Chapter 319: Change of Dynasty
"Junshi!"
A hurried step into the room startled Lu Xiufu, who was working at the desk.
Raising his head, Lu Xiufu looked at the person in front of him and shouted in a low voice: "Su Liuyi, have you forgotten what I told you? Have you forgotten this?"
"But. ”
Su Liuyi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and hurriedly said: "That Xiao Feng, recently issued an edict to the whole dynasty, announcing that she has been appointed as the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He wants us to surrender immediately. Otherwise, we will be declared rebels, and we will be exterminated. ”
"Is that what happened?"
Lu Xiufu frowned, still maintaining his previous calm attitude, but his trembling hands seemed to expose the worry in his heart.
Su Liuyi closed his head and replied, "That's right. Looking at the person in front of him, he asked again: "If this is the case, then what should we do?" After all, the other party is the Huaxia Army, and if we want to resist, it will be extremely painful." ”
Originally, a Yuan army was already uncomfortable enough, but now that the Huaxia army is coming out like this, it really makes them feel uncomfortable.
"What about Concubine Yang and King Yi, and how are they doing?" Lu Xiufu asked again.
Su Liu Yi replied: "Since you came out, they have been placed in Pufu, and now everything is fine. It's just that I haven't told them the news yet. After all, if they heard this, they were afraid that they would be shaken. ”
"That's good. ”
Lu Xiufu closed his head and replied, feeling a little relieved.
Zhao Xian, the king of Yi, was rescued from the Yuan army when he arrived in Lin'an, and this person was also regarded by him as the most important chess piece to turn the situation around, if there was no chess piece, there would really be no hope.
Closing the book in his hand, Lu Xiufu stood up: "Since they have recovered, they should also go and take a look, right?"
"I see!"
Su Liuyi nodded, and immediately took Lu Xiufu to the Fashi Temple where Zhao Xian and Concubine Yang were located.
Before entering, a childish voice came from the Nafa Stone Temple.
"Mother, why are we leaving Lin'an?"
"O king. A gentle female voice came out, and she said, "Isn't it because a bad guy is coming?" ”
"Oh, when can we go back? I miss grandma!"
"This!" the female voice hesitated privately, and only after a long time did she say, "Wang'er, have you seen the iron tree over there? As long as the iron tree blooms, we can go back and see grandma." ”
"Alas!"
Hearing this, Lu Xiufu's expression became more and more gloomy, the two people who were talking were Yiwang Zhao Xian and Concubine Yang, this Zhao Xian is only seven or eight years old now, and he is still in ignorance, where does he know what happened in Lin'an, and what Concubine Yang said was obviously fooling Zhao Xian.
Stopping outside the temple, Lu Xiufu thought about the news he had just gotten, and he didn't know how to tell the two.
"Is it Mr. Lu?"
At this time, the voice of Concubine Yang came from the temple, and it was obvious that she had also sensed the existence of Lu Xiufu.
Lu Xiufu's footsteps moved slightly, stepped into the Fashi Temple, and saw that in the corner of the garden, there was a young woman squatting, this woman was also delicate, but her brows were tightly locked, but with a little sadness, it was the Yang Taifei, and the immature child she was holding in her arms was also the current Song Dynasty Yiwang Zhao Xian.
"Minister Lu Xiufu, meet King Yi and Concubine Yang. ”
Bowing down, Lu Xiufu saluted the two, although the Song Dynasty was destroyed, the rules still existed, and they couldn't just be abandoned.
"Mr. Lu, the slave family is just a woman, how can she bear such courtesy? Please don't be so respectful in the future. Concubine Yang seemed to be a little unaccustomed to it, so she quickly stood up and bowed to Lu Hideo.
When she was in Lin'an, she thought that she would be taken away by the Yuan army like the other concubines, and then live a miserable life in the north.
Who would have thought that this Lu Xiufu suddenly appeared and took her, including her child Zhao Xian, out of Lin'an, because of this matter, Concubine Yang has always had a lot of respect for Lu Xiufu.
Lu Xiufu shook his head and complained: "Although Lin'an is broken, the etiquette cannot be abolished. Although there was no one around, he always stood a foot away from Concubine Yang, and his eyes were full of righteousness, and there was a sense of rejection all over his body.
"It's Mr. Lu!"
Zhao Xian also saw Lu Xiufu appear here, immediately raised his head, and asked, "Mr. Lu, can you tell me when I will see my grandmother? Concubine Yang also raised her head together and looked at Lu Xiufu with expectant eyes.
Lu Xiufu shook his body, then stood up straight, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager Xie is safe and sound now." It's just going to take some time if we want to meet. ”
He still has a lot of trust in the actions of the Huaxia Army, and he will not act like the Yuan Army, so he can naturally ensure Xie Daoqing's safety. It's just that now that Xie Dao Qingyuan is in Jiangling Mansion, it is obviously impossible for him to come over and meet the two.
"Oh!"
Zhao Xian felt a little lost.
Concubine Yang comforted: "Wang'er." As long as you persevere, there will always be a chance to meet. Then he cheered up, looked at Lu Xiufu and asked, "By the way, Mr. Lu, that Quanzhou Pu Shougeng, hasn't he allowed us to enter the city yet?"
Since leaving Lin'an, they went all the way south and came to the area of Quanzhou, intending to establish an anti-Yuan base here, but Pu Shougeng, the governor of Quanzhou, didn't know what he was thinking, and directly blocked everyone out of the city, otherwise why would they fall into the wild and be forced to stay in this Fashi Temple?
