Chapter 340: The sun is shining brightly; playing with dragons and phoenixes
Yue Fei heard the holy words and was puzzled. His original intention was to admonish Zhao Guan's family not to take advantage of sex, and not to favor Cao, the beauty whom Emperor Xia Li Qianshun donated to beg for peace. How could he be taught by Zhao Guan's family in public? What about Dun?
Zhao Ji added: "I have such a big heart, how can I tolerate Pengju to be so upright?"
"However, what I am worried about is that my descendants may not have my mind!"
"Pengju must remember not to influence the emperor's actions with what you think is the correct personal will!"
"Otherwise, you will harm yourself!"
Yue Fei said straightforwardly: "Even though I am six feet tall, I still want to advise the emperor and follow the righteousness..."
Zhao Ji interrupted Yue Fei's words and said leisurely:
"Pengju, you should listen to my good advice. It will be great for you and the country!"
The reason why he reminded him like this was to prevent the unjust death of Yue Fei from Fengbo Pavilion in this world...
Zhao Ji knew very clearly: Yue Fei in history often offended Song Gaozong...
In February of the seventh year of Shaoxing (AD 1137), Yue Fei obeyed the imperial edict and went to the court to see...
Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, became furious because Liu Guangshi changed defenses and avoided fighting in the Battle of Huaishang...
He promised Yue Fei that he would allocate more than 50,000 troops from Wang De and Li Qiong's tribes under Liu Guangshi to belong to Yue Fei's tribe...
Yue Fei was overjoyed when he saw that his army was about to expand, and that there was hope for recovering the Central Plains...
However, at this time, Zhang Jun and Qin Hui, who had been promoted to Privy Council, blocked the situation and made remonstrances to Song Emperor Zhao Gou...
Zhao Gou followed the advice of Zhang Jun and Qin Hui, ignored the "previous discussion", and no longer transferred some of Liu Guangshi's troops to Yue Fei.
He issued another edict and said to Yue Fei: "The joint army in Huaixi has quite twists and turns."
The upright Yue Fei, filled with resentment, petitioned to be dismissed from his military post. Without waiting for instructions, he only briefly explained the military affairs to Huang Zong, the accompanying secret officer, and then immediately left Jiankang, where he was stationed, and returned to Lushan. Therefore, the mother's tomb was guarded.
When Zhao Gou heard that Yue Fei had resigned, he was extremely horrified and immediately ordered the Ezhou military camp generals Li Ruoxu and Wang Gui to rush to Lushan and urge Yue Fei to return to the army.
Li Ruoxu tried hard to persuade Yue Fei for six days, and then Yue Fei agreed to accept the imperial edict to appear in court and return to the army to resume his duties...
In fact, Yue Fei left the military camp to protect his mother without the permission of the court. At that time, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty was secretly afraid...
In the eyes of Gaozong: Yue Fei, you have made many military exploits against the Jin Dynasty and regained a lot of lost ground. You know that I can't do it without you, so you are arrogant?! You blackmailed me with the extreme method of leaving your post without permission?! After that, you Will Yue Fei do something more extreme? Will you, Yue Fei, do what Miao and Liu Bing advised you to do in the future...
In the same year, between September and October of the seventh year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei received intelligence several times: the Jin Kingdom wanted to release the crown prince Zhao Chen of Song Qinzong...
The issue of the inheritance of the throne of the Song Dynasty was a major state matter, and Yue Fei was very worried about it. When he entered the imperial court, he publicly proposed to Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, that his adopted son Zhao Yuan should be made the crown prince.
(Zhao Yuan was the later Song Xiaozong Zhao Hao; his first name was Zhao Bocong, the seventh grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. He was renamed Zhao Yuan, Zhao Wei, Zhao Yu, and Zhao Hao by Zhao Gou in the thirty years.)
At that time, Gaozong Zhao Gou was only thirty years old!
Although his only biological son, Zhao Min, died at the age of two, and he had never been able to get any of his concubines pregnant, he was fascinated by the confident belief that he could still do it...
(In fact, Zhao Gouzhi has been sterile for life since his only biological prince, Zhao Min, died in infancy. The reason for his infertility is probably that he was frightened when the Jin army searched the mountains and seas to capture Zhao Gouzhi.
His infertility may also be due to the fact that he was frightened during the Miao and Liu rebellions.)
When Yue Fei came to publicize the matter of establishing the crown prince, Gaozong Zhao Gou was only thirty years old at that time!
