The situation inside the city is not much better than outside the city, most of the shops are closed, because the city gate has been closed for a long time, the goods from all over the world can not be transported in at all, there is nothing to sell, and in the city of Tokyo today, fresh melons and fruits are rare, sky-high prices. There were few pedestrians in the market, and occasionally a few people were in a hurry, and they saw people on horseback bowing their heads to avoid them. The whole city of Tokyo is very deserted. On the contrary, groups of heavily armed soldiers patrolled back and forth, adding a solemn atmosphere to this ancient capital of several dynasties. The last time Xu Wei came to Tokyo was only a few months ago, but the same place is now a world of difference. After hundreds of years of peace and tranquility, the people of Tokyo have long forgotten the taste of war, and now the sudden invasion of the Jin army, even threatening the Jingshi across the river, made them unbelievable and frightened.

Before walking to the royal street, outside the palace, Xu Wei saw hundreds of people kneeling on the ground, and the first person in front was holding an object in both hands, not moving at all. The guards around them were eyeing each other, and the spears in their hands were lowered and pointed at them. Someone heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, looked back, and suddenly shouted: "It's Li Youcheng!" As soon as the words fell, the people kneeling on the ground got up one after another, turned Xu Wei and his party around, and said something. These people were agitated and blocked the road to prevent them from passing. Xu Wei listened for a long time before he understood that they were petitioning the imperial court. On closer inspection, I found that they were all young people in their twenties. Seeing this, the palace gate guards rushed up to separate them. But these young people did not give an inch, shouting loudly, pushing and shoving, people roared and neighed, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

Li Gang was in a hurry to go back on a business trip, and when he saw that everyone refused to let him go, he said loudly: "You students don't have to worry, who do you think this is?" With that, he looked at the planter.

Someone looked over this side, found the planter, his face changed, ran to the horse to carefully identify, suddenly bowed to the ground, and shouted excitedly: "The seed master has arrived!" The originally noisy and chaotic crowd instantly quieted down, and the students looked at each other. What a kind of male? A few people ran over and found that it was indeed a planter, so they ran and shouted. Hundreds of people gathered around the Seed Master Road, separating Xu Wei and the others from outside. Yao Pingzhong, who was riding side by side with him, showed impatience on his face and scolded in a low voice: "Such a poor and sour Confucian, he will only talk about it, and if it really comes to an end, he will not be able to do anything!" ”

Xu Wei expected that these people were the Tai students in the capital. In history, it was the joint petition of the Tai students led by Chen Dong that forced Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan to take the "six thieves" and "ten evils" represented by Cai Jing. From ancient times to the present, Chinese students have always been hot-blooded, synonymous with patriotism, every time the national disaster is at the head, the students are raising their arms and shouting, swaying public opinion, its power can not be underestimated. But then again, what Yao Pingzhong said is not completely unreasonable, are there still few examples of scholars talking about misleading the country?

At this time, the students angrily complained to the planter that so-and-so in the court was afraid of war, and so-and-so used power to humiliate the country and deceive the officials. They all asked the planter to lead the western army to repel the strong enemy and protect the territory and the people. Li Gang saw that the scene could not be cleaned up, and the official family was waiting in the palace again, so he dismounted and squeezed over, and said to the seed master: "And send the students, quickly enter the palace to face the saint." ”

The seed master sighed secretly, why didn't he want to mention the king's division to resist the enemy? It's just that there are some things that can't be said to these enthusiastic students, and there is no need to say them. Looking at the heroic young faces around him, the veteran of the battlefield arched his hand on horseback and said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this time I will return to Beijing to meet the official family." I dare not guarantee anything else, the old man will do his duty. ”

The students were still angry, Yao Pingzhong was annoyed and roared: "Are you waiting for it? It is the duty of our generation to march and fight, resist the enemy and resist humiliation, why do you need to ......"

