In late March, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. On this afternoon, Zhao Guan's family was studying Ouyang's "New History of the Five Dynasties" in the pavilion near the lake in the harem. In addition to Bachelor Xiaolin who was ready for consultation, there was actually Prime Minister Lu Haowen sitting with him.
Let’s say that during the Jingkang Incident, the Jin people focused all their attention on plundering gold and silver, not even copper coins, but this does not mean that the royal books were not plundered. After all, there was Wanyan Xiyin... Others were robbing the gold.
Woman, he was there grabbing books and chapters, determined to be Xiao He's.
Of course, Xiyin's destructive power is limited after all, and he cannot force his subordinates to give up all their gold and silver to pack books for him. Most of the losses of more books and regulations are only from the subsequent wars, and they are not considered systemic.
In addition, due to the prosperous literary style of the Song Dynasty, many books were printed and circulated in various places, so it was not difficult to find them.
This is a blessing among misfortunes.
In fact, someone in the court has already suggested collecting and consolidating classics, identifying errors and omissions, and re-establishing an official edition... The reason is that books are now left outside, and some people are using some classics with poor printing quality, errors and omissions to mislead people.
.
However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the experience of Zhao Guan's family, because "New History of the Five Dynasties" is a private history book, and Ouyang Xiu said from the beginning that he was disgusted with the general decline and moral collapse during the Five Dynasties, so he wanted to imitate the "Spring and Autumn Period" writing style
'Write a history book to criticize those 'shameless' people... In other words, "New History of the Five Dynasties" is more about literary and artistic value, as well as general ethics, but has little to do with textual research and historical value.
Even the people of the Song Dynasty themselves said that Ouyang Xiu could do "what a shame" and write "second-class articles". In other words, no matter how good the online articles are, they are just online articles and cannot be regarded as literature.
Therefore, Zhao Jiu was only used as a dispatch... He and Lu Haowen were waiting here for Han Xiaozhou, who should be returning to Tokyo today.
However, from noon to the afternoon, when the Zhao Guan family read the book for several generations, Han Xiaozhou was still nowhere to be seen. Finally, as the sun turned westward, the Zhao Guan family was so bored that they went straight to look for Feng Dao's biography.
, only to see Yang Yizhong leading a middle-aged purple-robed official to come in a hurry, and Zhao Jiu put down the history book and calmed down a little.
He knew that the person coming must be Han Xiaozhou, because someone had given him a popular science before. As soon as Han Xiaozhou entered the official position and became a mere secretary of Kaifeng Prefecture, he was dismissed by the extremely frivolous Taishang Daojun Emperor.
He was bumped into, and after asking his name and family background, he was directly rewarded with the position of Wei Wei Shaoqing, and was specially given a third-grade purple robe... and this person also became a rare purple-robed magistrate.
And sure enough, when this person came forward and was greeted with greetings, he turned out to be the eldest son of the Han family who was twice as old as Zhao Guan's family but a generation younger.
After the two parties had finished their greetings, Zhao Jiu, who had already waited impatiently, frowned at each other and said, "Han Qing worked so hard from afar, but he was so delayed when he arrived in Tokyo. It took him nearly half a day to enter the city?"
Han Xiaozhou was a little confused when he came up and was scolded, but he still managed to explain: "Good instructors know that I went to Qingcheng in the south of Tokyo last night, and my uncle went to Qingcheng to inform the officials of the order. Therefore, I set off this morning.
When I came to see the official, I had to abandon the horses and take a mule cart instead. It was a little late..."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the pavilion for a while, and Zhao Jiu was obviously confused. After a while, he asked: "When did I have a decree for your uncles, and when did I ask you to enter the city by mule cart?"
I don't know if it was because of the hot weather, but Han Xiaozhou was sweating profusely and didn't know how to deal with it.
"The official family does have this purpose, but it is not a specific purpose." Seeing Han Xiaozhou at a loss, Prime Minister Lu Haowen sitting next to him spoke up at the right time. "Before the official family was in Huaishang, there would be
It was decreed that officials were not allowed to ride in sedan chairs because the state was in danger. Later, there was another decree in Nanyang that because the army lacked war horses and the people lacked cattle, officials were not allowed to use strong horses as mounts without authorization, and women were not allowed to travel in ox carts without authorization...