Zhao Gou believes that he is still very young, and after a period of treatment and conditioning, he can restore male fertility!
Zhao Gou was very dissatisfied with Yue Fei's proposal to expose the "scars" in his heart in public, and scolded Yue Fei on the spot...
Since ancient times, the vast majority of emperors have been very disgusted and hated the fact that the ministers of the court were involved in deposing and establishing the crown prince that was against the holy will, let alone the generals with military power who dared to discuss the matter of the crown prince.
In addition, in history, the loyal, brave and upright Yue Fei offended Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou the most:
Zhao Gou and Qin Hui were determined to seek peace, but Yue Fei was a tough anti-gold war faction. He always preached: "Recover the Central Plains and welcome back the Two Saints..."
Therefore, during the peace negotiations between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Yue Fei was ordered to command the class by twelve "gold-character plaques", and was falsely accused by Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others and imprisoned...
On December 29, the eleventh year of Shaoxing (i.e. January 27, 1142 AD), Wan Qixi and others submitted a memorial through Qin Hui, proposing that Yue Fei be beheaded, Zhang Xian be hanged, and Yue Yun be sentenced to imprisonment.
Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, approved on the same day: "Yue Fei is specially granted death! Zhang Xian and Yue Yun also implemented the military law and ordered Yang Yizhong to supervise the execution, but sent many soldiers to protect him."
Yue Fei was tortured by "pull-thrust" (severely said to be drinking poison) and was killed in the prison of Dali Temple at the age of thirty-nine. Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were beheaded.
Yue Fei's confession contained only eight final words:
"The sky is clear, the sky is clear!"
…………
Zhao Ji looked at the upright Yue Fei in front of him, and then thought about his loyal and tragic experience in history, which made people sigh and sigh.
Seeing that Yue Fei still insisted on his own opinion, Zhao Ji did not persuade him to change his behavior.
If a person's character has been shaped, it is difficult to change.
Of course, Yue Fei, who has an upright personality, always puts national justice and state affairs first. He does not care about personal gains and losses, but for the sake of public justice, he dares to offend the emperor, making him worthy of the four words "loyalty and loyalty to the country"!
"well!"
"Pengju, step back!" Zhao Ji waved his hand and said:
"Pengju returned to the military camp and took a short rest."
"Later, I will convene a meeting with the generals to discuss how to conquer the Xia Kingdom's capital city with the Fuzhou Vanguard Army!"
"The humble minister Yue Fei obeys the order..."
When Yue Fei said goodbye to Zhao Guan's family, he was still thinking: Soon, I will meet with the Privy Councilor Zong Ze, and together with him, I will once again advise Zhao Guan's family. In order to protect the reputation of the Emperor of Song Dynasty, he must not accept the gifts from Emperor Xia Li Qianshun. That beauty Cao...
After Yue Fei said goodbye, he mounted his horse and rode away...
Zhao Ji looked at his back and could not help but let out a long sigh.
As a time traveler, he loved Yue Fei even more than his sons who were picked up for free.
However, Yue Fei's loyal and upright character that dared to resist really made Zhao Ji feel a little depressed.
However, when Zhao Ji thought that if Yue Fei could be reused as the commander of the army, he would definitely play a major role in the future battle against Jin, he finally exhaled all the suffocating breath in his chest.
…
In the autumn afternoon, the golden crow hangs high.
The door to the former Prince Pu's Mansion in Xijing of the Xia Kingdom, now a temporary palace in Lingzhou City of the Great Song Dynasty, slowly opened.
The bright sunshine shines on the Zhao Guan family sitting in the open-top carriage, the brilliance is scorching and dazzling!
Zhao Ji's chariot, escorted by the Imperial City's ministers, slowly entered the compound of the temporary palace.
"I respectfully welcome the Holy Emperor back to the palace. Long live my emperor..."
"Long live my emperor..."
In the quiet courtyard of the temporary palace, Liang Shicheng led four old palace maids and eight young eunuchs, kneeling down to welcome the Holy Emperor back to the palace...
"You are Pingsheng. Senior Officer Liang, come to me."
Liang Shicheng, dragging his fat body beside Xie En, bowed and walked to the chariot of Zhao Guan's house.
Zhao Jidao: "Stop driving here, I want to come down and take a walk and look around."
Liang Shicheng immediately stepped forward to help Zhao Ji and get out of the carriage.
In fact, in Zhao Ji's opinion, his body is much stronger than that of Liang Shicheng. Now he lets him help him out of the car because he has something to ask him.
