On the New Year's Eve of Yuanqing, the night began to fall, and the dark and gloomy clouds were heavily suppressed over Jinyangjing, the capital of the Great Long Dynasty. It seemed that it was intended to destroy this solemn and quiet city. There were no lanterns, let alone laughter and noises. The Spring Festival, which should have been celebrated by the emperors and ministers, and the people were happy together, shrouded in a nightmare. In the cold atmosphere and domineering containment, whether it is a high-door house or a shabby alley house, they are immersed in the dead silence, and even the occasional conversation of people is trembling with careful fear.

At midnight, the New Year's bell rang in front of the gate of Ping'an, and the heavy waves shook through the thick haze, and there was a lonely detour between the thirty-six archways in Jinyang Beijing.

With the arrival of a long-brewed snowstorm on the first day of the first day of the tenth anniversary of Yuanqing, it roared and covered the earth. It was not until the eve of the Lantern Festival that this huge surprise was stopped.

The wind and snow stopped, but the sky was still shrouded in haze. The gray clouds and heavy snow blended far away. The condensed atmosphere did not dissipate because of the noise of the wind and snow, which still made people tremble and difficult to breathe.

In the annual Shangyuan Festival, there is no routine celebration of fire trees and silver flowers carnival all night. Outside the Sensen Imperial City, the front of Ping'an Gate is empty, there are no lanterns, no singing and dancing, no gorgeous and huge golden dragon lanterns, no pious worship under the lights, and the subjects who make good wishes are only the golden bricks and flying eaves. The four-square bell tower with carved beams and lonely watch stands quietly in the empty square.

On the Liuguang River passing through the city, there are no bright spring lights; there is no beautiful scene of red sleeves dancing along the Zhuge painting building. The river moved slowly, the waves were dark, there was no painting of the river, there was no beautiful prostitute pipa half hug, and the cherry lips were gently opened, singing the seductive song.

This silence and solemnity is all due to the assassination of the prince in the autumn of the ninth year of Yuanqing!

Today's eldest son died in this sudden assassination. Many nobles and clans are involved. Every day, people are arrested and imprisoned by the Jingwei Iron Armor Army. Among them are many high-ranking officials and rich, and of course there are civilians in the market.

Since then, Jinyangjing has been shrouded in a tense atmosphere of wind and cranes, so that everyone is silent.

But the mastermind who assassinated the prince has not been identified for a long time, and the subjects have secretly speculated--

It's nothing more than those princes who coveted the throne!

"I'm afraid that there will be another rebellion of Emperor Taizong!" Some old people remembered the rebellion initiated by the king of Liang and the king of Gui with the British Duke at the beginning of the accession to the throne. They couldn't help but be worried. Who is not eager for prosperity and peace? Who is willing to fight again?

But those noble officials still can't protect themselves, let alone these ordinary people?

In any case, the ten-year-long Spring Festival passed quietly in this depressing silence, and the Dalong Dynasty took a solemn step forward under the leadership of the third emperors and entered the 44th year of Yu Jiangshan.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, on the left side of Suzhengfang, the first square of Kyoto on the west side of the imperial city, the two heavy gold paint gates of the King of Chu were hurriedly opened, and the hoarse opening and closing sound echoed in the green fog, which seemed to be sad.

The messy and rapid pace of more than a dozen plain servants completely broke the silence of the morning. They cried loudly and sadly, crossed the Bluestone Avenue in front of the door and went straight to the opposite Weigong Mansion.

——————————————————————————————

There are only two mansions in the long Zhengfang. The palace of the King of Chu and the Duke of Wei are the pillars of the country trusted by the three generations of emperors, and the relatives of the emperor.

Yu Anzheng, the former king of Chu, was born as the second son of Emperor Gaozu. Because Gaozu's eldest son died early, he was actually equivalent to Gaozu's eldest son. Anzheng rose up with Gaozu in Chuzhou. Between ten years of war, Gaozu made great achievements. Later, Gaozu suddenly collapsed. Because he did not establish the East Palace and had no edict, he attracted the four sons to fight with each other. Defei died young. An Zheng was raised by Empress Yan, Gaozu, and had a deep relationship with the fifth prince. Naturally, he established the throne and cleared the obstacles for Emperor Taizong's smooth accession to the throne. Later, King Liang and King Gui plotted rebellion, and An Zheng shot them with his own hands.

