Emperor’s Conquest - Chapter 2

I came from the Langya Wang family.

Wang Langya, who has been a patriarch for over 300 years since the founding of the kingdom, has the most prestigious family in the family of gatekeepers. He has entered into marriage ties with the royal family and is in charge of central power. The Wang family, a succession of Confucian masters and princes of successive generations, left behind their talented names, which were admired by the world’s officials and led Wenzao’s love for the first-looking clan of the Dang Dynasty.

Since Wang’s family, Xie’s, Wen’s, Wei’s and Gu’s, the four Wangs are also the mainstays, which makes the power of the clan’s foreign relatives in the court and the field continue to expand, almost at the peak of the royal family. The scene of the clansmen’s high gate continued to the emperor period.

When the emperor first ascended the throne, the three kings took the throne and colluded with foreigners to launch a rebellion.

That war lasted for seven years, and nearly half of the elite children of the clan participated in the war.

In the heyday of peace, no one expected that the battle would last so long.

The aristocratic children of Xianyi Numa only wanted to ride horses in the battlefield and build a lifeless feat.

However, in successive years of battle, civilian farming was deserted, farms were deserted, people were displaced, and they were severely hit by drought. Ten years of war, thousands of people died of famine and war.

Many young scholar children have left their hot blood and live life forever in the battlefield.

After this catastrophe, the gentry’s vitality was severely damaged, and a large area of ​​the farm was abandoned. The clan was not affected, and the family relied on farmland for rent for generations. Many families who lost their financial support could no longer support the huge family. Between the evening.

At the time of the chaos, soldiers of the Han nationality gained a lot of military power during the war, rapidly expanding their forces, and grasped the huge military power. This was against our strategy of “emphasizing culture over military affairs” for hundreds of years. The humble generals, who had been scorned in the past, gradually reached the pinnacle of power.

Today, when the emperor ascends to the throne, Turks in the north and neighboring countries in the south are constantly disturbing, and the border is constantly in trouble.

After years of severe drought, the state treasury was empty, the epidemic was rampant, and the poor was extremely evil. Finally, in the six years of Jian’an, it caused a riot of 100,000 victims.

Officials in various places took advantage of the chaos and cheated, and the military generals took advantage of the battle to expand their strength and support their own soldiers. The Han power led by soldiers gradually gained the upper hand and forced the court to retreat.

The glory days are finally gone.

After decades of fighting, several great families have failed and their power has continued to fall.

The only one who can still stand on the cusp of the wind is against Wang Xie.

Especially with the deep roots of the Wang family, the factions are widely planted, and the King of Qingyang holds the 200,000 troops in the South.

As long as the country still exists, if I want to shake my family, I am afraid that no one can do it, not even the emperor.

His father was a minister of the two dynasties.

His uncle ruled the internal embargo, and the official worshipped the Ministry of War.

Up and down Asano, and even prefectures and counties around the country, widely spread his father’s students.

Wang’s family has always been Ding Wangwang. It has been passed down to the grandfather’s generation that he has become thinner. Now the long house has only me and my brother. However, the people of the ancestors have already opened branches and leaves, spreading over the hometown of Langya, and even the high gate of Beijing.

My mother is the only younger sister of the emperor, Princess Jin Minchang, loved by her queen mother.

My aunt, the Empress of the Nonggong Palace, and the mother of the world, pushed my cousin to the position of Chujun.

My name is Wang Yan, and I was given the title of Lord of Yangyang upon birth.

The family likes to call my name, Grandma.

When I was young, it was not clear which house was the Royal Palace or the Yasukuni Palace.

I spent most of my childhood in the palace, and my dormitory remains in Fengchi palace.

The mother is the queen mother ’s most beloved little daughter. I am the mother ’s only daughter. My aunt once joked, “The princess is the most beautiful flower in the heavens. I never thought that although the dewdrops were soft, they could not stand the sun, and things that were too beautiful were not easy to stay.

