The autumn wind is rustling, the sun is warm and the sun is setting, and in the evening, the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou Weizhen County, Huainan East Road, Song Dynasty is where light and shadow intersect, and the air is refreshing and warm.
Not only that, at this moment, in this huge building complex that is both a temple and a palace, you can see fully armed soldiers and nobles in royal robes everywhere. You can see how many civil and military ministers of the Song Dynasty are looking at them.
They are stationed here. Among them, the highest position of the apse hill is tightly guarded and orderly. Looking from a distance, you can actually see several three-sided dragon banners fluttering in the wind.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that this thing is called the Jinwu 纛痓, which is exclusively used by the emperor. The presence of the dragon 纛 here means that the official family of Zhao and Song Dynasties are also here.
Such a situation cannot be said to be rare. After all, the officials of the Song Dynasty have always had a tradition of believing in Taoism. The previous official of the Song Dynasty was even known as the Taojun Emperor, and the Mingdao Palace where the Taozu's court is located was also built by Zhenzong.
, so it seems to be unusual for officials from the Song Dynasty to come here in person to make sacrifices.
However, unlike the grand occasion when Emperor Zhenzong came here to worship Taoist ancestors, at this moment, the atmosphere in this royal garden is somewhat solemn and solemn... There are too many armed generals and soldiers.
The civil servants of the Song Dynasty who always liked to dance and write were not at all interested in entertainment. Instead, after meeting each other in twos and threes for a drink, they could not hide their worries.
Of course it’s hard to hide!
Let us also say that since Jingkang, the Jin soldiers invaded the south, the two saints hunted in the north, and rebellions continued in various places. The Song Dynasty was actually on the verge of life and death, and the worry of national subjugation was by no means unfounded.
What is even more distressing is that at this time of crisis, an unprovoked disaster happened to the Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty who had just ascended the throne for just over two months. The Zhao family has always been upright, so a few days ago, the Zhao Guan family
When the ceremonial guard passed here to Huaidian in the south to prepare for the war against the Jin Dynasty, they could not help but pay homage to the Taoist ancestor Li Er of Mingdao Palace. However, after the visit, the young Zhao Guan family visited the garden scenery in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
He fell headlong into the Nine Dragon Well near Mingdao Palace and fell into a coma for a while!
Of course, he just fainted. Zhao Guan's family woke up after half a day, and the two prime ministers also visited him.
But the problem is that after Zhao Guanjia, who is young and strong and can ride a half-day horse and pull a stone and five bows, wakes up, he obviously acts as usual, but does not continue to go south according to the original plan. Recently, he is only accompanied by Kang Lu, the chief officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
I just showed my face publicly and did not take any further action.
You know, after the official ascended the throne in Nanjing two months ago, there was a fierce struggle at the top of the court. An admonishing official died, two imperial students were killed, and a prime minister was dismissed. Only then did he decide to go south to Huaihe River.
It is a national policy to transfer to Yangzhou. Moreover, during this trip south, the Queen Mother has already gone to Yangzhou first, and there are many members of the royal family accompanying her. Several important ministers who are financially capable have also gone to Huaiyang to raise money and food in the Jiangnan area.
They all went to the surrounding areas to quell the rebellion in order to find a peaceful road. Even the guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to the front to clear the way... But the most important and fundamental government officials and the court's civil and military forces had just left Nanjing.
What's the point of stopping here in Bozhou after starting a journey of less than a hundred miles?
As a result, walking here was a moment of panic.
There are rumors that although the official did not hurt his body that day, his brain was damaged. He could not even remember Concubine Pan and Kang Yaban. He might even have become Emperor Hui of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the husband of the East and West Prefectures
Of course he didn't dare to leave with Kang Yaban from the Ministry of Internal Affairs; there were also rumors that the officials believed in Taoism after all. Therefore, after this incident, he actually suspected that the fall into the well was a special warning from Taozu to persuade him not to go south, so he changed his mind for a while.
