Chapter 467: The Culprit
When Du Qihao and the others heard about it, they were all stunned and couldn't think of it. They pasted "just two lines." In the month, so many things were born. The Great Song Dynasty has changed beyond recognition!
Du Wenhao didn't know that he himself was the initiator of all this!
Historically, after the death of Emperor Xia Huizong, he was succeeded by Emperor Chongzong, but he was a puppet emperor for more than ten years, and the military and political power of Western Xia was in the hands of her mother Empress Dowager Liang Huizong Emperor and her uncle Liang Yiqiu, who was the second generation of Empress Dowager Liang, under her leadership, Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty fought for more than ten years. This is a very important and inseparable part of the entire history of the Song and Xia. However, this chain was broken by Du Wenhao!
He killed Liang Yitong and Empress Liang first. cut off the history of the more than ten years that the two were in power. Under the chaos of history, there was a great earthquake between heaven and earth, and now they have killed Emperor Chongzong, which has led to chaos in the world.
Because after the death of Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yi, Emperor Chongzong was in power. Joined forces with the Dajin Kingdom to carve up the Northern Song Dynasty. Emperor Chongzong's reign spanned more than ten years at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the decades of Emperor Chongzong's reign affected the Song, Xia, Liao, and Jin dynasties, and the historical chain of decades was also cut off, resulting in great changes.
The Marxist materialist view of history holds that history is created by the people and is the main reason for pushing the wheel of history forward, and that the emperors and the key figures in history are only auxiliary factors, or they only play a certain role on individual occasions. However, as far as the individual person is concerned, the traverser changes the fate of an ordinary person, just like a spring breeze blowing through the wheel of history, and history will not change because of this. However, if the time-traveler changes the fate of an emperor or a key figure in history, it is like a mad cow hitting the wheel of history! It is likely that the wheels will be knocked out of the original trajectory of history, and history will change, and the consequences of this change are unpredictable, because it will become a new history! It's like people today don't know what tomorrow will bring!
Du Wenhao and they killed Empress Liang, Liang Yitong, and especially Emperor Chongzong of Western Xia, so that the trajectory of the fifty-year history was completely chaotic! It is no longer the face of history, but has embarked on three other unknowable paths!
As for where this road leads, and how this history will re-evolve, no one knows!
Du Wenhao naturally didn't know this, he only knew that the whole history was now chaotic, and the Dajin Kingdom that should not have appeared had appeared, which meant that the end of the Northern Song Dynasty was coming! He didn't know that this period of history had become chaotic, and it was no longer history that had the final say on who was the gravedigger, and that in the next 50 years, the fate of the country and individuals could no longer be mastered by history, not even himself.
Du Wenhao now understands why there is almost no Western Xia army in the south of Western Xia, and it turns out that the Great Song Dynasty has undergone great changes in the country. The warlords are fighting, and there is no time to take care of the western expedition. Western Xia faced an attack by the Jurchen army in the east, so the army was transferred to deal with the Jurchen.
He also understood why Emperor Chongzong of the Western Xia decided to attack him at that time, without estimating the relationship between the two dynasties, it turned out that he had been relieved of his post by the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, King Cao, and was caught by the sea. Emperor Chongzong wanted to capture himself and hand it over to King Cao in exchange for reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty to deal with the Jurchens together.
The special combat team members heard that Da Song Sheng had undergone such a great change, and all the soldiers and horses were fighting each other, and these soldiers were almost all selected from all walks of life. I originally thought of going to Beijing to join the special combat team and glorify my ancestors, but now that the world is in turmoil, my first thought is to go home to see if my family is safe. There was a lot of discussion for a while, and they were all worried.
Li Pu said to Du Wenhao: "Grandpa Guo, since the world is in chaos now, the heroes are rising together. Let's just raise troops, with your prestige and current identity in the whole ** team, you will definitely be able to recruit heroes and wise men from all over the world and make a difference
Li Pu and the others don't know Du Wenhao's identity of crossing, but Du Wenhao has already caused chaos in the world from these two major earthquakes that occurred at the same time. vaguely guessed that it was probably his own behavior of killing Emperor Xia Chongzong and Empress Liang and Liang Yitong in power, which messed up the entire history. If I continue to mess up, I don't know where history will go, and I don't know how many people will die
Life.
