Chapter 369: What is the Way of Heaven?

In the summer of the fifth year of Mingdao, the fire flowed in July.

There was a palace change in the royal family of Qiguo, and I heard that the former princess was killed back and reported the tragic death of the royal family that year.

The palace change happened very interestingly, neither from the outside but from the outside, nor from the inside silently.

But on a hot morning, the guards woke up to find that their hands and feet were so weak that they could not even lift their knives. Clearly, someone had dropped something in last night's meal.

If the guards can't hold a knife, it means that the palace door is wide open. The new emperor of Qiguo saw that the general trend was gone, and committed suicide with many concubines.

On the morning of the second day, when the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was panicking, the woman on the throne threw something out of her hand, which turned out to be the long-lost jade seal of the country.

The hundred officials were shocked, bowed down, and shouted long live.

At this point, the first female emperor of the imperial family of Qiguo was born.

When the empress ascended the throne, the first thing she did was to recruit men from all over the world to join the army, and issued a decree saying that all those who joined the army, including wives and children, would be subsidized by three taels of silver every month. If he dies on the battlefield in battle, his family will be supported by the state.

Among the three kingdoms, Qiguo was the poorest, and the people lived extremely hard, and as soon as this edict came out, someone from every family joined the army.

The empress handed over the newly recruited soldiers to a woman named Zhengyang for training. The recruits were not convinced at first, and there was no reason for a dignified seven-foot man to bow to a woman.

Who knows, this woman seems to be weak, but her kung fu is first-class, and she tortures those recruits to the point that no one dares to challenge her authority after that.

The second thing the empress did after ascending the throne was to encourage the people to do business. and lowered the tax.

Just when the empress was in full swing to govern her country.

The royal family of Xin broke out into a shocking scandal.

The Empress Dowager Li and the Marquis of Xiaoyao are not brother and sister, but once husband and wife.

With the outbreak of this earth-shattering scandal, there was an undercurrent in the bright room, which spread at a lightning speed.

The biological mother of the emperor of the dynasty was Concubine Shu of Chonghua Palace, and Empress Dowager Li was not the emperor's biological mother, and Concubine Shu's death was at the hands of Empress Dowager Li.

As soon as the news came out, Kyushu was in an uproar.

The hundred officials headed by Gao Xiang, including the protégés of the Cui family. Books have been put on the books. Please let the Queen Mother enjoy her life and return to the emperor.

Empress Dowager Li was furious and immediately took a series of measures to resist.

She first removed the prime minister from her position, and then beheaded several ministers who scolded her at the time. and put the emperor under house arrest in the dormitory. Together with the empress, he controlled the government.

Empress Dowager Li's first thing after the government of the Dugang Dynasty. It was to attack the protégé of the Gao family, Emperor Ming Dao turned a deaf ear to everything that happened outside, and was only obsessed with calligraphy and painting.

Gao Xiang was deposed. There are many protégés of a century-old family. At this time, the eldest of the Cui family suddenly entered Beijing with his son and daughter-in-law. Three days later, the protégés of all the two families in Beijing gathered in the Xiangfu to discuss the plan.

In the summer of this year, there was a heavy rainstorm in the Yangtze River basin of Shen State. The downpour rained for three days and three nights, and it seemed that God was going to leak the sky.

After the rain stopped, the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River became Zeguo, the people's fields, farmhouses were flooded, and the water receded, it was already a mess.

Empress Dowager Li immediately ordered disaster relief. The strange thing is that the grain merchants have no grain in their hands. The treasury is empty, but there is nowhere to go.

When the people did not have enough to eat, they wanted to rebel, and just when the Xin country was in turmoil, a caravan from the country of Qi sold grain at a high price.

At the same time as the grain was rising, the other six of the seven things that opened the door also rose, the silver began to depreciate sharply, bandits were frequent, and the country of Xin was in chaos.

The chaos of the external phase has already begun, and the internal phase has just begun.

Empress Gao was dissatisfied with Emperor Mingdao's obsession with calligraphy and painting, and began to attack his concubine, and the harem was under her rule, complaining.

Empress Dowager Li was overwhelmed by the government and powerless. At this time, the three kings wrote together, asking to posthumously crown the first emperor's biological mother, Concubine Shu, as the queen mother, and move people into the Taimiao to share the cave with the first emperor.

Empress Dowager Li tore up the chapter on the spot, ordered the fiefdom of the three kings to be cut, and ordered the three kings to enter Beijing to face the saint.

As soon as the will came out, the three kings came to resist death and did not enter Beijing.

Empress Dowager Li took the opportunity to hand over the document, saying that the three kings were in rebellion and ordered someone to suppress it.

The three kings hugged together and went to war with the royal family, and the civil strife in Xin officially began.

……

In the winter of the fifth year of Mingdao, there was a lot of snow.

