The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and early summer has finally arrived. As the green slowly crept all over the city of Kim, Yang Xianrong's body became better and better, and one morning, she heard a magpie chirping in the branches, so she stretched her body, felt alive and comfortable, and lingered on the sickbed for so long, and finally everything had a new beginning.

The top priority is to save Sima Tan's life, in these days of illness, Yang Xianrong doesn't want to worry about outside things anymore, everything is left to chance, the mother is dead, her daughter is missing, she doesn't want to care about anyone else's affairs, anyway, she is determined to die, what about the rest, if you can fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you just die, it's not a big deal.

But now, her mood has changed again, how the Jin Dynasty is no longer under her control, but Sima Qin called her a mother, and she called her this title, anyway, she had to save the child's life. Sima Tan's imprisonment in Kim Yong City is only the first step, and if Yang Xianrong still has the value of being used, then Sima Tan has only a dead end. He is the former prince, and he has the support of the sheep, maybe he will make a comeback one day, Sima Yue will not allow such a thing to happen, so he will only be relieved if he dies.

This thought made Yang Xianrong break out in a cold sweat, and she hurriedly called Zhou Yi to ask what was going on in Chongming Palace.

Zhou Yi's order to sacrifice the sheep, from the day Sima Tan was imprisoned in Kim Yong City, he has been paying attention to the situation over there, and now nearly two months have passed, and it has been quiet over there, and it is reported that the three people who were locked up inside are also doing as usual, usually just reading books or playing around together, no illness or disaster.

Yang Xianrong's intuition was not quite right, according to Sima Yue's thoughts, he would not be so merciful to those who were threatening, so something in Luoyang stumbled his hands and feet, so that he had no time to take care of the situation on Kim Yong Cheng's side for a while.

Now in the court, there is no force that can compete with the king of the East China Sea, it can be said that the internal strife of the Jin Dynasty has been quelled for the time being, so the only thing that can trouble him is the external trouble.

Since the first year of Taikang, after the Jin Dynasty dominated the world, this dynasty has been subjected to various external nuisances. In the second year of Yuankang, the Huns Hao San raised troops, which was responded to by hundreds of thousands of people, and after being suppressed, the great uprisings of the displaced people all over the country broke out one after another.

Today, the rebels who are still active everywhere include the rebel army of the Bashu exile Li Te. In the first year of Yongning, Li Te, Li Xiong, led the refugees of Qin and Yongliu counties to revolt in Yizhou, when there was drought in Guanzhong, famine for many years, more than 100,000 people of all ethnic groups in the six counties flowed into the Bashu area to eat, and the local government forced them to return to their hometowns, provoking the uprising of the displaced people, repeatedly defeating the Jin army, capturing Guanghan, and besieging Chengdu. After Li Te's death, his son Li Xiong continued to lead the rebel army, and after capturing Chengdu, he became emperor and established the state of Cheng.

In addition to Li Xiong's army, in the second year of Tai'an, the Jin Dynasty rushed to Jingzhou to go to Yizhou, and was strongly opposed by the people, Zhang Chang, the leader of the Yiyang barbarians who had been a county official, gathered people to revolt in Anlu, he set up Qiu Shen, a county official in Shandu, as the son of heaven, and he was the prime minister, taking advantage of the time when the kings of the Jin court were fighting for the throne, they divided their troops to attack the city and plunder the land, and then although it was suppressed, it also left a mess.

In addition, there were also uprisings of Shile and Wang Tao in the northern Central Plains, and the Shandong and Hebei uprisings they brought had a huge impact, and hundreds of thousands of people defected one after another, which also brought deep troubles to the Jin court.

Finally, it was the rebel army of Liu Yuan of the Huns.

The external troubles are so serious, and it is not unrelated to the fact that these princes only care about the internal struggle for power, but give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of, and today, these rebel armies have grown and grown one by one, coupled with the small-scale uprisings in various places that have been followed by those who have been mottled and embarrassed, all of which have dealt a heavier blow to the already mottled and embarrassed Jin Dynasty.

Yang Xianrong leaned against the window, her mind was a little confused, she remembered the determination when Liu Yao left last year, he asked her to wait for him, he said that he would definitely come over to pick her up as soon as possible, could it really be that Liu Yao had any movement in order to fulfill his oath?

was stunned, Zhou Yi ran in from outside, he shallow to the sheep to salute, and said: "Niangniang, I inquired about it, the Hun Liu Yuan called the emperor, he amnesty the prisoners in the territory, changed the year name to Yongfeng, and also wantonly divided his sons and nephews and meritorious ministers, they are so public, it seems that Luoyang is bound to win, the king of the East China Sea is furious, and he has been transferring troops during this time, ready to deal with the war. ”

Sure enough, it was the Liu family, Yang Xianrong closed her eyes gently, I don't know whether she should be happy or worried, what she was most afraid of in the past was the final head-to-head confrontation between the two armies, at that time she and Liu Yao must be on two sides of hostility, either you die or I live. But now, her state of mind has changed, and she is even looking forward to Liu Yao's arrival, but how weak is such a thought, she doesn't dare to show it in the slightest.

"Any other news?" Yang Xianrong asked again.

Zhou Yi frowned and said, "I asked one of my brothers before, and he said that there was some faint rumor above, saying that the King of the East China Sea intended to take you back to the palace. ”

"Take me back to the palace?" Yang Xianrong was a little surprised, in her cognition, the king of the East China Sea regarded her like a beast of a flood, eager to get rid of it quickly, if it wasn't for Feng Hang to hold his handle, and save her life in this way, how could she still be alive in this world, let alone return to the palace again, why?

