Under the noon sun, at the same time that Wanyan Qingjue and others were heading to the palace, a motorcade and horse teams were gathering in a small square on the side of the imperial city.
The palace servants carried various boxes to the square, and the concubines in the harem followed with anxious expressions. Some boxes were smashed on the ground during the move, and the various items inside were dumped out. The concubines looked anxious.
He shouted from the side with a look on his face, and even started to beat and scold the palace people.
Everything is as lively as a vegetable market.
Zhou Pei came out accompanied by the guards, her temperament was indifferent but dignified, and the nearby palace servants and concubines subconsciously avoided her eyes.
She walked all the way across the square and looked at the busy scene around her. The door to the palace was closed in front. She walked towards the stairway leading to the top of the city wall on one side, and the guards around her quickly blocked her way.
"Your Highness, please don't go to the top."
"Try blocking me!"
"Danger from above."
"What's the danger? Are the Jurchens coming?" Zhou Pei's eyebrows seemed to be full of blood, "I want to watch them come!"
"Please, Your Highness, please don't make it difficult for me to do something small."
Zhou Pei and the guards were facing each other at the entrance of the stairs. People in the square glanced at him secretly from the corner of their eyes. When Zhou Pei glanced sadly towards the back, they all avoided those glances.
A gentle breeze was swaying on the parasol trees in the palace nearby. Zhou Pei's eyes swept over the fleeing scenery. She was not in Bianliang during the Jingping shame many years ago. The subsequent search for mountains and seas was more like
She had no choice but to flee after the war, and it was only at this moment that she suddenly understood what it meant to have 140,000 people disarmed, and not one of them was a man.
The sky was still warm, and Zhou Yong, wearing a loose robe, strode towards the square here. He had seemed thin and calm earlier, but now he seemed to be a little more alive. When people around him knelt down, he exerted force as he walked.
Waving his hands: "I'm flat, please move quickly, move quickly, and you don't need to carry any useless things."
There was chaos in the palace. Many people had not expected the drastic changes on this day. The ministers in the Jinluan Palace in front were still quarreling. Some people knelt down and begged Zhou Yong not to leave, but these ministers were all sent by Zhou Yong.
Blocked out - the two sides had been having troubles before, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about now.
Zhou Yong, the concubine in the palace, did not pay attention to her. He indulged in excessive sexual activities in his early years and had nothing to do after he ascended the throne. The concubines were nothing more than playthings to him. All the way across the square, he walked towards his daughter, with a breathless expression on his face.
She was blushing a little, but she was also a little embarrassed at the same time.
"Oh, daughter..." He thought for a moment, "Father, what I said before was too serious, but now, there is nothing we can do. There are some young people making trouble in the city. I know it has nothing to do with you, but... the Jurchen envoys have already entered the city.
"
Zhou Pei looked at him coldly.
"In addition, the thieves and Wushu cavalry have already camped over and want to put pressure on us. Qin Qing is right. Let's go first and stay on the Qiantang Navy's ship. As long as they can't catch me, they will do nothing.
No, if the Wu Dynasty cannot be destroyed, they will have to talk!"
At this moment, Zhou Yong was quite proud of his response. When the Jurchen envoys came to the palace, they would definitely be shocked. No matter how fierce and powerful you are, I will leave first and I will bear with you. You are a big lion.
If you ask, I won't agree... The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Zhou Pei looked at him for a moment, his voice was hoarse and he said word by word: "Father, you are gone, the Jurchens cannot destroy the Wu Dynasty, but what about the people in the city? What about the people in the Central Plains? They can't destroy it.
The Wu Dynasty once again searched the mountains and seas, how can the people of the world survive!?"
Zhou Yong was stunned for a moment. Zhou Pei stepped forward, took Zhou Yong's hand, and walked up the stairs: "Dad, come up with me! It's on the other side of the palace wall. Come up with me and take a look.
On the other side, those hundreds of thousands of people, they are your people - if you leave, they will..."
