Tranquility

"His Royal Highness, this is the battle report just received!"

"Bring it up!"

It was already late autumn, and it took a month after Xie Baiyun's army joined with Tangning's Qiongjing garrison to capture Yongzhou and stabilize the situation, preventing the revival of the loyal king's forces in Yongzhou.

However, Fengju has a high reputation in Yongzhou, and Yongzhou under violent pressure actually has many hidden dangers, so several coaches decided to make a quick decision and let Xia Houchun's deputy general stay in Yongzhou. Mr. Pei knows Yongzhou very well and stays in charge of the front army Food and military resources and other issues.

Meanwhile, Xie Baiyun and Tangning led their troops northward.At this time, they had just passed the natural danger of the Yangtze River and entered the rear of Fengju.

Xie Baiyun acted swiftly and resolutely. As soon as he came up, he found out the granaries in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. He did not hesitate to rob what he could, steal what he could steal, or simply burn them all if he couldn't.

This forced Fengju to attack the capital even more frantically. The capital has been besieged for more than a month. Fortunately, the capital has been consciously storing grain. There are many secret granaries in the palace. These grains are enough for them to persist until the arrival of reinforcements.

But this does not mean that they are safe, and the interior of the capital is not monolithic. Fengwei resisted Fengju's crazy attack, and at the same time exerted pressure like the palace, demanding that Fengchu commit suicide and give up the throne. The palace, which had no self-protection ability, was exposed to the rebels.

And the people in the palace are not vegetarians either, they have palace guards, dead men, and some of the Chengbei Daying sergeants under Lord Zhen Guo who have not rebelled, barely able to guard the palace, not to mention they have Concubine Degui as a hostage in their hands, As long as Fengwei pushes too hard, he will pull Concubine Degui out to threaten Fengwei. Fengchu is not a benevolent monarch. When it comes to bloody plots, Fengwei can't keep up with her flattery. He has been squeezed out and framed by Concubine Degui in the harem all these years. All will be returned tenfold, the poor Concubine Degui has been tortured to the point of being unbearable.

Fengwei is quite human, he can't stand by and watch his biological mother being tortured, and most of his troops are spent on defending the city, so he can't do anything against the palace. If he spends his troops on attacking the palace, he will probably be taken advantage of by Fengju. He entered from the void, but he was very unwilling to cooperate with Fengchu.

Therefore, the general trend of the whole world, with the imperial palace as the center, is surrounded by a ring, restraining each other but maintaining a delicate balance.But this balance is very fragile, as long as there is a little external force or internal breakdown, it will lead to the outbreak of the entire war situation.

When Xie Baiyun saw the battle report, his face became very pale. He passed the letter to Tangning next to him. Tangning read it as before and passed it on to the next person.This battle report seemed to be contagious, and the faces of everyone who saw it changed.

When the battle report was sent back to Xie Baiyun again, he had already analyzed the matter almost.

"What do you all think about this?" Xie Baiyun was not in a hurry to express his opinion, and asked everyone.

"Is the eldest prince a pig's brain? How could he think of forming an alliance with Fengju." The impatient Vice General Wu jumped out impatiently and shouted.

"This is seeking skin from a tiger!" The veteran sighed.

"It's a joke in the world, who gave the eldest prince such a bad idea?"

"Hmph! Who else but the Ding family?"

"Has the First Prince been arrested?"

"It makes sense. It would make sense if the First Prince was coerced into forming an alliance."

"Hey, it doesn't make any sense. Since the rebel army has captured the eldest prince, it means that the capital has already fallen, so why would they form an alliance with him? What we received should be the news of Fengju's ascension to the throne."

There were whispering voices everywhere in the conference hall, and everyone was puzzled by Feng Wei's brain-twitching behavior.Feng Ju wants to snatch his throne, so is Feng Wei willing to hand over the throne to someone else?

The situation in the palace was overwhelmed by Feng Wei, separated by Feng Ju's rebel army, so the surrounding soldiers didn't know who the old emperor had passed on the throne to. Seeing that Feng Wei had mastered the third battalion in the capital, they thought It was the eldest prince who took over the throne, the reason why he didn't proclaim himself emperor immediately was because the capital was in danger and there was no such condition.

