Chapter 92: Return to Youzhou
Before the first month, Zhao Yu returned to Youzhou under the edict of Emperor Tianzuo, and before leaving, Empress Dowager Xiao presided over a grand marriage ceremony for Zhao Yu and Xiao Yiyi.
In other words, from that moment on, Xiao Yiyi was already Zhao Yu's nominal wife, and because of this, Zhao Yu returned to Youzhou alone this time.
In ancient times, expatriate officials all said that their families were left in Beijing, and when they had no name in the past, Xiao Yiyi could not care, but now they can't take it seriously, and as a princess, they can no longer act willfully.
Although Zhao Yu was a little reluctant, he couldn't help it, and don't look at him giggling every day, but who is uncomfortable who knows, the taste of sending people under the fence is really uncomfortable.
In a sense, although Bianliang is depressed, it is not as dangerous as Shangjing, so it is better to leave early.
Just when Zhao Yu arrived in Youzhou, Wanyan Xiyin of Huining also received a secret report, the content of which was about the results of the investigation against Zhao Yu.
As a prince, he befriended the characters in the rivers and lakes, stirred up the black and white in the south of the Yangtze River, took down the Mur beggars with lightning speed, recruited troops in Youzhou, and freed slaves...
Looking at the thick stack of information in his hand, Wanyan Xiyin felt more and more that Ah Gu's death was related to this kid, whose prince could toss so much?
Prior to this, there were already spies who sent back news from Shangjing, saying that Zhao Yu had offended Xiao Xian, the concubine of the Liao State, and Xiao Xian was uniting a group of people to frame Zhao Yu, and even sent false news to Huining, portraying Zhao Yu as the murderer who plotted to stab Ah Gu.
After research, the Jurchen high-level officials did not believe that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy could do such a big thing, so the matter was shelved until Wanyan Xiyin finished reading this secret report.
After pondering for a long time, Wanyan Xiyin ordered his men to wait with pen and ink, and then wrote a letter to Emperor Tianzuo.
The gist of the letter was that the Jurchens were going to hold a grand funeral for Aguta, and His Royal Highness the King of Song was invited to attend the funeral on behalf of the Liao State.
The letter was written very politely, but there was a threat between the lines, and Wanyan Xiyin vaguely told Emperor Tianzuo that now is the best time for our two countries to reconcile, so you'd better be obedient and get Zhao Yu over, otherwise don't blame us for meeting again in arms.
After writing it, he immediately ordered someone to send it to Shangjing in an expedited manner of 800 miles.
Huining is not ordinarily far away from Shangjing, the messenger is fast, and it can be reached in three or two days, but Zhao Yu is not so fast when he comes, and he is afraid that the Liao State will have to discuss it, after all, Zhao Yu is not an ordinary official and ordinary person in the Liao State, and he can't just leave.
It has been almost a month since Ah Guda and the others were blown up, and although it was cold, the funeral was to be held after all, so Zhao Yu had to arrive before the funeral.
Zhao Yuna knew that he had been remembered by the Jurchens, and happily returned to the governor's mansion under the greeting of Yelu Min, Lin Chong and others, and before he entered, he saw an old acquaintance waiting at the door.
After seeing Zhao Yu, he knelt directly on the cold snow, choked up and said, "Old slave, old slave, see Your Highness..."
"Lao Feng, why are you here?"
Overjoyed, Zhao Yufei dismounted, and then directly dragged Feng Quan, who was in tears, up with hidden tears.
"Your Royal Highness's body is getting stronger and stronger, and the mother must be very happy to know it."
As he spoke, Feng Quan's tears flowed down again.
"This is not the place to talk, go in and talk"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yu turned his head again and asked Yelu Min and the others to stay and drink for a while, and then pulled Feng Quan to the backyard.
When he came to the study, Zhao Yu couldn't wait to ask directly, "Is the queen mother good?" ”
Everything else is fake, only her mother worries Zhao Yu the most.
