"The Lingwaiyin book is broken, and the winter returns to the spring. The hometown is even more timid, and he doesn't dare to ask anyone. Song Yanqing, you are just degrading the outside of the Lingling, but I, Zhang Xiaochun, am detained in a foreign country and live like a year. You're so lucky compared to me!"

Since the defeat of Taiyuan and the detention of the Jin people in the clouds for several years, every grass and tree in his hometown has haunted him, and his brothers and family are extremely concerned.

Today I can finally return to my hometown, return to the future, the servants are welcome, and the children are waiting for the door. The three paths are barren, and the pine chrysanthemum still exists. Bring the child into the room, and there is a bottle of wine......

"Return, today is and yesterday is not ......"

Zhang Xiaochun muttered in his mouth, and his eyes turned red involuntarily.

The mountains, forests and streams on both sides of the official road are the old places where he traveled when he was young. The cold wind is bleak, and the few fallen leaves on the trees are pouring down, covering the official road and both sides, and now it can only soothe the sad scene, only to increase the sadness.

Seeing that his father was sad, Zhang Xun persuaded on the side: "Father, let's return to our hometown anyway, so don't be sad." Later, I will see the uncle, the third uncle, and their relatives, friends, and friends, I may be very happy. ”

Zhang Xiaochun raised his head, glanced at his son, who was in a comfortable mood, and said softly: "Erlang, it seems that you are quite excited about going south this time."

"Father, now that I think about it, the fishy place, if you stay for a moment, it will be unbearable."

Zhang Xun smiled faintly: "Now that you and my father and son have become sinners in the Southern Dynasty, it doesn't matter if he is Liu Yu as the emperor or not, as long as you and my father and son can return to their hometown safely, if they can grow old under the spring forest, the child is also willing."

Zhang Xiaochun nodded, and another layer of sadness floated in his heart.

In the first year of Jingkang, Taiyuan City was broken, and he became a prisoner under the stairs under his own thoughts. Because he did not die as a martyr, he was regarded as a "traitorous thief" by the Song Dynasty. knew that this was the case, and if he died on the same day, he would be able to leave his name in history, so why did he have these humiliations today.

He looked up, but there were some doubts in his heart, and he could even say that he was a little "uneasy".

Ben came to Hebei, and he planned to return to his hometown in Teng County via Jinan Mansion, but the Jin officials who sent him had to go to Dongping Mansion first, get the return papers, and then send him and his son home.

The Jin people could have sent themselves back, and then went back to Dongping Mansion to get the paperwork and go north directly, for some reason, they had to do this extra move.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads, as long as they can return to their hometowns and live in seclusion, it is okay to suffer some fatigue.

"Father, do you think Jin Ren has other plans?"

Zhang Xun looked at the surrounding scene, puzzled in his heart.

When he went south, the child heard that the Jin people said that Liu Yu was going to be the emperor in Jinan Mansion. If the Jin people sent me home, why did I take a detour to Jinan Mansion. There must be something strange about this. ”

Zhang Xiaochun's heart was shocked, he looked at the golden envoy behind him, shook his head and said, "So far, there is only one step at a time."

The father and son stand on a high place, looking into the distance, surrounded by mountains, a water flowing south, the bell of the ancient temple, a group of mountains and rivers are victorious, and the scenery is good.

"Father, if you come here, you will be safe, even if you are in the pseudo-Qi Dynasty, it is not unacceptable."

Zhang Xun seemed to have understood a little. Pseudo-Qi Caochuang needs a great Song Dynasty minister like his father to come out, with the heart of a doctor of the Annan Dynasty.

"Erlang, it seems that you have already noticed it."

Zhang Xiaochun turned around and looked at his son, his face calm: "Erlang, this time I returned to my hometown, I saw that you were in a good mood for my father." Do you think that Liu Yu is the emperor, and my father and son are pseudo-Qi officials, which is beneficial and harmless to you and my father and son."

When Zhang Xiaochun was the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu and the governor of Taiyuan Mansion, his son Zhang Hun was the main official and his right hand. It was because he wanted to know what his son really thought.

