In May, King Suining defeated Huizhou, and led the remnants to join King Huizhou, meeting with King Kangping, Chu Anhou, Xin Yuan Hou, Wu Lie Hou, Cheng De Hou, and Jing An Hou. Wang Yujun of Yuzhang went out of the three stages to win the four cities and went straight to the Central Plains.

In June, Suining Wang Qin Wang Dajun gathered his two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses and struck back in three ways. Yuzhang Wang Ping settled the Pengze rebellion and cut off the history of Pengze. All states and counties were afraid of Yuzhang Wang Junwei and all returned.

On the third day of July, Zhuzhou finally lost ground, and Wu Liehou led His Majesty's pioneers to drive straight in and cut off the road that must pass through Beijing. On the fifth day of July, the left-wing army of King Yuzhang attacked the Yellow Soil Road unexpectedly, fighting for four days and three nights, and Wuliehoubing defeated and died.

On the ninth day of July, King Yuzhang's right-wing army captured Xiluguan, ambushing the king of Kangping County in the Valley of Ghost Fog, and the general conquered his assault on the camp of King Suining.

On July 11, Wang Yuzhang led the Chinese army to advance into Xinjin County, and met with the army of Chenghui Wang on the narrow road. King Suining split his troops, and the soldiers were shut down by Lin Liang. King Chenghui was defeated and left the city alone to escape.

On July 15th, King Juning and Yuzhang Wang met with each other in the throat of the capital teacher—Linliang Pass.

Linliangguan is only three hundred miles away from the capital, which is the last barrier of the capital.

The day after arriving in Linliangguan, the news came from the detective Pegasus.

His Highness Zi Er set fire to the palace and ambushed General Wu Wei at the palace gate. Disguised as a guard, he escaped from the imperial city, and the Emperor secretly went to the Suining army overnight. The closet said that the Wang family and the Yuzhang king conspired to rebellion, forced the palace, and the imperial chamber was in danger. The Emperor ordered the abolished queen Wang to be a concubine, and ordered the gentleman Chu to take office. General Wu Wei was assassinated and killed.

The news came that I was busy on the side of Xiao Yan, personally sorting out the case and writing it up as a hill-like clerical post.

When I heard Ziluo Palace, I turned around and looked up, forgetting to put down the stack of tablets in my hand.

That phrase "General Wu Wei was assassinated and killed", I don't even sound like it ... what is he talking about? My uncle, General Wu Wei, who is in command of the banned leader, is dead? I glanced back at Xiao Yan, and he certainly looked at me.

The sergeant who was circulated was still kneeling on the ground, Xiao Yuan didn't return his head, the corners of his lips were tight, and he said softly, "I see, step back."

Putting down the stack of notebooks stiffly, a book slipped to the ground, and I slowly leaned over to pick it. Fu reached out his hand, but was tightly held by Xiao Yan. He got up and hugged me, his arms firm and strong, and he was not allowed to struggle to retreat.

I stared at him blankly and murmured, "It's not true, they are mistaken, how did the uncle die ... uncle ..." The smile was bright, the beautiful figure fluttered past his eyes, and he held me in his arms since childhood. , Uncle who took me on horseback and taught me archery, how could he die at this time? We are here, only a few hundred miles away from Beijing, only one last step!

"Yes, General Wu Wei was martyred." Xiao Yan stared at me, killing his eyes with regret and grief, "I'm one step behind in the end!"

I was unstable, leaned on him softly, and fell down, but couldn't even make a noise.

Xiao Yan embraced me tightly, without saying a word, his body was stiff.

After a long time, he said in my ears, "Ah, I promise you, you will sacrifice General Wuwei with the head of Zilu!"

Zilu—I was shocked. If I was invaded by snow and ice, how could it be Zilu?

His elder brother Zilong, His Royal Highness Ziru, and His Highness Ziluo ... These three very different young men have spent more than ten years together with me. In terms of blood relationship, my elder brother is closest to me; in terms of affection, my son-in-law is the closest to me; the only son is a lonely and silent young man who is not kind to anyone.

The prince has a distinguished status, and his son-in-law's biological mother has special favors, but the only son law is from a low-profile Jie Xi. The biological mother died early and was raised by her queen's mother at an early age. His grandmother showed great sympathy for his weak and sick child, and he took good care of him until he was an adult. There were always servants waiting around him, and there was a faint medicine smell all year round.