The planter shouted loudly, and after repeatedly appeasing the students, he was able to pass. Dismounted at the gate of the palace, unarmed their weapons, and the group went straight to the lecture hall under the leadership of Li Gang. At this time, no one was in the mood to admire this magnificent imperial city, and the Jurchens made a mess north of the Yellow River, and all the soldiers and horses were crippled and scattered except for the northwest. Sticky Han is still surrounding Taiyuan, and the Great Song Dynasty, which was still a faction last year, became a pot of porridge in a blink of an eye. However, Xu Wei noticed that in this Tokyo Imperial Palace, it is no exaggeration to say that there is one post in five steps and one post in ten steps, and it seems that the emperor is really scared.

When I walked to one place, my eyes suddenly opened up, and the school field, which was hundreds of steps long and wide, thought to be the place where the emperor inspected the three armies. Passing through the square and climbing the stairs, the planter was sick and walked extremely hard. Just after a few dozen steps, he panted and said in a low voice: "Xu Wei, Xi Yan, you two help me to walk." ”

Xi Yan is Yao Pingzhong's cousin, and when he heard this, he and Xu Wei stepped forward to set up a seed master road and continue to move forward. Even so, he was walking with difficulty, and Li Gang couldn't help but sigh when he saw it on the side. The generals of the country, who rely on the Great Wall, are already riddled with diseases, and they are almost at the time of running out of oil and lamps. If there are three long and two short, who else can the court count on?

With only a few hundred steps, the Planter Dao was helped up by two juniors, and he couldn't help but sweat profusely. When I got to the gate of the hall, I had to rest for a while before I let the chamberlain go in to report. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he deliberately said to Yao Pingzhong: "When you see the official family, don't be reckless, be careful about everything, and don't talk too much if you don't ask you." Although Yao Pingzhong didn't like it, he still answered. Turning his head and glancing at Xu Wei, why didn't Shao Bao talk about him? Seed Master Dao looked at Xu Wei again, without a word, just nodded slightly.

After a while, the chamberlain came out and reported: "The official family announced the cultivation of Shaobao and waited for Jin to see." ”

On the empty hall, Zhao Huan, the ninth king of the Great Song Dynasty, was wearing a silk robe, wearing a crown of heaven, and sitting in a precarious position. On a handsome and white face, he couldn't hide his sadness, and although his hands were in his sleeves, he kept rubbing them. Only one chamberlain stood beside him, making the hall very cold. The group of seed masters entered the palace, pushed the gold mountain, poured the jade pillar, and the mountain called long live.

Zhao Huan's tone was extremely cordial, and he even stretched out his hand to support it, and said loudly: "Hurry up, please get up, the boss is the minister of the Pillar Country, and you don't have to be formal." "When the emperor calls his courtiers, he has always called them by name, or if he is closer, he will call him "Aiqing" is also a favor. Now Zhao Huan calls the seed master "old man", and its significance is extraordinary.

The planter thanked him, and couldn't get up with his hands on the ground, so Xu Wei reached out to help. When Zhao Huan saw it, he lost his voice and said, "Boss, this is ......"

The seed master reluctantly got up and confessed: "The minister has been fighting for many years, and the old disease has recurred, which has disturbed Your Majesty. ”

A look of surprise flashed on Zhao Huan's face, and he said with concern: "The boss is the Great Wall of the country, and you should take care of yourself." Since he is sick, from now on, he does not have to kneel, and he can take a soft sedan chair when entering the palace. When I first ascended to the throne, the country was in such a situation, the secretary and others were all people who led the troops, holding the country's weapons, and I still needed the secretary and others to unite and tide over the difficulties together. ”

The face of the monarch does not kneel, it has always been the patent of the powerful ministers who control the government and the hard-working fathers. Helplessly, Zhao Huan repeatedly refused, so he had to accept it. After the etiquette was over, the official family ordered someone to give him a seat, and he asked about the battle on the front line.
