In 682, the first year of the Diyun Continent, the Great Emperor Dongfang Xiong issued a decree to abolish the crown prince position of Her Royal Highness Princess Dongfang Qinyin, and appointed Dongfang Xin as the new crown prince!
This decision was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone. Princess Dongfang Qinyin has always been a highly regarded figure. She is smart, talented, and regarded as the future monarch. However, just when everyone was unprepared, this sudden change caught everyone off guard.
What was even more unexpected was that just one week after the decree was issued, Princess Dongfang Qinyin mysteriously disappeared without any warning.
Dongfang Xiong, who learned of the situation, immediately sent a large number of people to search everywhere, but there has been no result so far. The whereabouts of the princess has become a huge mystery, and people are talking about it, with all kinds of speculations and rumors.
At the same time, in the autumn of the first year of the reign of Emperor Yuan, a shocking event also occurred in the northern regime of Chu. The people of Chu could no longer bear the heavy taxes and oppression, and finally an uprising broke out.
The uprising army rose up quickly, and they shouted the slogan of "share the land, share the food, share the money", which attracted the response of countless people. Surprisingly, the leaders of this uprising army were actually led by two women.
They were brave and resourceful, and led the rebel army to break through the capital in just one year, and slaughtered the palace. All the royal family members of Chu were slaughtered in this massacre, without exception.
In 683, the first year of the Diyun Continent, a new emperor ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Da Chu and the reign title to Xinjian, marking the beginning of a new era. This new emperor became the second female emperor of the Diyun Continent, and her name was Xiang Yuxin.
Xiang Yuxin's ascension to the throne caused a sensation. People were full of curiosity and expectations about this empress, but also expressed concerns about her ability to rule.
However, Xiang Yu Jixin proved her ability and determination with practical actions. She quickly stabilized the situation and implemented a series of reform measures, which led to the gradual prosperity of Da Chu.
Time flies, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye. Under Xiang Yuxin's meticulous governance, the national strength of Da Chu is at its peak and is thriving. The country is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are rich. There is a thriving scene everywhere.
In sharp contrast, the old emperor of Dagan, Dongfang Xiong, was too worried about the whereabouts of his daughter, Dongfang Qinyin, or something else. He was exhausted and eventually died two years ago due to a relapse of his old illness. Subsequently, Dongfang Xin ascended the throne and became the new emperor of Dagan.
However, the country that Dongfang Xin took over was already in tatters and in turmoil. The people were living in poverty and the taxes were heavy and unbearable; the army was lax in discipline and had no fighting power; the court was even more corrupt and full of filth. The Great Gan Kingdom had reached a critical moment of life and death.
The new emperor, Dongfang Xin, was not bad, but he was not outstanding either. Faced with such a difficult situation, he was willing to reform, but he was unable to do so.
In addition, the booming development of the neighboring country Da Chu was like a dazzling star, attracting countless people from Da Gan. Many people could not bear the plight at home and chose to leave their homes and settle in Da Chu.
In the year 689 of the Diyun Continent, Xiang Yuxin led his army to launch a war called "Southern Expedition", with the goal of defeating the Dagan Dynasty in one fell swoop.
The war lasted for three full years, during which both sides fought fiercely. Finally, Xiang Yuxin's army successfully entered the capital. The Dagan Dynasty, which had lasted for more than a thousand years, came to an end, and the Diyun Continent ushered in a new era of unification.
In the Xiao Mansion in Yongning City, there is a quiet courtyard with an ancient willow tree in the middle. Its lush branches and leaves, the shade of the tree, bring a coolness to this small world. Under the shade of the willow tree, there is an exquisite stone table with a chessboard engraved on it. On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces are intertwined, as if telling the story of a fierce game.
At this time, two figures were sitting in front of the stone table, playing Go leisurely. One of them was a young man with a handsome face and elegant temperament; the other was a middle-aged man with a majestic look between his eyebrows. With the crisp sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard, the young man suddenly spoke:
"Dad, you asked Master to kill Da Gan. Isn't that a bit too much?"
The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this, and replied slowly, "Too much? That old guy bullied my daughter-in-law, and I think that's too much? Besides, the successor he chose is not very capable. That little bastard is incompetent in governing the country, and the people are complaining. The fall of Dagan is only a matter of time."
"He actually chose a layman who knows nothing about government affairs as the emperor. If this dynasty doesn't fall, who else can?"
The middle-aged man said sternly, and the young man couldn't help but sigh after hearing it.
"That's right... He was the one who asked him to dismiss the princess. He deserves it."
After that, the two continued to focus on the chessboard, going back and forth, neither giving in. At this tense moment of the game, a clear female voice suddenly came from the room.
"Ning'er, change your son's diaper quickly!"
This voice was like a flash of lightning, breaking the silence in the yard. Xiao Ning was slightly startled when he heard the call, and then responded:
"Oh, I see!"
He quickly moved his eyes away from the chessboard, scanned the chessboard quickly, and then hastily placed a black piece. It was obviously a decision he made in a hurry.
