In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

All the officials were in tears. Xue Haiping had 50,000 soldiers under his command. How could the emperor be so crazy as to kill the son of a good general in court? Even a meritorious official like Xue Zecheng who had a red book and iron certificate could be killed. What about their lives?

The eunuch Zhang Zhao was very pleased. Meng Songqing and Xue Zecheng were both dead. When all the loyal ministers and generals were dead, he would have the final say in government affairs. He made a slanderous statement:

"Your Majesty, General Guo will definitely not commit treason. Please ask him to escort the orphan."

With a clang, the sword in Emperor Hui's hand fell to the ground. He was so mad that he drew another sword and pointed it at every court official. He staggered to an old official and said:

"General Guo Yi of the Left Guard, I have ordered you to escort the orphans of the Prince of Jin's residence to the palace. You dare to disobey my order and are guilty of conspiracy to rebel. You will be executed immediately."

Guo Yi recognized this sword. It was the sword that Emperor Ming used to threaten Mu Jinan. The foolish and incompetent emperor was so afraid of women that he was no better than a stupid child or a dull man. But he could not curse him out loud because he still had a family.

Although Guo Yi was not gifted, he was famous when he was young. At the age of fifteen, he won the first place in martial arts and led the army to recover three states.

Later, he followed King Xie Shenghuang of Wei to the battlefield. Guo Yi cut down the flag and captured the king. The captured was King Li Jie of Qi, who had attracted a tiger to kill his father, seized the kingship, killed many chiefs, and cut off his son's arm.

The person Li Jie admired most in his life was Guo Yi. Guo Yi was not only Xie Shenghuang's right-hand man, but also Xie Shenghuang's brother. The two were close friends.

When the enemy burned the camp, it was Xie Shenghuang who risked his life to rescue three people. If it weren't for saving him, Xie Shenghuang would not have suffered from eye disease, would not have died from the killer, and Xie Chibei would not have grown up alone.

Guo Yi never thought that he was just a small deputy general, and Xie Shenghuang, whom Emperor Ming valued the most, would try his best to save him.

Guo Yi was a man of generous temperament. Since the death of Xie Shenghuang, he became taciturn and never interacted with court officials. For the past eight years, he went to the imperial mausoleum to visit Xie Shenghuang every month. Every time he visited Xie Shenghuang, he cried bitterly, feeling guilty for not finding the murderer yet.

When Lin Xiuyuan disappeared, Guo Yi knew that someone had successfully assassinated him. He went to the imperial mausoleum and sat at Xie Shenghuang's tombstone for a whole day. He brought Xie Shenghuang's favorite daughter's red wine, as he heard that Jiang Xiaoyue liked to drink this wine.

Guo Yi believed in Xie Shenghuang's order, but did not dare to interact with Xie Chibei, for fear of arousing the emperor's suspicion and implicating Xie Chibei innocently.

Guo Yi is a loyal and righteous man. How could he succumb to a treacherous minister? How could he hurt an innocent child? The young man's bronze skin is reflected in the sword in Emperor Hui's hand, reflecting his "passion" to die calmly:

"Your Majesty, do you want to force all the generals to death? If the enemy army comes to the city one day, who will defend the city and fight for you? When the emperor was in power, although he was afraid of the generals, he never killed them. He wanted someone to defend the country for him in the future. But you listened to the eunuchs, seized the military power, and killed the good generals? I'm sorry that I can't obey your order. I can kill the enemy, but I can't kill my people."

Emperor Hui was like a bird of prey trapped in a cage, trying to break through the limit and become a tiger. He roared hard to intimidate the ministers. He had never been so panicked before, and madness was written all over his face:

"Guo Yi, you disobeyed my order. Take him away and behead him on the spot. Anyone who dares to plead for mercy will also be beheaded."

"Hahaha..." Guo Yi looked down at the cowardly emperor in front of him and laughed loudly. Then he took off his official hat and walked out of the dim Xuanzheng Hall like a great general. He stood in the Ziming Palace, where spring breeze brings life to all things except him, where he died regretfully.

The imperial guard Xu Junyao held a long sword with tears in his eyes. This was their trusted superior. Guo Yi had strict military discipline and clear rewards and punishments. The soldiers under him, those who were capable were promoted, and those who were mediocre were kept at their posts.

But today, Xu Junyao is going to take action himself and kill the general who has done him a favor.

