Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty-One
When the third young master of the Tang family pointed Jiangshan and was full of ambitions, there was silence in the study of Xue Liang, the chief helm of the Bianhe gang.
In the past, a little servant of Ding's family in Bazhou, Sao Zhuer, is now the chief helm of more than 40,000 heroes who rely on water for their food on the Bian River, surpassing the other three major gangs. The temperament is quite different from that of the past.
He is very clear about what his good brother Yang Hao, who grew up with him, has done and experienced all these years.Haozi went to Hexi and paid homage to the Grand Marshal of Hexi Longyou; Haozi defeated Li Guangrui and took over Dingnan Wuzhou; all know.
Haozi has never looked for him since he became a Huang Tengda, no matter when he was still a nominal official of the Song Dynasty, or after he proclaimed himself emperor, he never sent a letter to him, but he never complained in his heart especially.Brothers who grew up together, brothers who depended on each other, brothers who lived and died together, he knew Yang Hao just as he knew himself.
He knew that his brother didn't come to him, the only reason was because he had his own life, he already had a home, and his home was in Bianliang, on the Bian River that provided food and clothing for millions of people in Tokyo.He has a father-in-law and a mother-in-law, a lovely wife, and now he is a father and the chief helm of the Bianhe gang.His home is here, his career is here!
But his brother has become the official's enemy, so he doesn't get in touch with him, he is afraid that the identity between the two will be exposed and it will bring him any disadvantage.Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never come to him during the hostility of the court.
Playing with the piece of boxwood in his hand, stroking the warm wood, he could feel that the knife he made back then was always carried by Haozi on his body, and he often played with it, so now it has such an effect when he strokes it, Xue Liang His eyes couldn't help becoming warmer.
The simple and honest young man back then, after several years of training, every move and even every look in his eyes has become quite majestic. He can hold down the Bianhe gang and become brothers, make friends with the government dignitaries, and other gangsters. Intrigue, how can there be no city mansion, people with city mansion will naturally have a dignified aura like a mountain.Only in front of his brother can he completely take off his disguise and return to that shameful pig back then.
"This knife was given to me by him. He said, don't bother you until the last step. Now, the road ahead is dead. Although I have returned to Kaifeng smoothly, I can do it in a day or two. After a while, the deeds will be exposed, so I can only turn to Big Brother Xue to hide us or transport us out. However, there is one thing I want to say first, this girl is Princess Yongqing..."
"Why did you tell me her identity? Wouldn't it be better if you don't find a reason?"
"This is what he told me. Brother Xue has a family and a business. Once he helps, he will take the risk of confiscating his family and exterminating his family. So he told me that he must not hide anything from Brother Xue. If Brother Xue is helpless, I can also completely Understood, we'll go right away."
Xue Liang let out a long breath, leaned on the back of the chair, and gently closed his eyes.
A faint fragrance wafted from the end of his nose, and a catkin lightly rested on his shoulder.Xue Liang took that warm hand and stroked it lightly.
"Da Liang."
"Sleeve, I'm sorry."
"Both husband and wife, what's your apology?"
Xue Liang turned around lightly, hugged Zhang Huaixiu's slender waist, and sleeve sat down on his lap meekly.
"I'm not alone now. I have you and my child. I helped my brother, and I dragged you and your child into danger..."
Xiu'er laughed softly, and put his arms around his neck tenderly: "But if you don't help him, you won't be a man standing up to the sky. You are my husband. Who doesn't want their husband to be a man who can stand up to the sky? Straighten up and be a good man?"
"Sleeve..."
"Besides, if you don't help him, you must feel uneasy, and you will never be happy in your life. I don't like to see you lose your smile."
"Sleeve!" Xue Liang hugged her emotionally.
Zhang Huaixiu gently stroked his hair, as if hugging his own child, and said softly: "I have ordered people to prepare the ship. It is the ship that transports the most secret cargo—Tianhai, cross the sea without knowing it." , for good luck. The Hedao Yamen has also sent people to take care of it..."
"This time, what was smuggled was not the goods, but the majestic princess. The matter is too important, I should go to the Yamen to arrange it myself..."
