Chapter 29: Announcing to the World
After a long time, Zhao Ji sighed and said loudly: "When the country is in trouble, we are the king, but we have not fulfilled our duty, causing the mountains and rivers to be broken, the people to be slaughtered, the homeland to be lost, and even humiliating the emperor, the crime is unforgivable." Zhao Ji and his son Zhao Huan announced their abdication on the same day, and since then they have retired and will not enter the temple. King Kang Zhao Gou, loyal and brave, is really the choice of the king, and the legend is located in King Kang Zhao Gou, choose Ji to ascend the throne, and announce it to the world! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked, fell to their knees, and shouted, "Long live! Hooray! ”
Zhao Ji seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, and after saying this, he gasped wildly, Zhao Huan hurriedly leaned over and patted his back gently, and he slowly calmed down, but he turned a deaf ear to the sound of the mountain below and closed his eyes.
Zhao Huan turned to everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, my father and son have suffered great shame, and they have no shame to see the people of the Central Plains again, and they are even more ashamed of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, please fulfill the name of my father and son!" After speaking, he bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty!" The audience was full of sorrows, and suddenly there was a gloomy mist.
Zhao Huan no longer paid attention to everyone, helped Zhao Ji up, staggered off the stage, and went back to the handsome tent.
Wan Linggen and Zhao Ling'er got up and pulled up Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui, who were still in tears, "Two adults, ...... in the future I'm afraid it's going to be hard. ”
Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui stopped their grief, looked up to the sky and sighed: "The matter has come to this, we can only obey the will of the two emperors." Qin Hui took Wan Linggen's hand and said: "Attached to Ma Ye, the emperor has already informed us about the golden book and iron coupons, after Brother Ruoshui and I returned to the city, we immediately went to Shandong to proclaim the decree, our family members are in Kaifeng City, and please attach Ma Ye to take care of it." ”
Wan Linggen shook the hands of the two, "You two rest assured, with my Wan Linggen here, they will definitely not be wronged." ”
"Good!" Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui got this promise, and finally let go of the worries in their hearts, and after a few simple words with him, they entered the handsome tent to find the two emperors.
Wan Linggen turned around, only to find that except for those princes and nobles, the others were still kneeling there, and even Uncle Zhang didn't get up at night.
"Lao Zhang, the emperor is gone, what are you still kneeling here?" Wan Linggen pulled Uncle Zhang Ye, who knew that Uncle Zhang grabbed his hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for attaching Ma Ye!" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone behind him echoed loudly: "Thank you for attaching Ma Ye!" ”
Wan Linggen was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the matter of the golden book and iron coupons, and said with a whole face: "Brothers, it is indeed a great honor to be able to leave a name on the Danshu, but it is also a promise and a responsibility. We must do it, and we will definitely be able to do it, if we don't get rid of it, we will not dismantle it! ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "If you don't get rid of Hulu, you swear not to dismantle your armor!" ”
"If you don't get rid of Hu Lu, you swear not to dismantle your armor!"
This voice is strong and heroic, and it soars into the sky.
Wan Linggen first sent a team of 1,000 people back to Kaifeng City, and there was that "King of Chu" Zhang Bangchang in the city, he didn't know what that guy would do, so it was safer to investigate first. The others then packed up their things and began to return to the city, but since the second emperor of Huiqin announced his abdication, he hid in a small sedan car and refused to take a step, let alone see anyone.
It was relatively easy to return to the city, and Wan Linggen and Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, Li Ruoshui and others walked side by side. He didn't care about others, but Qin Hui, the future prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty next to him, surprised him, and others occasionally chatted a few words, only he frowned and didn't say a word.
"Lord Qin, do you have something on your mind?" Wan Linggen asked casually.
"If you don't see the outside world, call me Brother Qin." Qin Hui smiled, looking a little lonely.
"Okay, then don't open your mouth and close your mouth to Ma Ye." Wan Linggen smiled: "Brother Qin, you are not a relative of the emperor, why were you also taken captive by the Jin people?" ”
Qin Hui snorted and said, "Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng actually wants to set up a different surname as the king of Chu, and this person is still Zhang Bangchang, how can this be done?" If you want to stand, you have to set up the Zhao family! I went to the Jin camp to argue with the book, but they arrested me and met Brother Ruoshui. ”
Wan Linggen looked at Li Ruoshui, "Is Brother Li the same?" ”
Li Ruoshui smiled bitterly: "I'm different. On the same day, he and the two emperors went to Jinying to negotiate peace, and Wanyan Zonghan actually asked the second emperor to take off his dragon robe, and I fought hard to provoke Wanyan Zonghan to want to kill me several times, and then he made a statement to solicit me, but I refused. Later, they sent me to Taiyuan Mansion, this time to let me go to Yanyun with those hostages. ”
Wan Linggen nodded, stared ahead, and said no more. Suddenly, his expression changed, he raised his hand to restrain the horse's reins, and frowned: "There is someone ahead!" ”
Seeing him like this, Uncle Zhang asked nervously, "Who is it?" ”
Wan Linggen shook his head, "I don't know who it is, there are about a few thousand people, and the leader is an old man." ”
Several people looked forward desperately, but they couldn't see anything, and they couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
Wan Linggen looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "There seems to be a sect character on that big flag. ”
Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Do you see that there is a tiger head sign on his military flag?" ”
Wan Linggen looked at it carefully again, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Uncle Zhang and the others were overjoyed: "It's the old man who has arrived!" ”
"Old man?" Seeing that they were so excited, Wan Linggen asked puzzledly, "Who is the old man?" ”
Uncle Zhang laughed and said: "Attached to the horse, the old man is the famous old general of Zongzezong in our Great Song Dynasty!" ”
Qin Hui finally had a smile on his face, "Since the old man is here, does that mean that King Kang is not far away?" ”
Li Ruoshui said with a smile: "Don't worry, King Kang is an extremely cautious person, it is estimated that he asked the old man to come over to explore the truth." ”
For Zong Ze, Wan Linggen only heard a little, and he didn't study the history of the Song Dynasty seriously at that time, and he was impressed by a few literati, that is, the Qin Hui and Yue Fei, who had not yet met, and a few other people, but the impression that this Qin Hui gave him completely subverted the previous inherent ideas, and I don't know what this old general Zong Ze would be like. Thinking like this, there is a faint expectation in my heart.
