Chai Keyan smiled faintly, his eyebrows were shining, and there was a hint of unique style, "Of course, as long as Master Li is left in Beijing, Zhao Yougong will definitely come, won't you be safe then?" Moreover, there are more important people in Bianliang City than Master Li, and with Zhao Ling's temperament, he will definitely stop on the way back to the north of the Jurchens. ”

I have never been so confident as I am now, but my confidence at this time is always so bleak, Zhao Yougong is affectionate and righteous, but he is not the man she can speak of. always says that he hates him, but sometimes many things have to be pointed at him. Turning his head, there was an ink painting of Zhao Ji in front of him. Zhao Huan's face was gloomy and ugly, and anyone who heard his woman discuss another man in a grand manner would not feel good, although Chai Keyan had never taken a fancy to him Zhao Huan. At this moment, he hates Zhao Yougong so much, as long as this man lives, he Zhao Huan is nothing, staring at the slightly lonely back, and asked softly, "Master Li is not stupid, will she stay in Beijing honestly?" Brother Ling will send someone to pick her up. ”

"You're right, Zhao Ling will definitely send someone, but Master Li may not be able to leave, do you really know Master Li?" Chai Keyan squinted his beautiful eyes, his chin was lowered, as if he was looking at the luxurious decorative patterns under his feet, "Let people spread some words, just say that Zhao Yougong, the king of Qin, colluded with the Jurchens to plot against my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Huan couldn't understand Chai Keyan's intention to do this, at least he felt that it was useless to do so, did Zhao Yougong care about that kind of reputation? Even if the people of Bianliang scolded Zhao Yougong, he didn't care at all, because his foundation was in Guanzhong.

Rumor. Forever it spreads so fast. People in the world love gossip. Some bad things often spread quickly, no, it's only been a long time, and before the turmoil of the official Zen position has passed, another news came out, saying that this time the Jurchens easily broke the Jin Mansion and attacked the Daimyo's Mansion, and that was because of the help of the Dingguo Army. His Royal Highness King Qin, Zhao Yougong, is an outright thief. At the instigation of well-intentioned people, this rumor spread more and more out of line, and later it has become a Jurchen barbarian, and they are all pretended to be by the Dingguo army itself. The people have a herd mentality, no, some people greeted them, and countless people followed them to the North Street, and they walked on the North Street mightily, the purpose was to besiege the Chu Wangfu, and the people of the Chu Wangfu must not be allowed to leave the capital, if Zhao is really an internal thief. Then let the people of the Chu Palace's Mansion accompany Bianliang City to finish it together. The people who have lost their minds have no reason at all. Sometimes the people are the loveliest, and sometimes the people hate people so much that they itch their teeth.

At this time, the palace of the king of Chu did not know the scene outside, in the front hall Li Shishi and Zhilan sat on the seat, and there was a burly warrior standing in the hall, this person's name was Gu Yunsheng, the current commander of the Ruifeng camp, "Lady, my subordinates are here, I am here to take the lady back to Chang'an on the order of His Royal Highness, and the princess has instructed me when I came, I hope that the lady will not delay, and leave as soon as possible." ”

The meaning of Gu Yunsheng's words is very obvious, that is, he doesn't want Shishi and Zhilan to spend the New Year in Beijing, so it's best to leave immediately. The master also understood Gu Yunsheng's eagerness, so he stretched out his hand and motioned for Gu Yunsheng to sit down, and said with a smile, "General Gu waits, after making a little arrangement, we will leave tonight." ”

After listening to the teacher's answer, Gu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was afraid that Li Niangzi and the others would not understand the reason, and they still wanted to spend the New Year in Beijing, so they would be depressed. Shi Shi and Zhilan went out of the front hall, and before they returned to the backyard, a domestic servant ran over in a panic and said breathlessly, "Lady, something happened, a group of Diao people appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the door of our house." What did the Jurchens be attracted by His Royal Highness, and they didn't let us go out, just when Xiao Liuzi went to buy vegetables, he was beaten back as soon as he went out. ”

