AD 1223, the first year of Dingyuan of the Zhou Dynasty, late autumn. . On the bank of the West Lake, on the lonely mountain. His Majesty the Emperor held his daughter's hand and stood in front of a tomb. This was the tomb of the former Empress Dowager of the Kingdom of Jin. However, the tombstone said Yang family. There was no title of honor, no grand funeral, just a simple tomb. , a father and daughter standing in front of the tomb to express their condolences. The tomb was dug by Yang Kang himself. This was Concubine Rong's last wish. She was from the Jin Kingdom and did not want to be buried in an imperial tomb of another country, so Yang Kang chose a beautiful place to bury her by the West Lake, not to mention her. His identity is really not suitable for a high-profile funeral. Concubine Rong became ill after Yang Kang brought her to Lin'an City. Yang Kang hid the news from the outside world from her. However, the news of the demise of the Jin Kingdom and the murder of Wan Yanxu finally reached Concubine Rong. In the ears, no matter how good the medical skills of the imperial doctors are, there is nothing they can do to a woman who is overly sad. This is a heart disease that cannot be cured. After several months of delay, the Empress Dowager of the Kingdom of Jin died of illness in Lin'an City at the age of twenty-four. Yang Kang's pity for this woman was greater than his love. Looking back on Concubine Rong's life, she had never lived for him. She had always been a pawn in the hands of others until the last moment. Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor felt a touch of sadness and self-blame in his heart. This thing is that he is too selfish. "Your mother is a good woman." Yang Kang said to his daughter. Xiaobuhui didn't respond, just looked at the tomb in front of her, knowing in her heart that she was afraid that she would never see her mother again. Her mother had told her to listen to her father and get along well with the women in the palace. She is all very good, but she doesn't like it, the little girl thought stubbornly. Back to the palace, Yang Kang handed his daughter to Bao Xiruo, who cherished his granddaughter very much. At this time, three months had passed since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, and the court was very peaceful. However, the reaction among the scholars was violent. Some great scholars even committed suicide for the sake of reputation, which caused quite a stir. Some were unwilling to die. Many literati wrote satirical poems. They did not dare to blatantly write about the current emperor, but wrote about Lu Bu during the Three Kingdoms. Marquis Wen Lu Bu was known as a domestic slave with three surnames. He betrayed his old master for money and power. He was a capricious villain. Yang Kang was first named Wanyan and later Zhao. Both Wanyan Honglie and Zhao and Ju, descendants of the Zhao family, were Death at the hands of Yang Kang is similar to Lu Bu's experience. Those literati used this to insinuate that Yang Kang was a repetitive villain. It can be seen from this that when educated people curse people, they beat around the bush and do not use curse words. Yang Kang laughed it off. Guys who only dare to shoot cold arrows in the dark will not achieve great things. There is no need to arrest them. Just cut off their source of income. There are not many people in this world who are not willing to give up for five buckets of rice. Truly upright people An honest person deserves his respect. During this period, Prince Zhao Hong colluded with some ministers to plan a coup, but was captured by the Imperial City Secretary before they could complete their discussions. Zhao Hong was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the clan. In addition, the entire Song Dynasty Nothing major happened in the country, but as soon as winter came, bad news came. Meng Zongzheng and Jia She, the leaders of the two major military groups of the Great Zhou Dynasty, both passed away less than a month apart, which caused quite a shock to the army. This incident had nothing to do with Yang Kang. Both of them had relapsed old illnesses. Due to physical and mental exhaustion, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, His Majesty the Emperor promoted Meng Gong to replace Meng Zongzheng. Because Jia Sidao was still young, the land of Huaiyin was handed over to Zhao Fan. This year, two generals of the Zhou Dynasty died, Tuo Lei died in Mongolia, and Lou Shidao's Ming Dynasty was still recuperating. The world entered a rare period of peace. However, under the seemingly calm surface, there was an undercurrent. With the exposure of Yang Kang's life experience, those former enemies will bring a lot of trouble to His Majesty the Emperor. On New Year¡¯s Eve, banquets and feasts continued in the palace. This is the first festival of the new dynasty, and it must be held grandly no matter what. His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers are drinking, and the concubines and ladies in the harem are talking. There is a harmonious and festive atmosphere, and in a building in the harem In the mourning hall, Xiao Buhui was offering incense to his mother and wishing her well. Akko, who has been responsible for taking care of and protecting the little princess, was with her. Just when Akko was about to leave with Xiaobuhui, a palace maid suddenly appeared and attacked Akko. Akko was forced to fight and shouted for help. However, The wind in the human palm was overbearing and fierce, and the movement was light. It was beyond A Ke's ability to resist, and he was knocked to the ground in just a few moves. The palace maid picked up Xiao Buhui and disappeared into the darkness. ¡°Let Wanyankang come to Jueqing Valley to save his daughter!¡± The palace maid said coldly before leaving. A Ke endured the pain and ran out to report the news. The sudden incident of the little princess being kidnapped brought the banquet in the palace to a hasty end. Yang Kang saw from the black palm prints on A Ke that the palace maid should be Iron Palm Lotus Qiu Qianchi. He left Zhu Qiu Qianchi originally thought that he would have the opportunity to assassinate Gongsun Zhi later, but Gongsun ZhiHe followed Ouyang Feng without looking for Qiu Qianchi, and finally Qiu Qianchi was let go by Murong Yan. After Qiu Qianchi escaped from Lin'an Mansion, she searched everywhere for the whereabouts of her brother Qiu Qianren. To this end, she returned to Tiezhang Peak, went to Zhongnan Mountain, and searched carefully in Jueqing Valley, but she did not find Qiu Qianren's whereabouts. She guessed that her brother must have died after leaving Jueqing Valley. If he wanted to save her, it would most likely be in the Song Dynasty. However, he had not heard of his brother breaking into the prison of the Song Dynasty. Qiu Qianren seemed to have disappeared out of thin air in the world. While she was searching hard, the story about Yang Kang spread. From this, Iron Palm Lotus learned that Wanyan Kang and the Emperor of Song were the same person. The Emperor of Song was a martial arts master. If her brother had kidnapped Song in order to save her, Iron Palm Lotus would If he were the emperor of the country, he would probably be killed by Yang Kang. ¡°In this case, my brother may have died at the hands of Wanyankang. So, Qiu Qianchi returned to Lin'an City and secretly collected information, but did not find any news that Qiu Qianren was imprisoned. She heard that Yang Kang loved the little princess in the palace, so she sneaked in quietly during the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace. , disguised as a palace maid to find out where the little princess was, and thus kidnapped Yang Buhui. If his brother is imprisoned, Wanyankang will naturally take him to make an exchange. If his brother dies, Qiu Qianchi will fight Wanyankang in Jueqing Valley to avenge his brother. Iron Palm Lotus left the palace with the little princess in her arms and headed outside Lin'an City. She wanted to leave the imperial city as soon as possible to avoid being trapped by the imperial army. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Qiu Qianchi was secretly surprised that the little girl in his arms didn't cry or fuss, nor was she frightened. She was very quiet, as if she wasn't being kidnapped, but just going out on a normal trip. The little princess Yang Buhui looked at the palace that was getting away. She couldn't say she was afraid. She just felt empty in her heart. Her mother was gone, so it made no difference where she was. In the palace, there was an imperial grandmother who doted on her. Her father, who loved her dearly, had several concubines who tried their best to please her. Yes, the people in the palace are all very nice, but I don¡¯t like them. (To be continued.)
