The Sword Dynasty - 221

The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the palace cannot be without a ruler for a day.

Any prince’s conquest will generally be as fast as possible when returning to the imperial court.

Looking at Luhua leisurely, that is what idlers do.

The king is never idle.

However, the Yu Jiaxing Wu of the Da Chu Dynasty stopped in Wancheng.

Wancheng originally belonged to the Han region. It was a territory divided by the Dachu dynasty when the Han dynasty was destroyed. Wancheng and Lushan are only a few walls apart, but it is naturally a border town, and it is not a major part of the army to accumulate food. city.

It is not a wise thing to stay in such a place more.

However, almost all of the people in this imperial army knew why.

Chu Emperor’s real oil ran out and the lamp died.

Many people know that the longest reigning emperor’s body has long been a problem. With the beginning of the Lushan League, with the violent fluctuations in the vitality of Lushan, and finally the fall of several masters, his spirit Qishen also seemed to be completely exhausted, and all the ills in the body broke out.

Emperor Chu’s reputation outside was not good. He was lascivious and mediocre. He didn’t like government affairs, but the veterans who had followed him for many years knew that his low-key peace and even mediocrity were just his means of being a man.

His inability to see and do not care, many times just tolerant and let go.

Therefore, no one underestimated him in the Da Chu Dynasty, and not even many people opposed him.

You can criticize him, you can despise him, but you respect him.

The palace in Wancheng was built as early as when Emperor Chu came.

On the dragon bed in the palace, Emperor Chu was leaning on the soft couch, his eyes wanted to condense, but he was a little distracted, so his face was calm, but he couldn’t help but feel a little helpless and sympathetic.

Concubine Zhao Xiang looked down at him, holding his hands.

“I thought you could at least insist on returning to the imperial city.”

She said slowly: “I didn’t expect it to be so fast.”

Chu Di felt the softness and warmth of her hands, smiled slightly, and said: “I didn’t expect to be so fast. Who would have thought of meeting Mo Shoucheng at the Goddess Summit.”

Concubine Zhao Xiang was silent, but her hands began to exert a little force, and her knuckles began to light up.

“Don’t do this.” Chu Di shook his head.

Concubine Zhao Xiang shook her head stubbornly and looked at him and said, “It doesn’t matter if you die on the way to the battle, but you die on the way back to Lushan…but your reputation is too bad, I don’t want to hear it. People in later generations said that you were so scared by Emperor Yuanwu Yijian Pingshan that the old disease relapsed and you would return to heaven if you could not survive the capital. Although your reputation and my reputation have never been better, but when I don’t want you to leave Carry more of this reputation.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Chu Di shook his head again, looked at her and said, “I just want you to survive.”

“Still?” Zhao Xiangfei didn’t understand what he meant.

Emperor Chu nodded: “In the future, you only need to survive…you don’t need to do anything, you just need to survive, even if you suffer a big loss, you will also survive.”

Concubine Zhao Xiang still didn’t understand, and asked, “Why?”

“Because this allows us Da Chu to exist longer than Da Yan and Da Qi.” Emperor Chu smiled and said, “Maybe it may not necessarily be able to survive Da Qin.”

Zhao Xiangfei looked at what he wanted to say, but she felt something, and her soft hands became stiff.

Emperor Chu smiled wearily, and said, “No matter what kind of person you will be in the eyes of Chu people in the future or in the eyes of the official historian, I will give Da Chu to you, I am very relieved.”

After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes, as if tired and asleep.

Concubine Zhao Xiang held his hand, looked at him for a long time, and said: “Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do it well.”

Then she stood up, turned and walked out.

“Your Majesty is dead.”

Her voice rang in the cold palace, and then turned into another thunder in this deep spring.

“Your Majesty is dead!”

There was a sound of transmission and grief.

Her figure is solidified like a statue under the eaves of this palace, her face is like jade, but she has never seen sadness.

It’s not unsorrowful, but for many people, there is no time for sadness in life.

…

Emperor Chu collapsed on the way.

Regarding Changling, at the end of the spring of the twelfth year of Yuanwu, when the news spread to the streets and alleys, Changling’s most noble mistress returned to Changling and returned to her harem.

When her figure appeared on the stone road with terracotta warriors on both sides, Fusu was already waiting on the stone road.

Looking at Fusu, who was saluting with joy, there was a doting look in her perfect eyes, but she quickly became absolutely calm.

“You can no longer participate in the Minshan Sword Meeting.”

She looked at Fusu and said.

Fusu’s body trembled slightly, his face suddenly paled, and he asked, “Mother, why?”

“I know that friendship is very important to you, and I also know that I promised you to let you participate in the Minshan Sword Club.”

The queen looked at him gently, and said, “Allowing you to participate in the Minshan Sword Fair is to allow you to walk freely outside the palace, but your identity is already different.”

Fusu was dumbfounded.