Su Ting, the Duke of Wei, his mother died young. His father was originally a general under Gao Zu's command. Unfortunately, he was killed in the countryside. Gao Zu felt sorry for his loneliness and weakness and stayed with him to raise and teach him in person, just like a parent and son. Su Ting has been a heroic man since he was a child. At the age of ten, he put on armor and killed the enemy and made contributions. At the age of 14, he was appointed as the commander of the vanguard cavalry. He captured Ninghai and the north. Later, Emperor Ai of Dongming was forced to abdicate. He also led 30,000 troops directly into Jinyangjing, destroyed Xiao's rebellion against the party, and determined the situation of the capital. At that time, he was only 17 years old. Before the crowned, he was The unification of the Dalong Dynasty made great contributions.

Su Ting became famous and was awarded the title of first-class father-in-law in less than 20 years. Gao Zu even ordered marriage and married the only pearl on his palm, Princess Shangyuan from Empress Yan as his wife.

Speaking of this Shangyuan princess, it is another legend.

Gaozu Yu Xingbang was originally a general who guarded Chu land in the Eastern Ming Dynasty. He was born in a famous family in the Eastern Ming Dynasty and was deeply trusted by the emperor. Later, Emperor Jin collapsed and mourned for the emperor to succeed to the throne, but he was the most cruel and unkind monarch among the 14 emperors in the 300-year history of the Eastern Ming Dynasty. With only a moment of joy and anger, he repeatedly killed him. As soon as he ascended the throne, he gave his wife After the death and extermination of the clan, Xiao, a humble maidservant, was established as the queen, and his father and brother were awarded the father of the Xiao family - a large and illiterate who was not illiterate with a basket of characters as Prime Minister Dongming, in charge of six political affairs!

This move aroused the anger of the courtiers and wrote letters one after another to persuade Emperor Ai to take back his order.

However, Emperor Ai was addicted to Xiao's beauty and was blown by the pillow wind and lost his reason. Unexpectedly, he beheaded dozens of officials from the center and six ministries, setting off a bloody storm in the Eastern Ming court.

In order to consolidate his power, Prime Minister Xiao solicited the party disciples everywhere and unexpectedly intended to marry the Yu family and marry his stupid daughter to Yu Xingbang's own nephew.

At that time, although Xingbang was far away from Chu, the family stayed in Jinyang Beijing. Xingbang's father had always been upright and looked down on the Xiao family. How could his descendants suffer such humiliation? Therefore, he Yan Ci refused Prime Minister Xiao's proposal.

So Prime Minister Xiao came into slander, falsely framed the Yu family's rebellion, and ordered the mourning emperor to kill the Yu family and return Xingbang to Beijing for punishment.

There were more than 50 people in the poor Yu family. Only Yan and a pair of children escaped the disaster, and even the eldest son unfortunately died in the disaster.

The surviving son is naturally the later Emperor Taizong, and his daughter is Princess Shangyuan.

Yan took a pair of children and went through hardships and nine deaths before arriving in Chudi and reunited with Gaozu. Gaozu had already learned that his family was unfortunate and forced him to support Chuzhou and fight against the Dongming royal family.

Princess Shangyuan was bumpy when she was a child, and naturally not as pretentious as an ordinary boudoir. Because she followed Gaozu's expedition to the north, she practiced her riding and shooting skills. When Cardamom was young, she independently planned to build a flying phoenix department. At first, she was just a waitress and a member of the soldiers around her. Later, Unexpectedly, it expanded to nearly 10,000 people and attracted many young heroes to join.

Under the leadership of the princess, the flying phoenix department and the cavalry led by Su Ting fought side by side on the battlefield, and made great achievements in the foundation of the Dalong River.

The young heroes and heroines marched side by side and galloping across the country. They were not only childhood sweethearts but also friends of life and death. Finally, they got married and got married. I don't know how many people talked about it and admired it. It was really a good story and legend in the wolf's smoke and beacon fire.

Time flies, and people are flicking away. When the tenth anniversary of the Yuan Dynasty, the King of Chu and the Duke of Lao have long passed away, and the title is inherited by their respective eldest sons respectively. Princess Shangyuan has been awarded the title of the eldest princess, the eldest daughter-in-law of today and is still highly respected by the subjects.

The royal palace of Chu and the Duke of Wei are not only neighbors, but also blood relatives, and they have always been close to each other. At present, the wife of Yu Yu, the son of the king of Chu, is the second daughter of the Duke of Wei - the fifth daughter of the Su family known as Kyoto Shuanghua.

