As soon as the firewood in the hut was closed, Shen Tuo couldn't help but let out a sigh and sighed. Zhao Ji naturally didn't know that Zhao Jianjian was extremely the emperor, and the only thing he wanted was to keep the throne, what to restore his homeland, and the idea of reviving the Song Dynasty had never been. The Zhao family is also strange, the ancestor is obviously a military general, and the children and grandchildren of later generations are weaker and more selfish than the other. Many years after Zhao Ji's death, the relationship between Song and Jin eased, Zhao Gou's biological mother Wei Xianfei was released back to China, Zhao Heng climbed the wheel of Wei Xianfei and asked her to bring a message to Zhao Gou, saying that after she returned to China, she was only willing to be the master of Taiyi Palace. originally thought that Zhao Gou would have a little conscience and welcome this unlucky brother back, but who expected that Concubine Wei would sink into the sea like a stone after returning to China, and there would be no news. Zhao Gou is a person, which can be seen.

Farewell to Zhao Ji, the sky is already dark. In this era, it is naturally impossible to have street lamps to illuminate, and the border city in the north naturally does not have the brass palace lamps in the deep palace of Tokyo, nor does it have exquisite lanterns painted with gold, Shen Tuo took a few servants, and by the light of the torches in the hands of the patrol golden soldiers, one foot deep and one foot shallow difficult walking.

The road is far away, and Shen Tuo secretly has a headache while taking care of his feet.

Zhao Ji has illusions about the future, but he doesn't. If you don't have illusions, you naturally have to find ways to do it yourself. It is impossible to expect the Jin people to send him back. However, with his historical knowledge and political skills, he must also have a corresponding political and power base to try to influence and change this situation.

For example, Liu Yu of the puppet Qi also became an out-and-out warlord because of the large area on both sides of the Yellow River, and the Jurchens immediately decided to make this emperor after the fall of Zhang Bangchang and became the agent of the Jin State in the Central Plains.

Like Shen Tuo, who has no strong soldiers and no inch of land under his feet, but what to negotiate with the Jin State, how can he make those barbarians who only see strength pay attention to him?

Thinking of this, I only feel a splitting headache. Although he was also wise and clever back then, he was also suffering from the difficulty of a clever woman to cook without rice.

When he returned to his lodgings, several princes and ministers had already gathered around him.

Shen Tuo was slightly moved, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhuqing has been waiting here for a long time, let's enter the room quickly." ”

Although his dwelling was also a thatched hut, after everyone entered the house as ordered, they still felt a lot warmer.

The old minister He Su kowtowed first: "Recently, the weather is cold, Your Majesty still goes out of the city every day, the minister is afraid that Your Majesty is weak, and it will be bad if you catch the wind and cold, and please ask Your Majesty to stop first, and when the weather is warm, it is not too late to go out of the city." ”

Zhao Xu, the king of Zhao, also said: "Your Majesty has always been weak, and the younger brother is also worried. ”

Shen Tuo said with a smile: "I didn't go out of the city for fun, there is a deep meaning in this, and I don't need to persuade you." ”

He went out of the city, one to relieve his depression, the second to exercise, and the third to visit the terrain. This Zhao Heng was born in the deep palace, grew up in the hands of Abao, and was only twenty-six years old, but his body was very weak. When Shen Tuo was first possessed, he thought that this person was seriously ill, and he couldn't breathe after walking a few steps. In desperation, I had to go out of the city every day to run and exercise in the name of walking, and after more than ten days, I already felt that my body had improved greatly.

As soon as he said this, others naturally had nothing to say. Uncle Zhang, who only knew the affairs of the Privy Council, bowed down at night and said: "Although Your Majesty has its own plans, it also needs to be self-respecting and prestigious. It's okay to go out of the city, but bring more attendants. I think that when His Majesty was dusty in Tokyo, the Jin people locked His Majesty in a felt tent, which was windy and cold on all sides, but there was no one to serve around. Such a tragic situation, thousands of years later, is still a shame for my Great Song Dynasty. Now the golden people treat His Majesty with courtesy, but His Majesty cannot be taken lightly, only by respecting himself, others will be more respectful. ”

Zhang Shuye, who was the Taishou of Haizhou, captured 36 people of Song Jiang, a thief in Shandong, with his wisdom, and was praised by the people of the time. Later, when he was the governor of Nandu Province, Tokyo was besieged, and he led a large army to Qin Wang, but because Qinzong's father and son were bent on seeking peace, he actually ordered him to return to the division.

