Chapter 28: The Golden Book and the Iron Coupon
Zhao Ji sighed, tears appeared in his eyes, and he said sadly: "I can't protect my wife and children, I can't be a husband in vain, I can't be a father in vain, I can't protect my people, and I can't be a king in vain!" After saying that, I finally couldn't hold back anymore, and tears flowed down my eyes. Everyone below was sad and weeping, and even Wan Linggen felt a dullness in his chest and a dry throat.
He held Zhao Ling'er's hand tightly, and stopped his sad voice: "As the lord of the Great Song Dynasty, he is so persecuted, what face do you have to see your ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs!" ”
"Your Majesty!" The people below also came from sorrow and wept loudly.
Li Ruoshui and Qin Hui knelt and crawled forward, one of them hugged one of Zhao Huan's legs, and cried: "Your Majesty, the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord is humiliated by the death of the ministers, please give me the capital crime!" ”
Zhao Huan leaned over and patted the two of them on the back, and said in a harmonious voice: "The so-called catastrophe is coming, and the two Qing families will not abandon the old master until death, they are already loyal, benevolent and righteous, what is the crime?" ”
"Your Majesty!" Qin Hui cried: "The minister was careless for a while, and almost put the emperor and the emperor to death, the minister ...... Don't give up your life! ”
Zhao Huan stretched out his hand and pulled up the two of them: "Qing and others are brave and loyal, and heaven and earth can learn from them, but the incompetence of the people you assist has caused this crisis......"
"Your Majesty!" When the two of them heard the words, they were about to kneel down again, but they were stopped by Zhao Huan, and Li Ruoshui said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty! The emperor said this, where is the position of the ministers? ”
Zhao Huan sighed: "The two Qing families, I have a word to tell, you must keep it in mind." ”
"Please show the emperor!" Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui knelt respectfully at his feet.
Zhao Huan glanced back at his father Zhao Ji, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and said in a trembling voice, "For today's plan, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and we should focus on peace, otherwise my Han family may be in danger of extinction!" "When it came to that, I was speechless.
Qin Hui raised his head and said, "Your Majesty! Why did the emperor say this! He turned around and pointed to Wan Linggen, who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has long heard that the people have heard that the attached horse master is the heavenly thunder god who came to save my Great Song Dynasty from fire and water, as long as the emperor gives the attached horse master the position of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and takes over the heroes of the world, we are willing to follow the attached horse master Jin Ge Iron Horse, step through the thousands of miles of Guanshan, and return my Han family to a peaceful and prosperous world!" ”
Wan Linggen kept breaking out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that this guy surnamed Qin, why did he bet all the treasures on him?
Zhao Huan smiled bitterly: "Qin Qing's words are bad! He looked at Wan Linggen, who was silent, and sighed: "Attached to the horse's wisdom and courage, I and the Emperor Taishang are both in our eyes, but after all, he is single, one city and one pool may be manageable, this world is so big, how can it be taken into account?" ”
Li Ruoshui was about to speak, but Zhao Huan raised his hand to stop him, and continued: "You should also know that the civil rebellion is not a day or two, those people hate the Jin people, but they hate our royal family even more!" ”
Everyone was silent.
At this time, Zhao Ji, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, and Zhao Huan hurriedly got up and said, "Father, do you have any orders?" ”
Zhao Ji opened his dim eyes and said, "Huan'er, you let them go outside to prepare." ”
"Yes!" Zhao Huan bowed in response, then turned around and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you go and call all the soldiers over and wait outside, I have something to say to the Emperor." ”
The crowd shouted a loud promise, got up and walked out.
"Attached horse, Ling'er, you stay!" Although Zhao Ji's voice was low, it was extremely clear in his ears.
Wan Linggen and Zhao Ling'er knelt down in front of the bed again and listened to the hadith.
Zhao Ji sat up straight, stared at the two of them for a long time, and slowly spoke: "I don't care if you are the thunder god in the sky or not, since it is the right time and you are the husband of my family Ling'er, then you have the responsibility to contribute to the Han family." ”
Wan Linggen knew that this sentence was for himself, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes...... Grandfather! ”
Zhao Ji heard him call "grandpa", his body trembled slightly, and he choked up: "Okay!" Good! Her eyes were already full of tears, "Ling'er, at this time of national disaster, Grandpa Huang and your father can't hold an official wedding ceremony for you, but your father and I will still comfort our ancestors and ancestors, and there are successors to my Zhao family!" ”
"Father!" Zhao Huan stood on one side, tears dripping down.
"Grandpa Xie Huang is complete!" Zhao Ling'er and Wan Linggen bowed their heads and bowed.
Zhao Ji gasped for a while, and said to Zhao Huan: "Huan'er, let's talk about the following words." ”
Zhao Huan said respectfully: "Yes, father!" He turned around and straightened up to face the two, and said in a deep voice: "Attached to the horse, are you willing to do your best for my Great Song Jiangshan and die?" ”
Wan Linggen was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Yes!" ”
Zhao Huan continued: "You swear with me: drive out the Tartars, never suffer in the future, protect my Han family for thousands of generations, and the country will be forever!" ”
Wan Linggen was stunned for a moment, didn't he just tell Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui to negotiate peace? Why did you change your tone when you came to him?
