Baishou loses Shaohua

Yu Chongxiu can't remember Xiao Shi's appearance anymore, but there is a vague shadow in his memory, and he seems to be very gentle when he smiles.The woman's life and traces were easily erased by him, leaving only the youngest son who was connected by blood.Maybe God really thought that his practice of leaving his mother and keeping his son was unacceptable, so he let Yu Chenglin know the truth of all this by accident.The only youngest son he thought was willing to get close to him was actually dormant by his side for so many years with hatred.Maybe it's because he's really old. Although he was very sad when he lost his eldest son, he didn't feel the suffocation. But now he can't bear it every time he thinks of his eldest son who was too late to grow up, and the third son who died tragically in prison. , Now Yu Chenglin's accusation against him is even more difficult for him to face.

He vaguely remembered that Empress Zhou, who was the general's wife back then, cried and told him that he would regret it one day when she failed to stop the matter.At that time, he didn't take it seriously at all, but today he really understood the feeling called regret.

He thought that if he listened to Xiao Shi's words and gave up sex, maybe everything would be different today.

Aging made him no longer the high-spirited and brave general he used to be. The imperial power he seized with iron and blood now seems to be covered with the blood of his loved ones.

"I'm sorry... Lin'er..." He sincerely apologized to his youngest son.

Yu Chenglin was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing, which made his face with teardrops look extra weird: "Father, is it useful to be sorry? I'm sorry...can you make Erchen's mother and concubine come back to life? "

He laughed enough, and took a few deep breaths to calm down his tone: "Father, do you know that in the six years since I knew all this, I have been looking forward to growing up every day. Because I know that only Only when he grows up will he be able to fight against you, and only then will he be able to seek an explanation for his mother and concubine."

"Father, do you know how the servants in the palace think about your son? Do you know how your empresses with prominent families think about your son? When I was young, my son always wondered why they treated my second brother differently from my son. , even the third elder brother who doesn't like to talk is respectful, but he doesn't even bother to say a few words of compliments to Erchen, let alone amuse me. Later I realized that they are afraid. Because Erchen's The concubine mother is a woman rejected by the father, so they are afraid that if they get too close to the son-in-law, the father will be displeased. If it weren't for the mother-in-law and Concubine Liu's mother-in-law treating the son-in-law well, the days in the harem would be so long. Difficult." Yu Chenglin smiled again, proud and contemptuous, "But it's okay, it won't be difficult in the future. Even if they are afraid in the future, they will be afraid of Yu Chenglin himself, not you, the father behind the son. "

"You... want the throne!" Only then did Emperor Chongde realize that Yu Chenglin's ambition and courage were far greater than it seemed.

"Yes, I want the throne." Yu Chenglin said decisively, "I want everyone to be respectful and fearful to me, I want everyone to submit to me, I want everyone...not to dare to despise me anymore .”

He smiled gently at Emperor Chongde, with some kind of beautiful yearning: "All this, only the throne can give me."

"Don't forget... your second brother is the crown prince. Even if I die... the throne is not your turn..." After experiencing ups and downs of emotions, Emperor Chongde began to feel tired, and his eyes closed involuntarily When he got up, only a fairly clear train of thought remained to support him.

"I don't need to worry about this." Yu Chenglin's tone was somewhat determined, "The second brother has Lin Xiaolin Pu, and the son has Zhang Zheng. The second brother has Zhou Shengshen and Shadow, and the son has the leader Ji. If you want When soldiers meet, your ministers may not necessarily lose."

"You!" Emperor Chongde, who was already so drowsy that he was about to fall asleep, was in a hurry. He opened his eyes suddenly, but there were bursts of black shadows in front of him. His sallow face turned purple in the candlelight.

"Father doesn't need to worry about his children anymore." Yu Chenglin smiled faintly, his voice was soft but cut through Emperor Chongde's heart like a knife, "Father is old."

For a person standing at the top of power, there is nothing more taboo and hate than the word "old". "Old" not only represents the decline of the body, but also the loss of rights.Such a disrespectful word, Yu Chenglin clearly threw it in front of his father.

