The noon sun shone directly on the Tong Palace, and the old man was weakly curled up on the ground of the bluestone slab, his white hair was messy, his forehead was torn, and the body of the crown was full of stains and dirty, with shackles around his neck, ropes on his hands, and the other end tied to the paulownia tree.

"He's like a dog, an old dog waiting to be slaughtered...... Nanzi stood on the pavilion of Tonggong and looked down, and there was a trace of pity.

The Song people eat dog meat, especially in Fengyi and Peiyi, which are the most famous, Shangqiu City is full of dog slaughter from those two places, Nanzi passed through Dongshi when he was young, and once covered his eyes and peeked for a while. Le Daxin, the winner who has controlled the Song dynasty for more than ten years, pretended to be sick and deceived her, and staged a coup d'état at the beginning of the autumn and imprisoned the monarch, even today.

Recalling the events of the past two days, Nanzi felt like a world away.

It was probably in the early hours of this morning, the news of the defeat of the combined forces of Zheng, Wei, Gongzidi, and Gongzichen in Mengzhu reached Shangqiu, and the Wei army was annihilated, the Zheng army fled westward, and the two sons were nowhere to be found. This news shocked Shangqiu, and before Nanzi had time to rejoice in Zhao Wuxian, a new coup d'état was immediately triggered in the city.

Under the orders of the Duke of Song, the soldiers of the imperial clan and the palace armor who guarded the Song Palace suddenly went out of the palace, declared Le Daxin to be a traitor to coerce the monarch, and called on the people to expel him. Originally, Le Daxin left 3,000 people to stay in Shangqiu, half of which were in the hands of Gongzi Zhongtuo and Gongzi Shiyan, and they fought with the countrymen loyal to Song Gong in the alley, and the victory or defeat was only five or five.

However, in the morning, things changed again, and I don't know how Song Gong said about Zhongtuo, he actually killed his younger brother Shi Yan, forcibly seized the military talisman, and then fell to Song Gong's faction. Le Daxin's party was immediately defeated, losing all the city gates, and Le Daxin himself was captured at home.

However, it was a parade on the street, and Le Daxin suffered a lot of shame. A generation of celebrities was swept away, and Song Gong was able to repay the grievances that he had endured for more than ten years.

Now Song Zhengcheng is busy with Gongzi Zhongtuo and others to chase down the remnants of the rebel party in the city, this is a clean-up that destroys people's feelings, Song Gong demanded that "the evil must be eliminated", so Le Daxin and the families of the three sons were all beheaded in Dongshi. There was a river of blood in that area, and the cry resounded through Shangqiu. Nanzi can also be faintly heard on the platform of Tonggong. Song Gong specially left Le Daxin to witness this scene as revenge, and now the old Qingshi is physically and mentally dead, and he was shackled and thrown in the open space of Tonggong to die.

The green flies were flying around Le Daxin's curled up body, and Nanzi finally couldn't stand it anymore: "I'm going down to see his ......"

The palace armor and Fu Mu behind him were unmoved, they did not give an inch, after the showdown between Song Gong and Nanzi, Nanzi was finally able to move freely in the Tong Palace, but there were still countless people around him to watch.

Seeing that the commander couldn't move these people, Nanzi could only say with tears in his eyes: "Then I can let someone send him a mouthful of water?" No matter how much evil he does. After all, it is also Song Guozhengqing, and it is desolate enough to end up like this. ”

Nanzi's tearful eyes were irresistible, and Gong Jia discussed with Fu Mu and agreed to let Nanzi's personal maid send an urn of clear water to Le Daxin.

The maid walked over tremblingly with the water urn in her arms, and when her shadow covered the sunlight for Le Daxin, Le Daxin, who looked like she was dead, moved slightly.

The maidservant explained her intentions and served him to get up and drink water, and Nanzi could see it. Le Daxin's bloodstained eyes looked in his direction - it is said that Song Gong personally cut off the heads of Le Daxin's second son and threw them into his arms. The old gentleman burst into tears, and finally cried blind.

Nanzi also saw that Le Daxin seemed to nod, and opened his mouth to say something again.

"What did he say to you?" When the maidservant returned, Nanzi squeezed her wrist tightly and asked.

He said...... "That maid is a close confidant in Nan's uterus, and Song Gong allowed her to serve after Nanzi begged hard. She carefully avoided the watchers. whispered: "He said, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the princess saw the old man like this, I'm afraid it was a thing, and he said, ......"

"What else. Say it all! ”

The maid's voice became smaller and smaller: "I also said that if the princess doesn't plan early, his today is the tomorrow of the princess!" ”

……

In the afternoon, the old gentleman was finally dragged away, and he was to be tortured in front of the Song Palace. Nanzi couldn't get out of Tong Palace, and instigated a servant girl to watch, and afterwards the servant girl vomited, her face was pale, and she said that Le Daxin had been cursing Song Gong Wude before he died, and cursed Gongzi Zhong Tuo to kill his own brother, and he would not die well.

