Text Chapter 203 Secret Letter
The cliffs and mountains of Haijiao are sloping, and they do not belong to China from now on. There is no fish belly to donate the ground, and there is ambergris? Looking at the Guanhe River is not a Han banner, blowing the sun and the moon is a beard. The boss of Chang'e has nowhere to return, leaning on the silver wheel and crying osmanthus. - Qian Qianyi, "The Thirteenth of Post-Autumn Xing".
In Ye Qing's view, the phrase "there is no China after Yashan" is more like Qian Qianyi's first proposal, and Qian Qianyi, as a literati in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, in Ye Qing's view, it is obvious that his state of mind at that time was closer to that of the literati in the late Song and early Yuan dynasties.
After Yashan, there is no China, and when Ye Qing decided to cooperate with Sang Kun, he had actually already thought about what name to give to the more than 2,000 young soldiers.
It's just that he has been entangled in whether to use the word Yashan to insinuate and warn the misfortune of the nation, or to directly use the word China to do his best to save the great misfortune of the nation.
In fact, at the moment when Lao Liu asked him, he didn't think about which one should be used in his heart.
But it was at that moment that he made a trick to use the flower planter, so that while giving the young army a different and meaningful name, it seemed that he also unconsciously planted a flower in his heart that was both good and evil.
Even Ye Qing himself didn't know what he wanted to do at this time, and why he chose to name it Flower Planter.
Naturally, he would not have known that when he pushed Temujin's so-called switch back, his switch had already been turned on when he was ambushed by the Jin people and promoted by Zhao Gou to be the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division.
Although they don't know why Ye Qing chose to name the flower planter, they also know that the young army of more than 2,000 people may be the first henchman under Ye Qing's command in a few years.
But helplessly, since the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Crossing, whether it is the four Zhongxing generals led by Yue Fei or Han Shizhong, or other anti-Jin generals, when they fought against the Jin people and destroyed the Song Dynasty, they all recruited troops privately to use them to fight against the Jin people.
Although with the unwarranted death of Yue Wumu, the status of the imperial generals continued to decline, but the imperial court obviously did not, and explicitly suppressed this trend of private placement of military generals, but everyone tacitly did not go to private placement, but took the Privy Council as the criterion.
Po Li San, Lao Liu Tou, including Zhao Qi'er, who was far away in Lin'an, were all old generals of Yue Fei's back army, and they were naturally not sensitive to Ye Qing's private placement of the army.
What's more, with Yue Fei's death and the division and disintegration of their backshit, they have a lack of favor for the imperial court, and they will not notice that Ye Qing's move is already a great rebellion and a rebellion.
And Dong Chao is the most direct beneficiary, at this time, he is too late to thank Ye Qing, and naturally he will not notice what Ye Qing has done at this time, if it is known by the imperial court, it will be possible for Ye Qing to sing loudly in Dali Temple.
When the time and place are favorable, and all kinds of conditions are inexplicably ripe, a private army that was silently hidden on the grassland stepped onto the stage of history silently, silently avoiding the touch and sensitivity of the Southern Song Dynasty court, and began to learn to spread its wings and learn to soar on the prairie.
In the palace of Lin'an City, Wang Lun ran in the direction of Deshou Palace like a gust of wind, Ye Qing, who had no news for several days, finally brought the secret letter that the Emperor Taishang had been looking forward to for a long time, although he still didn't know what was written in the secret letter, but looking at the package sent along with the secret letter, he had vaguely guessed in his heart that Ye Qing had obviously made a meritorious contribution this time.
"Open it and see." Zhao Gou put down the teacup, motioned to the palace maid next to him to put away a painting he copied and said.
As everyone exited the room, Wang Lun cautiously opened the thick secret letter, and when he saw the bloodstained paper inside, he couldn't help shaking his hand, opened one, and saw the five characters of Zhao Xun, the Duke of Ningguo, after seeing the five characters on it, Wang Lun suddenly had a thrill, and hurriedly handed the paper to Zhao Gou.
As the seven pieces of paper were opened one by one, the names of Ning Guogong Zhao Xun and the other seven people were spread out on the table by Zhao Gou one by one, and he looked at the names of those people with a frown: "No?" ”
"Back to the Emperor, there is." Wang Lun hurriedly read: "The last general failed to wait for the Jin caravan in Sizhou, so he boldly crossed the river to my Great Song Dynasty lost land, and found the Jin caravan attacked by thieves in Zhongmiao Town. After several hours of searching, the last general finally found Ning Guogong and others in the Jin caravan, but he was in a hurry and could not heal Ning Guogong and others, who were dying and seriously injured, and at the same time, the last general heard the noise of the Jin people's official mansion in the distance. Ning Guogong and others hurriedly wrote down their bloodstained names despite their serious injuries and dying lives, and signaled the last general to take out the Great Song Dynasty clothes of Ning Guogong and others, hoping that the last general would be able to bring back my Great Song Dynasty and bury him in clothes, which can be regarded as returning to the roots of fallen leaves, and not dishonoring the prestige and benevolence ......of my Great Song royal family. ”
As Wang Lun continued to read the secret letter, Zhao Gou took it upon himself and opened the package next to it, which contained brand-new national uniforms and princess clothes, in the eyes of Zhao Gou, the royal family, it can be seen at a glance that although the texture of the material is a little worse, it is completely made by the standards of the royal family, even if others want to imitate, it is difficult to do the style of the court dress decades ago.
"What else did you say?" Zhao Gou's face was calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.
"Back to the Emperor, Ye Qing also said that when Ning Guogong and the other seven people attacked the camp, they took advantage of the chaos to join forces to kill thirteen Jin people, and in the end they couldn't ...... because there were too many Jin people." Wang Lun replied.
