Chapter 14: The Prince's Return (2)
The docks in Hangzhou are very prosperous, bustling to the point of crowding. Ships come in and out, and tens of thousands of people come and go every day. Hao Kang stood in the middle of a group of Yuanguo classmates, and whenever someone came to the dock, he couldn't help but show an expectant expression. After confirming that the person who came was not the classmate Mu he was expecting, his face couldn't help but be gloomy.
Time passed minute by minute, and there was not much time left to get on the ship. Hao Kang's heart became more and more anxious, even though he knew that what he was expecting probably would not appear, he still couldn't help but hope that a miracle would happen.
Another group of people came over, and Hao Kang paid attention again. Seeing that some of the people in the flow of people came straight in the direction where he was, Hao Kang once again had expectations in his heart. After studying in the Great Song Dynasty for several years, Hao Kang also made some Song classmates, but he was a Mongolian after all, although Hao Kang felt that there was a huge gap between the Yuan Kingdom and Mongolia, but those classmates did not see it that way. Everyone got acquainted with each other because young people like to make friends, but the newspapers of the Great Song Dynasty often publicized the beheading of tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of northern Yidi, and Hao Kang's heart was also repeatedly impacted.
In such a situation, Hao Kang still has a very good relationship with a classmate Mu. This relationship is so good that Hao Kang even told classmate Mu that he hoped that she could go to the Yuan Kingdom with Hao Kang to start their new life. Then, Hao Kang was waiting for classmate Mu here. Even though he knew that his expectations were not likely to come true, Hao Kang still hoped that a miracle would happen.
The newcomers were different from the previous ones, and some of them walked out of the crowd and headed straight for Hao Kang. Look closely, it is not a Song person wearing ordinary clothes, and there are no women among them. Coming straight to Hao Kang was a group of soldiers. At this time, Hao Kang's face became even worse. When facing classmate Mu, Hao Kang didn't consider that he was from the Yuan Kingdom, and classmate Mu was from the Great Song Dynasty. But those Great Song military uniforms can always make Hao Kang clearly perceive that those people are enemies. It was the ravages of those people in Mongolia that led to the news of the Great Song Dynasty newspaper's 'beheading N 10,000' and 'beheading N is 10,000 in the year'.
Seeing a group of soldiers coming over with a clear goal, the people in the Yuan embassy were also frightened. They hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of this group of international students who were very precious to Yuan Guo. These young international students came from noble backgrounds in the Yuan Kingdom, and they were all children of the great figures of the Yuan Kingdom. These young people received a long education in the Great Song Dynasty, and they all had to be reused after returning to the Yuan Kingdom. The soldiers stopped in front of the Yuan embassy personnel, and a major stepped forward and asked, "Do you have a man named Hao Kang here?" ”
"You ...... What's the matter? The embassy staff of the Yuan Kingdom asked cautiously.
A person came up from behind Major Song Jun, he was in his forties, tall and sturdy, and he looked like a practitioner. The gestures are light and powerful. The embassy personnel of the Yuan State couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the rank badge of the general on the shoulders of this soldier proved his distinguished status. Swallowing his saliva vigorously, the embassy staff said respectfully, "May I ask what advice this lord has?" ”
Hao Kang was standing behind the embassy staff, he never expected that a big man would come to him, and his heart couldn't help beating violently. The Yuan State comprehensively studied the Great Song Dynasty, not the system or culture, and the Great Song Dynasty, the sworn enemy of Mongolia, was the teacher of the Yuan Kingdom. Therefore, Hao Kang knew that the system of the Great Song Dynasty was 'in line with power and responsibility', and the Zhao official family of the Great Song Dynasty, as the commander of the Great Song Dynasty, had the only generalissimo class. This class is not because Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guanjia are emperors, but because Zhao Guanjia, as the founder and commander of the new army of the Great Song Dynasty, has established countless great achievements and won countless battles.
In the regulations on the military ranks of the Great Song Dynasty, it was stipulated that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was the commander of the Great Song army. However, the commander of the Great Song army did not have any military rank, and if the Great Song Emperor wanted to hang up the military rank, he had to join the army, and this military rank must be the military rank he obtained when he served in the army. Any emperor, prince, royal family, and clan is subject to this rule. No matter how noble the status is, it must obey the system of the army.
Under such a strict system, a general of the Song army must have risked the arrow stone himself and established his merits in the army of ten thousand horses. And such a general will command more soldiers and horses than the whole country of the Yuan Kingdom. The Song army commanded by the Great Song Emperor killed the seven-digit 'Yidi', and it is also said that the 'Yidi' killed by the Song army under the command of the Great Song Emperor has reached eight figures. The 'Yidi' that the general in front of him has killed must reach at least six figures. He must have been a sworn enemy of the Mongols.
