In the year 329 of the Han calendar, in winter, Chang'an City was plain white.

At this time, more than 80 years have passed since the unification of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu.

Wolong Tengtian restored the country, after a dragon and tiger fight, the Chinese people finally returned to the Han Dynasty.

After the artifact returned to the throne of the Han Empire, in a prosperous era is still a little not peaceful, more than 80 years, the empire in Xiaoren Emperor Liu Chan and Shenwu Emperor Liu Chen two generations of emperors under the rule, has experienced natural disasters descended into the world, the kings rebelled, the northern Hu trouble, although the process is thrilling, but there is no danger, the hooves have come to this day.

Thirty-four years ago, in order to clear the rebellion of the kings and resist the northern powers, Emperor Liu Chen of Shenwu had no choice but to give up power to the local clans, and the side effects of delegating power to the clans began to gradually appear in the past two decades.

Especially four years ago, Emperor Shenwu Liu Chen's life hung by a thread, when today's son Liu Yan in order to compete for the throne, promised heavy profits, hooked up with the most powerful twenty-eight families in the empire, with the help of strong support, Liu Yan, the son of the first emperor who is not the eldest son, became the final winner and was able to inherit the unification.

After ascending the throne, Liu Yan, although he longed for authority, was grateful for the merits of the clan from the dragon, and was more indulgent to the clan, and the clan became more and more raging, they forcibly interfered in national affairs, ignored national law, formed private troops, and seized farmland.

Full of warmth and long-term desire, greed is not enough to swallow elephants, and the people who have obtained all kinds of glory in the world are not satisfied.

As a result, a scene that shocked the whole world happened unexpectedly and unexpectedly in Chang'an City.

......

The cicada is poignant, known as the world's first sleepless city in Chang'an, in this night the prosperous scene is gone, in the bleak moonlight looks particularly deserted, a trace of winter cold wind blows, along the street dark alleys implied bursts of murderous atmosphere, was inadvertently coerced out.

The seemingly empty and lonely streets and alleys, under the cover of the hidden moon and black clouds, there are fierce and dense sword light and sword shadows, between the bursts of different forms of qi flow, a light black shadow is fiercely swords, flesh and blood fight fiercely, Chang'an City criss-crossed, clean and tidy bluestone pavement, blood flowed into a river, corpses piled up like a tide.

This night's Chang'an City is no longer graceful and luxurious, and every minute and every second, there are people who die and hate each other.

The people in the market were silent, all closed their doors and closed their doors, trembling and hiding in the house, not even daring to light an oil lamp, but even if they were so timid, there were still many civilians who suffered from unwarranted disasters, and some of the gods in the upper realm inadvertently released the fierce qi when fighting each other, directly bombarded the houses into powder, and the people who were powerless to restrain the chickens did not even leave the bones and slag to the world.

Tonight, the most powerful tycoons of the empire and the top twenty-eight clans in the world have gathered in the imperial capital of Chang'an, they divided their camps, for their own interests, led the most elite subordinates, and slaughtered all over the city, and the magnificent and colorful Chang'an City fell into hell on earth tonight.

The officers and soldiers who were supposed to be stationed in Chang'an City seemed to have disappeared at this time, and there was no news, allowing the bloody wind and rain to arbitrarily sweep through the center of Gyeonggi, which has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

The moon is bloody, the wind is red, and the hell on earth is nothing more than this!

......

The shouts inside the city shook the sky, and the outside of the city was silent.

The fog dispersed with the wind, in an open field in the south of the city, showing a banner hunting, under the Zhu Yu canopy, Liu Yan, the son of heaven who had just ascended the throne for less than four years, was wearing a yellow robe, holding the world's first sword swallowing Hong, looking at the people under the seat solemnly with his eyes, and his eyebrows showed anger and helplessness.

Behind him, thousands of troops lined up silently, and all the armies defending the Imperial Gyeonggi gathered here, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they were as quiet as a mountain, holding their breath, and standing majestically on the plain, as if waiting for the Son of Heaven to give an order.

But take a closer look, but find that these armies are a little wonderful, they are based on the place where Liu Yan stands, and they are invisibly divided into two factions, hundreds of thousands of people and horses are holding spears, looking at the Son of Heaven from time to time, but more energy is looking at the other group of people and horses vigilantly, their eyes are full of strong bloodthirsty killing intent, which makes people shudder, as if the other group of people and horses have an immortal enmity with them.

In front of Liu Yan, the courtiers in brocade clothes, the powerful generals in battle armor, and the clan elders who came from all over the empire were bowing their heads and arching their hands, not daring to look directly at Liu Yan.

In the two crowds, each of them was surrounded by a beautiful and natural lady with light cheeks and pink hair, and in the arms of the two noble ladies were each holding a crying baby, while the two noble ladies looked at Liu Yan, the son of heaven, who was standing under the canopy with resentment.