“Because Lushan League will have no accident.”

The queen raised her head, looked at the far area of Changling, and whispered softly: “So you will soon become a prince… A prince walking outside is nothing, but a newly erected prince can’t.”

“Prince going to participate in such a sword meeting, the etiquette is not suitable. And I can no longer give you a lot of time to play… You have a lot of things to learn and a lot of things to do.”

“I think you should understand.”

Listening to these words, Fusu’s head dropped.

He understands these principles, but he can’t help but feel sad.

“I know you are a little sad, but as long as that young wine shop is good enough, you will naturally have the opportunity to socialize.”

The queen seemed to see through what he was thinking, and her voice softened a lot: “The boy did a good job in Wushan. I am very satisfied. Naturally, there will be a great reward.”

Hearing these words from her, Fusu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he became happy, happy for what happened to his friend.

“Thank you, empress.”

In his opinion, since even she said “heavy reward”, this reward is naturally extremely heavy, and the extremely heavy reward may be able to ensure that Ding Ning can successfully pass the Minshan Sword Society and enter the Minshan Sword Sect practice.

But he didn’t know that there are many aspects to a person, and the handling of a matter by a noble Changling mistress like her is often divided into many aspects.

Reward is only one aspect.

…

…

“It’s so extravagant and desperate, so many flowers are carved on a window lattice, but it’s better to chop wood and burn it than the door panel, which just saves some effort.”

“This is iron birch, it’s not that easy to split.”

A rough-clothed man with a hatchet looked at the wooden window mullions with a few more marks on the ground in a puzzled manner. He raised his head and said to Ding Ning, who reminded him in disbelief, “How can this wood be so hard? At this point?”

“It will sink when thrown in the water, of course it will be hard.”

Ding Ning smiled slightly and said, “If you want to chop it for firewood, you need a big axe. I’m afraid this hatchet will be chopped until tomorrow morning.”

“Bah! A window lattice is so exquisite, how much effort does it take to carve such a pattern on such a hard wood? So much fancy, how much silver is wasted?”

The rough-clothed man with a hatchet spit out and inserted his trouser belt, but he no longer wanted to waste any strength on this window lattice. At the same time, he contemptuously said: “No wonder this Chu Dynasty took us so much advantage, nine After a year, he couldn’t beat us, but cut a large area for us.”

Ding Ning smiled and said no more. Following the rough-clothed man’s gaze at this time, it was a courtyard.

This courtyard occupies a huge area with numerous buildings. It must have been extremely gorgeous at first, but when it was swept away at this time, the roof tiles were broken. Not only did the buildings inside have been demolished in a disfigured manner, but even the high walls were smashed. Many stains, many big holes were removed.

Ding Ning’s side followed Shen Yi.

Looking at the dilapidated scene in this courtyard through the big hole in the wall, Shen Yi couldn’t help but sighed: “Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Liling Monarch’s Mansion has become like this.”

No one knows the conversation in the deepest part of the floating prison.

However, everything complied with the words of the strongest military division in the history of Daqin.

When the carnival atmosphere spread arbitrarily in the streets of Changling, many people inevitably thought of hatred.

In the beginning, many Changling people who had lost their relatives in the battle with Da Chu just smashed what they could grab at random against the courtyard wall of Emperor Liling’s mansion angrily.

But when more and more people gathered, such anger was difficult to control and turned into a frenzy.

Only on the first day, the courtyard wall and courtyard door were broken, and many valuables were looted.

On the second day, some furnishings were looted.

On the third day, even the precious vegetation and some useful wood were taken away.

From the night of the third day, even some stones and building beams were pulled down with ropes and towed away.

At this time, scattered objects of Liling Monarch’s Mansion can be seen everywhere in many streets and alleys of Changling.

The Liling Monarch’s Mansion, which was once legendary in Changling, was turned into ruins in these few days.

On the first day when the Liling Monarch’s Mansion was undergoing change, Ding Ning went to the scene to see the excitement. As he expected, those who stayed behind in the Liling Monarch’s Mansion, seeing the situation beyond their control, had already treated everything to practitioners or practitioners. Take away the valuable things from the court, and destroy the ones that are destroyed.

All he can do is to see if there are any clues left that are valuable to him and can give him some information.

Finding clues from the subtleties, for the entire huge Liling Monarch Mansion, a few days is naturally not enough.

Like many Changling people who were extremely satisfied every time they entered the dilapidated Liling Monarch Mansion, Ding Ning also entered the Liling Monarch Mansion again.

The broken-down man with a hatchet slanted in his waistband wandered in the unmanned Liling Monarch’s mansion with great satisfaction, followed him in a hole in the wall, Ding Ning and Shen Yi, who walked into the Liling Monarch’s mansion, walked towards a cavern in the depths. Half of the buildings.

At this time, Li Yunrui was also walking into Liling Monarch’s Mansion from another place.