In the year that my brother got married, Zilu became seriously ill, and when he healed, he became cold to everyone, even to me. At that time, I was still very young, but my brother Zilu refused to play with me ... That year, many sad things happened. I died of illness six months after my first marriage, and I lost my grandmother in the fall, and my brother also left Beijing. Went to Jiangnan.

After the queen queen passed away, Zilu became more silent and indifferent. She buried her books all day long, stayed out of the house, and was in good and bad condition.

I don't even remember his face. Seeing him for the last time in memory, faintly on the eve of my wedding-he turned out from the side entrance of the Donghua Temple, holding an old scroll, a Tsing Yi wide sleeve, a cotton scarf, and stood under the light purple and deep blue hibiscus of the tree , Smiled at me a little, as if a faint flash over the cold lake, and immediately returned to tranquility.

Throughout the night, my hands and feet were cold and I couldn't stop shaking, even if I was embraced by Xiao Xiao, I still didn't feel half warm.

When Xiao Zhuang got up, he called the doctor.

I grabbed his hand and refused to let go. I smiled sadly and shook my head. "I'm fine, just stay with me."

His gaze reached my heart through my eyes, as if to see everything, "When you are sad, you cry, don't laugh."

And I never cried, I just felt empty and weak, and it was cold from my fingertips to the bottom of my heart.

My uncle died, and I lost a loved one, and he could not even see him for the last time.

Uncle, spoil my uncle like that.

The lights in the tent were out, and the sound of crows outside was shocking.

I lay quietly in Xiao Huan's arms, and drew the only warmth from him.

"How could it be a sub-law ..." In the darkness, I opened my eyes blankly and clenched Xiao's hand tightly.

He didn't answer, as if already asleep.

I can't believe that Zilu killed his uncle. I can't believe that Wenxiu's lonely young man will also be involved in this battle for royal life. Perhaps this result should have been expected, but I never thought that when this day came, it would be so terrible.

The same is true of Lien Tzu, so what about him, the one I least want to think of?

There was a chill all over the body, and he dared not close his eyes, fearing that when he closed his eyes, he would see his son-in-law and his blood-stained uncle.

I don't care if Xiao Yue is asleep or not, he murmurs to him about his childhood, his uncle, and the fuzzy laws in his memory.

Suddenly he turned over and pressed me under his eyes, his eyes were so deep, "The old man is gone, no prince or princess has any relationship with you!"

He didn't allow me to speak again, and leaned down and kissed down ... the burning entanglement between the lips and teeth, the warmth of the breath, gradually dissipated the darkness in front of me.

I couldn't help waking up at night. Every time I woke up, he held me close to me.

In the darkness, we are quietly dependent on each other, and silence is more than a thousand words.

The escape of Zilu, the emperor's secret, made King Juning famous, and gave us a surprise.

However, at the point where the swordsmen met at the moment, how could an imperial edict obstruct Xiao Yue's pace, and it was the only reason to defeat the king.

What do you say to the world, to ask the King of Kings-more than half of the soldiers and horses in the world are in Xiao Xuan ’s hands, dare to follow the royal family, and the prefectures and counties against Xiao Xun have also lost defeat. The two veterans of the king are still resisting death. The remaining few soldiers and soldiers in the vassal towns knew that the imperial family had gone, and the praying arm was able to block the car and simply defended themselves, only for a side view.

Chu Junyuan was in the tomb of Emperor Huang, and he was controlled by others. It was just an empty talk. In other words, this is just the emperor's last resistance-he tried his best not to let his aunt be satisfied, and he didn't want the crown prince to sit securely.

The widow's wife, the son of his uncle, and the emperor's house turned out to be like this after all.

The aunt's office did all the calculations, but it didn't count the half-rules. Once this secret came out, the crown prince's emperor would always be stained with unwashable stains. No matter how good the rule of the world would be in the future, there would be no glory.

Even if there is a secret, it will not be possible to restore the defeat of Su Ning Wang Bing's defeat.

On the third day of August, ten days before my nineteenth birthday, Xiao Kun broke through the Liangguan Pass.

King Suining was severely wounded in seven places and died of exhaustion.

Ziru and Chenghui Wang led the remaining remnants, less than 50,000, fled along the river, and went south to Chongyuan County.

Xiao Yan thickly cared about the body of King Ning, and ordered him to descend to help the spirit, and the three armies raised their grief.