"Fool, that's why you can't go. Nowadays, the entire city of Tokyo is full of soldiers, and no official dares to follow the law. Once you show up in person, it will attract more attention. Treat it as an ordinary departure, and it will be easier to pass. "
"Well, I was reckless, or the lady is thoughtful."
"A total of 160 ships set off together. I specially placed some valuables under the bilge of the Tianhai ship carrying private goods, so that if someone finds out that they are carrying private goods, it will be safer. The princess and Zhe girl Hidden on it, I will take them on board myself, safe and sound."
Under the bilge of the cargo ship, another layer of dark cabins is built to carry private goods. Many experienced inspection officers in Kaifeng Prefecture and Hedao Yamen know this. There is another mechanism in the dark cabin on the upper deck. Between the dark cabin and the upper deck, there is a layer of walls that can hide people by taking advantage of the visual difference formed inside the hull. Once someone finds the dark cabin, they will only notice the dark cabin. The goods in the cabin, when he went down to the cabin to check or move the goods, he would never have thought that there was another world just above his head, in the narrow wall.
This design is a method of entrainment researched by the Bianhe Gang and the government for a long time. It is only used occasionally, so it is the safest.
"Good lady, Daliang has a wife like you, it's really... really..."
"What a fart!" Xiu'er glared at him coquettishly, and pressed her jade finger between his brows: "You men, you are so moved that you are happy to die at this moment. Hmph, it's not you anymore, you say, You usually flirt with Lao Jia's sister Feng Bao'er, did you plan to take her as a concubine?"
"I don't have it, am I not satisfied with a good lady like you, how can I be half-hearted..."
"Stop coming. Get ready, the sooner you go, the better. I'll pack up and take the child on the road with you."
"Ah? Are you going too?"
"Pig brains! If you want to help your brother, I support you, but you can't really put your wife and children at risk, right? Fortunately, my parents are not in Bianliang now, so I will go with you, and bring the second head, a hundred All sixty boats go out, let the second leader take the water transport boat to the south, let's go across the ocean together, if everything is in order, and it will not be too late to come back, if there is an accident, we will just go away and fly high."
"My lady, it's a great plan. If you have a good wife like this, it's really a husband..."
"Stop flattering me! If I see you flirting with Feng Baoer again, I'll throw a knife in my hand and castrate your ass off!"
On the surface, Zhao Yuanzuo's injury was not as serious as his father's, but his father was injured externally, but he hurt his heart, and this injury can only be healed slowly.But when he heard about the news of Empress Song and Emperor Defang, he immediately jumped up from the hospital bed, and when he saw the burned body of Emperor Defang, who was almost unrecognizable, he felt great grief and never again. I didn't go to see the corpses of Empress Song and Princess Yongqing.Defang is a man anyway, and the mother and daughter are both beautiful women, if they are burned to look like Defang, this nightmare will never go away. Immediately afterwards, he heard an introduction by Zhen Chuge, the commander of the Imperial City Division, who made Zhao Yuanzuo feel like a thunderbolt.What's wrong?Uncle Zhao Guangmei really did all of this?Flesh and blood relatives, why do you want to kill each other like this, why? This time, he didn't doubt his father, because at that time his father was almost killed, he saw it with his own eyes, and even he himself almost died, and no one else would use such a bitter trick.Since it is not the father, who else can it be?To kill the emperor and the prince, and then to take away Empress Song, the princess, and the prince after failing?Except for the uncle, who has such a good reason? He really didn't want to believe that this was the idea of his best friend, the emperor's uncle, but apart from the emperor's uncle, there was really no other person who had such a good reason.The concept of justice and family ethics that Zhao Yuanzuo had insisted on since childhood completely collapsed.Why?De Zhao hinted that it was my father who killed the late emperor, my father killed my uncle, and now my uncle is going to kill my father again, the throne is so important?For it, the close relatives of flesh and blood would kill each other like this? On this day, at the gate of the prison, a small sedan chair suddenly turned around, with four small yellow doors on the side of the sedan chair, holding a dust whisk in its hand, and looked proud.Seeing this grandeur, Chu Yunxiu, the governor of Chu Yunxiu who was guarding the sky prison, knew that it was someone from the palace, so he hurried up to see him. He thought it was some eunuch in the palace who came to deliver the order, so he didn't want to lift the sedan chair curtain and come out. It turned out to be Zhao Yuanzuo, the prince of the dynasty. The prince was wearing a bright yellow cross-collar