The Guan Nei Road of Dashang Kingdom is adjacent to Longting and Hedong, with Daxia in the north, Shannan in the south, Hedong in the east, and Longting in the west. The Wolong River, which is nine-curved and eighteen-turn, flows through the entire Guannei Road. There are both the Loess Plateau and fertile fields, and rich resources. The people and Yin kings are rich, with strong soldiers and horses. It is one of the strongest military power of the Dashang Kingdom. The Guan Nei Road also has several passes that are one of the passes that can be opened by tens of thousands of men, and it is also the dragon-rise place of the Yin family of the Dashang Kingdom. The most awesome but most low-key vassal king Qin, is located in Guannei Road.

Someone once praised the Guan Nei Dao that even if the Da Shang lost more than a dozen Dao, as long as the Guan Nei Dao was still there, there would still be hope for restoring the country. Although the late Emperor Huizong of the Da Shang was a foolish emperor in the eyes of the people, he attached great importance to the Guan Nei Dao, and named his younger brother Yin Hai, the most loyal to him, and he inherited the Qin King Yin Hai. Although the Qin King Yin Hai, although he had the strongest Dao in the Da Shang, was loyal to the emperors of both dynasties.

Both the son of the late emperor, Qin King Yin Hai also had the opportunity to be the crown prince at that time, but Yin Hai did not have the ambition of fighting for the throne like the second brother Yin Che. At the most critical moment, he chose to stand beside his eldest brother Yin Ren, so that Yin Ren could be the crown prince and then settled as the emperor. Yin Ren was the later Emperor Huizong. After Yin Ren ascended the throne, he drove his second brother Yin Che to the place where he could not shit. He also made contributions to suppressing the rebellion and changed his title from Prince Jing to Prince Pingxi.

Yin Hai was named King of Qin and guarded Guannei Road, the Longxing area of ​​Da Shang. Later, Shannan King Yin Ye plotted rebellion and once raised an army to occupy the six counties of Wuyuan, Guyuan, Luochen, Dengzhou, Hong'an and Baliang. The official army that went to suppress the rebellion was defeated by Shannan King twice. The kings were shocked and the capital was forced to be martial law. At the critical moment, Yin Hai personally led the Guannei army to defeat Yin Ye in Baliang, beheaded his head, and passed it to the capital. Emperor Yin Ren of Huizong was very happy and highly praised Yin Hai, and was given the title of hereditary and hereditary.

However, later, Emperor Huizong Yin Ren was worried that the vassal kings were too powerful, so he tentatively accepted some of the military power of the vassal kings. The first person to stand up to respond to the emperor's order and handed over the military power was King Yin Hai of Qin. Yin Hai reduced the 40,000 elite soldiers in the pass to less than 20,000, and acted like a gesture to the kings. The princes were helpless or gritted their teeth in secret, but no matter what, they could only hand over some of the military power in the end.

In that palace coup, Yang Jingzhong hanged Queen Wang to death and helped Yin Guang ascend the throne overnight. When the court was full of criticism about Yang Jingzhong hanged Queen Wang, it was the report of King Yin Hai of Qin to ascend the throne, and suggested that the new emperor boldly reuse Yang Jingzhong. It was the King of Qin who spoke out that some ministers who spoke for the Queen Wang shut up.

It is precisely because of the support of King Qin and Yang Jingzhong that Yin Guang was able to hold the throne firmly, which shows the position of King Qin in the dynasty of the Great Shang Kingdom. Even the chief supervisor of the Inner Palace, Yang Jingzhong praised it, "Even if all the kings rebel, the King of Qin must be the one who serves the king and suppresses the rebellion!"

Although Qin King Yin Hai was not happy with Yang Jingzhong, Yin Hai knew that during that period, only Yang Jingzhong was greedy for power and cruel and ruthless, he could settle the nobles in the court and allow the new emperor to take over the government smoothly. For the sake of the great Shang Dynasty, Yin Hai endured Yang Jingzhong's domineering. In order not to make people say that he had the intention to plan for the throne, he was low-key and low-key. From the late emperor to the Huizong Dynasty and then to Yin Guang, he endured it until now, and has been doing it for decades.