Emperor Chongde is indeed old, so old that he can no longer do anything about Yu Chenglin's actions, and so old that as long as he has a little more energy, his already fragile life will end.

"It's just that under the nine springs, I hope that the father will say 'sorry' to the third brother on behalf of the son. After a hundred years, the son will definitely come to him to plead guilty."

After Yu Chenglin finished speaking, he saw Emperor Chongde's eyes widen as he expected, and his fingers were grabbing the bedsheets under him indiscriminately. His teeth were chattering, but But he couldn't say a word.

"I have no choice but to do this. If the third brother is alive, how can it be my turn to take the throne after a hundred years?" Yu Chenglin looked coldly at Emperor Chongde on the bed, and then sighed with regret, " It's a pity that I didn't expect that the second brother would come back again."

"Ni... son..." Emperor Chongde uttered the last two words with all his strength, followed by his chest heaving violently a few times, his face quickly turned gray, and the last light in his eyes was as if he had been swept by a strong wind. The candle flickered a few times and went out.

Everything is at peace.

Needle drop could be heard in the room.

After about a stick of incense, Yu Chenglin who was standing in front of the bed fell to his knees with a "plop".

"Father, father, loving son, filial piety, brotherhood and brotherhood are the royal luxury's hope. Only the dragon chair is the only guarantee. If my son and minister don't want to become fish one day, then they can only become Daozu." He kowtowed deeply. Put three heads down, "Father, it's a good journey."

Yu Chenglin stood up and straightened his clothes and walked towards Ji Yinghan: "Let's go, we have to leave the city before the curfew."

Ji Yinghan nodded and walked ahead, so he didn't see the tears streaming down Yu Chenglin's face behind him.

Ji Yinghan's mood was indescribably complicated. He didn't have the joy or pleasure of getting revenge. I don't know if it was because he never touched Emperor Chongde's finger or because this long-lasting hatred had become his. Habits, just like his previous killing missions, there is no joy to speak of after completing them, only a sense of loss.

The moment the curfew bell rang, Ji Yinghan and Yu Chenglin rode two fast horses out of Li'an City at the sound of the bell.So he didn't see the figure of Yu Chenglie kneeling hastily when facing the cold body of Emperor Chongde an hour later, and the cold and murderous hatred in his eyes.

The author has something to say: Uncle Yu took the bento...

====================================================================== ===============================

It will be my birthday in three hours, but just three hours ago, I came across a fact that I didn't want to believe or accept, but I couldn't change it, and I cried all the way back until my eyes were swollen.I have been tortured physically and mentally by all kinds of things in recent months. Only in this story can I forget some worries and pains.So no matter how many people are reading this story, I will give it an ending, because when I write word by word to this day, it is like watching my child grow from a toddler to a young man, even if he is not so good, even if He has a lot of flaws and I still love him.

Thank you to anyone who witnessed his growth, I hope you can like him.

☆, Fanwai: See you for the first time suddenly? Emperor Chongde

In the life of Chongde Emperor Yu Chongxiu, the best plum blossom he had seen was in the backyard of Chu Weizheng's home in the twelfth lunar month of the 23rd year of Huai'an in Huaizhou.

At that time, Yu Chongxiu was only 17 years old, but he was the youngest third-rank general in the entire Huaizhou Dynasty.Of course, part of the reason is that he was born in a family of military generals. From his great-grandfather to his elder brothers, the Yu clan all died fighting for the Huai Zhou Dynasty.But the most important thing for him to worship a third-rank general at such an age is naturally his bravery and skill in leading troops like a god, so that because of his crazy appearance on the battlefield, several of his father's close friends often persuaded him in private, saying Yu Now there is only his son left in the family, so there must be no mistakes before leaving blood for the Yu family.

Every time Yu Chongxiu heard the kind advice from these uncles, he nodded and agreed with a smile, but he still went his own way on the battlefield.And one of these uncles who are always nagging at him is Chu Weizheng, the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of War.

