Ten years ago, the Great Xia Kingdom had not yet unified the Central Plains, and at that time, Xia Zhenli only wanted to unify the Central Plains and let the countries of the Western Regions become vassals. And his brother Xia Zhenwu held a grudge because he was demoted to the Western Regions, and wanted to make a comeback and regain the throne, so Xia Zhenwu colluded with the countries of the Western Regions to establish his own power in the frontier, and Xiaowan was also among them.

Xia Zhenli continued to expand his power in the Central Plains, and almost unified the Central Plains, and at this time, Xia Zhenwu established himself as king in the frontier and constantly created turmoil. While fighting in the Central Plains, Xia Zhenli formulated a plan to quell the turmoil. A year later, he unified the Central Plains and began to fully pacify the frontiers.

In order to completely eliminate the reactionary forces, Xia Zhenli personally led an army of 200,000 to attack the Western Regions. Although Xia Zhenwu only has an army of 150,000 troops, because he is in the Western Regions all the year round, his kung fu is much stronger than that of the soldiers in the Central Plains, and it can be said that they are all elite soldiers. Therefore, in order to eliminate them in one fell swoop, Xia Zhenli secretly united with the Tibetan State, both inside and outside. For this battle, he prepared for a full year. On that day eight years ago, Xia Zhenwu was celebrating the full moon for his son Xia Hongyu, Xia Zhenli launched an attack, Xia Zhenwu is also a general, in the face of the sudden army, he arranged the troops in a chaotic manner, and stubbornly withstood Xia Zhenli's crazy attack.

The war lasted for more than three months, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, at this time, Xia Zhenli secretly sent someone to tell the king of Tubo to launch a surprise attack from the rear during the next attack and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Three days later, the final war began, and at this time there were less than 80,000 soldiers and horses left on both sides, but Xia Zhenli was not in the slightest confusion, because he was confident about this war.

Seven days after the last battle, suddenly the Tubo State led 50,000 elite soldiers to rush into Xia Zhenwu's army, and this time, no matter how good his ability to lead the troops was, he could not save the defeat. In the end, Xia Zhenwu was captured, and other small countries were almost wiped out. In order to reward Tubo for his merits, Xia Zhenli pushed Tubo to the position of overlord of the Western Regions, and Xia Zhenwu was secretly executed on the way to exile. The one guarding the frontier was arranged to be one of Xia Zhenli's cronies, General Wang Ming.

Of course, it is impossible for the Western Regions to let Tubo dominate alone, In order to restrain Tubo, Xia Zhenli found Wanguo. Wan suffered heavy losses in this war, and if it weren't for the fact that there were still some guards guarding Kyoto, it was estimated that the country would have been destroyed. The reason why Xia Zhenli found Shangwan is that its geographical location is superior, located in the center of the countries of the Western Regions, as long as there is Xiaowan, it can restrain other countries to a certain extent, and Xia Zhenli also put forward the condition, as long as Xiaowan sends their princess to the Central Plains and relatives when she becomes an adult, it can ensure that it will be stable forever. Xiao Wanguo couldn't refuse, so for the country to continue to pass on, he could only agree to this condition. Xia Zhenli told King Xiao Wan that whenever his daughter, the princess of Wanguo, arrived on the day of Jilu, the prince of Xia would greet him with a congratulatory gift. It's just that the youngest daughter of King Xiaowan will be welcomed into the palace of the Xia Kingdom after the day of the day, and she will have a thorough understanding of the Central Plains. At that time, Fu Qingdu, the king of Xiaowan, already had five princes and seven princesses under his knees. In order to have a better countermeasure to deal with this situation, King Xiao Wan decided that as long as he gave birth to a princess in the future, he would devote himself to cultivating her and become the best spy of Wanguo, so as to fight for a chance of survival for Wanguo between the power struggles in this country.

It is said that Xia Zhenwu was demoted to a concubine. Most of his sons died young, and only the youngest son, Xia Hongyu, was brought into the palace.

"Fourth brother, I will take this child back, you don't have to worry, I will not treat him badly. As long as the fourth brother can be an ordinary person and no longer interfere in the court, Yu'er will naturally be fine," Xia Zhenli looked at his fourth brother quietly, and his deep eyes seemed to have no end in sight. He stood in a dark robe with his hands covered, dark red dragon patterns crawling all over his chest, as if he had come to life in this night, and the gilded sleeves reflected him more and more heroic.

Is this the posture of a winner? Xia Zhenwu secretly thought in his heart that if it was him who won, would he let go of his youngest brother. Yu'er is about to be taken away, and he won't call Daddy yet. Maybe being brought into the palace is the best result, he will eventually lose the world. There's nothing left to be attached to. "If you become a king or lose, if you lose, you lose. I will spend the rest of my life in peace, this is this Yu'er, how do you explain it when you bring it back, those ministers in the court, they don't want to keep him. "Those old stubborns, how can they be willing to keep the remnants of the chaotic party, child, your future road will definitely not be easy. It's just that the Father can't be with you anymore. Although Xia Zhenwu thought so, he didn't say it in the end.

"I will tell the world that this is my prince, and you, the people of the world will only know that you have failed and ended yourself." Xia Zhenli's voice was very soft, and the cool breeze blew the last word away in the night. But to Xia Zhenwu's ears, these words seemed to give him hope. If so, then the child may be able to grow up safely.

Xia Zhenwu is different from Xia Zhenli, he is a general galloping on the frontier, he has his own dignity, he admits defeat when he loses, and there is no extra choice. It's just that this strong-blooded man is very strong, he didn't expect to be able to live in failure, but he didn't expect that his fourth brother would forgive him.