The loyal prince defended the royal family's final dignity with his own life.

Xiao Yan said that it is the greatest honor for soldiers to win the respect of the enemy.

I don't understand the glory of soldiers, but I understand that generals who can respect the enemy will also win the respect of the world.

The next day, the army commander drove straight in and was stationed forty miles from the capital.

The aunt's purpose came, and Xiao Xiao retired three hundred miles. He was not allowed to bring soldiers and horses into the pilgrimage.

On the ground that "the harem cannot do politics, and the purpose is not up to the three armies," Xiao Xun refused to accept the purpose.

After two days of stalemate, his father finally came forward to mediate, persuaded his aunt, and bowed his head to Xiao Zheng.

On the eighth day of August, from the camp at Chaoyangmen, forty miles of the martyrdom were sprinkled with clean water, paved with yellow sand, and the Guards stood in battle along the way. The crown prince personally led civil and military officials, went out of Chaoyangmen, and welcomed King Yuzhang into Beijing on the outskirts. Officials from the princely rank all kneeled down.

Three thousand iron riding Jingwei once again stepped into the Chaoyang Gate.

The handsome flag was raised along the road, and the emblem was displayed. Wherever they passed, the hundred officials bowed their heads.

Xiao Xun unloaded the battle armor dyed with Zhengzheng and entered the dynasty with the Prince's clothing. I personally dressed him with a nine-chapter dragon-valve valkin suit, a dragon-like crown, and replaced the chilling and frightening old sword with a seven-star bright moon sword. After the big wedding, I also changed into the princess's uniform again. Zhai Yi Ziyu and Jiuyi double wear, riding on a car, carrying a ceremonial ceremonial, and following the horse to the heavens.

In a battle suit and a suit, from the frontier to the sky, to the Jiutian Temple, he finally took this step. Staring at his proud shore from the car, I know that from this day, the hero-generalized general has truly become the king of Yuzhang, who has the power.

On the same day, he overlooked his triumphant triumph over the pavilion, deterred by his mighty army, and did not even dare to look up.

Today, I have become the princess of Yuzhang.

This supreme imperial city is the place where I was born and grew up here. I have looked countless times from the heavens and wondered about the earthly colors. I never imagined that one day, I would board this high palace door and look down at all beings as a conqueror.

His elder brother's golden crown and yellow robe, his flamboyant flamboyance, is as good as ever; behind him is my purple robe and jade belt. His graceful father, even his elder brother is already dressed in the doctor's clothes of silver and blue, and he is more and more handsome and beautiful. .

My dear, in such a situation, met me in such a grand manner.

The moment my father met my eyes, he smiled slightly, and the silver horns shone slightly in the sun. After these days, he added a few more grays.

Xiao Kun dismounted from the front ten feet of the imperial palace, and I stepped off the car, walking slowly behind him. Each step seemed to be closer and farther from my father.

The bright sunshine of Beijing in August made my eyes feel sour and bright, as if everything around me was unreal.

"Wei Chen came to the rescue late, shocking His Royal Highness, and begging him to plead guilt!" Xiao Xun said in a loud voice, kneeling on one side with one knee, but not bowing his head.

I then kneeled heavily, but in the direction of my father and brother.

"The king of Yuzhang worked hard!" The prince stepped forward to help Xiao Yan.

Listening to the words of the magnanimous Jia En, from the mouth of his elder brother, solemn and rigid. I lowered my head and looked down, secretly smiling, warming up in my heart ... I don't know how long these words made him recite, and he hated these words most. At this time, the elder brother was holding Chu Jun's magnificence, but his eyes were still indifferent.

The hem of the purple robe was reflected in my eyes, and I looked up suddenly, seeing that my father was in front of me.

The soreness that endures for so long seems to be breaking the tide, which caught me off guard.

"Father ..." I whispered, but saw my father bow his head slightly, and led the courtiers to salute.

——Oh, Xiao Yan is the prince, I am his righteous concubine, and my identity is above his father. Even so, I still kneel to my father.

"The princess is free." My father's warm hands lifted me up steadily, but his face trembled slightly.

Xiao Yan presented his nephew to his father, and before the ministers, he still called him "Master Zuoxiang."

Over my father's shoulders, I saw Yun Xiao's elder brother. He looked at me quietly, and then looked at Xiao Yan again.

Feeling sour in my heart, I pressed my lips lightly and smiled with my face up.

