Zhao Wengui was the empress of the Song Dynasty, but she never traveled far away. When she was a princess, she never left the palace. After she ascended the throne and sat in the palace, no one cared about her. She only took a boat to walk around the Song Dynasty and ran around.
They are all in subtropical areas, so she naturally yearns for her legendary motherland. Especially when she heard that it was the snowing season, she couldn't help but want to travel.
"Okay, okay, I want to go! I haven't seen what snow looks like before. I have a lot of fur clothes, and I might wear them now." Zhao Wen shouted with joy. After abdicating, she was forced by Liu Ziguang not to wear any more.
If you call yourself me, you can only call yourself "me", or "slave" or "concubine".
"I can take you back, but I have to go incognito. Your title of Emperor of the Song Dynasty has passed, and everyone is uncomfortable. You can't show off after you get home. You have to be humble in everything. You must also know the specific situation. I marry a man in the Marquis' Mansion.
The ladies who have passed through the house are all well-educated and sensible ladies. You must not act rashly when meeting them." Liu Ziguang was really worried about Zhao Wen's temper, so he explained a few more words.
"Don't worry, sir. I will take care of this family and take care of them." Zhao Wen smiled sweetly, hugged Liu Ziguang's arm and shook it. She believed that she had been an emperor, so naturally she would not treat her like an emperor.
Liu Ziguang's wives took him seriously.
"Maybe who cares about whom..." Liu Ziguang thought to himself, but didn't say anything. He just pinched Zhao Wen's butt and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
The new emperor of the Song Dynasty has ascended the throne, and everything is on track. From now on, the emperor can travel around the world as he pleases. Zhao Jing led the royal family to the dock to bid farewell to the emperor and the protector in person. It was a low-key farewell, and neither the court ministers nor the people knew about it. Only Lao Zhao
A group of people in the family, Zhao Jing, her two younger brothers, their father Prince Taiping, and some other princesses and princes, looked at the departing Supreme Emperor. Everyone couldn't help but their eyes turned slightly red. They didn't know.
Who arranged for several pipa girls to play the song of Zhaojun's departure from a distance, making the atmosphere even more sad. However, the heartless Zhao Wen did not have such parting emotions. She said goodbye to her relatives with a smile, and
He said that he would come back to see everyone at any time, but everyone knew that they would not be able to see each other for at least a few years after this separation. The married daughter threw away the water. From now on, Zhao Wen will be the wife of the Liu family. She will live in Nanjing for a few months.
It’s time to raise a baby, and then the prince is born. At least the child must be several years old before he can withstand the bumpy journey and unacclimated conditions. Only then can we all meet again.
Farewell after thousands of miles, the steamer on the voyage sounded its whistle, as if urging the travelers to set off early. Together with the Lord Protector of the Song Dynasty, they finally bid farewell to their relatives and embarked on the journey to their homeland. The navy of the Song Dynasty
Five cruisers escorted the Emperor all the way to the Ming Dynasty's Taiwan waters, and then the Ming Dynasty navy took over the escort task.
As we go north, the temperature becomes colder and colder. It is not obvious when we reach Taiwan, but it becomes colder and colder after passing Zhejiang. In addition, the wind is strong at sea, and the crew members already need to wear leather jackets all the way.
Sailing along the coastline, we could vaguely see the long sea territory of the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Wen saw such a large land for the first time. He couldn't see the end for days and nights. Finally, he understood the thoughts of his ancestors. This motherland is really too big.
It's so big and beautiful that you can't let it go.
The news of Marquis Zhenwu's return to China has been notified to the Ming Dynasty through long-wave radio. When the ship arrived in Ningbo to refuel, Shi Lang, the admiral of the Zhejiang Navy, led his armored warships in a line to pay tribute to the Marquis' ship and honk.
Since the last battle in Taiwan, Shi Lang has regarded himself as a direct descendant of the Marquis of Zhenwu. He always received gifts during the holidays, and Liu Ziguang did not treat him badly. The navy updated its armaments, and Zhejiang received several armored ships as a priority, and also equipped them with weapons.
advanced reconnaissance balloons and artillery.
Liu Ziguang did not delay in Ningbo. He simply met Shi Lang on the boat and set out again. Finally, three months after leaving the country, he returned to the land of Ming Dynasty. The boat docked at Wusong Wharf in Shanghai, where the civil and military personnel of the Shanghai Dao Yamen, Navy and Guards Office
The officials all went to the pier to greet him, with red flags waving and gongs and drums noisy. The officials wore fur coats and stood on the side of the trestle to wait for the Marquis. The officers and soldiers of the Shanghai Guard, led by the commander Li Peng, formed an honor guard of 500 people to wait for the Marquis.
For the review, Liu Ziguang specially sent a telegram to Ma Shiying to organize this ceremony. The purpose was not to wrong Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen's coming to the Ming Dynasty was not an open matter. It was impossible to hold a large-scale welcome in Nanjing at the foot of the emperor, so we had to
Hold a welcome ceremony in Shanghai, your own sphere of influence, so that Zhao Wen can see the grandeur of the Ming Dynasty.
The winter in Shanghai was very cold. Zhao Wen was still shivering even though she was wearing a mink coat and Western-style leather boots. Liu Ziguang was afraid that she would catch a cold and affect the health of the child in her belly, so the review ceremony ended hastily and he took Zhao Wen to stay by the Huangpu River.
The mansion was temporarily equipped with several white-copper stoves, and the sandalwood charcoal burned powerfully, for fear of freezing the distinguished guests from the tropics.