When the chain of history is broken, it is beyond human control. This was a result that Du Wenhao didn't want, and shook his head gloomily: "You have lifted me." My new three yamen are all inspected, and the time is very short. I don't have much prestige, and besides, I'm not good at military affairs, so I really want to lead troops to fight. I'm afraid that I will lose the battle if I have a chance of **, forget it, I'm just a Langzhong, not a general, my world is only in the pharmacy, not on the battlefield, I can be at ease, only in my patients, not in the shadow of the sword. Since you have ambitions, you might as well go to the exhibition yourself."
Li Pu's expression was also a little gloomy, after all, he was a professional soldier, and he couldn't help but itch when he saw the chaos in the world. But Du Wenhao is so good to himself, he can't leave him. Du Wenhao ordered the prisoners to be taken down, and glanced around at the generals: "Now that the court has changed dramatically, I have been dismissed by the new emperor." That is, I am no longer your commander. I'm going to the capital to look for my family now. Everyone must also be concerned about their relatives, so let's go their own way! In addition, General Li Pu intends to raise troops, if there is anyone who is willing to follow him to build a career, it is recommended to follow him, he is a very good general. It will definitely make a difference! ”
The soldiers whispered again.
Li Pu was even more embarrassed when he heard Du Wenhao say this. Xu Huaqiang said to Li Pu: "General Li." Grandpa Guo is telling the truth, Yi Xunshu is a different body clam
Du Wenhao also smiled and said: "Yes, after you build a career in the future, we may still come to you."
Li Pu was very grateful, clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Since Grandpa Guo is so important to the last general, the last general will definitely live up to the worship brothers, and Grandpa Guo will let us fight the world." If you are willing to fight with me for a career, please come out! ”
These special combat members are all elites, and they have practiced martial arts since they were young, just to be able to fight on the battlefield. Make a career. Although he cares about his family, the good man is ambitious in all directions, and listening to Li Pu's generosity, he is not only excited, but also ranks one after another. There was a small number of special operators left. expressed his willingness to continue to follow Du Wenhao.
Li Pu took most of the special combat team members, and after saying goodbye to Du Wenhao, he rode away.
Du Wenhao said to Murong Yulan: "Miss Murong, our Great Song Dynasty has changed dramatically, and the two emperors have died, including Emperor Zhezong who you want to marry, and your Bingsheng prince of Western Xia is also dead, this harmony must be in vain, and there is no point in you going to the capital." Why don't you go back to Western Xia?
Murong Yu and Lan said no, turned their horses' heads, and slowly walked north.
Lin Qingdai thought for a while, caught up with her, and asked, "Miss Murong, where is your home?"
"I don't have a home, my parents are dead"
"Huh? So where are you going back?.
Murong Yulan looked up blankly, the mountains behind her were vast, and she really didn't know where to go.
Lin Qingdai said: "If you have nowhere to go, come with us, right?" ”
A flash of joy flashed on Murong Yulan's face and nodded.
The reason why Du Wenhao issued the eviction order was because he was afraid that his wives and concubines would think too much, but now that they were homeless and had saved their lives, he naturally couldn't ignore it, and said: "In that case, Miss Murong, let's go to the capital together, but now that the warlords from all walks of life are fighting, there must be a lot of hardships on the road." ”
Murong Yulan smiled awkwardly and shook her head. Say you don't care.
"Alright, let's go!"
Du Wenhao took the remaining special combat team members and his own escort team and bypassed Huanzhou. Go to the capital Kaifeng.
In a small town, they found the official document of sea fishing, Du Wenhao masked his face and went forward to check, only to see that in addition to his own name and Lin Qingdai and Wang Runxue, the names and surnames of Pang Yuqin, Li'er, and Xue Jiao'er who stayed in the capital were all there, and he was immediately relieved. This means that they are all alive. Other than that. The names and portraits of the apprentice Qian Yiqian and Xu Huaqiang, Li Pu and other guards are also fishing in the sea.
Due to the influence of King Cao along the way, and the official documents of sea fishing, they could only avoid the towns. Fortunately, in order to resist the attack of the newly rising Jurchens in the north, and in order to crusade against the warlords from all walks of life in the south, King Cao deployed the main army on the northern and southern borders. Plus Du Wenhao, they took the trail as much as possible, so the journey was relatively smooth.
