Suzaku Street, Xue's house.

Late at night, the backyard of the Xue family was lit with faint lights, and crying could be faintly heard from the backyard.

"Juan'er, my Juan'er, you must survive this." The woman covered in wind and frost, with white hair dyed between her temples, lay in front of the bed and cried bitterly.

The man in his twenties was lying on the bed sickly, his face pale.

The maid helped him lean against the head of the bed and drank a bowl of red and bright things.

Pale lips, stained with red soup, leaving a touch of red.

It's a little oozing.

"Mother, have you borrowed your birthday?" Xue Huang asked vainly.

I heard that the blood of a boy can prolong life, and he drank a bowl from time to time in the past few days, but there was still no sign of improvement.

In the basement of the Xue family, two little beggars were hidden.

"How can it be so easy to borrow longevity? It takes people with good luck, profound well-being, and excellent characters to succeed in longevity. And such people, who generally have superior family backgrounds, where are they willing to borrow longevity? The woman sighed lowly.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xue Huang's eyes.

"I am the only heir of the Xue royal family, and it is their blessing to be able to borrow a birthday for me. Who would dare to refuse? ”

"Don't they want to regain their former dynasty? cough cough cough ......"

The man coughed violently, also coughing, and the mouth seemed more and more oozing.

"The people are white-eyed wolves, they ate my Xue family's food back then, but now they sing praises to Emperor Beizhao. Obviously, it was Emperor Beizhao who usurped the throne and overthrew the Xue family! ”

"How can the ancestors of my Xue family rest assured?"

Inside the room, there was a group of people kneeling.

The first few old men in front of them were already gray-haired, and their eyes were full of hatred.

In order to restrict the Xue family, although the emperor spared the Xue family's life, he did not allow the Xue family's three wives and four concubines to spread the branches.

The Xue family destroyed the country and suffered heavy losses.

Over the years, relying only on his wife, he has barely given birth to two sons and a daughter.

partial, only Xue Huang lived.

What's even worse is that Xue Huang has been married for ten years and has no children so far.

Emperor Xuanping sent people to monitor the Xue family all the time, and only in the middle of the night did the Xue family have breathing space.

"How's the preparations?" Xue Huang asked.

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone outside the door whispering a report.

"It's finished."

"If you succeed in borrowing your life, you just wait for tomorrow to take advantage of the sacrificial practice." The little maid replied in a low voice.

Xue Huang's eyes burst with joy.

Everyone in the house cried with joy: "It's saved, my Xue family is saved." ”

Xue Huang showed joy on his face: "Princess Zhaoyang, her birthday is excellent, and she is the most beloved daughter of Emperor Xuanping." If you can borrow her longevity, you will definitely be able to get some luck. ”

"You can also, hit Emperor Xuanping hard. Let Emperor Xuanping be in pain! Xue Huang sneered.

"Damn Emperor Xuanping, also taste the taste of heartache."

"Princess Zhaoyang can borrow her life for the Xue family and restore the Xue family's royal family, which is her blessing."

The gray-haired old man wept excitedly.

The woman immediately said, "Let people prepare the needs of tomorrow's sacrifice, and then present the emperor." ”

"My Xue family, I want to sacrifice the Xue family's imperial mausoleum."

"Although the Xue family is the deceased monarch, they have not sacrificed to their ancestors for decades, is Emperor Xuanping also going to stop it?" Xue Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked people to send letters to the palace.

At this moment, the emperor looked at the request in front of the case and sneered.

"It's really ridiculous, the Xue family has all died in the country, what kind of imperial mausoleum do you worship?"

"Okay, you will die, and I will not stop you."

The emperor immediately said: "The Xue family wants to sacrifice the emperor's tomb and the ancestors, so let them go." ”

And all the former ministers of the former dynasty were sent to their peers to pay respects. I will not pursue or condemn the crime. With a stroke of his pen, the emperor directly gave a great gift.

The big eunuch looked at the emperor, and His Majesty was stunned?

On weekdays, His Majesty can be afraid of the Xue family contacting the old ministers. Now, mad at it??

