Chapter 319: Return
The rain was pouring down, and Yang Shi took more than a dozen servants to go outside.
The street is quiet, one is that it is raining too much now, and the vast majority of the people are hiding in their homes and will not come out, and the other is that there has just been a mutiny a few days ago, and many people are afraid to come out now.
Yang Shi sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside, and his heart was excited.
He had a feeling that everything in heaven and earth was under his control, and that he was about to make history.
"God really help me, Emperor Jianyan was killed by Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanwu himself was assassinated, God destined me Yang Shi to become the mainstay of the world, to turn the tide, even a hundred years later, a thousand years later, my Yang Shi is still famous in the annals of history, known! I want to carry forward my Confucian science, and even surpass the two teachers, become the first person in science, and enter the Confucian Temple in the future, and be worshiped and respected! Thinking of this, Yang Shi's whole body trembled with excitement.
He sat in the carriage and walked for half an hour before he came to the south of Lin'an City.
The south of the city is different from other places in that it is a place where some poor families live.
After arriving here, Yang Shi couldn't help frowning. He was also born poor, but later lived a rich life, and he didn't like the poor scene in front of him very much.
After walking for a while, they came to an alley.
At the end of the alley, there is a dilapidated mansion.
At that moment, a servant helped Yang Shi down, and the rest of the servants had already held up the umbrella.
"Sir, this is it." A servant pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said.
"That Zhao Zicheng, as a descendant of Taizu, actually lives in such a dilapidated place." Yang Shi said with some surprise.
Although he knew that the descendants of Taizu had gradually declined, he did not expect that it would fall to such a point, and it seemed that it was not as good as ordinary poor people.
There were no walls in this courtyard, but it was fenced with some branches and thorns, and there were three ruined thatched huts in the courtyard, and one thatched hut had a leaky roof. The rain kept falling, and the thatched hut couldn't live at all.
Yang Shi stood there, and immediately a servant stepped forward and began to knock on the door.
After a while, a woman in her twenties came out of the middle house and opened the courtyard door.
The woman was fair-skinned, had black hair, and was quite upright-looking. It's just that her face is pale, and there is a faint color on her face, and she doesn't know how long it has been since she had eaten a full meal. She was dressed in the most ordinary coarse cloth clothes, which were also unusually rough.
Seeing this woman, Yang Shi's eyes immediately showed a lustful light, and saliva was faintly dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"I don't know who you are?" The woman said with some doubts.
"This is Zhao Zicheng's mansion and Zhao Gongzi's mansion?" One of the servants next to him had spoken.
"Not bad!" The woman nodded, she saw Yang Shise's confused eyes, and took a few steps back at the moment, faintly scared in her heart.
"We are here to find Zhao Zicheng and Zhao Gongzi, please ask him to come out quickly." Servant.
"My husband is not here." The woman said.
She doesn't seem to have an umbrella at home, and her body is a little wet for a moment. The weather was a little cold, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Where is Zhao Gongzi?" Servant.
"I don't know." The woman said.
"Hurry up and find him!" Yang Shi shouted on the side.
"This ......," the woman's face showed hesitation.
Yang Shi gave a look, and the next servant took out a large piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to the woman. When the woman saw this large piece of silver, the expression on her face was both surprise and hesitation. She was worried that the group of people in front of her had come to collect debts, but now it seems that they are not. She had never seen such a large piece of silver in her life, and they would never owe so much money to others. It's just that she doesn't know whether to hold it or not.
"Take it! Go to your husband and say that we have something important to look for him. Yang Shi said.
The woman took the money, and she ran out in the rain.
Looking at this woman's delicate body, Yang Shi showed a lewd smile on his face.
"My lord, let's go in first!" A servant.
"Good!" Yang Shi nodded.
They entered the dilapidated thatched hut, where there was a child. Seeing Yang Shi coming, the child hurriedly saluted and beckoned them to sit down, which was quite polite.
This child's name is Zhao Bocong, the only son of Zhao Zicheng, and it is also the historical Song Xiaozong. Although he is young, he is very generous and very different. Historically, there are a large number of descendants of Taizu, and it is not without reason that Zhao Gou chose Zhao Bocong as his righteous son.
"That's a good kid." Yang Shi said secretly.
But the other party is a child after all, and Yang Shi doesn't bother to pay attention to it.
After about a quarter of an hour, a young man in his twenties finally broke into the house.
This young man is skinny, and he also has a vegetable face, but he is dressed as a scholar.
"This old gentleman, Zhao is polite!" The young man was none other than Zhao Zicheng, and immediately bent down and saluted after coming in.
"Not bad, not bad!" Seeing that Zhao Zicheng knew the etiquette so well, Yang Shi nodded again.
"Old man, I don't know your surname?" Zhao Zicheng said.
"Old man Yang Shi!" Yang Shidao.
"Ahh You are Mr. Yang Shiyang, a great Confucian in Jiangnan? Have you ever studied under the two saints of Chengmen? You used to be the deputy minister, the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion? Is that you? Zhao Zicheng said with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Yes, it's the old man." Yang Shi had a triumphant expression on his face.
