The last lecture of this first volume is still left to me, an unfilial son, to write! - Liu Quansheng

......

Lingyuan City, the sunset, I climbed the wall and looked into the distance, except for Qingheju, Lingyuan City was full of lights, and I was embarrassed under the emotion.

When I was young, I had great ambitions, but I was the king of the world, and now, I have exhausted all my youth before I pacified a small county, and my life has been halfway through, but the light boat has only passed a heavy mountain.

Thirty-four years ago, Taoyue, with a cry, I fell to the ground in Lingyuan City. Since then, the clear water of Qingheju has carried all the memories of my childhood, and all the good and bad things happened in this small courtyard.

Back then, my two brothers were named Desheng and Latham respectively. When it was my turn, the word 'Kwon Sheng' fell behind my surname along with my father's greed.

Inheriting power and succession, holding power and mutating, seizing power for profit, and using power for personal gain are all for power.

Reviving the clan and returning to power, my fate seems to have been predestined since birth.

I don't know if this rebirth is right or wrong, the merits and demerits of my life are better left to future generations!

......

I admit that among the three brothers of our Liu family, I am the worst and the worst one, and all the ideas of stealing chickens and dogs, digging birds and catching fish when I was a child came out of my mouth. At that time, the eldest brother did it, I used my brain, the second brother was punished, and the entire Ling Yuan, who was stirred up by our three little yellow hairs, was turned upside down, and he couldn't live in peace.

Thinking of those heartless days in my childhood, a smile rose on the corner of my mouth, and now I think about it, it would be good if I could live carefree with my two older brothers without learning for the rest of my life.

If that were the case, there would be no fratricidal brothers and family ruins now!

In the early spring of the age of ten, that is, twenty-four years ago, my father sent me to the Xianda School Palace in Linzi County after careful consideration, he had already arranged a life for me, I was a teenager to seek knowledge, when I was young to mediate the temple, when I was middle-aged, I became famous, I inherited the ancestral industry when I succeeded, and then revitalized the lintel, and completed my father's ultimate long-cherished wish of 'one door and three emperors'.

But I thought: this may be the biggest mistake of my father's life.

Admittedly, it was from this moment that I parted ways with my family. From that day on, I was no longer a teenager, and my study career in a foreign country gradually alienated me from my family and the people in my family, and the education I received also made me and my father's original intention begin to deviate.

However, occasionally recalling the juvenile period, the summer night wind, it seems that there is always an unfinished dream, a spring and autumn dream to revitalize the lintel.

Under the words and deeds of the old Confucian master, I am grateful for the respect of the text, the harmony of the joy, the reading of poetry and books, wandering between the heavens and the water, and not feeling the spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Five years later, with a bit of talent and luck, I passed the graduation examination of the six virtues, six elements, and six arts and eighteen homework courses of the school palace in the year of binding my hair, and became the first person to successfully 'clear' since Jiazi.

Also in the same year, I was loved by the world, and my classmates Xia Qing and Deng Yan were awarded the reputation of "Quzhou Three Heroes", and for a time, it was rumored to be the beauty of Quzhou. Those days were the happiest and proudest time for my father, and even the letters my father wrote to me were less serious and more gratifying.

If everything goes according to my father's wishes, after I finish my studies, my father will use the huge network of connections that the family has operated for many years and the huge connections left by my grandfather in the Gyeonggi court to recommend me to become an official in the court, and then step by step, push me and the Liu family to new glory.

However, my father's calculation was wrong.

What this century-old school palace has brought me is not only the mountains of books and the sea of literature, but also the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period!

In the collection of Xianda Academy, I read about the prosperity of filial piety, the southern and northern Qin, the imperial beacon smoke, the emperors of the two dynasties, and the father, the ambitious county hero, his ambition is not limited to the 'three generations of emperors'!

......

A hundred years ago, after Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi implemented Chen Qun's 'Nine Grades Zhongzheng System', the clan as a political force, has begun to emerge, in the Three Kingdoms period, the most prominent clan, is Cao Wei's Sima family and the Eastern Wu Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang four families, at the end of the Three Kingdoms, these families have completely controlled the political, military, and economic lifelines of Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, and set aside the imperial power.

After the revival of the Han Dynasty, internal and external troubles, the wise and close to the demon Prime Minister Zhuge was busy with government and military affairs, and did not pay much attention to the affairs of the world, and at that time, the kings were rampant, the state pastor was prosperous, the empire was bright, and the family was pressed by the bullet and did not dare to breathe, in the eyes of the kings and state pastors, it was really like a watchdog.

Forty-six years ago, the princes and kings of the empire took the opportunity of the northern nomadic power Daqin to invade the territory, and at the same time raised troops to rebel.

Later, at the turbulent time of the change of royal power, Liu Yan's biological mother, Guo Ke, the empress dowager of the dynasty, in order to help Liu Yan win the throne among the princes, conspired with the tiger and colluded with the emperor's uncle Liu Gan, based on the Guo family of the family, united the most powerful 28 families in the world, and at the same time supported Liu Yan as the emperor, which led to the current emperor Liu Yan.

