Chapter 499: I Can Finally Go Home
Zhao Yan stood bored in front of the south gate of Xingqing Mansion, looking at the direction of the official road in front of him from time to time, but except for the occasional pedestrian on the official road, there was no sign of the arrival of a large army, which made him can't help but slander in his heart, if he knew this, he might as well sleep in bed for a while.
Yesterday it was dark, but there was a horse galloping into the city, and then reported the news that Zhao Wei would rush to Xingqing Mansion today, but early this morning, Yang Wenguang took the generals in the city to find Zhao Yan, hoping that he would lead the team to meet Zhao Yan, originally Zhao Yan didn't want to go so early, but it was not good to let Yang Wenguang wait for a long time, so he had to go out of the city in advance, but now it was almost noon, but he didn't see Zhao Yan's figure.
Seeing that it was about to be noon, Zhao Yanzheng wanted to ask Yang Wenguang and a few other veterans to go back with him, and it would not be too late to come back after lunch, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the official road, and then rode over and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be here immediately!" ā
Now hearing that Zhao Yan will arrive soon, Zhao Yan also dispelled the idea of eating, and stood there waiting for Zhao Ji's arrival, but this time he waited for less than a quarter of an hour, and heard the sound of dense horses' hooves coming from the official road, and then saw a team coming from the official road, and when the other party came to the city gate, he saw a young man on a horse galloping out of the team, which was the prince of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Big brother, you're finally here, if you don't come again, I'll have to go back for lunch!" Seeing Zhao Ji coming, Zhao Yan stepped forward to greet him, and Yang Wenguang and others behind him also stepped forward to salute.
"With your lazy character, you can think of coming to greet me, you don't need to ask to know, it must be General Yang who pulled you here!" Zhao Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhao Yan, and then explained the reason why Zhao Yan came to greet him. He knew his younger brother very well, and Zhao Yan just smiled when he heard this, and he didn't defend himself.
Next, Zhao Yan exchanged a few words with Yang Wenguang and others, and then entered the city under the stars and the moon, but Zhao Yan inadvertently glanced at the team brought by Zhao Xu, and saw a luxurious and comfortable carriage in the middle of the team, which made him frown. Then there was a helpless wry smile.
Originally, it was normal for a carriage to appear in Zhao Yan's team, after all, Zhao Ji definitely needed to bring a lot of things when he came this time, such as some rewards for the soldiers, etc., but the luxury carriage that Zhao Yan saw was obviously for people to ride, and the status was definitely not low, with Zhao Ji's temperament, he must have ridden with ordinary soldiers along the way, so that the people in the carriage were easy to guess. Even Zhao Yan judged almost immediately that the person in the carriage should be that Hua Zhi, but he didn't expect Zhao Ji to take her with him when he came to Xingqing Mansion, it seems that his feelings for Hua Zhi are getting deeper and deeper.
At that moment, Zhao Yan and Zhao Ji entered the city of Xingqing Mansion together, and then came all the way to the palace gate of the Xixia Palace. Later, after Yang Wenguang entered the city, he immediately asked people to seal the palace. After all, the palace is not something that ordinary people can enter, even if it is the palace of an enemy country, this is related to the dignity of the emperor, and even after Zhao Yan entered the city, he also did not go to the palace, mainly to avoid some things.
However, Zhao Yan avoided some things. But Zhao Ji doesn't need to shy away from it, after all, as the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, even if he lives in the palace of Western Xia, he can also say the past in terms of etiquette, which is not comparable to Zhao Yan, the king of the county. Of course, Zhao Yan didn't go to the palace because he was afraid that Zhao Shu or Zhao Ji would think too much, but mainly because he was worried that if this matter got out, it would make those officials in the court catch him and hold on to him, these people are not easy to mess with, let alone him, the king of the county, even if Zhao Ji provokes them, they will also end up in a commotion.
"Big brother, the people in the palace have been driven out, and General Yang also asked people to roughly count the things in the palace, and then all of them were sealed, just waiting for you to count them!" Zhao Yan pointed to the palace gate and said to Zhao Ji next to him with a smile.
"Haha, I'm also very curious about this palace in Western Xia, let's go in and have a look, and find a place to live by the way!" Zhao Ji also laughed and said at the moment, the only place in Xingqing Mansion that is suitable for him, the prince, to live, is this palace.
At that moment, Zhao Ji asked people to open the palace gate, and then the guards on both sides poured in to open the way for them, Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan and others entered the palace, but when they entered the palace, they were disappointed to find that the entire Xixia Palace was actually built after the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the layout was exactly the same, but there were differences in the system of some palaces.
