Chapter 14: The Case of Jianghu Poetry
In the East Palace, in the study, Zhao Hong was in front of the window, looking at the continuous winter rain outside.
Asked An Shishan all day long, although he saw Zhao Kuo only a handful of times, he found that Zhao Kuo's health was indeed declining, although he lived a few months longer than in history, but as the doctors said, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive this cold winter.
He can't influence what Zhao Kuo does, for example, if Zen is located in his own words, with Zhao Kuo's current mental state, this may be self-defeating and make himself irreversible.
As for him and Yang Guizhi, the empress of the Great Song Dynasty, since that quarrel, it seems that they have broken up, he can't change his impression in Yang Guizhi's mind, and he doesn't want to grovel to change.
Looking at what Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, has done recently, his heart is clear, the country is easy to change, his temperament is difficult to change, and people are always obsessed with what they think they can succeed. This high-ranking and powerful Shi Xiang is determined to take his fate into his own hands.
Even if he is already the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Shi Miyuan is infatuated and wants to "replace" himself.
The road ahead is long, and you have to go on a rampage and overcome obstacles. Pinning your hopes on others is tantamount to self-destruction.
The Mongol cavalry in the north is eyeing the city, ready to conquer the city. On the other hand, the Southern Song Dynasty court was still fighting in the nest, the emperor was obsessed with cultivation, the queen interfered with the government affairs, the powerful ministers were bold, and the Southern Song Dynasty court was confused, and he was upset when he thought about it.
According to the news obtained by the Ministry of War, the Mongol army has not yet returned from the westward expedition. It seems that only part of the Mongolian army returned in India without success, and the main force of the Mongolian army does not seem to have a division.
This also made him inexplicably relieved.
The journey to the west was long, and the Mongol army needed to recuperate, so it would take about a year. If the Great Song Dynasty works hard, there is still a glimmer of room for maneuvering.
Returning to the chair and sitting down, Zhao Hong picked up a pencil and wrote on the paper:
Keep an eye on the Yiwang Mansion, the Shi Mansion, and the Cheng Mansion;
stared at Huang Yan, Xu Gui, and Feng Shu;
Prepare firearms and fight to the death;
When Zhao Hong raised his head, he always felt uneasy and upset.
In case he was caught off guard and was replaced by Shi Miyuan, his strength was weak, and the wood was already in the boat, what did he do to fight back?
The prince of the Great Song Dynasty sounds lofty, but he looks good, has no power and power, and is not worth mentioning.
"Your Highness, are you there?"
There was a knock on the door outside the study, and it seemed to be Yang Yi's voice.
"Come in, little lady Yang."
Zhao Hong hurriedly picked up the note, crumpled it into a ball, and put it in a drawer.
These secret things can't be known to Yang Yi.
I don't know if it's because of the "godmother", maybe because of the identity of the queen's niece, Yang Yi went in and out of the East Palace, and sometimes even Li Tang and Xu Sheng, Zhao Hong's personal guards, didn't dare to stop it.
Although Yang Yi and Zhou Xiuniang are harmonious on the surface and get along well, Zhao Hong faintly feels in his heart that the friendship between the two is not very good.
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, I don't know, whether these two are "plastic sisters" or really "girlfriends"?
"Your Highness, do you still have the leisure to sit still?"
Yang Yi was sweating profusely, still holding a book in his hand, and said hurriedly.
"What's going on, it's in a hurry? Is Lin'an City on fire? ”
Zhao Hong asked in surprise.
"You don't know yet? "Jianghu Collection" went wrong, Liu Kezhuang, Chen Qi, and Zeng Ji were all imprisoned, and Zeng Ji was sent to Hunan Chungling; Chen Qi was confiscated of his family property, all the plates of "Jianghu Collection" were split into firewood, and Liu Kezhuang and Chen Qi also had to be exiled! ”
Yang Yi wiped a handful of sweat with a handkerchief, grabbed the tea on Zhao Hong's desk, and drank it slowly.
"What happened, you tell me slowly."
Zhao Hong sat down, and the suspicion in his heart was even worse.
On the day of the publication of "Jianghu Poems", he reminded Liu Kezhuang and others, so as not to stimulate Shi Miyuan and others. Now it seems that what he feared has finally happened.
Is this the so-called "Jianghu Poetry Collection" case in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty?
