PS: The front is high-energy, and you can only accept the reunion, don't read this chapter.

The twenty-third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (453 BC).

It has been twenty-three years since the establishment of the Hao Dynasty and the accession of Emperor Zhao Wuxian by the mandate of heaven.

In order to facilitate the rule of the Quartet, His Majesty the Emperor set up the five-capital system on the basis of the two-capital system, Beijing is Yecheng, and sits in Jizhou, the basic Panpan of the Hao Dynasty; Tokyo is known as the "Ruins of Shaohao", Qufu, which deters Haidai; Xijing is Chang'an on the bank of Weishui, entrenched in Qinchuan, looking west to Longxi, and embracing Bashu in the south.

As for Zhongjing, it is naturally known as Luoyang, which is "the middle of the world, the thoroughfare between east and west".

Only Nanjing was not set up, because His Majesty the Emperor said that his ideal Nanjing should be in Jiying (Jiangling) or Jinling, and those two places are still the territories of Chu and Yue, the princes of the Hao Dynasty......

Located in Hanoi County, Wen County, although not the five Kyoto Eupureup of the Hao Dynasty, also has a special status, it is the location of the ancestral tomb of the Zhao family's family temple, and it is also the mausoleum selected by His Majesty the Emperor. He said that after he could not sleep for a long time, he hoped to accompany the ancestors of the Zhao family here, King Wen, King Jing, and his father, Zhao Ying, who was respected as "Emperor Wu......

This is the homeland of the Su family in the past, looking at Taihang in the north, the Yellow River in the south, and the feng shui is excellent.

When people die like life, the royal family is no exception, when His Majesty the Emperor is still in good health, the imperial mausoleum in Wenxian County has already started construction.

Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the external form of the tomb was "no tree and no seal". In the past two hundred years, in order to worship the ancestors and facilitate the identification of tombs, the princes and doctors have turned the "tomb" into a "tomb", and piled up a mound on the flat ground, and later developed from a "tomb" to a "mountain". Therefore, the size of the mound became an important symbol of authority and wealth.

After the emperor came to the Central Plains, he cracked down on this extravagant burial custom, saying: "For the dead, they look at 10,000 years like a moment. The life expectancy of a human being is no more than 100 years, and the average life expectancy is only 60 years. Isn't it ridiculous to plan for the endless yin shou according to the 100-year-old and 60-year-old? ”

Therefore, the emperor chose the festival funeral, but as the lord of the four seas, the mausoleum can not be too shabby, so it is a little higher on the basis of the tomb of the Son of Heaven in the Zhou Dynasty, the mausoleum is not more than ten zhang high, compared to the fifty zhang high seal of Qin Shi Huang in history, it is much inferior.

According to the tradition of the surname Ying, the mausoleum is not the Xia people and the Zhou people sitting in the north and facing south, but similar to the tomb of the Qin family, sitting in the west and facing the east. Even if they die, the descendants of the surname Ying have to look in the direction they came from, the direction in which the sun rises......

The main body of this mausoleum is equipped with two cemeteries for the emperor and queen to sleep, and the husband and wife are in the same place. The Emperor's Mausoleum is located in the west-central part of the entire mausoleum area, and the Queen's Mausoleum is on its side.

However, what is surprising is that this imperial mausoleum has two queens' mausoleums on the left and one on the right, especially the one on the right, which has been completed, and next to the mausoleum, there is a slightly smaller mausoleum, which has also been completed, and the grass on the mausoleum has been old and tall. Compared with the imperial tomb that is still under construction next to it, it is even more unusual......

This is a secrecy of the royal struggle, and those who know it dare not say much.

At this moment, the emperor of the Hao Dynasty, Zhao Wuxian, who was already in his sixties, was standing in front of the mausoleum, wearing regular clothes, and the distant crown was tied to the black and white hair.

"Lao Tzu said to me back then, if you love a lot, you will spend a lot, and if you hide too much, you will die. Excessive covetousness will cause greater ruins, and the more you store it, the more it will inevitably be lost. The meaning of this sentence is that what you want to get, you have to pay a certain price......"

