But it was said that in the attic of the imperial study, the aunt and nephew were reunited, mixed with joy and sorrow. Looking at the Rakshasa King Yuwen Jian, who was crying at his feet, the old woman of the Xiu clan suddenly remembered the first emperor Yuwen Xiaotian. Alas, the people are gone, the dead are like Si, and scenes of dusty past have resurfaced in front of us......

Fifty years ago, Yuwen Xiaotian, who had just inherited the throne of Northern Qi, was still a personable weak-crowned young man. At that time, he was in the prime of his youth and high spirits, although the sudden death of his father made him extremely sad, but he was also excited by the pride of dominating the world and the impulse to make meritorious achievements!

After three years of filial piety, Yuwen Xiaotian, who was known for his great ambition, overrode public opinion, and began a drastic reform of the law from top to bottom in the Northern Qi State with the momentum of thunder.

As the emperor, Yuwen Xiaotian took the lead in setting an example, renting a large amount of idle land owned by the court to poor people who had no land to cultivate at a very low price. Next, civil and military officials and landlords from all over the country followed suit. For a time, the reform movement was vigorously launched throughout the Northern Qi Kingdom.

Due to the thorough preparation, careful planning, and proper government decrees and legal measures, so that people can make the best use of their talents and materials, so only a few years later, the Northern Qi State will have their fields and their houses, and the whole country will show an unprecedented prosperity.

The great success of governing the country has brought Yuwen Xiaotian a prestige and reputation comparable to Yao Shun, and while being praised by all the people, Yuwen Xiaotian suddenly fell into a kind of loneliness that is unbearable in the heights......

Becoming a loner after reigning in the world may be a kind of fate for the emperor. Recently, Yuwen Xiaotian has felt more and more that from the court to the court, among all the concubines and courtiers, he can't find a person who can be honest with each other, and he doesn't know who to say if he has any troubles......

Every night in the dead of night, Yuwen Xiaotian always remembers the unrestrainedness of his childhood. At that time, the carefree and innocent Shurakshasa childhood sweetheart, the two little guesses, in the huge palace, there were shadows of them playing together......

Shurakshasa is the emperor of the Northern Qi Kingdom, the pearl of the great Confucian Xiu Shiyuan, when he was young, he studied literature, grew up and practiced martial arts, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was already heroic, delicate and unparalleled.

Because Xiu Shiyuan lost his wife in his early years, when he went to the palace to teach the prince and princess to read, he often took his daughter Shurakshasa with him.

Although her father taught her to abide by the courtiers from an early age, when her father was not around, she still willfully matched the sister and brother of the prince Yuwen Xiaotian.

Slowly, Yuwen Xiaotian developed a huge attachment to the Shurakshasa, and sometimes the two of them did not see each other for three or two days, and he was restless as if he had lost his soul. In his heart, he said to himself more than once that if he became an emperor one day, he must follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was in the golden house, marry his beloved Shurakshasa into the palace, and make him the queen......

Helplessly, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck! Yuwen Xiaotian's beautiful vision was soon shattered by the ruthless reality!

When Shurakshasa was eighteen years old, his father, Xiu Shiyuan, suddenly fell ill and passed away in a short time. Shurakshasa lost his mother when he was young, and now he has lost his father, and he is in pain for a while, and he is heartbroken.

After barely dealing with his father's funeral, Shurakshasa made a decision that shocked everyone. In front of all relatives and friends, she resolutely announced that she had been in pain to the bone marrow, and all thoughts were lost, and she was going to become a monk......

"How is this possible? How could Sister Rakshasa give up my family?" When this news, which was like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, reached the palace, Yuwen Xiaotian couldn't believe his ears at all.

With a full stomach full of suspicions, Yuwen Xiaotian stumbled to the Xiufu, but seeing that the door was deserted, all that greeted him was a cold lock on the door, and his beloved Shurakshasa had long since disappeared......

"No, I must chase Sister Rakshasa back......" Yuwen Xiaotian, who wanted to cry without tears, took the servants and searched for several months like crazy, searching all over the villages and towns of the Northern Qi Kingdom, but did not find the shadow of the Shurakshasa .

"Sister Rakshasa is deliberately avoiding me? Do you think that I am not good enough, so my sister is unwilling to entrust me with life? Then in the future, when I am good enough, will I be able to win back my sister's heart? Or is my sister's departure a test for me......?"

The power of faith is so strong, more than ten years later, Yuwen Xiaotian, who was in his thirties, really became a generation of heroes, but Shurakshasa still did not return.

In order to wait for his beloved Shurakshasa back, Yuwen Xiaotian has been vacant in the harem for the queen's position, and he often fantasizes that one day, Shurakshasa will suddenly appear in front of him......

With the passage of time, the princes and palace masters in the palace slowly grew up, and some discordant voices gradually diffused from the harem to the court......

