Hou Kun

Chapter 1 Li Xue
The cold wind blows from the time when the lamp is held, and it howls non-stop.The sky is dark and the clouds are cool and thin.

The first snow this year, I can't wait to arrive at the end of the day.The rustling snow particles filled people's mouths and faces, and they were so dense that they couldn't open their eyes. The Forbidden City was suddenly dyed into a gray dog, crawling motionless in the wind nest.

The palace servants who passed by the palace walls rubbed their hands, clasped their shoulders, and hurried back to the waiting hall, squinting their eyes and looking up at the dark clouds that were getting lower and lower and the deep evening mist in the sky, sighing how it just passed by. In October, the weather is so cold, and this winter is estimated to be difficult.

Soon there was no one on the palace road, and a thin layer of snow gradually accumulated on the road, and the wind drove the snow into a whirl, and rushed all the way to the distance.

Ningshou Palace.

The lantern on the palace gate was swaying in the bitter wind and snow, with a faint yellowish gloomyness, which spilled out from the kraft paper and reflected on the eunuch on duty, casting two hazy shadows.

Two people came out of the gray mist from the palace gate, and the eunuch on duty hurried down.

The blue bricks on the ground began to freeze slightly, and the bottom of the flowerpot stepped on it, but it was not solid, and it slid forward with a "chiliu". Sister Lanxi was holding the oiled paper umbrella in one hand, and the other hand holding the wind lamp was squeezed tightly. Hurry up and push hard,

"Master, walk slowly, the snow will accumulate, this road will be the slipperiest."

Concubine Concubine Gongshun didn't stop, she continued to move forward, this time it was much more secure.

They gradually moved away from the palace gate, and they were surrounded by a vast expanse, as if the two of them were trapped in a huge city at this moment.

She raised her eyes to the north, looked at the darkness of the day, and asked hesitantly, "Tell me, can Guanglu still be on his way today?"

Sister Lanxi looked at the flying snow in the sky, and dared not tell the truth, "Our lord is blessed by God, there is no way he can't catch up. Anyway, going to Kalka, along the imperial road, there are many post stations, and it is snowing , just stay for a few days.”

Concubine Gong Shun's face was faint, "The letter said that Takhaqi might be in the next few days. Guanglu has to catch up with the last meeting, and the flag affairs can be picked up. If it is a few days later, that aunt Min is not easy to get along with, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome."

Takhaqi is the banner owner of the bordered yellow flag. Not long ago, he sent a message that he was dead.The letter mentioned that the first emperor had left a handbook, and later he wanted to leave the inlaid yellow flag to Prince Yi Guanglu to take charge, so he asked Guanglu to go to Khalkha to meet him so that he could hand over the flag affairs to him.

Amin is the eldest son of Takhaqi, who has always been the deputy commander of the banner. In recent years, Takhaqi has been in poor health, and the banner affairs have been burdened on him.When Guanglu caught up with Takhaqi, it was a matter of course to take over. Otherwise, Amin would have some intentions to make the stumbling block look sloppy.

Aunt Lanxi was originally a Jingqi Aunt who respected the imperial concubine. She has been by her side all these years and has long been a confidant: "Amin can't get out of the sky with him alone, and he dares to rebel?"

Concubine Gongshun frowned after hearing this, and bit her lips.

A person in his 40s has a very delicate outline on his face, and his appearance is still gorgeous now, and he looks only in his 30s.It was not unreasonable to be favored by the first emperor back then.

"He didn't dare, but he couldn't help but have someone backing him up!" said Concubine Gong Shun coolly.

Strictly speaking, the first emperor's edict was between two possibilities.Back then, it was only said that in the future, the sixth prince Guanglu would be the master of the flag inlaid with the yellow flag.What he said was a living thing.After all, times have changed, and if the current emperor gave Amin the order, Amin himself would be the first to take over the banner owner. If Guanglu wanted to overturn the old score, and discuss the lawsuit, it would depend on the current holy will to decide.

