Former Qin Fengyun

At the same time, the person who was as happy as Fu Jian was Wu Wang Murongchui who was in the country of Yan.Because today is his big day to marry Duan Qingning, the daughter of Duan Moting.After the two performed the three prostrations, Duan Qingning was sent to the bridal chamber.

Murong Chui's third brother, Taiyuan Wang Murong Ke and fourth brother Shangyong Wang Murong Ping raised their glasses and said: "Fifth brother, today is a day of great joy, brother should do first to respect."

Murong Chui immediately raised his glass and drank it.

Murong Ke smiled and said to Murong Chui: "Duan's Qingning is a well-known talented woman, and the son she will give birth to in the future will definitely be an extraordinary person."

Murong Chui blushed and said, "Third brother was joking."

Murong Ke said jokingly: "A handsome man of seven feet looks like a girl. Come on, continue to drink." Murong Ping beside him didn't speak, but just drank in silence.Looking at their smiling faces, I feel aggrieved in my heart.

After half a stick of incense, Murong Ping said to Murong Chui: "Fifth Brother, Fourth Brother is too weak to drink, so I will take my leave first."

Murong Chui hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, my younger brother will see you off."

Murong Ping shook his head and said: "Fifth brother is the bridegroom, please stay." Then he saluted Murong Ke and said: "Third brother, take your leave."

Murong Ke nodded slightly.Then Murong Ping turned and left.The careful Murong Chui said to Murong Ke: "Fourth Brother seems to be slightly displeased."

Murong Ke said disdainfully: "That's natural. My martial arts skills are far inferior to yours. Now that I marry a wife Duan, I will undoubtedly have two wings."

Murong Chui smiled and said, "Third brother, drink."

Murong Ke continued: "It's because of your good temper that he is so lawless."

But Murong Chui said: "After all, the first-milk compatriots" he didn't finish.

Murong Ke said: "You treat others like this, but how does he treat you?"

Murong Chui lowered his head and remained silent.

When Murong Ke saw this, he said to himself: "Today is the fifth younger brother's happy day, why do you talk about these unpleasant things." So he said: "In the future, the Duan family will give birth to a son, have you ever thought about what name you will give the son?"

Murong Chui raised his head and said, "It's too early for this matter."

Murong Ke said: "This is human nature."

After Murong Chui thought for a moment, he said, "Single-character order, Zi Daoquan."

Murong Ke nodded and said, "The name is good."

Murong Chui smiled when he saw the third brother who cared so much for him.

At the same time, after Shangyong King Murong Ping left the Wu Palace, he did not return directly to the palace, but went to the palace to see the Queen Kezuhun.

Empress Ke Zuhun saw that Murong Ping seemed displeased, so she asked, "I wonder what your fourth brother is worried about?"

Murong Ping sighed softly, and said: "I don't know the emperor's sister-in-law, but my younger brother is from Wu Wangfu."

Queen Kezuhun asked: "But you don't treat me well?"

Murong Ping shook his head and said: "My brother is very worried about the emperor's wife, full of worries."

Queen Kezuhun looked at him puzzled.

Murong Ping continued: "Murong Ke, the king of Taiyuan, holds great power, and Murong Chui, the king of Wu, has both civil and military skills. These two have a close relationship, and now the Duan family is a famous family, powerful enough to shake the lord. The dragon's body is sick, the crown prince is young, just in case" he didn't continue.

But Empress Kezuhun's face changed drastically, and she said anxiously: "Fourth brother, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Murong Pingmu said with a cold look: "Find the right time, one by one."

After Queen Ke Zuhun finished listening, she nodded frequently and said: "Thanks to the timely reminder of the fourth brother, everything will be arranged by the fourth brother."

Murong Ping nodded with a smile and said yes, but said in his heart: "Although the talent is not as good as yours, the power of the Yan Kingdom will eventually fall into my hands."

Half a month later, Empress Dowager Gou, Fu Jian, and Zhang Muzhen were sitting in Changle Palace, but Empress Gou's hissing and lung-piercing shouts could be heard from inside.While the palace people were busy, Meiren Zhao walked in from the outside and came to Fu Jian. She saluted and said, "Congratulations to the Heavenly King, Meiren Zhao of Huayang Palace has just become the next prince of the Heavenly King."

Fu Jian said happily: "Come here, I will reward the beauty with a thousand taels of silver, and give my son the name Pi and the title of Duke Changle."

After the Empress Dowager Gou listened, she shook her body, and then asked the palace: "The Ai family has never heard that Zhao Meiren is pregnant, how could she give birth to the prince?"

