On the fifteenth day of the first month of the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Xiao Qingyun, the former third prince of the Qianguo, led more than 50,000 people from the old Qianguo to rise up in Jinling, and was respected as the generalissimo of the Mandate of Heaven. At the same time, there were 100,000 troops in the northwest, 50,000 troops in Jincheng, and peasant rebels in the south.

Shen Rongzhi's hexagrams that people spread everywhere helped a lot, and the people in the south soon respected Xiao Qingyun as the right master. After more than half a year of war, the people in the northwest also deeply miss the stable life when Dingyuan Hou was stationed in the northwest. Thinking of Xiao Qingyun's hexagram, they surrendered one after another and volunteered to join the Northwest Army led by Wan Mingde to do their part for Xiao Qingyun's army.

And as soon as Lan Jing'an's hexagram came out, all the princes also sent people to search for Lan Jing'an's whereabouts on both sides of the Yongjiang River, with a glimmer of hope, trying to grab her before others.

Although Xie Weining didn't believe in Lan Shuyao's hexagram, he refused to give up hope for Lan Jing'an. not only let the guards of the Xia Kingdom who pretended to be the Dayong Praetorian Guards continue to search, but also sent more people to Dayong to find Lan Jing'an's whereabouts behind the back of the Xia Emperor.

When the news of Xiao Qingyun's army reached Yonghua City, Emperor Wei even fainted in anger. He didn't expect that Xiao Qingyun's life would be so hard, and he could survive the turbulent water of the Yongjiang River when he had many arrows in his body. That's not all, he really rebelled. Is the proverb of those days going to be fulfilled? No, no, it won't. This world can only belong to the Yuwen family, and he will never change his surname to Xiao! Since he could destroy the Qianguo and kill the Xiao clan sixteen years ago, then he can also exterminate Xiao Qingyun today, and he will never let any descendant surnamed Xiao live!

Emperor Wei was already in a big hurry because of the affairs in the northwest, and after being fainted by qi this time, his physical condition deteriorated. Although they were still trying to control the affairs of the court, most of the courtiers had already seen that Emperor Wei was afraid that he would die soon, and everyone turned to the crown prince one after another. This made Emperor Wei extremely annoyed, and his physical condition was even worse.

And in the several encounters between the eldest prince Yu Wenmo and the crown prince, he failed to take advantage of half a point. Not only failed to bring down the prince, but was suppressed by the prince and lost the support of many courtiers. Now the court has gradually formed a situation in which Yuwen Moyuan's family is dominant.

Yuwen Mochi has never recovered since he was blind in one eye. He tried to show Emperor Wei that it was because of Yuwen Moyuan that Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an escaped in the Yanbo Pavilion that day. But because of the testimony of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Emperor Wei refused to believe him at all. In addition, the Xia delegation led by Xie Weining fled overnight, and Emperor Wei felt that Yuwen Mochi was not in a good position, and he no longer had the same eagerness for him as before. However, in order to appease him, Emperor Wei still issued a holy decree to give marriage, and let Wu Zijiao marry the princess of Xiling.

But this time, it was Wu Daoming's turn and Wu Ziji's turn to be unwilling. Wu Daoming's pursuit is a unique dragon merit, now that King Xiling has been completely insulated from the throne, he can only switch elsewhere, which is disadvantageous enough for him, how can he be willing to marry his only daughter to such an abandoned son? And Wu Ziji found that since King Xiling was blind in one eye, his temperament had changed greatly and he had become extremely irritable, and a little thing could make him angry. His power is gone, his admirable countenance is ruined, and even his gentleness is gone. Even though the two are already skin-to-skin, how can a proud person like her be willing to follow a wasted person! Tai Changqing's father and daughter began to try all means to dissolve the marriage.

