Chapter 1 Wedges(1/4)
978 AD.
On the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day.
The clouds covered the top, the sky and the earth were dark, and I couldn't see my five fingers.
The capital city of Bianliang.
Longxi Duke Mansion, not far from the imperial palace.
Suddenly, a lightning flashed across the ink-like night sky, followed by a shocking thunder.
"Boom boom..."
This Chinese Valentine's Day night is different from usual.
Tonight, it was not the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, but the wind was blowing, the dark fog was everywhere, and the rain was pouring. Li Yu, who was originally born on the Chinese Valentine's Day, was exactly 42 years old at that time.
Today is his forty-two birthday.
However, his dearest person, his beautiful little Zhou Empress, who was so beautiful in the country and as beautiful as a fairy, was summoned by Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, to have fun.
Li Yu's birthday today is still wearing a cuckold, and he feels very sad.
He sat alone at the dining table, raising his glass and drinking alone, and the beauty and loveliness of Xiao Zhouhou appeared in his mind.
Then, he remembered the scene of his first meeting with her and secretly dating, and couldn't help but chant: "The girl in Penglai Courtyard closed the rooftop, and the people sleeping in the painting hall were speechless. She threw away the pillow and the clouds, and smelled the strange fragrance of embroidered clothes. She came to the beads and locks, and she was shocked to realize the dream of the silver screen. Her face was slowly laughing, and she looked at each other with infinite affection."
In his drunken eyes, he seemed to see Xiao Zhouhou sitting opposite him, staring at him with affection.
So he picked up the wine glass and smiled and said, "Queen, I wish you a glass."
Suddenly, Xiao Zhou Hou's face became ferocious and cursed: "Incompetent man! I'll remarry Zhao Guangyi. Humph!"
"Queen, Queen..." Li Yu suddenly woke up in fear and calmed down. When he saw that there was no Xiao Zhou Queen in front of him? He murmured several times, and his heart ached.
Once upon a time, Li Yu was also the emperor who called the wind and rain.
In his small country of Southern Tang, all the people worshiped each other and civil servants and military generals surrendered.
But now, as a prisoner, especially on such a Chinese Valentine's Day, and on his birthday, his beloved wife was ridden by others as a horse...
Li Yu was extremely depressed. Wuxin was filled with wine and food on the table, and suddenly he clenched his fists and started to wail in the sky!
"Ah... I'm going crazy..."
The singers who were waiting on the side were so scared that they all trembled all over.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Yu looked sideways and laughed sadly at the sky.
He laughed, raised his glass, raised his head and drank it all.
Then, he had a dark face and in a deep voice ordered the singers to play music and chant the [Phoenix] he wrote.
The only personal bodyguard Li Wenwei, who was about forty years old, was burly and wearing a treasure knife with his waist. He was the successor of the "Splashing Sword".
Seeing this, he was also sad and tears fell like rain.
How can the minister be content with the master?
As the only loyal general around the master, although his martial arts are extraordinary, he alone cannot protect Li Yu from all over the place.
Li Wenwei kept his mind clear at all times, wiped his tears when he saw this, and rushed forward and knelt in front of Li Yu.
He bowed his fists and said in tears: "Lord, don't do this. If the emperor knew, he might punish him again. What's more, the mistress is still suffering in the palace..."
He persuaded him kindly, but he accidentally became "Which pot doesn't open the pot!"
When Li Yu heard this, his heart was as if he was thrusting into a needle. He was extremely indignant. He raised his foot and kicked Li Wenwei over and cursed: "Fuck! I have never been the emperor before? Get out!"
"Dong..."
Li Wenwei fell to the back of his head and felt dizzy.
He got up, sighed in his heart, but did not dare to speak.
He stood on one side, holding a sword in his hand, and said sadly: If the news came out, the Dog Emperor sent someone to disrespect my lord, and I could only fight my life to protect my lord from escaping. This kind of life is not a human being, and I can't live again. The capital of the Song Dynasty, Bianliang, is simply a dog cage to Li and his lord!
He had an unknown premonition in his heart!
歌姬们见李煜心情很坏,连他的爱将李文威都挨揍了,生怕也会被李煜打.于是,她们赶紧翩翩起舞,并在欢舞中弹唱李煜所作的【虞美人】:
"When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come, how much will it be known in the past? The building was windy again last night, and my hometown was unbearable to look back at the moonlight.
The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red faces are changed. I ask you how much sorrow you can have, just a river of spring water flows eastward.”
Remaining heat in early autumn.
The singers dressed thinly and little, and they danced and sang at this time, and their bodies were graceful and charming.
