Chapter 294: Moving West with the Emperor
Three days later, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin came. Unlike Shi Liai, who was urgently dispatched by Wanyan Zonghan last time, this time the Jin State sent a delegation with more than sixty people. Among them, there are more than 30 of them, and they are Shi Liai's small relatives.
The first condition proposed by Chu Tianya was met by Jin Guo.
Personally, Shi Liai, who is imprisoned in a foreign country, must miss his family; It is of course a joy to be reunited with my family now. But at the same time, he fell into a real dilemma and confusion...... "Dajin Guo, really give up on me!" ”
For a while, the beauty and warmth of family affection were intertwined with the complete loss of politics, and Shi Liai's heart was like being covered by a net, and he even felt heavy breathing.
To untie the bell, you must tie the bell, and Chu Tianya used this method to the end. In the end, regardless of whether Shi Liai wanted to or not, he would never be able to return to Jinguo.
Chu Tianya asked Shi Liai's family to take Shi Liai's family to the Taishi Mansion together, but settled the envoys of the Jin Kingdom in the post house, and was not in a hurry to arrange to meet them, and instructed the post guards and guards of the post house not to restrict the freedom of these envoys, and let them walk around Tokyo at will.
Chu Tianya gave them enough time to understand the current situation in the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty and complete their mission of "espionage" first.
At the same time, Chu Tianya officially proposed the construction of Xixing Luoyang to the official family above the early dynasty. The reason is very good, after the First World War, there were occasional plague outbreaks near Tokyo, and in case the wave reached the city of Tokyo, the consequences would be unimaginable; After this battle, coupled with the southern tour of the Emperor Taishang, the treasury of Tokyo was already empty and lacking food and materials, and even the officials and the rulers would be suspected of shortages of rations, not to mention the two or three hundred thousand troops stationed inside and outside the city. If the army is deprived of pay and food, it is possible to trigger a mutiny at such an extraordinary time of political instability.
Plague, mutiny, these two words alone were enough to frighten the officials and most of the courtiers to fight. Besides, it is a well-known fact that Tokyo is currently short of food, and rice is sold at ten times the price of the past.
In the past, Kaifeng Mansion, the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty, was a prosperous city that the world looked up to; But two successive sieges overshadowed it; Now, because of the convenience of Cao Yun, the granary is full and there are not many wars, so the materials are rich and the society is stable.
Compared with the two, fools know that now Xijing Henan Mansion is more suitable for the Son of Heaven than Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion.
Therefore, the official Zhao Huan also quite happily accepted Chu Tianya's suggestion. Some ministers in the court who disagreed in their hearts could not find sufficient reasons to refute for a while, so they had to acquiesce in their approval.
The official family of the Great Song Dynasty decided to take advantage of Xijing. He was accompanied by most of the courtiers such as Chu Tianya, the king of Luoyang, and Xu Han, the third envoy, leaving the privy envoy Zong Ze as a guard in Tokyo. Staying in Tokyo with them were Jiao Wentong and Yue Fei and others, as well as 100,000 forbidden troops and 20,000 tigers.
The Jin envoys had not yet seen the Son of Heaven and the King of Luoyang of the Great Song Dynasty, so they had to move to Luoyang to discuss the peace alliance between the two countries.
Chu Tianya's Taishi Mansion hadn't yet lived, so he put up his bunk and prepared to leave. In fact, everyone, including Chu Tianya, didn't have a good impression of Tokyo and the Taishi Mansion. Luoyang is the home and belonging in their hearts. Hearing that he was going to accompany Emperor Xixing, the whole Taishi Mansion cheered - go home!
Jiao Wentong and Yue Fei nominally assisted Zong Ze to stay in Tokyo, but the two had already been under secret orders. Just wait for Chu Tianya's side to give an order, and the two will lead their troops and horses to Hebei. In this regard, Zong Ze is not aware of it at present, and only Chu Tianya, Jiao Wentong and Yue Fei have a tacit understanding with Putian.
After Chu Tianya entered the court, the 200,000 Chu family army in Wutong Yuan was reduced and reduced, and all the remaining men and horses were divided into the establishment of the Great Song Forbidden Army. Jiao Wentong and Yue Fei are still stationed in the Huben camp near Taishi Mansion, training troops and taking charge of security in the city, which can be regarded as Zong Ze's right-hand men.
