Chapter 357: Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Gou meet each other (ask for a monthly pass!) )
…
When Zhao Gou woke up, he found that the others were already on the ship to Yingtianfu in Nanjing.
Together with Zhao Gou, they were escorted to the Four Kingdoms City of Yingtianfu in Nanjing, as well as the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song dynasties in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region.
The royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song dynasties in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region were responsible for escorting Zhao Gou and other royal families and clans in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, with 3,000 elite cavalry, 3,000 musketeers from the Shenji Battalion, and 3,000 East China Sea troops.
With this escort force, even if it is 350,000 elite Song troops, it will not be able to intercept the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty in Zhao Gou and other Sichuan-Shaanxi regions.
After figuring out his own situation, Zhao Gou looked up to the sky and sighed: "Not a drop of water leaks!" ”
Zhao Gou finally fully understood that he was not the opponent of the thoughtful Li Cun at all, and Li Cun would never give him or anyone from their Zhao clan a chance to turn the tables.
Lost!
Totally lost!
Zhao Gou's heart was full of remorse!
Zhao Gou felt that when he had the opportunity to fight with Li Cun, he chose cowardice, chose to escape, and even desperately cowardly, desperate to escape, and now when he wanted to change his former wrongs, no longer cowardly, no longer evade and bravely challenged Li Cun, Li Cun put away the card table and stopped playing with him, not only that, Li Cun also abolished him and threw him into the eighteenth layer of hell, so that he would never have the opportunity to turn over.
Zhao Gou's heart jumped into the Grand Canal to end his miserable life, and it can be regarded as a martyrdom for the Zhao and Song dynasties.
Not to mention that the people guarding Zhao Gou took turns staring at Zhao Gou twenty-four hours a day without interruption, and they didn't give Zhao Gou a chance to commit suicide at all, taking a step back, even if the people guarding Zhao Gou didn't care about letting Zhao Gou commit suicide, Zhao Gou, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, did not have the courage to commit suicide.
After recognizing the nature of his submissiveness, Zhao Gou himself looked down on himself.
But the nature of the country is easy to change, Zhao Gou is a weak coward in his bones, and he can't change himself at all.
Slowly, Zhao Gou, who finally accepted that he couldn't do anything by himself, could only choose to lie down in resignation.
And Zhao Gou, who persuaded him to steal peace by himself, was quickly relieved: "Li Thief is as cunning as a lemur, fierce as a tiger and wolf, bowing to the armor, in order to determine the country, every last resort, there is no soldier left, destroy Liao and my Great Song Dynasty like a backhand, when Long Xing also." ”
Thinking about it this way, Zhao Gou felt that it was normal for him to lose to Li Cun, who defeated all the heroes in the world with his Tianzong capital, after all, he was just an ordinary person.
After I made peace of mind, Zhao Gou's heart was comfortable, he had long heard that Jiangnan was picturesque and pleasant, maybe it was a good place to retire.
A few days later.
Zhao Gou was escorted to the City of Four Kingdoms.
In the City of the Four Kingdoms, Zhao Gou saw many figures that he had chosen to forget a long time ago, such as his father Zhao Ji, who didn't like him, and his brother Zhao Huan, who asked him to send him to death, as well as many brothers and clansmen who were not close to him at all.
What Zhao Gou didn't expect was that the complexion of Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and other royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty was not as bad as he imagined, on the contrary, Zhao Huan and many royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty were still fat.
Seeing this, Zhao Gou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his future life in the city of the four countries might not be so bad.
Zhao Gou knew that what he had done before might cause resentment from Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and other royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty, so as soon as he arrived in Siguo City, Zhao Gou wanted to visit Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, and took the initiative to explain why he didn't save them when he saw them die before.
No, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan didn't come out at all, giving Zhao Gou a chance to meet them.
In addition, Zhao Gou is not familiar with the Four Kingdoms City.
Zhao Gou could only go to his residence with the steward of the Four Kingdoms City first, and settle down first.
What Zhao Gou never expected was that as soon as he left, Zhao Gou's two elder brothers, Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu, came over.
At first, Zhao Gou was quite happy, thinking that Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu were here to pick up the wind and wash the dust for his younger brother.
Who knows, as soon as the three of them met, before Zhao Gou's hypocritical greetings, Zhao Kai smashed a punch into Zhao Gou's face, and Zhao Xu kicked Zhao Gou's stomach with red eyes.
Zhao Kai had a total of five wives and concubines (this only refers to those with titles), six sons, and six daughters, all of whom were arrested when Li Cun attacked the Song Dynasty for the second time, and all the concubines, women in the palace, and six daughters were all taken away by Li Cun.
