Volume 1 Chapter 1 The Seven Kingdoms Divide the Summer
In 853 of the Xia calendar, a terrifying secret occurred in the royal family of the Great Xia Empire, causing the general of Yiwei Ming Shiyin to flee Ningdu.
Ming Shiyin mobilized 100,000 elite soldiers from the border pass, all the way to attack, Chen Bing Ning was under the capital, and the princes around the country listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, and there was no prince all the way, and he entered the king of Beijing. forced the Great Xia Emperor Xuanyuan Yang to crown him as the king of Zhongshan, and the Ming clan hijacked the royal family by force, and the Great Xia royal family existed in name only.
The Great Xia Dynasty has lasted for more than 800 years, and now, it is difficult for traitors to repay the country for their loyalty and righteousness in the court, and corrupt officials have no way out for the common people.
The secret news of the royal family and the incident of Chen Bing Ningdu of the Ming clan were the last straw that crushed the panicked Great Xia Empire, and the imperial authority of Great Xia was gone. The people who could not survive raised the banner of rebellion, and the flames of war swept the entire continent, and the mainland fell into a situation of constant strife.
The war lasted twenty-five years, and the population of the Bactria Empire plummeted from 60,000 to 40,000, and the rebels were eventually suppressed. However, the princes of various places have become a general trend, and they have split their plans to demarcate their borders and ask themselves to be crowned kings.
Xuanyuan Yang was powerless to suppress it, and left in a fit of anger. The weak and incompetent prince Xuanyuan Han succeeded to the throne and was forced to recognize the status of the princes in various places, so far, the princes and the Xuanyuan clan signed an agreement in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Linhe City, known as the "Linhe Convention".
Now that the princes of each country have been crowned kings, they have divided their own borders and established their kingdoms one after another. These seven kingdoms are the Ming clan of Zhongshan, the king of Zhongshan, the northernmost king of Northern Meng, the king of Jiang, the king of the East China Sea in the east, the king Ling of the Western Wei in the west, the Duan clan of the king of Nanyue in the south, the Tang clan of Shu in the southwest, and the Xu clan of the king of Chu in the middle.
"This is the story of the Seven Kingdoms Dividing Summer." Xu Xiang muttered and put down the bamboo slip in his hand, his eyes closed slightly, his right hand was raised slightly, and his index finger gently tapped his temple.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and picked up a piece of white and flawless "jade pendant" with good texture in his left hand. muttered in his mouth, "I didn't expect my Xu Xiang to have such a strange experience!" ”
"But what's the matter with you?" Xu Xiang stared at the jade pendant in his hand, and a cool feeling of ice came to his hand, and a wave of doubts came to his mind.
"This jade pendant was given to me by my grandfather, and it is said that he obtained it in an ancient karst cave when he was in Lop Nur. Is it all because of it? ”
"Tuk Tuk" knocked on the door, Xu Xiang quickly put away the jade pendant, cleared his throat, and said, "Please come in." ”
"Your Highness, the princess is here!" A middle-aged man in a gray cloth coat came in and said to him when he came in.
Xu Xiang's face changed, he quickly took off his coat, then hung it on the screen, drilled into the bed, and said in a hurry and whisper: "Old Yang, how do you know it?" ”
"Your Highness rest assured, your subordinates understand."
Xu Xiang closed his eyes and began to pretend to be unconscious, the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, the light footsteps were slowly approaching, and he could hear that there were two people coming.
"Steward Yang, Changsha hasn't woken up yet?" Xu Xiang felt someone walk to his bedside, and a light and pleasant girl's voice asked.
"Back to the princess, Your Highness has not been awake since she fell into the water the night before. But don't worry, the princess, the doctor has come to see him in the morning, and he says that he is fine. Xu Xiang's servant replied.
The girl didn't speak again, the air was quiet for a while, she gently stroked Xu Xiang's face, Xu Xiang felt a slippery little hand caressing herself, making him slightly unnatural.
"Changsha, you have to get better quickly, our wedding ceremony is not yet complete." The girl's voice looked a little sad.
"Hahaha......" At this time, a burst of laughter came, and a man dressed luxuriously and with a fat face like a pig walked in from outside the door, "Xu Changsha, this prince has come to see you!" ”
Although it was a visit, there was no concern in his words, Xu Xiang thought to himself, "The person who came is not good." ”
"Yo, Princess Lanxin is also there?" The fat-faced man seemed to be a little pleased, and looked at the girl with bright eyes and said.
The girl frowned, "Nangong Que, my husband hasn't woken up yet, please leave, don't disturb my husband's recuperation!" ”
"Haven't woken up yet? I don't think he can wake up! Something so big happened, even if he woke up, he might as well be dead! On this wedding day, he actually got drunk and fell into the water, anyway, Da Chu is over, and it is useless for this waste prince to live, it is better to die! The big fat man sneered, and the words he said made the whole room very unhappy, even Xu Xiang, who was pretending to be unconscious, couldn't wait to jump up at this time and give him a big mouth.
"Nangong Que, keep your mouth clean! My husband has his own natural appearance, what do you mean by cursing my husband like this? The girl stood up with a pout, looking very angry.
