Chapter 229: The Princess's Car (Part II)
As early as Tanggu and Jinmen, Zhao Tanger heard a lot of bad words about his brother Zhao Gou, she still had hope for this brother in her heart at that time, so she was quite resistant to these bad words in her heart, but now when she came to Zhao Gou's side, she saw that he was far loyal and righteous, close to traitor, killing virtuous and virtuous people to get rid of dissidents, and fortunately southeast to avoid Huma, except for a few tears in public, there was no behavior of taking his father and brother's country to heart. At this time, Zhao Tanger's was still relatively simple, and she only hoped that the world would restore the peaceful order of her childhood as soon as possible, and hoped that her parents, brothers, and sisters could get out of trouble as soon as possible, but she didn't realize that she had been involved in a very dangerous political struggle!
At this time, Zhao Gou had already transferred a lot of palace maids and eunuchs to Zhao Ju'er's side, and he allocated a big mansion for her to live in. But the more people around her, the bigger the house, the more frightened and lonely Zhao Ju'er felt - this house was like a prison, and those palace maids and eunuchs did not look like living people, but just a lot of eyes and ears - closely monitoring their own eyes and ears. Among so many people, there is not a single amiable person, and there is no one who is respectable! Zhao Ju'er suddenly felt very scared, and she suddenly remembered Lin Ling's words: "The most ruthless emperor's family!" "Yes, she now has the honor she has never had in her life, but she is not happy at all. She suddenly missed the days after escaping from Yanjing and before returning to the Great Song Dynasty, although those days also suffered some hardships, but it was a very short time of freedom in her life.
She suddenly became so envious of Lin Ling, at this moment Lin Dangjia is probably soaring in the East China Sea, that is the freedom that most women in this era dare not dream of, Zhao Tanger had the opportunity to have, but in order to save her parents, she gave up. But now she suddenly found that her return to the south did not help her parents at all, because the ninth brother she had high hopes for had no such intention at all!
Fortunately, after Wen Tiaoyu came to Ying Tianfu, he was also rewarded by Zhao Gou and was able to accompany Zhao Tanger, so Zhao Tanger'er would not be trapped alone in the Shenmen mansion. But what can three women do in this officialdom? It wasn't until Zhao Goudong's lucky day that the situation changed!
Zhao Gou's eastward move was carried out under the opposition of many important ministers, and there were too many people and things to be moved, and the preparations were relatively insufficient. In addition, the Jin soldiers' rangers often broke through the Yellow River to attack Shandong, and the world was full of thieves, so when Zhao Gou traveled east, it was inevitable that such and such small chaos would occur - in fact, it was not easy for Zhao Gou to ensure that his personal guards would not defect during the southward journey.
Before going south, Zhao Gou had issued an edict to the clan: the prince and princess who are willing to move south with the car will move south with the car, and those who are willing to return to the old capital of Bianliang will return to the old capital of Bianliang. At this time, Zhao Gou couldn't take care of these relatives anymore, so he could only let them do it themselves. Of course, most of the clans chose to move south with the car, but Zhao Ju'er's decision was different.
"I want to go back to Bianliang." Zhao Ju'er said to Wen Tiaoyu: "I won't go to Jiangnan, I won't go." ”
Cui'er exclaimed: "But princess, Bianliang is very dangerous, I heard that the cavalry of the Jin people will approach there at any time!" ”
"Then I can't care about it." Zhao Ju'er's eyes were red, and she said with some sadness: "There are at least the deputy marshals of the sect who advocate resisting the Jin Dynasty and restoring the country and welcoming back their father and brother, unlike here, there are villains like Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan everywhere!" I'd rather go north and suffer than stay here and suffer. If the Jin soldiers come again and Bianliang falls again, I will move north again at most and reunite with my father, mother, and brother! ”
Wen Tiaoyu sighed lightly and said in his heart: "What a child." But he was also moved by her true feelings, and said in his heart: "It's good to leave here, now that Chen Dong and others have also been killed, Emperor Song probably killed them because they advocated welcoming back the second emperor every day." The princess also sang against his brother like this all day long, but she was afraid that she would not be treated well when she arrived in Jiangnan. Then he said: "Going to Jiangnan may not be a blessing, but going to the north may not be a disaster, but I think your brother will probably refuse to let you go." ”
Zhao Tanger said: "Didn't he have issued an edict saying that if you want to go with him, you will go with him, and if you want to go back to Bianliang, you will go back to Bianliang?" ”
Wen Tiaoyu said: "That's so, but you have a special identity, I don't expect him to let you go easily." If you say that you want to go north now, and he has a precaution, I am afraid that he will change his way to restrain you. ”
Zhao Tanger said: "Then what should I do?" ”
Wen Tiaoyu said: "Once you go east, it must be your brother's chariot and horse that will go first, and we will follow behind." As soon as he leaves, this Ying Tianfu is your most honorable, and when the time comes, if you announce that you are going north, no one may dare to stop you! It's called cutting before playing. ”
Zhao Tang'er said: "What if he asks me to go first, or if he wants me to go with him?" ”
Wen Tiaoyu said: "Then you will pretend to be sick, in short, you will be left behind." ”
It didn't take long for Zhao Gou to give an order to let Zhao Tanger'er go on a tour of the south, Zhao Tanger's pretending to be sick and asking for a delay for a day or two, Zhao Gou's heart to go south was very serious, so he didn't wait for her, he left first, leaving only five hundred guards to escort the princess of Chu. Two days after Zhao Gou left, Zhao Ju'er's car driver set off and left the south gate of Tianfu, when Zhao Ju'er suddenly ordered to stop. At that time, in addition to the five hundred guards who protected the chariot driven by the princess of Chu, there were also many officials who were left behind for various reasons - Zhao Gou left first, and most of the people he brought with him were naturally his own henchmen, so most of these backward officials were people who did not agree with Zhao Gou's political views.
