Chapter 48: The Ten-Year Covenant

Qinglong Mountain in the east, Ziyun Mountain in the south, Wuhu Ridge in the west, Wulian Mountain in the north, constitute the feng shui landscape of the left Qinglong, the right white tiger, the front Vermilion Bird, and the rear Xuanwu, and the clear stream of Daren Dragon Mountain meanders to the west along the imperial mausoleum. The blend of mountains and rivers and the towering trees make it indeed a rare treasure of feng shui.

This is where the tombs of the emperors and empresses of the Southern Song Dynasty are located.

Song Huizong, Song Gaozong, Song Xiaozong, Song Guangzong, the mausoleum of the four Great Song Emperors, Zhezong Houling, Huizong Houling, Gaozong Houling, Xiaozong Houling, Guangzong Houling, etc., the scale is large, solemn and solemn, but the mausoleum is not called the mausoleum, but called "saving the palace".

Since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the mounds of the emperors and empresses were all called "saving palaces". It is said that this is a temporary expedient mausoleum, and after the king recovers the Central Plains, he will be buried in Yiluo, and the mausoleums of the ancestors of the Zhao and Song dynasties are hidden in one place, and the fallen leaves return to the roots.

Historically, after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial mausoleum of the Southern Song Dynasty was excavated by Yang Lian Zhenjia, the president of Jiangnan Shijiao appointed by the Yuan Dynasty, and was completely destroyed. The head of Zhao Yun was cut off and made into a drinking vessel, and his torso was burned.

I don't know, in the era I live in, can I avoid such a tragedy?

The sun shines in the cemetery, the snow has long since disappeared, and the pines and cypresses are verdant and lush, showing incomparably strong vitality.

Offerings were placed, incense was burned, candles were lit, and light smoke curled up, even though it was just an ordinary sacrifice, it was also a well-thought-out ceremony.

Even if Zhao Gou is a soft bone who has been scolded and criticized by later generations, he has to be respectful in front of his mausoleum, kowtow to his head, and look presentable.

"The ancestors are above, and the descendants of Zhao Hong swore in front of the ancestors' mausoleum that he would lead the king to recover the Central Plains one day, and he would definitely move the ancestors' mausoleums back to Xijing and bury Yiluo!"

I don't know if what he said was true or deliberate, Zhao Hong's expression was particularly solemn.

At this time, he felt that he had a little bit of the appearance of the descendants of the Zhao family.

In fact, speaking of which, he is the line of Zhao Kuangyin of Song Taizu, and Zhao Gou is the line of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong, the two sides have been separated by so many generations, and the weak blood relationship is 2 to the 16-18th power, and it has no relationship for a long time.

Zhao Hong knelt in front, a group of officials and guards knelt behind, and everyone finished worshipping in the cemetery, so they all stood up with a solemn face.

"Your Highness, can you really recover the Central Plains and return to your hometown?"

Everyone walked down the mountain, and Wang Gang was not taboo, and asked softly.

He heard Zhao Hong's "bold words" when he worshiped just now, and he heard it clearly.

"Why not? Get rid of your "what"! ”

Zhao Hong smiled loudly, and his pride soared to the sky.

"Wang Xianggong, it seems that you are only forty years away, let's have a ten-year appointment. Ten years later, let's meet in Bianjing, drink together, and reminisce about today's events! ”

Or die, and the pride and ambition will disappear. Either you live, do it happily, be happy and revenge, and live up to your life.

"Your Highness, if there is really such a day, the old minister will have no regrets in this life!"

Wang Gang looked at Zhao Hong in shock, confused.

This Zhao Hong, it won't be a joke.

The three previous kings, plus the current emperor, the four generations of kings of the Great Song Dynasty, have not been able to restore the Central Plains for a hundred years. How could he be a little prince?

"Your Highness, for a ten-year covenant, you might as well add another official!"

The county board of directors was full of interest and lost no time in adding it.

"Good! Dong Xianggong, the ten-year covenant is also counted as you! ”

Zhao Hong laughed, and when he arrived at the place where the horse was tethered, he untied the reins and turned over on the horse.

"Wang Xianggong, Dong Xianggong, the matter of the iron mill, there is labor! Leave! ”

If you want to succeed, you have to start from your feet and start step by step.

