Chapter 3: wind and rain

Five days after my birthday, my brother took me to see the army.
My father often said that my daughter of the Wang family was far better than ordinary men.
It ’s just that the world of Jie Xie Jin Ge belongs to a man after all, and it is too far away from the pink daughter's gentle hometown.
The home of the daughter of Tianhuang Guiyi is only to be hidden in the shadow of his father, brother, and beloved for a lifetime, and it is just a distant legend for us to kill. I don't have much interest in the army, but it's hard to be curious.
The mother always said that her daughter's curiosity was too heavy, which is not a good thing, but I just have so much curiosity.
The people in the legend, the things in the legend, are particularly mysterious and seductive.
What makes me curious is one person.
This person's name is really heard too much, some people say he is a god, and some people say he is a demon.
Every time his aunt, father and brother mentioned the person's name, his tone became dignified.
Even Zi Zi mentioned the name in a complex tone that I couldn't understand.
He said that it was the blessing of his country to fall to this person, and I am afraid it was also suffering.
More than a month ago, a good news came, and I was heading south for a big victory.
The army only expeditioned the southern Xinjiang barbarians in just nine months. The road was like a bamboo shoot, and all the 27 tribes of the southern Xinjiang returned. The territory of our country expanded more than 600 miles to the south, deterred the Quartet and cut off the retreat south of Shu. The thief was horrified and could not retreat from the sword gate.
The good news came, Asano was excited, only his father seemed to have expected this result, only a faint smile, and a little anxiety amidst the relief. I didn't understand what he was worried about.
A few days later, the army was about to return to the class.
The emperor ordered the prince to lead a hundred officials to meet the city and reward the three armies.
The blood of Nanman washed the general's battle armor, and the sword in the general's hand swept across the frontier land, again shining Jinghua-the only other surnamed prince other than the royal family, the town general with strong military achievements, holding millions King Yuzhang, a heavy soldier, is exactly the same person in the world population as King Demon-Xiaozhang.
From the palace to the market, no one knows the magnificent name of King Yuzhang.
-Born from Luzhou, he joined the army at the age of sixteen and was promoted to the army at the age of eighteen. He joined His Majesty General Jingyuan and went north to conquer the Turks. In the Battle of Shuohe, he led a hundred iron riders and set a plan. After a surprise attack on the enemy, he burned down the grain and grass and killed more than 100 enemies with one person's strength. The corpses were piled into mountains, and he was survived by 21 serious injuries. The Turkic army was severely hit, and it was beaten by the army. It retreated thousands of miles, not only regaining the two states of Shuojiu that had been occupied by the Turks for many years, but also occupying the fertile land 600 kilometers north of Shuohe in one fell swoop.
Xiao Zheng became famous in the First World War. He joined the army from a young age and became a forward vice general. He was heavily weighted by General Jingyuan. During his three years in Bianguan, he repelled more than a hundred invasions of Turkic. Before the battle, he killed and killed thirty-two Turkic generals, including Turkic King Aiko, who also killed his soldier Xiao Xiao, which caused Turkic vitality. Xiao Weiwei was so famous that Jinfeng Ningshuo was called "General Tian".
For four years, the soldiers in the south of Yunnan Province had their own weight, colluded with the Bai Rong tribe, and established themselves as kings. General Ningshuo Xiao Zheng conquered the western expedition. While blocking the enemy forward at Luolangguan, he bypassed Qianzhou and forcibly opened a plank road in the high mountains of Chongshan. He unexpectedly attacked the rebels' confidantes and encountered the rebels and the imperial court. The Ministry of Yi Di, unable to recruit, Xiao Xiao passed the city in a rage, destroyed the Yi tribe, took advantage of the situation to break Bai Rong, regained southern Yunnan, and threw all the 13 rebel leaders to the public. Xiao Yan chased while winning, which lasted for two years, leveled the southwest frontier, captured millions of soldiers with meritorious deeds, and paid homage to the general of the National Assembly.