Feng Quan sighed slightly, and then told Zhao Yu about Empress Zheng's current situation, and finally took out the holy decree from his arms.
Zhao Yu didn't even look at it and threw it aside, what was on it was in his heart!
helped Feng Quan sit down, and then said, "I want to take the queen mother out, do you have a way?" ”
Feng Quan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Your Highness, this place is thousands of miles away from Bianliang, let's not talk about whether you can take Niangniang out, it is this bitter cold place, I'm afraid that Niangniang can't stand it!" ”
"Then, Your Highness won't look at the holy decree given to you by His Majesty?"
It can be seen that Feng Quan still hopes that Zhao Yu can return to Bianliang.
Feng Quan's words reminded Zhao Yu, not because of the cold, but because Zhao Yu remembered that Empress Zheng was the last person to accompany Huizong in history, which means that Empress Zheng had a deep affection for Huizong.
Now I want to take my mother out with wishful thinking, but I don't know if my mother is willing or not!
After pondering for a while, he said: "You first rest with me for a few days and then go back, go back and tell my father and emperor for me, and treat my mother well, otherwise I will be the first to spare him, and as for the rest, don't be delusional."
Seeing that Zhao Yu said resolutely, Feng Quan had no choice but to dispel the idea of persuading again, this little highness was something he watched grow up, and he knew too well what kind of character he had.
After arranging Feng Quan and turning back to the front yard, the wine and food had already been arranged, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Yelumin, Yeluhuan and others were all there, just waiting for Zhao Yu to start the banquet.
After confessing the crime, Zhao Yu first said to Yelu Min: "My father, who kicked me out of the house, knew that after I became the general manager of Youzhou, he whimsically wanted me to sacrifice Youzhou, hehe! In fact, I don't blame him for treating me badly, more than thirty sons, how can he take care of me? ”
"Haha! His Royal Highness is really straightforward and admirable, the emperor of the Song Dynasty drove you out, that was his loss, fortunately, my Majesty the Emperor of Daliao is wise, forget it, I won't talk about business today, His Royal Highness is back, happy today, we don't get drunk and don't return"
Yelu Min didn't have any scheming, he said whatever he thought, and after finishing speaking, he directly picked up the wine glass.
"Brother Yelu is right, today I only drank wine, didn't talk about business, and I drank this glass!" ...
Driven by Zhao Yu, the banquet soon became lively.
Others don't know that Zhao Yu can only stay in Youzhou for three months, but Yelumin definitely knows, but aside from Wu Song and Lin Chong, Yelumin and Yeluhuan admire Zhao Yuyou from the bottom of their hearts.
Although Zhao Yu did not leave Youzhou for a long time, since the order to free the slaves was issued, Youzhou seemed to be injected with new vitality, more people signed up to join the army, and the city was much more lively.
These two brothers are not engaged in government affairs, the original Youzhou Tai Code was dismissed because of Yelu Dashi, so almost all the government affairs in Youzhou are now handled by Yelu Min, and they have long been tired of it, and now that Zhao Yu is back, he immediately liberated them, how can he not be happy? It's just that in his smile, Zhao Yu always feels that there is something inexplicable...
As the commander of the Royal Guard, Yelu Min has the right to deal with emergencies in his hands, but Ye Lu Min does not believe that Zhao Yu will betray Liao at all, which is trust and an intuition.
said that he didn't talk about business, but a group of old men except Zhao Yu were all people who led soldiers, and they chatted and chatted, and in the end they all talked about the quality of soldiers.
Yeluhuan said that the Mongols were strong, Yelumin said that the Jurchens were fierce, but Wu Song and Lin Chong did not participate in the debate, because there was no way, and the Great Song army was too rubbish.
"Two generals, Ah Gu was killed, do you think the Jurchens will fight or not, if they really want to fight, with our current army, can we stop them?"
Listening to Zhao Yu's words, Yelumin and Yeluhuan were stunned, and then fell silent...
