Five-zero-nine, Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou!
At this time, the traffic in the eastern part of the Great Song Dynasty was very convenient, Mo said that Xuzhou to Jingshi, that is, Xuzhou to Jiangnan, the traffic was also extremely fast, the news of Yanjing's victory and the capture of the enemy chieftain arrived in Xuzhou, and it spread to Zhenjiang the next day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"You don't know, I was in Xuzhou yesterday, and firecrackers were set off everywhere, and the sound was continuous, all night long! The people of Xuzhou City, but they are always happy, some of them even petitioned the General Chamber of Commerce, asking that the Tartar Emperor be escorted to Xuzhou, and displayed it for a fee, they are willing to spend dozens of dollars, just to see the Tartar Emperor, if they can still smash a rotten egg to the Tartar Emperor, they are willing to add money! ”
"Poof, some people say that if they can sleep with the women of the Tartar Emperor, they are willing to pay a hundred silver yuan!"
Although Zhenjiang is not Jinling, it is also a key point of communication, and there are many business travelers from the south to the north, and the Qinglou wine shop is naturally developed. In a painting boat near the shore, there was a loud laughter and discussion from the crowd, and this sound passed through the curtain and spread to another painting boat next to it.
Zhao Ji is in this painting boat, on his side, on one side is Liang Shicheng, on the other side is the famous prostitute Pan Xiaoxiao, he originally had a leisurely face, holding a wine glass and drinking slowly, while Pan Xiaoxiao was plucking the orchestra.
Hearing the sound of discussion, Zhao Ji waved his hand, Pan Xiaoxiao was understanding, and immediately stopped.
"Does Liang Gong know this news?" Zhao Ji raised his eyes and looked at Liang Shicheng.
At this time, Liang Shicheng looked a little haggard.
On the issue of the succession of the crown prince Zhao Huan, he also made a contribution, and originally thought that with this credit, he would be favored in front of the new monarch, at least to ensure a certain amount of power.
How do you know that after Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne, he directly sent someone to tell him: "The emperor's confidants cannot be separated, please follow the emperor and drive Zhenjiang." ”
In short, it is to send him and Zhao Ji out of the capital together.
This made Liang Shicheng realize that he seemed to have made a wrong choice, and Zhao Huan, who usually looks honest and steady, is actually a ruthless person. It's just that at this time, the wood is already in the boat, and it is too late for him to change the court, and the only choice is to catch up with Zhao Ji who went out of Beijing as Zhao Huan said, and go to Jiangnan with him.
Fortunately, Zhao Ji missed the old love and didn't complain about him, on the contrary, he was very happy.
They first arrived in Xuzhou, where they stayed for several days, and then set off to Zhenjiang. According to the plan, I was originally going to Jinling, and then Suzhou and Hangzhou went around. But after arriving in Zhenjiang, Zhao Ji changed his mind for some reason and stayed here and was unwilling to cross the river.
So Pan Xiaoxiao, a famous prostitute in Jinling, was brought from Jinling and sent to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji is ambitious, and naturally he does not pick white or white for this wildflower, and after a few days, the honey is mixed with oil, but Pan Xiaoxiao still does not know Zhao Ji's true identity, and only knows that his bold benevolent father is a wealthy businessman from Beijing.
But playing and playing, Zhao Ji still didn't have much joy.
Even when he learned the news of Yanjing's victory, he was not very happy.
Hearing Zhao Ji ask, Liang Shicheng smiled bitterly: "I just got the news here, and I haven't had time to tell the big officials." ”
"Where's the news?" Zhao Ji asked.
"Donghai Chamber of Commerce, I still have a name in the Chamber of Commerce, and I always have a copy of the express in the Chamber of Commerce."
Zhao Ji was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said for a while: "It's really a person who walks to tea, you're okay, Zhou ...... Jiguo Gong is still worried about you and gives you a piece of news, but I, even my son doesn't take me to heart, and he won't pass any news to me. ”
This is the source of Zhao Ji's depression.
Even if he is not a diligent and responsible emperor, after holding power for 20 years, his hands are suddenly as empty as a white body, and Zhao Ji inevitably has some pimples in his heart. It's just that Zhao Huan's suspicion is stronger than him, and he doesn't even send anyone to send him the palace newspaper, so Zhao Ji is now blind, he can't hear anything and can't look at anything.
Compared with Liang Shicheng, he was even more depressed.
Liang Shicheng has no effect on Zhou Quan, but Zhou Quan not only still makes him famous in the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, but also sends him a copy of the high-level express reports within the Chamber of Commerce. In Zhao Ji's opinion, Zhou Quan is much more gracious and righteous than his son Zhao Huan!
"This ...... Dalang is very busy now, and he may have forgotten about it. ”
"Busy? I'm afraid that he is busy and has been busy with today's good books! Zhao Ji shook his head: "Everyone in the world says that I prefer Kai'er because Kai'er is like me, but I don't know it...... Da Lang's temperament can be a pedant, and it is difficult to hold power. ”
Liang Shicheng was speechless, disapproving.
"He believes too much that Geng Nanzhong and his gang of Confucians, who do not know the times, will suffer from it sooner or later, I will send a letter to Beijing, and strive to give it to him as soon as possible, and ask him to calm down, not to act rashly, especially not to send troops from Beijing, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Jin. Now he doesn't do anything, he has Jiguo Gong to do everything well for him, I'm afraid, he still wants to compare with Jiguo Gong......"
Zhao Ji said this, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
It was only after he got out of that position that he was able to think things more thoroughly.
My letter, Mo said, may not be able to deliver it to Zhao Huan in time, even if it is delivered, with Zhao Huan's temperament, how can he listen to him, I am afraid that he will be more afraid of him, for fear that he will not let go of his power and want to reset.
