It has only been three days since the wedding of King Langya, and the news is still boiling like boiling oil in a pot, and another news is tearing the earth like thunder.

Emperor Yuanzong of the Liao State built a Zen platform, saying that he was old and immature, and the emperor under his knees was cowardly and incompetent, and the generalissimo Yun Yifan Wen Taowu was alone in the world.

However, after the death of hundreds of officials, Li Min was stunned, and Yun Yifan took the jade seal, promising to pass on the virtuous people of the Yelu clan in a hundred years, and then return to the unification.

Although there were also many "loyal ministers and righteous men" in the Liao State, they all changed their tunes for various reasons within two days, and the other stubborn ones either found excuses to be transferred abroad, or they trembled and handed over the old man to return to his hometown.

As soon as this news came out, the world was in an uproar for a while, as if the whole land had suffered an earthquake, if there are still a few people in this world who can look at this matter indifferently, then there should be one in Chang'an City, and there should be two in Jinling City.

The Great Liao Yelu clan ruled the north for more than 200 years, and established the country with nomadism, and the men in the country have always been able to fight well, although the people are not rich in food and clothing, but they can also maintain their warmth.

This emperor Yuanzong, although he can't be said to be virtuous, but he is not very evil, and the people in the country are also quite supportive, but he never thought that the country would change hands overnight.

Yun Yifan ascended the throne, changed the Mandate of Heaven, called himself the Emperor of Heaven, granted amnesty to the world, opened a large warehouse, and helped the people, and for a time the whole country was grateful to Dade. Emperor Fengyuanzong Jingbian Wang, the territory of Beihai, with the harem and heirs, is not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict.

In the very center of Shangjing, a palace rises almost overnight, the scale is grand, more than 20 zhang higher than the general roof ridge, and it almost reaches the clouds from a distance, overlooking the whole Shangjing and even the whole world with the capital of standing out from the crowd.

Yun Yifan personally named this temple - Emperor Shadow Palace.

The decoration of the Emperor Shadow Palace is not very luxurious, not even one-tenth of the bedroom of Emperor Yuanzong in the past, but the new emperor of Liao likes to stay here, review and fold here during the day, and sleep here at night.

There were no guards, let alone concubines who served in bed, only a few palace maids and a eunuch who passed the word.

He doesn't look like an emperor, but like a prisoner, but it's not a shell that is imprisoned, and the palace maids who come to the Emperor Shadow Palace to deliver food and serve the new emperor often see this black-clothed young man, often standing at the highest point of the Emperor Shadow Palace in a daze into the distance, and standing for several hours.

He was dressed in a black brocade robe, without embroidered ornaments, just a simple black robe, but he was more noble than any generation of emperors. The dark jade-like eyes are deep and distant, as if you can see through the eternal void at a glance, and although there is no trace of expression on the handsome face, it is something that people never get tired of looking at.

The stars loomed in the sky, the horizon still shimmered with the unfinished glow of the sunset, and the afterglow dyed half of the sky a deep red.

Yun Yifan had been staring at it for a long time, the wind lifted the corners of his thin clothes, the noble and incomparable aura had been gone, and there was only a trace of imperceptible loneliness left.

There was a slight sound of footsteps from far and near, not in a hurry or slow, Yun Yifan couldn't help frowning, this Emperor Shadow Palace has always not allowed outsiders to come in casually, who is so unruly?

Just thinking about it, the light purple beautiful figure moved a few steps forward, and Yun Yifan snorted coldly: "What a boldness, don't you know the rules of the Emperor Shadow Palace?"

"Hehe, after ascending to the supreme position, my temper is really a lot bigger!"

The crisp sound like a silver bell flowed into Yun Yifan's ears, making him slightly stunned.

"Mu Yuhan!"