For seven years, the barbarians of the southern Xinjiang region had committed crimes. They had just calmed down the king of Yuzhang in the southwest, and once again led the army southward. In the floods and the plagues of the southern Xinjiang region, they fought hard to resist the enemy, and the roads were destroyed by floods. Fan was in danger, Xiao Xuan made a decision, forced to cross the Lancang River with a heart of breaking the boat, and forced the South to retreat 800 miles without force.
In the same year, Xiao Xuan was crowned King Yuzhang with a lifeless meritorious service, and became the only prince with a different surname other than the royal family of the current Dynasty.
For eight years, after a half-year break in central Yunnan, Yuzhang Wang Dajun went south again and was ready to fight. He defeated Nanman and defeated the army. In just nine months, all the 27 tribes of South Xinjiang were brought down.
For a full ten years, Wang Zhang of Yuzhang led an army to fight all over the place, trying to turn the tide around, Kuang Fu Society was in distress and deserved to be the humerus of the court and the pillar of the country.
This time the army triumphantly returned to the dynasty, and the court was excited. The emperor originally decided to leave the city to meet in person, but because the dragon had been ill for a long time, he had to order the prince to lead the hundred officers to welcome him and reward the three troops on behalf of Tianzi.
I heard my father and brother talk about the battle ahead, and were shocked by those thrilling battles.
The three words "Yuzhang King" are like curses, always reminding me of killing, victory and death.
When I can finally see this legendary man like a god, and finally I can see for myself, the legendary invincible army-I do not know why, but I am inexplicably afraid.
One hundred thousand troops cannot all enter the city. King Yuzhang only took three thousand iron riders. Rao is like this, which is enough to shock the entire capital.
Hundreds of people crowded the two sides of the city avenue into a leak, but all the pavilions that could see the city gate were crowded early. My elder brother wrapped up the whole floor in Yaoguang Pavilion in the morning, which is the tallest building near Chengtianmen, so that I can stand high and clearly see the grand situation of the army entering the city.
There is a red felt paving in the middle of the road leading to the city. Two rows of Imperial Forest armor are distinctive. On both sides of the stand, the royal Minghuanghuagai is covered, and the feather fan treasures lead to the platform at the end of the road.
At noon, the ceremony and music rang out, and after the three drums rang, the prince dressed in a suit of Chu Huang Chao, was boarded by a hundred officials.
Looking at it from a distance, everyone's face is ambiguous, and he can only guess based on the color of the service. Standing on the left side of the Prince, the person in a Zhu Hong suit must be the father. I tore off my brother's sleeves, learning the delicate tone, "Gongzi, when are you wearing robes and jade belts, standing on the top of the hundred officials?"
My elder brother glared at me, "Smelly girl, when did you learn to talk in the wind?"
I rolled my eyes and laughed, just about to beat him, listening to a low, deep clarion call, and the city gate slowly opened.
As if the entire capital was solemn in an instant.
The dazzling sunlight at noon suddenly darkened, and there seemed to be a chill in the air suddenly.
Suddenly, I thought that the endless black iron-colored tide appeared in front of me, and the metal cold flashed in the sun.
A large black flag of Phnom Penh handsomely jumped high, hunting and flying in the wind, and there was a silver-hook character "Xiao" on it.
Iron helmets with black helmets and iron armors are divided into nine columns and stand in strict formation. At first, one person had heavy armored swords, a cluster of white badgers on the helmets, and sat on a armored warhorse with a body like ink. He took the lead and moved forward, with nine trains of iron riding behind him, stepping in the same order, and every boot sounded through the inside and outside of the Chaoyangmen.
At the end of the ceremony, the general with black horses and white horses was holding the horse with his right hand slightly raised, and the generals behind him stopped to act decisively.
The man galloped forward alone, dismounted on the saddle ten feet outside the high platform, released his sword, handed it to the ceremony officer, and slowly ascended the high platform.
The elder brother's voice sounded behind him, with tightness, "That's Xiao Yan."
