The moonlight in the imperial capital was dim, illuminating the deep palaces and pavilions in the triple forbidden city. Obviously there is not a trace of twilight clouds in the sky, but the round jade plate seems to be covered with a layer of tulle, hazy and indistinct, as if it is really far away.It's like a stunning woman who finally walks out of a deep boudoir shyly, but insists on smiling at people through a veil—this kind of beauty carries an incomprehensible mystery far away in the sky. ——Just like the smile of Princess Yixin at this moment. On the high platform of Jinghe Palace, the moon was shining like a wash, and the flowers were light red. The maids and eunuchs stepped back three feet carefully, and stood at the bottom to wait for the summons.Under the shadow of the whirling trees, there is a banquet, with golden cups and jade cups, nine dishes and eighteen dishes, which is extremely luxurious - after all, it is the imperial capital, and there are rules that must be followed even for a casual drink in the palace.

The shadow of laurel was cast on the white face like jade, covering up the faint smile.Today's elder sister of Emperor Wutai, Princess Yixin sat on the side of the silver pot, filled it with wine, and gave it to the man sitting in the south of the middle, with a smile on his mouth: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, yes No, Lord Hou?" The man in the center is tall and straight, wearing black clothes woven with dragon patterns, he can't see his face in the shade of the tree, and even his eyes don't seem to have any light—he seems to have heard the words of Princess Yixin. Less than half a sentence.The wine glass handed over was put into his hand, but his palm seemed to have no strength at all, the jade cup fell on his lapel with a bang, rolled to the ground and smashed to pieces.

The drink splashed half of his body, but the man was still sitting numbly in the shadows, motionless. "Look at you, you can't move your hands, you can't move your feet, you can't even drink a glass of wine..." Princess Yixin smiled coquettishly, took out a piece of silk to wipe the wine splashed on the man's cheeks, gently Mo Suo, Jiao Chen, "Poor thing, it's not at all like the Ding Jian Hou who raised troops in troubled times, killed the four kings and helped the royal family back then." The man in black sitting in the middle still didn't respond at all, just staring blankly ahead.

"Sister is really interesting, knowing that he can't hear anything, and still teasing him like this?" The woman sitting opposite Princess Yixin had green eyes different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains, and suddenly laughed, "I knew it was so , When the change of seizing the palace that day, why did you use such a strong poison to turn him into a useless person? He also scratched his tendons and hamstrings, making him neither human nor ghost—but my sister was soft-hearted and kept her from killing." "Sister, don't laugh at my family... I have seen too many storms and waves, and I am already a bird of fright. How dare I be careless?" Eldest Princess Yixin smiled and refilled the jade cup, "Who is Ding Jianhou? Not only you Mingjiao , Even our Xia Clan's Dayin Kingdom almost fell into his hands! If I hadn't flattered and endured for many years, how could I have had the opportunity to sit here with my sister to drink and watch the moon? Don't make him like this, How can I feel at ease when I lie on the couch?"

One of the Three Holy Maidens of the Ming Sect, Menia, the Moon Sacred Maiden, looked at Princess Dayin who was sitting timidly on the high platform in the imperial capital, and smiled slightly—she was indeed a fierce woman, worthy of being own partner. When she led her disciples from Kunlun to the east, passed through Dunhuang and came to Chang'an, she found herself in a huge political whirlpool.The reason why the Dayin Dynasty of the Central Plains wanted to destroy Mingjiao was not that simple, and it involved various aspects.In such a chaotic situation, she saw the only ally she could cooperate with: Yixin Emperor Xia Yu, who was still a distant branch of the clan at that time—the elder sister of the two siblings who was manipulated by Ding Jianhou.

