Chapter 66: Summoned by the Son of Heaven
Zhao Rui listened and said with a puzzled face: "No, why don't I feel a little bored?" ”
By the time Zhao Rui finished speaking, Zhao Gong had already left the carriage.
Originally, when Zhao Gong was there, there was still a sentence to say, but now that he is gone, Zhao Xiaoyi is a little disdainful of Arjuna's arrogance, Arjuna is also a character who looks down on people, and no one speaks for a while, which makes Zhao Rui a little bored.
Outside the car, the Jingjiang boundary had already run out, and the trampling of the war could be seen everywhere outside, and some crops had even been burned.
Unlike modern times, the sides of the road were deserted, except for the sound of the whirring wind pouring into the carriages.
Zhao Rui was also inconvenient to cultivate the talisman at this time, so he just enjoyed himself and hummed a song in his mouth.
"Eh, Zhao Rui, what are you singing, you actually have some of the charm of our Uighurs?"
Zhao Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, since she moved to Jingjiang, she had never heard these country tunes, and now the tunes that lingered in her ears made her even feel a little homesick.
"Desert Camel! It's been very ...... recently" Zhao Rui was stunned and couldn't help but wonder. Thinking that they are ancients, it is naturally impossible for them to have heard this song.
"Sing it loud and I'll listen to it!" Zhao Xiaoyi begged happily.
Zhao Rui turned his head to look at Arjuna, and saw that although she didn't say anything, she also had a faint look of expectation on her face.
"Okay."
Zhao Rui stood up and held on to the door frame, the tone of this song is really high, Zhao Rui is afraid that he will not be able to sing it while sitting.
"I'm going to cross this desert to find my true self, with only a camel by my side. The wind blows, the white clouds drift by, and suddenly there is a river of love......"
Zhao Rui helped the door to sing in the wind, and actually sang out of his feelings, and roared out the confusion and depression in his chest!
After singing the song, Zhao Rui turned around, and the two women were stunned.
Xiao Yi clasped her hands together, looked at Zhao Rui stupidly, a pair of beautiful eyes had tears flowing, and murmured: "Childe, woo, it's so good, I can't imagine that Childe has also been to the desert......"
This song "Desert Camel" has a strong style in the Western Regions, and it immediately hit the strong nostalgia in Zhao Xiaoyi's heart.
And Arjuna was completely shocked by Zhao Rui's voice, she couldn't have imagined that under Zhao Rui's seemingly polite appearance, there was such a free and heroic soul, Arjuna felt that her heart was shaken by his singing.
Music not only knows no borders, but also transcends time and space......
"Official...... Have you ever been to the steppe? ”
Arjuna's eyes softened, as if she was about to drip water, and this time she was really emotional.
Zhao Rui, who was called by an official, was numb, this is the name of a woman in the Southern Song Dynasty for her husband, representing Arjuna's desperate affection for Zhao Rui.
"Been to ......"
Zhao Rui nodded solemnly, then stood up and sang again.
"Blue sky, galloping horses...... Enye ~ yes...... And your girl, this is my home...... Ahh......h
The high-pitched and loud singing voice floated on the road, and the thirty soldiers accompanying him listened quietly without making any noise, while Arjuna in the carriage was already red.
She seemed to hear the melodiousness of the horse-head harp, and between the blue sky and the grassland, Arjuna became the lively and lovely little girl again, she picked a handful of bright yellow summer styles, ran with a smile, and jumped into her father's arms, whose beard would make her itch and gurgle, and then lift her high.
Why does it have to be war?
Why did the Mongols have to kill the Song people?
Why can't we be together peacefully, so that I can take Zhao Rui back to my hometown and see the endless green grassland......
Zhao Rui has a holy decree, and the cities he passes through are all unimpeded, originally Zhao Rui had a large number of goods on the car, and he must have to pay taxes, but Zhao Rui showed the holy decree with a big smile, and those officers and soldiers knelt down, how could anyone come forward to check?
The journey was long, and the carriage was not as fast as riding a horse, so everyone traveled for nearly three days and three nights before finally arriving in Lin'an.
Along the way, Zhao Rui soaked some water bombs and played with the remaining AK toys.
Later, everyone played a simulated riding and archery game, and everyone had a lot of fun.
When the convoy arrived at the Lin'an Palace, it was exactly morning.
Zhao Rui passed the inspection in accordance with the rules, and slowly entered the palace with the team.
At this time, someone deliberately ran to Jia Yidao's house to inform him.
"What! Zhao Rui is here! ”
Jia Yidao felt that the crickets were boring in the past few days, and when he got the news, he hurriedly got into the sedan chair and went straight to the palace.
In the palace hall, a kind of ministers are chatting casually, the emperor has not been to the court for more than ten consecutive days, and they are also used to being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day.
Order in the morning and spend the whole day at leisure.
At this time, Eunuch Xiao, the head of internal affairs, walked in from the back of the palace first, and the ministers looked blank, thinking that it was still an announcement of immediate retreat.
Who knew that Gonggong Xiao saw the chaos of the ministers below, and said with a straight face: "The emperor has arrived ......"
Ooh! What a surprise!
The emperor actually went to court today!
The ministers hurriedly found their places.
"Long live my emperor...... Hooray. ”
"Well, get up."
Emperor Zhao Yuan went to the court drowsily, with two dark circles under his eyes, and it seemed that he had tossed a lot last night.