That man is so far away from us that he can't see his face, and just looking away, has made me feel oppressed and choked.
He stopped outside the Prince's three steps, bowed his head slightly, and knelt down on his knees.
The prince unfolded the yellow chanting, and read 犒 封 御 诏.
Far from hearing the Prince's voice, he saw the black iron armor, snow-colored helmet dazzling and shining in the noonday sun.
The crown prince Xuanzhen was over, Xiao Yan took Huang Huangshu with both hands, stood up, turned to the generals on the stage, stood upright, held the book horizontally with both hands.
-Long live my lord!
The voice was so majestic and so powerful that we even heard it distantly in this pavilion.
Suddenly, the tide of three thousand black armored iron riders, all made a trembling three-voice sound, shaking the tile, ringing inside and outside the capital.
Everyone was lost in this mighty shout, and even the royal ceremonies were overshadowed.
The left and right Yulin troops are both golden helmets and bright swords, and these three thousand iron riders have not even washed away the wind and frost dust on the armor, but they have overwhelmed the momentum of the Yulin army. In front of them, the beautiful scenery of the Yulin army suddenly became The puppets on the stage are average, fancy and useless.
They were soldiers who returned blood from thousands of miles away, washing their shirts with the blood of the enemy.
The sword is the sword that kills the enemy, the sword is the sword that kills the enemy, and the man is the murderer.
For murder, only those who have battled through the battlefield and frankly faced life and death can have such lingering and astringent murder.
In that rumor, it seems that the person came from the blood pool of Shura, now stands in front of everyone, ascends to the high platform, overlooks all beings, looks like a of heaven.
I was suffocated on my chest, and then I was surprised. I forgot to breathe, and my palms were sweating.
I never knew that there would be such a person in this world.
Seeing the Royal Tianwei, even before the emperor, he was never overly afraid.
However, at this moment, tens of feet away, I dare not look directly at that person.
On that man, there was a fierce and fierce light, which forced him to hide.
The elder brother was also uncharacteristically silent, staring silently at the scene in front of him, but the tea cup was clenched in his hands, and the knuckles were faintly white.
I pursed my lips with an inexplicable strangeness in my heart.
After the army was completed, he boarded the car and went back to his house.
The car stopped in front of the door of the house, and the maid picked the curtain, but she did not see her brother standing in front of the car as usual, reaching out to pick me up.
Surprised, I leaned over and saw my elder brother sitting on the horse's back, holding the pearl and purple lotus in his hand, caressing the white horse under the seat, thoughtfully.
"Gongzi, you're here!" I walked to his horse and learned to wait and smile.
The elder brother returned to God, gave me a glance, but sighed again, throwing up his hand and throwing the silver whip of Bai Yuzhen to the attendant, and jumped off the horse.
As soon as he entered the court, his mother was dressed in a high-dress, and brought Aunt Xu and the maids to meet him, seemingly going out.
"Is mother going out?" I smiled and held my mother.
"It happened that the Queen called, and you have n’t asked my aunt for two days. Come with me." My mother picked up a mess of hair and looked at my brother with a smile. What? "
I looked down and laughed. My mother always treats us as children. When my brother is still a child, he likes to watch the lively.
"Yu Zhang and Wang Jun are magnificent and magnificent." The elder brother didn't laugh, looking at his mother, said with sorrow, "The son is ashamed, I know today that my eldest husband is like this!"
The mother froze, raising her slim eyebrows, "You child, nonsense, what good is a martial arts man to kill and kill."
The elder brother bowed his head and said nothing. Although he often argued with his father, he never rebelled in front of his mother.
"What kind of identity do you have, how can you compare to that cold man." The mother's voice was soft and soft, but her words gradually became stricter.
She is the one who doesn't like Han military people the most. After listening to her brother today, it is inevitable that she will be upset.
When I saw my mother was unhappy, I laughed and said, "My brother is laughing, my mother doesn't care about him, let's go, my aunt is waiting in the palace!"
