Chapter 191 Ten Kingdoms Period

Yan Hanyu didn't understand what his grandfather said, but his grandfather did not mean to continue to explain, but talked about what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday, when the emperor was about to enter the city, I heard that you met the assassin when you went to the street market," Mr. Yan said.

"At that time, the emperor's car had passed by. We didn't see the assassin, but we were just guarding the imperial guards. At that time, there were people watching. The scene was a bit chaotic. The sound of swords and swords on the imperial road were so scared that they all scattered out. Shizuka and Rongxuan were young and had never encountered such a scene. They were confused. Jinxuan and Wenxuan were young and were both frightened. Han'er was fine. I heard that they slept peacefully at night, but were not frightened." These were all what Yan Hanyu heard from Madam Hong.

"I walked around the street of Shangnanqiao at that time, but I didn't see the scene at that time. When I returned to the city gate, the storm had already been calmed down on Yu Street." Speaking of the reason for Shangnanqiao, Yan Hanyu explained, "When I went to Suzhou that year, there was a medical clinic on the street of Shangnanqiao called Xinglin Medical Center. Dr. Mu, the doctor of the clinic, and his daughter went to Suzhou with me. She lived in Suzhou for more than a year and was considered an old acquaintance. But when I came back, I heard that something happened in Xinglin Medical Center, I always wanted to take a look. They loved to watch the fun, so I wanted to take advantage of this time to see Xinglin Medical Center. But I knew that so many things happened on Yu Street at that time."

She still had many doubts about the assassination of the emperor and asked, "If it is today, there is a great peace and prosperity, I don't know who wants to assassinate the emperor?"

Mr. Yan touched his beard and actually talked about the events during the war in the Ten Kingdoms that year.

The ten countries were war-torn in the past ten countries, including Jin, Shu, Chu, Northern Han, Dazhou, Southern Tang, Southern Han, Wuyue, Nanping and Min. The monarchs of various countries wanted to compete for hegemony of the Central Plains. Jin was replaced by Northern Han one after another, Shu was forced to retreat by Great Zhou, and Chu then divided Shu with Great Zhou. King Nanping was defeated by Southern Tang and surrendered to Southern Tang.

At that time, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in Bianliang. The monarch Chai Yu was smart and brave. After ascending the throne, he began to visit the battlefield in person, defeating the Northern Han, seizing Taiyuan, and attacking the Southern Tang, causing the Southern Tang to retreat step by step. He had to seize the area north of the Yangtze River and give it to the Great Zhou. Later, he attacked the Khitan, intending to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

But shortly after that, Chai Yu died of serious illness. His youngest son Chai Yongquan ascended the throne.

Chai Yongquan was young and was only seven years old when he succeeded to the throne. Empress Dowager Fu was in charge of the government, but he had no ability to govern. The court was in turmoil and politically unstable.

This led to the subsequent mutiny, which led to Chai Yongquan's abdication.

The Great Zhou Dynasty changed its ruler, changed its dynasty, and changed its country name, and was called "Song".

Historical books also recorded wars in the Ten Kingdoms. In the last life, Yan Hanyu rarely reads historical books, but she made up for them all in this life. Before and after the founding of the Song Dynasty, all historical books were recorded.

In the seventh year of Xiande in the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I suddenly heard that the Khitan and the Northern Han invaded a large-scale invasion and caused chaos on the border. Zhao Yuan, who was the governor of the Guide Army at the time, was ordered to go to fight against the enemy. On the night of the third day of the first lunar month, the army mutiny occurred in Chenqiao Post, 20 miles outside Bianliang City. The soldiers supported Zhao Yuanlang as emperor the next morning.

Zhao Yuanlang, who held national forces, led his army back to the army, and controlled the capital without bloodshed, forcing Chai Yongquan to abdicate, easily seized the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and turned Emperor Chai Yongquan into the King of Zheng.

Since Zhao Yuanlang was appointed as the governor of the Guide Army in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the vassal state where Zhao Yuanlang was located in Songzhou, he used Song as the country's name, established the capital of Kaifeng, and established the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Although there are only a few short sentences in history books, they can seize the throne without bloodshed, which shows the intelligence and ambition of the late emperor. In that era of war, changing dynasties seemed to be the most common thing.

The ancestor of the Zhao family was brave and held military power. The late emperor was extremely intelligent and ambitious, and it was easy to win the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since the late emperor ascended the throne, he has been pursuing military discipline and strict military laws. Even if the dynasty changes, he is not allowed to burn, kill, loot. When persuaded officials of the Zhou Dynasty, he did not force himself to kill, beat him, and treated Emperor Zhou and Empress Dowager Fu well. He was supported by a large number of officials. Most of the generals who held heavy troops outside to carry out patrols on the border expressed their support.

Such a method of turning hands into clouds and turning hands into rain will inevitably make the throne fall on Zhao's family.

When the late emperor was in power, he lived up to expectations, pacified the south and attacked the north, and the small country brought land to the Song Dynasty.

The king of Southern Tang was captured, Wu Yue surrendered, and Fujian was destroyed immediately.

Govern the country and pacify the world.

In less than fifty years, the prosperous scenery of Bianjing City has long forgotten the era when wars were rising. They have been renovated everywhere, and commerce is open to the road to prosperity.

Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, Jinling in the ancient charm, and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River are prosperous everywhere.

"Grandfather, I don't know that the Chu State should have a strong national strength at that time, so how could he be willing to surrender to our dynasty?"

"The empress of Chu surrendered was selfish, but this was also a problem left by the late emperor. The assassin who assassinated the emperor now was the organization left by Chu at that time."

Yan Hanyu was even more surprised. Is the empress of Chu surrender because of her selfish intentions? Could it be that the late emperor was willing to surrender? There are probably many hidden stories in this.

She thought of Zhao Xian who was hiding yesterday. Could it be that Zhao Xian has anything to do with Chu State?

"Grandfather..." Yan Hanyu asked two steps later, "There was no other accident yesterday, right?"

The assassin was an organization left by Chu State, and did not Prince Xian send someone to assassinate the emperor?

"Yesterday's accident?" Master Yan stroked his beard, "The assassins were arrested yesterday, but they all committed suicide by taking poison without asking. The emperor was not injured, but the prince Xian was injured behind him and was hit by an old disease. He heard that he was still unconscious and did not know his life or death."

Yan Hanyu was shocked, Zhao Xian’s old disease relapsed? Could it be that the cold poison was released again?

I met him twice when I came back from Suzhou, but she didn't have time to ask him about the cold poison. She was worried all the way, but in the end she relapsed?

When she returned to Yushengju, she heard that Yan Jingxiang was still practicing calligraphy. Yan Hanyu even took a look and praised her for being serious.

Originally, he was thinking about sitting in the mansion and waiting for news, but when Zhao Xian's old illness relapsed, Yan Hanyu couldn't sit still, so he could only tell Shizuka to go out for a walk and come back soon.

Shizuka rarely didn't keep up with her and was practicing calligraphy seriously in the study.

Yan Hanyu walked around the garden twice, then simply called Xiaoyaer to go back to the room together, asked her to bring a set of men's clothing, put on, tied her hair, and looked like a beautiful and delicate young boy appeared in front of the bronze mirror.

Xiaoyaer also changed into men's clothes, and she took Xiaoyaer out with her.

The Xian County Prince’s Mansion is not too far from the Taifu Mansion, but it only takes a small road, and it takes only one cup of tea to pass by a carriage.