"Xiao Xiaozi, didn't you say that Zhao Rui is here, what about people?"
Gonggong Xiao hurriedly bowed down and said, "Back to the emperor, someone is waiting outside the palace, I will announce him in." ”
"Xuan, Zhao Rui is here!"
The ministers in the audience didn't know why, and they all turned their heads and ears, and no one knew who Zhao Rui was.
After a while, I saw a handsome young man walking up to the temple with a graceful woman.
The young man was dressed in a jade-colored robe, handsome eyebrows, delicate and graceful, and then looked at the woman, but she was only in her twenties, but her facial features were delicate and upright, and her beautiful face showed a rare heroic spirit of a woman in the Central Plains, and the two of them were like golden boys and girls.
Not only did the ministers sigh at the appearance of the two, but even Zhao Yuan also praised them.
"Yes, yes, no wonder the ability is extraordinary, and you can see three points by your appearance."
Zhao Rui and Arjuna followed the customs of the locals and bowed.
"Haha, please get up!"
Zhao Yuan was suddenly interested, and a pair of eyes took special care of Arjuna's face, and Arjuna showed disgust on her face.
But Zhao Yuan was not annoyed, and secretly shouted in his heart, Princess Da Yuan is really extraordinary, tired of seeing the harem concubines all obedient and submissive, I feel that this Tartar princess is really delicious!
There was silence in the hall for a while, and Zhao Yuan noticed that Zhao Rui was holding a big bag in his hand.
"Oh? What did Zhao Rui take, could it be that he couldn't issue a card? ”
"Exactly!"
Zhao Rui spread out the bag, and there were seventy or eighty hairpins of various colors inside, flashing with dazzling light.
"The villain's new card is specially brought to the emperor and the ministers to express their hearts."
Oh!
Only then did the ministers know the origin of Zhao Rui, it turned out that he was the famous businessman in Jingjiang Mansion, and now it is difficult to find cards in Lin'an City, these are really rare things.
In order to curry favor with Xinna's concubines, some ministers begged everywhere to buy and issue cards, but they returned in vain.
Now it's okay, find a young man named Zhao Rui and send it to the door.
"Quick! Show me it! ”
Gonggong Xiao next to him hurriedly took the bag and put it in front of Zhao Yuan.
"Well...... Not bad. ”
Zhao Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "I left them all, the concubines in the harem are not enough, don't ask for it!" ”
The emperor is strong and upright, and the following ministers naturally dare not say that half is not.
Zhao Yuan felt that there was something else he hadn't asked, but looking at Arjuna's delicate face, he couldn't care about anything.
"Zhao Rui, I have accepted your gift, you can leave for the time being, Princess Arjuna stayed, and went to my harem to teach those concubines to ride horses and shoot arrows, wouldn't it be extremely interesting!"
"Ah...... There's something wrong with that......"
Zhao Rui was stunned, he didn't know what to say, is this emperor really an idiot? Did he think Arjuna's princess name was air?
All the ministers are all old gods, and they are very clear in their hearts, this is the emperor who has taken a fancy to this woman. But she's a princess of the Yuan Dynasty? The ministers were a little incredulous, if it was really a princess, the emperor would do this, I am afraid that he would anger the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty!
And the harem is the emperor's back garden, and when he gets there, he doesn't go to whoever he wants?
Arjuna frowned slightly, this emperor didn't have any good intentions, and he was determined in his heart, if anyone dared to step forward and use force, he would kill out of the palace in a big way, even if he died on the spot.
Zhao Rui also secretly glanced at several guards in the hall, seeing their pampered appearance, Zhao Rui was confident that he could rush out unscathed.
Zhao Gong waited outside the hall with the convoy, and when he got into the carriage and got the M16, Zhao Rui was not afraid of anything.
Just when Zhao Rui wanted to make a move, a shrill voice of a eunuch came from outside the hall: "The master is here!" ”
The ministers' faces were solemn, and their attitudes were much more respectful than that of the emperor, which shows the power of the Taishi to the government and the opposition!
"Hey, the master is here, sit down, sit down!"
Zhao Rui was a little dumbfounded, seeing that Emperor Zhao Yuan actually got up to greet him, and urged the eunuch to move the chair, and he thought that the eunuch was too slow, so he also took a hand by the way.
Who is the emperor exactly?
Zhao Rui was really a little blindsided.
Zhao Rui looked at the person, an old man with a strong spirit but a lewd temperament, his face was oily and red, obviously a pampered person. He was wearing a purple first-class official robe, with a gold belt around his waist, and his momentum was unmatched.
"Hehe, the emperor is diligent today."
Jia Yidao sat down with a smile, and sarcastically ridiculed Zhao Yuan by the way.
"The master has won the award, I just drank tiger whip wine, and I was too excited to fall asleep for a while, haha......"
Zhao Rui trembled, this is a second fool emperor?
Jia Yidao had no intention of chatting, laughed twice perfunctorily, and asked the seat: "Is it Zhao Rui of Jingjiang Mansion?" ”
"Hui Taishi, it is the villain." Zhao Rui replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"So it's true that you killed more than 2,000 Tartars and let tens of thousands of Yuan troops retreat? By the way, where is your musket, show me it! ”
Jia Yidao looked at Zhao Rui and felt that the top of his hall was as plain as usual, and there must be something extraordinary.
