Chapter 258: The Past of Dahua
Updated: 2012-09-07
Chu Huan was really shocked at this time. He didn't expect that the owner of this gloomy ghost village would actually hide such a prominent identity.
Yingren clenched his fists and sneered, "You are talking nonsense. Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Let you fool me?" He ordered Chu Huan, "Chu Huan, this person dares to make such a ruthless remark, so he killed him with one knife."
Yuan Yu said seriously: "Because you are not a three-year-old child, this secret can be told you, otherwise this secret should have been known more than ten years ago. Your mother did not tell you, just because she wanted to protect you, and I will tell you today, just to let you not forget your roots, and not forget that there is still the noble blood of the Dahua Dynasty royal family flowing on you."
Yingren saw Yuan Yu's face was solemn, it didn't seem like a lie.
"Thirty-eight years ago, the fifth prefect conquered the capital, and the traitor Qu Chuli led the rebels to attack the capital. From then on, the world was in chaos. The four surnames of Dahua were slaughtered, and reinforcements were not arrived, and the princes rose up." Yuan Yu looked solemn, with hatred in his eyes: "Hundreds of years ago, the four surnames of Guanzhong Guzhou swore to join forces. These four surnames united together to destroy the Sun Wu Kingdom and establish Dahua. The four surnames were named national surnames. However, after the fifth prefect conquered the capital, the four surnames were almost killed... Your mother and I were in chaos, and we broke through the siege by a personal guardian team, and we wandered around the world from then on... At that time, your mother was only six years old, and I was only ten years old...!"
Chu Huan listened quietly, but Yingren was shaking slightly.
"There were five hundred people in the personal guards, but after breaking through the siege, there were only less than two hundred people left." Yuan Yu sighed lightly: "They are young and brave. They are the most loyal guardians of the Great China Dynasty...!"
When Chu Huan heard this, he suddenly thought of the mourning hall, but he didn't know if the mourning hall was the group of loyal guards that year.
But I can't figure out why all these people died.
Yingren calmed down his shocked mood and finally asked, "What about it later?"
Yuan Yu smiled faintly and said, "Qu Chuli controlled the capital, burned and killed and looted. Before my mother left, someone in the palace deliberately found a substitute for us, burned to death in the palace, and destroyed his body, making the rebels mistakenly think that no one in the Dahua royal family escaped. Now I don't know if Qu Chuli believed it at the beginning, but he still ordered his subordinates to search for the remains of the royal family, hoping to kill them all." His thoughts returned to the bloody and storm of the princes decades ago: "Qu Chuli occupied the capital, and the prefects from all over the country raised troops, and under the guise of eliminating traitors and restoring China, they proclaimed themselves as kings. Disputes in the world are everywhere. You should all remember that history."
The Qin Dynasty was established for only sixteen years. Chu Huan naturally knew that period of history, and Yingren naturally would not forget it.
"Then... how could the queen be with her father?" Yingren looked suspicious.
Yuan Yu said lightly: "Because among the princes in the world, your father is the most sincere way, and his banner of reviving Dahua was the most resounding. At that time, even your mother and I thought he really wanted to support my Dahua."
Yingren said angrily: "Don't insult my father."
Yuan Yu suddenly started coughing again. This time his cough was even more intense, as if he wanted to cough out his internal organs. He wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "At that time, there was no peaceful place in the world, and wars were everywhere. If you want to find a peaceful place to settle down, you can't."
Chu Huan could imagine that the world would be tragic at that time, and the world would compete for power, and the entire land of China would be shrouded in blood and fire.
"Under the protection of your guards, my mother and I were drifting in the chaotic world for nearly ten years, from one place to another, suffering from the pain of war." Yuan Yu recalled: "Later we finally realized that if we continued to drift like this, we would not only have hope of restoring the country, but also sooner or later there would be danger of life. At that time, your father had already gained the lead in the battle for hegemony of the princes, and most of the areas of Guanzhong had fallen into his hands...!"
Yingren said: "If it weren't for him, the world would be rare."
Yuan Yu smiled indifferently, without refuting, but continued, "I was only twenty years old at that time. After thinking about it, I was confused by the banner of your father. I wanted to use your father's strength to revive my Dahua Dynasty. But my subordinates persuaded me that even if I wanted to surrender to Qin, I could not show my true identity. I could only pretend to be a guard in the guard and conceal my identity, because no one knew what your father was thinking. If I showed my true identity, it would be very likely that your father would be exploited by your father...!"
Yingren sneered: "You are talking nonsense, how could I believe these slanderous words?" He said this, but the expression on his face was obviously not completely unbelievable.
Chu Huan finally said: "So you just let the queen appear in front of the emperor as the remains of the Dahua royal family, and you pretended to be a guardian. From then on, your identity has been hidden until today?"
