Chapter 016: Royal

Although it is said that the next day is the first day, it is also a day for the family to reunite with the old and the young every year. In addition, the war in Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi was quite stalemate, and the war finally did not spread to the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi, and people's hearts hanging in their chests were finally put down.

In the past few days, inside and outside Bianliang City, in the streets and alleys, and in the wilderness, at night, there are fires everywhere, and the people who go out to worship are in groups, dressed in white clothes, and everyone is crying.

"Wang Xianggong, you go all the way!"

"Wang Xianggong, brothers of the loyal and righteous army, when you get over there, are you cold, hungry, hungry, and lack of money to spend?"

"Wang Xianggong, you died so unjustly!"

In the sound of the people's weeping sacrifices, the people lived very cold in the days before the first day. Even those rich and noble families are no longer happy with the joy of the past.

Everyone is worried, Wang Song is dead, who will deal with the wolf-like barbarians in the north, and how will the people's lives continue.

Compared with the coldness of the people, within the forbidden walls of the Imperial Palace in the city of Tokyo, the major royal palaces, high-ranking officials' mansions, pond pavilions, and palace palaces in the city have a warm and cheerful atmosphere everywhere, and everywhere is full of lights, wine, singing, dancing, laughter and laughter, filling every corner.

I don't know, I thought that the court had won some big victory, and the court was jubilant. Those who knew shook their heads and sighed, these people were so elated, just because of Wang Song's death.

On the palace of the king of Yun, many royal children, royal relatives and relatives gathered together, the fragrant breeze was curling, the wine and delicacies were delicious, the fire was blazing, everyone was dressed in brocade clothes, light gauze clothes, talking loudly, laughing, and the scene was not lively.

Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was wearing a light cyan brocade robe, and there were faint beads of sweat oozing from his white forehead.

Next to him, Zhao Gou, the king of Yunkang, Zhao Shu, the king of Su, as well as the concubine Cao Sheng, the concubine Cai Ying, etc., are all brocade robes, graceful and luxurious. And Princess Rongde Zhao Jinnu, Princess Maode Zhao Fujin, Yongfu Princess Zhao Fobao and other female dependents are also fragrant sideburns and smiling on the side.

Outside, it was freezing cold, and in the places where Lianghe, Shaanxi, and Shandong were fighting, ordinary people and soldiers were freezing to death and starving to death, and even around Gyeonggi, displaced and homeless people abounded.

Now in this room, warm as spring, jade plate is shy, elixir and jade liquid, not tired of eating, not tired of fine, melon and fruit cakes, red and green, drunk and golden, but like a god in the sky.

"Third brother, I was very interested in seeing you today, I don't know why?"

Hearing Zhao Gou's question, Zhao Kai laughed softly, picked up a glass of scarlet grape wine, but did not answer.

"What else can it be for, not for that Wufu!"

Cao Sheng's face was full of smiles, his face was flushed, and he had obviously drunk a lot.

"Heaven fulfills people's wishes, fortunately, this martial artist died, and only then did the third brother breathe this evil breath. Come on, let's drink this cup together, wish the Lantern Festival together, and wish the wicked to ascend to the sky!"

Everyone laughed, raised their glasses and drank them all.

"I remembered that when the thieves besieged the city that day, it was Wang Song who saved Bianjing City. Third brother and ninth brother, why do you hate Wang Song so much?"

Princess Zhao Saiyue of Huafu is still young and doesn't know the stakes yet, so she asked while eating grapes.

"Nineteenth sister, you are still young, I don't understand the reason."

Princess Maode Zhao Fujin laughed softly: "Wang Song saved Bianliang City, and he has his credit, but he is a wicked man, flying and domineering, unruly, and innocent of death. Don't ask why. ”

Zhao Saiyue wondered in her heart, since Wang Song saved Bianliang City, how could he be a villain, and why didn't people know the reason?

"But this martial artist is also powerful, not to mention the annihilation of the most elite 20,000 cavalry of the thieves, and it also greatly injured the vitality of the Jurchens, which can be regarded as a good thing he did before he died."

