The Wei State was turbulent, and the Xia Kingdom, which was famous among the four countries, was also turbulent at this time.

During the period of the Ten Kingdoms, the Xia State still belonged to a small and unnamed country among the Ten Kingdoms, and the rebellion of the Ten Kingdoms broke out, and the Xia State relied on the general Li Kang and the military division Ji Wushuang, who rose against the sky in the Rebellion of the Ten Kingdoms, and gradually grew into a big country that could compete with the three major overlords of Wei, Guizhou and Wu.

Later Ji Wushuang was driven back to the temple of Xia by Li Dang because of the fire of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liangcheng by Yan State, and another talented strategist of Xia State, Xiaotianji Zhuge Hou, was thus revealed in front of the world.

When Zhuge Hou first came out of the mountain, most people in the world didn't know the horror of this wise man, but the people of Xia knew it, and when it came to talent, Zhuge Hou and Ji Wushuang were on par, and even, the Tsing Yi soldier of Wu State once said that when it came to strategizing, Zhuge Hou was even better than Ji Wushuang.

Originally, the rest of the countries were waiting for Ji Wushuang to be demoted to kill Xia Guo, but it was a pity that they underestimated Li Kang, underestimated Li Gan's Li Jiajun, and also underestimated the old man who was in his last years.

Under the leadership of Li Dang and the new military advisor Zhuge Hou, the Xia Kingdom swept the world almost devastated, destroying the remaining small countries in one fell swoop.

Since then, the world has been divided into four parts, and it has stood in all directions.

It was also at this time that the world discovered that the old man Xiaotianji, who was unknown in the world, was so terrifying.

After the great victory of the Xia State, Li Dang was recalled to Kyoto by the Xia Emperor Zhang Yiyun and was named the general of Tianwu. The title of these four words, even if it is the history of the entire Xia Kingdom, is the first time.

For a time, Li Kang's power reached its peak in an instant in the Xia Kingdom.

There are even many idlers who sigh that many people in Xia only know Li Kang to a certain extent, but do not know Zhang Yiyun, the emperor of Xia.

But even so, Zhang Yiyun still has no suspicion for Li Kang, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, a generation of famous generals Li Kang, the man who created a historical miracle, died unexpectedly in the border city of Dongfeng at the junction of Guizhou and Xia.

Although Li Kang died at the hands of Sun Yixiao, one of the six famous generals in the world, the world still felt that Li Kang's death was too strange, and the man who frightened the whole world died too simply.

There are even rumors that it was Emperor Xia Zhang Yiyun who was afraid of Li Kang's power, so he joined forces with Qianguo to get rid of Li Kang.

However, there is no basis for this statement after all.

However, the various things that happened in the country in the following summer made the world begin to think deeply.

After Li Kang's death, Li Kang's only son, Li Luo, was named the Marquis of Zhongyong and was hereditary. Later Xia Emperor Zhang Yiyun touched the former Huainan King Zhao Zhan because of the cutting of the domain, and after the order to cut the domain was issued, Zhao Zhan was the first to lead the army to rebel.

At that time, Li Luo, who was a senator with the army, first showed his edge, led the army to make a detour of thousands of miles, in the rear of Huainan, occupied the land of Sanzhou in the south of the Huainan territory, and then conquered Huainan, the base camp of Zhao Zhan, and decided the battle in a battle, so far forced it to Wu State.

But it didn't take long for Zhao Zhan to make a comeback with the support of Wu, and under the attack of the army, the soldiers of Xia were defeated one after another.

Zhang Yiyun boldly used Li Luo as the generalissimo under the advice of the ministers, and it was also this time that Ji Wushuang, who had been guarding the temple for more than ten years, re-emerged from the mountain, joined forces with Li Luo, opened the water of the great river, flooded the three states in the south, and killed Zhao Zhan's spirit in a war.

Xia won a big victory, but a strange thing happened, Li Luo, who was supposed to return to the dynasty with victory and receive rewards according to his merits, actually "laid" in Huainan, and asked Zhang Yiyun, the emperor of Xia, for a will to be crowned king.

The approximate meaning is that he, Li Luo, wants to be the prince of Huainan, and wants Huainan and the places of the three states in the south.

This move, interpreted from some angles, is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rebellion or a threat.

Just when the world was figuring out what Li Luo's intentions were, Zhang Yiyun agreed unprecedentedly, which is indeed unpredictable for the monarch and ministers.

But the disguised harmony could not last long, just when Li Luo announced that he was going to Qianguo, Zhou Ruchun, the current general of Xia State, unexpectedly appeared in Thunder City, Li Luo's must-pass place, and led heavy troops to encircle and suppress Li Luo.

The appearance of Zhou Ruchun finally made the world understand that the relationship between Li Luo and Zhang Yiyun has long been on the same page.

Li Luo is worthy of being a general, even if Zhou Ruchun led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress Li Luo, he still let Li Luo swagger away from Thunder City, and when he left, Li Luo also set a fire in Zhou Ruchun's military camp.

According to the news from Kyoto, Xia Kingdom, after learning that Zhou Ruchun had missed, Xia Emperor Zhang Yiyun had a sudden attack and was bedridden.

The entire Xia Kingdom was shocked by this news, and the originally loud and loud countries seemed to be quiet at this moment. It's just that everyone knows that behind this quiet and peaceful, there is a raging storm hidden.