And after Taichangqing's father and daughter's actions were noticed by Yuwen Mochi, he was furious. He had already heard of Lan Jing'an's hexagram, and he really regretted not being at the beginning. He now wants Lan Jing to die again, and he hopes that she can be caught alive by himself. And thinking that Wu Ziji's father and daughter dared to look down on themselves and were bent on finding an opportunity to withdraw from the marriage, this made Yuwen Mochi unbearable at all! Before Emperor Wei completely fell, he begged Emperor Wei to let Wu Zijiao marry him immediately. Emperor Wei watched his blind son cry bitterly in front of him, not only feeling sorry for Yuwen Mochi, but also hating Wu Daoming's snobbery. So he allowed Yuwen Mochi and asked Wu Zijiao to marry into the Xiling Mansion as soon as possible. Wu Daoming couldn't, so he could only send his daughter to marry. As the princess of Xiling, although Wu Zijiao got the title she always wanted, she was tortured by Yuwen Mochi day and night, and became the target of Yuwen Mochi's anger.

In the spring of the nineteenth year of Jian'an, with Xiao Qingyun's rebellion, Qian Xi, the governor of Jiaozhou, and King Ding, the governor of Qingzhou, also took the opportunity to rebel and set themselves up as kings.

Yelang, a small southwestern country that was once annexed by the Xia State, saw that the Xia State was busy dealing with the deadly iron cavalry in Shu, so he took the opportunity to break away from the control of the Xia State, killed the Yelang Captain of the Xia State, and established himself as a country again. In the vicinity of Yelang, Xiqiang, Ailao and other territories also followed suit, and for a time, there were many more small countries in the southwest.

Due to the particularly severe snow disaster in the winter of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, and seeing that Xia and Dayong were fighting together in the northwest, the Xiongnu in the north could not hold back, and began to take the initiative to attack the northern defense line of Xia and Dayong, hoping to get a piece of the pie from the northwest.

Counting some of the rebel armies scattered all over Dayong before that did not submit to Xiao Qingyun, the flames of war basically burned all over Kyushu. Finally, sixteen years after the fall of the Qianguo, the world was in chaos again. Since then, the heroes have been competing for each other, and the lives have been devastated.

In Yonghua City in June, flowers are in full bloom, and the entire imperial capital is colorful and splendid again. Although there are many homeless people from all over the city, it still can't stop the princes and nobles from enjoying the flowers. Powerful people have enjoyed the rare leisure time of early summer. As for Yuwen Moyuan, he is now returning to his home except for the last dynasty, and he is busy and has no intention of caring about him.

On this day, Yuwen Moyuan, the prince of Dayong, went down to the court, and angrily fell in the study of the prince's mansion that had just been sent from the south. Now that Emperor Wei's illness is even more serious, he is basically unable to serve as a director, and Yuwen Moyuan is approving all political affairs on behalf of Zhu. Yuwen Moyuan didn't like to review the recitals in the palace, so he always sent the fortune teller directly to the prince's mansion. Fortunately, he is now powerful, and the entire court is basically in his hands, and no one dares to have the slightest objection to what he has done.

In just half a year under his command of the Southern Army, Xiao Qingyun had already captured most of the two vast southern prefectures and counties, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and occupied most of the important cities south of the river except Jiaozhou. These places used to be the territory of Qianguo, but he didn't expect to be taken back by him so soon. Xiao Qingyun ignored Jiaozhou for the time being, and just sent people to guard the defense line south of Yangzhou. Then he concentrated on attacking Xuzhou in the north, and the battle is currently close to Xiapi City. This recital was a distress letter from the captain of Xiapi, saying that Xiao Qingyun's offensive was too fierce and he was about to be unable to resist it, so he asked the imperial court to send reinforcements quickly.

Yuwen Moyuan rubbed his eyebrows, he finally subdued all the people in the court, but the war outside was completely out of his control. Dayong is now full of rebels, and the central forces are completely insufficient. He hesitated and did not dare to completely delegate power to the local princes, for fear of the appearance of white-eyed wolves like the king of Qingzhou or the governor of Jiaozhou.

He also had some resentment in his heart, if he hadn't had to torture the Dingyuan Marquis and kill the Marquis of Funan, why would things have come to this point? Now the northwest is reversed, and the south is also reversed. Because many generals heard about Emperor Wei's brutal methods, they did not seek merit but no fault. is busy with self-protection every day, and he is not willing to contribute to Dayong at all.

Yuwen Moyuan thought of Xiao Qingyun again, why couldn't he find him and kill him in the first place? Lan Jing'an was obviously not by his side, how could he be so brave?

With a sullen feeling in his heart, he got up and walked out of the study and walked towards a secluded garden behind the prince's mansion.
