Chapter 122: The Reserve Official's Family
As soon as Su Jingzhan's body moved, he was about to step forward to help the child, but his sleeves were tightened and he was pulled by someone. Looking back, it was Jiang Zongjie who shook his head lightly at himself.
At this moment, a woman's cry came from the cabin: "Woo! Whoa! Give me back! ”
When he went out of the hatch and saw the situation in front of him, he cried even more: "What a slave! He jumped forward and picked up the child and held it tightly in his arms.
Liu Zhongxiao frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
The head of the brand lifted up the jacket, pointed to the hem and a stain on the left boot, and said indignantly: "If you go back to Qianhu, the little one will go into the cabin to check, and see that this child is lying in bed, and he looks panicked." stepped forward to interrogate, who knew that this kid, this kid actually vomited a small body......"
The crowd was dumbfounded. Su Liuyi's father and son, Jiang Zongjie and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly inserted the hidden blade in their sleeves back into the sheath.
Su Jingzhan hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, took out a dime of broken silver from his sleeve, handed it to the head of the brand, and confessed: "This military master, I really can't help it, the boy is seasick, and when he sees the military master's might, he is afraid for a while...... If you are offended, let the money be used to buy some cloth and make a new garment. ”
The head of the brand grabbed the broken silver, and his face looked better, and he said stupidly: "You know each other." "After saluting Liu Zhongxiao and the military generals, the search continued.
Su Liu Yi resisted the urge to step forward to check if the child was okay, and said to the woman with a straight face: "What kind of body is it to cry in front of the general?" Don't hurry back to the cabin soon. ”
The woman did not dare to say more, and the sobbing child was turning around, but a voice with a stiff tongue said, "Slow! ”
The se-eyed general touched his beard, his gray-brown eyes were fixed on the child, and said, "How can there be children on this boat?" ”
Su Liuyi bowed his hand slightly: "The mountains and rivers are withered, the countryside is broken, and the whole family goes to the sea." One is to avoid trouble, and the other is to beg for food, and that's it. ”
The Semu Army General coldly glanced back and forth between Su Liuyi and the child, and retracted his gaze. Although this maritime merchant did not listen to his words and was suspected of slandering the imperial court, this was the case. During his tenure in Leizhou, it was not uncommon to see people fleeing across the sea with their families, and this kind of thing had long been commonplace and did not care.
The general only said coldly: "What does this little girl have to do with you?" ”
Su Liuyi sighed: "The grandson of the same countryman, his family is in the middle of the road, and the world is difficult, so he just went south to find a way to live." ”
The general didn't ask any more questions, and Liu Zhongxiao waved his hand when he saw this. The woman hurried away with the child in her arms. The child was so badly thrown that he walked with a limp, sobbing incessantly, coughing from time to time, and never daring to look up.
Su Liuyi's father and son and Jiang Zongjie all faced it calmly, their demeanor was calm, and they heard the sound of one big and one small footsteps stepping on the deck getting farther away, and their hanging hearts finally let go.
No wonder these three outstanding people who have experienced strong winds and waves are so tight, it is really that this child is too important, even if this boat sinks, this child must be saved.
Because this child is called Zhao Dan! The eleventh grandson of Taizong, the son of Yingzong, and the descendant of Zhao Hao, King of Wurong.
Zhao Dan is only ten years old, and his background is not noble, and his father is just a priest in Yingde Mansion. The royal family of the Song Dynasty was scattered and widely distributed, and sometimes an inconspicuous petty official may be a descendant of the royal family. For example, Zhao Yun, the legendary civilian emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, was born as a small eunuch. Although Zhao Danzu's ancestors have also been "wide", they have been very distant from his father's branch. If it weren't for Ma Nanbao's order to search for Su Liuyi, he wouldn't have known that such a number one person existed.
Zhao Dan lost his father at a young age, and his mother remarried and fostered in his uncle's house, and his uncle knew Ma Nanbao well. The woman was his aunt.
