Formerly known as Tongzhou, renamed Lin'an City by the first emperor, in a luxurious house, a girl dressed in linen and filial piety looked at the north in the rockery, alone and silent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

was originally a lively girl, but the sudden blow had begun to make her confused. Her father sent her to the south, and the royal brother and other members of the royal family who had been promised would all go south, but not long after, the news of her father's death came, and then the royal brother ascended the throne, and the person she liked became a criminal wanted by various states overnight, and he was nowhere to be found.

She was like being forgotten and stayed in this Lin'an city. Originally, after the imperial brother ascended the throne, he wanted to change this Lin'an City back to Tongzhou City, but in the end, it was probably because the new laws that his father and that person had implemented in the past few months had been deposed, and the imperial brother always wanted to leave some face for his father, and the name of "Lin'an" was not changed back.

In the distance behind her, the county lord of Baotong and Miss Lu walked towards her together, calling her.

Although they have "broken up" many times, the three of them are still the best partners. In the golden autumn and September days, the wind was strong and the dew was heavy, and they really couldn't put their minds at ease, so they found here.

"Red Butterfly, don't be sad!" Miss Lu said softly.

"Red Butterfly!" The lord of Baotong County said quickly, "Your mother is still looking for you everywhere, we guess you must be here, so we came here, don't be here to be sad, let's go, let's go play." ”

Princess Red Butterfly wiped her tears and looked back: "I won't play anymore, I want to practice martial arts." ”

The county lord of Baotong and Miss Lu said in unison: "Practicing martial arts? ”

Princess Red Butterfly picked up a book of Taoism: "Hmm...... I want to practice martial arts! ”

The two friends looked at it together, and saw that on the cover of the Taoist book, the words "Nine Yin True Scripture" were written.

On that day, when Ning Jiang first told the emperor about the possible danger of national extinction that the whole of China might face, Red Butterfly was also listening on the side. Although she is still young, such a thing as destroying the country still makes her shudder. Red Butterfly is a smart girl who knows very well what will happen to a girl like her once she really becomes a slave.

She knew in her heart why her father sent her to the south, she silently obeyed her father's arrangement, and at the same time hoped that her father and that person would be safe. However, what she didn't expect was that before the barbarians went south, her father had already died violently, and the imperial brother obviously didn't believe that person's words at all, and even seemed to have the intention of going against that person, and he had to give up whatever that person supported.

Red Butterfly believes in her father, and at the same time, she deeply believes in that person, and she feels that she should do something about it. However, above the court, there is no place for a woman, even if she is the proud daughter of the sky.

So, she wants to start learning martial arts, if the world is really in chaos, she hopes that at least she can protect herself. Of course, she also knows that practicing martial arts is a very hard job, especially for her, who has always been pampered, but she believes that she will be able to persevere.

"Martial arts!" The county lord of Baotong thought for a moment, then grabbed her arm and said with a grin, "Let's learn with you." ”

Miss Lu nodded vigorously: "Hmm! Well! Naturally, the two of them didn't have much interest in practicing martial arts, but they still decided to accompany her, after all, they were partners who grew up together.

In the county king's mansion, which is only one street away from this mansion, the father of the county lord of Baotong, Song Hong, the king of Hexiang County, sits in the main hall with Zhao Guogong, a local celebrity who has long retired from the imperial court.

At this moment, the sky has only been dark for a long time, and the dew on the leaves in the courtyard has not yet dripped away. In the vast back garden, there is still a fog shrouding the gorgeous landscape.

Song Hong, the king of Hexiang County, said: "This time Xiao'er's marriage, there will be Lao Guogong." ”

Zhao Guogong laughed and said: "A little thing, why is the king of the county concerned?" ”

Song Hong shook his head helplessly, his son Song Junzhe fell in love with Ning Jiang's sister, he was naturally clear, however, before Ning Jiang won the top prize, his sister was not qualified to marry into the county palace, and when he won the top prize, he had an ambiguous relationship with the first emperor's sister and the eldest princess of Luanmei, and then a series of things happened.

Now, Ning Jiang has been wanted by the new emperor with a sea capture document, and he absconded for fear of crime, and Song Hong, as the king of the county, did not dare to have anything to do with him, so he forcibly set a family affair for his son, and the marriage will be completed in a few days.

