When Princess Yan woke up, her pillow was wet. She stroked the corners of her eyes that had already seen lines, and looked at the top quietly for a while. Swallows and sparrows woven with three-color thread are hung on the top.
The swallows were made by Xin Jing, and the sparrows were made by Xin Li.
Princess Yan got up, and there was no mirror in front of her when she was doing her makeup. Since Xin Jing left, she never looked in the mirror again. This weak and beautiful woman despises time and hates the sky. Her old age is only entrusted to her own thoughts, and she is so stubborn that she refuses to give others a chance to spy on her pain.
All her softness and tenderness were left to her husband and sons, and only her hard thorns were left for outsiders.
After finishing her makeup, she straightened her hair, and Aunt Ying quietly presented the jewelry box. This box is unusual, it contains all the jewelry given to her by the men of Prince Yan's Mansion, each piece is a heart and a smile, and each piece is of great significance to her.
Today she picked out an emerald hairpin with flying swallows engraved on it, which was a gift from Xin Li. She inserted it into her hair carefully, then stood up, and Aunt Ying adjusted the side sleeves of the king's robe for her. She was dressed in formal attire, dignified and beautiful.
After finishing, Aunt Ying held the hand, and she walked out the door.
Under the steps, stood her only two remaining sons. On another step, stood her husband whom she depended on all her life.
King Yan was also dressed formally, and he seemed to be absent-minded while standing on the steps. Princess Yan looked at him, feeling really happy. She had walked hand in hand with this man all her life, and in just a short moment, he turned gray.
He is in his prime.
King Yan didn't wait for her on the steps, but came down to pick her up. Aunt Ying stepped back, Princess Yan took King Yan's arm, and King Yan covered her hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, walking together silently.
outside.
Countless people were waiting, and Princess Yan wanted to hold her head high, without showing any sadness, and tell the people from the capital in a dignified manner.
My son Xin Li was indeed dead and returned home, not because of his private wish with the other sons of Shanyin, he died in battle, for Dalan, for Beiyang, for the oath of a general, he died in battle.
But when she stood on a high step and looked down at the unpredictable King Ping and the people from Kyoto who were gleeful at other people's misfortunes, she didn't want to say that.
People who put their selfish desires and interests before the safety of their family and country, what kind of righteousness should you say.
"Dayuan ambition." Yan Wangfei was supported by Yan Wang, her eyes swept over the people below, the army behind, the wolf flag on the high wall, and said slowly: "Planning the territory of my home country, attacking the soft back, and attacking the border. I am Beiyang, Live to defend the country, and die to defend the frontier. 300,000 people live as the defense line of Dalan, and 300,000 people die as the soul of the Dalan army. I swear to my heart and soul, and die. .The lion king will conquer Canaan. Although I have lost two sons, I still swear." She paused, her voice suddenly turned high, and the words were sonorous, "The one who breaks Canaan in the future must be the son of my Xin family in Beiyang!"
Those who will break Canaan in the future.
It must be my Beiyang Xin family son!
Even if the two sons die, the army is scattered, and the villain is injured, I am still standing up to the sky and making this oath frankly. The Xin family in Beiyang was born in Xinjiang and guarded the country. Even if you and I die in the future and have a son, we will definitely break Canaan!
"Well said." King Yan whispered in her ear, clasped fingers with her, his eyes downcast gently. "You are like this, so people respect and envy you."
"My husband is King Yan of Beiyang." Princess Yan also softly whispered back in his ear: "What's more, I'm respected by others. As his wife, I dare not be embarrassed."
The two looked at each other and smiled, a thousand words, beyond the eyes.
Another two years passed, and the border war gradually showed its victories. Just like Princess Yan's oath at Hitachi, Xin Jing dashed across the mountains and attacked all the way, driving the thirty-two tribes of Dayuan to the north, and fled to the northern glacier in embarrassment.
We are about to arrive at Wanze, and when Mount Canaan is broken, Dayuan will no longer exist.
At this time, people from Kyoto came again. This time, it was the Queen Mother Yizhi who called Princess Yan into the palace to accompany her.
Yes. If Xin Jing breaks through Mount Canaan and defeats Dayuan, then King Yan of Beiyang will regain his momentum and hold a large army, which is really worrying. Concubine Yan needs to enter the palace to be at ease.
Princess Yan went.
This time, I stayed from the beginning of fifty-three years until the beginning of winter. During this period, Xin Jing's offensive was unlimited, destroying two clans in a row, and sent troops to chase north.
Occasionally, the emperor would meet Princess Yan at the empress dowager's place, and would just say a few words of care. In Beijing, apart from the Crown Princess, there is also a Qin Wangfei who often enters the palace to play chess with Yan Wangfei.
