When the sun sets, like an old man's twilight years, he begins to fall silent.

This sunset burned half of the sky, and it was extremely gorgeous. It's just a precursor to this change.

When Gongziyu and King Jing met for the first time, the pattern of the Zhou Dynasty was destined to begin to change.

Summer and autumn are gone, and it is already winter.

This is a cold winter, destined to be cold to the bone. And this court also fell into freezing.

In the past six months, the court has begun to change dramatically. On the second day of the marriage between Gongzi Yu and Emperor Mingyue, a major event occurred in the court that shook the government and the opposition.

The left servant of Shangshu Province shot Yang Guogong, and there were hundreds of books.

Last year, when there was a drought in Lianzhou, Emperor Zhou took out 10 million taels of gold and personally ordered Yang Guogong to go south to Lianzhou to relieve the people.

Yang Guogong has been hereditary for generations, and his ancestors are the founding heroes of the country, and he has always done his best for the affairs of the Zhou Dynasty, but he did not expect Yang Guogong to be full of private pockets. Privately swallowed nine-tenths. Only a million taels of gold are left in the disaster relief.

Under the decreasing layers of the major officials in Lianzhou, the million taels of gold really reached the hands of the people only 100,000 taels.

100,000 taels, which seems like a lot. But in front of the millions of mouths in Lianzhou, where is there enough? Under the drought, the people have no food and cannot escape death.

There was a local master who couldn't bear it and secretly played it, but in the eyes of the major officials in Lianzhou, the master was assassinated on the second day.

The people were struggling to make a living, which eventually led to a riot among the people of Lianzhou. Yang Guogong accused the Lianzhou mob of being the remnants of the country, and sent troops to suppress it.

Lianzhou County is above Beidi County, very close to Poison Dragon Ridge. King Jing was ordered to come in person. With 300,000 Yanyang troops, he sent troops south to suppress the name of millions of Lianzhou.

Almost in a few days, Lianzhou was transformed into a dead city.

These 100 books are 100 crimes, ranging from the rape and murder of the people's daughter by the son of Yang Guogong, to the assassination of the former Chaoshang Shuling.

Since the death of Shang Shuling, Shangshu Province has been vacant, and the left and right servants are the main honor.

The death of Shang Shuling in the previous dynasty was originally when Emperor Zhou was fighting for the prince, and secretly ordered Yang Guogong to ask a strong man to assassinate Shang Shuling, and he had broken his opponent's wings.

Except for Emperor Zhou and Yang Guogong, no one knew about this matter. But today it is in the court.

This made Emperor Zhou sad for Yang Guogong. But the biggest of these white charges is Yang Guo's public and private communication with Yan Guo and smuggling weapons.

This is already a crime of treason, the crime is unforgivable, Emperor Longyan of Zhou was furious, ordered to take back the hereditary position of Yang Guogong, and beheaded all over the house.

The concubine of Yang Guogong is the concubine of King Jing, and the Lianzhou riot has involved King Jing. The civil and military officials all know that this Yang Guogong is the person of King Jing, and he is the biggest help, and among these crimes, there will be some connection with King Jing.

Emperor Zhou and King Jing are monarchs and ministers, but they are fundamentally father and son. Emperor Zhou still moved the father and son to avoid the crime of Princess Jing, and sent troops to raid Yang Guofu on the same day, whether it was a woman or a man, they were beheaded in public.

In addition to Yang Guogong's beheading, Emperor Zhou even withdrew King Jing's military talisman to control the Yanyang Army.

King Jing was implicated and hit so hard that his vitality was greatly damaged. Yang Guogong's matter, there is no need to guess, it is King Ning who is a hindrance. It's just that he didn't expect that even the left servant of Shangshu Province, who had always remained neutral, would stand on King Ning's side.

When King Jing learned that King Ning also had the assistance of Zhu Tianjun of the Southwest, one of the Nine Heavens, he put Gongzi Yu in his heart.

