Jingguo, the country in the southeast of the mainland. It was prosperous for a while, and then declined, and until now, it is like a zhongxing.

Jingguo Capital, Jingdu. In the southeast corner, close to the city wall, there is a dilapidated urban area, called "coarse cloth lane", although it is called "lane", but it does not refer to a street and alley, but a radius of three or four miles is named after this, there is a long and horizontal inside, a small road and a lane, but there is no official name. Just because this is a "slum" for the poor to live in, the poor are cheap. Even if they are poor and lowly, do they still need those officials and lords of the capital to be patient, running around a broken street and a poor alley to visit and name it? Therefore, the people of Jingdu collectively call this place "Coarse Cloth Alley", and even the official records are written like this.

In this "coarse cloth alley", in an inconspicuous corner, there is a small courtyard, which is not big or small, but it is mysteriously tight. Different from the surrounding mess, the streets around this small courtyard are unusually clean, as if this small courtyard has a strange magic, and those sewage and dirty mud cannot be approached. Even the most powerful snake in the "Coarse Cloth Alley" can't figure out the bottom of this yard after many inquiries. If they can't figure it out, then they will dispel some thoughts that they shouldn't have, and they will be okay with each other, and they will be fine. So until today, the area around this small courtyard has been a little clean and clean.

The small courtyard is famous, and there is a small and not small plaque hanging at the door, which reads: "Plum Garden".

It was an ordinary garden name, but because of the word "child" at the end, it became frivolous, and it seemed a little funny. The ordinary courtyard seems to have become no longer ordinary, adding a bit of weirdness.

"Plum Garden" is as famous as its garden, and it really has plums. Especially in this cold winter, there are still a few red plums, unwilling to be lonely, forced themselves to stretch out their heads, over the high courtyard wall, and look at the scenery outside the courtyard.

A few red plums were greedy for the scenery outside the wall, but they didn't know that a young man was standing under the plums in the courtyard, looking at them quietly.

......

The young man is dressed in a snow-white brocade dress, with red lips and white teeth, handsome and extraordinary, as if he is a fairy figure who came out of the painting, no matter how many words of praise in the world, he cannot describe the handsomeness of the young man, this person should only be in the sky, how many times can I see it in the world?

The young man is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is already very lovable, if he grows up, he is afraid that if he walks around the streets of this mirror capital, he will attract countless girls and beautiful women to watch, and he will be killed alive.

If you take a closer look, especially the eyebrows, it is really good-looking.

It's just that at this time...... The two sword eyebrows that should have been straight into the sky were lazily hanging on their eyes at this time. In a pair of black and white eyes, at this time, there was a bit of age-inappropriate banter light, and he was very cunning. The thin lips and corners of the mouth, like a ruffian, playfully bent upwards slightly. The young man stood under the plum tree with a slight lean, and the whole person revealed a hooligan energy, which was completely incompatible with his heroic and handsome appearance, and it was indescribably awkward and weird.

Just such a young man, standing under the plum tree, staring with interest at the plum blossoms of "red apricot out of the wall", as if he was watching a very interesting thing, this scene is really indescribably weird.

"Rustle"

The young man heard footsteps coming from behind him, turned back with a smile, and saw a woman walking towards him with a blue bag, and the woman's arm was still wearing a patched coarse cloth garment.

The young man's eyes bent and he smiled even more happily.

"Good sister, you can keep me waiting. The young man's voice is like clear water and jade, and it is indescribably gentle and good.

Look at the woman again, melon seed face, willow eyebrows, tall figure, graceful figure, although she is dressed as a subordinate, between her gestures, she actually shows a bit of gentle and generous temperament.

The woman didn't reply, and with a wry smile, she handed the package and ragged clothes in her hand to the young man.

The young man didn't say a word, first left the package on the ground on the side, and then began to untie his clothes in the courtyard, ready to change the rag clothes.

The gentle woman seemed to have seen too much of this nonsense scene, and she didn't react much, but her expression was a little hesitant. In the moment when the young man changed his clothes, he tried to persuade him three or four times, but he endured it in the end.

After the young man finished changing his clothes, he pulled the package from the ground, carried it on his body randomly, scattered his neat hair, tied a knot on the top of his head at will, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and wiped it on his white jade-like face. After he did this, he smiled at the gentle woman with some smugness, and asked mysteriously, "Are you ready?"