Recalling the past, he said sadly: "At that time, I was bent on replacing the Zhou room and pacifying the world, and I didn't think too much. It wasn't until I was over sixty years old that I realized how heavy the price was......"

His hand touched the cold tombstone, which read, "The Tomb of Empress Wen Min" and "The Tomb of the Mourning Prince".

"Although I have done many things in my life, I can be regarded as worthy of my heart after all, but I am sorry, Lingzi and Heng'er, it is your mother and son......

This has been a practice for five years, every year Qingming, His Majesty the Emperor will come to Wen County, in front of the two mausoleums to pay homage and mourn, stay for a long time, during this period, the guards next to them, all look at the nose and nose, and dare not speak.

Only the cronies and attendants who had served the emperor for many years knew that since that incident, the emperor had rarely smiled, and his temper had become more and more incomprehensible.

Looking at the slightly lonely figure of the emperor from afar, the little official Le Yang who guarded the tomb couldn't help but recall what happened back then......

……

In the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, after being ordered by the heavens and replacing the Zhou room, the emperor adopted the "Huang Lao Governing Technique" suggested by Ren Zhang, lightly dispensed with the thin endowment and rested with the people, after more than ten years of accumulation, the country's granary was full, and a large number of copper coins in the treasury were not used for many years, so that the rope that wore the money was rotten, and the scattered money was too much to calculate.

The country has money and grain, there is the power to open up the territory, the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor ordered the Marquis Zhao Jia to destroy the Shu country, take the south Zheng, the next year and break the country of Ba, take the Han Zhongyong, until the fish recovery. After operating Badi for several years, he built a plank road and continued to attack Shu, after half a year of hard fighting, the enlightened clan of Shu surrendered, and the land of Bashu Huayang was completely included in the rule, and Shu County, Ba County, Hanzhong County were established, and Ximen Leopard and others were guarded, because of their customs, and governed their land.

At this point, Wang Shi had completely occupied the upper reaches of Chu, and His Majesty the Emperor began to sharpen his sword, preparing to attack Chu and Yue, and eliminate the two princes called vassals, but in fact, unite against the Central Plains, and complete the "great unification" in his mind.

At this juncture, something happened within the royal family.

At that time, in Yecheng and counties, there was a secret saying: "How can there be a prince in the world for thirty years?" “

The crown prince Zhao Heng, that is, Le Yang's distant cousin, he was the crown prince at the age of five, and after years of training, he is the ideal heir in the emperor's mind.

However, as the years go by, he has been a prince for thirty years, and his identity is inevitably a little delicate, and he is also facing competition from opponents.

Xu Hou Zhao Yan is the son of Ji Ying, with a strange appearance, pure talent, and all the six arts. In the harem, the emperor favors Ji Huan the most, loves the house and Wu, and takes great care of Zhao Yan, not only makes him Xu Hou, but also accompanies Xu Hou whenever he goes out to patrol various counties and counties.

The crown prince Zhao Heng and Xu Hou Zhao Yan faintly competed for succession, so the relationship between Changxin and Changqiu was a little tense, and it was rumored outside the palace that the emperor had plans to abolish the queen and let Ji Huan ascend the throne. As a result, the rumor that "there is no prince in the world for thirty years" began to spread inside and outside the emperor, saying that the prince couldn't wait anymore and had resentment. There are even rumors that Empress Le Shi and Pengcheng Jun Leru hope that the crown prince will succeed to the throne in advance, but His Majesty the Emperor is in good health, and he is afraid that he will have many years to live......

The three of them became tigers, and in the long run, even the emperor himself became a little suspicious, after all, there was no family affection in the heavenly family.

In this case, the upheaval happened suddenly......

Although Le Yang was the year of the weak crown five years ago, that incident was tantamount to a catastrophe for the Song Guole family, so he was deeply impressed.

