In the first year of Fenghuang, Xiao Jie, Crown Prince of Great Liang, is born, but the identity of his mother is shrouded in mystery.
The official records say that his father, Qin Zhuo, a southern warlord, and his dad, Xiao Heng, had only one long-term partnership, and it ended in a falling-out.
Only later does he learn that his dad had always wanted to make their relationship official, while his father had always wanted to fly solo. When they finally got married, it was because of an unplanned pregnancy.
Crown Prince: I really was the glue holding their marriage together. I almost expired before they got around to it.
Xiao Heng's shadow, holding a lantern, falls across the window. His longing settles in the pupils of the God of Light. The person he longs for will never know.
The Crown Prince calls out, "Father."
The shadow neither moves nor speaks.
He struggles to his feet, holds the scarlet bow in both hands, and calls again, "Dad."
His voice trembling, he asks, "Do you still think of him?"
"When you look at me, at least today, do you still think of him?"
His whole body shaking, he calls out, "Your Majesty."
Long afterward, he hears the shadow call him A Jie. That name comes from the golden age of their love and their rule.
Xiao Heng says, "Your father and I performed the rites of heaven and earth."
"It wasn't a casual affair, and it wasn't a political marriage."

My new novel is out: The Trial at Dawn
The full novel is complete, so you can read with confidence.
The interstellar war is over, and the Era of Dawn begins.
Wen Baibi, the only omega leader in the United Government of the civilized star systems and a great commander, runs for president.
At the same time, the Interstellar Court convenes to try war criminals. The event goes down in history as the Trial at Dawn.
The most notorious S-rank war criminal is Fu Youxia, a United Government major general and the suspected partner of the great commander, who was reported killed in action seven years ago.

Wen Baibi declares that he will not divorce.
Fu claims that his common-law marriage with the great commander was forced.
Theme: Stay positive, work hard, and build a beautiful new Great Liang
I reviewed the timeline after taking the throne again, and saw from the perspective of the characters in the book that it was a process of trial and error by a group of ambitious young people. It was already very sad, but looking at what they did from God's perspective would only make it even more uncomfortable. As a modern person with a normal education, there are too many problems when looking at the ideals and practices based on the current knowledge base, and they must put in much more effort than they think. Abolition of the imperial system, these four words represent the transition from a feudal monarchy to a democratic and republican society. Such a long span is like turning the Manchu Qing Dynasty directly into a republic. There are other advanced countries in the Qing Dynasty for reference, but the world view in this article is not as good as the Tang Dynasty. There are too many conditions that are lacking. If the method of rushing for success is wrong, even if there are fruits of victory, there will be a lot of hidden dangers, leading to the collapse of the utopia. Throughout ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, the completion of system transformation is either gentle but long, or fast but painful. It cannot be a gentle transition in just a few dozen years or decades. The general direction has not yet been decided. Is it going to be a frog boiled in warm water or a thunderous iron fist? The protagonist group doesn't want to hurt innocent people, and they also want to see the effect before they close their eyes, so starting from the new method will definitely not work. The aristocratic family is not a stone that stays in place. It is a fantasy to only rely on the law to restrict them. They are born with privileges. Every era tells us that rights can override the law. According to the situation in ancient China, the feasible method is: first, take advantage of the good opportunity of just ascending the throne to cleanse the aristocratic family immediately. Only by taking away the privileges that the aristocratic family relies on for survival can it be possible to restrain them by law. China's five thousand years of history has clearly told future generations: the only way to deal with powerful families is through force. Insufficient resistance will only make the wolves more ferocious. For a family with an iron-clad emperor, a small fight will not hurt the bones. The results of reforming the aristocratic family have been bloodyly written in the history books. The new law is very important and should be used to govern the world and enlighten wisdom. It cannot be used to deal with the privileged class. It is not strong enough. After eliminating the aristocratic family, we should first develop a complete education system. It is not only as simple as opening up people to read and become illiterate, but more importantly, slowly importing some new ideas and trends into the era that was deeply brainwashed by the feudal imperial power. In that era, only reading without changing one's thoughts would only produce staunch supporters of the monarchy like the Xia family. The purpose of reading is ideological reform. Only by enlightening the people's wisdom can we talk about democracy. How can the people be independent if they are not wise? At the same time, he seeks out like-minded comrades to enrich his court. Working together as a team is always better than fighting alone. Don't be like Zhao. Once Li Han left, no one in the civil service recognized his ideas, and he was left alone in the officialdom. Wait for education to adapt before issuing new laws, work together with ideological reform, guide public opinion, further stimulate public opinion and people's wisdom, and at the same time make public what the aristocratic families do, and use this as an excuse to slowly disperse the imperial power and privileged classes. After the new law is stabilized, the most important thing is to change the bureaucracy. Advanced ideas and laws must be matched with an advanced official system to disperse the rights of a certain position into an equal group, evolving towards a constitutional monarchy or a democratic republic. But a very important point is that according to history, it is generally the substantial development of existing productivity and economy that can drive the progress of ideas and systems. This article does not touch on this topic, so I will not talk about it for now. After the general steps are determined, start step by step. The harem, the former dynasty, the Central Plains, the princes, from small to large, just like the countryside surrounding the city, work steadily, eliminate the factors that will affect the overall situation, and do not expose your unique ideas prematurely, because you are fighting against the ideas of an era and everyone. In addition, internal control and external security must be carried out separately. The bottom line is to make sure that one will not cause problems before doing all it can to deal with the other. When we have reached the stage of internal and external troubles, we really need to reflect seriously. At the same time, in these processes, as the leader, you should use force to control the absolute right to speak and deterrence, so as to ensure the implementation of the plan, and do not use your own kindness to test the viciousness of others. Standing on the shoulders of giants, we can easily understand these things, but those passionate young people are limited by the times and can only keep groping and testing. They give up their own strength, ideas and public opinion, and only use political means to fight, which is equivalent to attacking the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings, without seeing any good results. It seems to have seen those who tried to strengthen the country through reform, with hope but no light, and finally became a thick or thin brush in the history books.
I can be so happy teaching letter writing. After reading this chapter, I kept imagining what would happen if they were not separated. A Zhuo loves to laugh and be lively, and Lao Xiao likes to see him laughing and joking. In this way, the two places have been separated for more than ten years, and ordinary life is a luxury😭
At this time, Sister Duan is already married and she can divorce Lao Xiao again. A Zhuo really loves 🐶
So sweet! If it were a modern setting, they could walk hand in hand after dinner every day, they could travel together to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, they could stay at home on weekends watching movies and playing games, they could always be together 😭
Oh my god, I really want to cry, my lighting is 😭 😭
Goddess, please give me a few more extra stories. Can you please give me an if line about Jiao Jiao's birth 🙏 🙏 🙏
I watched it with tears in my eyes. If, if they had met earlier, would this be the future A Zhuo should have had?
This time I got a serious cold 🐶
A Zhuo is really a male mother in every aspect. She has been taking care of herself since she was a child, hahaha
Azhuo, why have you wanted to have children since you were a child [Sunglasses]
