Chapter 135: Jingping in Troubled Times
Before approaching the small courtyard, a sad aura had dispersed, Cao Ziheng was slightly stunned, life and death could feel all kinds of power breath, Zhang Dan's breath had an obvious official aura, and it was enough to surprise Cao Ziheng by distinguishing it from the simple martial arts aura of Wu Xingyun and others.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere of this small courtyard is even more weird, it is a strange atmosphere formed by the interweaving of countless negative emotions.
Cao Ziheng could even feel the helplessness and despair and desolation in these breaths.
"When the official family was in power, he worked hard, and he won many victories abroad, and he was a rare king of Zhongxing in my Great Song Dynasty, and the ministers of the court and the interior of the court had great expectations for the official family, and when Wang Xiang and Wen Zhonggong were alive, whether they praised or disapproved of the official reform, they had deep confidence in the official family."
Zhang Dian followed Cao Ziheng's side, seemed to sense Cao Ziheng's feelings, and explained indifferently.
Next to him, Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui's faces were calm, but Qiao Feng's face was moved, he was from the rivers and lakes, and he was not familiar with the imperial court, but he fought with foreign races in the border areas all the year round, and he was also very familiar with the movements of the imperial army.
In recent years, the army of the Song Dynasty has indeed been active and abnormal, whether it is to the Western Xia or the Khitan, but it has never shown weakness, which is a rare tough stage in the Great Song Dynasty since a hundred years.
Originally, Qiao Feng didn't think much about it, but now he understands that everything was originally because of the people in this courtyard.
Zhang Dian led a few people to the entrance of the courtyard, and the two eunuchs immediately greeted them, and at the same time, Cao Ziheng felt more than a dozen strong momentum instantly locked on their group.
Obviously, this courtyard is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, seemingly calm, but secretly I don't know how tightly guarded it is.
"The prince of the three kings is here to treat the official family."
Zhang Dian patiently explained to the eunuch, but when he first said the prince of the three kings, suddenly, I don't know how many figures rushed out.
Each of these figures was extremely fast, and Cao Ziheng felt it carefully, but it was the eunuchs who were guarding when Zhao Xu led him to the death of the students, and it could also be said that it was the deepest hidden wave of warriors in the Zhao Song Palace.
"Okay, you dare to come back."
A sad old woman's voice sounded in the distance, the crowd slowly dispersed, and the figure of the Empress Dowager Gao appeared in the small courtyard, the old lady's face was hideous at this time, and the hair on her head was half pale.
Cao Ziheng was slightly shocked in his heart, to be honest, he didn't like the Empress Dowager Gao, but he still admired this old lady very much, this is a strong woman.
Although she can't compare to Wu Zetian, she is definitely one of the strongest women in the land of China, and she is not known how many times stronger than Cixi in later generations.
And now, this strong woman has only been seen for a short period of time, and her hair is half white, obviously, this time has been an unimaginable event.
"Something happened."
Cao Ziheng frowned and looked at Zhang Dian, but the latter's face was also inexplicable, and suddenly, Cao Ziheng's heart sank, since Zhang Duan was able to walk the palace freely, his official position must not be low, and now even Zhang Duan didn't know what was going on, and this matter would definitely not be small.
"Take down this traitor for me."
Empress Dowager Gao shouted loudly, Cao Ziheng's heart shook again, rebel thief, these four words are not shouted casually, especially in the royal family, unless it is a rebellion, where can it be called a rebellion.
It's just that he rebelled or something, when did he do something that would cause people to have such a misunderstanding.
All around, those black shadows swarmed up, Cao Ziheng's hands were slightly wrong, and the violent energy immediately gushed out, shaking the black shadows that rushed around him.
The corners of Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui's mouths flashed with sneers, both of them were the top masters of the Carefree Sect, but they were deflated by Qiao Feng's hands before, and then they were shocked by Cao Ziheng's ascension speed, which can be called a metamorphosis, and it can be said that they have never been so aggrieved in their lives.
Now that he has the opportunity, where will he keep his hand, at the moment, the four arms of the two of them waved, and one by one the black shadows were knocked out by the two like playing tennis.
Fortunately, the two of them finally knew that Cao Ziheng had not thought of rebellion, so after all, his subordinates were a little merciful, and those black shadows were just sent flying, but they were not hurt too much.
"What the hell is going on?"
Cao Ziheng's face was ugly, and he kept knocking those black shadows flying over, these black shadows were extremely fast, although the attack was not strong, but it was extremely annoying, after hundreds of attacks, Cao Ziheng finally couldn't bear to be bothered, and suddenly the power of life and death surged out between his hands.