No one knows how these two women with different thoughts came together in such a chaotic and sinister political situation—and no one knows how the Demon Sect risked his life to assassinate Emperor Jing, more than a year ago, Not to avenge the annihilation of the sect, but to let Xia Fan, the eight-year-old son of the clan, ascend to the throne of God as soon as possible! That was the first step for Mingjiao, or even Huihe, to start cooperation with the Dayin Xia family. After the collapse of Emperor Jing, Ding Jianhou supported the seven-year-old boy to ascend the throne as Emperor Wutai.Xia Yu, the only sister of Emperor Wutai, was named the eldest princess Yixin, lived in Jinghe Palace, controlled the inner palace, and became the de facto mother of the country.And the Ding Jianhou, who was called "Yafu" by the young Emperor Wu Tai, has the power to dominate the world, and there is no taboo in going out and out of the palace. There are many rumors in the court and the public that Princess Yixin has already committed herself to the regent in order to keep her younger brother's throne. The Ding Jian Hou.

However, no one knows that the seemingly slender puppet princess unexpectedly divided several capable generals under Ding Jianhou's command without anyone noticing, and even his confidant subordinate and chief think tank, Sun Siyuan, had already invested in Xia. Under the family of his siblings.After secretly returning from Dunhuang, Ding Jianhou became addicted to drugs again, but this time he was unable to quit no matter what - because his personal attendant had been bribed by the eldest grandson Siyuan to secretly mix the bliss pills in the regent's in the daily diet. One day, when the regent had a drug addiction and lost his resistance, the coup d'état was launched.

The gates of the Forbidden City were closed tightly, and the master of the palace changed in just half a day—the disappearing Mingjiao launched an attack at the same time, and controlled the inner palace, controlling all the Imperial Forest Army and the inner guards.And Ding Jianhou, who stayed in Jinghe Palace that night, came out of Princess Yixin's room and became a living dead. After dawn, none of the civil and military officials who lined up to go to court as usual could see that Ding Jianhou, who was sitting next to the child emperor as regent, had become a new puppet.The Xia brothers and sisters have regained power in secret, but they are concerned about the troops loyal to Ding Jianhou who are scattered all over the world, and try their best to cover up the news of the coup, but still let this puppet sit in place and use his hands to continue to eradicate it step by step. With opposition forces.

Hearing what the eldest princess said, there was a sharp smile on the corner of Mei Niya's mouth, and she stared at the unresponsive Ding Jianhou: "It will be a disaster after all to keep him. Why not solve it as soon as possible? Could it be that my sister has been in love for many years and can't bear to part with it?" ?” "Reluctance? Hehe... my sister is really joking." Princess Yixin covered her mouth and smiled, turned her head to look at the Moon Maiden, her eyes suddenly calmed down, "a centipede, dead but not stiff - loyal to the tripod sword The man has not died yet, and six out of ten troops in the Central Plains are loyal to him. If a mutiny is stirred up, it will be very bad. Among other things, Gaolian City, which holds an army of 100,000 in the city of Dunhuang, is not from the Cauldron Sword. Under the door?"

Speaking of Dunhuang, Mei Niya clenched her fingers imperceptibly, and nodded: "Yes, Gao Liancheng is brave and brave, and his use of troops is not inferior to that of his brother Shu Ye. go back." Princess Yixin drank a glass of wine with a smile: "Gao Liancheng is fine—thanks to your father's siege of Dunhuang, the Western Regions are in a tight spot right now. Even if he knows, he still doesn't care about the imperial capital." Meniya was surprised: "Then what are you afraid of?" "Si Yuan refuses to let me kill him... probably still misses the old relationship." Princess Yixin put down her wine glass, smiled thoughtfully, "I don't want to tear myself apart with him—after all, There are many places where he can be used.”