The palace servant saluted and said: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the beauty knows that her status is low, and she dare not disturb the harem by disturbing the public. She just asked the imperial doctor to prescribe some anti-pregnancy medicine."

At this time, Fu Jian asked: "Could it be that the mother suspects that this son is not the flesh and blood of my son?"

Empress Dowager Gou knew that her words were inappropriate, so she said with a smile: "Royal heirs, you should be cautious. Once Zhao Meiren gives birth to the eldest son, she is a minister of merit. Come, fetch the pair of blue sea night pearls from Aijia Palace to reward the beauty."

The palace people saluted and said it was time to go down.

But all these words were heard clearly by Gou Zhen'er inside, and she, who had some signs of dystocia, was bleeding profusely under the urgency.A midwife hurriedly came out in fright, saluted Fu Jian and Queen Mother Gou and said, "The Empress has collapsed from blood, and servants don't know how to protect the big and the young?"

Empress Dowager Gou fainted after hearing this, Zhang Muzhen and several palace servants hurriedly helped her to sit down.But Fu Jian immediately said: "Keep the queen!"

But when Gou Zhen'er heard it, she said to herself: "After a woman's blood collapses, even if her body is recuperated, she will never be able to conceive again." So she shouted: "The concubine has never asked the king of heaven. I just ask the Heavenly King to keep the child!"

Fu Jian originally wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of this son and pave the way for Zhang Muzhen's son to establish a reserve in the future, but Gou Zhen'er ignored his life in order to protect his own child, and he was in a dilemma.

While wiping the sweat off Queen Mother Gou's forehead, Zhang Muxie said to himself: "Even if Gou Zhen'er has no heirs, the Queen Mother will not pass on the crown prince to my future son, and life in the palace will be even more difficult in the future. Instead, It's better to let him give birth to this son once. If it is a princess, everything will be fine. If it is a prince, even though he will be crowned prince, but when the queen mother goes west in the future, it will be very clear who will die." Therefore, she walked in front of Fu Jian and said: "Heavenly King, Follow her."

Fu Jian looked at her in surprise.And Zhang Muzhen smiled and took Fu Jian's hand, and nodded slightly.Fu Jian understood what he meant, but the more Zhang Muzhen thought of himself in everything, the more he owed her.Zhang Muchai turned to the midwife and said, "Keep the baby." The midwife looked at Fu Jian suspiciously.Fu Jian nodded and said: "Go." The midwife then bowed and retreated.

Then, Fu Jian hugged Zhang Muyi with both hands, and said softly, "Muyi, Wenyu is sorry for you!"

Zhang Muzhen leaned into his arms and said softly: "If you please him, you will follow." But in his heart he said to himself: "Wenyu, even though you are very kind to me, but for the sake of our children in the future, don't blame me."

At the same time, the unscrupulous Queen Gou desperately gave birth.Suddenly, she yelled and passed out, followed by a baby crying.Empress Dowager Gou, who had been unconscious all this time, opened her eyes as if she had a feeling.

At this time, the midwife came out holding a baby wrapped in brocade, and she hadn't saluted yet.Empress Dowager Gou hurriedly asked, "Is it a man or a woman?"

The midwife replied, "It's a prince."

After Fu Jian and Zhang Muyi heard this, their hearts sank.But Empress Dowager Gou asked, "Is the queen all right?"

The midwife replied hesitantly: "The queen collapsed, although she saved her life, she is afraid that she will be too weak to leave the bed in the future."

Empress Dowager Gou ran into the house in horror. Seeing Empress Gou who was like a dead person, her heart ached so much that she walked to the edge of the bed and sat down with wet eyes. She gently touched her forehead with her hand and cried softly: "Zhen'er! Zhen'er!" !"

The weak Empress Gou slowly opened her eyes, seeing Empress Dowager Gou immediately asked angrily: "Child" she hadn't finished.

Empress Dowager Gou immediately said: "He is a prince."

Queen Gou smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, Fu Jian and Zhang Muchai walked in.Empress Dowager Gou looked at Fu Jian and said, "Heavenly King!"

Fu Jian looked at the ashen-faced Empress Gou, and then at the Empress Dowager Gou who was staring at him intently, so he frowned and said, "Give your son the name Hong, and make him the crown prince."

Empress Gou burst into tears of excitement, Empress Dowager Gou wiped her tears with her hands, and said with a smile: "After a tiring day, go to sleep." Empress Gou smiled and nodded.