"
"That's right." Han Xiaozhou hurriedly followed. "That's what my uncles told me. They said that the civil servants in the capital all rode donkeys and mules. I wasted some time looking for the mule cart.
Please also ask the officials to atone for their sins."
Zhao Jiu looked at the other party's sincere and frightened posture, and felt that he was wrong for a moment. After being speechless for a long time, he bit the bullet and skipped the topic: "Never mind this matter, after crossing the river, does Han Qing know what to do?"
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Han Xiaozhou, who was dressed in purple robe, heard this and ignored the etiquette and directly fell on the ground to salute. He was so shocked that Academician Xiao Lin, Yang Yizhong and Lan Gui took several steps back. Lu Haowen even stood up.
He came to hide away, but when the purple-robed magistrate raised his head, his eyes were already red. "Before I left Jiangzhou, my mother had something to say to me, warning me that I have received the country's favor in this life, and I will do what I am told, and I must not be rude or disrespectful."
, even if she has nine deaths, she must return to the capital... My mother said, my mother said, don't worry about her old age!"
At the end of his speech, the man burst into tears.
Zhao Jiu was also obviously startled, but he swallowed all the dissatisfaction and words he had accumulated before, and just said carefully: "Han Qing, please get up... Since the old lady has already told me, I won't stop."
I warned you...I remember that your father passed away when he became the governor of Xiangzhou?"
"yes."
"Fortunately, you have a good mother," Zhao Jiu looked directly at Lu Hao and asked, "What is the highest level of gift that such a good mother can give?"
Lu Haowen also felt a little frightened, but he spoke concisely and concisely: "Mrs. Guo, this is the case with Mrs. Ning Guo, who was rewarded by the official family to the mother of Lieutenant Yue in the middle of last year."
Zhao Jiu immediately turned to face Han Xiaozhou: "I will confer the title of Madam Rongguo in the Imperial Palace! Get up quickly!"
Han Xiaozhou became more and more grateful and got up. Zhao Jiu gave him some kind words and asked him to go back to his residence in Tokyo to rest. He would wait until tomorrow to receive the mission to welcome the envoy and then go north with the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin.
.
Just like that, watching Han Xiaozhou come and go, Zhao Guan's family sat there for half a quarter of an hour before going to look at Lu Hao, who was still standing beside him, and asked: "Ms. Lu, I heard that you are in-laws?"
"Yes." Lu Haowen came back to his senses and spoke carefully. "Han Dayin's grandmother is Chen's aunt..."
"If you look at it this way, our monarchs and ministers are pretty good..."
Zhao Jiu grunted, but no one around him heard him.
After a pause, Zhao Guanjia looked around and saw that apart from a few guards, only Academician Xiao Lin and Lan Gui were around. They simply asked Lu Haowen and said bluntly: "Ms. Lu, do you think your in-law is here?"
Pretending, pretending to be stupid?”
Lu Haowen was startled for a moment, then slowly shook his head, but he didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed, or maybe he didn't see it.
Zhao Jiu sighed, but said what was in his heart: "I did not hide it from Xianggong Lu. Ever since Wanyan Wushu's letter came that day, I felt that something was wrong. Han Xiaozhou invited himself to go north, and at the same time as Wushu's letter
It’s such a coincidence to arrive..."
Lu Haowen had no choice but to finally bite the bullet and speak sincerely: "In the official family, Han Xiaozhou has been favored by the country for his whole life, and there is no way he can have connections with foreign countries."
Zhao Jiu frowned for a moment.
"The officials..." On the other side, Bachelor Xiao Lin also woke up, but he lowered his head and spoke carefully. "Han Dayin's father passed away early, so it's hard to say, but when his grandfather Yi Guogong (Han Zhongyan) was the prime minister, he was called
He is a sincere gentleman... I think Han Xiaozhou is extremely similar to his ancestors."
Being a gentleman means being useless and incompetent, which is consistent with Han Xiaozhou's performance today.
However, Zhao Jiu glanced at Lu Haowen, who was a little embarrassed, but slowly shook his head: "Actually, I didn't doubt him, because if I think about it carefully, how could Han Xiaozhou be separated by thousands of miles and a Yellow River in Jiangzhou?