Zhao Heng didn't know this person, but Shen Tuo was very respectful of him. The literati ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty had backbone and wisdom, but only this person and Li Gang and a few other people taught Shen Tuo how not to pay attention to it.

After he finished speaking, Shen Tuo immediately replied solemnly: "Qing's words are reasonable, I know." ”

Uncle Zhang sighed at night, and said: "The Jin people named His Majesty as a faint virtue, in fact, it is to insult my subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, and now the second emperor is hunting in the north, but it is just an expedient measure, and there will be a time to return to Tokyo in the future. ”

pointed at Shen Tuo's nose like this and pointed at it, but Shen Tuo was not annoyed, but smiled again: "Okay, I know." ”

In fact, he didn't do what Zhang Shuye said, but he just thought that calling himself me was very funny, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

The rest of the people didn't have anything to say, but just said hello and comforted Shen Tuo.

When Zhao Heng arrived in the Five Kingdoms City, because the houses around his residence were tic-tac-toe, he once laughed at himself and sat in the well and watched the sky. And there are suicidal thoughts, so these kings and ministers come to visit every day, lest he will not be able to think of suicide for a while.

When everyone resigned, Shen Tuo's room did not prepare an oil lamp, it was dark at first, and when the moonlight gradually came up, a clear light fell on the earth, Shen Tuo couldn't sleep, and couldn't help but get up and go out for a walk.

It was dark early, and the hour was not too late, according to the time of the afterlife, but it was eight o'clock. Then the ancients had no entertainment at night, and at this moment, most of the people in this small city had already fallen asleep, and those who had wives and daughters were afraid that they had also been warm a few times, and they were extremely tired and fell asleep.

Only a group of golden soldiers patrolled the streets of the city with heavy leather boots. When it is slammed, it also seems to step on people's hearts, which is depressing and unbearable.

Shen Tuo was stunned for a moment, only to feel that there were a lot of things coming one after another. How to get out, but still have no clue. When I was bored, I was about to go back to my room to sleep, but I heard a burst of horses' hooves running and human voices not far away.

He tilted his head and listened for a moment, and then he knew that it was the garrison in the city playing polo.

The Jin people inherited the Liao style, and the Liao people's rules and regulations and folk customs inherited the Tang Dynasty. This game of playing polo, the Northern Song Dynasty lacked horses, and it has gradually developed from horses to underground, and changed to human feet to kick. And in the northern country, this kind of game of immediate confrontation is still prevalent.

Shen Tuo was bored left and right, so he walked and walked towards the court not far away.

Behind him, in addition to his cronies, there was still a team of golden soldiers, who followed the guards not far away. When it comes to freedom, Shen Tuo is actually very high, except that he can't be too far away from the city, and he is even more free to move around the city.

The stadium was not far from Shen Tuo's residence, and he walked around, and after a short time, he was already outside the stadium. Because of the simplicity of the city, the stadium in the city is also very small, not as gorgeous and exquisite as the construction of the big city stadium, but a large field, and some simple clay stands have been built on the side of the stadium for people to sit on and watch the game.

When Shen Tuo arrived, the serious game had already ended, and dozens of golden players had already jumped off their horses and lay on the side of the field to rest. With the afterglow of the torches around the stadium, everyone had already seen Shen Tuo and his party coming, but they were physically tired, and although Shen Tuo's identity was special, Jin Ren didn't take him seriously, so no one paid attention to him.

Shen Tuo was stunned, and saw that everyone was no longer fighting, but he also felt bored. It's just that it has arrived, but it is inconvenient to go again, so I have to sit in the middle of the field, pondering in a daze.

In fact, he came here tonight for no reason. News has come from Shangjing that in a few days, a large-scale polo match will be held in Shangjing, and I don't know what Zong Ji thinks, so he sent an envoy to invite Shen Tuo and Zhao Ji to Shangjing to watch the game together.

Shen Tuo had ordered someone to reply to the book, only to say that Zhao Ji was old and unbearable, and only he was willing to accept the invitation to go to Beijing to watch the game. In fact, he himself knew very little about this kind of ancient game, but he was afraid of offending a powerful figure in the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom like Zong Hu, so he had to agree.

Zhao Ji already knew about this matter, just like when his son went out of the city to negotiate with him in the gold camp, he had nothing to do, so he had to persuade Shen Tuo to be careful, and then he had nothing else to say.

Shen Tuo had this matter hanging in his heart, and he was actually a little interested in the polo game, so he did this tonight.