Zhao Gou raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, let's have another drink." May my Great Song Dynasty never be war-stricken and always peaceful. ”

"There will never be war, and peace will always be maintained!"

After everyone finished drinking, Zhao Gou smiled and said to Zhao Kai.

"Third brother, you are only eight years old, otherwise you will chant a song today, what do you think?"

Everyone applauded, but Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "Don't do it, don't do it, no matter how good it is, it's not as good as Wang Song." Leisure is the most bitter, Hugh goes to lean on the dangerous building, the sun is slanting, and the smoke willow is broken. I don't know how Wang Song can make such a masterpiece?"

"The daughter buys the same thing, and who will complain about this situation. Wang Song's attainments in poetry, I am afraid that Su Dongpo is here, and he is beyond his reach. ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "That day in Genyue, Wang Song made this statement, and I was also dumbfounded. I remember that there was still Yuanyuan and her maid that day, and this song "Touching the Fish" seems to be written for Yuanyuan. ”

He pretended to look at it and said in surprise: "Why didn't you see Yuanyuan today, do any of you know where she went?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were shifting, Zhao Fujin waved his hand and smiled: "Don't look at me, I really don't know where Yuanyuan went?"

"Don't guess, but I know it."

Zhao Kai said loudly: "Half an hour ago, Yuanyuan went to Funing Palace, as for what's going on, you can guess."

He is in charge of the Imperial City Division, responsible for the palace ban and the Zhou Lu guard, although his power has been greatly weakened, but these trivial things are still known.

"It seems that Yuanyuan is upset with Wang Songming."

Zhao Shu shook his head and said: "Yuanyuan has a deep love for Wang Song, Wang Song's death must have hit her hard, I hope she can mourn and change."

"Then I'll have to go see the excitement."

Everyone laughed, and Zhao Fujin also stood up with a smile, and said to Princess Rongde Zhao Jinnu next to him: "Second sister, let's go together?"

Zhao Fujin and the others left, and everyone was staggered, and the atmosphere soon became warm again.

In the Funing Palace, where the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty lived, it has always been quiet and peaceful on weekdays, but today for some reason, there are faint sounds of quarrels and crying in the palace.

"Big brother, what did Wang Song do wrong, why did you do this to him? Who saved Bianliang City, who restored Taiyuan Mansion, have you forgotten these things?"

"Yuanyuan, what are you going to do. This is what the big turbans mean, and the eldest brother is helpless, don't force the eldest brother anymore!"

Zhao Huan's face turned red, and he kept stomping around in the room, shouting loudly to Princess Roufu on the side.

In the third year of Song Huizong's reign, because of the suggestion of Cai Jing, the minister of power, Song Huizong imitated the title of "Wang Ji" in the Zhou Dynasty and announced that all "princesses" would be called "emperors". This title was maintained for more than ten years, until the second year of Song Qinzong Jingkang, after the Jin people retreated, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan issued an edict to restore the old system, and still called the emperor a princess.

Cai Jing is the "head of the six thieves", and Zhao Huan naturally hates him. After ascending the throne, Zhao Huan immediately demoted Cai Jing to Lingnan, and died on the way to Tanzhou, which was later Changsha. As for the word "emperor" proposed by Cai Jing, it was immediately swept into the garbage heap of history by Zhao Huan.

Zhao Fujin and Zhao Jinnu walked in and happened to see this scene. The two hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to persuade them.

"Yuanyuan, Wang Song is a martial artist, he is flying and domineering, supporting the army and respecting himself, and it is not a pity to die! Besides, without the permission of the saint, he led his troops to Fuzhou privately, in order to save Zhiyuexiu. Are you worth it for such a deceased person?"

After Zhao Fujin finished speaking, Princess Rongde Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Huan's half-sister and wife of the concubine Cao Sheng, persuaded in a low voice at this time: "Wang Song is a husband, and he has repeatedly opposed the royal family, and it is not a pity to die." You don't have a marriage contract with him, so it's not worth worrying about. In this Bianjing City, there are many characters who have competed against Wang Song, and the second sister will look for you when you go back, and she is definitely stronger than that Wang Song. ”

"I just want Wang Song!"