Although Yu Chongxiu's father is a military general, he strictly abides by the traditional cultural etiquette. When General Yu was still alive, he followed an unwritten rule. Elders and friends.After his father and elder brothers passed away, this tradition became only Yu Chongxiu's insistence.

Yu Chongxiu still remembers that day was the day before Xiaonian, the Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year, and the day of Xiaonian is the curtain of the Spring Festival.That day he deliberately picked the time after the court to come to visit in the morning. There was no other reason. Everyone knew that Yu Chongxiu would go to the military camp to inspect the military camp at three poles in the morning. Then he would have a reason to leave. He was unruly on the battlefield. I'm used to it, and it's inevitable that I feel uncomfortable in front of these uncles.

However, that day made him unlucky. Chu Weizheng was left in the palace by Emperor Huai'an early in the court. Afterwards, it was heard that Chu Weiqing and the prince sneaked out of the palace to accompany his 14-year-old son, the prince. matter.

On that day, Yu Chongxiu waited in the front hall of the Chu Mansion for half an hour, but Chu Weizheng did not return for a long time.

It was still dark when he went out in the morning, Mrs. Yu specially sent her personal maid to guard the door of Yu Chongxiu's house, forcing him to add a thick cotton padded coat.Yu Chongxiu is used to galloping on the battlefield, and he is afraid of the heat but not the cold. He already felt hot when he went to court in the morning, and now the sun is rising higher and higher, beads of sweat on his forehead are dripping down.But helplessly, there was absolutely no reason to undress in other people's homes, so he got up and pushed open the carved wooden window facing the back of the main hall.

In the next thirty years of his life, Yu Chongxiu often dreamed of that day, of the scenery he saw after opening the window.

Red plums vying for pistils are piled up on the branches, and the cinnabar-colored petals seem to be carved out of red jade to wrap the tender yellow stamen buds. Under the sunshine, they are shiny and transparent, gorgeous but not coquettish. Not flattering, has its own strength of character.Looking at the past, it seems endless like smoke and mist. When the wind blows gently, the quiet and cold fragrance is intoxicating.

"The general likes plum blossoms?" The old housekeeper in the mansion felt that his master had kept the guests waiting for too long, so he had to bite the bullet and come to accompany him first, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Chongxiu fascinated by the plum blossoms in the backyard outside the window Looks drunk.

Yu Chongxiu turned around and saw that it was the old housekeeper, and he didn't put on airs. He nodded with a smile and said, "Plum blossoms are beautiful and strong."

The old housekeeper said: "My master loves plum blossoms among all kinds of flowers. The red plums in this yard were planted by the master himself in the year when Miss was born."

Yu Chongxiu praised: "Uncle Chu's elegance is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"If the general likes it, why don't you go to the backyard for a walk." The old housekeeper bowed, "The master... I don't know when I will be back, and it is inconvenient for the old servant to send someone to remind me about the affairs in the palace."

"Don't mind the old housekeeper. I'm a junior, so there's no reason to urge the elders." Yu Chongxiu looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and said happily, "Thank you for the kindness of the old housekeeper, I will take the liberty to disturb you."

"Where is the general?" The old butler stretched out his hand to lead the way, "Please."

Walking into this flaming plum garden is really like entering a fairyland on earth.Yu Chongxiu thought to himself that if a snowfall could fall at this time, it would be even more beautiful.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, the treetops shook, and a white veil fell to his feet.

Yu Chongxiu bent down to pick it up, and when he unfolded it, he found that it was originally a plain handkerchief, but at this moment, a branch of plum blossom was drawn on the handkerchief, and the branch was decorated with a few unopened flower bones, which were round, lovely and lifelike.

Next to the painting is a song "Green Willow Shoots".

"Gradually youthful, trying to find Hongyu, after years of separation. Before Xiao Lifeng, I suddenly saw each other for the first time, and the love was like acquaintance. I just want to be mad for Iraq, but I still hold myself and cherish my heart. Pass it on to Dongjun, beg for mercy and sorrow, don't It needs to be tightened."