gown embroidered with gold, and a black silk scarf on his head, but his cheeks were strangely pale. Chu Yunxiu hurriedly saluted and said: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and I am far away to welcome you. Forgive me, forgive me. I don't know if the prince came to the prison today, what can I tell you?" The prince's eyes fluttered a little, and he waved his hands and said: "Gu, I want to see that assassin. I want to ask him, whether he was ordered! I must listen to him personally, you get out of the way." Chu Yunxiu was shocked when he heard that, he blocked the door and did not dare to move, just bowed and said: "Prince, please forgive me for being rude. The state has state laws, although the crown prince has a high status, he is the heir of the country. Now he is not the son of heaven. He has no position in the court, and has no right to intervene in the affairs of the court." The prince was furious and shouted: "How dare you stop Gu?" "I don't dare. The responsibility of this minister is because the world respects the law of the country and respects the prince. Therefore, he never dares to follow the law to please the prince. Please be aware of the prince." The prince insisted on entering the prison, but Chu Yunxiu firmly refused, and the two argued for a long time, until Zhen Chuge, the Imperial City Secretary, and Da Nei knew that Gu Ruoli and others rushed to the palace after hearing the news, and then forced the prince back to the palace go. After Zhao Guangyi heard the news, he encouraged Chu Yunxiu, but he didn't blame the prince again, but only asked the people around him to take good care of the prince. Yuan Zuo stopped arguing to go to the prison, but his injury became more serious.If the heart disease does not go away, medicine and stones are difficult to cure, and the injury of the lungs and viscera becomes an intractable serious illness.Drinking the medicinal soup that is as bitter as Huanglian all day long, his heart is more bitter than Huanglian. Now he no longer goes to his father to quarrel and yell, but Zhao Guangyi is more worried than before. This child is in a trance all day long. Anyone who saw that look was worried. There is another person who is worried at the moment, and that is Pingzhangshi Ludoxun.That's all for Zhao Pu, who was originally a waste minister, but his official position was demoted by seventeen or eighteen ranks all of a sudden, and he was rushed to Sichuan to cultivate his morals.Compared with Ludoxon, he is used to the ups and downs.But Lu Duoxun failed, yesterday he was still the prime minister of the dynasty, but now he is a phoenix with fallen wings. Arriving in Yazhou, it is simply the ends of the earth.At that time, Qiongya in Guangdong was barren, and there were not many local aborigines. The dignified prime minister, from calling the wind and rain, calling for a hundred, has now withered, embarrassed, and the huge psychological gap is unbearable.Lu Duoxun himself knew that the emperor was purging the court by doing this. Among the people whom the emperor feared, he was definitely not the number one, but he was the prime minister. Resistance, maybe in a few years, he still has a chance to return to court. But how many years can life last?He is old, if he waits too long, he might really die of old age.Furthermore, he is not the only capable person in the world, but he was lucky enough to ascend to the phase, so he is famous all over the world.There are so many talents in the grass, the emperor wants to employ people, and he can find one at any time. Even if he returns to Beijing in the future, whether he can still have the honor today is in doubt. He only hopes to end this situation as soon as possible, so as soon as he arrives In Yazhou, he exhausted his thoughts and wrote a "Thank you form". Thunder, cloud and dew are all the grace of the king.Whether it is rewarding you or punishing you, you have to thank the emperor. It is the principle of being a minister to write a "Thank you form".What's more, writing a thank you form, in case His Majesty's heart softens, it's unknown to transfer him to a place nearer and with a better environment. As for him, he will have a chance to see the sun again one day sooner. In his "Thank You Table", there is a sentence "The meteor is far away, and the North Pole cannot be restrained; the sea and the sun are hanging in the sky, and you can't see Chang'an." There are many poems about Chang'an. Lu Duoxun feels that the word Chang'an is used here, which is neatly contrasted with the previous sentence and rhymes with the rhyme. It also fits the artistic conception. I miss you, Your Majesty, just like Yang Yuhuan in Huangquan misses Tang Xuanzong. Unexpectedly, the word Chang'an aroused Zhao Guangyi's fear.Now Zhao Guangmei is in Chang'an, and I don't know if Luo Kedi, who has received the secret decree, has succeeded, you old boy still looks away from Chang'an, who do you think?As a result, this "Thank You Form" fell into the sea like a stone, and there was no more text.Lu Duoxun didn't even receive the letter of consolation, and couldn't figure out the official's intentions for a while, so he had to settle down in Tiannan with all his heart.
