In this deep palace, everyone has their own sorrow and their own cruelty, her eyes are too vicissitudes, and she has long been unable to see the ashes under the prosperity. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
When he returned to Yingge Courtyard, Yan Xun was drinking in Merlin's pavilion, and he had always been calm all these years, rarely drinking except for necessary occasions. Chu Qiao stood under the porch, looking at the young man in a green shirt, and suddenly felt a sour feeling in his chest. She suddenly remembered that one afternoon many years ago, the young man woke up in a nightmare, grabbed her hand, and asked weakly, "Achu, when can I get drunk with confidence?" β
At that time, they were too weak to even have the courage to take a sip of wine. But now, they have such courage, but they have more responsibilities on their shoulders, so that they can no longer hold the gold cup with peace of mind.
Sure enough, Yan Xun only drank two cups and stopped. The cold winter has passed, the plum forest is gradually scattered, the breeze blows, the sky is full of flowers and trees, the plum blossoms are colorful, the black hair of the man in the green shirt is flying, his eyes are closed, his head is up, his eyebrows are frowning, and the white plums in the sky fall on his face. The breeze blows, the sleeves are inspiring, and they are like bird wings.
Chu Qiao didn't walk over, just stood quietly in the distance, looking at the person who had been side by side for many years.
There are some feelings that others can't understand, and some hatred that others can't bear, even if it's as close as them, she has never been able to bear the bone-crushing hatred for him.
All she could do was watch from afar, wait for the rain to come, and give him the umbrella she was holding.
The most honorable woman of the empire left, leaving behind a huge stone that smashed into the seemingly calm lake.
To everyone's surprise, Shu Guifei, who was the most popular in the harem, did not take over Mu Henayun's position logically, and after a short period of laughter, countless suspicious arrows suddenly aimed at Wei Valve, and Shu Guifei also became the biggest suspect. The officials of the Secretariat, the Internal Affairs Yuan, and the Great Temple Mansion walked into the gate of Shuyun Hall like a marquee. Seven days of investigation fruitless, but did not clear Shu Guifei's suspicion, under the intentional connivance of some people, Shu Guifei's status in the harem plummeted, Wei valve affected the pond fish, but also by the Yushitai many pen critics, the situation is not optimistic.
At the same time, Concubine Xuan's mother of Lanxuan Hall gained power out of thin air, slept for three days in a row, and was canonized as a concubine on the fourth day, becoming the highest-grade concubine in the harem except for Concubine Shu.
Concubine Xuan is different from the original concubine, and she is also different from Mu Henayun who has declined in the family. The favored woman with the nickname Lan Xuan also has a dazzling surname, she was born in an ancient clan that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and has a strong family backing, her full name is Zhuge Lanxuan.
The wind direction changed, the Zhuge clan rose, and in an instant became one of the big clans on a par with Wei Valve.
After the funeral of Empress Muhe, it was only three days before his birthday, and on the same day, the emperor would marry his most beloved daughter to the prince of Yanbei to complete this marriage that attracted national attention.
All the bows and arrows were full of strings in an instant. In the air, there was an atmosphere of tension and urgency.
On the seventeenth day of May, the fierce cavalry all the way shattered the tranquility of the imperial capital, and the birthday messengers of the Batuha family in the northwest were late, and the youngest biological brother of the old Batu, Barre, cried bitterly as soon as he entered the city, and threw himself on the statue of the mother of the country in Ziwei Square and cried so much that he was summoned by the Shengjin Palace, because of his loyalty and patriotism, His Majesty the Honorable Emperor decided to summon him personally.
That night, Zhuge Yue and Wei Shuye, the young lord of Wei who had just returned to Beijing, both received letters printed with the Northwest Goshawk.
Zhuge Muqing looked at it for a long time, and finally put it aside, shook his head slowly, and said, "Let's just say that the young master is sick and it is inconvenient to go out." β
Zhuge Yue frowned, stepped forward and said, "Father, why?" β
Zhuge Muqing said in a deep voice: "Our goal has been achieved, it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches, the family power is not stable now, and Lan Xuan still needs time in the palace." β
"If we facilitate this, the emperor will value us even more."
Zhuge Muqing slowly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Yue'er, don't you still understand? Whether the emperor values us or not depends not on what contribution we make to the country, but on what kind of strength Zhuge has in the lineage. General Meng has been a country for generations, but he is still just a general, he has no fiefdom and financial resources, and the family and the imperial power are divided and irreconcilable, which my father has told you many times. β
"But ......"
"There is no need to say anything about this matter, we will close the door from today, and we will sit and wait for the results in three days."
Zhuge Yue's words were forcibly interrupted by Zhuge Muqing, in fact, he wanted to say that if that fool in Bari couldn't do it, and Yan Xun really escaped from the imperial capital alive and returned to Yanbei to take the throne, then what would happen to the imperial capital? What will happen to Great Xia? What will happen to the whole world? What kind of disasters and disasters will they cause if they let this tiger go for their own benefit?
He wanted to say that his father was already old, and his eyes could only see the gains and losses and interests of each family, but he could not see the general trend of the world. If the country is not there, Zhuge will survive?
If he did go, what about her? Will you also leave the imperial capital and go to Yanbei?
Fortunately, although Barre is a fool, and Wei Shuye is there, Wei Valve has lost his position, and if he wants to gain a foothold, he has to seize this opportunity.
