family with love beasts

Chapter 44 Xiao Mu Arrives (1)
Emperor Xia Wen was furious at the court, but the Great Xia Dynasty could not come up with a general who could lead troops to fight at this time.After reigning for 25 years, Emperor Xia Wen only felt that the more he sat on the throne, the more unstable he became.

Twenty years ago, the Great Xia Dynasty was still the largest country among the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Da Qi and Da Zhou were only its subordinate states.Once upon a time, among the civil servants of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was Prime Minister Shi who was the head of all the officials, and he had great military exploits. The first king with a different surname in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty—— King Yan.At the same time, Emperor Xia Wen also bestowed the unrivaled glory on Yan Wangfu, bestowing the country's surname——Xia.

Emperor Xia Wen gave the supreme power to the Palace of King Yan and the Prime Minister. Fortunately, although King Yan and the Prime Minister had no intersection, they were also loyal to the court.All of a sudden, the Great Xia Emperor worshiped countless disciples under Prime Minister Shi, and Prime Minister Shi also managed to make the best use of everything.

The nine-rank Zhongzheng system was abolished and the imperial examination system was implemented.It broke the monopoly of power by the nobles and aristocrats, and ushered in a new world for the children of common people.Overhauling the North-South Canal, advocating both business and commerce, and developing economics and commerce, the Great Xia Dynasty had sufficient treasury at that time.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. The new law was not implemented for a while. In the 11th year of Emperor Xia Wen, Prime Minister Shi hurriedly resigned from office and returned home.

No one knew the reason for his resignation, only that after Prime Minister Shi left, Emperor Xia Wen announced at the court that the gate of the Great Xia Dynasty would always be open for Prime Minister Shi and his descendants.

When the emperor said this, all the officials laughed. No one knew that Prime Minister Shi and Mrs. Shi were deeply in love with each other. They only had one son, but they were born idiots.

In the fifth year of Emperor Xia Wen, Yan Wang, who was only 20 years old, implemented the twentieth-level military merit title system. This young king with a different surname began to be active in the Daxia political arena with Prime Minister Shi.It is not an exaggeration to describe the two people at that time as having power over the government and the opposition.

The next year, Princess Yan gave birth to a son. King Yan was overjoyed, and Emperor Xia Wen was also overjoyed, and the whole country celebrated together.On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Emperor Xia Wen, Princess Yan disappeared. At this time, Princess Yan was seven months pregnant.Two days later, the old lady beside Concubine Yan brought back a baby girl, this is Princess Ronghua.

As soon as Princess Ronghua was handed over to the King of Yan, the old mother vomited blood and died. The cause of death is unknown, and the whereabouts of Princess Yan are unknown, and her life and death are unknown.King Yan was so angry that he passed out when he heard the bad news. Since then, King Yan has been depressed.

After Princess Ronghua was taken back to Yanwang Mansion, Emperor Xia Wen named her Princess Ronghua with the title of 'Ronghua', enjoying the treatment of a princess, and was even more honorable than all princesses.At the same time, he was given a marriage to His Highness the Crown Prince, and only waited for Princess Ronghua and Empress Ji to marry His Highness the Crown Prince and live in the East Palace, where she will be the mother of the world in the future.

Great Xia Dynasty, Kyoto, Shengjing.Shengjing is the political and cultural seat of Daxia.

As the only residence of a king with a different surname in the Great Xia Dynasty, King Yan’s Mansion has a regular architectural layout, sophisticated craftsmanship, and staggered pavilions, which fully embodies the royal family’s glorious and rich demeanor and the folk’s elegant and elegant charm.Yanwang Mansion consists of two parts: the mansion and the garden.The mansion building is divided into east, middle and west roads, and each road is composed of multi-entry courtyards running through a strict central axis from south to north.In the garden, there are towering ancient trees, numerous strange rocks, surrounded by mountains and water, pavilions, terraces and corridors.

The main house in the backward courtyard on the East Road is named "Qing Anju", which is the living room of King Yan. The two words "Qing An" both reflect King Yan's yearning and love for his concubine.

The courtyards on West Road are relatively small and exquisite, and the main buildings are Nuanshui Pavilion and Henuanyu Pavilion.This is the residence of Prince Yan and Princess Ronghua.

King Yan's son had just sent away the imperial physician who had come from the palace, but the elderly imperial physician entrusted him when he stepped out of the gate of King Yan's mansion: "Your Majesty, King Yan still needs heart medicine for his illness."

Prince Yan nodded, indicating that he remembered it. Fifteen years ago, his mother and concubine disappeared. At that time, he was only four years old and didn't understand anything. He only saw his father holding a baby girl and crying constantly at the portrait of his mother and concubine.The nanny told him that the baby girl was his biological sister.

Afterwards, the father and king destroyed all the portraits of the mother and concubine in the mansion, and he no longer had any interest in government affairs. He took the young him and his younger sister, who were still in their infancy, to stay together in the mansion, shutting the door.

He gradually grew up, and his impression of the concubine mother began to blur. From the nanny, he and his sister's eyes resembled the concubine's mother very much, especially the concubine's appearance, which was ninety percent inherited from the concubine's mother.Watching his young sister grow up day by day, he seemed to be able to see the shadow of his mother and concubine from her.

"Father." Prince Yan called out, but he couldn't make a sound, and he didn't know how to say the next words to his father who was in critical condition.

"It's snowing." King Yan's voice was full of despair. At this time, his cheekbones were a little high and abrupt, which made his entire face even more bony.Especially those hands—hands with dull complexion, dry and emaciated, like wrinkled dry bark, it is unbearable.Who still remembers how vigorous and romantic he was 20 years ago, and was once the dream lover of all the women in the Great Xia Dynasty.But he only fell in love with her, the beauty at a glance, and since then, he has fallen.

"Father, it's my son's fault." Prince Yan knelt in front of the bed. Even though he had a haggard face and was dressed in black, he couldn't hide his extraordinary heroic appearance. .

"Qian Yao, go down and rest, the father only has you." King Yan waved his hands weakly, and closed those bloodshot eyes again.

"Son, leave." Prince Yan glanced at his father, and walked out tall and straight. His father had already fallen, so he must be strong.At this moment, he is still the incomparably noble King Yan's son of Great Xia. At this moment, he will deeply hide his weakness.

"My son, the emperor has come for another imperial edict." The eunuch next to King Yan walked in with a bright yellow imperial edict, which was already the eighth imperial edict.However, King Yan's condition made it difficult to even get out of bed, so how could he lead his troops to the expedition.

Prince Yan threw the imperial decree on the ground, his face was indifferent, but his tone was filled with hatred: "As soon as my sister comes back safely, my father will be able to lead troops to the expedition. Tell Emperor Xia Wen this sentence, don't think I don't know what they did, so I told them not to treat the Yan Palace as fools."

It was the first time for the eunuch who came to deliver the decree to see the Prince of Yan get so angry, he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Calm your anger?" Prince Yan sneered, it was already winter, and his sister hadn't come back yet, his father was already desperate, and he was about to despair too.

The regime in the north is turbulent, but there is still no influence in the south, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe.Common people are always like this, they don't care about national affairs, they just hope to live their lives well.The days between Xia Qianxiao and Shi Yan have been tender and tender.At this time, Xia Qianxiao was lying on the soft couch, Shi Yan was massaging his dear wife hard.

Shi Yan looked at Xia Xiaoxiao, who was binge eating snacks, with a smile in his eyes: "Miss, why are you older than me, but not taller than me?" These days, in order to avoid consummating the room with his wife, he always asked her some silly questions. silly question.
