Chapter 329: Joining forces

She walked out slowly, and Zhao Kuangyin frowned at her.

"Chen Qiuniang visits Song Zu." She smiled, stood in front of Zhao Kuangyin and slightly blessed her body, and then her wide sleeves were slightly covered, as if she had changed her face.

Zhao Kuangyin was slightly surprised. Although he has read countless people and seen many beauties, he has never seen such a woman who is peerless, childish, her eyes are as clear as autumn water, and her eyes are extremely sharp.

"Qiu Niang!" Fei Xiaolian exclaimed, and then said to herself, "A-Niang is tired of you." ”

"Why should the mother blame herself. Song Zu is far-sighted, even without you in hand, he has the confidence to trap his son on this island. She said with a smile, Shi Shiran stepped forward and supported Fei Xiaolian, undisguised that he was a descendant of the Meng family.

When the bearded general heard that this woman was a thief, he drew his knife in his hand and was eager to try. Chen Qiuniang glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Just rely on the general's talent, you have to do stupid things." ”

"You!" The bearded general shouted hatefully.

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand to signal the beard to retreat, and only asked Pan Yun, who hurried in, whether this woman's face was real. Pan Yun stared at Chen Qiuniang and looked at him carefully, Chen Qiuniang glanced at him, her eyes were bright and soft, but Pan Yun only felt a chill down his back, as if he had been calculated.

"Qi Yu Majesty, it is this woman." Pan Yun confirmed.

Zhao Kuangyin heard that it was Chen Qiuniang, so he took a shelf, and blamed very Qiuniang unhappily for not saluting when he saw him. Chen Qiuniang laughed and replied: "My father is also the king of a country, how can I worship the gift of killing my father's enemy." ”

"Now you're a prisoner." Zhao Kuangyin pointed out this fact.

"Song Zu also knows that my current husband's surname is Zhang." Chen Qiuniang proudly pointed out this fact. Zhao Kuangyin was furious, flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Don't take the Zhang family to suppress me." ”

"It is not known who is the prisoner. The Liao people outside the city besieged the city, and Song Zu knew why he besieged it but did not attack it? Chen Qiuniang asked loudly.

"You colluded with the Liao people, and since then, the Zhang family has been connected to the ten clans." Zhao Kuangyin said coldly.

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "Song Zu's position is owned by the Zhang family, and the position of the Liao people is also owned by the Zhang family. ”

"All the people of the world will look at it." Zhao Kuangyin got up and pointed angrily at the sky outside the hall.

"Don't splash me with dirty water. If the besiegers ask me to withdraw by name, you will have to pay it. Chen Qiuniang pointed out that what Zhao Kuangyin said was powerless.

Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly and said, "At least the Liao people have withdrawn." ”

"What about the Northern Han? It is said that the people of the world regard you and the Northern Han Dynasty as their own family. Chen Qiuniang said.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't speak, just looked at her, the anger on his face gradually grew, and he moved his lips to say something cruel, but after all, he didn't say it because of the identity of the Son of Heaven. After a while, he said to the bearded general, "Take these two women down, and you will also retreat." ”

The bearded general was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that His Majesty was letting him take away the Fei sisters. He hurriedly took the order to take away the two character beauties and evacuated the soldiers outside the courtyard.

"Pan Yun, you can step down too." Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand.

Chen Qiuniang still stood in place, standing proudly. She had carefully analyzed it when she was lying in the bamboo forest, and if she negotiated with Zhao Kuangyin, her chances of winning would be much greater.

"Song Zuping retreated left and right, which shows his sincerity." Chen Qiuniang said.

Zhao Kuangyin pointed to the second couch and said, "Sit." ”

"Xie Songzu." Chen Qiuniang still insisted on Song Zu, firstly, she was unwilling to kneel down to worship this person, and secondly, for the sake of the real Chen Qiuniang's face, after all, this person was the enemy who killed her father.