However, both Xie Baiyun and Tangning had stayed in the capital, and they knew the situation inside well. They didn't believe that Feng Chu would lose to Feng Wei.

"Don't be impatient, everyone," Xie Baiyun reassured everyone. When the hall became quiet again, he turned to Tangning and asked, "Zian, what do you think?"

Tangning pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Is it possible that something went wrong inside the capital? Perhaps the first prince and the second prince had an internal strife for the throne. The first prince was restrained even though he held the army. And we robbed so many rebels Food and grass, they were about to run out of food, and the back road was outflanked by us again, Fengju was forced to attack the capital with his deadly hands, the eldest prince couldn't hold on, so it would be better to cooperate than die, the eldest prince gave Fengju food and grass, Fengju helped the big The prince won the throne?"

Tangning's words made all the soldiers think deeply, but what he said was just a guess, and most people were still skeptical about it.

"I heard that the second prince is not good at writing, he is very weak, and he has not yet married a wife. He can compete with the first prince? He can even force the first prince to do this? I don't believe it."

Xie Baiyun looked at Tangning and smiled. What Tangning said was similar to what he had guessed. She was indeed the one he had his eyes on. Xie Baiyun was very sweet in his heart, but his face stopped smiling, and said solemnly: "This son grew up in the imperial city. I have studied and hunted with the three princes. No one knows what they are capable of than this prince.

From this son's point of view, the eldest prince has a reckless and impulsive personality and is self-willed. He is absolutely inferior to the second prince.On the contrary, the second prince is tolerant and self-disciplined, has extensive knowledge and strong knowledge, is very strategic, and has the appearance of a wise king. "

After several months of fighting, the soldiers Xie Baiyun bluffed from Kunnan were gradually conquered by Xie Baiyun. Now not only him, but even Tangning has established his own WeChat account. Therefore, when Xie Baijun said this, everyone else nodded in conviction. .

"This prince's guess is similar to that of Zi'an, but the question before us at this moment is whether we should continue to attack the rebel army. Attacking the rebel army means rebelling against the eldest prince!"

When Xie Baiyun mentioned this, everyone realized that they were in serious trouble. If they continued to fight, they would somehow become rebels; if they didn't fight, then what are they still doing in the south of the Yangtze River?

This matter has to be clarified, otherwise it will be wrong, and it will be a fart if you don't know your own position.

Just when everyone was frowning, Tangning smiled lightly and wrote lightly, "This is not a problem at all. The First Prince means that it is an alliance. What the alliance does means that they have a common enemy. If the First Prince is really the heir, then What he said should not be an alliance, but a recruiting."

Although the people here are generals, they are not stupid. Although they are very straightforward, they don't know how to turn, and they don't understand the twists and turns between civil servants, but after Tangning gave some advice, they immediately turned around. , some even laughed,

Someone slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's not the case, we are loyal to the imperial court, that big prince, let us stop after he sits on the throne!"

The dignified atmosphere in the meeting hall relaxed, but Xie Baiyun continued: "Now that the First Prince has formed an alliance with the rebels, I am afraid that the capital will not last long. We must step up, but we can't push it too hard to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry. .It is necessary to hit them with one blow and not give them a chance to struggle, so as to ensure the safety of the imperial city."

"It's best to rescue the people inside, so that we don't have to fight the mouse," Tangning added.

Xie Baiyun cast him a puzzled look, but Tangning blinked at him.

A smile flickered on the corner of Xie Baiyun's mouth.

It wasn't until the lights were turned on that the people in the meeting hall gradually dispersed.

Tangning followed Xie Baiyun back to the courtyard.They have been eating and living together since they met again.They are even closer than they have known each other for more than ten years.

When I returned to the courtyard for dinner, Xie Baiyun asked at the dinner table: "Why did you say that today? It's not easy to save people by crossing Fengju's [-] troops."

"Do you still remember that I have a good friend named Fu Jiayan?" Tangning pretended.

"Of course I remember, wasn't he dismissed from office and returned to his hometown?" Xie Baiyun asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, I met his cousin when I was in Yongzhou. After hearing about Fu Jiayan from him and hearing that I came to Yongzhou to be a co-prefect, he decided to bring his family to help me and make me a clerk."

Xie Baiyun suddenly asked: "Is he in Jiangnan?"