"The message should be reliable." Zhou Yi said: "You are the queen of the first emperor, and you live in this Jin Yong City because of the discord in the etiquette system, it is said that your return to the palace this time was proposed by His Majesty, and the king of the East China Sea approved it." ”

"Master, is there any news from there?" Yang Xianrong asked again.

Zhou Yi shook his head, he went to Luoyang, and walked around in front of Feng Hang's mansion several times, but he couldn't get in, but the result of his inquiry was indeed that Feng Hang was seriously ill, and I am afraid that he would die soon. Three-two

"I have to see Master." Yang Xianrong said: "No matter why the King of the East China Sea wants me to return to the palace, I have to go back, I have to see him again, he must have something to say to me." ”

"And the prince's side?" Zhou Yi asked softly.

"Before I go back, the King of the East Sea will definitely deal with Sima Tan. Then Zhou Yi," Yang Xianrong suddenly turned pale, and said: "You must find a way to protect the prince, and Aqi is the only bloodline of my Yang family, if it is a last resort......"

Yang Xianrong didn't say what he said, of course Zhou Yi understood, he nodded and withdrew from the Sogo Palace. Yang Xianrong exhaled a long breath, in this world, if she wants to protect the people she must protect, she has to do some cruel things with her conscience, maybe she will be complained about or even hated in the future, but she can't care about it.

The leisurely days are over, and Yang Xianrong up his ears every day to listen to the movements of the Chongming Palace. Until one night five days later, when she had just fallen asleep, she had not slept well since her mother had gone, and the slightest movement could wake her up, so when there was a noise outside, she immediately opened her eyes, put on her shoes and rushed outside.

What followed her out were Lin Xin and Lin Shuang, who rubbed their eyes and looked at Yang Xianrong inexplicably, and asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”

"Something happened to Chongming Palace." Yang Xianrong replied, his eyes kept staring in the direction of Chongming Palace, although the two halls occupied both sides of Kim Yong City, but Kim Yong City was not particularly large, the movement over there was getting louder and louder, and the more he heard it, the more he heard it.

Yang Xianrong couldn't rest assured, simply moved the ladder, and climbed to the roof, Lin Xin and Lin Shuang's hearts were confused, and they quickly called Zhang Hui and Hu Sheng, the two rushed out, and even pushed Yang Xianrong to the roof, she stood up and looked in the direction of Chongming Palace, in the darkness, she could faintly see a little light, which was the light from the torch.

Suddenly, the Chongming Hall was on fire, and those people directly set fire to the Chongming Palace. Yang Xianrong felt a sigh in her heart, and quickly ran down from the roof, knocked on the door of the temple, and she ran out. I haven't seen Zhou Yi's figure all the time, and I think that the person came over there to help.

"Niangniang," Hu Sheng stopped the panicked Yang Xianrong and said: "You can't go over, General Zhou will definitely have a way, you just wait here, if those people see you, I'm afraid that it will cause trouble again, and it's not good for General Zhou." ”

Yang Xianrong listened to Hu Sheng's words and retreated into the hall, but his heart couldn't calm down, and he kept pacing in the courtyard. The sky was already dark, the direction of the Chongming Hall was blazing, and the voices of people were getting louder and louder, and suddenly the door of the hall was knocked open, and three black shadows rushed in.

"Mother."

"Auntie."

With two salutations, the two figures had already walked to Yang Xianrong's side. They were still alive safely, and Yang Xianrong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the two people in front of her, both of them were a little embarrassed, their faces dirty, and they were wearing coarse cloth shirts, but their eyes were shining brightly in the night.

"I know it all." Yang Xianrong hugged the two of them and said, "Follow General Zhou, he will settle you well." She touched Sima Tan's face as she spoke, and said, "Good boy, don't think about anything else, save your life, and the future will be long." Then, she glanced at Ah Qi again and said, "Don't go to your father first, there will always be a reunion in the future, you have to be careful in everything, and your aunt will definitely find a way to take you back." ”

The two nodded firmly, looked at each other, took a step back, knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Xianrong three times, and then left with Zhou Yi. At 10 a.m., the fire in Chongming Hall was finally extinguished, but the thick black smoke still carried the burnt smell to all parts of Kim Yong City along the breeze.

At dawn, Zhou Yi finally returned, he handed over the two to a brother he trusted, and the man took the two to take refuge in a village on the outskirts of Luoyang, which was in the plague last year, almost the entire village died, and the village became a ghost village, there have always been rumors of haunting, few people dare to approach, and the two are temporarily safe to hide inside.

After settling the two of them, Zhou Yi also went to Chongming Hall to inquire about the situation, except for a few people on duty, everyone else went back to Luoyang to resume their lives.

"Xiao Hu......" Yang Xianrong asked hesitantly.

"People burned beyond recognition, in addition to wearing His Royal Highness's jade crown on his head, there is only a seal of His Highness beside him, his height is almost the same as His Highness, it will not arouse suspicion, Niangniang rest assured." Zhou Yi said.

"It's that I'm sorry for him, but I really didn't expect this kid to be so loyal and willing to sacrifice his life to save Qin'er." Yang Xianrong sighed and asked, "Did Luoyang say how to deal with the corpse?" ”

Zhou Yi shook his head, and Yang Xianrong said again: "In two days, while there is no one, let's bury him alive." ”