When winter came, Princess Qin brought the prince of Qin with her.
The child was about the same age as Xin Yi, and was born beautiful. He pleased the emperor and the queen mother very much.
The single name is a stewed word.
When Xin Wen met Yan Wangfei, he saluted and said hello, and was always lovable, so that the queen mother could not cherish her. He is about the same age as Xin Yi, Princess Yan misses her son, so she sees him more.
While everyone was chatting and laughing, he asked Princess Yan, "Why does Auntie look at me?"
"Pleasant." Princess Yan offered a dish.
He lowered his eyes and smiled, "How dare my aunt give me food." He looked like a mob showing his tail, "I'm so afraid of death, I don't want to eat the food my aunt wants my son to eat."
"You're so young." Princess Yan turned her head and smiled softly at him, "You're so disgusting."
Xin Wen took the chopsticks and glanced sideways, "It's no wonder His Majesty doesn't like you when you talk like this." Then he said: "But I am very fond of Your Majesty, what His Majesty says, I do what I do."
"Then what does His Majesty want you to do?"
Xin Wen picked up the dish she gave and put it in his mouth. After only swallowing for a moment, Xin Wen burst into tears. He lay down on the desk and cried in pain. Princess Qin hugged him into her arms for some reason.
Sweat broke out on Xin Wen's painful forehead, and he cried, "Mother and concubine save Wen'er."
The word rescue is unusual, because it is necessary to save after eating poison.
The Empress Dowager ordered all the mouths to be sealed, and her servants escorted Princess Yan for trial. The queen mother talked about three poisonous women in a row, which shows her anger. Although Princess Qin hurt her son, she was hesitant and uncertain about the responsibility. But because of her kindness, the emperor's inner prison judged that the poison was caused by Princess Yan, and the investigation was quick. In less than three days, Princess Yan was convicted and punished.
The Beiyang Army is fighting bloody battles in front, and must not hurt the hearts of the generals. The emperor made an exception and changed from beheading to Bai Ling.
From the beginning to the end, Princess Yan did not argue, bow down, or cry. The moment Bai Ling presented it, she also slowly put a jade bracelet on her wrist.
"My husband." She said softly to Aunt Ying who was crying: "I have poor eyesight, and I have never been able to choose the jewelry I like. Only this bracelet, he learned how to polish it himself. Although it is rough, it is also beautiful. I Very happy, very fond of it.”
Aunt Ying knelt and tugged at the hem of her skirt, and cried: "Princess, don't take care of these bastards. The slaves are not talented, and only flesh and blood are left. I would like to lead the concubine to fight this wolf and tiger."
"What are you talking about?" Concubine Yan gently stroked Aunt Ying's hair, "This palace has three floors inside and three floors outside. I can't see it from the west building, you silly woman, how did you lead me out?" go?"
Aunt Ying bumped her head against the ground in pain, and there was a loud bang, and she hissed, "Why did this happen! Why did this happen! I, Beiyang, have been loyal for a generation! I have been loyal for a generation!"
"Beiyang is loyal to defend the country." Princess Yan stood up, walked towards the servants, and said in a low voice: "The loyal family of the people is not an ant in the temple." Here comes a glass of wine, my husband and son are brave on the battlefield, I am a wife and mother, I should toast them."
The waiter silently removed the white silk, and brought the wine instead. Princess Yan took the cup and turned to Aunt Ying and smiled.
"Auntie, it's my good fortune to have your support in this life. Thank you."
He raised his head and drank a cup, facing the north, and raised his cup loudly.
"Zhensheng, Huang Quan won't wait. I will reincarnate in the next life, and I would like to be your wife again."
Xiao Jing and A Li, the mother is weak and dare not give up the world. You have been waiting for a long time, and mother is here.
King Yan's knife suddenly rusted.
He bent down to wipe the rust, but his hand was scratched.
The snow on Yuanchun night was all over his king's cloak, and his wife's moldings were tightly attached to his shoulders. He thought it was a difficult night, because he had never been separated from his wife on Yuan Chun Ye, and he felt guilty and lonely.
Suddenly a horse galloped under the wall.
The visitor shouted loudly: "Urgent report from the capital, Yan Princess Ming's sudden death! Beiyang army, quickly send someone back!"
King Yan's knife is rusted.
Even added blood.
He was leaning on the wall, and in the strong wind and cold, he suddenly coughed violently, until he was bent down, his forehead was against the cold wall, and he slid down.
"ah."
King Yan hissed in a low voice: "What the hell is going on here?"
I have the same root as the king.