Yuan Yu nodded slightly, "Your mother took us to the King of Qin, and your father was very happy to see us join us, respect your mother very much, and claimed that he would definitely help your mother revive the Great Hua Dynasty. At that time, we all thought your father was a loyal minister and had great expectations for him. And these two hundred of us still stayed by your mother as a guard, which made your mother full of favor for him."
Speaking of this, Yuan Yu began to remain silent, as if he was recalling that time.
"The cavalry of Qin State was extremely powerful. He captured Guanzhong, swept Guanxi, and then sent troops to two groups, one to the Guandong region, and the other was to the hinterland of the Central Plains. The capital of our Dahua Dynasty was once advanced. Qu Chuli had already called himself the Emperor of the Great Qi at that time. The biggest enemy of Qin State was the pseudo-Qi, and the biggest enemy of our Dahua Dynasty was also Qu Chuli." Yuan Yu continued: "When we advanced south, we had followed your father for seven years. At that time, I was twenty-seven years old, and your mother was twenty-three years old. We all thought that restoration of the country was just around the corner. Until that day, Yingyuan sent someone to say goodbye to your mother, and we knew that he was ambitious."
When Yingren heard Yuan Yu call the emperor's name, he frowned, but he still didn't say anything.
"Your mother discussed this with me in private. At that time, I had already seen your father's wolf ambitions. I wanted to refuse, but at that time your mother...!" At this point, he shook his head and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Your mother had already fallen in love with the man who was twenty years older than her at that time."
Chu Huan thought something.
When Yingyuan was in his twenties, he was a young general. He was invincible in his battles and struggles, so he naturally had an unparalleled personal charm. His heroic spirit was difficult to fade away quickly because of the passage of time.
Princess Qingping followed Yingyuan for 78 years and was protected and cared for by Yingyuan. Although there was a huge gap in age, it was not uncomprehensible that Princess Qingping developed a good impression of Yingyuan.
"I can't refuse both public and private." Yuan Yu sighed: "For private, your mother is in love with him. For public, if you want to eliminate Qu Chuli, the biggest enemy of Dahua, you still need the power of Yingyuan. But your mother did not forget the national humiliation. Although she agreed to the marriage, she also agreed that unless the Qin army captured the capital and killed Qu Chuli, she would not marry your father. Your father was powerful at that time, and the pseudo-Qi State where Qu Chuli was pacified was just around the corner, but she agreed and did not force her."
Yingyuan took a deep breath. The secrets that Yuan Yu said today were really sensational. He could not have imagined that there was such a secret behind his life experience.
His mind was a little confused. He didn't believe that these were true, but deep down he felt that what Yuan Yu said was not a lie.
"Then... Then, since that's the case, why did you stay in Zhongyi Village?" Yingyuan was silent for a long time and finally asked, "How do you explain those spiritual cards?"
"The Qin army advanced eastward, Yingyuan didn't want your mother to follow, but just wanted her to stay behind." Yuan Yu sighed: "But both your mother and I want to see the destruction of the pseudo-Qi, and I hope to see the moment when Qu Chuli was killed... So your mother must follow the army southward, and I and the group of Zhongyi Guards who protect your mother also protected your mother southward. Although they are not on the front line, they can know the situation of the battle ahead at any time."
"Twenty years ago, the Qin army captured Wuling Kingdom, and the next step was to capture Hanyang Kingdom, and Hanyang Kingdom was the last barrier of the pseudo-Qi Kingdom. Once Hanyang Kingdom was defeated, it could march straight into the pseudo-Qi Kingdom."
"After a bloody battle, the Qin army broke through the defense line of the Hanyang army, advanced all the way, and killed the capital of the Hanyang Kingdom. Your mother followed the army and came here and was temporarily settled in this Zhongyi Village." Yuan Yu said calmly: "At that time, this farm was not called Zhongyi Village, but Zhongxiao Villa. It was a villa built by the Zhongxiao Mausoleum of Hanyang Kingdom. When the Qin army attacked, the Zhongxiao Mausoleum escaped early, leaving behind an empty villa. Your mother lived here temporarily. In addition to your mother, there was another person living here at that time."
"Who is it?" Yingrenda was curious.
"The current crown prince of the Great Qin." Yuan Yu stared at Yingren: "Yingyuan's second son, Xu Xiang!"
"Is it... it's the prince's brother?" Yingren said in surprise.
Yuan Yu nodded and said, "At that time, Wei Xiang was only fifteen years old, and was a half-aged child, but he had already followed Yingyuan to fight on the battlefield." After a pause, he pondered for a moment before continuing, "Huangxiang was supposed to be injured, so he was sent to Zhongxiao Villa to recuperate, and was taken care of by your mother. But no one expected that something happened in this Zhongxiao Villa that made me regret my whole life. If I had known that such a thing would have happened, I would have persuaded your mother to stay behind and not come with the army!"