Tang Ning said: "Exactly, he caught up with Fengju to occupy Jiangnan as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan. Fengju didn't allow anyone to go north to enter Yongzhou in order to prevent spies, and took control of the boats crossing the river. He infiltrated into Fengju's army, hoping After getting the position, I can receive an errand back to Yongzhou. I just saw him this morning, and he is nearby now, and he is now the military adviser in the rear."

"Have you been in contact?"

"Let's use Feige to send a letter to meet at Wangri Tower tomorrow morning for a detailed discussion. It's not suitable for us to come forward, and Hongyu is too conspicuous, let Mo Yi go."

"It's so good, it's very convenient to attack by surprise from the inside or pass the test by bluffing." Xie Baiyun agreed.

Now that Feng Ju's control over the rear has weakened, Fu Jiayan and Mo Yi have reached an agreement very smoothly.

According to the news from Modai, Fu Jiayan is now in charge of transporting grain and grass to the rear, although the soldiers transporting the transport are strictly inspected.But if you pretend to be the Ding family caravan to transport food, as long as you have the Ding family's special token, you can reach the capital smoothly.

The Ding family made a lot of money this year, earning a lot of money. Who would have thought that the disaster would be alleviated so easily, but they would start fighting again.So the Ding family unceremoniously launched a war again.The headquarters of the Ding family is in the south of the Yangtze River. The disaster in the south of the Yangtze River this year is not serious, so the Ding family has hoarded a lot of food and grass. When Fengju occupied Jiangnan, they have been secretly supporting the eldest prince in order to protect their foundation. Moreover, the speculative psychology of the businessmen made them dare not Put all your eggs in one basket, so they choose to hedge their bets.The current cooperation between the First Prince and Fengju was instigated by the Ding family, and they made huge profits from transporting grain, and they could also gain the greatest political benefits.

The token engraved with lilac flowers in Tangning's hand was snatched by bandits. Fortunately, the lotus jade pendant in Xie Baiyun's hand was still there. With the token, the plan was much simpler.

This time the plan was no small matter, Tangning decided to bring a food protection team of several hundred people into the capital.Xie Baiyun strongly objected to this. If nothing else, Tangning's face couldn't be hidden.

But Tangning also had his own reasons. He was the one who proposed the plan. He knew all the requirements, and faced with many emergencies, he needed someone who could respond accordingly. Moreover, he had connections in the capital, so he could quickly figure it out when he arrived in the capital. situation.

In the end, it was Shu Hongyu who proposed to act together with Tangning. Although he didn't have the Disguise Technique, he could still cover up with some potion.Seeing that Tang Ning had made up her mind, Xie Baiyun had no choice but to force Mo Yi to accompany her, and then reluctantly sent away her disguised lover.

With tokens clearing the way, Tangning and his party traveled smoothly until they met the Ding family from the capital who came to meet them.

"Who are you guys? What's your relationship with Tangning?" The leader of the Ding family is called Ding Minzhi. He is very young. Judging from his behavior, he can be seen as a fledgling. When he saw the token, his expression changed and he greeted the bodyguards. Surround people.

"We are from the Jiangnan master's family? What do you mean?" Tangning's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained unchanged.

"Hmph, I'm lying, this lotus-shaped jade pendant was discarded a few years ago, where did you get it!" Ding Minzhi didn't believe it at all.

"Of course it was given by the people in the old house. Although I am a branch of the Ding family, I am also a member of the Ding family. Why don't you know when the lotus jade pendant will be discarded?" Tangning pretended to be angrily, "Don't think that you just stay in the capital for two days. You can look down on the country people in our old house."

Ding Minzhi said disdainfully: "A few years ago, Ding Guangqi lost his jade pendant to Tang Ning. At that time, the family had ordered all the lotus jade pendants not to be used, and sent a letter to inform the people in the old house. Except for outsiders, Ding's family did not know about it. I know it all. You don’t know it? It must be a spy! Take it down for me!”

Just when the surrounding guards were about to make a move, and when Shu Hongyu and Mo Yi had already protected Tangning behind him, an old man suddenly appeared beside him, "Hey, hey, if you have something to say, it might be a misunderstanding! Minzhi, how did His Royal Highness tell you?" What did you say? Don’t be impulsive, it’s not too late to find out what’s going on, and it’s a joke if you hurt your family.”

