In the ninth year of Shaoxing, the famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty against Jin, the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu made Wu Jue die of illness in Xianren Pass, and the imperial court immediately ordered Hu Shijiang to take over his position. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Hu Shijiang was originally a civil minister, and the Sichuan-Shaanxi army was led by Wu Xuan, Yang Zheng, and Guo Hao, the younger brothers of Wu Yu. Wu Lan served as the commander of the right guard army and stationed in Xingzhou, Yang Zheng served as the commander of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Division and stationed in Xingyuan Mansion, and Guo Hao served as the Privy Council commander and stationed in Jinzhou. Hu Shijiang will sit in the yamen of Xingyuan Mansion, and Yang Zheng will live in the Command Mansion.

The yamen sits in the north and faces south, and is divided into three parts: front, middle and back. At the front is the lobby, the deacon's room, the undertaker's office, the public office, etc. Behind the lobby is the second hall, behind the second hall there is a pavilion, through the pavilion that enters the inner house (court), the inner house is composed of the left and right gatehouse, the left and right corridor room and the back hall (three halls), the gatehouse is the official house on both sides, the scale of the back hall is similar to the lobby, it is the place to receive superior officials and discuss important political affairs. The side courtyard in the east of the back hall is the residence of the family members of the Xuanfu envoy. Behind the back hall, there are forest garden flower beds, pavilions and water pavilions, which are places for political rest and rest. The last is the back house, the east side of the back house is the side courtyard, the west side is the horse number, and the northernmost side is a field, which is the place where the officials practice.

As soon as she entered the side hospital, Hu's mother and her sister-in-law came out with a group of people. The old man looked at the handsome and beautiful girl beside his son, smiling all over his face, the wrinkles on his face became more abrupt, and his heart was even more happy. The sister-in-law also nodded with a smile, but the little nephew Hu just called "second uncle" and timidly hid behind his mother, revealing a small head and blinking a pair of black eyes, perhaps because he saw that Yang Qi was a little scared.

Everyone entered the living room and sat down, and the maid served the brewed tea. Hu Dingguo gave a detailed introduction to everyone, but Yang Qi only said that he was from Tanzhou, and his parents did not say a word. When the sister-in-law heard that Yang Qi and her mother's family were actually her own family, she affectionately called her sister, and Yang Qi also called her sister happily. Mother Hu wanted to ask about Yang Qi's parents and family background, but her son didn't seem to have any intention of talking about it, and it was inconvenient to ask more when they met for the first time, so she temporarily put it in her heart. At this time, Hu Shijiang may have received a report from his subordinates, and he also came from the lobby, followed by Hu Anbang, and Hu Dingguo made introductions respectively.

Hu Shijiang saw that Yang Qi was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he was more than worthy of his own son, but from the point of view of his demeanor, it seemed that it was not all the same, so he asked: "Miss Yang, I don't know what Ling Zun does for a living?"

It's really that pot can't be opened, Hu Dingguo wanted to explain it to his parents in detail in the future, but his father couldn't bear it. Yang Qi glanced at Hu Dingguo, Hu Dingguo also had an expression of ignorance, Yang Qi had to smile and said: "The little girl's family lives on the shore of Dongting Lake, and her family has been fishing for a living for generations. ”

"Oh!" Hu Shijiang replied thoughtfully. Hu Dingguo's face looked a little cramped and uneasy, and when he looked at his mother's face again, it seemed to be much darker, and he seemed to be unhappy in his heart.

Hu Dingguo brought Yang Qi home, and his meaning was already clear, if it wasn't for the relationship between men and women, the girl's family could not follow the man to the house alone. In fact, the marriage of men and women in ancient times paid attention to "the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", at this point, Hu Shijiang was relatively enlightened, and he did not mean to force his son, maybe he loved the younger son, otherwise how could he let Hu Dingguo choose the west a while ago, and he must have married his daughter-in-law a long time ago. In addition, ancient marriages also pay attention to one point, that is, they are the right people, just like Hu Anbang's wife Yang is actually the sister of Yang Zheng, who is the commander of Xuanfu Sidu in Sichuan and Shaanxi. The children of official families rarely intermarry with the common people, and some of them are also concubines, and there are very few main rooms.

Yang Qi Bingxue was smart, and when she saw the change in the complexion of Hu Shijiang and his wife, she understood the roughly. In order to hide his embarrassment, Hu Dingguo told his parents that he was a little sleepy after a long journey, and led Yang Qi to retire first.

After the two left, Hu Shijiang took a sip of tea and said, "This woman looks calm, and there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, not like an ordinary fisherman." ”

When the father said this, the child also felt that this Yang girl had some Jianghu in her. Juan Bang took over.

"Take a chance to ask your brother and don't hurt his face. Hu Shijiang said.

"That's nature. Juan Bang replied.

