Chapter 048: Royal

In Bianjing City, the palace is inside, the front palace and the apse, and the provinces and courtyards are full of forbidden troops and palace people who come and go to carry things. Cars come and go, people come in and people go out, chickens fly and dogs jump, and they are busy making a mess.

No one thought that since his accession to the throne, the first major event decided by Emperor Daojun of the Great Song Dynasty was to move the capital south.

Moving the national capital south is not a simple matter. Arrange ships, notify the government along the way, and arrange for the escort of the troops; the books and albums transported, the gold and silver money, and the treasury baggage; The royal relatives, princes and ministers, family members and slaves, etc., who went south, did not have at least half a month's effort, where could they make the trip.

The Jin army went south, and the situation was grim, and it was even more erosive than in the first year of Jingkang. If he stays any longer, the Great Song Dynasty will die sooner or later, and Zhao Ji, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, will also become a prisoner under the ranks.

Since Wang Song's death, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty has become worse and worse day by day. Without Wang Song, the old loyal and righteous army in the army has also become weak and has lost its former bravery.

The situation is eroded, Huaibei falls into the hands of the Jin, the canal is blocked, thieves are everywhere, and people are panicking. If the capital is not moved, the city of Tokyo will fall, and the transportation will be blocked.

The peace proposal sent by the Jin people was just right, so much so that Zhao Ji was a little grateful to Wanyan Zongbi in his heart. The two countries hit it off, and the Jianyan peace agreement was quickly reached.

Jianyan, the name of the era in which the old emperor Zhao Ji re-ascended the throne is exactly the same as the name of the era in which Zhao Gou moved south in history. The father and son really have a heart, and the heroes see the same.

The final peace between the Song and Jin sides was as follows:

Song Xiang Jin was a minister, and Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty, was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the two sides were called brothers;

The Great Song Dynasty ceded the land of the two rivers, with the Yellow River as the boundary in the west and north, the Song in the south and the west, and the Jin in the north and east;

The Great Song Dynasty paid 250,000 taels of silver and silk to Jin Na every year, and since the first year of Jianyan, it was moved to Huazhou every spring to pay.

Wang Song was called "Miao Chou", and his family could not enjoy any court blessings and relief, not to mention, and he had to be imprisoned.

When the peace agreement was reached, the Great Song Dynasty court began to move the capital vigorously and busily.

Every day, thousands of people ran to the Donghua Gate to sit and demonstrate, and they were either driven away by the forbidden army, or they were arrested and imprisoned, and after a few days of commotion, they quieted down.

Everyone can see that the move of the imperial court to the south is already a sure thing. Since you can't stop it, you can only go with the flow and settle down with what happens.

Outside the East Water Gate, on the Bianhe ferry, you can see dense crowds of people boarding boats every day, going south downstream, looking for new hope.

Those people who do not want to leave can only sigh and ask for more blessings.

"Go and urge, why hasn't the arranged vehicle come yet?"

Seeing the chaos in the imperial city, Zhao Ji couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "These scholars and doctors, they can't do a little trivial thing, and they don't know what they are busy with all day, it's really useless!"

"Come on, get those calligraphy and paintings quickly!"

Seeing that some of his calligraphy and paintings were pressed underneath, Zhao Ji was full of anger and cried out in distress.

The chamberlains and the forbidden soldiers hurriedly unloaded the contents of the cart and began to rebundle them.

Seeing that his calligraphy and paintings were packed in boxes and placed properly, Zhao Ji let go of his heart.

Zhao Ji thought for a while, turned around, and whispered to Cao Xun beside him: "Has Li Gang left the city to take up his post?"

Cao Xun is the son of Zhao Ji's favored minister Cao Group, and the official is a member of the cabinet and a member of Longde Palace, and he is also very favored by Zhao Ji.

Historically, after the disgrace of Jingkang, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong sent Cao Xun to abscond back to the Song Realm, and brought a letter to his son Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, hoping that his son could go on the Northern Expedition to welcome back himself and his family.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou did not rescue his father and family during the Northern Expedition, but instead reprimanded Cao Xun to other places.