"Mr. Yang came to the Humble House, the Humble House is really full of splendor!" Zhao Zicheng said.
Yang Shi looked at Zhao Zicheng's style like a scholar, and said, "You also know poetry and books?" Do you see the imperial examinations? Is it a talent or a talent now? ”
"Shame, shame! Xiaosheng has achieved nothing, and now he is neither a talent nor a person! It's not that Xiaosheng is not hard enough, it's just that I am a descendant of Taizu, and no examiner dares to hire Xiaosheng! Zhao Zicheng said.
"I see! So what do you live on now? Yang Shi said.
"Xiao Sheng has no power to tie the chicken, so he does some calligraphy and painting on the street, exchanging some bits and pieces of silver, and lives a very bitter cold." Zhao Zicheng said.
Yang Shi nodded, and after a long while, he said, "Do you know my intention?" ”
Zhao Zicheng shook his head, very confused.
Yang Shi smiled, immediately said his intention, and said, "Do you know about the assassination of Emperor Xuanwu?" ”
Zhao Zicheng said: "I have heard of it. ”
Yang Shi said: "Emperor Xuanwu is dead!" ”
Zhao Zicheng exclaimed in surprise and said, "Emperor Xuanwu is actually dead?" This ...... Isn't there no king in my Great Song Dynasty? ”
Yang Shidao: "That's right, so we need to choose a new monarch to succeed us!" ”
Zhao Zicheng was stunned for a moment and said, "The new monarch succeeds to the throne?" What does this have to do with me? Why the hell is the old gentleman here? ”
Yang Shi smiled silently, Zhao Zicheng reacted suddenly, stayed there, and after a while, his face showed an ecstatic expression, and then he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Ahh This time it was replaced by Yang, and he was stunned.
"My lord, he was just overly surprised, so he fainted! All you need to do is slap him twice! The servant next to him said.
At that moment, Yang Shi stood up and came to Zhao Zicheng's side, he rolled up his sleeves and slapped him hard, and Zhao Zicheng woke up faintly.
"Sir, I'm ......" Zhao Zicheng was confused.
"You immediately take your lady to my house, and let's discuss big things together!" Yang Shi laughed.
Not long after, Yang Shi, Zhao Zicheng and others left here together and went to Yang's mansion.
******
In Yuhang County, it also rains heavily.
In a barren mountain east of Yuhang County, hundreds of soldiers were constantly looking for Zhao Chen's traces on the mountain.
A middle-aged man in armor was also searching, with an anxious expression on his face, and after a while a soldier came to his side to report the situation.
"My lord, there is no trace of His Majesty for more than ten miles around here! Looks like no one has been here for a long time! Yuhang County should not have His Majesty! The soldier said.
"How's the information on Wang De's side?" Middle-aged humane.
"Lord Wang said that it was the White Lotus Sect that assassinated His Majesty, and he mobilized the Intelligence Department to investigate carefully during this time, and it seems that the people in the White Lotus Sect have also lost their traces of Your Majesty! Your Majesty was rescued that day, and he should have gone to the east! There is no mistake in the direction we are looking for now. The soldier said.
"Where's Lord Wu?" Middle-aged humane.
"Lord Wu went to the area of Jiaxing and looked for His Majesty there." The soldier said.
"Let's move on! There are still a few peaks ahead, let's look for them first. "Middle-aged humane.
He continued to search with his soldiers, but it was getting dark, and the rain was still falling, and none of these soldiers stopped.
The soldiers were very tired, and the middle-aged man ordered everyone to eat something, and then continued the search in the evening.
At that moment, the soldiers found a temporary shelter from the rain and divided into groups to eat in different places.
There were more than a dozen soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and these soldiers were eating and looking ahead, and at this time, a figure faintly appeared in the rain ahead.
The dozen or so soldiers immediately became vigilant, and gradually the figure got closer and closer, and it could be seen that the person was dressed in black, and he seemed to have a hat on his head.
"Who! Hold it! Immediately a soldier stood up and shouted.
There were also soldiers who went to inform the others that outsiders had broken in.
"It's me!" As the man in front of him drew closer and closer, he took off his hat, and suddenly a young and heroic face appeared in front of the soldiers.
"Your Majesty!" One of the soldiers saw the man on the other side and let out an exclamation.
"Your Majesty! It's Your Majesty! It's really him! The second soldier exclaimed.
Gradually, all the soldiers let out an exclamation.
"See Your Majesty!" More than a dozen soldiers fell to their knees in the muddy water, and everyone was excited.
"Who are you generals here? Take me to him! Zhao Chen said.
"Lord Kang Ankang is two miles ahead! Your Majesty, please come with us. A soldier said.
Zhao Chen nodded.
At that moment, Zhao Chen and these dozen soldiers went forward together, and met the rest of the soldiers on the way, and the rest of the soldiers also knelt down and were excited.