Well? The master is not stupid, at this time, the people surrounded the Chu Palace, didn't it make it clear that they didn't want her to leave? It's Chai Keyan's ghost trick again, the technique is the same as trapping Zhao Ji, the master showed a wry smile on his face, turned his head and said, "Zhilan, you can go with General Gu for a while, I can't go, if I go, His Royal Highness will be convicted of colluding with the Jurchens." In this way, the prestige he had built before was gone. ”

If you want to go, you must be able to go, but the problem is that the teacher himself doesn't want to go. In the past two years, Shishi has always felt that his position in the Qin Palace's position is embarrassing, perhaps because of his background. She doesn't have many means like Nian Nu'er, and she is competitive, but she also hopes to have a place. Isn't this an opportunity, if she can survive this storm, she can face the women of the Qin Palace, and if she doesn't survive, she will also preserve Her Highness's reputation.

The master didn't want to leave, and Zhilan had no choice but to smile helplessly, "The lady is not afraid, what is the servant afraid of, just stay, just let General Gu go back by himself, I believe His Highness can understand." ”

There was a lot of noise outside the palace of the king of Chu, and the teacher Shi Shiran walked out, wearing a black cloak, white embroidered boots stepping on the cold bluestone, black and white wrapped her, looking holy and cold. Today's teacher is no longer the Li family of the year, she has an inexplicable majesty on her body, she doesn't have to speak, she just frowned slightly, and the restless crowd has quieted down. Looking at these Bianliang people with different faces, the master said lightly, "I will always stay in the Chu Palace, no matter what happens to Bianliang City, I will live and die with Bianliang." There are many rumors in the market that are not credible, and I don't care about those who have been fooled this time, but from now on, if anyone dares to come to the palace to make trouble, don't blame the soldiers in the palace for having no eyes. ”

After saying these words, the master turned around and stepped into the palace gate with the support of Zhilan, and then the gate of the palace was closed. People outside the palace, you look at me, I look at you, no one can say anything, even those who provoke trouble don't dare to talk nonsense, just kidding, this is the Chu Palace, since the head of the palace said that they would kill, they will definitely kill. Moreover, as far as Master Li just said, who would doubt it?

The teacher dismissed the troublesome people of Bianliang with a few words, but she herself had to stay in the capital to face the impending risks. In the seventh year of Xuanhe, or the first year of Jingkang, it was so changeable, the Bianliang River did not freeze, and in the wind and frost of the northern land, the iron hooves of the people of the Jin country moved. The last day of the year. Wanyan Zongbi soldiers out of Anyang Mansion. Stormed Liyang in the south, and in half a day, Liyang was broken. Liyang fell, and the Jurchens began to collect local boats and carriages, the purpose was self-evident, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, the Jurchen iron cavalry would storm Yangwu. Cross the Yellow River.

The Yellow River moat is about to disappear, if the rolling Yellow River can't stop the Jurchens' progress, who can stop it?

Is the Yellow River broken? Not yet, but for the people of Bianliang City, it is almost broken, no one has thought about it this year, everyone is wondering whether to take refuge, or find ways to stop the Jurchen barbarians.

In the sound of bamboo cannons, a new year was ushered in, but this year is closed. There was no festivity, and the streets were full of people running. Even the officials of the imperial court lost their desire to have fun. The official Zhao Huan constantly summoned the generals of the DPRK and China, and it took great effort to mobilize 50,000 elite soldiers to rush to the Yellow River crossing near Yangwu. Although there were 50,000 troops defending the Yellow River, everyone did not have much confidence. The Yellow River is so long, can you guard Yangwu, can you guard Fengqiu, and can you still guard all the ferries? As long as the Jurchens want to cross the Yellow River, they will definitely be able to cross it, at least in the Central Plains, there is no soldier or horse that can compete with the Jurchen iron cavalry. In the palace of the king of Chu, there is no New Year's flavor at all, how can the master still have the heart to celebrate the New Year, the Jurchens have hit Liyang, and they have said that the Yellow River will cross the Yellow River, and there are still many things she has to do, the fourth sister Zhao Fujin is a headache, not to mention, just one Liu Xinyuan is enough for people to bear.