Natural defense line and transportation to the north? So I thought from the beginning that the reason why a person like Han Xiaozhou asked to go north must be because the people at the top and bottom were like this, and everyone thought that the north and south were stable and could resume communication. But at this time, Wanyan Wushu did this.
It seems to cater to our people’s hearts too much.”
Lin Jingmo was deep in thought, then fell silent again.
Lu Haowen had no choice but to confront him seriously: "What do the officials think is going on?"
"Of course I thought Wanyan Wushu had other plans..." Zhao Jiu said calmly in the audience. "To be honest with Mr. Lu, I called you here today not just to accompany me to meet Han Xiaozhou.
I actually want to tell you that I have always suspected that the Jin Kingdom’s behavior was to use Empress Dowager Xuanhe to confuse my mood and cater to the people of the Song Dynasty to cover up something! Han Xiaozhou will leave tomorrow, so I will talk to you
Let’s talk.”
Lu Haowen sighed slightly, but then asked: "I dare to ask the officials, so what?"
Zhao Jiu also sighed... Just as Lu Haowen said, so what?
In fact, Zhao Jiu had already relaxed, but Wanyan Wushu's deliberate paralysis allowed him to catch a glimpse of something, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
And this is the danger of not having military initiative. He has suspicions but can't prove anything. He can only passively wait for the situation to emerge. These days, he thought about it for a long time, but found that he could not even dispatch troops and horse support in advance.
Yes, because all the soldiers and horses are performing their respective duties, once they get out of the way, they will take the initiative to expose a big hole, and Han Shizhong is already in the best support position in Caizhou.
Not only that, reason told him that guesses were just guesses. Forcing the soldiers and the people to be more vigilant would only lead to fatigue of the army and the people. When the Jin people really came, they would be even more miserable. The Jin people might even not come. This was in vain and made him lose his prestige.
, so he couldn't even talk openly to the officers in the letter... He just asked them to defend carefully and not to relax their vigilance just because the summer is coming.
"That's alright." After thinking for a long time, he saw Feng Yifeng and Feng Feng poking their heads in the distance. However, Zhao Jiu got up and left the matter behind, saying goodbye to Lu Haowen. "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Mr. Lu will go on his own. I
There’s something going on too…”
Lu Haowen left immediately.
However, just after Lu Haowen turned around and walked four or five steps, Zhao Jiu looked at something on the table in the pavilion. His heart moved slightly, but he stood up and called to the other party: "My lord, please stay."
Lu Haowen turned around in surprise.
"This is a gift to Mr. Lu." Under the silent gaze of Academician Xiao Lin, Zhao Jiu folded a page of "New History of the Five Dynasties" that he had read for half a day, then walked out of the pavilion holding the book and handed it to Lu Haowen.
past.
Lu Hao asked not knowing why, but he still bowed and thanked him. Then he held the book in both hands and left the harem accompanied by Lan Gui.
And when the Prime Minister of the day and the Imperial Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned around a corner, they saw Feng Yiyin standing by the roadside and hurriedly saluted and said hello to them... Lu Haowen only thought that the latter looked familiar, so he
He nodded slightly and walked over. When he turned another corner, he remembered that it was Pan Yongshou, the imperial medical officer, and the biological father of Concubine Pan.
This incident made Lu Xianggong feel a little disturbed.
Not to mention how Lu Haowen went back to study, he only said that it was very hot here in the palace one day. In the evening of that day, Zhao Jiu took a routine rest and went to Pan Guifei's place... Ever since he came back, he had stayed here most of the time, and he didn't stay here today either.
exception.
But that day, when I slept until the third watch of the night, Lan Gui and Yang Yizhong suddenly called each other through the door.
Zhao Jiu suddenly woke up and came out with his clothes on, but he didn't show any signs of panic: "But the golden man finally moved?"
"No." It was Lan Gui instead of Yang Yizhong who leaned over and handed over the note. "Everyone, the Privy Council turned to Xiangyang's left-behind prime minister Liu Ji, Ma Shen, the envoy of Jinghu North Road, and Liu Hongdao, the envoy of Jiangnan West Road, jointly signed
Urgent news, the Dongting Lake clock is reversed!"