The furious aura exploded in an instant, and the entire stiffness of the black shadows that rushed in was in mid-air, densely packed like a black sesame crystal cluster, and in the next second, the crystal cluster exploded entirely, and the black shadow flew out in an instant.
"You're really going to kill them all, Xu'er is your brother."
Empress Dowager Gao ignored the black shadows that flew out upside down and walked slowly towards Cao Ziheng, the old lady was stumbling slightly at the moment, but her pace was extremely calm, and she approached Cao Ziheng step by step.
"Zhao Xu, sixth brother, what's wrong with him."
Cao Ziheng's face changed drastically, and he made contact with Zhao Xu, but Cao Ziheng knew that Zhao Xu was a hawkish emperor who was tougher than Zhao Xu, and if he saved Zhao Xu, he might have hope of destroying Western Xia and Khitan, but if the successor continued to be weak, the Great Song Dynasty still couldn't change the fate of being destroyed.
Cao Ziheng knew that there was one of the most terrifying tribes in history rising in Northern Mongolia at this moment.
If the Great Song Dynasty could not completely reverse the weak national situation, even if the Western Xia and Khitan were temporarily destroyed, they would inevitably be destroyed by the Mongols in the future.
Although, at that time, it was no longer important for Cao Ziheng's task, but Cao Ziheng was still unbearable for such a thing.
"Xu'er passed on your life and death, why are you okay, but Xu'er has been, has ............."
Empress Dowager Gao looked at Cao Ziheng tremblingly, in fact, the old lady was a shrewd person, she understood that the matter had nothing to do with Cao Ziheng when Zhao Xu had an accident, but she couldn't accept this matter for a while.
"Come with me, go see Xu'er, and then go back and let your father and mother come to see me."
Empress Dowager Gao's eyes showed a gloomy look, and then her eyes became firm, Cao Ziheng was slightly stunned, and then thought of something, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The old lady is preparing to set up a reserve.
Zhao Xu is now about forty years old, Zhao Xu is in his teens, and further down, Zhao Xu's eldest brother is not more than ten years old, this age is naturally unable to pro-government, then, this child needs the support of Zhao Xu's brother when he ascends the throne.
"The sixth brother is still saved, not only the sixth brother, but also the official family."
Cao Ziheng took a deep breath and looked at the Empress Dowager Gao with clear eyes, "The reason why I was able to be okay is because I got the way to be treated, and the people I brought this time are the people who can treat the official family and the sixth brother." ”
"What you say is true."
Empress Dowager Gao turned around suddenly, this old lady certainly cares about power, but the lives of her son and grandson are in danger, and power or something can be put aside for the time being.
"This is a master of the Carefree Sect, he is now over ninety years old, and his cultivation can just make up for the life and death of my Zhao family."
Cao Ziheng let go of Wu Xingyun, the Loose Sect is indeed a magical sect, Wu Xingyun is in his nineties and looks like he is thirty or forty years old at most, Empress Dowager Gao looked at Wu Xingyun with a suspicious look in her eyes.
More than ninety years old, not to mention this era, even the later generations are the top longevity, the so-called well-maintained in the later generations, and the charm can still exist in their sixties, most of them are also smeared with cosmetics, where can they be compared with Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui.
This is the appearance of a real thirty or forty-year-old.
"This is the queen of Li Yuanhao in Western Xia."
Looking at the gaze of the Empress Dowager Gao, Cao Ziheng smiled slightly, in fact, it is really difficult to explain the identities of Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui, not to mention that the Empress Dowager Gao is not a person in the martial arts, even if she is a person in the martial arts, there are definitely not many people who have heard of the Easy School.
Lee Won-ho's empress.
Empress Dowager Gao's eyes froze, where might the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty not know Li Yuanhao, and she may not know much about Li Yuanhao's harem, but she still knows about Li Yuanhao's queen.
"Princess, come here."
Empress Dowager Gao raised her hand to the side to beckon, in the crowd, an old eunuch squeezed out of the crowd, but it was the palace responsible for the management of classics.
Li Yuanhao's queen naturally has information in the Great Song Palace.
The prince came to the Empress Dowager Gao's side in small steps, and carefully looked at Li Qiushui, the appearance of Li Qiushui and Li Canghai is indeed rare in the world, the prince is responsible for the collection of classics, and he has naturally seen these materials many times on weekdays, and at this moment, when he saw Li Qiushui at a glance, his face was stunned.
"This, this, I didn't hide the Queen Mother."
The prince was dumbfounded, Li Qiushui's appearance was unparalleled, but some scars were scratched on his face, just like some flaws appeared on the jade, but these flaws not only did not hurt Li Qiushui's beauty, but added some charm.