The gentle woman sighed, "Well, it's all prepared as you ordered, young master." ”

"Hey, that's it. Where's their girl?"

"Playing cards in the inner room is the new set of rules you taught yesterday, young master. ”

"It's a good thing to pass the time. But these few, heartless girls, young master, I'm leaving, and I don't know how to send them ......"

"Isn't it young master that you want to hide, why don't I go and call a few of them out now?"

The young man seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand again and again, "Good sister, don't don't, I'll just say it casually, if I really let a few of them know, don't cry and shout, I ......want to die or live, I can't stand it."

The gentle woman thought about the flower-like sisters in the inner room, and looked at the young man's respectful appearance, and finally was amused to cover her mouth and laugh.

"You can be regarded as laughing, seeing the way you looked just now, I am really afraid that you will cry and cry the heavens and the earth, and you will die or live. ”

The gentle woman smiled, her face a little sad.

The young man said "oops" a few times, "I didn't say anything, why did I change back again." ”

Suddenly, I don't know what Shi remembered, the young man's face became rare and serious, "The letter, have you taken it?"

It seems that it is really a big deal, even the gentle woman accepted the sad look, and said seriously: "Well, on the body, put it close to the body." ”

The young man glanced to the north, gestured to the gentle woman, and said in a low voice: "After I leave, if there is any disagreement, give the letter to Jing Lao Er, do you know?"

The gentle woman seemed to have heard something terrible, and her body trembled slightly, although after so many years, her own young master was used to messing around on weekdays, but every time she heard him call that person in private, she still couldn't help but tremble.

The young man smiled disappreliantly, and then suddenly hugged the woman and kissed her the cheek, and a "wave" sounded.

"Let's go, Sister Raider. ”

The young man ran into the depths of Merlin and disappeared.

The gentle woman who called the attacker, her face was flushed, a little embarrassed, a little sad, looking at the figure of the young man who disappeared into the plum room, and a tear inadvertently slipped down her face.

......

The sun is like a prodigal son, dodging the shadow of the young man.

But the day was gloomy, and winter had not yet risen.

There was a dog hole in the corner of the courtyard wall of "Mei Yuan'er", and the young man struggled to climb out of it.

The handsome boy climbed out and looked around vigilantly, but the street was quiet, and there was not even half a pedestrian.

But the boy just leaned against the courtyard wall and did not take a step forward.

The dog cave is a blind spot, covering the thin figure of the young man.

He was not in a hurry, he leaned quietly against the wall, waiting for something.

In the distance, the shouting of small traders could be heard faintly from the "Coarse Cloth Alley" market across the street.

Even if you listen carefully, you can still hear the "crackling" sound of those heartless girls playing mahjong in the inner house of the hospital.

......

In this way, I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden noise in the "Plum Garden", which gradually changed from small to loud.

"Walk the water, walk the water!"

The servants in the courtyard exclaimed.

The young man looked up, and he could just see the red plums that came out of the probes, which seemed to be plated with a layer of gold under the light of the fire, and became more and more red.

The young man's dirty face, which had long been unable to see the original handsome appearance, was indeed laughing happily at the moment, revealing his white teeth, like a crescent moon in the night.

"Raise so many plum blossoms this year, you are still arguing, stay in the garden every day, give others to enjoy and play, what does it mean, it is rare to come to this world, you have to see the scenery outside the garden. The young man looked at the red plums on the wall and sighed.

In a dilapidated house on the opposite side of the garden, a few vigilant glances have quietly disappeared. I'm afraid that I was also scared by this fire, and I helped fight the fire, how could I still have the kung fu to keep an eye on it.

But the young man still didn't mean to lift his steps, he frowned, as if he had encountered some distressing problem, and it was difficult to choose.

"But the sky doesn't say anything, it shows people with images, the tin envy hangs down, the stars and the clouds are clear? ”

"Young master, I saw that the red plum came out of the wall a few times, but I don't know if I was looking at Mei Lai, or Mei looking at me. ”

"Mei Wangchen. Hey, the seconds are wonderful. It is to hope and to forget. ”

The young man muttered a few words nervously in front of the dog hole under the red plum wall, and then strode out of the shadow in the corner of the wall, looking far away to the north, and the face of the scoundrel actually showed a somewhat solemn expression.