"I said Princess Lanxin, do you still call this waste a husband? You marriage king didn't want to agree in the first place, plus this kind of thing happened the night before, the king's face was lost. I heard that the king will soon issue an order to expel Xu Changsha from the East China Sea! ”
The girl's face was shocked, "What did you say?" Why would my father want to expel my husband? My husband is the second prince of Da Chu! ”
"Hahaha...... Second Prince? Where is there any big chu now? A month ago, Beimeng went all the way south and conquered the twenty-three cities of Great Chu, and the monarchs of Chu were all killed in battle, only Xu Changjun was struggling to defend those three small cities, occasionally breathing! ”
"It wasn't until the day before yesterday that the news that the Chu State had been occupied by Northern Mongolia came over. From the moment the news reached the East China Sea. He's just a slave who died in the country, but the king is merciful and didn't give this waste to Beimeng. ”
Xu Xiang woke up yesterday, and he was still immersed in a daze, not figuring out the situation.
He only knew that his name was Xu Xiang, the word was Changsha, and he was the second prince of the Great Chu State.
And all this is very strange to him, he doesn't know this world, and he doesn't know the people here.
"Spread the king's will!" Just as Xu Xiang was thinking about these things, a sharp voice suddenly came.
"Hahaha...... I say, look, as soon as he speaks of expelling him, the king's will will soon come! Nangong Que laughed, looking very proud.
Outside the door, a man wearing a palace costume and an inner prison walked in, the man was still holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and said calmly: "Spread the king's will, Xu Xiang listens to the will." ”
"Lord Zhongchang, my husband fell into the water last night and hasn't woken up yet." Princess Lan Xin bowed slightly to the waiter and said.
"It turned out to be Princess Lanxin." The attendant smiled slightly, and then said, "Our family is reading the king's will, whether Xu Xiang is awake or not, this will still has to be read." ”
"Listen to the king's will!" The whole room knelt down and bowed their heads.
"Listen to the way of heaven, and control the mountains and rivers. Xu Xiang, the second prince of Chu, the three-year proton period has expired, and the dynasty follows the system, and Angelica is a great Chu. The widow is now supporting the imperial documents, ordering: Xu Xiang returns to Chu, and the county officials in the East China Sea must not stop it. It is also said that Yu Qiduo, Xu Xiang and Princess Lanxin's marriage will be stopped. The attendant unfolded the bamboo slip in his hand and read it aloud.
When Xu Xiang heard this, he also heard a rough idea, and this will was nothing more than a release order. Xu Xiang is the proton of Da Chu in the East China Sea, all his actions are monitored, if he wants to leave the capital of the East China Sea, he will definitely not be allowed, since this East China Sea monarch's order is given, then his future actions, no one will stop him. And the latter words were simple and clear, and he dissolved his marriage with this girl with one sentence.
Xu Xiang felt that there was nothing, his wife was originally unnecessary, as long as he could develop obscenely, don't wave, no one would see his abnormality.
But the girl seemed to be unacceptable, Tong Ran stood up, snatched the bamboo slip, looked at the words on the bamboo slip, and muttered in disbelief: "How is it possible? How can it be? How could the Father make such a will? ”
"Hahaha, Princess Lanxin, I'll just say it! You still don't believe it! Nangong Que couldn't stop laughing, looking very proud.
"Your Royal Highness, the king has made a decree, and I hope you will not come to see him again in the future. Wang Shangnian gave Xu Xiang ten days to recuperate when he fell into the water, and after ten days, he had to leave Linzi City! The chamberlain said lightly.
"Impossible!" Princess Lan Xin threw the bamboo slip in her hand to the ground, "I'm going to ask my father in person!" ”
After saying that, she rushed out directly, and her maid Jing'er also trotted out. The inner attendant bent down, picked up the bamboo slip, gently put it on the bed, and said lightly: "Xu Xiang, remember, within ten days, you must leave Linzi City, otherwise you will ......."
After speaking, it didn't matter whether Xu Xiang woke up or not, he turned around and left the room, and Nangong Que, who had spoken wildly just now, sneered, "Xu Changsha, Xu Changsha, what are you going to fight with me?" Without the identity of a proton, without the protection of the king, what are you? ”
After speaking, he patted Lao Yang's shoulder again, "Remember, ten days!" After ten days, you and your master had better not appear before me, or else you ......"
Lao Yang's face was angry, his fists were crunched, and a pair of eyes stared at Nangong Que.
"What? Want to hit me? I know you're a master of the quadruple? Nangong Que patted Lao Yang's face fearlessly, "You're going to beat me!" ”
"What? Don't dare? Hahaha......"
"Please leave Nangong Gongzi, my Royal Highness must have a good life and recuperate, otherwise my master will not be awake when the ten-day period comes. Even if my old Yang gave up this life, I will sue you in front of the king to disturb His Highness's recuperation! Lao Yang's fist slowly loosened and calmed down.
"Hey, you broken proton mansion, I don't want to stay yet, master! Ten days later, I see how your dog is barking in front of me! Nangong Que laughed wildly and walked away.
Xu Xiang sat up from the bed, looked at Nangong Que's invincible back, his eyes exuded a sharp gaze, and asked lightly, "What is the origin of that guy?" ”