Tokyo, which had just experienced a war and turmoil, was once again in turmoil. The Son of Heaven is fortunate in the west, but it is not a trivial matter, to put it bluntly, the court of the Great Song Dynasty was temporarily moved over, which is naturally a big project. It took ten days before I set off.
Chu Tianya sent Qingwei, who secretly monitored the envoy of the Jin State, to report the news, saying that the envoy of the Jin State had frequently used flying pigeons to spread the news to the outside world recently, and he must be reporting the movements in Tokyo. Chu Tianya laughed and said in his heart, whether it is good to finish Yan Zongwang or Shi Liai, including this group of stunned and annoyed envoys of the Jin Kingdom, they are all props and extras of someone in my Chu!
The official family of the Great Song Dynasty finally set off for the West. Chu Tianya was dressed in uniform, and personally led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to guard from the side, accompanying him all the way. It is rare for such a huge rule to travel by the Son of Heaven, and the Great Song Dynasty is eye-catching all over the world. There is no shortage of people who accuse Chu Tianya of vain his self-esteem, holding the emperor hostage, working hard and hurting money, and doing whatever he wants. More vicious people compared him to Dong Zhuo in the late Eastern Han Dynasty who coerced the emperor to go west.
Chu Tianya was all about them farting. Although the words are terrifying, but now he has more important things to do, and he has no time to pay attention to these gossip.
Knowing that Tianzi Luan was about to arrive in Luoyang, Bai Xu and others were also busy. While repairing the official palace and temple, he arranged the welcome of the car. Martial law was imposed day and night in Luoyang City, and all those who committed crimes against the wind and committed adultery were all unlucky.
Hangzhou was a little nervous. Emperor Zhao Ji and King Kang Zhao Gou, who had just "fled" here, heard that Chu Tianya had taken the official family hostage and moved west to Luoyang, and they all shouted in their hearts that it was not good - they knew what others couldn't figure out. At that time, their father and son "absconded with money" and took away most of the imperial court, first, they wanted to escape from Chu Tianya's control, and more importantly, they wanted to embarrass him, making it difficult for him to take charge of the court.
Now that the entire court of the Great Song Dynasty was carried to Luoyang by Chu Tianya, where the scenery was rich and beautiful, and the environment was incomparably stable, and the big hole dug by the Zhao family and his son for Chu Tianya was easily filled.
What made the Zhao family even more nervous was that since Chu Tianya had filled in this big hole, he must have hated the person who dug the pit in his heart. He dared to blackmail the emperor to move the capital, which proves that there is nothing he can't do - when will he attack us?
……
Facing an internal thief who devoured the main army of the 300,000 Jin Kingdom alive, the panic in the hearts of the Zhao father and son was incomprehensible to others. Some of the ministers, generals and sergeants who crossed south with them may be their henchmen, but more people don't want to lose their former glory and wealth, so they escaped with them - can you expect such a group of people to help fight against Chu Tianya's demon who eats people and doesn't spit out bones?
Chu Tianya went all the way west to Luoyang, far away in Hangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, but he was terrified. In a hurry, the emperor Zhao Ji couldn't care about face, he personally wrote a book to his son and the official family, expressed "congratulations" and "support" to the son of heaven Xixing, and praised Chu Tianya in the letter as the material for protecting the country and governing the country.
The face full of servility is better than the little eunuch who serves him.
Chu Tianya, who had just led the army into the realm of Henan Mansion, almost didn't laugh out of tears when he saw this twist. This matter quickly spread all over the world, and Zhao Ji became a big laughing stock - everyone moved away Zhao Song's foundation is tantamount to digging your family's ancestral grave, you don't have the slightest anger and sadness, and you are still there to wave flags and shout praises for the gravediggers.
To do this, Zhao Ji can be regarded as the best at home.
At the same time, people were very disappointed in the Southern Song Dynasty in Hangzhou, and they deeply despised Zhao Jizhi.
Emperor Taishang and Hangzhou, who had just made a little noise, were quickly erased from their attention. The eyes of the people of the Great Song Dynasty were all cast to the new "imperial capital". It moved from Kaifeng, which was surrounded by storms and winds, to Luoyang, where Guanshan was dangerous, and many people of the Great Song Dynasty obviously had a sense of security in their psychology.
