In the main hall of the palace, Mrs. Nanzi was reviewing the memorial.
She was dressed in a dark gold patterned robe, with a jade-embellished belt tied around her slender waist. Her shoulders looked as if they were cut into pieces, her waist was as plain as usual, her neck was long and elegant, and she was fragrant.
After a while, Nanzi picked up the pen and wrote down the instructions on the bamboo slip. He lifted up the sleeve of his right robe with his left hand, gently put the pen back on the inkstone, raised his eyebrows, and said solemnly to the next minister: "You have not slacked off, I am very pleased.
."
The ministers, as if they were pardoned, hurriedly kowtowed.
According to the etiquette system, the wife of the king is called his wife by the king, and the wife calls herself a child. However, there are also wives who follow the king and call themselves widows.
That's what Nanzi is like.
This is not only a verbal habit, but the real person in power in the Wei Kingdom is not Wei Linggong, but a woman like her.
Because Nanzi also has another identity, the princess of Song Dynasty.
The Wei and Song Dynasties have a very deep relationship. After Ji Fa destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the merchant survivors were unwilling to be controlled by the Zhou Dynasty and launched a large-scale rebellion. After the rebellion was suppressed, the Yin and Shang merchant survivors were divided into two parts.
Some of the seven tribes of the Yin and Shang Dynasties were restricted to live in the ruins of Chaoge. The country was named Wei, and their monarch was Kang Shufeng, the ninth son of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, who controlled them;
The other part is the descendant of the royal family of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, who founded the Song Dynasty and made Wei Ziqi, the elder brother of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, the king of the country to worship the Shang Dynasty.
This is the origin of the two countries Wei and Song.
Therefore, the bloodline of the Song Dynasty royal family is actually the descendants of the Yin and Shang royal families.
The same is true for Nanzi.
And she is even more special.
As each volume of memorials was reviewed, there were fewer and fewer ministers in the palace, until there was no one left.
The left and right people also retreated silently. Nanzi pressed his eyebrows and suddenly said: "Since you are here, why don't you show up?"
Bang!
A flame suddenly rose from the center of the palace.
Different from ordinary flames that emit light and heat, this flame has no temperature at all. Instead, it makes the hall become extremely cold. There is a faint shadow of a beast tumbling inside, and a voice sounds: "Nanzi, the water and fire spirit beads are what you need to care about.
Things will never allow failure this time!"
"Now that the world is in chaos, and even the three great powers of Jin, Qi, and Chu are in danger of losing their country if they are not careful, how can we, the defender of our country, take it lightly?"
Nanzi said: "Only if the Wei Kingdom continues to exist, can the demon clan be protected. Which one is more important? I don't need you, the heavenly demon, to teach me!"
"Nanzi, now that you have grown up, you are indeed disobedient!"
The sky demon said coldly: "Don't forget, you have half of our clan's blood in your body. If I hadn't taken action back then, your demon blood would have been boiling and you would have died long ago!"
"It's just a matter of taking what you need!"
Nanzi's face was expressionless: "You trained me just to install the race in the human kingdom, and then use the five spirit beads to seize the fire of humanity to pass on the talent of the demon race so that it can reoccupy this land.
Oh!"
The demon Xieyan moved: "What? You don't believe this method can be achieved?"
The corners of Nanzi's pretty lips pulled upward, giving off a hint of a smile but not a smile.
"The five spirits are the five original powers that were born when the great god Pangu created the world. Although the five spirit beads were created by the human emperor Nuwa, they are used to suppress the five monsters and maintain the stability of this world. All races are treated equally!"
Tian Yao said: "In ancient times, the human race learned the innate instincts of the beast race, created words, and forged tools before they could rise. Now our race can inherit the fire inheritance again. This is the reincarnation of heaven!"
Nanzi was slightly startled: "Did the human race's writing come from the beast race?"