The prince led the civil and military officials to set foot in the Golden Palace, Xiao Yan and his father, one left and one right, separated on two sides.

I was greeted by the housekeeper into the side hall waiting, separated by a curtain of gold-studded jade, and distantly saw Dan's servants kneeling down, and the aunt who was seriously ill was supported by the aunt.

The old man dressed in a dragon robe and faltering with me, remembering that he was in the prime of his life, and the spirited emperor, had been judged as two.

The queen standing next to him, Feng Guan was serving, noble and could not look up. I ca n’t see her aunt ’s looks, she only saw her embroidered coat on her vermilion dress, and her dress was extremely eye-catching—she was still so strong, she would always be dazzling in front of people, and she would never show half of weakness. In this temple, the two men who defeated the king are her husband and son; the late emperor is the one who has been with her for many years. He had come to an end, but she was left alone, desolate for half a lifetime.

I stared at my aunt silently from behind the curtain, and the palace servants who stood silently behind me, didn't they quietly look at me behind the curtain. How many eyes are there in this palace like the sea? How many people are watching in the treacherous courthouse? How many people are watching us in the chaotic world.

The emperor was no longer able to speak. The prince, in the position of a prisoner, proclaimed in court, congratulating all the rebellious heroes.

Zuoxiang Jiafeng Taishi, Yuzhang Wang Jiafeng Lieutenant, Song Huai'en and other generals all entered the third rank, and Mu Lian also won Jinfeng.

The rebel party headed by the second prince, the King Luning, and the King Chenghui rebelled against the crime of affrontation and abolition.

The voices of the Manchu dynasty and the military made three long lived voices, ringing through the Nine Palace Palace.

His father and Xiao Yan stood facing each other.

I narrowed my eyes quietly, as if seeing the raging blood flowing through the palace door jade steps.

This life-and-death battle between thrones has finally settled.

Those who die will be turned into dust and buried forever under the mighty sky.

After ending the dynasty, the emperor and aunt retreated to the inner hall, and a hundred officials rushed out.

Xiao Yue went to his father, and the two laughed in the hall, like a pair of virtuous filial piety. My elder brother retreated and seemed to be reluctant to persevere with Xiao Yan.

I wanted to chase out my brother, to follow him home, to see my mother ... and I just sat motionless in the end.

Back here, it's not that comfortable state, I can't do anything at will. The Lord of Shangyang County can run back to his parents' house to be coquettish, while Princess Yuzhang must closely follow King Yuzhang and cannot make mistakes.

As I watched my brother leave the hall, the farther and farther, I had to stare blankly, staring at my fingertips for a while.

Suddenly, I remembered the day of my wedding, full of glamorous, high-end sitting, watching everything at my disposal, but I could not speak, like a flawless jade carving doll.

"The queen has a will, and the princess Xuanyuzhang will meet."

A sharp voice sounded behind him, but when he looked back, he saw a Chu Se Jinyi's inner servant standing proudly at the door.

It was Xuegong Xue, and I recognized the old palace man who had been with my aunt for many years.

He bowed down and smiled. "A long time ago, did the princess recognize the slave?"

As soon as my aunt retired, I proclaimed that I didn't know how to deal with her. For a while, my mind was chaotic, and I just barely smiled, "Gonggong Xue, it's been a long time."

"Please move the princess to the palace." Gong Xue led me and went all the way to the palace.

The familiar cloister hall, the garden flowers and green trees, everywhere is that year ... I lower my head and can't bear to look around.

Everything in front of Zhaoyang Hall is as usual.

I stopped and stood for a moment in silence, leaving the maids out of the temple and walking in alone.

Once in and out of the Zhaoyang Hall, there was no need to serve insiders. Today, the guard at the front of the house saw me and bowed down respectfully.

"Queen playing the queen, see Princess Yuzhang." Xuegong knelt at the door.

The ring of the inner palace sounded loudly, and the hurried pace, the familiar aroma of aroma suddenly took me back to the past.

"Is that grandma?" Aunt turned out of the screen and came quickly, her clothes had been changed, her makeup had not been removed, and her steps were slightly futile.

Finally approached her, and seeing her appearance clearly, I was stunned.

The heavy palace powder has been unable to cover the wrinkles on her forehead and eyes. When I returned to Beijing this year's Lantern Festival, I also met her. In just six months, my aunt seemed ten years old!

I stood on the temple, only a few steps away from her, but she looked at her with a gaze.

