Chapter 1: The Imperial City Shocks 1
In 420 A.D., Liu Yu usurped the Eastern Jin Dynasty to establish the Southern Song Dynasty, and in 589 A.D., the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Southern Dynasty Chenzhi, which was the Northern and Southern Dynasties; the Southern Dynasties had the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties, and the Northern Dynasties had the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi, and Northern Five Dynasties.

At that time, there were frequent changes of dynasties, confrontation between the north and the south, and the world was in turmoil. The people were displaced. The "countries" fought against each other every year, and for a time the land of China became a scorched earth.
And the martial arts at that time were also full of disputes. The Shaolin, Kunlun faction, and Xuanqi sect are mainly intrigued with each other, and they all want to replace each other as the overlord of martial arts, and other small sects in the rivers and lakes are surviving in their cracks....
Liang Dynasty -
In September, the morning sun shines brightly, giving off a soft glow. The sun did not rise very high, as if it was hanging on the roof of the palace.
Through a screen made of silk silk, it shines on the volts in the pavilion. There is an incense burner burning sandalwood on top of the voicle, and the fragrance and elegant fragrance permeate the entire pavilion, and a little boy sits in the pavilion.
He is about five or six years old, very delicate, with big black and smart eyes, as clear as a clear spring.
His hair was tied in a bun and strung with a small green hairpin, and many small braids were tied at the back. Dressed in brocade clothes and jade clothes, holding a copy of "The Art of War", he was reading carefully.
His smart eyes looked around from time to time. It's like a thief, and it looks funny.
After a while, he saw a beautiful young woman coming from a distance, so he hurriedly put down "The Art of War" and picked up the "Analects" next to it and read it aloud: "Zi said, don't you say that you can learn and learn from time to time?....?
"Hmph, hmph" I saw that the young woman coughed twice deliberately. As soon as the young man saw the beautiful young woman coming, he immediately put down his book and ran to the young woman's side to help her sit down, and the beautiful young woman said, "My son is really working hard-!." The last note was the old man, and the young man's face was red with shame: "Mother, you are smiling, I can't hide anything from you." ”
Take a closer look at the young woman, dressed in a pink dress, long and swaying to the ground, with a pair of phoenix eyes that are natural and charming, but awe-inspiring. Qiong's nose is very beautiful, the cherry mouth is small, and the thin waist is restrained by the cloud belt, which is even more inadequate, and the whole person looks like one word "beautiful".
It turned out that the child was Xiao Yichen, the son of Emperor Xiao Yuanming of the Southern Liang Dynasty, and the young woman was his mother, Murong Yan, who was now canonized as the empress.
Xiao Yichen said at this time: "Mother, you are so beautiful."
Murong Yan poked his head with her finger and scolded, "You stinky boy, do you know what it means to be beautiful?"
"Know, know, Queen Mother, you are the most beautiful person in the world. ”
Murong Yan didn't say anything, but she was happy in her heart, and two delicate touches appeared on her face, adding a sense of style.
"Haha, mother, you smiled, you finally smiled, in fact, you are the best when you laugh."
Murong Yanmei blinked twice and said, "Okay, you stinky little devil has honey on your mouth, my mother will spare you this time." Xiao Yichen stuck out his tongue naughtily after hearing this.
At this time, Murong Yan suddenly sighed and said, "Alas, if my mother can see you grow up safely in the future, she will be satisfied with starting a family." ”
"Mother, what are you talking about, in the future, you will not only see me get married, but also see your grandson marry a daughter-in-law!"
Murong Yan's face darkened and said, "I hope!"
"Mother, is my father not good to you. ”
"It's not"
But as she spoke, Murong Yan twisted her head to the side and sobbed.
"Mother, you still say that it's not your father who treats you badly, I'll go to him for a theory!".
"The emperor doesn't want it. Murong Yan hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yichen, and after a while of comfort, she pressed Xiao Yichen on the stool and sat down.
"Mother, you said that you are not the father, then you can tell me why!"
Murong Yan's face was embarrassed: "This!", but after a while, she gritted her teeth, looked around and said to Xiao Yichen: "Actually, your father is a puppet emperor who was supported by Northern Qi, and he wants to bow down to Northern Qi." In China, the voices of the courtiers who are dissatisfied with your father are rising, and now only the king monk is willing to support your father.
And like Chen Baxian, the general with an army of more than 100,000 and some ministers in the court wanted to establish Xiao Fangzhi as the emperor. It can really be said that there are far external troubles and internal worries, and maybe we may be in a different place at any time. When will this kind of scared and frightened day come to an end!" she hugged Xiao Yichen and cried bitterly.
Xiao Yichen was still thinking about how to comfort the queen mother, but after listening to it, he didn't know what to do, and he was affected by the cry of the queen mother, and he couldn't help crying, and the mother and son hugged their heads and cried for a while....
At that time, the sky was slightly dark, but the inside and outside of the "Fengyi Palace" were already brightly lit, and there were two long rows of palace maids and eunuchs standing outside the hall, but they did not make a sound, only a few crickets were calling in the flowers. The atmosphere was unusually dreary.
I saw that the Fengyi hall in the Yunding Nanmu beam, four layers of bronze ancient lamps suspended in the middle, the hall is illuminated as if day, the floor is paved with white marble, covered with a thick Persian wool blanket, the mahogany dining table of two zhang square is full of all kinds of delicacies at this time, the color and fragrance are complete.
But Xiao Yichen's mother and son hugged each other and didn't move their chopsticks, but seeing that the tears on the faces of the mother and son had not dried, people couldn't help but sigh!