"I'm sorry, he hasn't said yes yet. ”
Lu Xiufu shook his head, seeing that Concubine Yang's eyes were slightly dark, he hurriedly comforted: "Of course." Please also ask Concubine Yang to rest assured, I will do my best to complete it. ”
"That's good. ”
Concubine Yang said gratefully, in this wilderness, if it weren't for the protection of the man in front of her, I was afraid that she and Zhao Xian in her arms would die.
When Lu Xiufu heard the word "slave family", although he frowned slightly, he gave up helplessly, and then said, "That's good." His gaze swept over Zhao Xian's body, obviously revealing some worry.
Concubine Yang was thoughtful, and hurriedly patted Zhao Xian, and complained, "Wang'er, have you forgotten the homework that your husband once assigned?"
Zhao Xian's body trembled, and seeing Lu Xiufu's eyes looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head and excused: "I'm sorry sir, I didn't finish the homework you assigned before. Then he climbed out of Concubine Yang's arms, bowed respectfully, and then turned around and walked towards the back room.
Obviously, he was going to finish his unfinished business.
After Zhao Xian left, Concubine Yang stabilized her thoughts, and then said, "Mr. Lu." Wang Er is now gone, if there is anything you want to say, you can say it now. ”
"Honorable Order!"
Closing his head slightly, Lu Xiufu always guarded his square inch, and complained: "According to the news I have obtained now, Xie Changyuan and Zhao Mengchuan have been subdued and assassinated by the people sent by the Huaxia Army. And those they detained, including Lu Shimeng, Wen Tianxiang and others, also escaped smoothly. ”
"Oh, that's really a happy thing, but what about the Empress Dowager, what's wrong with her?" said Concubine Yang with a little brilliance on her face.
Lu Xiufu paused, and then replied: "The Empress Dowager, she was taken away by the people of the Huaxia Army, and now she has settled in Jiangling Mansion." ”
"Huaxia Army?alas, the King of Jin, is really for this purpose, otherwise why would he send people to go deep into the Jiangnan area to operate?" Concubine Yang sighed, from Lu Xiufu's solemn expression, she could guess that this matter was not so simple: "But as long as the Empress Dowager can be safe and sound, it will be enough! If she is taken to the north, she may not be treated well." ”
The shame of Jingkang was the shame of the entire Song Dynasty, and the experience of those concubines and royal relatives at that time has already shown that these Tartars are not Han Chinese, but a group of real beasts.
With Xie Daoqing's age, I'm afraid he won't live long.
Lu Xiufu nodded slightly, as if he agreed with this point, but when he thought of the previous news, he felt that his chest was full of resentment, and said: "It's just that the empress dowager, she-"
"What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?" asked Concubine Yang with a little surprise.
Lu Xiufu took a deep breath before complaining: "She appointed that Xiao Feng as the prime minister of our dynasty and made him in charge of all important military and political affairs in the country. ”
"Is that so?" Concubine Yang smiled bitterly, not reacting much to this matter.
"I see? Concubine Yang, do you know what this matter represents? It means that from now on, Xiao Feng will completely incorporate everything in our dynasty into the Huaxia Army, and then she will be able to cover the sky with one hand, and we will not be able to escape her palm at that time. Lu Xiufu felt unacceptable, and he did not maintain his previous flat look.
Concubine Yang didn't care much, she replied, "Of course I know. It's just that since the King of Jin has saved the Queen Mother, it is only natural for the Queen Mother to repay the favor. And with the talent of King Jin, there is nothing wrong with serving as the prime minister of our dynasty, isn't it? At least in this world, she is the only one who can stop the Yuan army, isn't it? Moreover, she also established Zhao Yu as the emperor, which shows that there is still respect in her heart. ”
"Alas!"
Lu Xiufu sighed, thinking that the other party was really a woman, and he didn't know anything about these things, so he immediately raised his voice and explained: "But do you know that Xiao Feng is a wolf, and the reason why she wants to save the Empress Dowager is just to clear the obstacles." When he really becomes the prime minister, he will attack us. At that time, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty will be controlled by her, not to mention a mere emperor at that time, it is possible to change the dynasty. ”
"A change of dynasty?"
Concubine Yang was obviously frightened and asked in a low voice.
Lu Xiufu nodded and replied: "That's right, it's a change of dynasty." Do you know that Xiao Feng has abolished the name of the first emperor's year, changed it to the Huaxia year, and even let everyone take Huaxia as the name of the country, and do not allow the Song Kingdom to reappear. Isn't this a change of dynasty?"
"Is that really the case?" continued to ask Concubine Yang, still a little puzzled.
Lu Xiufu closed his head and replied: "That's right!"
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, Xiao Feng's actions were just ordinary preparations for usurpation.
But from Lu Xiufu's vision, he naturally knew that what Xiao Feng did was for a greater goal, not just to change the dynasty, otherwise he could just announce his ascension to the throne, where would it cost so much to change the tradition of promulgating the era name on the throne of each emperor in the past, and instead focus on a clearer Chinese chronology, and even abolished all the official positions of the previous Song Dynasty, and instead established a bureaucratic system with the parliament, the prime minister's office, and the court as the core?
Although Lu Xiufu was limited to his vision, he didn't know what Xiao Feng was spending so much effort for.
But he clearly understood that for Xiao Feng, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was just a tool, a tool used to reduce the resistance to reform, and if she waited until the tool lost its effect, she would directly discard it, there is no doubt about this.