"I will guard the Western Regions and not take a step out of this city. Since then, there is no such person as Xia Zhenwu in this world, "Xia Zhenwu seemed to have made a great determination, and his expression was solemn. Perhaps, he will live his last life incognito like this.

Xia Zhenli, the old fox, naturally didn't know what his brother thought, but he was smarter than Xia Zhenwu by nature, and he had been in officialdom for a long time, and he knew how to buy people's hearts. If it is really a rush to kill everything, not to mention whether the defeated remnants of the defeated army that were scattered will gather and make a comeback again, it is said that his brother may fight hard and attack the cauldron and the boat, and the result may not be the current situation. Now he is not only giving his brother a reassurance, but also leaving a way out for both parties. Since then, there has not only been one less mortal enemy, but also one more cronie. The war should be over after so long, and the rest will be handed over to General Wang Ming.

The infant child brought back from the battlefield by the Great Xia Emperor naturally became the focus of everyone's eyes. I heard that after the emperor came back, he immediately ordered Gonggong Wu, who was on an errand next to him, to find a nurse. It is even said that this is his fifth prince. The concubines in the harem were even more panicked, His Majesty the Emperor brought back the child, wouldn't there be another sister of unknown origin competing for favor, and now the harem is chaotic. The queen mother was upset by her sisters, and she couldn't sit still at the moment. She took the delicate pastries from the Imperial Building, and planned to go to the emperor's bedroom to say goodbye.

Gonggong Wu is about to explode at this moment. Since the emperor returned to the palace with the child, the mothers of each palace have sent little palace maids to inquire about the situation, and this time or twice is enough, but someone comes to ask every once in a while, and his old bones can't stand the toss. No, even the queen mother was alarmed, seeing this menacing appearance, Gonggong Wu had to stop him no matter how scared he was, His Majesty the emperor hadn't woken up from a nap, how dare he let the mother go in and disturb him, if this master was angry, it would be a matter of losing his head.

Gonggong Wu greeted him with a shy old face. smiled and said: "Queen Mother, what kind of wind is blowing you here, you don't stop at noon, if the heat is broken, the old slave can't afford it." ”

"Grandpa Wu, aren't you asking knowingly, I'm afraid you know exactly what I'm doing here. Get out of the way, I want to meet the emperor. When the queen saw that someone was stopping, she was even more angry, and her tone was a little unkind.

Gonggong Wu saw that the queen was a little angry, so he could only persuade him with good words, "This emperor just returned to the palace yesterday, and he hasn't gotten up yet." You see if you go back to rest first, as long as the emperor wakes up, the old slave will send someone to invite the mother, the old slave really can't let the mother in. ”

"Gonggong Wu, you get out of the way, I'm going to go in now." The queen couldn't take care of so much at the moment, so she broke in with someone.

Looking at Xia Zhenli, who was sleeping soundly in the palace, the queen was angry. She had missed him for so long, and she was worried about him, but now he slept in the dark, and did not feel her presence at all.

"-Xia Qi, you get up for me-"

A long howl that pierced the sky woke Xia Zhenli from his sleep, and he trembled with fright. He dreamed that his queen was chasing him all over the palace and said he wanted an explanation. But fortunately, it was a dream, and I finally woke up from a dream. It was a really comfortable night's sleep. He turned around and tried to go back to sleep, but he saw a pair of cloudy peach blossom eyes, and his queen stared at him straight like that.

"Ling, Ling, Lingshuang, why are you here." Xia Zhenli said tremblingly

"Can't I come over. Look at the good things you've done. You say, I just have to marry you and be the queen. You changed this problem, and as a result, there were more concubines than one. said that as long as the famous lady is beautiful, now, he will also bring back a wild species of unknown origin. Why, it's itchy skin, isn't it? You are the emperor, I can not interfere with the concubine. But I have to have an explanation for this child, and I will never let that woman into the palace. ”

Xia Zhenli finally understood what was wrong with him, the queen of his childhood sweetheart, and thinking that she was jealous of herself, his heart was happy. You are not jealous of this. "Xia Zhenli is dead

"Do you want the old lady to eat flower wine?" said the queen viciously.

Xia Zhenli was instigated, although he accepted so many concubines, it was nothing more than because the queen had nothing to show now, and for the sake of the emperor's heir, he accepted a few concubines. His love for her queen was really deep. Seeing the threat of this queen, he didn't just coax it.

"No, no, no, Ling Shuang, listen to me......"

At night, the Lingxiao Hall is brightly lit.

The queen sat solemnly, playing with the wine glass in one hand, and her eyes were full of spring. She said vaguely, "So, that's your fourth brother's child, Xia Xiaoqi, let me tell you, if you dare to lie to me, I will ...... you."

Xia Zhenli looked at her, his eyes were clear. He jokingly asked her, "Frost, this is a royal secret." However, you said what you want me to do, but my husband didn't hear me clearly, can you say it again? ”

The queen was already drunk at the moment, but she still held on and didn't want to lie down.

"I said I'd eat you," and, with that, the queen slept quietly on the edge of the table.

"Is that so, Shuang'er, you can't sleep, I've wanted to be eaten by you for a long time" Xia Zhenli said to himself, but his hands did not relax. He picked up the queen and walked to the bed. The light gauze is soft, and the smell of wine exudes a deadly taste, tempting this man, and the bed is full of beautiful spring.