I have been daring for you for several years.
I restrain myself.
I serve Wang Zhongguo.
Why come here.
Cut off my son, kill my wife, force my heart.
want me to die.
The wind roared across the cheek, and Xin Jing's horse galloped in the dark night. He rushed in the direction of the capital, and on this blizzard night, with his knife, biting his blood, across the wilderness thousands of miles away, he rushed crazily.
Ji Baiyue chased after him desperately, no matter what he shouted, Xin Jing couldn't hear him.
The horse stumbled and broke its leg in a hurry, neighing and falling. Xin Jing fell into the snow, he dragged his knife, got up and continued walking. Ji Baiyue caught up, grabbed Tiandao's scabbard, and hissed, "My lord! Where are you going, my lord!"
Xin Jing kicked him, and his tense spine seemed to be broken if he poked it.
"Young master!" Ji Baiyue hugged Xin Jing's legs and choked up, "I can't go, I can't go!"
Xin Jing kicked him crazily, and Meng Chen and Wu Yu who came from behind rushed forward to hold Xin Jing down. Xin Jing was pressed into the snow, he panted violently, and crawled forward in the snow.
"My lord!" Ji Baiyue knelt beside him, covered his face and lost his voice: "Even if we go, how about it! Did you kill the emperor!"
"I'm going to kill him!" Xin Jing's superficial composure was suddenly torn apart, he hit the ground, every time, hard, choking and hoarse: "I'm going to kill them."
Blizzard blew away his tears, his eyes were dry and he could no longer shed tears. Even if people whimpered, they couldn't shed tears.
It can no longer flow out.
"Mother." Xin Jing lay down in the snow, the cold snow water rolling down his face, he murmured: "Mother."
His flesh and bones were almost gone.
No matter the wind, snow and cold, no matter the sword.
He didn't feel it anymore.
Fifty-three years passed, and fifty-four years began.
Yan Wang will die.
He often coughed up blood, and because of the hardships in the army, he did not rest. Kyoto has come to condolences several times, and the tonics have been thrown into the tent to collect ashes. The emperor mentioned his rest, but Yan Wang ignored it.
The imperial decree was all outside the tent, and he just wiped his knife in the tent.
He was an iron horse, and he was destined to end up shrouded in horse leather.
The last time Xin Jing saw him was to pursue Dayuan northward. Xin Jing has already reached Wanze, and is about to break through Canaan, and King Yan wants to attack with the Zhadalan tribe in the east.
Father and son sit together.
"Mount Canaan is not easy to attack." King Yan smiled at him, "Alslen is not easy to attack either."
Xin Jing nodded, keeping his hand on Tian Dao at his side. His expression was deep, his eyes were dark and empty.
"Ah Jing." King Yan straightened his legs, "Come and compare with me."
Xin Jing also straightened his legs, he was already taller than King Yan. King Yan looked at his extra part, and lightly punched him on the back, "Top the pillar."
Xin Jing also thumped his father lightly on the back, and said, "Tianzhu."
The two lowered their heads and laughed together. Queen Yan propped herself on the ground, looked up at the sky, and said, "I haven't seen Xin Yi for a long time."
"Yeah." Xin Jing thought of something and said with a smile, "I don't stutter anymore."
The two stayed for a while, Ji Baiyue led Xin Jing's horse and stood in the distance. King Yan patted Xin Jing on the shoulder, "Go."
Xin Jing nodded, stood up and patted the ashes on his robe, "Then I'm leaving."
King Yan nodded, and Xin Jing turned around. He walked a few steps, then turned back, and said to King Yan, "Take care, old man."
King Yan smiled and looked at him, Ma Cebei, until he disappeared.
Spring is not here yet.
Yan Wang went.
spring.
When Xin Jing arrived in Wanze, the majestic Canaan Mountain stood in front of him. If he steps out, he will have nothing to do in his life. After arriving here, Dayuan was defeated, and the Beiyang Army didn't have to conscript here and there, and the country was stable, so what else could he do.
Xin Jing is homesick.
He lowered his head and smiled, touched the corners of his lips that hadn't moved, and thought, "Where are we going back?"
In this last attack, Arslen's eagle hovered over the clouds of Mount Canaan. Xin Jing killed and killed, suddenly wanted to laugh.
His knife is called Tiandao.
Doesn't this make people feel ridiculous.
Arslen is a dog abandoned by the Qiyan Tribe, guarding Canaan Mountain. If he can't keep it, the Zhadalan Tribe will be the next to exterminate the clan. Xin Jing was already numb, and he couldn't remember how many Dayuan Thirty-two Departments he had destroyed.
It seems that there is one more and one less.
