Tower Moon GL

Li Tang Dynasty, Xingtai ten years.The emperor is fatuous, his relatives are in chaos, and the rule of the dynasty is already in chaos.The government is corrupt, bureaucrats have been corrupted level by level, and it has reached the heads of the people. The harsh taxes have become unbearable, and natural disasters have been added, and starvation is everywhere.At this time, the flag of Southwest Righteousness was raised, and all places responded one after another. For a while, all places raised the banner of anti-Tang, and the rule of Li and Tang Dynasty collapsed in an instant.

Half a year later, a peasant uprising army broke through the capital, Emperor Xingtai committed suicide, and the Li Dynasty fell.

The leader of the peasant army who invaded the capital announced the change of dynasty and enthronement. The heroes from all over the country refused to accept it, and no one accepted the imperial edict. After only half a month, this army was wiped out by the army of Li Tang's former minister Zhu Shiqi. The old army, who claimed to be the General of the Fuguo, gained a firm foothold in the northwest area, watching the war-torn Jiangnan with cold eyes.

The most powerful of the various armies in the south of the Yangtze River are Yang Zhixiao's peasant army and Wu Meng's army, the old army of Li Tang.The flames of war raged, and the formerly prosperous Jiangnan area suffered from the war, and the beautiful West Lake in the old days was almost stained red with blood.Under successive years of wars, rich businessmen fled westward one after another, and Jiangnan's economy was completely destroyed.

Yang Zhixiao and Wu Meng fought for two years, winning and losing each other, but most of the peasant army under his command were illiterate peasants, who implemented a series of ridiculous policies on the occupied areas, and the local people were extremely dissatisfied.There are outstanding people in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many scholars who have read poetry and books. They were aroused by this barbaric army and encouraged the people to denounce. Although there is no army, it also caused Yang Zhixiao a headache. In a rage, he didn't want to entangle in Jiangnan anymore, so he sent his troops south, occupied the land of several states along the southeast coast, established himself as a holy king, changed Yuan Yuanlong, and set his capital in Fuzhou.

Yang Zhixiao and his generals are all called brothers. When they raised the army, they were older, and Yang Zhixiao was ranked second. When he became king in the southeast, he was looking at his brothers on that day. I met some heroes on the way, and at this time I rearranged the order. The other brothers except myself were all crowned the throne. Among them, Gu Zhiqian, the third brother, and Xu Zhao, the fifth brother who was new to the industry, and Xu Zhao, who was most trusted by him, were respectively named King of Letters. and King Mu.

Xu Zhaohe was originally an old minister of the Li Tang Dynasty. He was an official to the Jiedu envoy, and he was considered to have won the emperor's favor. But later, seeing the decay of the dynasty, he wanted to make some achievements, so he demoted Yang Zhixiao.Seeing that he was brave and resourceful, Yang Zhixiao entrusted him with great use. He became famous in the battle to the south and gained Yang Zhixiao's trust, so he also joined the ranks of that brother, was on the throne, and held great power.

In the second year of Yuanlong, July.

Recently, the city of Fuzhou has been very lively. Everyone in the city knows that Prince Mu is going to celebrate his birthday. The Holy King had a decree earlier, and the decree was clearly stated. This birthday of Prince Mu must be taken seriously, in order to commend Prince Mu's illustrious military exploits.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the gates of King Mu's Mansion were already closed to traffic. Most of the congratulatory gifts that arrived in the past few days were presented by generals from other places. Tomorrow is King Mu's birthday, so most of them arrived today.The majestic gates of Prince Mu's Mansion were crowded with officials of all sizes who came to give gifts. Xu Lai, the steward of the Palace, was directing people to check the gifts one by one before entering the mansion, and he was extremely busy.

"Wang Shaoxing, the prefect of Jinzhou, ten boxes of gold and silver, one hundred pieces of brocade, and ten dancers!"

A flash of disdain flashed in Xu Lai's eyes, and he waved his hand to ask people to count the gold, silver and brocade. Seeing a few small sedan chairs being carried over, he stepped forward and opened the curtain to take a look. Inside the sedan chair sat three A woman with a strong smell of rouge came out of her nostrils.Xu Lai chuckled and lowered the curtain.

"Master Xu, this is a small meaning, not a respect." The person who came to give the gift smiled and stuffed a small package.

"I know that you are filial." Xu Lai took the small bag with a smile on his face, and weighed it, "But Mr. Wang has become more and more confused recently, and this gift has no intention."

The gift giver hurriedly said: "Your Excellency knows that you have offended the prince last time, and the prince is so generous that you don't care about it. How could you not know it? This gift is carefully selected. Don't be disgusted by Master Xu. It's all about it." Already!" He pointed back as he spoke.

Only then did Xu Lai notice that there are four sedan chairs in total, if there are three people on one chair, there would be only one person on the fourth chair.Thinking of this, a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes again: "Your lord really put his heart into it, but whether this thought can be seen by the prince still depends on your luck."

"Thank you, Master Xu, for your reminder. Whether this gift suits the prince's wishes or not, we will know in a few days." The man smiled cunningly, Xu Lai didn't say any more, and asked someone to carry the sedan chair in.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, King Mu's birthday banquet.

