In November of the fourth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Great Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo.

Winter solstice, "Yin and yang are delivered, all things are silent, and life is confined." ”

There is a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as a year", and the shortest day of the year is "a gentleman needs to be quiet, a hundred officials must never do anything, do not listen to politics, choose auspicious days and then save trouble." "The court is closed, the business travel is closed, the city of Tokyo, which used to be bustling and noisy and singing all night, is also quiet on this day, whether it is the princes and nobles, dignitaries, or the small people in the market, they all go home early to burn incense and paper, sacrifice to the ancestors, and then eat a bowl of hot horn with their families.

...

...

At the second moment of the first day of the child's month, other people's homes had already turned off the lights and were sleepy, but the palace of Wugong County on Chaoxi Street was still brightly lit, and there were faint voices coming out.

There was a woman lying on the main floor of the house, this woman's muscles and bones were smooth, pink and red lips, and she was beautiful, but at this time, her willow eyebrows were frowned, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, she leaned on the rolled up brocade, and kept crying out in pain: "Hiss。。。。。。 Yes...... ”。

Before the collapse, an old woman said: "Madame hold her breath, it's fine, it's fine." While reaching out to support another small head slowly sliding out of the woman's abdomen, in the swaddling tail, a newborn baby was crying continuously.

There were three people standing in front of the hall outside the house, looking at the closed door, and although all three of them were anxious in their hearts, they had different expressions. The man in the center listened to the screams of pain coming from inside the room, his face was calm, but his clenched hands revealed the uneasiness in his heart. The old man on the left has his eyes slightly closed, as if he is thinking about something. The old man on the right, who was of a similar grade, sighed incessantly.

Suddenly, the door opened from the inside, and a maid rushed out and shouted, "Master, come out." ”

The man in the center and the old man on the right hurriedly walked towards the house, and the man asked as he walked, "What about Madame, is Madame sick?" ”

The maid hurriedly replied, "Madame almost fainted from pain just now, and she is feeling better now." ”

When the man walked to the front of the collapse, he saw that his wife was pale with her eyes closed, but fortunately, his breathing gradually stabilized, and he dropped his hanging heart. Turning his head to look at the collapsed tail, two fresh little lives were sleeping soundly in the bulging swaddling clothes. Take a closer look at the two children, although they are twins born in one child, they don't look very similar, the baby on the left has a round head and a round brain, bulging cheeks, and pink skin, while the one on the right looks a little black and thin.

Looking at the two flesh and blood who had just come to this world, the man was both happy but couldn't help but look sad. Reaching out and gently holding the swaddling clothes into his arms, the two children first opened their mouths uneasily and said a few times, and then fell asleep again, and the unfazed appearance amused the man and made his heart completely relieved. Looking up, he saw that Wen Po was still beside him, looking at him with a flattering smile, waiting for a reward. When the old man who followed the man into the house saw this, he called out to the arch. ”

Outside the house, a sturdy man suddenly appeared in the dark shadows under the locust tree, walked into the house quickly, looked at the old man's gestured eyes, and said to Wen Po, "Mama, I'll take you to receive the reward, go this way"

"Alright, alright."

Wen Po rubbed her hands excitedly, and hurriedly followed Xiang Gong to the outside of the house, congratulating the man as she walked, "Congratulations, master." Congratulations, sir."

The man bowed slightly, responded to the salute, and looked at Wen Po with some pity in his eyes. Then he walked to the collapse with the child in his arms and woke up the woman.

"Yuan'er, I've suffered you, and in the future, this family will have to rely on you alone. I have already thought of the child's name, and the boy will be called Zhengge'er. The girl is called Sister Jin. The man said softly, with an indescribable tenderness on his slightly sad face.

"Zhaolang, how can you bear to leave me alone in this world, how can I live in the future." The woman sobbed.

"The third uncle has always been very suspicious of me, and if he said something like that in the palace today, he will not keep me, in order to save your life and the child's life, I can only do so." The man's eyes, which should have been warm and affectionate, were filled with misery at the moment.

"Cuiwei, bring another pair of futons." The man commanded.

"Yes, sir."

The man put the baby boy into the futon handed by the maid Cuiwei, and the woman looked at the baby in a daze, raised her hand and gently stroked the baby's pink cheeks, "My poor son", tears couldn't help but fall.

