Prison Dragon

It describes the story of the state of Qi after it was destroyed. It may be adjusted to the main text, involving some new characters. The time is probably after Mu Yun and Yang You finish telling the story.

一

The fire illuminates the dark and silent night sky of Qi.

What filled the royal city was not the clamor of market merchants, but the iron hooves of Liu Heng's army.

Yang Sheng dreamed of the scene at that time again, and woke up from the dream in a trance, the jade porcelain pillow was soaked with cold tears.

She saw Liu Heng who was sleeping soundly opened his eyes in a daze, and asked softly in a hoarse voice: "Sheng'er, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." She took a silk handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks from the bedside table, gently wiped away the tears on the pillow, and laughed softly, "I just remembered some old things."

"Your Majesty, go to sleep." She stroked the new emperor's black hair and rested her head on the man's chest.

Closing her eyes, she saw in her dream that her father Xue Wang Yang Du had quietly locked the gate of the palace, knelt in front of the ancestral hall and cried loudly, "Heaven will kill me Daqi!"

Then there was flames all over the sky, igniting the entire closed palace.

The queen mother wore the most gorgeous neon clothes and committed suicide in front of the ancestral hall. The blood splashed on the faces of her and her sister, which was so hot that the servants screamed and wailed.

The country is broken and the family is destroyed.

The sky was dim, from black to dark blue, shrouding the ground dimly.

The chief eunuch hurried over to wake Liu Heng up, and also woke up Mu Yun who was beside him. Liu Heng reprimanded him softly, and the chief eunuch took it with a smile.

He knew that Liu Heng indulged Mu Yun very much.

There are noble concubines and queens in the palace, and there are a lot of concubines with high status. Only this maid who has nothing is the most powerful person in the palace.

Everyone is guessing when she will become pregnant with the dragon seed, and the queen has been really worried about this matter for a long time.

Because all the women in the harem know that once Mu Yun is pregnant with the dragon seed, it will be the time when she officially ascends to the top of the harem.

Seeing that Mu Yun woke up early, Liu Heng was not happy, so he ordered his servants to take good care of her mood today, and not to ask Aunt Mu Yun to do anything, and just give her what she wants.

Mu Yun laughed when she heard the words: "I'm not a child, so how can I be angry because I got up early?"

"Aren't you my little girl?" Liu Heng leaned over and brushed Mu Yun's broken hair away from her face, revealing her clear eyes.

With palace people watching, Mu Yun's face suddenly turned red, and she avoided Liu Heng's hand, "There are still people watching, so I don't feel ashamed to say such things."

She got up and waited for Liu Heng to put on the black king's suit, the dragon pattern on the neckline swam with the king's turn.Some fine light came through the window, reflecting on Liu Heng's face together with the dim candlelight.

It was a youthful and domineering face, with a straight nose, deep and handsome eyebrows, and ambitious eyes.It was the new emperor Liu Heng who destroyed Qi and forced Yang You, the last emperor of Qi, to surrender.

Mu Yun looked at Liu Heng, and the face of the disobedient Hou appeared in his mind unconsciously.With such a peerless face, how majestic it should be wearing a dragon robe.

Why would she think of disobedience...

She was a little flustered, and asked casually: "Your Majesty is making such noise today, but what news is there that is worth ten thousand gold?"

Liu Heng and the chief eunuch looked at each other tacitly, and smiled without saying a word.

Mu Yun raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Let's just say nothing."

Liu Heng sat on the edge of the bed, hugged her in his arms, and pinched her face, "You dare to be presumptuous in front of the widow. There is news today that Yang Chixin has surrendered, and Tielan will escort him back soon." Beijing."

Tie Lan was a general who surrendered to Qi State. She almost died on the battlefield, but she was rescued and followed Liu Heng faithfully.

Yang Chixin is one of Yang You's loyal ministers, occupying the southwest, and has been stubbornly resisting.

Yang Chixin actually surrendered?