When Zhao Ji helped himself out of the car with Liang Shicheng's help, he whispered in Liang Shicheng's ear and asked in a low voice:
"Sir Liang, I have sent you a secret message. The well-covered carriage presented by Emperor Xia Li Qianshun contains the Princess Cao of Xia State. Have you arranged all the things I asked you to arrange in advance?"
"Everything has been arranged, old slave! Officials, please rest assured!" Liang Shicheng said with a smile on his face:
"The old slave also ordered the old maids to search Cao's body again according to the official secret order, but no murder weapon was found in her. Cao's car has been arranged by the old slave in the backyard of the palace."
"The old slave also asked the palace maid to dump the tiger cubs in Cao's chariot, clean it, light incense, and wait for the officials to leave."
"It's just that, according to the secret order passed down from the official family, the old slave did not ask Mrs. Cao to get out of the car, nor did she provide her with food or drinking water."
"Okay! Got it?" Zhao Ji nodded and said leisurely:
"I left Mr. Cao to dry in the sun for half a day in order to weaken his will to resist."
Liang Shicheng immediately bowed and flattered:
"The official is a sage. The official's move is quite like taming a fierce horse!"
"Haha!" Zhao Ji smiled, patted Liang Shicheng on the shoulder and said:
"I can rest assured that Senior Officer Liang is doing things! I like to listen to what Senior Official Liang has to say!"
Liang Shicheng was flattered. Since he personally conquered Xia with the Zhao Guan family, he felt a little neglected by the Zhao Guan family. He was not able to participate in many military and state affairs as before.
However, today's imperial emissary made him feel happy. He was very familiar with this kind of 'pimping' for officials!
Liang Shicheng seemed to have regained the familiar feeling of accompanying Zhao Guan's family before his character changed.
Liang Shicheng led the way, and Zhao Guan's family left the imperial city ministers and subordinates to guard the front yard. He only took a dozen eunuchs and maids with him and walked towards the backyard of the palace.
When Zhao Ji saw the Xia Emperor Siyu parked under the shade of a tree, a proud smile appeared on his face.
At the same time, the Cao family in the Si Yu with the curtains and curtains tightly closed heard the footsteps outside the carriage and the eunuch shouting "Officials, be careful on the road ahead";
She was also curious as to why Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting in a royal chariot in front of the palace gate in the city, turned a blind eye to the Si Yu she was riding in?
At this time, after a long and bumpy night, Princess Cao of the Xia Kingdom was tired, hungry and thirsty. She heard that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had returned to the palace, and when he passed by the vehicle she was sitting on, she couldn't bear it anymore.
.
Ms. Cao opened the sedan curtain, stepped out of the sedan, and stopped Zhao Ji and his party on their way back to the palace.
"Haha..." He smiled slightly and said to himself: "I've been drying you, the princess of the Xia Kingdom, for half a day, but it has a miraculous effect. You finally couldn't help it anymore, lowered yourself, and got off the bus yourself."
Zhao Ji carefully looked up from bottom to top. After looking at Mr. Cao who was blocking the way in front of him, a glint flashed in his eyes and he thought to himself: "Ms. Cao is so pretty!"
The 18-year-old Princess Cao of the Xixia Kingdom, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was so beautiful that she captivated the country and the city.
Zhao Ji saw that her lower body was a sapphire-colored pleated long skirt with wide ruffles of different colors at the hem. They were layered like waves and swayed gently in the wind. She was fresh and refined, as if she was floating like a fairy.
.
Ms. Cao's upper body was wearing a large jacket with narrow right gusset sleeves and a full train. The color was an elegant lotus color, which made her look noble yet still ladylike.
There are slits on both sides of her coat and below her waist, allowing her to move freely without losing her dignity. The neckline, cuffs, slits and hem are all made of gold brushed trim, which sparkles in the sun and makes it even more elegant.
It looks like she has a noble temperament.
She wears a four-petal lotus bud crown on her head. The edges of the lotus petals are covered with jewels, shining with bright light. The earrings and neck ornaments worn below are even more exquisite, highlighting her noble status.
.
In Zhao Ji's eyes, the Xia imperial concubine's costumes and headgear worn by Cao were deeply influenced by Han women's clothing in the Song Dynasty, but they retained some of Xixia's unique national customs, making her unique.
Extremely conspicuous.
Zhao Ji looked at Cao's pretty face again, and saw that her face was extremely beautiful, with eyebrows like crescent moons, eyes like autumn waves, a straight and beautiful nose bridge, and lips as red as cherries.