Hundreds of thousands of people, silent for a long time, until the pungent smell of blood in Chang'an City was sent by the strong wind of deep winter, and in a piece of brocade clothes on the left side of the station, an old and powerful voice finally came out, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has a stubborn temperament, and we think that another virtuous man should be appointed as the crown prince." The second prince was born with a vision, and when he came into the world, he chased the moon with meteors, and he will be a generation of Ming monarchs and ministers in the future, and he will fully support the second prince. ”

In the brocade dress on the right, a strong voice immediately came out, "Fart, a baby doll, how can you see what you will achieve in the future?" Your Majesty, since ancient times, the elder and the youngest have been respected and humbled, and the eldest prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, so he should be canonized as the crown prince and inherit the unification to calm the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Another person hung a short sword from his waist and walked out of the crowd on the left, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the noble lady surrounded by the crowd on the right, his eyes burst with coldness, and he said sonorously, "Your Majesty, the queen Li has a bad heart, is good at using crooked ways, and has tried to murder the second prince several times, the evidence is conclusive, and people and gods are angry." The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, there must be a mother and a son, such a conspiracy and treacherous prince, if the Han country is in charge of him, I am afraid that it will fall in a few days! At that time, how should we face the first emperor under the Nine Springs! ”

"Nonsense!" An old man dressed in a pale yellow shirt rushed out from the right camp, spitting everywhere, "Your Majesty, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, when the second prince came into the world, the colorless ghost of heaven and earth cried wolf, this is the omen of the demon star coming into the world, this son is not removed, I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful, and the world will not be able to live in peace, the ministers and others implore Your Majesty to immediately execute the second prince, and punish the second prince's biological mother Zhang with a car split, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world!" ”

In the eyes of Liu Yan, the Son of Heaven, in front of everyone's eyes, one side pointed directly at the queen of the dynasty, and the other side angrily reprimanded the second prince for the demon star.

As more and more people admonished, the voices in the field gradually became noisy, and the crowd on both sides turned from admonishment to refutation, and then started a scolding war, and the atmosphere became more and more intense, and gradually became a boiling trend.

Just when the white-headed people were arguing, Liu Yan, who had always watched coldly, suddenly unsheathed the swallowing hung in his hand, and a burst of golden light accompanied by the sound of the tiger roaring and the dragon's groan, crowned the audience.

The audience was silent, and the army standing behind Liu Yan and the princes and nobles in front of him looked sideways, not squinting, waiting for Liu Yan to make a final decision.

This prime-aged genius, who had just succeeded to the throne for four years, did not speak immediately, his face was dark, and he paced back and forth under the canopy, and with each step, his face became gloomy.

Suddenly, there was a long neighing of healthy horses in the distance, and a man covered in blood, riding his horse from Chang'an City like a storm, and approaching the canopy of the Son of Heaven, he hurriedly dismounted, proudly ignored Liu Yan, the Son of Heaven, and went straight to the right camp, neatly arched his hand, and said solemnly, "My lords, the two princes and the party that are in turmoil in the city have all been killed and annihilated by us. What is the next step, please let the adults know. ”

The situation is already very clear, the left camp is the supporters of the second prince, and the right camp is the supporters of the eldest prince, and the crowds on both sides are surrounded by the queen and the second prince's biological mother Zhang, and the two noble ladies are the two babies in their arms, one big and one small, are the only two sons of Liu Yan, the son of heaven.

The biological mother of the eldest prince, Li Fengjiao, the queen of the dynasty, has a strong personality, and the biological mother of the second prince, the eldest envoy Zhang Diewu is gentle by nature, the two have different personalities, but they have a common characteristic, they were both born in a big family.

After the birth of the second prince, the two families gathered the heroes of the world and began to fight for the position of the prince.

The quiet pin drop in the field could be heard, and even the hunting flag no longer fluttered in the wind.

When Liu Yan heard this, his upright waist suddenly relaxed, he took a deep breath, and looked at the gentle and skillful Zhang Diewu in the left camp with an unbearable face, his lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but his throat tightened and he wanted to speak, only sadness came out of his chest, and tears suddenly overflowed his eyes.

The appointment of a prince of a country is a royal family matter, and it should not be discussed in front of everyone, and Liu Yan, the sword wielder of the empire who should be powerful all over the world, has no ability to control the political situation, he can't command the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him, can't suppress the courtiers and clans to stop internal friction, can't stop this bloody storm that has been brewing for a long time, and doesn't even have the ability to protect his good wife and young son.

The imperial power is on the side, and there is no branch to rely on, which can't help but make people sad and sigh.

At this moment, Liu Yan finally understood that his power had been completely emptied by the tyrants of the world under the connivance and leniency of the two generations of emperors.

He, the emperor, is a wreck.