Mu Yun was a little dazed. Yang Chi's surrender meant that Liu Heng had completely unified the world.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Mu Yun couldn't help being happy for him.

Southwest has a very important position in Liu Heng's heart. After all, it is his hometown. It is not a problem that Yang Chixin has been stuck there, and now it is finally resolved.

Liu Heng forced a kiss on her cheek, "I have to deal with a lot of business today, and I can't come back to accompany you. What arrangements do you have?"

"The servant girl has already reported to the king before that the disease of the disobedient Hou has returned, and I want to go and see him."

Liu Heng nodded, "I'll let Liuying take you there."

"No need," Mu Yun got up from Liu Heng's arms, "Let Liu Ying do things for you, since I let the servant go to the disobedient Hou, don't do anything more to make the disobedient Hou suspicious. Go yourself."

"Okay, take good care of yourself." Liu Heng bowed his head and kissed Mu Yun's forehead, and led a group of palace people out of Qingliang Palace.

Yang Sheng waited for Liu Heng's carriage to leave the harem, and immediately packed up his things and went to the teaching workshop.

Elder brother Yang Xuan just got up, and the maid helped him to wash and dress him. He was once the glorious prince of Prince Xue's mansion, and he was a younger brother who was favored by the emperor. Yang Sheng didn't know what happened in the court, but she knew that there was a kind of It was rumored that Yang You wanted to raise Yang Xuan as the emperor's younger brother.

But now Yang Xuan is under house arrest in the teaching workshop with singers and dancers.

Yang Xuan covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed vigorously for a while, Yang Sheng saw traces of bright red leaking from the pure white silk, she was almost about to cry.

"It's freezing cold, brother, please pay attention to your body."

"Concubine Noble Concubine is concerned." Yang Xuan didn't take it seriously, "It's all a chronic illness."

Yang Xuan waved his large sleeves, signaling the maids to step back, leaving only the brother and sister sitting quietly in the room.

Yang Sheng said hesitantly, "I heard a message from the palace man today, and the military report from the Southwest came."

Yang Xuan's hand that was pouring tea trembled suddenly, the tea splashed on the table, and a few drops of hot tea fell on him, but he didn't notice it either.

There was a cold light in his black phoenix eyes, "how is it?"

Yang Sheng couldn't bear to close his eyes, "Yang Chi has surrendered, and he will be escorted back to Beijing soon."

Yang Xuan fell to the ground, and turned over the teacup with his wide sleeves, "As soon as General Yang Chixin surrendered, Liu Heng completely controlled the world. There is no hope for my country of Qi to be restored!"

Yang Xuan's voice was close to crying, and at the end, drops of blood splashed on his white clothes, big tears fell from his eyes, his whole body was dejected, like a decaying weed. Grass.

Yang Sheng looked at his brother's desperate appearance, and felt sad in his heart.

It seems that not so long ago, she was still a young girl, enjoying luxurious clothes and fine food all day long, indulging in the splendor and splendor of the Qi royal family with her family, thinking that such a life could last for thousands of years.

Unexpectedly, Liu Heng's soldiers and horses came so fast, besieging the city for nearly a year, and it was too late to escape.

The Ling Emperor Yang Ting had no daughter, and his sons died in the process of seizing the throne. Together with other princesses, she was dragged before Liu Heng, and became Liu Heng's tool to bridge the old and new dynasties. A member of the harem.

At that time, she was depressed, and she thought of dying every day. It was her brother who made a plan to ask her to listen to the news by Liu Heng's side.

"Is there any news from His Majesty?"

This His Majesty only refers to one person—the Last Emperor Yang You.

Yang Sheng shook his head feebly, "Liu Heng forbids anyone to approach His Majesty's palace, there are hidden guards around the palace, and the people inside can't come out, and they don't know about His Majesty's news at all, they can only see food and some utensils." They were all sent in on time. He recently put his favorite court lady next to His Majesty, and he didn't know what he wanted to do."