Zhao Xu had a total of four wives and concubines (this only refers to those with titles), four sons, and seven daughters, all of whom were arrested when Li Cun attacked the Song Dynasty for the second time, and all the concubines, women in the palace, and seven daughters were also taken away by Li Cun.
At the beginning, Zhao Gou obviously had an army of nearly one million in his hands, and he was haunted near Bianliang City in Tokyo, and finally ran farther and farther.
As a result, from Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan down, the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song dynasties in Bianliang City, Tokyo were all captured alive, and then all the men were imprisoned in the city of the Four Kingdoms for eternity and never allowed to be free, and the women were all included in the harem by Li Cun and became Li Cun's playthings.
Shame!
Extinction!
The key is that the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasty all felt that they could have avoided this great humiliation and disaster, and they were pitted by Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou.
The former, war-torn and uncertain, indecisive, stupid as a pig used Guo Jing's magic stick to defend the city, and selfishly detained all the royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song dynasties in Bianliang City, Tokyo, to accompany him to suffer.
The latter, who didn't care about the life or death of his parents, concubines, five daughters, and clans, only cared about supporting troops to defend himself, resulting in the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasty in Bianliang City, Tokyo, all captured alive and allowed to be concocted by Li Cun.
Whether it is Zhao Huan or Zhao Gou, they all make the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasty hate.
Among them, Zhao Kai's resentment is the heaviest.
You must know that Zhao Kai was only a little short of missing the throne, and then the throne fell into the hands of Zhao Huan, an indecisive, ruthless, and intriguing fool, and then the throne fell into the hands of Zhao Gou, a cowardly, ruthless and unrighteous coward, who only cared about himself and did not care about the life and death of his relatives.
Since he was arrested, Zhao Kai has thought countless times that if this throne had been passed to him at the beginning, or if he could bring people into the palace that day to snatch the throne from Zhao Huan, they, the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, would never have fallen into such a miserable and humiliating end.
Zhao Kai was depressed for a while, and almost died of depression.
Later, at the request of a group of emperors (in fact, Zhao Ji asked a group of emperors to ask Li Cun), Li Cun sent people to build a Taoist temple in the city of the four countries for the spiritual sustenance of the people imprisoned in the city of the four countries, and often sent Zhang Xubai, Wang Yuncheng, Xu Zhichang, Dong Nanyun, Li Derou, Wang Chongdao, Shao Ruoyu, Wang Wenqing and other people with strong Taoism to take turns to go to the city of the four countries to preach and solve the doubts of the people imprisoned in the city of the four countries.
However, although Zhao Kai walked out of depression under the explanation of a group of Taoist priests with strong Taoism, this does not mean that Zhao Kai does not hate Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou.
In fact, since he entered the Four Kingdoms City, Zhao Kai has never said a word to Zhao Huan, and he has no contact with Zhao Huan.
Now that Zhao Gou has also come to the Four Kingdoms City, the Zhao family has completely lost the hope of recovering the country, and they, the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song dynasties, have no hope of leaving the Four Kingdoms City.
At first, Zhao Gou, who knew that he was at a loss, did not fight back, and wanted Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu to vent his anger first, and then he would explain to Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu why he didn't save him when he saw death.
But slowly, Zhao Gou felt that Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu, especially the latter, were not just angry at all, but wanted to kill him.
Under the shadow of death, Zhao Gou didn't dare to let Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu fight again.
So, Zhao Gou began to fight back.
What needs to be explained here is that Zhao Gou is a person who has been an emperor after all, so in the face of his two elder brothers who have not been emperors, he also has a psychological advantage, so he can overcome the cowardice in his bones and fight back.
Zhao Gou has practiced martial arts, and his martial arts are very high.
And Zhao Kai took the route of Zhao Ji, he was a literati through and through, although he had also practiced the art of one-click swordsmanship, but he was definitely far from being able to compare with Zhao Gou, who was strong in martial arts.
As for Zhao Xu, he is completely a pampered prince, and he is really hand-in-hand, even Zhao Kai is not as good as him, let alone Zhao Gou's opponent.
As a result, Zhao Gou defeated Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu to the ground with one enemy and two enemies.
At this time, Zhao Gou, who was played with concubines in front of him by Li Cun, castrated by Li Cun, and cut off the hope of revenge by Li Cun, also broke out, and he roared at Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu with red eyes: "Come on! Come again! Don't talk about the two of you, even if all of you go up, I can defeat them! ”
At this time, many royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song dynasties also came to Zhao Gou's residence.
