(King of Beiheng) Wan Zidi relied on military power to kill his brother (Wan Ziliang), Ziliang's generation of bloodline successors were almost killed by the killer (Qiu Tiankui), and the ambitious Wan Zidi actually occupied the wife of his brother Ziliang, that is, the current lord of the harem (Queen Han).

Queen Han saw that her husband Wan Ziliang was killed by her brother, she was humiliated and unwilling to steal her life, she wanted to fight with the knife next to the bed when she was violated by Zidi, but the disparity in her own strength allowed Zidi to succeed.

Afterwards, Wan Zidi smiled evilly at Queen Han, as if he was the ultimate winner.

Empress Han saw Zidi turn around and come out of her bedroom, she had no hope of living, her chastity was defiled, and then she committed suicide by hanging herself.

"The concubine was defiled by the enemy, the jade body was defiled and her virginity was lost, and she had no face to face Your Majesty, so she had to kill herself, and I hope that she will turn into a ghost after her death and not let the enemy live in peace."

After that, Queen Han closed her eyes, a heartbroken tear flowed from the corner of her eye, she sighed helplessly and kicked off the wooden stool at the bottom of her feet, her neck was strangled by gauze, and she struggled several times in pain, and finally lost her breath.

Inside the imperial court

The main hall is a political council

All the ministers knew that Wan Zidi was an ambitious, greedy and unscrupulous person, in order to get the throne, Ziliang was killed, and many people were afraid of his authority and dared not speak out.

Wan Zidi in the council hall killed the minister (Wu Qingzhao) next to Ziliang in the name of removing the "traitorous minister", on the grounds that Wu Qingzhao had secretly provoked brotherhood in front of his brother Wan Ziliang, and the evidence was true and he was killed.

Zidi was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the scene in front of him, looking up to the sky and laughing, and then wearing a dragon robe, holding a jade seal, the ministers had no choice but to kneel and worship Zidi.

"Hahaha, brother, you are too merciful compared to my Zidi, and kindness is only enough to be a foil in front of this supreme throne."

The hall was lifeless, but Zidi held the jade seal in his hand, and his greedy eyes made him gradually lose himself in an instant about the hard-won rights.

When even if the eunuch in charge of the interior was asked to read the edict, the good name was "Zen to give power", which meant to show the outside world that he was justified, and his brother Ziliang took the initiative to give way to himself.

Zidi looked at the ministers with fierce eyes, stroked the golden dragon play orb on the dragon chair, and the left and right guards stood on the screen with swords, and if there were ministers who objected, they would kill them to set an example.

"Since then, I have been in charge of the court in this hall, the former lord is cowardly and incompetent, I will consider replacing him for the sake of the society, if there is anyone who is not satisfied, he will be killed."

The ministers looked at each other and didn't dare to say much, so they knelt down to worship Zidi in order to save their lives.

"Long live my king."

Zidi nodded happily and wanted to change the name of the previous dynasty.

"The affairs of the previous dynasty will be directly turned over here by this king, and the era name will be changed from today onwards."

Suddenly, a person walked out of the main hall from the inside, this person's face was dark and shiny, his eyes were like copper bells, his voice was like thunder, his body was strong, he was wearing a military uniform for a jade brocade red robe lion, seven feet high, and a token and a sword hung on his waist, it seemed that he was the Marquis of Yanping (Ji Xiuming).

Ji Xiuming was favored by the former court, deeply felt his righteousness, loyal, and heartbroken in the face of the king being killed by the villain, his eyes were fierce, his fists were clenched, and he pointed at the complacent Zidi in the court is scolding.

"Vertical son, who doesn't know that you seek power and usurp the throne, forced to be aggrieved and seek perfection, I Ji Xiuming is not greedy for life and afraid of death, the lord is humiliated, the minister dies, the lord dies, and the minister is worried, and he will never serve the two masters."

As soon as the words fell, Zidi's killer Qiu Tiankui stepped forward and drew his sword, and immediately stained Ji Xiuming with blood in the palace.

Zidi was afraid that the blood would defile the future enthronement and be unlucky, so he motioned for Qiu Tiankui to retreat with one hand.

"Stand down, why should I be infected with the plague of blood and light on the day of my accession to the throne?" , Zidi pretended to say a few words to retire Qiu Tiankui, but in fact, why didn't he secretly account for the revenge: "Yanping Hou, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ji Xiuming glared angrily, and he was not timid in the face of the high-ranking Zidi, he dared to oppose Zidi's oppression of the ministers, did not succumb to those who seized power and usurped the throne, and conspired with the social affairs.

"I, Ji Xiuming, like all the colleagues in the palace, have today's career by the grace of the previous king, but I am not under the grace of you, a sinister and vicious, murdering brother, a despicable and shameless and obscene person, why do you colleagues obey such traitors from now on?"

After hearing this, Zidi couldn't help but feel the fire in his heart, gritted his teeth, grabbed his shuangshu, and threw out the bamboo slips placed on the jade case and smashed them to Ji Xiuming's feet.