I have the intention to stay in the Central Plains to fight against the Jin, so I am hesitant!
Not only that, for example, Kang Lu took the opportunity to imprison an official, and implemented the strategy of replacing the official with a raccoon demon; another example is that the Taoist ancestor asked a dream to instruct the divine generals to come down to earth to help... Various absurd theories, as they stopped here in Bozhou Mingdao Palace.
The movement becomes more and more bizarre.
It can only be said that after Jingkang, this was the only orthodox member of the Song Dynasty royal family, otherwise something might have happened.
"Hello archery everyone!"
Just when people everywhere were panicking, at the highest apse, which was also the center of the whirlpool, I saw officials bending their bows and setting targets under the dragon's banner before sunset, shooting two barrels of arrows in a row before stopping and waiting.
Ban Kanglu, the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was nearby, hurriedly came forward to flatter and asked, "Are you going to have dinner with the Banzhi today?"
"Why not?"
The so-called official was wearing a red round-necked arrow shirt, and he was only about 20 years old. He was tall and handsome, and he seemed to be a direct descendant of the Zhao family. He just smiled slightly when he heard this, but he didn't seem to care. "
Or is there something wrong with the high official here?"
"What can happen to our family?" Kang Daguan, who is about 30 years old, is currently the only eunuch in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He has always mastered forbidden and confidential texts, which is equivalent to the pen-writing eunuchs of later generations.
An important person in general, he couldn't help but clasp his hands and sigh after hearing this. "It's just that Mrs. Pan came to ask our family just now. She said that she hadn't seen the official family for many days and missed her very much. We thought..."
When Zhao Guanjia heard this, he held the bow in his hand and smiled awkwardly. Instead of answering, he turned his head away.
"Besides, didn't everyone say they wanted to eat ice cream after they were injured?" Upon seeing this, Kang Lu hurriedly walked around to the other party and continued to talk with his sleeves folded. "Ms. Pan is specially cooking today and has cooked it for everyone. You might as well go.
On this trip, I also want to meet the emperor’s heir!”
"Yeah?"
The young official was slightly startled, but he hesitated for a moment, but soon he came back to his senses and sighed softly. "Forget it. Just bring some ice cream. I will have dinner with Ban Zhi today."
use……"
"Official!"
Kang Lu was so anxious that he even showed affection to the "everyone" who had always been the only one he could use in the industry. He said, "Ms. Pan made it by herself. How can it be used by the class members? What's the etiquette of this?"
You are an official, so you can no longer dine with the Banzhi. If word spread, I am afraid that the ministers in other dynasties will be dissatisfied, saying that the officials despise scholars and value martial men."
"Since Jingkang, has the Song Dynasty really had any decency?" The young official did not change his mind after hearing this, but instead sneered in public. "But if there is even half decency, how can it reach this point today? As for what scholars are and what dissatisfaction they are,
I don’t see them being dissatisfied with the Jin’s cavalry, but why are they dissatisfied with me?”
After saying that, Zhao Guanjia no longer paid attention to each other, but walked out of the back hall. Kang Lu was just about to follow, but unexpectedly, several saber squad members who were standing beside him got up to follow, directly blocking Kang Da.
Official's way.
Kang Lu rarely lost his composure and panicked, and quickly signaled to a light-armored officer next to the palace door. When the tall, majestic young officer saw this, he lowered his head slightly, and finally got up and followed the imperial Song official.
, that is, their nominal master.
Let's talk about those sword-wielding squads who seemed to be able to hold on to Kang Lu, but they obviously showed a lot of respect for this man. Instead of blocking him, they just got out of the way. Walking in front, he caught a glimpse of this man with the corner of his eye.
Zhao Jiu, an official of the Song Dynasty, saw this scene and his expression did not change at all, but continued to look outward calmly.
