The Shang Di Emperor was the second Emperor of the Xi dynasty. He was originally given the personal name Li Yuan Tian, the second eldest son of The Late Emperor with The Empress Dowager.
The Late Emperor was the governor of Shanxi who rose in rebellion along with his supporters. His first born son died in war therefore the throne was passed to Li Yuan Tian who also joined the war with Li Liang Rong. After The Late Emperor reigned for eight years, he decided to retreat to the second palace at Luoyang , passed the throne to Li Yuan Tian, and became Taishang Huangdi.
While The Emperor was attending the regular assembly, it had crossed his mind that this year marked the year that he was reigning emperor longer than The Late Emper
After Lou Sheng presented the armor in front of Li Fei Long, he started to make sure all the preparation met his standard.As the departure of the troops had already been decided, Jiang Xi Yu felt even more anxious. She always came up with something for Li Fei Long to bring along to the campaign. Because of this, she also made Xiao Gan Zi scramble to manage her requests.Li Fei Long was trying his full set armor for the last time before he led his brother and Commander Lin out from the imperial city on the next day. Sitting at the front yard, Lou Sheng helped Li Fei Long to make sure that the armor suit was perfectly fit to Li Fei Long’s body.“I still think you need to take Master Gao to accompany you at the war.” Walking closer to where the group of men were doing their preparation, Jiang X
Li Fei Long and Commander Lin Rui En led the accompaniment of the troops passed the imperial city gate gallantly. Wearing full armor, Li Fei Long and Commander Lin Rui En waved to the commoners while they were leaving the capital city. While the commoners were in awe, Jiang Xi Yu watched them leaving with heavy hearts.To stay in respectful manner with Jing Gui Fei and also because she thought she needed to be distracted, Jiang Xi Yu chose to enter the palace after Li Fei Long and the troops left. She brought Ding mama and left behind Ru Ming and Ru Qing. This also gave the impression not only towards Jing Gui Fei
In a rush, Xiao Gan Zi gonggong approached a group that was led by Jiang Xi Yu.To fill in her boretime, Jiang Xi Yu agreed to teach and share her skincare products with her qie shi. Xiao Gan Zi gonggong reached the pavilion where the group had their lesson. The moment they saw Xiao Gan Zi gonggong arrive and seemed to be nervous, all of them became worried.Jiang Xi Yu’s heart skipped a beat.“Wang ye
General Jiang arrived at the meeting point according to a predetermined schedule. Arriving with an additional ten thousand men behind him, General Jiang immediately reported himself to Li Fei Long and the others.Based on the rank given, General Jiang has a higher rank than Commander Lin and Li Fei Long did not possess any military rank. But Commander Lin Rui En was the son of The Great General Lin and Li Fei Long was the direct descendant of The Holy One, General Jiang still needed to show respect to them.“This official greets Duan Qin Wang, Chen Qing Wang.” Politely, General Jiang lowered his head toward Commander Lin without mentioning his title.“Ge
On the day the royal convoy was leaving the capital, Jiang Xi Yu witnessed how glorious the life of the royal families was at that time. The people were standing along the side road hoping to catch a glimpse of any member of the royal family. There was not a single one standing on the second floor of any houses because it was forbidden to stand and look from higher places than The Emperor.The Emperor shared the main royal carriage with his Empress and was followed behind by the royal carriage for his Gui Fei. Jing Gui Fei shared her royal carriage with Duan Wang Fei, while Shu
In the condition that both hands are tied back and wearing only pants at the bottom of his body, Ashina Helu herded in by Lou Sheng.He was pushed until he fell to his knees in front of the four Kings, Duan Qin Wang, Chen Qin Wang, The Great General Kong, and Strategist Commander Bai. The four Kings of the Northwest looked very much surprised to see his presence and condition.It was not so bad actually. At least for him, who has been in many wars and leading the three largest tribes, he had been in a condition more severe than this. He purposely spat and hissed at all of them. But it was blood that came from his mouth and dropped onto the ground. He grinned at the four Kings that swore their loyalty to Xi Empire. He swore inside his heart that someday their clans
After Ashina Helu was captured, The Western Turk’s troops lost their direction. The incident was unexpected and surprising for them and burned their anger to launch a war. The sub leader below Ashina Helu attacked Gaochang more viciously but without a clear direction. Their target was torn between trying to save Ashina Helu or defeating the power of the Xi Empire in the northwest.Based on Li Fei Long’s predictions, The Western Turks would split their troops. He insisted on dividing their group, Li Fei Long with General Jiang to hold on Gaochang, Great General Kong and Strategist Commander Bai in Karasahr, and Li Jin Qiu with Commander Lin in Kucha.King Kan Bo Zhou and King Zhang fought along with Li Fei Long. King Ma fought along with General Kong and Commander Bai in Karasahr while King Qu fought along Li Jin Qiu and Commander Lin.
