East Qin, Yuan Hao year, spring.

There are rumors that the royal family of Nanzhao has a cold fragrance bead hidden in their lips, which can keep the corpse from decaying for thousands of years.

When Emperor Yuan Hao heard about it, he was overjoyed, and sent the guard of the southern border to bring a large number of treasures to exchange, and wished to have a good relationship with him for a hundred years.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Nanzhao turned his back on what he said, and sent someone to intercept and kill the guard on the way back with the Hanxiang Pearl.

General Huaiyuan unfortunately died in battle, but Major General Meng Tianhe, under the cover of the accompanying soldiers, broke out of the encirclement alone, and presented the blood-stained Hanxiang Pearl to the Holy One.

Emperor Yuan Hao was furious, so he went to war with Nan Zhao, vowing to avenge his blood.

When the two countries were at war, the Eastern Qin had many victories and was as powerful as a broken bamboo. Therefore, Nanzhao's morale decreased with each battle, and there was a faint sign of defeat.

Unexpectedly, in June of the same year, Western Chu and Northern Qi declared war on Eastern Qin at the same time, which made Eastern Qin fall into a dangerous situation of multi-front combat.

Eastern Qin had one against three, and it was evenly matched at the beginning.However, with the passage of time, the troops were dispersed, faced with the enemy, and the consumption was twice that of the enemy, so it gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Dongqin, Yuanhao three years, early winter.

Except for the northern border, the defense lines of the other three borders retreated steadily and were unable to recover.

East Qin had come to an end, fighting again would only increase casualties in vain.

The letter of surrender carefully drafted by the officials was presented to the Xinuang Pavilion of the Chonghua Palace, and the war, which lasted for nearly three years, would end only after Emperor Yuan Hao stamped the jade seal.

The news spread outside the palace, and the people who suffered from the war all showed joy. They didn't care who was the emperor, they just wanted to restore the stability of the past as soon as possible so that they could continue to live their small lives.

There are only a few people with lofty ideals who feel sad for the imminent subjugation of the country, and wish to die with it.

That night.

A lamp was lit in the Xinuang Pavilion, and the dim yellow candlelight shone on the Jiang books spread out on the Kang table, illuminating the shocking characters "Jiang" one after another.

Ao Ye stood with his hands behind his back, looked down at the Jiang Shu for a long time, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Come here, bring the jade seal."

After a while, someone came with a jade seal and stood silently aside.

Ao Ye turned his head and saw that it was Father Fuquan with gray temples, and the little eunuch Fulai he had personally taught was standing at the screen a few steps away with a bitter face holding a cup of steaming tea.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Fuquan called out, "If you keep the green hills alive, you won't have to worry about firewood. With your ability, we will make a comeback sooner or later..."

Ao Ye raised his hand, and stopped Fuquan from speaking to comfort him, "You bring Ao Min yourself, and I have something to tell him."

"Here."

Fuquan had no choice but to put the jade seal next to the surrender letter, then bowed to Ao Ye and withdrew.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

After the master left, Fulai couldn't help shrinking his head in front of the increasingly powerful Ao Ye.

Ever since Ao Ye ascended the throne and became Emperor Yuan Hao, he was inexplicably afraid to make a mistake in front of Ao Ye, and became extra cautious, for fear of losing his life one day.

"Back off." Ao Ye withdrew his gaze, and focused his gaze on the jade seal carved from precious jade since the founding of the Eastern Qin Dynasty. The square jade was as white as suet, and the lower edge was surrounded by a carved gold border.

Fulai didn't dare to say anything, and left the Xinuang Pavilion according to the words, and then looked at the full moon in mid-air through the window in a daze.

As the saying goes, people with a full moon are also reunited.

But their majesty lost their loved ones, and they could no longer be reunited.Over the years, His Majesty has become more and more indifferent day by day, as if separated from all the excitement in this world by a layer of mist, only occasionally throwing an emotionless glance.

Ao Ye picked up the jade seal, his touch was warm and slightly cool, reminding him of She Yanbai's hand.It's just that the jade will get warm after holding it for a while, but She Yanbai's hand is extremely difficult to warm up.

He knew that as long as he put the jade seal on the descending letter, it meant that there would be no more East Qin in this world.And he will become a subjugated king who ruined his ancestors' foundation.