Concubine Liu can't leave the capital anyway, but what about the child, this child is related to the overall situation of the future, and there must be no accident. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the teacher took the opportunity to visit the palace to greet the New Year, and now Zhao Ji has long lived in the North Palace, Zhao Ji left the North Palace, and the little Concubine Liu, who is a concubine, naturally cannot stay in the Nuanxiang Pavilion, and now she has lived in the Yaxin Garden in the West Palace. The name of Yaxin Garden is good, but it is too far away according to the Nuan Xiang Pavilion, with the help of Yang Lian, the teacher quietly entered Yaxin Garden. After meeting, the teacher couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was worried outside, Liu Xinyuan was good, her face was red, and she was drinking a little wine, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look worried, "You are comfortable, you are not afraid at all?" ”

"Master, what are you afraid of? The Jurchens are coming, so what can they do? What's more, that enemy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can it let the Jurchen get cheap in vain, doesn't he care that we don't care about our own flesh and blood? Liu Xinyuan looked heartless, but she was deep-minded, if she was worried, she would have fled the palace with her child in her arms. Isn't the reason why you stay here for the future? said, as if he remembered something, put down his chopsticks, frowned and said with some distress, "That wrongdoer wants the emperor to leave Bianliang, and it is no fun, it seems that Zhao Huan wants to marry her to Liu Xianning, the eldest son of the Liu family, in order to win over Liu Guangshi." ”

The master frowned when he heard this, sat down and said patiently, "When did this happen?" Why is there no wind at all? "The master is indeed a little curious, the dark hall and the intelligence department have been controlling the palace, as long as there is a disturbance in the palace, they will definitely be able to find it, but this time they didn't notice it at all.

Concubine Liu pushed a bowl to her teacher, and said with a slow smile, "Just yesterday's incident, it was Zhao Huan who mentioned it to Zhao Ji, if it wasn't for Zhao Ji's anger in his heart and he said it when he complained, I wouldn't know." Hey, it seems that the county lord of our family is amazing, how long has it been, and it is to establish prestige and rectify Wang Huang, and now he has begun to collect soldiers and horses. ”

In the battle of Nanjing City in the north, the losses were heavy, and Tong Guan was finished, and his descendants were almost lost, not to mention that he had not returned to Bianliang, even if he came back, it would be the end of killing the head and asking the guilt. Tong Guan is useless, but he has to collect the military power as much as possible, and now most of the soldiers and horses in Tokyo are controlled by Liu Guangshi, who will Zhao Huan win over if he doesn't win over Liu Guangshi? Although the Liu family can have today's status is Zhao Ji's favor, it is said that the possibility of winning over the Liu family is very small, but Liu Guangshi's desire for rights is too heavy, as long as he promises a lot of profits, he is afraid that Liu Guangshi will not return? Moreover, Liu Guangshi is very smart, as long as he is smart, he can see how much potential Zhao Huan has with the help of the Lord of Cheshire, at least for now, the possibility of the former official Zhao Ji turning over is getting smaller and smaller, so ah, Zhao Huan's marriage of the fourth sister Zhao Fujin to Liu Xianning is definitely a good move. It's no wonder that Zhao Ji is angry, even if it is he Zhao Ji who wins people's hearts, how can he be preempted by Zhao Huan?

"Chai Keyan is not a good type, it's better to be more careful, I can rest assured when I see you in my heart, and then be more stable, don't act rashly, if something happens." Send the child away first! ”

"Just rest assured. I'm just this one child. I feel distressed" Liu Xinyuan said the truth, holding his chin with both hands, and the sweetness in his expression jumped up. After so many years, the only happy thing is to have a child of your own, right?

