Chapter Eighty-Four: Dead Song (Essence!) The essence of the duck, very important to see)
Xiao Zi let the hand holding the fan pause.
You won't think that way in the future.
But he didn't say anything, just smiled faintly.
Hua Xiangrong didn't say anything, and after he finished lunch, the two went out of the inn to Guanyue Lake, along the way, she simply told him about the conversation with Wu Hongyan yesterday, and also told him her conjecture about her life experience.
Xiao Zirang listened to her and didn't interject.
Today, when she is in Shen, she will send the knot to the Wu Mansion, and the role of this hanging ear will be gone.
She can only start with Wu Yuesong to investigate her background now, no matter what is found out in the end, she has prepared for the worst.
"Regarding the fall of the Song Kingdom, I heard a rumor." After listening to her say all this, Xiao Zirang pondered for a while and said, "There was once a traitor in the Song Dynasty. β
Hua Xiangrong couldn't digest the news for a long time, and then asked him: "It's been thirty years, where did you hear about this rumor?" β
"Although the territory of the Song State has become the territory of the Qi State, there are still many people who remember the battle of the country thirty years ago." Xiao Zi said, "Many old people still have some feelings for the Song Kingdom, after the destruction of the Song Kingdom thirty years ago, in Yuan'an, the capital of the Song Kingdom, there was a lot of rumors about this traitor, of course I could inquire about it." β
Hua Xiang was silent.
"When the Song Kingdom fell, it was at the height of the Song Kingdom." Xiao Zirang began to say something to Hua Xiangrong that she didn't know, "The then King Zhao of Song was a very ambitious king, and the Song Kingdom under his rule developed rapidly, the population increased greatly, and the army was also very strong. Think about it, if there were no other reasons, why did the Qi State choose to destroy the Song State at that time? β
"The State of Qi wants to expand its territory, and the State of Song bears the brunt." Hua Xiangrong also said, "And the Song State is not as good as the current situation of defending the country, and no country will send troops to support the destruction of the Song Dynasty by the Qi State." In my opinion, this is also in line with the general trend of the world. β
Xiao Zirang chuckled lightly and said, "You can see it thoroughly." But the Song Kingdom thirty years ago was not easy to destroy. If it weren't for the fact that King Zhao of Song ruled the country well, and the Song Kingdom was prosperous and peaceful, then why would there still be so many descendants of the Song Dynasty who died today? β
Hua Xiangrong lowered his eyes, sighed, and said, "I know what you want to say." Thirty years ago, although the Qi State had strength, but it was still far inferior to now, if the Qi State did not have absolute certainty, it would never rashly send troops to attack the Song State, which was strong at that time. β
"Although the Song State was a small country, its rule won the hearts of the people. When the State of Qi first sent troops to the Song State, it was defeated and retreated. Xiao Zirang paused before he said, "But suddenly, the Song Kingdom began to be defeated. In just ten days, the State of Qi captured Shangqiu, and King Zhao of Song sent someone to hand over the peace book, which was torn up by the King of Qi. However, in January, the Song Kingdom fell. β
"Therefore, the absolute certainty of the Qi State is that it is a traitor from within the Song State." Hua Xiangrong answered, "And this traitor is positioned as a high authority, otherwise he won't be able to give Qi Guo such a big boost." β
"That's right." Xiao Zi said, "It is only rumored that on the day the Qi army entered Yuan'an, the traitor revealed his identity, and King Song Zhao personally killed him in the main hall. The palace officials who had escaped from the palace spread the news to the people, but no one knew who the traitor was. β
Hua Xiangrong was stunned.
"On the day of the destruction of the Song Kingdom, hundreds of people knelt on the side of the street and wept for it." Xiao Zirang said again, "Thirty years ago, the Song State should not have been exhausted, but because this traitor and the Qi State should be in harmony with the outside, the Song Kingdom was destroyed. After the destruction of the Song Dynasty, the Qi State obtained Shangqiu, Yuan'an and Wuzhen, which are famous as the commercial towns of the Six Kingdoms, and the strength of the Qi State increased greatly, so that it has today's prosperity. β
Hua Xiangrong smiled bitterly, sat down beside Guanyue Lake, and said: "If Wu Yuesong is really such a loyal and patriotic person as rumored, then he tried every means to kill me, it must be related to the traitor who caused the destruction of the Song Kingdom thirty years ago, and it is also possible...... I am his junior. β
"Perhaps." Xiao Zi gave way.
"What kind of high-ranking officials with the surname of Song Guo are there?" Hua Xiangrong asked.
"I don't know," Xiao Zirang replied, "it is difficult for you to know the old ministry of the Song State thirty years ago, unless you can find the documents and Guan Ce of the Song State at that time, or one of the officials of the Song State and the palace people personally asked him. But when the State of Qi entered Yuan'an, everything related to the State of Song was cleared. The old ministers of the Song Kingdom, the dead died, the fleeing, the obedient, the secluded, except for Wu Yuesong, you shouldn't be able to find anyone. β
"But Wu Yuesong won't tell me." Hua Xiangrong sighed and said, "When he sees me, he just wants to kill me, maybe he will tell me the truth before killing me, so that I can die and understand." β
Xiao Zirang heard her words, laughed a few times, shook his head slightly, and said, "But I still have a way." β
Hua Xiangrong had some energy again, and said busily: "Come and listen." β
"It's just that it's hard." Xiao Zi gave way.
"It's better to walk hard than to have no way out." Hua Xiangrong can only say.
"Since the founding of the State of Qi, there has been a system, whenever a war has been experienced, the beginning and end of the war and a document must be written and sorted out in detail, and then all the boxes are sealed and put in the secret letter room." Xiao Zirang said carefully, "And the battle of Qi and Song, such as the battle of Qi and Song, will definitely be recorded here." All the secrets and correspondence leaked by the traitor to the Qi State will also be put into the box of the Battle of Qi and Song. β
Hua Xiangrong raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you asking me to steal the secrets of the Qi Kingdom?" β
Xiao Zi let out a "poof" and laughed out loud.
"I think I might as well send my head directly to Wu Yuesong and beg him to tell me the truth, why bother to go all the way to Qi to find death?" Hua Xiangrong continued to tease.
"Then I can't help it." Xiao Zirang answered sincerely.
Hua Xiangrong muttered, "It's boring." β
Xiao Zirang just smiled.
"By the way," Hua Xiangrong suddenly remembered something, raised her head and asked, "Where did Wu Yuesong go?" Why aren't you in Yangchuan these days? β
Fortunately, he is not in Yangchuan, otherwise how sad would his life be?
"I don't know." Xiao Zi said, "Aren't you going to go to the Wu Mansion to send Ansui later, you can try to see if you can get any words out of Wu Hongya's mouth." β
Oh yes.
She's going to Wu Mansion.
"If you send it to it, Miss Rong is still trustworthy." Wu Hongyan held the knot Ansui sent by Hua Xiangrong in her hand, looked at it carefully and made sure it was right, and then said happily.
Wu Panzhi can be regarded as saved.
"That's nature." Hua Xiangrong said, "If Miss Wu Sun is fine, I will leave first." β
"Don't, wait." She hung the knot in her hand to her waist, and then stopped Hua Xiangrong and said, "Since you are so trustworthy, then I naturally have to show a little." You don't want money, so I'll keep you for dinner. β
Hua Xiangrong heard this, slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and only said, "Okay." β