Zhao Huan looked directly at him and asked, "Attached to the horse, didn't you hear clearly?" ”
Wan Linggen hurriedly said: "I heard clearly." Drive out the Tartars, never suffer in the future, protect my Han family for thousands of generations, and the country will be forever! ”
Zhao Huan nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Later, I will give you a golden book and iron coupon with the Emperor Taishang, with this token, you and your Moxia Erlang will not be subject to any edict and control, and you will gallop within the territory of my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Wan Linggen was dumbfounded.
"Father! Grandpa! You guys...... You can't force him! Zhao Ling'er was full of tears and raised her head to protest.
Zhao Ji took a few breaths and sighed: "Ling'er, this is also a matter of no way, if the ability to attach the horse is limited and cannot complete the great task, it is also the destiny of heaven." He looked at Wan Linggen, who was stunned, "Attached to the horse, although you saved the emperor's grandfather and my father and me, but whether we can die well or not is all up to you." ”
Wan Linggen was suddenly under great pressure. Even so, he could still deeply feel the boundless hatred and the anger in the hearts of these two troubled monarchs. He gritted his teeth fiercely, raised his right hand and said solemnly: "I, Wan Linggen, hereby swear: I will never live up to the trust of the two Holy Emperors, otherwise the sky will thunder and thunder, and I will not die well!" After saying this, his heart suddenly moved, he was not afraid of thunder and thunder, but the words had been spoken, and he could not change them.
Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son nodded with satisfaction, and Zhao Huan said, "Later, you will draw up a list of your subordinates and write it into the golden book and iron coupons." You'll be left with three blanks to fill in later. ”
Wan Linggen and Zhao Ling'er kowtowed and thanked them. He didn't know how important this so-called golden book and iron coupon was to people today, but he simply thought that it was a letter of commitment or a cooperation agreement.
Zhao Huan said softly: "You guys go out and wait outside." Let Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui come in, and bring the golden leader over. ”
The two of them retreated, and the square outside the tent was already lined with his soldiers and the exiled princes and nobles.
Soon, Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui took Jin Wu Shuchi into the big tent, and after a long time, they walked out with different expressions, Jin Wu Shuchi nodded to Wan Linggen from afar, rode a fast horse, and whipped away.
Zhao Huan helped Zhao Ji out of the tent, his spirit was obviously much better, they came to the high platform temporarily erected in the square, everyone knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Long live!" ”
Zhao Huan helped Zhao Ji to sit on the main seat, he sat next to him, and after everyone was flattened, he said, "Where is Uncle Zhang?" ”
Uncle Zhang took a step forward and bowed in response: "Minister...... Uncle Zhang, the grass people, knocked to see the emperor at night, the emperor! ”
Zhao Huan looked at him and said loudly: "Decree: Zhang Shuye and his relatives and dependents will be removed from the military from now on and will never be renewed!" ”
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, not knowing what the intentions of this Emperor Qinzong were.
Uncle Zhang's body trembled slightly, and he leaned over and said, "The grass people take the order!" Then he got up and stepped aside.
Zhao Huan looked around and said in a loud voice, "Where is Liang Hongyu?" ”
Liang Hongyu knelt in front of the stage and said loudly: "The people's daughter Liang Hongyu sees the emperor, the emperor!" ”
Zhao Huan nodded and said: "Message: Liang Zuocheng's case involving Fang La is really a grievance, and Zhao Xue will be rehabilitated from now on, and the whole family will be released." Liang Hongyu is a heroine, and she is specially given to listen to the horse tent. ”
Liang Hongyu cried with joy when she heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "The people's daughter is the father of the family, thank you for the saint and Longen!" ”
Zhao Huan looked at Wan Linggen and said loudly: "Wan Linggen!" ”
Wan Linggen hurriedly walked a few steps and fell to his knees, "Wan Linggen is here!" ”
Zhao Huan said loudly: "Wan Linggen's character is valuable, and his martial arts are outstanding, so he will be given to Princess Roujia as a good couple, and tell the world!" ”
Zhao Ling'er got up and came to Wan Linggen's side, knelt down with him and said loudly: "Thank you, Father!" ”
Zhao Huan continued: "On the occasion of the great calamity of the country, the horse carried the power of the thunder god and descended on the Great Song Dynasty to save the people from fire and water. Given the iron coupon attached to the Ma Jinshu, hereditary replacement, and the glory of the country! ”
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and then Zhao Huan's voice came: "All the warriors, who can serve the country under the attached horse, are all given Danshu to leave their names, hereditary replacement, and glory with the country!" ”
There was another commotion in the crowd.
"Uncle Zhang!" Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting: "Long live!" "It's already tears.
"Zhang Bofen!"
"Zhang Zhongxiong!"
"Liang Hongyu!"
"Zhang Fengnian!"
"Li Qilin!"
“……”
Every time I thought of someone, one of them rolled over and fell to the ground, very excited.
It wasn't until the last person finished reading that all the black-clothed soldiers on the field fell to their knees, and low cries came intermittently from their mouths.
Zhao Huan insisted on reading everyone's name, he was already sweating on his forehead, he put down the list, took a breath and said: "There are still three coupons left blank for the iron coupons, and when there are brave warriors to join in the future, the attached horse will personally renew them." ”
Wan Linggen said in a loud voice: "Thank you! ”
Zhao Huan said in a harmonious voice: "Attached to the horse, you must not forget the oath on the Dan book, you must be good and act, and live up to the trust of the world!" ”
Wan Linggen kowtowed heavily to the ground: "Yes! ”
"Okay, you step aside, the Emperor has something important to announce." After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he got up and stood on his side, Zhao Ji raised his head to look at the sky, tears glistening in his eyes, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