My aunt didn’t have a daughter, so she often took me around, taught me the ceremony, and let me and my highness read books together, and even tolerated me to sleep on the queen phoenix bed in the Zhaoyang Temple.

I fell in love with my aunt’s phoenix couch and pestered my mother for an identical bed.

My aunt and her mother looked at each other and smiled, but her elder brother smirked and said, “Stupid grandma, only the queen can sleep on the phoenix couch, do you want to marry your elder brother?”

His mother smirked, but her aunt sighed, “It’s a pity that Grandma is too young.”

That year, I was only seven years old. I didn’t quite understand what a married person was, but I didn’t always like the arrogant elder brother.

Two years later, the prince got married. I was nine years old, and before the age of marriage, the candidate for the prince became the sister Xie.

Princess Xie Wanrong, the crown prince with her beautiful appearance, I like her very much, and the emperor also praises her motherly style.

However, her aunt did not like her, and her elder brother was cold to her.

Because, sister Wan Rong is the niece of the emperor’s beloved Xie Guifei.

Xie Guifei was a thorn in the eyes of her aunt for many years.

Although the Xie family was repeatedly excluded and declining, her aunt was still uneasy about Xie Guifei’s son, His Royal Highness.

Looking at Jinghua, the most prestigious beautiful man, the first three His Highness, followed by his brother.

My brother and I went to the palace from an early age and read to the prince. The prince was bad, and the second lord was frail and sick. Only the three lords grew up with us, often playing and studying together in one place, intimate with each other.

At that time, relying on the favor of the queen mother, we were always unable to play around.

No matter what disasters happen, as long as you hide in Wanshou Palace and lie in the arms of your grandmother, any punishment will be blocked by her, just like the canopy spreading steadily on our heads, you never have to worry about any storms, even the emperor Helpless.

On weekdays, it’s always my brother who has the most bad ideas. It’s me who benefits, and His Highness is a shield that always stands in front of me.

This gentle boy inherited the appearance of the royal noble and elegant, but his temperament was indifferent, just like his weak and kind mother, as if he was born not to be angry with anything. No matter what happened, it was just a touch of tenderness. Smile, watching you quietly.

Those carefree years are flying away like electricity …

The three of us are gradually growing up, and until the age of cardamom, we are the young men and women who have begun to appear.

Whenever we appear together, people always attract a stunning sound of admiration.

Where elder brothers and daughters-in-law pass, there are always little court ladies hiding behind the porch and peeping.

During the feast in the palace, the female relatives were all proud of Bo’s brother. It is a son-in-law. Although she is the prince and Fengyi Junya still wins her brother, she is not so popular with girls … because I am with him.

When we stood side by side for the first time to toast for the emperor’s birthday, the drunken emperor dropped the wine glass in his hand and said to the side Xie Guifei, “Aiqing, look, Jiutianxian Tongxia Xiafan gave you He Shou is here! “

Xie Guifei likes me very much.

My aunt doesn’t like Ziyi.

After that birthday, my aunt said that I was getting older, and there was a difference between men and women. I couldn’t move too close to the princes.

I didn’t care, relying on my mother-in-law and her mother’s pampering, I still carried my aunt on my back and secretly went to find my son-in-law.

For six years, Zhong Qiu, Empress Xiaoxian Jingren died.

It was my first death, and no matter how my mother explained tears to comfort, I refused to accept this fact.

After the great funeral, I still ran to Wanshou Palace every day, just like my queen mother was alive, holding my grandmother’s favorite raccoon slave, sitting alone in the temple, waiting for my grandmother to come from the inner temple, calling me “Little Grandma” with a smile …

One evening, I was reprimanded by my aunt and ran to Wanshou Palace in a hurry.

