Chapter 104: Lin'an
It is the cold spring is expected to be steep, a heavy snow at the end of the year, the whole Lin'an Palace is covered with snow, in addition to the lush pines and cypresses, the large plum blossoms in the garden are blooming everywhere, the fragrance is bursting, there is a hole in the sky.
In the Ling Han Pavilion, the palace maid was far away from the corridor, the wine pot on the stove was steaming, and Li Weiming, the virtuous concubine of the Great Song Emperor, was quietly independent alone, facing the dazzling plum cong.
Because the emperor was fighting abroad, the palace was deserted, and New Year's Day was not very good. Approaching the New Year's Eve, there is still no news of the war in the northwest. Everyone in the palace is worried and wants to know, what is the side matter like?
For some reason, Li Weiming felt that he didn't seem to care about this. Compared with Princess Yi, Zhou Xiuniang, Cuizhu and others who often pray for blessings and ask for lots, she is sad all day long, and she only occasionally thinks of the war in the northwest, as for the emperor, it seems to be dispensable.
Even in her heart, she hates war. Wasn't her homeland of Great Xia trampled by the Tatars' iron horses and crossbows?
She is a quiet person, she likes to be alone and read and write quietly. Even she felt that having two children in three years made her a little bored. This also made her subconsciously avoid having sex with Zhao Hong.
Anyway, there are women in the emperor's harem. Jia is like a brocade and charming, Cuizhu is slender, Zhou Xiuniang is plump, and all of them are beauties. They husband and child, and they don't seem to have any complaints.
Speaking of which, it's still that Yang Yi is chic and happy. The child was lost to Princess Yi, and she often went out of the palace to travel to Ye, and she was free and unrestrained in poetry and wine.
Although she and Zhao Hong have two children, she and Zhao Hong have always been together less and more apart, as the halo fades, life returns to dullness, and those memories deep in the heart are flooded.
Spring is full of old mountains and rivers. The old country should still be frozen by the Yellow River, and the willow branches have not yet sprouted.
Suddenly, the shouts sounded, which surprised Li Weiming in the pavilion and the palace maids outside the pavilion.
raised his head and looked around, only to see that everywhere in the back garden, the figures of the palace maids and eunuchs were in a hurry, all of them were heading in the direction of Kunning Palace.
"What happened?"
Li Weiming frowned and called out to a palace maid who passed by in front of the path.
"Hui Xian Concubine Niangniang, the slave maid doesn't know, it's just that Princess Yi and Concubine De asked everyone to go. Say it's a happy event! ”
"Happy event?"
It won't be the military intelligence of the Northwest victory, right?
Li Weiming was suspicious, and a eunuch hurriedly came over, with a happy face, and saluted Li Weiming.
"Concubine Xian, the Queen Mother and Princess Yi called the concubines of the Houguan to go to Cining Palace to celebrate together."
"Celebrate what?"
"Returning to Concubine Xian Niangniang, Your Majesty led the Great Song Dynasty to break the Tatar army in Hanzhong, killing tens of thousands, and now the Wang Division has occupied Shaanxi!"
On the eunuch's face, he couldn't hide his ecstasy.
"I see."
Li Weiming nodded slightly, his face did not change, and said softly:
"Hurry up and get your reward. I'm feeling a little unwell, and I'll get over later. ”
The eunuch secretly glanced at Li Weiming, glanced at the wine jug on the stove, and quickly retired and left.
Sure enough, the emperor succeeded again!
Li Weiming looked at the palace maids around him and raised his voice.
"Go to the front hall and receive your reward. I want to be alone and quiet. ”
The palace maids left one after another, and Li Weiming sat down at the stone table, picked up the wine jug on the stove next to him, poured himself a glass, and drank it.
No matter how many victories Da Song has won, what does it have to do with her? The Great Xia in her dreams, can she come back?
Unconsciously, a trace of resentment rose in Li Weiming's heart.
If Zhao Hong really loved her, he would not have annexed her home country, Great Xia.
The cheers in the front hall continued, reaching Li Weiming's ears, making her upset. She stood up and was about to find a place to escape when several people approached the path, one of whom greeted her from a distance.
"Nameless!"
The familiar local sound, Li Weiming couldn't help but be stunned and stopped.
"Big brother, uncle, why are you here?"