Yang Guogong's matter is just the beginning and the fuse. In the past six months, the court has been full of flames, and the battle for the prince has officially begun.

The party is fierce. Among the courts, there are six departments of Shangshu Province, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry. Six Shangshu were dismounted one after another.

The court was turbulent, and even the six servants began to waver.

In just six months, most of the civil and military officials in the court have changed.

Emperor Zhou was furious, and his head turned white almost overnight. Even he didn't expect that there would be such a moth in the DPRK.

At the suggestion of Hao Tianjun, the officials of the three provinces, as well as the important members from the third rank to the fourth grade, were personally selected by him.

In this party battle, Gongziyu and Zhu Tianjun in the southwest fought secretly, and each had a winner or loser. It's just that Gongzi Yu is the head of the nine heavens after all, and the winner is seventy-three.

But even so, King Jing was greatly injured, and there was not much available in the court. Those newly promoted important members are all stubborn people, who only follow the orders of the king and do not involve party disputes. King Ning's situation was even worse, and it had reached the point where no one was available.

......

Snow is falling, and snow covers the city. Gongziyu is still in the study, warming himself by charcoal, looking at the book "Elegance" in his hand.

Outside the house, there was a sound of light footsteps, and a woman walked into the house with a pot of hot tea.

It is said that this is light, light because the woman's body is light, light as a feather, and this heavy is because the woman has been feeling drowsy lately.

Probably because this cold winter is annoying and makes people feel sleepy.

Gongziyu saw the woman walk in, picked up the scroll, and said softly: "This kind of thing is left to the next person, why do you need to do it yourself." ”

The woman smiled, put the teapot with hot tea on the desk, and said softly: "My husband has always had a high eye for tea, and I am afraid that it will not suit my husband's taste when he makes tea." ”

Gongziyu stood up, came behind the woman, picked her up, kneaded the nephrite body, and said softly: "Since you married me, I haven't taken you out for a good walk." In April next year, when the position of the prince is decided, I will take you out for a good walk. ”

Zhou Zhiruo smiled softly, and the whole person lay in Gongziyu's arms. This feeling, for some reason, was so beautiful to her, like lying in the middle of a cotton floor.

"It is said that these rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes of the husband, and where the husband is, the rivers and lakes will be there. For Zhiruo, where is the husband, where is the embroidery of the mountains and rivers. ”

Hearing this, Gongziyu smiled softly and said, "For me, the place where the lady is my rivers and lakes." Zhiruo, is it okay for my husband to show you the spring color in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Zhou Zhiruo sneered and said, "This is a cold winter, where does spring come from." ”

Gongziyu leaned down and kissed Zhou Zhiruo's face, and began to grope softly upwards with both hands, and said softly: "Lady, this is the spring .......color in this winter."

The bonfire is lit, the sound of spring is in this study, and the woman's breath is the revival of everything that has gone from winter to spring.

Someone depicts the apricot blossoms in the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, and then the rain falls and falls hazy, and then treads the water in the yellow warbler Xiao Xiao, and a picture of spring suddenly rises in this winter snow.

When Gongzi Yu and Zhou Zhiruo depicted this spring picture, in King Ning's mansion, King Ning was already in a hurry.

His power in the court has been uprooted, and there is no one to use.

"Sir, what's next! In the court, the king's people have been completely pulled out by King Jing, and this prince has lost the battle for the prince!"

"Lord Wang, the battle for the prince is not over yet. You must know that Shangshu's left servant is still the prince's person. Don't hide it from the prince, the commander of the forbidden army has long been my person, and with these two people correspondingly, it may not be impossible to return to the same game. The secret battle between me and the Northern Xuantian Monarch was originally to lose 1,000 to myself and 800 to the enemy. Although the people in the court have all been uprooted. But King Jing also has few people available. ”

King Ning shook his head and said, "Commander Huang, although he is from the first grade, he is not a person in the court, how can he help me?"