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Gang has already left Beijing. He had come to tell His Majesty, but His Majesty was busy with political affairs and did not have the time to see him. ”

Zhao Ji shook his head lightly, and he also felt some emotion in his heart.

"This Li Gang, although stupid, is also loyal. He wants to move the capital to Jingzhao Mansion and wait for the opportunity to recover Hedong and Hebei, which is really scholarly. Jingzhao Mansion is located between Jin and Xia, and it is already full of rubble and dilapidated, is it a good capital? Shaanxi has been poisoned by the Jin people, how can it be a place for a long time?"

Cao Xun nodded and said, "Your Majesty said yes." Jiangning Mansion has the Yangtze River, a thousand-year-old capital, and has not suffered from the disaster of war, which is really suitable. ”

Jiangning Mansion is the city of Nanjing, which is the government of Jiangnan East Road, and is the prosperous and rich place of the Great Song Dynasty. Whether it is the population of the people or the grain output, it is the leader in China, which is equivalent to Huainan East Road and Liangzhejiang Road, and is obviously ahead of Huainan West Road and Jiangnan West Road.

In addition, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in Nanjing City, for a long time, was the political, economic and cultural center south of the Yangtze River, and Zhao Ji moved the capital here, which was not without purpose.

Zhao Ji nodded and asked in a deep voice, "Have the relocated ships and personnel been arranged?" and the eldest brother's family, they must also be arranged. ”

He paused for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "How are these days, big brother?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured."

Although Zhao Ji is not a good emperor, he still does not want to hurt his son because he loves his son and is human.

Cao Xun said in a low voice: "Your Highness, everything is fine, and the imperial grandson is not bad, and the two of them also let the villain give His Majesty a message."

launched this bloodless coup d'Γ©tat, and after seizing the throne, Zhao Ji still let his son stay in the original East Palace and worship everything as usual. Although there are a lot more guards, the entry and exit are also free, and there is no house arrest.

Zhao Ji nodded and said softly, "I hope he can understand my hard work." If the country is really destroyed and the species is wiped out, my Song royal family and hundreds of officials in the court will also suffer with the disaster. I can't watch him go wrong. ”

Seeing that the emperor's eyes were confused and thoughtful, Cao Xun whispered beside him: "Your Majesty, Princess Roufu has arrived."

Zhao Ji raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Duofu getting out of the car and walking this way.

Zhao Ji frowned, and said impatiently: "Yuanyuan, why did you come to the palace, the mansion is almost cleaned up, right?"

Zhao Duofu frowned, stepped forward to greet Zhao Ji, and stopped talking.

Cao Xun hurriedly walked away, stood in one place, and turned his head.

"Daddy, you named Wang Song's nickname "Miao Chou", aren't you afraid that Wang Song will trouble you, right?"

Her daughter's words made Zhao Ji's eyes widen and his face sank.

"Yuanyuan, why are you talking to your father like this. The nickname is the meaning of the golden man, and the father is forced to be helpless. Have you come today for anything? ”

Zhao Duofu saw that Zhao Ji's face was gloomy, and his heart was cold. She looked around and saw that there were no idlers waiting, so she whispered.

"Daddy, my daughter came today because she has something important to ask for."

"What's the matter with you, tell me quickly, Dad is very busy here!"

"My daughter is here to ask for a holy decree, please let Zongzheng Si approve her daughter's peace and departure, and her daughter is unwilling to go south."

Zhao Ji was taken aback, his eyes looked at Zhao Duofu, and his eyes were as big as eggs.

"Daddy don't be surprised, his daughter and Huang Duwei are not husband and wife, everything is a last resort. Daddy's mercy! ”

"This must not happen!"

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, flicked his sleeves, and his face turned pale.

"There are a lot of things to do about moving the capital, and my father is anxious all day long, so I have time to take care of your. Let's talk about this matter when we get to Jiangnan! ”

Zhao Duofu saw his father's face pale, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. If she goes to Jiangnan, she doesn't know if she will have a chance to see Wang Song again.

However, it is absolutely impossible for her to meet Wang Song as a woman.

Now, there is only one way to go.