Her skin was as white as snow, as if it could be broken by a blow.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Her eyes are particularly bright, as if they contain a sea of stars, which is unforgettable at first sight.
Cao's temperament was noble and elegant, and every move she made was so graceful that Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel excited.
In the year since Zhao Ji traveled through time, he has seen and favored many beauties, but Cao's beauty was different.
Whether Mr. Cao is slightly nodding or raising his hand, he exudes charming charm.
"The slave family would like to ask the Zhao Guan family of the Great Song Dynasty. You violated the peace agreement between Xia and Song Dynasty three years ago and rashly raised troops to invade our country of Daxia. You also forced the emperor of Daxia to send a little girl from the slave family to your military camp! This is
How is Xing different from Jie and Zhou?"
"The Zhao Guan family, aren't you afraid that your ridiculous behavior will be recorded in the annals of history and will be infamy for thousands of years?"
"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji laughed loudly when he heard this.
He walked up to the beauty Cao who was like a rose with thorns, raised his left hand, pinched Cao's smooth face with his fingers, and at the same time used his left palm to hold up Cao's slightly pointed and beautiful chin.
, scolded:
"What a sharp mouth!"
Ms. Cao's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she was extremely throbbing.
In her opinion, although she was abandoned by the ruthless Xia Emperor Li Qianshun and presented to the Song Emperor, this was only her first meeting with the Song Emperor!
Zhao Jiguan's family did such a frivolous and obscene act, pinching the slave's face, holding the slave's chin, and teasing him in public, which is really embarrassing.
The reason why Cao took the initiative to walk out of the well-protected Siyu family, met Zhao Guan's family, and dared to scold the Emperor of Song Dynasty like Jie and Zhou was because she wanted to anger Zhao Guan's family and send her back to Xia Kingdom;
Even if he was killed for angering the Song Emperor, he might still be able to save the Cao family who were taken hostage by the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun.
Within half a day of entering Song Camp, she was searched twice. Each time she was searched, although she pretended to be calm on the surface, in fact, she was extremely frightened.
She was really scared when someone found out the vial of poison used to kill the Emperor of the Song Dynasty that Li Qianshun forced her to hide in her body.
"The officials let go!" Ms. Cao shouted in shame:
"Ah?! It hurts!"
"Please respect yourself as an official..."
"Ah?! It hurts!"
"Hehe..." Zhao Ji became more and more excited when he heard Cao's cry, and had no intention of letting go.
Zhao Ji took advantage of him physically, but he would never admit defeat verbally.
Faced with Cao's previous verbal attacks, Zhao Ji began to fight back:
"Ms. Cao, look at me carefully. I have something to say to you."
Mr. Cao, whose chin was held by Zhao Ji, had to look up to Zhao Guan's family.
At such a close distance, she looked at the majestic face of the Zhao Guan family with annoyance and shame. It was really many times more elegant and handsome than the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun of the Dangxiang clan!
Zhao Ji stared at Cao's stunning face with burning eyes and asked:
"Ms. Cao, are you Han?"
"yes!"
"Ms. Cao, is your grandfather Cao Mian, my disciple of the Song Dynasty? Are you the concubine of the current Xia Emperor Li Qianshun?"
When Cao heard this, his momentum became much weaker.
Through the gap between her white teeth, she reluctantly squeezed out one word:
"yes!"
"Humph!" Zhao Ji let go and stared at Cao's pretty face. While observing her facial expression, he asked deceptively:
"However, I see that your appearance does not look like the Princess Cao in the portrait sent back by the spies in the Xia Kingdom's palace!"
Zhao Ji stared at Mrs. Cao and found that her expression did not change much.
Zhao Ji had heard the testimonials of the Xia Imperial Guardsmen who had escorted the Xia envoys and the Cao family before, and had basically concluded that the Cao family in front of him was really the granddaughter of Cao Mian and the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun. Beloved concubine, the biological mother of Li Xiaoren, the future leader of the Xia Kingdom Zhongxing.
Historically, after Li Xiaoren inherited the throne of Xixia, he regarded his biological mother Cao as the mother of the country.
At this time, when Ms. Cao faced the doubts from Zhao Guan’s family, her face did not change and she said calmly:
"The Zhao Guan family, since they don't believe that the slave family is the imperial concubine of the Xia Kingdom, then send the slave family back to the Xia Kingdom!"
"Hahaha... Cao, you have a beautiful idea!"