Zhao Gou is so arrogant, firstly, he is really venting the grievances and frustration in his heart, and secondly, he also wants to deter the royal family and clan of other Zhao Song Dynasty, otherwise, if everyone is looking for trouble with him, then he will definitely have to let these brothers and relatives who hate him to the bone be eaten alive.
Zhao Kai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth that was beaten out by Zhao Gou, and then said while crawling up: "You are a hero, why did you hold an army of millions, but you didn't come to save the capital, causing me to wait so far?!" ”
Zhao Gou couldn't say: "I'm afraid that I will also be arrested by Li Cun like you." Nor can I say, "If I rescue you, can I still be the emperor?" ”
Zhao Gou could only say: "I have a hard time, and I will explain it to my father and brother later." ”
"Bitter? I'm afraid that those are all your ruthless and unintentional excuses! ”
Without waiting for Zhao Gou to explain, Zhao Kai, who hated Zhao Gou to death, instigated: "We are trapped here, our wives and daughters have become other people's playthings, all thanks to Zhao Gou's million-strong army and seeing death and not saving it, are you waiting for revenge?!" ”
Zhao Xu, who already hated Zhao Gou to the bone and was beaten again, also instigated: "The law does not blame the public, even if the steward knows that we beat Zhao Gou to death, he will not condemn us and others, they will all follow me, there is revenge, there is revenge and revenge!" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xu took the lead and rushed forward and continued to fight with Zhao Gou.
Seeing this, Zhao Kai also swung his fist at Zhao Gou.
With Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu's instigation and leadership, Zhao Hu'er's colt went to the ovary, crying and shouting: "Zhao Gou, you hurt me!" ”
After finishing speaking, he rushed to the ovary, and then hit Zhao Gou's waist headlong.
Then, other royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song dynasties also rushed up to beat Zhao Gou.
Not to mention that Zhao Gou's martial arts have long been abandoned, even if Zhao Gou is at his peak, he must be invincible with two fists and four hands, not to mention, among the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty, there are many people who have practiced martial arts like Zhao Gou.
Therefore, without accident, Zhao Gou was quickly beaten to the ground by the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
Zhao Gou, who was surrounded in the middle, was desperately curled up to save his life, and at the same time he was full of fear and thought: "My life is at rest!" ”
Zhao Ji has never liked Merriam-Webster.
Therefore, Zhao Gou naturally couldn't get into Zhao Ji's eyes.
When he was young, Zhao Gou, in order to get ahead, studied hard every day and practiced martial arts diligently.
However, even so, Zhao Gou did not attract Zhao Ji's attention at all.
In order to no longer be a little transparent, and in order to fight for his mother Wei's anger, when Li Cun attacked the Song Dynasty for the first time, Zhao Gou did not leave Bianliang City in Tokyo like other princes, but actively helped the new emperor Zhao Huan to defend against the enemy when the cadres besieged the city.
With Zhao Gou's desperate efforts, Zhao Huan finally began to pay attention to Zhao Gou, a younger brother he hadn't noticed before.
But Zhao Gou's efforts were not rewarded by Zhao Huan's respect, but by Zhao Huan sending him to cede land and pay compensation, and even letting him go to the military camp of the cadres as a hostage.
In times of war, being a hostage is a very dangerous thing, let alone a prince?
Zhao Ji doesn't like Zhao Gou's mother and son, and he doesn't care much about Zhao Gou's mother and son, Zhao Gou grew up in an environment where he lacked father's love and was snubbed by his clansmen since he was a child.
Zhao Huan ignored Zhao Gou's life and death and asked Zhao Gou to send him to death.
How can Zhao Gou have any true feelings with Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty?
Of course, you can also say that this is Zhao Gou's excuse, in fact, Zhao Gou is a cowardly, ruthless, unjust, selfish person, you don't see, Zhao Gou didn't even save his mother who depended on him and his concubines and daughters.
Thirdly, there is the question of the legitimacy of power.
If Zhao Gou rescued Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, even if it was just to rescue Zhao Chen, Zhao Gou would definitely be questioned as the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
In this case, Zhao Gou would only save Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty if his head was in the water.
However, for these two reasons, Zhao Gou definitely can't say it on the table, especially at this critical time.
Zhao Gou could only curl up his body and do his best to save his life, while shouting: "It's not that I don't want to rescue the capital, there are my parents, concubines, five daughters, and clansmen in the city, how can I save them, but I really couldn't do anything at that time......