Yu Chongxiu took a few steps towards the direction where the veil was floating, only to realize that he had unknowingly walked through the entire plum grove to the family's residence behind the Chu Mansion.Consciously taking the liberty, Yu Chongxiu hurriedly planned to return to the front hall, but before he could turn around, a door behind him was pulled open with a "squeak".

The girl was dressed in a light blue dress, most of her long black hair was tied into a bun on the left side by two white jade hairpins, and the rest hung down her slender waist.Although the young girl's face was still a bit immature, it made the plum blossoms in the courtyard suddenly lose their color.

The girl obviously didn't expect that there was a stranger standing outside her room door, she was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyes to look over.Her eyes were as moist and gentle as two clear springs, and she slowly looked over with a little shyness towards strangers.Yu Chongxiu felt his heart beating extra fast, he had never felt this way when facing the fiercest enemy on the battlefield, he was unable to move as if he had been stabbed.

"Excuse me..." the girl said, her voice was as clear and gentle as a trickling stream.

Only then did Yu Chongxiu realize that the girl's gaze was fixed on the square handkerchief in his hand. He raised his head slightly and saw that the upstairs window was open. Then he realized that the girl was the owner of the handkerchief. There is a firm guess about the girl's identity.

"My lord, Yu Chongxiu." Yu Chongxiu saluted, "If you take the liberty of disturbing Miss, please also invite Haihan."

"I've seen General Yu." The girl replied generously.

"Miss... I know?" Yu Chongxiu felt quite flattered.

"Mo Chang heard my father mention it." The girl replied.

Sure enough, this girl is Chu Weizheng's favorite, Chu Moshang, who is fifteen years old, and is a beauty with both talent and appearance that is well-known far and near from Ancheng.Every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, people from Ancheng go to Qiwu Temple outside the city to burn incense and worship Buddha. Talented people can almost crush the threshold of Qiwu Temple.What is even more valuable is that although Chu Moshang is a girl, her talent is almost the same as that of her younger brother Chu Weiqing who is accompanying the prince. It was amazing that no flaws were seen in the hands.

Yu Chongxiu has always thought that such a strange woman is just a legend, exaggerated and exaggerated, but he did not expect that it really existed.

Yu Chongxiu finally calmed down, and he handed over the handkerchief in his hands: "This handkerchief should belong to Miss."

"Thank you, General." Chu Moshang took the handkerchief, bowed politely, with dignified and elegant gestures.

"Ms. Yang Buzhi's "Four Plum Blossoms" is so talented." Yu Chongxiu praised.

"The general praised you absurdly, but it's nothing more than an imitation." Chu Moshang smiled, reserved and restrained.

Just as Yu Chongxiu was about to speak again, footsteps came from behind him, and when he turned around, Chu Weizheng was walking towards him.

"I kept my nephew waiting for so long." Chu Weizheng stepped forward apologetically.

"No, it's just that Chongxiu was out of luck." Yu Chongxiu bowed to Chu Weizheng.

"Daddy." Chu Moshang saluted Chu Weizheng.

"Moshang, you go to the study and watch Weiqing, and don't let him eat until you finish copying the family instructions ten times." Chu Weizheng ordered Chu Moshang solemnly.

"Yes, Daddy." Chu Moshang bowed and left.

"The child is too naughty, and he always needs to be strictly disciplined. My nephew will laugh at me." Chu Weizheng smiled apologetically, "Please come forward, my nephew."

"Where, Mr. Chu is still young, so it's normal to be naughty." Yu Chongxiu replied, he took his eyes away from Chu Moshang, and followed Chu Weizheng to the front hall.

From that day on, Chu Moshang's eyebrows and eyes were imprinted in Yu Chongxiu's heart, and the wind and rain never faded away.

In the last few years of Emperor Huai'an's reign, the world was peaceful and there was no war.In addition to training troops on time and handling military camp affairs, Yu Chongxiu has become a frequent visitor to the Chu Mansion. Chu Weizheng also likes this nephew who often comes to chat and play chess. Like half a son.In this way, Yu Chongxiu also quickly became acquainted with Chu Weizheng's sons and daughters.