However, after walking out of the hall, Zhao Jiu was not in a hurry to find anyone to eat with. Instead, he stood on the slope of the back hall and looked around for a long time. He probably thought that Kang Lu had already gone to deal with those confidential texts, and then suddenly turned back. , gave an order to the young officer following behind:
"Excuse me, Yang Sheren, please go out and get Concubine Pan's ice cream for me, and then thank me for your hard work."
The so-called Yang Sheren were caught off guard, so they could only respond in public, turn around and leave, while Zhao Jiu and Zhao Guan's family also walked towards the military camp where the sound of horses could be heard coming from a place down the hill.
That’s right!
It was Zhao Jiu, not Zhao Jiu. The official family of the Imperial Song Dynasty was really taken over by someone just like the rumors! Official Kang and the young officer, Yang Yizhong, the chief minister of the same family, were killed. The two were civil and military. The "concern" shown by the imprisoned powerful figures towards this official who was "recovering from a serious injury" is really not overstepping the mark, but is really commendable for his loyalty!
If Zhao Gou's soul is still on something, I'm afraid he will be moved to tears.
Of course, the only problem is that the evildoer who took away the official Zhao Song family was not some civet cat that became a spirit, but a mortal who even he thought was innocent, a mortal nine hundred years later!
I thought this guy just went home to apply for household registration after graduating from college, and went to the Taoist Temple for a while, just to help an old Taoist priest rescue a dog from a cement Kowloon well, but when he came back to his senses, he became Zhao Song Guan's family...who should I talk to?
Talk to Taishang Laojun?
Will Taishang Laojun ridicule him: What happened to you in Li Er Temple has anything to do with me, Taishang Laojun?
In fact, to be fair, a time-traveler becomes an emperor through time-travel, and he is still an emperor who has just ascended the throne at the age of twenty-one. If there really is a mastermind behind the scenes, he can be regarded as worthy of the time-traveler... He has been the emperor of peace for sixty years and spent twenty Isn’t it good to save money every year, build a steam engine in twenty years, colonize the world in another twenty years, marry a harem, give birth to dozens of children, raise hundreds of cats and dogs, and design a zoo in the next twenty years?
Doesn’t it smell good?
Of course the fragrance is fragrant, and Concubine Pan also smells good. But the problem is that this emperor is called Zhao Gou, ranked ninth, and later generations have always called him Zhao Laojiu. But this year's title is Jianyan. Two months ago, the name was changed after Zhao Laojiu came to the throne. In the previous six months, it was called the second year of Jingkang.
In other words, at this time, the extremely humiliating Jingkang Shame has ended, the Northern Song Dynasty has been completely subjugated, and Hebei and Hedong have been completely occupied. As for the Southern Song Dynasty, it has been theoretically established, but in fact it has not yet succeeded... The entire Song Dynasty court was actually in He followed Zhao Laojiu as he fled south, trying to find a modest foothold in Yangzhou.
In this regard, our time traveler Mr. Zhao Jiu saw thousands of soldiers and horses and the Huaixi Plain with no electrification facilities. He asked and verified again and again in a relatively smooth Central Plains accent, confirming that he had traveled through time, and that he had traveled successfully. After Zhao Gou got it right, he has actually been in a bad mood these past few days.
Without him, Zhao Gou and Zhao Laojiu's reputation is too bad, let alone mentioning it. The key is that the timing is even worse now! In Zhao Jiu's opinion, when traveling back two years to Jingkang, wouldn't it be good to build a second Xuanwu Sect? ?Or in the next two years, traveling to Lin'an and stabilizing directly, wouldn't it be comfortable?
Does it have to be at this critical moment during the escape?
Jin Wushu, who led an army of 100,000 to search mountains and seas, was not a fictional character!
Of course, Zhao Jiu is ignorant of history. He definitely didn't have time to build the Xuanwu Sect in the past two years. If he really traveled back in time in the next two years, his body would be that of a eunuch, and that would be a worse life. die.
All in all, this Zhao Guanjia, Zhao Gou, Zhao Jiu, or Zhao Jiu has never been in a good mood since he traveled through time.