Mei Niya seemed a little puzzled, and raised her eyebrows: "It's really strange, he was the one who fell under my sister's pomegranate skirt and betrayed the lord; After the matter is done, he will marry and share the Dayin country with him. What worries does he have, should he cherish his life?" "Si Yuan said that by keeping the Ding Sword, he can attract the rest of the party who are scattered all over the place step by step, so that they can be wiped out in one go. In fact, I think he probably has some guilt in his heart, right?" Eldest Princess Yixin shook her head slightly, "He followed the Ding Sword After waiting for so many years, after all, there is love - if he is determined to put him to death, it will be a bit unreasonable." Mei Niya nodded and pondered: "In terms of family background, the eldest grandson's family is your famous and powerful family in Dayin; in terms of intelligence, he is also a rare talent - my sister is considered a person when she marries him, hold him firmly in the palm of my hand, and revive him in the future Dayin can't do without him." Speaking of her fiancé, Eldest Princess Yixin's eyes were a bit complicated, and she was about to say something, when suddenly a few bright lights flashed in the dark forbidden palace! --who is it?Actually broke into the heavily guarded and heavily guarded Forbidden Palace? "Where are the Twelve Black Clothes?" Moon Maiden Meniya was shocked, she looked back and scolded. However, before the words were finished, something was suddenly thrown up from under the high platform, and rolled down in front of the banquet. The moon is as bright as water, and a man's head with beard and hair is reflected impressively! "Ah Seven?" Menia blurted out in surprise, and recognized one of the twelve black-clothed subordinates, she pressed her hand on the side of her waist, and the soft sword around her waist flicked out. "Demon girl, take your life!" The assassin shouted, and the electric light shot up along with the head.However, the moon maiden Meniya swung her waist, unfolding the ten-foot-long soft sword layer by layer, instantly covering the entire high platform under the shadow of the sword.After just one round of fighting, the assassin was obviously exhausted. At this moment, he only tried his best to resist, unable to take a step towards Ding Jianhou, so he could only shout at the top of his voice: "Master Hou! Master Hou! We are here to save you! " However, the man in the black robe with the dragon pattern sat under the laurel tree with no expression on his face. The assassin was still desperate, and Menia's soft sword had already wrapped around his neck like a snake, and the tip of the sword was on the protruding Adam's apple.However, that assassin was not afraid, and rushed towards the Ding Jianhou beside the banquet, risking his life! "Master Hou! What's the matter with you? Let's come—" In the middle of the sentence, the sharp edge of the soft sword had already cut the throat of the visitor, and the head rolled down on the banquet, and the blood sprayed the whole body of the tripod sword, but he Still as if he couldn't hear or see anything, he sat there numbly, looking straight ahead. "It's too bad... Another banquet was ruined." Princess Yixin sighed, stretched out her hand wearing a long armor to pick up the head, looked at it, and threw it into Ding Jianhou's arms, " Look, what a loyal and passionate subordinate... Is it Tanmarurou? It's a pity that you have been hit by Meniya's mind-bending technique, no matter how hot his blood is, you can't feel it anymore, right?" The human head rolled down on the lapel, and the wide eyes were aimed at him, but Ding Jianhou's eyes were dull. As if thinking of something, Eldest Princess Yixin's eyes hesitated: "But I... always feel uneasy. Although no one in the court dared to oppose us anymore, the garrisons in various places were temporarily stabilized, and they never went to Beijing to mutiny. But Those people in Jianghu came here in batches! I don’t know what benefit the Tripod Sword Marquis gave them back then, but now they are risking their lives like this.” Menia stood on the high platform, leaning on the railing to look at the numerous palaces below, among which, there were countless Mingjiao troops and powerful experts in ambush.The group of assassins who came tonight have all been wiped out in these shadows, right?But I don't know when the next batch will come. Meiya snorted coldly and raised her eyebrows: "The Central Plains martial arts are too ignorant of flattery, dare to go against the officials?" "Dayin has been in chaos for so many years. There is no king and no father, and the strong is the king. The prestige of the official family is long gone. Back then, Ding Jianhou was born in the wilderness of the rivers and lakes, and met many people in the martial arts. Those