"Father, it has been five or six years since the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty in the last years of Xuanhe. Five or six years have passed, except for the land of Yanyun's hometown, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty occupied by the Jurchens is really limited. ”

The Jurchens seem to be invincible, but except for Shandong, Hebei East Road, and Huaibei, other states and counties do not seem to have effectively occupied.

And all this is because the insurmountable wall of the Loyal and Righteous Army is firmly rooted in the two rivers.

"The Jin people want to destroy the Song Dynasty, but the Jurchen population is sparse. Liu Yu occupies the land of the four roads, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers under him, and the Jin people will support him to help him attack the Song Dynasty. ”

Zhang Xun turned his head and said with a heart: "Liu Yujin can't take, he can't defend when he retreats, he can't succeed enough, and he has more than one failure." The Jin people's support for Liu Yu was not a bad thing for the Great Song Dynasty. It's not a bad thing to be a pseudo-Qi with a father. ”

Zhang Xiaochun nodded silently. Perhaps, as his son said, it is better to support a mediocre and incompetent Liu Yu than to support other shrewd people.

It's just that his father and son are out of line, how can history comment?

"Erlang, in your opinion, one day, will the loyal army meet with the imperial court?"

"Father, the Loyal and Righteous Army is in full swing, and the Jin people don't dare to cherry up on it, let alone the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhang Hun didn't finish his words, Zhang Xiaochun already understood a little.

Wang Song and the Great Song Dynasty had already torn their faces, and as the Loyal and Righteous Army opened up territory, conflicts with the Great Song Dynasty were inevitable. In public and private, it is impossible for Wang Song to bow down to his subordinates.

The Great Song Dynasty was in danger.

The father and son had traveled a long way, and they were already exhausted and had a dry mouth.

Zhang Xun was restless, he looked around, trying to find a place to find a place to drink tea, and suddenly saw a high "wine" flag floating out at the intersection of the official road in front of him.

Everyone was in good spirits and rushed forward. From a distance, I saw that the entrance of the hotel was full of people waiting, and many of them were wearing official hats and uniforms, and they seemed to be people from the government.

Seeing Zhang Xiaochun and his party coming, several young people in front of them took the lead in shouting and speeding forward. The two old men in cotton robes in the back, supported by several young people, also followed closely.

Zhang Xiaochun's face was pale, looking at the familiar and kind faces in front of him, he had mixed feelings for a while, and he couldn't speak.

Zhang Xiaochun turned his head and looked coldly at the Jin official who was seeing him off. The official smiled awkwardly: "Zhang Xianggong wants to be surprised, this is all Marshal Wanyan's meaning, and he is just acting under orders."

"Second brother, you finally ...... It's back!"

Zhang Xiaozhong, the eldest brother who is over sixty years old and has a white beard, sees his dreaming brother come back, and he is also in tears at this moment.

"Third brother, you ...... It's coming too!"

With the help of his son, Zhang Xiaochun hurriedly dismounted, grabbed the arms of his brother and younger brother respectively, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks.

The people behind also stepped forward to greet Zhang Xiaochun one by one, and there were not only his nephews, clansmen, but also more than 200 fellow villagers. These people came here from their hometown, more than 200 miles away, Zhang Xiaochun and everyone talked one by one, they were all embarrassed.

"Second brother, Jin Ren informed me to wait, saying that you would pass by here, and the eldest brother and I notified relatives and friends to come and pick them up. I don't know what the Jin people are calculating, you have to deal with it carefully!"

After the younger brother finished speaking in a low voice, the eldest brother Zhang Xiaozhong said in a deep voice: "Second brother, if you have any ideas in your heart, just do it yourself, don't worry about your family!"

Zhang Xiaochun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, third brother, I worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty to guard Taiyuan and was detained by the Jin people. The ambition of the golden man and the wolf must have a plan. I'm afraid it's not that easy!"

Zhang Xiaozhong pondered: "The second brother doesn't know, now the Jin people have set up Liu Yu as the emperor, amnesty the territory, follow the Jin people's year name, promote Dongping to Tokyo, and govern Jinan Mansion." You said they sent you south, will it have anything to do with it?"

