Chapter 820: Regaining "Freedom" (Ask for Subscription!) )
…
With Li Yan's voice: "Serve." One after another, the wine and dishes began to be brought up by the palace maids one after another.
Every time a dish is served, the palace maid has to announce the name of the dish loudly.
Zhao Gou counted it in his heart, and successively served a total of twelve dishes, namely: two-cooked perilla fish, meat vinegar and intestinal shachovid, steamed lychee kidney, milk boiled lamb gizzard, lotus duck, hand-washed crab, green onion splashed rabbit, fried lungs, weeping sheep's head in false sauce, crab stuffed orange, fresh shrimp hooves, mandarin duck fried belly.
There is also a soup and a soup: barilla soup and goose gizzard palm soup.
In the end, the palace maid brought up a jar of Guanglu wine - the wine jar was dark red, and the mouth of the jar was covered with yellow silk.
Zhao Gou knows this wine, this is Huangfeng wine, the national wine produced by Guanglu Temple in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the imperial wine in the mouths of the people.
This imperial wine is very small, not to mention Zhao Gou, even Zhao Gou's father, Zhao Ji, is usually reluctant to drink it.
Zhao Gou really didn't expect that Li Yan would casually take it out and share it with his concubines.
Zhao Gouxin said: "This thief is not only lustful, but also a greedy person!" ”
And yet—
Zhao Gou guessed wrong this time.
After opening the bottle, the strong aroma of the wine gradually wafted out.
A good drinker will never resist this temptation.
But Li Yan only drank a small cup, and then he didn't drink it anymore - Li Yan can drink, but he is never greedy for a cup, to put it simply, Li Yan is very single-minded, so he has to be a woman, and the rest, as far as Li Yan is concerned, are all floating clouds.
After he was full of wine and food, Li Yancai wiped his mouth, and then said to Zhao Gou: "Your mother and Wan'er are both women I love, and they hope that I can let you live." ”
Speaking of this, Li Yan glanced at Xing Bingyi, Tian Chunluo, and Jiang Zuimei again, and then said: "In addition to them, there are many of my women, and I also hope that I can let you live." ”
As soon as Li Yan said this, Xing Bingyi, Tian Chunluo, Jiang Zuimei, and even Zhang Xin'er and Liu Meiren lowered their heads.
One day husband and wife for 100 days, who can really be absolutely ruthless? If they have a choice, how can they hope that the former pillow person will end up with a tragic death, and even, some of them hope to go back to the past, Zhao Gou is still the unambitious prince, they accompany Zhao Gou and grow old with Zhao Gou.
It's a pity that creation makes people!
Li Yan continued: "I will not make the women I love sad, so, for the sake of the faces of these women of mine, I will give you a chance, you change your surname to me, and from now on you will be called Li Gou, I heard that you are well-read and memorized, and you can write well, then go and be a compiler and a cultivator." ”
Taking away Zhao Gou's "Zhao" surname is basically equivalent to taking away Zhao Gou's Zhao Song inheritance - as long as Zhao Gou agrees to have the surname "Li" with Li Yan, then Zhao Gou's life is basically abolished, even if Zhao Song can really be restored in the future, Zhao Gou will never be the emperor of Zhao Song again.
It can be said that Li Yan's knife was pierced accurately and ruthlessly, piercing directly into Zhao Gou's soft underbelly, completely defeating Zhao Gou, so that Zhao Gou would never have the possibility of turning over, so that he could either be an ordinary person obediently, and an ordinary person who has always been supervised, or be a dead man.
Webster and Wu quickly understood what Li Yan meant.
Wei desperately gave Zhao Gou a look, urging Zhao Gou to hurry up and thank him.
And Wu, although she also wanted to urge Zhao Gou, she knew that once she did this, it would likely backfire and harm Zhao Gou.
In the end, the Wu family could only choose to remain silent and secretly pray for Zhao Gou!
