Why did Zhongzhao become the most powerful country in the five countries in the Central Plains
First, Zhongzhao has a unique geographical advantage, the border only borders with other Central Plains countries, and there is no disaster for foreigners.
Second, Zhongzhao was the first among the five kingdoms to be established, and it grabbed a lot of wealth from the previous dynasty and attracted many famous families.
There is no foreign coveted, but also the wealth accumulated by the family as the background, becoming the first of the five countries, as expected.
It's just that excessive comfort gave birth to infighting.
Today's Zhongzhao has stepped into the footsteps of Dongqing, and the party's struggle has become more and more ferocious.
In addition to infighting, the rich, extravagant and comfortable life also distorts the thinking of some people, and can be a demon.
Just as the man in gray taunted, Zhongzhao caused so many moths, it was simply because there were too few dead people.
If Zhongzhao were to arrange a bunch of enemies with tigers and wolves, their borders would be uneasy, countless young heroes sacrificed tragically, and the number of newborns decreased year by year, and they would still be tossing about the so-called "Four Books of Women"... women's chastity...
Oh, it's simply a big joke in the world.
The man in grey left the tea shop and followed his memory to find the place where the Shentang ceremony was held.
When he arrived, a bunch of people who were not too big of a problem had gathered in front of them, standing by the water and pointing.
The noisy discussion was mixed with the cry, and the man in gray looked down and followed the cry. The crying child was young, the boy was older, about seven or eight years old, and the girl was young and thin, only three or four years old, and the two were black and thin.
Beside them, there was a young man in his twenties. This man had a grim expression, protecting the child and roaring at the crowd.
Combining the discussion in the tea shop and the conversations of the villagers who were watching Shentang, the man in gray sorted out the outline of the story.
To put it simply, a 23-year-old young widow couldn't stand the loneliness, stole a man from the same village, was caught and then drowned.
The man in gray took two steps forward. Taking advantage of his tall stature, he saw at a glance a drowning woman with pale skin lying beside the pond.
Before he arrived, the man had been drowned in a pig cage.
It didn't take long for the crowd watching the excitement to disperse, with the strange joy of breaking the taboo on their faces, which was disgustingly ugly.
The man in gray was about to leave when he saw the young man dipping into the water, picking up the body of the woman whose half was submerged in the water, and preparing to carry it home.
He lowered his eyes, paused, and took out some broken silver to the children beside the young man.
Look at the youth's attire, it doesn't look like a rich man, let alone give a woman a posthumous honor.
The young man bit his lip tremblingly, his eyes filled with tears, and after a while, he said in a thick accent, "Thank you, big brother."
The man in gray took the opportunity to ask two more questions and heard another version.
The woman who was submerged in the pond was the village flower of the neighboring village. She married to the village a few years ago. She and her husband had been married for several years, but her belly had not moved. She finally conceived and gave birth to a daughter, and her in-laws were particularly disgusted by her. After the daughter was born, her husband died, and the woman was young and widowed. Her parents-in-law treated them even more harshly. She felt that the granddaughter came to conquer the people, and even threw her daughter into the mountains while the woman was not paying attention, almost feeding the wolf.
The young man went hunting in the mountains and happened to rescue his daughter. The two met and fell in love with each other over time.
A widow who was widowed with her only daughter had a tough life, and a widow who was widowed and had a son under her knees. The two had good feelings for each other. They were a match made in heaven. After a long time, the estrangement will be broken, and after the discussion, they will prepare to live together and support each other.
However, the woman's in-laws couldn't accept it. The couple also went to the patriarch, hoping to drown the unclean woman, so as not to stain the family name.
The young man hunted all the year round, but he used his brute force to frighten the people who came to arrest them.
He can protect it once or twice, how can he protect the woman I
This morning, the woman discovered that her daughter and stepson were missing, for fear that the child would be abducted and sold or thrown into the mountains by her in-laws to feed the wolves. She hurriedly came out to look for it. She didn't expect this to be a tricky trick. Drowning in the pond.
When the young man realized that it was not good and hurried over, it was too late.
Hearing this story, the man in grey gave a short and sarcastic "ha".
What's the funniest thing in the world-
A woman who does her best, righteously asks all women in the world to observe festivals!
"Take these silver taels and change the place. If they remember it someday, maybe they will arrest this girl too..."
The young man burst into tears and saw that he was greatly wronged, but he did not accept the kindness of the man in gray.
For him, it was the greatest kindness that the man in gray did not come to scold him and the woman.
The man in gray sighed softly, handed the purse to the boy who was shrunk aside, and couldn't help rubbing the girl's bun again.
"What's wrong with this world..."
The young man sobbed and cried while carrying the woman's cold and swollen corpse.
"Oh, the wicked will eat their own fruit eventually."
The man in gray left this sentence and left quietly.
That night, the imperial city was brightly lit.
The classrooms are lively and prosperous everywhere, the silk and bamboo orchestras are endless, the figures are crowded, and the figure of Miaoman evokes reverie.
There is also continuous vocal music in the palace, and there is an extremely luxurious and extravagant atmosphere everywhere.
The man in grey entered the palace through a doorway, and with the help of the inner responder, he came to the Tianfeng Palace where the queen lived.
On the top of the red and red gate is a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which is written the three characters of dragon flying and phoenix dance - Tianfeng Palace.
Inside the palace, candles flicker, and a phoenix is about to fly on the eaves and bucket arches carved from sandalwood.
In the sleeping hall, sandalwood is used as beams and pearls are used as curtains. There is a huge moon pearl hanging in the sky of the temple, shining brightly, as if the full moon on the horizon is hooked into the temple, like a fairyland on earth. The ground paved with white jade shone with warm rays of light, embedded with gemstones and gold beads, and the ground was carved into lotus flowers. The blossoming lotus flowers were lifelike, the petals were fresh and exquisite, and the stamens were delicate and recognizable.
Oh, it's really luxurious to the extreme.
The man in gray had already changed his clothes. He walked straight into the hall, and he didn't meet a palace maid on the way.
"Come on, for this palace..."
Inside the palace, a woman in palace dress was kneeling in front of the dressing mirror, applying makeup to the mirror.
Taking a closer look, the mirror inlaid with gems is not made of copper, and it can reflect the human figure so clearly, it is as bright as a mirror.
The woman in the palace dress reflected through the mirror, and saw a man with a vicissitudes of life standing behind her. The appearance of this man gave her a very familiar feeling... This man... looks like an acquaintance... She was shocked, and only then did she realize that the inside of the palace was actually There are no servants of the palace.
She suppressed the fear in her heart, and turned around to ask him, pretending to be calm, "Who are you?"
"The nobles forget things. Xie Qian, who was murdered by you more than ten years ago, do you still remember?"
As he spoke, he showed the long spear wrapped in cloth and directly attacked the woman's heart with the spear.