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment and did not go to pick up Zha Zi at all.
After taking several breaths, the Zhao Song official frowned and said, "You didn't rebel the year before last, you didn't rebel last year, why are you rebelling this year?"
Yang Yizhong and Lan Gui looked at each other, of course speechless. It was not their turn to speak.
"The year before last, the official was in Nanyang, hundreds of miles away, and Prime Minister Zhong didn't dare to rebel; last year, the official won a great victory, and he was given many false official positions to appease him. He was happy and comfortable, but he was no longer willing to rebel; and according to several
As mentioned in the letter, the spring floods in Hubei this year were serious. The floods had just begun, and the autumn harvest was not harvested. However, last year, land tax was added. The people were excited for a while. Those close to him only thought that this was the last chance. But Ruo Zhongxiang still wanted to
As his great sage, I can only rebel, and the officials do not have to worry..." In the Chongwen Courtyard, under the hastily lit lights, Wang Boyan, the prime minister who had just entered the palace, was the first to speak, but he seemed to be unconcerned.
"That's right." Another Xianggong, Xu Jingheng, was also quite calm and unhurried. "As far as I'm concerned, the Dongting Lake area has formed associations to protect itself as early as Jingkang. If it doesn't listen to the government's promotion, it will be rebelled sooner or later. Last year, the tax was added.
, we suffered a disaster this year, but we must rebel. It is not a matter of whether Prime Minister Zhong is willing or dares to do so... If Prime Minister Zhong does not rebel, others will rebel, and it must be based on that thing in Dongting Lake.
Society is rebelling!"
Under the light, Zhao Jiu looked at Xu Jingheng who was talking eloquently, and then turned his eyes to Lu Haowen who looked slightly tired and worried, but he was completely awakened.
"Officials and important ministers say that at this time, he rebelled, but it was just right. He took advantage of this opportunity to send troops to dig out this disease!" Chen Gui, who was born in Hubei, also said it with certainty, and it was rare to be impassioned. "Han Shizhong was in Huaixi, so he directly let him go.
He went south to quell the rebellion, and he could call in a few suitable water generals from Liangshanbo, which would be enough to smooth over the matter."
"Yes, if the Jin people come to attack, he will raise troops, which can be taken seriously, but today's situation is nothing more than scabies!" Xu Jingheng was obviously in a good mood today.
Zhao Jiu nodded slowly and said almost word for word: "The words of these gentlemen today are truly insightful and make me feel like I was slapped. They are really famous and elegant... Yes, when the world's affairs reach a certain level, no one is willing to do it.
, who doesn’t want to do it? Some things are inevitable and we should catch up!”
Seeing such cooperation from the officials, Xu Jingheng twitched his beard with rare satisfaction: "In this case, it is better to officially send Han Shizhong south to quell the rebellion."
"Okay!" Zhao Jiu stood up proudly. "But it involves military affairs and the situation is urgent, so there is no need to stick to the situation... We divided our troops into two groups, one from the capital and the other from the province. The Privy Council issued a decree asking Liu Ji and Ma Shen to
Liu Hongdao and three people organized a rebel army to defend the state capital and try to besiege Prime Minister Zhong. At the same time, I directly issued a decree and asked the Imperial Guard to take him to Han Shizhong on horseback and ask him to set off immediately. He must be as unpredictable as darkness and as powerful as thunder!"
Xu Jingheng hesitated for a moment, but Lu Haowen, who looked tired, simply bowed his head and said, "I think it's okay."
Without waiting for the other princes to respond, Zhao Jiu nodded and simply turned around and left.
Just like that, that night, countless decrees and gold medals were galloping around with countless fast horses. The city gates were not closed overnight, which shocked the whole city.
The next day, we learned that there was a rebellion in the Dongting Lake in the south, and we were finally at peace.
On this day, the welcoming envoy Han Xiaozhou also returned north with the Jin envoy Gao Jingshan.
Two days later, Han Shizhong's army turned to Nanyang as soon as they received the order. Interestingly, there was also movement in other imperial camps. But at this time, the Taihang Mountain side suddenly sent intelligence with all its might, as if desperately trying.
All parts of Hebei have been violently mobilized and mass mobilization has begun!
