Yuan Feng did not live in the harem, but lived in the Wuying Hall of the former dynasty. In the dead of night, the King of Han, who had worked hard all day, was lying down and reading "The Iron Age".
When he was fascinated by the sight, a guard suddenly came to report that Ye Kai, the commander of the imperial guard, wanted to see him. Yuan Feng hurriedly put down his clothes and came out to meet him. In the living room, three people were waiting for him.
The one dressed in black is Ye Kai. The other old man with very similar facial features to Ye Kai, but with a more chic and calm look is Ye Kai's father, Ye Tianxing, a world-famous swordsman.
And the girl standing on one side, looking quite uneasy in every gesture, turned out to be Xia Qinxin!
Today, Xia Qinxin is no longer the girl who fled with Yuan Feng, but is the empress of the Southern Han Dynasty, the main obstacle to her unification of the world.
Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment. What Ye Tianxing did was too unbelievable. He actually kidnapped the Queen of the Southern Han Dynasty overnight. Even though he was always quick-witted, he was caught off guard.
"Master Ye, what are you doing?" Yuan Feng was speechless.
"There's nothing else to say. Aren't you all the children of Emperor Wu? Why don't you recognize your ancestors and return to the clan today? Let's make it clear who is the sister and who is the brother. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea to arrange things for the future. You two, come on
If the war breaks out, silk and cloth from Suzhou and Hangzhou will not be transported, and the lives of the people will be affected."
"If you are not related by blood, it doesn't matter. You can just get married. Don't be a queen. Being an imperial concubine is not the same. Those under your command can still enjoy the glory and wealth. Yuan Feng is not a person who has no capacity.
I’m sure they won’t embarrass them. They are all sons and daughters of the Han family, so what’s the point of fighting over each other for the emperor’s position?”
Ye Tianxing spoke eloquently, while Yuan Feng and Xia Qinxin were speechless. This old man was too powerful.
After a long while, Yuan Fengcai said: "It is true that the war can no longer be fought. Zhang Shicheng went against the grain and led the wolf into the house, trapping the people in fire and water. He finally drove out the Tartars and overthrew the tyranny. If we continue to fight, we will lose the public opinion, not me."
The original intention is that since the Queen is here today, we might as well talk straight to the point about how to unite the two Han Dynasties into one."
Xia Qinxin didn't have much interest in sitting on the throne of the queen. To overthrow the Zhou Dynasty and overthrow the tyranny was to avenge her father and fulfill her mother's wish. Now that the Zhou Dynasty no longer exists, there is really no need to continue this war.
.
Moreover, she already had a good impression of Yuan Feng, and more than a year of separation did not make this feeling less intense, but rather intensified, so she firmly disagreed with Mu Ying's assassination plan.
However, the girl's reserve and pride made her still very stubborn: "How can the two Han Dynasties become one? You are not really the orphan of Emperor Wu."
Yuan Feng was stunned, then smiled and said: "What evidence do you have that I am not true?"
Xia Qin thought: "Then let me ask you, what is your father's name?"
Yuan Feng said: "My father's surname is Liu, his given name is Taoche, and his courtesy name is Ziguang."
Xia Qin smiled heartily: "Look at you, you don't even know your father's real name, but you still have the nerve to say he is his son."
Yuan Feng was shocked: "Isn't that the name?"
"It's not completely wrong, but it's just a pseudonym. My father chose this name for another reason. The surname Liu Mingche was to imitate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the name Liu Ziguang was a hero that the old man admired, but it didn't actually exist.
, it’s just the name of the person in the book.”
Yuan Fengru was struck by lightning, and Xia Qinxin actually revealed such a shocking secret, which made it difficult for him to accept it for a while. However, what Xia Qinxin said was absolutely true. She actually knew that the name Liu Ziguang was in the book, which shows that this person is absolutely
Master some secrets that you don’t know.
"So, what is this name? What is the real name of the father?" At this time, Yuan Feng's voice was already trembling.
"I have forgotten what era this is called. My mother told me. She must remember it clearly. I know your father's name, but I won't tell you easily. If you want to know, you have to pay some price."
"At what cost, you tell me."
Xia Qinxin was silent for a moment and said: "As this uncle said, the war cannot be fought anymore. If the war continues, the prosperous Jiangnan will become a white land. But with so many officials and soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty, there must be a good one."
That’s where you end up.”
Yuan Feng said: "This is not a problem. Past events will be forgotten. Those who are willing to submit will retain their official positions. The army and navy can also be retained as part of the organizational system."
Xia Qin thought to himself: "The emperor is a man of his word. This uncle can be a witness. I will believe you."
"So, can you tell me your father's name and origin now?"
"Okay, listen carefully, my father... is actually from Japan, and his name is Funakoshi Saio."
Yuan Feng was even more devastated. His father turned out to be a Japanese. Maybe he was a pirate or something. This really made him feel embarrassed!
Yuan Feng didn't want to believe this result, but Xia Qinxin couldn't give any more convincing reason. After all, she had only heard about it.
