I closed my eyes, but instead of seeing darkness, I saw fire blazing into the sky. A tall city suddenly appeared in front of me, with red walls and green tiles, and it was magnificent. It was the most noble place in the world, located in the largest majestic city in the world. , that was the imperial city of the Liang Dynasty.

But at this moment, the imperial city was burning, with flames reaching into the sky and thick smoke billowing.

The entire imperial city is burning everywhere. If it is not controlled earlier, I am afraid that the entire imperial city will turn into a sea of ​​​​fire.

Countless people from the palace were running around, shouting that they were in trouble.

The noble palace was already burning. The young emperor was sitting in front of the palace, looking at the running palace officials and the panic on their faces. He didn't know what he was thinking. He just sat in front of the palace and let himself go. The flames shot into the sky behind him, but he remained unmoved.

The young emperor is not handsome, but he has an air of grace between his eyebrows. It is the aura of the royal family and an innate temperament. But if you look carefully, you can find that between his eyebrows, this young emperor has a certain temperament. The emperor of China is more or less similar to the Chen Dynasty.

Suddenly, an old eunuch came to him. His old voice was full of urgency and worry, "Your Majesty, the rebels have arrived outside the city and are about to enter the city. Taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, Your Majesty, Let’s go quickly.”

The old eunuch knelt in front of the young emperor, his face full of worry, "I have received great favor from the late prince, and I am willing to protect your majesty when he leaves the palace."

Hearing the words of the late prince, the young emperor frowned slightly, and then just shook his head.

The old eunuch looked sad and was about to speak again, but the young emperor asked instead, "Who do you think started this fire?"

The old eunuch was startled. He had already guessed that the cause of the fire was the young emperor himself, but now that he asked this question, it made him a little confused.

The young emperor smiled and said, "Of course I did it myself."

The old eunuch remained silent, but after taking a look at the thick smoke in front of him, he felt a little cold. The rebels had already arrived outside the city. They set off such a fire to cause chaos, and then killed a palace guard of similar stature to trap the God. Throwing the robe into the sea of ​​fire would naturally be useful, as it could fool the prince's eyes, but how could the majesty in front of him push the queen and the young prince into the sea of ​​fire? Is it just to make the feudal king believe it?

"Father-in-law, do you think I am a cruel person?"

young emperor

The emperor seemed to be laughing, but not smiling.

"Your Majesty has always been kind, how could he be like this?"

The old eunuch no longer knew what the young emperor in front of him was thinking.

"Huang Kao always loved his father back then, but unfortunately his father died before Huang Kao. Huang Kao was so sad that he passed over his uncles and passed the throne to me. But I have only been emperor for a few years? The inheritance of our ancestors has been lost like this. Emperor Kao The world that was given to me has just been lost, and I can survive with dignity. Although Emperor Gaozu said that the king will die in the country, it is not suitable for this moment, but no matter what, I have no shame to live anymore. My wife and children will go first. I will accompany you."

The young emperor's face was extremely calm, without any sign of indignation. He looked at the old eunuch and suddenly asked, "Eunuch, can you help me pass a message to my fourth uncle?"

The vassal king who is now raising an army is the fourth son of Emperor Lingzong, and is naturally his fourth uncle.

The old eunuch whispered, "Please give me your Majesty's orders."

The young emperor smiled, stood up slowly, and said, "Then please tell Fourth Uncle, he has taken my world today, how do you know that no one will take his world away in the future?"

…

…

The young emperor stood up and walked toward the sea of ​​fire. The old eunuch turned and left, taking the young emperor's final will with him.

The young emperor walked towards the sea of ​​​​fire step by step, his steps were slow. After walking some distance, he felt the heat coming from all over his body. He slowly turned his head and looked at the woman holding a child in the crowd on one side. After a moment of silence, he said, "Take him away."

"Does a bastard deserve to die for his crime?"

His words were very weak, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

The young emperor shook his head, stopped talking, and just walked silently towards the sea of ​​fire.

Soon, he stepped into the sea of ​​fire, and the emperor's robe began to burn with a different kind of fire.

The woman looked at this scene in a daze. After a long time, she looked down at the child in her arms, her eyes full of love.

There is also reluctance.

That

The child is Chen Chao.

At that time, he had no idea what the emotion in his mother's eyes meant, but now he understands it.

Ever since she married the former prince, his father, my mother had already regarded herself as a part of that mansion. Naturally, she also regarded the young emperor as her own son, but the young emperor also regarded her as her own son. Well, neither the former crown prince nor the current queen mother regarded her and the son in her arms as a family.

So now she will still regard herself as a family member to die, but she doesn't want her son to die as well.

Looking at his mother, Chen Chao suddenly wanted to cry. In the years to come, he actually did not remember these things until that day.

He was forced into the white mist, accidentally bumped into an unknown place, and saw the crystal clear coffin.

And the one in the coffin...

…

…

That is a scene that I have dreamed about all the time in the past few years.

At the end of the road paved with white jade, there was a crystal clear coffin. The coffin was engraved with obscure characters, and inside the coffin, there was a young girl lying.

In the dream, Chen Chao had his own consciousness and could make many choices, but no matter what he did, he could do anything. But once he tried to look into the girl's eyes, he would see an extremely bright and hot fireball.

And whenever this happens, he will definitely wake up.

The first and only time he really saw the fireball, Chen Chao felt as if someone had opened up somewhere in his body. He suddenly remembered everything he had experienced in his childhood, as if It was a secret hidden by someone. It seemed to be a letter, and he opened it.

He could recall the love in the eyes of the generous man he saw when he opened his eyes when he was young, and he could also recall the indifference and disgust in his eyes that his elder brother looked at him in those days.

He asked his mother to take him away, not out of kindness, but because he felt that, as a commoner, he was not qualified to do so.

The scene in Chen Chao's mind kept changing, and finally, he came to the coffin again.

Looking at the crystal clear coffin, Chen Chao fell silent.

After a long time, he leaned down and looked at the girl in the coffin.

The girl was looming in the coffin, and she couldn't see clearly at all.

Only when looking into her eyes.

Chen Chao's eyes kept moving upward, and then finally fell on the girl's face.

He still couldn't see the face clearly, but he didn't want to see it either.

What he wanted to see was those eyes.

Chen Chao looked down.

Appeared!

That extremely bright, blazing fireball.

Appeared.

…

…

Chen Chao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

Covered in sweat.

He stared blankly at the page that slipped from his heart.

He reached out to pick it up and put it away again.

Chen Chaocai lowered his head and looked at the broken knife in his hand.

It seemed like I had a long, long dream.

That wasn't a dream, it was just something that happened, I just remembered it.

After coming back to his senses, Chen Chao slowly stood up and looked around.

The army of bones was gone, and there were only bones and corpses all around. Many of the monks died.

Farther away, before the crack, the tall stone monument had collapsed and turned into ruins.

The living monks have left.

Chen Chao walked towards the distance, but he hadn't gone to where he wanted to go yet.

The secret he wants to know is not yet known.

——

The fire in the palace, the young emperor watching the armies of other countries entering the city before the sea of ​​​​fire, is the beginning of the first edition of Immortal Dynasty, but it is a pity that it was not shown in the end. It is made up for here. Of course, the two books have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The historical background I used the Battle of Jingnan by Zhu Di, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty. Obviously, everyone can see it at a glance. The general background is like this. Of course, it is impossible to always write according to the development in the history books. I have always felt that writing history into fantasy fairy tales Xia Li is a very good thing, although I am not the first author to do this.

Of course, there will be more tonight.
