…

In the winter of the second year of Xuanhe, the weather in Bianliang, Tokyo was very cold, and as soon as winter began, there were scattered small snowflakes in the sky.

In this snowy season, he rested for more than a child, and finally led the army south to prepare to exterminate the rebellion of Fang Lana.

Zhao Ji came to the city gate in a casual car to see Tong Guan off in person.

Zhao Ji clasped Tong Guan's hand and said: "Tong Aiqing, all the affairs of the southeast will be handed over to you, and when you have to do so, you can issue an order in my name." The meaning of Zhao Ji's words is very clear, which is equivalent to granting Tong Guan imperial power.

Zhao Ji sent Tong Guan away and returned to Chongzheng Hall Soon after he sat down, Liang Shicheng, the inner servant, sent a report, saying: "Li Yan sent a large army into the clouds, and the good news was repeated in the tenth month, Yingzhou, Shuozhou, and Huanzhou were captured by the Anton army one after another, and the troops surrounded Yunzhong Mansion, and they were able to occupy half of the land in the clouds in a few days. ”

Zhao Ji gasped when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Anton Army is so powerful? ”

Liang Shicheng said: "The news that Xue Sichang came back said that Anton's soldiers were not afraid of death, and the infantry army dared to face off with the Liao State Horse Army, which was a rare force, and I am afraid that only the Jin army could compete with it." ”

Hearing Liang Shicheng say this, Zhao Ji's heart was blocked, and he said: "My Great Song Dynasty spends tens of millions of yuan on armaments every year, why don't there be such soldiers?" ”

Liang Shicheng said: "Our Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty is not weak, Tian Hu and Wang Qing have been wiped out by it, this time Taishi and Liu Yanqing led the army south, and soon captured Jiangning, Zhenjiang and other important towns along the Yangtze River, held the Yangtze River natural danger, ensured that Fang Lan's gang of thieves could not go north, and defeated the gang of thieves several times in a row, and now has been stationed in Suzhou, the next step is to point directly to Hangzhou City, I believe that it will not take long for the southeast crisis to be completely solved." ”

Liang Shicheng comforted him like this, and Zhao Ji's mood immediately improved, and then asked, "Li Yan hasn't left Taiyuan City yet?" ”

Liang Shicheng said: "Xue Sichang said that most of Li Yan's grain, grass, weapons and materials have been transported away, and he should not stay in Taiyuan City for too long." ”

Zhao Ji secretly made up his mind, and then said: "Send an edict to the Seed Master Dao, Yao Gu, and Zhekeqiu, and when all the Anton Army enters the cloud land, there is no need to ask for instructions, and seal Yanmen Pass, Chenjiagu, and Feihukou for me as soon as possible, and never allow the Anton Army to return to the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Liang Shicheng responded: "No! ”

Liang Shicheng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The Taishi sent back the news...... The reason why Fang La was able to launch such a large-scale riot was caused by Huashigang, and the people in the southeast have been plagued by Huashigang for many years, which has led to the withering of all industries and the boiling of people's grievances. ”

Zhao Ji actually knew about this, and Tan Zhi had already reported it to him one step ahead of Tong Guan.

Zhao Jizhen didn't expect that such a big disaster in the southeast would be caused by him.

Zhao Ji's ears sounded Cai Jing's words, "There is a lot of wealth in the world, and it is not appropriate to support Your Majesty alone?" ”

"Shouldn't that be the case?" Zhao Ji doesn't know whether it's appropriate or not.

Zhao Ji said: "Dismiss Zhu Mian's father and son and their relatives from their posts, and give an explanation to the people of the southeast." ”

During this time, Zhao Ji had insomnia all night long, and he was haggard - Li Yan in the north and Fang La in the south made Zhao Ji feel that his country was a little unstable.

Tong Guan dismissed the Suzhou and Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau, the Creation Bureau and Huashi Gang, and Zhao Ji dismissed Zhu Mian's father and son and their relatives from their posts.

Soon came another good news from the front, which said: Wang Yu, the commander of the infantry army under the command of Wuzhou Observer, led the army to fight bloodily and regained the city of Hangzhou, and the people of Hangzhou beat gongs and drums and took to the streets to warmly welcome Wang Shi into the city.

