Before Xing Bingru was thirteen years old, she always felt that her life was neither too good nor too bad. Her family was from Kaifeng, a serious family with many clansmen. She was born in the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Yuda was prosperous and prosperous.
Her career was rich and luxurious. More importantly, shortly after she was born, her eldest sister Xing Bingyi was hired as a princess by the ninth son of the official family, King Kang, and was granted the title of Lady of the Kingdom of Jia. Her father, Xing Huan, was also promoted from a small Kaifeng government official to the imperial court.
Qing Lang was extremely honored in the clan for a while.
Both her parents felt that she had brought them blessings and loved her very much. Even the eldest sister did not forget to embroider embroidered shoes for her when she was about to get married.
The next year, my sister got married and became the royal bride.
It's a pity that when she was able to wear those large embroidered shoes to Prince Kang's Mansion to pay her respects to her sister, her formerly gentle and beautiful sister couldn't even force a smile.
Of course, no one could laugh. She was still young at that time, and she only knew that the ferocious Jurchens from the north had arrived outside the capital. Her brother-in-law was ordered to go to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy, leaving his wife and children in the feudal residence. Not only her sister,
Even the two women her mother always called Hu Meizi, Tian Chunluo and Jiang Zuimei, the wives of Prince Kang's Mansion, were wearing plain clothes and light makeup, with sadness written on their faces, but they all advised the princess to take care of herself and the child in her belly.
At this time, Xing Bingru asked: "Sister, there are so many kings in the court, why did you send your brother-in-law there? Is it very dangerous there?"
Xing Bingyi gave a bitter smile and said: "How can a woman dare to comment on matters decided by the official family? Besides, it is a man's job to protect the family and the country. Don't ask any more questions. Didn't I say that dad has decided to take you south? You want to
Be obedient and stop being naughty."
Xing Binngle pouted and said, "I'm not naughty, Jingyou and Foyou are naughty." These are her two nieces, her sister's biological children.
However, this turned out to be the last time the sisters met. Less than a month after the Xing family left, Emperor Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty personally brought his ministers to the Jin camp for "negotiations". However, they were detained as soon as they arrived. Zhao Huan had no choice but to surrender to Jin and beg.
Forgiveness is the ultimate servility.
The Jin people came and demanded 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million bolts of silk. In order to protect himself, Zhao Huan insisted on humiliating himself and gave in, and ordered a large-scale extortion of gold and silver. He even plundered women from all over the city to pay off his debts, but the two saints refused.
He dared to be negligent and even allowed his concubines and palace people to count against him. Countless girls were unwilling to be humiliated and many died.
Ha, this is the man who protects the family and the country as the eldest sister said!
She seemed to have grown up very quickly in this year. Then, bad news came out one after another, including ritual vessels for worshiping the heaven, the Emperor's Dharma, various books and classics, Dachen musical instruments, costumes and props used in various operas, as well as doctors and workshops.
Musicians and various craftsmen actually became "tributes" to the Jin army. Even so, they could not escape the fate of the country being destroyed and the family destroyed.
Even my sister, like a large number of the emperor's relatives, was kidnapped and headed north, and there was no news again.
140,000 people all took off their armor, and not one of them was a man.
However, others have news that King Kang was persuaded to stay in Cizhou, Hebei (now part of Hebei) by his minister Zongze, and was able to avoid being captured by the Jin soldiers. In May of the second year of Jingkang, he was proclaimed emperor in Nanjing (Shangqiu).
During the reign of Yuan Jianyan, her sister, whose life and death she did not know, was named queen from afar.
As the tide rose, all boats rose, and my father was granted the title of Military Envoy of the Qingyuan Army, Duke of Jian. The rest of the family was so happy, except for my mother who shed tears in the room, but did not dare to speak out.
She stayed by her side indifferently, recalling the words recorded in history books by Emperor Taizong's biological mother, Empress Dou, that she hated me for not being a man to save my uncle's family.
It's a pity that the golden men led beasts and cannibals, and the thieves committed all kinds of evil on the way to escape. She could only tremble, and followed closely to escape south, all the way to Yangzhou. At that time, only a large family with nearly a thousand members was left.
There were two to three hundred people.
When I went out, I saw nothing. White bones covered the plain. There was a hungry woman on the road, her arms abandoned among the grass.
But everyone in the world can escape, can you, an emperor, escape? You abandoned Hebei, abandoned Tokyo, and even abandoned Huaibei and ran to Yangzhou.
