Chapter 070: On board

The Bianhe River was surging, and as the boats moved farther and farther, countless men and women came out of the big boats, looking out at the vague Tokyo city walls.

Some people finally shed tears, men and women sobbed, some cried bitterly, some cried loudly, and wept together.

Many people know that the prosperity and romance of the city of Tokyo, the drunken dreams and deaths of the past, the light horses, the poetry and wine, and the light dance of the alum tower, can never come back.

The filial sons and grandsons of the Zhao and Song royal families, the scholars with wide robes and big sleeves, are all gloomy at this moment, and when they miss the past gentle years, they are also full of worries about the unknown future.

As for the people in Gyeonggi, most of them have forgotten about it.

Perhaps, they never took it to heart.

"Father, will you take a drink?"

Seeing Zhao Ji's pale face, Zhao Fujin next to him hurriedly picked up a bowl of wood rhino soup and handed it over.

As Zhao Ji's favorite and smartest daughter, she naturally knows that she should serve her father well at this time. After going south, I will definitely have to live a hard life, and I will rely on my father too much.

Zhao Ji didn't take the soup bowl, he looked at his daughter, his face was calm, and said softly: "Emperor Maode, what did your husband and wife take with them when they left the capital, can you tell me?"

The sentence "Emperor Maode" made Zhao Fujin's face immediately red. She replied hesitantly: "Father, the child only brought some things with him, and nothing else."

Zhao Ji's face became gloomy, and his voice became cold.

"That eagle was raised by Cai Yuma, right? I heard that there are hundreds of goshawks of various colors and sizes in his house, and even there are fifty or sixty eagle slaves, but these are the real things? ”

Zhao Fujin's face was flushed, and he said hesitantly: "Father, my daughter is not very clear, maybe it is......"

"Perhaps."

Zhao Ji shook his head lightly and said calmly: "You really don't know?"

"The child really doesn't know, doesn't the father believe the child?"

Zhao Fujin is still hard-mouthed. After so many years of pampering and pride, she thought she could fool the past, but she didn't know Zhao Ji's bottom line.

"Trust you, believe you, you're a ghost!"

Zhao Ji roared sharply, and the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed.

"It's already about to destroy the country and the species, and it's still so civil, martial, drunk and dreaming of death. When you arrive at Jiankang Mansion, you will go to Lingnan with your horse. Never come back!"

"Lingnan!"

Zhao Fujin's face turned pale, and he muttered: "Father, you don't want us and my wife to go to that kind of wild place, right?" Father's grace! ”

"Get out, you fatherless thing!"

Zhao Ji suddenly changed color, and the roar spread far away.

"You and your wife, who claim to be relatives of the emperor, are drunk and dreaming all day long, oppressing the good, hunting and frolicking, arrogant and lascivious, and they have really thrown themselves into the face of the royal family. Today, when the country is broken and displaced, it is still here to cover up, full of lies, and have no shameless heart, which is really unreasonable! Don't you think I'm easy to deceive?"

Zhao Fujin looked at his father with a hideous face in front of him in horror, is this still the loving father who regarded himself as the pearl of his palm in the past and personally selected his husband for himself?

"What are you doing here? Why don't you get out of here and stay with that husband of yours?"

Zhao Ji's face was pale, and the princes, princesses, and palace concubines around him were all dumbfounded.

Wang Guifei still wanted to step forward to persuade her, but Zhao Ji's cold gaze swept over, and she quickly retreated.

Zhao Fujin hid his face and ran out. The boat was silent for a while, except for the "whoop" of the oars breaking the water.

"A bunch of fools who eat and wait to die!"

It took half a day for Zhao Ji to recover from his anger. He looked at the vaguely passed Tokyo City in the south, his expression was in a trance, his eyes were black, and his heart seemed to be pressed

It's like a boulder, and it's out of breath.

With the Jurchens' ability to fight and their greed and ferocity, this Tokyo city is afraid that it will not be able to return in its lifetime.

