On the day of the winter solstice, a heavy snow announced the arrival of winter to the world, every household in the imperial city closed the doors and windows, and the family leaned around the fire, the richer families would make a plate of dumplings, and the poorer ones would boil some vegetable porridge, but what they said in their mouths was that the Chu State was now at war, and the next time they ate such a good thing, they would have to wait for the New Year.

Walk through the streets and alleys all the way to a beautiful mountain outside the south of the city, this mountain is called Red Maple Mountain, named after the maple trees that are planted, once it is autumn, the fiery red of the mountain seems to be on fire and the beauty is amazing.

Even if it is the winter solstice, the fiery red maple leaves have not fallen, the sky is beautiful with the snow white is also the scenery is excellent, if you scald the pot of rice wine to half a pig's ear, it may be more meaningful than the mountains and fields.

There is a palace at the foot of the mountain, at this time, the singing and dancing in the palace is peaceful and bright, countless women with good faces and graceful figures are dancing enchantingly, and the waist like a water snake twists up, people can't help but want to take it into their arms and feel the softness and bonelessness carefully.

On the first seat, an obese middle-aged man in civilian clothes, gluttonous with the dazzling delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of him, and a charming and touching woman is chuckling and sitting on the side, using her own personal belongings to help the man wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth.

On the side of the man, there was a handsome young man in a python robe, who was familiar to him and was His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu who Lin Zheng had seen in Confucianism.

Below the right side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are a group of Confucians and those in power who advocate the Restoration, while below the fat man's left hand is a group of conservative people, among whom is the most feared general of Confucianism.

The palace is facing the red maple mountain, taking advantage of the night to look at the palace, the white has been piled up a thick layer in the red maple mountain, relying on the snowflakes to refract the bright lights in the palace, two or three out of the fiery red revealed, the beauty is intoxicating.

"Wu'er, this is a family banquet, you don't have to be so restrained. The fat man turned his head and poured wine for the young man in the python robe.

"Son-in-law, thank your father. The young man in the python robe hurriedly got up, but was held down by the fat man.

"I said this is a family banquet, don't be too restrained, is it a joke that I pour wine for my son?" The fat man glanced at the young man reproachfully: "You say, is this a mess of generations?"

The civil and military officials below all laughed dryly and didn't dare to participate.

"The retainers have been taught. The young man in the python robe drank all the wine in the cup, got up and took off the python robe in public, carefully folded it and put it aside.

The ministers who watched this scene were shocked, and took off the prince's python robe in front of the emperor?

"Is it beautiful?" the fat man asked the young man as if he hadn't seen it, pointing to the red maple mountain in front of the palace, filling the wine glasses of the two with one hand.

"Beauty, so beautiful that it shouldn't exist in the mortal world, so beautiful that it should exist in the fairy world. The young man's eyes were fascinated, and when he inadvertently looked at the beam, he was awake in an instant.

"When do you think this mountain is the most beautiful?" the fat man picked up the wine glass and poured the elixir into his mouth.

"I think it's the reddest when it's the reddest. The young man picked up the wine glass and fell into the memory, when the mountain was the most red, there would always be a woman who took him to the mountain to collect the most beautiful maple leaves.

"I think the most beautiful time in this mountain is the scene of the falling phoenix now. The obese man said leisurely.

The young man was about to drink, but when he heard the word Luofeng, the glass wine glass fell out of his hand in a trance, and there was a crisp sound that shattered into countless pieces.

When the ministers below heard the sound of smashing the glass, they immediately looked at the young man in horror

"Erchen may be drunk, and he can't hold this cup steadily. The young man just smiled awkwardly, and called the maid to help clean up the spilled wine and glass fragments, while he went down to change his clothes.

The ministers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and if it was really a cup drop, it would not be so lightly stated.

Seeing the young man go down, Mr. Zixian exchanged glances with another old man beside him, and then Mr. Zixian left quietly, and the master of the immortal stroked the top would not alarm anyone if he wanted to leave.

When the prince came back again, he was no longer wearing a silver python robe, but a five-clawed dragon robe woven with gold threads that glittered in the light!

The ministers below were shocked when they saw it, and the fat man turned his back to the young man, so he didn't find it at the first time, and when he turned around, he was immediately furious when he saw the golden dragon robe: "You rebel, are you really going to rebel?!"

General Wang frowned, turned his head, and sure enough, he found that Zixian, who he had been staring at, was gone.

"It's impossible to talk about rebellion, it's just that the Chu State doesn't need you, a faint king. The young man flicked the hem of his clothes: "After tonight, the monarch of Chu is my Chu Yujiang." ”

"Rebel, do you think you can succeed? Can you succeed against your Lao Tzu?" the fat man smashed the jade wine jug towards Chu Yujiang.

Chu Yujiang did not dodge or dodge, and the next moment the jade wine jug was caught casually by the Confucian Confucian who had been hiding and protecting Chu Yujiang.

"General Wang!" the fat man hurriedly retreated, hiding behind General Wang, the commander of Gujia Pass.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already arranged an army of 100,000 outside the palace, no matter how many masters he has prepared, he can only fall short without military power. General Wang drew his sword and comforted the fat man.