It was the emperor's 60th birthday banquet, and the children of the Zhao family all returned to Yecheng to congratulate their old father. The emperor was going to go south to attack Chu and Yue after his birthday, but he didn't want to be at the banquet, but Ji Huan's daughter, Princess Lingshou, the prince of Jiaodong Kingdom, drank and died!

What she drank was the wine that should have been placed in front of Ji Huan and Xu Hou Zhao Yan!

Ji Huan cried so much that he fell into a coma on the spot, and the emperor was also furious, bleeding in his heart.

This incident caused an uproar, and all suspicions pointed to the queen Le Lingzi and the crown prince Zhao Yan. The emperor lost his beloved daughter, and he was even more suspicious that someone wanted to harm Ji Huan, Zhao Yan and even himself, he lost his mind and imprisoned the prince with the most suspicions, and the queen was imprisoned! Ordered Ting Lieutenant Li Kui to investigate the matter thoroughly!

I don't know if it's a coincidence, all the evidence found by Tingwei Li Kui points to the queen - she is Bian Que's female disciple, and she is the world's famous healer's holy hand, healers can live and harm people, and the highly poisonous medicine may come from her!

Princess Lingshou is dead, Le Lingzi is speechless, the emperor is angry and plans to abolish the queen, and cancel Le's feudal status, and the prince's status is also in jeopardy.

And the crown prince Zhao Heng is also pure filial piety and fortitude, in order to prove his mother's innocence, in order to save his mother Jiale's family, he actually committed suicide in prison!

The death of the crown prince touched the emperor greatly, and after the continuous loss of his daughter and son, he began to calm down from his anger, and severely tortured the palace people who may have been involved in the matter, and finally found the tail of a poisonous snake......

All this, from beginning to end, is the handiwork of Nanzi!

The coveted throne was not only the crown prince and Xu Hou, but also the prince of Song......

As the illegitimate son of the emperor, Zishang had no right to inherit, but he had an ambitious and ruthless mother.

Nanzi originally wanted to poison Ji Huan and Zhao Yan, and then blame the queen and the crown prince, so that Changxin and Changqiu's two palaces would be defeated and the whole army would be annihilated. At that time, even if he can't ascend to the sky in one step, make himself the queen, and let Zishang become the prince, at least he can let the Le family fall and the Song State regain the land of the two counties.

In addition to Zhao Heng and Zhao Yan, the emperor's other sons are either talentless, or young and have no prestige, and when the emperor dies, she will assist Zishang and raise the banner of seizing the throne as a "Xuanzi", which is very promising to seize the throne.

After finding out about this matter, the emperor was really inexplicably sad and indignant, and the southern expedition plan was canceled, and the army pointed directly at Shangqiu, wiped out the rebellious Song State, captured Nanzi to Wen County, and died on the spot!

And Zishang, because the tiger poison did not eat the child, the emperor spared his life, and had him and his 3,000 men loaded onto a sea ship, and when the west wind blew, he sent him out of the port of the East China Sea and went all the way to the east.

"If you are lucky enough to reach Fusang, you will live; If the heavens do not spare you, you will die in the belly of the fish to atone for your sins! “

This is a nine-life exile, although the navigation technology of the Central Plains has made great progress in the past 20 years, but at most it can cross the Shaohai to Chen's North Korea, the legend says that in the East China Sea, thousands of miles away from the big island of Fuso, only people go, no one returns......

In addition, Zichuan and Jiaoxi, which are related to the rebellion of the Southern Party, are directly eliminated! Among the three Qi, only the Jiaodong Kingdom of the Han family was preserved because of Princess Lingshou.

But the deceased is gone, and doing these things can't save Zhao Heng's life, but Le Lingzi, who is good at healing, can't cure her heart disease, she is depressed, hiding in the deep palace, never saying a word to the emperor again, and soon farewell to the world......

She was named Empress Wen Min, and Zhao Heng was named the mourning prince and buried next to the imperial tomb of Wen County.

As a branch of Pengcheng Le's family, Leyang represents the clan and comes here to guard the mausoleum......

……

After a long time, the emperor finished his worship and mourning, and sat wearily on his chariot, ready to leave.

