Chapter 60: Descendants of King Xiu
"Zhao Mengbei, Gengshen Nianrun, the seventh day of the fourth month, was born in Lin'an on an auspicious day. Taizu Hou also. Shaotong Tongtong Tongdao Guande Zhaogong Zhewen Shen Wuming Shengchengxiao Emperor (Song Xiaozong) brother Xiu Wang Bogui descendants, father and consideration, mother Mrs. Chen. Zongshu Ji diary: Ninety-two taels and seven coins, yellow hair, ruddy skin...... There is a red mole on the left dorsal blade. Yihai Year Sect Supplement: Sect Meng Bei, 15 years old, 5 feet 6 inches long, slightly long face, fine eyebrows, nose and mouth square...... There is a red mole on the left dorsal blade. ”
Hearing the female official behind the curtain reciting the clan information, she repeatedly mentioned "Zhao Mengbei". Zhao Lie finally understood that he had been misunderstood.
If it was two or three days earlier, Zhao Lie really didn't know who Zhao Mengbei was, but now he knew. The nephew of Xiuwang Zhao and Wei, the son of Zhao Hexi, the younger brother of Xiuwang, was a young martyr who died in Ruian Mansion. But where is this? How can I get involved with an ancient person who can't get along at all?
Zhao Lie is also a probationary police officer, and logical analysis is his strength.
The first thing that can be confirmed is the jade pendant. This ancestral jade pendant is really not ordinary, its first owner is Zhao Mengbei, so the jade pendant is engraved with the word "preparation". It is very likely that after Zhao Mengbei became righteous, this jade was lost and fell into the hands of Zhao Lie's ancestors. The cracks on this jade pendant may be the testimony of this young martyr's bloody battle against Ryan.
Second, the portrait. Zhao Lie looks quite similar to Zhao Mengbei. This can be confirmed from Wen Tianxiang's expression when he first saw Zhao Lie. Wen Tianxiang once visited King Xiu in the second year of Deyou and saw Zhao Mengbei in the house. At that time, Zhao Mengbei also asked this champion for poetry and books, so Wen Tianxiang was quite impressed. and then confirmed with the jade pendant, he identified his "identity" and reported it to the queen mother. Then there is a matter of testifying against the clan name.
When Zhao Lie heard "there is a red mole on his left back blade" twice, his heart was relieved - finally there was one thing that didn't match. He knew very well that he didn't have any red moles. Not to mention the back blades, there is nothing on the body.
Although the Guangtang was empty, Zhao Lie clearly knew that there were at least several pairs of eyes staring at him behind the bead curtain, and it was uncomfortable to be shirtless.
Zhao Lieqiang said with a strong temperament: "Can I put on my clothes below?" ”
The woman's voice rang out again: "Turn around." ”
Zhao Lie smiled bitterly and wanted to say, "Brother really doesn't have a red mole on his left back blade."
The majestic voice of the female official sounded: "The queen mother has an order, turn around." ”
Okay, let you see clearly, it's early to end the toss. Zhao Lie didn't talk nonsense, and turned around directly.
The air seemed to freeze. At this moment, Zhao Lie was both relaxed and inexplicably regretful, and thought that he could pretend to be a royal family in blood......
Immediately, a woman's weeping voice rang out: "Young master, you have suffered! ”
Zhao Lie turned around in surprise, and saw a woman running out from behind the curtain, kneeling down on her knees, and weeping.
This time, Zhao Lie was really confused.
At this time, the bead curtain was opened, and the two female palaces helped a palace beauty who was about thirty years old and looked haggard to step down the jade steps. Beauty looked excited and burst into tears: "Meng Bei, you are really alive!" Heaven is pitiful, the Zhao family is endless, Meng Bei can escape from the execution ground, my son may not be able to float to the sea and be reborn......"
Empress Dowager Yang.
What really excited the queen mother was not that Zhao Mengbei was fine, but that the young man of the clan who had been rumored to have been dead for three years miraculously reappeared in front of him. This miracle proves that there are miracles in the underworld. In other words, her imperial son, the young emperor who was carried by Lu Xiufu and sunk into the sea, may not be dead either.
If Zhao Lie did not appear, according to the historical trajectory, a few days later, the Empress Dowager Yang, who was disillusioned, would have thrown herself into the sea and died. As soon as Empress Dowager Yang died, the Song family no longer had a legitimate successor. Zhang Shijie, who lost hope, will also sink into the sea and die for the country. The generals and officials will also disperse and go their separate ways, and the remnants of the Song Dynasty that have just improved will also disappear.
However, Zhao Lie appeared, and even he didn't know how much hope he brought to Empress Dowager Yang. Although there seems to be no logical relationship between the resurrection of "Zhao Mengbei" and the uncertainty of Song Shaodi's life and death in the sea, but at this moment, Empress Dowager Yang, as a mother, only needs one hope, no matter how slim this hope is, as long as there is hope, she will persevere, and she can persevere.
If even Zhao Mengbei, the queen of the show, can be favored by heaven and miraculously appear when the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, then how can the emperor with the body of a true dragon easily drown at sea? Perhaps, after a while, the emperor will also appear in front of him with great vigor like Zhao Mengbei - this is the logic and hope of Empress Dowager Yang.
