King Liu of the Song Dynasty has been diligent since he was a child, and everyone in Kyushu knows it. The Song Kingdom has been holding a court meeting for 14 years, but in recent days, it has been stopped for no reason. The reason for the resignation was only known to Prime Minister Ling Mo, who was sitting in the White Jade Palace's Dream Pavilion at this time.

Summer has passed and autumn, the red leaves have not fallen, but the jade capital suddenly turned cold. Liu had a menacing wind chill. At first I had a headache and nasal congestion, then I had a constant cough and couldn't sleep at night. He had not been sick for fourteen years, but suddenly collapsed, and he had been sick in the palace for more than three days.

Prime Minister Ling Mo sat in front of the golden gauze curtain, and Liu Ze lay sideways on the warm couch behind the golden gauze curtain, draped in a snow silk quilt produced by Chu Guoxian Hu, and his eyes were lowered.

The lungs itched, Liu couldn't help coughing a few times, and then sighed: "Ling Xiang, the widow is so sick at such a young age, he has really become the laughing stock of the world!" ”

Ling Mo comforted: "Your Highness has been working hard for more than ten years, just by taking advantage of the occasional cold, you don't have to worry about it for a few days." His Royal Highness's dragon body is strong, and it is cold, so it will definitely get better soon. ”

Liu sat up on the couch and said with a dry smile: "In this way, the widow has to thank this evil wind and cold, which is rare for the widow to experience a few days of idleness." However, since Ling Xiang came, there must be something important to do, so how could the widow be idle? ”

Ling Mo said: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the old minister came to disturb him, and there is really something important to do." ”

Liu sighed again and said, "They all say that the widow is a 'kingship madman', but who knows that all the 'important things' are more important than the widow's body and the widow's own wishes?" That's it! What is Ling Xiang's matter? ”

Ling Mo replied: "Your Highness, the informant of the Chu realm came to report that not long ago, the seven kings of the Chu State disappeared one by one, one after another, and later the informant learned that the seven kings secretly gathered in the mansion of King Yuling Sheng, in order to unify the Chu land and reopen the Linjiang Zhaohuang Palace. Even Queen Chen's biological mother, Lin Yao, the eldest princess of Chu who had lived in seclusion for more than ten years, appeared in King Sheng's mansion. Some people even saw Lin Long, the ninth princess of Chu State, that is, Concubine Lin, who was given death by His Royal Highness a while ago, often going in and out of King Sheng's mansion. From this point of view, the gathering of the nine sons of King Chu You does have the intention of reviving the Chu State. Today, it is estimated that the seven kings of Chu have probably arrived in the capital of Linjiang. ”

Liu lightly stroked the thin quilt of the Chu State Immortal Hu Snow Silkworm draped on his body, and thought in his heart: "Shu'er, it has only been less than half a year since you and your mother returned to the Chu State, and the disaster of the Seven Kings that has poisoned the Chu Realm for twelve years is about to end. If it's a coincidence, do you think I'll believe it? ”

Ling Mo continued: "Your Highness, seeing that the Chu realm is about to be unified, although my Song State is strong and the people are rich, but the Wei State has poached our Jing'an County, and Chen and Shu have formed an alliance with Qi Wei Fu**, if the Chu State is in collusion with Qi Wei Chen Shu again, the Song State will be facing enemies on all sides!" ”

Liu chuckled: "Don't worry. The widow has a plan, but he can ensure that the state of Chu does not collude with Qi Wei Chen Shu. ”

"Your Highness, please speak."

Liu Dao: "Actually, it is difficult for the seven kings to gather together, although they want to unify the Chu realm, but after the reopening of the Zhaohuang Palace, who will be the king of Chu?" The candidate for the king of Chu, they must have a hard time choosing. Even if it is temporarily decided to be King Sheng, among the other six kings, there will be dissenting hearts. The outnumbered Tengyong army guarded Yide, which was in the east, only a hundred miles away from the capital of Chu. The widow gave the tiger talisman to Ling Xiang, and Ling Xiang could lead 100,000 Song soldiers to the east to deter the seven kings of Chu and force them to respect only King Sheng. As long as King Sheng successfully ascended the throne, there was no possibility of an alliance between the Chu State and the Qi Wei Army Alliance to defeat the Song Dynasty. ”

Ling Mo was puzzled: "How did His Highness expect that after King Sheng ascended the throne, he would not form an alliance with Qi Wei to defeat the Song Dynasty?" ”

Liu replied: "The other six kings are unpredictable, but there is a person in the Shengwang Mansion who will definitely not let this happen." Only this one person can defeat the army of the four kingdoms of Qi Wei Chen Shu. ”

Shu'er, your husband who defended the country first-class, abandoned you only because of the gossip between you and me, how could you go and form an alliance with him to attack the Song Kingdom? Even if he hadn't divorced you, with the unchanging friendship between you and me, you wouldn't have formed an alliance with anyone to fight the Song.