When the news came, the senior officials in Beijing were panicked for a moment, and even leaked the news, causing turmoil in Tokyo for days. Only Zhao Jiu remained motionless, as usual.
Five or six days later, just when Tokyo was breathing a sigh of relief after martial law was restored, three messages from different directions arrived almost on the same day:
First, at the same time that Meng'an Mouke in the Hebei area began to mobilize, Wanyan Loushi sent troops again after two months. Before the end of March, the West Route Army had no less than 60,000 soldiers and crossed the river out of Yan'an Prefecture.
All states, Danzhou and Danzhou are in emergency... and considering the delay of the news, one of the two states may be gone at this time, or even all of them are gone.
Secondly, the Meng'an Mookes in the Hebei area, who were the core troops of the Jin Kingdom's East Route Army, mobilized and gathered in two directions. Half of them were heading to Damingfu and the other half were heading to Taiyuan. At the same time, the West Route Army
The remaining troops and horses of the army were also mobilized across the board, but they were obviously gathered towards Yan'an in northern Shaanxi.
Third, Han Shizhong, who was supposed to turn to Dongting Lake in the south in Nanyang, suddenly showed a new official purpose to his subordinates when he reached Nanyang, then abandoned Hubei, turned west and headed towards Wuguan, and asked
Nanyang Prefecture deported grain and grass stocks to Kansai through Wuguan. Yan Xiaozhong, who knew Nanyang Prefecture, was dumbfounded. He could only watch Han Shizhong leave while sending a horse to Tokyo to ask... Why did the decree of the provincial and privy councils differ from the central decree?
Of course, at this time in Tokyo, no one cared about Yan Xiaozhong's suspicion, because the two groups of people Yan Xiaozhong wanted to ask, including the officials themselves, had already begun to get fully armed and prepared to go to Luoyang in person. At the same time,
Because of the report from the living man Yu Yunwen, the officials of the Chongwen Academy who had received the news hurriedly gathered together, and then, under the leadership of the four ministers, stopped the Zhao Guan family in front of the Yiyou Gate between the harem and the front palace, and tried to stop the Zhao Guan family.
This time of willful behavior... there is no one in the Chongwen Academy's capital hall to take care of things.
After all, by now, the situation has become very clear. The Jin people used to repatriate the Queen Mother to paralyze Zhao Guan's family, and used the New Year attack to paralyze the people of the world. This time, this time it was simply deliberate, and the army of the country joined forces to go west... 2
Of the 100,000 troops, probably only 50,000 to 60,000 will be used to contain the eastern front, while the remaining 150,000 to 60,000 will be gathered in the Guanzhong area, with the obvious intention of annexing the entire Guanzhong and even Bashu.
How dangerous is such a military strength? The officials left lightly, but what if something unexpected happened?
"I'm just going to Luoyang to take charge." In front of Yiyou Gate, Zhao Jiu was holding his armor and taking some time to rest. Looking at the dozens of important ministers led by the four ministers in front of him, he also burst into laughter for a moment. At the same time, Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan
, Lin Jingmo and other close ministers were all standing inside the door. Looking at it like this, it seemed that someone was waiting here specially. "Why are you doing this, sir?"
"Do the officials think that I will believe it?" Xu Jingheng was furious. "Since the Jin people want to annex Guanzhong, what is the use of the officials in going to Luoyang? What's more, the officials have always regarded the officials as enemies and have made secret preparations for Han Shizhong.
I’m afraid we’ve already arrived at Wuguan, right?”
"How can I regard the ministers as enemies? I regard the ministers who are here today as my confidants!" Zhao Jiu stood on the steps in front of Yiyou's door. He glanced at the people who came in a hurry and couldn't help but shook his head. "Today I
Those who are here are either my close ministers or the important ministers that I promoted from Nanyang... Now in this city, if I can't trust you, I will really have no one to trust!"
Xu Jingheng was also stagnant.
But Wang Boyan took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, saying sincerely: "The officials, since the officials know the loyalty of the ministers, they should also think about it... Going to the front line here is really dangerous!"
"Isn't there nothing we can do?" Zhao Jiu remained calm and unhurried. "If we abandon the Two Rivers, do we have to abandon Guanxi again? If Guanxi is gone, can the Central Plains be preserved?"