The son has been weak and sick since he was a child. It was not until the age of 16 that he was diagnosed by a magic doctor in Qinggu. After several years of recuperation, his condition seems to have improved.

But this is the Spring Festival, and in the early morning of the 16th of the first lunar month, a subordinate of the King of Chu went to the Duke of Wei to report the funeral...

What's more shocking is that in the evening of that day, the Duke of Wei also held up a white flag and mourned!

-The eldest princess of Shangyuan, she is over!

-The son of the king of Chu!

- Concubine of the King of Chu, died!

Even if the haze of the assassination of the prince still suppressed the subjects of Jinyangjing, the continuous bad news of the King of Chu and the Duke of Wei still caused discussion among the city.

A few days later, many noble families faintly found out the hidden feelings--

On that cold and quiet Lantern Festival night, it turned out that it was the imperial concubine who poisoned the son of the king of Chu, left a suicide note, and committed suicide for fear of sin. When the eldest princess heard the news, she was heartbroken, coughed blood and fainted. Although Duke Wei immediately entered the palace and asked Qinggu, who had become a doctor, to treat her mother, she was also exhausted.

Many noble women covered their faces and sighed: "The eldest princess, a generation of women, I don't know how many eyebrows, but I didn't expect it to end up because of a few bitter descendants... After marrying the third prince, Aunt Su heard that she had two consecutive minor births, which was also seriously ill. Now she is just lying on her couch and panting. Because of her, the eldest princess is very Worrie... In addition, the son of Duke Wei died because of the assassination of the prince... No wonder the eldest princess can't stand the sudden death of the fifth mother.

"Su's five-niang is both talented and beautiful. She has been regarded as the pearl of her hand by the eldest princess since she was a child. Even the empress dowager is full of praise. How could she do such a stupid thing? It made her grandmother..."

"The son of the king of Chu is also pitiful. He has been suffering from illness since he was a child. He finally got better, but he didn't want to be poisoned by his wife."

"Although the son of Chu is weak, he is extremely gentle. It is said that he is also obedient and caring for the imperial concubine. I don't think that the concubine is as beautiful as a fairy on the surface, but she has a pair of snakes and scorpions. One day, the husband and wife have been married for two years. How can they do it?"

The nobles of the family are talking about it, some are curious, some are lamenting, some are scolding, and some are happy with disasters, but whether it is pity or accusation, those who have passed away can no longer be heard, and there is no way to explain.

The years are still in a hurry and will not stop for anyone.

In the 11th year of Yuanqing, the assassination of the prince finally came to an end. The final murderer was actually an assassination alliance and several Beiyuan corons, and today's asthma is becoming more and more serious, so the ministers admed that they should set up a crown prince this morning to determine the hearts of the country and the people. Among several adult princes, the fourth prince, whose biological mother's status is the most respected, has the highest voice, but now the sacred heart has always only known how to recite the wind and recite the moon. In recent years, he has been addicted to female sex and depressed third princes.

Someone has insight into the Sacred Heart——

I think that the emperor still suspects that the death of the prince is in a relationship with several outstanding princes, but trusts the third prince wholeheartedly.

In the 12th year of Yuanqing, the third prince Haoxi became the crown prince and declared the world.

In the same year, the emperor collapsed and the temple was called Mingzong.

Yu Haoxi ascended the throne as emperor and granted amnesty to the world. The following year, he changed his name to "Qingping" and appointed Su, the eldest daughter of Duke of Wei, as his queen.

In August of the first year of Qingping, the queen died, and her nickname was Huining.

Because the son of the king of Chu died, the king of Chu had no more children, and the emperor sympathized that the king of Chu had no heirs and specially allowed him to be the eldest son of the general of Zhenguo as his heir - Yuzhou was awarded the son of the king of Chu.

After the national mourning, Yuzhou married the seventh daughter of Jianning Houfu, who once called the Huang family of Shuanghua in Kyoto as his wife.

Ten miles of red makeup around the city, Suzhengfang once again attracted guests after many years of silence. The traffic was endless, and the voices of congratulations were endless, but none of those who had passed away mentioned it.

Only the sycamore leaves in the middle of the road and sing gently with the golden wind: In the high wall and deep house, how many years are like flowing water, and in the Yutang painting building, whose cardamom is green? I still remember the play Qingmei under bamboo, but I forgot the previous alliance and forgot the previous alliance.