"Your Majesty, don't mention the matter of peace. My daughter begged for another holy decree, begging you to release the two prisoners in the prison of Dali Temple. ”

"Two prisoners in the prison of Dali Temple?"

Zhao Ji was stunned, and his daughter's word "Your Majesty" made him inexplicably embarrassed.

"Yuanyuan, don't talk to your dad like this!"

Zhao Ji's face turned pale, and he pretended to be angry.

"What kind of prisoner is it? Tell me about it?"

He probably guessed that the two people his daughter said should be Zhang Heng and Wang Lun of the Loyal and Righteous Army.

Since the south of the Yellow River has been ceded to the Jin people, it is not a bad thing to let these two people out and let them toss and add blockages to the Jin people.

Zhao Duofu's face was calm, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, these two people were originally Wang Song's subordinates, and they were thrown into the prison of Dali Temple because of some words that they wanted to add, one is called Zhang Heng, and the other is called Wang Lun, neither of them are heinous bad people!"

Sure enough, Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Yuanyuan, my father knows about this." These two people violated the law of the country, and if their father forgave them, it would be difficult to explain to the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs. Besides, if the official violates the law, he will be interrogated by Dali Temple, and his father has no right to interrogate. ”

"Your Majesty, don't pretend to be confused."

Zhao Duofu said coldly: "The officials in Tokyo City are busy moving the capital, who can care about these things!" The officials of Dali Temple still don't listen to Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty has an edict, who dares to disobey!"

Zhao Ji's face sank, but Zhao Duofu's voice softened.

"Your Majesty, I married someone I don't like, and Wang Song is also dead, so you can help me once. I hope that Your Majesty can release the two from prison as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Duofu turned to leave, leaving Zhao Ji with an unhappy face, frowning tightly.

Looking at Zhao Duofu's figure leaving, thin and weak, and looking like he was about to fall when the wind blew, Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh.

He pondered for a while, and said to Cao Xun on the side: "You go to Dali Temple, let the officials of Dali Temple prepare, and say that I want to interrogate the case of Zhang Heng and the others."

In the Yunwang Mansion, in Zhao Kai's study, a tea cup was shattered, mixed with broken paper and dust, and the place was in a mess.

The books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the room have been moved cleanly, and the room looks empty.

Zhao Kai rolled up his sleeves and sat on the chair, his face was blue, and his forehead was full of sweat.

The subordinate in front of him stood trembling in front of him, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

"It's the meaning of Emperor Daojun, the official document under the Dali Temple, tomorrow will release those two thieves with the army!"

"How can Emperor Daojun be like this!"

Zhao Gou stood up from the chair next to him and said indignantly: "For the sake of the emperor's ascendancy, the third brother has been busy these days, and he has not been idle for a moment. He was good, but the superior was an edict and let the two thieves go! ”

Zhao Kai stood up and said with a calm face: "It's also because I've been too busy lately and forgot about it."

Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Kai and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the third brother is just like this?"

"These thieves, if they want to escape with their lives, it's not so easy!"

Zhao Kai's expression became gloomy, he walked around the room a few times, shouted a few times, and the next person hurriedly ran in.

"Go and call Wan Qiao, let him sit in the seat of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he should also make some effort!"

Zhao Gou wanted to dissuade him, but his thoughts turned, but the words came to his mouth but he swallowed them again.

"Third brother, these chaotic ministers and thieves of the Loyal and Righteous Army, everyone will be punished, and they must not be allowed to leave the capital alive, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

"Don't worry, they won't be allowed to succeed easily!"

Zhao Kai said categorically, the expression on his face was cold.

"This king will let these thieves know the fate of offending me Zhao Kai!"

"His Royal Highness King Yun, Your Majesty asked you to go to the Ruisi Palace, it seems that those ministers are not doing things well, let you supervise it."

"It's over!"

Zhao Kai picked up the teacup and drank it all.

"Brother Jiu, you also hurry over and pack up, I'll go to the palace. In the past few days, there are enough tired people to choke!"

Zhao Kai left in a hurry, Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Kai's departing figure, his eyes were confused.

"Brother Jiu, you jumped up and down, out of the limelight, don't I want to rejoice in the air!"