At the right time, Zhao Ju'er walked out of the car and stood on the car to announce that he would not go to Yangzhou, but would go to Bianliang, and encouraged the officials and soldiers to go north with him to fight against Jin. As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.
The leader of the forbidden army was Zhao Gou's cronies, and secretly commanded several sergeants to embrace him, wanting to blackmail the princess south.
Wen Tiaoyu shouted beside him: "You sergeants, do you want to offend the princess and rebel?" Seeing this, some upright officials made accusations one after another, and the sergeants were so frightened that they did not dare to move for a while.
Zhao Ju'er was not yet twenty years old at this time, and when she saw tens of thousands of people standing around the carriage, countless pairs of eyes were staring at her, she was actually very scared in her heart, but she still mustered up the courage and said loudly: "I want to go to Bianliang, to save my parents, to save my relatives!" It's my home! I don't want to go to Jiangnan, I will never see my parents and relatives again, and I will never see my hometown by the Yellow River and the Bianhe River again! I'm going back, you ...... Are you going with me? ”
Her voice was rather timid, but when she spoke, she was so silent that everyone could hear it clearly. Several old ministers on the periphery of the five hundred guards knelt down on the spot, and the mountain shouted: "The old ministers are willing to return to Beijing from the princess to save the monarch!" ”
They took the lead, and all the officials and soldiers outside the city gate knelt down, and then the hot-blooded men in the forbidden army also knelt down, and then even Zhao Gou's henchmen didn't dare not kneel.
Zhao Ju'er was originally uneasy, but when she saw that everyone was so loyal, she felt that Wen Tiaoyu was overjoyed, and took a step forward and said: "The princess order, the car will drive north immediately." ”
The leader of the forbidden army was Zhao Gou's henchman, and he refused to move at that time, but his deputy was a hot-blooded man, and when he saw this, he grabbed it and led the horse north. The team traveled north, stopped to rest after more than ten miles, and the accompanying ministers and generals came to ask the princess for peace, Zhao Cheng'er instructed the official to draft on his behalf, and moved the book to Zhao Gou to tell him about the decision to go north, and dismissed the leader of the forbidden army and replaced him with his deputy.
Zhao Tanger's journey all the way north, and there were countless officials and heroes from all over Jingdong who came back after hearing the news, including some celebrities and important ministers. For example, Hu Yin's father Hu Anguo should go to Xingzai at the order of Zhao Gou, and when he went to Chizhou and heard that Zhao Gou was lucky, he decided to retreat in anger.
Zhao Gou received a letter from Zhao Tanger's on the road, and was furious, and sent Han Shizhong to lead the troops to chase and intercept him, asking him to detain the princess to meet him. Han Shizhong led 3,000 cavalry to rush overnight, and when he caught up, Zhao Ju'er had already gathered tens of thousands of people, and among these tens of thousands of people there were not only regular troops, but also many respected ministers. Han Shizhong didn't dare or wanted to use force, so he ordered everyone to dismount and stand by, and he went in to see the princess.
Zhao Tanger's order was announced, Han Shizhong conveyed Zhao Gou's will, hoping that she would not disobey the order, but Zhao Tanger'er took the responsibility of righteousness and persuaded him to go north together. Han Shizhong hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, the Holy Driver is the department of the sect and society, and there is no room for mistakes, otherwise there will be no monarch in the world." Shi Zhong went south to protect him, and sooner or later persuaded His Majesty to come north to meet the princess. May the princess take care and live a long and safe life. He kowtowed and left.
When Zong Ze heard about this in Bianliang, he hurriedly sent troops to protect him, and he went out more than ten miles to take this "brave and brave" princess into the city.