Xue Tan hit the horse to keep up, looking at the back of Zhao Hong galloping in front of him, his heart was shocked and couldn't be calmed.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried. Who has a grievance today?

Whether the emperor can become an emperor is still unknown, is it too hasty to talk about a ten-year covenant now?

However, following Zhao Hong, he always felt that his blood was boiling, which made his young heart beat wildly.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times! ”

The horse galloped, free, Zhao Hong was in high spirits and sang loudly on the horse.

Zhao Hong in front of him sang and roared, impassionedly, provoking a hoarse echo from the guards behind him.

"On the white-haired fisherman Jiangzhu, I am used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, how many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking! ”

"It's all paid...... Laughing and talking! ”

Everyone dragged out their tones together, and the ghosts cried wolves and laughed.

Xue Tan was envious and followed closely.

What a group of happy and generous ...... Gentle!

When he returned to the Zheng's Iron Workshop, he carefully told the craftsmen about the renovation of the kiln and the additions, and before he had time to drink a saliva, he was alarmed by the forbidden army that came from Lin'an City.

"Your Highness, the official family has a will, let you enter the court and discuss politics quickly!"

Zhao Hong was stunned for a moment, and his mind couldn't help flashing the warship carrying the Jin envoy on the Zhedong Canal.

Is it for the political affairs sent by the Jin people?

"Your Highness, it seems that the official family has not paid attention to this iron smelting matter at all."

Li Tang said it with a dark face.

"Perhaps, the official family doesn't want His Highness to take this risk. Whether the iron smelting is successful or not, the officials don't care at all. ”

Xu Sheng spoke slowly, pointingly.

"Your Highness, it's a good thing that the official family summoned you to the court. At least it shows that the official family cares about His Royal Highness very much. ”

Xue Tan whispered in a low voice on the side, which made Zhao Hong's heart move.

The word "speed", as Xue Tan said, already has some weight in Zhao Kuo's heart.

It seems that more or less, I have gained something.

"Xu Sheng and Hu Datou stay! The others came back to Lin'an with me! ”

Zhao Hong made a decision in an instant.

Lin'an City, Shifu, at dusk, in the study.

"Shi Xiang, the envoy of the Jin people, Wanyan Agu Loan, asks to see him outside the mansion."

Outside the study, the subordinate whispered.

"Golden Emissary?"

Behind the bookcase, Shi Miyuan, who was looking at the ink treasure on the case, frowned slightly and raised his head.

"Fear fasting, what do you see, what is the matter with the golden envoy asking to see?"

The golden envoy asks for a meeting, does he want to sign an alliance under the city?

Shi Miyuan asked, and his staff member Yu Tianci said respectfully in front of the bookcase.

"Shi Xiang, the Golden Emperor has just ascended the throne, the external dispute is over, and the internal good governance is repaired, and the golden envoy should come this time to try first."

Emperor Jin succeeded to the throne after Yan Shouxu, changed the Yuan Zhengda, relieved the worries diplomatically, and appointed generals with meritorious service in internal affairs to take charge of the army. With the clan Wanyan Sai not as a Pingzhang political affairs, Chizhan Hexi as the privy deputy envoy, responsible for the national military and political affairs; Yan'an Marshal Wanyan Heda is the governor of the government; Zhang Xingxin, who strongly advocated the strategy of resisting Mengshan, awarded Shangshu the position of Zuo.

Wanyan Shouxu worked hard and did everything to deal with the powerful Mongol cavalry.

"Let people tell the golden envoy, just say that the old man is unwell. If there is anything, let's talk about it at the meeting. ”

Shi Miyuan pondered for a moment and spoke categorically.

"Shi Xiang, if you refuse like this, will the Jin people be annoyed and angry, and raise a war again?"

Xue Ji, who was on the chair next to him, said with a sad face:

"This time, that time. In the past, the Jin people were powerful, but now the Jin people only have Shaanxi and Henan, and they are weak and not enough to fear. ”

Shi Miyuan shook his head and said, Yu Tianci waved his hand lightly, and the people at the door knew it and disappeared immediately.

"Hu Gong, I heard that Zhao Hong went to Huiji Mountain in Shaoxing Mansion, do you know what happened?"