However, before leaving, he let Le Yang pass.

Although he had just finished mourning for his deceased wife and son, there was no trace of emotional fluctuations in the emperor's words.

"You're the Sheep?"

"Only, the minister is Leyang."

"You've been guarding the mausoleum here for five years, right? is also a heart, if the queen knows that the Le family has such a filial son and nephew under the Yellow Spring, she will definitely be gratified. I heard Xiangbang Zhai Huang say that when he came with me to inspect the emperor's tomb last year, he talked to you a few words and felt that you were a general. ”

Le Yang was terrified: "It's too conservative and praised, and the villain doesn't dare to be." ”

"Zhai Huang feels that you shouldn't be allowed to stay here anymore, it should be used by the country, he has the wisdom to know people, and has recommended many talents to me, Li Kui, Ximen Leopard, Li Ke, Qu Hou Kui, are all temporary choices. I don't think you're bad, but I want to ask you something. “

"Your father, Pengcheng Junle's brother Le Tai, resented the unkindness of the queen and the prince after the rebellion of the Southern Party five years ago, and ran south to the Yue Kingdom. If I order you to cut down the Yue, and the Yue people use your father as a threat, how should you deal with yourself? ”

Faced with such a choice, Le Yang trembled a little, his teeth chattered, and he replied after a long time: "Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, the minister chooses to be loyal to His Majesty, even if the Yue people cook the minister's father and send it into meat soup, the minister will drink it in one gulp, and then attack Yue to take revenge!" ”

"Good."

Zhao Wuxian lightly praised him, and then said: "In this way, you can be the deputy general, rest assured, I will not be unable to see other fathers and sons together because of the misfortune of my family, I will let you attack Chu, not the ......."

After that, Zhao Wuxian no longer paid attention to Le Yang, and continued to move forward and leave the imperial tomb.

The emperor's tomb is in the mountains on the outskirts of Wenxian County, the return journey is very slow and long, the Yulin guards are heavily guarded, Wu Lin has retreated, and now it is Yu Xi's son who is the chief of Zhao Wuxian's guard, he carefully watches everything around him, in the past twenty years, the emperor does not know how many assassinations he has encountered, of course, every time there is no danger, before the assassin approaches the threatening distance, it is solved by the crossbow.

Zhao Wuxian is not worried, he is napping in the car, it is not as good as back then, he rarely rides a horse now, and he travels a lot less, let alone pro-conquest......

However, when passing by an abandoned small hall in the palace of the Emperor of Wenxian County, Zhao Wuxian suddenly woke up, stopped the car, and looked sideways, his hands trembling slightly when he was not noticed.

That's it.

Five years ago, it was here that he killed Nanzi with his own hands!

……

She often haunts Zhao Wuxian's dreams, her appearance is as bright as when she first met Shangqiu, wearing a purple deep robe, gorgeous and noble, with a jade silk belt tied around her waist, her black and shiny hair is tied into a high bun, and a jade flute with no carving is inserted in the bun. The eyes are charming, the lips are like cherries, and the age is still fifteen years old.

In the dream, they are still young, smiling and smiling, but in reality, both of them are old, their mentality has changed, their passion has precipitated, and their ambition has grown.

Here, Nanzi, who was captured here, confessed to him those crimes one by one, how to spread rumors, how to try to poison Ji Huan and Zhao Yan, and how to blame the queen and Zhao Heng. If it weren't for Princess Lingshou as a substitute for the dead ghost, this poisonous woman's plan would be almost seamless.

She is the person who knows Zhao Wuxian's heart best, and she knows where his reverse scales are, so she is also the easiest to get close to success......

"But you know why you have to touch my scales!" Zhao Wuxian rebuked angrily.

Although the are half-old, Nanzi, who still has thousands of styles, has big crystal tears in her eyes: "Because the concubine loves His Majesty, just like at the beginning!" ”

"It should be me who should accompany Your Majesty! Those who can inherit His Majesty's career should also be our sons! “

Looking at her face, Zhao Wuxian remembered countless past events, remembered the deep affection and sweetness of every cheating relationship, and resounded every time he grabbed her waist, stroked her rich black hair, and stroked her lips, cheeks, and ears......