The situation in the southeast seems to have improved somewhat.

But Zhao Jigang breathed a sigh of relief, and Liang Shicheng brought two more very bad news:

The first, Li Yan attacked the Yunzhong Mansion, and also captured the Tianzuo Emperor, which seemed to have the potential to sweep the entire Yunzhong.

The second, Deng Xunwu died.

Zhao Ji never expected that Li Yan would be so able to fight, in just over a month, he would actually lay down half of the clouds, and swallow the other half of the clouds, you know, the Great Song Dynasty spent more than a hundred years to fail to do this, which made Zhao Ji more and more jealous of Li Yan, and made up his mind to completely solve Li Yan's trouble.

Deng Xunwu's death also made Zhao Ji very uneasy!

Deng Xunwu was one of the mainstays of the Great Song Dynasty, and he strongly opposed the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun by Lianjin during his lifetime.

At that time, Zhao Ji didn't want to listen to Deng Xunwu's words at all.

Now that Deng Xunwu is dead, all the words that Deng Xunwu once said are ringing in Zhao Ji's ears.

This made Zhao Ji start to think: "Should we go to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun?" ”

Zhao Ji ordered: "Worship Deng Xunwu as a young protector and seal the Duke of Xin." And said to the left and right: "Shao Bao died of illness, and the Great Song Dynasty is missing a cornerstone." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was the season of apricot blossoms.

Several large apricot trees on the apricot hills of Yanfu Palace bloom sparsely and scattered, which has never happened before.

The concubines and concubines in the palace were chattering in private, saying that this was not a good sign.

Zhao Ji and Concubine An also heard some rumors.

In the evening of that day, Zhao Ji and Concubine An quietly came to Xinggang to take a look.

There are some white petals hanging on the tall apricot tree, which makes people feel very melancholy and sad at first sight.

Concubine An's surname is Liu and she was born in a civilian family.

She entered the palace when she was ten years old, and served Empress Liu of Song Zhezong in Chong'en Palace.

After the death of Empress Liu, the palace maids of Chong'en Palace were "all released", but Liu Gongnu did not want to return to her shabby home, so she lived in a house surnamed He and waited for an opportunity.

Later, Yang Jian, the chief attendant, saw that Liu Gongnu had a good face, so he introduced her to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji liked it very much when he saw Liu Gongnu, and named her a talent, she was twenty-five years old that year.

Liu Cairen is not only beautiful, but also talented, intelligent, empathetic, and ingenious.

She is good at cooking, and often cooks a few side dishes for Zhao Ji to eat.

She will also cut clothes, with novel styles, and compete to imitate inside and outside the palace.

Later, Liu Cairen was gradually promoted to concubine.

Taoist priest Lin Lingsu saw that Concubine Liu Shu was favored, so he flattered her and called her "Concubine Jiuhua Yuzhenan".

Suddenly, two petals fell from the apricot tree, and they happened to fall on Zhao Ji's shoulder.

"Official, they stuck on your shoulders and didn't leave, they seem to be very spiritual." Concubine An stretched out her thin fingers and pinched the petals.

"The flowers are ruthless, and the lover disturbs himself." Song Huizong smiled reluctantly.

The merry emperor who used to be free and easy finally can't be free anymore.

Li Yan in the north, after revealing his minions, Zhao Ji knew what kind of terrifying beast was lying on his side.

Fang La, in the south, gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and it was inseparable from the more than 200,000 elites of the Great Song Dynasty.

One south and one north, if something goes wrong, it may ruin the great power of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji was afraid.

At noon on that day, a solar eclipse suddenly occurred over Tokyo.

The eclipse lasted until late in the evening, when the sky returned to normal.

This is the "dawn of the day", which indicates calamity and suffering.

Zhao Ji's heart was clouded again.

In the eyes of people at this time, the appearance of the sun means that the emperor has taken improper measures, which is a kind of warning from heaven to the emperor - a stern warning.