On this day, I finally arrived in the capital.
Kaifeng is surrounded by heavy soldiers, and there are card checks at the city gate. Due to the large number of people coming in and out of the city. Those who fled the famine to ask for food, dragged their families with their mouths, and pushed carts to pull goods, the river was endless, and the inventory was not too strict, Du Wenhao and the others left two special combat team members to take care of the horses, and then mixed with the refugees and entered the city.
The once prosperous city is now in ruins!
The eyes are full of ruins and ruins, and the roadside is full of homeless beggars. Tents and simple wooden houses are set up in the open space. The whole city was filled with the stench of rotting corpses, the smell of decay from those who had died in the earthquake before they had time to bury them.
Du Wenhao and the others hurriedly rushed to their Zhenguo Mansion behind the palace.
I could see the walls of the palace in the distance. Judging from the old and new level, it is clear that it has just been built, and even the walls of the palace have collapsed, which shows the great destructive power of this earthquake.
The palace was surrounded by soldiers, Du Wenhao and the others went far behind the palace, raised their eyes to look in the direction of their mansion, and saw a ruin, not a single house was intact! Including the Prime Minister's Mansion on both sides and the Tianbo Yang Mansion of the Yang family, they were all razed to the ground.
The ruins of the mansion were roped, and there were soldiers on guard all around, and they did not dare to approach, but could only watch from a distance, and there were no figures in the ruins of the mansion, and there were no tents.
Lin Qingdai said in a low voice: "What should I do now?" ”
Du Wenhao said: "I don't know, I can find one or two people to ask in the end." This is too close to the palace, and the security is heavy, let's go to Wuweitang to have a look, maybe we can find someone to ask. ”
The group turned around and was about to leave, when a young man came over and whispered beside Du Wenhao: "Master! ”
Du Wenhao turned his head and saw that this person's face was black, only his eyes were bright, his teeth were white, and his simple smile made Du Wenhao immediately guess who this person was, disciple Sun Hantou!
Hantou is an apprentice who does not collect money, that is, Du Wenhao's apprentice, who has a very good memory, and basically relies on his back to study medicine, but he does not know how to be flexible.
The joy on Du Wenhao's face was also swept away, seeing that he was dressed like this, it was obviously to avoid people's eyes, and he couldn't meet each other rashly. There were officers and soldiers all around.
Hantou didn't stop, gave him a look, and walked forward slowly.
Du Wenhao didn't say anything, and when he walked away, he slowly followed behind.
Wang Runxue didn't hear the two of them talking, and asked in a low voice, "Husband, where are we going?"
"Don't ask, follow along."
Seeing the direction in which Han Tou was walking, Du Wenhao immediately understood that it was a ghost house!
The haunted house is the outer prison of Du Pier, and the pond inside the dry will emit hallucinogenic gas late every night, and those who inhale this gas will hallucinate and encounter ghosts in the past. So no one in the vicinity dared to approach.
Du Wenhao bought this house at a very cheap price, and few people know about it. However, after all, this mansion is located in the capital, and they have been wanted by the sea, so why didn't they abscond out of the city, but hid in the ghost mansion?
But then again, the abandoned saying goes, "The more dangerous the place, the safer." "They all fled, but in fact, they hid in the ghost house, but it was not easy to be noticed.
Hantou really went to the ghost house. Most of the walls of the haunted house have collapsed, because the haunted house is located in a relatively remote area and there are relatively few pedestrians, so it is easier to check whether there is anyone following behind.
He was very cautious, picking up his pace for a while, then suddenly stopping again, and then slowing down again, while observing whether there was any follow-up behind him. After making sure that no one was following him, he turned through a gap in the wall and into the haunted house.
The buildings in the haunted mansion have almost collapsed, and they are in ruins. The cracks under the tall weeds make it necessary to be extra careful, otherwise you may fall into the cracks if you are not careful.
Hantou walked fast. Stopped at one of the hanging areas and looked around. Then he waved at Du Wenhao.