"Look here, look here! You can read the pages I folded! ”
Yang Yi put down the teacup, put the book on the table, and opened a few pages where they were folded.
Her hands are white and slender, like spring onions, and Zhao Hong's color heart can't help but swing.
"What are you looking at? Look at this! ”
Yang Yi's face was red, his heart was happy, and he pointed to the open page.
It seems that Zhao Hong always has her in his heart.
"Good, good!"
Zhao Hong smiled awkwardly and picked up the poetry collection of "Jianghu Collection".
Since the autumn, the first batch of printed copies of "Jianghu Collection" has been put on the cabinet in Chen's bookstore in Lin'an City, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire Lin'an City, and for a while there was a trend of "Luoyang paper is expensive", which approached Zhao Hong's "Selected Poems".
Unexpectedly, when the bookstore business was booming, disaster also followed.
Zhao Hong opened the poetry collection and read them one by one.
"You see, on page 16, Zeng Ji's "Spring Poems": "There are few sunny days in spring on the ninety days, and there are many chaotic times in a thousand years", Li Zhixiao, the imperial historian, thinks that this is an allusion to the absence of the Ming monarch, the darkness of the government, and the vicious attack on the Song Dynasty, and his heart can be punished! ”
Yang Yi pointed and reminded Zhao Hong on the side.
Obviously, she knew the whole ins and outs of the matter and ran for it.
Look at this again, Liu Kezhuang's "Falling Plum": "Dongfeng is in charge of the power of flowers, but he does not advocate solitude. Isn't this a blatant accusation that Shi Miyuan is flying and domineering? Isn't this self-defeating, you say? ”
Yang Yi came one by one, and Zhao Hong was secretly frightened when he saw it.
Liu Kezhuang and Zeng Ji, this is a taboo for Shi Miyuan.
"How the hell did it happen? Where are people locked up now? Where was it heard? ”
Zhao Hong asked with a frown.
If it is Lin'an Mansion and Dali Temple, he can still move.
"Li Zhixiao, the official of Yushitai, Shi Miyuan's dogleg, he has an old enmity with Zeng of the "Jianghu Poetry School", and he is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. "Jianghu Collection" sold so well, of course Li Zhixiao was easy to find fault. ”
Yang Yi's words made Zhao Hong stunned for a while.
"Li Zhixiao? Wasn't this-stirring stick expelled? What's the matter, he's back to the court again? ”
The literal hell is especially shameless, and thinking about it is a headache.
"The official family is seriously ill, Li Zhixiao was transferred back to the center by Shi Miyuan, and he ran around the Yushitai, and he began to make waves again!"
Yang Yi urged, his face full of anxiety.
After Shi Miyuan received the impeachment of Li Zhixiao's new poem "Jianghu School", he was furious and immediately sent the Criminal Department to supervise and put Liu Kezhuang and the three people in prison. Now these celebrities involved in "Jianghu Collection" are all locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department. Zhao Rushu, the servant of the Criminal Department, is Shi Miyuan's loyal lackey, and he will definitely punish Liu Kezhuang and them. You're the crown prince, you have to find a way! ”
The prince, who has no power and no power, can be used as a fart!
Zhao Hong smiled awkwardly, and suddenly said in surprise:
"Liu Kezhuang and they were arrested, I don't know, how did you know?"
"After listening to my aunt's words, I asked around, but unfortunately it was too late. I went to beg my aunt and she refused. I really don't have a way to come to you now! ”
Yang Yi walked over, grabbed Zhao Hong's arm, and said eagerly:
"Hurry, hurry! Go to the Punishment Department! Didn't you often deal with Ge Hong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, when you were in the court, let him take care of Liu Kezhuang and them, it won't be impossible, right? ”
"Good, good! I'm going to prepare something, I can't go to the Punishment Department empty-handed! ”
Zhao Hong was helpless and stood up with a wry smile.
No matter how difficult his situation is, he has to speak out, first, to save these loyal people, and second, to prove his existence and block Shi Miyuan and others.
Ge Hong, the old fox, is over seventy years old, but he can take advantage of it.
"Hurry up and get out of the palace, maybe the punishment department has already tortured them!"
Yang Yi took the lead and hurried.
Looking at Yang Yi's anxious appearance, Zhao Hong couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, get something!"
If there were a few more people like Yang Yi in the world, wouldn't the world be much better.
Unfortunately, there are too few such people in the world, and many of them are selfish, mean, and unkind.