Log on to 6 and watch the genuine Wulin Empire together. The father’s real name and origin are not the most important. What is important right now is to conquer Jiangnan and unify the world. So this topic will be put aside for the time being. Xia Qinxin will be settled first and a book will be revised and sent to him.
Go to Suzhou and ask them whether they are fighting or drawing.
…
Outside the city of Suzhou, there is a quiet and elegant garden. The bamboo forest is like a wave, the trees are lush and green, and the water is clear and transparent. Men in well-dressed clothes are on duty in the dark. There are sentries three miles away to intercept the cars and horses passing by without permission.
The carriage speeding from the direction of Suzhou City was stopped by the sentry, and it was allowed to pass after showing the voucher. When it arrived at the gate of the manor, Xia Nanfeng and Mu Ying got out of the carriage.
The two of them had just met Xia Nanyu, the man behind the scenes of the Southern Han Dynasty, a legendary woman from the south of the Yangtze River, and the biological mother of Xia Qinxin, who had a touching and heart-wrenching love story with the former Emperor Wu.
After many checks, the two finally arrived in front of the hall. A female official told them that the lady was chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall and they had to wait for half an hour.
Xia Nanfeng said dissatisfied: "We have something important to report, so we can't delay it."
The female official said stiffly: "When Madam is reciting sutras, she cannot be interrupted even if the sky falls."
Xia Nanfeng was speechless towards this sister who was many years older than herself and could only wait patiently.
After half an hour, the lady the female official mentioned, Xia Nanyu, showed up.
Thirty years ago, the Suzhou socialite and the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River is now close to fifty years old, but her elegance is still the same as before. She looks like a woman in her thirties, with a graceful appearance, an extraordinary bearing, and a skin as smooth as gelatin and black hair.
, every gesture is impressive.
It is said that Xia Nanfeng is Xia Nanyu's biological sister, and she should have similar figure and appearance. However, in fact, the much younger Xia Nanfeng has no way to compare with this sister. Even Xia Nanyu's biological daughter Xia Qinxin is exactly the same.
A eldest girl in her youth is a little inferior compared to her mother.
"Sister, please forgive me!"
Xia Nanfeng and Mu Ying knelt on the ground together.
Xia Nanyu's face didn't change. She sat on the chair and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
The voice is as clear and sweet as an oriole, making people feel friendly and warm when listening to it.
The two of them did not dare to relax at this time, and said solemnly: "Her Majesty the Queen has been kidnapped."
A trace of surprise flashed in Xia Nanyu's eyes, but it quickly calmed down. She stretched out her hand to peel an orange and asked softly: "Have you been taken to the capital?"
"Sister, how did you know?" Xia Nanfeng asked in surprise.
"It's okay. Qinxin will be back safe and sound in two days. You go back and prepare first."
"What are you preparing for?" Mu Ying asked puzzledly.
"Explain to the civil and military officials that everyone surrenders. Only by surrendering now can the benefits be maximized. If you insist on fighting, you will ruin what you have already obtained. That's it, you guys."
After saying that, Xia Nanyu went into the back hall, leaving Xia Nanfeng and Mu Ying looking at each other.
Surrender? Could it be that after more than ten years of hard work, we just surrendered?
Xia Nanfeng and Mu Ying returned to Suzhou full of worries, secretly convened a meeting of civil and military ministers in the palace, and explained the disappearance of the empress (they dared not say that she was kidnapped) and Mrs. Xia's intentions. Everyone was in an uproar.
The Southern Han Dynasty was a complex complex, with heroes, chaebols, academicians, and maritime business groups all planning to get a share of the future Han Dynasty, and everyone invested a lot of energy in this small court.
Money and various resources were surrendered so lightly, without even a decent battle, which is really unacceptable to everyone.
Under the excitement of the crowd, even Mu Ying could not control the situation, and the meeting broke up unhappy.
That night, Nan Feng was still scratching his head in his own bedroom in the Little Palace, unable to do anything. Suddenly he heard rapid footsteps outside. He looked up and saw Mu Ying rushing in.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Nanfeng subconsciously covered her open collar.
"They are unwilling to surrender and have mutinied! Five battalions of soldiers and horses are rushing this way. We can't resist it at all. If we don't leave, it will be too late!" Mu Ying was anxious and sweating profusely.
As if to verify his words, rapid footsteps and banging sounds were heard in the distance, which was particularly harsh in the silent night of the water town.
"What should we do?" Xia Nanfeng was at a loss.
"Let's go, I'll protect you!" Mu Ying pulled out the long knife from behind, paused and then added as if she had made a lot of determination: "I'll protect you for the rest of my life!".
At this time, the rebels had begun to attack the palace. The palace guards were weak and the gate was about to be breached soon. Mu Ying pushed Xia Nanfeng to the guards and stepped forward to fight with her sword, blocking the rebels' offensive. Xia Nanfeng was anxiously behind.
