Zhao Heng pondered for a while, sighed and said: "Mingyue, you and I were born in the emperor's family, it is both lucky and unfortunate, we carry the ancestors' rivers and mountains on our shoulders, in order to guard this piece of country, maybe our self (shēn) glory and disgrace gain and loss is no longer important." ”

Zhao Mingyue looked at Zhao Heng with beautiful eyes, I knew what he was going to say.

"Mingyue, do you believe it? If I die, I can exchange for the peace and prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and I will not hesitate to die. ”

Zhao Mingyue nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

Zhao Heng suddenly raised his head, stared at Zhao Mingyue and said, "Then Mingyue, can you make such a sacrifice?" ”

Zhao Mingyuehun (shēn) was shocked, his eyelids jumped, and he changed color and said, "Brother Huang, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Heng was silent and pushed Li Jiqian's secret letter in front of her.

Zhao Mingyue opened the secret letter in a panic, and when she saw it, she was shocked, and she trembled, and she stood up and shouted: "No, I don't agree, and I won't agree to die." ”

"Mingyue, I can't bear to hurt you like this." Zhao Heng said bitterly: "But what can I do? ”

"I don't care, I've done enough for Da Song, I don't care anymore." Saying that he was going to flee when he turned (shēn).

Zhao Heng grabbed her sleeve and shouted: "Mingyue, you (shēn) are the children of the royal family, how can you say that you don't care when the country is in turmoil?" You don't care, do you want to watch your relatives being killed and the country being occupied? ”

Zhao Mingyue burst into tears and roared: "When did I stop care? There have been so many major events in the Great Song Dynasty over the years, which one of them have I stood by? But is it necessary for me to marry Li Jiqian? ”

Zhao Heng pulled her to sit in front of his dragon case and said, "Mingyue, you sit in my place and think about it, is there a better way than this now?" ”

"Why not? Now that Sichuan has been pacified, it is not (rì) to return to the dynasty, and it is not worth mentioning at all. Zhao Mingyue said excitedly.

"Mingyue, you have fought Western Xia, can you guarantee that you can find Li Jiqian by mobilizing the people? If you send troops to fight, you have to ask for military salaries, the Great Song Dynasty has been fighting for years, do you know what the treasury looks like? Also, even if Li Jiqian is killed, will the other party members be at peace? Zhao Heng threw a series of questions at her (bī).

Zhao Mingyue couldn't speak, indeed, there is no better, more trouble-free, and more long-term way to do it

The law is true, but why should you sacrifice yourself?

"No, I can die, but I won't marry Li Jiqian. Also, if you marry me to Li Jiqian, Ling Kun will be furious, and he will be more terrible than Li Jiqian at that time. ”

Zhao Heng sighed and said: "Yes, I also know that he is more terrifying, Li Jiqian is just intruding on the border, but Ling Kun can directly subvert the Great Song Dynasty, so I have already locked him up." ”

"What?" Zhao Mingyue was shocked, and asked tremblingly: "What did you do to him, what are you going to do?" ”

"Don't worry, he's fine, but whether he can come out in this life depends on your choice."

"You're threatening me?" Zhao Mingyue stared at Zhao Heng and asked.

"Mingyue, the third brother is incompetent, allowing you to suffer such grievances. You know, from the beginning, I didn't intend to be this emperor, I couldn't afford to bear this burden, but the eldest brother pretended to be crazy and stupid, and he didn't die as an emperor, and the second brother was scheming, but in the end it ended up like that. If you were a man, I would kneel on the ground to give way to you, but if you weren't, what else could I do? ”

Zhao Heng is both soft and hard, but there is only one attitude, you must marry to Western Xia.

Zhao Mingyue couldn't hold it anymore, and fell on the table and cried.

Zhao Heng didn't speak, looked at her quietly, and waited for her answer.

After a long time, Zhao Mingyue raised her tear-stained face and asked, "Where is he?" ”

"In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"I want to see him."

"Yes, you can go straight to the prison, and no one will stop you." Zhao Heng nodded and said.

Zhao Mingyue wiped a handful of tears and turned (shēn) to leave.

"Bright Moon." Zhao Heng stopped her and said: "Go back tonight to say goodbye to the queen mother, tomorrow the family sending team will set off, he (rì) you and Li Jiqian will return to Kaifeng to settle down, and I will personally go out of the city to greet me." ”

Zhao Mingyue snorted heavily and stomped away.

The guards of the Heavenly Prison of the Criminal Department were extremely strict, and even the guards in the palace had sent a lot of them there, and the Servant of the Criminal Department personally lived in the Heavenly Prison and was responsible for taking care of all matters of Ling Kun.

At this moment, Zhao Mingyue, accompanied by the squire of the Criminal Department, trotted all the way into the prison, and saw Ling Kun in the cage from a distance, lying on the (chuáng), looking at a book with relish.

Looks like he's still in the dark. Zhao Mingyue couldn't help but burst into tears

, choked up.

Ling Kun noticed the movement, looked up and saw that it was Zhao Mingyue, hurriedly put on his shoes and said urgently: "Mingyue, I'm fine, you don't have to be so nervous." ”

Zhao Mingyue reached into the cage with both hands, grabbed Ling Kun's hand, and said miserably: "Fool, you have been deceived by them. ”

Ling Kun was puzzled: "Lie to me, who lied to me, why lied to me?" ”

Zhao Mingyue blinked an eye, and two lines of tears quickly poured out, and she choked up: "Zhao Heng asked me to marry Li Jiqian in exchange for peace in the northwest, and I arrested you to threaten me and contain you." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, making Ling Kun's head blank, looking at Zhao Mingyue in a daze, it took a long time to react, suddenly shook off Zhao Mingyue's hand, and hissed angrily: "Zhao Heng, I (cāo) your ancestor." ”

With a shout, he slammed into the cage with all his strength (shēn). Zhao Mingyue is all he has, no one wants to beat her idea, and neither can the emperor Lao Tzu, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu is the opposite.

With a loud noise, after the sawdust flew, the cage was not knocked open, but the yellow refined copper inside was exposed.

It turned out that this cage was made of refined copper, but it was just wrapped with a layer of wood outside, and it seemed that Zhao Heng had already thought about this matter to the extreme.

Ling Kun was ruthless, his eyes were red, and he carried the Ziling Divine Skill and slammed into the copper pillar again and again, and the refined copper cage was staggered, but it was still as strong as ever.

With a wave of his hand, 50 archers came up and aimed their bows and arrows at Ling Kun.

In this narrow cage, martial arts cannot be used, as long as an order is given, Ling Kun will be turned into a hedgehog.

Zhao Mingyue had already cried into tears, and shook her head desperately: "Ling Kun, don't bump into it, it's useless, they have already prepared." ”

"Mingyue, Mingyue, you can't promise them." Ling Kun anxiously grabbed Zhao Mingyue's hand and said.

Zhao Mingyue shook her head, and tears were thrown to the ground. She sobbed, "Can I not say yes?" What if I don't promise you? ”

"Mingyue, I can die, and we will die together if we die." Ling Kun roared.

"No, you can't die, you still have Allure, and Xiao Ran is waiting for you, forget me." Zhao Mingyue lay on the bronze pillar and cried loudly until she fainted.

In this life, she is already like this, but Ling Kun can continue to live happily.
