Chapter 1: The Scourge of Witchcraft
Dizzy.
When Wei Yan woke up, he found that the surrounding environment was wrong, and he faintly heard a few suppressed cries.
What catches your eye is a quaint, lavishly decorated room with a variety of fine and ancient furnishings.
Just when he was in a daze, a woman's cry suddenly came from outside: "Auntie, the matter has come to this, I will flee with the prince as soon as possible, if you wait for Your Majesty to come back, our lives will not be guaranteed." ”
Another soft female voice sighed, "Even if you escape from this palace, where can you escape?" My Wei Zifu entered the palace when he was more than ten years old, and now he has been loyal to His Majesty all his life. In the end, he was framed by a traitor and ended up like this. Run, take your words, run away quickly. ”
The woman cried, "Auntie, what about you? What about sickness? ”
No one spoke anymore, and it was quiet outside.
Wei Yan, who was lying on the bed, had a buzzing head.
Wei Zifu?
Liu's illness?
The prince fled?
The expression on his face immediately became exciting.
The Han Empire, the late period of Emperor Wu, the scourge of witches?
Suddenly, a strange memory flooded into his mind.
After a while, he gradually came to his senses.
Great Yan Empire, two years of conquest and peace.
July Gengyin Day.
The capital of the country is Chang'an.
There are Emperor Wu, Wei Zifu, Wei Jia, Huo Jia, Xiongnu, and countries in the Western Regions.
However, many of the characters are not the same as history.
He remembered that in the past, Liu Yi was already the grandson of the crown prince Liu Ju, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu, and was still in swaddling clothes when the witch curse occurred, just a baby.
But now, Liu Yi is the son of Liu Ju, the grandson of Emperor Wu, and is thirteen years old, and he is also his playmate and a distant cousin who can't beat Baganzi.
He remembered that there were many outstanding generals who fought against the Xiongnu during the era of Emperor Wu, the most famous of which were Wei Qing and Huo Quai.
But now, there doesn't seem to be the Young Hero Champion Hou here, only Wei Qing, who has long since died, and Huo Guang, who has not yet taken over the position of general.
It seems that the Great Yan Empire he came to has many similarities with the former Great Han Empire, but it is not exactly the same.
At this time, noisy footsteps and strange exclamations suddenly came from outside.
"Yo, the queen hanged herself in fear of sin!"
"What about the others? Don't let any of them go! ”
The door was kicked open.
A burly middle-aged man dressed in a gold-inlaid Hanfu strode in, followed by a group of palace guards wearing strong armor and holding sharp soldiers.
Wei Yan woke up and just sat up from the bed, when a woman's reprimand suddenly sounded next to him: "Who dares to trespass on the queen's bedroom!" ”
Wei Yan turned his head and saw that it was a palace maid.
This palace maid should be in charge of guarding him here, she was just napping, and she didn't seem to know what was going on outside.
The burly middle-aged man sneered, pulled out the sword at his waist with a "bang", and slashed directly at the palace maid's neck!
The palace maid suddenly screamed and fell to the ground on the spot, bleeding profusely.
Only then did the man put away his sword, looked at Wei Yan on the bed and shouted, "I am the embroidered Yu Shi Jiang Chong!" On the orders of His Majesty, arrest the prince for plotting against his comrades! The queen has committed suicide in fear of crime, and the same party has been arrested! Who are you and why are you in this queen's bedroom? ”
Wei Yan lowered his head, glanced at the palace maid who died tragically on the ground, narrowed his eyes, Fang raised his head, and looked seriously at the treacherous villain in front of him who was notorious in history and made future generations gnash their teeth.
Sure enough, it's different from history.
Jiang Chong in history, at the beginning of the crown prince Liu Ju's army, was already killed, and it is impossible for him to live until now.
At this time, a eunuch who followed Jiang Chong said in a low voice: "My lord, this person is a distant relative of the queen mother, named Wei Yan, who came to Kyoto with his uncle's family from a remote place more than a month ago and defected to the Wei family. ”
Jiang Chong sneered, and said with disdain: "It turned out to be a country boy, no wonder he looked stupid and stupid, and he couldn't even speak." ”
He put away his sword and ordered the guards behind him: "Escort to the cell, wait for Your Majesty's will, it is estimated that you will be beheaded if you don't live for three days." Hmph, I don't know that hillbilly from the poor countryside, really think that the Wei family can continue to be brilliant? All rushed to die! ”
Wei Yan was taken out and saw his aunt and other women hanging themselves on white silk, as well as the palace maid.
One of them, with his hair covering his face and dressed differently, was none other than the Empress Wei, who was admired and regretted in history.
Wei Yan's heart was blocked.
When I saw this history, I felt sad and sad for the ending of Empress Wei.
Now that I see it with my own eyes, my heart is even more uncomfortable.
There was chaos in the palace.
Anyone who had been close to or related to the crown prince was arrested and sent to prison to be disposed of after the emperor returned from the Ganquan Palace.
Although Wei Yan is a distant relative that Empress Wei can't beat, at least he is also related to the Wei family and belongs to the Wei family, so he was also imprisoned.
When they were brought into the dark cell, there were already many prisoners in it, some of whom had just entered because of the prince's unjust case, and some who had already entered.
In the past few days, there have been too many new prisoners because the prince has been implicated.
Twenty-six prisons have long been filled.
Yongxiang and Yeting Shao prisons, which specialize in female prisoners, are also full.
So a lot of newly arrested prisoners have been stuffed here, men and women, old and young.
Anyway, it's going to be cut soon.
Many families overturned overnight.
From the elderly in their seventies and eighties to babies in their infants, no one was spared.
Wei Yan remembered that the witch curse of that year, at least hundreds of thousands of people died unjustly, and the wide implication was rare in the entire history, and it was the biggest stain on Emperor Wu's life.
The cell door opened, and Wei Yan was roughly pushed into a cell.
The floor was covered with soft grass, and there was a lot of space, with tables and chairs, and beds, which was much better than the cells that ordinary people lived in.
But there are just too many people.
Wei Yan probably counted, and with him, there were thirty-five people in this cell, not only women, but also crying babies and children.
Miserable!
At this time, a hand suddenly stretched out in the cell next to him, shook it at him, and shouted, "Brother Yan, here." ”
Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, leaned over and looked at the young and immature young man's cheeks exposed in the crack of the iron bar, and was stunned for a long time, Fang suddenly said excitedly: "Damn!" Liu...... Liu...... Liu's illness has been! ”
The young man next door was quite embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Brother Yan, be quiet, are you still not well with a fever?" ”
Wei Yan held his outstretched hand tightly, his heart was turbulent, wave after wave, staring at him seriously for a long time, Fang suddenly said: "What is your name Brother Yan, in the future, you will be big, I will be small, I will call you brother!" Brother! Sick brother! ”
Just kidding, this is a soaring sky in the future, so that the Huns will come to the court, and the countries of the Western Regions will bow their heads, Zhongxing Han, no, the Xiaoxuan Emperor of the Zhongxing Dayan Empire!
- His idol!
