In the twelfth year of Xuanwu, Yanjing Mansion, the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty, was in early spring, and the warmth melted the severe cold of the north a little bit, and between the cold and steep spring temperatures, most of the capital was peaceful and peaceful inside and outside.

Sanniang has been the emperor for 12 years, she has just passed her forty-eighth birthday, she is almost fifty years old, but the words of the years urge people to grow old seem to have no effect on Sanniang, her face is still the same, her hair is still black and bright, her skin is still tight and delicate, and the pig-killing knife of the years does not seem to have caused any harm to her.

Sanniang has long practiced the Taoist art of qi and beauty, so she can stay for a long time, but the physical and mental exhaustion is indelible. has been the emperor for 12 years, and the people around her are not as free and easy as her, and the pig-killing knife of the years kills others, which is quite refreshing.

Among the ten people in the cabinet of Zhongshu Province, Zuo Xiang Zongze died of illness as early as the sixth year of Xuanwu, and after his death, Sanniang was buried with a thick life, posthumously presented the word Wending, and posthumously crowned the king of Qi. Then Li Gang, Su Yuanjing, Huang Sheng and other old ministers passed away one after another, and the pig-killing knife of the years made Sanniang realize what life and death parting is.

Zhu Wu, Zhao Ding, Hu Quan, Li Guang and others have successively joined the cabinet, so that the country can continue to develop steadily, and the momentum of tough expansion to the outside world has not weakened.

In terms of military affairs, the seed master also died in the eighth year of Xuanwu, posthumously presented Wuwei, posthumously crowned the king of Jin, and Lu Junyi became a privy envoy, but Lu Junyi was already almost sixty years old, and his hair was gray, every time Sanniang saw him and saw that his senior brother was getting old, he couldn't help but feel sad. But Lu Junyi is still optimistic, and he joked when he saw Sanniang several times: "Together with my junior sister, I don't know, I think my junior sister is my son and nephew." ”

Sanniang got along with several teachers as much as ever, and she did not estranged herself in private because she became the emperor. In Lin Chong's words, if the junior sister is a man, the relationship will be estranged, but the junior sister is a woman, they will always respect her and protect her, and Sanniang is also happy to enjoy this kind of doting love.

Lin Chong in Xuanwu ten years of old and returned to the field, he more than ten years in the northwest and the West Liao war, fell into a problem, finally in the Xuanwu ten years, defeated the West Liao, the West Liao had to move west again, moved to the west of Central Asia, so Lin Chong decided to return to the field.

Sanniang didn't keep it, she also felt sorry for her senior brother, she didn't want to see her senior brother work hard all his life, but in the end he died of old age in the army, so she agreed to return home. Lin Chong then told the old man to return to the field, but Sanniang still crowned him as the Duke of Wuning and returned to live in Kaifeng, Nanjing. Lin Chong took Lin Niangzi back to Kaifeng to spend her old age, and got a good death, every year when Sanniang went to Kaifeng to visit her, she would visit Lin Chong.

Sometimes Sanniang also asked Lu Junyi, do you want to go home to recuperate? Lu Junyi knew that it was not Sanniang who was testing him, but he was really worried about his body, and every time Lu Junyi smiled and said: "Senior brother has practiced martial arts all his life, and his body can support him until he is eighty years old, senior brother just wants to shelter his junior sister from the wind and rain for a few more years, and when junior sister is not an emperor or senior brother is not good, let's talk about it." ”

In fact, Lu Junyi's words are very clear, he has always insisted, if Sanniang passes on the throne to the crown prince Hu Zongming, he will tell the old man to return to the field, or when he really can't do it, he will also leave. And Lu Junyi even found the person behind him, that is, the junior brother Yue Fei, Yue Fei returned to Dadu in the ninth year of Xuanwu and became a privy deputy envoy, Lu Junyi has been teaching him how to command the military of the whole country.

Yue Fei is nearly forty years old, he is in the prime of life, it is the year of fighting, Lu Junyi once said that Yue Fei is a person who can support orphans after these old people are useless, Sanniang thinks so.

Another old man in Sanniang's division, her uncle Luan Tingyu, passed away in the eleventh year of Xuanwu, and before her death, Sanniang ordered An Daoquan to be treated, but after all, medical skills cannot compete with the law of life and death, and people will die when they are old. Before dying, he talked to Sanniang about Zhou Tong's whereabouts.

"Your Majesty, my senior brother has gone far away, and I don't know his life and death, the last time I received his letter was three years ago, in the letter he told me not to reveal his news to you, but now I am already a person who is going to die, this news can not be buried with me for a long time, so I will inform Your Majesty today, but Senior Brother said, I hope Your Majesty will not go to him." After finishing speaking, Luan Tingyu ended with a smile.

Sanniang has always wanted to find her master Zhou Tong, after becoming the emperor, Sanniang has always wanted to find her master and raise him for the rest of his life, but Zhou Tong has been avoiding her, wandering around, and is nowhere to be found. After listening to Luan Tingyu's words, Sanniang was even more melancholy.

And Sanniang's other master Wang Jin has been in Dadu, last year Wang Jin finally had to say goodbye to the old and return to his hometown, back to Kaifeng to live, Sanniang missed the old, and named Wang Jin the title of Duke of Anguo, Wang Jin's son is still serving in the army.

Shi Jin has been guarding the hometown of the Xia Kingdom in the northwest, suppressing the local Xiqiang and other tribes, and at the same time preparing to march into Tibet, although Shi Jin is not young, but fortunately he has been practicing martial arts for many years, although he is almost fifty years old, but he is still in good spirits. And several of his sons are brave generals, and two sons have also accompanied the prince in Dadu for a long time.