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard a eunuch who had pinched the throat of a male duck and announced: "The emperor has arrived in ....."
At this time, I saw a middle-aged man wearing an apricot red crown dress, embroidered with dragon patterns on the front chest and back, wearing a crown on his head, and his collar and cuffs were trimmed with gold wire, pushing open the door of the temple and walking in.
When Murong Yan and Xiao Yichen saw Xiao Yuanming coming in, they hurriedly stood up and walked to Xiao Yuanming to salute. "The concubines and the emperor ask their fathers and emperors to say goodbye, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live!" (Murong Yan bent her knees and lowered her body to make a thousand blessings, while Xiao Yichen knelt on the ground and saluted.) )
"Ai Concubine, the emperor doesn't need to be polite quickly." After Xiao Yuanming finished speaking, he hurriedly helped Murong Yan and Xiao Yichen up. After the three of them sat down, Xiao Yuanming looked at the untouched dishes on the table and said, "Aifei Huang'er, is the dish not to your liking, or I will let the "Imperial Dining Room" make another table." ”
Xiao Yichen and Murong Yan both shook their heads.
"Hey, the emperor's concubine, you have cried, what is the matter, tell me quickly. Xiao Yuanming's tone of voice couldn't help but increase a little, and the palace maids and eunuchs next to him were frightened.
Murong Yan glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs next to her, and Xiao Yuanming said with deep understanding: "You all go down, and no one is allowed to approach without my orders from thirty zhang away." "Yes" The palace maids and eunuchs all bent down and withdrew from the "Fengyi Palace" and closed the door.
Xiao Yuanming looked at her and said, "Concubine Ai can talk about it now!" So Murong Yan said what she said to Xiao Yichen in the afternoon to Xiao Yuanming again.
After listening to Murong Yan's story, Xiao Yuanming couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, Concubine Ai, I'm sorry for making you suffer with me all these years." ”
Murong Yan held back her tears and grabbed Xiao Yuanming's hand and said, "No, in the past few years with you, you have been very fond of me, and you don't care about the three thousand beauties in the harem." I'm so grateful that you've been so kind to me, and I'll cherish this relationship, even if it's for me to die with you. ”
"Concubine"
"The Emperor"
The two stared at each other for a long time, their hands clasped tightly. At this time, silence is better than sound, and all the thousand words are conveyed to the other person's heart through the eyes.
A quarter of an hour later, Murong Yan lowered her head shyly and said, "You still watch, you haven't seen enough!"
Xiao Yuanming said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yes! Even if I watch it for a lifetime, I can't get tired of watching it!"
Murong Yan gently slapped Xiao Yuanming's body: "You, you're not serious, the emperor is still here!" After she finished speaking, two blushes rose on her face, as if she was even more gorgeous than the morning glow.
Xiao Yuanming couldn't take his eyes off when he saw this, and suddenly asked Xiao Yichen beside him: "Emperor, you said that your queen mother, is she beautiful?"
"Pretty, of course pretty, the Queen Mother is the most beautiful woman in the whole world, and I don't see anything, you go on. Xiao Yichen twisted his little face to the side after speaking, but his dark and smart eyes glanced here from time to time.
"Haha!" Xiao Yuanming laughed heartily. Murong Yan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed, a pair of Danfeng eyes had already bent into a crescent moon, and after a while, Murong Yan rubbed her stomach and said, "You two living treasures, I can't stand it, my intestines are almost knotted with laughter." ”
Xiao Yichen pointed at the sky with his left hand and pointed at the sky like a sword: "Queen Mother, the conscience of heaven and earth, I am true to every word!"
Murong Yan stretched out her right index finger, which was like a peeling onion root, and pointed at Xiao Yichen "You", wanting to laugh but trying her best to hold back. After a while, Xiao Yuanming's smile retracted, and he said with a serious face: "Aifei, I have a very important matter to discuss with you. ”
"Oh, you say it!" Murong Yan also restrained her smile and said.
Xiao Yichen also hurriedly pricked up his ears when he heard this.
Xiao Yuanming said: "That's about the fate of the emperor...."
"Ahh
Xiao Yuanming continued: "I plan to send someone to escort the emperor from the palace. ”
"Ah, why?" asked Murong Yan suspiciously.
"Because, I feel that Chen Baxian can't wait anymore, and he is about to make a move on me, if the emperor continues to stay in the palace, I am afraid that he will be implicated at that time. ”
Xiao Yichen's eyes widened when he heard this, his hands tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, walked to Xiao Yuanming and knelt down and said, "Father, the son doesn't want to leave the palace, let alone the father and the queen mother. After speaking, his eyes were hazy with tears.
Murong Yan was distressed when she saw it, squatted down and hugged Xiao Yichen and gently patted his thin back.
Murong Yan asked: "Your Majesty, the concubines have the courage to ask, what are the chances of escaping from the palace, you must know that now the palace is Chen Baxian's eyes and ears. ”
Xiao Yuanming said: "This, it is estimated that it is only one percent, it can be said that nine deaths and one life, extremely dangerous!"
Murong Yan said in a hurried tone: "Then the emperor, you are still..."
"I know, but staying in the palace is death, and there is hope if you escape. Even if we take 10,000 steps back, Chen Ba will not kill us first, but he will imprison us in the palace all day long, what is the difference between us and those raised livestock! It is better to gamble than to die!"
"Alas, then the emperor, when are you going to send the emperor out of the palace?"
"Just tonight. ”
"Ahh ”
"It's going to change later!"
"Alas, well, everything is arranged by the emperor.