As he said that, the old man smiled and said to Tangning, "Old man Gu Yuanshan, whose name is Yannian, is from Yongzhou. He is the supervisor of this time. I don't know who this little friend is from the Ding family?"

After listening to his introduction, Tang Ning's heart moved. Isn't this the person Lin Qingyu introduced to his staff at the beginning? It seems that the other party is also trapped in Jiangnan just like Fu Jiayan, but he doesn't know what the other party's position is.

After eighteen twists and turns in her heart, Tangning still pretended to be shocked on the surface, and said without hesitation, "I, I am the genuine Ding family. My name is Ding Guangyin. Although I am a branch of the Ding family, my mother is The grand-niece of the patriarch, my father is married."

The old man smiled more and more kindly and said: "Oh, so that's the case. I don't know who gave you your token, and who gave you the task of delivering food and grass?"

"It's my grandfather. My mother said that I'm getting married this year. Because my father is married, my mother is afraid that I won't find a good family, so she asked my grandfather to help me find this job. My jade pendant was given to me by my grandfather." How could this jade pendant, which Grandpa had worn for more than ten years, be fake?" Tangning immediately made up a life experience in her heart that could be turned around.

"Then why don't you use your own? Since 20 years ago in our Ding family, as long as they were born in the Ding family, they would give a jade pendant as a token. What about your token?" Ding Minzhi doubted.

Tangning was immediately ashamed and embarrassed, and said weakly, "When I was born, my father didn't agree to marry me."

"So, Min Zhi, I heard that no one can imitate the Ding family's keepsake. I've also heard about that Tang Ning. She is a rare Sanyuan Jidi. His Royal Highness is still chasing him. The Princess said he escaped. I went to the west, how could this appear in Jiangnan.

As for why your grandfather is still using the lotus flower jade pendant, I can understand.Hey, I don’t like new gadgets when I’m old, and the old people miss the old ones. "

"That's right, that's right," Tangning quickly agreed with a flattering look, "My grandfather has not been in good health for the past two years, and his mind is always confused. Maybe he doesn't remember that the lotus jade pendant has been discarded, and he is still used to wearing it on his body."

Ding Minzhi was persuaded by the old and the young, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was true, not to mention that Gu Yuanshan was a person trusted by the loyal prince, he had to give face.It's just that he just said so swearingly that this would be a bit embarrassing, so he had to keep a straight face.

Gu Yuanshan is an old man, so the little kid couldn't see his thoughts, so he said kindly: "Well, it's getting late, and the food and grass on the front line are almost running out. Let's hurry up and set off. If we miss a major event and cause His Royal Highness to blame us, then it's okay alright."

Ding Minzhi thought about Feng Ju's gloomy face, the hairs on his back immediately stood on end, and he hurriedly yelled to leave.

It took a whole day for the group to arrive at the frontline camp. Tangning had been testing Gu Yuanshan along the way, and Gu Yuanshan had always been very friendly.Tangning pondered over and over again, and finally took the initiative to take a step cruelly. He believed in his own judgment, and even more in Lin Qingyu's.Sure enough, he made the right bet, and the other party quickly responded, and the two quickly reached a consensus.

When the nearly 1000-strong grain transport army arrived at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Gu Yuanshan split them up and distributed them to various granaries. This was Tangning's request. Until then, Tangning breathed a sigh of relief.

In the middle of the night, Mo Yi quietly left the camp behind Tangning's back, while Shu Hongyu stayed where he was.

According to the original plan, Mo Yi quickly found a secret passage leading to the palace nearby. This secret passage was dug by Mo Yi himself. Xie Baiyun has dug many secret passages in the capital for decades, all in order to prevent Kunnan from having any secret passages. Move him so that he can get away, which will come in handy.

Tangning followed Mo Yi for an unknown amount of time. It felt like the passage was endless. His legs were sore from walking. It was only when he saw the exit that the first ray of sunlight caught up with him. It turned out that they had walked all night without knowing it. .

"Where is this place?" Tangning looked around and asked.

"The place where the prince lived when he was a child, this house was used by the master before." Mo Yi pointed to the next door and said, "That is the second prince's yard."