The man was ruthless, picked up the child, and handed it to the old man standing outside the door.

"Pugong, please"

"Alas, if you do your best, you will not be dishonored."

The man gave the old man a deep salute.

After returning the salute, he said to the old man in the house who was looking at the woman with concern before the collapse: "Wang Weng, let's go, I'm afraid there will be changes when it's too late."

The old man, known as Wang Weng, glanced at his haggard daughter in distress, and then looked at the man with a resolute face, and couldn't help but sigh again, so he quietly walked away from the side door of the courtyard with the child in his arms.

The man returned to the collapse and stroked the woman's hair.

"Yuan'er, it is my blessing to have a husband and wife with you. I'm going to go," he stood up, looked deeply at his wife and daughter, and resolutely turned around and walked out of the house. I heard a choking sound outside the house, as if someone had drawn his sword out of its sheath, and then there was a whining, and then he fell to the ground.

"Akiro .......Akiro ......." the woman cried out like a cuckoo weeping blood, and raised her hand to the door, as if to hold the man's ghost, and could not bear to let him go away from her. The woman's mournful cry was louder and louder, and she didn't care about her weakened body, which had just given birth, and suddenly she screamed, and her raised hand fell to the side, and her breath gradually disappeared.

"Madame, Madam" Cui Wei rushed forward, constantly shaking Madame's body, but to no avail.

The little girl who was woken up by the cry was crying loudly.

Cuiwei felt that his wife's body was gradually getting colder, gritted her teeth and stood up, cleaned up the house a little, picked up the child and walked into the hospital, looking at the body of the old man lying on the ground, she was even more heartbroken. He staggered open the courtyard door and said to the anxious and restless people outside, "Master, it's gone, madam, and I went with the master."

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then they rushed in. In the chaos, no one noticed that Xu You, the steward who was running at the front, disappeared after turning around in the courtyard room.

...

...

In front of the Great Inner Xihua Gate, in addition to a few Imperial City guards guarding the palace gate, there was also an old man standing with a white face and beard, dressed in a purple robe, wearing a hood, looking at the street, as if waiting for something. Suddenly, a person sprang out from the opposite corner, and ran quickly towards the palace gate with his body bent. The guards on the left and right were about to take down this person, but the old man in the purple robe stretched out his hand to stop him after seeing this person's face clearly through the dim light.

The man hurriedly ran to the front, bowed to the old man, and handed a note to the old man. The old man opened the note and hurriedly read it, a sneer on the corner of his mouth. And he commanded the man:

"Go back and keep watching, and after the market opens tomorrow, go to the Zhongshan Zhengdian on the south side of Cross Street to find Wang Wenshou to get a reward."

"Oh, thank you nobleman, the villain will be staring at it with all his heart." With that, the man turned and quietly left.

The purple-robed old man ordered the guards to open the palace gate, cross the east and west streets, and come to the front of the Funing Palace, where the lights in the hall had not been extinguished. stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and the purple-robed old man said:

"Your Majesty, the king of Wugong County has killed himself at three o'clock in the child's time, and Mrs. Han was too sad, and after giving birth to a daughter, she also went with the king of the county."

The rustling sound of the pen in the hall stopped, and it was quiet for about a snap of a finger before a voice came out:

"Got it, go down."

"Whoa."

...

...

Baocisi Street, Qi State Mansion.

In the study room of the inner house, two old men looked at the baby boy sleeping sweetly on the table, and had mixed feelings.

"Wang Weng, I have thought about it again and again, but I am afraid that this matter is still not appropriate."

"At this time, the mind is disordered, unable to operate, the common man has always been in danger and resourceful and decisive, since this is said, there must be a plan, please talk about it."

"Wang Weng praised falsely, a certain thanks to the first emperor's kindness, he should be the first emperor's bones, blood, liver and brain. He also asked Wang Weng to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office tomorrow to ask Dr. Ge to quietly enter the mansion to discuss, and ordered someone to rush to Xingyuan Mansion to ask that person to send a loyal and reliable person into Beijing. ”

"Listen to Your Commands"

If you look down from the sky, the dark and oppressive castle under the cover of night is a little eerie, and the strict Miyagi in the middle of the city is like the fierce mouth of the Hongmeng giant beast, as if it wants to choose someone to devour at any time.