He took a sip of tea and muttered: "Recently, the imperial court decrees have been repeated repeatedly, especially the armor protection law, such a major event, as soon as it has a prototype, it will be abolished overnight, and I don't know how to ...... What do you think? ”

Zhao Guogong shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." You and I should be clear about the affairs of the imperial court, sometimes, right and wrong are not really important, like these many new laws, the first emperor is in a hurry, the new emperor is in a hurry, there are many things, we people can't understand. However, overnight, the new law was abolished, and the old man felt that it was still a little over, and in the old man's opinion, the new law still had many outstanding points. A long sigh.

Song Hong thought about it for a while, and said in a low voice: "Actually, what the first emperor and Ning Jiang did was not completely wasted......

Zhao Guogong looked at him suspiciously: "What do you say?" ”

Song Hong said softly: "Do you know that in the past few months, Na Ningjiang has mobilized many blacksmiths and craftsmen from various states and counties with the will of the Son of Heaven, and these people have gathered in one place, and finally they were all transferred by the Son of Heaven with a secret decree, but now, the new Son of Heaven and Han Xiang seem to be completely ignorant of this. When the blacksmiths and craftsmen of Honshu were summoned, they were handled by my hands, and all they got at that time was a secret decree from the first emperor, saying that there were fortifications in the north that needed these people. However, as far as I later learned, these people did not go north, but were taken south by people sent by the Son of Heaven. ”

Zhao Guogong was surprised: "To the south? I heard that Ningjiang was confusing the lord, and he used the excuse that there was a more warlike war in the north, and it was common sense to gather craftsmen and blacksmiths to build fortifications in the north, but what to do in the south? ”

Song Hong said: "This ...... Naturally, this king doesn't know, I thought that Tan Lao would know something about you......"

Zhao Guogong was even more surprised: "Why does the old man know?" ”

Song Hong lowered his voice and said, "Ling's nephew's acceptance of fate this time is probably related to this. ”

Zhao Guogong frowned: "Are you talking about nephew Lin?" But what he was appointed this time was the Nanjian Xuanzhi Envoy, although it was an exceptional promotion, but the Nanjian Xuanhui Division was in charge of the affairs of crossing the mountains and the Linghai...... It shouldn't have anything to do with the North Barbarians. ”

Zhao Guogong's original surname was Tan, and the Tan Lin in his mouth was his nephew, who was born in Jinshi, and was a concubine, that is, Miss Lu's father, who married the sixth daughter of the first emperor. Two months ago, the first emperor urgently summoned Tan Lin, and then asked him to go to the Nanjian Xuanwei Division to take office.

Zhao Guogong was also quite surprised that his nephew was suddenly appointed as the consolation envoy of the Nanjian Propaganda Division. The first emperor has always attached great importance to his nephew, and he also trusts him, this Zhao Guogong naturally knows, but with Tan Lin's qualifications, although he is a relative of the emperor, he is still insufficient to serve as the Nanjian Xuan envoy who sits on the side of the town.

Song Hong continued: "The person who took away a large number of craftsmen and blacksmiths, surnamed Fu, I don't know who his real name is, I only know that everyone else calls him a blessing, he has the secret decree of the first emperor in his hands, and after I handed over those craftsmen to him, I can't ask more about their whereabouts." It's just that now, when the new emperor ascends the throne and the court, it seems that he doesn't know about this matter at all, and I don't know if I should play this matter......"

Zhao Guogong smiled bitterly: "It turns out that the king of the county brought the old man here this time, is it for me to give me a problem?" ”

Song Hong hurriedly surrendered his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" In fact, for this matter, since I received the secret decree of the first emperor at that time, I should not ask about it afterwards, but this matter is too strange after all, in fact, I am not too sure that those people really entered the Yueling, but ......"

Zhao Guogong said: "That's it, that's it, hearing you say this, even the old man became curious, so I wrote to my nephew to ask." But my nephew, you also know that if there is really any secret decree of the first emperor, it is not a simple matter to want to find out from his mouth......"

***

The capital, deep in the palace.

The new queen Chen Yan, under the service of a group of palace maids, applied grease and powder to the treasure mirror.

Chen Yan married into the East Palace for only three years, although the first emperor Song Shao's health is not very good, but after all, he is still in the prime of life, Chen Yan originally thought that he would have to wait at least ten or twenty years before he could be promoted from the crown princess to the queen, but he didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly.