It is rare for people to know themselves. Yin Hai felt that with his own ability, he was more than capable of fighting, and being a vassal king was just right, but he was not enough to be an emperor. Therefore, he obediently sat in the position of the King of Qin. In addition to paying tribute, he rarely entered the capital, and sat safely in the inner road, guarding the country for his elder brother and nephew, and could not be low-key. Although Yang Jingzhong was autocratic, he was also afraid of the power of the King of Qin.

Yanwu County, the Guannei Road, borders Wolong River in the north and Qinghua Mountain in the south. The famous Qin Wang Wang is located in Yanwu County. Although Qin Wang Yinhai was the younger brother of the late emperor Huizong and was highly trusted by two generations of emperors, the Qin Wang Mansion was not large in size. It is also in the Prince's Mansion, far less than the Pingxi County Prince's Mansion, and is comparable to the Wei Prince's Mansion in Jiannan Road. However, Yanwu County has a tall wall and is the first major city in the northwest.

However, although the Qin Palace is not as majestic as the Pingxi Palace, no one dares to underestimate it. After all, there is a vassal king with the greatest power and most trusted by the emperor. In Yanwu County, there is Anping Street and the Qin Palace on Anping Street. At this time, it was the early winter and November, and the weather was a little cold. It snowed lightly in Yanwu City last night. From a distance, the two stone lions at the entrance of the Qin Palace were covered in the snow, as if they were asleep.

At this time, the snow had not stopped completely. Only the five house-sized doors of the Qin Palace, covered with snow-covered green glazed tiles, tall gatehouses, and eight strong sword-bearing guards standing in front of the main entrance showed the momentum of the No. 1 Prince's Mansion of the Great Shang Dynasty. Although it had just snowed and the weather was cold, the eight slightly thin-clad sword-bearing guards were still tall and had no sign of being frozen at all. Obviously, each of them had good internal strength. You can imagine that the Qin Palace was creeping tigers and hidden dragons at such elites.

The main structures of the Qin Palace and other princes’ palaces are similar. Opposite the gate is a screen wall. When you enter the palace gate, it is still a screen wall, then there is Yin'an Hall, the second gate, the temple, the back building, etc. As for the left and right roads of the palace, it is very different from other palaces. King Yin Hai of Qin and the old princess used to live in Jifu Garden on the left, while the prince Yin Zhisheng lived in Hongyun Hall on the right, and the other concubines and others were lined up in sequence on the left.

However, a few years ago, shortly after the death of the old princess Ru Xinqing, Ru Xinqing's son, the prince Yin Zhisheng, left the Qin Palace. Usually, the prince only lives in Wuping County and rarely comes back to the Qin Palace once a year. When the old Qin King was young, he suppressed the rebellion in Shannan Road, and was hit by Hu Taibao, the general under the King of Shannan Yin Ye, with an arrow, injured his lungs and left a problem with asthma. In recent years, he has also caused coughing problems, so in recent years, the old Qin King's health has become worse and worse.

Unfortunately, the prince was not in the palace, so the old Qin King Yin Hai handed it over to the concubine Yan Xuanping to handle it. Yan Xuanping was young, shrewd and capable, and managed the royal palace in an orderly manner. Everyone in the palace praised it. Moreover, this concubine treated the servants very well and had rewards every holiday, so they won the favor of the servants. These servants praised the concubines from time to time in front of the Qin King, and the Qin King relied on her more and more.

The concubine Yan Xuanping lives in Aoshuang Garden behind Jifu Garden. It is the second only to the Jifu Garden where the prince lives and the Hongyun Hall where the prince lives. It is very exquisite, with carved beams and painted buildings, and is beautiful. There are two large elm trees planted in the large courtyard of Aoshuang Garden. It is said that it is the suggestion of Taoist Feng Qing, the leader of the northern Taoist sect. It is said that the Feng Shui of this courtyard is most suitable for planting elm trees, which can ensure the longevity and longevity of the Qin Palace. Therefore, the Qin King Yin Hai ordered people to transplant two elm trees from the mountain.