Zhao Ji hurriedly promulgated the "Edict of Guilt": "The people are not virtuous, and the government is uneven, so that the world is chaotic and thieves are in turmoil." I look up to the light of the three lights, and I can't cure the masses below, and I am too much. I am willing to be virtuous and upright, and speak outright, so that Kuang I can't catch it. ”

Zhao Ji hopes that the "edict of self-sin" will be used to eliminate the doubts and uneasiness in people's hearts.

However, a misfortune still befell Zhao Ji.

One night, Concubine An suddenly had a fever and shivered.

Zhao Ji urgently summoned the imperial doctor to inspect, and the imperial doctor prescribed treatment according to the symptoms of typhoid fever, but the condition not only did not decrease, but worsened.

The hospital immediately organized a consultation with the imperial doctor, but all means were exhausted and there was still no cure.

Seeing that Concubine An was in a state of mind and eating and drinking, Zhao Ji was anxious but helpless.

On this day, Zhao Ji was discussing with Wang Hao in the Chongzheng Palace, and suddenly came the news that Concubine An was critically ill.

Zhao Ji hurriedly came to Huining Palace, only to see Concubine An lying quietly on the bed with her eyes closed, her face pale and her breathing weak.

Zhao Ji walked to the side of the bed and gently shook Concubine An's hand.

Zhao Ji's hand seemed to have magical power, and Concubine An's face suddenly became rosy.

Concubine An slowly opened her eyes, smiled, and said, "The official family is here." ”

Zhao Ji nodded.

Concubine An moved slightly, holding Zhao Ji's hand hard, with affection, tears welling up: "The concubine was born in a humble background, and now she has to meet the grace of the saint, her wish is enough, although she has no regrets in death!" ”

Zhao Ji also cried silently.

"Although the concubine is buried in the nine springs, her soul does not leave the official family, and she hopes that the official family will always think about the living beings in the world, and focus on the temple and the society. The concubine couldn't bear to leave, but the fate was here, and the official family should take care of the Holy Communion, and don't miss it too much......"

Concubine An was still unsatisfied, but her voice stopped abruptly.

Her face was still ruddy, her hands were warm, and her body was soft.

Zhao Ji didn't believe that she left like this, he hugged Concubine An's body and sobbed.

Concubine An really left like this, leaving Zhao Ji with three sons and one daughter.

Concubine An is the little Concubine Liu, following the eldest Concubine Liu and Master Li, Zhao Ji's favorite woman.

Zhao Ji issued an edict to posthumously crown Concubine An as the queen, and said: "Ming Festival", for several days, tea and dinner did not think.

It was at this moment that the golden envoy came.

In this eventful autumn, Zhao Ji had no interest in recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Moreover, Zheng Zhongju tried his best to persuade: "The official family, don't have the idea of recovering Yanjing anymore, keep the ancestors' society, and be worthy of the sky and the people, it is enough." At present, Li Yan's power is large, and there is a possibility of going south at any time, and the situation in the southeast is turbulent, so it is definitely not a smart move to destroy Liao at this time. ”

Zhao Ji realized that Zheng Zhongju might be right.

Therefore, Zhao Ji, who no longer wanted to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, did not want to see the golden envoy,

Wang Hao knew what Zhao Ji meant, so he ordered Wang Shizhong, the governor of Dengzhou, to drag the golden envoy.

Wang Shizhong persuaded him with good words, served the golden envoy with good food and drink, and tried his best to keep the golden envoy stranded in Dengzhou.

But Wang Shizhong's intentions were quickly known by the Jin envoy.

The Jin envoy was furious, and secretly made a note to Zhao Jijunchen, and at the same time threatened Wang Shizhong: "If Wang Zhizhou doesn't send someone to send us to Bianliang, Tokyo, then we will go by ourselves." ”

This time, the Jin envoys didn't just come for the Maritime Alliance, they urgently needed to know what was going on with Li Yan's gang, and how could they stay in Dengzhou for a long time?

Wang Shizhong saw that he couldn't stop the Jin envoy, so he had to send a carriage to carry them on the road, and at the same time, he sent a fast horse to gallop to report to the imperial court, so that the imperial court could be prepared......