"Is Grandma here?" The aunt still smiled gracefully, narrowed her eyes and tried to see me clearly.

I hurried forward to help her, "Aunt, it's me!"

At that moment, a cold light rose behind him.

I'm too familiar with knife light, murderous power and danger.

"Be careful--" I rushed to my aunt without thinking, pushing her aside.

At about the same time, the figure of Chu Se flew in front of him, raised his knife and cut it at us, "Queen Queen, let's meet!"

I knocked down my aunt and fell down beside her.

Ming's dangling blade was cut into the air, and between the light and flint, I only knew that she would hug her aunt and protect her underneath.

Xue Liang's knife shook his eyes pale, his arms were slightly cold, and the maids were screaming and chaotic.

I looked up and saw the face of Xue Gonggong's face. A face of Fanfen Tuan was distorted and terrible. The short blade in my hand was worth a minute and did not stab me.

He was dragged by Yuxiu from behind, and Yuxiu hugged his arm and bit his elbow fiercely.

Xuegong screamed in struggling, and lifted the knife and cut it off at Yuxiu's head.

"Come, there are assassins!" The palace ladies screamed and ran, someone rushed to resist, and one of them slammed into him.

Gong Xue fluttered, and the blade cut in the shoulder of Yuxiu.

I dragged my aunt desperately and ran to the door of the temple desperately. The guards in front of the temple and my maids have heard the news.

However, the steps of Zhaoyang Hall were so long, watching the guard approaching, the aunt suddenly stunned and tripped by the long skirt.

I was dragged by her and became unstable. The two fell down together, and my aunt couldn't help screaming. "Come—"

Under the heavy suit, something hard stuck to the waist coldly, I suddenly remembered it was Xiao Yan's short sword!

There was a terrible shout from behind, and the sharp voice of the non-male and non-girl roared and approached.

I gritted my teeth and pulled my sword, and struggled to get up. I saw Yuxiu half-bathed in blood, and hugged Xuegong's leg.

Xuegong turned back and raised his sword and cut off to Yuxiu, his back turned towards me.

I held the sword in both hands and flung it out, and my whole strength was on the five-inch iron blade.

The blade didn't reach the handle, and the muffled sound of the flesh was clear in my ear. I drew my sword suddenly, and the blood was radiated, and a bright red splashed in front of me.

Xuegong turned back stiffly, stared at me, and slowly raised the knife--

The figure flickered, and a guard leapt forward, kicked the blade in his hand, halted his left and right halberds, and nailed him firmly to the ground!

Xue Gonggong's round and fat white face turned to death gray, blood was pouring from his lips, and dying grinned, "Oh, emperor, the slave is useless!"

I was so weak that I didn't dare let go of holding the dagger tightly. Only then did the cold sweat come through.

Just in an instant, sword light, killing, life and death ... everything was settled.

"Ama, ama!" Aunt leaned to the ground, trembling and shaking, reaching out to me.

I was leaning over to help her, but found that I was also shaking, my feet were soft, and I fell on my knees beside my aunt.

"Have you hurt me?" She hugged me and hurriedly touched me, but felt my **** hands and screamed again.

"Aunt is not afraid, I'm okay, I'm okay ..." I hugged her hard and realized that she was thin and almost had only a bone left.

My aunt stared at me for a moment, staring blindly, panting heavily, "Okay, you're fine, we're all fine."

"Queen Qilu, Assassin Xue Dao'an has fallen down!" The guard in front of the temple yelled.

My aunt was stiff and suddenly furious, "Waste is a bunch of waste! What do I want you to do, kill me! Kill!"

The guard in front of the temple knelt down with the maids trembling, and they dared not approach.

I looked back at Yuxiu, and the **** man fell to the ground, hurriedly summoned the doctor, and ordered the guard to look around the party.

In addition to Yuxiu's severe coma, two other palace men sustained minor injuries. Aunt Liao, the aunt's most trusted close-up female officer, had a knife in the neck and was lying in a pool of blood.

I looked around, and calmly calmed down, and said harshly to everyone, "Immediately dispatch the forbidden army to guard the East Palace, closely protect His Royal Highness, and send the guard of the Zhaoyang Palace; Chuan Yuzhang and Zuo Xiang went to the palace immediately to see you; what is not to be told Go out, if there is a little bit of wind leaking, Zhaoyang Hall stands up and down without amnesty! "