Then, Zhao Gou explained to the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasty who beat him while being beaten:
Although he Zhao Gou nominally had an army of millions at that time, in fact, Fan Ne, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiang and other people who commanded the army did not listen to his dispatch at all, and Zong Ze and other people who fought in the main battle had always done their own thing and did not listen to his command, Weng Yanguo and others were waiting and watching, and the people and horses he could really control were actually less than 100,000.
And even the less than 100,000 horses that he Zhao Gou could control were mostly routs that were beaten like frightened birds by the cadres and militias gathered in a hurry.
With such an army, it is simply impossible to defeat the cadres who swept the world.
Also, at that time, he Zhao Gou didn't have any money in his hands.
Fighting a war costs money, and without money, how can those proud soldiers and warriors serve?
In addition, at that time, Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others analyzed that Li Cun should have opened a big net in the Gyeonggi area at that time, waiting for him Zhao Gou to throw himself into the net, and then wipe out their Zhao family.
Although Zhao Gou has been beaten by the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song dynasties, although Zhao Gou also knows that the people around him may not be able to hear what he says, Zhao Gou, who doesn't want to die, still tries his best to explain his distress over and over again.
At the same time, Zhao Gou was also repenting, saying that he regretted that he did not fight a decisive battle with Li Cun desperately, but considered the overall situation, and worked hard to preserve the strength of their Zhao Song Dynasty, preparing to wait for him to take back all the military power, and then prepare sufficient food and salary, and then fight a decisive battle with Li Cun to save everyone and take revenge.
I don't know if it was Zhao Gou's explanation and confession that moved Zhao Ji, or if Zhao Ji couldn't bear to let his son be beaten to death in front of him, just when Zhao Gou was about to lose it, Zhao Ji finally spoke: "Stop." ”
As Zhao Ji's words ended, Zhao Qi, Cai Yan and dozens of other royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty stepped forward and pulled away the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty who beat Zhao Gou one by one.
At the same time, the officers and men of the cadres and soldiers who were in charge of the security of the city of Shikoku also rushed over in full armor.
Zhao Gou picked up a small life at this time.
Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Ji with grateful eyes.
In fact, what Zhao Gou said just now was mainly to Zhao Ji.
- Zhao Gou is very smart, he understands that among these people present, the only person who can save him is his father Zhao Ji.
Under this look, Zhao Gou did not see the understanding and forgiveness he wanted to see in Zhao Ji's eyes, not even pity and affection.
Zhao Gou saw only undisguised hatred in Zhao Ji's eyes.
The good thing is that -
Slightly different from the hatred of Zhao Gou of the other royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty, the hatred in Zhao Ji's eyes was also mixed with some hatred of iron and steel.
"It turns out that my father really has expectations for me."
Zhao Gou couldn't help but think of the three sentences that Zhao Jituo had brought him: "But it's true, come to save your parents." "If you see King Kang, the first play: There is a strategy for the Central Plains of the Qing Dynasty, and if you hold it, don't think of me." "Yizu has an oath, the temple of Tibet, swears not to kill the minister and the person who speaks, and the violator is unknown. ”
It's a pity that Zhao Ji only listened to half of the three sentences that Zhao Ji brought to Zhao Gou: But it is true.
Because of these four words of Zhao Ji, Zhao Gou's throne can barely be justified.
- Actually, from the perspective of the strict legal system, Zhao Ji's secret edict is invalid. Because he has long since abdicated, Zhao Huan is the main master. But under the special circumstances at that time, Zhao Gou could get the four words Zhao Ji, and he had already burned high incense.
And the second half of the sentence about saving your parents, let's talk about it depending on the situation.
Restore the Central Plains?
It's still about saving your life.
After Zhao Ji stabilized his position, he never seriously considered restoring the Central Plains, for him at that time, as long as he could live comfortably, what did he want the Central Plains to do?
As for the ancestral oath reaffirmed by Zhao Ji, he naturally didn't take it to heart, and later, in order to live in a corner of peace, he attacked Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, and nailed the last coffin nail for the complete demise of the Zhao and Song dynasties.
Now, Zhao Gou realized that although Zhao Ji didn't like him, he also had high hopes for him, and he could be regarded as paving the way for him, and even made excuses for his disloyalty, unfilial piety, and injustice, and really gave him the opportunity to sweep the world and become the first emperor of the ages.
At this moment, Zhao Gou was very weak and didn't dare to look at Zhao Ji anymore.
Not long after, Zhao Huan, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, couldn't help his own curiosity, and also appeared.
Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Gou, the three emperors of the Zhao and Song dynasties in the Song Dynasty, gathered together......
