The Dragon's Families of Mountains and Rivers

The ancient emperors searched for summer seedlings in spring, hunted in autumn and winter: they went out to the suburbs at four o'clock to show their power to the world.

Dayin went through several generations of turmoil, and Xuan Zhan came to the throne during the turmoil. Over the years, he devoted himself to quelling the turmoil inside and outside the court.

He is neither a man of pleasure, nor a master of extravagance and lust. The only person he cares about is far away in the northwest. His Majesty the Emperor has lived a life of pure heart and few desires these years.

Therefore, when Yu Chengzhong, Minister of Rites of Xinjin, received the order to prepare for the trip to Nanyuan, he was stunned for a quarter of an hour, and then hurriedly began to order to prepare for the trivial matters of this autumn, and the time was only half a month, Yu Chengzhong He was almost so busy that he hit the back of his head with his feet, and it was only with the assistance of Prime Minister Zuo and the Chief Steward of the Imperial Palace that he was able to take care of everything, and there were some omissions. In just half a month, he traveled dozens of times in the capital and Nanyuan, Two of the horses ran away and died.

In fact, it was not only he who felt awkward all over the court, but even Quan An, the chief executive who had served His Majesty the Emperor for more than ten years, was stunned for a while when he heard that His Majesty was coming to Nanyuan to hunt. If he didn't know the inside story, He thought that his master had suddenly changed his mind and changed his temper.

There is a palace in Nanyuan, with jade railings and vermilion lintels, double corridors and high eaves, five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings, extremely luxurious, but it was not built after Dayin Li Dynasty, but was built by Dayin a hundred years before the founding of the country In the chaotic and chaotic world, it was built by a foolish prince for his beloved concubine. The prince's concubine was originally born in the royal family of the previous dynasty. Desperate for extravagance, she wanted to hunt on a whim, so she pestered the princes and kings to set up a retreat for her.

The Xingyuan was set up, the hunting ground was surrounded, and such a magnificent palace was built in this Xingyuan.

Afterwards Gao Zu went to war, and when King Yun led the troops to attack the city, the princes and kings, together with his concubines and princes and ministers, hunted, played, sang and danced in the garden. One person resisted, after King Yun took down the city, he inquired carefully about the reason, and when he learned that the war was raging and the people were dying, the princes and kings even scraped three feet of land to build a hunting garden for his concubine. The soldiers in the city beheaded the princes and kings in the Xingyuan, his concubines, and his princes and ministers with dry wine bags and rice bags and fed them to the prey in the garden.

The softness in the palace was dissipated, leaving an empty courtyard and palace.Later Gaozu moved the capital, and this Xingyuan became the current Nanyuan. The palace was slightly repaired and made this Nanyuan Xinggong. However, the Xuan clan has not yet produced a king who is foolish and enjoys pleasure, except for the one who spent half his life fighting on horseback. Gao Zu and his ancestor King Yun often came here to hunt, so this palace has always been vacant.

Xuan Zhan knew that his own emperor and empress did not love this magnificent palace, so he ordered Quan An early on, not to tidy up the palace, but just like other ministers and soldiers, to find a higher ground and set up a tent, which is simple Some are okay, as long as they can provide shelter from wind and rain.

Although His Majesty the Emperor gave such instructions, how could Quan An dare to prepare a tent for His Majesty that was so crude that it could only shelter from the wind and rain?But the master ordered to be 'simple', and Quan An didn't dare to make his own claim, so he mobilized everyone to toss the huge emperor curtain, otherwise when the master came to investigate, he would not be able to cut off his head even if he had a head.

When Quan An conveyed His Majesty's will to Yu Chengzhong, Yu Chengzhong almost pulled the hair out of his head.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't live in the palace, but ordered him to live directly in a tent like the ministers and soldiers, and the tent should not be too simple to lose the royal dignity, and it should not be too extravagant to violate His Majesty's will. This is a difficult job for the Ministry of Rites!

After entering the paddock, one can see from a distance on a high ground far away from the royal road, the huge circular imperial curtain with a black background embroidered with golden dragons, with the imperial curtain as the center, the camps of the royal family, princes and ministers The arch guards are distributed in the width of the emperor's curtain, which is nearly ten feet wide, and there are soldiers' camps outside, which are stacked on top of each other, which is very spectacular.

Yun Yao marched and fought all year round, and nodded slightly to the arrangement of the tents, expressing his approval. The form of the emperor's hunting is greater than the fact itself. This person's status is precious, and his safety is extraordinary.

In comparison, Xuan Zhan frowned, this arrangement is more motivating than living in a palace.In this way, the fun of hunting is lost.

Those who rarely come out of the palace are probably going to be disappointed.

"Sorrow..." He tilted his head, wanting to comfort the people around him, "It's because I didn't think carefully, next time we will just drive out of the palace and find a wild place to hunt."

The emperor's hunting has always been more about the form than the fun. The hunting grounds are surrounded, and the prey is also raised in the enclosure. That's it. When hunting, there are people in front of you and people behind you.