After Yang Qi came out with Hu Dingguo, he was sullen. Hu Dingguo saw it in his eyes, worried in his heart, and comforted: "Xiaoqi, in time, I will definitely convince them." ”

Yang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Is it useful? Actually, you and I are people from two worlds." You are the young master of the official family, what am I? I wonder if they will lock me up if I tell my true identity. ”

Hu Dingguo hurriedly held Yang Qi's shoulders with both hands, and said urgently: "How can it be? How can it be? With me here, don't be too pessimistic! ”

"It's not that I'm pessimistic, it's Dingguo. It's all true. I don't want you to be too difficult, you know?" Yang Qi said sadly, her eyes moist.

Hu Dingguo took Yang Qi into his arms lightly, and then hugged him tightly. After a long time, Hu Dingguo said softly: "Xiaoqi, I swear to take care of you for the rest of my life and never let you be hurt in any way, please believe me." ”

Yang Qi wrapped his arms around Hu Dingguo's sturdy waist and nodded happily.

Hu Dingguo didn't convince his parents after all, Hu Shi wanted him to send Yang Qi back as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, but Hu Dingguo said that he would not marry Yang Qi in this life. Later, the father and son finally fell out, and Hu Dingguo wanted to run away from home with Yang Qi. General Hu Shijiang was afraid that he would return to Ezhou, so he pretended to compromise and promised to think about it again, and asked him to personally send an important letter to Xingzhou to hand over to Wu Lan, the commander of the right guard. Hu Dingguo was very happy when he saw that his father was moved, so he happily took the errand. As soon as Hu Dingguo left, Hu Shijiang called his eldest daughter-in-law Yang to persuade Yang Qi, but Yang Qi was helpless and left Xingyuan Mansion sadly. After Hu Dingguo delivered the letter, Wu Ling insisted on staying with Hu Dingguo for two days, but Hu Dingguo repeatedly pushed himself to have something to do, so Wu Lan gave up. After Hu Dingguo came back, he didn't see Yang Qi, he was anxious and angry, and he went to chase Yang Qi regardless of everyone's persuasion.

Yang Qi left Xingyuan, walked back according to the way he came, and everywhere he went, thinking that it was becoming a pair day by day, but now he was alone in a lonely shadow, touching the scene and being sad. I didn't know where to go for a while, so I naturally walked slowly. Three days later, in the evening, Hu Dingguo finally caught up with Yang Qi in Junzhou. When the two saw each other, they were surprised and delighted, spit out their lovesickness to each other, and poured out their sorrows.

The two took the sky as a witness and the earth as the basis, worshiped heaven and earth, made a private lifelong decision, and married Qin and Jin. That night, Yang Qi really became Hu Dingguo's woman. Yang Qi leaned on Hu Dingguo's arms, and Hu Dingguo said that he would take her to a place away from strife. Hu Dingguo understood that his parents would never tolerate Yang Qi, so he took Yang Qi to Kunlun Mountain, anyway, he hadn't seen his master for three years, and he was looking for a chance to go back to see, but his parents could only wait for the future.

Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers captured Bianjing, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. At this time, King Kang Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Nanjing Yingtianfu and changed the year name to "Jianyan". Jianyan changed the name of the year to "Shaoxing" in the fourth year, and moved the line to the prosperous and beautiful "first state in the southeast" - Hangzhou, and changed its name to "Lin'an". Lin'an means temporary settlement, which means never forgetting to wave the army to the north and restore the Central Plains.

The time is punctual and the lights are on. The three figures walked to a stop in front of an official residence, and by the moonlight, they could clearly recognize the two big characters "Qin Mansion".

"Clang, clang......" The knocker slammed against the shop with a crisp sound.

After a moment, there was a "squeak", and a crack opened in the door, and a head poked out, a middle-aged man about forty years old. As soon as the middle-aged man saw the three people standing in front of the door, he immediately opened the door for half a minute, let the three of them enter the house, and then looked out, then turned back and closed the door.

The middle-aged man led the other three to a side room in the west and sat down, called someone to make fragrant tea, and then bowed his hand and retreated with a few polite words, and went straight to the main room. When I came to the front of the main house, I saw candlelight reflected in the room through the window, which showed that the owner had not rested.

"Tuk Tuk-" lightly buckled three times, and said in a deep voice: "Master, the prince is here." ”

"Oh. The person in the house responded, and after a pause, he opened the door and came out, it was an old man who was more than half a hundred years old, and it was Qin Hui, the prime minister of the Great Song Kingdom. The two of them walked towards the wing room together. Walking to the door, Qin Hui whispered a few words to the middle-aged man, and then pushed the door in alone.

As soon as Qin Hui entered the door, he saw a man in white who was about a weak crown. The man was born with a full heavenly court, a round pavilion, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was also bright in the candlelight. At this time, he was sitting upright on a chair, crossing Erlang's legs, and sipping tea. There is one person standing on the left and right, and the one on the left is a tiger-backed bear, with a face like a yaksha, eyes like copper Ling, and a bald head and shirtless. The one on the right has a hand-cranked folding fan, a blue cloth robe, a lean face, high cheekbones, and a shawl.

Qin Hui stepped forward and bowed, and saluted the man in white: "General Wanyan has come from afar, and the old man has missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

"Haha, Qin Xiangguo, it's better for you to call me Wang Gongzi. The man in white smiled lightly, did not get up, waved his right hand, and motioned for Qin Hui to sit down, as if he was the master.