The solemn and magnificent Imperial Palace, the bustling Daxiangguo Temple, the bustling and lively Royal Street, the autumn sound of Bianshui, the night rain of the Golden Pond, and the dilapidated but still beautiful Gen Yue......

The moment he stepped out of the gate of Tokyo, he already knew that all this was far away from him, and he might not be able to come back in this life.

One after another, the goshawks flew into the sky, densely packed and covered the sky, and it took a while for the goshawks to fly everywhere and disappear into the air.

The sound of falling into the water, mixed with the barking of dogs and cats, countless rare dogs and beasts, cats, birds, rats and monkeys, even peacocks, leopards, or corpses, or creatures, were thrown out of the boat and fell into the water. The carcasses and living creatures of all kinds were everywhere on the water, the big ones quickly sank into the water, and the small ones drowned and floated on the surface of the river, swaying and floating with the river.

"Go to the poor place of the water, and sit and watch the clouds rise. It's only been a few hours, and some people have drunk and revealed their true form. ”

Zhao Huan, who was sitting quietly, opened his eyes, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyebrows.

"Chen'er, why is it so noisy outside, how can there be so many flying eagles?"

Zhao Chen sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the city of Tokyo that had disappeared at the end, and suddenly felt lost.

"Daddy, just now Tai Weng reprimanded the Four Emperor Aunts, and then Cai Duwei and them let go of eagles, and the others threw things, that's why they were so noisy."

Empress Zhu also said in a low voice: "I heard that Cai Fuma and several princes released all the eagles they raised, there were more than two hundred in total, and it took a while to finish." There are also other birds and beasts, fish, chickens and dogs raised by other imperial relatives and ministers of civil and military affairs, and they are all thrown into the river. ”

"Playthings lose their minds and bring humiliation on themselves. What a good courtier of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Huan shook his head, leaned into the cabin again, and narrowed his eyes.

The old country is gone, and the short-lived dream of Jin Ge Iron Horse is also gone. Zhao Huan closed his eyes tightly and let out a wordless sigh.

"Broken slave, I'm sorry for you."

The corners of Zhao Huan's eyes were moist, and two turbid tears fell.

"Official, if this is the case, there is no need to be sad. Fortunately, our family stayed together, and it can be regarded as a reunion. ”

Seeing her husband's puzzled look, Empress Zhu carefully persuaded on the side.

"Lady, it's just that I'm bitter for you."

Zhao Huan's face was a little soothed, and the hands of the husband and wife were tightly clasped together.

Zhao Chen sighed in a low voice.

"The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk. The people of Tokyo City, Bianhe, and the Great Song Dynasty, I will come back one day. ”

Zhao Huan and his wife glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads with a wry smile.

In a big boat that was dragged behind, Huang Zhen's face was gloomy, and Zhao Duofu was like a bodhisattva, with no expression on his plain face.

The maid handed over a cup of tea to Zhao Duofu, and Huang Zhen snatched it and drank it all. The maid's face turned red and she wanted to refute it, but Zhao Duofu stopped her.

"Huang Duwei, don't be sad all day long and lose your temper at the princess. The imperial court issued a peace edict, and your father was trapped in Zhaozhou, and no one could do anything. ”

Huang Qianshan withdrew his troops out of the city and went all the way south, nowhere to be found. Zhang Jun was the first batch of Great Song troops to withdraw from the Daimyo's mansion, and the Jin soldiers did not stop him. Huang Zhen had already been frightened by the Jin people, and he didn't dare to wait, so he went south with the army, so as not to fall into the city of the Daimyo's mansion.

Huang Zhen's eyes widened, and he said coldly: "It's not your father, you naturally won't worry." It is said that the royal family is ruthless, and I can be regarded as a teacher. King Xiang has a dream, the goddess has no heart, princess, why do you force yourself to marry me?"