At the beginning, I was extremely disappointed and irritable... With air conditioning, computers, and mobile phones, wouldn't Haidilao be better than a fugitive emperor? Or such an unbearable emperor in history? In fact, although this body is very healthy and young,
But he, a later generation with normal outlook, still felt a bit disgusted and uncomfortable.
And as an ordinary person, don’t you miss your home?
So, on the second night after time travel, the Zhao Guan family personally tried to dance in the Nine Dragon Well in the Daozu Temple again in order to ask for mercy from the Daozu, but they failed.
After it was determined that he could not go back, the next step was to feel sorry for himself!
How mature can a young man who was also 21 years old before time travel have just graduated from college and not even joined a job? So he started crying secretly in the middle of the night, started saying that he wanted to eat ice cream, and started losing his temper and swearing at others... It was like...
The deformation meter is just as aggrieved.
And probably because of these persistent anomalies, this time traveler naturally aroused the vigilance of Kang Lu and Yang Yizhong.
After waiting for a few days, finally accepting his fate and preparing to change his identity to survive, the newly minted member of the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty had to face a very embarrassing and tense situation:
Not to mention the officials of the Song Dynasty who wore stiff-winged futou, round-collared purple robes, red robes, and green robes, there were several major figures around them, including Ban Kang, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was roughly equivalent to the great eunuch Bingbi in later generations.
The so-called ministers are actually Yang Yizhong, the commander of the Imperial Guards; two prime ministers, Huang Qianshan, the prime minister under Zhongshumen of the East Prefecture; Wang Boyan, the prime minister of the Privy Council of the Western Prefecture; plus one who is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards.
Wang Yuan, the commander of the imperial camp... he doesn’t know anyone! He’s never heard of that!
However, considering that these are Zhao Gou's cronies, and that these people had previously assisted Zhao Gou in initiating and leading the southward escape, they must be the capitulationists who persecuted the anti-Jin Zhongliang and insisted on escaping!
Not only that, these people are obviously a little suspicious because of his early gaffes as a time traveler. Whether it is concern or vigilance, under the leadership of Kang Lu these days, there are always people keeping a careful eye on him, the official Zhao family.
Moreover, except for the appeasing appearance on the second day after arriving, Zhao Jiu had never had full contact with the memorials and courtiers.
Obviously, he was consciously isolated.
In addition, Zhao Laojiu also left Zhao Jiu with a concubine Pan and a baby who was just one month old... Well... this matter is a bit embarrassing, but it is just embarrassing, and there is no telling who gets who.
It's cheap, because Zhao Laojiu himself is most likely no longer in this world, and the new one is obviously a pure soul wearer, without any burden!
In fact, after Zhao Jiu learned that his wife and two concubines in this body were all captured by the Jin people, apart from mocking Zhao Gou in his heart for not being a man, he did not feel the slightest sympathy because he could not remember anything and had no memory fusion at all.
.
In other words, from Zhao Jiu's point of view, Concubine Pan and the baby were thrown away to raise in Jiangnan. If Zhao Gou's captured family members had the opportunity to take them back in the future, they would also throw them away in Jiangnan to raise them, which would be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth... It is still considered good.
The gift from Zhao Gou was considered a favor for a body with both civil and military skills.
Besides, if you have time to think about this, you might as well seize the time to build a good relationship with the grassroots soldiers and win people's hearts. This way, someone can help block the knife when necessary; secondly, Kang Lu and Yang Yizhong's soft control can be resolved; thirdly,
You can also use this to get and seek some necessary information...
As for keeping the official identity mysterious to maintain authority, that’s not to say it’s wrong, but just as Zhao Jiu said when he was angry with Kang Lu before, since Jingkang, can the official family of Zhao and Song Dynasties be more embarrassing?
?
But at the end of the day, there is still a big thing before the Zhao Guan family who has just left the well - if they travel through time and become Zhao Gou, don't they have to fight against the gold?!