"General Wang, this is too early, right?" At the gate of the palace, General Li walked into the palace with his white head.

"Li Fengxian!" General Wang frowned and called out General Li's name.

"It's me, Wang Luyao, you really know the horsepower of Lu Yao, you have seen people's hearts for a long time, you are still loyal to such a faint king, if you are loyal to Chu Yujiang now, it is still too late. General Li said with a sneer.

"The rebellion can still be said to be so high-sounding, General Li, aren't you afraid that Old Man Li will know about it?" General Wang knew that with General Li in his 100,000 army, he might not be able to enter, and now he can only rely on the three hundred guards around the emperor.

"Your Majesty, quickly call three hundred guards. "General Wang is also a master of the Forty Tricks of the Immortals, but in the face of the Confucian Confucianism and General Li, who is already in front of the door of the old gentleman Zixian who doesn't know where to hide, he has no chance of winning at all.

"It's here. The obese man said.

Sure enough, the next moment, a large number of masters poured in from all around the palace, these people moved quickly and concisely, and they were quite skilled in cooperating with each other, and the first person exuded strength all over his body.

Seeing that the three hundred guards were standing in front of the fat man, Da Ru and General Li were not in a hurry, they just stood in place and looked at the fat man coldly.

"My lord, there are 200,000 troops fighting outside the palace. The powerful man whispered in the fat man's ear.

"You say I'm a faint king?" After hearing this, the fat man pointed at Chu Yujiang: "At the moment of the great enemy, you use this excuse to provoke internal fighting in Chu, and even transfer back 100,000 people from the front line to fight with me, I think you are carried away by power!"

"The necessary losses are acceptable, under my leadership, the state of Chu will inevitably prosper in the future and become a powerful country in the world, these losses are nothing. Chu Yujiang shook his head: "Mr. Zixian, let's do it." ”

"What?" the fat man looked around vigilantly when he heard this, and raised his head tremblingly after not finding the figure of Mr. Zixian around.

Old Mr. Zixian was really standing on the beam of the house, holding a crossbow arrow and aiming at himself.

Shout!

Fortunately, General Wang found out early and pulled the fat man, but because the man was too bloated, the arrow still hit his belly.

"Ahh

The obese man was in pain, and his eyes immediately turned red: "Son, do you really want to kill your father?!"

Chu Yujiang's expression was indifferent and he didn't say a word.

Old Mr. Zixian retreated with a missed blow, and there was no pity in his heart Originally, he didn't want to kill the fat man immediately, Chu Yujiang and the other person still had questions to ask him.

"Chu Fatty, let me ask you, how did Cifeng die?" The old man who had looked at Mr. Zixian before stood up from among the civil and military officials and looked at the fat man coldly.

Few people present can compare with the status of the people present, this person is the former national teacher of the Chu State and the abbot of the Chu State, Zhao Ruixi.

"I got a heart loss and hanged myself in this palace, and it has nothing to do with me. The obese man said.

"You fart!" Chu Yujiang's eyes were red, and he asked someone to bring a man with an excited expression.

This man is a close confidant of a once obese man, who disappeared without a trace after experiencing the suicide of Chu Yujiang's mother, Empress Cifeng, but he didn't expect to appear again in such a scene.

"You're not dead!" the fat man exclaimed when he saw this man.

"I'm not dead, you're scared, aren't you?" the man saw the fat man, his eyes full of hatred.

"Tell me everything you know. Chu Yujiang said.

"All of you here must know who I am, right?" the man stood in front of them.

"Isn't this a tensioner?" someone immediately recognized the man.

"Zhang Lishi is back, could it be that the queen's suicide is really hidden?"

The disappearance of Zhang Lishi and the time of the queen's hanging suicide are very consistent, so there are all kinds of speculations in the palace, but because there is no evidence, no one says anything, and now Zhang Lishi has appeared, and everyone understands the truth.

"I am Zhang Lishi, the emperor's henchman! Ten years ago, when the emperor ordered me to drug the queen and let me rape the queen, he brought someone to catch the adulterer, so that he could be a queen of abolition!"

As soon as Zhang Lishi's words came out, everyone immediately believed most of them, according to the law of Chu State, once the queen is established, even if the queen dies, the queen cannot be abolished, but if the queen is not careful, she can naturally be abolished.

"For the sake of this little demon beside him!" Zhang Lishi said, pointing to the bewitching woman who was hiding behind the fat man and wiping his mouth with a personal object.

"You brute!" the former national teacher flipped the table angrily: "If it weren't for my support all the way, you could become the emperor with your waste? You dare to mutilate my daughter in turn! Today I will chop you into meat puree and feed it to the dogs!"

After that, for some reason, he did not come, but the effect of the medicine had passed, and the queen woke up and hanged herself in this palace. ”

"And his disappearance was also arranged by him, originally to give me a sum of money to go to a safe place to spend the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to send someone to kill me! Now that I have been retributed, I have a terminal illness and have lived for a short time, you don't want to be innocent!"