The imperial court announced the death of Empress Song, King Qi and Princess Yongqing, and also directly announced that King Qi's charges had been upgraded. Now it was enough for him to be sentenced to death. Everyone knew that once he returned to Bianliang, he would surely die. But Cui Dalang didn't know, it's not that he didn't know, but he knew too late, because he had already arranged a killer when he revealed Zhao Guangmei's unruly behavior to the court, once the court took Zhao Guangmei, kill him! It is natural for Zhao Guangyi to carry this bad battle. Zhao Guangyi also had the idea of killing Zhao Guangmei on the way back to Beijing. A dead tiger is much safer than a tiger imprisoned. Once imprisoned, once the opportunity is seized, he can still sit in the Dragon Court and serve his children and grandchildren. The safest way to remove obstacles to the hereditary throne is, of course, to remove all threats early. But at this time, there happened to be an assassination and conspiracy case, and he made a decisive decision and arranged it on Zhao Guangmei's head. After this, Zhao Guangmei was speechless. I will not be punished for not teaching. Unexpectedly, the killer who had already been ordered by Cui Dalang had already started at this time. Zhao Guangmei, who was put under house arrest by Luo Kedi, was killed in her sleep before the court's order reached Chang'an, making Zhao Guangyi disgusting enough. Obviously there was a chance to execute him grandiosely, but the result turned out to be a bizarre assassination. Naturally, those who are interested can use it to manipulate him. It’s not that he was arranged. What could have been "reasonable and confident", but now it is full of doubts. How can Zhao Guangyi not hatred. At this time, Zhen Chuge had already reported to Zhao Guangyi the information that the Zheng family secretly provided money and people to support Zhao Guangmei, so although Zhao Guangyi announced the death of Song Niangniang, mother and son, he also learned of Qi Wang Guangmei's death, and the whole country searched and searched. Not only did the strength not relax, but it became stronger and stronger. How could he tolerate the existence of such a force? This is true in the open, and it is also true in the dark.He didn't see Yongtai's body. Although the boat was on the river at the time, it might not be possible that the arrow fell into the water, and it might be difficult to find it, but since the body was dead, he had to keep looking!Therefore, all over the Mingli government searched for Zheng's rebel party in a hurry, and secret agents in the imperial city sprang up everywhere, and continued to investigate the news of Princess Yongqing, and the whole Song Dynasty was overwhelmed. The exposed power of the Zheng family was uprooted overnight by the court, but such a hidden latent power, unless their core members are caught and they are willing to confess the truth, it is impossible to uproot it, even if he is in the Zheng family. Right under your nose, right above your court, you can't see it either, you can't kill all the people surnamed Zheng in the world, can you? Therefore, although the Zheng family's vitality was greatly injured, it did not hurt the root cause. From the Zheng family's point of view, Cui Dalang's warning, which had already been received, was clearly a threat.This is clearly because Cui Dalang saw that Qianzong's people did not listen to orders, and wanted to use the power of the Song court to cut his wings, and all the hatred was concentrated on the wronged Cui family. The two major forces began to fight openly and secretly. The political arena was turbulent, and spies were everywhere. Since the influence of the Cui and Zheng families spread across various industries, with their help, the entire Song Dynasty became a pot of boiling water, and the waves were magnificent...
