The Lord Father died. Died before the last dead leaf fell from that tree in the courtyard.

This figure, who once had power in the history books and made the princes of the world frightened, because of Yuan Zhao's participation, was not able to fly the dragon in the sky. There are many times when Yuan Zhao looks at everyone who has been changed by his own life trajectory, towards a completely different ending, and he feels strange.

Perhaps these dead people don't know what they have been quietly changed. The arrangement of fate is so wonderful, every fork in the road of life represents a world of different futures, a thought, a step to the end of the world, reincarnation, difficult to copy.

In the end, the master father regretted it. Bathed in the glow rising in the east, his eyes glowed with a long-lost look, and he asked Yuan Zhao a question that he had been wondering about for a long time in his heart.

"Once upon a time...... I have heard many strange things in your words, those glorious and prosperous scenes, is it really the height that can be reached in the world? ”

There was no one else in the quiet room, and in the face of his last longing gaze, Yuan Zhao nodded slightly. Once acquainted, after heaven and man are separated forever, there is no afterlife! He could not bear to be deceived, so he took the wizened hand and whispered some secrets that would have been terrifying if others heard them.

"Original...... That original legend is true...... You're not a mortal like me...... Hehe! ”

The last smile condensed on his face, and the master father who had completely let go of his worries passed away peacefully. After a long time, Yuan Zhao gently closed his eyes with his hand, and great sadness welled up in his heart. Empress Dowager Dou, Dou Ying, Ji Di, Zheng Shishi, Yao Shang, Ji Xin...... Lord Father! When he finally grew into an eagle fighting in the sky, these people who had sheltered him from the wind and rain finally gradually left and never returned.

In the late autumn and early winter seasons, the Chang'an City in the east direction is full of glow, and the atmosphere is steaming. The water of Jingwei flows endlessly. The Zhongnan Mountain in the south is magnificent and far-reaching, the wind runs through the forest, and the sound of dragons and tigers roaring is endless. Yuan Zhao stood on a high place with his hands in his hands, and he had been staying for a long, long time.

"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry ......."

The crown prince Liu Ju, who had already changed into a plain white filial piety suit, silently walked to his side and whispered. The infinite guilt contained in this is his apology to Yuan Zhao on behalf of the former emperor and the entire imperial family.

"Needless to say. What are those things...... It has nothing to do with you in the first place. ”

Yuan Zhao glanced back at him, what happened these days had exhausted His Royal Highness the Prince's torture, and the whole person had lost a lot of weight.

"But I still can't forgive myself! If I could have reminded you before I went on tour, I might have been able to avoid a lot of things...... It's all my fault! ”

The prince's pain and guilt come from the heart. Although he knew that under the emperor's will, even if he wanted to do something, it would be useless, but he still hated his cowardice in this matter.

"Okay, don't dwell on it anymore. His Majesty's good intentions of the first emperor are all for the stability of the country, and there is nothing wrong with it. By the time I received the edict, I had promised him that all his grievances would be written off. ”

Yuan Zhao patted him on the shoulder, he didn't want the prince to be burdened by the psychological burden. That doesn't do anyone any good. Feeling the generosity of his palm, the crown prince Liu Ju remembered his help to him over the years, and thought of the death of his father, and finally couldn't bear the sadness and tears

It rained and cried for a while.

"Actually, Mr. Yan, the master father, has taught me a lot of truths, and he has a lot of talent. If it is not a day or a holiday...... Alas! Brother Yuan, don't be too sad. ”

Seeing that Yuan Zhao's face was still not good, the prince endured the sadness in his heart, but persuaded him first. Yuan Zhao was silent. These chest wounds cannot be relieved by persuasion, perhaps only time can heal.

"The past is over, and there is no need to talk about it. Prince, many important matters in Chang'an are waiting for you to decide...... Perhaps, it's time for us to go back. ”

The two stood side by side, looking at the vast autumn water, the vastness of the world, and in addition to melancholy, there were infinite expectations gradually growing. After tomorrow, the mountains and rivers under their feet will really be left to their young hands to paint to their heart's content?

And not far away, all the people who followed the crown prince Liu Ju to take refuge in Changle Plateau had already been prepared, led by Sima Xiangru, waiting for them quietly, ready to go.

The cavalry of the 800 Red Fire Army was bright and bright, and they were in good spirits. At the beginning, they rescued the down-and-out prince from outside the west gate of Chang'an, and today they will escort him back to Chang'an and ascend the throne as emperor.

The red fire horse seemed to understand the owner's intentions, and in such a scene, it was rare not to gallop impatiently. And its owner, in a bright red robe, his face was a little unusually red. Fortunately, she put down her mask, and no one would notice it, and she was not afraid that the tenderness in her watery eyes would be seen by the man.

No one can know that the heart wrapped under her hard armor does not belong to her at the moment, and is already firmly concerned about Yuan Zhao. During the thousand-mile journey back from the East China Sea, Yuan Zhao had promised her that after this matter was over, she would withdraw from the army and return to peace.