Hao Kang knew this fact, and the envoys of the Yuan Kingdom naturally knew it too. After asking the lord 'what advice do you have', the envoy looked at the general of the Song State vigilantly, and couldn't think of how to send this killer away at all.
Yang Tiexin wanted to speak, but his eyes swept over the group of returnees from the Yuan Kingdom, and he couldn't remember what to say. Without saying anything, Yang Tiexin saw the person he was looking for. Yang Tiexin always thought that he had long forgotten his wife's appearance, and when he recalled the past twenty years ago, his wife's face was hazy, and only her figure was clear. Now he saw that the young man standing behind the staff of the Yuan State Embassy had an extremely familiar face from Yang Tiexin.
In an instant, Yang Tiexin realized that he was wrong, he thought that he would see Hao Ren's son. I didn't expect to see Bao Xi's weak son. The eyebrows and eyes, and the appearance are all appearances that Yang Tiexin can't remember clearly but has never forgotten. Yang Tiexin took two steps forward, wanting to get close to Bao Xi's weak son. Seeing that the situation was not good, the envoy of the Yuan State hurriedly tried to block in front of Bao Xi's weak son.
Major Song Jun grabbed the messenger and pulled him aside. The envoy still wanted to struggle, but two more Song soldiers came up and suppressed this guy in an instant. The major said coldly: "Don't make a mess, we'll clean you up if you mess around." ”
Seeing that he couldn't move, the messenger could only shout: "Prince, you go first!" ”
Hao Kang turned a deaf ear to this, as the prince of the Yuan Kingdom, he received a very strict military education. Therefore, he could feel the power of the Song general on the other side, just as the little lion could clearly feel the power of the male lion.
"You...... Is it the son of Bao Xi's weak? Hao Kang heard the general Song Guo on the other side say, and this accent made Hao Kang stunned. The Great Song Dynasty has a vast territory, and the people in each place have their own accents. Maybe the people of Da Song don't know it themselves, but for Hao Kang, an outsider, he can hear the subtleties in his voice. The accent of the man opposite was exactly the same as that of Hao Kang's mother, and the subtleties there were really exactly the same. Even the tone doesn't make a difference.
After a moment's hesitation, Hao Kang naturally replied with an accent he had learned from his mother, "Yes." Do you have any advice? ”
Hao Kang thought that the general of the Song State in front of him would say something in a vicious tone, but he didn't expect the general of the Song State to say nothing, his face was sad and happy, and he looked like an uncle next door, not a general who killed people without calculation.
After a moment of antagonism, Hao Ren spoke again under strong psychological pressure, "May I ask Your Excellency to know my mother?" ”
After saying this, Hao Kang saw that the general of the Song Kingdom had red eyes. Hao Kang, who was less than twenty years old, was taken aback by this change, and he was puzzled in his heart, why did he make a man in his forties cry if he didn't say anything terrible.
Just when all kinds of thoughts were running wild, and even the idea of 'wiping the tears of the person opposite with a tissue' came to him, Hao Kang heard the person opposite say in a fairly gentle voice: "I am ...... Your mother's old friend. ”
"Oh. Hello uncle. Hao Kang said instinctively.
"I ...... I want you to do something for me. The general on the other side said.
"What's the matter?" Hao Kang replied cautiously. At the same time, he observed the man opposite. As the concubine of the lord of the Yuan Kingdom, Bao Xiqiao has a very high status in the Yuan Kingdom. But compared with Hao Ren, the lord of the Yuan State, this status is not particularly lofty. Hao Kang never cared about his mother's background, he only knew that the old lady was a southern Han Chinese, and the Han people were as noble as the Mongols in the current Yuan Kingdom, or even a little more noble than the Mongols.
As for how his father Hao Ren and his mother Bao Xiweak got married, Hao Kang never thought about it. The father is the lord of the country, and the mother is the concubine. He is the eldest son and has a group of younger siblings. If you feel happy, you run out to play with your friends, and when you are unhappy, you run to find your mother to be coquettish, tired of being by her side. If you do something wrong, you will be scolded by your mother, and your father will scold or beat or reprimand, this is his view of the family.
Now Hao Kang suddenly discovered that his mother's mother is not a simple 'mother'. Just like his father Hao Ren, his mother-in-law seems to have a great background. For General Song Guo to come specially, it is impossible for ordinary people to have such treatment.
