Volume 1 The Towering Great Yi Chapter 1 The Past of Shengjing of the Wedge
251 BC, Dongzhou Continent, the last years of the Zhou Dynasty.
Just in the turbulent times, the royal family coveted comfort and did not care about the affairs of the world, and the Zhou dynasty had hidden traces of decline.
However, at this time, Emperor Zhou Yi sitting on the dragon chair was far more unscrupulous than his father, Emperor Zhou Ai, and acted absurdly.
Enjoying all day long and neglecting political affairs, not caring about the people's livelihood and suffering, lingering in front of the harem beauties all day long, listening to and believing partially, not distinguishing between loyalty and treachery, and not distinguishing between rewards and punishments.
As a result, the Great Zhou Empire, which used to dominate the Dongzhou continent, is now struggling with the people, the people in various states are complaining, and the vassal states are ambitious.
In this way, the centuries-old Zhou Dynasty empire was defeated day by day by the descendants of the Zhou royal family.
In the following hundred years, the Zhou Dynasty Empire, which was so powerful in the past that it sent envoys from all countries to the dynasty, was like being cursed by a great witch.
The successive rulers of the Zhou Dynasty after Emperor Wai and Emperor Yi were all absurd and cruel, and no one was worthy of the great responsibility of the country.
In the end, the people of the world were angry, and there were righteous armies in various places from time to time.
Among the armies dispatched in the name of the Qing monarch in various places, the Jinling Shence Army led by Jinling Muxing was the most prominent.
Everywhere passed, the people who received it, the good birds chose the trees to perch, and for a while, people of insight from all over the East Continent flocked to it.
Shangguo was in turmoil, and the surrounding countries such as Yingqu and Goge, which had been surrendered a hundred years ago, finally couldn't hold back and were ready to move, and frequently sent troops on a small scale on the border to try.
The troubled times have finally arrived, and Dongzhou, which has been calm for hundreds of years, is in turmoil.
The melee inside and outside Dongzhou lasted for thirteen years. Mu Xing was eloquent and strategic, fought in the south and the north, defeated the enemy and appeased the people, established the vast Dayi Empire, and called himself the "First Emperor".
With Shengjing as the capital, change the Yuan Emperor.
At this time, three-quarters of the territory of the Dongzhou continent was included in the big yi, which was an unprecedented prosperity.
In the first year of Emperor Yao, the barbarians returned to obedience, and all countries came to court.
At this point, the Dongzhou Continent opened a new history of the Mu royal family ruling the world.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first emperor rewarded five trusted generals with outstanding achievements as kings with different surnames, each with 80,000 soldiers.
That is, Prince An Shen Qiwen, Prince Rong Kexian, Prince Li Limu, Prince Gong Li Chenghu, Prince Rui Xuanyuan Che.
The royal fief is divided into five kings, and the commander is in charge of Jue, and the royal decree is sent to the palace, and the throne must be inherited by his eldest son.
In the past dynasties, the succession of the prince to lead the army, in charge of the Lingjue, if there is no son-in-law, then according to the eldest and youngest in an orderly succession, and demoted to the first rank, the prince does not need to go to the court to discuss politics before the throne.
And issued another decree, the prince is in charge of the army, and the heir will be in Beijing to serve the female dependents, and the heir is in charge of the army, and the prince will enjoy a peaceful family in Beijing.
After the first emperor, the emperors of the next dynasty all worked hard, the rewards and punishments were clear, and the pattern of the world gradually stabilized.
The generation of Emperor Muxi is the master of great joy, and his absurd words and deeds are quite like those in power in the last years of the Zhou Dynasty.
Xi Emperor and his people, contrary to the simple style of the previous emperors, like luxury.
In order to repair the favored concubine Huagong, he beheaded three imperial histories in a row, and in the name of going out of the palace to observe the people's feelings, he searched the people's fat and ointment all the way and overhauled his private house.
All the way to luxury, robbing the daughter of a martial arts family, frequently holding drafts in the people, and doing the best to enjoy it.
He had ordered several expeditions to southern Xinjiang for Yifuguangjin, but they were all defeated, resulting in the emptiness of the national treasury of Dayi, and the people in the state capitals were once again miserable, and complaints arose.
The territory of Dayi on Dongzhou is shrinking day by day, and the countries of Rouran, Southern Xinjiang, Loulan, Turkic, and Yingqu are growing stronger and stronger.
At the same time, Dongzhou Wulin was also under the leadership of the Lingnan Ye family, Fuzhou Gongsun, Hexi Bai family, Jing'an Lu family, and Yangming Chen family, and gradually flourished.
