Chapter 27 first quarter

Azure is waiting for Misty Rain, and I am waiting for you. At the crossing of the Yellow River in Honggou in 926 AD, Chai Shouyu's family was delayed by continuous rain. And where is the return trip?Chai Shouyu, who lives in a small hotel by the ferry, has no direction in his heart like a lonely boat in the ocean. Here he came—a big, ragged man with a hungry face and bright eyes. Guo Wei touched the few copper coins in his pocket, asked Xiao Er to bring a few catties of steamed buns and a bottle of bad wine, and then began to wolf down. Not long after, Xiao Er served some delicate side dishes and a pot of good wine.

Guo Weiqi got angry and said that I didn't order. Xiao Er said that the lady on the second floor ordered it for you. Guo Wei looked at the second floor, only saw a faint figure, he bowed his hand as a thank-you note, and he was not polite, and soon swept away the delicacies on the table. Satisfied with wine and food, he suddenly raised his pride, he said loudly that Miss Xie was so kind, why not take the opportunity to chat. She came down, gentle and generous, like a hibiscus blooming in the autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Although they met for the first time, they knew each other well.Xidao came from the same village, and lived in a piece of land for many years, but one was a lady, the other was a rascal, one was sent to the palace to sit and wait for nothing, and the other wandered around the world by drinking, gambling, and killing people. , so they do not intersect.Fortunately, fate often turns around. She didn't stay in the palace for long. Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of the later Tang Dynasty, who only loved actors but not beauties, was beheaded because of the betrayal. The new emperor sent the old concubines back home. One of them was There is her, Chai Shouyu; and he is always causing trouble everywhere. Not long ago, he was sent to death row for killing a butcher in Luzhou City (the historical version of Lu Zhishen punching the town of Guanxi). Fortunately, Li Jitao stayed behind after Luzhou stayed. A head that influenced the course of Chinese history.

In the chaotic world, they are all people without direction. But the hotel in the chasm town allowed them to meet the right person in the right place. The rain stopped, and the haze in their hearts dissipated. He said that if we meet once today, three lives will be lucky, and if we meet again in the future, we will definitely be rewarded with a favor from Miss Bao, and then turn around. Her eyes are a little wet, the world is in chaos, one farewell or forever, can all this only become a beautiful and short memory in life? No.When love comes, she wants to decide her own youth. She gave up her shyness and reserve as a girl, stopped him, and made the most important decision in her life.

I want to go with you. Of course, Chai's father and elder brother, who took her daughter home, objected to her daughter's absurd decision.Although the Chai family has fallen, it is still a big family, not to mention that with the beauty and talent of the daughter (and of course the wealth), it is not difficult to marry a military officer, but the poor boy in front of him has no position, no money, no education, he is just a piece of trash. Chai Shouyu's vision is of course different from theirs. She believes that in troubled times, fists, courage, and faith are the greatest capital.

All opposition could not defeat her daughter's persistence. Chai Shouyu was lucky. At that time, she was still a woman who could make decisions for herself.She gave half of her private money to her parents to go home for the elderly, and the other half as a dowry (unofficial history rumors that it is five million yuan, how Ms. Chai made money in the palace has become a mystery), and she got married in that small hotel Guo Wei, a poor bachelor. The romantic love story has changed the course of Chinese history. Guo Wei, who has a wife, is no longer the hot-tempered Xingzhou wild man who likes to drink, gamble.After that, Guo Wei entered the hero mode familiar to future generations. It took him 24 years to change from an ordinary soldier to a privy envoy of the Later Han Dynasty and the first person in the military circle of the Later Han Dynasty.

The master of high achievements, the young and naive Emperor Liu Chengyou of the Later Han Dynasty could no longer tolerate the thorn in Guo Wei's eyes, so he came to act first and wanted to send someone to get rid of Guo Wei.After the defeat, Guo Wei let the flow take its course and raised the banner of "the Qing emperor's side". The two sides were not at the same level of opponents at all, and before the real confrontation, Liu Chengyou blindly tore up the biggest hole card in his hand-Guo Wei's family who stayed in Bianjing. This also includes Chai Shouyu who has been with Guo Wei for more than 20 years, as well as Guo Wei's two sons and a daughter, as well as Chai Rong's eldest son and second son.

As one of the most ineffective emperors in Chinese history, this move by Liu Chengyou, Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty, may be the most influential thing he did-almost put Chinese history on another track. How heartbroken Guo Wei was after receiving the bad news is unknown. In that era of the jungle, everything was so cruel. On the way to the peak of power, there was always blood under the flowers.This time, Guo Wei paid a heavy price. The lovers who held hands in the small town of Honggou back then still couldn't spend their whole life together. In 951 AD, Guo Wei was "forced" to wear a yellow robe in Tanzhou (many years later, a young man named Zhao Kuangyin imitated this action - from Zhao Housheng to Lu Housheng, the story of Guo Daxia is always imitated, but unfortunately , later generations only remembered the imitators), became the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

However, the new emperor has no living empress. He told his courtiers that there is only one queen for me, and her name is Chai Shouyu. This may still not be able to make up for his missing and guilt for that woman, so he spoke again. The second generation leader of the Later Zhou Empire, surnamed Chai. Chai Rong!
