Fragrance Returned

Half a month later, some ministers intervened and secretly communicated with the Korean Prime Minister to the Li Dynasty, and even produced personal and material evidence, but the Korean Prime Minister could not argue.

Thousands of members of the five Han families were killed, not even a single baby was left behind.

In fact, two people from the Han family survived.

One of the survivors was Han Shitao, the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Han. He was studying abroad and fled Chujie immediately after receiving a letter from Prime Minister Han.

The other one is Han Mei.

Prime Minister Han knew that Emperor Chu was suspicious and ruthless by nature. Even if he kills Han Mei ruthlessly, Emperor Chu is still afraid that there will be another descendant of the Han family with a strange scent, and he will definitely wipe out the entire Han family.

Since the old monk said that "Han Xiang" would destroy Chu, he quietly sent Han Mei away. If Emperor Chu dares to destroy the Han family, there will be people who will avenge the Han family.

Han Mei fled to a temple in the Liang Dynasty, where Master Xuantong happened to be the abbot.

Han Mei was filled with grief and anger and scolded Xuantong, "A compassionate eminent monk has killed thousands of members of my Han family."

Master Xuantong put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Lao Na's words also have the meaning of 'pushing the clouds to see the sun'. If the Emperor of Chu took the initiative to meditate on the Prince of Chu, and then appointed the female benefactor as his queen, relying on the female benefactor's 'ability' and destiny, It will surely stabilize the country of Chu.

"Da Chu and Da Li share the world equally, and peace in the world is also a blessing for the people. But Emperor Chu couldn't let it go, and chose to be incompatible with 'Hanxiang'. Da Chu eventually lost his hands... God's will is like this, and the female donor cannot blame Lao Na .”

Han Mei had no choice but to settle down in a nunnery not far from here in the name of a layman.

Half a year later, by chance, I met Gao Guang, the Emperor of Li in disguise, who went to the temple to offer incense.

Gao Guang was already fifty-three years old at that time, and he immediately fell in love with this beautiful and fragrant girl.

He revealed his true identity and favored Han Mei that night.

Han Mei also revealed her true identity and took out the defense map of the Chu Dynasty, hoping that Emperor Li would avenge the lives of thousands of her family.

There is another condition, Han Mei must go to the expedition in person.

Gao Guang was preparing to attack the Chu Dynasty, and was overjoyed when he received another "hint" from Master Xuantong.

Gao Guang was immediately the emperor and personally led Han Mei to annihilate the Chu Dynasty within half a year. Han Mei captured Emperor Chu alive in a cellar, killed him with her own hands to avenge the Han family, and also killed all the royal blood of Emperor Chu's dynasty.

Gao Guang appreciates and dotes on Han Mei even more.

Gao Guang's first wife died before he became emperor, and the position in the middle palace remained vacant. Gao Guang made Han Mei his queen.

Empress Han also sent people to find her nephew Han Shitao.

Because there was only one root left in the Han family, Emperor Gaozu was grateful for Empress Han's achievements and sighed that so many people in the Han family had died. He named Han Shitao, who had just turned thirteen, the title of Feng'enhou for the fifth generation.

Han Mei was still unable to get out of the shadow of "Han Xiang", and she did not want the descendants of the Han family to be given the special meaning of "Han Xiang" because of the strange fragrance, so she asked the emperor to give the Han family a new surname.

Her argument was that the Han family had abandoned the secrets and turned to the bright side, and was unwilling to use the Chu Dynasty surname anymore.

The emperor was even more cheerful. Because his mother's surname was "Dong", he was given the surname "Dong" to the Han family.

From then on, the Han family became the Dong family. Han Mei is Dong Mei, and Han Shitao is Dong Shitao.

Empress Dong asked people to perform rituals and re-erect the tombs of the more than a thousand dead souls.

Emperor Gaozu died three years later, and the 19-year-old Empress Dong followed him with a piece of white silk.

To be more precise, Empress Dong felt guilty that more than a thousand lives had been lost because of her and could not extricate herself. She didn't dare to die for Dong Shitao before, but it was only after the death of Emperor Gaozu that she had a good excuse.

