"You traitor! You traitor! You dare to come back? Take my stick!"
Mrs. Zhao Du was teaching her daughter Zhu Niang how to practice rouge in the inner hall when she heard her husband roaring outside. When she heard the word 'treason', her heart suddenly thumped.
The second brother Zhao is almost six years old this year. He was different from his elder brother Zhao Da when he was born. It is said that the elder brother weighed eight pounds when he was born. When he grew up, he was very good at fists, feet, guns and sticks. He looked like a military commander Miao Zi.
As for him, he was born thin and could not endure hardships. Therefore, when he was almost six years old, he did not start to exercise his muscles and bones. Instead, he really enjoyed reading and writing.
At a young age, he was eager to imitate adult postures, he didn't speak much when he saw anyone, and his personality was a bit wilted and bad.
However, the second brother Zhao, who is only over five years old now, is still not too bad. He was practicing writing in his yard with a branch when he heard a loud shout.
The frightened Brother Zhao just opened his mouth and was about to howl, but he was immediately filled with a mouthful of dirt, and his face was covered with bits and pieces of mud.
Taking a closer look, he saw a pair of huge feet flying in front of his eyes. The owner of the feet was none other than his father, Zhao Hongyin.
Thinking about it, the dirt that flew into his face just now must have been kicked over by Zhao Hongyin.
This is the old home of the Zhao family in Jiamaying, Luoyang. Zhao Kuangyin was born here, so he found a home very smoothly.
Zhao Yanjin's father, Zhao Hui, was in a high position and would not come to Zhao Kuangyin's house, so the three of them divided their tasks. Zhao Hui went to find Li Jianchong, and Zhao Yanjin followed Zhao Kuangyin to find his father.
As a result, Zhao Kuangyin had tears in his eyes. He had just walked into the yard and had not even called out "Dad".
Zhao Hongyin's eyes were red, and he kicked his calf lightly, and a whistle stick flew out. Zhao Hongyin caught the stick in the air, shouted, and swept it towards Zhao Kuangyin's leg.
Angry! Can you not be angry? It turns out that when Zhao Kuangyin left home, Zhao Hongyin refused to let him go to Hexi at all. It was Zhao Kuangyin who jumped out of the window and ran away.
After going to Hexi, Zhang Zhao proclaimed himself the King of Great Liang. Zhao Hongyin was afraid of being implicated, but he kept his tail between his legs and became the gray grandson for several years.
Moreover, after Li Yantao deliberately cut off the communication between Hexi and the Central Plains, he was so frightened that his family tried to move back to Luoyang. The ordeal made Zhao Hongyin furious when he recalled it.
Zhao Da is a filial son, a true filial son, so when he saw his father swinging the stick with hatred, he did not dare to take it, so he could only rush forward regardless of his image.
Then he held his head and ran towards the inner hall. He knew that the only person who could control his father was his mother Du Shi.
However, Zhao Hongyin was determined to beat Zhao Kuangyin, and he predicted it well in advance, and turned around and blocked Zhao Kuangyin's way into the inner hall. Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to hide in the yard.
"Sir, please show me some dignity, I have a distinguished guest coming!"
While he was busy, Zhao Kuangyin pointed at Zhao Yanjin who was watching him being beaten with a smile and said.
Zhao Hongyin had actually seen that there were people there a long time ago, but his anger rushed to the top of his head, so he couldn't care less.
However, after Zhao Kuangyin was knocked lightly and not hard, his anger had already subsided. Seeing that there were guests, he was ready to borrow the donkey to go down the slope.
Who would have thought that Zhao Yanjin chuckled and waved his hands, "Uncle, don't worry about me. A certain family is also named Zhao. We are the same family. I will just find a place to sit down."
Zhao Kuangyin:......
Zhao Yanjin didn't just want to see Zhao Kuangyin's jokes, but he wanted to take this opportunity to see Zhao Hongyin as a person, and he also wanted to see Zhao Kuangyin's status in his father's heart.
However, when he did this, Zhao Hongyin couldn't continue the fight, but he was still a little unable to get off the stage. He held the whistle stick in his hand, thinking about whether to end it with two more blows.
"Zhao Dalang, if you hit me again, your face will bloom today!"
While Zhao Hongyin hesitated, Du rushed out of the house.