Although this general's armor is still a little reluctant, once his wish for many years is fulfilled, he can't take care of it much. Thinking that from now on, put away the murderous sword, learn to manage red makeup, like many ordinary women in the world, for a person, morning and twilight, boiling tea and studying books, there is a strange sweetness in my heart.

The remains of the master father Yan were buried on the banks of Weishui, the southernmost point of Changle Plateau. Before leaving, Yuan Zhao went to worship one last time. A pinch of new soil, the fragrance of spring brewing, this place where the mountains and rivers are clear, presumably his soul that has been wandering for most of his life can be well rested.

"Yuanhou, don't worry. I will naturally take care of my old friend's grave. From now on, I will often tell him about all the achievements you have done in the temple. ”

Dong Zhongshu, who is plainly dressed and high-crowned, is a few years older than his main father, but his body has always been tough. Although he was just as sentimental at the moment, looking at this young man who was about to embark on the latest journey, his tone was more of an exhortation.

Yuan Zhao was grateful in his heart and said goodbye. This time, he assisted the prince to return to Weiyang Palace, in addition to his former followers, he also took with him a large number of young talents from the Chang'an Royal Academy.

Dong Zhongshu has worked hard for this college over the years and poured all his energy into it. Today, the world's erudition and Confucianism are gathered, and the division of labor in various disciplines is detailed. Located in the best place of feng shui in Changle Plateau, Chang'an Royal Academy has truly become the cradle of cultivating the elite of the empire.

It is precisely because of such a guarantee that Yuan Zhao will take this opportunity to ruthlessly eliminate the corrupt opposition forces in half of the court. In order to achieve long-term peace and stability, the prosperous empire must continue to innovate and develop, rather than integrate

The day is plunged into a power struggle and internal friction. He has long wanted to reshuffle those important functional departments in the court, including the changes in the Yuan Palace, from this aspect, it is the right time!

"Master Dong, remember to take those tonic medicines I left for you on time. Although it is not a panacea, it still has some effect on dispelling illness and prolonging life and health. ”

Feeling Yuan Zhao's eagerness, Dong Zhongshu nodded in agreement. He had always believed in Yuan Zhao's medical skills, and he knew that the medicines he refined with his own hands were all taken from various precious medicinal ingredients overseas, and this affection was thick enough.

After all the arrangements were completed, the brigade set off and headed for Chang'an. It's just a journey of more than 30 miles, and an hour later, Yongning Gate is in sight.

Dongfang Shuo, Wei Qing and others, who had already been informed, led a large number of subjects to wait here for a long time. The prince dismounted and saw each other, naturally there was a surprise and sadness.

When entering the city, the crown prince Liu Ju suddenly stopped, summoned Chang'an to order Ren Kuan to come to him, and said that Yongningmen was in distress that day, but it was thanks to his cousin Ren An who gave up his life to help him to go out of the city smoothly. It's just a pity that General Ren An, under the accountability of the opposition forces, was unwilling to be humiliated and killed himself. When he learned the news, he was haunted by it.

Faced with the prince's guilt, Ren Kuanbai fell to the ground and thanked and dissuaded him on behalf of his cousin. The Ren brothers were loyal, and the prince was very moved and kept it in mind. Soon after succeeding to the throne, he posthumously bestowed the title on the dead Ren An, so that he could be glorified and favored by future generations, which could be regarded as repaying his loyal deeds.

The crown prince Liu Ju entered the city, entered the Weiyang Palace, and first worshiped the coffin of the first emperor in the front hall. Then he hurriedly rushed back to Jianzhang Palace, and when he saw that Empress Wei was safe and sound, he was relieved. Talking about each other's panic and anxiety in just a few days, it is naturally even more sad.

"Ju'er, if there is no Yuan Zhao, not only will your life be difficult to protect, but I am afraid that even the Queen Mother and the Wei clan will be wiped out! The Han Dynasty is even more precarious...... The queen mother hopes that you will remember that no matter what contradictions you have in the future in the major affairs of the court and politics, you must not forget his rescue several times. ”

The prince nodded heavily. Needless to say, Yuan Zhao's life-saving grace in the past and the love between the two of them over the years, that is, the feelings of family and country he showed when he was turbulent, are enough to be worthy of his admiration and learning.

"Rest assured! After the son ascends the throne, he should be entrusted with the state government. Brother Yuan held the power to take charge of the government, and his uncle held the general's seal to shock the Quartet...... Erchen has the two of them as his right-hand men, so why worry! ”

Empress Wei was relieved. It's great that the prince can think so! This is not a simple delegation of power, but absolute trust, and it is the wisdom of the prince.

In order to quickly appease the people's hearts and calm down the panic caused by the change in Hanyuan Hall as soon as possible. Following the advice of the ministers, the crown prince Liu Ju ascended the throne on the same day and officially sat on the throne of the emperor. He was the sixth king of the Han Empire.

Sima Qian, who took off the shackles and picked up the history pen again, solemnly wrote: "In the autumn of the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, the Son of Heaven collapsed, and he was called Emperor Xiaowu. Prince Ju succeeded to the throne, paid homage to the temple, changed the yuan, and pardoned the ...... of the world. ”
