As the two ships approached, someone shouted, "It's the banner of the Song Army." ”

Ouyang Guanhou said: "You must guard against fraud. ”

Jiang Fenglie thought so, and ordered the bed crossbow to be ready to fire, the artillery cart to hang the stone, and the white-clothed guard to be firm and stubborn, ready for battle.

Zhao Lie, Ma Nanchun, and Jueyuan were guarding in front of the cabin. Wen Tianxiang was still sitting at the table, spreading out the pen and paper, and writing the recital.

Less leaning, Jiang Fenglie's voice came from outside the cabin: "Come to the ship and put the sampan close, everyone pay attention to the order, and you can't shoot the arrow without the order." ”

After a while, a voice faintly came from the sea: "The Great Song Dynasty Quan Soldiers Wailang and the Navy are all under the command of Su Jingzhan and are ordered to welcome Prime Minister Wen!" ”

On the seventh day of April 1279, Wen Tianxiang, who had been excluded from the first year of Deyou and failed to enter the court, was finally welcomed back to the court. Although at this time the country is no longer a country, the dynasty will not be a dynasty, and even the emperor is gone, the last elite of the country is still there, and everything is still to be done.

Two days later, Guangya and Ao, more than 70 miles away from the land, among the sea and mountains with hidden terrain, the last remaining elites of the Great Song Dynasty gathered together to regain their strength.

Right Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang, Left Prime Minister Chen Yizhong, Privy Deputy Envoy Zhang Shijie, Commander Su Liuyi in front of the palace, Yang Liangjie, Deputy Commander of the Ministry of Households, Deputy Commander Ma Nanchun, Deputy Envoy of Zhangzhou Regiment Training, Loyal Shun Army Commander Jiang Fenglie, Naval Army Commander Su Jingzhan (Su Liuyi's eldest son), Governor Zeng Yuanzi, Commander of the Navy Chen Zhi, as well as Zhao Ruohe, Huang Tiancong, Huang Cai, Xu Dafu and other civil and military generals. In addition, there are only dozens of warships and more than a thousand soldiers, which is the last remaining strength of the Xing Dynasty.

When the ministers saw each other, it was like a world away, but the country was broken like this, and no one wanted to be a child, but they only gave in deeply, and everything was silent.

At this time, Zhao Lieshang was unknown, but even he didn't know that he would soon become the central figure.

After meeting with the ministers, the first thing Wen Tianxiang did was to propose to see the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother is waiting in the Grass Palace. Brother Wenshan, the Queen Mother is restless, please don't talk too much about state affairs. "Uncle Yang Liangjie is the brother of the Empress Dowager Yang, and the courtiers basically have to go through him if they want to see the Empress Dowager.

Wen Tianxiang frowned slightly, the current state affairs are shaking, the last flame of the dynasty is shaky, and the situation in the world has reached the point of life and death. As the mother of a country, the rise and fall of the dynasty is related, but at this time he does not talk about national affairs, is there any hope for this world thing?

Of course, Wen Tianxiang knew why the Queen Mother was "restless", he was here for this matter, and he couldn't take care of it anymore for the continuation of the Great Song Dynasty. Having made up his mind, Wen Tianxiang signaled to Yang Liangjie that he understood, and then under the guidance of Yang Liangjie's eldest son and secretary and young eunuch Yang Qizhi, he went to the temporary grass palace in the back mountain and the queen mother stationed.

Guarding the Grass Palace is Yang Liangjie's second son, Doctor Zhongliang, and Ma Bujun in front of the palace are all waiting for Yang Xingyong.

Even if he is the first person in the dynasty, the right minister and privy envoy, he still needs to check the waist card to confirm that he is allowed to enter.

The grass palace is a temporary construction, of course, this "grass" is the meaning of hasty urgency, but it is not a grass house. The tiger will not fall to the death, and the dignity of the royal family cannot be lost at any time. The grass palace is not a grass house but a stone house, in addition to being clean and tidy, the ceremonial guard is sparse and simple, and the prosperous palace in the past is far from comparable.

In front of a two-hall hall, Wen Tianxiang finally saw Empress Dowager Yang - of course, separated by two bead curtains.

"The guilty minister knocks on the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed." Wen Tianxiang meticulously straightened his robe, except for his boots and socks, walked a few steps, and took a deep look.

A weak voice came from behind the curtain: "Wen Qing is brave and loyal, twice fell into the hands of the enemy, twice risked death to escape, loyal and pure, can show the sun and the moon, what is the crime?" ”

Wen Tianxiang did not cry for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he did not mourn when he met the ministers, but at this time he shed two lines of tears: "With the words of the Queen Mother, even if the servants fall into the hands of the enemy again, they will not spin their heels." ”

Empress Dowager Yang said sickly: "If the state affairs are erosive like this, Wen Qing is also like Zhang Qing, Chen Qing, and Su Qing, do you think there is still something to do?" ”

Wen Tianxiang took a step forward, his eyes were full of anger, and he was impassioned: "The Queen Mother, don't be discouraged, there is still a lot to be done in the world." Suzong rode a horse to Chang Tang, and Gaozong rode alone to revive the Song Dynasty. Mengyuan was tyrannical, the people's hearts were in the Song Dynasty, although Chu had three households, the death of Qin would be Chu. I still have thousands of households in the Great Song Dynasty, countless soldiers, and those who died will be Song! ”

Empress Dowager Yang suddenly lost her voice in grief: "Even though there are thousands of households, even if there are countless soldiers, but there is no official family of the Son of Heaven, who will be the world in this world!" ”

Wen Tianxiang sweated, and paused again and again: "The minister is panicked." ”

Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help but cry silently: "I endure the dead with difficulty, and there is still hope for the Zhao family's sacrifice, today's fate is here, what can I say!" ”

Wen Tianxiang said loudly: "The Zhao family's sacrifice may not be hopeless. The minister had a great joy and reported it to the queen mother. ”

……

Zhao Liezheng and Ma Nanchun are playing sideways, in front of him is a middle-aged man who is over fifty years old and has slightly frosty temples, although his face is full of wind and frost, but it can be seen that the middle-aged man must be a beautiful son when he is young. Zhao Lie was very interested in the middle-aged man in front of him, more interested than Zhang Shijie.

