Wang Mingzhi happened to rush to Jiankang on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and entered the city from Beizhi Gate at the time. Set up the friends who guarded him, and walked to the imperial city alone.

Although the sky is not beautiful this year, and the dark clouds obscure the full moon, it is still difficult to stop the carnival of the people of Jiankang for the festival.

The Lantern Festival on August 15 is one of the Taoist three-yuan festivals, which began in the Han Dynasty and gradually faded the color of religious sacrifices in the Great Xia, and became a festival for the public carnival. In recent years, under the collation of Su Zong and ordinary capable ministers, the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River have been smooth and the people have become rich. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiankang City for three nights in Jinwu can't help it, the imperial city is wide open, and the royal garden of Xuanwu Lake is allowed to swim with the people. Mid-Autumn Festival lantern appreciation is the old custom, every Mid-Autumn Festival night, in the palace and Jiankang Mansion set up lanterns, when the people of Jiankang go out to watch the lanterns, large households, everyone in front of the house to hang out a row of lanterns, competing for beauty. Even if it is a poor family, it is inevitable to hang out one or two lamps. Hundreds of thousands, millions of lanterns bloomed overnight, making the city of Jiankang in Great Xia brilliant and splendid.

On this day of celebration in the south of the Yangtze River, the people of Jiankang are of course going out with their families, gathering friends to sing and travel, filling the streets, beating drums and making noise, and burning torches to the ground.

It was still dark and naughty children had already prepared all kinds of lanterns and cheered in the streets and alleys. Occasionally, a child with a pouting butt quietly lights a firecracker, decorating the festival at the same time, attracting the little friends to scream loudly, making the market more innocent and noisy.

As soon as it was dark, after dinner, the people who had been waiting for a long time came out with their families. Since the first light was lit, it was only half a pillar of incense, and the whole city was full of lights, illuminating the entire Jiankang sky, and the streets were full of people. It's really angry and sweaty.

Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind. More blown down, the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

With the front of the imperial city which is covered with splendor, gold and jade, hanging ten thousand lights, ten zhang high, the lamp wheel from the bottom to the last time, and to the highest place of the huge gold Wanfu longevity lamp at first glance, a sound boom of hundreds of miles of cheers sounded, Lin'an Mid-Autumn Festival carnival officially kicked off.

But this kind of excitement is so inappropriate for Wang Mingzhi, and it is so ironic to come to heaven from hell on earth in Jiangbei. All the way, all the way, all the way. Jiangnan has been peaceful for a hundred years, and the people of Jiangnan have long forgotten that there are still compatriots in Jiangbei struggling in hell. I have long forgotten the heroic souls lying under the nine springs on the front line of Xiangfan, Zhennan City, and Huaisi. I have long forgotten that a month and a half ago, the three thousand tigers of the Gan family buried their bones for this pure land.

This is the prosperous age of the public propaganda of the famous red and purple princes? Wang Ming sighed! How long can such a mirage floating on quicksand last? Wang Mingzhi doesn't know!

The crowd was crowded, Wang Ming got off his horse and walked all the way to the palace by Xuanwu Lake.

I don't know how long it took, Xuanwu Lake came to the bottom of the dance viewing building in front of the imperial city, and looked up, an old man dressed in Confucian clothes and medium stature appeared in the dance viewing building.

Because of the distance and looking up from below, Wang Mingzhi couldn't see this person's face clearly, but just looking at his silent attitude and the eunuch who followed, Wang Mingzhi judged that he was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

This medium-sized man must be in a bad mood today, and after standing on the railing for a while, he turned around and waved his hand slightly to signal everyone to flatten, and then many people stepped forward to salute, and after half a pillar of incense, he sat down on the long couch in the middle of the stage under the ring of two women in high hair.

Wang Mingzhi's eyes were like slides, constantly alternating between the people changing their children and eating and the noisy carnival in front of him, and he didn't know which was the real world for a while. The torment and pain in my heart are so difficult to calm. Looking at the imperial relatives and Manchu ministers surrounding the official family on the city tower, they all showed happy and satisfied smiles. looked at the flattering faces of the ministers surrounding Jia Ru, reflecting Prime Minister Jia's pretended deep face. Wang Mingzhi suddenly felt that he was the superfluous one in this world, and staggered into the distance, getting farther and farther away from the city tower, thinking about escaping from this world quickly. The heart seems to be dying!