In her impression, the beast race has always been a symbol of ignorance and stupidity. Although she knew that in ancient times, the beast race created by the Earth Emperor Shennong himself was far more powerful than humans, the impression was difficult to change.
The demon was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something, and finally explained: "Human writing was first transmitted by Feipeng."
Nanzi raised his eyebrows: "The ancient god enshrined in Xuanyuan Qiu?"
"The three emperors were transformed from the origin of the great god Pangu, and Feipeng was the first innate being in the world. He created divine texts and understood the way of heaven, which were passed down to Xuanyuan, the first holy emperor of the human race. Later, Cangjie observed the traces of all beasts, and then the human race came into being.
The writing has been passed down to this day!”
The sky demon said: "The body is complete but the spirit is immortal. The accumulation of knowledge and the inheritance of fire make the race truly powerful. Although our race is the degeneration of the ancient beast race, it can be transformed into a human body and possess wisdom that is not inferior to that of the human race.
Firewood is just what you need!"
Nanzi was moved.
This was the first time she heard these ancient secrets told by the Sky Demon. Apparently, the appearance of the Water and Fire Spirit Orb made the Sky Demon intend to obtain it, so he explained it to her.
In this case, if she continues to violate the rules, she will definitely turn against him.
Not wanting to fall out with this mysterious heavenly demon, Nanzi pondered for a moment and asked: "Mi Zixia sent back the news that Jiang Guo is not interested in marriage. What are you going to do?"
"The war between Jiang and Jin Qi is approaching the limit. As long as it is prevented from swallowing up Chu, the fate of the country will change. By then, the Water and Fire Spirit Pearl will change on its own!"
The sky demon let out a deep laugh: "Don't worry, the human race and various countries are constantly at war, and you are by no means alone!"
…
…
Chu State.
Shouchun.
Sun Wu and Wu Zixu stood at the top of the city, looking into the distance.
On the horizon, various armies appeared one after another, with a fierce and fierce attitude, swaying the blood rain under the sky.
It seems fierce, but in fact they are armies of various small countries. Most of them only have tens of thousands of people, but they are fighting endlessly, competing for territory and resources all day long.
Today's Chu State is such a chaotic battlefield. The King of Chu is trapped in the capital of Ying. He only controls the surrounding area of several hundred miles, and all other areas have fallen.
Because of this, the 70,000 Wu troops who escaped from Yingdu five years ago were able to survive, occupy Shouchun, and recruit troops.
Similarly, Wu Zixu also survived with the help of Sun Wu.
Helu was also a hero, capable of bending and stretching. When Qingji retook the Wu Kingdom and he was homeless, even Wu Zixu endured it and asked him to serve again.
"The food and grass in the city can still last for ten days, but Shouchun can't hold it anymore!"
At this time, the overall situation of the war outside the city has been decided. The elite soldiers trained by Sun Wu almost defeated the coalition forces of the three small countries, but Wu Zixu's face showed no joy.
Sun Wu said: "The Shouchun waterway extends in all directions and is an important city in the eastern part of the Chu Kingdom. We abandoned the city and there is no place to stay."
"But on the border, the Wu army is already approaching!"
Wu Zixu said: "Wu is just Jiang's vanguard. As soon as Wu's army moves, Jiang's army will come out. The time left for us is getting less and less. If we are trapped in Shouchun, we are just sitting back and waiting for death!"
How could Sun Wu not know this, but he couldn't think of a solution, so he went on silently.
"Prime Minister! General! Your Majesty, please call!"
At this moment, a guard came to the top of the city to report.
The two of them went to the central mansion, and when they entered the lobby, they saw the deceased King of Yue, Gou Jian, standing side by side with Helu, the former King of Wu.
The most disconcerting thing is that between the two kings, squatting is a huge toad with evil behavior and evil appearance, with the light of humanity in its eyes.
"monster!"
Sun Wu's face darkened, Wu Zixu flipped his palm, and the divine crossbow suddenly appeared. Without saying a word, he shot an arrow straight at the toad.