With such a face, even if the prince watched the information of the Khitan and Western Xia every day, and was in the Great Song Palace, he had seen countless beauties, but he was also very impressed.
"I really didn't hide the Queen Mother."
The prince looked at it carefully, then took two steps back, and saluted respectfully, although she was the queen mother of the enemy country, but after all, she was also the queen mother, but it was not something that a eunuch could offend.
"The Xiaoyao faction, it turns out that there is such a magical sect in this world, and Li Yuanhao was able to be called the emperor back then, and it was not the credit of the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Gao sighed slightly, and suddenly stared at Li Qiushuidao.
This question was asked very suddenly, even Cao Ziheng didn't think about it, and when he suddenly heard this question, Cao Ziheng was also shocked in his heart, and then vaguely felt that it was really the case.
Western Xia was definitely not strong at the beginning, before Li Yuanhao, and even when Li Yuanhao first became the leader of the party clan, the Great Song Dynasty still pressed the Western Xia, and the Western Xia also surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and it was not until Li Yuanhao ascended the throne that the Western Xia began to become stronger.
Of course, according to historical records, Li Yuanhao was able to establish Western Xia with the help of scholars who forgot their ancestors in the Han Dynasty.
However, this world is a world of martial arts, and Li Yuanhao's establishment of Western Xia may not have relied on the strong force brought by Li Qiushui.
You must know that the three elders of Xiaoyao, there is no simple one, Wu Xingyun don't say it, the power of the Vulture Palace dominates the martial arts, and there are also a few disciples under Wuyazi, if Ding Chunqiu is not a rebellion, Wuyazi's power is also very great, and it is obviously impossible for Li Qiushui to say that there is no power, at least the Wuxianggong used by Gu Mozhi is Li Qiushui's lineage.
"I have decided to cooperate with the prince of the Three Kings to destroy Western Xia."
Li Qiushui laughed, and the faces of many ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty around him changed dramatically, can you say such words here.
"All stand down, Zhang Dian, Zhang Qi............ Wait for the nine ministers to stay, and the others will retreat fifty meters, and those who dare to approach at will will be complicit in rebellion. ”
Empress Dowager Gao's eyes were sharp, this old lady didn't know martial arts, but the momentum she showed at this moment was much stronger than the top masters, and those guards retreated one after another under the order of Empress Dowager Gao.
"Queen Mother, you talk to the Queen Mother first, and I will take Wu Xingyun's seniors to save the official's family and the sixth brother."
Cao Ziheng smiled and said, he knew that there were many aspects involved in such a thing as the destruction of Western Xia, and Empress Dowager Gao and Li Qiushui must have a lot to talk about.
Don't think that Li Qiushui is a martial arts figure and doesn't understand politics, in fact, Li Qiushui has been the Empress Dowager of Western Xia for decades, and she is definitely no stranger to politics.
"Who is this......?"
Empress Dowager Gao groaned slightly, looked at Qiao Feng, obviously, even at this time, Empress Dowager Gao was not so excited that she got carried away, and still noticed Qiao Feng, a stranger.
"Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang, once led the heroes of the beggar gang to kill the Western Xia generals and Khitan generals several times, making the war between the two countries against the Great Song Dynasty end without a hitch."
Cao Ziheng stretched out his hand and winked at the Empress Dowager Gao with his back to Qiao Feng, he knew that the latter would definitely be able to pay attention to what he meant.
"You take him and Wu Xingyun's predecessors to meet the sixth brother and the official family first, the third family, the queen mother pleases you."
Empress Dowager Gao sighed and nodded at Cao Ziheng, Empress Dowager Gao is known for her stubborn temper, and being able to say such words from the third family is obviously a great expectation for Cao Ziheng.
"Don't worry, I guarantee that the official family and the sixth brother are fine, and I still want to follow them to create a magnificent and prosperous era of my Zhao and Song Dynasty."
Cao Ziheng nodded confidently, and then strode towards the back.
This small courtyard is extremely elegant, but it is not big, there are only a few rooms in it, in the palace, such a courtyard is not small, but the format is very similar, and it can be regarded as a means of preventing assassins in Zhao Song, a very civilian means.
In the small courtyard, the two rooms were close together, and Zhao Ji and Zhao Xu were lying in one of them, and in order to facilitate the care, the two were not separated.
Cao Ziheng walked in slowly with Wu Xingyun, but Qiao Feng stopped at the door, although this is the palace, Qiao Feng is still very consciously responsible for the task of protecting the law. (To be continued.) )
