Zhao Hu's horse was too big and heavy, and was not suitable for walking on the mountain roads in Lingnan. Lu Jia got a better carriage for Zhao Hu to ride on. Compared with the horse, the carriage was shabby and old, and it was drafty on all sides, so it was very uncomfortable to sit in it.
Uncomfortable. After walking only three or five miles, Zhao Hu could no longer sit still and asked the driver to stop the car. He wanted to rest for a while. With the help of four chamberlains, he moved his fat body out, and the guarding soldiers immediately cleared an open space.
, and drove the passing folk and people away from Zhao Hu.
"This is where?"
"Back to your Majesty, I have just left Panyu five miles away."
Zhao Hu turned around and looked in the direction of Panyu, but unfortunately the mountains and woods blocked him and he couldn't see anything. Zhao Hu wanted to cry. Since Zhao Tuo established his capital in Panyu and South Vietnam lasted for hundreds of years, no king has ever left Panyu. He, Zhao Hu, also
It’s an unprecedented time. If you can’t go back, how will you be able to see your ancestors after death?
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his robe sleeves: "Have you brought out the ancestors' spiritual tablets from the ancestral temple?"
"Go back to the king and bring them all out. They have been sent to the property in advance."
Zhao Hu nodded: "Can Baiguan and others follow?"
"Go back to your Majesty, and everyone will follow. The Prime Minister has made very careful arrangements."
"Haha!" Zhao Hu smiled helplessly: "Thoughtful? It is indeed very thoughtful! Even the country has been lost, what else is there to be unthoughtful? Where is my uncle? I want to talk to my uncle."
"Back to your Majesty, Zhao Wen has the Prime Minister taking care of you, so you can rest assured."
"I want to talk to your uncle, but I didn't ask where your uncle is!" Zhao Wen got angry: "Go and find your uncle!"
"Go back to your Majesty. The Han army is right behind you. It's better to hurry up."
Zhao Hu wanted to raise his foot to kick the servant down, but before he could lift his leg, he fell down first. Zhao Hu struggled on the ground, and there was no one to help him. After working hard for a long time, he finally sat up, breathing heavily.
Angry, he glared at the chamberlain who replied: "You! Why don't you help me get up?"
"No!" the chamberlain said, neither humble nor overbearing. "Hurry and help the king into the car. The king has rested and is on his way."
Without any explanation, several chamberlains forced Zhao Hu into the carriage. With a shout, the carriage started and continued on its way. Zhao Wen's head hit the side of the carriage and it hurt. He reached out and touched it, but luckily there was no bleeding. He struggled.
He sat up, so tired that he no longer had the strength to curse. Lying in the carriage, Zhao Hu looked up to the sky and laughed.
Lu Jia's carriage was a little better than Zhao Hu's, but only a little better. The mountain road was difficult to walk, so a light carriage would not get stuck in the mud and be dragged out. When passing by Zhao Wen, Lu Jia called Zhao Wen into his carriage.
.The two sat opposite each other and did not speak for a long time.
"Ahem!" Lu Jia coughed: "Doctor Zhao is in very good health. He has walked such a long road step by step. I think Dr. Zhao was not like this at the beginning."
Zhao Wen smiled: "If the Prime Minister also wants to have good health, he can just trek in the mountains and forests for two months and he will be like a villain."
Lu Jia waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm old and can't compare to you young people."
"The Prime Minister is only thirty-three years old in his fifties, so how can he be said to be older? If we only talk about his appearance, he is several years younger than me."
"Hahaha... Doctor Zhao is getting better and better at talking."
Zhao Wen waved his hand and said, "I have never been able to speak. It was the same then and it is still the same now. If the state minister doesn't believe it, you can just ask someone to ask and see if what the villain said is correct?"
Lu Jia smiled and glanced at Zhao Wen: "When it comes time to buy property, I would like to ask Dr. Zhao to become an official again, but I don't know..."
"Is it an official from the Nanyue Kingdom or someone else?" Zhao Wen also looked at Lu Jia, and the two just looked at each other.
After a long while, Lu Jiacai said: "No matter who the official is, they are all for the people of South Vietnam. Doctor Zhao shouldn't refuse, right?"
Zhao Wen opened the car curtain and motioned to Lu Jia to look outside: "Are they the ones the Prime Minister is talking about?"
Along the road, people with their families were trekking hard. They did not have officials' carriages and horses, and no one was willing to give up the few possessions they had. They hugged or carried them tightly in their arms. A family of four was leaving from Lujia
Passing by the carriage, the rags are no different from those of beggars. There are no men in this family. There are two women, one old and one young. They are dragging their children tightly with one hand and protecting their belongings with the other hand. They have to walk a few steps.
Use some force to hold the item again.
The child was too thin and small to keep up with the steps of the adults. He tried hard to move forward with his two little legs like wooden sticks, without saying a word, and his little face turned red from suppressing it. When he turned his head and saw someone in the carriage looking at him, he glanced at him and turned his head again.
Go over. The look in his eyes shocked Lu Jia, and he couldn't help but move back.
Zhao Wen put down the curtain and said with a smile: "Has the Prime Minister seen it? These are the people of South Vietnam. I swore a strong oath at the beginning that I would never leave Lingnan until I rescued all the people. Today I swear another oath not to rescue all the people."
Common people, swear not to be officials!"