In the fifth year of Emperor Xi's accession to the throne and the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Prince Rui raised his army from the feudal land of Handan in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and the world changed dramatically.
As soon as the emperor of Shengjing Chaoyang Palace issued an order, King An, King Rong, and King Gong immediately sent troops to Shengjing.
However, the whip was beyond reach, the capital was in danger, and the six generals of the emperor's personal guard army in the palace fought desperately and bravely, barely able to hold out until the three armies arrived in the palace.
After quelling the rebellion of King Rui, Emperor Xi rewarded him for his merits, regardless of the imperial history, and insisted on ordering that the three kings should not enter the palace without wearing swords, and the three kings and the prince should be exempted from kneeling in front of the saints.
Not only that, but he even ignored the advice of the ministers and did not ask the reason for the demotion of the prince of Li, and accepted the order Jue, so that his lineage was hereditary and the throne of the county.
Subsequently, he was given the title of six generals, headed by Liu Yong, Marquis of Zhennan, respectively, Chang'an, Marquis Chang'an, Marquis of Zhongyi, and Marquis Baijiang of Jiangyang, and the title was hereditary.
The two generals who protected the main hall with their blood were exceptionally allowed to give their eldest son to inherit the title, namely the Sun family, the prince of Qi, and the Jiang family, the prince of Qingguo, and the title allowed his hereditary replacement.
After Emperor Xi, Emperor Cheng, Emperor Guan, Emperor Yan, and Emperor Wen were all a generation of Ming masters, who opened the imperial examination to recruit talents, and visited the people to observe the people's situation in successive years.
Emperor Wen is the third tour of Yanbei, Mu Shi has served as the lord of Zhongxing diligent government and love the people, the next day of the dynasty gradually political clear, swept away the extravagant style of the emperor.
The Great Yi Empire gradually became stronger again.
The Mu royal family passed to the generation of Renzong Mu Zhihuan, which has been 665 years since the founding of the first emperor, and the year name is Tiande, and the mother is honored as the "Queen Mother".
Liu Zhiwu, the eldest daughter of the Nanhou of Dayi Town, entered the middle palace with the dignity of the crown princess.
The eldest princess Mu Qingyan from the queen was given the title "Hui'an", and the third daughter of the emperor, Mu Qingluo, was called "Huining".
The emperor and the prince of the mother's compatriots are titled "Nine Chapters", the two-character king number, the glory and favor are very great, and the prince of the nine chapters does not need to dismount when he enters the palace, and he does not understand the sword.
However, at this time, the Da Yi Shi clan divided the imperial power, and the left and right dynasties have been rooted for hundreds of years, and the harem is mostly the noble daughters of the family, and the former dynasty and Shi clan are each a faction, and they are distinct.
In the first year of Tiande, Emperor Guangchong harem, even the second daughter of the Qingguo Mansion, the daughter of the household Shangshu, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, the eldest daughter of Dali Temple Qing and other famous ladies entered the palace, and there were many women from all over the country.
At the end of the first year of Tiande, the fourth son of the emperor was born in the middle palace, and the emperor gave the name Mu Shanghuang, amnesty to the world, and the whole country celebrated.
There is good news from time to time in the harem of the second year of Tiande, the sixth son of the emperor, the seventh son of the emperor, and the eighth son of the emperor were born one after another, and the three concubines almost came with good news one after another, which led to a beautiful conversation, the emperor was happy, and the rewards continued.
In July of the second year of Tiande, the second prince of Concubine Jiang fell from a horse in the horse farm on the outskirts of Beijing and died.
The queen forcibly supported her sick body and knelt in the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor gave up.
In the third year of Tiande, Jing Guifei drowned, and the five daughters of the emperor were raised by Concubine Jiang.
In July of the sixth year of Tiande, Renzong Yuanhou Liu's Xu, nicknamed Yimin Shenghui, the emperor sealed the middle palace Ningyi Palace, and the eldest daughter and the third daughter of the emperor were raised by the concubine Fu.
At the end of the eighth year of Tiande, the princess of Jiuzhang gave birth to a daughter, and it was when the prince of Jiuzhang defeated the Turks in the battle of Chengyuan, and the emperor was overjoyed, and he was given the name Mu Chang'an, and the title was the same as "Chang'an", and he envied Jinghua.
In July of the thirteenth year of Tiande, the prince of Yingqu went to Shengjing to establish good relations between the two countries, and Renzong promised it to the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Hui'an.