Fu Jian said to Empress Dowager Gou: "Mother, I will send you back to the palace."

Queen Mother Gou shook her head and said, "Let's all step back."

Fu Jian and Zhang Muxie bowed and retired.And Queen Mother Gou couldn't help crying when she looked at Queen Gou who was sleeping peacefully.

Five months later, the Guanzhong region of Qin State suffered a century-old drought.

Fu Jian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, after listening to the views of the ministers, said: "There is a severe drought in the sky, and everyone should do their best to donate money for it. Therefore, starting from the widows, I told the harem to halve the meals immediately and cancel the song." Le, people in the palace should wear common clothes, and the salaries of your loved ones will be reduced by [-]%, all of which will be used to help the victims. In addition, immediately open warehouses to distribute food and reduce taxes."

All civil and military officials saluted in unison and said, "Heavenly King Shengming."

Although there was a severe drought, but due to Fu Jian's timely and timely measures, none of the people in Qin State starved to death on the street.

But Fu Jian's handling of the matter did not stop there. He ordered the government to recruit [-] rich and wealthy children and servants to the upper reaches of the Jingshui River, dig mountains, raise embankments, dredge ditches, and irrigate terraced fields.causing the fields to regenerate grain.Moreover, he also came to the outskirts of Chang'an, personally plowed the fields, and encouraged farmers to actively engage in agricultural production and silk weaving.

For a while, there was a scene of peace and tranquility in Qin State, where the family was satisfied.Therefore, the common people sang a song: "Chang'an Avenue, Yang Huai Cong Cage. Get off the luxury car, go up to the Luanfeng. Talented people gather to benefit our people."

When everything in Qin State was thriving, Murongchui in Yan State was about to face catastrophe.

On this day, Empress Kezuhun, who had just finished serving Emperor Murong Jun to take medicine, deliberately frowned with a sad face.Seeing this, Emperor Murong Jun asked, "Why is the Empress worried?"

Queen Kezuhun said hesitantly: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, it's better not to listen."

When she said this, Emperor Murong Jun became curious and said, "It's okay."

Empress Kezuhun nodded and said, "Yesterday, King Murong of Shangyong ran into Langzhong Ling Gaobi on the street, and saw that he was in a hurry, so I followed him secretly. I wanted to find out what happened. Who knows the result?" Empress Kezuhun deliberately did not say anything. go down.

Emperor Murong Jun asked anxiously: "How?"

Queen Kezuhun said: "He has a close relationship with a man named Qian Tong who is proficient in witchcraft. What he wants to do, I don't know?"

Because in ancient times, everyone was superstitious, so they were very afraid of witchcraft.Therefore, the emperor Murong Jun immediately sat up from the bed, and said angrily: "Come here, arrest Qian Tong immediately, and I will interrogate him myself!" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help coughing a few times.Empress Ke Zuhun was secretly happy while handing the tea to Emperor Murong Jun.

An hour later, several palace guards escorted Qian Tong to meet Emperor Murong Jun and Empress Kezuhun.After Qian Tong entered the hall, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, begging His Majesty for mercy.

Emperor Murong Jun said with a gloomy expression: "If you tell the truth, you will be spared!"

Qian Tong nodded frequently.

Emperor Murong Jun asked, "What is your plot with Gao Bi?"

Qian Tong replied: "The tall man ordered the villain to practice witchcraft and curse this man to death." He took out a piece of paper from his bosom.The palace servants took it with both hands and handed it over to Emperor Murong Jun.

After the emperor Murong Jun finished reading it, he coughed a few times in anger, and then shouted: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!"

Queen Kezuhun deliberately asked: "Your Majesty?"

Emperor Murong Jun handed the paper to Queen Kezuhun, only to see Emperor Murong Jun's birth date written on the paper.

Emperor Murong Jun, who was already furious with thunder, said loudly: "Gao Bi and Wu Wang Murong Chui have always been friends, can he participate in this matter?"

Qian Tong said: "The villain once heard Mr. Gao mention that this matter was approved by Princess Wu. As for whether the King of Wu knew about it, the villain dare not make a judgment."

The furious emperor Murong Jun immediately shouted: "Come here, hand over Mrs. Duan and Gao Bi to the empress and Wei Tingwei for strict interrogation!"

Empress Ke Zuhun was secretly happy, saluted and said: "The concubine complies with the order." Then, she got up and said: "Your Majesty, since Qian Tong has fully confessed, it is better to spare him from death, and it will also show that His Majesty has clear rewards and punishments."

Emperor Murong Jun glanced at Qian Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Whip this man three hundred times and drive him out of Ye City!"