Wang Boyan and Xu Jingheng were immediately at a loss for words, and many people simply shed tears. But soon, everyone looked beyond the stereotype of extremely junior seniority and aimed at another husband, the prime minister who had already established considerable prestige.
Lu Hao asked.
Lu Haowen's eyes were red, and he moved forward slowly. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Jiu on the steps in front of Yiyou's door: "Guan family! The battle must be fought, but you alone are responsible for the safety of the world. At this time, we
It is not as desolate as the Mingdao Palace back then. We already have some troops and foundations. Why not leave the Kansai War to Prime Minister Yu Wen and Han Shizhong? In any case, the officials themselves should not take risks anymore..."
"In the past, when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty conquered the world, he always went out to fight in person." Zhao Jiu shook his head. "If I don't go to the front line, how can I win?"
The words were a bit abrupt. Lu Haowen thought that the other party would quote the reason Qu Duan proposed last time, but he still instinctively refuted it: "The official family cannot be compared with Tang Taizong, right? Throughout the ages, there has been only one Tang Taizong."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Hao asked himself that something seemed wrong.
"This time it's actually not that dangerous. Although the Jin man said what he didn't expect, he did it against the weather. If we can rely on the terrain of northern Shaanxi to delay him for a while, and wait until the summer heat, our army has recharged its energy and strength, and then we can attack again.
It's like Mount Tai has pressed the egg." Zhao Jiu continued to defend, but it sounded a bit arrogant.
"The official family is not Tai..." Lu Haowen almost blurted out.
But before he finished speaking, the current prime minister finally realized that something was wrong with the conversation between the official and him... The official was deliberately using a dialogue in "Feng Dao Zhuan" to induce him.
The "Feng Dao Biography" is exactly where the dog-eared page of the "New History of the Five Dynasties" was given to him by Zhao Guan's family.
After trying to understand what was going on, Lu Haowen smiled more and more helplessly: "Are the officials comparing themselves to Zhou Shizong? Or do they regard the minister as Feng Dao?"
Not only Lu Haowen, but also all the ministers who rushed to Yanfu Palace after hearing the news today were not well-educated people. Even the youngest Yu Yunwen was also a Jinshi, so everyone woke up one after another... The officials and the Prime Minister had no idea.
I was studying the words of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong and Feng Dao before the decisive battle with Khitan in "New History of the Five Dynasties".
Among them, Zhao Guanjia learned from Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, who was also the inducer, while Lu Haowen was regarded as Feng Dao.
However, after they figured it out, everyone looked even worse.
After all, although Zhou Shizong won that battle and set the foundation for the later Zhou Dynasty, the fate of the two people in the story was not very auspicious... Not only did Feng Dao have a very bad reputation, he died directly after this battle.
There is no need to say more about Chai Rong’s result.
Back in front of him, Zhao Jiu sighed when he saw Lu Haowen waking up, but then he took two steps forward and went down the two steps, and held Lu Haowen's hand with his hand, and then said to him sincerely: "Mr. Lu
, I regard you as Feng Dao, but I regard myself as Shi Jingtang, the great ancestor of the later Jin Dynasty..."
Everyone froze for a moment, confused for a moment, but Lu Haowen swayed slightly and fell into a trance.
But soon, other ministers who were familiar with the allusions also woke up and became frightened or suspicious. However, among the frightened and suspicious, some people were actually surprised.
Let's say that Feng Dao served as an official for ten emperors, including Shi Jingtang, the emperor of the later Jin Dynasty. The most famous allusion between Shi Jingtang and Feng Dao is the matter of Shi Jingtang's entrustment to an orphan before his death... Although Shi Jingtang was a famous son-emperor, he also
He was probably the emperor who respected and trusted Feng Dao the most. When he was alive, he entrusted all government affairs to Feng Dao. When he died, he even gave his infant son to Feng Dao as an orphan.
Feng Dao took over Shi Jingtang's son and agreed to the other party's entrustment. However, when Shi Jingtang left, he turned around and appointed Shi Jingtang's adult nephew in the name of "Guolai Changjun".
