Chapter 350 Crisis (please vote)

Yang Yi continued:

"After that, Duan Ruo and Prince Yi's Mansion fought to the death. It wasn't until the Great Zhou Dynasty arrived in Huzhou - that is, the year I left that the winner was decided.

"In the years when the two factions were fighting, each spent a lot of money, including money spent seeking help from the Central Plains.

“Therefore, after Duan Ruo came to power, the treasury had insufficient financial resources to support his immediate war against Dongzi, so he began to recuperate.

"The strategy he adopted was to let Dongzi go, and at the same time, he took advantage of the situation in the Zhou Dynasty, when the generals were tired, and the old and new generals were inactive, to launch an attack on the Zhou Dynasty, plunder property, and enrich his family."

Fu Zhen still gritted his teeth when mentioning this episode after so many years: "It turns out that there is another reason why Duan Ruo stepped on the Central Plains! In order to realize his ambition, the Central Plains went through more than ten years of war. We have lost so many heroes and good generals! This man will never be able to atone for his sins!"

Yang Yi nodded: "If it weren't for his ambition, Da Zhou wouldn't have to endure so many twists and turns, and he wouldn't be in this situation now."

Fu Zhen calmed down and said, "Please continue."

Mrs. Ning held up the lamp herself, and the light from the glazed lamp dimly illuminated the hall. Yang Yi's deep face looked as sharp as a bronze sculpture under the lamp.

“Just when Duan Ruo invaded the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, changes occurred within the Dongzi Kingdom.

"Jin Xu and his sister, Princess Yilan, were born to the Queen Yuan of the old King Dongzi. However, the Queen passed away early. As her successor entered the palace and gave birth to princes one after another, the situation of the siblings became very difficult.

"In order to protect her younger brother from growing up safely, Princess Yilan suffered a lot of grievances in the palace, but in the end she asked her successor Wu to provoke the old King Dongzi and marry her to King Yi.

"Princess Yilan passed away suddenly just a year after her marriage. The reason given by Prince Yi's Mansion was a sudden illness. Jin Xu didn't believe it. After several years of dormancy, he accumulated some strength and began to go to Dayue to investigate.

"But Prince Yi's Mansion was no longer there at that time, so he could only look around for insiders who had escaped from the Prince's Mansion."

"Later, the old King Dongzi's health deteriorated day by day, and Empress Wu and the prince she gave birth to began to plan to compete with Jin Xu for the throne.

"Jin Xu had to worry about his own safety first. Fortunately, he succeeded later.

"After he ascended the throne, Da Yue and Da Zhou were already at loggerheads. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he found the servants who had served Princess Yilan at that time - that is, Lian Chong Zhou Yi and his gang.

“They confirmed that Princess Yilan was killed.

"On the night she died, she and Yi Wang Duan Xuan returned to their home from somewhere else. They met Duan Ruo on the way. The two had a dispute. Her husband Duan Xuan pushed her into the house. Duan Ruo took the opportunity to escape, but Duan Ruo had originally There was a chance to stop, but in order to pursue Duan Huan, he killed her without hesitation. "

Fu Zhen took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

In the struggle for power, women are always the ones who can be trampled on at will!

But now is not the time to crusade against the world.

What Yang Yi said was all about the dispute between Da Yue and Dong Zi. If we put it in Da Zhou's case, the chronological order should be as follows:
In the year when the Zhou army entered Huzhou, Duan Ruodou defeated King Yi and proclaimed himself emperor. After the death of Princess Yilan, King Yi gave birth to many children with his step-concubine. The second son Duan Mian has grown up, and King Yi had already sent him to the Central Plains in the name of expulsion.

In this year, Duan Ruo wiped out all the people in Prince Yi's Mansion, except for secretly giving birth to an heir in the Central Plains - Duan Mian, the second son of Prince Yi from Xu Yin's branch.

On the night of the bloody battle in Huzhou, Yang Yi left Huzhou City for some reason and traveled to Dayue. Then he was taken as a prisoner by Duan Ruo, the new emperor of Dayue.

Jin Xu was looking for the cause of his sister's death, and his target was King Yi. But when he found out that the cause of his sister's death was closely related to Dayue King Duan Ruoye, it was inevitable that he would wander around. During this period, he got acquainted with Yang Yi and helped Yang Yi get out of trouble and return to the Central Plains.

This was the third year of the Great Zhou Dynasty after the Central Plains was settled.

In the following years, the royal family of the Dongzi Kingdom also began to fight for the right to inherit the throne, and Jin Xu had to leave Princess Yilan behind and stay in Dongzi to deal with it. "After he ascended the throne, Da Yue and Da Zhou were at loggerheads." This proves that this was also the year when Liang Ning went to the northwest - the eighth year of Sheng Yuan.

