Chapter 1 Thunderstorm Afternoon Unexpected Crossing

Next Chapter

In the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124 A.D.), on the evening of March 18, Bianjing City suddenly felt lightning and thunder, the wind was fierce, the trees swayed with the wind, and the doors of the palace of the inner court of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty shook and made a slight "squeak" sound. Suddenly, in the dark night sky, a strong electric light crossed, followed by a loud "clang" sound, and the shining arc rushed down from the black clouds, shooting straight into the direction of the East Palace Prince's Mansion in the northeast corner of the inner city of the palace, and then disappeared, and the night also returned to its usual tranquility and silence. Standing from a distance, the lightning just now seemed to shoot like a fine light from a dark cloud, hitting the direction of the East Palace of the Prince's Mansion in the northeast corner of the Imperial Palace.

In the northeast corner of the inner city of Bianjing, the figure of the prince's east palace moved, under the dim octagonal candlestick lamp, the imperial physician Xu Shuwei was sitting in front of a rosewood bed with his eyes slightly closed, and the yellow curtain representing the royal symbol on both sides of the bed had been tied, only to see that Imperial Physician Xu had slightly enlarged his leg with one hand, and the other hand touched a silk thread, his expression was very serious, and the other end of the silk thread was tied to the right wrist of the young man lying on the bed, the young man's eyes were closed, his thick eyebrows gradually rose upward, and the gray lips under the big and straight nose were closed. The slight sound of breathing made the surroundings even more serious and tense. After a long time, I saw that Imperial Physician Xu's eyes opened slightly, he exhaled a deep breath as if relieved, nodded slowly and stood up gently, took a small step forward with his left foot and left the stool, and gently retreated towards the rosewood bed, and slowly withdrew from the room, for fear of waking up and disturbing the man on the bed.

Outside the bedroom is a hall, only to see the antique table and chair coffee table in the hall, all of which are oily rosewood, at a glance it is the furnishings of the royal nobles, the table and chair coffee table is U-shaped, there is a dignified and beautiful young woman sitting on the master's seat at this time, her expression is very nervous and uneasy, her eyes are closed, as if she is constantly praying, there are several palace maids and young maids (eunuchs) holding Buddha dust in her hands, and there are many maids standing in the middle of the hall, they all hold red trays in their hands, On the tray are a variety of fruits, soups and soup cans.

Seeing Imperial Physician Xu exit the bedroom, he gently closed the bedroom door, and the young woman in the master's seat suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Imperial Physician Xu eagerly. Hearing what the imperial physician said, the crown princess breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said to the imperial doctor: Imperial Physician Xu, please get up, you have to work.

Imperial Physician Xu bent down and replied: The crown princess is polite, and the lower official will go back to prescribe a few pairs of medicines, and after the prince wakes up, he will adjust his body. The crown princess nodded, and asked the maid to follow Imperial Doctor Xu to the medical officer's bureau to get the medicine. Here he said to a few young chamberlains: Thank the emperor Hongfu, the prince is currently fine, and he will return to his father and the queen according to the truth, and then march into the palace to greet the emperor and the queen when the prince's body is well. The chamberlain bent down and saluted, and when he got out of the gate of the prince's mansion, he trotted all the way to the inner court Funing Palace.

After a while, I saw the young man lying in the bedroom with a slight movement of his right finger, his eyes slightly opened, and everything that came into view of him felt so strange. Looking at the bed in front of me and the octagonal candlesticks in front of it, curtains, accessories, etc., I thought, where am I? Could it be that this is an antique homestay in Lijiang, Yunnan? At this time, I felt that my brain was completely insufficient, so I slowly propped my arms back, sat up slowly, and coughed involuntarily.

Suddenly, I saw that the bedroom door was gently pushed open, and then a group of people came in outside the door, and the one who walked in front was a young beauty in ancient costume, followed by a group of young men and women. At this time, I instinctively reacted and grabbed the quilt next to me with both hands, and then moved my body into the bed, thinking: I am dizzy, what is the situation. Looking at the young man with a bewildered face, the young woman led by him walked to the bed, leaned over with tears in her eyes and said: Prince, you woke up, you really scared me just now, do you want to eat something?

I'm completely in a fog now, what? Prince? Immediately recalled their own affairs, I am a business salesman, remember at noon just in the street Lanzhou ramen restaurant to eat beef noodles out, want to visit customers, the road suddenly lightning thunder, the sky immediately darkened, feel is the rhythm of thundershowers, quickly run along the street, followed by heavy rain, I hid under a big tree, suddenly only heard a "clang" sound, a big lightning in the northeast rushed to the tree where I was, I suddenly felt a light in front of my eyes, then it was dark, I don't know anything behind, Wake up and that's it.