"Okay, on the day I ascended the throne, you and Wu Qingzhao would oppose it together, you want to be the second Wu Qingzhao! Fulfill you. ”

When Zidi ordered the warriors in the palace to behead Ji Xiuming, the right prime minister of the court, and assisted the important ministers of the three generations of emperors to come forward to adjust, he knelt on Zidi with a jade wat bamboo board in his hand, and pleaded for Ji Xiuming.

"The king is angry, the general is straightforward, and he can't hide things in his heart, not to mention that he was favored by the first king in his early years, and now that the first king is dead, it is inevitable that he will be sad and angry in his heart, and he should not worry about him in the face of serving the country and killing the enemy for many years."

Zidi sneered a few times, looked at the good old man in front of him, and thought about it, after the king's enthronement ceremony is successful, your Ji Xiuming's life will not live long.

"Okay, you are the third generation of patriarchs in the court, and today this king will buy this incompetent puppet in the name of the patriarch."

Ji Xiuming still wanted to be angry at Zidi, but the sharp-eyed right prime minister immediately interrupted Ji Xiuming, he smiled and bowed to change the topic.

"Ahaha, that, the king read the edict and stamped the jade seal, and then went to worship the emperors of the previous dynasties, well, the enthronement ceremony is complete."

Zidi frowned behind his hands, obviously unwilling to sacrifice to the previous emperors of previous dynasties, after all, in the era when his son-in-law was the emperor, it was difficult for Zidi to have a chance to turn over as a concubine, unless his own strength was enough to launch a seizure of power.

Seeing that the right prime minister said so, he couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"I was born in a prince's family, just because I am talented and intelligent, and I am strategic, and now I have established my own regime, why do I want to worship the first dynasty?"

The right prime minister said awkwardly, so he had to answer obediently.

"It doesn't matter if the king refuses, just go down the process a little."

Backwards

Outside the council hall.

The ministers retreated, and saw that all the soldiers and warriors outside the hall were Zidi's own soldiers and warriors, and they didn't dare to speak, and walked with their heads down, and the right prime minister in the crowd found (Yanping Marquis) Ji Xiuming.

The right prime minister quickly pulled Ji Xiuming to a place where there were few people, looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one, he took out a note and handed it to Ji Xiuming.

"The affairs of the previous dynasty involved too many innocent people, and now Zidi thieves are in control of the court, and righteous people want to avenge the former king, but the disparity in strength has failed to fruitless."

After that, the right prime minister sighed helplessly, Ji Xiuming in front of him opened the note, he looked at the white and black words on the note seriously, as if it was heavier than his own life, the words on this note were left by the former king "Wan Ziliang" before his death.

"This note was specially left to you by the first king, or you should read it yourself."

Looking at the font of the first king, recalling that he had made meritorious contributions and was hired by him, bit by bit, Ji Xiuming couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, endured his sadness, and asked.

"What did you say when you were killed?"

Right Cheng Xiangxiang thought about it, but pointed to the last note left by the previous king, Ji Xiuming hurriedly read it according to the meaning of the note.

"Marquis Yanping, the old man is really powerless to live in his twilight years, I hope you can rescue the young daughter of the first king, Ru Ting, and raise her as an adult, away from the land of right and wrong in Kyoto, if there are chasing soldiers to kill, let her follow your surname."

Ji Xiuming looked at the right prime minister in front of him, he immediately hugged his fists and saluted, facing the words of the first king was still like a holy decree, the right prime minister helped Ji Xiuming, and Ji Xiuming burst into tears.

"The minister does not live up to the trust of the previous king, and he will definitely assist the princess to become an adult."

The right prime minister patted Ji Xiuming's shoulder, he turned around and looked back at Ji Xiuming, with a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.

"If the first king had obtained this loyal minister as soon as possible, why did he die unexpectedly."

Dilapidated temples

The weather was cold, the goose feathers were snowy, and the piles of snow crushed the low tiled houses around them, and the pines and cypresses stood proudly in the snow, letting the wind blow.

The incense burner in the temple has long been lifeless, and several Buddhas and Arhats have lost their previous color.

A little girl with thin clothes, purple and red with a cold face and whole body, curled up her whole body.

The snow outside the temple was falling slowly, and she looked helplessly at the snow outside the temple, her little feet shrunk under the hem of her skirt, and she was already unconscious.

She is young, she is already in the prime of her life, she did not cry, she did not make trouble, but she was quiet and hateful, this daughter was the only surviving only daughter of the former king "Wan Ruting".

Wan Ruting hid alone in the temple, relying on the wild fruits outside every day to satisfy her hunger, and now, the snow is white, not to mention the wild fruits that fill her stomach and the dew is thirsty.

She naively hoped that someone would come to pick her up, and after not eating for a long time, she suddenly felt hungry, and the gangsters stood stiffly, unable to see the road clearly, and fell to the ground in one step, hurting her knee.

Wan Ruting was stubbornly lying on her stomach, it was very difficult to get a few breaths out of her lungs, and her fingers pointed to the hunger outside the temple to find food to fill her stomach, she cracked her dry mouth and tried to smile.

Who knows, on that night, she saw her father and mother in her dream, as well as her imperial grandmother, it was late, the snow was still falling, and the little girl "Wan Ruting" had already entered the "dreamland".

On the second day, early in the morning, a man walked into the temple and saw a little girl fainting on the ground.