In the fifteenth year of Tiande, Shen Xingzhi, the son of King An, wrote a "Subordinate Strategy" in Guozijian, who was only ten years old, and everyone was shocked.
Shi clan valves are to be virtuous, when he gets older, the elegance is more obvious, and the Shizi in Beijing is more faintly headed by it.
In the sixteenth year of Tiande, Ju Yi threatened to break through the next year with 300,000 iron horses, and the emperor ordered King Rong to lead the troops to the battle.
At the age of nine, Rong Shizi went into battle with his father, and he was a general, and Rong Shizi was tough with an iron fist, and he was famous for his soldiers like a god in the corner battle.
The official history of the empire contains: "In the sixteenth year of Tiande, Rong Shizi Yan, with his father to go to Ju 100 million, the Shizi's military strategy is strange and changeable, his own soldiers are silver armor horses, and the enemy army of Ju 100 million has changed when he hears it. ”
In just a year, Juyi offered the princess and cattle and sheep to make peace, and the emperor gave the fourth son of the princess Juyang, the first beauty of the Juyi clan, as the concubine.
The princess died violently on the third day of her arrival in Beijing, and there was an uproar.
The emperor was furious and ordered a detailed investigation.
At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Tiande, King Rong's father and son returned to the dynasty with a great victory, and the emperor's five daughters in front of the palace allowed the prince to be the son, and the prince refused, saying: The family and the country are restless, how to be a family, and it is passed on as a good story.
The storytellers in the market even added and changed this story, saying it as a small paragraph, one pass ten to one hundred, as for the truth or falsehood.
The people in the story don't care anymore.
At the end of the seventeenth year of Tiande, when he finally got tired of the Turks, a small army harassed the people in the frontier, and the emperor issued an order to conquer the Turks.
Prince Jiuzhang and King Rong led the army into two wings to besiege the Turks, and won a great victory, and the Turkic Khan killed himself, so far, the Turkic state was destroyed.
In the eighteenth year of Tiande, the Huns came to attack, and the momentum was violent, and the descendants of the royal palace and the family gate valve with different surnames at this time were repeatedly talented.
In the twilight of his life, the emperor's suspicions became heavier, and he no longer wanted to grant the kings military power, and the candidate for leading the troops was undecided.
In March, the fourth son of the emperor was on the table, willing to lead the troops to fight against the Huns, raise the prestige of the next year, Emperor Yue, and be named "General Funing".
led 300,000 troops to the expedition and ordered Prince Jiuzhang to supervise the army.
In July, Rou Yuyuan, the daughter of the military department, asked to see the emperor, threatening that the third daughter of the emperor had correspondence with the palace from time to time, and that she was not virtuous and virtuous, which damaged the royal face.
The emperor was furious, and immediately ordered the closure of the Luoshui Palace, only entering and not leaving, and sent his own soldiers Jin Wuwei to search the palace, which made it known inside and outside the palace.
The third daughter of the emperor has always been frail, and it is rumored that she fainted on the spot because of her anger.
Later, news came out in the palace that the letters from the third daughter of the emperor were all greetings with her brother.
In the imperial study, the kings were seated, and the emperor read the letters exchanged between his children for a long time, and sighed: "If Huining is a man, I am very lucky!" ”
At the beginning of the nineteenth year of Tiande, the emperor was getting old, and Concubine Jiang in the harem was dominant. The third daughter of the emperor was seriously ill, and the emperor decreed that capable people should be recruited, and those who could heal the princess would be crowned as a marquis.
The third daughter of the emperor went to the book.
"Father has mercy. However, now that the emperor's brother is on the expedition, he will recruit doctors, and the younger brother will hear about it, and he will be worried about his sons thousands of miles away. All my eldest boys are proud of treading rivers and mountains, chasing the enemy to protect the country, now the Huns are coming, as the princess, the sons are not worried, and how can they no longer work the father and the emperor, the emperor is worried, and pray for the father and the emperor to allow the sons to go to Yingshan to recuperate. ”
The emperor thought of the former queen, remorse, and mourned.
At the end of the nineteenth year of Tiande, the fourth son of the emperor won a great victory and returned to the dynasty, and the Xiongnu were unable to advance westward within 20 years, and the eastern border was initially determined.
The emperor ordered hundreds of officials to kneel at Tai'an Gate to welcome the "Funing General" back to the court, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the position of the crown prince had begun to emerge.
The fourth son of the emperor who returned to the dynasty after the great victory knelt outside the Jinluan Hall in a state of mourning, and asked the emperor to order the Rou Yuyuan He family to be sentenced to death by car splitting.