In the years after the eighth year of Shengyuan, Duan Ruo, the king of Dayue, faced off against Dazhou while still searching for Xu Yin.

While Jin Xu continued to search while the two countries were at war, he found the lianren Zhouyi and his group left by King Yi to Duan Mian, and thus found out the truth behind the murder of Princess Yilan.

Just as he finished thinking about it secretly, Yang Yi continued: "After Jin Xu knew the whole story, he decided to avenge Yilan. In the years when Da Yue and Da Zhou fought, although Jin Xu did not participate openly, he led his troops to blockades several times. The Da Yue army was unable to escape eastward, and it was precisely because Dongzi had no chance for Duan Ruo to take advantage of that he had no choice but to fight against Da Zhou, and finally stayed in Kyoto and was killed by Pei Zhan. "

——So when Jin Xu knew the truth, around the sixteenth year of Shengyuan, Yang Yi was already being targeted by his own brother, and Liang Ning died because of it.

Fu Zhen nodded slowly: "Princess Yilan died in Dayue. The two murderers were both members of Dayue's royal family. Jin Xu naturally regarded Dayue as his enemy. Duan Ruo killed Princess Yilan and later died in the Zhou army because he was desperate. If he were still alive, his subordinates would naturally regard Dongzi as a thorn in their side."

Yang Yi nodded: "Jin Xu still underestimated Duan Ruo. Duan Ruo used the same trick as King Yi back then. He fostered one of the princes in the Lian family."

"I know this. Before our General Pei led his troops to break through the city, this prince ran away with his people in advance. His name is Lian Yang." After saying this, Fu Zhen's expression changed again, ""No wonder there was news not long ago. There is news of friction between Dongzi and Otsuki. It seems that the big moon force that threatens Dongzi is most likely to be defeated. "

"These three generals of Dongzi were originally generals under the eldest son of the Empress Dowager Wu of Dongzi." Yang Yi turned his body completely, "The Empress Dowager Wu colluded with Duan Ruoyou back then and also tried to Help him marry Princess Yilan, but the old King Dongzi married Princess Yilan to King Yi because of his old relationship. "

Fu Zhen suddenly realized: "Duan Ruo himself had colluded with the Empress Dowager Wu. Although the Empress Dowager Wu died, it was impossible for all her old subordinates in the court to be killed. So Lian Yang, who was lucky enough to escape, took the opportunity to gather these people and continue to cause harm to all countries. !”

"Whether this is true or not is not known for sure, but from the analysis of the struggle between Duan Ruo and Yi Wang Duan Huan to this day, only Lian Yang is in the best interest.

"Since Dayue was destroyed by Pei Zhan last year, Dayue immediately exposed Xu Yin's incident, which shows that Dayue will not let go of the Central Plains.

"In short, although Lian Yang's remnants are in decline, if he captures Dongzi, or joins forces with Empress Dowager Wu and others to regain power, Dongzi will definitely have no peace."

If Duan had protected Lian Yang as his last bargaining chip, he must have had hope in him.

Just like King Yi left Duan Mian behind.

But Duan Mian died, and Xu Yin, the last bloodline in Prince Yi Palace, was completely eliminated because he killed Liang Ning and participated in the deposed prince's brother-killing.

Therefore, in the imperial power battlefield of Dayue, Lian Yang became the party most likely to make a comeback!
"You are right! With Dongzi's national strength as the backing, Lianyang's comeback is just around the corner. Although this battle does not concern the Great Zhou Dynasty, Dongzi is not guaranteed, and it will definitely affect the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future. Lian Yang will eventually extend his black hand to From the Central Plains!" Fu Zhen raised his head and looked at Yang Yi: "So now - I will guide you into the palace now and let you tell the emperor the details in person?"

As the eldest son of the emperor and empress, he was also one of the thousands of Zhou people. No one would remain indifferent to such an important matter.

If it were just a war between Dongzi and Da Yue, Da Zhou would only need to pay attention to it. However, Lian Yang still harbored such ambitions and turned half of Dongzi's troops against him. We must not stand by and watch!

After taking care of Dongzi, the next target must be Dazhou!
Yang Yi brought such important news, and now Dazhou is facing the dilemma of inheriting the throne. It is a good thing for Dazhou that he can take this opportunity to return to the palace!
"No."

Just when Fu Zhen was full of expectations, Yang Yi clearly uttered these two words...

He looked directly at Fuzhen, his expression as calm as a dark mirror: "I didn't want to enter the palace.

"The reason why I found you is that you are Mr. Ning's granddaughter, and you are Pei Zhan's wife. No matter which level of identity you are, I am very trustworthy. In my opinion, conveying this news to the court No one is more suitable than you or Pei Zhan."

"You don't want to enter the palace?" Mrs. Ning said in surprise. As someone outside the imperial court, she was obviously more concerned about this. "Did you know -"

"Sister," before Mrs. Ning could finish speaking, Yang Yi stretched out his hand to stop her words, "If I wanted to enter the palace, I wouldn't have told you so much. On this trip, I was just here to find someone. Yours."