Zhu Tianjun smiled and said, "Thirty days later, it will be the day of Emperor Zhou's ancestors. After the Zhou State conquered the Five Kingdoms, it moved to Hangcheng in the south of the Yangtze River as the capital. The tomb of the ancestors is still in the old city, and every three years, Emperor Zhou will set up an army to enter the old capital to worship his ancestors. And this year is the year of ancestor worship. Lord, if you dare to be guts, not to mention the position of the prince, this throne is all in your pocket. ”

When King Ning heard this, his body shook and his eyes were full of horror. Trembling voice: "Sir... Do you want this king to send troops to rebel?"

Zhu Tianjun shook his head and said: "His Majesty Emperor Zhou is now old, and the withdrawal of loyal ministers is really not the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty. Today's Zhou Dynasty needs a Ming Jun, and this Ming Jun is none other than the prince!"

Although King Ning's heart was shocked, he also had this desire in his heart. He was silent for a long time, and then said: "Father, the emperor worships his ancestors in the old capital this time, and he is escorted by 100,000 elite soldiers. How many soldiers and horses does this king have to match these 100,000 elite soldiers?"

Zhu Tianjun smiled and said, "The old capital passed through Dongdu County, and the county guard had 50,000 soldiers and horses. After Emperor Zhou left the city, Huang Datong would immediately blockade Kyoto and control the situation in Beijing. And the prince can send troops to save the lord in the name of the Qing monarch, and the war is raging, and there will be countless deaths and injuries, and no one will know whose hands Emperor Zhou died in. ”

"Qingjun's side?" King Ning was stunned, a little puzzled.

Zhu Tianjun smiled and said, "Does the prince know who Li Yu is?"

King Ning stretched out his hand and flicked it on the table, and said, "Li Yu's identity has already been guessed by this king, it is the first prince of the Heavenly Machine List, and the first Xuantian Monarch of the Nine Heavens." ”

Zhu Tianjun nodded and said, "Yes, Li Yu is the top of the Nine Heavens List." The nine of us are not divided into upper and lower, and no one obeys anyone, but Gongziyu occupies the top of the Nine Heavens list, and Tianji Pavilion is even more open, and he alone will be able to reach us and other eight Heavenly Monarchs. I'm waiting for the eight Heavenly Monarchs, and I've long wanted to play a game with him. This game is in which you and King Jing seize the position of prince. ”

"Hehe, Xuantian Jun, the top of the Nine Heavens List, is just a descendant of the dead Chu. Now that he has become the king of Jing, he must have a plan. What he wants is nothing more than to make the Zhou Dynasty turbulent, so that the five kingdoms will die and revive the army!"

"Sir, you say that this Xuantian Monarch is a person who has died in Chu?" Hearing this, King Ning's face changed again.

"Gongzi Yu is a mystery in the first place, he suddenly appeared and disappeared in an instant. In the past fifteen years, nothing more than that name has been left in the rivers and lakes. Perhaps in this world, it is extremely difficult to find out this person, but for me to wait for nine days, it is not difficult to find out. The Northern Xuantian Monarch is the person who died in Chu, and his true identity is the prince of Chu! ”

"Xuantian Jun assists King Jing, aiming for the death of Zhou! His Royal Highness King Ning, if you don't send troops, the future world will definitely not be your world, let alone Zhou's world, but the resurgence of the chaotic country!"

King Ning's face was extremely ugly, and he was silent for a while, and said: "This king has already intended to send troops to the side of the Qing monarch, but the 50,000 soldiers and horses of Dongdu County are far from enough!"