"Brother Yu, you're here." Chu Moshang stood up in front of the guqin. Three years had made Chu Moshang, who was famous in Dongli'an back then, even more graceful.

"I heard the sound of the piano from a distance, so I knew it was you." Yu Chongxiu laughed.

"When you hear the sound of the piano, you know it's me. Why doesn't Brother Yu think it's Weiqing?" Chu Moshang smiled and walked out of the octagonal pavilion.In August, the small pond behind the gazebo bloomed with white and white lotus flowers, and there were red koi swimming under the lotus leaves.

"You are different from Weiqing's piano sound." Yu Chongxiu said softly, his mighty majesty on the battlefield turned into tenderness in front of Chu Moshang.

"Brother Yu has good ears. Even my father can't tell the difference between Weiqing's piano and me."

Yu Chongxiu smiled. Naturally, he would not tell Chu Moshang, because she was special to him, so her piano sound was also special to him, and he could hear it naturally.

Yu Chongxiu changed the subject and asked, "Speaking of... I haven't seen Weiqing for a long time."

"Weiqing has been in the palace these days, and hasn't been home for a long time."

"So that's the case." Yu Chongxiu looked at Chu Moshang and nodded casually.

Now that Chu Moshang has reached his full age, the people who came to propose marriage as early as two years ago broke many thresholds of the Chu family, but Chu Wei didn't even pick a single one.Yu Chongxiu has been watching silently all the time. He thought that instead of proposing a marriage, he would get along with the Chu family slowly. Knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle.Now the Chu family almost treats him as a family, and it is the time he thinks is suitable. These days, he is thinking about waiting for his mother's birthday next month to talk to her about coming to the Chu mansion to propose marriage.In the past two years, his mother has also frequently urged him to start a family, and he is confident that Chu Moshang, the daughter-in-law's mother, will be satisfied.

Yu Chongxiu planned contentedly, thinking that all this would soon become a reality, but he didn't expect that a death knell shattered his dream that he had been waiting for for three years.

On that day, Yu Chongxiu and Chu Wei were sitting in the study of the Chu Mansion and playing chess. Suddenly, a decree was hurriedly ordered all the ministers to enter the palace. At the moment of Chongque Hall, the death knell of Emperor Huai'an's death was heard.

Civil and military officials fell to their knees, and the cries from the inner courtyard of the palace shook the world.

Emperor Huaian died.

Prince Ji Yunyi ascended the throne, and proposed the year name Huaxuan.

The officials and people in Li'an City have observed filial piety for three years, and during this period, weddings and other happy events are not allowed.

☆, Fanwai: See you for the first time suddenly? Emperor Chongde

Less than a month after Emperor Huaxuan ascended the throne, the foreign tribe Yuehe on the northern border began to invade aggressively, trying to take advantage of Huaizhou when the new emperor had just ascended the throne and everything was not yet stable.Emperor Huaxuan, who was only 19 years old, made a decisive decision and sent Yu Chongxiu to lead an army of [-] to stop the attack. He also sent several envoys to the other small countries around Huaizhou secretly at the same time, using both grace and power.

The day before the expedition, Yu Chongxiu made a special trip to the Chu Mansion.

"I heard from Dad that Brother Yu is going to lead the army." Chu Moshang asked Yu Chongxiu in the back garden of the Chu Mansion, with a trace of worry on his brows.

"Yes. The Yuehe tribe invaded, and His Majesty sent me to lead the army." Yu Chongxiu was still smiling. He is a general, and fighting on the battlefield is what a general should do. , Soldiers will also lose their spirit."

"Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, brother Yu must be careful." Chu Moshang urged.

"Don't worry." Yu Chongxiu felt warm because of Chu Moshang's words, "My Huaizhou army of [-] troops is more than enough to take down a small Yuehe tribe. I will be back soon."

"So Moshang and the people in Li'an are waiting for the good news of Brother Yu's triumphant return." Chu Moshang smiled reassuringly, "It's a pity that Moshang is not a man, otherwise we must fight with Brother Yu on the battlefield."