The closer I got to home, the deeper I missed him. After a night's rest, Liu Ziguang boarded the special train back to Nanjing. The carriage was closed, and the steam from the locomotive was transmitted through the pipes to the radiator in the carriage. It was as warm as spring through the glass.
You can see the scenery of Jiangnan outside the car window. Although it is late winter, the leaves and grass in the south are still green, and ice is still hanging on the green leaves. The farmhouses and fields are completely different from the tropical scenery, but they are like those collected in the Song Dynasty Palace.
Those ancient paintings depict almost the same thing. Zhao Wen wears a blue fox scarf and holds a gold-inlaid hand stove. She lies by the window and looks at it non-stop. The hot breath from her mouth makes the glass foggy from time to time. This also makes Zhao Wen
Wen felt very happy and stretched out her little hand to draw flowers on the glass. She seemed to be happy. From time to time, she would ask Liu Ziguang: "Why haven't you seen the snow yet?" Liu Ziguang was helpless. Jiangnan was already a cold place in Zhao Wen's eyes.
It is freezing in the north, but in the eyes of most people in the Ming Dynasty, this is just the warm south. Even if it snows, it is apricot snow that melts on the ground.
The train traveled for a day and finally arrived at Nanjing Station. Different from Shanghai, only a group of people from Nanchang and Hou Yefu were picked up this time. The scale was much smaller. This was also specially arranged by Liu Ziguang. On the one hand, it was to create a
He maintains a low-key image. On the one hand, he doesn't want the news of Zhao Wen's arrival to be revealed. You must know that the eyes of these people in Beijing are poisonous. He doesn't want to investigate Liu Ziguang when he brings a beautiful woman. This is something he doesn't want to see.
Arrived.
After returning to Beijing this time, Liu Ziguang did not go to see Zeng Cheng first, nor did he go to see the emperor. Instead, he took Zhao Wen back to the Marquis's Mansion. When he entered the mansion, he found that it was deserted. There was no relative except for the servants. Liu Ziguang took Zhao Wen back to the palace.
The housekeeper Liu Fu called to inquire, only to find out that the eldest wife Peng Jingrong was busy all day long and could not go home. Liu Maotai and Peng Jingwei had moved to Hongshan. Li Xiangjun was afraid of being lonely alone, so he also moved to Hongshan to follow Liu Maotai and the others.
Went there. There was not even a master in this huge Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Wen didn't care that there was no one to greet her at home. Instead, she liked the feeling of emptiness. With a wave of her hand, more than a hundred palace maids and eunuchs brought from the Song Dynasty filed in with their royal equipment and luggage, as if they wanted to occupy the entire Marquis.
Fortunately, Liu Ziguang's mansion was left by the former admiral of Dongchang. It covers an extremely large area and has countless houses. It is more than enough to accommodate these new tenants. Liu Ziguang waved to Liu Fu, who was confused, and asked him to arrange accommodation for everyone, and then
He said to Zhao Wen: "I'm tired from the journey, so it's best to rest early. I'll go into the palace to meet the saint and handle some official business. I may come back later, so you don't have to wait for me."
Zhao Wen waved her hand impatiently: "Let's go, don't worry, I can take care of myself." After saying that, he began to give instructions in a serious manner, and he was unambiguous about the original servants of the Marquis Mansion. He scolded this one and accused that one from time to time.
In terms of the style of the hostess, Zhao Wen is the least clingy among Liu Ziguang's wives, and has the most independent personality. Who has ever been an emperor?
Liu Ziguang saw that Zhao Wen's court lady was already arguing with Liu Fu in the Mandarin of the Song Dynasty, and he knew that from today on, there would be less trouble in the family. He sighed and said in his heart, let them go, as long as they don't
Just dismantle the Marquis Mansion. He shook his head and said goodbye to Zhao Wen before going out.
Liu Ziguang said he was going to the palace to meet the saint, but actually he went to see Zeng Cheng, whom he was most worried about. He came to the alley where Zeng Cheng lived, and changed his clothes in the secret stronghold of Nanchang at the entrance of the alley, and then walked gently into the alley.
, I haven’t been here for a few months, and the alley has changed into a new look. Spring couplets are posted on the door of every house, creating a festive atmosphere for the New Year. More than a dozen children are running and playing in the alley, all wearing brand new cotton-padded jackets.
Take a closer look, every child is as beautiful as a doll in a New Year picture, with pink and tender facial features. They are definitely the most handsome children in a hundred. Liu Ziguang was stunned for a moment and then understood, this must be the arrangement of the palace, so that these beautiful children
The doll hangs around in front of the eldest princess all day long, because the old people say that the child will resemble whoever a pregnant woman watches too much.
There are not only many beautiful dolls in the alley, but also many older women. You don’t need to ask, they are all stable women arranged by the palace. As for the imperial doctor, they have already stationed in the alley, and everyone has only one purpose.
That is, the eldest princess can give birth to the child safely.
Liu Ziguang patted the heads of these beautiful dolls with a smile, lifted the robe over his shoulders, and walked to the door of his small yard. A couplet was pasted on the door frame: "Spring is always there in Xiangyang family, and people who have accumulated good deeds will have more than enough to celebrate." Black
Two New Year pictures of a fat baby holding a big carp were pasted on the lacquered door. When he looked up, the couplet banner on the door was three gold characters with a red background, which read "more than every year". Liu Ziguang composed himself and knocked on the door gently: "Madam, I'm back."
