This sudden snowstorm not only swept Luoyang, but also fell in Xiangyang, Jingzhou. Although it was already late at night, with the dim moonlight, it was still possible to see that Xiangyang City was already covered in silver. The snow covered Xiangyang City, and it also temporarily hid the ugliness unknown to people in Xiangyang City......

In the palace of the king of Chu in Xiangyang City, Jingzhou, countless heavily armed soldiers of the Chu army have one sentry in ten steps and one post in five steps. Groups of soldiers of the Chu army with swords in their hands held torches, constantly cruising in the mansion, their vigilant eyes swept from the shadows in the corners of the wall from time to time, as if they were facing a great enemy.

In Chu Wangwei's study, on the throne that originally belonged to Chu Wangwei, at this moment sat Chu Wangwei's eldest son, Sima Fan. The dim light in the room flickered gently, reflecting Sima Fan's face, which was somewhat similar to Sima Ting and Sima Yi.

Although there was heavy snow outside the study, there was a stove in the study, which made people feel warm, as warm as spring in March. It's just that this stove can warm people's bodies, but it can't warm Sima Fan's heart that has become cold......

Sima Fan picked up a secret letter on the desk with an expressionless face, and then looked at the shocking big characters on the letter: On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the king of Chu was buried in Xiling!

His father died and was buried in Xiling, never to return to Xiangyang City, where he had lived for decades. Hehe, never coming back...... And the queen mother and all your brothers and sisters, you won't come back, will you? Now Jingzhou finally belongs to me Sima Fan alone!

Just, why do I feel so lonely? Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, how lively the Chu King's Mansion was in the past! This year, I'm the only one...... Am I really doing something wrong? ……

No! No! I'm not wrong with Sima Fan! If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed! Father, didn't you educate your sons like this?! If I Sima Fan doesn't fight this one, will everything here still belong to my Sima Fan? Hehe, when Lao Qi takes over your hegemony, will he still be able to tolerate me Sima Fan?! …… No!

Father! Why are you so eccentric! I'm the firstborn! I am the prince of Chu Wangfu! I should have been the one who came to Beijing with you! It should be me! Instead of the milky old seven!

The grief-stricken Sima Fan let out a silent roar in his heart, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye......

Don't blame me, Father...... Don't blame me, Queen Mother...... There are also two brothers, four sisters, and six sisters...... Don't blame me...... I don't want that either. However, if I don't do this, I, Sima Fan, will be just an inconspicuous nobody in the world in the future.

The big man should lift three feet and stand between heaven and earth!

How can you be bound by the affection of your children! Think back then, didn't Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, also abandon his wife and children? However, Liu Bang is standing at the highest peak in the world! I, Sima Fan, can exterminate all human feelings today, what else in this world can make it difficult for my Sima Fan?!

No! No! No!

Sima Fan's hand holding the secret letter shrank suddenly, stirring the secret letter into a ball. He understands that when he decides to betray his mother, he has no way to turn back, and on this road, he will either become a king or be defeated! ……

Sima Ting Huo Ran got up and shouted, "Someone! ”

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a figure appeared in front of the confined door, and said respectfully: "The prince of the world, please command!" ”

Sima Fan's face showed a fierce look, and he said in a deep voice: "Immediately mobilize the elite of the three thousand Chu army, go out of the city overnight, and lay down at various traffic points outside the city for a hundred miles. ”

"No!"

Hearing the footsteps outside the door gradually fading away, Sima Fan slowly took out a "family letter" signed by Princess Chu from his arms, smiled contemptuously, and put the letter in the candlelight. The tongue of fire devoured the letter in an instant, and at the same time, it also devoured all the friendship between Sima Fan and this family......

Diametrically opposed to the silence of the Chu Palace, the Taiji Hall of the Imperial City of Luoyang is singing and dancing at the moment, and the piano resonates...... A joyous scene.

It turned out that the ** sacred court Taiji Palace, after an order from Empress Jia, became the wedding hall of Sima Ting and Princess Qinghe. I don't know if Emperor Wu would have suddenly changed his body if he had learned of Empress Jia's absurd behavior, sat up in anger from the imperial coffin, vomited three liters of blood, and died again......

However, in the current Luoyang City, no one stood up against Empress Jia's move. On the contrary, there are not a few sycophants who sing praises and praise Jia. After all, under someone like Empress Jia, it is impossible to come up with a few upright and good ministers.

In any case, at this time, the Taiji Hall was full of joy and celebration. After three bows and nine bows, Sima Ting, dressed as a fiery groom, was receiving wave after wave of persuasion from a new batch of powerful people in the DPRK and China.

Sima Ting did not refuse, he accepted all the orders, one bottle after another, and he didn't know how many bottles he had drunk for a while. It's just that he relied on his strong internal strength to resist the bursts of alcohol that swept through his mind......

He can't get drunk! …… But it's pretending to be drunk...... Sima Ting drank several bottles of fine wine in one go, and suddenly raised the bottle to the sky, facing the princes and ministers who were full of mismatches, and laughed wantonly.

Jia Hou, who was sitting in the back seat and exchanging glasses with Emperor Hui, was attracted by Sima Ting's unbridled laughter. The smile on Empress Jia's face gradually receded, and he put the wine bottle in front of him, Huo Ran got up, looked closely at Sima Ting, who was surrounded by a group of Luoyang magnates, and said lightly: "Dong Meng, Prince Ting is drunk." Help him to Qinghe Palace. ”

Dong Meng, who was standing beside Empress Jia, glanced at Sima Ting in the crowd, a smile appeared on his face, he bowed his head and promised, walked down the stairs, and walked quickly towards Sima Ting.

Along the way, countless princes and nobles greeted Dong Meng enthusiastically, who will be hot in the future, and Dong Meng's face was like a spring breeze, nodding in return from time to time, and his heart was very useful. Dong Meng couldn't help but sigh that this was the right bet, otherwise how could these guys, who have always been above the top, be so enthusiastic, calling themselves one by one? !

Dong Meng smiled with a smile on his face, came to Sima Ting's side, and bowed slightly to the princes and nobles around Sima Ting, and all the princes and nobles were busy returning the salute.

Dong Meng smiled proudly and teased: "Ladies and gentlemen, Prince Ting is going to drink all the wine in the palace tonight!" ”

All the princes and nobles laughed together, and Zhao Wanglun's domineering aura was gone at the moment, and he put on a flattering villain's face, and said with a smile on his face: "Prince Ting is massive." Won't get drunk, won't get drunk! ”

Dong Meng smiled and said, "King Zhao is right. But Princess Qinghe is still waiting for His Royal Highness Prince Ting in Qinghe Palace......"

Zhao Wanglun and the others all showed expressions of sudden realization.

Dong Meng turned his head to look at Sima Ting and said with a smile: "Prince Ting, let the servants lead His Royal Highness to Qinghe Palace." Presumably, Princess Qinghe is in a hurry at the moment. ”

Sima Ting glanced at Dong Meng, and suddenly his feet slipped with pretense of slipping, and the whole person hung on Dong Meng's body, and a mouthful of wine sprayed on Dong Meng's face, and said, "Then, it will trouble Gonggong Dong." ”

Dong Meng's expression froze, and he immediately showed a bright smile again, nodded to everyone, called a few little eunuchs, and helped Sima Ting out of the Taiji Hall together.