It was his elder brother Li Li, the king of Xia, and his uncle Li Deren, the prince of Xia.
"We also heard about the Song army's destruction of the Tatar army in Hanzhong, and we rushed over immediately."
Li Deren and Li Li sat down separately, and Li Li opened his mouth first.
"I just heard about it, too."
Li Weiming said lightly, and poured wine for Li Wei and Li Deren.
"The border army is in a hurry for six hundred miles, and the entire Lin'an City is crazy. Outside there are gongs and drums, firecrackers are ringing in unison, not to mention how lively it is! ”
Li Deren drank the wine, but his expression was a little lonely.
"The 70,000 Tatar army was wiped out, and even the king of the sect, Torre, was beheaded by the Song army, which is a happy event. Together, everyone, respect your grandfather, your father, and the souls of thousands of martyrs! ”
Several people took their wine glasses and drank them together, a little sweet in their hearts, and more bitter.
In any case, Great Xia is no longer there.
"I have come today to tell you something. I discussed with my uncle that I was going to immigrate overseas and leave after the Chinese New Year. ”
Li Li drank another glass of wine.
"Emigrate overseas? Where are you going? ”
Li Weiming was startled, his hand shook, and the wine in the cup spilled.
"Africa! Take the steamship of the Great Song Dynasty sailors to the south, and leave in a few days. ”
Li Li's expression suddenly became lonely.
"Africa? That's a thousand miles away! ”
"Yes, it's Africa."
Li Wei nodded and continued:
"South Africa, to be exact. I heard that the place is a little hotter in the summer, and the other four seasons are like spring. I think it's better than the climate of Xingqing Province! There are also some of the original Great Xia ministers, let's go together. ”
There seemed to be some self-deprecation in Li Li's words, and he picked up his wine glass.
"Come, only name, just think this wine is for the eldest brother to see him off."
Li Weiming was ignorant, and Li Wei picked up the wine glass, and the three of them drank it all.
Li Li drank a few glasses of wine, his face turned red, and he wanted to drink again, but was dissuaded by Li Deren.
"You can't drink enough, let's drink less, this is in the palace."
"Uncle, I know, I won't get drunk!"
Li Li poured himself a glass of wine, picked up the wine glass, and his eyes were red.
"The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed. Come, raise a glass to Great Xia! ”
"Big brother!"
Li Weiming felt uncomfortable and wanted to stop it, but Li Wei had already drunk it all.
"In the past 40 years, the country has been 3,000 miles of mountains and rivers...... The most is the day of leaving the temple in a hurry, and the church still plays a farewell song, crying to the palace. ”
Li Deren's eyes were filled with tears, and he muttered to himself.
Li Deren and Li Wei said goodbye and left, Li Weiming looked at their backs, his heart was full of bitterness and sadness.
She stood up, and before she knew it, she was on the edge of the lake, the water was turquoise, and there were jagged ice ballast on the shore.
If you jump, will you be gone, and you will no longer have any homeland and no worries?
When Li Weiming was lonely in the back garden, Cining Palace, where Yang Guizhi, the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, was located, but it was another lively scene at the moment.
Yang Guizhi, the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, Princess Yu, the emperor's heir, Princess Yan, and Mrs. Zhong, the concubine.
In addition, the concubine Zhou Xiuniang, Jieyu Jia Bijin, the beauty Zhang Cuizhu, and the young princes and princesses of the Great Song Dynasty, all of them were happy.
Yang Guizhi, the empress dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, is already in her prime, but she still has a ruddy complexion and is in good spirits.
Although he is older, Yang Guizhi has become more kind.
"The Queen Mother, the old princess, the concubine, my Great Song Dynasty King Shi broke the Tatar army and restored Shaanxi, congratulations!"
Zhou Xiuniang smiled, and Jia Bijin and other young generations saluted Yang Guizhi and others together.
"Rejoice! Rejoice! ”
Yang Guizhi sat in the chair in the center, smiling and nodding slightly.
That self-righteous guy actually succeeded!
"The Queen Mother, the old princess, the concubine, there is only one place left in Henan, and my Great Song Dynasty will restore the Central Plains, just around the corner!"
"The Queen Mother, the old princess, the concubine, and the Tatars were all defeated by my Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the Jin people. I don't think it will be long before you'll be able to visit the city of Tokyo! ”
Jia Bijin and Cuizhu went one after the other, and Xi Zizi said it.