Zhang Xiaochun's heart was shocked. Sure enough, he refused to reduce the gold in the clouds, and Wanyan Zonghan sent him back this time, just to use his prestige and influence in the Song land to serve the Jurchens and fight the anti-gold hearts of the Song people.

In this way, I really got on the thief ship and couldn't jump out again.

"Now, I have to take one step at a time."

Zhang Xiaochun smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, you and my brother, there is still a day when we meet, and God will treat me well."

When everyone saw each other, they complained to each other, feeling that the years were like a shuttle, and they were easy to grow old, and their words were full of sighs and sighs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone be quiet, and listen to what you have to say!"

The Jin official who was in charge of escorting Zhang Xiaochun was full of smiles and said loudly to the people around him: "I have good news to tell you that the Dajin Kingdom has canonized Liu Yu as the emperor of Daqi, in order to govern the people benevolently, ensure the safety of the party, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment." I, Emperor Dajin, asked Zhang Xianggong to go to Daqi and serve as prime minister. ”

The Jin official took out an edict, handed it to Zhang Xiaochun, gave a salute again and again, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xianggong, this is your last document, but the Emperor Dajin personally announced the edict, congratulations to Zhang Xianggong."

The Jin general next to him also bowed and said: "Zhang Xianggong, please go back to your hometown, arrange the matters, take office as soon as possible, and participate in the enthronement ceremony of the Great Qi Emperor."

The crowd that came to greet Zhang Xiaochun was silent for a while. Everyone probably already knew Zhang Xiaochun's ending, and at the moment, their eyes were looking at Zhang Xiaochun, waiting for his reply.

"Brother Yongxi, you are Song Chen, guarding Taiyuan City, admired by the world. If you work for a foreign race, you are tantamount to aiding and abetting abuse, and you will be left with a stench for ten thousand years. You have to think twice, don't agree to this, it will tarnish the innocence of your Zhang family!"

In the crowd, a friend of Zhang Xiaochun stood up, ignoring the presence of Jin Ren and was impassioned.

Before the words fell, a Jurchen general next to him rode forward and smashed the iron rod in his hand.

"Brother Wu......"

Zhang Xiaochun didn't have time to stop it, and saw his friend spit blood from his mouth, fell heavily to the ground, and never got up again.

Another young man was grief-stricken and indignant, stepped forward quickly, hugged the middle-aged gentleman who fell to the ground, and tears rained down.

"Daddy......"

Seeing that the fierce light in the eyes of the Jurchen generals was full of fierceness, and they were about to step forward to be unfavorable to the young man, Zhang Xiaochun hurriedly stepped forward and blocked between the two.

The Jin officials also hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them. If it makes a big fuss, it won't be able to end at that time, and he won't be able to explain it when he goes back.

"Zhang Xianggong, life is only a few decades, like a white horse passing by, fleeting. Are you really for the sake of your personal reputation, regardless of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and the lives of so many brothers, nephews, relatives and friends?"

The Jin officials spoke bitterly, and the faces of the relatives and friends who greeted them turned pale, and everyone was frightened. Zhang Xiaochun let out a long sigh and closed his eyes in pain.

At this time, there are only two ways in front of him - either resolutely not to be falsely ordered and sacrifice the lives of himself and so many relatives and friends; Either give up your name in order to have a long-term reunion with your relatives and friends.

No more dead people.

You can't become an executioner with many crimes because of your own thoughts. After more than four years of suffering as a prisoner, he spent as many years. Never going back.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die alone. A person who is unfaithful and unfilial, why should he be hard now.

Zhang Xiaochun took a deep breath and said loudly: "Honorable envoy, when you go back to your hometown, you will go to office immediately." Please don't be embarrassed by your family, relatives and friends!"

The Jin official was overjoyed and said: "Everything is subject to Zhang Xianggong's orders."

As long as Zhang Xiaochun can take office, he will complete his mission and can go back to hand over the errand.

Zhang Xiaochun came to his friend's body, sighed, and squatted down.

I can't regret it, I knew that I had all kinds of helplessness today, I should have committed suicide and martyrdom when Taiyuan City was broken, and I could also make a name in history!