It's no different.
He fought all the way, and saw the crying and pain of the Dayuan people. Dayuan even forbids the word "Jing", they are afraid that he will only run all the way, and they will tremble when they hear his name. Xin Jing's way of heaven is heavy, there is pain on the knife, and there is soul under the knife. Pulling off Xin Jing's clothes, this body is riddled with holes, but it is not as terrifying as his heart.
He was not such a person.
What a cruel road.
Xin Jing suddenly lifted Arslen's long knife, but the blade still cut across Ji Baiyue's brow bone. Blood covered his eyes, Ji Baiyue dragged his strong bow in the confusion, and gave Arslen a slap in the stomach.
"Go to the back." Xin Jing's blade trembled slightly under the weight of Arslen, and he said to Ji Baiyue: "You are an archer, what kind of bear do you pretend to be before you run?"
Ji Baiyue climbed up and quickly retreated.
Xin Jing turned his knife and slashed on the left side of Arslen, but was quickly blocked by the long knife. Arslen let out a low cry, and suddenly pushed Xin Jing back in this posture.
"I won't let you cross Mount Canaan!" Arslen roared, "Xin Jing!"
Xin Jing took a step back, stopped his retreat, and laughed out loud, "Ah, try it, try it, old lion!"
The fighting was concentrated on this battlefield, and the Beiyang Army and Dayuan had reached the last place. Mount Canaan was silent, silent and lonely.
The blades meet, screaming.
The water in Wanze was soaked red, and the blood kept flowing, gurgling. Countless people's hearts and minds are broken in this war. Only by experiencing it personally can we understand how dreamlike it is to calm the world without war.
Only personal experience.
The long knife is straight, and it is very pleasant when it passes through the chest, and one stroke is enough.
Tian Dao chopped the Lion King's shoulder, but failed to kill him.
Arslen whispered in Xin Jing's ear: "Mt. Canaan is the defense line of Dayuan. You have come here, Xin Jing. You can't make it through again."
Xin Jing pulled out the Heavenly Dao, took a step back, and shook it a bit. The wind blew his hair, he smiled, flipped his hands and re-inserted the way of heaven on the ground under his feet.
It's like drawing an invisible moat.
"One step away." Xin Jing finally let go of Tiandao's hand, swayed and took a step back, looking at his knife, "I'm here."
Arslen raised his fist suddenly, and shouted loudly with red eyes: "Da Yuan's family!"
Countless Dayuan soldiers raised their fists and screamed at the same time: "Dayuan's family!"
Xin Jing also raised his fist and shouted loudly: "Let me die, and my soul will guard the territory!" Large chunks of blood wet the armor, and he shouted hoarsely: "The one who breaks Canaan in the future must be I am the son of Beiyang Xin family!"
With the remnant soldiers behind us weeping together, Ji Baiyue raised his strong bow and shouted amidst the roars of countless compatriots: "Let me die, and my soul guard the land!"
Beiyang is immortal.
Xin Jing straightened up and fell down, lying in the mud and blood. Xin Jing's hair tie was also broken in the air, and his hair was messed up.
If it is broken, it is broken.
Xin Jing thought helplessly.
Anyway, see you soon.
spring is coming.
Go home.
Xin Jing, the eldest son of King Yan of Beiyang, died in the battle of Wanze in the spring of Hongxing's fifty-fourth year.
In winter, King Ping returned triumphantly and brought Xin Yi, the only son of the Xin family in Beiyang, into the city of Shanyin. The prince divided the 300,000 Beiyang army in the name of splitting, Sanjin was split, and the Yan Palace was never heard of again.
Another four years.
The city of Posuo was burned, and King Ping executed Posuo for felony treason. Dumb Xinyi was brought to Kyoto by Pingding Wang Baijiu, and studied under Zuo Kaizhi of Dali Temple.
Another four years.
Dayuan is back.
Xin Yi was crowned King of Yan, and joined forces with the Qiyan tribe to attack Arslen, save Shangjin, and break through Canaan. Climb to Canaan, just one word.
"The one who broke Canaan is the son of my Beiyang Xin family."
Another March.
Tang Wang rebelled.
The emperor died suddenly, and the prince died in the chaos. At that time, King Xin Yi of Yan led the Beiyang Army to the south of Jiangtang to conspire against Wang Baijiufen, the king of Pingding. Xiao Jin, the envoy of the Jingwei Division, covered the yellow robe for the King of Yan at the foot of Luyi Mountain, and proclaimed himself emperor on his knees.
King Yan ascended the throne.
Beiyang and Sanjin are collectively called "Jing".
Calm person.
To calm down the rivers.