"His Royal Highness King Ning carries the righteousness, this time His Majesty enters the old capital, you need to pass through the Eastern Capital County, and connect with Baima, Zhumen, and the county. Four counties in Jingdong. Nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses can be used for it, and besides, I am ready to use the rivers and lakes. ”

King Ning frowned and said, "Sir, this is not appropriate. This river and lake is Gongzi Yu's rivers and lakes, if he uses the power of the rivers and lakes, he will never be his opponent. ”

Zhu Tianjun smiled and said sarcastically: "The rivers and lakes that a person has carried for fifteen years? The rivers and lakes in the north are indeed the rivers and lakes of Xuantianjun, but in the south! ”

Zhu Tianjun laughed again and said, "The power of the Nine Heavens holds the lifeblood of the world, and each lives in the nine directions. This southern place is the rivers and lakes of the Southern Yantianjun. Four families, five swords and six factions. There is the Liu family as the leader, and the Confucian saint is respected. Hundreds of first-line masters, plus Taoist saints and Confucian saints, even if Xuantian Jun is respected as a god, he will definitely die. ”

A month later, the winter snow fell more urgently, and the snow even turned into silver in six counties and a vast expanse.

As early as the day after King Ning's deliberate rebellion, Emperor Zhou personally entered the old capital. On the 28th, they finally arrived at the old capital.

Although there were no civilians living in the old capital, there were 30,000 elite troops stationed there. The residences of those princes and nobles are all in the former harem and courtyards, and they have long been taken care of.

Gongzi Yu, as a concubine of the dynasty, naturally wanted to come to worship his ancestors with Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo took Gongziyu's hand and walked into the former harem residence, this courtyard is very large, but it has been uncared for for many years, and it has been depressed. Here, the grass marks have long been hidden under the snow, and only a few sparse trees remain in the courtyard.

Gongziyu looked at Zhou Zhi's faintly exposed corner of skin, and said with a smile: "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold." ”

Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and said, "This used to be the courtyard of the concubine, and I still remember that when I was a child, I often stole fruits from that tree with my imperial brother to eat. ”

"Mother?" Gongzi Yu muttered, looking at the tree with only a few sparse yellow leaves. In a trance, he saw a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a phoenix on her head.

"Husband, my mother has never been treated by her father, and she rarely comes here. When I was a child, Zhiruo often wondered if her future husband would be as cold and ruthless as her father, or if she would be as good to me as possible. ”

"Is that husband the same as your father?"

Zhou Zhiruo shook her head, leaned on Gongziyu's shoulder, and said with a sweet smile: "Naturally, treat me well." ”

In recent days, Zhou Zhiruo's drowsiness has become even heavier, perhaps because of the long distance, and when she arrived at this hospital, she went to bed early.

Gongziyu stood outside the door, looked at this bleak scene, shook it and smiled: "Gongziyu, Gongziyu...... Gongziyu does treat your dearest relatives, but Chu Cheng wants to treat you, the world and death. ”

.......

By the time Emperor Zhou entered the old capital, Huang Da had closed Kyoto. King Ning marched eastward with the forbidden army order and 50,000 forbidden troops, entering Baima, Zhumen, and counties. Jing Dong gathered his troops and horses.

"Emperor Mingyue wants to support King Jing to enter the East Palace and seize his throne, colluding with Li Yu, the son of the deceased Chu Emperor, and deliberately plotting to kill His Majesty for a long time! The ambition of the traitorous wolf son! The Zhou family is in turmoil! Now that his father is in danger, this king will lead a large army to attack the old capital, save his father and the fire and water, and help the mountains and rivers!" King Ning held the forbidden military order, wore battle armor, and shouted loudly in front of the soldiers and horses of various counties.

"We are willing to go to the old capital with King Ning!

The sound surged, the 350,000 army pressed the old capital, at the same time, the rivers and lakes began to surge, the southern Liu family, a hundred first-line masters of the first product dispatched, all parties of the sect valve sect people gathered, their direction, is also the old capital.

.......

Two days later, the army came to the city. At a glance, it was as black as a cloud.

The sudden outbreak of war frightened the princes and nobles in the city. Even King Jing didn't expect King Ning to send troops to rebel!

Gongziyu only replied with one sentence, and waited for the rivers and lakes to intervene.

Everyone gathered in the old capital court. When Emperor Zhou learned that King Ning had sent troops to the old capital, he was already furious.

