In the ninth year of Taiyuan, the war raged in Afang Palace.
Murong Chong raised his sword and stood up. The mark with the word "Qin" on the sword was the mark that he personally stabbed into Fu Jian's shoulder eleven years ago——
He is the hostage of a subjugated country, the "Phoenix Emperor" ridiculed by the world, and the younger brother of Emperor Xiyan who vows to take back Murong Rongguang;
And Fu Jian was the King of Qin who destroyed his country, the monarch who transplanted Manyuan Wutong for him, and the person who held his life but never really forced him.
When we first met in the sycamore forest, passing sword scabbards to each other was the tacit understanding between young confidants;
Afang Palace is under house arrest, with fine clothes and fine food wrapped in the humiliation of national subjugation;
The sun is dormant, lying on the firewood and tasting the courage, hiding deep hatred;
When the army approaches the city, love and hate are intertwined and it is difficult to distinguish each other.
He hates him for destroying Yan and imprisoning his body, and hates him for hiding his true heart in power;
He misses the clarity of his youth, his stubbornness when he sheds tears, and his tenderness in the phrase "The Phoenix Emperor cannot live in anything other than a parasol tree."
The power of the court is framed, the national grievances are blocked, the conspiracy and calculation are woven into a dense web, and they are the strongest fire and the softest water in the web——
"Between you and me, there is only hatred between the country and the family."
"But Fenghuang, do you dare to say that you only have hatred in your heart?"
When weapons clash with each other, they encounter profound love, and when the righteousness of family and country confronts the entanglement of fate, this love-hate game spanning eleven years will finally be resolved where the leaves of the phoenix tree fall.
[Thinking]
I saw a short sentence in "Book of Jin·Ziji No. 14": "In the beginning, when Jian Zhi destroyed Yan, sister Chong was the princess of Qinghe. She was fourteen years old. She had a special look. Jian accepted her and she was the most favored. At twelve years old, she also had the appearance of Longyang. Jian was lucky. Sister and brother only favored her, and no one in the palace could enter."
It was later learned that in the eleventh year of Taiyuan, Murong Chong indulged in pleasure in Chang'an. General Han Yan of the Left followed the public opinion and killed Murong Chong at the age of 28.
In just a few sentences, this young man's twenty-eight-year ups and downs life was completed. It's hard not to dig out the footnotes in the book, and it's hard not to guess the story behind the words.
People with high ambitions have family and country in their hearts, and people with compassion have love and hate in their eyes.
Purpose: Taking the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms as the background, give people who failed to fall in love in history a new possibility in a parallel world. History books record their family and country, and what is written between the lines is their unspoken love.