Naturally, the current emperor would not be willing to hand over the inlaid yellow flag to Prince Yi Guanglu.

Regardless of the other side, the Khalkha's [-] troops are in the hands of the Xianghuang Banner, and Guanglu's military errands are still in his hands, the strength is enough to make people afraid today.

My own son knows it himself.Even if there is a knife outside at this moment, Guanglu will put on a big iron hat and go all the way north at this moment.

"Master Xiandi, Guanglu is a pitiful child. The idea you kept in those years hurt him. Now, he has become a hair in the eyes of others. I know his heart, and he can't retreat. Retired, but I, Ernie, can't just watch the child suffer, I have to do something for him... You can also see in the sky, even today's God is partial, and today there is a blizzard , "Emperor Concubine Gong Shun pinched the Canaan Buddha beads in her hand, clasped her palms together and said to the sky.

Sister Lanxi curled her lips at Qianqing Palace in relief, "If the late emperor leaves a year later, there will be nothing to do there... Alas, the horoscopes are all laid out, and the last stroke is missing... .But our grandpa has a big destiny, with soldiers in his hands, and a yellow flag in his hand, he will appoint someone with great promise in the future!"

The cold night was quiet, and there was no one in the sky under the flying snow. Lan Xi's words were blown by the wind, and they were lightly wrapped into the dark night.

Empress Dowager respectfully supported Lan Xi, took a step, stood firmly in the snow, and exhorted, "Don't say this when you get back to the palace." She knew Lan Xi was cautious, but there was no one at the moment. , Only took a few words.But I still have to warn.

There are many gods in this palace, if one is not paying attention, it will cause trouble for Guanglu.

"Let's go, accompany me to talk to the first emperor, and ask him to bless Guanglu's errand this time."

Two thin figures cuddled up to the lantern and walked towards Fengxian Hall, gradually becoming a blurred light, disappearing into the snowdrops between the vast sky and the earth.

Dark clouds pressed down on the city, spreading continuously towards the northern border of Great Xia.

The snow beads changed all the way, and finally turned into endless snow goose feathers, sprinkled on rivers and mountain ridges, trees withered grass, houses and palaces, and the sky and the earth laid out a painting of ink and ink smudged unevenly. Xia Kingdom's territory is colorful and varied.

On the Great Imperial Road, the sound of horseshoes was heard in the distance, and more than ten shadows emerged from the flying snow, gradually becoming clearer.

A horse jumped out from the side of the road, followed the cavalry, pointed to the front and shouted loudly: "Master, the station is just ahead!"

The thick fur on the hood of the leader had turned white, and he flew past him, continuing to run wildly along the official road.

Ahead, the station finally revealed a warm yellow light in the wind and snow.More than a dozen riders got off their horses and rushed in, heading straight for a house with flickering candles.

The position of the post station on the Dayu Road is very important, and it is the only way to go to Khalkha and Shengjing.

A guard came in last, and Yi Cheng, who opened his mouth in astonishment and hadn't reacted, showed his palace badge, and then waved at the residents in the first hall.

The postman immediately wiped his mouth, and didn't dare to ask any more questions. Guessing that this person meant to chase away people, he hastily commanded cautiously, and invited all the guests who were in the hall and room to be blocked by the wind and snow and who were gossiping and eating Going back to the room, I also retreated to the room and closed the door to wait for orders.

It is very rare for nobles in the palace to come out on business this day.With such an imposing manner, he is not allowed to wait on him.Come on, there is a reason not to be flattered.After hanging around in the post station for a long time, I have seen a lot.I also know that there is no harm in knowing less about the affairs of the nobles. Who doesn't want to keep the guy on the shoulder and eat for a few more years? !
Outside the door, the leader untied the tie on the hood, and the cloak slipped off, and the guard behind him reached out and took it skillfully.

"Disciple Guanglu pays respects to the teacher, the teacher is traveling so fast, I almost missed it."

The leader, Yuli, was long and hooded, with only a jade hairpin on top of his hair tied up in a bun, standing outside the house and talking loudly.As soon as the voice fell, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.