Su Liuyi's secret mission on this trip was to take Zhao Dan to Yafu for the Empress Dowager Yang and the courtiers to decide. The reason why Zhao Dan was selected was that in addition to the slaughter of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, he really couldn't find a few suitable candidates, and the biggest advantage was his age.
Ten years old, not too big, not too small, not easy to die, and easy to control, which is very in line with the interests of Empress Dowager Yang, Yang Liangjie and other imperial relatives. As for Wen Tianxiang, Chen Yizhong, Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi and other military generals, they don't want an emperor who is half a big and not too small to be on the throne from the bottom of their hearts. For these civil and military ministers, the state affairs are so ruined, they really can't stand the toss of a mediocre emperor. Unless it is a Ming Jun, but the Ming Jun can not be found, then retreat to the next best - the Hypocrisy.
The official family is in the middle of the ban, and foreign affairs are all decided by the ministers. The emperor only needs to do one thing and become a spiritual symbol of the subjects of the world.
Therefore, this Zhao Dan is completely in line with the interests of China and foreign countries. Since they were stationed in the Yafu Mansion, Su Liuyi and Ma Nanbao have gone to the Empress Dowager Yang many times, asking to bring Zhao Dan over as soon as possible to avoid changes. At the beginning, Empress Dowager Yang still had illusions, for fear that taking Zhao Dan over would threaten the throne of her own emperor. But a few months have passed, and there has been no news from Zhao Yu, the young emperor of Xiangxing. Every day passed, he added a little more despair, and finally even his brother Yang Liangjie persuaded him. Empress Dowager Yang was desperate, so she could only agree to the courtiers' request.
Therefore, for Su Liuyi and others, this child is the future emperor! was thrown and scolded in front of him, how could he not lose his color. Fortunately, Zhao Dan was fine, and the matter was over.
After the hiccup, nothing more. Hundreds of new annexed troops inspected all seven merchant ships, including people and goods, but under Jiang Zongjie's meticulous arrangement, nothing was found.
Liu Zhongxiao and the military general discussed in a low voice for a while, then raised his head and said loudly to Su Liuyi and the others: "Qiongzhou has been banned from the sea recently, and within half a month, a piece of sail will not be allowed to cross the sea." You must turn to Leizhou and anchor, and wait for the marshal to lift the ban before crossing the sea. ”
Su Liuyi's heart sank, he and Jiang Zongjie glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly: "General, can you accommodate one or two......
Before Liu Zhongxiao could speak, General Semu interrupted coldly: "The marshal's order, who dares to disobey!" No matter how dare you say more, you ships can't even go to Leizhou Port. Do you believe it or not? ”
Su Liuyi glanced at Jiang Zongjie beside him, who shook his head slightly, signaling that he could not fight anymore and had another idea.
People are under the eaves, can they not bow their heads?
Su Liuyi sighed secretly in his heart, so he could only find another way and make every effort to convey volunteers and courage when Ali's army in The Hague attacked the city, and relieved the difficulties of the dynasty.
Ali Hague did this to prevent maritime merchants from spying on military planes and reporting to the Xing Dynasty, so he directly blocked the sea. He estimated that it would take less than a month, maybe half a month, to destroy the dying Yafu Dynasty in one fell swoop, and then open the sea again. As for the losses of the maritime merchants, they were not within his consideration.
After the inspection, the Yuan army withdrew from the encirclement, and the merchant ships turned their rudders, making them to the northwest.
The color eye army and Liu Zhongxiao stood side by side, looking at the distant sail shadow, remembering the jewels in the brocade box, and then couldn't hold it back, three steps and two steps turned around and entered the cabin. After his figure disappeared, Liu Zhongxiao still stood still in the bow of the ship, his eyes revealed a shrewdness that was not commensurate with his rough face, and he whispered: "Su Liuyi, in the past, you spared my brother's life, today I let you go, you and I have cleared our accounts, and we will meet on the battlefield in Japan, and we will not blame Liu for being ruthless!" ”
