Since ancient times, loyal ministers who meet a bad end have been countless.
In the twelfth year of the Tianqi reign, the serving prime minister colludes with a vassal prince to rebel. His crimes are monstrous, and he is executed by slicing in two at the waist in the marketplace. The 271 members of the Wen family are reduced to charred remains. Their ancestral home is destroyed, and blood and flesh litter the ground.
The bitter winter has arrived. Wen Qing's corpse lies in the marketplace, while songs and dances fill the Golden Throne Hall, with wine and feasting in abundance. The Shenwu Emperor, once the most respectful of his teachers, holds a soft and delicate beauty in his arms. Yet he stares at the plain green cord around his wrist, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Anything in this world that he cannot have deserves to be destroyed completely.
"Sir, you failed to teach me properly. Don't blame me."
On the day of the execution, the iron cavalry of the southern frontier tramples across the land and surges north, smashing through the defenses of the Forbidden City in one fell swoop. They kill gods who stand in their way and Buddhas who stand in their way.
Three days later, the capital changes hands. The Prince of Cruelty gallops into the Eastern Market, crazed, and digs through the thick snow. He gathers the frozen, severed corpse in his arms, wailing in grief and howling without restraint.
Once the least favored of the Third Princes.
Now a battle-hardened general guarding the hot, humid, pestilent borderlands.
The Prince of Cruelty, whose name makes the capital's officials tremble.
The God of War, feared by the sixteen southern kingdoms.
And the vassal power Wen Qing had most wanted to eliminate throughout his twelve years in power.
Wen Qing can think of no connection with this prince beyond scheming and deceit.
He has forgotten that after the palace banquet twenty years ago, a child once took his hand, eyes red, and begged him to become his teacher.
He has forgotten.
Given another life, he will not forget.
He will take back everything he lost, and not a single person who deserves to die will be allowed to live.

A preview of my next novel, The Goat's Hooves and the Donkey's Ears
Midas, the beautiful and kind king of Phrygia, has long white hair like fresh snow and deep blue eyes like the sea. The golden crown of thorns on his head symbolizes supreme power and wealth.
After being badly hurt by the wine god's golden touch, Midas grows disgusted with all the wealth in the world. He decides to retreat to the mountains and forests and live a poor, busy, but free and lovely life.
Every day, Midas clumsily herds livestock, sows wheat, grafts olives, builds grape trellises, and even brings home a little goat to raise.
One of the goat's horns is broken, and it lies dying beside a stream. Kindhearted Midas cannot bear to watch it die. At the hunting goddess's instruction, he feeds it his own blood until it grows up.
Strangely, the orchard and wheat fields Midas tends into a chaotic mess flourish. The grapevines gradually gleam with a clear sheen, and a herd of goats appears from nowhere. Led by the little goat, they are docile and obedient, growing plumper by the day.
At harvest time, Midas rolls happily in the wheat field and runs with the flock along the mountaintops. Just as he lifts the little goat to shout with joy, he discovers that the gentle, adorable kid in his arms has vanished with a poof.
In its place is Pan, the handsome, cloven-hoofed god of shepherds.
In Midas's eyes, the shepherd god Pan is unlike any other deity.
He is mysterious and powerful. No one knows his origins or his past, yet all the forests, fields, and flocks are under his control.
He is gentle and taciturn, dwelling deep in the Arcadian forest for ages, carrying out his duties as a shepherd god in solitude and contentment.
All the gods say that Pan is evil and hideous, bringing terror and war to the world, a scourge upon the gods. Only Midas knows that when the shepherd god's heart stirs, every beast in the Arcadian forest rejoices and flowers bloom everywhere.
Zeus passes through Arcadia and notices Midas playing with the shepherd god in the mountains, wearing a crown of grapevines. He falls in love at first sight with this human, more beautiful than Aphrodite.
Just as he is about to repeat his old trick and turn into a golden bull to approach him, the shepherd god's cloven hoof kicks off his manhood.
Midas fears Zeus will punish Pan, so he is willing to give up his happy life and flee with Pan. But Pan merely licks the deep blue eyes of his trembling lover, whispering eerily like an echo in an empty valley:
"All gods were born beneath my hooves."