Qin Hui sat down on the chair on the right side of Wang Gongzi, and said with a bow: "Wang Gongzi is fortunate to be in the cold house tonight, I don't know what to order?"

Wang Gongzi didn't answer, but just took out a letter from his body and handed it to Qin Hui. Qin Hui hurriedly got up and took it with both hands, and was about to open it, but saw Wang Gongzi stretch out his hand to stop him: "Hey, this is not for you, you just have to present it to your emperor tomorrow." ”

Qin Hui smiled awkwardly and put the envelope away. Wang Gongzi looked at Qin Hui with a smile, his eyes were meaningful, but he didn't speak. Qin Hui was stared at so much that he couldn't guess the other party's intentions, so he had to laugh vigorously.

"Qin Xiangguo is now a very popular minister in the Song Dynasty, under one person, above ten thousand. Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?" Wang Gongzi said with a smile.

Qin Hui hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "This is all given by the Heavenly Pilgrimage Monarch, and the old decay is always remembered in my heart." ”

"Haha, it's good to know. If my Dajin wants to return to Saibei, I'm afraid that someone will worry about the throne of Qin Xiangguo. ”

"The old man understands, the old man understands. I also hope that the prince will say a few kind words in front of the marshal. Qin Hui said tremblingly.

Wang Gongzi got up and said, "Qin Xiangguo is a smart person, you don't need me to teach you what to do." Alright, that's it for tonight. With that, he walked out, and two of his attendants followed.

Seeing off the three princes, Qin Hui returned to the room and took out the letter, flipped it back and forth, frowned and fell into deep thought. Seeing her sad face, Mrs. Wang came over and said, "Why is the master bothered?"

Qin Hui glanced at Wang, but did not answer. Wang also said: "As the saying goes, when the Tao is interrupted, it will be chaotic. The old man has always been a decisive man, why is he so worried tonight. ”

"Smack!" Qin Hui stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, and said, "That's it." Then he got up and opened the door and went out, calling a few more "Qin An", and the middle-aged man from before trotted over and asked, "Master, what do you command?"

"Go to the study with me with the lamp. Qin Hui said. Qin An responded.

The two came to the study, Qin An grinded ink, Qin Hui spread out a post, and after a little thought, he "swished" and worked hard to write.

The next day, Qin Hui went to court with a chapter and a letter. In the court, Qin Hui presented the recital to Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, who took a cursory look at it and put it aside. After retiring from the dynasty, Zhao Gou left Qin Hui, and the rest of the ministers and officials all retreated.

Zhao Gou looked at Qin Hui, and then looked at the note on the desk and said, "There are important things on Aiqing's recital table that I want to submit to me, what is it?"

Qin Hui took out the letter and presented it to Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou took a slight look, then opened the envelope and took out the letter to look at it silently. After reading it, Zhao Gou's face turned pale, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get this letter?"

"Back to the emperor, this is the secret envoy of the Jin people who handed it over to Weichen last night. Although Qin Hui had never read the letter, he had guessed the contents of the letter with his cleverness.

Qin Hui saw that Zhao Gou's eyebrows were lightly locked, and his face was solemn, as if he was preoccupied, so he said: "The ministers are afraid of discussion and peace, and the first rat is at both ends, so how can they decide major matters." If the emperor is determined to make peace, please discuss it with Weichen and do not allow the ministers to interfere. ”

Zhao Gou heard Qin Hui's words, and said: "I specially sent Aiqing to preside over the matter of peace. ”

"Wechen is afraid that there will be inconvenience, and I hope that the emperor will think carefully for three days, and then allow Wechen to report to you. Qin Hui knew that although Zhao Gou hoped to negotiate peace, he had to face the "pressure" of Yue Fei, Han Shizong and other main battle factions, and he was hesitant for a while.

Zhao Gou nodded silently, and Qin Hui retreated. After that, all day after that, Zhao Gou's mind was full of things on the letter, the tea and rice were not fragrant, and he couldn't sleep at night after going to bed at night, tossing and turning for a night.

Three days later, Zhao Gou summoned Qin Hui to the Imperial Garden, Zhao Gou mentioned the matter of peace, but Qin Hui said: "Weichen is afraid that there are still inconvenient places, please ask the emperor to think about it carefully, and Rong Weichen will report to you in three days." ”

Where can Zhao Gou survive for three days, his heart is like a big stone hanging, he just hopes that it will fall to the ground soon, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't think about it, I have made up my mind." Aiqing just needs to do it quickly. ”

Qin Hui saw that Zhao Gou's attitude was firm, and it seemed that he couldn't wait, so he took out the peace letter he had drafted and presented it to Zhao Gou, and repeatedly asked that the ministers should not be allowed to intervene. Zhao Gou nodded again and again while looking at the peace request, and agreed to all of Qin Hui's requests. Subsequently, the two conspired together, and the goal was directly aimed at Yue Fei, the most courageous commander of the Song army at that time.
