Zhu Lan is dead

Since the Zhou Dynasty was enshrined in 130, every generation of emperors has been industrious and frugal, and has increased their gifts. There has never been a single sentence criticizing the imperial government in the volumes of the dynasty's annals. The state affairs are turbulent, the wind and rain are precarious, the sect's misfortune is self-evident, and the relatives kill each other and become enemies. It was not until the fourth year of Ning'an that they gradually calmed down and disappeared.

——Jing'an Hall

The man's deep sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his handsome face was as straight and sharp as an evergreen cypress, which had not been attacked by wind and frost for many years.

His expression has always carried the killing spirit of fighting on the battlefield. He looks majestic when he raises his eyes, and he is afraid of thousands of miles when he is pitched. He is silent wherever he looks.

There is a lacquer box on the sandalwood incense table covered with yellow velvet. At this time, the lacquer box has been uncovered, and inside is a volume of well-preserved scriptures. It is shameless to ask more questions. This is the long-lost treasure scroll. through.

Zhou Lixiao felt strange, but he couldn't help feeling a little more leisurely in his heart.

Half an hour ago, the guard of the inner court reported that there was an item of unknown origin requested to be handed over to Jinshang by the North Yamen Division of the capital. The return of the scriptures and national treasures was originally a happy event, but the attendant did not know what was going on today, and he showed a very strange expression on his face. It happened that the atmosphere in the hall was still so frozen, as if frozen The ice layer was so cold that it seemed to freeze people to death.

The guard knelt on the ground and trembled, and when he was about to fall down, the emperor on the high seat finally opened his mouth.

But he asked an off-topic question, "When will King Yingru return?"

Since King Yingru left Beijing, because Zhou Lixiao always asked the prince when he would return on time like three meals a day?So the guard was consciously counting the time, and at this moment he said tremblingly: "My lord was already on the road half a month ago, and he will arrive in the capital at about [-] o'clock tonight!"

Zhou Lixiao frowned deeper, "It's so late?"

The guard couldn't help being distressed, and should someone from the Prince Ru's mansion send a message, saying that if His Majesty asks when the Prince will arrive in Beijing, he should choose a later time to answer, the later the better, late at night is also fine, lest His Majesty let the boats and cars go again The prince, who had been tired for half a month, rushed to face the saint without stopping.

After all, it is also benefited. Even if it does not matter whether it is the name of the king or concubine, or the identity of Lin Cijing, the daughter of the prime minister Lin Fu, the guard will not dare to neglect, but he can't express it too deliberately. The guard could only be nervous, while carefully making up: "Half a month is too early, it took nearly a month to go before, I think the prince wants to see His Majesty earlier, and it is also when you return to Beijing..."

"I learned earlier that they have already arrived in Jiuyi, a short journey of half an hour, and you told me that they will go until dark?"

His tone suddenly became low, revealing an imperceptible coldness. The guard was startled, leaned over and pressed tightly against the ground, slowed down his breathing, and could clearly hear the pulsation in his chest.

There seemed to be a burst of cynicism from the top of the head, "You know, King Yingru hates me so much, if he really has that heart, you can take your head and hang it at the gate of the city tomorrow..."

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me, I know my mistake, and I shouldn't deceive you!" The guard was shocked, and immediately rinsed in cold sweat.

The emperor's voice suddenly slowed down, with a somewhat lazy tone, "Li Rongju..."

The guard kowtowed: "Slave, at..."

"Don't hurry up!"

The last sentence made me really angry, and obviously wanted to kill. Although Li Rongju didn't know why His Majesty was so angry, he clearly knew that if he delayed a moment longer, Zhou Lixiao would definitely kill him on the spot. head.

So he rolled out of the palace door in a panic.

A moment later, the water sandalwood incense in the copper furnace with staggered gold and silver chi patterns on the incense table had been burned out at some point, and the clouds and mist rose around the colorful cloud painting wall at the top of the hall, but the emperor's anger was still burning. Sheng, looking at the lacquer box on the table, the anger in his eyes seemed to turn into substance and penetrate the entire contents of the box!