Du Wenhao hurriedly ran over: "Hantou! What about your ancestors? ”
Hantou smiled slightly and pointed to the ground: "It's down there!" Du Wenhao hurriedly took a closer look, and it turned out that under the tall weeds, there was a wellhead! I suddenly remembered. When Lin Qingdai inhaled the hallucinogenic gas, she was frightened by the illusion and fell into a dry well, no wonder the surrounding scenery here is so familiar, it turned out to be the well that she fell into.
He lay down on the edge of the well and took a stone. There were a few knocks. In a moment, a sound also came from the well, a rhythmic sound, which should have been some kind of agreed signal.
After a while, the well gurgled and soon a large basket popped up.
He said, "Okay, Master, you sit in the basket." The people below will put you flat. ”
Du Wenhao was anxious to see Pang Yuqin and them. Without further ado, he sat in the basket and slowly descended.
"Husband!"
There was a call of surprise from the bottom of the well, and the voice was Pang Yuqin!
"Qin'er!" Du Wenhao was overjoyed, it was pitch black below, and he couldn't see clearly, and said urgently: "Qin'er, where are you?" ”
Pang Yuqin was in the dark and saw Du Wenhao. Hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm here!" ”
Du Wenhao's eyes widened vigorously, and finally faintly saw a few guides. Then I heard someone fighting
:
"Sir!"
"Brother!"
"Master!"
"Shizu"
"Proclamation!"
A lantern appeared, Du Wenhao's hanging basket also arrived on the ground, stepping out of the hanging basket, and at a glance, his eyes were full of acquaintances, Pang Yuqin, Li'er, Xue Liang'er and Qian Bu accept masters and apprentices, as well as shop guys Silly Fat, Wu Cong, Yingzi, twin sisters Hua Ya Ruoyun, Ruoyu, Yuzhen and others. Xue Liang'er's father Song shopkeeper, Pang Yuqin's parents Pang Jinghui, Liu's concubine Yu'er, the fourth girl slug Dou'er and others, and also saw the Zhixian Zhuang Moumou family, including the godsister Mei'er! There is also a little tiger cub Xiaoke.
Du Wenhao remembers that the well has dried up. But the place is not big, and now it is spacious. There are also several rooms, like an underground bomb shelter.
Pang Yuqin held his hand and cried with joy: "I'm worried about death, you have been gone for so long, there have been two major earthquakes in a row, the emperor has died one after another, and the empress dowager has also died, after the damn King Cao is called the emperor, he will order us to be arrested,"
Du Wenhao took her into his arms and stroked her show: "Yes, we are also nine deaths in Xixia, but fortunately, everyone is safe." ”
Li'er and Xue Liang'er also looked at him and cried with joy. Du Wenhao comforted them softly. and he also saluted with the others.
Waiting for Lin Qingdai and the others to sit in bamboo baskets one by one, everyone entered a large basement, where lanterns were carried and mattresses were laid on the ground, and they sat down cross-legged, Pang Yuqin and Wang Runxue sat beside him on the left and right, and the tiger boy was lying in front of Du Wenhao, and everyone talked about it.
It turned out that when the first major earthquake was born, Song Zhezong and others were stoned to death and the throne was decided. King Cao, supported by a group of close ministers, proposed to inherit the throne. The Empress Dowager did not have Du Wenhao by her side, so she had no idea, Wang Fa and other manpower owners let Zhao Wei inherit the throne, and the two sides made a lot of trouble, and Du Wenhao was not there, and the Sanya Forbidden Army was also divided into two rows, almost fighting. The Empress Dowager had no choice but to let Zhao Wei inherit the throne. That is, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and was regent by King Cao, and he no longer listened to the government, and the regent was equivalent to the emperor. Only then did the dispute between the two factions be settled.
After King Cao became the regent, the Du family felt that the situation was not good, Du Wenhao had taken King Cao hostage before, and cut him on the neck, just afraid that he would retaliate, Pang Yuqin, Li'er, Xue Jiao'er and the three of them decided to dig a basement in the ghost house as a hiding place. Pang Yuqin and the others only brought Wu Cong, Hantou, Silly Fat, Ruoyun, Ruoyu and other cronies and maids, and began to dig.
The haunted mansion has never been visited, it is very hidden, and the excavation is going well. After the basement was dug up, Pang Yuqin and the others transferred the valuable gold and silver to the basement and hoarded a lot of food and drinking water.
