479, troubled times
Tang, the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the ninth day of the first month of November.
The Three Towns Festival made An Lushan, with the "danger of worrying about the country", in the name of the secret edict Jing Qingjun, and the crusade against the prime minister Yang Guozhong in Fanyang, pointing directly at Chang'an. Wherever they passed, no one could stop them. And on December 12 of the same year, he invaded Luoyang, and Li Xin, the eastern capital, and Lu Yi, the middle of the imperial history, refused to surrender and were captured and killed.
On the first day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan and Luoyang were called the Great Yan Emperors and changed to Yuan Shengwu.
In June, Chang'an fell, and Xuanzong fled. When passing through Ma Weipo, the army lace, killed the prime minister Yang Guozhong and his family, and then forced Xuanzong to execute his favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan.
In July, the crown prince Li Heng announced himself as the emperor in Lingwu, which was for Tang Suzong, changed the Yuan to virtue, and respected Xuanzong as the emperor. and ordered Guo Ziyi, the secretary of the military department, and Li Guangbi, the secretary of the household department, to be edicted to beg the thief.
At this point, the world is in chaos.
Tang, the first year of Zhide, July.
In the City of Blood.
Since retiring that year, although all the blood seas belong to have been closed, the city has been closed. But it does not mean that they are ignorant of the outside world, on the contrary, they have been paying attention to the details of the battle between Tang and Yan for a long time, and they are even more aware of the battle situation of each party.
Somewhere in a small garden building, the sage Wang Yueyao of the Heavenly Star sat in front of her, a game of chess in front of her, and she was fighting with her father's room.
"Alas......"
In the way of chess, Wang Jianzhou has long been unable to catch up with his daughter. At this time, under the passive defense, he had inadvertently spit out a long sigh. Wang Yueyao saw it in her eyes, and hurriedly explained: "Father, since you have resigned, it will be difficult for you to touch half a point in the chaos of the outside world, why bother thinking about it again?"
His daughter has become a world-renowned sage, and Wang Jianzhou is proud. In the past, although I occasionally worried about her on weekdays, for fear that she would be caught in some whirlpool, I knew that under the protection of the Wind and Rain King, my beloved daughter would not be in any danger. But later, Luo Chongshan's conspiracy was revealed, and soon after the retreat of the Blood Sea, he would inevitably bring constraints to his daughter who had been exposed. Although many people who were looking forward to befriending the Heavenly Star Sage sighed that it was a pity, it also allowed him to escape the catastrophe and never fall into the hands of the Yan army's rebels.
However, Wang Jianzhou has been an official for many years after all, and neither the war nor the sinking of the society is what he, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, is happy to see. After Fang Cai's sigh attracted Wang Yueyao's consolation, he no longer pretended to be nothing, but as if he had found a catharsis, he said sadly: "Having said that, but the outside world is now disorderly, and traitors are rampant, how can I, as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, be at ease?"
"An Lushan has been plotting for a long time, and in the early years, he accumulated a lot of manpower and financial resources through Qixia Fort, and once he got into trouble, he was naturally invincible. On that day, her daughter stopped Lu Guogong from capturing Luo Chongshan's soul, because she was afraid that he would confess in front of hundreds of officials that the person who was behind the scenes was the envoy of the Three Towns Festival, and she scared the snake. "The chess game is chaotic, and Wang Yueyao is not reluctant to continue," It's a pity that although the blood sea secretly informed the prime minister of the information, it still couldn't change the fate of this world. ”
"The retreat of the sea of blood would be nothing if it was a peaceful and prosperous world, but now that the war is raging, it is not a long-term solution to continue in such a peaceful corner. ”
"Father just rest assured that the sea of blood is just a retreat, not an escape. The Lord of the Sea has been planning these days. Wang Yueyao chuckled, "After all, it won't be long before the chaotic party is estimated to plot against the sea of blood." ”
"How do you know for sure?"
Wang Yueyao still kept chuckling, but she just pinched a virtual trick and showed it in front of her father, which was regarded as an answer.
When the sage of Tianxing knows the sky, he understands the location, and he can spy on the future. When Wang Jianzhou saw it, he already knew it in his heart. After hastily cleaning up his mood, he no longer continued to be entangled, but was reasonable on the chessboard, ready to start another game, and seize the time to enjoy the father-daughter family that would come to an abrupt end at any time.
At this time, a pretty figure walked in from outside the small building, respectfully said a blessing to Wang Jianzhou, and then gave Wang Yueyao a student salute: "I've seen the teacher." ”
"Sister Yanyu, but the Lord of the Sea is looking for me?" Wang Yueyao put down the chess pieces in her hand and raised her head and asked.
"Exactly. The children of the Rainstorm Hall reported that An Lushan now ordered that the various departments under the name clean up the forces of the rivers and lakes that were still attached to the Tang Dynasty, and the sea lord asked the teacher to go and discuss the countermeasures. Yanyu replied respectfully.
Wang Yueyao had expected this, and got up and saluted Wang Jianzhou: "My daughter will go to the meeting first, and then come back to play against her father later." ”
"Go, it's important to be a father. Wang Jianzhou nodded, and did not say too much.
After saluting his father again, Wang Yueyao stopped staying, turned around and went to the place where the sea of blood was discussed with Yanyu, and Wang Jianzhou was left alone in the small building, and he was alone in the endgame.
The Blood Sea Hall, the Council Chamber.
Since the fall of Qixia Fort and the retreat of the Sea of Blood in accordance with the will of the Wind and Cloud King, it was the first time that the council hall was so lively. Below Cheng Youlu, the sea lord, the elders and stewards had already come here, or their faces were gloomy, or they were thoughtful, as for the things that bothered them, they were now on the two letters that had been opened in Cheng Youlu's hands, only waiting for the last two participants to arrive and discuss countermeasures.
Before long, Wang Yueyao had already entered the conference hall with smoke and rain.
"I've seen the sea lord. ”
A greeting attracted everyone present to get up together and respond. Cheng Youlu, as the Lord of the Sea of Blood, was also respectful in front of the Heavenly Star Sage at this moment: "Elder Yueyao doesn't need to be polite, please sit down first and wait for the cold to come." ”
"The subordinates obeyed. ”
In response to the process, Wang Yueyao turned around and nodded to Yanyu, signaling her to wait outside the hall first, and then took a step and walked in the direction of her seat. And after she took her seat, the rest of the hall sat down again as if they had breathed a sigh of relief.
In such a scene, no matter how calm Wang Yueyao's heart was, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After revealing Luo Chongshan's conspiracy that day, it didn't take long for Wang Yueyao to join the sea of blood with her father. However, although she is not very old, she is admired by everyone in the sea of blood because of her identity as a sage of the Heavenly Star. In addition, the "Fengyun King" is a brother and sister with her, so even the three elders Li Changhe, Qin Poyan, and Huang Kaiming treat her as a junior. The blood sea belonged to naturally more awe when facing Wang Yueyao, but whenever there was any major matter, Cheng Youlu always came to the door to ask for advice. Over time, Wang Yueyao finally inherited the title of "elder" in everyone's nominations and requests, and her status in the sea of blood has been improved day by day, which is what she is today.
Receiving the attention of many fiery eyes, although Wang Yueyao did not show any expression on her face, she sighed helplessly in her heart: "No wonder Brother Tang and the teacher chose to hide from the world back then, the eyes of this mortal person are indeed terrifying, even if I fight with the Heng clan for three days and three nights, I will not have such a feeling of being on my back." ”