When she looked up, she saw Brother Zhao, whose face was covered with mud and his mouth was full of mud. He was about to cry to death. Zhao Daze was beaten so hard that he grinned. Du Shi suddenly burst out like a lioness protecting her cubs!
When Zhao Hongyin saw his wife getting angry, he quickly put down his whistle stick and stood aside.
The reason why her husband is so weak is because after Du gave birth to Brother Zhao, Zhao Hongyin cheated on Brother Zhao's wet nurse, the famous pretty widow Geng.
Although Du later made the decision and officially brought Geng into the family as Zhao Hongyin's concubine, because of this, Zhao Hongyin was impressed by his wife's generosity and felt that he had made mistakes and was sorry for others, so he gradually took the throne of the younger brother in the family.
"Xianghai'er, my son! Why did you come back?" After shouting at her husband, Du put down Zhao Er and ran towards Zhao Da.
Poor Brother Zhao, his mouth was full of mud. Before he could act coquettishly, he was thrown to the ground again, and he cried even louder.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at his mother running over, and tears finally burst out of his eyes. He knelt down in the yard and kowtowed three times to his parents, especially his mother.
"My child is unfilial and calls me an adult. My mother is worried."
In this era, transportation was extremely inconvenient, and it was not convenient for Zhao Kuangyin to contact his family.
After having Xingshang help bring several letters, Xingshang found the Zhao family for the first and second time. Later, Zhao Hongyin moved and could not be found again.
Since Du didn't receive Zhao Kuangyin's letter, she has been waiting at the door every day, asking people to inquire, and found out everything.
Some said that Zhao Kuangyin was caught and executed by the Jin army, some said that he followed the Liang Kingdom in the Western Regions and no news was heard from him, and some said that he offended the Liang King and was imprisoned. This scared the Du family half to death, fearing that he would be taken away someday.
to bad news.
When he saw Zhao Kuangyin coming back with his beard and tail intact, he was much taller and stronger. He was so happy that he hugged Zhao Da's head and cried all the time.
After Du Shi almost cried and helped herself up with Zhao Hongyin, Zhao Kuangyin introduced Zhao Yanjin to his parents, and he was very direct and did not hide anything.
"Sir, mother, this is Zhao Yanei, the envoy of the Shaanxi Province Baoyi Army."
Du Shi was fine. When Zhao Hongyin heard about it, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and quickly ran to the door to close it. Then he nervously invited Zhao Yanjin into the house.
What to say about Zhao Kuangyin's family? For example, his father Zhao Hongyin was said in the history of the Song Dynasty to have contributed to the rescue of Emperor Zhuangzong of the Tang Dynasty, was responsible for managing the imperial army, and defeated Wang Jingchong. He had a little involvement, but he was a member of the crowd and was not a major figure.
The so-called management of the Forbidden Army is probably not much different from Lin Chong's gimmick of being the instructor of the 800,000 Forbidden Army.
Zhao Hongyin's official career was actually not smooth. From a lot of introductions, it is estimated that only the one about being proficient in bow and horse is true, otherwise he would not be able to teach a strong man with strong martial arts skills like Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Hongyin's status at this time, in terms of future generations, was that someone in his family had made a revolution, and he could barely be regarded as the third generation of a military general, and his rank was almost at the level of a deputy regiment.
At this level, I can’t say how high an official is, but it’s okay, but I definitely won’t have access to too much information.
Even Zhao Hongyin was not sure whether Yelu Deguang came from Kaifeng, let alone Zhang Zhao had arrived in Shaanzhou.
But one thing Zhao Hongyin knew was that Zhang Zhao was elected as King Yong and took the oath of loyalty in Guanzhong, because the petition against the captives had spread throughout Luoyang, Tokyo.
But now, his son, who had run away with King Yong a long time ago, suddenly came back and brought the yamen of the Shaanzhou Baoyi Army home, so there was only one possibility.
Zhao Hongyin asked in a trembling voice: "Has King Yong already entered Shaanzhou?"
Zhao Kuangyin nodded heavily, "His Royal Highness King Yong has not only entered Shaanzhou, but also Hezhong Prefecture and other places, all of which were waiting for the wind.
Your Majesty, one hundred thousand troops will march forward by land and water, destroy the northern barbarians, and establish a great dynasty. It is just around the corner."