Therefore, Chu Tianya's coercion of Emperor Xixing could originally be called a "reverse move", but now it is also recognized and accepted.
After several days of trekking, Chu Tianya and his party finally arrived in Luoyang. Most of the more than 100,000 troops who came with them were stationed in the wilderness, and some of them became the guards of the gates of Xijing. The forbidden army guarding the imperial city and the Luoyang palace were all Qingyun's old subordinates selected in advance by Bai Xu and Meng De, and the henchmen among the henchmen.
After temporarily settling down the Son of Heaven, Chu Tianya hurriedly returned to the palace home, and saw Xiao Linglong, who had a slightly bulging belly, and Queen Xiliao who accompanied her, Xiao Ta did not smoke.
There is also a three- or four-year-old child by Xiao Ta Buyan's side, which is the prince of Western Liao, the eldest son of Xiao Ta Buyan and Yelu Dashi, who has just been sent to Luoyang.
The husband and wife are naturally happy to reunite when they say goodbye. Xiao Ta took his son to the side courtyard to rest very interestingly, and did not dare to bother at all.
"Tianya, do you want to blame me for taking her into the palace to live again?" Xiao Linglong asked cautiously.
Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "What you want to do, you have your reasons." All this time, have I stopped you from doing anything? ”
"You're going to spoil me like that." Xiao Linglong smiled contentedly.
"If you can get used to it, you won't be Xiao Linglong." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "There are many spoiled women in this world, but you are the only one who will always have your own principles and bottom line." Many times, I feel that you are a husband and I am a lady. ”
"Hey, hey!" Xiao Linglong was amused, "Seriously, do you mind?" ”
"Mind." Chu Tianya said, "Anyway, she is hostile to me. You're pregnant, and if something bad happens to her, you can't prevent it. ”
"Then according to you, I'd better ask her to live out......"
"No need." Chu Tianya smiled, "Since you dare to let her live back, you naturally have your confidence and reason." I believe you. ”
Xiao Linglong smiled, "Thank you!" ”
"Thank me for what?" Chu Tianya asked with a smile.
"Thank you, you have always been able to trust me so much, and you can tolerate my willfulness like this." Xiao Linglong said, "Actually, I know that I have never been a worry-free woman; It's hard to love me and be my man. But all the while, you've done a great job. You have given me a lot, endured a lot, and sacrificed a lot. Thank you, Tianya ......."
"We don't have to be so polite before, right?" Chu Tianya smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few days, are you alienated from me?" ”
"Not really!" Xiao Linglong's face turned a little red, "I'm just...... Really, I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart! ”
……
While the couple were chatting, Uncle He came with a cane and shouted to the young master from afar.
Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong walked over and said together, "The old man looks good today, is he in good spirits on happy occasions?" ”
"The young master is home, it is a great joy." He Bo smiled and said, "Of course, there is another piece of good news, do you want to hear it?" ”
"Don't sell it, old man, let's talk about it!" Xiao Linglong said coquettishly, "You just like to be funny!" ”
He Bo smiled: "I also just heard it from Bai Xu. It was said that Yan Zonghan had sent an envoy across the river, and that it was the batch of war horses, gold, silver, grain and grass that the young master had extorted before, and they had already prepared them. Asking when it will be sent to us? ”
"Hey, when did Wanyan Zonghan become so well-behaved?" Xiao Linglong wondered.
"He is anxious for us to release Zongwang so that he can go back to the business as soon as possible." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "They must have known about my companionship with Emperor Xixing. So as soon as I arrived in Luoyang, they sent an envoy to contact me. Obviously, they are urging us to do our best to hold peace talks. ”
"Young master, why do I feel a little tired of this?" He Bo said, "I don't have any evidence, but this kind of practice is not the style of a generation of heroes and heroes to complete Yan Zonghan!" ”
"Haha!" Chu Tianya smiled, "Old man, you, a thousand-year-old fox, have smelled something strange again, right?" ”
"Wanyan Zonghan is a robber, but he hurriedly wants to pile things into other people's arms." Uncle He said seriously, "Young Master, we are also robbers, this is obviously not normal!" - Well, if things are abnormal, there must be demons! ”
"Giggles!" Xiao Linglong laughed, "Old man, old robber!" Wanyan Zonghan, this little robber, is definitely going to show his feet in front of you! ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it yet." There were many people who were open to the Quartet, and Chu Tianya stopped the topic at the right time and said, "Why don't I go back to the mansion and be quiet, and don't discuss such political and military affairs first--old man, you send a few people to invite Seventh Brother and Bai Xu." In the evening we got together for a couple of drinks. ”
"Okay, okay." Uncle He agreed with a smile, walked on crutches, and said as he walked, "Young master, the doctor has told me, the county lord should only recuperate in the near future, and should not be moved." Remember to sleep in separate rooms at night, remember, remember! ”
Xiao Linglong's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, "This is not ashamed!" ”
Chu Tianya smiled, "Shouldn't you have been used to it for a long time?" ”
"Phew! You two are really a virtuous person! Xiao Linglong smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, Tianya, do you remember the set of marksmanship that the old man taught us when we were in Taiyuan?" ”
"Well, it was named the Chu family gun by the old man, of course I remember-what's wrong?" Chu Tianya asked.
