Chapter 485: A Hundred Feuds of the Royal Family (Three Changes)

In the early morning, the sun rises in the east. Templars,

The golden morning glow shot out ten thousand golden rays, dyeing the entire cloud-covered sky golden red.

The morning glow sprinkled the earth, covering the solemn palace compound with a layer of golden edges.

The palace without people, empty. Tranquil and solemn. The palace that was dyed with a golden roof by the morning glow was like a fairy palace, adding a solemnity.

The square in front of the main hall was cleaned by the eunuchs who kept vigil. Not a single dead leaf.

It's winter now, and the smooth ground is covered with white frost mist.

The morning breeze brushed his cheeks with a slight chill. Still shivering from the cold.

His Royal Highness, the surface of the huge water tank was also robbed of a layer of white ice floe. From a distance, the frozen water tank looked like a smooth and bright mirror overnight.

The emperor took Yang Jiye and Li Dequan out of the Funing Palace, without saying anything all the way, and went towards the Daqing Palace.

As he reached the steps below the main hall, the emperor stopped, raised his head, and glanced at the water tanks neatly arranged outside the main hall. After smiling, he stepped over.

Walking to the tank, the Emperor stretched out his hand, rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fist, and gently slapped the ice on the water. Then, with a very warm smile on his face, he slowly soaked his hands into the icy cold water.

"Your Majesty, this water is too cold, be careful of getting cold!" Beside him, Li Dequan was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly ran over and persuaded worriedly.

The emperor did not listen to his persuasion, and stubbornly put his hand in. Then, the emperor picked up the ice water with both hands, gently picked it up, and threw it on his face.

After the icy cold water hit his face, the cold to the bone suddenly made the emperor shiver.

After rubbing his numb cheeks vigorously, the emperor took a deep breath, and the cold winter air suddenly poured into his heart. ，

There was a sense of relief, and even the sleepiness of that sleepless night disappeared a lot. The emperor was in a good mood, shook his hand, and laughed.

"Back then, I was also a general who led tens of thousands of troops to fight in the south and in the north. I haven't suffered anything. What is this cold water now? ”

The emperor took the handkerchief handed over by Li Dequan, wiped it, and gave it to him, laughing.

Beside him, after Li Dequan put on the handkerchief, he looked at His Majesty's heroic momentum and smiled helplessly.

The trio then walked up the steps.

When he walked to the gate of the Daqing Palace, the emperor who was walking in the front suddenly stopped.

There was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, a hint of apprehension, and a look like a child who had scored a perfect score, with a hint of pride, waiting for his parents to praise him. He looked fixedly at the closed wooden door of the hall, and did not dare to take a step for a long time.

"Your Majesty!" Li Dequan looked puzzled, standing at the door of the main hall, but the emperor hesitated. After thinking about it, he stepped forward to open the door for His Majesty.

"Wait!" The emperor hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, licked his lips, took a deep breath, and said uneasily: "Wait a minute, I, I am a little panicked!" Let me be quiet! ”

The emperor stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the gilded gate, nervous. Lowering his head, he carefully and attentively sorted out the bright yellow dragon robe on his body.

Then he seriously took a lot of his appearance, and it was not until he confirmed that he was extremely solemn that the emperor took a deep breath, stretched out his slightly trembling hand, and pushed open the gilded door of the main hall.

With a squeak, the door of the main hall was gently opened.

What catches your eye is a very solemn palace.

In the center, a dragon chair made of pure gold shines. The screens on both sides are carved with dragons and phoenixes, swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, lifelike. And directly above the dragon chair, there is a gold plaque.

Above, the four big characters of Siyi surrender are strong and powerful, exuding an incomparably solemn atmosphere. ，

In the main hall, there was silence and emptiness, and there was no one.

The sunlight shining in from the door added a touch of color to the slightly dimly lit hall.

The plaque hanging high on the dome, in this faint light, looks more sacred and solemn.

After taking a deep breath, the Emperor stretched out his hand, lifted the front hem of the dragon robe, and carefully stepped over the high threshold. The gentle movements, extremely cautious, as if I was afraid of soiling the dragon robe.

After stepping on the threshold, the emperor walked steadily step by step, and did not stop until he reached the dragon chair.