"I read "New History of the Five Dynasties" and felt that Ouyang Xiu's literary talent was really outstanding, but other aspects were too inferior... For example, when Shi Jingtang left Feng Dao alone, Ouyang Yongshu ridiculed Feng Dao for being unfaithful.
No virtue." Zhao Jiu held Lu Haowen's hand and spoke eloquently. When he said this, he suddenly chuckled. "I didn't have deep feelings about this kind of thing before, and I even felt that Feng Dao had let Shi Jingtang down a bit, but
After I came back this time and learned that Concubine Pan was pregnant, when I could barely call myself a father, I suddenly realized that Feng Dao was really devoting all his efforts to repay Shi Jingtang for his kindness! And Shi Jingtang
He didn't say a word before he died, but only let his youngest son be carried to Feng Dao. He was not asking for the throne for his youngest son. That was not what a father should do! Because with the chaos of the Five Dynasties, he forcibly supported an infant.
Didn't you send him to die as a child? But Feng Dao's behavior truly lived up to Shi Jingtang's intention to care for the orphan. In fact, if I remember correctly, Shi Jingtang's son lived well until the fall of the Later Jin Dynasty, and he died of illness at all."
"The official..." Lu Haowen burst into tears for a moment, as if he had already guessed what Zhao Jiu meant.
"Ms. Lu, gentlemen." Zhao Jiu continued to hold Lu Haowen's hand, but suddenly turned to the important ministers and responded solemnly. "Let me have a word with you today...I am here to treat you specially."
Yes, I am not so concerned about leaving without making any military arrangements, let alone treating you, my trusted ministers, as nothing."
Everyone was speechless, as if they had already realized this, and more and more people began to cry like Lu Haowen.
"Since I am a confidant, I have something to say. Although I know that I will annoy you if I say it, if I can't say it to you, I won't be willing to do it even if I die." Zhao Jiu looked at these people with rare sincerity. "You should have seen it earlier.
, I hate the two saints! But I especially hate the Taishang Daojun Emperor! Because in Jingkang, he abandoned all the people as the emperor, abandoned his ministers as the king, abandoned his son as his father, and abandoned his wife as his husband! He really should not be a king, a father, or a husband.
! But the more I hate him, the less I can make the same mistake again now... You think, how can I openly abandon tens of millions of people in Kansai when I will have children? This is how I will live in peace in the future.
What do the heirs think of me? How could I really abandon you without saying a word? This time, it is the same as before, there are reasons why I have to go!"
If the first half of these words were said in the court, all the civil and military officials in the court would probably have no choice but to abandon their official positions and leave... But today, in terms of father and son, the urgent military situation ahead, and the news that Concubine Pan is pregnant
, and the sincere attitude of the official family, especially considering the special status of Zhao Guanjia as a son and a father, it seems to be rebellious and a little more humane.
It was enough to prevent these important ministers from saying anything blaming in the first place.
But even so, everyone, including Yang Yizhong, Lin Jingmo, Liu Yan and other instigators who were hiding behind Yiyou Gate, all bowed their heads and pretended not to hear anything.
"Lv Xianggong." Zhao Jiu finally turned to Lu Haowen and called him Xianggong. Then the words came out of his mouth, but he still said it again. It was obvious that he was not just explaining to Lu Haowen. "To tell you the truth, this battle,
I went to set the front line today, because there is no way to avoid this battle, but as you said, this battle is dangerous! As for us kings and ministers, I have only one request for you... that is, in case something happens to me, and Pan
The concubine has given birth to a prince again. I also ask you not to imitate Zhuge Wuhou, but to deal with this child like Feng Dao... In the name of the Queen Mother, and on the grounds of Kunyori Changjun, from the sons of Da Zongzheng
If you choose a decent person to be the emperor, call Li Gang as the prime minister, and use Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Rong, and Li Yanxian, the country may not be unable to recover. As for my children, please bring them together, mother and son.
Take it to the southeast and become a free clan... In this way, even if I, Zhao Jiu, die, I will still be grateful! Not to mention that we, the king and his ministers, will not be in vain!"
As he said that, Zhao Jiu held Lu Haowen's hand and bowed in salute.
Lu Haowen had already burst into tears. As for the other officials, although they had different reactions, they no longer knew how to stop this official.