She thanked her and sat down on the couch. Zhao Kuangyin looked at her scrutinizing and asked: "The girl is a little bit unshaved, I want to ask, if the girl is in charge of the world, she will be happy because of the wealth and glory of the world, or something else?" ”

"Song Zu won the award. Although I am a woman, I also know that with great power comes great responsibility. For the king, how to be happy. When you are in charge of the world, you will worry about the people in the world, the peace of the society, and the happiness of the people. Chen Qiuniang replied.

"The girl is worthy of being the new head of the Zhang family, and her insights are different from ordinary boudoir women. However, the girl can know: since the Anshi Rebellion, the feudal towns were divided into disasters, and by the end of the Tang Dynasty, the society collapsed, the rites and music collapsed, starvation was everywhere, the people were not able to make a living, and cannibals abounded. Have you ever heard of such a tragedy? Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"Although I was born in Shu, I have also read classics, talked with people who traveled from south to north, and even discussed with my husband about the shape of the world. And for more than a year, I also personally went north to see the suffering of the Central Plains. What Song Zu said, Qiu Niang knew it. Chen Qiuniang replied.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded approvingly, and said, "Since the girl knows, can she know the battle to stop the war?" ”

Chen Qiuniang chuckled and said: "Song Zu is indeed an outstanding military strategist, but the person who ended this troubled era is Shizong, and the person in charge of the country is the Chai family. ”

"The world is initially decided, the various forces are intertwined, and the girl thinks that a little baby can take on the life of the world and calm the Quartet?" Zhao Kuangyin said loudly.

Chen Qiuniang sighed and said, "Song Zu asked himself, never because of his own selfishness? ”

"No, the Chen Qiao mutiny is really a last resort." Zhao Kuangyin replied loudly.

"Then now, why do you want to kill the Zhang family, and why do you want to hide the treasure map?" Chen Qiuniang asked slowly.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at her, then paced back and forth, and finally walked to the door of the main hall to look at the round of Langyue, and said, "Standing in this position overlooking the world, I don't want to come down again." Zhang's, the tiger on the pillow, how to sleep peacefully. ”

"If the Zhang family wants this world, a Zhang Yongde can deal with you, why do you want the Zhang family to take action? When the Zhang family helped you reach the top, there would be no reason to take it back, unless you are too ignorant. Chen Qiuniang said later, her tone was full of sarcasm.

"You're presumptuous." Zhao Kuangyin shouted.

"Song Zu is annoyed and angry? As far as I know, you coveted Zhang's firearms, Meng's treasures, and sent many people to assassinate Zhang Ci. Do you think that if the most capable person of the Zhang family dies, the Zhang family will not be able to take it, and the firearms will be easy to obtain, and the Zhang family will be at your disposal. You've got a good idea. I can remember how many times my husband was assassinated by you. Chen Qiuniang sneered.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the woman in front of him as if he had pierced a hole, and he remembered the young man's face, and felt that Fang Cai's self was really ridiculous, and he tried to tell this woman about the world to move her. She was the woman chosen by the young man, how could she be a general.

"If you are in my position, I am afraid that you will be more unscrupulous than this." Zhao Kuangyin said angrily.

Chen Qiuniang laughed and said: "It's just a rotten rat, if my husband wants it, don't say that your Song family dynasty is owned by him in the four seas." Now, I just want to ask Song Zu, you are bent on destroying my husband, thinking that my husband covets your position in the world. Have you ever heard of the Nine Great Families? ”

When Zhao Kuangyin heard her mention the Nine Great Families, she was alert in her heart. Just half a month ago, several elders of the Nine Great Families found him, saying that their Nine Great Families had been ordered to protect the Chosen One of the True Dragon Heavenly Son since ancient times, who knew that the patriarch of this generation was going against the sky for a demon girl, intending to kill the True Dragon and replace it, they couldn't stop it, so they had to show up and talk to him to discuss how to deal with it. And the person in charge of the nine major families is his own henchman, Zhang Ci, the patriarch of the Zhang clan with a firearm, and the demon girl is Chen Qiuniang, the princess of the Meng family.