Then, under the surprised eyes of Li Dequan and Yang Jiye, the emperor lifted his dragon robe and slowly knelt down.

After Li Dequan and Yang Jiye glanced at each other, they hurriedly knelt on the ground with the emperor.

The Emperor took a deep breath and pointed to the plaque hanging above the dragon chair. It was hard to hide the excitement in his heart, and he said tremblingly: "Do you know? That plaque is my imperial grandfather. Emperor Shenzong personally inscribed. ”

"In the third year of Shengwu, my Great Zhou army was defeated by Yanmen. The Turkic iron cavalry drove straight in. It didn't stop until it was by the Yellow River. At that time, the Turkic khanate pointed at Chang'an and threatened, if I Da Zhou could not give a satisfactory answer to the Turks. They washed Chang'an in blood. The emperor clutched his fists, his face was excited, and he said in a deep voice: "Later, Emperor Shenzong had to endure humiliation and bear the burden for the sake of the Great Zhou Sheji and the people of Chang'an, and promised the Turks a tribute of 10,000 taels of gold for one year. And, in order to appease the Turks, Emperor Shenzong gave his favorite youngest daughter, Princess Wuyang, to the Turkic Khan. And the Turkic Khan ......"

Speaking of this, the emperor seemed to think of something extremely cruel, and his face became hideous and terrifying. Clenched his fists vigorously, gritted his teeth and said: "And that Turkic Khan, after getting Princess Wuyang, actually pushed Princess Wuyang, who was only twelve years old at the time, into the Yellow River in front of Emperor Shenzong. Emperor Shenzong, as well as the crown prince at that time, my father, and, and I, watched Princess Wuyang drown alive in the Yellow River. All the time, I kept looking at the corpse of Princess Wuyang, drifting down. ”

"So, what about later?" Yang Jiye raised his sleeves and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Qi Qi asked.

The emperor raised his head, took a deep breath, and said with a miserable smile: "Later, the satisfied Turks, with countless gold, silver and jewels, withdrew from the Great Zhou. And not long after my imperial grandfather, Emperor Shenzong, returned to the palace, he was killed because of his beloved daughter, and he died in depression! “

"When he was dying, Emperor Shenzong took my father and me. Called to the hospital bed. After struggling to get up, his hands trembled. Write this plaque! In the end, Emperor Shenzong's eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness, and he grabbed his father's neck. used up the last bit of strength, roaring, let his father avenge him, avenge Da Zhou! ”

Speaking of this, the emperor's eyes were full of tears, and he glanced at the four big characters of Siyi surrender hanging high above the dragon chair, and the emperor sighed for a long time.

thought of his beloved concubine and concubine, Rong Guifei, who married the Turks one after another.

The emperor was heartbroken.

Shaking his head, the emperor shook his hands, took out the military newspaper that he cherished so much from his arms, slowly unfolded it, and raised his hands above his head.

Tears of excitement flowed from his closed eyes.

His face was full of bitter smiles and happiness, his body trembled, his body was slightly subdued, and he kowtowed heavily to the plaque.

"Grandpa Huang, today, today" After the emperor shouted, his voice was already choked, and tears were already streaming down his old cheeks.

"Grandson, I've avenged you!" After the emperor roared this, he had exhausted all his strength. Lying on the ground weakly, his forehead pressed against the cold ground, crying bitterly.

"Grandson, I've avenged you, I've avenged Da Zhou!"

In the silent and empty hall, only the emperor's painful cry echoed for a long time.

In the quiet sunshine, the emperor kneeling on the ground is no longer the majestic Ninety-Five, but a lonely old man who has had a deep hatred of blood for decades, and now he has been rewarded.

Behind him, Yang Jiye raised his head, looked at the old man kneeling on the ground, raised his head, and looked at the glittering golden light of Siyi's surrender, four big characters, blood boiling.

……

The news of the great victory in Yanmen, after the court meeting, spread to the entire Great Zhou with lightning speed.

In the winter of the fifth year of Qingyuan, in the counties of the Great Zhou, soldiers could be seen running everywhere.

Moreover, the Lord Qincha sent by the imperial court clearly told him that the hundred taels of gold would definitely be sent to the families of the military martyrs. If anyone dares to embezzle and withhold, no matter how big or small the official rank, he will be killed.

And in the north of Shaanxi.
