It's the end of the first month, and it's not as cold as the number nine winter. The last more o'clock bell rang from the street, and in the morning breeze, it became softer and more delicate, like a silver thread that trembled gently.

Yangzhou Xing is lit up in the Xinuan Pavilion, shining in this glorious space made of gold and jade, and under the silver carved candlesticks, there are mottled wax tears. The curtain hung low, and the beaded curtain screen window had already penetrated the coolness of late winter.

On the imperial couch, Zhao Chen was having a strange and terrifying nightmare: in an empty hall, the walls were covered with calligraphy and paintings, and the room was empty, only he was lingering and admiring.

He stopped in front of a 'picture of listening to the qin' painted by Emperor Daojun......

There was a strange sound behind him, and when he looked back, a man was already approaching. She looked like a barbarian woman, tall, disheveled, and armed with a spear...... He was so frightened that he fled and shouted for someone. But no one came, and his legs were already limp...... Yi woman pounced, he fell to the ground on his back, Yi woman took advantage of the situation to ride on him, holding the tip of the gun straight to his throat, in a panic, he held the gun with both hands, pushed it out forcefully to refuse, and shouted for help at the same time, his arms were so sore that he could not support it, and the tip of the gun was only about an inch from his throat......

Tong Mu heard the voice, entered the house, and saw the emperor's head rolling from side to side on the pillow, and let out a terrible cry, knowing that he was in trouble again, he pushed and shouted to wake him up.

Zhao Chen woke up, still staring at a pair of eyes in horror, and waited for a while before he was fully awake, and when he saw the waiter on the side, Zhao Chen's nervous mood suddenly calmed down.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? Is it another nightmare? ”

"Ah, nothing, I had a dream." Zhao Chen said lightly, but his heart was still beating violently.

"Ah, what time! Let's get some more sleep! Zhao Chen turned sideways inside. He didn't want to tell the scene in the dream, as the emperor, he felt hurt his self-esteem when he was frightened like this by a dream.

Zhao Chen closed his eyes hard, but he didn't feel sleepy, his pulse was pounding in his ears, this dream just now made him feel very strange, five days ago he also dreamed that a woman was chasing him, the plot is similar to this time, why is it always a woman? What does Emperor Daojun's calligraphy and painting mean? There have been hundreds of painters throughout the ages, why did you dream of Zhao Ji alone? And he became a prisoner of the Kingdom of Jin.

Since the siege of the city by the Jin soldiers during the Jingkang period, he was frightened and sleepless, and felt a slight cold when he was in the suburbs of the Queen Mother and Huyangeng, and although he recovered later, there were hidden dangers in his body. Since he became in power, he has become more and more mentally dazed and physically weak.

His mind flooded like a runaway tide along this thread...... He felt that these two nightmares were a warning and a portent. Is he going to follow the fate of his grandfather?

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, convinced that the dream was a hint, and he suddenly felt a chill penetrate his spine, and when he opened his eyes and looked around in horror, the residual light was still a yellow and clear hue.

In front of everyone, Zhao Chen tried his best to make a hard work, but after experiencing the siege of Fuli and the defeat of Shouzhou, two setbacks, in Zhao Chen's heart, he doubted whether he could really revive the foundation. For this reason, although he personally decided to go on a personal expedition, Zhao Chen did not set off with the army, but stayed in Yangzhou and waited and saw the direction of the wind.

What will be the outcome of the future? It is said that the captive chieftain is now more powerful, and it has far surpassed the Wanyan Agu fight of the year, if he is defeated in Jiangbei this time, will the captive chieftain drive straight in? Can Huang Qianshan and Wang Yu stop them? …… It seems that there is still a need for a heavy reward, if it is not, if it is really as Zhang Quan said: "The feudal territory is not guarded, the two emperors move north, and the dynasty pays taxes and accumulates the wealth of the enemy, how can I regret it?!" ”

He Li hurriedly changed his court clothes, took a long shift, and hurriedly rushed to the transfer department where he was.

He felt that there were a lot of things to say to the emperor, in addition to those old topics such as replenishment, payment, and inviting the emperor to govern the court, he also had to find an opportunity to alienate the emperor from King Kang.

Prime Minister Li Boji is too upright, and he was appointed by the Queen Mother, not liked by the emperor, he and Sun Fu are considered imperial parties, and King Kang, as a clan, is too close to the emperor, which endangers the interests of all civil officials...... He Li meditated and sorted out, secretly making a draft in his heart.

But Zhao Chen didn't ask him about any government affairs, but asked him to interpret his dreams.

Zhao Chen recounted the scene in the dream, still looking palpitating. He Li was old, and Long Zhong lowered his head and listened intently. After the emperor finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, thinking in his heart how to make the emperor turn his worries into joy.

"Weichen thought it was a good dream, a good omen."

"Oh?! Why is it Daji, you tell me about it. ”

"Does the emperor still remember the dream that Duke Wen of Jin obtained on the eve of the battle of Jin and Chu Chengpu in the Spring and Autumn Period?!"

Zhao Chen's face showed confusion.

"The dream of Duke Wen of Jin is very similar to that of the emperor. He dreamed of sumo wrestling with the king of Chu, he fell on his back, the king of Chu rode on him, smashed his skull and sucked his brain, and was very frightened after waking up, and told the minister Hu Yan of the dream, and Hu Yan thought that it was a good omen after the dream came true, so the emperor must be undoubted. He Li is worthy of being a talent, and he remembered this historical allusion only when he was quick-witted.