"The Queen Mother, the old princess, the princess, when the time comes, you will go by steamship, fast and not bumpy, and you will arrive in Tokyo City in a few days, and you will not be tired at all!"
A eunuch obediently interjected and came in.
Yang Guizhi, Yu Shi and the others all nodded again and again, smiling with a lovely smile.
They have sat on a steamboat, traveling thousands of miles a day, but the black smoke is a little indecent.
"The great victory of the king is celebrated by the whole country. Everyone present today will be rewarded with 50 yuan each, and the old body will break the money himself! ”
Yang Guizhi said it with a smile.
"Thank you Queen Mother for the reward!"
Everyone in the hall was overjoyed and thanked Yang Guizhi together.
"Since the Queen Mother has spoken, I will also add 30 times, and everyone present will have a share."
Princess Yu said with a smile.
"The two of us each add 10 guan, the icing on the cake, to make 100 guan."
Concubine Yan Meiren and Concubine Zhong continued to speak, and the hall was full of joy.
Yang Guizhi's gaze swept over everyone, and suddenly asked:
"Didn't Concubine Li Xian come?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, Concubine Li Xian's brother and uncle came, presumably because of the news of the victory in Hanzhong."
"It's still a deep country in the country!"
Yang Guizhi nodded lightly, and Yang Yi's daughter Zhao Xin, who turned her gaze, was also her niece.
"What about Yang Guiyi? Xinxin, where is your mother? ”
"Queen Mother, I don't know, my mother hasn't been back for several days."
Zhao Xin whispered, aggrieved, tears flowed out.
"Shin Shin, don't cry. Shrewd! ”
Zhou Xiuniang comforted Zhao Xin and hurriedly started the round.
"Queen Mother, my sister is just going out to play for a few days, relaxing, and will be back soon."
Before Zhou Xiuniang's words fell, Yang Yi's voice had already sounded outside.
"Auntie, I'm here! Is it the news of the great victory of the official army? ”
Everyone got out of the way, Yang Yi came in, and greeted Yang Guizhi and the others, her pretty face was flushed and her wine was suffocating.
"Where have you been? The child doesn't care. Why are you so red? ”
Smelling the smell of wine on Yang Yi's body, the joy on Yang Guizhi's face disappeared, and his face immediately sank.
"I just drank a little. Auntie, why do you have such a big temper? ”
Yang Yi's face was flushed and he wanted to pull the daughter next to him, but Zhao Xin stepped forward and hid in the arms of Princess Yu of Yi.
"Come here!"
Maybe it was because he drank wine, Yang Yi's eyes widened, and he was going to pull his daughter back in the past.
"Presumptuous! What do you think you look like? What kind of alcohol do you drink in broad daylight? Even the children avoid you, do you still look like a mother? What kind of system? ”
Yang Guizhi slapped the table and said angrily.
"Queen Mother, dissipate your anger. Forget it, forget it! ”
Everyone persuaded Yang Guizhi one after another.
"What are you pretending, I see that you are not well-intentioned, you all want to see my jokes!"
was humiliated by his aunt in public, Yang Yi couldn't pull his face, turned his head and scolded the people who were playing in the round next to him.
"You are presumptuous! You still have me in your eyes......"
Yang Guizhi was furious and slapped the table.
"Okay, don't scold, I'm not in your way, I'll go!"
Yang Yi turned around and left, without looking back.
"Yang Yi, you ...... You ......"
Yang Guizhi's qi and blood surged, and he suddenly felt dizzy, and he couldn't stand steadily, so he fell backwards.
"Queen Mother!"
"Go and call the Imperial Doctor!"
Seeing Yang Guizhi in a coma, Zhou Xiuniang and others shouted one after another.
The doctors rushed to check the condition, and they all shook their heads.
Yang Guizhi is in his prime, and this anger is probably powerless.
"What can I do?"
Zhou Xiuniang and the others were dumbfounded.
"This is a state affair and can only be informed to His Majesty. No matter what, I have to let the emperor come back and see the queen mother for the last time! ”
Yu had no choice but to make a decision.
The Great Song Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety. The Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty is seriously ill, if the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty does not come back to fulfill his filial piety, how can he convince the people of the world?