Emperor Hui stood behind him and urged Xu Junyao: "Why are you so hesitant? Do you want to die with him?"

Xu Junyao's eyes were filled with tears, his heart ached, and he swung the sword towards Guo Yi's neck: "General, I'm sorry."

A streak of bright red splashed onto the ridge beasts of the Xuanzheng Palace. Guo Yi stood still and staggered to the ground, blood spurting out from the side of his neck. This sword did not hurt as much as the enemy's stab in the abdomen, but it destroyed his heart and loyal soul throughout his life.

Guo Yi stretched out his hand and touched the little finger that was cut off by the enemy. He didn't know that his finger was taken away by a wolf in the snow. It was after the battle that he was injured and fell into the hands of the enemy. He tried his best to escape from the enemy camp and almost froze to death in the snow.

It was Xie Shenghuang who found him. His brothers saved him many times and regarded him as a good general that the country could not lose. They cherished his life, but he died easily in the court of Chunri. Guo Yi said with difficulty:

"The winter snow does not come across the general's heart, and his blood is shed on the battlefield. The spring green of the city buries the general's soul, and his loyalty is for the prosperity of his country."

There were several critical situations in the court, and Guo Yi spoke out frankly. He was not the prime minister who caused the prosperity of a country, but he was an indispensable court official of the prosperous country and a famous general and loyal minister who was recorded in history.

It is precisely because of the numerous court officials, each performing their duties, that the government can be stable and the world can be peaceful, rather than judging merits based on the size of the official position.

Every honest official and every citizen is a protagonist in the long river of his or her own life.

Over the past twenty years, Guo Yi has crossed the red threshold of the palace countless times. He did not die on the battlefield, but died because of the eunuchs' slander. Guo Yi stroked the wound on his little finger and saw Xie Shenghuang coming to pick him up. He reached out and took Xie Shenghuang's bloody hand. His brother came to save him!

Outside the palace, red blood flowed with the spring rain, floating on every clear stream in Sheng'an City. Guo Yi's name was engraved in the hearts of every imperial guard and every court official.

The hall was as quiet as a snowy night. All officials bowed their heads and wept. The tyrant emperor had actually killed three loyal ministers, Meng Songqing, Xue Zecheng, and Guo Yi, in one day.

Cui Hengling, who had always been treacherous, was still shocked. He didn't know what would become of him. He felt that Zhang Zhao had complete control over Emperor Hui. Cui Hengling was using eunuchs, but he would not allow Zhang Zhao to seize power before him. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhang Zhao glanced at all the officials and planned a new play in his mind. Wang Zhengzhong, Yan Yi, Huang Guo and others had already killed two generals today. He must not arouse public anger and must also give Emperor Hui a way out.

Zhang Zhao glanced at Xu Junyao standing outside. He thought that if he could kill his superior, he would not care about the life of an orphan. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, why not send Xu Junyao to the Prince of Jin's Mansion?"

Emperor Hui had no regrets at all. The courtiers who disobeyed the emperor's order were only beheaded, and their property was not confiscated or exterminated. This was because he was kind and benevolent. He waved his sleeves and said:

"Xu Junyao, I appoint you as the General of the Left Guard. Go to the Prince of Jin's Mansion immediately and bring back the orphan."

Xu Junyao looked dazed. He was the traitor among all the civil and military officials in the court. He was just born in a poor family and was still a small soldier after seven years of hard work in the imperial army. He wanted to cherish his life:

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I obey your command."

The tragedy finally ended, and the bad news quickly spread throughout Sheng'an City and even Kyushu.

Meng Songqing had only one daughter, Meng Ying. She fainted several times after hearing the news, but Emperor Hui did not cancel her engagement with Xie Chibei.

Xue Haiping, who was far away in Hu Yu, learned that his second son died at the hands of Emperor Hui. He wanted to return to Sheng'an City to bury Xue Zecheng, but was stopped by Emperor Hui. At that time, Xiao Hechuan was ordered to inspect, and Xue Haiping was falsely accused of embezzling military rations, and he could not save himself.

It is unknown who brought the news to the Prince of Jin's Palace. When Xu Junyao went to the palace, the older children had already escaped, and he brought back more than 500 children.

Jiang Yanqing was taken to Lingnan. Many officials felt sorry for losing such a young talent like him. He could write poems at the age of three and essays at the age of five. He passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve. His "On National Strength" at the age of thirteen was recorded in history. He was a talent that could become a prime minister.