Sitting next to the wisteria planted by my grandmother’s mother, looking up at the dead leaves in the autumn breeze, life was so fragile, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In the early autumn, the cold air penetrated into the bottom of my heart through the thin gauze, and I felt cold, so cold that my fingertips were cold and helpless.

The shoulders suddenly warmed, and a pair of warm hands gently embraced me.

The familiar atmosphere enveloped me, and the scent of magnolia flowers filled my whole world instantly.

Zi Yan looked down at me, his eyes were deep, and he contained a kind of blur that I had never seen before.

His face, eyes, and expression, the kind and unfamiliar masculinity from his placket, made me overwhelmed, my heart seemed blank, flustered, and sweet.

A fallen leaf fell just to the face by the wind.

He reached out and brushed the leaf, but his long fingers brushed between my eyebrows, and a little trembling shivered into the body through the eyebrow.

“Amei’s eyebrow looks beautiful, but it makes me distressed.” His voice was soft and sad, and instantly reddened my cheeks.

Looking at me blushing and lowering his head, he smiled, slowly tightening his arms, holding me tighter.

This is the first time he said that I am beautiful. For so many years, he watched me grow up, said that I was good, said that I was stupid, that that I was naughty, but he had not said that I was beautiful. Passed my hand, pulled my tresses, but I didn’t hug me like this.

His arms were warm and comfortable, making me never want to leave.

That day, he told me that there are a fixed number of births, deaths, and deaths in the world.

When he said this, his eyes were warm and gentle, and his eyes were filled with melancholy.

There was a spring flowing in my heart, and it became very soft and soft for a while.

After that, I no longer fear death.

The death of my grandmother didn’t make me sad for too long. After all, it was a teenager’s heart, and no matter how serious the pain was, he could be cured quickly.

Besides, I have a new secret.

In my mind, a subtle change is happening quietly.

Soon after, his brother officially entered the DPRK with a weak crown, and was sent by his father to practice with his uncle. The uncle took the post of duty to govern the river in Huaizhou, and took his brother to Huaizhou.

As soon as my brother left, it seemed as if only me and Ziyi were left.

In the warm spring of March, the girl ’s spring shirt with thin willow green on the wall of the palace, and the thin spring sleeves of the Ting Cardamom, uttered a voice to the young boy in front of him—

Ziyu, I want to see you draw

Ziyu, let’s go horseback riding

Zizi, let’s play chess

Ziyu, I will play a new song for you

Zizi, Zizi, Zizi …

Every time, he smiled and was extremely patient with me and fulfilled any request.

He was so troubled that he couldn’t help it, he would pretend to be a heavy sigh-so naughty, how to be my princess in the future?

As soon as he said this, I would always be ashamed and flushed, like a cat stepped on his tail, and immediately turned away to escape.

There was a low laughter from Zi Zi behind, and after a long time, the laughter still lingered.

The other girls were unwilling to leave home as adults and were afraid of being polite.

Once you get married, someone will come to your house to propose your relatives soon, and your father and mother will marry you, and you will spend the rest of your life with an unknown man, all the way to the old age-how terrible to think of it.

Fortunately, I have children.

The Prince and His Royal Highness both have concubines. Looking at Jinghua, the only one who is old enough to match me is Zi Zi.

I’m not worried at all. Even if my aunt doesn’t like her sister-in-law anymore, she won’t like other sister-in-law pants.

My mother has acquiesced in my mind, and occasionally sits in Xie Guifei Palace.

Just after his thirteenth birthday, the famous family who proposed to his father was about to break the threshold of the Yasukuni Palace.

My father declined one by one on the grounds that I was still young.

At that time, I always thought that time was passing too slowly, and I was still under fifteen years old.

Ziyi is nineteen years old, and can soon be registered as a princess. If it was not because I was too young, Princess Xie would have asked the emperor to marry us. I’m worried that he can’t wait for me to grow up. I don’t know which day he will be married by the emperor and marry someone else.

After being angry, I scolded him, “Why are you so old? When I grow up, you are already an old man!”