Most of the people in the division who are close to Sanniang have a good death, Shi Jin finally died in the army of the army that marched into Tibet after Hu Zongming succeeded to the throne, which is considered a horse leather shroud, and the wisdom of his life, and then the northwest Shi family shocked the northwest, and its sons inherited their father's will, and finally destroyed Tubo, opened up the territory for the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the descendants of the Shi family guarded the border until the fall of the Yuan Dynasty.

The name of the historian is the descendants of Lu Junyi, and the descendants of Lu Junyi are generally the generals of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Lu family, the Shi family, plus the descendants of Yue Fei and Lin Chong, the Lu family, the Shi family, the Lin family, and the Yue family are known as the four major generals of the Yuan Dynasty.

Among the rest of the old brothers in Liangshan, Lu Zhishen resigned in the second year of Xuanwu after Sanniang Dingguo, and finally still became a monk in Wutai Mountain.

Wu Song resigned in the tenth year of Xuanwu and returned to his hometown, Qinghe County, with Pan Jinlian, and most of his children and grandchildren were officials in the court. And Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang also returned to their hometown after being officials for a few years, and they both died in their hometown of Mengzhou, Sanniang gave Zhang Qing the title of Mengyang Hou, and Sun Erniang was named Mrs. Mengyang.

Li Kui and Pang Qiuxia have been in the army, Li Kui is an idle person, since the conquest of the Xia Kingdom, he has participated in almost all the foreign wars of the Great Yuan Dynasty, although there are a lot of killings, but at least not like in the Water Margin, and then indiscriminately kill innocents. However, the name of Li Kui, the black whirlwind of the Great Yuan Dynasty, is really terrifying, he cut a pair of plate axes from the Xia State to Nanzhao, and then to Vietnam, Goryeo, Western Liao, Tubo, all countries are afraid of Li Kui's name, and later Li Kui also achieved the name of killing the gods, and subdued the four yi.

Later, Li Kui was also in the army of Central Asia, once with his subordinates during a wine feast, after three jars of wine, laughed three times, died in the army, at that time was already Hu Zongming succeeded the emperor, but also held a grand state funeral for Li Kui, posthumously named the king of Si.

Zhu Wu has been serving as the prime minister of the country, after Li Gang, Zong Ze and others died, he has been presiding over the court until Hu Zongming succeeded to the throne in the tenth year before he died of illness, which can be regarded as a lifetime of loyalty to the Hu family, and later won the title of King Shaohua.

Looking at the familiar people, leaving the court one by one, Sanniang also felt a little tired, looking around, except for Tubo, Xiliao and Fusang, the rest of the countries were annexed or surrendered, and the Mongolian tribes were gradually encroached and annexed under the pressure of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and they never became a climate. Sanniang decided to start preparing for the major event of passing the throne to the crown prince Hu Zongming, just because Hu Zongming was eighteen years old and had already reached adulthood, Sanniang didn't want to be the emperor for more than ten years, and pressed his son on the crown prince for more than ten years, which was unfair to him.

So Sanniang ordered the crown prince Hu Zongming to open a mansion at the age of eighteen, and often ordered the prince to supervise the country, and he himself went back and forth between the five capitals every year. Hu Zongming's Sanniang selected many capable ministers and cadres for him, and the young and capable Yu Yunwen, Wu Jue, Wu Lan and others were all arranged under the command of the prince, and the important ministers of Tuogu were also selected, and Zhu Wu, Wen Huanzhang, Huang Wenbing, Lou Minzhong, Yue Fei and others were also explained.

In the spring of the twelfth year of Xuanwu, Sanniang called Hu Zongming to come to him, and explained the military and political affairs in the country, as always, Sanniang let Hu Zongming continue to attach importance to industry and commerce, not to focus on agriculture and business, encourage folk invention and creation, attach importance to the development of firearms and navigation, and continue to expand the territory, the Great Yuan Dynasty did not list any countries that could not be requisitioned, as long as the national strength allowed, any country can be requisitioned, including Tubo, Fusang and other countries in the plateau or overseas.

He also summoned Zhu Wu, Wen Huanzhang, Huang Wenbing, Lou Minzhong, Yue Fei and other important ministers into the palace, and entrusted the prince and the country to these important ministers. Then Sanniang issued an edict, giving the Zen position to the crown prince Hu Zongming, and after he abdicated, he planned to take Huan Huan to go overseas to escape the world.

In the twelfth year of Xuanhe, a generation of civil and military empress Hu Lan abdicated, passed on the crown prince Hu Zongming, entrusted the lonely ministers Zhu Wu, Wen Huanzhang, Huang Wenbing, Lou Minzhong, Yue Fei and others, and took Huan Huan to retreat away, and then there was no news of Hu Lan.

After Hu Zongming succeeded to the throne, he changed the Yuan Dynasty to succeed the martial arts, inheriting the policy tradition of Sanniang, and the Great Yuan Dynasty still attached importance to industry and commerce and navigation, and began the Age of Exploration earlier than the West. In the second year of Wu, Hu Zongming destroyed Tubo, and in the fourth year of Wu, Hu Zongming sent 100,000 military horses and 1,000 warships to attack Fusang and destroy Fusang. In the seventh year of the martial arts, Hu Zongming sent 200,000 troops to conquer the Western Liao, and the Western Liao perished. In the tenth year of Jiwu, Hu Zongming united the countries of West Asia and Central Asia, sent 500,000 troops to attack the countries of Eastern Europe, destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire, and occupied Constantinople, thus pushing the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty to the limit. Then the troops were sent to the European countries, so far the European countries were oppressed by the military power of the Great Yuan all the year round, and several coalition armies were defeated by the Great Yuan, and the countries had to submit to the Great Yuan Dynasty for a hundred years, and the European history called the Great Yuan Yellow Peril.