For the arrival of this woman, Yun Yifan also felt a little surprised. Since this woman met Xia Xuehan, the trajectory of her life has also changed, from the drastic changes in Hanshan Temple to the destruction of the whole door, and finally even her father and brother are missing, most of them are also more than lucky.

All of this is inextricably linked to the man named Xia Xuehan, the fate of the two people was originally parallel, but they were entangled together because of that trip to Jiangnan.

What changed her life was long since she couldn't tell whether it was him or herself.

"Emperor Shadow Palace, built so high, can you see the people of the southern country?" Mu Yuhan said quietly, but there was a trace of bitterness in his heart, why didn't he say it to himself!

Yun Yifan's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, the black robe danced without wind, and the aura on his body was a little stronger, and said: "The path between me and that person is different after all, the way of chivalry and kingship, you can only choose one, since you have made a decision in the dark, some things are destined to be lost." ”

Chivalry is free, and the royal road is lonely. The chivalrous road does not know the way to go, does not know where to return, but the royal road can reach the peak of power and glory, and most of the beings who float and sink in the red dust are lost in these two roads, sinking deeper and deeper, and never breaking free until death.

Mu Yuhan chuckled: "It is said that if you like someone, you will be humbled to the dust, and then blossom." Hehe, I didn't expect the graceful and noble Yifan Gongzi to be so humble in front of a woman, it's really ridiculous, ridiculous......"

Before she could finish speaking, a white jade palm had already cut through the wind and grabbed her neck, lifting her up. In just a few breaths, Mu Yuhan's pretty face was already flushed, his hands and feet struggled, and a bellows-like sound came out of his throat.

Yun Yifan saw her stubborn eyes, frowned, the strength in his hand decreased, put her on the ground, and said coldly: "Don't think that I don't dare to kill you, please respect yourself when you speak in the future!"

Mu Yuhan rubbed his blue neck, and looked at the unpredictable man in front of him in surprise, very similar to that person, but he couldn't tell where it was similar, it was very different, and it was also incomprehensible.

Hundreds of years later, neither the official history nor the wild history can find the slightest bit of the glamorous history of the Liao Kingdom, the world-famous emperor, he is like a Buddha who has cut off the six desires. He has a great demeanor, he did not accept a concubine during his reign, and the Emperor Shadow Palace is like a tomb, burying his loneliness and his life.

According to historical records, this emperor who reigned over the world did not have a luxurious palace, did not have a group of maids, and had a lifetime of horses, crisscrossing thousands of miles, but he never married, and always looked at the south in the dead of night.

His generals all said that he wanted the world, and he wanted the beautiful mountains and rivers and fertile land in the south. But few people know that the most tender place in his heart has always been reserved for one person, that person is in Nanshannan, but he is in the far north of the North Sea.

He is white-clothed and graceful, but he is a lupine scarf, a lonely emperor.

Mu Yuhan's eyes were already so empty that he didn't have half of his brilliance, and the whole person seemed to be hollowed out, looking at the stars in the sky, I don't know how time passes, whether it is a night, a year, or a lifetime......

The Langya Palace, which has always been deserted, has become much more lively since there is a new princess.

This incredibly beautiful princess never had a big shelf, and she could even drink with a man who trimmed flowers and plants, and she could talk for a long time with an aunt who did the laundry.

This restless princess often gave the prince a headache, and in the words of the prince, the woman often disappeared in the blink of an eye, and went out into the wild like a child.

No, there's a dog that you can't see in a blink of an eye......

Since the marriage of the son, Zi Mo has often seen the gentle and elegant son's eyes glancing at the door from time to time when he reviews official documents, and he is no longer as calm as before, and occasionally he can hear the son scolding in a low voice, "This restless woman!"

If it is said that the princess often does not stay in Xue Ning Yazhai, then she has wronged her, it is just that someone likes to make some novel things everywhere to amuse him, and if someone can't see her for a while, it feels like a long time has passed......