What Wei and Wu can think of, how can Zhao Gou not think of it?
But Zhao Gou was unwilling and unwilling to fail completely.
And yet—
Then again, what if you are unwilling? The current situation is that Li Yan is a knife warrior, Zhao Gou is a fish and meat, if Zhao Gou does not know the current affairs, he may die on the spot in the next moment.
In the end, although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, Zhao Gou still chose to live, and then knelt down to Li Yan and said, "Child Li Gou, knock to see your father." ”
Hearing this, Li Yan nodded, and said, "Good son." ”
After speaking, Li Yan got up and left, and said as he walked: "You can also sit down and eat, if you can't eat, take it back to eat." ”
Seeing Li Yan leaving, Li Yan's concubines left one after another.
One of them walked faster than the other, for fear of having a relationship with Zhao Gou, no, for fear of getting involved with Li Gou, and then causing Li Yan's misunderstanding!
And among them, the fastest one belonged to the Wu family - she was tall and tall, and she quickly crossed the crowd, and then came to Li Yan's side and back.
Walking, walking, Li Yan stretched out his hand and put his arm around Wu's waist and took Wu into his arms.
Wu did not resist, obediently snuggled in Li Yan's arms, and left with Li Yan.
Wei Shi did not leave in a hurry, but came to Li Gou's side and said, "Your choice just now is right, nothing is more important than being alive." ”
While speaking, Wei secretly stuffed a small bag to Li Gou, which contained ten Dongzhu trees and a passbook of 10,000 yuan.
Li Gou knew the importance of money to him now, so he hurriedly put away this small bag.
Wei Shi said: "Gou'er, you have to remember that your father will never give you a second chance, once you can't abide by your duty, he will definitely kill you without hesitation, so, you must be an ordinary person obediently, don't think about restoration, the emperor is not everyone can be, that not only needs to have the ability to set up the sea, but also needs luck, the Great Song Dynasty has completely died, there is no possibility of recovering the country, with your experience, you have the opportunity to be an ordinary person, it is already a great luck, you must cherish it!" ”
Although Li Gou was very tired of the words "your father and emperor", and was very disgusted by Wei's statement that "there is no possibility of the restoration of the Great Song Dynasty", Li Gou still responded respectfully: "The child understands. ”
Wei didn't dare to delay here for too long, so seeing that Li Gou responded to what she said, she hurriedly said: "It's good that my son is sensible, and I will find a chance to see you for my mother in the future, and then I will take your two younger brothers to let you see." And then he left.
When Wei went away, suddenly a maid came to Li Gou's side.
The maid said to Li Gou: "I am the maid of the torture mother, and my mother asked me to give this to you." ”
While speaking, the maid also gave Zhao Gou a bag, which was full of bags of gold, silver and jewelry, and the value should be not much less than what Webster gave to Zhao Gou.
But—
Unlike the bag given by Wei Shi who happily accepted it, in the face of the bag given to him by Xing Bingyi, Li Gou hesitated!
The reason why Li Gou did not accept the gold, silver and jewelry given to him by Bingyi was naturally because he was afraid that this bag of gold and silver jewelry would bring him death.
Seeing this, the maid said: "It doesn't hurt you to take it, my mother-in-law has already told the official family about this matter, and the official family agrees that my mother-in-law will help you, and besides, this gold, silver and jewelry is not given to you for free, my mother-in-law uses it to buy the same thing with you." ”
Hearing this, Li Gou asked, "What do you buy?" ”
The maid said, "My mother said, you know what it is." ”
"I know what it is?" Li Gou muttered.
Seeing this, the maid said: "My mother also said that that thing is in your hands, and it may bring you death, so sell it to her, and the two of you will be completely cut off." ”
As soon as the maid said this, Li Gou immediately understood what Xing Bingyi wanted to buy from him.
At the beginning, less than a year after Li Gou and Xing Bingyi got married, Li Gou was going to envoy to Jinying.