Shi Miyuan's gaze turned to Hu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"Back to Shixiang, I heard that it was to find an iron-smelting furnace. For this reason, Zhao Hong also scolded several officials of Du Fan. Zhao Hong went to Shaoxing Mansion, or Xue Gong's grandson Xue Tan Xue Jian volunteered to lead the way. ”

"Shi Xiang, my unscrupulous grandson has just entered the office and doesn't understand the rules. I'll discipline him well when I go back, so he doesn't have to be nosy! ”

Xue Ji hurriedly stood up and bowed to Shi Miyuan.

"Xue Gong, what are you doing here? Zhao Hong was promoted by the weapon, and Xue Tan, as his subordinate, could he disobey the order? ”

Shi Miyuan waved his hand and motioned for Xue Ji to sit down.

"Hu Gong, don't hinder Zhao Hong, a mad dog, lest he make trouble in the court and be embarrassed. He wants people and things, and he tries his best to cooperate. The old man wants to see what he can toss out? ”

At the mention of Zhao Hong, Shi Miyuan was extremely angry.

Expose people without revealing shortcomings, and hitting people without slapping their faces! This bastard openly accused him of taking power in the court, which is tolerable and unbearable.

"Shi Xiang rest assured, I know what to do."

Hu Yu said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Hong is stunned, he doesn't even pay attention to Shi Miyuan, if he provokes him, isn't this asking for his own hardship?

"Two, what do you think of this ink treasure?"

Shi Miyuan smiled slightly, picked up the paper on the table, and handed it to Hu Yu and Xue Ji.

"Isn't this high school handwriting?"

Xue Ji glanced at it a few times and exclaimed in surprise.

"Gaozong has been copying for decades, good and true, acting, cursive, and the heavens are all wonderful. Horizontal and straight, casual and adaptable, it is everyone in the sea, no one can match! ”

Hu Yu also nodded in admiration.

This copy of Zhao Gou's "Book of Filial Piety" is worth more than a thousand gold, but it is unexpectedly in Shi Miyuan's house.

Shi Miyuan's wealth is really enviable!

"Shi Xiang, can you borrow this Mobao for a few days?"

Hu Yu said with a smile, expecting Shi Miyuan to be merciful and reward him with this thing.

"Hu Gong, this thing is not good, the old man is useful."

Shi Miyuan did not hesitate and rejected Hu Yu.

Hu Yu was helpless, suspicious, and didn't know what the use of a filial piety handwriting was.

"Two, it's not early, let's go back and rest. Tomorrow, there is no need to offend the Jin people, but there is no need to be polite to the Jin people. ”

Shi Miyuan's brows furrowed. If it weren't for the fear that the Jin people would go south and make compromises, how could he be pointed out by thousands of people?

"Shi Xiang, I'll retire!"

Hu Yu and Xue Ji said goodbye, and only Shi Miyuan and Yu Tianci were left in the study.

"Fear of fasting, I can go to Yiwangfu in person and hand over this thing to Zheng Xuelu. He knows how to do it. ”

Shi Miyuan rolled up Zhao Gou's handwriting, put it in the box, and handed it to Yu Tianci in front of the table.

"Yes, Shi Xiang."

Yu Tianci knew it, took the long box, and said hesitantly:

"Shi Xiang, Xu Ji came to report, Wu Nian went to the Jiguo Mansion, and broke up with Zhao Hong, as if he said something good to separate."

"Is Wu Nian's daughter back?"

Shi Miyuan perked up, and the wrinkles on his face bloomed.

"The Wu people are still in Jinling, and they are fighting hotly. However, for her mother's Wu Yang's birthday, she should return. ”

Yu Tianci said contemplatively.

"This is the best news I've heard in a while!"

Shi Miyuan's eyes lit up, and he said it slowly.

Wu Nian's daughter Wu, Zhao Hong's wife, is also the grandniece of Empress Yang Guizhi. If the Wu family and Zhao Hong break up, the relationship between Zhao Hong and Yang Guizhi will never be reconciled.

As long as Zhao Hong and Yang Guizhi are not in harmony, with Yang Guizhi's strength and his own control of the court, the victory will completely fall to his side.

This is indeed great news for Shi Miyuan.