Both mother and daughter opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

He had disappeared for twenty-four years. He was neither dead nor injured. He had many opportunities to return to the palace to recognize his relatives, but he did not.

The only two times he had the idea of ​​returning to the palace were once when he was being chased in Huzhou, and once when he sensed the hidden danger in Dazhou.

A short distance away, there were his biological parents who had been searching for him for twenty-four years, but he...

Fu Zhen calmed down: "I heard that the people who attacked you at the Huzhou Pier were also Dayue people. Who are these people?"

"They are Duan Ruo's people." Yang Yidao, "They have been trying to catch me for so many years."

"Did they know who you were from the beginning?"

Yang Yi glanced at her and said, "Yes."

Fu Zhen's expression became serious: "Did they know about it from the night you left Huzhou?"

Yang Yi looked away and nodded in reply after a long time: "You are right."

Fu Zhen didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He was unable to escape for five years and was not killed. I am afraid that the reason why he was imprisoned was inseparable from his status as the eldest son of Emperor Zhou. In other words, in the first five years after Yang Yi disappeared, King Dayue It is very possible that he knows his identity and has an ulterior motive for imprisoning him.

It was logical that Lian Ruan was suspected of having been in contact with Yang Yi so early.

Dayue suddenly imprisoned a Central Plains man. How could the people of Yiwangfu, who were their political enemies, not pay attention to this?

They discovered that this was Yang Yi, and they discovered that Yang Yi, whose whereabouts even the emperor and empress of Zhou Dynasty did not know, was still alive and in Dayue. This was a fatal clue.

So many years later, the murder in Baiyu Hutong became an opportunity for Xu Yin and his gang. Through Lian Rong, Xu Yin learned a lot of information about the eldest son of Emperor Zhou.

However, I had never seen the pile of corpses in the murder with my own eyes, nor had I expected that it was not the real Yang Yi.

Thinking back further, why Yang Yi disappeared back then, and why he was captured and imprisoned in Dayue after his disappearance, makes people dare not think deeply.

She tried her best to bring the topic back: "I wonder why you decided to go to Beijing after you were injured seven years ago?"

Yang Yi raised his head slightly: "At that time, the war between the two countries was in full swing, and the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty was very unfavorable. With my identity, if it fell into the hands of the Great Moon King again, it would pose a threat to the Great Zhou Society at that time.

"Because even if there are people in Great Zhou who don't want me to live, I know that those heroes who fought together in the past will still not watch me die. The battle situation is changing rapidly, and Duan Ruo is full of tricks. If there is a little hesitation on the battlefield, he will miss the opportunity. The Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be destroyed.

"I didn't want Dayue to have the opportunity to hold me hostage and threaten the Zhou army when the two armies were confronting each other, so after much thought, I decided to go to the capital. However, God's calculations are not as good as those of others. Only after I entered the capital did I realize that my greatest danger was not It comes from Duan Ruo, but from my relatives who are closely related to each other."

Fu Zhen was silent for a while.

Yang Yi in front of him was still calm, but who could ignore the hint of concern at the corners of his raised eyes?

Mrs. Feng mentioned some details of the time when he disappeared. She said that when the emperor was preparing a situation and waiting for the enemy to enter the battle, he clearly saw his own son unexpectedly entering the battle but did not call him back. Instead, he showed his face to lure the enemy. The main force of the army!

If this is true, then the act of the deposed prince instructing Prince Rong and his son to kill his brother could indeed chill Yang Yi's heart.

Fu Zhen calmed down: "You have suffered."

This is the twenty-fourth year since he traveled far away from home and even served as a prisoner in Otsuki for five years.

Originally, Fu Zhen wanted to find out the answers to many of her mysteries. For example, why did he go to Dayue after leaving Huzhou? But she couldn't ask at this time.

Just as she knew how much the Queen missed this child these years, she could no longer persuade Yang Yi to see her.

Whether it was becoming a prisoner, being hunted down repeatedly, or wandering around without a fixed address, he had already mentioned all the curious things in the past, but there was no doubt that thinking back on them must be torture for him.

Glancing outside the door, she softened her tone: "It's getting late, mother, why don't I have someone pass the meal to the flower hall? Let's sit down and chat slowly."

Mrs. Ning suppressed the sadness on her face and nodded towards Yang Yi: "It's exactly what Zhen'er said. You are my father's old friend and also our distinguished guest. It is my greatest regret that I could not wait for you to come. . If you really come today, after seven years, I will treat this place as my home, and I will have people clean up the courtyard for you to live in. "

"That's impossible." Yang Yi refused flatly, "Sister, I live alone now. I will take this meal. We will go to the city to find an inn to stay."