"Me too." He said to her, with affection.

She hugged him, and she lay in Zhao Wuxian's arms, and Zhao Wuxian's hand slowly strangled her neck, gentle and considerate, but it suddenly turned into violence.

During exciting cheating, he and her often play this game of suffocating orgasm, which is a bliss that cannot be experienced on other wives and concubines.

But that day was different......

"There is a beautiful woman in the East, peerless and independent, looking at the city, and then the country......"

His arm, which could shoot a two-stone bow, his hand that had touched her body countless times, with all his strength, his fingers clasped tightly and sunk into his neck!

He pressed on her, Nanzi's face became flushed due to lack of oxygen, her eyes widened, her breathing slowly disappeared, and her mouth babbled, like the scene when the two of them were ** bliss......

"Rather than know the city and the country? It's hard to get a beautiful woman! It's hard to get a beautiful woman! ”

Zhao Wuxian was unmoved, he hissed and sang, and then gave the fragile neck one last twist, and let tears gush out of his eyes!

The body in his arms gradually became cold, and he strangled the woman he loved like a shark and loved blood, and hated to eat her flesh raw......

This is really a terrible story, but perhaps, from the time Zhao Wuxian first met her, the end was already doomed, and if he knew so, maybe he shouldn't have changed the trajectory of her fate.

Recalling all the things at that time, sitting in the car, Zhao Wuxian closed his eyes again.

Yes, he did a big mistake five years ago, which led to a tragedy, a pair of children died tragically one after another, his wife also died depressed with resentment towards him, and the culprit's mistress was also strangled by his own hands!

Fortunately, his heart could no longer feel the pain, otherwise he really didn't know how to bear it.

That's the price he paid for the queen, right?

However, since he is the true king who connects heaven and earth, the past, the present and the future, he can't hide too much fragility and remorse in his heart, and his will is by no means the same thing as the sorrow of the deceased.

Since what you do should not be blasphemed, then you must not feel sorry for yourself, but should continue to look at the world!

What's more, she is always with him......

……

As usual, after entering the palace, the attendants retreated, because His Majesty the Emperor did not like too many people to circle around him, so he was even more insecure.

"Young?"

Beating his slightly hunched back, walking a little staggering, calling her name, Zhao Wuxian searched for it.

"Don't shout, the lord of Kyushu, the king of a country, shouting in the palace, what kind of system is it?"

Like the old man Zhao Wuxian, Ji Huan, who was already a sixty-year-old woman, walked out of the curtain, even if she was old, she was also an old beauty, wearing plain clothes, because she was not feeling well, she did not go to worship with Zhao Wuxian today, but held a small sacrifice in the palace.

"After shouting for a lifetime, how can you not shout? Is it possible to be like a farmer and peasant woman, call you old wife, or continue to call you sister? “

Although Ji Ying has been crowned the queen, Zhao Wuxian can't shout this word after the Southern Party Rebellion. Every time he heard this word, he would see a pair of aggrieved and angry eyes, she was also his wife!

Ji Huan didn't think too much about it, quenched him, and then asked about the situation on the emperor's side of the mausoleum, can the weeds still be cleared, and the offerings are still as usual?

She said that she was always afraid that if the offerings were not taken care of, the ghosts of Lingzi and Zhao Heng would come to her.

"This is the sin of the Southern Party, it is my sin, what does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Wuxian was unhappy, this was his scar, every time Ji Ying talked about it, he would not turn his head and not want to listen, for a while, the two were speechless.

The emperor who reigns over the world, can do whatever he wants, and the queen who is the mother of all the people, is so angry.

Although this palace is large and there are many people waiting, it always seems empty and lonely, so they are more like a pair of old men and women who depend on each other and have a short family......

I don't know how long it took, but Ji Huan sighed first, got up and stood behind Zhao Wuxian, and turned his head.

"Why?" Zhao Wuxian said angrily.