Liang Shicheng heard that his identity had been revealed in his words, although Pan Xiaoxiao was sent to another room in the painting boat, but after all, the place was close, and it was inevitable that he would hear it, so he coughed lightly.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just talking about it......"
He just talked casually, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a mess outside, and then the sound of the alarm gong sounded.
Zhao Ji was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
"Could it be that the news came that the people here beat the gong to celebrate the victory?" Liang Shi became enlightened.
"This is not Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou are looking for Zhou Quan, but the hearts of the people here are not, I think something is going on, you send someone to inquire......"
Before Liang Shicheng moved, he heard Pan Xiaoxiao screaming next door, and then Pan Xiaoxiao trotted over.
Zhao Ji naturally had guards, but the guards got the signal and didn't stop the woman.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor!" Pan Xiaoxiao gasped and knelt directly in front of Zhao Ji, she was also a shrewd woman, she had already guessed the identity of this Zhao official, the situation was urgent at this time, and she no longer concealed it: "Please also ask the emperor to leave Zhenjiang quickly...... Manichaeism has rebelled in Jiangnan, has gone down to Suzhou, and is besieging Hangzhou! ”
Zhao Ji stood up stiffly, not caring about the leakage of his identity: "Manichaeism, reversed?" ”
He remembered that a long time ago, Zhou Quan had warned him that Manichaeism had infiltrated Jiangnan very strongly, and he should be careful. Even Zhu Mian's death is related to this incident, and the little military attache killed by Zhu Mian has written many times about Manichaeism, so he violated Zhu Mian.
"Don't worry, you can make it clear." Liang Shi became enlightened.
"Manichaean leader Fang La, claiming to be a holy father, raised an incident in the south of the Yangtze River, the believers from all over the country responded to the wind, and the spread was extremely fast, the traitor was close to Jinling, Fang Cainu got the news, and immediately came to the court, Jinling is not well armed, it will be difficult to guard, at that time, the thieves crossed the Yangtze River north, and Zhenjiang was in danger!"
Pan Xiaoxiaohua's face was pale, she wanted Zhao Ji to quickly take her to escape, and it was best to escape back to Jingshi.
Zhao Ji clenched his fists and slammed on the case for a while: "The ministers misunderstood me, and the ministers misunderstood the country!" ”
What Zhou Quan had warned about a long time ago, and even the local military attache had exposed it in a book, but it didn't attract attention!
Liang Shicheng was happy: "The emperor doesn't have to be angry, the thieves must have heard that the Jingshi was besieged and Sichuan Zhong Xiang conspired against him. Jiguo Gong is Ke Yanjing, and when he turns around, he will encircle and annihilate the other two main forces of the Jin people under Bianjing City, and at that time, whether it is Jiguo Gong's tiger ben or the elite of the imperial court, he can draw his hand to the south and exterminate Zhong and Fang Eryi! ”
Zhao Ji's clenched fists slowly loosened in his words, and then nodded heavily: "You are right, the Duke of Jiguo is here, and the Duke of Jiguo is here...... If I am still on the throne, I should be crowned the king of Jinan County at this time, alas, Cai Jing, the old traitor, runs fast, otherwise the princess and the prince of Jiguo will marry, and I will have no worries. ”
He really hated Cai Jing in his heart, and he got the news at first that Cai Jing ran to Yingtianfu, but when he passed through Yingtianfu, he learned that Cai Jing went to Haizhou, and Zhao Ji sent someone to Haizhou to summon Cai Jing when he stayed in Xuzhou, but Cai Jing refused to come to see him on the grounds of old age and physical illness.
Pan Xiaoxiao listened to their conversation and pinned all her hopes on that Jiguo Gong, and her wonderful eyes flashed unconsciously.
Of course, she had heard of Zhou Quan's name, and at this time, she had a yearning for this legendary figure.
Like her, there are more and more admirers of Zhou Quan. But Zhou Quan himself is anxious at the moment.
"Are you sure that this news is correct, Wu Qi bought back to Junxiangzhou, and he wants to go to Tangyin to capture Yue Fei's family?"
He stared at Wang Qinian in front of him, Wang Qinian nodded: "I have confirmed this news, it is indeed correct, Wu Qimai personally led 20,000 elite soldiers and returned to Xiangzhou, the purpose is Yue Fei's family!" ”
"Damn, who leaked the news of Yue Fei's family?" Zhou Quan cursed in his mouth, and then rushed to the map.
He is very familiar with Yue Fei, if his family is really captured by Wu Qimai, especially if Yue Fei's mother falls into the hands of Wu Qimai, Yue Fei will be burdened by this matter.
Of course, Yue Fei would not betray, but after this incident, Yue Fei must have a deep burden in his heart, and he would even do something to thank his mother with death.
Thinking of this, Zhou Quan was even more irritable in his heart, he should have insisted more and left Yue Fei's mother's family on Jeju Island.
"Ordered Han Shizhong, ordered him to immediately divide his troops and go to Xiangzhou, block Wu Qimai, and ...... Our whole army is out of camp and ready to rush to Tangyin! ”
After studying the map for a while, Zhou Quan made a decision.
This decision made him give up spying on the Jin people on the outskirts of Bianjing, and instead crossed the Yellow River north to join Han Shizhong's troops.
"Xiangshu!"
At the same time as Zhou Quan gave the order, Wu Qimai raised his head to look north, looked at a cloud, and grinned at the corner of his mouth.
After Ah Gu Da, he should inherit the throne of Dajin, and Ah Gu Da was captured by Yue Fei, so he used Yue Fei's mother to prove that he was more powerful than Ah Gu Da! (To be continued.) )