Unlike the external and internal troubles of the Wei State, which are manifested in the open, the storm in the Xia State is like a vicious abscess hidden in the body, which is constantly spreading pus......

Kyoto, the summer country, the temple of nourishing the heart.

The whole palace was silent and peaceful, and everyone was in a hurry and nervous.

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, countless ministers were standing anxiously at the door of the hall, waiting for the reply of the imperial doctor in the hall.

Zhang Yiyun's head disease is already old. Something is wrong, but this time the attack is the most serious, and he has been in a coma for three days and three nights, no wonder the ministers are panicking, the purpose of the empress of the Qianguo State is already obvious, and she is trying to break the pattern of the four kingdoms with a so-called banquet to invite relatives.

If something happened to Zhang Yiyun at this juncture, coupled with Li Luo's ambiguous attitude at the border, Xia Guo would probably become precarious in an instant.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and an old man with a goatee and dressed in the clothes of a physician walked out of the hall.

A group of ministers instantly surrounded and asked about Zhang Yiyun's situation.

Here, some people do care about Zhang Yiyun's life and death and plan for the Xia Kingdom, but there are also some people who are for the princes they support, if Zhang Yiyun really has three longs and two shorts, then the battle for the throne is probably inevitable.

These hidden thoughts and contests are not even more complicated than the current situation in the Xia Kingdom.

The imperial doctor waved his hand, interrupted everyone's questioning, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty has woken up, but you still need to recuperate, my lords, let's go back first." ”

Hearing this, some people were happy and some were worried, and some people were indeed relieved that Zhang Yiyun had woken up, but some people with ulterior motives were inevitably a little disappointed.

Zhang Yiyun is not yet half a hundred years old, and under normal circumstances, he has at least one or two decades of life.

With the words of the imperial doctor, the ministers slowly left.

At this moment, the imperial physician looked at an old man in the crowd who was thin and wore a virtuous crown and said, "Prime Minister, please stay." ”

Prime Minister Xue Qingsi stopped, looked back at the Imperial Doctor and said, "My lord, who are you?" ”

The imperial physician pulled Xue Qingsi aside, lowered his voice, and said, "Your Majesty actually woke up yesterday, and I have been cultivating all day. ”

After taking a deep look at the Imperial Doctor, Xue Qingsi nodded heavily.

Even in broad daylight, the heart hall that closed the door of the temple still couldn't see the five fingers, and the only light source came from the tung oil lamp on the huge pillar.

Walking through the splendid hall, Xue Qingsi finally came to the back of the hall and saw Zhang Yiyun lying on the dragon collapse with his eyes closed.

Zhang Yiyun is not very old, now he is only forty-six out, and he looks like a heroic man, but after this incident, Zhang Yiyun, who was previously a martial artist, seems to have become a lot of vicissitudes overnight, and there are many more gray hairs on his head.

Feeling Xue Qingsi's arrival, Zhang Yiyun slowly opened his eyes, even if he was not energetic, but those sharp eyes still made people shudder.

Xue Qingsi saluted slightly: "See Your Majesty." ”

Waving his hand, Zhang Yiyun said a little tiredly: "The prime minister doesn't need to be polite." ”

After a pause, Zhang Yiyun asked again: "By the way, what are the two rabbit cubs Zhang Cheng and Zhang Liang doing these days?" ”

Raising his head, Xue Qingsi glanced at Zhang Yiyun in some surprise.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Yiyun summoned him this time, and he was bound to ask Li Luo about his current situation, but he never expected that Zhang Yiyun's first question was the situation of the crown prince and the second prince.

Bowing slightly, Xue Qingsi said slowly: "After Your Majesty fell ill, the crown prince and the second prince have come to visit Your Majesty many times, and the affairs under their jurisdiction have only been handled in an orderly manner, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

After Xue Qingsi finished speaking, the entire room suddenly fell into silence for a long time.

Zhang Yiyun closed his eyes again and didn't say a word, so Xue Qingsi didn't speak, and bowed to the side.

"Rest assured?" After a while, Zhang Yiyun suddenly sneered and said, "My prime minister, do you know that you are guilty of defrauding the king? ”

Xue Qingsi suddenly looked panicked, knelt on the ground and said, "Wechen is guilty, but Wechen really doesn't know what's wrong." ”

Turning his head with great effort, Zhang Yiyun took a deep look at Xue Qingsi, who seemed to be panicked on the ground, but his eyes were as calm as water, and said, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, then I will say it for you." ”

Xue Qingsi lowered his head again and did not speak.

Zhang Yiyun let out a long sigh and muttered, "You should know that my two good sons, Zhang Liang and Zhang Cheng, are not fuel-efficient lamps." ”

"Let's talk about Zhang Liang first, in fact, I have always known that he disobeys his imperial brother Zhang Cheng and has the intention of coveting the throne, otherwise, he would not have raised a personal soldier in the col of Nanshan."

"Prime Minister, the map of our Xia Kingdom is all in your head, let me ask you, how far is Nanshan from Kyoto, he is a prince, and what does he want to raise a personal soldier who is close to tens of thousands?"

Facing Zhang Yiyun's questioning, Xue Qingsi let out a long sigh and did not speak.

Zhang Yiyun continued: "As for the crown prince Zhang Cheng, not to mention, he and Meng Chang, the guard in charge of the forbidden army in the palace, have always been very close, and I have been beating him, but it's a pity, how can the emperor's family have affection?" ”

"My two sons, I'm afraid they wish I died soon......"