Zhou Yong waved his hand away like fire, and took a step back the next moment: "I told you, what can I do! Can I save them by staying here? I will be sold with them! The Ni named Ning
The thief also said that people must save themselves!!!"
He shouted these words loudly, and Zhou Pei's eyes widened in anger. Zhou Yong could only hear Zhou Yong saying: "I am also trying to save myself. I am like this because I can't beat you from the front. I am a strong man who cuts off his wrist... Time is running out, you give me
I will get into the car, and you and I will get on the boat first. The officials and the things in the palace can take their time. Even if the Jurchens come and I get on the boat, they can only look at the ocean and sigh!"
As he spoke, he pointed to a carriage not far away and asked Zhou Pei to go over. Zhou Pei shook his head, and Zhou Yong waved to a nearby female official to come over. He lifted Zhou Pei into the carriage, and Zhou Pei was pushed in a daze.
It wasn't until she was about to enter the carriage that she suddenly started struggling: "Let me go! Who dares to touch me!"
The female officials were startled and drew back their hands. Zhou Pei ran toward the palace gate. Zhou Yong shouted: "Stop her! Stop her!" The nearby female officials came closer again, and Zhou Yong also strode over: "You
Let me in!"
"You go! I'll stay! Father, if you want to leave, just leave. Leave me to take charge in the capital."
"I won't let you stay! I won't let you stay!" Zhou Yong stamped his feet, "Daughter, please stop making trouble!"
Zhou Pei and the female official got into a fight.
It is rare for people in the palace to see such a scene. Even if she is wronged in the palace, the strong-tempered concubine will not do such shameless and futile things. But now, Zhou Pei finally couldn't restrain himself from doing this.
In such a mood, she waved her hand and knocked the female officers next to her to the ground. Then several female officers nearby were slapped or torn apart by her, with blood stains on their faces, and they were in a state of embarrassment. The female officers did not dare to resist, so they just stood there.
Amidst the roar of the emperor, Zhou Pei was pushed and pulled towards the carriage. In the midst of this tug and tear, Zhou Pei pulled up the hairpin on his head and suddenly inserted it into the neck of a female official in front!
The sun shone down vertically, and blood burst out in all directions on the square, spraying Zhou Pei and the surrounding female officials all over their heads and faces. People screamed, Zhou Pei's long hair was disheveled, he was slightly stunned, and then he waved the blood-red hairpin:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Catch her and take her hairpin!" Zhou Yong shouted, and a nearby female official who was skilled in martial arts rushed up and snatched Zhou Pei's hairpin away. The female officials around them gathered again, and Zhou Yong also rushed over and grabbed a handful of her hairpin.
He picked up Zhou Pei's waist and pushed her into the carriage made of steel: "Lock her up! Lock her up!"
Zhou Pei's tears had already welled up. She climbed up from the carriage and was about to rush forward again. The two car doors slammed shut. Zhou Pei bumped into the door and heard Zhou Yong shouting outside: "It's okay, it's okay."
Yes, this is to protect you..."
"Hunjun——"
"do not talk……"
"Everyone in the world will look down on you and our Zhou family... Dad, you are no different from Zhou Zhe -"
Her body hit the car door. Zhou Yong slapped the car wall and walked forward: "It's okay, it's okay, it's done, it's done...Daughter, I can't be taken away like this, I want to give you and Jun Wu
Time, I want to give you a way out, let me bear these infamy, it will be fine in the future, you will understand sooner or later, sooner or later you will understand..."
His muttering to himself continued for a long time, and he also got on the carriage. Various things were being loaded and unloaded in the square. After a while, he finally opened the palace door and walked through the long street toward the south.
Pass the city gate.
In the dim iron carriage, Zhou Pei felt the movement of the carriage. She was covered in the smell of blood, and a long strip of light came through the crack of the door in front. The carriage was driving through the streets of Lin'an that she was familiar with. She patted
For a while, he started banging on the door again, but to no avail.
As the car was driving, there was a faint chaotic sound in front of it. It seemed that a crowd was coming up and blocking the way of the motorcade. After a while, the chaotic sound became louder, and it seemed that someone was attacking the motorcade. There was a gap in the car door ahead.