Zhao Hu finally saw clearly today what it means to be in a cold world and what it means to be like a sea. Lu Jia's purpose was so obvious that it was ridiculous that he jumped in. The princess helped Zhao Hu up and reached out to touch the big bump on Zhao Hu's head. Originally
It was fat, it was hit hard, and the bulge was quite big. After many years of marriage, her husband was bullied like this by several slaves, and the princess shed tears.
Zhao Hu smiled: "It doesn't matter, why are you crying?"
The princess hurriedly stopped her tears: "Your Majesty, we are not going to buy property anymore, shall we go home?"
Zhao Hu put his arms around the princess, and the couple's heads were touching. The princess felt very happy. Such a time only happened when Zhao Hu was still a young master. Since Zhao Hu became the king, he was busy, and the women around him were also busy.
More and more, let alone being together so sweetly, it is difficult to even meet each other. The two have been married for so many years, and they seem to be a real couple today. It is difficult to be a couple.
"Your Majesty, will we come back?" The princess remained motionless, feeling the fat body of Zhao Hu.
"I don't know, are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid. You won't be afraid wherever you go with the king!"
Zhao Hu hugged the princess tighter, and neither of them spoke anymore. They just hugged her and swayed left and right with the bumps of the carriage.
Thick smoke billowed up, thick and spectacular, attracting everyone's attention. Soon someone discovered that the place where the smoke was coming seemed to be Panyu, the capital of the country. In an instant, there was a burst of crying, cursing the damn Han people for doing such a heartless thing.
things.
Zhao Wen also saw the thick smoke, which was really big. It looked like it had set the whole city on fire. Such a huge fire could not be saved at all, and it could not be extinguished until it was completely burned. Zhao Wen turned around and gave Lu Jia a thumbs up:
"The Prime Minister's move was brilliant. It not only drew the people's hatred towards the Han people, but also stopped them from returning to Panyu. It was really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone."
Lu Jia smiled: "Doctor Zhao is wrong. This fire was started by the Han people. What does it have to do with me?"
Zhao Wen smiled and nodded: "Just assume that the fire was set by the Han people. This fire can burn the city of Panyu, but I don't know if it can burn other things? There seems to be no one in South Vietnam that the country can miss, including our king.
Bar?"
Lu Jia looked at Zhao Wen: "Doctor Zhao has decided not to be an official anymore, why are you still worrying about this? No matter Panyu City or the king, no matter what step the matter reaches, he will be able to take action. As long as Dr. Zhao knows, I will never let him
The Han people drove out the Yue people and killed them all, no matter how high the price they paid."
"Including the entire Lingnan?"
Lu Jia nodded solemnly: "Including!"
Zhao Wen stopped talking and turned to look outside the car, at the people on the roadside and the thick smoke in the distance. Before returning to South Vietnam, Zhao Wen still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that things would not be so bad; hoping that things would not be so bad.
It can get better. The Zhao family is originally Han, so it's okay to go back to Han. The Yue people just want to live, and they don't care where they are, but now everything is developing in a bad direction.
"Stop!" Zhao Wen shouted.
Lu Jia asked: "What's wrong with Dr. Zhao? Isn't riding in a car not as comfortable as walking?"
"I'm going to see the king, my nephew."
Lu Jia smiled: "What Dr. Zhao shouted is really hot. Haha, the king is resting. He is protected by the Forbidden Army. There will be no problem. Dr. Zhao can stay in my car with peace of mind. He is still far away from buying a property. There is no three or five
I'm afraid I won't be able to get there."
Zhao Wen ignored Lu Jia, opened the curtain and jumped out. Although the carriage was not fast, Zhao Wen also had no good skills. He rolled twice on the ground, and with the help of the old servant, he got up from the ground. Immediately there were soldiers
The soldiers came over and surrounded Zhao Wen. It seemed that if Lu Jia said a word, Zhao Wen would die here.
The carriage stopped and Lu Jia stuck out his head: "Dr. Zhao, why are you doing this?"
Zhao Wen looked at the soldiers around him and stared: "I will see the king today, unless you kill me!"
"Doctor Zhao is like a god in the hearts of the people. How dare I, Lu Jia, dare to offend the public? Since Dr. Zhao wants to see the king, go and see him. I just don't know if the king is willing to see you!"
Zhao Wen was furious, separated the soldiers surrounding him, and walked forward with his old servant. Both the common people and the soldiers on the road got out of the way. Zhao Wen walked very fast, and the old servant hurried behind him, for fear that
Zhao Wen fell down again. He could already see the carriage of South Vietnam King Zhao Hu, the tattered carriage, the lazy waiters, and a dozen soldiers listlessly following the carriage. Without banners and honor guards, he was alone and even more miserable than those officials.
.
A chamberlain stopped in front of Zhao Wen and saluted, neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "Why are you here, Doctor Zhao?"
"I want to see the king!"
"Your Majesty has already rested. He has told you not to see anyone when he comes down. Doctor Zhao should please come back."
"Humph! Get out of the way!" Zhao Wen pushed the chamberlain away with all his strength, and several chamberlains and soldiers blocked Zhao Wen's way. Zhao Wen said angrily: "What are you going to do?"
The chamberlain who was pushed away came back to Zhao Wen: "The king has ordered not to see anyone. Doctor Zhao, please go back."
Just as a few people were arguing, a heartbreaking cry suddenly came from the carriage. Everyone who heard it was shocked. Zhao Wen risked his life and rushed through the servants and soldiers, came to the carriage and opened the curtain.
The princess's face was full of tears: "The king has passed away! Wuwuwu..." (To be continued)