Looking at the layout and furnishings of this room and the title of the prince just now, is it really a crossing, or a prince of the prince, I damn it, this is too. Looking at the people in front of me, I was pulled back into reality, thinking that it was better to deal with the past first, and when I thought of this, I said: Ahem, I'm really a little hungry. Seeing me say this, the people who followed behind put the food in their hands on the table, looked at the various fruits and soup cans on the table, but they were embarrassed to go down to eat directly, so they pretended to shake their heads and said: I seem to feel a little drowsy in my head, you stand down, let me rest for a while.

When I said this, I saw the young woman in the lead wave her hand back, and the people behind bent down and said yes, and then rushed out of the bedroom. At this time, I was left in the room with the young woman who was the leader, and at this time my heart was calmed down, and the tension just now was eased a little, so I looked at the woman by the candlelight, and saw that the tender peach was indeed beautiful like a face and waist like a willow, and at this time my stomach was rumbling in protest, so I got up and got out of bed and came to the table, looking at this tempting food, and ate and drank regardless of the image. The young woman on the side was stunned.

While eating, I thought, since I have crossed, I am still the prince, I have to ask which dynasty and which generation it is, if I don't know it, I will be embarrassed and thrown home, this trouble will be a goof, and it will be troublesome for people to be confined as a neuropath, thinking of this, I asked the young woman on the side: How long have I been sleeping, and what year is it now? Hearing me ask such a low-level and boring question, the young woman's face was suddenly full of surprise, and she was stunned for a moment before replying: "Prince Qiqi, today is the eighteenth day of March in the sixth year of Xuanhe.

After listening to it, I put down the food in my hand, and I didn't even have the desire to eat. Isn't this Xuanhe era name the last of the six era names of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty? Song Huizong can be regarded as the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Xuanhe is only seven years, and it is immediately Jingkang Yuanyuan, and the second year of Jingkang is the famous Jingkang change in history.

The change of Jingkang, also known as the rebellion of Jingkang, the difficulty of Jingkang, the disaster of Jingkang, the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Northern Song Dynasty (the third year of Jintianhui, 1125), the Jin army divided the east and west to attack the Song Dynasty. The eastern route was completed by Yan Zongwang and led the army to attack Yanjing. The western route was finished, and Yan Zonghan led the army to Taiyuan directly. The Jin soldiers on the east road broke Yanjing, crossed the Yellow River, and went south to Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan). Song Huizong saw that the situation was in danger, and Nai Chan was located in the crown prince Zhao Huan, which was for Song Qinzong. In the first month of the first year of Jingkang (the fourth year of Jin Tianhui, 1126), Wanyan Zonghan led the Jin soldiers to the East Route Army to enter Bianjing City, forcing Song Yihe to withdraw the army, and the Jin people demanded 5 million taels of gold and 50 million taels of silver, and ceded the three towns of Zhongshan, Hejian and Taiyuan. In August of the same year, the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty on two more fronts; In leap November, the Jin and Jin Route armies joined forces to conquer Bianjing. Song Qinzong personally went to the Jin military camp to negotiate peace and was detained by the Jin. In addition to the second emperor of Huiqin, there were a large number of Zhao royal family, harem concubines, guiqing, courtiers, a total of more than 3,000 people went north to the Jin Kingdom, the public and private savings in Tokyo were empty, and the Jingkang Revolution led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Run March 18, isn't this the famous Jingshi earthquake in the late Northern Song Dynasty? The prince, then I am not the eldest son Zhao Huan, Song Huizong dozens of children in Zhenghe five years (1115) set up the eldest son Zhao Huan as the prince, Xuanhe seven years (1125), worship Kaifeng Mu, soon by Song Huizong Zen let ascend the throne, changed to Yuan Jingkang. According to the historical trend, Jingkang's change was detained by the Jin people and was escorted to the north, in the spring of Shaoxing 31 years (Southern Song Dynasty 1161), the gold lord Wan Yan Liang ordered Song Qinzong and the late Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi to play polo, in the game the gold lord Wan Yan Liang first let people shoot Yelu Yanxi, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was shocked when he saw this, fell off the horse, and then was shot to death by random arrows, and the body was also trampled by the horse, at the age of 60.