Come on, with such a father and brother, how could the new official be a solid person? Just thinking of her sister's frown, her heart tightened uncomfortably. She even thought rebelliously, you are not worthy of my eldest sister, no?
My brother-in-law.
But in just a few months, the situation of the world turned around. He recalled Li Gang, appointed Han Shizhong, and did not leave on Bagong Mountain. He gathered his troops to fight the invincible Jin people and walked north, and then continued step by step, along the way.
Went along the Huaihe River to Nanyang, the companion capital.
Later, Xing Binngle read more, and in the early years of Jianyan, he chose a companion with a university education. Although both of them were completely hopeless about the situation in Hebei and had no choice but to give up on most of the Central Plains, they chose the path of hoping to revive from the rear.
But the biggest difference is that Yangzhou is close to the Yangtze River. Once it retreats, it will be a peaceful situation. It is best not to be in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As for Nanyang, you can enter Guanzhong and retreat to Xiangyang. You can also connect with the remaining troops in Guanxi, and
Even Xiangyang is undoubtedly a signal of political rejuvenation. Zhuge Wuhou's "Longzhong Dui" makes it clear that this place is the starting point of reviving the Central Plains!
But Xing Binngle didn't think about her that much at that time. Apart from studying and embroidering, she was worried about her own safety. Yes, it was not safe in Yangzhou. Who would have thought that Li Gang and Li Xianggong, who fought in the red flag, would be left behind.
They were able to force out a rebel force in Jiangning. The city of Yangzhou was full of high-ranking officials and nobles who had fled. They were all in danger. The female relatives who had seen the shame of Jingkang even had sharp hairpins. It was not for some bullshit honor. It was really...
I just don't want to be humiliated.
After all, just seeing it makes me feel so miserable.
But the rebels didn't come, and Yue Fei came, miraculously rescuing the people of the city. Also leaving at the same time was Li Gang. No matter how great a man he was, he couldn't offset the sin of the emperor's heir's death. But he remembered the one in his sister's belly.
Xing Binngle didn't know whether to express pity or indifference to his little nephew, whose gender he didn't know.
Why is it that the life and death of my sister's child is unknown, while if your child dies in infancy, the whole world will be in trouble?
However, the red peony trees beside the Twenty-Four Bridge bloomed and fell every year. Unknowingly, it was already the fifth year of Jianyan.
Snooping, but she was never tired of it.
The family had grown a lot, but she didn't care. Except for her mother, she treated everyone coldly. Her sisters-in-law and aunts naturally didn't speak well to her, but she always fought against them more fiercely. Her father would not do anything to her.
The punishment was just to announce that he would move his family back to Tokyo.
The mother was surprised, "I heard from my relatives that the capital is in a mess now, and the officials are worried about the Second Saint... What are you going to do back at this time?"
The father was impatient and said, "Don't get involved in the affairs of the Tian family. Aren't you always crying about the late queen? Now that Princess Foyou is back, we, as grandparents, are not allowed to visit at this time."
If he hadn't known that Foyou Jianyan had come back three years later, Xing Binle felt that he would have probably believed it. What about the granddaughter? It wasn't because the officials were chasing after the original favor that his father was afraid.
He is the head of the country. As long as his sister is still Queen Xianjie in the Great Song Dynasty Ancestral Temple, she can't capture him. But it's hard to say who the elder brothers are. After all, the official family has used many officials including Liu Guangshi in recent years.
Several heads will tell you that he is not easy to mess with.
However, Xing Binngle felt that there was nothing wrong with this. After all, the heads of Wanyan Loushi and others also told the people of Jin that the emperor of Song was not to be trifled with.
But if you manage in every possible way, you will lose what you should lose. The Xing family arrived in Tokyo in April, and the former residence has long been under military control. As a lesson learned from the past, if you don't come back, the court is busy with peace negotiations and turmoil, so you can only buy a house in a hurry
Living in a small house, his father went to live with his favorite aunt, and Xing Binngle lived with his mother in the same house. In the middle of the night, Binngle heard his mother murmuring, "Eldest sister, my eldest sister. Jingyou, Foyou..."
Except for Foyou, everyone else has become nothing but dust, including those concubines who were once hated. Xing Binngle couldn't hold it back and almost cried. The prosperity of Tokyo outside the window made her extremely disgusted at this moment.
Fortunately, good news came on the next day. Mrs. Xu Jianguo and Mrs. Xing came to the palace to visit the princess.
Listening to his father's endless instructions on how to plead for his brother's recovery, Bingle suppressed the boredom in his eyes and looked down at the small shoes that he had repaired in a hurry a few days ago. Is Foyou's size suitable?