He didn't trust the Nine Great Families, but he was able to deal with his long-standing troubles, so he chose to cooperate with them. It was also at this time that he saw how terrifying the Nine Great Families were, and it was also this cooperation that made him realize that most of his ministers and generals were from the Nine Great Families, and his situation turned out to be walking on thin ice, as if he was a puppet in the hands of the other party. What a real dragon genius, it's ridiculous, in the eyes of the other party, it's just an ant.

He was silent, but Chen Qiuniang smiled and said, "Looking at Song Zu's appearance, he must have seen those old guys from the Nine Great Families." ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, and Chen Qiuniang continued: "The skills possessed by the nine major families, no matter which one of them, can easily overturn His Majesty. ”

"I know. In this life, I have no choice but to do so. As the emperor, he tried his best to make the people happy and the world was peaceful. However, it is ridiculous to learn that the Nine Great Families know that they are like ants on someone else's chessboard. He shook his head, feeling powerless.

Chen Qiuniang looked at him, and couldn't help but be stunned, remembering that she was so depressed when she was watching fate, and she had a little more sympathy for Zhao Kuangyin in her heart, and slowly spit out a sentence after a long time: "In the past, I talked about the world with my husband." He thought that the Nine Great Families should no longer exist in the world. ”

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, the girl's face was calm, her expression was firm, her eyes were serious, and she didn't look like she was lying or joking.

Chen Qiuniang looked at him and continued: "My husband said that because of the cause planted by the ancestors' selfish love, it should also be borne by the selfish love. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was confused when he heard it, but Chen Qiuniang herself understood it very well. Last time in Cangzhou, one night, she couldn't sleep, so she got up to find water to drink, but saw Zhang Ci sitting by the window looking at the starry sky.

She approached, but before she could speak, he said out loud: "Yun'er, as you said, the ancestor is a soul that travels through time and space, and because he fell in love with Chen Ajiao, he brought his future talents to a time and space where he shouldn't. So, shouldn't the nine families save zài? ”

Chen Qiuniang was speechless for a while, because she really didn't know what was reasonable and what was not unreasonable. So, she stood behind him, a meter away from him. When he saw that she had not answered, he stood up abruptly, and took her into his arms as the wide robe flew away, and the bright starry sky was outside the window.

"Youqi, I don't know what should and shouldn't. Or it is reasonable to exist, we are not gods, we can only act according to our hearts. She said slowly in his arms.

"Do things according to your heart." He muttered repeatedly.

"Hmm." She whispered.

When he let go of her, his expression was still like the powerful patriarch of the Zhang clan, and he was clearly a confused child. Chen Qiuniang held him in her arms with her backhand, and said: "Because of the cause planted by the ancestors' selfish love, it should also bear this fruit by selfish love." ”

Chen Qiuniang didn't quite understand, so she asked, "What's the solution?" ”

Zhang shook his head and said, "I vaguely feel that I shouldn't be in this world. However, I am afraid that without the Nine Great Families, I will not be able to protect you. At this time, I understood the hearts of my ancestors very well. Because of holding a sharp weapon, Liu Che can be jealous, and because of holding a sharp weapon, he can protect what he loves. ”

"However, he has no internal resistance; And now, there is a rift within the Nine Great Families, and our situation is more difficult than his. Chen Qiuniang sighed.

Zhang Ci didn't speak anymore, looking very confused. Chen Qiuniang didn't speak, just sat by the window with him and looked at the bright starry sky in a daze. After a long time, he said, "It would be good if I could go to your hometown, but I am very annoying to be disturbed here." ”

Chen Qiuniang was even more helpless in her heart. Originally, if it was an ordinary person, it was to find a rural retreat. But the two of them are not ordinary people, even if they change a thousand faces, they can't escape.

She had to sigh too. Zhang Ci stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, saying, "Don't worry, there will always be a way." ”

"I don't understand." Zhao Kuangyin asked.