However, the East Qin had no energy left to resist the Three Kingdoms, and a stubborn resistance would only delay the period of annihilation for another two or three months.

Ao Ye slowly approached Jiang Shu with the jade seal, and stopped when he was about to touch the writing.He has read many books and learned many things in his life, but he has never learned to "surrender". In his life, there is only "I would rather die than surrender"!

But if they don't surrender... Ao Ye smiled wryly, thinking of the threat of the enemy country—if they didn't surrender, several occupied cities on the border would face massacres.

At that time, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will die tragically because of his "ambition".

Ao Ye's hand trembled, and the jade seal dropped heavily on the surrender letter, leaving a scarlet mark.

At this moment, it was as if something was pulled away from his body, causing his straight back to bend slightly, his whole body lost all energy, and there was an obvious tiredness in his eyes and brows.

Ao Ye turned around, leaned on the door wall and left the Xinuang Pavilion, and then went to the underground darkroom of Chonghua Palace in a daze - it was built three years ago, and there were many huge ice blocks piled up inside. People are like being in a world of ice and snow, but within a short while, their hands and feet will be cold and their faces will be blue.

There are many moon pearls inlaid on the wall, and the fluorescence emitted by the ice is refracted, making the whole dark room in a blurred light, as if a bizarre dream has come into reality.

And in the center of the dark room, in the depths of the dream, lay a person who filled him with pain and longing whenever he thought about it.

Ao Ye walked over lightly, and pushed open the lid of the coffin with a little effort, revealing She Yanbai who seemed to be asleep inside.

The cold fragrance pearl bought with his life was placed between his lips, which prevented the body from decomposing, and made She Yanbai still as amazingly beautiful as before.If the complexion is not so blue and white, it really looks like a person who is still alive.

In a trance, it seemed that as long as he called out, She Yanbai would wake up, open those long and narrow beautiful eyes, glance at him with a smile, and then call out "Aye".

Ao Ye bent down, stroked She Yanbai's cheek with her cold hands, and murmured, "Abai, are you angry with me for making you wait so long? But I'm coming to you , I will do whatever you want to vent your anger at that time."

There was only his breathing and heartbeat in the dark room, and there was no other sound, it was eerily quiet.

Ao Ye looked at She Yanbai silently for a while, then suddenly the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she said with a low smile, "Sometimes I really feel that you haven't actually left, but stayed by my side in a different way."

He withdrew his hand, touched his chest, then slowly closed the lid, and left the dark room feeling cold.

As soon as he left the dark room, Ao Ye met the worried eyes of Ao Min and Fu Quan.

Three years have passed, Fuquan has aged a lot, and Ao Min's face has also changed from youthful to mature.

"Well, this old slave thought you would stay in there for a whole day like before." Fuquan said, and then took a thick fox fur and put it on Ao Ye, "Why don't you know how to cherish it?" What about yourself? If you freeze your body, Young Master She, Izumi Youzhi, will be worried."

Ao Ye lowered his eyes, silently listening to Fuquan's words of concern.

If it is true that there is knowledge under the spring, why hasn't She Yanbai entered his dream in the past three years?

Ao Min's expression was heavy, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly knelt down towards Ao Ye, and begged on the ground, "Brother Emperor, please pass me on."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ao Ye said calmly, "Get up."

"I'm sorry, my brother! Unless you agree to pass it on to me!" Ao Min straightened his waist and said stubbornly, "If it weren't for those monstrous monks who fled to other countries to spread rumors, if it weren't for those remnants of the family who betrayed the news, if it weren't for those people who threatened the lives of the people... ...You will not necessarily lose this war! Therefore, please pass it on to my younger brother, and let my younger brother stamp the jade seal on the letter of surrender for you! For you..."

"Bear the title of King of Subjugation for Gu?" Ao Ye followed his words.

"Yes!" Ao Min nodded emphatically, his eyes were extremely bright, "I believe that one day, Brother Emperor, you will be able to retake East Qin! Get rid of those who show off their power in our East Qin territory!"

Ao Ye stared at Ao Min for a moment, "You are my younger brother, I believe you can do these things too."

He bent down and pulled Ao Min up, then took out a black whistle and put it in his palm, then closed his hands.