"Father! King Ning shouted in front of the city, who is the courtiers colluding with Li Yuma to kill his father in the old capital, and take ... Take this throne.... It is even said that Li Juma is the prince of the dead Chu. ”

As soon as these words came out, an old man was instantly furious, pointed at King Jing and shouted angrily: "My Li family has been the emperor for three generations, and I have always been heartfelt to the royal family, you mean that my Li family is all people who have died in Chu!"

This person is the crown prince and master, at this moment, his face is flushed with anger, and he almost faints with anger.

"Shut it all up for me!" Emperor Zhou shouted angrily, and the majestic aura came out instantly, and with this angry rebuke, the room was silent, making the shouting and killing sound from outside the city even more harsh.

At this moment, a sound of breaking the sky sounded from outside the hall, and it trembled urgently.

An arrow struck, broke open the palace door in an instant, and pierced the head of Emperor Zhou in an instant.

"Your Majesty!"

The death of Emperor Zhou caused chaos in the hall in an instant, and there were cries and shouts everywhere.

Random arrows hit one after another, and blood flowers bloomed in the hall, where can these princes and nobles, concubines and princes know martial arts, even if they can, it is just a kung fu that does not enter the stream, where can they avoid the killing of this rain of arrows.

When Zhou Zhiruo saw this scene, her face turned pale and she was already crying. But no matter how fierce the arrow rain is, with Gongzi Yu blocking in front of him, he can't get close to three meters away.

King Jing was fighting to the death to resist the arrow, and when he saw Gongziyu, he remembered that Gongziyu was the strongest person in the world, and immediately came behind him.

The prince and the prince were even more surprised in this rain of arrows. No matter how many arrows and thousands of arrows come in, they can't get close to him.

But there was chaos in the temple, and no one noticed this.

The city wall of the old capital was slashed by a golden-robed young man with a sword, and the army was instantly pressed into the city and fought against 130,000 elite soldiers of the royal family.

The 130,000 elite soldiers collapsed in an instant under the impact of an army of 350,000, a hundred first-class masters, and nearly 10,000 masters of the rivers and lakes. In one time, 130,000 elite soldiers were killed and wounded, and 30,000 were wounded.

The rain of arrows stopped, and under this rain of arrows, hundreds of people. More than fifty people died. These more than 50 people are all princes and nobles, with prominent status, and even ministers of the court, and even the queen died in this rain of arrows.

Listening to those shouts, King Jing in the palace was very anxious, looked at Gongziyu and asked, "The army has been suppressed, sir, what should we do?"

Gongziyu raised his head, grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's hand tightly, and his eyes fell on the outside of the hall. muttered: "Here, it's already my rivers and lakes." ”

The thirty-five armies had already pressed into the city, and King Ning looked at the battle in the city and was ecstatic in his heart.

The throne is already within reach! After today, this world will be the world of King Thaning.

Suddenly, a wind rose. King Ning saw a piece of starlight at this moment, and then heard the splattering of blood. The next moment, he saw the head of a horse, and then the forelimbs of the horse. The next moment, he couldn't see anything.

King Ning's head rolled to the ground, and Zhu Tianjun's face by his side suddenly changed.

The ground began to tremble, thousands of horses galloped in the distance, and countless silver needles overwhelmingly came from the rear, and there were rockets to follow.

Those Liu family's hundreds of first-class powerhouses and Jianghu masters saw this scene, and their faces changed instantly.

"It's the Tang Sect, Wan Xuanzong!

Of the four families and six factions, three appeared at the same time on this day.

"The rivers and lakes have entered, and I should also go. Zhu Tianjun glanced at the head on the ground, shook his head and sighed.

"Win and lose. is worthy of Xuantian Jun. ”

The next moment, two figures silently appeared behind Zhu Tianjun, picked him up, and left towards the battlefield.

Ten miles away, a tall figure blocked their way.

In addition to three of the four families and six factions, one god, two saints and three demons, four also appeared at the same time.

In front of them was the Blood Demon, one of the Three Demons and Five Swords.