Yun Ghou shook his head, "No problem, it's fine like this."

Compared to the pampered and pampered days in the palace, it was rare to come to this royal hunting ground to loosen up his muscles and bones. He was not disappointed at all, but judging by the look of this man, he seemed even more disappointed than him.

"In winter, let's find a place to go hunting for real?" Hearing what he said, Xuan Zhan felt more and more disappointed at the moment, and comforted him.

Hearing this, Yun Wei couldn't help laughing, "Then I hope Your Majesty will mean what you say, and don't think it's too cold to let me go out." It's only autumn, and this person started rambling about feeling that it was cold, afraid that he would be blown by the wind Now, it's going to be winter, and this person will allow him to go out to hunt?

Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor immediately frowned upon hearing his words.

Yun Ghou shook his head, he knew that this person was just talking, and that in winter, this person might not be allowed to go out, let alone go out to hunt.

Following the royal road, just two steps away, His Majesty the Emperor, who had struggled for a while, gently pulled the rein in his hand, led Qingyun slowly into the paddock, slightly ahead of the horse, cleared his throat, and With a dignified and solemn appearance, he said, "As long as you are not pregnant with the emperor's son, you will agree."

Regardless of the cold weather in winter, if you are pregnant, how can you talk about hunting?If there is a child, he must be detained in the Taiji Hall to raise the fetus.

Hearing the words, Yun Wei's white face turned red instantly. This man - glanced sideways at the red-faced man, His Majesty the Emperor was overjoyed immediately, and he didn't care that the Emperor was spying on him from behind. With the shocked gaze of the horse, he led it into the paddock by himself, and walked all the way to the guarded emperor's curtain.

When I got closer, I found that there was a wooden fence around the emperor's curtain, and outside the fence were the camps of the royal family and princes and ministers. disturbed the peace.

After getting off the horse, the emperor led the people directly into the Emperor's Curtain without hesitation, and everyone who arrived later had complicated expressions. Does this mean that they want to directly enter the Emperor's Curtain?But after thinking about it, this 'woman' in the palace lived in the Tai Chi Hall, and it seemed reasonable to follow His Majesty the Emperor to live in the Emperor's Curtain at this moment.

Zhang Qingyu had just watched the emperor and his people enter the imperial curtain, when he suddenly saw the carriage slowly parked on the left side of the emperor's curtain, his expression changed drastically, and he stepped forward in three steps at a time, and approached In front of the frame, just in time for the curtain of the carriage to open.

"Zhen'er..."

Concubine De's car frame fell behind Long Yu, but Concubine De, who was stricken by the wind and cold, lay in the car and fell asleep since she left the city. Shocked by the heavenly side, when she opened the curtain at this moment, she saw her father looking at her with a worried face. She subconsciously touched her not-so-rosy face, thinking that her father was worried about her body, and comforted her with a smile, "Father Don't worry, your daughter is fine."

Zhang Qingyu would be wrong, thinking that his daughter was pretending to be strong, he reached out to take his daughter's arm from Zhilan, and carefully helped her out of the car, "Zhen'er, Daddy never wanted you to shine , as long as you are well, father will not ask for anything." "Father..." Concubine De was a little surprised, she looked around and saw that all the princes and ministers were present, why did father not even avoid suspicion, and directly said these words?

Zhang Qingyu helped his beloved daughter out of the car, then handed her back to Zhilan, without further words, "Take your mother to the tent to wash and rest." Concubine De was a little surprised and puzzled, what happened to her father?

Although she is her beloved daughter, her status is different now. Although the power is emptied by the emperor, she is still an important minister of the court after all, and in front of everyone, Zhang Qingyu dare not go too far, so she can only give a hasty warning, I hope that my beloved daughter will not be so sad for that 'woman' and go to make tricks to fight for her favor.

Now, he knows this situation better than anyone else. His Majesty the Emperor has all his heart on that 'woman'. I'm afraid that no one can easily shake that woman's position in the Emperor's heart. ah!

Concubine De watched her father go away, turned around and asked in a low voice, "Zhilan, what happened on the way I fell asleep?" Otherwise, how could my father say these things for no reason?

Zhilan supported Concubine De, lowered her eyes and whispered, "Your Majesty brought that 'woman' to Nanyuan^" Concubine De was stunned for a moment, looking around, "Where's that person?" The 'woman' also accompanied her Have you come to Nanyuan?

Zhilan raised her eyes to see Concubine De's expression, "You have been brought into the imperial veil by His Majesty."

On the road before, when the 'woman' got on the horse, she took a look from a distance, but she didn't see it clearly, but the 'woman' seemed to be far from the rumors.

Concubine De frowned, and finally understood the reason for her father's worry, she couldn't help laughing, "Father is afraid that I will be blinded by jealousy, and rush to fight for favor?"

"Your Majesty..." Zhilan hesitated to speak.

Concubine De waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'm not so stupid."

Compete for favor?There is also a fight...