"Go, go. I will never condemn it. The Emperor smiled.

Borrow, borrow.

Whose are you borrowing bad, you borrowing the Chaochao??

What are you kidding, the first emperor has to come up to dream when he dies, and let me be careful. Can you borrow life successfully?

I let you see with your own eyes how the Xue family brought about its own destruction!

Save your thoughts!

The emperor beckoned to summon the secret guard, although he knew that the dynasty was powerful, but he did not dare to take it lightly.

"When the morning dawns, I will invite the court into the palace." If there is an obstacle to the court, the signal will be released immediately to interrupt the other party's birthday.

"Yes."

At dawn the next day, Lu Chaochao was invited into the palace.

Lu Chaochao rushed into the emperor's arms like a foal: "The emperor's father ......"

"Ouch, my heart. Quick, let me hug and see if I am fat? "The emperor picked it up, tsk, this little guy is so strong.

"Liang Qin said, girls can't say fat!" Lu Chao said in a milky voice.

"Okay, well, I won't say it. Really obedient...... "The more the emperor looks at it, the more he likes it."

immediately carried her out and went up to the highest building in the palace.

The prince also followed, and when he saw the nine-story tower, his expression darkened slightly.

The fists clenched quietly.

"What kind of tower is this?" Lu Chaochao looked at the nine-story tower in front of him and was quite surprised.

The nine-story tower is extremely strictly guarded, and in addition to the open side, there are many hidden guards.

"In this tower, there is a holy relic of Beizhao. It's what Xiyue coveted last time. The holy relic is something guarded by the royal family of the Northern Zhao Dynasty. ”

The outside of the nine-story tower is heavily guarded, and only the emperor and the crown prince can enter.

The emperor carried her up the tower step by step, the crown prince followed, and the eunuch waited outside the tower.

"This is a place that only emperors and princes can enter. On the top of the nine-story tower, is the heart of Beizhao. The things that have been guarded by the Northern Zhao Dynasty for generations. From generation to generation, it is only known that the heart of Beizhao is waiting for its master. ”

"It is rumored that the Northern Zhaoyuan is a barren swamp, with no grass and no grass, and it is difficult for living creatures to survive."

"It wasn't until the heart of Beizhao came that this land came to life. The earth is full of flowers, and the living beings are able to breathe. ”

"Of course, it's just a legend." The Emperor said with a smile.

The prince looked at the tower fixedly: "Perhaps, isn't it a legend?" "The voice is so low that I can't really hear it.

The emperor only took Lu Chaochao on the periphery and did not enter the tower.

The Imperial Mausoleum of the Xue family is not far from the capital, and standing in the nine-story tower, you can also glimpse some noise.

"The sacrifice has begun." The prince restrained his emotions and said in a light tone.

At this moment, the Xue family was also in a surging mood.

"Emperor Xuanping actually let the old ministers sacrifice together......" Xue Huang burst into tears.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the present dynasty does not recognize the people of the previous dynasty.

At that time, the Xue family ruled the country brutally, and the emperor rose up to resist and overthrow the tyranny.

In order to avoid greater turmoil, the main positions were reserved for cronies, and some of the former ministers were retained.

In order to beg the former emperor to spare the life of the Xue family, the old minister had already aroused the jealousy of the first emperor.

At this moment, when they saw the imperial tomb of the Xue family, the old ministers were all reddened in the corners of their eyes.

In the end, it is the king who once served.

The two groups of people were all with tears in their eyes.

The master was holding a whisk in his hand, wearing a Taoist robe, and was singing something in a low voice in front of the incense table at the moment.

Everyone in the Xue family knelt in front of the incense case, and Xue Huang knelt in the position of the leader.

"Bring something." The master stretched out his hand.

The woman handed Lu Chaochao's handkerchief.

The yellow paper on which Lu Chao's birthday was written on it was set on fire.

Throw it into a copper basin.

"Drop your blood in a basin of copper." The master said loudly.

Xue Huang quickly slashed his fingers and squeezed the blood into the copper basin.

Borrow, begin.