"Big brother, these Xixia people are really lazy, they even directly imitated a palace, I don't think you should just go to your East Palace." Zhao Yan was very disappointed at this time, he was more familiar with the palace of the Great Song Dynasty than anyone else, and now the palace of Western Xia was almost no different from the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, and he could even touch it with his eyes closed.
"Hehe, I've already asked people to go to the East Palace to clean up, but before that, let's go to the place where Li Liangzuo lives to have a look, after all, it's not easy to come to the Xixia Palace, it's a pity not to visit." At this time, Zhao Ji mentioned yƬ again.
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately understood, although Li Liangzuo has become a prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty, but the so-called emperor cannot be disgraced, and the place where he lives is not something that ordinary people can visit, among these people around, I am afraid that only he and Zhao Ji are qualified to go, with Zhao Yan's shrewdness, he will definitely not think of this, but he still took the initiative to bring it up, it seems that he has something to say to himself alone.
"The eldest brother has this Yaxing, and the younger brother should be his companion!" Zhao Yan also smiled at the moment, he also had something to say to Zhao Ji, such as the question about Hua Zhi.
At that moment, Zhao Yan and Zhao Ji first came to the vertical arch hall where Li Liangzuo usually handles government affairs, and saw that the entire hall still maintained the appearance when Li Liangzuo left, and even there were a lot of unopened folds on the table, and there was dry ink in the inkstone, and the brush was also thrown on the table at will, and even these things did not come to clean up, which shows that Li Liangzuo was in a panic when he left.
Zhao Yan looked at the chaotic scene in the hall with interest, imagining the panicked appearance of Li Liangzuo when he fled before, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, Xixia had bullied the Great Song Dynasty for so long, and this time it was finally a shame. And Zhao Ji walked to the dragon case, reached out and picked up a copy of the fold and looked at it, then smiled and threw it down: "Li Liangzuo has been captured by Yelu Chongyuan, and he will soon become a prisoner of my Great Song Dynasty, and the entire Western Xia is finally dead, and my Great Song Dynasty is finally missing a big trouble!" ā
"To be able to destroy Xixia, you have contributed a lot, and when you return to the capital, the prestige of the eldest brother will definitely reach a peak, and when he succeeds to the throne in the future, no one will dare to object, the younger brother is here to congratulate the eldest brother!" Zhao Yan smiled again at this time, but he had something to say, and with Zhao Yan's intelligence, he should be able to hear it.
Sure enough, I saw that Zhao Ji couldn't help but show a wry smile after hearing Zhao Yan's words: "Third brother, you don't have to test me with words, I was indeed a little too stubborn before, but fortunately, Hua Zhi woke me up these days and made me understand that even if Hua Zhi becomes the crown princess, I am afraid that life will be difficult in the future, so I have made a decision not to insist on establishing Hua Zhi as the crown princess!" ā
Zhao Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Ji's words, and then said with an ecstatic expression: "Big brother, you have finally figured it out, and now I can finally go back to my father and confess!" ā
Seeing Zhao Yan's happy appearance, Zhao Yan also shook his head helplessly, originally he was determined to make Hua Zhi the crown princess, and he couldn't listen to the persuasion of others at all, including Zhao Yan, but there was only one exception, that was Hua Zhi herself. Zhao Ji still remembered that he took the opportunity of a trip to tell Hua Zhi his thoughts, and thought that she would be very happy, but Hua Zhi begged him not to do this with tears, because a woman like her has no foundation in the Great Song Dynasty, if she becomes the crown princess, I am afraid that it will become a thorn in the side of many people, and even if Zhao Ji protects her, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect her.
When Zhao Ji first heard Hua Zhi say this, he was very angry, after all, as the crown prince and the future emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, if he couldn't even protect his beloved woman, then what kind of son of heaven was he?
But after he calmed down, he slowly figured it out, what Hua Zhi said was not wrong, even if it was the emperor, Emperor Renzong also failed to protect his children, and this was only the hand of Xu Dezu's Yin and Ming Division, if he and Hua Zhi had children in the future, who would dare to guarantee that no one would do anything to their children, after all, there could be only one woman Hua Zhi in his harem, there would definitely be other concubines, and these concubines also had their own forces behind them, and the forces behind them were for the throne, But anything can be done.
It was precisely thinking of the above that Zhao Yan's thoughts finally loosened, coupled with Hua Zhi's persuasion from time to time, finally made Zhao Yan change his mind and no longer insist on establishing Hua Zhi as the crown princess, which also made Zhao Yan finally breathe a sigh of relief, Zhao Yan changed his mind, and he could finally go back to reunite with his family, speaking of which, Cao Ying still has a few months to give birth.
Seeing Zhao Yan's happy appearance, Zhao Yan suddenly spoke again: "Third brother, I can give up the idea of Lihuazhi as the crown princess, but there are still a few conditions!" (To be continued......)
