I don't know how long I cried, and a cold voice came from behind him: "I told you a long time ago, you can't fight King Yan, you don't believe it, and you cost your life in vain." ”

Zhang Shixing looked back and saw that the person who came was Tana, the Queen Mother of Zhongning, and saw that she was wearing a red robe, a green belt around her waist, and an aunt's crown on her head, looking graceful and dignified. He was followed by Batu and Arutai.

Zhang Shixing wiped away his tears and hurriedly knelt down to salute Tana.

Tana said flattened, walked over to check Song Zhong's death, then turned around and said to Zhang Shixing with an expressionless face: "People can't be resurrected after death, Zhang Tongzhi please mourn and change." What do you plan to do in the future? ”

Zhang Shixing bowed his head and said: "The humble post will first return the bones of the Song Governor to his hometown, and then resign and go into hiding." ”

Tana glanced at him and said with some disdain: "You are young and have a martial arts, how could you move this idea if you don't make a vigorous career." ”

Zhang Shixing was a little moved in his heart, raised his head, and said proudly: "The lesson of the Queen Mother Zhongning is that the humble position is indeed not the opponent of King Yan, and in order to save his life in the troubled times, he has to retire to the countryside." ”

Tana snorted and said: "You are self-aware, you are indeed not the opponent of King Yan, but the Empress Dowager can fight with him, if you are willing to assist me, I will immediately promote you to the commander of Kaiping Guard." ”

Zhang Shixing said strangely: "Queen Mother Zhongning, your department is just a nomad here, with no position, no power, no soldiers and no salary, how can you promote me to be the commander of Kaiping Guard?" ”

Tana laughed and said: "Song Zhong's entire army was destroyed, Kaipingwei is already in my pocket, and the imperial court is powerless to recover it, so I don't take the opportunity to do a favor." If you follow me, some officials will be able to be crowned king and worship in the future. ”

Arutai said on the side: "Yes, Zhang Tongzhi, you are skilled, and you are righteous, I fell in love with you at first sight, and we will assist King Zhongning to achieve a great career together." The Queen Mother also values you very much, and since you left the fishing sea that night, the Queen Mother also ordered me to get up and go south immediately, and meet Batu halfway, and return to Kaiping without stopping, and inquire about you everywhere. ”

Tana gave him a blank look, and Arutai was silent.

Zhang Shixing suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: "So you took advantage of the void to seize Kaipingwei." ”

Batu smiled proudly: "Song Zhong led the army south, then Kaipingwei is an empty city, how can there be a reason not to eat the meat on the side of your mouth?" ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly said: "Then how many people have you killed, why can't you see a few Han people on the street?" ”

When Tana heard this, she yelled at him, "Don't you forget that this was originally our Shangdu, and how many Mongolian people have you killed us?" With that, she turned and slammed the door.

Batu patted Zhang Shixing's shoulder and said with a lewd smile: "Zhang Tongzhi, we didn't kill many people, we just gave them to each family as slaves." If you want, I'll give you dozens. ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, he was so angry that he pointed out the door and said to Batu and Arutai: "You all get out of me." ”

After the funeral, Song Zhong's mourning hall is erected on the main hall of Qianyuan Temple, the place where the original Jinyi Wei is stationed in the northwest corner of Kaiping City, because it is simple, slightly arranged, it is a cypress coffin, and the exterior is coated with gold paint.

Zhang Shixing wore linen and filial piety, pretending to be a filial son and grandson, and the people who came to mourn were only Batu and Arutai, and there were no drummers blowing and playing on the side, which seemed extremely deserted, only he burned some paper money. Thinking that Song Zhong was also a second-class member of the imperial court before his death, but after his death, he was so desolate, as soon as he thought of this, Zhang Shixing couldn't help but feel sad again, and cried loudly.

When he was crying bitterly, someone outside the hall shouted: "Jinyiwei and Zhang Shixing receive the order." ”

Zhang Shixing was deeply surprised that at this time, there was an envoy from the imperial court, and he hurriedly walked down the hall and knelt down in the courtyard to receive the order.

At this time, a team of people walked into the door, the face of the leader was like a knife, the color was like fine iron, Zhang Shixing recognized this person as the criminal department Shangshu Zhao, who was originally a waiter in the criminal department, and his boss Yang Jing, the criminal department Shangshu, was killed because of Zhang Wen's case, and he succeeded him.

Tyranny Zhao unfolded the holy decree and read it out loud: "Feng, heaven carriers, the emperor's edict said: Song Zhong, the governor of the Left Army, and Jinyiwei knew that Zhang Shixing was ineffective, which caused a great change, and he lost his teacher and land. Chin this. ”

Zhang Shixing kowtowed and thanked him: "Minister Zhang Shixing is grateful, long live, long live, long live." Then he took the decree, stood up, and said angrily to the tyrant: "The minister has received the decree, but the governor of Song is seriously injured and cannot receive the decree to thank him." ”

Storm Zhao nodded, held his hand and said, "I already know, the imperial court is thousands of miles away, and the news is naturally not very well-informed. Since King Yan rebelled in Beiping, the imperial court set up a political envoy of Pingyan in Zhending, and I will be the abbot of the overall situation. Hearing that the governor of Song was defeated in Huailai, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the saint passed down a decree to remove the two of you and return to Beijing, which is not a kind of protection. You have to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. It's a pity that he came one step too late, and Song Dudu had already sacrificed his life for the country. ”

After that, he walked to the front of the incense case, respectfully paid three incense sticks, and knelt down to worship, Zhang Shixing hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Tyranny Shangshu, this can't be helped, you are an envoy, inspect on behalf of the sky, how can you kneel for the courtiers." ”