Jiang Yanqing served as an official for six years with loyalty and dedication, and performed his duties conscientiously, but he was arbitrarily charged with a crime and exiled to Lingnan.

Jiang Yanqing is a noble and dignified young man, who is more elegant than a pine tree. There are many women who are willing to marry him, but he falls in love with Mu Qingyin at first sight and decides to make her his wife.

Mu Qingyin liked the military general Yan Yi, so Jiang Yanqing asked his father to teach him swordsmanship. He actually had a talent for martial arts. At the moment, more than a dozen people could not get close to him, and he had not yet had the chance to show his swordsmanship in front of her.

Jiang Yanqing learned that Mu Qingyin liked flying kites. He had just made a kite a few days ago and had not had time to give it to her.

Mu Qingyin liked to go to the teahouse to listen to stories. Jiang Yanqing would always pretend to meet her by chance and sit at the same table with her, thinking that she would never be able to listen to stories again.

Mu Qingyin didn't like painting, but liked to paint her own portrait, so Jiang Yanqing painted thirty paintings, all of which were portraits of her. The women in the paintings were elegant, lively, beautiful and graceful.

In the paintings, there is her catching koi in the pond when we first met, there is her listening to books, there is her playing the flute, there is her appreciating osmanthus flowers, and there is her eating.

Mu Qingyin still told Jiang Yanqing that she didn't like him.

On a desolate path outside Sheng'an City, Jiang Yanqing sat in a prison cart and looked at the distant Sheng'an City. His father Jiang Xiaobai was under house arrest, and Emperor Hui did not allow anyone to see him off.

Jiang Yanqing didn't like practicing martial arts since he was a child, because he had his cousin Xie Chibei to protect him. He and Gu Wenxuan both liked to be with Xie Chibei. The three of them were like brothers, but they could never be together again.

Jiang Yanqing looked up at Chiwu, and saw only a pitch-black cloud. Sadness filled his eyes and gradually turned into tears that drowned his past achievements.

Jiang Yanqing no longer had the carefree life he once had, nor could he see the person he loved. His regrets drifted away to Sheng'an City with the wind:

"Alas, my parents, you have worked so hard to give birth to me. I want to repay your kindness, but the heavens are boundless. Father, mother, I am sorry for you. Please take care of yourself."

"Mu Qingyin, I admire you, I present you with a koi kite, and I am willing to attend the apricot blossom banquet in March."

"Thank you Chibei, I wish you great favor, a strong foundation and prosperous branches, to eliminate evil and righteousness, to bring peace to the world, and to share the same spirit. Gu Wenxuan, are you still competing with me for Chibei?"

When Xie Chibei was taken to the Ministry of Justice prison, Jiang Yanqing could not sleep at night. During the ten days of detention, he visited him four times, always worried that someone was plotting to harm his cousin.

That day, he, Xie Chibei, and Gu Wenxuan were staying in the Prince of Jin's Mansion, where the whole garden was filled with red flowers. They sat under the sycamore tree. Xie Chibei said he would treat him to the imperial sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Jiang Yanqing has been waiting for Xie Chibei's osmanthus wine, and waiting for Xie Chibei to say that he would drink with you all next Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Swoosh!" A cold arrow shot from the north and pierced his heart directly. Jiang Yanqing felt a sharp pain in his heart. He lowered his eyes to see the arrow clearly. His messy black hair scattered on his cheeks, covering his sad bloodshot eyes. The smell of blood surged on his lips and tongue, seeping through his white clothes drop by drop. A sad and helpless smile flashed across Jiang Yanqing's lips, and he closed his eyes and forgot about this life:

"Jin Chong, a cup of osmanthus wine flows half the moon, and the fragrance spreads over the pavilions for ten miles. In the next life, ninety frost shadows are bright, and I will get drunk with you and enjoy the joy of youth."

"Philosophy serves the people, and the wind of pine trees knows no bounds. I, Jiang Yuanjing, died to protect the people. I am a wise minister. My ambition and blood flow through every inch of land in Kyushu. My advice to the people will never end."

Jiang Yanqing is waiting for the autumn wind on the road to flutter the wine flags, and the stringed instruments at the riverside to chase. When the sea is peaceful and the river is clear, it is time to cultivate culture and stop fighting.

