Wu Yingying knew that Lu Jiang was also leaving a way back for the family, maybe the Lu family in Jiangnan was not guaranteed, but Lu Zhongjie's branch could spread out in the north and continue the incense for the family.

After leaving Xuanzhou, Wu Yingying led the Shenwei army along the south bank of the Yangtze River to Chizhou and Jiangzhou, and specially selected those state capitals that had recently surrendered to the Song State, and the officials at the top and bottom were all the old people of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It was not until Ezhou that the Shenwei army crossed the Yangtze River and met with the Song army left in Ezhou, and most of the main forces of the Song army marched east to conquer the Tang Dynasty.

After that, the march was within the Song realm, under the instructions of the Zoroastrian disciples and scouts, the Shenwei army avoided contact with the Song army of more than 1,000 people all the way, and entered Dengzhou along the Han River.

Although Wu Yingying spared no money to buy food, vegetables, meat, medicine and other supplies from the residents along the way, and forcibly pulled dozens of Langzhong to accompany the army, when crossing the Yellow River, there were less than 4,000 of the 8,000 Jiangnan children left at the time of departure. After crossing the river, he met the military envoy sent by the Tuhun army to respond, Wu Yingying led the surviving soldiers to face the Yellow River, and paid tribute to the comrades who died all the way to the death. Under the roar of the Yellow River, many surviving brothers made a blood alliance with each other, and swore to the heavenly alliance to share life and death and prosperity.

However, the hardships along the way also brought great benefits, the members of the brotherhood have grown to more than 400 people, and the other soldiers also believe that they are in the camp and die as ghosts in the camp. The non-commissioned officers of the whole army have gone through the wind and frost, and the places where they are hard-working and dare to fight are especially better than in the past.

In the ninth year of Kaibao in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, who was over 50 years old, held a banquet in the Jiying Hall to entertain the former Jiangnan lord who "came to the dynasty", and disobeyed Cai Yu.

The taste of cloves, borneol, osmanthus, olives and other spices and petals fills the whole palace, several cases are piled up with lychees, longans and dried fruits, carved plum balls, red children, carved bamboo shoots, honey winter melon fish and other carved candied fruits are exquisitely clear and make people can't bear to get down, one by one the palace delicacies flower cooking quail, lychee white kidney, milk room sign, three crispy soup, sheep tongue stick, budding belly scarf, gizzard palm stick, quail soup, belly belly, mandarin duck fried belly water is generally sent forward, the fragrance is overflowing.

However, what can stimulate Zhao Kuangyin's appetite and interest is not the delicacies that can be seen every day, but Cai Yu, who is sitting at the bottom of the head.

"Cai Qing, Bianliang is settled, are you still used to the Hou Mansion that I prepared for Qing?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Cai Yu who was drinking with his head bowed with some pride.

Jinling was destroyed by a fire, and the planned Southern Tang Dynasty reserves could not be obtained, and the Kaifeng treasury was short of grain, and the original plan to attack the Northern Han last autumn had to be postponed. This Cai Yu looks like a gentleman, but he didn't expect to have such the courage to burn jade.

Although Wang Yu called Cao Bin sick in the secret recital, Pan Mei and Cao Han plundered the troops and burned Jinling clearly. But at present, the Northern Han Dynasty has not been destroyed, and it is the time to employ people, so the generals of the Southern Expedition can only be reprimanded.

Looking at Cai Yu, who was weak and weak, Zhao Kuangyin was angry from his heart, they are all people's fat and people's ointment, your family can't keep it and still be strong, and the last fire should be killed. However, after being the emperor for all these years, Zhao Kuangyin also knew that the better he was to Cai Yu, the more he could reflect his generosity and benevolence, so he held back his anger and entertained him from time to time, but the beating and ridicule outside the words were indispensable.

At this time, it has been almost a year since the fall of Jinling, and Zhou Hou committed suicide by throwing himself into the river on the way to Jinling, and Cao Bin, who escorted Cai Yu, stopped the boat and ordered the soldiers to fish out the body in the cold river water, and handed it over to the local government for incineration after being verified by the soldier, and now there is only a handful of incense ashes left.

After coming to Bianliang, Cai Yu often blamed himself for not dying on the day of the city breaking, Jiangnan resisted the Northern Dynasties, which can be described as heroic, Jinling City was broken, Wu Qiao was martyred, Hu Ze was martyred, Pei Yue was martyred, and Lu Yan was martyred, and the Song people let themselves write a letter to recruit Lu Jiang to surrender Zhaowu Jiedu, and the result was a reversal, Lu Jiang was killed, and the Lu family was martyred at the same time, the second son did not know what to do, and the third son is said to have fallen into Dongting Shui Kou with some of the old departments of the Lingbo army. Even a woman after the week did not want to be humiliated and committed suicide, but she survived, borrowing wine every day to kill her sorrows, just as if she was no longer in this world.

A team of graceful dancers shuttled through the atrium like butterflies among flowers, Cai Yu only didn't see it suddenly, only holding the wine glass in a daze, and didn't even hear Zhao Kuangyin's question, causing the Great Song Emperor to snort heavily in a nasal voice, and King Guangyi of Jin, who was sitting opposite, flashed a cold light in his eyes.

Cai Yu woke up from the remembrance of the neon dress and feather coat, and looked up at Zhao Kuangyin in a hurry and for some reason.