Fingers with well-defined joints slowly caressed the thing next to the scriptures. It was a gold-plated copper seal in the shape of a chi tiger. This thing was exclusively for the crown prince. So, it is also a status symbol, it's a pity, it's a pity...

With a loud bang, Zhou Lixiao overturned the incense table and everything on it to the ground. Tears seemed to come out of his eyes, but it was just caused by the burning fire from the lamps and candles in the hall.

After all, he couldn't wait any longer, couldn't wait to take Xuanhuang's overthrowing action, he never thought that in the past, his subordinates had been merciful enough to foster chaos and help change for so many years, and this bastard was still ruthless!

Zhou Lixiao couldn't help but find it ridiculous. When the late emperor was in power, although the heir of the Zhou dynasty had not been officially appointed, but as the eldest son of the late emperor, he naturally followed the practice of the previous dynasties to establish elders instead of virtuous ones. Afterwards, he died of illness in Tantai. As the eldest son of the emperor, he naturally had to go to Tantai to pay tribute to his mother for three years.

It's a pity that the first emperor made no public appearances, but in the second year after he left Beijing, Zhou Huaiqi, the eldest son of Mrs. Rujie, was appointed as the crown prince. The Zhou Dynasty was originally a branch of Guo Rong in the west. Leaving aside the status of Rujie's son, he was the lowest slave in the Central Plains alone. This matter was unreasonable, but no one in the Zhou Dynasty objected.

Zhou Lixiao, as the royal family of Guo Rong and the eldest son of the late emperor, was robbed of the position of the crown prince for this, and forced to be imprisoned in Tantai for seven years. Kongzi obliterated to Qiongling.

At this point, the soldiers entered the country, joined forces with Guo Rong's old troops to take down more than 40 cities in the south, and broke through the Xixia Pass to take the capital. The lives of his relatives were killed in Qiongling, seeking to usurp the throne, robbing the class | seizing | power, threatening the old officials of the Zhou Dynasty to submit, murdering and mutilating, there must be no evil.

Eyebrows drooped, the anger in his eyes turned into a few clusters of light and shadows, and finally dimmed. The emperor, dressed in a dark black jade belt and gown, sat short on the jade steps, and reached out to pick up the fallen bronze seal. The pulp of the fingers rubbed against the bottom of the engraved seal with deep traces.

——"Fu Lin Ya Shi", these four words are the encouragement to the crown prince, but it is a pity that they are not for him. It is ridiculous that he, as the king of a country, has never even had a prince's seal in the end, and the world laughs He is a thief who seeks to usurp the throne, but how many people know that this thing originally belonged to him?

On a clear summer night, the dew in the atrium wets the corners of the clothes.

Tiankuang today, this festival was originally a folk activity, it was never popular in the palace, but today the maids of Qingluan Palace dipped in flour and sugar oil to make Poria cocos cake, picked lotus leaves and wrapped it, Zhou Lixiao took a piece after seeing the freshness Taste, the mouth is soft and delicate, he has always loved sweets, no matter how much he eats, he will not feel bored.

The courtyard was silent at night, with occasional insects chirping under the flowers not far away, and a cool breeze blew through the night, blowing a hasty voiceless sound.

As a native of Guo Rong, Zhou Lixiao was used to hunting horses since he was a child. He lived in wild mountains and jungles all year round. Sometimes in order to hunt prey, he would never let go of even a moment's trouble.

Guo Rongren has been sensitive to five senses since he was a child, and his hearing and eyesight are much better than ordinary people. At this time, a soft xun sound came out of nowhere, and the sound of the xun was weak, and he felt that the person blowing the xun must be a person with chest tightness and shortness of breath.

It's just that it was almost late at night, and there was someone wandering outside the palace wall in the middle of the night. Zhou Lixiao felt weird, so he tried to shout: "Who is bothering you here? Sleepless night disturbing people's dreams!"

It seemed that they heard Zhou Lixiao's shout, the sound of Yun stopped, and the door and wall were silent. After a while, a young man in brocade clothes walked out, holding an olive-shaped pottery xun in his hand.

There are two octagonal palace lanterns hanging on the gate, clearly illuminating the young man under the gate.