Zhao Duofu pointed at everyone and said sharply: "Wang Song is dead, how unfair is the court's treatment of him." When the Jurchens besieged the city at the beginning of the day, you were all scared and wept all day long. Who saved you? Wang Song's corpse is not cold, the court has fallen into the ground, and you are also talking about it, isn't it really chilling, making the world laugh at our royal family!"

Zhao Huan's face changed slightly, he resisted his temperament, and persuaded in a low voice: "Yuanyuan, in the court, the eldest brother and the ministers almost tore some noodles, and they only won the nickname of "Loyal Miao" for Wang Song. If it is played according to the turbans, it is not "Miao Chou". Wang Song is dead, so you don't have to cling to it anymore. ”

Seeing that Zhao Duofu was in a bad mood, Empress Zhu hurriedly came up and persuaded: "Yuanyuan, no matter how good Wang Song is, the people have already gone." You should mourn and be obedient, and don't hurt your body. ”

"Who said that Wang Song is dead, why didn't I see his body!"

Zhao Duofu screamed: "If you live to see people, you want to see corpses when you die, this matter must be fake!"

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and they didn't know how to persuade them for a while.

Since that day, Jin Minghu listened to Chen Blind's hexagrams, and Zhao Duofu's spirit has inexplicably improved again. It's just that Chen's blind words made her both shocked and suspicious, although she also knew that Wang Song had died in battle.

Zhao Fujin said softly: "Yuanyuan, Wang Song has been killed in battle, and it is unknown whether the bones may have been eaten by wild dogs. For the sake of a negative man, why should you do this! ”

"You're talking nonsense!"

Zhao Duofu's face was pale, and he pointed at Zhao Fujin, his voice was sharp and harsh.

"Second sister, you wish Wang Song died tragically, he humiliated your father-in-law in public. Fourth sister, you are conceited and beautiful, that day in Genyue, Wang Song did not look at you squarely, so you went around and gossiped about him. Wang Song is dead now, you came to see his jokes, it is so shameless, I am the first in my heart to tolerate you! ”

Zhao Duofu burst into tears, she stood up, hid her face and ran out.

"Crazy, crazy!"

Zhao Jinnu's face was red, he pointed to the figure of Zhao Duofu leaving, and said angrily: "Yuanyuan, how can she talk like this, how can she talk about me like this!"

Zhao Fujin's face was slightly stunned, he shook his head and sneered: "It seems that Yuanyuan's illness is not light. For the sake of a rural villager, he actually talked nonsense like this, if it spread, I don't know what outsiders say about our royal family. ”

"Enough for the two of you!"

Zhao Huan interrupted the two of them, and said with a dark face: "Ruthless and unjust, it is really blue." What the two of you do, only the two of you know. Yuanyuan never spoke. The two of you should converge and converge. ”

Zhao Fujin and Zhao Jinnu were both stunned, and Zhao Fujin said unhappily: "Big brother, what do you mean by this, am I a long-tongued woman, what did I do to make Yuanyuan upside down, maliciously slander, and let you look at me like this?"

"Malicious slander?"

Zhao Huan sneered and said softly: "Who set the slaves to murder and killed the homeless?" Who is the one who took the robbery and encroached on the people's fertile land? Who instructed the Kaifeng Mansion public to maliciously frame him for his own business, causing the other party to be imprisoned? Do you want me to go on? ”

Zhao Fujin's face was red, and he was still arguing, but Queen Zhu came over and said softly: "Two princesses, it's not early, it's time to go back and rest."

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Queen Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "These two stick together, add oil and vinegar, and call for wind and rain, but it's enough for the official family."

Zhao Huan sneered: "Some people are stupid, in order to save the world, regardless of life and death, but leave a notoriety behind them. Some people are forming cliques for personal gain, with ill intentions and other plans. I haven't sat down yet, and someone is already ready to move. ”

Empress Zhu was startled, and the cup she had just brought to her hand "clanged", fell to the ground, and fell into several petals.