In the second year of Jingkang, it was a bit messy, just after the fifth day of the first lunar month, the streets and alleys of Bianliang were full of notices, and the forbidden army raided the mansion of Shaozai Wang Huang. Wang Hao's strength in the court is amazing. Hearing that Wang Hao had been arrested, many officials had already made a lot of effort to give the trusted emperor a little color. Although it is said that once the son of heaven is a courtier, the speed of attacking the old minister is not too fast. Today is Wang Hao, tomorrow it may be yourself, not for Wang Hao, even if it is for yourself, you have to go to the book to nag. However, before the court officials were ready, Li Niangzi of the Chu Wangfu spoke, saying that Wang Huang was a traitor and should have been killed a long time ago for killing the people. Boy. At this moment, the people of Bianliang applauded, and the officials who were about to write the book also retreated. These people hurriedly burned the folds that were not presented, and when someone came to talk about Wang Huang, they hurriedly waved their hands to indicate that they did not know anything and did not participate. What are you kidding, under the rectification of the new official family, at most you will lose your official position and dismiss your lord, but if you go against the Chu Wangfu, you will lose your life, and you want to compare losing your official position with losing your life, it is too good to choose.

In two days, the forbidden army searched Wang Huang's home, and the money and wealth found were incalculable, but most of these things fell into the treasury of the Chu Palace. As soon as Wang Hao fell, Li Bangyan was frightened, if it had been placed before, Wang Hao or Cai Jing would have fallen, it would have been too late for him to applaud, would he be afraid? This time it's different, all the reasons for the new official's rectification of Wang Hao are false, and only one is true, just because Wang Hao is the favorite of the previous official's family and has a high position. Wang Hao is an "old minister of the former dynasty", and so is Li Bangyan, so in this regard, he Li and Wang are grasshoppers on a rope, and Li Bangyan is afraid that the next fire will burn on his head, so he is panicked. Speaking of which, Gao Yu is still smart, since he played the official Zhao Ji Zen position, Gao Yu began to be sick at home, and he didn't care about anything, and the new official family in the palace governor's mansion could arrange whoever he wanted, and Gao didn't care about it, and Zhao Huan was too lazy to fix him. But Li Bangyan is different, jumping up and down all day long, always thinking about fighting for power, and now he can be looked at by Zhao Huan.

After nightfall, a black-robed man sneakily entered the door of the Chu Palace, and in the side courtyard, the master saw the arrival, frowned, and reprimanded very unhappily, "Li Bangyan, didn't you say that you can't come if there is no major event, who let you come at this time?" ”

Li Bangyan didn't say much, knelt on the ground, knelt and climbed two steps to look, kowtowed and cried, "Lady help, subordinates are loyal to His Royal Highness, never have two hearts, you have to help your subordinates, if the lady doesn't care, Wang Hao is finished, and the next one is his subordinates." Li Bangyan burst into tears, the cry made people feel distressed when they heard it, I have to say that Li is a performer, these tears will come, but there are people in the officialdom, which one is not a performer?

Shishi is very disgusted with people like Li Bangyan, he has a good skin, and his stomach is full of straw bales, don't look at Li Bangyan crying miserably, Shishi really didn't take it seriously, his face was very cold, "Hmph, are you loyal to Your Highness?" Why didn't you say anything about Yang Lian going to find you before, and why didn't you mention the matter of the Cheshire Lord promising you a lot of money? Li Bangyan, Li Bangyan, do you really think that my Chu Wangfu is so easy to deceive? Do you think the Lord of Cheshire and the new official family are really optimistic about you? ”

Li Bangyan was stunned, he even forgot to cry, he was half-open and stunned, the meeting between him and Yang Lian was very hidden, how did everyone Li know? At that time, Yang Lian came to find her, just to plan how to leave Bianliang secretly. Li Bangyan did not suspect Yang Lian, Yang Lian is Yang Jian's nephew, and he was picked up by the official family, in the eyes of others, Eunuch Yang is the official Zhao Ji's person, without Zhao Ji, he is nothing, so anyone can betray Zhao Ji, but Yang Lian is impossible. It is not a secret that he received the benefits of the Cheshire Lord, Wang Hao and others have also received it before, because of this, everyone has little objection to Zhao Huan's ascendancy, now think about it, it was really tricked, Zhao Huan is as timid as a mouse, he is simply a wolf in sheep's clothing, just succeeded to the throne, he used a knife against Wang Huang, and the good words he said before turned his head and forgot to go aside.