Nanzi disagreed: "It's just unwillingness before death." ”

But Nanzi pondered about what Le Daxin said in Tonggong for a long time, and it wasn't until an hour later that Song Gong came to Tonggong with his son Zhongtuo, and she suddenly realized.

After experiencing the bloody brutality in the morning, Song Gong seemed to have regained his former generosity and benevolence, and he was full of red light when he returned to the power of Shangqiu, and as soon as he came in, he showed a long-lost smile to Nanzi.

"How comfortable have you been staying for the past two days?"

Nanzi bent down and saluted: "No matter how comfortable it is, Nanzi is very content." "Warm water that is comfortable seems to drown a person, and the next moment it will turn into boiling water that boils rotten flesh......

"I've also seen your uncle Zhong Tuo, he is a great hero in quelling the rebels this time!"

Song Gong said while intimately letting Gongzi Zhongtuo step forward, he was a short middle-aged man, no more than six feet tall, and ugly in appearance, with a slightly hunched back, the most inconspicuous and the most restrained among Song Gong's younger brothers, and the person Nanzi looked down on the most.

Did you bribe the hero who killed your brother?

But Nanzi hurriedly saluted again, and his voice was respectful and affectionate: "Uncle......"

"How dare you, I don't see my niece for more than a month, it's really like three autumns......"

Zhong Tuo returned the salute, and a pair of ugly little eyes stared at Nanzi's chest, which made Nanzi ashamed and angry. Of course, she knew that the entire Song Kingdom, except for Le Daxin, almost everyone coveted her, but they generally restrained ** and pretended to be a humble gentleman, and only Zhong Tuo was so straightforward, how could he dare to do this in the past?

The landed phoenix is not as good as a chicken, Nanzi suddenly felt that Le Daxin's words were good, and now he has become a fish on the knife.

What's even more tragic is that his father is the one who cuts meat......

Sure enough, after praising Zhong Tuo, Duke Song said meaningfully: "From now on, Zhong Tuo will not only be a son, he will be the prince of Song Kingdom, a hundred years later." It's up to him to inherit the throne! ”

Nanzi was a little surprised, and also understood why Zhong Tuo suddenly turned back and stabbed Le Daxin. Who would have expected that the other three sons would die and flee, and in the end, he would be left alive. And he was allowed to be the crown prince by the Duke of Song......

Song Gong looked at his daughter and younger brother with a smile, he didn't know what he was thinking, he immediately asked them to follow him to the high platform of Tonggong, and Nanzi felt that Zhong Tuo behind him was staring at his skirt tightly, and his eyes were explicit and full of **, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

The door at the back was tightly closed, and there were only three people left here, and the building was more than ten zhang high, which was the highest point in Song City. Standing here and looking into the distance, you can not only overlook the main hall, the yellow hall and the triple palace gate. You can also see the Mong Gate to the northeast, where the city gate is closed and heavily guarded, and it seems that several chariots and horses are knocking on the door.

Song Gong pointed to the location of Mengmen, and suddenly said to Nanzi: "Do you know, I have learned the news that Zhao Wuxian and Sicheng Le have won a big victory. Just about to come from there. ”

Nanzi was surprised and delighted, but Song Gong pointed to the Yangmen due east again: "There are also the Wu people and the Xiang brothers who came from the east. They also want to enter the city from here. ”

Song Gong gritted his teeth and slammed on the railing, startling Nanzi: "Both of these families have found foreign aid, but their conspiracy to steal the government of the Song State will never succeed!" Because the widow is still there, and a new prince has also been appointed! ”

He glanced at his impatient brother. Zhong Tuo still has more than 1,000 people in his hands, which is an important support for the Duke of Song, and he needs Zhong Tuo to help him defend Shangqiu, and not let the rebellious ministers and thieves and foreign interferers who send troops to knock on the door outside the city come in. As long as it is winter, Zhao Wuxian and Wu Guoren will naturally have to retreat. Sicheng Le and Xiang also only had one way to surrender.

Song Gong suddenly looked at Tongshu and sighed: "Now that the office is scattered, there are not many people left. ”

The leaves of the tung trees in the Tong Palace are becoming more and more yellow, and a gust of autumn wind can blow down a large area, Nanzi knew that Song Gong's mood was not good again, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"The widow has been thinking for a long time, and wants to cancel your marriage with Wei Hou......" Song Gong's kindness did not make Nanzi a little happy, when she knew that she was just a tool for the exchange of interests in her father's heart, she had already died of her heart for the future, not worse, only the worst.

Song Gong suddenly put Nanzi and Zhong Tuo's hands together, Zhong Tuo's hands were wet and cold, and his stubby fingers were still wantonly pinching the soft flesh of Nanzi's palms, which made Nanzi uncomfortable and extremely aggrieved, but he could only hold back his tears and not let them fall.

Now, is her only hope that Zhao Wuxian can break through the city? I can only close my eyes and accept the teasing of fate next?