"It's such a soft fool," Zhao Kuangyin muttered dissatisfiedly, but his face was still pleasant: "Cai Qing, these dancing girls are all tributed by Jiangnan, and the dances are also from Jiangnan, so you can talk about homesickness for Qing." ”

Cai Yu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly left his seat and kowtowed: "The criminal minister once disobeyed His Majesty, but now he has long since changed his past wrongs, and he lives in Bianliang in peace, he has no dissent, and he hopes that the holy will will be merciful." ”

He looked so hasty, and the Jiangnan courtiers Xu Xian and Zhang Xun who sat with him on the side, as well as those Jiangnan dancers who Cai Yu had instructed and trained, even those who had no heart and soul were sad when they saw this scene.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to make the atmosphere so bad, he asked Cai Yu and others to be just a companion, happy teasing, unhappy pat, today there are some important things to say to call someone, so I don't care about him, thinking of this, Wen Yan raised his hand and said: "Cai Qing, please get up, I can see your words and deeds in Bianliang, you can live with peace of mind, you can ask me for all kinds of things you need, you can ask me for everything, or you can ask for Jin Wang Guangyi and Teng Wang Dexiu." ”

Zhao Guangyi's face changed slightly, and he nodded with Zhao Kuangyin's eldest son, Teng Wang Dexiu.

Cai Yu only said yes, Zhao Kuangyin nodded, turned the conversation and said: "I heard that Qing had no intention of inheriting the Jiangnan side, but only because of the early death of his eldest brother Hongyi, he took over the country with his eldest son. ”

Cai Yu didn't know why he asked, nodded respectfully and said, "Exactly." ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded warmly and said: "It is not easy for a hundred kings to establish a long line, Qing is a humble gentleman, and he has the style of Ji Za to let the country, and I am very commended." After speaking, he raised his glass and drank a cup with Cai Yu, and the Jin King Zhao Guangyi, the Teng King Zhao Dexiu, the Qin Hui King Zhao Defang, and the Southern Tang Dynasty ministers Xu Xian and Zhang Xun raised a glass to drink together.

When King Guangyi of Jin heard the words "Ji Za let the country", his face changed slightly, although he calmly raised the glass and drank the wine, his hand pinched the wine glass fiercely, and the bones on the originally white and slender fingers burst out.

More than ten days later, it was the middle of winter in October, the first heavy snow since the winter fell in Kaifeng City, Zhao Kuangyin recalled the joy of enjoying the snow with his younger brother Guangyi when he was poor, and summoned Guangyi to enter the palace to drink and enjoy the snow together, the brothers did not want outsiders to disturb, and the warm wine and barbecue were happy, and when they were half-drunk, Guangyin, who was born as a martial artist, picked up the jade axe and waved it in the snow, laughing loudly: "Since ancient times, the emperor with a white body, Henkel is the first, and I can follow him." It's so easy, so easy!"

Zhao Guangyi chanted poems and harmony on the side, both of them were drunk, late at night, Zhao Guangyin was woken up in a dream, his intuition was like a knife, his mind was clever not to let Wenchen, otherwise he would not be in a yellow robe, a thought about it would probably deduce the cause and effect, and ordered someone to immediately summon the eldest son Teng Wang Zhao Dexiu into the palace to take the throne, waiting for a long time, Dexiu did not arrive, the palace people reported that King Guangyi of Jin came to meet. Zhao Kuangyin is a person who has come over, how can he not understand what is going on when he sees this situation, and the decree is to retreat everyone, leaving only the two brothers to see the last side in the light gauze candle shadow.

Zhao Guangyi had already arranged for his henchmen to control the Forbidden Palace and even the entire Bianliang, and it was this night that he had been planning for several years, and he hurried to his brother's bedroom when he heard the summons. At this time, Zhao Guangyin's face was already like gold paper, and when he saw Guangyi coming, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "You did a good job!" He was born in the army and has been the son of heaven for many years, although he is dying, there is extraordinary power in his words, Guangyi's heart is weak, and he doesn't dare to look directly at him when he turns his head sideways.

Seeing that Guangyi was in such a shape, Zhao Kuangyin sat down and guessed in his heart, the original clear eyes suddenly lost their light, looked up at him and said: "I know that you have great ambitions, sure enough, you are good, you are ...... for yourself" The voice passed before the words fell.

"Brother!" Seeing his brother die, Zhao Guangyi knelt on his knees and mourned loudly.

The next day, Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, succeeded to the throne. The new monarch ascended the throne, and the ministers of the court and the central government were all rewarded, and even Cai Yu, the king of the country, was also disobeyed and waited for the position of the prince of Longxi, but the actual treatment was worse, Zhao Guangyi couldn't get used to him, and he didn't even bother to treat the ministers well. The important ministers of the court discussed, respected the first emperor temple called Taizu, and the name of the Yingwu Shengwen Shende Emperor, and changed the Yuan Taiping to rejuvenate the country.

The Great Song Dynasty was busy handling the funeral of Taizu and the enthronement of the new monarch, and the Taiyuan monarchs and ministers, who had been worried about the Song Emperor's army attacking, were also relieved, and how to deal with the Wu Yingying Department who had been stranded in the Han realm for three months was put on the agenda of the Northern Han monarchs.

In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Guo Wuwei, the eunuch Wei Degui, and Xuanhui made Fan Chao to be summoned to the palace by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Jinyang palace city is dozens of generations of kings to build, very tall and majestic, the circumference is as long as 4,520 steps, four feet high and eight feet, the city wall is rammed with rice slurry mud, the blade is difficult to enter, there are wooden arrow towers every 100 steps on the palace city wall and there is a powerful bed crossbow placed on the tower, each arrow tower is held high and connected with several strings of lanterns, the inside and outside of the palace city wall are illuminated as if it were day, there are forbidden soldiers and soldiers patrolling back and forth between the arrow towers, and the guard is extremely strict.