If you mistakenly believe in your life experience, you will be involved in Qi Weifu**. Wait for me to help your uncle ascend the throne of the king of Chu, and wait for you to become the princess of Chu...... Song and Chu have been friends for generations, and there has never been a war, so you and I have formed a Song and Chu marriage alliance to reach Qi Wei Chen Shu together, and I can also help you out of a bad breath.

The autumn is high and the clouds are light, and in the Zhaohuang Palace of Linjiang in the Chu State, the thousands of fan leaves on the ancient ginkgo trees are as bright as gilt.

King Chu You once had nearly 100 beauties in the harem and many children, among which the seven most outstanding sons caused the disaster of the seven kings of Chu Realm. Today's Zhaohuang Palace gathered more than 20 children of King Chu You, and more relatives of the grandchildren of King Chu You came together.

It goes without saying that the seven kings suddenly appeared together in Zhaohuang Palace, stopping the war and reshaping the heart of the Chu State. A group of civil and military veterans who were loyal to King Chu You came uninvited, and there were also a lot of capable ministers and guests in the Seven Kings County, leaving only the generals who led the troops to guard the counties in case of accidents.

For a time, the capable men and wise men of the Chu State gathered in Zhaohuang Palace, and the literati and writers also came to Linjiang City to witness this grand event of reopening Zhaohuang and the new king's accession to the throne.

Shengwang Lin Lang holds the jade seal in his hand, the crown hangs the jade, the dark red dragon robe is added, the four-foot Guyue sword is hung on the waist, and he accepts the worship of the people of Linjiang on the tower of the Nansheng Gate of Zhaohuang Palace, and then enters the Zhaohuang Palace, under the witness of the king's relatives and relatives, civil and military officials, step by step to the Qianqiu Hall of the Hundred Officials of the Hundred Officials in the past.

In order to celebrate the reopening of Zhaohuang, a folk song was recently sung in Linjiang City:

The civil and military game of the Thousand Autumn Palace,

Emperor Zhao was prosperous for a hundred years.

The prince's heart is clear,

Chu Yue unified Qing Anning.

Although this ballad praises the century-old prosperity created by King Zhao of Chu, it is intended to remind the new King of Chu that only opening the Zhaohuang Palace without creating another prosperous era is not the so-called "reopening of Zhaohuang". After King Chu Zhao unified Chu Yue, he built the capital Linjiang, repaired the Zhaohuang Palace, recruited the world's wise men, accepted the Ming advice, dominated by force, and Wen'an Bang, among the kings of the countries, only the king of Chu Zhao Lin had the word "emperor" in his nickname.

King Sheng Lin Lang held the jade seal used by King Chu Zhao in his hand, and he felt extremely heavy.

Qianqiu Hall came into view, Lin Lang saw the brothers and nephews standing in front of the hall, and saw the queen Su Qin and the eldest sister Lin Jiao and the ninth sister Lin Long standing together, the prince Lin Ying and the prime minister Dongfang Yu standing together, and behind Dongfang Yu stood the two children of Shu'er and Shou'er.

Lin Lang smiled at Lin Ying with relief and stepped up the jade steps in front of the Qianqiu Palace.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was not the jade seal in his hand that was heavy, but a churning sensation in his abdomen. Before he could think about it, the smell of blood had already rushed from his chest to his throat.

A pool of blood stained the jade steps in front of the Qianqiu Palace.

The dragon chair was close in front of him, and Lin Lang raised his steps to continue to climb the jade steps, but his consciousness was suddenly unstable, and his eyes were in a trance, as if the sky was spinning. He fell on the jade steps, and blood kept pouring out of his mouth, staining the jade steps, but he couldn't stain the already dark red dragon robe of the Chu State.

The jade seal of the country slipped from his hand and fell under the jade steps.

Everyone was shocked, and they all wanted to step forward to find out, only to hear Prime Minister Dongfang Yu's order: "The palace guards listen to the order!" His Royal Highness is sick, except for the prince and ministers, those who approach His Royal Highness will be killed! ”

In an instant, on the palace walls and houses, many archers suddenly appeared, and the arrows pointed at the prince's relatives and civil and military officials in front of the Qianqiu Palace.