Sure enough, Song Gong continued: "Ji and Jiang pay attention to the same surname and not marry, their historian said that men and women have the same surname, and their lives are not rich, it seems to be conclusive, but in fact, it is not. Yin Shang's marriage match has always been different from the Zhou people, we are the heirs of the Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, the bloodline comes from the Emperor of Heaven, in order to make the Emperor's blood pure, not to dislike the marriage of one surname, the woman is good to marry Wu Ding, revitalize the country, Emperor Yi and others often marry nieces as wives. Therefore, the widow wants to call the shots and marry you to your uncle Zhong Tuo......"

……

After hearing this, Nanzi's heart was cold.

In fact, on that day, Song Gong summoned her, pushed her down heavily and scolded her in the chrysanthemum, and he had already made his words very clear: "You don't want to marry Wei Hou? That's good, the widow will change the marriage for you, as long as you can benefit the orphan, the widow can treat Yu Jiang the same as Qi Xianggong, let you be steamed by your nephew, and it doesn't matter if you are reported by your brother! ”

For example, the most unbearable uncle Zhong Tuo...... Maybe he was just a temporary marriage promiser, trying his best to defend the city for the Duke of Song in order to make this person loyal. Maybe when he is useless, Duke Song will change another husband for Nanzi, maybe it is the husband of the prince of Wu State, maybe Zhao Wuxian, maybe anyone.

Everyone is a husband, a father is one, Hu Kebi is also, is that what it means? As long as he can contribute to the power and stability of Song Gong's power, he can marry Nanzi to anyone.

Nanzi finds herself completely in a cage.

Tonggong is a birdcage for her, and what about the entire Shangqiu, Song Kingdom, and even the female virtues in this world?

Nanzi's unwillingness did not turn into tears, but turned into a smile, as if she accepted her father's order, and happily held the hand of her uncle Zhongtuo.

"Nanzi thanks his father for agreeing to marry, Nanzi has admired his uncle for a long time, and he will be inseparable in the future. After a hundred years of his father, Nanzi will also stay in the Song Kingdom as the Duchess of Song, and there is nothing better than this. ”

Zhong Tuo was overjoyed by the beauty, and he couldn't wait to get married tonight, Song Gong was also very relieved, with Nanzi tethering Zhong Tuo, Shangqiu should be able to keep it, and his status and life could also be saved, this useless daughter finally had a little use, and she didn't have to give birth to her in vain.

Nanzi suddenly became shy, and said coquettishly to Song Gong: "Nanzi has been married for many years, and now he is finally getting married, he can no longer serve his father every day, can his father hug Nanzi again like he did when he was young?" ”

Song Gong was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Nanzi had already pounced on him like a homing magpie and burrowed into his stiff and stiff arm.

It's cold......

At the moment when he hugged his father tightly, Nanzi felt a chill, so cold.

When I was young, my father's arms were full of warmth, just like Surabaya in March.

But now, it seems that there is no trace of family affection, only utilization and calculation remain, cold to the bone marrow, colder than the rain in autumn.

One night of autumn rain and one night of cold, the relationship between father and daughter froze.

She muttered something about her childhood, which firmly attracted Song Gong's attention, and she seemed to be hugging her father and dancing until she approached the position where there was no railing on the high platform, but she quickly broke free of her arms and pushed him forward!

Song Gong was bloated and had no strength, so he staggered back unexpectedly, and his shoes slipped on the smooth raised floor!

Song Gong was full of horror, he had lost his balance, and his twisted hand tried to reach forward to grab his daughter, but Nanzi leaned over and kicked him in the leg again.

"Nanzi, you !!!"

Song Gong's anger turned into a scream, and he fell off the ten-zhang high platform, and under the stage, there was still a bluestone slab with traces of Le Daxin's blood!

After a while, there was a dull loud noise, and the screams stopped abruptly, and the entire Tong Palace was stirred, and the temples and maidservants in the audience exclaimed again and again.

The autumn wind began to blow again, and the cold on the high platform was pressing, and Nanzi, who knew the result without having to bow his head, covered his mouth and didn't know whether he was crying or laughing. During her captivity, she overlooked the high platform countless times, imagining the scene of herself jumping down and committing suicide, Song Gong was head-down, and he would definitely die.

From just now, Gongzi Zhongtuo was frightened by the change in front of him, and his happy father-daughter relationship suddenly turned into a tragedy of killing the king, he raised his trembling fingers, pointed to his niece, his fiancée and said, "You...... You kill your father, kill your king!

Nanzi raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Tuo who was at a loss, he was not a hero, he was just a jumping beam advocate in this Song State drama. She comforted herself and said: "That's right, my heart is a bandit, I can't turn it, my heart is a bandit, I can't roll it!" Nanzi will never be manipulated in this life! ”

The palace armor outside the gate of the high platform was shouting loudly, slamming the door with their weapons, Nanzi knew that Gongzi Zhongtuo's subordinates were outside the Tong Palace, and he had no strength inside.

She got up suddenly, and took advantage of the moment when Gongzi Zhongtuo stood still, and ran over to take off the latch, and the tears that had been brewing for a long time fell. Facing the stunned palace armor, Nanzi trembled all over, like a fledgling that had lost its father, she was overwhelmed with grief, and cried to the black-pressed guards:

"It's Gongzi Zhongtuo, it's he who pushed the monarch off the high platform!" (To be continued.) )