"There seems to be no one here, let's avoid people and go to the main hall," Tangning said.

"The second prince's courtyard has a secret way to the main hall." Mo said to the palace's secret way like a treasure.

Tangning was speechless, Xie Baiyun, is this phoenix chick a pangolin? It's so good at digging tunnels.

Mo Yi walked Tangning through the secret passage and explained, "Master didn't dig this secret passage. When Master was young, he took us to search all the secret passages in the palace. This is the first secret passage we found. "

When Feng Chu saw Tangning coming out of the closet, she was not surprised at all. He had a tacit understanding with Xie Baiyun, and he had been deliberately guarding this exit for the past two days, "Mo Yi, Xie Baiyun sent you here?"

Mo nodded and resumed the hidden guard mode. Tangning stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, long time no see."

This time Feng Chu was surprised, and said, "Tangning, Tang Zian?"

"It's the subordinate."

"Why are you here?"

"Your Highness, it's a long story. Now is not the time to talk about this. We have a plan now..." Tangning cut the long story short and explained their plan.

"No, I won't run away. I am the master of this imperial city, how can I abandon my people and run away?" Unexpectedly, Feng Chu refused in one go.

Tangning never expected that Feng Chu would disagree. In his impression, Feng Chu was a person who would use any means to achieve his goals, and even a person who had no bottom line.

Unexpectedly, when things came to an end, Tang Ning was impressed by Feng Chu's strength of character. It turned out that this prince with a deep family background also had passion.

Tangning didn't try to persuade her to say anything, but watched Feng Chu gather people to make arrangements for the upcoming challenges, or opportunities.

Tangning came in secret, and the plan was very secret and could not be revealed, so he kept hiding from everyone except Lin Qingyu.

When Lin Qingyu saw Tangning, he was speechless, and it took him a while before he said, "Very good."

Tangning understood Lin Qingyu's worries for him these past few months, he smiled and comforted him, "Yes, I'm fine."

Then Tangning briefly described what happened to her in the past few months, and then detailed his plan with Xie Baiyun.

Lin Qingyu nodded, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to meet Concubine Degui?"

Tangning was taken aback for a moment before asking, "Is she here?"

Lin Qingyu took him to a side hall, Tangning couldn't believe her eyes, the dirty crazy woman in front of her was actually the elegant lady he had painted.

As soon as the crazy woman saw Tangning, she rushed forward, kowtowed hard, and shouted, "Brother, brother, I know I was wrong, please let me go! Damn me, damn me, I killed my sister! Haha , I deserve what I deserve, I have retribution! Haha!"

Suddenly, she stood up again, and said coldly: "Nonsense, Lin Wanyu deserves to die. If she is not dead, how can I enter the palace, how can I be a noble concubine, or queen mother? With her here, I have nothing. Everything belongs to her. Why! I’m right, I’m right, if you want to get something, you have to grab it, why don’t you grab it! Everything I have is my hard work, I have a clear conscience!”

Tangning looked at Lin Qingyu in surprise, "Is she crazy?"

Concubine Degui suddenly fell to the ground and cried: "Son, son, Fengwei, my son, mother concubine is here!"

Lin Qingyu sneered: "She must be crazy if she is not crazy."

Originally, Tangning wanted to question Concubine Degui about what happened back then, but seeing her in this state, she knew there was nothing she could ask.Her current fate is more uncomfortable than letting her die.

Tangning also saw Shui Mingxuan. He wanted to go up to ask about the situation at home. Lin Qingyu said that when he sent someone to Zhuangyuan's mansion, there was no one in the mansion.Tangning guessed that it was Shui Mingxuan who settled him down, but he couldn't appear in front of people. Tangning had never felt that time passed so slowly. He wished that it would be night or the next day in the blink of an eye. Everything would be over.

Finally, the night slowly sank, the moon hung high in the sky like a bright mirror, and the surroundings were dead silent, as calm as before a storm.

Feng Chu led people to stand on the tallest tower of the palace to look out, her jet-black eyes did not blink, for fear of missing it.

Suddenly a muffled sound exploded, as if the sky had been exploded, followed by several muffled explosions in succession, just like firecrackers set off during the New Year.

Soon the flames soared into the sky accompanied by thick smoke.