The young man Jiang Yanqing, who was waiting to drink osmanthus wine with his brothers during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the talented censor Jiang Yuanjing, who was waiting for the people to be well fed, the country to be safe and the government to be clear, sat between the sky and the earth covered by dark clouds, walked on the vicissitudes of life and desolate loess, with his back against the bumpy cage with hard and thick fences.

Jiang Yanqing was wearing a tattered white shirt with a glaring black word "Prisoner" on the front of the shirt, slandering his integrity and righteousness, and drowning out his great achievements in serving the country and the people throughout his life. His black hair hung in front of his eyes, blocking his way from looking at his parents in Sheng'an City, the way from seeing his brothers, to seeing his beloved woman, and flying koi and kites with her.

Jiang Yanqing had prepared the betrothal gifts to propose marriage. As his breathing became weaker and weaker, he saw Mu Qingyin in a green wedding dress. The "red" one was beautiful and generous, and she was eccentric. She gave him a green fan. Jiang Yanqing took the red fan, gently stroked Mu Qingyin's cheek, leaned over and closed his eyes and asked her: "Mu Qingyin, I will marry you, will you..."

Jiang Yanqing's head suddenly dropped and hit the wood of the prison cart. The purple robe could no longer be worn by him. How sad it was that a loyal minister who worked hard for the country and reduced the people's taxes died on the road to exile?

Mu Qingyin learned from her father Mu Xiang that Jiang Yanqing was exiled. She, who was always bright and cheerful, was in tears. She wanted to catch up with the prison van and tell Jiang Yanqing the truth.

While Mu Qingyin was still waiting for him to make the kite and fly it together, she told him:

"Mu Qingyin likes Jiang Yanqing. We are a perfect match. I am waiting for you to make a kite for me. Brother Yuan Jing, I regret it. I fell in love with you when you gave me a koi lantern during the Lantern Festival."

Mu Xiang didn't want Emperor Hui to think that he also wanted to rebel, so he stopped Mu Qingyin from leaving the house. Soon, news came that Jiang Yanqing had been assassinated.

Mu Qingyin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma. Many doctors in the mansion were helpless. When she woke up on the third day, she saw portraits on the table, all of which were small portraits painted for her by Jiang Yanqing.

Emperor Hui declared that Jiang Yanqing was a traitor and buried him after three days of mourning.

Mu Qingyin, wearing mourning clothes, stood in front of Jiang Yanqing's tombstone. Her face was pale, her eyes were silent and sad, and she was holding a koi kite in her hand. She called his name for a long time in front of the grave.

Jiang Yanqing did not answer.

A few days ago, he was still following her and calling her Xiao Qingyin. Now, they are separated by the Yin and Yang. Mu Qingyin grew up in love and was an extremely optimistic and open-minded woman. It was impossible for her to be so sad for a man.

Mu Qingyin held the kite tightly in one hand and used all her strength to crash into the stone tablet. Blood flowed down her forehead, dyeing the green koi red. In Mu Qingyin's eyes, the green she saw was red, until the blood dyed the koi kite red.

She then realized that Jiang Yanqing was taking care of all her emotions. Mu Qingyin didn't want anyone to find out that she couldn't tell the difference between colors. After Yan Yi found out, he gradually became cold towards her.

Jiang Yanqing made her a green koi kite.

In front of the tombstone was her thin figure. She had once spoken up for her cousin Mu Jinan and lived a carefree and happy life for fourteen years. She said she didn't like Jiang Yanqing, but she came for the love of her life:

"Jiang Yanqing, wait for me. Don't leave me alone on the road to the underworld."

In front of the uninscribed tombstone on a barren hillside, there is a tree full of green with clusters of white and pink petals. The strong wind blew from all directions, and the pink apricot blossoms on the tree fell like rain, all covering her green wedding dress. This was the wedding dress embroidered by Mu Qingyin herself. Jiang Yanqing probably wouldn't mind her getting married in a green wedding dress. The strong wind blew away the green koi kite in her hand and floated it to the edge of the pond.

When they first met, Mu Qingyin caught a koi carp to roast and eat. She got her sleeves wet, and it was Jiang Yanqing who wrung them dry for her.

Jiang Yanqing would never know that Mu Qingyin liked him, and he would never know that she dared to die by hitting her head against a tombstone. He would rather Mu Qingyin didn't like him, and he would definitely not want Mu Qingyin to die like this.

In March, at the apricot blossom banquet, Qingyin married Yanqing, green clothes and red blessings came, and the tombstone buried Qing’s soul.