Wen Tianxiang's loud voice sounded: "I wish the Queen Mother the queen mother to find her nephew, and King Xiu will have a future!" ”
Zhao Lie turned his head and saw that the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty was full of joy, how did he look at it and feel that this joy was like picking up a treasure......
Zhao Lie now finally figured out who that woman was - the personal maid who had served Zhao Mengbei's mother, Mrs. Chen, that is, she was the most important witness to watch Zhao Mengbei grow up.
There is the prime minister's identification, the jade pendant as evidence, the confirmation of the domestic servant, and the confirmation of the clan registration...... In the end, Zhao Lie was "by" Zhao Mengbei.
Now there is only one question left: what is the condition of my left back blade?
Half an hour later, Zhao Lie, who had been re-enrolled in the clan, left the Grass Palace with Wen Tianxiang in a dizzy state.
In the Grass Palace, the female official solemnly wrote the last two lines with a gold lacquer vermilion pen: "...... (Meng Bei) hurts his brain after the catastrophe, suffers from the soul, forgets the past, and only remains loyal. The knife mark on the left back blade is still there, and the red mole is broken! ”
……
"Zhao Mengbei of the clan, loyal to the liver and righteous gall, fought against the tyrannical yuan with his second father, was executed with all his strength, and died several times. The luck of the sky was taken off, and the remnants of the body after the catastrophe were shaved to avoid disaster for three years. Only the heart of loyalty and righteousness is immortal, hidden in the mountains, and secretly exercises righteousness and bravery. took two warriors to attack Yuan Jiankang's general manager of the boat at night and rescue the right minister; He also attacked thousands of households of the Yuan Chaoyang Navy with a disparity in strength, and captured and killed 200 thieves under Chen Yi...... Brave and resolute, just like then. Today, the clan is relisted, and the Marquis of Xin'an County, the general of Dingyuan, the former commander of the palace, the commander of Sima, the governor of Guangzhou, and the Longque Army are all under the control of ......"
Lords, knights, sanitation officers, military positions, dispatches, all available. Then this long list of titles is useless, and the only thing that is really useful is the last dispatch: the Dragon Sparrow Army.
The Song Dynasty did not have the name of "Dragon Bird Army", which was a new name specially created for Zhao Hunt's "Yishan Righteous Brave", which was included in the imperial court's economic army.
Zhao Lie looked at this dazzling list of titles, and he didn't know what to say - didn't I just be a bodyguard to escort a person, how could I become a royal family for some reason? The last royalty was so easy to be? Where is my brother going to reason? Brother also has to travel around the five oceans, across the Caribbean!
Now, even if he strenuously denies that he is not Zhao Mengbei, no one believes it.
As soon as this edict was issued, it shook the generals of the dynasty a lot. No one expected that this young man who appeared silently with Prime Minister Wen was actually a clan, and he was also a descendant of King Wang Xiu, the loyal heir of the famous martyr. At the end of the Song Dynasty, there were many generals in the clan, such as when Wen Tianxiang opened the mansion in Tingzhou, there were Zhao Shixian, Zhao Mengqin and other clans. It's just that with the defeat of the Xing Dynasty and the defeat of the clan, the more and more people were killed, and after the defeat of Degu Mountain, the only remaining clans were all in the sea, and the Zhao Zong royal family was empty. If this were not the case, Su Liuyi would not have found an unobtrusive Zhao Dan to serve as the master.
The appearance of Zhao Hunt somewhat aroused the minds of several important ministers. Of course, Zhao Lie appeared too suddenly after all, and the courtiers and generals still had a wait-and-see attitude towards him. At this time, Yang Liangjie secretly passed on a secret edict to Zhao Hunt: he ordered the Dragon Bird Army to control Zhao Hunt's garrison and make every effort to search for the whereabouts of the young emperor.
The Queen Mother did not give up, or rather, the Queen Mother rekindled hope.
However, Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie, Chen Yizhong, Su Liuyi and other important ministers have different thoughts from the Queen Mother, they are more realistic. It's been two months, and the young emperor's survival may be minimal. The survival of the Song family cannot be pinned on a fluctuating hope.
Just as important as finding the young emperor and seeking a new emperor is to solve the problem of military supplies and stationing in the court.
The sea area of Guangya is quite well hidden, and Chen Yizhong has been hiding here long before the Battle of Kushan Navy. It can also be seen from this that before the war, he had no confidence in the big battle commanded by Zhang Shijie, and took precautions early. As soon as the Xing Dynasty was defeated, he immediately sent a ship to attract more than ten ships such as the defeated Empress Dowager Yang, Zhang Shijie, and Su Liuyi to escape the pursuit of the Yuan army. This also explains why Zhang Hongfan, Li Heng and others searched the sea for several months, but Leng did not find the whereabouts of this remnant army.
Because this is not a remnant army that rushes around like a headless fly, but a defeated army that has long been a cunning rabbit.
But no matter how capable Chen Yizhong is, he can't change the grain, and the one who undertakes the task of secretly transporting grain at this time is Ma Nanbao, the servant of the Xiangshan Power and Industry Department.
On April 14, when the generals looked at the depleted granary and anxiously waited for the arrival of the grain for Ma Shilang, the Ma ship finally appeared—however, not the expected grain ship, but a small boat, and a frightened informant.
"Oh no! The squire and Li Zhao's envoy were both captured by the Yuan. ”