By the time I was fifteen, my son-in-law was at least one year old, and although he had just passed the age of a weak crown, it seemed to me very old.

The son froze, half of him couldn’t speak, but he laughed at me.

However, before I was fifteen years old and the ceremony came, Xie Guifei died.

Xie Guifei was only 37 years old, and a woman as beautiful as light ink painted seemed to be reluctant to leave marks on her.

No matter how arrogant her aunt is, she never fights with her, nor is she arrogant, but she bears it alone.

I believe once again that things that are too beautiful are not always easy to grow.

Because of a cold wind, which aggravated the illness, Xie Guifei couldn’t wait for the plums to be delivered to her from thousands of miles every spring, and then died in a hurry.

She has always been frail and sick, but she never complained and lamented. Even when lying in bed, she was always well-groomed. Until the end of her life, she didn’t show half howling wolves … just slept with a hint of indifferent smile.

In the rainy night, the bell wailed for a long time, and the sixth house raised its sorrow.

That night, Ziyu stood alone in front of the spirit, tears silently, tears slid along the face into the neck, and wet the neckline.

I stood behind him for a long time, but he didn’t notice it until I handed a piece of silk to him.

He looked up, a tear, splashing Spar.

The expensive and fragile glacial silk is most afraid of water, and it will leave wrinkles when it is moistened, and it can no longer be smoothed.

I used Spar to wipe his tears for him, but he took me into his arms and told me not to cry.

It turned out that my own tears flowed worse than him.

The spar was locked in the bottom of the box by me. The slight wrinkle on it was Ziyan’s tears.

He lost his mother and no one can rely on him in this big palace.

Although I do not understand, I have understood the importance of the mother family to the prince.

The Xie family has lost power. For a long time, the son-in-law has relied on it, but it is the emperor’s unfailing favor to Xie Guifei for decades. It is also because of this favor that he attracted his aunt’s resentment … The emperor can leave the Nonggong Palace for the favor of a concubine, but can’t offend a powerful foreigner for a prince. The former is just a matter of emperor, but the latter is a matter of national affairs.

At that time, I still thought that as long as the son-in-law married me, he would receive the protection of the Wang family and be safe in the palace.

However, the aunt’s fierce behavior was beyond my expectation.

According to the ancestors, after the death of the parents, the children should remain filial for three years.

However, the royal family has not strictly adhered to this system. Instead, it served the filial piety in the palace and chose another relative to the palace to take care of the filial piety on behalf of the emperor.

However, after the death of Xie Guifei, a decree was issued, saying that the son-in-law was pure filial piety, and he went to the tomb of the emperor to keep the filial piety for his mother for three years.

No matter how much I begged outside the temple of Zhaoyang, my aunt refused to see me … The mother was helpless, hiding her father, and went to see the emperor with me, asking the emperor to surrender his son to leave.

The departure of Xie Guifei made the emperor ten years old overnight.

On weekdays, only facing his son-in-law, he was like a loving father, not a deep and serious emperor.

However, at this time, he refused to give up his beloved son.

He said that Huangling is a very safe place and there is nothing wrong with it.

Looking at my tears, the emperor sighed deeply, “It’s so good, but unfortunately it’s also Wang …”

The day Zi Zi left Beijing, I didn’t go to send him, for he was more sad when he saw me cry.

I hope Zi Zi can leave with a smile as usual, like the proudest and noble prince in my heart, and no one will see his sadness and tears.

Zi’s ​​car drove to Taihuamen, and my personal maid Jiner waited there early.

Jiner took a small old wooden box with something in it that would accompany me beside him.

At that moment, I stood quietly in front of the city, and saw him stationed in the distance, leaned over, and took the wooden box.

He only glanced, and then turned his face to prevent people from seeing him.

Jin Er worshiped him deeply, got up, and avoided the road.

He no longer looked back, whipped his horse, and went away.