Before I knew it, I came to a deserted street, and the noise and laughter in the distance came to my ears. Came to a tall gate, looked up, there were white flags hanging on both sides of the gate, and the four gilded characters of "Champion Houfu" on the closed gate were like themselves in the dark night. It took a while for my thinking to slowly reply, I don't know who is waiting for someone in my family to pass away, and I have been in Jiangbei for a few months, and the news is blocked. Could it be that the old lady is gone? I was far away in Bashu in the same year, and I will come to send incense to the old lady tomorrow no matter what.

On the morning of the second day, Wang Mingzhicai knew from his family that some major events happened in the imperial court after he left, on July 15, Bashu sent an urgent report of 800 miles, Gan Feng broke the Yan army in Zhennan Guancheng, killed the Yan Khan Helian Kuo, and the Yan army was defeated and retreated 500 miles.

The army of Yan on the Xiangfan front line and the Huaisi front line retreated north one after another, and the dark clouds hanging over the head of Daxia receded. The Great Xia champion Hou and the head of the Sichuan soldiers and horses, Gan Feng, did not fight in this battle. The 3,000 Ganjia Tigers were all wiped out, and none of them survived.

On July 15, the old lady of the Gan family learned that Gan Feng was killed, and urgently ordered her granddaughter-in-law to take her little grandson back to guard filial piety for her father.

Mrs. Gong didn't finish listening, under the double blow of her grandson being killed in battle and her great-grandson being robbed, she fainted at that time, and on the night of July 16, the old lady of the Gan family died of Gong.

On July 17, Emperor Suzong of Great Xia issued an edict posthumously crowning Gan Feng as the king of Yu, and the whole territory of the Great Song Dynasty mourned for Gan Feng for three days.

On July 24, the son of King Yu Ganfeng had been found and was rushing to Jiankang for funeral. It is estimated that there will be more than a month to rush back, the Gan family's champion Hou Mansion, the door is closed, no guests are seen, everything will wait for Gan Tang to come back and then open the door to hold a funeral for the old lady and his father.

Wang Mingzhi was shocked by this series of news, and knew that the official family of the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday was not the right time to see the driver, so he ordered his family to prepare horses and rush to the Qimen Houfu, and handed over a post to meet the Qimen Hou Ganguan to learn all the news of the imperial court and the Gan family.

Two days later, Wang Ming wrote to the saint, but Emperor Suzong of Great Xia suffered a cold during the Mid-Autumn Festival carnival and could not be governed. Considering that what she has done is very great, Queen Xie Daoqing will definitely not be able to call the shots. He couldn't reveal the matter, and secretly grafted it, so that Jia Ru and others, who might be opposed, were prepared, so they had to wait slowly for the official's illness to recover.

On September 9 of another year, on the occasion of the first anniversary of Jia Ru, the prime minister of the left prime minister of Great Xia, Gan Tang was escorted by Mingjiao Zheng Mengyun, Danba, Deng Yu and others, and finally returned to Jiankang, the capital of Great Xia, after several months of trekking.

The death of the Gan family was due to the fact that Gan Tang's grandfather, the secretary of the Great Xia Ministry of Shangshu Gan Fu was bedridden and could not be a director, and was co-chaired by Gan Jing, Qimen Hou Gan Kun, and Gan Shen, more than 200 people in 13 rooms of the five generations of the Gan family, and two people after Gan Yun in the big house, Gan Fu and Gan Shen. The three people after Ganlei in the second room, Gan Jing and Gan Wei (deceased) Gan Guan. After the three-room Gan earthquake, four people Gan Ji (deceased) Gan Chen, Gan Ke, and Gan Xuan. After the four-room Ganlin, the four people are Ganju, Ganfan, Ganhe, and Gankun. and its fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh generations, more than 200 people, all went to the Champion Hou Mansion to attend the funeral.

Things are hectic and messy. Accompanying guests, reception, inviting Qin Tianjian Yin and Yang Division to choose a day, etc. Can't use Gantang, as the only filial son, Gantang is just with Gan Bo and other five or six four or five generations in the mortuary room to kneel and worship the guests on the incense ground.

The door of Gan's family was wide open to accept the old worship of relatives and friends, but only the mother and daughter were left in the long house of the huge champion Hou Mansion. Gan Tang's second grandfather, Gan Shen, recuperated in the old house in Yunnan all the year round, and this time he came to Jiankang thousands of miles away, because of his poor health, he just hung the title of the principal. The affairs of the house are presided over by the second room Gan Jing and the fourth room Gan Kun, and the other rooms are responsible for receiving guests. Other miscellaneous matters are the responsibility of the fourth, fifth, and sixth generations of the eldest children. Beginning on September 9, the generals and nobles, ministers of civil and military affairs, relatives and friends who came to pay their respects were endless.

