Chapter 1: The Last Dowry of the Imperial Family
The spring of the twelfth year of Donghua
Huachangwu, the king of Huayang, united with Hua Chang'an, the king of Huayin, sent troops from the north and west to attack Tianzi City, the imperial capital of the Xihua Empire at the same time, and they launched a mutiny on the grounds of "Qingjun's side".
The Xihua army suffered from the enemy on its belly and back, and retreated one after another, suffering heavy casualties.
The alliance army was unstoppable, and it only took three months to smash Huanglong, and it was already about to hit Tianzi City.
In the palace of Tianzi City, Emperor Hua Changwen anxiously walked around in front of the inner courtyard of the queen's bedroom.
"Ahh
"Wow, wow," a baby cried from the room.
An old woman in the palace walked out with tears in her arms and a baby in her arms, and she knelt on the ground and cried, "Congratulations to my king, happy dragon"
Hua Changwen hugged the child, extremely excited, and hurriedly asked, "How is the queen?" ”
The old woman cried and said, "The queen lost too much blood due to the birth of a dragon child, and she died."
Hua Changwen walked in quickly with the dragon in his arms, looking at the queen who was full of smiles, tears on his face, but no longer alive, he sat down in front of the phoenix bed, crying: "My queen, Qing'er"
The palace maid on the side hurriedly took the dragon and also knelt on the side crying.
An old eunuch hurriedly walked over and cried loudly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, King Huayang and King Huayin have entered the Son of Heaven City, and the palace is about to be unguarded, Your Majesty, let's run away."
Hua Changwen stood up tremblingly, the crown fell to the ground, his long hair covered his face, as if he was many years old, he said coldly, "Pass my order, order Kong Xiangguo to come to see me quickly"
The old eunuch hurriedly got up and ran out, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a purple robe walked in.
The middle-aged purple-robed man hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "Minister, Kong Lingyi, see Your Majesty."
Hua Changwen motioned for him to get up, pointed to the swaddling baby on the side and said, "Xiangguo, this is my dragon son, named Taiyan, named the prince, do you remember the bet back then?" If my queen is born to a prince, and you are a daughter, let them tie the knot, and now your daughter Peacock is also three months old, this bet can still be counted"
The purple-robed man replied solemnly, "Minister, don't dare to break your word."
"Haha, yes, yes" Hua Taizong smiled and walked to the guard's side and pulled out his sword.
He looked at the old eunuch and said, "You follow the first emperor, and then follow me, loyal to my royal family, hard work, before I die, I have to let you do the last thing, take Prince Taiyan, escape from the secret passage", after speaking, he took the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the old eunuch.
The old eunuch took the jade pendant and knelt on the ground, crying so much that his voice was hoarse, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Minister, obey the order."
Hua Changwen looked at Kong Lingyi and said, "You take my head, come down, this is the last dowry gift from my royal family to your daughter", Hua Changwen wiped his knife to his neck.
"No, Your Majesty," shouted the crowd.
Hua Changwen fell in a pool of blood, he smiled with tears in his eyes, "Qing'er, it's too dark under Huangquan Road, I'm here to accompany you."
"The emperor is dead," the old eunuch shouted in a hoarse voice.
The palace maids outside all cried and knelt down.
The old eunuch hugged the baby in his arms, wiped his tears, and ran towards the Huachangwen Palace.
"Kill, kill, kill the Dog Emperor, and we will be able to reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households" A large group of soldiers came with knives, and their bodies were covered with blood.
Two middle-aged generals walked out of the soldiers, Kong Lingyi knew, Huayang Wang Hua Changwu and Huayin Wang Hua Chang'an.
Kong Lingyi wiped her tears and said with a smile, "I respectfully invite the two princes to enter the palace, Hua Changwen has been forced to death by me, please come and check your body quickly"
The two middle-aged generals looked at Kong Lingyi suspiciously, holding the sword at their waists, walked in quickly, saw Hua Changwen lying in a pool of blood, and laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's the eldest brother, hahaha, Kong nerd, you have done a great job, let us avoid the infamy of killing the king and killing the brother, we should be rewarded"
Kong Lingyi immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "The country can't be without a king for a day, the two princes still have to hurry up and discuss who will ascend the throne as the emperor."
King Huayang looked at King Huayin with a smile and said, "Third brother, younger brother and sister and nephew, second brother, I have already sent someone to pick up Tianzi City, and soon you will be reunited."
When King Huayin heard this, the hand holding the sword slowly loosened, kneeling and saying with a wry smile, "Haha, see His Majesty the Emperor."
King Huayang walked into the queen's phoenix bed with a smile, and he suddenly scolded, "Kong nerd, what about people? What about the prince of the previous dynasty? ”
Kong Lingyi hurriedly said, "I don't know, I'm already here for the queen."
King Huayang hurriedly walked out of the dormitory and shouted, "Pass my order, arrest the prince of the former dynasty, see people in death, and see corpses in life, otherwise you all come to see you and destroy your ten clans."
"Yes," the brigade retreated in a panic.