In order to express the friendship between the two countries to the Wei State, the Empress of the Qi Kingdom selected four stunning beauties and presented them to the Wei Emperor.

After several years of hard work, Emperor Wei has been peaceful inside and outside. He saw that the two neighbors were in a tight state of infighting, so he was not in a hurry to expand, but only watched from the side and reaped the benefits of fishing.

So he smiled and accepted it.

These four women have been trained by Qingqing, and they have excellent skills in the first thing in bed, or gentle, or charming, or sexy, or cute, and only fascinate Emperor Wei.

The spring night is short and short, and the king does not rise early.

Emperor Wei did not expect that his transformation began with the arrival of these four women.

At the same time that Emperor Wei was immersed in women's sex, many businessmen appeared among the Wei people, and they bought grain, herbs, and horses at high prices.

The people did not know what was going on, and when they saw that it was profitable, they exchanged the surplus grain and herbs at home for a lot of silver.

The wave of acquisitions has been going on for two full years.

……

Ming Dao in the autumn of the sixth year.

The rebellion of the three kings of the Xin State has not yet subsided, and at this time the treasury is empty, and even the expenditure of the army is already a problem.

Someone took the opportunity to suggest to the Queen Mother that increasing the taxes of the people could enrich the treasury. After thinking about it again and again, Empress Dowager Li accepted it.

The people had no money in the first place, and they wanted to raise taxes, and the officials forced the people to rebel, and all of a sudden the country was full of wolves.

At this moment, a rebel army that was on the side of the Qing monarch and was fair came out.

The leader of the rebel army is surnamed Qi Mingjin, a first-class fat man, this person is brave and good at fighting, and his martial arts are strong. What's even worse is that there is a bald master named Lu Bu on the side, who is resourceful, insidious and cunning.

This team, which originally consisted of only 500 people, was escorted to 30,000 people in just a few months because of its strict discipline, did not harm the common people, and had enough food to feed the soldiers and eat warm clothes.

So far, the Three Kings. The rebel army and the court of the Xin State formed a three-legged situation.

……

The winter of the seventh year of Mingdao.

Gao Zecheng and Cui Rongxuan, who lived in seclusion at home, spoke out in unison, saying that the Queen Mother was arbitrary and cruel to Zhongliang, and once again asked the Queen Mother to return to the emperor. Empress Dowager Li was so angry that she fell ill in bed.

The queen took the opportunity to supervise the country, she followed the example of the Empress Dowager Li, sat under the court in a dignified manner, and looked at the ministers below and shouted long live, and a sense of pride arose.

Power is the best poison in the world, and the taste of Queen Gao's first hall is unstoppable. From then on, the court. The harem fell into her hands.

The century-old royal family of the Xin Kingdom was ruled by a female streamer, which made Song Nian, a general who had always been loyal to the royal family, unbearable. He immediately led an army of 100,000 and rushed back to the capital.

At this time, the men and horses of the three kings. The rebels and the Song Dynasty surrounded the imperial city. Knocked open the hundred-year-old door.

Among the thousands of troops. A petite figure descended from her horse and slowly walked into the palace gate she had been familiar with a few years ago.

……

In Nagato Palace, the glory is still there.

But I don't know why. exudes a breath of death, such an aura, Lin Xi had smelled on his father and Li Yingjie.

Chunyang and Father-in-law Xia knelt down in front of the big bed, as if they were shedding tears, and when they heard the footsteps, they turned around with a surprised face.

Seeing Gao Xiang and Queen Jing following behind, the two silently let go of their positions in front of the bed.

Lin Xi's footsteps moved slightly, his eyes fell, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

The woman in front of her was gray-haired, her face was wrinkled, her cheekbones were prominent, and her eyes were deeply sunken.

Thinking of her favor in the past, Lynsey somehow called softly: "Grandmother! ”

Li Yan slowly opened her eyes, and a sharp light burst out in her eyes, she couldn't believe that the person standing in front of her was actually Lin Xi.

After a moment, the light in her eyes slowly shrank, she opened her mouth and said in a dumb voice, "You are here." ”

"I'm coming."

"Are you here to take revenge on me?"

Lin Xi smiled faintly. Her mother died because of her, and her sister couldn't wake up because of her, so she did come to take revenge.

"You win, do it."

Becoming the king and defeating the king, although Li Yan was so sick that she couldn't move, she also expected what was happening outside. The country she worked hard and worked hard to protect was defeated.

She really came in.

Lin Xi shook his head and said softly: "Grandmother, if I were you, I would never hide the emperor's background." Giving birth to grace is of course important, but nurturing grace is greater than heaven and earth. ”

Li Yan's face was dejected, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

When the incident in Chonghua Palace happened, the emperor knelt down in front of her, only begging her to open the coffin and look at her biological mother.

She thought about it again and again, and finally agreed.