"Oh?! How did this dream fox come true? Zhao Chen looked eager.

"Hu Yan said that Duke Wen fell to the ground on his back because he was cared for by God, and the king of Chu became a horse and ambushed means that he knelt on the ground to ask for sin, and the brain is a soft thing, and the king of Chu took its softness to mean supple submission. The next day, the decisive battle was really defeated, and the Chu army responded to the dream. The Yi woman in the emperor's dream obviously refers to the Jurchen, and she rides on the emperor, which is exactly the same as the king of Chu in the dream of Jin Wengong, which shows that he will surely defeat Suo Lu one day. ”

"So, what does it mean for the woman to stab me in the throat with the tip of a spear?" The emperor was already happy, but he asked a little uneasily.

"Weichen thinks that the tip of the gun is the front end of the gun, and the throat piercing is the homonym of waiting, which together means 'preemptively serving', which means that after the Nu chieftain captures the head, the Jurchens will take the lead in expressing their submission to me, and the other tribes will also follow suit, and from then on I will have a good situation of stability and entertainment in the four realms."

Zhao Chen was skeptical: "I hope everything is as good as the good words." ”

At dawn, the fast horse of the victory galloped into the city, and the four words "Gaoyou Great Victory" were written on the flagpole, which was Lubu Feijie.

He Li was summoned to the line again, and this time, the emperor was radiant: "Everything is as Mr. said, and it really broke the rope and beheaded three hundred." I am determined to go on my own. ”

He Li bowed down: "Since Wang Dianshuai has already won, why should the emperor go to the dangerous place in person?" ”

At this time, Zhao Chen's youthful heart had completely suppressed his suspicions and fears, and he was determined to follow the example of Duke Wen of Jin and personally win the Battle of Chengpu

"I'm tired of the world's heavy responsibility, Mr. Grain and grass before the army, don't delay. The emperor shook the hand of the second minister vigorously and said with a sigh.

"Weichen should do his best, liver and brain, in order to live up to His Majesty's trust." He Li's heart was still a little excited, the emperor did not hand over the responsibility of staying behind to Prime Minister Li Gang, but handed it over to himself, the second minister. He was about to say something to ask the emperor to be careful of King Kang, but Zhao Chen interrupted him.

"Xianggong, the north and south of the river, nearly 10 million displaced people, like dry firewood everywhere, Xianggong raised grain and grass, he had to deal with it carefully, and he would spoil my country."

"Wechen are guilty of capital crimes, and they will never dare to plunder the good people."

He Li responded noly, thinking: The emperor summoned a moment of gold, since the emperor cares about the military salary, the real situation of the military salary must also let the emperor know.

So he stubbornly said the 100,000 urgent request: "In order to help the displaced people, Yangzhou has not much grain and grass in stock, and the army has been in arrears for nearly half a year, and the newly transferred reinforcements have not yet been paid. 'Han Bai's bravery, non-su does not fight. 'An army of 70,000 marched out, consuming 500 stone of grain a day. Now that the grain industry of Jiangning Mansion has been exhausted, and the Jiangnan conquest has not yet arrived in Yangzhou, for today's plan, I hope that the emperor will decree that the rich and wealthy officials of Yangzhou and Jinling will be asked to donate, so as to save the eyebrows, temporarily comfort the thoughts of the army Wangmei, and encourage the soldiers to rush the spirit, so that the Dongyi ugly class is not difficult to extinguish. ”

"Soldiers' salaries are very important, and efforts should be made in various ways to avoid a shortage and delay military aircraft." Zhao Chen half-closed his eyes and said slowly.

The emperor only responded to the story for a long time, which made the second minister deeply disappointed, so he further pleaded: "Now that Dongyi is in trouble, close to peeling off the skin, and the military salary has become 100,000 urgent, why should the emperor be alone today." Please ask the emperor to decree that each household of the clan will donate 10,000 stone of grain, and if there is no grain, it can be used to offset it."

"Let the eunuchs of the clan donate." Zhao Chen slapped his thigh, "Wonderful, when the city was besieged during the Jingkang period, Hu Yangeng also asked the clan to donate, and I immediately issued an order." ”

The emperor found a scholar from Zhongshushe, who was also the prefect of Yangzhou, Wang Boyan shouted: "This chaotic life, the minister does not dare to draft the edict." "Wang Boyan is running Yangzhou as a nest, how can he offend the local eunuchs?

Zhao Chen was furious: "I haven't left Beijing yet, don't you take me in your eyes?" Please come to Lee Sang-ko, please come to Lee Sang-gong. ”

The emperor's teacher, Sun Fu, did not approve of letting the clan officials donate, he subconsciously believed that offending the gentry was never a good thing, and the local gentry would never give up.

The court meeting was inconclusive, and the four governors went out to find allies and prepare to compete again.

In the evening, Han Xiaoxuan, who lived in Yangzhou, came to the house of Han Fake's brothers, and a visitor came, who was a protégé of Prime Minister Li Gang, and also had an old relationship with Han Fake. He was entrusted by Li Gang to win over the Han brothers and let them take the lead in donating.

According to Li Gang's thoughts, the five dynasties of the Han family are the prime ministers, and the world receives the grace of the country, and it is the time to give everything to repay the king. Moreover, the Han family has a lot of money, a solid number of people, and a mere 10,000 stone of grain, the Han family will not care at all. He only sent one protégé, which was enough to convince the Han family.
