The world is so wild, I want to go to Kang Kang

Zhao Zhang was also stunned. He only wanted to celebrate Lailai's birthday grandly this year, but ignored the reality that she was about to become an adult.

The prince also came of age this year, but his birthday was heard to be less than two months late.

Twenty years have passed, and the nightmare between him and his sister has also quietly passed for twenty years.

Liu Yi's rebellion almost destroyed the foundation of the Jin Dynasty. Within a few years, the number of people who died accounted for two-thirds of the country's population. It was a tragedy rarely seen in the world.

The reason was that his father, the emperor, became senile in his later years and favored Siming, appointing him as the Protector-General of Beiting.

The Protector General was a general sent by the Jin Dynasty to guard important border towns. However, Siming was a native Hu man from Beiting, who was good at seducing the emperor and making a fool of himself to please his father, but the prime minister Liu Guozeng at that time had an enmity with him.

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Yi Siming led the Beiting Hu people to march south, using the excuse of "clearing the emperor's side and attacking rebellious ministers". He raised an army in Yanyun, quickly occupied Hebei and Taiyuan, and headed straight for the capital Luoyang.

Yi Siming had long been scheming to change his mind, and had been lying dormant for many years. Once he rose to power, he led his people to march a thousand miles a day, and was invincible wherever he went.

The Jin Dynasty had been prosperous for nearly two hundred years, and the people had never experienced war for generations. Upon hearing this, everyone was in a panic. The people abandoned the city and fled, and the soldiers threw away their helmets and armor. In just a few days, the city of Jin was lost so easily.

When the news of the war reached Luoyang, my father did not take it seriously at first, thinking that it was just a slander made up by someone with ulterior motives. It was not until Yi Siming reached the gate of Kyoto that he realized something was wrong.

But it was too late, he missed the opportunity and led the royal family to flee westward.

Accompanying the team were the Prince and Princess Yongyi, now His Majesty and the Royal Concubine.

Conflicts and infighting never stopped on the way to escape.

After the late crown prince was executed, the remaining adult princes were eyeing the throne. At this time, the soldiers could no longer tolerate it and launched a mutiny, demanding that the late emperor abdicate immediately and choose the next successor to the Jin Dynasty.

The late emperor was unwilling but had no choice, but the choice of person was a problem.

The candidates, excluding the young prince, are the third prince Zhao Qi, the fifth prince Zhao Rui, the sixth prince Zhao Yu and the ninth prince Zhao Zhang.

The Third Prince was ruthless and killed five or six of his brothers that night. Because the Ninth Prince was far away and young, he was less afraid than the others, so he was left to be dealt with last.

Shi Yue, the wife of Prince Yongyi at the time, was smart and alert. She had sensed the murderous intentions of the Third Prince when the mutiny took place during the day. Therefore, when night fell, she woke up Zhao Zhang and fled to the mountains.

Shi Yue and Zhao Zhang are cousins. Her aunt and his mother are sisters from the same mother. The two grew up together and have an extraordinary relationship.

She was one year older than him, girls grew faster, were taller, and had a cheerful and generous personality. She often took him out to play.

Therefore, he called her Sister, and the name never changed until they got married.

The pursuers were coming very quickly, and since neither of them practiced martial arts, they were naturally no match for the well-trained soldiers.

In addition, Zhao Zhang was bitten by a flower snake while protecting her, and gradually became unable to do anything.

"Sister, you, you go by yourself. I'm afraid I can't do it." Zhao Zhang let go of their tightly clasped hands and pushed her away tremblingly.

Thinking of the fact that they had been childhood sweethearts for 16 years and had been married for only one year before they had to part ways with each other, he could not help but feel sad. But he could not bear to see his wife die so early, as she was still young. If she could survive this disaster, there would be endless possibilities in the future.

"What nonsense! I will not leave you alone. Husband and wife should share the same bed in life and the same grave in death. It doesn't matter if I go to the underworld with you."

Shi Yue was not a dodder who depended on men. She could read and write, and understood etiquette. She could not do the same thing as everyone else running away when disaster struck.

Zhao Zhang wanted to persuade him again, but he was knocked unconscious by the dizziness. Shi Yue had learned some medical knowledge and knew that the poison was not fatal, but he could not wake up for a while.

The pursuers are right before their eyes. If they don't make a decision now, both of them will die here.

She found some dead branches and leaves to cover Zhao Zhang's body. He was lying in a sunken hole, and with the cover on, it was dark at night and no one could see clearly.

She took one last look at her husband, then stood up and ran away in the opposite direction, making noises as she ran to attract the pursuers.

When Zhao Zhang woke up again, what he saw was their makeshift base camp.

A group of people knelt on the ground and surrendered.

Yesterday, the Third Prince brutally killed his brothers. The late Emperor was deeply saddened and quickly arrested and brought him to justice. He found that the Ninth Prince had not been confirmed dead yet, so he sent troops into the mountains to search for him. They found him in a low-lying area, but did not find the princess who was traveling with him.

According to the confession of the Third Prince's subordinates who were later captured alive, Princess Yongyi was chased to the cliff by the pursuers and had no way to escape. She was afraid of being captured and tortured for the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince.

Finally, he jumped off a cliff to fulfill his ambition.

When Zhao Zhang heard the news, he went crazy and went to the cliff to look for her, but the Siming army was approaching. Under the threat of national destruction, he had no choice but to swallow the pain of losing his wife.

Turn grief into strength and preserve the current military strength before returning to Luoyang.

Three years later, he first sent all the royal family members to Shuzhong, where the terrain was difficult to attack. Then he ascended the throne there, led the army to fight in person, and gradually captured the two capitals occupied by the rebels.

However, his Princess Yongyi was never found again.

He also felt guilty towards her. His elder sister died to save him, and he should have followed her, but he was held back by the responsibility of his family and country. In the past few years, in order to stabilize the military and the people's hearts, he also married into the Shu region and established a queen.

He thought that he would be nailed to the pillar of shame for being heartless, disloyal, and cowardly for the rest of his life, and that he would be worthy of seeing his elder sister only after being cut into pieces and hammered thousands of times after death.

After suppressing Liu Yizhi's rebellion, he moved the capital to Chang'an, and thus began a decade of recuperation for the Jin Dynasty under his rule.

During the reign of the previous emperor, the nobles annexed land and controlled it beyond their control, which led to the growth of Liu Guozeng's power and laid the fuse for the chaos in Siming.

Therefore, after he took office, he promoted the poor and suppressed the clans.

Emphasis was placed on the talent selection system of the imperial examination system, avoiding the invalid examinations that were once controlled by aristocratic clans.

At the same time, we should promote martial arts, strengthen border construction, and improve the quality of the army, so as to build a strong army that can be mobilized to fight whenever there is a war.

In the first year of reconstruction, the imperial examinations and military examinations selected one top scholar each.

In order to show his respect and appreciation for talent, he personally hosted a banquet to congratulate the top three winners in the imperial examination.

He remembered clearly that harmony between the ruler and his subjects should be like a family feast, so he allowed them to bring their wives and children.

Zhao Zhang and the Queen were present at the event, and the emperor and his subjects celebrated together, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

We are so excited and raise our glass to toast the number one scholar.

The champion has a handsome face, a straight figure, and is a model of courtesy in his every move. During the palace examination earlier, I had sensed his lofty ambitions in his words and deeds. It is a great fortune for the Jin Dynasty to have such a talent.

Just as he was about to raise his glass, he saw the number one scholar raise his arm to reveal the woman who had been sitting quietly and elegantly behind him.

It was just half a face, but it was enough to make him excited.

Sister!