I'll go, even if it's a little prince who crosses the people, it's good now, although you are the prince, but you are about to lose the country, and after a year and three months as the chairman of the Great Song Company, you have to be a prisoner of the Jinren, and then be insulted by all kinds of insults, and finally trampled to death by the iron hooves of the chaotic horses. From the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124 AD) to November of the second year of Jingkang (1127 AD), it was three years and nine months. It's too brutal, others have crossed over to be the emperor, the prince, enjoy the happiness of the world, I have crossed a Jingkang change, during which I was also half dead by various civil ministers and military generals, the key is also a Song Huizong father who can do everything, only can not be the king's ear, Jingkang's change has been scolded by later generations for thousands of years, weak Song, hey...... It's also too brutal.

Then he looked at the young woman in front of him, the crown princess is Zhu Lian, the daughter of Zhu Bocai, the envoy of the Wukang Army, since he has figured out the identity of the crossing at this time, it is also a good thing, looking at the worried eyes of the princess Zhu Lian in front of him, I first comforted: Don't worry, concubine, this prince has just woken up, his body is still a little uncomfortable, and his head is still groggy, he may have been a little distracted just now, and his speech is also hazy, I believe that he will be fine if he rests well.

Hearing me say this, recalling that the imperial doctor also said this just now, Zhu Lian was a lot relieved, and then replied with an innocent and bright smile: The prince is fine, look at the prince just now, I am indeed a little worried, tonight is also a coincidence, I heard that the prince was watching the goldfish, suddenly the dragon turned over (earthquake), a small fish tank fell, touched the prince's forehead, and then the prince you fainted, after I heard it, I hurriedly sent someone to ask the imperial doctor, and at the same time made a report to my father and the queen, Fortunately, just now, Imperial Doctor Xu came to check the pulse of the prince and said that the prince was fine. I ordered someone to go back to the emperor and the queen, my father was really worried about the safety of the prince, and after hearing about it, he sent three chamberlains to guard the prince's mansion, and reported the situation at any time. I guess I've also received the news that you're okay, Prince.

I felt a lot at this time when the princess Zhu Lian said this, and suddenly realized the warmth of being cared for, I used to run business, running around for three meals all day long, the salary was not enough to pay back, the bonuses were all paid to the rent, the glory of the king skin was reluctant to buy, the girlfriend was afraid to talk, and the single dog still felt pressured to support himself. At this time, there was suddenly so much concern from so many people, and at this time, a warm current slowly rose in my heart. involuntarily said to Zhu Lian: Concubine Ai has worked hard.

Hearing me say this, Zhu Lian replied: The prince is serious, these are what I should do. The prince has a good rest first, just now the earth dragon turned over, and her daughter Princess Roujia and son Zhao Chen are still frightened, I will go over and see them now. I nodded hurriedly, and Zhu Lian left.

I sat alone at the table, thinking back to just now, I still felt that everything was too sudden, life is really impermanent, the large intestine encloses the small intestine. If you come here, let it be safe. If the history books are correct, more than a year later, it will be the Jin soldiers who besiege the Jingshi, and then they will give money to buy peace, cut the land and apologize, and then they will be besieged and captured again....... Insulted, the whole family was humiliated, until they were trampled to death by a chaotic horse! But what can I do? I'm a businessman, the level of education is not high, the martial arts are not good, the strategy is not visionary, the tactics are too profound, the economy is not understood, the profession is not, the management is more sloppy, I am familiar with history and have a little interest in culture and art.

I suddenly remembered that the great Commissar Mao said that fighting with the sky is endless: open your mind, imagine infinitely, and you can do what you want. Fight the ground for fun: climb the peaks, challenge the limits, and exercise is exciting. Fighting with others is endless: there is no first, there is no second, and competition can break through oneself. is also a prince and general, rather a kind? I tried my best to search my brain for the memory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then counted on my fingers that the advantages of the Northern Song Dynasty were a vast territory, a prosperous economy, advanced black technology (the three major inventions), sufficient grain and grass (Suhu was ripe all over the world), and hundreds of millions of subjects...... The disadvantages of the Northern Song Dynasty were political corruption, the administrative system was rigid, the civil officials were unscrupulous, the military attachés were afraid of death, the armament was lax, the traitors were in power, extravagance and waste, luxury and impetuousness...... With the favorable conditions of the identity of the crown prince and the perspective of God, if you take advantage of the advantages of the Northern Song Dynasty and improve the current disadvantages of the Northern Song Dynasty, maybe there is still a chance to avoid repeating the mistakes of Jingkang's change, well, just do it, do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, and work hard, salesman youth!