"Previously, I asked Zhang Jun to send a message to the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, saying that I wanted to return the granddaughter of the traitor Cao Mian of the Song Dynasty, who is the current princess Cao of the Xia Kingdom. It was just a joke!"
In order to drive a wedge between Cao and Li Qianshun, Zhao Ji deceived him:
"Actually, my original move was just like the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu wrote a courtship letter to Empress Lu. I just wanted to insult the enemy monarch! But I never expected that the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was timid. Like a mouse, shameless, willing to be a cuckold, willing to be a tortoise monarch, you really brought Cao, the imperial concubine of Great Xia, to me!"
"Hahaha..." After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he laughed loudly.
After hearing Zhao Guan's explanation, Mrs. Cao hated Xia Emperor Li Qianshun extremely.
Cao, who came from a good family background, read poetry and "Historical Records" since childhood.
She knew the historical facts told by Zhao Guanjia about the Huns' Maodun Shanyu courting Empress Lu:
Not long after the death of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Maodun Shanyu of the Xiongnu felt that Empress Lu and the orphans and widows of Emperor Hui of Han were weak and could be bullied, so he wrote a frivolous, arrogant and rude courtship letter and sent an envoy to bring it to Empress Lu. , I want to wantonly insult Empress Dowager Lu, the actual ruler of the Han Dynasty.'
Cao still remembered the original text of the courtship letter to Empress Lu when she was studying history:
"The solitary monarch was born in Juze, grew up in the plains of wild cattle and horses, and traveled to the border. He originally traveled to China. Your majesty is independent and lives alone. The two masters are not happy and have nothing to worry about. They used to change their possessions to other places.
none."
Although the ancient Chinese prose from the Han Dynasty was a bit difficult to pronounce for Cao, she could understand its meaning:
In his courtship letter to Empress Lu, Maodun Shanyu of the Xiongnu translated it in vernacular as:
"I am a monarch who was born on the grassland and spends all day with cattle and horses. I am willing to visit China. Now, I am a bachelor. (Queen Lu) you are single. How about we get together and communicate with each other?"
"
Cao knew that Empress Lu in history cleverly rejected the advances (teasing) of Maodun Chanyu of the Xiongnu.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Empress Lu replied graciously: "I am old, my hair and teeth have deteriorated, and my walking has lost pace..." (I am already old, my hair has fallen out, and my teeth have lost pace...
It’s so loose that it’s difficult to walk. I’m no longer worthy of you, a young and vigorous prairie hero!)
"Creak, creak!" Cao's white teeth gritted loudly.
As she listened to Zhao Guanjia's words, she recalled how when she was studying history, she saw how Empress Lu defused Maodun Shanyu's 'wooing'; and then she thought about how the ruthless and unjust Xia Emperor Li Qianshun could really be so cruel to her.
This majestic imperial concubine of the Xia Kingdom was really dedicated to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty who was conducting the conquest in person!
Thinking of this, her hatred for Li Qianshun became even deeper.
If it weren't for the Cao family's fear that Li Qianshun held the lives of her family in her hands, she would really want to rebel now and force Xia Emperor Li Qianshun to hide her body and tell the truth about his poisonous desire to harm Zhao Guan's family, so that she could join the family.
After Song camp, he could find a way to survive.
"Woooooooo..."
The beauty Cao couldn't help but cry when she thought about the sad things.
Zhao Ji saw the beauty in front of him crying so hard that he stretched out his hand and took the initiative to wipe away Cao's tears. At the same time, he could also wipe the oil and actually touch Cao's smooth, tender and elastic pretty face.
Face……
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
However, this time Zhao Guan's family was so frivolous and molested her. She didn't know why. Why didn't she feel as disgusted as last time?
…
"I know that you will definitely miss your mother-in-law's family when you first enter the Song camp. I promise you that as long as you sincerely surrender, I will treat your mother-in-law's family preferentially when I lead my army to capture the capital of Xia Kingdom!"
"Ah?!" Mrs. Cao was shocked when she heard the holy words. She was even more worried that if the Song army attacked the capital of Xia Kingdom, would her natal family be poisoned by Xia Emperor Li Qianshun in advance?
She stopped crying, looked up at Zhao Guan's handsome and majestic face, and asked in panic:
"Didn't the officials say that if the Xia emperor donated the slave family, he would cease the war and negotiate peace, and rebuild the relationship between the Song and Xia countries?"
"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji laughed, looking down at Cao who raised his head and blinked his big eyes, and said decisively:
