Chapter 285: Providence Is So
The troops were sent out, but it was difficult to achieve results for a while, and further measures could only be taken after the exact information was known, so all that could be done now was to wait. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut this kind of waiting is a kind of torment for Zhao Hao, making him restless and restless.
According to the development of history, after ****** was severely injured by Liu Shen, Chen Yizhong left first on the pretext of listening to Zhancheng's attitude towards the imperial court, but he never returned, and he was repeatedly recalled, and finally became an overseas nomad. And the imperial court continued to sail to the sea, waiting for news from Chen Yizhong while looking for a place to regain its foothold. But now history has deviated, Liu Shen was defeated and fled, the imperial court turned from danger to safety, it is said that even if he refuses to go to the island, it is safer to be nearby than floating on the sea, who knows but scared away. And Zhao Hao's mood at the moment is indescribable, he hopes that His Majesty and the Queen Mother will accompany Chen Yizhong to Champa, but he is also worried that they will die in a future if they go, because he knows that Champa is not a paradise for refuge.
As the saying goes, 'the poor are in the downtown area, no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains', although this is about the relationship between people, but it is also applicable at the national level. When the Great Song Dynasty was strong and strong, all countries took the initiative to come to pay tribute and pay tribute, which was nothing more than to use the power of the Great Song Dynasty to consolidate their own position, deter their neighbors, and then take the opportunity to rub some oil and water. But once the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty declined and it was difficult to protect itself from the invasion of foreign enemies, they were already right to stand by and watch, and it was not impossible to turn to the enemy country to take advantage of the fire and rob, isn't Goryeo an example!
The same is true of the country of Champa, which in the Qin and Han dynasties was only Xianglin County in China. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they took advantage of the war and chaos to become independent when they had no time to take care of others, and after the founding of the Song Dynasty, they called the ministers and paid tribute, thinking that they were subject to the country, and they are still on the surface. However, Zhao Hao had already learned that Kublai Khan had ordered Zuo Cheng of Fujian Province to send envoys to Champa to surrender to pay tribute, and the envoys from both sides were negotiating. It's not final, but it's not far off!
Zhao Yu hoped that the little emperor would go to Champa so that he could save his life, but he was also worried that if the Mongols found out about it, they would definitely ask for it from Champong. He knew that the interests of the country were paramount, so the little emperor would become his bargaining chip, and he believed that as long as the Mongols offered the right price, the Champa people would not hesitate to sacrifice the little emperor to the new master. In this way, even if the Mongols were kind enough to spare his life, he would be a humiliating prisoner for the rest of his life. But it may also be reversed by the change of history and preserved.
If the little emperor stayed in the court, Zhao Yu was worried that history would still stubbornly return to the original trajectory, the little emperor fell into the water due to a hurricane, and since then he has been ill and mourned, and it may also be difficult to save his life, and then inherit the unification by himself and become the last emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. In this way, it made him in a dilemma, out of family affection, of course he did not want the little emperor to die, hoping that he could find a way to live in Zhancheng.
But it may not be a good thing to consider it from your own point of view, the little emperor is the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty when he lives, and Zhao Yu will always be held hostage by it, at least morally, and he will not be able to do it on his own. And as the little emperor grows up and has his own children and grandchildren, who knows if he will change his mind to make himself the prince. Even if the little emperor is full of words, unparalleled in faithfulness and righteousness, and keeps his promises, will his children and grandchildren be willing to let the emperor fall into the hands of others? No matter who wants to break the contract, once the matter of seizing the heir happens, of course he will not sit still, and he will launch a counterattack in order to protect himself, and the family affection that he insists on at this time will become bullshit!
Thinking about it, Zhao Yu was never able to come up with a solution to both worlds, which made him entangled, oscillating between conscience and self-interest, and he didn't know whether it was better to let the little emperor live or die. But this kind of thing cannot be discussed with others, especially those who are close to them, and now they do not hesitate to confront the court for their own interests. If they knew that they had the edict of succession, I am afraid that there would be no conditions to create conditions to kill the little emperor and help themselves to ascend to the throne, not to mention that now there is a great opportunity, and they can completely sink to the bottom of the sea forever in the name of intercepting the 'traitor' and rescuing His Majesty......
"Your Highness, someone wants to see you!" Ni Liang suddenly came in and whispered in Zhao Hao's ear.
"Who?" Zhao Yu asked.
"It's a soldier under Chen Xiang, he asked him what was going on but refused to say, he had to see His Highness before he was willing to speak!" Ni Liang said.
"Where are the people?" Zhao Hao asked quietly.
"In the outer hall." Ni Liang replied by pointing outside.
"Well, I'll go meet him." Zhao Hao thought that this person must have an urgent matter before he ventured to come, but why did he have to wait until he saw him.
Zhao Hao hurried to the side hall, and the man knelt down immediately without waiting for him to ask, and took out a waist card and a letter from his arms and sent them. Zhao Yu took it and saw that the waist card was exclusive to the spies of the Bureau, but he was definitely not sent by the Bureau, otherwise he would not have found his own house, but contacted through the Bureau.
"Who are you and where did you get your waist card from?" Zhao Hao asked softly.
"Your Royal Highness, the villain is a personal soldier in Chen Xiang's mansion, and this waist card belongs to Vice General Liu Yan." The man replied.
"And how did you get it?" Of course, Liu Tong Zhao Yu knew that he was the first batch of people selected to join his personal guard, and later allocated to the Affairs Bureau and was arranged to be an undercover agent in Chen Yizhong's mansion.
"The waist card and letter were handed over to the villain by Vice Admiral Liu, and he said that as long as the things are sent to the Shuai's Mansion and handed over to His Highness, there will be a heavy reward, and the small one will come." The man replied.
"Nonsense, how the hell did it come about?" Zhao Yu suddenly changed his face and asked sharply, and the pro-soldiers next to him also stepped forward to hold down the man.
"Your Highness, the thing is indeed for Vice Admiral Liu. Last night, Chen Xiang suddenly asked us to pack up our things and prepare to go to Zhancheng, the villain thought that he had parents at home, and he didn't want to follow, so he wanted to find an opportunity to escape but was caught by Vice General Liu. He said that as long as he sent these things to the Shuai Mansion, he would not denounce me and send me to escape, so the little one reluctantly agreed, and it took a night of rowing to find the mansion. As soon as he was frightened, the man told the truth.
"Reward him with 100 yuan, send him to the Houfu for resettlement first, and entertain him well. But no one is allowed to speak to him, otherwise military justice will be involved. Zhao Hao called Ni Liang and commanded softly. Because this person has learned Liu Yi's identity, but he still stays with Chen Yizhong, if he leaks the news, it will threaten Liu Yi's safety, so he can only be isolated.
"Hmm!" Ni Liang agreed, took the order, and took the people away.
"Alas, God's will is like this, if I don't save it!" When everyone went out, Zhao Yu opened the letter and checked the painting to confirm that it was from the spies of the Bureau, and hurriedly looked at it and sighed...... (To be continued.) )