Feng Chu excitedly said: "Okay, okay! Come on, pass on the order and act according to plan."

Tangning looked at the sky covered by thick smoke in the distance and trembled nervously. The dozens of carts of medicine that Shu Hongyu had prepared had taken effect, but she didn't know if he could escape.

What they brought in was not grain and grass at all, but poison prepared by Shu Hongyu. The poison was very flammable and could ignite the entire granary. After burning, it would produce a lot of toxic smoke and spread very quickly. Although it was not fatal, However, it can blind people's eyes, make them difficult to breathe, and cause short-term coma.

And Xie Baiyun, who was in the back of the Jiangnan, would insert the gap torn from Fu Jiayan like a sharp sword, and plunge into the enemy's front line at lightning speed, killing him by surprise.

At the same time, Xia Houchun, who had been fighting steadily in the Weihai Sea, also bypassed Zhili and was on his way overnight. Suddenly, the scouts in front reported back: "Report--General, something happened ahead!"

Xia Houchun took out the binoculars he bought in Qiongjing, jumped up to the tree to look, and there were a few wisps of white smoke on the skyline between them, which were particularly conspicuous under the moonlight.

Xia Houchun judged the direction, and immediately ordered: "Go forward quickly! Quick!"

At this time, Feng Ju gritted his teeth and looked at the chaotic camp, his eyes were red with anger, but Feng Wei, who was disheveled next to him, was not afraid of death and shouted: "What's going on? What's going on? Fengju, you can't rebel! "

Feng Ju glared at Feng Wei viciously, and pressed and pressed the handle of the knife at his waist, only then did he restrain himself from killing this idiot.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Take your troops and attack the city with all your strength. Leave those granaries alone. Everyone avoids the smoke. Listen to my orders and attack the city! Kill!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed forward.

Feng Wei was a little sobered by Feng Ju's stare, and he also realized that the situation was not good. In the face of emergencies, he didn't have any ideas, so he had to listen to Feng Ju.

The outskirts of the capital city were originally controlled by Feng Wei, but now they want to attack the inner city of the imperial city. Duke Zhen has 1 troops, and he can't support it for long.

"Everyone in the imperial city who could move went up the tower, and those advanced weapons that were usually hidden, trebuchets also appeared overnight, and the old town's rich experience, the imperial city could not be taken down for a while, but It will be hard to tell after tonight!"

Listening to the report from the subordinates, Feng Chu bit her cheek tightly and said: "You must hold on, as long as you hold on until Xie Baiyun arrives."

Before I knew it, the moon disappeared, and the sun slowly climbed to the horizon. The people who fought all night were exhausted, but they still didn't see the big green flag of Kunnan. My heart is pulled up.

Suddenly there was a shock from behind, Feng Chu's expression changed, she lost her composure for the first time, and blurted out: "Why is there an army at the back door, this noise is definitely cavalry! Could it be that Feng Ju broke through the old Duke's defense line and detoured to the north gate Is it?"

"But we are all at the south gate, and there is no defense at all at the north gate!" The minister below shouted in despair.

"Is the sky going to kill me!"

"No! Your Highness, no!"

Tangning's eyes had always been good, and her hearing was also good. He listened carefully and felt that this kind of vibration was not something that the limp southern soldiers led by Fengju could step on.This kind of imposing manner transmitted from a distance is more like the unique iron cavalry of the mighty and majestic northern cavalry.

Tangning turned around and climbed up to the top of the tower to look into the distance. He squinted his eyes for a while, then shouted excitedly, "Your Highness, it's the yellow flag, it's the reinforcements from the border guards! We're saved! Hahahaha !"

Tangning couldn't hold back her laughter anymore!

Feng Chu also laughed hahaha!

Lin Qingyu also laughed, and almost everyone laughed out loud. The original exhaustion was swept away, and victory was just around the corner!

In 744 A.D., Emperor Jingle passed away, and passed on the throne to his son Fengchu. Dazhao experienced catastrophe and rebellion, and Fengchu put down the rebellion and ascended the throne.

In 745, the name of the country was changed to Tai'an.

In the first year of Tai'an, the emperor decreed that King Zhong and his son be beheaded.

Since then, more than [-] years of Dazhao period of peace and prosperity have begun.