At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, he was busy stabilizing the situation, drawing blueprints, and remembering the merits of the dragon, so he did not pay much attention to the wanton indulgence of the clan. During this period, some old clans such as the Lingyuan Liu clan and some emerging clans gradually rose, they were dissatisfied with the distribution of interests and arbitrary power of the twenty-eighth clan in the local area, and gradually gathered under the account of the second prince, and started an open and secret struggle with the twenty-eight families who supported the eldest prince.

The water is full and overflowing, four years after His Majesty ascended the throne, the twenty-eight families took the initiative to attack, and the two families framed the two princes, and the two parties finally fought in Chang'an, Gyeonggi, and met each other, and finally, the twenty-eight families narrowly won, they almost killed all the two princes that night, forced to death His Majesty's favorite concubine and the second prince, and let His Majesty set up the eldest prince as the crown prince that night, since then, the families have been unscrupulous in the territory of the empire, like princes and kings, and it is from then that that His Majesty began to form the twelve internal guards of the empire, Prime Minister Lu Zheng went out of the mountain, played chess step by step, and set out to eradicate the clan.

These two incidents are known in history as the 'Heavenly Demon Case' and the 'Two Sons Seizing the Heir'.

It was also from that night that I quietly returned to Lingyuan City from Chang'an, Gyeonggi.

The various aspects of the twenty-eighth family will be explained one by one below, and Quan Sheng will not repeat them here.

......

Getting back to the point, there is always a dream of rivers and lakes when I am young, I and Xia Qing and Deng Yan finished classes in the Xianda School Palace, our brothers three of us and three horses, began to travel the world, we watched the scenery of the Taibai Pond together, Penglai rose to the sea and looked at the tide, walked through the Bashu Trail, passed through the vast Gobi, drank wine next to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, slept in the Wolf Juxu Mountain, sang about the wine, and was really happy.

On Kunlun Mountain, I happened to meet a woman, named Ke Jing, the woman was plain and snowy, exquisitely flawless, I repeatedly pursued, but I couldn't ask for it, in desperation, I swept the snow of thousands of mountains with one sleeve, and the snow of thousands of mountains was filled with wine, and entered the realm of things.

Tonight, I stood at the head of Lingyuan City, facing the cold wind, trying to recall what she looked like back then, but I only had plain clothes and white shirts.

Ha ha! It's good if you don't remember, so you can save yourself more troubles, and sometimes, forgetting, it's also a kind of happiness.

......

Although the wandering rivers and lakes are free, they still need to be famous. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and the joy and chic when we started to travel have turned into malaise and tiredness, and under the urging of our respective families, our three brothers decided to return to the Central Plains.

When our three brothers returned from the Western Regions and arrived at Fengzhou Liangxin Fort, our three sons had to meet their lifelong mentor Dongfang Chunsheng, under his encouragement, my brothers were proud of spirits, and ripped off the recruitment list posted by His Majesty all over the country, and ran to Chang'an.

On that day, I went in and out with my grandfather, and my grandfather sent him back to Lingyuan under the send-off of a hundred officials, and I was under the watchful eyes of the people of Chang'an, and I entered Gyeonggi in a chic manner, and our grandfather and grandson stood at the east gate, attracting thousands of chic!

If you follow the plot, I will be the best in popularity, talent, fame, and officialdom, and I will eventually be crowned the prime minister, and that day will also be passed on as a peerless story.

I tightened my shirt and smiled: I'm sorry, I couldn't leave this heroic stroke in the history books after all!

......

Listen to Jiang Song at night and fold plum willows, and teach people to run through Chang'an.

When the three of my brothers first arrived, they were honored by His Majesty, and they were able to look up to Tianwei, and in the Weiyang Palace, after I presented the "Seventeen Treatises on Shujia", His Majesty was very happy, and the three of me were drunk for three days, and immediately gave the official gift.

On that day, I stood on the dragon's head plain, with a wine jug on my waist, proud of the imperial capital.

Shi Feng knew that he had a special grace, and on that day I raised my wine and swore that day: I Liu Quan will devote what I have learned to help His Majesty sweep away the government and government, stir up turbidity and promote purity, turn the tide of the tide, and settle down in the future.

However, the affairs of the imperial court are not so easy to handle, and the food of the heavenly family is not so delicious.

After I entered the court, although I was full of enthusiasm, although my father and grandfather's protégés and former officials helped each other, but the temple mediation, the constraints of the family and countless human past, still made it difficult for me to move an inch, and I ran into walls everywhere.

Later, as I became more and more involved in the world, I realized that since I had fallen into His Majesty's net, I naturally could not become someone else's fish, and the temple at that time was too few places for His Majesty to take me to swim freely!

After only two years in the dynasty, I found that the power of the clan could already influence the government, and as long as they united, they could change the king's edict at will, and four or five great clans could subvert the dynasty's decree in one state when they joined together.

The problem of the clan has reached the point where I have to face it squarely, and I began to reflect and begin to look for solutions in the intertwined network of relationships.

More than ten years ago, on a night greater than majestic, I suddenly woke up in my sleep, looked out the window, thunder suddenly, lightning like a shock, tore apart the night, cut through the sky, and brought a ray of light to the dark land of China.

I rushed out the door, standing with my back to the sky, staring intently at the remaining cracks in the sky.

For a long time, I laughed, the heavy rain is in a hurry, the heavy rain is in a hurry!

I finally found the answer to save the empire from the way of heaven and earth.

Break and stand!