Only then did Chen Qiuniang restrain her thoughts and said, "This is the secret of the nine major families, and it is inconvenient to reveal it to Song Zu. But my husband also praised Song Zu for being a person who cherished the common people in the world, if it weren't for your hard work, he would never want to be your enemy. His life's wish is that the world will be peaceful, and he will hold hands with me until he is old, and his children will be in groups. Power and wealth, he has no intention. However, if Song Zu insisted on putting him to death and becoming a puppet in the hands of the elders, this was also Song Zu's choice. ”

Her words were clear, and Zhao Kuangyin's heart was greatly shaken. I secretly thought that this woman was so intelligent that she could know how he felt when he negotiated with the group of elders. Yes, when he talked to the elders, he always felt like he was being treated like a puppet.

"The left and right are all between Song Zu's thoughts." Chen Qiuniang looked at Zhao Kuangyin for a moment of distraction, and reminded loudly.

Zhao Kuangyin raised his eyes to look at the girl in front of him, frowned slightly, and asked, "What are the benefits of joining forces with you?" ”

Chen Qiuniang chuckled and said, "What Song Zu wants is nothing more than 'the world and freedom'." The elders can't give it to you, but the Zhang family can give it to you. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was silent. He used to devote himself to fighting horses, just to get ahead and not be bullied; Later, he fought bloodily, just to keep the peace of the people. had to go through the Chen Qiao Mutiny and finally ascended to the throne, and he was flustered at first. But he quickly calmed down, believing that he should "stop the war with war", end the secession with a strong military, and usher in a peaceful and prosperous era for the people of the world. At that time, he was full of fighting spirit, and naively believed that by getting rid of those forces that hindered military power, he could truly control the world. So, on the one hand, he tried to maximize the majesty of his army, and tried his best to build the most powerful military empire of the Song Dynasty in the absence of gold and silver, and on the other hand, he cultivated real henchmen and secret guards, and planted eyeliner in places where the imperial iron cavalry had not yet arrived, forming a huge intelligence network.

A picture of the world is in hand, and the blueprint of prosperity and peace is conceived in his mind. Zhao Kuangyin has always been a calm man, but when he began to sketch such a blueprint, he couldn't stop crying.

Hold the splendid country in one hand and personally create a prosperous world. Anyone would be thrilled by such an ideal. He is no exception, for such an ideal, he is familiar with military books, learn from the sages, open up the way, understand the people's feelings, and at the same time, many times the royal conquest.

He dreamed of completely destroying the feudal town and holding the family in his hands. He tried his best, but in the end, he understood the existence of the Nine Great Families, and understood that all his qiē was illusory, and it was all the charity of others.

What the world is, what great kings, are all illusory! Zhao Kuangyin was instantly defeated like a mountain, and he was locked up in the Chinese army tent for three days. On the morning of the fourth day, when he walked out of the tent, looking at the rising sun on the riverside, he knew very calmly that he wanted the world and freedom, although at that time he was still at a loss.

Now, the girl in front of him said lightly what he wanted most. He was inexplicably excited, but even more terrifying. Why did this girl think that it had pierced his heart? So, he said coldly: "Don't be self-righteous. ”

"Song Zu knows that those old guys are old-fashioned, and they will not give you freedom." Chen Qiuniang said patiently. The more she invented in her heart, how to solve this dilemma, Zhao Kuangyin was the biggest breakthrough. Although he is a king of the nine major families that can be easily replaced, as long as he is the Son of Heaven after all, he has a strong appeal. The soldiers in Bianjing City still looked forward to this military emperor.

"How can I believe you?" Zhao Kuangyin no longer hid it, but asked directly.

"The lesser of two evils, Song Zu didn't choose. And the mother of Qiu Niang is in your hands. Chen Qiuniang smiled.

Zhao Kuangyin lowered his eyes, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at her and did not speak. But Chen Qiuniang knew the choice of this founding king, and she smiled. R1152