Chu Moshang's words really surprised Yu Chongxiu, he thought for a while and said, "How about this, I don't know if you have something like a handkerchief to me, Moshang, I will tie it to the hilt of the sword and take it to the battlefield. "

Chu Moshang was taken aback by Yu Chongxiu's words.

However, Chu Moshang hadn't had time to taste the distinctive meaning in Yu Chongxiu's words in the future, and Yu Chongxiu also felt that his words were really presumptuous, so he couldn't help but "thump" in his heart.

"I'm taking the liberty. How can you give away a girl's stuff casually? Brother Yu is a rough man. I hope Mo Shang doesn't mind." Yu Chongxiu said hastily.

After hearing this, Chu Moshang smiled slowly: "Brother Yu is serious. Why don't you and my brother and sister?" Then he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Chongxiu, "I wonder if this can be done?"

Yu Chongxiu took it and took a look. It was nothing but the one he picked up back then. Although the veil was a bit old, the paintings and words on it were still moving.Yu Chongxiu couldn't help recalling the first time he saw Chu Moshang back then, she was standing at the end of the fragrant red plum, she was so charming and charming.

"An old handkerchief, Brother Yu, don't dislike it."

"How could it be?" Yu Chongxiu came back to his senses and smiled, carefully putting away the handkerchief.He cupped his hands towards Chu Moshang, "I'm leaving."

"I wish Big Brother Yu a triumphant return." Chu Moshang bowed.

Yu Chongxiu turned and left. He could imagine Chu Moshang standing there watching him go away. This feeling made him feel like a wife sending her husband off to war.

Yu Chongxiu led an army of [-] troops to march northward. After several years of peace and prosperity, the Huaizhou army was at the time when the army was strong and strong. In less than two months, they drove the invading Yuehe tribe out of Huaizhou's land, and they were still forced to fight. Pushed the territory northward for thirty miles.The Yuehe tribe hastily borrowed troops from several small countries around them, but unexpectedly, they got no response at all.Only then did the leader of the Yuehe Clan realize that he had been isolated, so he had no choice but to surrender.

Yu Chongxiu signed a series of treaties with the leaders of the Yuehe tribe, and stayed at the border for half a month before returning to the dynasty.Emperor Huaxuan personally greeted the triumphant army on the city tower. On the morning of the second day, he rewarded his meritorious deeds and granted Yu Chongxiu the rank of second-rank general.

Yu Chongxiu was busy dealing with military affairs in the first few days after returning to the court, and it was not until the eighth day that he finally had time to go to the Chu Mansion.

After seeing Chu Weizheng, Yu Chongxiu walked to the backyard with ease, and met the Chu family siblings who were playing chess in the gazebo.

"Congratulations to Brother Yu on his triumphant return." Seeing him, Chu Weiqing hurriedly stood up and came out to greet him, wearing a jade-green shirt that looked as clear as jade.

"Brother Yu." Chu Moshang also got up and nodded to signal, dressed in white clothes and looking beautiful.

"I haven't been free these few days. I only have time to visit Chu Shishu and you until today. It's really impolite." Yu Chongxiu stepped forward with a smile, and lamented that the two brothers and sisters of the Chu family were both talented and knowledgeable in terms of talent, appearance, knowledge and character. Rare in the world.

"Brother Yu's words are off the mark. You are busy with business, so why not be rude." Today's Chu Weiqing is no longer the brat who was often naughty to the point of giving Chu Weizheng a headache three years ago. He is the first-class celebrity in front of Emperor Huaxuan.

"Since this is the case, I won't say such polite words." Yu Chongxiu said with a smile, "Today I also came here specially to return the last handkerchief." The square handkerchief that Chu Moshang gave him was passed to Chu Moshang.

"I didn't expect Brother Yu to actually do what he said." Chu Moshang took the handkerchief and smiled.

"What I told you, I will naturally do." Yu Chongxiu said involuntarily.

Chu Moshang smiled and said: "That's right, Brother Yu is a gentleman, he keeps his promises, and he will naturally do what he said."

"I'll borrow this handkerchief from you when I go out to battle later." Yu Chongxiu said to Chu Moshang.