When they parted, Xing Bingyi took off one of his earrings and gave it to Li Gou, saying that in the future, when you see this ring, you will see the body of a concubine.
The earrings were kept in a small gold box.
Later, when Li Gou fled south in a hurry, he even threw away the ancestral god tablet, and did not forget to run with this small gold box.
It can be seen that Li Gou attaches great importance to this earring or to the owner of this earring, Xing Bingyi.
And yet—
This earring, Li Gou can't keep it anymore no matter what.
It is not a good thing to keep it any longer, whether it is for Li Gou or Xing Bingyi.
Therefore, although he was very reluctant, Li Gou still took out the small gold box containing the rings of Bingyi from his arms, and then entrusted it to the maid, and said: "Please help me tell the torture mother, I wish her happiness." ”
The maid took the small gold box and said: "Of course my mother will be happy, do you know that my mother gave birth to three sons to the official family in three years, what a blessing this is, it is comparable to others, so ah, if you really once loved my mother, don't do stupid things, don't hurt my mother!" ”
After saying this, the maid stuffed Xing Bingyi's gold and silver jewelry to Li Gou, and then turned around and left.
Touching the cold jewelry in his hand, Li Gou secretly regretted it!
Knowing that today, he might as well lead the army back to save Bianliang City, save his father and brother, save his people, save Bingyi and his concubines and her five daughters!
In that case, he would never have lived such a life!
It's a pity -
There is no regret in this world that the medicine is sold!
Therefore, after standing quietly for a while, Li Gou said to the maid on the side: "Please help me set up this table, Your Majesty will reward it to me." ”
Hearing this, the maid brought the lunch box, loaded all the leftovers that Li Yan and the others had eaten, and then handed them to Li Gou.
Li Gou took the lunch box, then carried it in his hand, and followed the guards who escorted him back to the place where he was under house arrest.
This is the last night Li Gou has been under house arrest, and tomorrow he will regain his "freedom".
……
In the fourth year of the Great Unification, mid-February.
Wang Yanqin led a large army to break through the last city held by the Song army, and stabbed Tang Chong, the last diehard of the Song Dynasty, in a street battle.
The Sichuan-Shaanxi region was completely recovered.
Subsequently, under the orders of the imperial court, Wu Jue personally sat in Shudi, Wang Yan sat in Shaanxi, and Zhang Xian led the army to continue westward, preparing to recover the Longyou Protectorate.
Longyou Duhufu was an administrative region of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was part of Chinese territory during the Song Dynasty.
During the Jingkang period, it was abandoned by the Song Dynasty due to the invasion of the Jin people, the occupation of Xining by the Western Xia, and the rebellion of the Tubo people.
To be fair, the Song Dynasty's abandonment of the Longyou Capital Protectorate is not unreasonable.
This Longyou, the situation is quite complicated, the Western Xia, Tubo, Khotan, Gaochang Uighurs surrounded there, although the local people have a very high degree of sinicization, but it has always been, whoever is strong, they will be attached to whom, who is strong, who will govern there.
After decades of efforts by several generations of emperors from Song Shenzong to Song Huizong and Song Dynasty, more than 20 years ago, Zhao Ji sent Wang Hou and Tong Guan to finally completely recover the six prefectures of Tang, Die, Tao, Min, He, and Lin, which increased the territory of the Song Dynasty by more than 2,000 li, and in the Qinzhou area at the junction of the Qingtang regime and the Song Dynasty, there were more than 200,000 Tubo tribesmen who belonged to the Song Dynasty. Finally destroyed this six-generation local government in the northwest, completely occupied the Hehuang region, and also allowed the Song Dynasty to get a good land for horses.
It's a pity that the Battle of Jingkang broke out, so that the land of Longyou became a borderless land again, and the remnants of the Song Dynasty, Western Xia, Tubo, Khotan, and Gaochang Uighurs began to chase for deer there.