"Brother Emperor?" Ao Min asked in a daze.

"If Gu evaded his responsibilities and became a coward, how can he be worthy of being the elder brother you have always admired?" Ao Ye smiled faintly.

"Brother!" Ao Min burst into tears suddenly, "I only have you, brother."

"In the future, you will not only have a wife and children, but also soldiers and civilians from the northern border as your relatives. You will never be alone." Ao Ye patted Ao Min's shoulder and comforted him.

Ao Min cried uncontrollably, "That's different, Brother Huang."

Ao Min helplessly shook his head, "You are already a man, why do you still cry so much?"

Then he waved his hand and signaled Fuquan to persuade Ao Min, but Fuquan's eyes were moist too, how could he persuade Ao Min?

Suddenly a guard hurried in and reported, "Your Majesty, General Meng and others have arrived."

"Let them come in." Ao Ye said.

Hearing this, Ao Min raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears, then asked doubtfully, "Isn't General Meng in the north?"

Ao Ye didn't answer him, but just looked up at the gate of the palace.

After a while, Meng Tianhe walked in with several subordinates with a frosty face. When he saw Ao Ye, he knelt down on one knee and respectfully said, "The last general will see Your Majesty!"

"Get up." Ao Ye raised his hand, "Tianhe, Gu will hand them over to you."

"The final general will not disgrace his mission!" Meng Tianhe's brows were determined, without a trace of the honesty and simplicity of the past.Through the bereavement of his father and the baptism of war, he has grown into a solid and reliable man.

Ao Min and Fu Quan looked at them blankly.

"Ao Min, Fuquan, Tianhe will take you out of the capital and head to the northern border soon." Ao Ye explained, "After arriving in the northern border, you all follow Tianhe's arrangement, and I believe he will protect you well."

"What about you, Brother Huang?" Ao Min asked.

Ao Ye smiled faintly, held the hilt of the Shuanghua Sword on his waist, walked around them and strode out.

What about him?He naturally went to look for She Yanbai.

It was late, he was afraid that She Yanbai would leave him and go first.

Ao Min and Fu Quan wanted to catch up, but they were stopped by Meng Tianhe, "Please obey your orders, don't make things difficult for me."

Looking at the brisk back that was walking farther and farther through the hazy eyes of tears, Ao Min had a bad premonition in his heart, but he knew in his heart that he could do nothing but cry now.

His eye sockets suddenly dried up, and he never shed a single tear for the rest of his life.

This time Meng Tianhe came quietly, he took away the coffin in the darkroom of the Chonghua Palace, Ao Min and other members of the royal family, and Zuo Pengxiang who was loyal to East Qin and did not want to stay in the capital.

The aged right minister stayed and sat at home until dawn, then tremblingly went to the palace to fetch the letter of surrender and present it to the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.

"Where is Emperor Yuanhao? He should personally read this letter to us." The envoy of the Three Kingdoms said dissatisfied.

The Prime Minister on the right sighed, "Your Majesty, he should be in the Zhaixing Building now, which is the tallest building in the palace."

It was said that the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, surrounded by some officials from East Qin, went to the Zhaixing Tower, intending to ridicule the young king of subjugation of East Qin to their heart's content.

As soon as they arrived downstairs, they saw a young emperor dressed in black standing by the railing on the top floor and looking to the north. As if aware of their arrival, the young emperor drew out a silver-gray sword Between the neck.

"Look! Emperor Yuan Hao is right there!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is this, is this going to commit suicide?"

"Come on, hurry up and stop him!"

Suddenly, there was light snow between the sky and the earth.

Just like the day She Yanbai left, Dongqin ushered in the first snow that year, it was not big but very cold.

"Did you come to pick me up, Yan Bai..."

Ao Ye closed his eyes, a satisfied smile floated on his lips.

He slowly clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and was about to end his life under the gaze of everyone downstairs.

At this moment, a ball of white light suddenly appeared in midair, forming a simple and solemn door in the blink of an eye.

A man in white came out of it, and when he saw Ao Ye with downcast eyes, he couldn't help but sighed softly, with a look of pity on his face.

"Ye'er, uncle is late."

The author has something to say: 1. I went to play with my friends today, and there is something missing. I will make up for it tomorrow.

2. Good night, baby, sweet dreams