Just as Qian Tong was about to ask for a reduction in the punishment, Empress Ke Zuhun gave him a sharp look, which frightened Qian Tong so that he didn't dare to make a sound, and was taken away by the guards on both sides.

Empress Kezuhun saluted Emperor Murong Jun and said, "Your Majesty, it is inevitable that something will happen to the King of Wu, so the concubine will invite the concubine in person."

The pale emperor Murong Jun nodded.

At the same time, King Wu Murong, who was holding the eldest son Murong Ling and the second son Murong Bao in his left hand in the palace of King Wu, smiled and said to Princess Duan Qingning who was lying on the bed: "Qingning, you are the first-class hero. It's twins. In a few days, Bao'er will be full moon, so we have to celebrate it."

Duan Qingning said with a smile; "Everything is up to the prince."

At this time, Murong Chui felt that there was no better happiness in life than this.

At this moment, the servant entered the house, saluted and said: "I report to the lord. The princess. The empress is here."

Murong Chui was very surprised, but Duan Qingning who was sitting on the bed got up immediately and said: "My lord, I will go pick you up with you."

Murong Chui shook his head and said: "The body is still not healed, it's still" he didn't finish.

But Duan Qingning said: "Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come. What's more, men and women are different, and it's easy to get around with ministers and concubines."

Murong Chui nodded.

When the phoenix sedan chair landed firmly in front of the gate of King Wu's mansion, Murongchui and Duan Qingning had already knelt on the ground.But when Wu Wang Murong Chui saw two hundred soldiers in armor standing behind the phoenix sedan chair, he knew that something big was going to happen, so he raised his vigilance.

Empress Ke Zuhun walked out of the sedan chair, but did not let everyone lie down, she walked up to King Wu Murongchui and Duan Qingning, and said loudly: "His Majesty's order is to invite Princess Duan to enter the palace to investigate the case."

Wu Wang Murongchui immediately looked up at Queen Kezuhun.But Empress Ke Zuhun said disdainfully: "Gao Bi colluded with the warlocks and wanted to harm His Majesty, and the mastermind behind it was Duan." After speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and all the soldiers behind him came over.

At this time, Wu Wang Murong Chui immediately stood up, stood in front of Duan Qingning and shouted: "Who dares?"

Empress Ke Zuhun shouted angrily: "Murong Chui, can't you rebel?"

Duan Qingning, who is ice-snow and smart, sees through the whole thing.She walked in front of King Wu Murong Chui, and said softly: "Your Majesty, since His Majesty ordered you to enter the palace."

But Wu Wang Murong Chui shook his head again and again and said: "No! This trip is more dangerous than good, besides!" He didn't finish speaking.

But Duan Qingning immediately said: "Ling'er Bao'er is still waiting for Lord Hou in the mansion."

Wu Wang Murongchui understood the meaning of this remark, and indicated that he should not have any conflict with Empress Kezuhun. Although entering the palace this time is dangerous, it can guarantee the safety of father and son.Seeing such a virtuous and loving Wu Wang Murong Chui, he said with moist eyes: "Qing Ning!"

But Duan Qingning smiled gently and said: "It's clear in my heart, don't ask questions." Then he turned around and said to Queen Kezuhun: "Your Majesty, please."

Queen Kezuhun left with Duan Qingning triumphantly and with a smile, leaving behind Wu Wang Murongchui who was secretly sad.

After Duan Qingning was brought to Changqiu Palace, Ruyi, the court lady in charge of Empress Kezuhun, brought a dozen eunuchs to Duan Qingning's side.And Empress Kezuhun who was sitting on it said sharply: "Speak."

Duan Qingning replied: "There is nothing in the world, where do we start?"

Empress Ke Zuhun slapped the table angrily, and said, "I'm sure you'll be sure, but you're not welcome! Ruyi!"

Comprehending, Ruyi took out dozens of silver needles from her bosom, while the other eunuchs pressed Duan Qingning firmly to the ground.

Duan Qingning shouted: "I am Princess Wu, how dare you use lynching!"

Queen Ke Zuhun smiled slightly, and turned her face to the side.But Ruyi said with a ferocious face: "Your maidservant will definitely serve the concubine well!" As she said that, she knelt down and inserted the silver needles in her hand into Duan Qingning's fingers one by one.Duan Qingning was so painful that he yelled and yelled, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.

At this time, Queen Kezuhun said softly: "Stop!"