When she opened the mausoleum, she and the emperor were shocked. The Emperor was holding her knees and losing his voice in pain.

Her tears fell fiercer than the emperor. What she never expected was that Li Yingjie ...... actually buried the concubine with the ceremonial staff of the concubine.

Li Yan was remorseful. This man was so thoughtful about her, and she ...... He was so angry that he died.

Grace is greater than heaven. If she hadn't gone her own way in the first place...... Isn't there such a day?

Li Yan's wrinkled eyes were full of tears.

Lin Xi's eyes darkened slightly: "Grandmother, I don't hate you. Go in peace, I will bury you next to the emperor. ”

Li Yan's eyes lit up, and she coughed violently.

"You...... You...... Seriously? ”

Lin Xi nodded: "You deserve that position." ”

"Lynsey!" Li Yan choked.

Lin Xi leaned over and said softly, "Before I came, I went to my grandfather's grave to ask for my sin." He was living well there. You can rest assured. ”

After that, without hesitation, turn around and leave.

The green mountains and green waters are very good. Li Yan looked at the top of her head blankly, the corners of her mouth smiled faintly, and after a while, she slowly closed her eyes.

As soon as he walked out of the Nagato Palace, there was an exclamation from behind, followed by a wail, and Lin Xi paused.

This legendary woman has finally gone through her life.

Gongye? Yes?

I'll leave it to future generations to comment.

……

Leave Nagato Palace to the left, walk a little half a cup of tea, and it will be the queen's bedroom.

Lynsey had never been to this palace before, and everything seemed strange. She didn't want to see this person, but for the sake of her senior sister, she had to meet her.

Speaking of which, Lin Xi has grown so big and has never hated anyone, even Aunt Zhu who slapped her, she can laugh it off.

But this man, she hates. Because she hurt the people she cares about the most.

Lyncy strode in, and was surprised to see High Iris sitting in front of the dresser, tending to her long hair.

Crape myrtle, Lamei knelt on the ground.

Lin Xi vaguely remembered that in Pingwu Courtyard, what she liked to see the most was the third lady's mirror makeup. The white jade-like hands, through the long hair, have a touching beauty.

At that time, she was thinking in her heart, what kind of man does such a woman need?

Gao Iris looked back and looked directly at her, a little cold.

Linsey frowned.

It is said that it is born from the heart, in her memory, the third lady has always been gentle and lovely, why does she look a little hideous now, and her body is full of anger, which is not as good-looking as before.

While Linsey was looking, High Iris was also looking at her.

Since beating her and uncovering the human skin, the high iris has not taken a good look at her. She is so beautiful, and her complexion is especially above herself.

She held her head high and sneered, "You're here to kill this palace." ”

Lin Xi nodded, and shook his head again: "I really want to kill you." But you're daddy's biological daughter, and I was raised by daddy, so I won't kill you. ”

"Daddy, where did Daddy come from?" The high iris has a fierce look in his eyes.

Lin Xi put his hand behind his back, and a soft color flashed in his eyes: "My father, that is, your biological father." It's a long story, do you want to hear it? ”

The high iris long sleeves flicked, and the things on the dresser fell to the ground.

Gao Iris said coldly: "This palace doesn't want to listen to your story, this palace just wants to know what you are doing in the palace." This palace belongs to the main palace, and it belongs to me with a high iris, and no one can take it away. You should all prostrate at the feet of this palace and shout long live to this palace. ”

Lin Xi's eyebrows frowned even tighter, she looked at the woman in the phoenix robe in front of her with some curiosity, and smiled: "If Empress Dowager Li said this, I still admire it, I only think it's ridiculous when you say this." ”

"Presumptuous, you dare to talk to this palace like this." The high iris phoenix eyebrows are high, and the corners of the eyes are sharp.

Lin Xi slowly stepped forward and turned her around: "Even the palace is gone, and it still calls itself the palace." Third Miss, you are really good. ”

"You ......"

Lin Xi suddenly felt that she was a little hateful, and didn't want to talk nonsense, "Let's settle the score, what you owe me, what you owe to my senior sister, how can you pay it back." ”

Gao Iris said awe-inspiringly: "This palace doesn't owe you, I don't owe you your senior sister." You two try to run away in vain, and you deserve everything. What this palace does is to do the right thing for heaven. ”

"Acting for the heavens?"

Lin Xi laughed: "What is the sky? What is the Tao? What is the Heavenly Dao? ”

"The way of heaven is the imperial power, like you to enter the palace and talk so recklessly with the palace, it is against the sky, and everyone can punish it."

Lin Xi was very surprised, she could actually say such righteous words, she remembered that the third lady's favorite was always poetry.

When the third lady read the poems, her tone was abrupt and her voice was very soft, and she often said: "Linxi, the beauty in this poem must be understood by reading thousands of times." ”

Lin Xi slowly closed her eyes. (To be continued......)