The peaks and snowy skin in their tulle are vaguely visible.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Good! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"Baobabababababa..."
"Good wine! Good song! Good lyrics! Hahahaha..."
Li Yu immediately smiled with his eyebrows and his sorrow disappeared. He returned to the dining table, served a glass of wine from time to time, and applauded from time to time.
At this moment, he could only use alcohol to relieve his sorrows and sing and dance to numb himself.
Li Wenwei woke up from his sorrow and looked up and saw a beautiful scene.
His body couldn't help but trembled cleverly.
At this moment, he kept his duties in mind, and made his luck three times, and used his power to protect the god.
He calmed down, turned his eyes a little, and looked away.
After Li Wenwei calmed down, he sighed again in his heart, and felt a lot of emotion, and secretly scolded Li Yu: "Alas, I have become the king of the country who has lost my country. I don't want to make a comeback, but I don't want to be in Shu! It's so heartbreaking!"
The imperial guards outside the hall were sent by Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty to protect Li Yu, but in fact they supervised Li Yu's every move.
"The king of the country who has lost his country still drinks and has fun!"
"Yes, he vows to carry out the great deception career to the end!"
"If you can't become the master of your mentality, you will inevitably become a slave to your emotions!"
At this time, the Imperial Guards outside whispered through the screen window when they saw Li Yu being so "bold and reckless".
The successor of the "Tiangangmen" and the Imperial Guardian Yu, the chief of the Imperial Guard, Qin Zhiguang, from the eighth-rank military officer, sympathized with Li Yu's experience, but his responsibilities were placed.
Regarding Li Yu's actions, even if Qin Zhiguang did not report to Zhao Guangyi himself, others would still report to Zhao Guangyi. If others were asked to report to Zhao Guangyi first, then he would be dereliction of duty and he would be defeated.
"Lu Jinsheng, you immediately enter the palace to face the saint and report Li Yu's abnormality tonight to the emperor!"
So, Qin Zhiguang urgently ordered someone to enter the palace to face the saint and sued Li Yu for disrespect for the emperor.
"As for the order!"
Lu Jinsheng bowed his fists and bowed, answered the order, and turned around and left.
However, Qin Zhiguang secretly admired Li Wenwei, feeling that Li Wenwei was not only loyal, but also had his own opinions and could always keep his mind clear.
Qin Zhiguang was about forty years old and was already bald, with both hair and bright eyes. When he saw this person, he was very smart and extremely smart.
Although he has little official title, he is very skilled in martial arts and meticulous. He is one of the eight masters of the capital. He is good at using an iron chain and is nicknamed "Iron Chain Crossing the River!"
This nickname refers to the power of his Tiangang chain, and also to his always thorough planning and scheming.
In the palace, he was hugging Zhao Guangyi, the beautiful little Zhou queen, when he heard that there were guards from Longxi Duke Mansion to report the situation, so he knew that something was abnormal in Longxi Duke Mansion.
After letting go of Xiao Zhou, he came out of the room and walked a few steps in the corridor to avoid being overheard by Xiao Zhou.
In the room, Zhao Guangyi had already removed her clothes. The bare-body little Zhou Hou was standing on the dragon couch. Although he didn't know what happened, the ominous feeling in his heart was like a knife cutting her heart.
She recognized the guard Lu Jinsheng who came to report the news. Although she couldn't see the situation outside through the door, Lu Jinsheng was the guard who supervised the Longxi Duke Mansion. This person's voice was familiar. When he came to meet the saint at this time, he must be related to the Longxi Duke Mansion.
But now she has become a weak woman, so what can she do?
Her tears of sorrow came down, but she did not dare to cry out loud.
Queen Xiao Zhou had no choice but to cry under the quilt, covered her mouth tightly with her hands, and let her tears wet her pillowcase.
As she got into the quilt, her body was throbbing, afraid that she would never be able to realize her dream with Li Yu again!
But now that he has become a prisoner, how can he have any freedom?
How can a weak woman bear morality when she is a soft shoulder?
outdoor.
Lu Jinsheng also cleverly followed Zhao Guangyi, walked a few steps away, then went forward and knelt down, whispering to Li Yu’s abnormality tonight.
When Zhao Guangyi heard the news, he was very angry and very angry. He clenched his fists with both hands and really wanted to beat Li Yu up immediately.
In an instant, the scene of "the sound of the candle shadow and axe" flashed through his mind, and he immediately calmed down.
He said to himself: In order to be the emperor, I dare to kill even my own brother! What's more, Li Yu, you are just a surrendered lord in the Southern Tang Dynasty? Humph! This is you, Li Yu, who is seeking death, and I can't blame me for being cruel!