After leaving the Prince's East Palace, he didn't take a few steps, and he was greeted by a group of soldiers of the forbidden army in armor who hugged two purple-robed officials and walked over slowly.
The official headed by him was tall and fat, sweating on his forehead, and Zhao Hong looked carefully, it was Xia Zhen, the commander of the front division of the palace.
And the official beside him was tall, thin and dark, in his forties, with prominent cheekbones on his face and fierce eyes, and it was Xu Yi, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace.
One is tall and thin, the other is tall and fat, black and white, and controls the entire palace guards. Once the picture is poor, with these two people in the palace, how can they be crossed?
His eyes swept to Jiang Wanzai, an acquaintance in the forbidden army, Jiang Wanzai bowed slightly, Zhao Hong knew it and withdrew his gaze.
The young officer obviously didn't want Xia Zhen and the others to know about his relationship with Zhao Hong.
The people are warm and cold, and the water in the palace is not ordinary deep.
Seeing Xia Zhen, Xu Yi and others blocking the way, Yang Yi turned his head with a look of disdain.
As for the other forbidden troops, including Jiang Wanzai, she didn't pay attention to them.
"Your Highness, are you going out of the palace?"
Seeing that it was Zhao Hong and Yang Yi who came over, Xia Zhen stopped and bowed, very careless.
Only that fat face is still full of smiles.
Xu Yi forced out a smile, but she didn't smile.
"Xia Shuai, I have some personal matters to go out of the palace. Xia Shuai has always been good? ”
Zhao Hong returned the salute to Xia Zhen and Xu Yi.
Looking at Xia Zhen's round and panting figure after walking a few steps, you can know that it is caused by many years of wine-colored wealth and pampering. This person is in a high position, there is no shortage of money, no lack of power, and he has long lost the motivation to struggle.
And Xu Yi himself is a ruthless person, greedy and arrogant, and he doesn't have much of a good face for Zhao Hong, which is difficult to win over.
Wanting to buy these two people is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger and seeking his own death.
"Your Highness, everything is fine with the lower officials."
Xia Zhen looked at Yang Yi, who was moving on the side, and his little eyes lit up.
"Your Highness, you are so blessed!"
"Xia Shuai, hurry up and go on patrol! Don't let thieves enter the palace, it's not good to steal your treasure! ”
Yang Yi's face turned red, and his thin eyebrows were raised, obviously dissatisfied with Xia Zhen's words.
"I live outside the palace, how can I be stolen ......"
Xia Zhen smiled, before he finished speaking, Yang Yi had already strode forward, and he was still talking loudly.
"Your Highness, hurry up! If it's too late, it's a mistake! ”
"Xia Shuai, Vice Marshal Xu, I am leaving!"
Zhao Hong said goodbye to Xia Zhen and the others, turned around and left.
Xia Zhen looked at the back of him and Yang Yi leaving, and his little eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"This Zhao Hong, Yanfu is really not shallow!"
Xu Yi looked around and suddenly frowned.
"Where is Feng Yuhou?"
Xia Zhen was also stunned, and subconsciously looked around.
Feng Shu is the former secretary of the palace, responsible for the guards of the inner palace, the emperor's dormitory Funing Palace, the Qinzheng Palace, and the Emperor's dining place Jiaming Palace, the queen's dormitory Kunning Palace, Ciyuan Palace, Renming Palace, etc., are all under the jurisdiction of Feng Shu.
is responsible for the security of the emperor's and queen's bedroom, and he actually left his post, this guy's courage is getting bigger and bigger.
"Back to Xia Shuai and Xu Shuai, we don't know. Feng Yuhou went out of the palace early in the morning and didn't say where to go. ”
Xia Zhen's nephew and the former secretary of the palace all knew that Xia Yuanmin said on the side.
"I'm afraid it's Guan Pounce. Feng Yuhou loves this one the most. ”
Xu Yi said with a smile, with sarcasm in her eyes.
He and Feng Shu were at odds, fighting openly and secretly, water and fire were incompatible, and he did not forget to give Feng Shu eye medicine.
"This unassuming thing!"
Xia Zhen's face was ugly, he didn't care about wiping his sweat, and stepped forward.
When on duty, he went out of the palace to gamble without permission, and he couldn't hold up the wall with mud!
Xu Yi's eyes were playful, and then followed.