Afar, a manager from the Qin Palace led two people into the palace from Asmen. The manager wore a blue sable hat and a blue cotton robe on his head, and a pair of big leather boots under his feet, but rubbed his hands while walking, which was obviously a little cold. The two people following him were not tall, and the brocade cotton robe they wore was not thin, but they were so cold that they shrank their hands and feet, as if they were not used to the sudden cold weather.

There are already servants in the palace sweeping the snow, but unfortunately God is still there

The snowflakes were falling slowly, so they couldn't clean them. The three people who came in from Ass Gate walked towards Aoshuangyuan on the not-so-thick snow. The three people were silent along the way, and only heard the snow under their feet creaking. After about a cup of tea, the three people finally arrived at Aoshuangyuan.

The manager of the royal family greeted the middle-aged eunuch who was guarding the gate of Aoshuangyuan. He bit his ear and said a few words, and then bowed to the two guests who were ruthless. The middle-aged eunuch who was guarding the gate was wearing a fifth-grade uniform. Perhaps because of the cold weather, there was a lack of smile on his face. He led the two guests to the yard with a stern face. The guests who were walking behind the eunuch had a pair of triangular eyes and had two beards looking around. Seeing that there was no one nearby, he coughed gently.

The middle-aged eunuch who was leading the way turned around and looked at the Triangle Eye guest with a look of confusion. The guest smiled slightly, took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it over, and said respectfully: "Eunuch Ma, we are here for the first time, but we don't respect you. Please accept it with a smile!"

"Oh..." The middle-aged eunuch Ma seemed a little surprised when he saw the silver bill handing over. He stretched out half of his hand and seemed to think that it was a bit inappropriate if he took the silver. His hand froze there and was stunned for a moment. Eunuch Ma sniffed, slowly retracted his hand, a little embarrassed, and laughed embarrassedly, and said in a long voice: "Oh, Lord Gu, as the saying goes, "Why don't you receive me and have no peace of mind to sleep and eat, right?"

The triangular bearded beard was called Lord Gu's guest and stuffed the silver notes into the middle-aged eunuch's hands and said with a smile: "It's a cold day, I'm still bothering Eunuch Ma to lead the way. This is a little bit of a slight meaning. My father-in-law just accepts it with a smile!"

Eunuch Ma hesitated for a moment, and finally stuffed the silver notes into his sleeve. Eunuch Ma coughed and finally had a smile on his face, "Okay, then our family will take it off with shame! If Lord Gu has anything to do in the future, just say something, our family will definitely help within our ability!"

Lord Gu in brown brocade robe smiled and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Ma, for your care. We will deal with each other frequently in the future. There are many places where the officials may trouble my father-in-law! The officials knew that Eunuch Ma liked the flower porcelain produced in Luohe County very much. It happened that the officials had two pieces of flower porcelain that were said to be the best. If you have time, please give me a seat to the place to help me identify it. I am very grateful!"

Eunuch Ma was very satisfied and smiled happily, "It's easy to say! As long as Lord Gu doesn't dislike him, we will be more close to each other in the future!"

In a blink of an eye, Eunuch Ma led Lord Gu and his two to the East Warehouse in Aoshuangyuan. Eunuch Ma stood at the door of the Warehouse and whispered: "Princess, Lord Gu has arrived!"

The warm cabinet did not respond. The three of them stood in front of the door and bent and waited. After a while, someone in the warm cabinet slowly said, "Please come in!" Eunuch Ma responded, stepped forward and pushed open the door. Two maids came out to greet him and signaled Lord Gu and the other to go in.

Lord Gu and the young man who had not spoken behind him walked in with the two maids, feeling that the warm pavilion was as warm as spring, completely different from the outside. The two walked to the couch with the maid and saw a graceful middle-aged woman tilted on the couch, chewing the apples fed by the maid. Lord Gu immediately knelt down and worshiped: "Fu Youliang, the chief of the Princess of the Xiaguan Pingxi Palace, please see the princess!" The people behind Lord Gu also bowed down together, but did not say a word.

The woman tilted on the couch did not let the two of them flat, but chuckled and asked slowly: "The southwest road is so far away. What does it mean to send you two as envoys to see me?"