The funeral was carried out by the 7749 Tibetan lamas who came with Gantang to the east. Meditate before the spirit and receive the mantras.

Beginning on the morning of May 7, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Jueshan, personally opened a prison for the old Taijun and Gan Fu, passed the lamp to shine on the dead, participated in Yan Jun, detained the ghosts, feasted the king of Jizo, opened the golden bridge, and led the banner.

The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect supported the Zhangshen table, worshiped the three Qing immortals, and bowed to the Jade Emperor. Make incense and set off fireworks to light the way.

On that day, the queen agreed with the holy decree and came to worship in person. And give Gan Feng to accompany the royal tomb of the Great Song Dynasty. After the funeral of the holy decree and other funerals, Xuan Gantang entered the palace to see the shelf.

At the auspicious time, the two big funerals of the Gan family first went to the Hangzhou family cemetery of the Gan family to bury the old lady Gong, and then went to the Yongsi Mausoleum in Huiji County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Lin'an.

Along the way, the people of Jiankang and Hangzhou have worshiped on both sides of the road, so friends, relatives and friends set up sacrificial tents on the way to receive sacrifices, and they thanked them one by one.

The famous generals of the Great Xia generation withered.

Jiankang is still the autumn warmth is not finished, but the grassland is the weeds have declined, revealing the color of withered yellow, the air is slightly cold, but it is the degree of invigoration, after the end of autumn, it is the long bitter cold season in the north of the grassland, the wind and snow are full of sky, swept around, such as the battle, the soldiers are iron-clad frost, eat ice and lie in the snow, for most of the Han people in the south, it is the most cool thing.

Helian rode on his horse from mountain to mountain, looking contentedly at the late autumn scene of the unspoiled medieval steppe in front of him, and kept thinking in his heart that after the death of his eldest brother Helian Khan, he met with the elders of the major tribes such as Nestorian of the Prime Minister Kereb and other major tribes to obtain their support.

The two elder brothers who can compete with themselves for the Khan throne are now far away from Kuriltai, the third brother Helian Lianhai is far away in Persia, and he has been called Khan in Persia since six years ago, and it is impossible to compete for the Khan position with himself when he returns to Kuriltai, the only threat to himself is the second brother Helian Muye, but Helian Muye is no longer a good choice for the tribes on the steppe in the eyes of the major tribes, Helian Muye reuses Hanchen, learns Chinese, writes Chinese characters and respects Confucianism. In his eyes, those Han people should be two-legged sheep for the enslavement of various tribes in the grassland, doesn't he want to think about how many eagles on the grassland have become weaker and weaker under the infiltration of the Han people for thousands of years, and have lost the nature of the steppe wolf. Not to mention Fu Jian of Daqin, what is the end now? This is exactly what has made him the ruler of this thousands of miles.

Taking advantage of the fact that Helian Muye had not returned from the southern expedition, he had agreed with the elders of various tribes to convene a Kuriltai conference in Hari and Lin, the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, three days later, to elect the Great Khan of the Yan State and act before Helian Muye returned. If he can do so, he will move the capital back to the grassland. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the steppe army from all walks of life was gathered and camped in the capital city of Hala and Lin. In case something happens.

At this time, Helian Muye's army attacking Huaisi had just retreated to Henan, and Helian Muye knew that if he went to Hala and Lin to participate in the election meeting of Kuriltai, he would not be Helian's opponent in chasing mountains. But he knew that strength could decide everything, and along the way, he kept in contact with Murong Xuzhong, the commander of Xiangfan's army, and Ta Cha, the coach of Bashu, and sought the support of the two armies.

After continuous communication and promises, the Three Route Army finally allied in early October to the capital of Dolunor, and joined forces to establish a large camp.

Two days later, after the grassland reported that Helian Zhushan was called Khan in the old capital, Helian Muye urgently discussed with all the generals of the Sanlu Army, and the Sanlu Army unanimously denied the legitimacy of Helian Zhushan to call Khan, and supported Helian Muye as the Khan of the Great Yan Kingdom, when Helian Muye was forty-four years old.

For the next three years, Helian Muye and Helian fought a three-year-long civil war in the steppe for the throne of Khan. In order to resist the powerful offensive of Helian Zhushan, Helian Zhushan continued to transfer troops from the northwest, causing the Yan army to withdraw from the occupied European territories one after another, so that the Europeans were freed from the darkest period of the Middle Ages, thus ending the century-old rule of the Oriental steppe.