She would lie on her lap while he was reading official documents, read a book of gods and demons compiled by Luo Di Xiucai, and then wouldn't let him rest when he was tired, pulling him to tell a colorful story.

No matter how late it is, she will always stay up late with him, even if she sleeps on his desk, she can't get rid of it, she has to wait for him to rest together.

She would play a game of chess with him in his free time, but because of her poor chess skills, she would often play a little tricky tricks, and she would also play martial arts with him, but she would often make a mess of the yard. His martial arts are naturally a few points higher than hers, but she is the winner every time.

She will play with him in the mountains and rivers, attracting a flock of butterflies, a hundred birds chirping, and the sound of the empty mountains for three days.

Sometimes she would make strange gadgets that made him laugh and cry, sometimes she would lie down beside him and write and draw, record his every movement, draw his every frown, she and he would lean on the roof on a clear night and look at the stars, and always he would carry her back with her sleeping like a pig.

Sometimes she would spend hours making a table of dishes to force him to finish, but her cooking skills were really a model of a good wife and mother, and even the tip of someone's tricky tongue couldn't find the slightest fault.

She can talk to him about national affairs, or she can quote scriptures and argue with him in a copy.

No matter who is justified, it always ends with the sentence "You bully me again!......

In the eyes of all the servants of the palace, the princess is beautiful and noble, can enter the kitchen, go out of the hall, not only strong in martial arts but also well-read, but also kind to people, and the prince is really a match made in heaven.

Every night after dinner, when the prince and the princess went out to walk the snowball, from the chief manager to the servants, they always greeted the princess warmly, and the princess also responded enthusiastically, which often made the prince who was left aside depressed for a long time.

Zi Mo also slowly accepted the fact that Xue Ning Yazhai had one more person, and even felt from the bottom of his heart that it was the princess who made this palace like a pool of stagnant water come alive, and made this suffocating Xue Ning Yazhai have the breath of a human being, and really made this place feel like a home.

The mistress of the palace made this place a little more angry, and everyone liked the new princess from the bottom of their hearts, except for the one with the highest rank in the palace.

Every day when it comes to the routine visit to the princess, everyone in the palace is always worried, especially the prince. He seemed to walk with bated breath, for fear that the two women would disagree and tear down the palace, but fortunately he reconciled in the middle, so that the tense relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not deteriorate.

In later generations, a philosopher said that the chivalrous and tender man in this world is the most manly man, and the woman born for love is the most feminine woman. When such a man and a woman meet together, they will put aside the disturbances of the outside world and wander in the troubled times.

On the open field, an old man in a gray robe dragged a long shadow slowly in the setting sun, and he didn't know where to go, and the face that appeared between the long loose hair was as white as paper.

Although his hair was unkempt, his clothes were ragged, and his eyes were dull, it could be seen from his eyebrows that he must have been a beautiful man in the past.

The messy pace in the eyes of ordinary people, if it is in the eyes of a martial arts master, it will inevitably make the scalp numb, because every step has a great mystery, and if you go down one step, the sun, moon and stars seem to be circulating around him. He is like a gust of wind, although it is fluttering, but there is a kind of breath that goes a thousand miles and destroys all things, one step, two steps...... It seems to be slow, but after a few steps, it actually walked out of a hundred zhang.

It was also in this field that an old man in a white robe rode slowly on the back of a green ox, which seemed out of place in this world. He has a clear face, not to mention that he has reached his old age, snow-white hair, high convex cheekbones, and a snow-white beard that reaches to his chest, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones.

There is also a bamboo pole in his hand, on which a white cloth is hung, with eight big characters written "By asking ghosts and gods, the future can be expected", it is clearly a fortune-telling old man.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the black clouds gathered in front of him, laughed twice, and said to himself: "Those little guys in Guigu have come out to make trouble again, this time it seems to be more lively than before!"

"Hey, funny, funny......" The hoarse voice dispersed with the wind on the empty field, and rode the green ox slowly into the distance.