people in the rivers and lakes are loyal. Heavy, even what kind of kingly law?" Eldest Princess Yixin shook her head with a wry smile, "When you accept Mingjiao as the state religion in the future, you will probably encounter more troubles, right?" The Holy Maiden of Mingjiao gave a low laugh: "Is the eldest princess wanting Mingjiao to take action to remove Ding Jianhou's Jianghu forces for you?" Princess Yixin stared at the fine wine in the cup, and said word by word: "If 'Tan Wan Lang' is not removed for a day, I will not be able to sleep peacefully for a day!" Chang'an Tanmaru was originally a killer organization directly under Ding Jianhou.At that time, Ding Jianhou listened to the advice of Gongsun Siyuan, a think tank, and recruited outstanding martial arts from the down-and-out youths in Chang'an City. He cultivated a group of killers with kindness and power to deal with the officials and generals who opposed him.Before each action, those young killers will find the red pill to kill the military officer, the black pill will kill the civil servant, and the white pill will be responsible for contacting and confining the corpses. In troubled times, the title "Tanwan Lang" is scary For a while, the deterrent power in the Central Plains was no less than when the countries in the Western Regions heard about the "Sura Field". After the change of seizing the palace, Princess Yixin and Mingjiao took control of the Forbidden Palace with lightning speed, and took Ding Jianhou into captivity.Gongsun Siyuan, a think-tank who secretly turned against him, even used tricks to attract the top ten Tanmaru Lang, and Mingjiao sent masters to wipe them out one by one. Ding Jianhou lost contact. It's not that the imperial court did not send people to investigate. However, most of the martial arts people in the Central Plains are old friends of Ding Jianhou.Therefore, the killer organization cultivated by Ding Jianhou disappeared into the vast rivers and lakes as soon as it left the imperial capital. Although they were severely injured and leaderless after being attacked, these young men from Chang'an still persevered in attacking the inner palace time and time again with amazing loyalty and perseverance, trying to rescue their masters.And the imperial forces supported by the Xia family were often assassinated, which made the Ouchi Imperial Forest Army and the Mingjiao extremely passive for a while. "Your sister already has a clever plan?" Menia asked tentatively, never knowing what was going on in the mind of this seemingly weak and cowardly princess. Princess Yixin didn't answer, but just poured another glass of wine and handed it to the unresponsive prince, watched the puppet drink obediently, wiped the corner of Ding Jianhou's mouth with a silk scarf, and turned back suddenly She smiled brightly at Mei Niya: "I have sent Si Yuan to the southern border, and brought young master Shu Ye back to the imperial capital." "Young Master Shu Ye?" The shock was no small matter, even though she was as determined and calm as the moon, the saint's face changed, "The number one assassin in the Shura Field, the friend of the Ding Jianhou? Are you crazy? You actually went to find Gao Shuye?" Fortunately, he doesn’t know where he is now, if he is here, how can you and I achieve today’s plan—you actually want to bring him back to the imperial capital? Isn’t this opening the door and stealing?” Princess Yixin held the silk with her slender fingers, and smiled softly: "Yes... If you hadn't recognized Ding Jianhou as Mo Xiang, I would never have thought that the Dunhuang City Lord far away in the Western Regions would actually He is a close friend of Ding Jianhou. This move of the chess piece can be regarded as the depth of burial. I really don’t know how many pieces are buried like this?” Meniya was a little puzzled: "Then why do you..." "I don't want to send people to find young master Shu Ye first, so why don't I wait for the remaining parties to find him first?" Eldest Princess Yixin sneered suddenly, "Those remaining parties have no leader, and only one leader is missing. Wouldn't it be more generous for someone to collude with others to steal and kill you? I sent Si Yuan to ambush him, led him back to the imperial capital, and then..." The long armor covered with colored glaze and gold hooked up the head of the assassin just now, and the beautiful and slender princess laughed: "Then, just wait and see... I will catch all those who are not afraid of death!" Princess Yixin stood up, holding a glass full of fine wine, and smiled at Meiniah: "When the world returns to the Xia family, I will establish Mingjiao as the state religion of Dayin, and build Mani temples all over the world. Ten of them, at the same time cut off the twelve states west of Dunhuang to Huihe, and my sister is the godmother of the two