Teeyun.
In the same year, the emperor was seriously ill, summoned the left minister Xu Deyong, the right minister Su Fengqing, and the patriarch of the clan drafted an edict, and the edict set up Mu Shanghuang, the son of Empress Yimin Shenghui, as the crown prince.
Shen Xingzhi, the son of King An, knew that he was rarely talented, and Rong Jingqi, the son of King Rong, overthrew 100 million, destroyed the Turks, and sealed the general Fubo, and specially allowed the two of them to participate in politics in the court.
And another holy decree was issued, ordering the kings to return to Beijing.
At this point, the century-old rule that the prince with a different surname could not go to the court to discuss politics was broken, and Renzong was extremely jealous of the royal family since he ascended the throne, but the will of his death was incomprehensible.
At the beginning of the twentieth year of Tiande, the emperor died, and his nickname was Zhaolie Mingwu.
Renzong's life, since he ascended the throne, he has been diligent in state affairs, pro-virtuous ministers and far villains, good at accepting advice, sparse and sensitive, although he is gentle in his twilight years, but he has acted all his life, and can be called a generation of Ming Jun.
In August of the twentieth year of Tiande, due to the heavy state affairs, the crown prince Mu Shanghuang should be played by the ministers.
Ascend the Chaoyang Palace to look at the court, accept the worship of hundreds of officials, announce to the world, succeed the Son of Heaven, call the Holy Emperor, and change the Yuan Ruihe.

The former crown princess Zhou gave the imperial concubine position, and the rest of the prince's mansion were canonized and placed by the queen mother of the two palaces.
The sixth brother Mu Shangjin gave the throne of Prince Ke, the seventh brother Mu Shanghan gave the throne of Prince Kang, and the eighth brother Mu Shanglin gave the throne of Prince Jing.
The fifth emperor's sister, Mu Shilan, sealed Princess Weizhang, and descended to Bai Zhanyang, the prince of Jiangyang Houfu.
It is specially allowed that King Jing's biological mother, the concubine, can live in King Jing's Mansion with her son.
Named the eldest princess of the three princesses, she was given the name "Rongchen", and was known as "Rongchen eldest princess" in history.
Giving the title of princess of the princess of Chang'an County, the prince of Jiuzhang retreated and did not dare to obey the edict, and knelt outside the palace.
The emperor sighed, reissued the decree, gave the county lordship, and followed the princess's example.
In February of the first year of Ruihe, due to the new emperor's accession to the throne, the foundation was not stable, the court was initially decided, and the dynasty and the Shi clan divided the imperial power.
There are few talents used by the emperor, and the edict is issued to recruit and select talents, and the imperial examination system is prosperous, so as to select a large number of talented people from poor families to enter the court as officials.
In March, the emperor welcomed Xu Yizi, the only daughter of the left minister, into the palace, sealed the queen, entered the gold book, gave the phoenix order, and gave the special name "Wending", the mother of the world.
In April, the emperor wantonly promoted the children of the Han family to the six departments, and the wings of the major clans rooted in the six departments for a hundred years gradually faded.
In June, the emperor's ministers admonished, issued an edict for drafting, and filled the harem.
In September, the queen's phoenix body violated the harmony, and the emperor and the imperial concubine assisted the six palaces.
In October, the beauty of Changkang Palace, Wen, gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins.
The Holy Emperor gave the eldest princess the name Mu Xuancan during the Ruihe period, and the second prince gave the name Mu Xuanche.
Wen was already ill and weak, but after giving birth to the prince and princess, his health became weaker and weaker, and he finally died of illness a month later.
The emperor posthumously crowned Qidun and the imperial concubine, and handed over the eldest princess and the second prince to the imperial concubine to raise.
In December, Nanjiang united with the Western Regions, but Dayi was caught off guard and was captured by the South-West Coalition Army.
Prince Jiuzhang, who was returning to Nancheng with his wife to recuperate, heard the news that the situation was urgent, and after sending a letter to the capital, he led 3,000 soldiers to block tens of thousands of troops outside the city gate for 13 days.
The old, young, women and children in the city spontaneously worked to protect their families and defend the country.
On the fourteenth day, the city was broken, the prince of Jiuzhang was martyred, and the princess of Jiuzhang heard the bad news and hanged herself in the palace of the prince of Jiuzhang in the southern city.
After the southern barbarian army entered the city, they burned and looted in the city, and that day was a nightmare for all the people who returned to the south.
At night, the Silver Armor rode in.