Yuwen Xiaotian has two favorite concubines, one Yang and one Liu. Concubine Yang entered the palace earlier, but Concubine Liu, who entered the palace later, became a prince and named Yu Wenjian. Later, Concubine Yang was pregnant and gave birth to Yuwenzai. Both concubines wanted their son to become the crown prince, so they fought fiercely.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. The dispute in the palace has not yet subsided, and there is another strange incident related to the reproduction of the family and country in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

I don't know when the women of childbearing age in the Northern Qi Kingdom suddenly couldn't give birth. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, and at the same time that people are panicking, a rumor began to spread up and down the Northern Qi Kingdom.

The target of this rumor was directly aimed at the court, saying that it was because a few years ago, the imperial court dug an artificial lake ninety miles north of the capital was too heavy, so it affected the peaceful atmosphere in the city, so that the yin and yang were out of tune, and the fetal gas was difficult to grow.

After hearing this rumor, Yuwen Xiaotian was immediately furious. This artificial lake is personally supervised by himself with a lot of effort, when the river water into the lake, because the water surface is as clear as a mirror, he also gave it the name of the mirror pond.

The completion of Jingtan has irrigated a large area of farmland around it, and many people are still in front of them to cheer and sing and dance.

"Could it be that someone is secretly stirring up right and wrong and maliciously attacking ......" Yuwen Xiaotian frowned, his thoughts were disturbed: the urgent need at present is to dispel rumors and stabilize the people's hearts, and the root of solving the problem is still in the matter of "difficult to raise heirs...... Thinking about it, it seems that in recent years, there have been no children among the concubines in the harem, and I remember that the youngest princess is already five years old!

The more Yuwen Xiaotian thought about it, the more unsteady he became, so he issued a clear decree, ordering hundreds of civil and military officials to accompany him, and he personally led the princes to inspect the Jingtan area on a certain day......

When Emperor Yuwen Xiaotian went out on patrol, almost all the people in the city of Northern Qi poured into the streets. While the people were vying to see the dragon's face, they also prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that when the emperor returned from Jingtan, he would bring back exciting good news.

Yuwen Xiaotian waved to the people like a tide, and finally took the mighty team out of Beiguan. After three days of stop-and-go, we finally arrived at Jingtan.

The area around Jingtan has been surrounded by local people, and when everyone saw the emperor arrive, they knelt down and kowtowed. Yuwen Xiaotian came down from the dragon and motioned to the people to hurry up.

After all the people shouted long live, a passage was opened, and the inner courtiers supported Yuwen Xiaotian, passed through the crowd, and came to the edge of the mirror pool.

As far as the eye can see, the wide mirror pool is still waveless, quiet as a virgin. But unlike five years ago, the water is no longer crystal clear, but dark as ink.

Strange and strange! How can this pool of water be so black? Along the way, I can see that the several rivers flowing to Jingtan are still clear and bright? Isn't there something strange in this pool of water? It seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is too evil?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I personally supervised the construction of this Mirror Pond, but I didn't expect that the evil aura of this pool of water is so heavy now!" Yuwen Xiaotian looked at it for a long time, and immediately made up his mind, "I didn't notice the situation in time, it's my fault!" I am now announcing in public that the Ministry of Industry will organize manpower and material resources from now on, and we must export the water from the pool and fill it up within three months!"

"Long live Shengming......" Yuwen Xiaotian's words did not fall, and the sound of congratulations like a tsunami sounded around Jingtan.

I don't know if it was affected by the sound of people, but there were sudden waves on the calm pool. Gradually, where the waves rolled, a huge whirlpool appeared.

As the whirlpool became bigger and faster, the wind suddenly rose on the mirror pool, and the turbid waves crashed into the sky, and many people on the shore were unstable on their feet, swept into the water by the strong wind, and disappeared in an instant......

"Everyone, don't panic, I am here, everyone hurry up and leave this place with me......" Yuwen Xiaotian is worthy of being a generation of holy kings, he is in danger, but he is righteous and awe-inspiring!

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of danger here, you can retreat with your subordinates......" Several inner courtiers surrounded the angry Yuwen Xiaotian and pleaded bitterly.

"Get out of here, the people are suffering here, how can I steal peace......" Yuwen Xiaotian jumped like thunder, and stretched out his hand to push a few attendants aside.

At this time, the wind became stronger, and several sharp flashes swept through the sky, and a thunderclap suddenly exploded on the water. At the same time, a black dragon shook its head and tail, suddenly burst out from the center of the whirlpool, and went straight to Yuwen Xiaotian.

"Your Majesty, go quickly......" Before the ministers finished speaking, they were swallowed alive by the evil dragon. Yuwen Xiaotian was shocked, turned around and ran. The evil dragon then pounced, quickly entangled Yuwen Xiaotian and rolled it into the air......