Zhao Duofu finally spoke: "Huang Duwei, when we arrive at Jiankang Mansion, you and I will dissolve the marriage contract, and we will not delay from now on." If you want to find Mr. Huang, please take care of yourself, I will never make it difficult

to you. ”

Huang Zhen sneered: "No wonder princess, you are as guarded as a jade and don't let me move, it turns out that you have already planned something." That Wang Song who is still thinking about you in my heart, but unfortunately he is dead, and you can't look forward to it. ”

The maid was just about to speak, but Zhao Duofu stopped her with his eyes, and said in a clear voice: "Huang Duwei, it's useless to talk more, when you arrive at Jiankang Mansion, you and I will go our own way, and the two have nothing to do with each other."

Huang Zhen wanted to say a few cruel words, looked at the few forbidden soldiers outside the cabin who were staring at each other with unkind faces, and closed his mouth knowingly.

Zhao Duofu looked at the river, it was dark and unclear, and the white mist was shrouded, like a fairyland.

At this time, if Wang Song is accompanied, playing the piano and writing poems, and relying on each other, it will be a fairyland on earth, and this miserable journey to the south will not be so tasteless.

She secretly hoped in her heart that when she arrived in Jiangnan and begged for freedom, she could go to the place of hope.

"Another one!"

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid was thrown out of her cabin, bruised and unconscious.

The guards hurried forward, wrapped the woman in a sheet, and carried her to another room, where another young maid was sent in.

From time to time, there were vulgar beatings and scolding from men, and the low cries of women were unbearable, which continued.

The guards stationed outside the cabin looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and then separated their eyes.

Finally, after sending in three women in a row, after a while, the inside finally stopped.

Zhao Gou was wearing a single coat, sat on the edge of the table, grabbed the wine jug on the table, poured half a glass at once, and then gasped heavily.

These days, after being busy, when I got to the ship, I was free, and I could finally vent.

Looking out of the window of the cabin, I could faintly see a big ship on the oblique side, Zhao Kai was sitting in a cabin with Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke and others, talking and laughing freely, and full of spirit.

Zhao Gou stood up, went to the window, and looked at Zhao Kai and the others, as if he was thinking.

Zhao Gou changed his clothes, came to the bow of the boat, and looked at the river, where there were guarding ships everywhere. The fishing boats and merchant ships on the river, when they saw the big flags raised high on the bow of the boats, all avoided them in both directions.

Seeing the official standing on the bow of the big ship next to him, Zhao Gou was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Wang Yuan, why are you, are you the escort general of the imperial court's southward migration?"

Wang Yuan hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Highness, the ministers and Liu Guangshi, Liu Xianggong, Miao Fu and Miao Xianggong, are all the guards of the imperial court's southward move. Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a while. ”

On both sides of the canal, the fertile fields are barren, most of the houses have collapsed or burned to ashes, the fields can be seen from time to time with dead bodies, and the official roads are full of ragged refugees.

Zhao Gou looked at the scene on both sides of the strait, frowned, and said: "Wang Tongzhi, you said that there are bandits and bandits on both sides of the strait, otherwise how could there be so many refugees."

Zhao Gou said "control" and successfully shortened the distance between the two. Wang Yuan's heart was hot, and he felt that Zhao Gou still had himself in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for remembering the old days."

Wang Yuan said with a smile on his face: "The scout in front came to report, saying that this section of the Bianhe River is quite peaceful, but when it reaches the Huaihe River and the section of Chuzhou, it is the sphere of influence of the bandit Li Cheng. However, with our escort army in the presence, there shouldn't be any trouble. ”

Wang Yuan thinks too highly of himself. These thieves on the rivers and lakes, although they sound powerful, are just local chickens and tile dogs, and they will collapse at the first touch.

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Then along the way, it's thanks to you." If it's okay, get on the boat and have a cup of tea and catch up. ”

Wang Yuan nodded again and again. Zhao Gou smiled and said goodbye and went back to the cabin.

This Wang Yuan, when Zhao Gou built the Generalissimo's Mansion in Hebei, this person was his former military commander, and the two had a good relationship. Unexpectedly, now, Wang Yuan is the escort general of the imperial court's southward migration.

Perhaps, this person can make good use of it.