In his eyes, three points of mockery, three points of detachment, three points of firmness, and then there was a point of indescribable reluctance, he said softly to the north in a voice that only he could hear, "Young master, I won't play with you, go, don't send it." ”

After saying that, he smirked three times, turned around, and strode in the opposite direction.

......

In the northernmost part of Jingdu, there is a huge and magnificent palace complex, that is the palace of King Jing, and at the very center of the palace, there is a towering platform, the higher the narrower, like a sharp sword, I want to pierce this world.

This is the "Muyundae", which is said to be the place where the Jing royal family used to talk to the gods and listen to the will of the gods.

And at this moment, at the top of this "curtain cloud platform", there is a young man in a black robe.

He stood at the highest point of the mirror capital, or the highest point of the entire Jingguo, looking down on the entire capital. The figure of the black-robed young man is not very tall and majestic, nor does he give people an incomparable domineering, but he is so simply standing there, but it makes people feel that he should be standing there, standing on this highest point, and everything under his feet belongs to him, and he should bow down to him.

The black-robed young man had a cold look in his eyes, looking into the distance. At this moment, the southeast corner of the mirror capital is flooded with sparks, reflected in his black eyes, like a red plum blooming in winter, standing proudly in the cold wind.

The corners of the black-robed young man's mouth rose slightly, drawing a beautiful arc, and whispered softly: "After raising plums for a few years, you have raised such a plum blossom?"

There was no one else on the curtain platform, and I didn't know who the black-robed young man was talking to, but after he said this, he stopped talking, just quietly looked at the fire in the distance, as if waiting for something.

The mirror is too big, and the distance between Mei Yuan'er and Muyuntai is too far, so in the eyes of the black-robed young man, Mei Yuan'er's firelight, like a spark, flickering and dimming, seems to be extinguished when the cold wind blows gently.

The slight spark really didn't make people feel interested, and the black-robed young man frowned a little annoyedly, and then turned his gaze away.

The mirrors are so big, so naturally there is a place to watch a good show.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the curtain platform, quickly jumped into the back of the black-robed young man, and then gradually merged with it, difficult to distinguish.

A hoarse voice sounded, slowly telling the scene before and after Mei Yuan'er's fire today.

The eyes of the black-robed young man naturally showed the embarrassed appearance of the rogue young man when he drilled the dog hole. He smiled again.

The black-robed young man spoke, his voice calm and calm, "Does he have anything to say?"

The back figure didn't speak, but just handed a letter to the black-robed young man's hand.

The black-robed young man was silent for a while, and when he opened the letter, he saw only one sentence in the letter.

"The world is so big, I want to see it. ”

The expression of the black-robed young man cooled, the temperature on the curtain platform plummeted, and white frost flowers formed on the ground, even his back seemed to tremble slightly, and the air around him seemed to freeze.

Suddenly, it all disappeared, and the black-robed young man laughed for the third time.

"That's your style, huh. ”

"If you want to see it, you can go and see it, but you can't necessarily come back if you go. ”

"Let's go, don't send it. ”

The light of the fire in the plum garden in the distance has long since disappeared with the wind, and there is no trace of it again.

......

In the winter of Tiandao 3,514, King Jing's third brother, Chenqing, burned the plum garden and launched a rebellion, which failed.

King Jing quelled the rebellion, and in half a month, he killed more than 500 officials who participated in the rebellion, and as many as 3,000 officials and slaves were convicted.

In the spring of the 3,515th year of the Heavenly Dao, King Jing established Chenqing as the king of sin, in order to show humiliation, expelled him from the mirror, and gave the East China Sea Banzhou as his fief, so that he could live here forever, and he could not leave without an edict.

This matter is known in history as the "Plum Garden Incident", and the "King of Sin" was secluded in the fiefdom, and the party of Shangguo Zhuyunfutian, who fully supported the "King of Sin" at that time, was single-handedly extinguished by King Jing. Jingguo's many years of "Wangzhu Dispute" officially came to an end, and the thirteenth Jingwang, who inherited the throne for less than ten years, Chenjing, completely grasped the Jingguo dynasty and officially began Jingguo's road to Zhongxing.

Therefore, in later generations, many historians believe that the "Plum Garden Incident" was the beginning of Jing Zhongxing.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Merely......

At that time, some people may have guessed the beginning, but not the process and the result. No one thought that Jing's road to ZTE would take a completely different path.

No one thought of it, including the young man who crawled out of the dog hole in the corner of the plum garden in embarrassment.

......
