In February, the third year of Jianyan, the drizzle has not stopped since the beginning of the month. At first, there was some enjoyment of the rain and dust in Weicheng, but on the morning of the fifth day of the new year, it turned into a majestic rain of the Milky Way. That is to say, half a day, in the city, the streets in the suburbs have no constant stagnation mud.

"There are seven days left before the New Year, and this year's weather is really unusually tight." Zhao Mingcheng, who was the prefect of Jiangning at the time, couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not just the weather that's abnormal." The wife on the side put on his coat for him, looked at the still crowded "vision" from the window on the second floor, and muttered, "Are you sure you won't leave first?" ”

"In this way, I have the opportunity to take the child left by the master and go further south. We have the tips I left for you in our objects, and you can open them when you have the news here. ”

Ten days ago.

At the beginning of spring, although there is no green in the suburbs of Jiangning, the lush greenery of a few acres of mountain fields is already dotted between the valleys. According to the smoke in the ruins, the square house is more than ten acres, and the occasional corner is full of poetry.

"Mr. Xiyi, are you right?"

A team stood solemnly in the valley, Xiao Xiao was silent. The soldiers are all wearing armor, covered with wide-sleeved short shirts, embroidered shirts without buttons, the lower edge of the placket is tied with a knot on the chest, the embroidered shirts have embroidered patterns, embroidered patterns carved tigers, the crotch is a war horse, the sun shines on the short-handled simple knife hanging obliquely on the horse, shimmering and cold. One hundred and ten people, one hundred and ten horses are indeed the elite Tianwuwei of the Great Song Dynasty! There were two war horses in front of the team, and the person who had just asked was among them. On another horse, a Taoist priest who looked only about forty years old wore his hair in a bun, a flat mixed yuan hat on his head, a handsome appearance, three long beards, and a whisk in his arms.

The Taoist surname is Chen Ming, the Taoist name is Fuyaozi, in the early years, he often practiced in Wudang Mountain and Huashan, and the Taoism was mysterious, especially in the numerology of the people, there are unpredictable abilities. During the reign of Taizong, he came to meet and was given the name of Mr. Xiyi by Taizong, and then Chen Jian has been living in seclusion in the palace, and has been highly valued by the royal family after several dynasties.

The one who can let Mr. Xiyi follow one side, looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, there is only one person, Zhao Gou, the Son of Heaven.

Chen Jun dismounted, and recited the eight-character and ten-magic trick again in his heart: "Official, the root cause of the Great Song Dynasty's disaster after this is correct, in the early years, I and the Hui Taoist people worked together to deduce the sixty-four hexagrams on the golden top of Wudang Mountain, and the hexagram showed that the official family would have a catastrophe in three years after succession, and it happened that there was only a vision in this place and heaven in the past three years, and it would never go wrong." ”

Zhao Goan sat down and said: "Mr. Xiyi, I have become a great unification since the Jingkang Change, and I have been able to protect half of the Great Song Dynasty. The government and the opposition all talked about my cowardice, I appointed Yue Fei who was the main battle, Qin Hui and the Jin people wanted Yue Fei to die, so I executed him again, and the people said that I was mediocre, saying that I was bewitched by traitors and did not distinguish between loyalty and treachery. They don't understand, I, in fact, want Yue Fei to die the most! If he welcomes back the Second Sage at every turn and recovers the Central Plains, won't he Yue Fei change his excuse? He didn't know that I was the most taboo for the clan to lead the troops, and the generals rebelled? I was originally a gentleman, and I didn't want to be the official of this Laoshizi, but now that this burden has fallen on my shoulders, then whoever wants to let the Great Song Dynasty lose the country in my hands, I will never agree. Chen Shu, even now that I have really arrived here, I look at these people of the Great Song Dynasty in the valley, why don't I have the slightest compassion? I can't do it. ”

Chen Jian just closed his eyes: "The official family, since they are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it is natural for them to die for the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Gou closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said: "Then let's start, if you can't send these "heroes" on their last journey with your own eyes, it will be really difficult for me to feel at ease." "Random no more words.

The cavalry guard was ordered to draw his sword, and the knife was raised, the cold light flashed, and the blood appeared.

The next day, Jiangning Prefecture posted a note that a plague had occurred in a valley on the outskirts of the country, and the people of the whole valley had died, and in order to prevent the spread of the plague, the government had burned the entire village. And warned the villagers from all over the world not to break in. Among the onlookers, a Taoist took a seven-year-old child and turned around and went to Zhao's mansion, the Taoist's surname was Lu, his name was Chunyangzi, he claimed to be a Taoist, the child was a boy, and it was the day before the "plague", he went to the valley to collect new disciples.

"Youyou has been cultivating for more than 100 years, Chen Shu, I haven't grown at all."

Jiangning Mansion, the day of the mutiny.

"Master, the ruling king of the imperial camp has gathered more than 10,000 troops and horses from all walks of life around Jiangning, and it will arrive in about an hour. Madame and the child have also left the city, when shall we leave? Lao Han, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, hurriedly came to report the news.

"Wang also 'rebelled'...... Chen Tuan and the official family, for the sake of a child, can really afford to pay for it. Lao Han, I will go out of the city from the north gate in a while, and when the king comes, you will say that I abandoned the city with my children and fled north. Zhao Mingcheng was unmoved, just looked at the word she left on the desk when she left, and muttered.

Qingzhao, let me do one last thing for you and the people of the Central Plains, you don't have to be merciful, and you can't have anything to do with me.

At the same time, Li Qingzhao, who fled all the way south, opened the bag, and there was only a piece of paper in the bag, and there was a word written on it.

"Cowardice", how many people are in your heart?

"You" is the only one who is dedicated to you.

At this moment, I asked what is the situation in the world? Two words are enough.

On February 17 of the third year of Jianyan, the king of Jiangning Yuying also rebelled. That night, Zhao Mingcheng, the prefect of Jiangning, abandoned the city and fled north, and was chased by the rebels to the Yangtze River and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, leaving no bones. Soon, a popular five-character quatrain was widely circulated among the Southern Song Dynasty scholars:

Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost.

So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.

Yi'an Jushi Li Qingzhao became famous for a while.