places in the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and everyone in the world worships the living Buddha." Menia took the wine and drank it down: "I hope it's as my sister said!" Under the laurel tree, Princess Dayin and Huihe Godmother looked at each other and smiled, one was delicate and quiet, and the other was bright and hearty.However, in the hands of these two slender jades, they hold the power to turn the world around and overturn the current situation! What kind of troubled times was that?When all the male members of the royal family killed each other in the civil strife, and only a pair of orphans remained in the Xia family of Dayin, the noble woman who was originally only waiting to be married in her boudoir tried her best and was almost murdered at last. Seize the state security. The two of them wanted to continue talking, but suddenly footsteps came from the audience, and a line of bright yellow palace lanterns floated over in the dark night. Behind the leading lady was a beautiful shoulder palace, on which a woman was holding a seven or eight-year-old boy in her arms. The child looked confused: "Princess, the emperor woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly kept crying, saying that he wanted to see the princess. I can't do it, so I have to..." "Sister, sister!" Before the woman could finish speaking, the child suddenly cried out and threw herself into the arms of Eldest Princess Yixin, "I'm afraid! They're here again...those little white ghosts are here again... I danced on the bed!" Eldest Princess Yixin looked at her stupid and foolish younger brother, the cold stare in her eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by sincere love, she hugged the little emperor and coaxed softly: "Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, don't be afraid, Those ghosts have already run away. Huh?" "They didn't run away...I see them every night! Sister, they...they crawled out of the ground, sang and danced on my bed, stepped on me...I, I'm going to die..." The young Wu Taidi wow Wept loudly, speaking incoherently, "Sister, sister, don't kill Yafu... I'm so scared... Yafu is fine, don't kill him..." Princess Yixin shook her head and sighed silently—her younger brother, as the only blood of the Xia family, was weak and sickly since childhood.When he was seven years old, his intelligence still remained at the level of a two- or three-year-old child.And on that day, after seeing his sister suddenly launch a bloody coup, the young emperor was greatly stimulated, and since then he has been unable to sleep at night and has hallucinations. In that incident of seizing the palace, Ding Jianhou "just happened" to be addicted to drugs, unable to control himself, and then he was poisoned by the poison she poured into the wine, and lost the ability to resist—but his attendants fought desperately , No one is willing to surrender.Until the last moment, those loyal servants, knowing that there was no hope, took poison and committed suicide one after another. After that night, the entire scene, the inside and outside of the palace, the railings, walls, roof, and steps were all splattered with blood, like a slaughterhouse.Ah Fan was so frightened that he burst into tears on the spot, unable to persuade him, his sanity became even more stupid. Later, in order to cover up the coup, those bodies were buried on the spot.Under the blooming chrysanthemums outside Jinghe Palace, I'm afraid there are some fragmented bones... Could it be that those ghosts really entangled Ah Fan? When the situation outside calms down in another day, should Meniya ask Mingzun to come and exorcise evil spirits? Eldest Princess Yixin patiently coaxed her crying younger brother, carried him to the edge of the banquet, and let her younger brother look at Ding Jianhou who was sitting at the table: "Here, Yafu is here! Okay, how can sister What about killing Yafu?" Seeing the familiar face, the young Emperor Wu Tai stopped crying, fixedly looked at the expressionless face, and asked suddenly for a long while: "Yafu...is he really alive? I think he is dead... ...He looks like this, is he dead?" "Nonsense, of course Yafu is alive," Eldest Princess Yixin forced a smile, eager to hug her younger brother away, "Yafu is just tired, he has to deal with a lot of government affairs every day, Xiaofan, sleep well, don't disturb him." "No! I want to sleep with Yafu! I want Yafu to tell me stories!" Emperor Wu Tai refused, and burst into tears again, "With Yafu here, those little white devils dare not come... Sister, I To sleep with Yafu!" Eldest Princess Yixin couldn't help it, she hugged her younger brother and coaxed, coaxed and coaxed, for some reason her eyes turned red and she shed tears.The attendant of Gong'e next to her was silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound.