A figure came over, curled up, and seemed to be being protected by the Forbidden Army. It was his father Zhou Yong.
He said over there: "It's okay, it's okay, they are all clowns, it's okay..."
After a while, the chaos outside was resolved, and the people who came to block Zhou Yong or to rescue her were cleared away. The convoy started driving again, and then it was smooth sailing all the way to the Qiantang River dock outside the city.
When the proud Wanyan Qingjue arrived at the palace, Zhou Yong had already boarded the boat at the dock outside the city. This was probably the only surprise for him along the way.
Nine years ago, during the inspection of mountains and seas, Zhou Yong had people build a huge dragon ship in order to live a stable life at sea. Even if it was floating on the sea, the ship was as calm as if it were living on land. Nine years later, the ship was used again.
Take it out.
After boarding the ship, Zhou Yong sent someone to release her from the carriage and arranged a place for her to live and servants to serve her. Perhaps because of guilt, Zhou Yong did not appear in front of her again that afternoon.
The huge fleet of dragon boats was parked on the Qiantang River, and various things were shipped one after another throughout the afternoon. Zhou Pei was locked in a room, and he did not see anything on April 28th or 29th.
After going out, she sat in the room in a daze, unable to close her eyes. It was not until late at night on the 29th that Zhou Pei, who had finally slept for a while, was awakened by the sound of movement. Some unknown changes had occurred in the fleet.
There was a huge collision.
Rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, and Zhou Yong, dressed in white, rushed in. Seeing that she was sleeping with her clothes on, he came over with a look of sadness and indignation, and pulled her up and walked outside.
Zhou Pei followed him out without saying a word, and gradually reached the deck of the dragon boat outside. Zhou Yong pointed to the movement on the river not far away and showed her that they were several warships that were already fighting, and the flames were burning.
The sound of cannonballs rang out across the night, and light splashed everywhere.
"Look! Look! That's your person! That must be your person! I am the emperor and you are the princess! I believe in you and you have the authority of the princess palace! You can't kill me now!" Zhou
Yong's words were filled with sorrow and anger, and he pointed to Lin'an City on the other side. There was also a faint light of chaos in the city, "Traitors! They are all traitors! They will not end well! Your people also broke the rudder of my ship.
!Fortunately, we were discovered in time. They are all your people. They must be, you are rebelling——"
Zhou Pei's eyes filled with tears and fell involuntarily. She naturally understood in her heart that her father had been frightened. He was frightened by someone destroying the rudder and thought he could no longer escape.
At this moment, the mountains in the distance were dark, the water near was sparkling, and the fire on the city reflected the sky. Zhou Pei understood that this was the fight between various factions in the city, including the warships fighting on the river. They were all desperate fighting factions.
The final blow was made. There must have been the efforts of Li Ping, Cheng Zhouhai and others, but the previous princess palace had never made preparations to resist Zhou Yong. Even with Cheng Zhouhai's ability, under such circumstances, it would probably be difficult.
As expected, the Chinese Army may have been involved in this, but for a long time, the Princess Mansion has been suppressing the Chinese Army, and their efforts have finally been of no avail.
The flames in the night sky were like the ashes of a huge palace burning and disintegrating on the dark sea.
The fleet stayed on the Qiantang River for several days. Excellent craftsmen repaired the minor damage to the ship. After that, officials and gentry came one after another with their families to carry various treasures, but Prince Junwu never refused.
Come here, Zhou Pei no longer hears those news while under house arrest.
Until the fifth day of May, the fleet set sail, carrying the small court and its dependent people, and sailed through the mouth of the Qiantang River. Zhou Pei looked out from the gap in the sealed window, free seabirds.
It is flying from sight.
She grabbed the iron window lattice and cried. The saddest cry was without any sound. At this moment, the Wu Dynasty existed in name only. They sailed towards the sea. Her brother, the most brave prince Junwu, and even the whole world
The common people of the Wu Dynasty were left in the flaming hell again...
