More than a month later, Emperor Xiaozong died of illness, and a generation of Ming emperors completed their glorious lives.

Kang Yue was very sad, thinking of the bits and pieces with Zhao Yan, the glorious years of the Longxing Northern Expedition, and the heart-to-heart care between the monarchs and ministers, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

With the support of her children, the imperial concubine Sisi wore linen and filial piety, and carried the coffin to Emperor Xiaozong on his last journey according to the royal ceremony.

Originally, Zhao Yan had already been in the crown prince Zhao Dian before, known as Song Guangzong in history, and Zhao Yan became the emperor.

At the beginning, Zhao Dan did have the intention of reforming the old and making the new, and he was able to listen to the advice of his subordinates, and he also eliminated some unscrupulous people.

But he is afraid of guilt, afraid of Queen Li Fengniang. It is said that Empress Ciyi Li Fengniang (1145-1200 AD), a native of Xiangzhou (now Anyang, Henan), was the empress of Zhao Dian of Song Guangzong.

Father Li Dao, official Qingyuan military festival envoy. She was the mother of Zhao Kuo, the fourth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and one of the famous queens of the Two Song Dynasty and even Chinese history.

The new emperor Zhao Dian faced such a strong and vicious wife, and he began to collapse because of his cowardly nature, and he could not handle the government normally, which was in Li Fengniang's arms.

From the third year of Shaoxi,

"Political affairs are mostly decided later", and the power fell into the hands of Li Fengniang. It is said that Li was born in the fifteenth year of Song Gaozong Shaoxing, with a gorgeous appearance and a noble face, and there was a Taoist priest Huangfu who looked at her face and said in surprise: "This woman is the mother of the world." Her beauty reached the ears of Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong at that time, and Song Gaozong immediately ordered his emperor grandson Zhao Dian (later Song Guangzong) to hire Li Fengniang as a concubine, and named Mrs. Rongguo, and changed the title of Mrs. Dingguo, and gave birth to a son Zhao Kuo in the fourth year of the Dry Road (1168).

Although Li is gorgeous, she likes to tell right and wrong, and when she was the crown princess, she had already made Song Gaozong and others disgusted with her.

As the queen, relying on Zhao Dan's cowardly nature and neglect of the government, big and small things depend on her, and the power is gradually controlled by the arrogant and fierce Li Fengniang.

Once, Zhao Dian saw that the hands of the palace maid who brought him water were tender and white, and said casually

"Good!". The next day, Empress Li sent a box of snacks to Song Guangzong, and when she opened the lid, she saw that it contained the two hands of the palace maid, which frightened Zhao Duan into a heart attack.

Later, one of Zhao Dan's favorite concubines was killed by Empress Li, and Zhao Dan was greatly stimulated to become ill, and his spirit was not normal.

When his father Song Xiaozong heard about it, he sent the pills, but Empress Li spread rumors that it was poison, which divided the father-son relationship between Zhao Dian and Song Xiaozong.

Zhao Dian was not only controlled by Empress Li, but also interfered with her actions. When Song Xiaozong was dying of illness, he wanted to see Zhao Dian and his daughter-in-law for the last time, the cowardly Zhao Dian could not get the consent of Empress Li, and did not dare to visit his father, many ministers wrote to Zhao Dian to visit Song Xiaozong, but Zhao Dian also ignored it, and the two also ignored it on the day of Xiaozong's funeral.

The unkind and unfilial behavior of the new emperor Zhao Dian and Li Fengniang aroused the public indignation of the government and the opposition, and on the same day, the crown prince Zhao Kuang was appointed as the emperor, known as Song Ningzong in history, and Zhao Dian and Li Fengniang became the emperor and the empress.

At this time, Le'er had been promoted to the envoy of the Jiangnan Festival, protecting the Yellow River and preventing Jin soldiers from smuggling across the Yellow River.

Since Song Guangzong ascended the throne, Kang Yue has seen that the new emperor is a villain and a sage, and he feels that the hope of the success of the Northern Expedition is getting slimmer and slimmer, and he has already thought about it.

After Zhao Kuo ascended the throne, he resigned with Gao Wa, bid farewell to his children and grandchildren, and returned to the desert grassland. As soon as they entered Guyang, Kang Yue and his family saw a large area of grassland, a large group of cattle and sheep eating grass on the green grass, and little lambs and calves followed behind their mother, playing happily.

The air of the grassland is so fresh, the fragrance of the grassland is so refreshing, and the people of the grassland are so simple and enthusiastic.

The villagers in the desert grassland were very happy to hear that Kang Yue and Gao Wa had returned. Everyone rushed to tell each other, and soon Kang Yue's yurt was full of people.

Everyone excitedly surrounded Kang Yue and his family, asking for warmth, asking this and that. That night, at the bonfire party that welcomed them back, Kang Yue and everyone drank wine, ate meat, and danced happily.

Gao Wa talked to the women about the culture, customs, and customs of the Central Plains. Everyone was very pleased to hear that Le'er and Sisi were living a very happy and healthy life.

Kang Yue looked at the beautiful scenery of the grassland and the night, and sang happily

"Dingfeng Wave": "I miss the green grassland in my dream, and now I am looking for my dream as I wish, the boundless grass enters the sky, intoxicating, and the sound of horses' hooves recalls Yingjie." The yurt sings far away, remembrance, and the green grass grows when the showers hit. Riding a horse galloping wishes, bonfires, Andai dancing all night long".

Gao Wa was very happy to see Kang Yue so excited, she sang Mongolian long tunes with the women, and the young and beautiful Mongolian girls danced a cheerful and enthusiastic Andai dance, and the night sky was lit red by the bonfire.

The next morning, Kang Yue changed into a Mongolian robe, and Gao Wa also wore a Mongolian robe and a headscarf wrapped around her head, and went to Daxian Mountain with Kang Yue to collect medicine.

After so many years, Kang Yue returned to Daxian Mountain, standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the clear blue sky and white clouds, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The family feud has been avenged, and Yue Wumu has also rehabilitated Zhaoxue, but the homeland has not been recovered, and the national hatred has not been eliminated. Kang Yue can only pin his trust on Le'er's generation of young people.

He and Gao Wa decided to live on the grassland in the future and benefit the people of the grassland. At this moment, he looked at this sacred mountain, looked at the heavenly book on the mountain, remembered the immortal Dafa that Taishang Laojun taught him back then, and decided to continue to cultivate, relieve the pain of the grassland people, and protect the people's health.