Xiao Linglong said: "Then do you remember that I once created a set of 'Yaksha Marksmanship' based on this set of marksmanship to teach the female soldiers under my command? ”
"What's the matter, you just say it!"
"That's right." Xiao Linglong said, "Yang Zaixing saw a few female soldiers practicing this kind of marksmanship by chance, and suddenly became interested, so he asked someone to inquire." I inquired and inquired, and I found out that I was here. I couldn't deceive him, so I had to tell him that this set of marksmanship was a 'Chu family gun'. Yang Zaixing left a message saying that he would wait for the lord to return to Luoyang to ask for advice in person and see the essence and mystery of this set of marksmanship. ”
"With me?" Chu Tianya suddenly cried and laughed, "Forget it, you have practiced well, but now you are pregnant; Well, I'm not even a half-tone! ”
"He won't dare to compete with you, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Linglong said with a smile, "But I can see that he is quite interested in the Chu family gun, and he wants to see and learn it." He even said that there are a few tricks in the Yaksha marksmanship, which are even more exquisite than his ancestral Yang family gun! ”
"Oh?" Chu Tianya couldn't help but be stunned, "Yang Zaixing is a martial idiot, and he is a big expert. It was amazing that he could say such a thing. I seem to remember that when the old man taught us this set of marksmanship, he once said that he learned this set of marksmanship secretly, and now it has been lost. I don't remember what he said, but I have a distinct impression that he once boasted unashamedly that the 'Chu family gun' is the world's first marksmanship, and I don't know how many times stronger than the Yang family gun. ”
"Yes, I remember." Xiao Linglong said, "Although the old man likes to be humorous and often brags, he doesn't seem to be bragging about this set of marksmanship." Tianya, since the Chu family gun is so powerful, should we teach it so that it can be carried forward? ”
Chu Tianya glanced at the distance, and Uncle He had already walked away, so he chuckled and said, "The old man has told him a thousand times, saying that only the Chu family's guns are allowed to be passed on to the descendants of the Chu family." He said that this set of marksmanship is too fierce, and if the selection of gangsters is not strict and misinformation about bandits, it will be a great disaster! ”
"You believe it?"
"Faith."
"That's not going to be passed on?"
"Biography!"
Xiao Linglong couldn't cry or laugh, "What do you mean?" ”
Chu Tianya said with a smile: "The kitchen knife is used in the kitchen, and some people use it to cut people and kill people; Arsenic can be used as medicine, and it has also poisoned many people. There is no good or evil in the thing itself, it depends on the mind of the person who uses it. A good marksmanship should be used to the fullest, and what people do with it is another matter. Of course, it is necessary to strictly control the objects of teaching, and loyal and brave people like Yang Zaixing can definitely be passed on. When you meet the right person later, you can also teach. I even thought about opening a 'Bow Horse Disciple Institute' in Luoyang to train a group of military talents. From Wen Taowu to guns, sticks, arrows, and halberds, learn them one by one. After becoming a talent, he will be used by the country -- my set of marksmanship can completely teach them the best among them who have both ability and political integrity! ”
"Tianya, you know what?" Xiao Linglong suddenly changed her words and said with a smile, "It can be seen from the marksmanship that you are a person who does great things." Your achievements today have a great relationship with your open-mindedness and long-term vision...... As a woman, being able to marry a man like you is the greatest satisfaction! ”
Chu Tianya slapped his face, "You're right - we're going to have a wedding right away!" ”