"Zeus is nothing but an insect."
Reading Guide:
1. Inspired by Greek mythology, with many original additions. No need to know Greek mythology, since the author has reworked it.
2. A gentle, beautiful little moon sweetheart on the receiving end x a wild, doting ruler of the gods
3. The little goat is the god's form when his divine power is insufficient.
Theme: Persevere and you can find a way forward even in desperate straits.
The plot is okay, but the mission creation is a bit immature. How can I put it, I have read many, many articles, and I feel that the author's plot ideas are very good. The sourness between the two of them is also well done in the middle. The deputy CP also made me feel sad, but the plot is still a little incomplete. For example, what happened to the dungeon in the end? What happened to the two courtiers and CPs who appeared earlier? There's a bit of a sense of lack. But cheers for the author! ! ! ! I really like it! ! !
… I'm really convinced. Isn't Su Jitang disgusting? I really like that he doesn't stop Su Zhuoyu when he serves others? Are you pretending to be affectionate now?
Www. Give the kidney back to Azhao
There's no need to do it for your own good. I don't want much, and I can't even give you this.
It's too bitter, sweetness is instant, glass slag mixed with powdered sugar
Ah Zhao is so cute, how can he be so miserable?
And Wen Qing, he was brilliant and had the world in his heart. He shouldn't have had his hands stained with blood and had to bear so many burdens.
The writing is pretty good, but it feels depressing. I don't know why.
So angry! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! So angry! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! How could this be? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Ah! ! ! ! How annoying! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Dear, I live in betrayal all day long! Even in the name of love, deliberately concealing it is betrayal! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Hai Qing He Yan, it is really ironic. In two lives, he devoted himself to the world and died. In two lives, he planned for others. A good bird chooses a tree to roost. In both lives, he chose the wrong one and believed in the wrong one. My heart hurts! In the previous life, I suffered from physical pain and trust, at least not yet surrendered my feelings. In this life, my feelings were also hit and my trust was betrayed. Although the person who does not know is not guilty, but after suffering the painful experience of something, using ignorance to use painful things to achieve the goal, thereby causing pain to the person who is forced to bear it, how can he be innocent? ! My aunt knew the pain she suffered in her previous life, and trust had become painful, yet she still deceived, concealed, and betrayed trust in the name of love! Ooooooooooooooooooooooo! ! ! ! ! ! Qingqing is so miserable! Woooooooooo! Dear, if you leave all this behind and live in seclusion, wouldn't you have to bear all this? They talk about best friends, they talk about close friends, but when they go to bed with a nominally biological brother, they are completely biased towards the other person, forgetting the help of their close friends, and stabbing their close friends with the words "master-disciple relationship". If the first time is not enough, he will do it a second time! Qingqing, you plan for the world and others, but you never think about yourself! Beat your chest and stamp your feet! Can you trust others again after being betrayed again? In the last life, everyone who had close contact with you was killed one by one by the mad dog prince. In this life, you pulled them and protected them, but they were not satisfied and betrayed you. What else is there to miss in this world! Even the two closest and most trusted people can betray trust, and people who are said to be close friends can leave without mercy. This world is not worth it! My head hurts from crying. How many ups and downs have you experienced along the way? ! None of them deserve it! In the end, you were betrayed and concealed by others. You are not a lone star of evil, they are unworthy of your trust! In the beginning, except for relatives, they all approached you with a purpose. Now, even your aunt has used your good name to force you to go through an unknown and painful thing. You, who has obviously been in the capital and has never left, knew it was a rare unknown thing that was only circulated in the border area. The more I think about it, the more I want to cry. I have lost my mother's family since I was a child, and my father's family has been beaten and scolded at will. I have been pushed into the water, lost my legs, and contracted serious diseases. However, I have studied hard since I was a child, broke away from the prison, and made plans for the world. Such a glorious and bright gentleman is suffering from pain. Although it is said that he has a great responsibility from heaven, it is too miserable! Other people who are suffering at least have good health and protection, but Qingqing is in poor health and has no protection! Headache, heartache! Well…
To refute the relationship between master and apprentice is really hurtful and chilling.