Zhou Lixiao raised his eyes and saw that the young man was wearing a dark green light long gown, with five-colored clouds in the front and back of his shoulders, smoked mink hanging from the sleeves, two blue satin ornaments around his waist, and a tufted crown made of ivory on his head. , the clothes are gorgeous and correct, and the appearance is also clear and handsome, but the facial features are not very delicate, so they don't look very outstanding.

It's just that when he opened his mouth, that clear and pleasant voice made his whole face radiant, revealing a bit of the willful and casual nature of a young man, "You haven't slept yet, so why should I talk about disturbing people's sleep?"

As he spoke, he stepped in and walked in, his steps were as smooth as clouds, safe and comfortable.

His handsome long eyebrows were frowned, and his eyebrows were angry. This Qingluan Palace was his mother's bedroom, and this man stepped in without knowing the etiquette. He hadn't been to the capital for a long time, and the people in this palace dared to Putting him aside, Zhou Lixiao hesitated a little when his eyes touched the adornment on the young man's waist, and said, "Who are you?"

The young man stood still in front of him, leaving a distance of more than a foot, bowed slightly and saluted, "My brother Zhou Huaiqi, I have seen brother Lixiao."

This salutation was really intimate, and he was a man soaked in molten iron, with a strong and vigorous character. Hearing this soft and gentle greeting, he felt uncomfortably goosebumps all over his body, just thinking of his father's knees He has many heirs, and he is the oldest. The younger siblings of this generation have been away for some time, and he has always been active outside the palace and rarely returns to Beijing, so it is inevitable that he has several relatives and brothers. Little is known, let alone the friendship between friendship.

However, he had heard his mother mention it before, saying that his father had been deeply in love with a Mrs. Rujie for these years, and that he had given birth to a prince. He made a pair of unicorns made of Hetian jade, implying peace and happiness. Now it seems that this person is in front of him. With a cold look, Zhou Lixiao said coldly: "How do you know who I am?"

Zhou Huaiqi smiled: "It was Madam Yuanshan who told me!"

Yuan Shan was the mother of the country at that time, the lord of the harem of the Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou Lixiao's biological mother.

Suspicious in my heart, I can't help feeling a little disgusted at the smiling face of this man in front of me. He has left Beijing alone since he was eight years old. He has been there several times in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The emperor was only busy dealing with the Han people in the harem all day long, and his father was also of Guo Rong's blood, but he didn't know why, his father always rejected things related to Guo Rong, including his mother and himself.

Seeing Zhou Lixiao's expression of disbelief, Zhou Huaiqi just smiled gently and said, "Brother, don't be suspicious. When you're not around, Madam Yuanshan can't sleep every night. Sometimes when she's lonely, I'll blow the xun to her outside the palace wall. She will praise her when she knows about it." I can blow the xun to my heart's content, so I promised her to blow the xun to her every night to accompany her to sleep!"

He spoke sincerely and confidently, but Zhou Lixiao couldn't believe it, so he said with disdain: "Why does the queen mother need you to blow the xun to accompany her to sleep, she is so weak, it sounds like a breathless person who whispered in life The sound is extremely ugly!"

Zhou Huaiqi smiled even more when she heard the words, without any sign of anger, she said sincerely: "From what you said, it seems that my brother knows the secret of this, why don't you teach me a thing or two?"

Zhou Huaiqi didn't bother to pay attention to him, she got up and flicked her sleeves and wanted to leave: "I'm not free, you can go!"

Who would have thought that the man stepped forward and grabbed his big sleeve, Zhou Lixiao waved his hand irritably, making it stronger, and knocked the man to the ground easily.

Zhou Huaiqi fell down and sat on the ground, the young man's clear eyebrows were full of mist, and she said pitifully: "If you don't teach me, why did you reach out and beat me, if I start to cry and make a fuss, Father will not forgive you! "

"You..." Zhou Lixiao turned around with an unbelievable expression on his face. He had never seen such a brazen person before, and he couldn't help being anxious for a moment, pointing at Zhou Huaiqi who was sitting on the ground and couldn't say a word.