"Lady, your subordinates are confused, but your subordinates really haven't done anything harmful to Your Highness" Li Bangyan was really scared, he was still in tears before, but now he was sweating, this handsome prodigal prime minister knelt on the ground without any image, letting the cold earth erode his knees, even if his lips were blue from the cold, he didn't dare to stand up.

"You're not confused at all, you want to make some benefits from either side, you're really smart. If you have done anything to be sorry for Your Highness, do you think you can still live until now? Hmph, get out, your life won't be lost, but if you're smart, hurry up and quit the court affairs and go to stay with Zhao Kai, understand? "The teacher's wording is harsh, far from being as gentle as usual, for people like Li Bangyan, it is useless to be gentle and kind, only the knife is the most effective.

Sure enough, Li Bangyan didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and ran away in disgrace.

In Chang'an City, the cold wind kept blowing, and on the sixth day of the new year, Gu Yunsheng came back from Bianliang, and he came back alone. Hearing about what happened in Bianliang City, Zhao Yougong could only sigh helplessly, the teacher is also too arrogant, who has underestimated her, he has to fight for this tone, besides, does he Zhao still need this reputation? If you don't come back, you won't come back, and you can only change the method, I originally wanted to go to Dading Mansion, but in order to avoid Wanyan Ergou jumping off the wall in a hurry and hurting the teacher and the child, I could only send troops in advance.

On the ninth day of the first month of the second year of Jingkang, a strong wind swept through the Central Plains, after the wind raged, the desolate scenery has not eased, and the horseshoe of the people of the Jin country came to the outside of Fengqiu City. Now the Great Song Dynasty has arranged an army of 60,000 in the area from Fengqiu to Yangwu, and there are more than 10,000 people in Fengqiu City. Now, Tong Guan does not dare to return to Beijing, after such a big defeat, can the imperial court tolerate him? If it was the previous official, he could still defend himself, but the new official would not listen to those nonsense.

This time, Wanyan Zonghan personally led the troops, and the siege army prepared ladders and other siege objects. Because Fengqiu City is not strong, so it became crumbling under the strong attack of the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom at the beginning, this time Tong Guan personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and has been pampered for many years, Tong Guan has rarely used a knife or a gun, this time he personally raised a knife and cut people. Tong Guan is also a way to do this, the battle of Nanjing Yongding River, the loss is so big, he is already a dead end, this Fengqiu guarding battle, is his last straw, if you can hold the Fengqiu, maybe you can pick up a life, if you can't keep it, you don't have to go back to Bianliang, it's better to die on the battlefield.

Tong Guan personally wielded a knife to kill the enemy, which really boosted morale, Wanyan Zonghan is also a generation of fierce generals, and he attacked for a day in order to seal the hill, but he was stunned and failed to defeat it.

Is Tong Guan a mediocre talent? It's really not necessarily, although he is a eunuch, but he is fighting in the east and west, from the battle of Western Xia to quelling the rioters, if you have no real ability, it is absolutely impossible to make so many contributions. However, reality is stronger than people, and the two battles of Nanjing were all defeated, and because of this, Wanyan Zonghan was a little contemptuous at the beginning, after meeting in Fengqiu City. Wanyan Zonghan was not annoyed, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops to pounce on Yangwu in the west. Yangwu City has thick walls, and Liu Guangshi's deputy general Cao Jilin is personally stationed there, so the imperial court has not been too worried about Yangwu City. Now that Yan Zonghan has switched to Yangwu, he also knows a little bit that the mountain has a tiger bias towards the tiger mountain. However, since Wanyan Zonghan dares to fight, he must be sure. Intrigue in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, the same is true of the Dajin Kingdom, since Wanyan Zongwang succeeded the Khan, he has been eyeing the military power in the hands of Wanyan Zonghan, and he is always thinking about how to transfer the military power to Wanyan Zongbi's name. This time, Yan Zonghan sent troops to the Yellow River crossing, which was a complete situation. (To be continued......)
