Quick Wear: There is always a female supporting role tearing up the script

Yan Huaiming and Chu Yanning left side by side. They walked across the corridor. The sun was shining brightly today. He took her around the lake, broke off a few willow branches, and wrapped them around his hands several times to form a circle.

He put it upright on Chu Yanning's head.

Chu Yanning raised his hand and touched it, "Why are you treating me like a child?"

"I love you, so I treat you like a child." Yan Huaiming took her hand and walked forward with her.

She hooked his palm, looked up and called him, "Xi He."

There are Fusu trees on the mountain, and lotus flowers in the marshes. There are also gentlemen who are as polished as a jade.

His courtesy name is Xihe.

Yan Huaiming raised the corners of his lips and responded softly.

He did not leave the Shaoyang Marquis Mansion. All kinds of speculations came from outside, and no one knew where they came from. They said that Master Yan's heart was pierced by the sword, and there was no medicine to cure him. He might not live long.

At that time, the State of Chu was overthrown by internal and external troubles. Zong Zhengrong started out as a bandit and gathered tens of thousands of soldiers in Yongzhou City, which was adjacent to Shangjing City. When Erdun first reached the Yulan River and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers were heading to the border, he suddenly sent troops to attack Shangjing, occupied the palace, and proclaimed himself king.

His initial boldness and success came from Zhao Xuzhen, the top scholar who was demoted to a commoner by the Emperor of Chu for corruption and whose descendants were never allowed to enter officialdom. He joined a bandit's den, colluded with the Liao people, and offered advice to Zong Zhengrong.

"The boss is a man of great talent and strategy, able to gather the loyalty of tens of thousands of people. Why would he continue to be a bandit in hiding?"

He always liked to play the role of the fisherman. No matter whether Zong Zhengrong or Erdun won, he could have a place in the court.

Hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Huaizhou fought desperately to defend the city, and only less than 10% of them were left before Erdun was forced to retreat.

They won, but the dynasty they were loyal to had been replaced.

But when Zong Zhengrong occupied the blood-stained imperial city, he would probably never have imagined that just thirteen years later, his son would be pulled off the throne defenselessly in a similar situation.

Zong Zhenglin is now under house arrest in his palace, with dozens of guards on duty, watching him day and night to prevent him from committing suicide.

Zong Zhenglin couldn't sleep. He was more terrified of him being alive than of him dying.

Zhao Xuzhen was led away in front of him by Yan Chongfu. This legendary patriarch of the Yan family, the head of an aristocratic family that never interfered in matters of imperial power, slapped Zhao Xuzhen's face and wished he could eat him alive. But in the end, he only plunged his sword into Zhao Xuzhen's thighs. Amid Zhao Xuzhen's wails, he calmly wiped the blood from the sword with a handkerchief and ordered lightly, "Take him away. Let him live a little longer."

Yan Chongfu's gaze shifted to the trembling little emperor. He was frail, and the dragon robe looked like someone else's. He said coldly, "Leave him alone. My son will take care of him when he comes back."

This scene was almost Zong Zhenglin's daily nightmare.

How dare he go against the Yan family? How dare he betray Yan Huaiming!

It was all the fault of that treacherous Zhao Xuzhen. He knelt on the ground and presented him with the correspondence between him and Yan Chongfu. He said: "Over the years, Yan Chongfu has been ambitious and has relied on his power to force me to do many wrong things. He has controlled me, and his son has bewitched Your Majesty. The world is now ruled by the Yan family."

He tearfully pleaded, "My heart is as bright as the sun and the moon, and it is solely for Your Majesty."

He stood up and took off the golden hairpin on his head. Zong Zhenglin stepped back vigilantly, but saw him wave his hand and cut his belt. He was naked under his robe, revealing his deformed and ugly lower body.

"When the late emperor was dying, he appointed me as regent because of my loyalty. I pledge to the late emperor with my actions that the Zhao family will never rule the world."

"Your Majesty," he said, his face filled with tears, but he smiled, "I am the only one who is wholeheartedly devoted to you. For the continuation of the Zongzheng family's foundation, Yan Huaiming must die."

He believed his words, colluded with Erdun, and opened the door for the Liao army everywhere, forcing Yan Huaiming to go to the border.

He thought naively that since Yan Huaiming died at the hands of the Liao people, the Yan family would not be able to find fault with him. Yan Chongfu had only this one son, and none of his nephews and nephews from other branches were more capable than Yan Huaiming.

The Yan family will decline from then on, and the Zong Zheng family's centuries-old foundation will continue, and his name will be recorded in history books.

But his beautiful dream lasted less than half a year and turned into a nightmare today.

He knew Yan Huaiming's methods, and his fate would not be better than Zhao Xuzhen who fell into Yan Chongfu's hands.

This is the 23rd day of his house arrest.

There is still no news about Yan Huaiming, and many people can't help but wonder whether he is dead.

Although his relationship with Zong Zhenglin was unknown to outsiders and the aristocratic families had never interfered in the court, he defended Cangzhou and immediately returned to rescue the emperor. At this time, in the eyes of everyone, he was a member of Zong Zhenglin's party.

The news of his death will only plunge those who truly still have hope for this dynasty into despair.

This despair reached its peak when a letter written by Zong Zhenglin to Erdun was made public by General Huo.

The news spread quickly. Zhang Zheng, the governor of Yongzhou, who was still holding on and even launching several attacks on Shangjing, fell off his horse when he learned that Zong Zhenglin had deliberately opened the gate of Huizhou in order to let the Liao people get around Yan Huaiming and give him a fatal blow by surprise.

This is the Majesty whom he has been supporting.

“When people are in despair, hope becomes even more precious.”

Marquis Shaoyang contacted various princes and raised an army under Zhou Mi.

He claimed that he had found the princess of Chu State, and that Zong Zhengrong was seeking power and usurping the throne, and that Chu was the legitimate royal family.

Yan Huaiming's carriage fell behind his army. Magnolias were painted on the black walls of the carriage, and a bronze bell hung under the eaves.

One look and you'll know it's the Yan family's carriage.

When they arrived at Jeju, the general guarding the city, Qi Rong, stood on the city wall and watched them approach from afar. Two rows of archers were ready to attack, but Qi Rong did not give the order.

Qi Yu reined in his horse and stopped outside the city gate. The army was parked neatly behind him. Yan Huaiming's carriage drove from the end all the way to Qi Yu's side.

The curtain of the car was lifted by a bony hand. Yan Huaiming's face was still pale and sickly.

He stood outside the car and looked up at Qi Rong, "General Qi, long time no see."