"The gray hair has grown back." Ji Huan's tone was very gentle, "I'll cut it for you?" “

"I can't cut it all the time, it's messy, what does he do?" Zhao Wuxian was impatient.

"Don't move, come here."

In the end, he obediently turned his head and was at the mercy of Ji Huan.

The old husband and wife, forty years later, the love between them has turned into family affection again, and the relationship between the two seems to have returned to the time when they were sisters and brothers, and back to the time when Zhao Wuxian gave the crown ceremony......

At that time, Ji Huan, who was dressed in red, personally combed Zhao Wuxian, who was sitting in front of the big bronze jian, combed his hair, wore jade, and changed his clothes. The girl's slender fingers, as thin as shallots, took the jade comb and slid down Zhao Wuxian's jet-black hair, combing neatly one by one, while stroking the scar on his neck......

Now, her hands are no longer young, and there are many wrinkles, but as gentle as before, she gently took off Zhao Wuxian's crown and pulled out the jade flute......

However, Zhao Wuxian snatched the jade flute and threw it far away! Fall and smash on the porch!

"Poof."

Ji Huan looked at the nervous Zhao Wuxian and couldn't help laughing.

Since the rebellion of the Southern Party five years ago, Zhao Wuxian has changed a lot, and the concrete embodiment is that every time she touches the hairpipe, Zhao Wuxian will take it away and keep it away from her, as if she is afraid that she will hurt herself with this object.

"The world doesn't know that the emperor of Dahao is afraid of the little hairpin like a tiger."

Ji Huan made fun of him, treating this as a quirk, and Zhao Wuxian never explained his reasons, just closed his eyes and let Ji Huan cut more and more gray hair for him, which could no longer be removed......

After a long time, Zhao Wuxian said slowly: "This time in the Southern Expedition to Chu and Yue, I don't plan to go on a personal expedition, I'm tired and old, it's time to take a break." I'm going to put Yan'er in charge......"

Ji Huan's hand trembled, then calmed down again, and tried to say in a flat tone: "Since he is the crown prince, he should take on state affairs." “

"Don't worry." Zhao Wuxian patted Ji Huan's hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "He is just sitting in Nanyang County, and if he has merit, he will go to the prince, and if he has a fault, he will go to the general, and there will be no danger." What's more, after twenty years of accumulation, Wang Shi is extremely powerful, ten times more powerful than the enemy, Chu Yue will inevitably surrender! When the world is settled, I will slowly step back from my position and let Yan'er preside over everything, so that you and I can swim in the mountains and rivers, and if you can't swim, you can also find a quiet place to build a palace and live your whole life. “

He glanced at Ji Huan's still dark hair, and laughed at himself: "But looking at this situation, I'm afraid that you will live longer than me......"

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Ji Huan grabbed Zhao Wuxian's hand and stopped his words.

Then, the two looked at each other......

It was as if looking back outside the stable, but it had spanned fifty years.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

The beauty is in the twilight, the hero is white, and no one has escaped the pursuit of time, but their relationship, as at the beginning, the ruthlessness of the heavenly family and the palace conspiracy have not affected the slightest.

But this peaceful and pleasant time could not last after all, and after a while, an attendant came to report that the great worker Cheng Luban was already waiting in the outer hall, and he had brought someone with him this time.

"What should come, will always come."

Zhao Wuxian laughed out loud, and asked Ji Huan to reorganize his hair for him, put on a crown, and become the cold emperor again.

He put on his robe, took a step, and walked outward, in high spirits, towards the moment he had been waiting for.

"Xuan, the public loses the son to meet you!"

In the palace of Wen County, there was a continuous summons.

"Xuan, the public loses the son to meet you!"

Outside the gate of the palace, Lu Ban walked into the hall with his hands behind his back and hummed angrily. The black-robed young man behind him smiled, calmly straightened his shirt, and handed the long-distance cane to the guard at the door, before he walked in......

"Mo Zhai, a contemptible man from afar, has seen His Majesty the Emperor!"

PS: Well, there is one last chapter in the afternoon, the finale