"Why bother, Brother Yu, you can keep it if you like it, but an old handkerchief is not very valuable." Chu Moshang handed back the handkerchief in his hand.

"Then thank you, Moshang, for letting go." Yu Chongxiu took the handkerchief while guessing what Chu Moshang thought about him.

On the way Yu Chongxiu left the Chu Mansion that day, he kept thinking in his heart. Now, because he has to observe filial piety for Emperor Huai'an for three years, it is forbidden to hold various happy events in Li'an City, but he is not willing to give Chu Moshang a hasty marriage ceremony. , since I have waited for three years, I am not afraid to wait another three years.

At that time, Yu Chongxiu never imagined that in three years, too many things could happen and too many regrets could be left behind.

At the end of autumn in the second year of Emperor Huaxuan, due to the long-term drought in the north, the life of the nomadic people in the north of Huaizhou was greatly affected, and they repeatedly harassed the people on the border.At first, Emperor Hua Xuan considered the drought in the north and sent [-] troops to suppress the shortage of food and grass. However, those nomads were very cunning. But hiding without a trace.The [-] army came down dozens of times back and forth, not only failed to effectively control the enemy, but was exhausted by the enemy.

After discussing with all civil and military officials, Emperor Huaxuan decided to send Yu Chongxiu to lead [-] troops to expel these nomads out of the country, and the battlefield was planned to be on the northern border.But I didn't expect that within half a month after Yu Chongxiu arrived at the northern border, the foreign races in the northwest suddenly invaded on a large scale. Emperor Huaxuan immediately sent the old general Wen Xiao to lead [-] troops to deal with it. It is expected that General Wen was blocked everywhere on the battlefield, stalemate with the enemy for more than five months, and finally died for the country in a very tragic bloody battle.At this time, there were not many military generals left in the court, most of whom were as old as General Wen. Emperor Huaxuan couldn't bear to send his veterans out again, so he had no choice but to send Yu Chongxiu, who was driving out the nomads on the northern border. He rushed to the northwest to lead the army, and at the same time sent an additional [-] troops to the northwest, and sent two young generals to the north border to take over Yu Chongxiu's previous [-] troops.

That battle was probably the toughest battle Yu Chongxiu had ever fought in his career.

Originally, the north was dry, and it took a long time to transport food and grass from the south, but they didn't want the south to be flooded in the next spring, and there was almost no harvest.Emperor Huaxuan supplied part of the grain stored in the treasury to the 10,000+ troops fighting ahead, and the other part to the empty granaries in the north and south.Even so, there are still famines in places all over the country, and the army fighting ahead has also been cut off food and pay several times.For a while, the treasury was empty and the troops were exhausted.

This battle has been fought for two full years, and internal and external troubles have almost dragged down this originally prosperous and powerful country.

Every time when Yu Chongxiu was exhausted after a bloody battle, he would take out the square handkerchief that Chu Moshang gave him from his arms, and use his eyes to carefully trace the strokes on the handkerchief, and close his eyes. It seems that you can see Chu Moshang's gentle smile when you close your eyes.

Yu Chongxiu felt that without Chu Moshang's support, maybe he would be shrouded in horse leather like his father and elder brother.On the battlefield like Shura's purgatory, he was discouraged countless times, and thought that he would not be able to hold on for countless times, but he persisted because of a single thought about Chu Moshang.

When Yu Chongxiu finally drove the enemy out of the border and received the imperial decree from Emperor Huaxuan to let him return to the pilgrimage, he thought that the first thing he would do when he returned to Li'an this time was to go to the Chu family to propose marriage, and he wanted to give Chu Moshang the best marriage ceremony.

It's just that Yu Chongxiu never imagined that the first day he returned to Li'an, he heard the news that Emperor Huaxuan was about to get married, and the future queen was none other than Chu Moshang, whom he had been thinking about for six years.

He didn't expect that after one or two years of separation, he would not even have the qualification to see her again when he came back from the battlefield after going through life and death.