Everyone stood quietly for a long time, but there was no movement, Li Ruoshui was a little breathless, "Brother Wan, are you mistaken, according to the visual distance, you should be able to see the army now?" ”
Wan Linggen did not speak.
At this moment, two people ran back in front of them, and they were the scouts who had been sent out. The two of them came to the front, turned over and dismounted, and said: "Big marshal, a large group of people and horses were found five miles ahead, and it was the old general Zongze who arrived." ”
Everyone was taken aback, and looked at Wan Linggen with an unbelievable expression, Wuli? Can a man's eye see a battle flag five miles away?
Wan Linggen turned sideways and asked, "Lao Zhang, according to your rules, should we wait for him here, or go over to see him?" ”
Uncle Zhang had just recovered from the shock, thought for a moment and said, "We can't go over to see the old general," he said, looking back at the sedan chairs that were being tightly guarded, "It's not in line with the courtesy." He turned back to the two tanma and instructed: "You go again, inform the old general Zong, just say that the second emperor is here, let him come and meet." ”
The probe horse answered, got up on his horse, and galloped away.
Qin Hui kept looking at Wan Linggen, "Brother Wan, you ...... Are you really the god of thunder? ”
Wan Linggen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where do you think I look like a fairy? If I really have the magic power of the gods, let all those golden people go back to the outside of the gate, and never be allowed to step into the Central Plains for half a step, why bother to work so hard? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Li Ruoshui said: "Brother Wan really has divine eyes, can he see things five miles away?" ”
Wan Linggen smiled bitterly again, he didn't know how to explain his pair of super eyes to make them believe, even in the era in which he lived, it was difficult to win people's trust, let alone the present, which was nearly a thousand years away?
Uncle Zhang couldn't bear it when he saw him embarrassed at night, and said with a smile: "There are so many strange people in this world, but we haven't seen it." ”
Li Ruoshui sighed: "Why haven't you seen it?" Isn't that Guo Jing counted as one? ”
As soon as Guo Jing was mentioned, everyone's faces showed disdain, but Wan Linggen heard Guo Jing as Guo Jing, and suddenly said in surprise: "Guo Jing?" Could it be that there is such a person? ”
Qin Hui said with a smile: "Brother Wan heard it wrong, it's Guo Jing, not Guo Jing." ”
He was about to inquire about who it was, when smoke and dust were billowed not far away, hooves rumbled, and the earth seemed to tremble.
"The old general has arrived, let's greet him!" Uncle Zhang rushed out first, and several other people followed, but Wan Linggen stood still and did not move.
In the blink of an eye, a cavalry of about 2,000 men appeared in front of him, and the men on the horses were all brightly armored and solemn. Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, Li Ruoshui and others surrounded a tall old general and walked over in front of him.
Wan Linggen watched with his eyes, and saw that this person was one meter eight tall, although his beard and hair were white, but his eyes were blazing, his nose was straight and his mouth was wide, but his cheeks were collapsed, and he looked a little haggard. Even so, he still can't hide the domineering spirit that emanates from the inside out of his body.
The cavalry came to the front and stopped two meters away, Wan Linggen hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stood respectfully beside him.
Zong Ze and the others also turned over and dismounted, his tiger eyes glanced at Wan Linggen, who was standing on his side, and asked in a loud voice, "Where is the second emperor?" ”
Zhang Shuye pointed to a small sedan chair inside, "General, the two emperors are there." ”
Zong Ze strode forward, separated everyone and came to the sedan chair to turn over and kneel, and said in a loud voice: "Old minister Zong Ze, the escort is late, please the emperor, the emperor will condemn!" ”
There was silence in the car.
Zong Ze was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and saw that everyone was silent, so he glared at Qin Hui and asked, "Are the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor really here?" ”
Without waiting for Qin Hui to answer, a tired voice came from inside the sedan chair: "General Zong, Emperor Taishang and I have drawn up an abdication letter, and your new master is King Kang Zhao Gou." It's better if you're here, and tell the world with a few of them. ”