Yang Xuan was almost desperate, watching the chances gradually decrease until the last stubborn force disappeared, he didn't hate Yang You for ruining the country in vain, but regret is useless, the most important thing is to recover the Yang family.

His health was deteriorating, and he might not be able to last long. He only hoped that he could see the Yang family reorganize the rivers and mountains before he closed his eyes.

"It's just that Yang Chixin surrendered, and he's crying right here. Liu Heng's throne is not yet hot!" A charming and proud female voice came, and the beauty in red palace attire came out from the secret passage behind the screen.

Her appearance was almost the same as Yang Sheng's, but her brows were a little more heroic, and her expression was arrogant and inviolable. With the long red dress, she looked like a manjusawa flower ignited from the fire.

"Sister." Yang Sheng choked up and shouted.

The woman in red is her twin sister Yang Zheng, who has a strong personality and is resolute in her actions, and was bestowed on Yang Yuchun by Liu Heng.

"Why are you here?" Yang Xuan frowned and asked.

"The general has also received news from the Southwest." Yang Zheng replied, she always has an unstoppable spirit, "The general wants to ask if my brother is interested in joining forces with him. If my brother and the ministers are determined to let your majesty To regain the throne, the general is willing to help."

This is exactly what makes everyone conflicted, and this is also Liu Heng's intention to save Yang You's life.

Yang You surrendered, sacrificed the country of Qi, and lost the hearts of the old officials. Even if he tried to restore the government, many people would not choose him anymore.

But the other princes are all concubines, as long as Yang You survives, they will be unjust heirs, or cousins ​​of the royal family, Yang Ting almost killed his own brother, only Xue Wang Yang Du survived.

If Yang Ting's princes were not selected, only Yang Xuan in the clan would be eligible to ascend to the throne, but Yang Xuan was in poor health and had no heirs. Although Yang You doted on him, he did not rectify his name.

So only Yang You can represent the Qi State, and keeping Yang You alive is a good move to deal with the old people of the Qi State.

Sometimes Yang Xuan hoped that Yang You would die, but most of the time, he hoped that Yang You would live well.

He is a good emperor. If he is given more time, Yang You will definitely be able to drag Qi State out of the quagmire and give them a brand new world.

Just like what he promised when he took the throne, just like what he promised when he reformed.

But there is no such word in the world.

"The general enjoys the glory and wealth in the new dynasty. How easy is it to live a life of knowledge of current affairs? Would he be so kind as to help a group of bereaved dogs?" Yang Xuan sneered.

"Do you need me to say more about the relationship between the general and your majesty?" Yang Zheng's mouth curled into a haunting smile, "Yang Chixin is just a bandit that your majesty recruited in the southwest, but the general is always following your majesty's retainer." You are willing to believe in Yang Chixin's desperate resistance, why don't you believe in the general?"

"If he was really loyal to His Majesty, how could he have let 30 men disarm and surrender when Lidu was trapped?" Yang Sheng cried. Why today?!"

Yang Zheng stopped talking for a while, and couldn't explain anything.

Yang Yuchun was willing to marry her because he meant to take care of the clan, treated her like a princess, never crossed the distance, and respected her everywhere.

Because of this, she believed in Yang Yuchun's sincerity, and agreed to Yang Yuchun to contact her old friend.

But Yang Yuchun never explained that when Liu Heng besieged the capital, it was at a critical moment for the survival of Qi. He had elite soldiers in his hands, but he surrendered without resistance, in exchange for an official position in the new dynasty.

What the emperor of the new dynasty could give to Yang Yuchun, Yang You gave it all back then, and even more. Many people speculated that the reason why Yang You didn't take concubines for many years was because of his affair with Yang Yuchun.

Could it be that there is some conflict in the relationship between the two?

But if the two broke up, why did Yang You let Yang Yuchun be stationed at the border with heavy troops?

Why is it?

This is probably the biggest question in the minds of Qi people.