The queen's "sacrificial burial" was the first example in this history.

The new emperor was grateful for his deep love for the empress and posthumously named empress Dong the virtuous empress. He bestowed countless treasures on the Dong family, and also gave him the title of Feng Enhou.

Of course, he was not only grateful for the deep love between the emperor and the empress, but he was also unwilling to face the empress dowager who was more than ten years younger than him.

Empress Dong's move touched his heart.

In the following decades, the Dong family received great favor from the emperor.

Dong Shitao's official rank was at least Fu, and his eldest son Dong Yingli, Dong Ruyue's father, was the Minister of Household Affairs.

More than thirty years ago, Dong Ruyue's third brother Dong Qiliang went on a study tour and agreed to come back in three months. But it wasn't until he returned home half a year later that he found a tattoo on the left side of his chest, which was a wolf's head with a nose ring.

Dong Qiliang said that when he traveled to Guangnan, he suddenly fainted in an inn. When he woke up, he had this tattoo on his chest, and the three servants who followed him were missing.

What also devastated him was that he actually slept for four months.

He was frightened and hurried back to the capital.

Dong Yingli was shocked when he saw the tattoo. This kind of wolf head is the royal totem of the Yuan Dynasty. Royal males must have it tattooed on their left chest when they are five years old.

I don’t know what method the man used. The wolf head does not appear to be a new tattoo, but an old mark that has been tattooed for more than ten years.

Dong Qiliang was eighteen years old that year.

Judging from this wolf head, the person behind it must be trying to frame the Dong family for reviving Dayuan. But I don’t know who took action, why, and what other methods were behind it.

Dong Yingli burned the totem on Dong Qiliang's chest with a red-hot iron that night. Dong Qiliang cried out for his father and mother in pain.

After the ironing, they were also worried, thinking that the enemy must have some back-up plans.

Dong Yingli summoned his eldest son and second son to discuss the matter.

Over the years, the Dong family has had some political enemies, but not enough for them to be so ruthless as to frame them.

The people who hate the Dong family the most should be the royal family and former officials of the Chu Dynasty. Dong Qiliang happened in Guangnan. Guangdong and Guangnan were the boundaries of Dachu a hundred years ago. Then, this matter is probably related to the descendants of the old ministers of Da Chu.

When Da Chu fell, Da Li had just established its dynasty, and was in dire need of talents. Da Li not only reused Dong Shitao, but also reused the Su family, Pang family, and Wu family, the old ministers of Da Chu.

Decades have passed, the Pang family and the Wu family have been marginalized, while only the Dong family and the Su family still show great favor.

Dong Ying was an official and became a minister, the head of the Su family was the censor of Youdu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his daughter was still a noble concubine of the dynasty.

Although Concubine Su had no biological son, Empress Yuan died young, so she became the master of the harem and won the favor and trust of the late emperor.

It seems unlikely for the Su family. However, sometimes the impossible is the most possible, and there may be other forces they don't know about.

Dong Yingli recalled the prophecy his father told him: when the cold fragrance comes, the Chu clouds disperse.

This prophecy was not good for the Dong family and the great Chu people at that time. There was no word about it, and his father only told him quietly.

They analyzed two possibilities.

One is that people who were loyal to the Chu Dynasty hated the Dong family's daughter for destroying the Chu Dynasty and took revenge on the Dong family.

One is that some people want to revive Dachu, but they are afraid that another descendant of the Dong family will destroy Dachu and wipe out the roots.

But he still couldn't figure out who the secret hand was.

The only remaining member of the Dong family is Dong Shitao, who gave birth to two sons, Dong Yingli and Dong Yingrang.

Dong Yingli has three sons and three daughters. Two of his daughters are already married, and only the third daughter, Dong Ruyue, is waiting to be married.

The two sons married wives, and the eldest son had two sons. The eldest was Dong Yihe. The second son's wife is just a few months pregnant. The third son is not married yet.

Dong Yingrang died young, and his only daughter, Dong Rujia, was married.