The summer retreat concludes with a dispatch report about an event that made Duan Qin Wang and General Jiang nearly in between life and death. The Emperor made an order for Duan Qin Wang and Chen Qin Wang to return to the palace once the circumstances allowed them to receive an award.Since then Jiang Xi Yu has been feeling restless and scared. The Imperial entourage back to the capital city was filled with sorrow. Yan Huang Fei joined their grand carriage to help comfort both Jing Gui Fei
“Taizifei, this precious gifts was sent from the residence of Minister Jiang. Should nucai ask the other servants to take the other gifts to another room and leave the gifts from Minister Jiang here?”Xiao Gan Zi gonggong bowed to Jiang Xi Yu who was sitting at Yonghe Gate Hall, surrounded by many gifts that were sent out from all the royal families and members of the government. There were even a variety of rare plants which were sent to their residence and had to be placed outside the hall first before Jiang Xi Yu decided where to place it.Two servants brought trays and stood behind X
At the time Du Yun gonggong stepped forward to call out every guest of the banquet to rise from their seats and to pay respect before announcing the arrival of The Emperor, Han Yao Ying had just reached the qin wang’s table.Han Yao Ying did not have time to stand behind the table with her husband when The Emperor entered the banquet with The Empress and The Empress Dowager behind him. With the help of a yahuan, Han Yao Ying kneeled down on the ground and her existence right away stole The Emperor’s attention.“You all may rise.” The Emperor gave his permission for all
Yanqi was strategically located along the Kaidu River. After submitting his resignation, The Great General Kong Li Jun retreated to Yanqi.When Duan Qin Wang led the war on The Northwest, The Great General Kong Li Jun was not directly involved. Even though he got an itch to join the war, he was unable to do so. His sons joined them and all he could do was just give the strategic war as support. The Great General Kong’s eldest son held the title as Commander Kong. He followed Duan Qin Wang to the Imperial City to receive his reward for his great involvement in the conquering mission of The Northwest. The Great General Kong was expecting his eldest son to get elevated.
On the day after, Minister Lin, Minister Feng, and Duan Qin Wang arrived at the Emperor's living hall almost at the same time. The three of them were bemused with the fact that The Grand Chancellor and the member of chancellery were already inside the hall and already started the audience with The Emperor.Du Yun gonggong held them outside and went back inside to inform The Emperor about their arrival.“Why did the Grand Chancellor bring all the members of the chancellery here and even arrive before us?” The Minister of Justice, Feng Luo Cheng, who was the oldest brother of Duchess of Jiang, exchanged looks with Minister Lin and
Du Yun gonggong directed some eunuch to place the wooden seat to face the side before Li Fei Long helped Jiang Xi Yu sit on it. All the twelve imperial taiyi already queued behind Li Fei Long and waited for Jiang Xi Yu to get comfortable on the seat before the senior taiyi started to examine Jiang Xi Yu’s pulse.When the first imperial taiyi started the examination, palace guards brought in Ashina Helu and his five subordinates. Each of them was held by two palace guards and got forced to kneel in front of The Emperor. That was the first time Jiang Xi Yu saw
The entourage back to the imperial city was completely different from the royal entourage during last year's summer vacation.General Jiang brought along half of his troops because they took Ashina Helu and his commanders along. Only Jiang Xi Yu, Chen Wang Fei and her maids were women. The summer retreat entourage seemed lively with all the noble women chattering and dressing in colorful dresses. But this victorious entourage gave a much different impression by the fierce appearance of war warriors.“This child of mine might be born with a stern face and a hard heart because while I am carrying now I have experienced many things. I hope this child will be strong just like right now. Carrying this child does not make me feel nauseous or sick.” Jiang Xi Yu gla
It was in the middle of the night. Li Fei Long was still awake and laying down next to Jiang Xi Yu who was sleeping soundly. Li Fei Long was still feeling the euphoria of being reunited with Jiang Xi Yu. His happiness was multiplied after knowing Jiang Xi Yu was pregnant with his child.Once again, Li Fei Long turned his head to his side to watch Jiang Xi Yu’s face. He smiled at his wife. His sight landed again on Jiang Xi Yu’s belly. Jiang Xi Yu's stomach was already a bit bulging. He wanted to touch his wife but he also could not bear if Jiang Xi Yu woke up because of him.He knew he would not be able to sleep that night. If he continued to lay down next to Jiang Xi Yu, would not be able to control himself not to touch his wife. So Li Fei Long decided to stand up and stay away from the bed.He go
“This official hereby declares the Xi Empire's victory over The Northwest territory. Thus, The Northwest is officially under Xi Empire authority.”The Grand Chancellor stood on the platform that was divided between the officials who attended the morning assembly with The Dragon Throne. He announced it proudly and let the officials before him kneeled and convey their congratulations to the Emperor. He waited until everyone calmed down a bit before continuing on delivering the announcement he had prepared under the Emperor's approval a moment ago.“Duan Qin Wang, Chen Qin Wang, General Jiang, The three Kings of the Northwest, Commander Bai, and Commander Kong succeeded in expanding the territory of the Xi Empire
Arriving at the closest barrack, Li Fei Long quickly found his yurt where Ming He and Qian Chang Xin were stationed there. The moment Li Fei Long arrived and was carrying Jiang Xi Yu in his hands, they rushed to prepare the bed pad inside the yurt before Li Fei Long put Jiang Xi Yu down there.“Ming He, quickly go call a physician to check on wang fei’s condition. Do not say a word about wang fei being here. Just say that ben wang needs a little assistance.” Li Fei Long gave the order after Jiang Xi Yu perfectly laid on the perfunctory bed pad. Without further discussion, Ming He went out of the yurt after accepting the order.
