In the 79th year of Chengxuan in the Dazheng calendar and the 17th year of Jiangzuo's Younan, Jiangzuo captured the capital city of the Later Han Dynasty, Chengchuan, and the Later Han Dynasty perished. After that, although the orphans of the Later Han Dynasty often raised troops in the territory of the Later Han Dynasty, they were all wiped out by the Beifu soldiers and the Silver Sword Guards.
In order to better control the land of the Later Han Dynasty, Zhao Hanguo proposed to move the capital to Hanyang under the guise of Qin Tianjian and renamed Hanyang Jiangdu, which means the capital of Jiangzuo.
Emperor Yan Xuanji of Jiangzuo strongly opposed it in court, but Zhao Hanguo cited the grievances of the people in Jiangzuo and the floods in the south as reasons, saying that all these were the emperor's faults and could only be corrected by moving the capital, and God would not impose new punishments.
Yan Xuanji originally wanted to suspend the move of the capital by issuing an imperial edict, but he was opposed by Zhao Hanguo's words, saying, "Words are not as good as actions, and they will not be effective at the top and will not be effective at the bottom. The great Confucianism of the previous dynasty said that heaven and man are one, and the emperor is the emperor, so he should be
All people should set an example and do things themselves."
Zhao Hanguo's words were high-sounding, and Zhao Hanguo's party also echoed his words. Yan Xuanji knew that he was powerless, so he could only humbly say: "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. Everything is in accordance with what the Prime Minister said. We are preparing to move the capital to Jiangdu today."
Amidst the chants of "The Emperor's Holy Might, Jiang Zuo's Blessing", Yan Xuanji came to a sad end, but Zhao Hanguo stood among the ministers, his eyebrows bright and proud.
Yan Xuanji retreated to the harem and plunged into the bed tent without saying a word. Two eunuchs stood guard outside the bed tent and looked into the bed tent from time to time.
Yan Xuanji was inside the bed tent, tearing off his clothes and pants and pinching his flesh little by little with his fingernails. The flesh on the inner thighs is the most nerve-rich place on the human body, and it was extremely painful when he pinched his fingernails.
He was biting his back teeth tightly to prevent himself from making any sound, and his eyes were even redder.
He stared at the jade Ruyi in front of him, and the hatred in his heart shot at that Ruyi through his eyes, so hot that it seemed to burn the Ruyi to ashes.
Over the years, whenever he had a conflict with Zhao Hanguo in the court and lost his majesty as the emperor, he would do this, using the pain in his humerus to remind himself not to forget the shame Zhao Hanguo had given him. Over the years, his inner thighs were often bruised and purple.
.
He wants revenge, and one day he will overthrow Zhao Hanguo, make Zhao Hanguo kneel at his feet, and beg him to spare his life.
The two eunuchs looked at Yan Xuanji in the bed tent and thought he was sulking under the quilt. They smiled and said in their hearts: This little emperor will have no choice but to sleep with his head covered under the hands of the Prime Minister!
Yan Xuanji looked through the curtain at the two young eunuchs outside the curtain and said softly: "Xiao Quanzi, Xiao Guizi, go get me a cup of bird's nest soup and some snacks. I'm hungry and I want to eat something."
When he said this, his voice was extremely gentle, and there was no trace of the visceral hatred just now!
The two young eunuchs responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Looking at the backs of the two eunuchs leaving, Yan Xuanji suddenly felt a murderous aura in his heart, but in an instant the murderous aura was hidden in his calm expression. He could not show any dissatisfaction, he knew that these people were Zhao Hanguo's spies.
, once he makes any abnormal behavior, they will definitely tell Zhao Hanguo.
Thinking of this, Yan Xuanji couldn't help but wonder, why did Zhao Hanguo choose to move the capital at this time? The reason was definitely not because of what Qin Tianjian said. Hanyang was close to the land of the Later Han Dynasty. Could it be that he wanted to better govern the capital of the Later Han Dynasty?
land?
But even in order to rule the land of the Later Han Dynasty, he would not go to such great lengths to move the capital to Hanyang. Could it be that he discovered that he was cultivating his own power and wanted to take advantage of the capital move to take over the power he had cultivated in one fell swoop?
collapse?
Yan Xuanji couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes. If this was true, then the power he had cultivated so hard would collapse in an instant, and the land of Hanyang must have been filled with Zhao Hanguo's informants. His trip was
When a sheep enters the tiger's mouth, it will be even more difficult to overthrow Zhao Hanguo.
As he thought this way, looking at the bright red curtain in front of him, a chill suddenly arose, as if the bright red curtain in front of him had turned into a piece of blood and spread all over his body.
Outside the palace, as soon as the two young eunuchs walked out of the door, they were stopped by a commander of the imperial army.
The commander asked: "Two father-in-laws, did the emperor do anything unusual after he returned to his room?"
The two young eunuchs were also acquainted with the commander and knew that he was from Xiangguo Zhao. They also said bluntly: "Is there anything unusual? There is nothing unusual about the little emperor. As usual, he was covered in quilts as soon as he came back.
He must have been feeling uncomfortable for a while, but now he is hungry, so let my two brothers come out to get him something to eat."
The commander smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen. Your Majesty won't be overwhelmed, right?"
The two eunuchs said with nonchalant expressions: "It's such a good life for him as a little kid to be the emperor. Why can't he think about it? He is so happy and has no worries about food and clothing. I don't know how many lifetimes he has cultivated this blessing!"
The commander listened to what the two eunuchs said and nodded with a smile. He took out two ingots of silver from his arms and gave them to the two eunuchs. He said: "Thank you for your hard work, my father-in-law. The prime minister will never forget you two."
bit."
"Thanks to Mr. Dutong and the Prime Minister." The two father-in-laws said happily.
Inside the palace.
Yan Xuanji took advantage of the opportunity when the two eunuchs were leaving and took out a brocade box from under the bed. He opened the brocade box and found a small kingfisher half the size of a palm hidden inside.
When the little kingfisher saw the brocade box opened, it hurriedly blinked its eyes, spread its wings and landed on Yan Xuanji's hand, rolling affectionately in his hand.
Yan Xuanji looked at the kingfisher and smiled, walked to the bank of books, wrote a small note with the words "Move to Hanyang", and tied it to the bright red calf of the kingfisher.
"rely on you!"
As he said this, he quietly opened the back window and let the little kingfisher fly out of the window like an arrow.
Done.
Yan Xuanji returned to bed, lying flat on the field with his eyes closed. As a puppet emperor, he really had too much unwillingness and resentment. He was pretentious but useless. He dreamed of reshaping the Taisho Yan clan.
Glory, but there are no capable ministers to rely on outside, and there is Zhao Hanguo's wolf ambition inside. In this embarrassing situation, even the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are afraid that they are powerless.
The door opened, and a beam of light flashed across his face. He knew that the two little eunuchs were back. He got up and walked to the table with a smile on his face, smiling at the two little eunuchs who were about to leave.
The food was placed on the table, and he ate it with relish, not paying any attention to the unusual smiles on the faces of the two young eunuchs.
Just as Yan Xuanji was eating, a young eunuch pushed the door open and barged in in a panic. He knelt down in front of Yan Xuanji and said, "The emperor and princess are back!"