Yu Chongxiu went crazy and wanted to rush to the Chu Mansion to find Chu Moshang. His lieutenant Yang Rui refused to let go of his sword blade. Mrs. Yu hurried over and knelt on the ground begging him.Yu Chongxiu vomited a mouthful of blood, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

He lay on the bed for three whole days, and the imperial decree that Emperor Huaxuan made him a second-rank general was handed down to his bedside. He went down to the palace and kowtowed far away, thinking that it would be the place where Chu Moshang lived all his life, and he felt mixed emotions. miscellaneous.

The day before the big wedding, he found Lin Yueqing, the daughter of Lin Yuanze, the sister of Chu Moshang who grew up with him, and asked her to hand over a letter and the handkerchief to Chu Moshang.There is only one sentence in the letter: "If you ask for something in the future, use this handkerchief as a token, and I will not refuse."

He had heard about all kinds of struggles in the palace for a long time, and he didn't know if Chu Moshang could handle it, so he hoped to use his ability to help her protect her as much as possible.

After Yu Chongxiu inquired, he learned that Emperor Huaxuan had visited the south half a year ago, and was assassinated outside Li'an City on his way back to the court, and was seriously injured.In desperation, Chu Weiqing, who accompanied him, temporarily placed Emperor Huaxuan in the Chu Mansion, which was closer. In this way, Emperor Huaxuan saw Chu Moshang.After his injury stabilized, Emperor Huaxuan deliberately stayed in the Chu Mansion for half a month, and he drove back to the palace after half a month.On the second day after Emperor Huaxuan returned to the palace, an imperial decree enshrining Chu Moshang as empress was sent to the Chu Mansion.

Yu Chongxiu thought silently, how could he lose to Emperor Huaxuan in just half a month after he and Chu Moshang had known each other for six years.There is no other reason, it must be that Emperor Huaxuan first took a fancy to Chu Moshang's talent, appearance and character, and the imperial decree cannot be violated, so Chu Moshang can only become the queen who looks beautiful but has infinite suffering in the deep palace.

Yu Chongxiu hates it.

He hates himself for not being able to keep the one he loves, he hates himself for being infatuated for six years but is no match for an imperial decree, he hates himself for fighting hard for Emperor Huaxuan but in the end everything is in vain.

☆, Fanwai: See you for the first time suddenly? Emperor Chongde

Due to the emptiness of the national treasury, Emperor Huaxuan ordered the Ministry of Rites to keep everything simple when arranging the wedding. On the occasion of the wedding, the world will be amnesty. This year's tax will be completely exempted, and the next year's tax will be halved.Three years since the death of Emperor Huai'an, the first royal family event brought hope to the common people who had suffered from two years of drought, flood and war.

On the day of the wedding, all the people in Li'an City rushed to the streets, scrambling to catch a glimpse of the emperor and empress.During the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, Yu Chongxiu stood in the ranks of hundreds of officials and looked at the altar from a distance. Chu Moshang was wearing a bright red floor-length wedding dress embroidered with a golden phoenix, and the golden tassels of the phoenix crown hung down to the top of the altar. But the lower jaw can't hide a peerless face, how can she be so magnificent.

Yu Chongxiu was not reconciled, he looked at Emperor Huaxuan who was standing next to Chu Moshang in a bright red wedding dress, and the jealousy and hatred deep in his heart brewed a frightening thought.

With this idea in mind, Yu Chongxiu married Zhou Jinke, the granddaughter of General Zhou, who held great military power, in the second year of Chu Moshang's wedding with Emperor Huaxuan, and in the third year he took in the younger sister of Liu Qi, who had served under his command. Liu Qin.So far, Yu Chongxiu has guaranteed that he can control two-thirds of Huai San's military power at critical moments.In the next few years, Yu Chongxiu secretly wins over the ministers who are friendly with him, and asks Yang Rui to win over people in the Jianghu secretly for him.

In the entire ten years since Emperor Huaxuan's wedding, Yu Chongxiu went out twice for Huaizhou, and sat firmly in the position of General Huaizhou, and Emperor Huaxuan's trust in him became more and more profound. It was proceeding smoothly and silently.if the only one in the period
