He was timid, indecisive, capricious, and lacked judgment on political issues, and he possessed all the qualities of those mediocre emperors, except for the indiscriminate killing of innocents.

Therefore, the political legacy left to him by his imperial brother Zhezong was destroyed not long after he ascended the throne.

Therefore, Zhao Ji, who was tired of the emperor's errand, was actually frightened into a coma when he heard that the Jin people were attacking the Song Dynasty, and the first thing he did after waking up was not to preside over the government and resist the invasion of the Jin people, but to find the palace people to ask for paper money, so that the crown prince would be in place immediately.

It's a pity that this crown prince is as indecisive as him, and with years of peace, the combat strength of the forbidden army is almost dead, and Kaifeng City is easily broken by the Jin.

Now that he heard his daughter so frightened, he was even more afraid that Jingkang's matter would come again.

"My son, what do you have in mind?"

"Daddy just needs to listen to my advice, and ask the imperial brother to return to Zong Ze and Lu Haowen, and no longer pursue me for raising private soldiers."

"Good! I promise you! ”

So, Zhao Yingluo took out a letter she had prepared in advance and handed it to Zhao Ji, "Daddy only copies the content of the letter and stamps it with a private seal." ”

Zhao Ji opened the letter and read it at a glance and ten lines, and the content of the letter was roughly to reprimand his emperor's son for ignoring the hard work of the two ministers and listening to the words of the ministers, and if he was in a deep danger, he ordered him to be released to the two ministers as soon as possible, and the officials were restored.

As for Zhao Yingluo's accumulation of private soldiers, the letter took all the blame on herself, saying that it was under her own instruction that Zhao Yingluo raised private soldiers to protect herself, her concubines and princesses when the Jin people invaded the south. At the end of the article, let him not embarrass Zhao Yingluo again, otherwise it will be unfilial.

After reading it, Zhao Ji asked with some doubts, "You are his imperial sister, directly indicate your identity, he doesn't have to embarrass you, why hide your identity?" ”

Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows and said, "Emperor Yang of Sui and Taizong of Tang have ever cared about brotherhood?" ”

Zhao Yingluo's rhetorical question made Zhao Ji speechless, in all dynasties, because of the brotherly rebellion caused by the throne, the same room played Gogo everywhere.

Now that his daughter has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and has amazing wealth, she has to open the hearts of the people around the city, and her prestige is growing, if he really lets him know this, even if his baby daughter is not executed under an excuse, she will be placed under house arrest.

That's it, just follow her! As long as she can ensure that she can write poems and paint every day, she can say anything, as for the son who is not successful, he is indifferent when he is taken captive and sends a distress letter, what do you expect him to protect herself?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji picked up the pen and copied the letter given by Zhao Yingluo, and even added oil and vinegar to it, which increased Zhao Gou's blame a lot.

After the wax seal, Zhao Ji held the letter and said, "I will send someone to Lin'an early tomorrow morning." ”

"Don't work Daddy, my daughter will send the letter over in person."

"You? Aren't you afraid that others will recognize you? ”

"Daddy, don't worry! The daughter has the means to protect herself. ”

Zhao Ji thought twice in his heart, and finally agreed to her.

Her daughter was safe and sound, and Zhao Ji, who was in a good mood, said with a smile, "Since this 'Drunken Hibiscus' was opened by you, you can't let people collect Daddy's money anymore, a hot pot actually costs so much, this is my life." ”

"Daddy's money, isn't it my money? Naturally, my money is also my father's money, and look, isn't this money coming? ”

Zhao Yingluo took out a stack of silver tickets from her sleeve cage and handed it to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji looked over with some confusion and couldn't help but exclaim.

"One...... Ten thousand taels! ”

"I don't know if this 10,000 taels is enough for my father to buy some good banknote ink?"

Zhao Ji smiled like a flower, "Enough!" Enough! Absolutely enough. ”

Since he returned to Kaifeng in the south, although this food and accommodation are 10,000 times better than being a prisoner, but after all, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty are tight, even if Zhao Gou is filial, his monthly living expenses are enough to be tight, and now with this 10,000 taels, he can be reckless for a while, how can he not be happy?

After coaxing her father, Zhao Yingluo hurriedly returned to the mansion with the letter, preparing to go south to Lin'an.

Early the next morning, when I heard that Zhao Yingluo was going to Lin'an in person, Li Gang didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he hurriedly boarded her mansion again.

"Now that the two adults are in prison, the county lord is afraid that he will fall into the net by himself, so he should listen to my advice, take your property and private soldiers, and cross the Yellow River north."

In the face of Li Gang's hard persuasion, Zhao Yingluo had a headache, "Lord Li, I have a reason to go, although the surroundings of Kaifeng City are united, Lin'an is different." Now that the lord of the court and the faction are in power, if a gust of wind blows to the official family, the official family will stumble on the Kaifeng side every once in a while, this time I went to Lin'an, in addition to rescuing the two adults, I also have to meet with some important members of the court. Let them become the mouthpieces of our main battle faction in the court. ”

After Zhao Yingluo had to explain his ideas and plans, Li Gang reluctantly stopped persuading her, and in order to ensure her safety, he even dispatched Yue Fei and his 200 elite cavalry to escort her to Lin'an.

On the third day, Zhao Yingluo, who had arranged everything properly, took Yue Fei, Wang Shan, Wang Zaixing, Jiang Laosi and Chun Tao, as well as a thousand cavalry, out of Nancheng and went straight to Lin'an.

[Lin'an City, November 20, Criminal Department Prison]

Although Lin'an is located in the south, a heavy snowfall caused the temperature to plummet, and the only straw in the prison is almost equal to nothing.

Fortunately, Zong Ze and Lu Haowen were still in good health, so they would not fall completely ill after a heavy snowfall.

Lu Hao wrapped the old quilt, knocked on the cell next door, and said, "Old general, according to your judgment, can we two old men pass this year?" ”

Zong Ze exhaled, his gray hair was scattered on his forehead, and he sighed heavily, "I don't care about my life at all, I think about Kaifeng, I think about Da Song." Your Majesty listened to slander, belittled loyalty, and blindly made peace with the Jin people, which is not a long-term way. The ambition of the golden man and the wolf son can not be compared to the Liao country! Sooner or later, there will be another invasion of the south, and at that time, who will be able to stand up and turn the tide? ”

Lu Hao's tone was not so pessimistic, "I think that the old general doesn't need to worry too much, although the two of us are in prison, there is still Wanshu, and the county lord will definitely find a way to save us two old men." ”

Zong Ze shook his head, "Wanshu? Now the official family is most afraid of her, she is unable to protect herself, how can she save us? Now I only hope that she can leave Kaifeng as soon as possible to avoid trouble, otherwise, her life will be rested. ”

Lu Hao asked him to sigh for a long time, depressed, and immediately said, "How about we make a bet?" If Wanshu saves us, I want a jar of your treasured "snow mellow" wine, if Wanshu doesn't come to save us......"

Zong Ze asked curiously, "What about it?" ”

"In the underworld, I invite you to drink an extra bowl of Meng Po soup!"

After hearing this, Zong Ze immediately laughed, "Okay! Deal. ”