Su Liuyi, the eighth grandson of the great writer Su Dongpo. The descendant of a generation of great writers and a quasi-jinshi was born, but he put down his pen and ink, grabbed a knife and gun, and became a general commanding thousands of troops. It has to be amazing. His eldest son, Su Jingzhan, who was only twenty years old, also became a young general. The descendants of the writers are all about martial arts, and everything is needed by the country.

Gradually, however, Zhao Lie became interested in the topics they discussed.

Su Liuyi was repeatedly asking Ma Nanchun about the news of a person, this person's name is Zhao Dan, he is a clan, and he seems to be a child. When he heard Ma Nanchun say that his brother Nanbao had placed this son in good health, Su Liuyi was obviously relieved, and revealed that he wanted to take this son in.

Su Liuyi's intentions were already obvious, and Ma Nanchun couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse to participate in this matter at this time.

Zhao Liezheng listened interestingly, Su Jingzhan walked into the house quickly, and couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "The Empress Dowager summoned Zhao Hunt and Zhao Shiyi went to the Grass Palace." ”

Su Liuyi and Ma Nanchun glanced at it.

Zhao Lie was also inexplicable, and nodded his nose: "Me? ”

Su Jingzhan nodded: "Exactly, Young Eunuch Yang is waiting outside the house, please move there quickly." ”

As soon as Zhao Lie left, Su Liuyi asked Ma Nanchun: "Where did your companion come from?" ”

Ma Nanchun shook his head: "Nanchun really doesn't know. ”

Su Liu Yi stroked his beard and said: "It's strange, why did the Queen Mother summon him." ”

"Probably to thank him for saving the prime minister......

Su Liuyi shook his head: "Zhong Ping doesn't know anything, the Queen Mother is ...... right now Alas! His heart is sad to death, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner for a few days. Except for Yang Shangshu and his two sons, the rest of the people wanted to see each other but couldn't get it. If it weren't for Wenshan's escape and return this time, he would have to summon him to comfort him, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to see, so how could he easily summon a righteous man to see it. ”

At this time, Ma Nanchun was also puzzled: "That's it...... It seems that there are a lot of strange things about this virtuous brother of mine. ”

As soon as Zhao Lie went out, he saw the secretary and young eunuch Yang Qizhi looking at himself curiously: "You are Zhao Lie?" ”

Zhao Lie asked directly: "Yes." This is going to see the Queen Mother? ”

Yang Qizhi nodded: "Yes, you come with me." ”

"Wait." Zhao Lie called Jueyuan, and handed over the long and short spear and military dagger on his body to Jueyuan to hold. I have never eaten pork and seen pigs run, and I can't always bring weapons when I see the Queen Mother, and I will collect my guns and knives before I go to the Grass Palace. Zhao Lie didn't feel at ease about handing over the weapon to someone he didn't know.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the Houshan Grass Palace, a guard stepped forward to ask if he had brought a weapon, and after receiving a negative answer, he still asked Zhao Lie to untie his coat and search it carefully. When he saw the "palm thunder" hanging from Zhao Lie's waist, he also asked: "What is this?" ”

Zhao Lie calmly replied: "Jewelry." ”

The Browning pocket pistol itself is a fine craft, shiny silver, small and exquisite, put it seven hundred years ago, no one believes even if it is not an ornament.

So, Zhao Lie, who was carrying the "murder weapon", swaggered into the Grass Palace under the noses of the guards.

The grass palace was empty, and at the end of the long golden velvet blanket, there was only a beaded curtain.

There was a faint sound behind the curtain, as if to say, "Like, really like." ”

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind the beaded curtain: "Who is coming?" ”

"Zhao Lie, come at the call."

"It's your original name that's asking."

"Original name?" Zhao Lie was taken aback, he did change his name before entering the police academy, and the name "Zhao Lie" was chosen by himself, but how could anyone know about this kind of thing?

Zhao Lie's change of color was naturally seen by the people behind the curtain, and he sighed faintly: "Sure enough...... In troubled times, it is understandable to change the name to avoid disasters for the rest of your life. ”

Zhao Lie was confused, but he knew what he had misunderstood, and he wanted to explain.

The woman behind the curtain said again: "Zhao Lie...... So let's call you Zhao Hunt. And present your jade pendant to a look. ”

What's the secret of this jade pendant? Why does everyone want to take a look?

Zhao Lie untied the jade pendant, and a palace person came to fetch the jade, and then hid behind the curtain.

Less leaning, Zhao Lie faintly heard the sound of crying and muttering behind the curtain, "It is the thing of the young master", Zhao Lie only felt anxious, and always felt that something wrong was going to happen.

At this moment, the man behind the curtain said something so frightened that he almost jumped up.

"Zhao Lie, take off your clothes."