"Didn't you say why you couldn't bring my imperial brother and the others back?" Zhao Gou seemed to be very dissatisfied that Ye Qing failed to bring back Ning Guogong's body.
"Back to the emperor, Ye Qing smuggled across the Huai River and returned to the lost land, and the Jin people had already heard the news and rushed over. Ye Qing was afraid of misunderstanding with the Jin people, and mistakenly thought that it was my Great Song Dynasty, so he could only hide with the clothes of the prince, the princess and others, and hid for three days in a row, and after not being able to find a chance to bring the remains of the prince and others, he secretly crossed the river and returned to Sizhou City to die. Wang Lun bowed and said cautiously.
In his heart, he was already secretly happy, regardless of whether the bodies of Ning Guogong and the others could still be found, but at least the nightmare that had plagued the saint for a long time was finally over, and he no longer had to wake up from the nightmare in the time of a few pillars of incense that had just fallen asleep.
"How cunning the golden man is." Zhao Gou stroked the set of brand-new, familiar court clothes, everything that was still in Bianjing seemed to come to mind all of a sudden, and Zhao Gou, who was thinking about the past, muttered: "Jin Ren is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and he will repeat the old trick in the future, and I am still uneasy." ”
Wang Lun didn't dare to speak, he knew what Zhao Gou was referring to, the first secret letter sent by the Jin people, and even the secret letters after that, the person referred to in it was not the Zhao Song clan, but the heir of Wei Guifei born in Jin, and it was only in the last few letters that it was named the Zhao Song clan.
The Jin people did this, obviously because they were afraid that Zhao Gou would completely turn their faces with the Jin people in anger, so they had to take a compromise method and send the Zhao Song clan and others over, wanting to warn Zhao Gou.
Therefore, in Wang Lun's opinion, will it be true that as Wei Guifei said before her death, she had no heirs when she was in Jindi?
Looking at Zhao Gou's back, Wang Lun didn't dare to say these words, this was like the emperor's reverse scales, if he mentioned it, I was afraid that it would immediately attract a storm for no reason!
Wang Lun silently shook his head behind Zhao Gou, since the first secret letter of the Jin people, he personally opened and checked it, but the inconsistent content of the Jin people's secret letters, was it deliberately done by the Jin people, or in the end, he couldn't come up with a real threat, so he was replaced by the Zhao Song clan?
Or is there something wrong with the secret letters of those golden people?
Thinking of this, Wang Lun couldn't help but think of what Ye Qing and him said when they were drinking in that dilapidated tavern, and remembered Liu Yungu, who was suspected by Ye Qing.
"Go and ask Yan'er to come over." Zhao Gou, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Think about this matter in the long run, tell him Ye Qing, if anyone else knows about this matter, I will cut off his head." Also, does he already know about Yangzhou? ”
"Back to the emperor, he is already on standby in Sizhou, and ......." Wang Lun swallowed and said: "Shen Fa, the governor of Sizhou, and the squire of the Jinren Criminal Department colluded with each other, Ye Qing doesn't have much evidence now, and Li Xizhi, the city secretary and Yangzhou sentencing envoy, is also in Sizhou, so Ye Qing ......." ”
"Isn't there someone in the Imperial City Division in Sizhou? Can't he even control his own men? Zhao Gou raised his eyebrows, temporarily put down the matter of Ning Guogong and the others, and then turned to look at Wang Lun and said: "Let him hurry, just after completing an errand, he will start to slack off, and I can't spare him either." ”
Wang Lun bent down and smiled bitterly, and then said, "Yes, Emperor Taishang." After finishing speaking, Wang Lun hurriedly walked out of the room and went to invite the current saint Zhao Yan.
"Tell him, I arrange it freely, although the Imperial City Division cannot interfere in the affairs of the court, but it is also his duty to monitor the courtiers. Who is the right person to go to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department? Zhao Gou suddenly asked with interest.
Wang Lun was stunned for a moment, then realized it, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to the Emperor, there is a grudge conflict between the Criminal Department and Ye Qing, and a few days ago there was an unhappiness because of the escort of several Dongying monks, which is obviously inappropriate. But...... On that day, Yu Yunwen, the young secretary of Dali Temple, was present, and listening to what Ye Qing said, this person was not present to stop him. ”
"And in the first battle of quarrying, it was also Yu Yunwen who resisted the southward movement of the Jin people Wanyan Liang in Zhenjiang and recaptured the lost territory south of Huaishui in my Great Song Dynasty. What's more, since Yangzhou has a criminal envoy Li Xizhi here, it is not appropriate for the Criminal Department to go to someone again, as long as Dali Temple is allowed to go to someone, as long as he Ye Qing can submit the evidence he has collected to Yu Yunwen. At this time, Zhao Gou completely left the affairs of the Zhao Song clan behind.
After pacing back and forth and pondering for a while in front of Wang Lun, he suddenly smiled and said: "This kid is very shrewd, he realized the danger as soon as he arrived in Yangzhou, and immediately asked someone to sneak into Yangzhou quietly, and now that the errand in Sizhou is done, he is hiding in Sizhou and not going to Yangzhou, this kid is waiting for the will, he doesn't want to risk himself." ”
Wang Lun lowered his head and smiled and agreed: "Maybe he knows where his responsibilities are, so he doesn't dare to cross it." ”
"In short, this kid is still very cautious, so I discussed with Yan'er and let Yu Yunwen go to Yangzhou. Dali Temple is on an errand, he is looking for evidence, so that kid must be able to feel at ease, right? Zhao Gou smiled, and then waved his hand to Wang Lun and asked him to invite Zhao Yan.
