But Zhao Guan's family had no intention of returning to Tokyo yet. Wu Yu felt the biggest shock in her life, a joyous event that she would never forget.
That day seemed so ordinary when I think of it. The imperial concubine got up early, looked in the makeup mirror and had the maids do a simple dressing up, put on pearls, and then prepared to pay her respects to the queen mothers.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the gate of his palace, he heard the city of Tokyo rejoicing as if it was being shaken. Such noise made Wu Yu, a person who had experienced the war, become instinctively sensitive and even very uncomfortable.
She originally wanted to ask someone to find out what was going on, but suddenly she thought of her two sons. She suddenly felt unreasonable panic. Maybe this was her mother's sensitivity, and she ran back to her crazily without caring about the concubine's demeanor.
In the palace, she found that her younger son was still causing trouble there, but her eldest son was nowhere to be found. She grabbed one of the servants in horror and asked: "Where is the eldest prince? Where has he gone? Don't you want to die?"
?”
But with tears in his eyes, the chamberlain said: "Your Majesty, your Royal Highness has gone to Xuande Tower. Commander Zhai personally picked her up. Today, Prince Yang brought the gold thieves into the city, and everyone in the city went to see her.
"
Wu Yu vaguely remembered that when Yang Yizhong came to the palace to report yesterday, he seemed to have said that because it would rain tomorrow, he would force the Jin soldiers to capture the prisoners and enter the city today. However, this was a foreign matter, so she did not ask too much.
It was supposed to be a show of military power on the mountain.
But what she didn't expect was that Zhao Song officials had issued an order that tens of thousands of Jin prisoners would be escorted by the imperial camp soldiers from Xincaomen, where three thousand royal family members and countless civilians were escorted out, through the entire imperial street.
Walking across the Zhouqiao Bridge, let the people of Tokyo really know what "Jingkang is a shame, it's snowing today."
The chamberlain was still crying, "These stupid thieves are still here today. Oh my, my wife was only ten years old back then. They killed not a single person in the family. The officials have avenged me, and I must do well."
Serve the steward, and serve the official for the rest of your life."
However, Concubine Wu no longer cared about what he said, or even the specific location of her son. At that moment, she lost all her ladylike posture and noble concubine's posture, and ran around the palace as she did when she was 14 years old.
She walked through the palace, passed through the Imperial Instrument Gate, Jiying Hall, and even Chongwenyuan, which theoretically belonged to the outer dynasty. Countless petty officials who came out to watch the excitement were unable to get out of their way to salute. Finally, she ran away for who knows how long. Regardless of the obstruction of the people around her,
Climb the towering Xuande Tower.
At this time, all the prisoners in the city had entered the city. The city of Tokyo seemed to be in a carnival. Concubine Wu climbed up and looked into the distance. The high ground on the streets on both sides had been occupied. Some people were looking at the shirtless Jurchen prisoners.
Throwing stones and debris, some people threw coins, jewelry and even chickens and ducks at the imperial soldiers... But everyone seemed to be crazy, crying and laughing, and the children on the street were jumping around without any traces.
I don’t know why my elders are like this.
Wu Yu just looked at it blankly. As the harem of Zhao Guan's family, it was the best for the royal family to allow her to go to Xuande Tower. He could not vent his emotions on the street like ordinary people or even wealthy people.
Emotions. But Wu Yu didn't know why. He had suppressed his emotions for ten years, but could not find a valve to open. At this moment, he heard another noise coming from nearby. It turned out that Concubine Pan Xian had arrived.
She was wearing long-sleeved clothes, with pearls all over her head. She grabbed the fence, looked far into the distance, and said: "We won, we won. The Jin people can never fight again, A Wu, my child, my
The child died because of them. My poor son."
Wu Yu knew that she was talking about the emperor who was scared to death in Yangzhou. Originally, with the birth of the two princes, he had gradually become a historical term and was forgotten by most people. But it turned out that in his mother's mind
.That child will always be a scar that cannot be healed. Every touch will cause heartbreaking pain.
Wu Yu, who is also a mother, said: "Yes, the Northern Expedition is a success, the official family will be victorious, and everyone in the world and everyone in heaven will be happy. Never again, never again..." At this point, I was still barely there.
After persuading Concubine Pan Xian, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
For Empress Xing who had treated her well, for the panic and fear during the Jingkang Disgrace, for the relatives and friends who did not see this day, for the Central Plains where corpses were littered and the people of the Song Dynasty who were half-clothed.
, why can't she cry for the ten years of hard work and efforts in the Song Dynasty?
So, surrounded by the maids who also had tearful eyes, the two most noble concubines in the harem hugged each other and cried like sisters they had not seen for ten years.
This crying seemed to let out all the heartache and grievances. The sky was dark and the earth was dark. It was like the heavy rain pouring on the entire north had come in advance.
It is said in history: Emperor Shizu defeated the Jinlu, and ordered the prisoners to be escorted to the Royal Street in Yizhong. The soldiers and the people were all rejoicing, and the whole family looked at it with great disbelief, and later painted "Tokyo Boiling Picture".
The carnival lasted until nightfall. All the prisoners were escorted to the mountaintop for custody. The dark night forced everyone to calm down and rest. The mess on the ground started a new life.
I cried, laughed, and felt really at ease, but those who are alive must continue to live, and continue to live for those who cannot survive.
In view of the fact that it was a prisoner entering the city and such a big thing, although it was inconvenient for the three queen mothers in the harem to come forward, they did not blame Pan and Wu for their gaffe. According to some maids, the queen mothers also cried quietly. They just cried in front of their children.
The daughter-in-law, Empress Dowager Zheng, who is the most politically skilled, still ordered: "My concubine, you are the head of the harem, there are still some things that need to be arranged by you."
"I don't know what my mother is talking about, but you can just give me your orders." Wu Yu said respectfully.
Empress Dowager Zheng drank a cup of tea and said: "Now the Qing Dynasty has proclaimed its vassal status to me, the Song Dynasty. It has promised to send back all the children of Bianliang who were robbed back then. Although we all know the suffering in the North, only one out of ten of these people is alive.
It’s not easy, but there are still some maids in the palace. You still have to be responsible for accepting them. If there are some disabled people who don’t want to come back, just give them a settling-in allowance so that they can live a good life. This can also be regarded as a meritorious deed. I will discuss it with my sisters.
It’s passed. I think the officials also agree.”
"The official family has always advocated frugality, so I must agree. The Queen Mother is wise, and I naturally know how to do it." Wu Yu replied respectfully.
Of course Zhao Guan's family will agree. He has never advocated adding more people to the palace. Even if every time a son or daughter is born, each of them chooses three or five people from the family of the head of state, which is the limit. Can he welcome the palace to live in such a person?
For some people, that would be strange.
But this is all for later, after all, sending the population back is not that fast.