Ruyi stopped and stood aside.Duan Qingning, whose hair was disheveled and in agony, turned pale, and said with trembling lips, "So what if it's heart-wrenching? How can you admit that something happened out of nothing?"

Empress Kezuhun said angrily, "Continue to torture!"

Poor and frail Duan Qingning gritted his teeth and refused to utter a word in such a desperate situation.Empress Hun was so angry that she got up and came to Duan Qingning, pulled her hair with her hands, and said viciously: "This way you can protect your husband and young son? If you don't say anything else, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will execute you and then forge a confession! "

Duan Qingning said to herself: "Don't follow her wish, even if she dies, everyone should be saved." So she raised her head and asked: "If I confess, can I save the Duan family in the palace?"

Seeing her let go, Queen Ke Zuhun said happily, "That's natural."

Duan Qingning bit her lip lightly, and then said: "This matter is very serious, and should be done before His Majesty."

Queen Kezuhun nodded with a smile and said, "That's very good."

Emperor Murong Jun lying on the hospital bed suddenly saw Empress Kezuhun walking in with Duan Qingning supported by two court ladies, before everyone saluted.Emperor Murong Jun immediately stood up and asked, "What was the result?"

Empress Kezuhun saluted and said: "Leave everything to the princess, the ins and outs of this matter."

Emperor Murong Jun said coldly: "Speak!"

Duan Qingning said angrily: "The concubine is weak and unable to dictate."

Emperor Murong Jun said to the palace people: "Bring paper and ink."

Not long after, the palace servants placed the paper and ink in front of Duan Qingning.I saw her kneeling on the ground, without using a pen or ink, but biting her own finger, quickly wrote a few lines with blood and handed it to the maid beside her.

When the maid handed the paper to the emperor Murong Jun, Duan Qingning suddenly stood up and ran towards the pillar next to him, shouting, "I'm wronged!" .

Everyone present was amazed, Emperor Murong Jun quickly snatched the paper from the hand of the maid, and saw that it read: "The severe winter puts everything to sleep, and the howling north wind disturbs the sky. Only the cold plum blossoms, even if it blows down, it will prove true." "[The author of this poem is original, if there is something wrong, please forgive me] He glared at Queen Kezuhun, and said: "How dare you make false rumors!"

Empress Ke Zuhun was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, appease your anger. The ministers and concubines also have reasons for doing this. Your Majesty's dragon body is weak and he will ignore the government for a long time, and the prince is young, and Taiyuan King Murong Ke and Wu King Murong Chui The relationship is not superficial." She didn't go on.

After the emperor Murong Jun listened, he sighed lightly and said, "The empress is worried, and I am very relieved. Please get up."

Empress Ke Zuhun thanked her and stood up, just about to speak.But Emperor Murong Jun said first: "Let's leave this matter alone, I order King Wu to leave Yecheng immediately and go to Pingzhou to be the governor."

Empress Kezuhun immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is inevitable to let the tiger go back to the mountain. The concubine is willing to marry the younger sister to the King of Wu as an eyeliner."

Although Emperor Murong Jun knew that this method was very good, but after all Kezuhunrong is the queen's younger sister, he said hesitantly: "This"

But Empress Kezuhun said: "In order to protect the foundation of the Yan Kingdom for thousands of years, it is imperative for the ministers and concubines."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Murong Jun was quite moved and said, "It is a blessing in my life to have such a queen."

Empress Ke Zuhun smiled happily and said: "Sharing your majesty's worries is a matter of the ministers and concubines. What's the point? But the ministers and concubines are ignorant, and I am afraid they will not be perfect. Therefore, I implore your majesty to let Shangyong Wang Murong appraise and help the ministers and concubines." .”

Emperor Murong Jun nodded.

Empress Ke Zuhun thanked her and stood up, and said to the maid Ruyi next to her, "Put Princess Duan in the coffin and send it back to King Wu's palace."

At this moment, a palace official came in, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Wu Ting asked to see you."

Emperor Murong Jun said softly: "Xuan!"

The palace people saluted and said it was time to go down.

After a while, Wu Tingwei came in, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, in order to investigate the case, I have punished Gao Bi. But he kept calling for injustice and did not confess for a long time. Perhaps he is weak and has passed out. Wake up. That’s why I’m here to ask His Majesty to clarify.”

Although Emperor Murong Jun knew that this fact was fabricated by the empress, but for the sake of Prince Murong Gong, he said: "Let him go to Pingzhou with King Wu."

Wu Tingwei saluted and said yes to go down.

But Empress Kezuhun looked at Emperor Murong Jun and smiled.
