Chapter 1: The Abyss (1)
It was a very ordinary morning.
If anything's different.
Before dawn, he was woken up from his bed by his mother, who said that his father wanted to eat with his five sons.
My father was very early every day in the last dynasty, and usually only the eldest and second brothers, who also had to get up early in the morning to go to the morning class at Tiance Academy, ate with my father.
The next three younger brothers, all of whom were seven years old, had just developed their careers, and they could read in their rooms in the morning.
And as the youngest child, he enjoys a very rare treatment in the whole family, that is, he can sleep until midnight.
However, this treatment is said to be only this year, and he will also participate in the assessment of Tiance Academy next year.
Originally, as a member of the imperial family, he should have participated at the age of five, but after the second uncle became the emperor, the other uncles postponed the entry of their children into Tiance Academy.
Although they are brothers, there are some things that need to be paid attention to.
Those who can enter Tiance Academy at the age of five are now only the children of His Majesty the Emperor.
However, I heard that there seems to be an exception.
At the age of six, he reluctantly rolled over in bed, remembering the rumors he had heard that there was an adopted daughter of the emperor, although she was a nominal princess, but she only entered Tiance Academy at the age of ten.
If only he could do the same.
At that time, he didn't know anything about everything, and all he had in his heart was the nostalgia for the early morning bed and his mother's arms.
Later, he also thought about what the princess who entered Tiance Academy at the age of ten, who was extremely envious in his heart at that time, was missing when she was six years old?
Thinking about it now, he was really happy at that time.
At that time, he really didn't know anything.
The ignorant really only regard that morning meal as an ordinary breakfast.
On the whim of his father and the determination of his mother, he was dragged from bed by his nurse, dressed up and sent to the main house.
And at the top of the main house, his father sat on the golden sword.
My father was twenty-five years old at the time.
But he already had five sons and six daughters.
The usual long lance leaned against his father's side, the cold light was shining, and his father was in the prime of life at that time, and it was the time of high spirits.
The young man looked up and looked at the lance in awe.
In the narrative of his mother and subordinates, when the imperial grandfather raised troops in the troubled times, his father, who was still a teenager at the time, held this lance in his hand, swept the battlefield with his eldest uncle and second uncle, and was dissatisfied with the weak crown and was named the county prince.
A year later, he was crowned the prince of the country, and served as the general of the military and northern parts of the fifteen counties in the north, and when the second uncle went south, his father was left to guard the north, and he was the youngest hero of the Great Zhou royal family.
He has longed for his father since he was sensible, and at the same time, he also longs for his second uncle, who is said to be one of the only seven great masters in the mainland. However, the fly in the ointment is in the story of the Gao royal family's pacification of the mainland that his parents talked about.
I rarely talk about the second uncle.
Father preferred to talk about the great uncle.
In his father's story, the eldest uncle was supposed to become the crown prince, but the eldest uncle was benevolent and sympathetic to the second uncle's hard work in the south, and even hurt the foundation of his body, so he chose to abdicate and make way for Xian, and finally the imperial grandfather reluctantly passed the throne to the second uncle.
Thinking of the imperial grandfather, his was also sad.
Although he had just been born when the imperial grandfather left, I heard that his name was given by the imperial grandfather.
Shen Yuan.
It is a rare two-character name in the royal family.
But there is water in both words.
After Emperor Taizu established the dynasty, the national teacher at that time once calculated the national fortune of the Great Zhou, and the final result was that the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was destined to commit fire.
However, it is said that the hexagrams introduced at that time were extremely complicated, and the so-called line of fire surrounded the large sect but fell into the small sect.
The major sect is the branch that inherits the throne, while the small sect is the branch of them that does not have the right to inherit the throne.
And to solve this crime, it cannot come directly from the large batch.
He was only six years old at the time, and he didn't know what kind of advice the last national teacher gave, but the descendants of the royal family born after that deduction, except for the children of the great sect, had water in their names.
In short, except for the children of the second uncle, his other cousins have their names with water.
And he has two waters in his name.
The children of these small sects will be like a vast ocean, supporting the Great Zhou Dynasty and continuing the Great Zhou royal family.
He thought it was his destiny.
Decide what is good from birth.
In the faint morning light, he staggered into the main room, saluted his father with the support of his nursing mother, and then walked to the seats next to the four brothers in order.
The sound of dishes and chopsticks sounded in the house, although the father temporarily decided to eat with all his sons, but today, in the mansion of King Qi, the fourth son of Taizu, it is still a very ordinary morning scene in the year.
Feeling his father's gaze on each child from above, he was a little afraid, for fear that the master had sued his father and called him to breakfast just to reprimand him.
But nothing happened until the meal was over.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then held his breath again as his father stood up.
The sound of metal grinding sounded, and the father picked up the lance, and the light reflected from the blade hit the sleepy eyes of the young man.
It was only then that he found out that his father was actually wearing armor.
It is estimated that he will go to the barracks after the last dynasty.
At that time he thought lightly.
Then he watched his mother get up in a dignified manner, and stood on tiptoe to groom his father as part of her daily routine.
"Alright, Ah Rong, I'm leaving."
The father replied as usual, then picked up the helmet beside him, turned and strode to the door.
However, just a moment before crossing the threshold.
Father glanced back.
The father's gaze swept over the five sons who were standing to see him off, and finally stopped at the shortest of them.
His heart raced, but just when he thought his father was going to say something, he didn't say anything in the end.
The twenty-five-year-old man, after one last glance at his wife and children, turned around without a word, and strode into the morning light.
There was never a look back.
What was my father thinking at that time?
He didn't know.
Since his father is gone, he also started his ordinary morning, going to the master's class at home, and gesturing in the courtyard with a wooden sword, in order to successfully enter Tiance Academy next year.
This is his destiny.
If that hadn't happened, the world would have continued to run like this, and he would have entered Tiance Academy at the age of six, just like his brothers, and become a progressive, brave or gentlemanly prince in this nascent dynasty.
And everything that should have been a reality, two hours later.
Completely shattered.
……
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, three thousand forbidden troops surrounded the Qi Palace.
Then came the news that Taizu's fourth son, Qi Wang Gao Yuan, and Taizu's eldest son, abdicated the crown prince Huaiwang Gao Sheng, and tried to assassinate Emperor Chengzong in a vain attempt to assassinate Emperor Chengzong and plot against him.
The phrase "Ah Rong, I'm leaving" became the man's farewell.
On the morning of that day.
Gao Yuan, the king of Qi, and Gao Sheng, the king of Huai, were shot and killed on the spot at Danfeng Gate.
The first line of King Qi and the first line of King Huai were expelled from the royal family.
Huai Wang's five sons with.
The fifth son of King Qi.
All.
Lian Zhu.