Storm Zhao pushed him away and said: "Zhang Tongzhi, the deceased is the greatest, and he died in state affairs, so he deserves my respect." As he spoke, he kowtowed three times, and his entourage also stepped forward to pay respects. vp

Zhang Shixing felt a little comforted at this time, and said silently in his heart: "Uncle Shi, the envoy came to pay tribute in person, and you are considered to be dead and glorified." ”

After Storm Zhao got up, he said to Zhang Shixing: "I don't know where that King Zhongning is now, can you lead the way?" and I will give him a decree. ”

Zhang Shixing felt a little strange, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he arched his hand and said, "Obey orders." Immediately led the violent Zhao and his party to Huayan Temple, the Mongolian warriors guarding the door still did not let them in, Zhang Shixing pointed at the violent Zhao, and said angrily: "This is the envoy, on an errand, you dare to stop it, do you want to rebel?" ”

The Mongol warrior spoke not very fluent Chinese and said, "We don't know any envoys, only that the king of Zhongning is the biggest here." With a wave of his hand, dozens of samurai rushed out of the door, each armed with a sword and a gun, and surrounded them.

The soldiers accompanying the storm also drew their swords in their hands and shouted angrily: "Dare to be disrespectful to the envoy and look for death?" ”

The two sides are tense, and a fight is inevitable. At this time, a person walked out of the door, fat and big, with a round face and thin eyes, it was Arutai. As soon as Arutai saw the confrontation between everyone, he hurriedly retreated from his warriors, and said with a smile to Zhang Shixing: "Zhang Tongzhi, what is the noble thing to do when you come to the palace, if you want to help with the funeral, just open your mouth, there are people." ”

Zhang Shixing snorted and said: "I don't dare to work hard, but the envoy arrives, and your King Zhongning doesn't come out to greet you, do you want to establish yourself as a king?" ”

Arutai glanced at Storm Zhao and asked, "Do you dare to ask if this is the envoy?" ”

Storm Zhao nodded calmly and said, "Exactly, in Xiaping Yanbu, the political envoy Storm Zhao, came to announce the decree to King Zhongning, you should quickly invite him out." ”

Hearing this, Arutai turned around and entered, and without much effort, Tana led Little Battle, followed by Batu and Arutai and walked out together, and when they saw Tyrant, the group fell to their knees, and Little Battle's immature voice shouted: "King Zhongning takes the order." ”

Tyrant Zhao opened another holy decree and read it out: "Feng, heaven carriers, the emperor's edict said: King Zhongning is also the commander of Kaipingwei, and the rest of his subordinates are appointed by themselves, reported to the military department for the record, and immediately led the troops to Beiping to quell the rebellion. ”

Little Battle kowtowed and thanked him for receiving the order, everyone stood up, Tana smiled and apologized to Tyrant Zhao and said: "Tyranny Shangshu, my subordinate guards don't know etiquette, and they collided with the envoy, Wangqi Haihan. ”

Tyrant Zhao smiled and said: "It's okay, the Mongolian people have always been simple and straightforward, as long as you have the court in mind, immediately raise troops to quell the rebellion, the emperor will definitely reward you." ”

Tana said: "Tyrannical Shangshu, this is not a place to speak, please come in and discuss." As he spoke, he walked into the temple with everyone, and sat down on the top of the main hall.

After some greetings, Storm Zhao asked again: "Queen Mother, I don't know when your troops will be able to raise troops, the imperial army has already assembled in Zhending, if we attack from the north and south, Beiping can be flat." ”

Tana frowned and said: "Tyranny Shangshu, you also know that our department moved here from Beiping, although there are thousands of households, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are only more than 2,000 soldiers, which is really unbearable for a battle." Lacking food, clothing, armor, horses, and weapons, how can he fight against the army of the Yan King, the Tiger and the Wolf? It is necessary to prepare for some time, to train the soldiers and horses, and to gather grain and grass, and not to be plucked out without three months. ”

Storm Zhao smiled and said, "Queen Mother, it's a joke." You didn't follow the orders of the imperial court, and you took Kaipingwei without authorization, how many benefits did you get, I don't need to say, the court has not yet investigated the crime of you, but the queen mother is here to push back and obstruct, too ignorant of the general situation. ”

When Batu heard this, Huo De got up and said, "So what? Kaiping was originally built by our Mongols, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and now it is just taken back, how can you still want to cure our crimes, what is the reason? ”

Tana motioned for him to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's no wonder that the tyrannical book is not taken by us, but the Song Governor abandoned this place, and this is the feudal domain of the King of Zhongning, and we are worried that it will be based on the bandits, so we will be stationed for the time being, if the court sends a large army to come, we will give it up and return to Zhao." ”

Storm Zhao waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. The most important thing now is to counter the rebellion. What the Queen Mother said is also true, even so, those defeated soldiers who fled from Huailai to Kaiping are all under the command of King Zhongning, what do you think? Kaipingwei's old weapons are also used. ”

When Tana heard this, she smiled and said, "That's good." ”

Batu muttered, "Those stragglers are simply vulnerable. ”

Tana glared at him, and Batu was silent.

Tana said: "Our department is short of grain, grass and horses, and it is so poor that there is nowhere to buy it, so I ask the court to help one or two." ”

Storm Zhao said: "This is a good saying, the imperial court has awarded 100,000 yuan of treasure money, given to the king of Zhongning, as a military reality." After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, carry it up." ”

After listening to the order, his entourage sergeant immediately carried several large boxes, opened the boxes, and was full of stacks of Daming treasure banknotes.

Tana said with a smile: "The imperial court is really thoughtful, and even so, our troops will be sent to Beiping within a month." ”

Storm Zhao slapped the table and said, "Okay, we'll make a decision." ”
