Chapter 19 Serving the country with a naked heart and going north to resist gold (ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for reward)

When Zhao Kai, Zhao Zhi, and Zhao Duofu left Daxiangguo Temple, the heavy snow continued. The snow became heavier and more intense than during the day. The white-haired wind blew on the face like a knife cutting the face.

The three brothers and sisters of the Zhao family all put on fur cloaks, and under the escort of dozens of relatives and servants led by Huang Wuji, they walked towards the Yun Palace.

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, so although it is snowing heavily tonight, the streets and alleys of Kaifeng's inner city are still full of people. Most of the restaurants and restaurants on both sides of the street are doing thriving, and the enticing aroma of wine and food fills the streets. There are also many hawkers who are trying to shout, some sell New Year's goods, some sell snacks, and some sell all kinds of playthings, the shouting sound comes and goes, in Zhao Kai's ears, all are full of strong New Year's flavor.

The group passed by a tile gate, and a performance ring was set up outside the tile gate, and a canopy was erected on the ring, so that sumo wrestling could still be performed in heavy snow. The performance seemed to be at its most exciting, and the onlookers applauded. Zhao Kai was also attracted by this sound, glanced at it, and found that there were two coolly dressed ladies scuffling in the ring illuminated by a string of lanterns.

This is...... Zhao Kai thought about it for a while, and finally remembered, this is a female sumo!

In the Song Dynasty, folk sumo wrestling was popular, not only between men, but also between women, and even between men and women. In addition, women's sumo wrestling costumes are as light as men's, which can be described as hot and eye-catching. Therefore, all the tiles in Kaifeng Prefecture will arrange female sumo wrestling performances. During the time of Song Renzong, Sima Guang, who loved to smash cylinders, felt that such women were immoral, so he opposed it, so he was banned by Emperor Renzong. But it's already night, and the officials in Kaifeng Mansion who are in charge of this matter are off work, so no one cares, but the women's sumo wrestlers are still much more dressed than in the early years.

However, Zhao Kai saw the woman wrestling in sumo wrestling and the people of Kaifeng watching from a distance at this moment, but what he thought of was that the folk customs of the Song Dynasty were actually quite martial. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the most popular sports of the people were sumo; The second is archery!

It's a pity that such a relatively martial folk custom is difficult to transform into the combat effectiveness of the army, and even Kaifeng, the world's best capital wrapped in a tall city wall, is difficult to preserve......

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai could only sigh and continue to move forward.

Zhao Kai's palace is on the west side of Maqian Street, and the south of the palace is next to the Genyue of the palace built by Song Huizong with countless people's fat and ointment, and it is not too far from the Great Xiangguo Temple.

Because it is the Chinese New Year's Eve after dawn, even if it snows heavily, the streets of Kaifeng Province are already crowded, brightly lit, and full of strong New Year's flavor.

In this case, the three brothers and sisters Zhao Kai, Zhao Zhi, and Zhao Duofu could not ride horses, so they had to walk back to the Yunwang Mansion on Mahang Street.

Zhao Zhi was very reluctant, but because he was too cowardly, he didn't dare to resist...... In fact, he was kidnapped by his own brother. And Zhao Duofu blinked his big eyes and looked around, looking very excited, as if he regarded this trip as a game.

When Zhao Kai and his party walked along Mahang Street to the vicinity of Genyue, there were no pedestrians on the street. It's not because it's close to Zhao Ji's palace that the common people are not allowed to open shops to make a living, but that Zhao Kai's army has set up defenses in this section of Mahang Street.

The streets were full of armor soldiers wearing helmets, wearing armor, spears, swords and bows, and barricades were also set up on the streets next to Genyue.

On the side of the barricade, two large flags with a white background were erected, on which were tattooed with the eight characters of "Serving the country with a naked heart and going north to resist gold".

Behind the banner, there was a neatly arranged infantry army, all with tense faces, looking at the lively streets and alleys in front of them, everyone had tears in their eyes...... It's not that they are so excited that they cry when they think that they are about to spill blood on the battlefield and serve the country, but they are really reluctant to Kaifeng Mansion!

Kaifeng is their hometown! But they can't go either!

These people are the 300 infantry soldiers who played tricks outside the Donghua Gate that day, these Bianliangzi originally thought that they had caught up with the Xuanwu Gate, a good thing to get promoted and make a fortune, but they didn't expect to meet a mad king who really wanted to go north to fight against Jin.

It's miserable now, not to mention that the dragon's skill is gone, and you have to go to Hebei to fight with the Jin people, you will die!

Of course, they didn't dare to stay in Kaifeng Mansion...... Because the army of the Jin people is rushing to Kaifeng Mansion! Just rushed to their performance on December 22, and definitely didn't run when the time came.

In contrast, it is safer to go to Hebei. Why are they all the king's own soldiers? His Royal Highness King Yun is so noble, he shouldn't dare to rush too far ahead, right?

And in the past two days, He Guan He has also been thorough...... The king didn't really go to fight against gold, he went to betray the country and beg for mercy! The 3.3 million taels of silver shipped out of the inner treasury are bribes for the Jin people, and it is said that an emperor will be sent to the Jin people (this is He Guan's nonsense), and I don't know who it will be sent? I heard that the emperors of the official family are all stunning beauties!

"The king has arrived!"

He Guan was also standing on the edge of the barricade, neatly draped, his hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, and he was looking around with his neck stretched out - he was waiting for Zhao Kai to come back! Although the official family and King Yun did not tear their faces, but after the change of Donghuamen, who knows what will happen?

It's the most ruthless emperor's family! King Yun also had a kind of thing, at this time, he actually dared to risk his life, and only took a few guards to Daxiangguo Temple to borrow money to eat meat...... If there are three longs and two shorts, what should the thousands of people on this side of the Yunwang Mansion do?

So now that he saw Zhao Kai returning, he shouted excitedly.

Zhao Kai also saw that He Guan and the three hundred had already completed the whole team, and were ready to open the infantry army to control Jingyangmen (the north gate of the outer city of Kaifeng). So he smiled and said to Zhao Zhi and Zhao Duofu: "Twelfth brother, tenth sister, you see, that is the invincible old lady He and his 300 elite soldiers!" He said loudly to He Guan again, "Old lady, the lonely family is followed by King Xin and Emperor Roufu, and the two of them are going to Hebei with Lone!" ”

There really is an emperor!

The 300 infantry soldiers also heard this, and they also saw Zhao Duofu walking beside Zhao Kai, and they were all relieved.

There are 3.3 million goods, and there is a delicate emperor, it seems that there is hope for mercy!

If His Royal Highness King Yun succeeded in begging for mercy, the emperor would marry the official family or the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom...... So isn't King Yun's matter as the crown prince stable? The big guy is also a hero, right?

Thinking of this, these 300 slippery soldiers all straightened their chests and shouted together: "Serve the country with a naked heart and go north to fight gold!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Kai saw that these slippery soldiers were all very energetic, so he was ready to encourage them, so he stopped and said loudly, "Jun and others are the great Song Zhongliang, tonight will go out of the city with the lonely to fight the enemy, the night road is difficult, you should work hard, after arriving at Chenqiaoyi tomorrow, the lonely and the gentlemen will drink bitterly!" ”

Where to arrive? Is it Chen Qiaoyi? Is it the Chen Qiaoyi in the yellow robe of Emperor Taizu?

Hearing Zhao Kai's words, these 300 Bianliang soldiers were going crazy with joy...... Does King Yun want to betray the country and beg for mercy first, and then use the support of the Jin people to add to the yellow robe to become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?

The emperor is also the emperor!
