June 3, 10th year of Yuanhe, early morning, Chengdu.

Xue Tao, the most famous talented woman in the Yuan and He periods, had a strange dream. In her dream, she looked at the distant Chang'an. On the outskirts of Chang'an, on the shore of Qujiang Pond, the pear blossoms are blooming brightly, but suddenly, one by one, they fall one by one, and they fall into a dead branch, and the ground is snow-white. Stepping on the falling flowers in the garden, a man as plump as jade slowly walked towards her. It's him, her lover, Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng! He is still the usual white clothes, there is still a gentle and lonely smile on his handsome face, his expression is as free and easy as ever, his steps are as light as ever, his mouth seems to be chanting poetry, by the way, it is the one he wrote to me: "The moon is heavy and the silk tube is autumn, and the beauty sings Guliangzhou at night." The hall is full of who is a bosom friend, and he will not hesitate to spend a lot of money and no worries". He still thinks of me and thinks of me! He is the prime minister, and he still thinks and thinks about me, a woman in the green building! But how could a dark red stain appear on his white clothes, how could it be? He has always been a very clean person! Why, the dark red stains are gradually increasing, one or two ......, one or two ......, how did his favorite white clothes turn into a nasty dark red? How come I can't see his wise and noble head?

Waking up from the nightmare, Xue Tao suddenly had an ominous premonition, my lover, are you okay?

On June 3, the tenth year of Yuanhe, in the early morning, Chang'an, Zhuque Street, the east gate of Jing'anfang.

The day was about to break, the night was already dark, and Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng, surrounded by more than a dozen guards and entourage, rode slowly on the wide Suzaku Street. The road leading to Daming Palace under his feet, Wu Yuanheng is very familiar. Because, at this time of the day, he will pass through this Suzaku Street and go to the morning court. The road is still very long, I didn't have a good rest last night, and there is still a little time to make up for a little sleep, so that I can recharge my energy and deal with those anxious state affairs, large and small, as well as the war in Huaixi. Wu Yuanheng closed his eyes, but he seemed to see a graceful figure, it was Xue Tao, my confidante. A sweet smile appeared on Wu Yuanheng's face, and her crisp and melodious poetic voice seemed to sound in his ears: "There is frost at night in the water country, and the moon is cold and the mountains are vast. Who said that thousands of miles from this night, away from the dream is like a long stopper". It was a love poem, a love poem she wrote to him.

Ahead, not far away, there are several large trees. Although his eyes were closed, Wu Yuanheng could clearly judge his itinerary. No, it seems a bit abnormal today, there seems to be something in the air that seems to be there, what is it? Why do you feel inexplicably uneasy and afraid?

"Extinguish the candle", it seems that someone is conveying some instructions.

"Who? Move! The guard scolded sharply, and before the words fell, there was a sound of feather arrows breaking through the air in the air, and with a muffled sound of "poof", a feather arrow was nailed to Wu Yuanheng's shoulder. A sharp pain struck, and Wu Yuanheng suddenly understood what was in the air, by the way, it was murderous, murderous aura everywhere! It seems that he is in a catastrophe. It's okay, a wry smile brushed Wu Yuanheng's handsome face, and I can finally take a good rest. It's just that Huaixi is not peaceful, I am a little unwilling, "I die before I get out of the school, and the hero is full of tears", I can't see the bright future of Yuanhe Zhongxing. Your Majesty, you must not be intimidated by the despicable deeds of these petty people, I believe in you, you are a rare Ming monarch and hero; Pei Du, the burden of pacifying Huaixi will be handed over to you, don't let me down; Xue Tao, my lover, I can't accompany you anymore, cherish.

With a loud "bang", a wooden hammer hit Wu Yuanheng's left leg hard, Wu Yuanheng looked around blankly, his guards and retinue had been killed by the assassins, leaving only his own lonely person, and a few corpses on the ground. Wu Yuanheng smiled sadly, his eyes fixed on the big trees in front of him, which were supposed to be the assassin's hiding place. Sure enough, more than a dozen black shadows fell from the shadows of the trees, holding a bright sword in their hands, and rushed to Wu Yuanheng's face, when the sharp sword crossed his neck, Wu Yuanheng suddenly remembered his new poem last night, "The night is noisy and resting, and the pond is only moonlight." There is no reason to stay in Qingjing, and the sunrise is still alive". "The sunrise is still alive", is this a legendary proverb? A wry smile bloomed on Wu Yuanheng's handsome face, stiff and frozen.

By the time the slain guards called for help, the Assassin was nowhere to be found, leaving only a headless corpse lying in a pool of blood! A staunch supporter of the use of force to cut the domain, a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, a famous poet of the late Tang Dynasty, and the first beautiful man in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Yuanheng, was assassinated in this way! Not only did a dozen Assassins escape unscathed, but they also took the Prime Minister's head!

In the era of Yuanhe, which is full of light and stars, Wu Yuanheng is a unique existence. Looking up at the historical starry sky during the Yuanhe period, the constellation representing Wu Yuanheng may not be the most dazzling, but it must be the most gorgeous.

Wu Yuanheng is a noble person with noble blood flowing in his bones. His great-grandfather was the younger brother of a generation of empress Wu Zetian, and his grandfather and father were all famous people for a while. The infiltration of generations of scholars has made Wu Yuanheng have an innate aristocratic temperament.