Just when his heart was confused, Hao Kang felt as if he saw the general of Song Guo on the opposite side, and his eyes were red. Just when Hao Kang felt that he might be wrong, he saw that the expression of the general of Song Guo on the opposite side suddenly changed. Fang Cai's excitement dissipated cleanly, and that person suddenly regained the firmness and composure that a general of the Song Kingdom should have. This original appearance made Hao Kang can't help but think of his father Hao Ren.
"Boy, my name is Yang Tiexin. Remember? General Song Guo said in a gentle voice.
"This ......," Hao Kang felt like he didn't remember.
"Bring pen and paper." General Song said.
Immediately, a soldier came out with a pen and paper, and two people held the briefcase, so that the flat back of the briefcase was upward, and a stack of letter paper was placed on top of the briefcase. General Song Guo swiped and wrote something on the letterhead. Song Guojun quickly handed over a brown paper to believe, and General Song Guo folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope, and wrote the words 'Yang Tiexin' on the envelope.
Hao Kang took the envelope in confusion, and listened to General Song Jun say: "Please give this to your mother." ”
"Yes." Hao Kang replied.
"Don't lose it on the road."
"Yes."
I thought that General Song Guo would say something, but I didn't expect General Song Jun to raise his hand and want to pat Hao Kang on the shoulder, but that hand did not fall. After a while, the general of the Song State turned around and left, and those Song troops let go of the envoys of the Yuan State and followed the general of the Song State to walk away.
Seeing that the Song army was gone, the envoy of the Yuan State was amnesty, and he hurriedly said to Hao Kang: "Prince, let's get on the boat." After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Hao Kang wanted to or not, the two envoys of the Yuan Kingdom pulled and pushed and escorted Hao Kang to the special boat prepared for the students of the Yuan Kingdom.
Although Hao Kang was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that he might not be safe.
When he arrived at the ship, Hao Kang stood on the deck, looking condescendingly at the dock. Even if he still had expectations in his heart, Hao Kang also knew that he probably couldn't wait for classmate Mu.
Holding the letter, Hao Kang looked at the three words of Yang Tiexin on the cover of the envelope with a heavy heart, and then took out the letter paper. A short sentence was written on the letterhead, 'Yang Tiexin's greetings to Bao Xi's weakness and well'.
This line of words made Hao Kang feel inexplicable. Is it worth spending so much effort just for such a sentence? As for the excited performance of the general of the Song Army who I saw just now, he wrote a thousand words, which would not surprise Hao Kang.
Put the letter away and put it in your bag. Hao Kang remembered the Yulin bell of Liu Yong, a great lyricist of the Song Kingdom.
The cold cicada is poignant, the long pavilion is late, and the showers are at the beginning of the break. The capital tent has no clue, nostalgia, and Lan Zhou urges. Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked. Thinking of going, thousands of miles of smoke waves, twilight is heavy and the sky is wide.
Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more Nakan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival! Where do you wake up tonight? The willow bank, the wind and the waning moon. This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are thousands of styles, who can you talk to?
Reading this poem in his heart, Hao Kang only felt sadness coming from it, and tears couldn't help but welled up in his eyes, slid down his cheeks, and fell on the letter paper. is about to be separated from classmate Mu, and he will never be able to meet in his life. At this time, Hao Kang had a thousand words to say, but he couldn't find a word that could be more in line with his mood at this time.
The whistle sounded very uninterestingly, and the boatmen immediately untied the cable tied to the dock. With a slight vibration, the paddle wheels on both sides of the hull also began to rotate slowly.
The envoy of the Yuan Kingdom, who was standing on the deck, let out a long sigh of relief. The ship transporting these noble and valuable students of the Yuan Kingdom has finally started, and although there will be some dangers along the way, at least they have begun to move towards the Yuan Kingdom. As long as you overcome all kinds of hardships along the way, you can return to the Yuan Kingdom. At that time, the envoys would be able to explain to Hao Ren, the lord of the Yuan Kingdom, and get the reward they deserved. Not to mention the general of the Song Kingdom, it is an ordinary soldier of the Song Kingdom, and the envoy does not want to provoke him in the slightest.
Hao Kang wiped his tears with his sleeve, stuffed the one-sentence greeting letter back into the envelope, and put it in his bag. I watched the pier get farther and farther away, and watched the figure get smaller and smaller until I couldn't see clearly. Hao Kang was still standing next to the guardrail of overtime. He stood until it was dark, and then he returned to his cabin dejectedly. Lying on the bed, Hao Kang put the quilt on his head and remained motionless. Only the shoulders were slightly heaving, and low sobs rang out from the cabin.
On January 22, 334 of the Great Song Dynasty, the first batch of students from the Yuan Kingdom to the Song Dynasty embarked on the road of returning home.