Although it is not a big birthday, the Holy King made a decree on purpose, and everyone did not dare to be sloppy. Almost all the officials who could come came. Fortunately, when the Mu Wang Mansion was built, it did not care about money. Although the area is only the Holy King Palace It is half of the house, but it is also a big house covering an area of ​​several hundred acres, and there is enough space for a birthday banquet.

The bustling noise didn't gradually dissipate until late at night, the bustle disappeared, and the silence of the night was regained.And this silence has long been used to in the backyard of the palace.

"Sister, are you still awake?"

Sitting at the table, the woman in red withdrew her thoughts when she heard the sound, and replied softly: "I'll be going right away, you go to bed first."

"Sister, let's go to bed early. When the prince remembers tomorrow, he may be summoned again. Don't be too haggard."

"I know, let's go now." The woman sighed helplessly, got up and went out, it was already dark outside, and the door of the small courtyard could be vaguely seen to be still open, presumably the Anton people left in a hurry , Isn't it in a hurry, I left them in this dilapidated small courtyard yesterday, except for a lunch delivered at noon today, I almost forgot about them.Summoned?I'm afraid that the prince doesn't know their existence at all.

Sighing, she walked over, intending to close the door.

"Plop!" As soon as she got to the door, she heard a sound, which made her almost cry out. She squeezed into the small wooden door that she had closed by herself in a daze, and then locked the door.

"you!"

"Hush—" The person who came covered her mouth, put his ear on the door and listened carefully to the movement outside the door.

Although the woman was terrified in her heart, she did not dare to speak.Appearing in this remote place at this time, and being so cautious, if he is not from the mansion, who is it?Today is King Mu's birthday banquet, are you a guest from the house?Or... the person who came to assassinate King Mu?Thinking about it, the woman calmed down instead. She is not afraid, but since entering this mansion, her heart has died, assassination?What does the prince's death have to do with me?

The noise outside the door got closer and further away, and the hand covering his mouth was also let go.

"Phew, it's dangerous!" The man let out a long breath, and then he noticed that there was another person beside him, paused, and pulled her past to walk into the room.

There was still a candle burning in the room, the light was not strong, and the dim light reflected the appearance of the uninvited guest. It was not the masked man in night clothes as imagined, but a young boy with an immature face. Can't hook up with assassins.While the woman was looking at the young man, the young man looked her up and down several times, with amazement in his eyes.The girl in red in front of her is really amazing, no, maybe this word should not be used to describe her, her beauty is not ostentatious, but the red dress is too dazzling, maybe white or blue would suit her, Thinking of this, the boy opened his mouth.

"Sister, you are so beautiful."

The woman frowned, but soon let go. Although the words were not very polite, they could not be heard as offensive. The boy's clean eyes shone in the candlelight. He was just a child.I looked into the room, but there was no sound, and I thought the girl had fallen asleep.

"Who are you?" Although she let go of her guard, the woman's tone was still very serious. The identity of this person is definitely not simple when she barged in in the middle of the night.

"I'm Zhilou, sister, how about you?" The boy blinked, and her eyes were full of her shadow.

Asked his identity, but answered his name so briskly, really... The woman pursed her lips, and said after a long while: "I am Ji Niang."

"Ji Niang?" Zhilou tilted her head slightly, said the name a few times, then smiled, her eyes brightened, "My sister is not sincere, she didn't tell me her name."

"You and I don't know each other, so there's no need to say more, the night is already late, the little girl is about to rest, please go back." Ji Niang frowned, the person in front of her came from an unknown place, so she couldn't stay longer even if she had no malicious intentions. I am just an inconspicuous little character in this mansion, if someone sees me, I am afraid that trouble will be caused, and I am afraid that I will not even have the strength to struggle.

"It's Zhilou's fault, I surprised my sister. If that's the case, I'll come to my sister next time." Zhilou seemed a little regretful, but didn't say much, turned around and left the room, opened the wooden door carefully, and said nothing closed.

After staring at the wooden door for a long time, Ji Niang seemed to come back to her senses, everything just now was like a dream, the man broke in unsuspectingly.At this time, after everything was quiet, a very strange thought suddenly appeared in her mind, would that person appear again?

Thinking of the young man's clean and untainted eyes, there was a faint expectation in his heart.After thinking for a while, I laughed at my own worries, blew out the candles and went to rest.

The next day, when Mu Wang woke up from the wine, Xu Lai went to report with the ceremony book, and Mu Wang flipped through it hastily.When he turned to Wang Shaoxing's page, Mu Wang paused his hand and said with a sneer, "This Wang Shaoxing is really getting more and more ignorant!"

"Wang Shaoxing bumped into the prince some time ago, it is indeed a crime of death, and he must be careful not to do it this time. I saw those girls yesterday, and they are indeed quite pretty. Look, my lord—"

Xu Zhaohe looked up at him, and snorted coldly: "Is this king short of these servants? You can arrange it as you like."

After finishing speaking, I will not mention this matter again, and it is not easy to talk about it when Xu Lai sees him.