I couldn't help telling the moment, I picked up my mother and left, only looking back and blinking at my brother.
My aunt summoned her mother into the inner temple to talk in secret, but refused to let me in.
I was too lazy to wait for them, and went straight to the East Palace to look like my sister.
I saw the scene of Xiao Yan with my own eyes, and told it to Sister Wan Rong vividly, and I was stunned by her and several servants.
"I heard that King Yuzhang has killed tens of thousands of people." The side concubine Wei clan pressed her heart, her expression filled with disgust and fear. The next person took the conversation and said, "Where there are only 10,000 people, I'm afraid I can't count them all. I heard that he still drinks human blood!"
My heart was a little stubborn, and I was rather dismissive. I was trying to refute her, but I heard Sister Wan Rong shook her head. "How credible are the rumors in the market. If so, wouldn't you say people are demons."
Wei Fei laughed and said, "The killing is too heavy, contrary to the principle of kindness, hands are different from demons."
I don't like this concubine, relying on the darling of her prince, and showing her rudeness in the presence of her sister, she said coldly: "What's the way of kindness? Now that the smoke is rising, can you resist tigers and wolves with only one kindness? Let down the sword? "
Wei Fei's face blushed. "According to the county's master, is killing kind?"
I raised an eyebrow and smiled, "While the expedition has started, how can you be kind? Even if there is a killing, King Yuzhang is also a nation and a people. Can you enjoy peace here? ''
"well said."
The aunt's elegant quiet voice sounded outside the hall.
Everyone got up and saluted.
It was as if her sister stood sideways and greeted her aunt into the temple.
My aunt took only two people from the palace to attend, but I didn't see my mother. I was looking out of the hall, but I heard the aunt say lightly, "Don't worry, our palace has asked the eldest princess to go home first."
I looked at my aunt suddenly, for a while it was inexplicable.
The aunt sat down in the first seat, glanced at the daughters in front of her, not revealing her emotions. "What is the princess busy with?"
It was as if her sister lowered her eyebrows and said, "After returning to my mother, Chen Ye is telling tea with the county master."
My aunt smiled, but she didn't have a half-smile in her eyes. "Some interesting things, let's talk to this palace."
"My sister-in-law is just listening to the lord of the county ..." It was as if her sister had no worries, and actually returned to me. I interrupted her and rushed, "They are listening to me evaluating this year's new tea, aunt, you try this new Gong's silver needles are better than in previous years! "
I took the tea cup from the maid, gave it to my aunt, and stood next to her.
My aunt raised her eyebrows and glanced at me, turning to look like her sister, "Allow women in the palace to talk about courtiers. Is this the rule of the East Palace?"
"My concubine convicted!" It was as if her sister's face was so pale that she immediately knelt down, and Ji Ji hurried to her knees behind him.
"This is a grandma's talk, wrong, grandma, please aunt punish me!" I was about to kneel, but my aunt beat her.
I took my aunt's hand and looked at her with tears in my eyes, "Aunt ..."
My aunt caught my eyes, but was shocked, and looked a little different, turning around and no longer looking at me.
"Both, you all stepped down, and in the future the Crown Princess will be severely restrained from committing any more crimes." The aunt's face was dull.
It was as if my sister led the Ji Ji to retreat, and in the empty hall, I was left with my aunt.
"Aunt is angry with Grandma ..." I looked at my aunt timidly.
The aunt didn't speak, staring straight at me, that strange look that made me really panicky.
"I always think that you are still a child, and you have grown so amazingly unconsciously." My aunt's lips brought a reluctant smile on her lips, her voice was soft and she was clearly praised, but it made me feel uneasy in my ears.
Before I answered, my aunt smiled again, "Is there a letter from Ziyu recently?"
When I heard Zi Zi's name, my face became hot, and my heart was agitated, but I shook my head casually, afraid to tell the truth to my aunt.