Zhao Hongyin felt that breathing was extremely laborious. He was a man of great martial arts and could lead troops, but there was one thing he lacked in courage. He did not have the aura of the tooth soldier who had a big scar on his head.
.
"Does Dalang really think that King Yong is the lord of the world? Neither the Lord of Khitan nor the King of Beiping in Hebei can compare with him?"
Speaking of Zhang Zhao, Zhao Kuangyin showed a touch of pride on his face.
"Of course! Yelu Deguang, the Lord of the Liao Dynasty, stole the artifacts and brutally harmed the people. He is a barbarian! How can he be the emperor of the Central Plains?
Liu Zhiyuan from Hedong Province was not even accepted by the Datong Army in the past. He was an accomplice of Shi's traitorous pursuit of glory. He commanded 30,000 troops, but he did not dare to advocate for righteousness. He only acted like a fly and a dog, which is not like a human king!
On the other hand, King Yong, after his loyalty to the great dynasty and before his return to the east, had already acquired the land of Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang, Anxi, and Beiting. He was also recommended by the tribes of the grassland to take the title of Yili Khan of the Great Brightness of the Eight Wastelands and Liuhe.
It is God who governs five million people, raises two hundred thousand healthy children, and makes all the heroes of the world follow him."
Zhao Hongyin nodded slowly, knowing his son Mo Ruofu. As his eldest son, he has been extremely independent since he was a child, and none of his fellow teenagers would disobey him.
When he grew up, he had few opponents for his whistle stick and had many insights when talking about current affairs. Even Zhao Hongyin felt in his heart that his abilities were far inferior to his son's.
However, the sentence that left Zhao Hongyin no choice was this sentence.
Seeing that Zhao Hongyin was not resolute, Zhao Kuangyin said to him directly: "Everyone in the world knows that a certain Zhao Kuangyin followed Murong Baipao to Hexi and took refuge with King Yong.
Today, Yong and Liao are fighting. Do you think that when the Lord of Liao comes to Luoyang, you can spare your life, a Han general who holds military power but whose son is serving King Yong?"
Zhao Hongyin was immediately stunned, yes! He still had a choice!
The first thing the Khitan lord will do when he comes is probably to cut down his whole family. If all the corpses are found, the Khitan people must be merciful.
"You are a traitor! You are a traitor!" Zhao Hongyin groaned angrily.
However, Mrs. Du was very clear-headed. She said to Zhao Hongyin: "Why are you talking about this at this time? Let Mr. Geng take Zhu Niang to the streets to buy more meat and prepare a banquet.
Then gather all your brothers and confidants. If you are willing to do it, let your family members leave the city first, and then we can work together to become rich."
Zhao Yanjin on the side suddenly felt a little bored. He didn't do anything, and Ximen won it.
....
At the same time, Li Jianchong, the military envoy of Heyang Army, arrived at his residence.
Li Jianchong was just not good at strategy, but he was not a fool. As soon as he saw Zhao Hui coming to the door in person after the Baoyi Army troops had left behind, he immediately understood what was going on.
Zhao Hui was also afraid that his old comrade would not understand the situation clearly, so he directly handed Li Congyi's autographed letter to Li Jianchong. After Li Jianchong read it, he burst into tears.
"How did King Yong treat King Xu? Emperor Mingmiao only had this one heir. Queen Xu's mother and son disappeared years ago, and a certain family was so regretful that they wanted to kill themselves."
What Li Jianchong was talking about was when He Ning took away Li Congyi, mother and son. Li Jianchong was not in the city at that time. After hearing that Li Congyi was missing, he went around to investigate. He deeply hated his inability to save the bloodline of Li Siyuan, who had the kindness to meet him.
"Prince Yong treated Prince Xu as if he were his own son, and continued the bloodline of Emperor Mingmiao. He specifically ordered Prince Xu not to change his surname, but to become the Duke of Taiyuan, and to share his blood with the twenty-four emperors of the dynasty.
The three deities of Zhuang Temple, Ming Temple and Emperor Min were even able to occupy the temple of the Emperor of the Great Dynasty."
When Li Jianchong heard what Zhao Hui said, he showed a happy smile on his face, "King Yong is so generous, so is the true master! I have long wanted to expel the northern captives. Since Brother Chongguang has surrendered to the destiny, I am also willing to follow King Yong to prosper the country."