The old eunuch held the dragon in his arms, walked out of the Son of Heaven City from the secret passage of the palace, and ran desperately all the way to the suburbs.
But how can a walking man compare to a horse rider, only half a day younger, he was surrounded by soldiers from all directions.
"Dead eunuchs, capture before you tie your hands," said a general on horseback and with a spear in his hand.
The old eunuch looked at the mountains and forests beside him, rolled around a donkey with the baby in his arms, and rushed in.
The general with a spear in his hand shouted, "All dismount, go into the forest to besiege and kill, get the head of the prince in front of the court, and reward a thousand taels of gold", and all the soldiers dismounted, and all of them chased into the dense forest.
A few times, he almost caught up, and kept slashing and killing the old eunuch, but this old eunuch was like he didn't want to die, covered in blood, and he kept rushing forward with the baby in his arms.
In this way, you chased after me, and for a day and night, the old eunuch was surrounded by soldiers and brought to the top of a cliff.
"Dead eunuch, you are very good at running, you should continue to run," the spear-wielding general gasped and scolded angrily.
The old eunuch scolded, "You rebels, sooner or later, you will be punished."
The spear-wielding general smiled and walked to the old eunuch step by step and said, "Haha, I don't know if there is retribution, hurry up and hand over the remnants in your arms and leave you a whole corpse"
The old eunuch turned around and looked at the abyss behind him, he looked up to the sky and said with a long smile, "Hahaha, the prince, the old slave is guilty, I can't let you die in the hands of rebellion, this is the last dignity of the royal family, the old slave should die, the old slave took the prince to heaven", after speaking, he held the baby and jumped off the abyss.
"Damn eunuch," the spear-wielding general scolded, looking at the bottomless cliff, holding in his hand a piece of swaddling cloth torn from the swaddling cloth, which was also unique to the royal family.
"General Yuan, they are so high, they will definitely die," a small soldier said as he looked at the bottomless cliff.
"Let's go, find a place to discuss how to get back to the King of Yuyang," the gun-wielding general turned around and left with the people
They chased the old eunuch for a day and a night, but their mouths were dry and hungry, so they went out of the mountains and forests to find a small tea post and sat down.
"General Yuan, if we go back like this, we will die, King Yang wants to see people in life, and he wants to see corpses in death, what should I do" A soldier was so nervous that he almost cried.
The spear-holding general drank his tea, looked at the yellow cloth in his hand and fell into deep thought.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the villain's lady gave birth to a unicorn this morning, and today's tea money is all free, hahaha" A middle-aged man in cloth said with a smile while carrying a teapot, and poured tea for the soldiers
The spear-wielding general took a sip of tea and suddenly got up, and stabbed the middle-aged cloth to death with one shot.
He wiped the blood stains on his face and sneered, "Don't blame me, be a bachelor in the next life"
He looked at the soldiers and ordered, "Go in and snatch the children, and kill them all."
"Who are you, why are you robbing my child, ahhhhhhhhhhhh
"Return my grandson, you bandits, I fought with you, ah... Return my grandchildren, grandchildren... Ahh
After a while, the soldier came out with a child in his arms, and the gun-wielding general laughed and said, "There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them."
He tore off the baby's swaddling clothes, wrapped the yellow cloth again, and ordered, "Set fire to this tea house for me, causing bandits to rob and kill."
King Huayang sat on the emperor's dragon chair, laughing, holding the heirloom jade seal in his hand, constantly playing with it.
"Report, General Yuan has come back from arresting the remnants of the previous dynasty," a small soldier ran up to the main hall and knelt to report.
When King Huayang heard this, he hurriedly laughed and shouted, "Quickly announce that Yuan Shicheng will enter the palace"
Kong Lingyi gritted his teeth, shedding tears that no one noticed, and he clenched his fists.
Yuan Shicheng held an infant baby, quickly walked into the hall and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister did not disgrace his mission, killed an old eunuch, and snatched back a child"
Huayang Wang was overjoyed and said, "Quick, hand it over and I'll take a look"
Yuan Shicheng held the baby in his arms, walked up to the dragon platform, and handed it to King Huayang.
King Huayang kept looking at the baby and smiled, "Sure enough, it was just born, and this cloth, the palace product, it seems to be my nephew, hahaha"
"Dead" he held the baby and smashed it under the dragon platform, the baby was thrown to the ground heavily, and he only had time to cry twice before he died.
Suddenly lightning and thunder roared, and thunder roared.
Kong Lingyi gritted her teeth and knelt down.
King Huayang watched Kong Lingyi kneel, slowly pulled out the sword at his waist, and walked towards Kong Lingyi step by step.
Kong Lingyi laughed and said, "Xiangrui, the Yang King's destiny has returned, the heavenly soldiers and generals have come to congratulate you, please choose a day to ascend the throne as the emperor, follow the apocalypse, end Xihua, please change the name of the country to Nanhua"
When King Huayang heard this, he immediately inserted the sword into the sword box and said with a smile, "Haha, sometimes nerds are also a bit useful, you forced Hua Taizong to death, you have contributed a lot, and you will be named a master in the future."