The aunt stared at me with deep eyes, and seemed a little embarrassed. "Daughter's feelings, my aunt also understands. Ziyi is a very good child, but, grandma ..." She stopped talking and closed her eyes for a while. Silent.
Over the years, I have been rebuked by my aunt Li Xie many times, but no one has made me so scared.
I have never seen my aunt speak to me with this look, faintly, seemingly ominous.
I bit my lip hard and wanted to turn away and escape, not wanting to listen to her anymore.
The aunt suddenly said, "Since you were a child, have you ever been wronged, and have you resent anything?"
I am stunned, and want to say grievances, who can give me grievances inside and outside the palace, and what can make me blame-naturally only the son-in-law's departure, but how can this answer be said to my aunt.
"It doesn't seem like ... Brother counts me as bullying me?" I barely laughed, pretending to look at my aunt with ease.
The aunt narrowed her smile, her eyes were deep and complicated, and her love and compassion were even a little bit more painful. "You have grown so big, but you don't even know what the real grievance is.
I looked at my aunt, speechless.
My aunt smiled, her smile was bleak, "When I was a teenager, I was generally unconscious about you, loved by my loved ones, and maintained everywhere ... However, one day, we are destined to take on our own destiny, and we ca n’t always be protected Under the family wings! "
Looking at my aunt's compelling eyes, I was speechless, but my heart tightened.
My aunt stared directly into my eyes, and my voice was so cold, "If one day, you are going to suffer great grievances, give up what you cherish, do a reluctant thing, or even pay a great price, grandma, you Would you like? "
My heart was startling, my fingertips were cold, countless thoughts flashed through, but my head was a mess.
"Answer me." Aunt could not let me hesitate.
I bit my lip and looked up at her: "It depends on what it is for, and whether it is more important than what I treasure."
My aunt's eyes were so cold, "Everyone treasures things differently. What is the most important and what is the most worthwhile?"
Her eyes lingered on me for a long time, as if through me, into the distant time, "I also have something that is cherished, that was the greatest joy and sadness in my life ... But the joy and sadness are just My own joy and sorrow. In contrast, there is another thing, deeper and heavier, that I cannot escape and give up-that is, the glory and responsibility of the family! "
"The glory and responsibility of the family ..." If I was struck suddenly by the sledgehammer, my heart was trembling, and I was excited.
There was a faint tear in her aunt's eyes, but she was extremely determined.
"When the war broke out, there were many factions in North Korea and China, and the four great families refused to give up. My elder brother, with the reputation of being the first gifted man in the world, married your mother, Princess Jin Minchang, to marry the Wang family, bringing supreme glory. My sister, Xu, is assigned to King Qingyang, who is in power, and I must be the prince. In the future, I will be in charge of the Sixth Palace to ensure the authority of the Wang family in the DPRK, overwhelming the aggressive Xie family, and make Wang's status as gold. The tribe enjoys prosperity! "
I never knew that the splendid marriage of my parents and the world of my aunt's mother had hidden this bitterness.
Suddenly, the eyes turned dark, and in my heart, the world like Qionghua Wonderland suddenly faded in color, showing the gray failure underneath.
In fifteen years, my flawless glazed illusion has cracked for the first time.
I dare not listen and think again.
But once Liuli had the first crack, it would break down until it shattered.
The aunt stood up, approached me, gazed into my eyes, and uttered a stunned voice—
"From the day we were born, we were shrouded in halo, and we grew up in glory. Apart from the princess in the whole world, our Wang daughter is the most honorable. When you are in it, you may have no consciousness. Since I entered the palace at the age of eighteen, Witness the sadness and fate of the palace and the number of fate. You know how women who are humble and have no family support are humble in the palace, and their lives are not as good as ants! Once you lose power, let it be Family, I'm afraid that I'm not as good as the people in the market ... "
My aunt held my shoulder and said word by word, "We are proud of our identity, beauty, and talent ... it is a gift from the family. Without this family, I or you, and future generations will have nothing. We enjoy this Glory must bear the same responsibility. "