The noble Wu Yuanheng is an arrogant person, and no amount of high-ranking officials, any coercion and temptation, or any slander and abuse can make him lower his arrogant head. When "Second King Liu Liu" was in the limelight, Wang Shuwen made people tempted to think that the party, he refused, Liu Yuxi begged him to be a judge, he still did not agree, his resolute attitude offended the hot Wang Shuwen, but was seen by the then prince Li Chun in his eyes and remembered in his heart; In the eighth year of Yuanhe, the dispute between Li Jifu and Li Jiang between the two Li intensified, and the ministers had their own dependence, but Wu Yuanheng, who had just returned to Chang'an, held the right view and did not violate it, and the Son of Heaven regarded him as the elder; In order to save Huaixi, Wang Chengzong jumped up and down, doing his best to slander and abuse, and the spearhead was pointed at Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng, but Wu Yuanheng was unmoved; Li Shidao fanned the flames everywhere to carry out assassinations, and the atmosphere of terror enveloped the entire Chang'an City, and Wu Yuanheng did not flinch.

The arrogant Wu Yuanheng is actually a person with a gentle personality, he has no personal enmity, and he has only one kind of enemy, the public enemy of the country. As long as he wasn't in court, he always had a charming smile on his face, and the vicious assassins could cut off his noble head, but they couldn't erase the intoxicating smile on his face. That time, when he was the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, at the banquet, the drunk Xichuan engaged in Yang Si to do a very outrageous thing, poured wine on Wu Yuanheng's white clothes one by one, and kept saying that he wanted to use wine to bathe you. Wu Yuanheng had that charming smile on his face, and he didn't move until he finished pouring the wine, then he slowly stood up, smiled faintly, changed into a white shirt, and participated in the drinking party with a smile. It was at this banquet that Wu Yuanheng met his confidante for the first time, the Qinglou courtesan and the famous talented girl, Xue Tao.

Wu Yuanheng, who has a gentle personality, is a talented poet. His poetry style is elegant, clear and rhythmic, and it was very popular at the time. Every time a new poem is released, it will be composed into a song by the good deed, and it will be widely sung. Zhang Wei's "Poet Host and Guest Map" is divided into six factions and poets, each with a master, a number of guests such as ascending to the hall, entering the room, and the door, with Wu Yuanheng as the strange and beautiful master, and Bai Juyi is equally famous, Liu Yuxi is still under it, which shows the great influence of his poetry.

The talented poet Wu Yuanheng was a suave man. He is white-clothed and snowy, and his clothes are fluttering; He is delicate and handsome, and his abundance is like jade; He behaved elegantly and politely; He is eloquent and eloquent, and his poems are full of ...... Of course, the most important thing is that his charming smile and somewhat lonely and melancholy eyes have captured the hearts of countless girls and become the public lover of many talented women. He doesn't pursue "winning the name of Qinglou Bo Xing", but he doesn't mind rubbing the spark of love with those famous prostitutes in Qinglou. His lingering and sympathetic affair with Xue Tao, a talented woman of a generation, made Bai Juyi, a great writer on the side, envious and embarrassed.

The suave Wu Yuanheng is a lonely person. Loneliness comes from loneliness, and loneliness comes from the difficulty of finding a soulmate. Wu Yuanheng is a person who is elegant and dignified, indifferent to receiving things, and does not like poetry and wine to entertain and usher in the sophistication of the people who are sent to him. Poetry, hops, rhymes, summoning and feasting, for Wu Yuanheng, who is in a high position, is a scene that has to be entertained. Impromptu poetry is certainly not a difficult task for the talented Wu Yuanheng, but Wu Yuanheng, who is clean and self-conscious, does not really like this flashy atmosphere. We seem to be able to see that at the very lively wine banquet, in the midst of a staggered situation, Wu Yuanheng sat quietly in a corner, with a gentle and polite smile on his face, and softly sang the poem "Who is the bosom friend in the hall".

The lonely Wu Yuanheng is actually an outstanding politician. Although Gao Chongwen, who became famous in World War I, had the merit of leveling Shu, he was only a general who "went on the horse to govern the army", and he could not be the local governor who "dismounted to govern the people", so he had to resign from the post of Xichuan Jiedu envoy. This poses a problem for Chang'an, because Shu has just been pacified, and once the successor is not properly handled, it is easy to provoke new changes. Li Chun slowly swept over the faces of the ministers, and finally fell on Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng. The next day, Li Chun issued an edict appointing Wu Yuanheng as the secretary of the school department, and also the servant of the door and the secretary of Tongping Zhangshi, and served as the envoy of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival. When Gao Chongwen left Chengdu, he was full of military funds and antiques, and Shu was empty. After Wu Yuanheng arrived, he did not complain about the heavens and people, selected talents, went down to the people, appeased the barbarians outside, cultivated a clean government internally, and lived a frugal life, and soon won the praise of the people of Shu. Three years later, the land of Shu was completely realized, and the barbarians returned.

The Huaixi Campaign had just begun, but the prime minister Li Jifu, who advocated the use of troops, died suddenly, Wu Yuanheng silently took over this historical burden, and vowed to carry out the Huaixi Campaign to the end, because he knew that this was a God-given opportunity for the Zhongxing Tang Empire, and he must not give up halfway. At that time, the three major feudal towns of Huaixi, Chengde, and Ziqing colluded with each other, and bribed the ministers of the imperial court with heavy money, echoing each other.

People have shortcomings, Du Huangshang's shortcoming is that he is a little greedy for yellow and white things, Li Jifu's shortcoming is too utilitarian, and Li Jiang is too idealistic. And Wu Yuanheng's biggest shortcoming is that there are no shortcomings. For Du Huangshang, Fan Zhen thought about bribery; A small conspiracy, a policy case in the third year of Yuan He, drove Li Jifu out of Chang'an; A rumor of party strife made Li Jiang excited, and he confessed over and over again, but the result became darker and darker, and finally he had to leave the capital obediently; For Wu Yuanheng, for Wu Yuanheng, who has no shortcomings, all political means are ineffective, and in the end, they only have one way, the only way, to kill him, of course, the most despicable assassination!