Zhuge Yue slowly raised his head and muttered, "Don't let me down." β
On the second day, Wei Shuye walked into Lao Batu's mansion in the imperial capital with eighteen warriors, while the warriors in the northwest waited for a day, but did not see Zhuge Yue's shadow.
Barre and Wei Shuye, who met for the first time, were not very reserved, and they had the opportunity to work together in the southwest camp. As soon as he sat down, General Barry immediately explained his intentions, and the young imperial upstart tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with a wicked smile: "The Zhuge family gave up a good time to serve the country, it seems that this opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune is destined to fall on the heads of you and my brother." β
Wei Shuye's face was gloomy, and he didn't seem to want to entangle with Barredo, so he cut straight to the point, and said in a deep voice: "I'm stupid, seeing that the general is so confident, but he has a careful plan?" β
Barre smirked, "Of course. β
May 18, late at night.
The girl stood in front of the map and repeatedly deliberated on the actions of the night after tomorrow, and finally said in a deep voice: "All links have been arranged, only the part that went to the ancestral temple in the south of the city to ask for my life, I still don't feel at ease." β
Yan Xun raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
"According to the ritual, you need to go to the ancestral temple to worship your ancestors, and then return to the palace with the ceremonial officer to marry the princess. Although the people who escorted you on this section of the road were officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Rites, they were not reliable. If anyone intercepts you along this road, something will happen. β
Yan Xun looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "The terrain here is open, close to the southwest town government envoy, fish and dragons are mixed, once something happens, you need to send a large army, besides, the southwest town government envoy has a lot of connections with us, they may not have the courage." β
Chu Qiao shook his head and said slowly: "You have to do everything perfectly, the more impossible the place, the easier it is to make mistakes, we need to be prepared for all variables." Besides, you and I know that the envoy of the southwest town government is not loyal to Yanbei, nor is he loyal to you, so we have to guard against it. β
Yan Xun nodded, picked up the map, and began to plan the battles and countermeasures that might be encountered.
Chu Qiao also took out a pen and paper and wrote on the desk.
After a stick of incense, the two straightened up at the same time, exchanged papers, only glanced at each other, and suddenly smiled together.
Burn one's ship! Fight to the death!
If Emperor Xia dares to make such a move, then the entire Zhenhuang Emperor will come to see him off!
The two days were spent peacefully. On the morning of May 20, the whole city of Zhenhuang was plunged into great joy. The red brocade spreads all the way from the Zijin Gate to the East City Gate, the Emperor of Daxia makes a public appearance, the officials, traders, people, and civilians of the imperial capital block the streets, and under the command of the guards of the imperial capital, they compete to bow and shout long live, completely presenting a picture of the glory and magnificence of the prosperous era.
Emperor Xia's birthday, except for the prisoners who committed murder cases, were amnesty, and Ziwei Square was densely packed with prisoners who had been pardoned. As soon as Emperor Xia's carriage approached, these people immediately shouted long live and thanked the emperor for his grace.
Hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys from all over the country knelt in front of the Zijin Gate, and later followed the procession all the way to enjoy the worship of all the people.
The procession lasted until the afternoon, and a grand banquet was held in the Shengjin Palace. In the evening, the sky is full of fire, trees and silver flowers, colorful lights are burning, and countless kabuki dance gorgeously on the square, and the vocal music is vast, spreading throughout the imperial city. The people cheered and shook the sky, and the momentum was amazing.
However, just when there were waves of people cheering from Ziwei Square, on the road to the ancestral temple in the south of the city, there was a team of gorgeously dressed people and horses, walking slowly according to the etiquette system.
Different from the jubilation of the inner city, this forbidden area of the ancestral temple in the south of the city is still immersed in silence, and the cheers in the distance continue to come, but it seems that it is even more dead and silent here.
The moonlight was dim, the red palace lights flashed on both sides of the road, Yan Xun was dressed in a red auspicious suit, sitting in the carriage, his eyes slightly closed, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
The car drove for a while and suddenly stopped. Yan Xun opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and the last trace of hesitation in his heart suddenly receded.
There was silence in the carriage, and there was also an eerie silence outside, as if everyone had forgotten for a moment where the carriage had come from, what its purpose was, and where it was going, and of course, they would not know what the people in the carriage had quietly left without realizing it.
Behind a tall mansion, the warriors' war horses wrapped their hooves in cotton cloth and quickly stepped forward to meet the men who came quickly. Ah Jing turned over and dismounted, brought the war horse for Yan Xun, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, everything is ready." β
Yan Xun nodded silently, turned over and got on his horse, and then galloped towards the southwest town envoy at the other end of the long street. There, there was a field army drawn from Yanbei by the empire, which guarded the imperial capital for a long time, with more than 10,000 people.
Although they are not their own people, but because they are also from Yanbei, Yan Xun has decided to pull them onto the thief ship.
Now, he's going to call for help.
Suddenly, the knife flashed!
In the shouting of killing, the guards of the ancestral temple drew their swords in their hands, everyone was agile and vigorous, where were the guards of the ancestral temple, it was clear that they were all battle-hardened soldiers.
"Yan Xun rebelled! Kill the thief! The Assassins roared and swarmed with their swords, and the hastily formed line of defense was broken through in an instant, as fragile as papier-mΓ’chΓ© wind lanterns. Only then did the ceremonial officer who led the team react and shouted, "There are assassins! β
Just look at the refreshing one