At this point, Liu Yan knew that he was in a difficult situation, if he did not handle it well today, the clans would tear their faces on the surface, and the situation of the division of the heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty would be repeated again, and the Han Empire, which was too peaceful, would be re-involved in endless mutual conquests.

Liu Yan staggered, resolutely turned his back, closed his eyes and sighed, "Wait, take care of yourself!" ”

Close your eyes and don't look at it, this may be Liu Yan's last dignity.

He didn't give the ministers a result, but he already had a result.

People are in a desperate situation, always want to turn the tables against the wind, the courtiers and clans who support the second prince see that Liu Yan, the son of heaven, has given up on them, and they all roared angrily, "The winner is the king, the loser Kou, brothers, today, fight!" ”

Seeing this, the party of the great prince who was in full momentum drew his sword and shouted in unison, "All the ministers, exterminate the traitors, just today, kill!" ”

The war drums thundered, the two armies fought, swords, guns and halberds, the cold light shone on the sky, and within an hour, tens of thousands of heads of the Second Prince's Party fell to the ground.

In the end, the beautiful princess Zhang Diewu, holding the second prince in her arms, stood alone on the battlefield full of corpses.

All the courtiers, generals, tyrants, and soldiers all looked at Liu Yan, and kept shouting, 'Kill the demon star, calm the world, kill the demon star, and secure the world'.

Liu Yan couldn't bear it anymore, glared at everyone angrily, pulled out Swallow Hong again, a beam of golden light rose to the sky, and a slender dragon was attached to his forearm, he was ready to fight to the death with these rebellious ministers and thieves.

"Your Majesty!"

A crisp shout like a warbler called Liu Yan back from his anger, and he looked for prestige, Zhang Diewu was squinting at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, smiling at him.

In the face of death, Zhang Diewu was not afraid, her eyes were as bright as meteors, she smiled at Liu Yanyan, and said softly, "The concubine never likes to embarrass Your Majesty", then lowered her head and kissed the forehead of the baby in her arms, picked up a blood-stained sword at will, and when it was in the air, the mother and son broke the blue sky together.

There is only love in the world, without the slightest reason, the princess used simple and simple words, left the last beauty in Liu Yan's heart, her love, through his heart, a seed of revenge, in his heart like a sycamore branch crazy growth, thirty years later, finally grew into a towering tree, changed the world.

On this night, under the support of the courtiers and lords, Liu Yan, the son of heaven, stood alone in the sea of corpses and blood, with tears in his eyes, and issued an edict to make the eldest prince Liu Huai the crown prince.

......

All the sounds are silent, Chang'an is in a mess, perhaps God has mercy, snowflakes the size of goose feathers fall silently, quietly purifying the filth of the world.

A young man in white clothes with a sword, with a low crown and a sword, drilled out of the cellar of a homestay in the north of the city, his eyes were sharp, vigilantly probing the Quartet, after confirming that there was no danger around, he returned to the cellar, carefully picked up the baby boy who was sleeping in the quilt, clinged to the root of the wall, and quickly touched the north gate of Chang'an City.

Then, the man's eyebrows were frowned, and he jumped up, climbed over the city, and went north silently.

After leaving the city, he did not stop for a moment, and ran wildly, and the twenty-mile road was in a flash, and a pine forest jumped in front of him.

At this point, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief, carefully held the baby boy in his arms, and skillfully entered the forest.

In the forest, a black-clothed swordsman was waiting quietly in a rockery, and when he saw the young man coming, the black-clothed swordsman hurriedly came to greet him, and when he saw that the young man was in a hurry and his qi was disordered, he hurriedly asked, "Defeated?" ”

The young man Gu Bo was not surprised, and said indifferently, "Defeated, the family tyrants who supported the second prince were all slaughtered, and Chang'an City has no place for me Liu Quansheng to stand up." ”

The black-clothed swordsman's heart was like thunder, he looked at the baby boy in the young man's arms, his eyes rolled, he was suddenly surprised, and asked, "This is?"

The young man said coldly, "Sebeili, you shouldn't know, don't ask, you should know, I will tell you one day." What about my horse? Where is it now? ”

The black-clothed swordsman named Sai Beili took a deep breath and pulled out a bloody horse from behind the rockery.

The young man didn't talk nonsense, and immediately saddled up his horse and reined in the north.

"Sai Beili, you remember, thirty years later, I, Liu Quansheng, will make a comeback, and it is not yet known whether the next emperor of the Han Dynasty will be called Liu Huai!"

After Liu Quansheng left a sentence, the horse roared, and the healthy horse under the seat raised its head and neighed wildly, raised its hooves and galloped, and disappeared into the white snow in the blink of an eye, leaving only Sai Beili, who was dressed in black, feeling the mighty howling cold wind, standing alone in the winter wind for a long time.

What the world doesn't know is that Liu Quansheng, the fish that slipped through the net, and the baby in his arms set off a storm in the Han Empire.