At the beginning, before the Song Dynasty was preparing to send troops to recover the land of Longyou, Wang Shao, an official of the Song Shenzong Dynasty, presented a plan to the newly enthroned Song Shenzong to comprehensively expound the strategy of Western Xia.
In this plan, known as the "Pingrong Strategy", Wang Shao prescribes a powerful antidote to the Song Dynasty's century-old ill in the northwest—if you want to defeat the Western Xia, you must first occupy the nearby Hehuang region. Only by conquering the local Tibetan tribes could the flanks of Western Xia be cut off. In one fell swoop, he eliminated the hateful party regime and relieved the northwestern border of the Song Dynasty.
It is not difficult to see from this that the Dazhong Imperial Court sent troops to recover the land of Longyou, which was actually aimed at Western Xia.
……
A month later, that is, in April of the fourth year of the Great Unification, Yue Fei ordered the construction of 5,000 warships that could adapt to the water battle of Dongting Lake, and then ordered the land and water to attack the Yang Qi rebels.
Yue Fei personally set up the formation: divided troops to blockade Xiangyin, Qiaokou, Yiyang, Gong'an, Nanyangdu and other important places in the lake area, so that Yang Yizhong led the army to Ding and Li, and attacked Yang Mi, Xia Cheng and other villages from the upstream.
In May, Yang Yizhong went to Dingzhou, sent Yang Hua to the village, infiltrated Yang Mo's subordinates, lured the rebels, and at the same time, placed the ships in the village to carry out military threats.
At the beginning of June, Yang Qin, the leader of the rebel army in Dazhai in Xunzhou Village, Longyang, led 3,000 men and warships to surrender.
Soon, the rest of the leaders of Dazhai Liu Heng, Jin Cong, Liu Xu, Huang Zuo and others also recruited one after another.
Most of the rebels were disintegrated, but Yang Qi and Xia Cheng were still fortified.
Yang Yi knew that the terrain of the lake area was unpredictable and that the rebels' vehicles and boats were difficult to deal with, so he sent people to open the weir gate to drain the water, put rafts to block the ports in the lake, and scattered grass on the lake.
Yang Mi led the crowd to break through, lost the battle, was captured and killed, and the rest of the people were annihilated.
Xia Cheng defended his village and was also broken by the official army.
At this point, Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi's rebels were completely wiped out, and Dazhong completely completed the initial unification.
Li Yan did not let go of Manan Mountain, but secretly ordered Yue Fei: prepare to attack Dali.
At the same time, Li Yan also secretly ordered Wang Lun, Shi Bao, Hua Rong and others to prepare for a comprehensive capture of the Indochina Peninsula.
September.
Dazhong mobilized more than one million craftsmen and millions of people (the extra ones were recruited by Wang Shiyong later), and spent more than one billion yuan to build the palace.
Previously, the railway from Tokyo to Yanjing that Li Yan wanted to build had already been repaired to Yizhou in the north and the Yellow River in the south, and the Yellow River viaduct specially built for trains was almost completed.
Moreover, the train has been in trial operation for several months.
On the basis of these premises, Li Yan formally proposed: In May next year, that is, in May of the fifth year of the Great Unification, the capital will be moved, and the capital of Dazhong will be moved from Tokyo to Yanjing.
said that the capital will be moved in May next year, in fact, from Li Yan's order to move the capital, Dazhong has already begun to move the capital - moving the capital is a very cumbersome matter, it is not just a move, or a shift in the center of gravity of the empire's power, therefore, there are too many things to be done and to be considered, so it is impossible to do a one-size-fits-all approach, as for May next year, it will be the day Li Yan leaves Tokyo.
Now, Li Yan is holding on to the power of unification, who dares to disobey Li Yan's intentions?
What's more, Li Yanqian's slogan is still: The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!
This excuse is firmly supported by hundreds of millions of people.
Therefore, although there are many people who are reluctant to move the capital because their own interests are damaged, they also have to pinch their noses and obediently move the capital......