The distance between the crown princess and the queen seems to be only one step away, but its status is almost the difference between the caged finch who is cautious everywhere and does not dare to step on a wrong step, and the golden phoenix who is powerful. The moment she became the queen, she taught her a hard lesson, those eunuchs and palace maids who didn't even know how to offend her, and then played a bit of prestige in front of other imperial relatives, and only felt satisfied.

It was almost noon when the voice of "the Holy Lord arrived" came, and she dressed up in fancy clothes, and got up to greet her husband. Song Gan, the Son of Heaven, stepped into the hall, and Queen Chen Yan put her hands on her waist, saluted, and said softly: "The concubine greets Your Majesty." ”

Song Qian took her hand and said with a smile: "Let the queen wait for a long time." ”

In the past few days, the courtiers have been greeted by various courtiers, coupled with the auspicious gifts presented by local officials everywhere, and the wonders reported by the new emperor after his accession to the throne, the court is full of joy. At the same time, all kinds of good news came, after receiving reports from all sides, he knew that the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very good, but when the hated father was there, he was bewitched by the Ningjiang River, and always thought that my Great Zhou would destroy the country at any time, so that everyone lived in a fearful depression, and the whole palace was depressed and uneasy, and even the government and the opposition were in a tense change, and they were not at peace.

And now, at least an army of more than one million is approaching the four northern states ceded to the barbarians from all directions, and the land lost by the father emperor will still be recaptured in his hands after all.

Empress Chen personally untied the dragon robe for Song Qian, and said, "I heard that the courtiers are preparing a name for the first emperor, I don't know if it can be decided?" ”

Song Qian sighed: "Although my father bewitched the traitorous minister, he is also a diligent king after all, and there is no merit and hard work. ”

God, the god of the people's powerlessness...... The common people didn't know what to say about him, so they called him God!

In Song Qian's mind, at least this is not a bad word, after all, he still left some affection for his father's last mediocrity.

Next, the new emperor and the new queen had lunch together in the palace, and then went on the dragon couch, all kinds of love lingered, and they were very happy.

Deeper, the Empress Dowager Zhou, the mother of the new Son of Heaven, was in her hall, looking at a large stack of folds placed on the ground, and the folds were stained with blood, and she was silent.

On that stormy night, when she knew what had happened, she paved the way for her only son with vigorous means, and did not let that accident affect the future of their mother and son. At this time, all the palace maids and eunuchs who might know what happened that night were also dealt with by her secretly, leaving no trouble.

But at this moment, looking at these folds that shouldn't have been kept anyway, I don't know why, but she has a feeling of panic. The bloodstains seemed to be a wordless sneer.

She gritted her teeth, but at last picked them up one by one, threw them into the furnace, and the flames ignited, turning the handwriting left by the traitor who had bewitched her husband, and the last of her husband's blood, into ashes, and the pieces of ash turned in the furnace like a butterfly of death, silently laughing at something.

She became more and more panicked.

In the golden autumn of September, the golden garden is full, the autumn wind gradually rises, the silver dew begins to fall, the fruits are abundant, and the autumn water is full. The new emperor ascended the throne, everything is new, auspicious everywhere, the government is harmonious, standing in the gorgeous and magnificent palace, looking in all directions, only to feel that the splendid mountains and rivers that stretch for thousands of miles, everything is so prosperous and peaceful. The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, as if covered with gold makeup and jade ornaments, overnight, thousands of auspicious rui gushed out, creating a picture of the coming prosperous scene.

Until that night, the eight-hundred-mile rush from the north knocked on the gate of the capital, entered the inner city, and flew into the palace.

The Son of Heaven, who got up from the queen overnight, hurried out of the hall, and at the moment he saw the eight-hundred-mile urgent paperwork, under the night sky full of stars, it seemed that that night, the thunder that tore apart the heavens and the earth, the whole person had been blinded. Hundreds of civil and military officials were summoned one after another, and the people were panicked and looked at each other at a loss, and some people comforted the Son of Heaven and comforted themselves at the same time.

However, in the next few days, more auspicious things came from the place, and more urgent documents came from the north. The battle report swept in all directions like a raging wind. The people of China are all at a loss. The Queen Mother of the Deep Palace, covering her chest and having no face. The new queen of the harem has no blood on her face.

The splendid mountains and rivers decorated with gold makeup and jade seem to be in just a few days...... It was torn apart...... (To be continued.) )