On June day, the wind blows from the south.It's time to take a long voyage with the wind, Dongdu Daily. On the magnificent sea, white sails are like clouds, and more than 20 large ships are heading towards the Japanese island with full sail. The sea is flowing, and the clouds are flying across! Zhe Ziyu, dressed in black clothes, stood at the bow of the boat, facing the slightly fishy sea breeze, listening to the crowing of seagulls, looked back and said with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Yang Guifei did not die during the Mawei mutiny, but went eastward. Japan, I don’t know if it’s true, but now His Highness is the real royal family of the Central Plains.” Yongqing didn't know the whereabouts of his mother and emperor's younger brother so far, so he was really not very interested, he just forced a smile and said: "How is it possible, before the army of thousands of horses, how can it be fake?" Zhe Ziyu said: "Yang Yuhuan's status is noble, who dares to examine the corpse to humiliate the emperor after being forced to die? According to historical records, the soldiers of the three armies cheered when they heard that the concubine was dead. Remains. During the An Lushan rebellion, Xuanzong fled in a hurry, and several Tang envoys also fled Chang'an with him. Zhong Ma Lu went east to Japan. Although this matter was not known to the world, some people still knew the details. Bai Juyi said, "Yu Yan Kong died in the mud under the Mawei slope." Between', is alluding to this matter." Yongqing's small mouth curled slightly: "In the end, it is deceptive, illusory." Zhe Ziyu said: "Maybe, but Yang Yuhuan has always been kind to others, and has a deep friendship with Gao Lishi and Chen Yuanli. If he is rescued, it is possible. After the Mawei Mutiny, he went to Bashu Shouwang's territory. All the related people who fell into Li Hao's hands were killed by him, including Emperor Suzong's son, King Jianning, who was a member of the royal family, but Chen Yuanli was alive and well, and he was safe and sound. If it wasn't for the contribution to rescue Yang Yuhuan It's hard to imagine that Li Mao, the longevity king who still loves Yang Yuhuan deeply, killed all his cousins, but left her behind..." She was silent for a while, then smiled softly: "Who knows? It's unfair to force a woman to bear the burden of the country's prosperity and decline. If she really narrowly escaped death, that's great!" Princess Yongqing chewed her words, always felt that there was something deep in her words, and looked at her sideways, she was looking at her from a distance, and she seemed to be speaking inadvertently. When she was in Bianliang, Zhe Ziyu received the news that the dog had sent her back. She and Zhu Yun went to the southwest to search separately. When the dog found the Beiru River, it was already a step late. Some people dragged several corpses from the half-sunken boat, and she could only look at the river and sigh, and quietly returned. Because he brought Princess Yongqing with him, and the pictures of the imperial court have spread all over the world, it is difficult for Zhe Ziyu to take Princess Yongqing with him. Gou'er went to find Zhu Yun again, and the two returned to Hexi immediately, and reported the situation here to Yang Hao so that he would not worry about it, while he took Yongqing's property and went overseas temporarily to avoid the limelight under Xue Liang's arrangement.Because she was worried that Princess Yongqing's emotions would be agitated during the journey and something unexpected would happen, so until today, she has not told Yongqing about the death of Song Niangniang and Zhao Defang. This kind of pursuit of a case that threatens the imperial power, not to mention a month or two, will not stop even if it takes ten or eight years, thirty or fifty years. This is the case with Emperor Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty and the third prince Zhu in the early Qing Dynasty. Even if this matter is just speculation, the imperial court would rather believe it than spend a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate the matter in order to be safe.However, it is impossible for the imperial court to focus on this forever. The longer the time, the looser the investigation will be. Ziyu estimated that he will return to the Central Plains in half a year at most. As long as he keeps a low profile and is more cautious, he will be able to return to Hexi safely. Of course, she still has a second choice, which is to take the Liao Kingdom after arriving in Japan and return to Hexi from the Liao Kingdom. It is very likely that the portraits of Liao have been passed down to the Liao Kingdom. If they pass through the Liao Kingdom, they are not familiar with the places where they were born. It is easy for a few Han people who came from afar to attract the attention of others. Stunt, better to wait in Japan. The big ship stopped at the port of Sumida River, which is near Tokyo of the later generations, and it is still deserted at the moment. The so-called castle is not as good as the small town in the Central Plains. A few houses that look a bit like, are not the residences of lords and high-ranking samurai , which is where Chinese businessmen settled here. Seeing the large ship from the Central Plains approaching, some barefooted Japanese with white cloths on their heads came up on the pier, surrounded the steward suddenly, nodded and bowed and negotiated the price with him, and then happily went to unload the goods up. The couple Xue Liang and Zhang Huaixiu took Zhe Ziyu, Princess Yongqing and Zhang Shisan to another step and walked onto the pier. On the pier, Mrs. Zhang stood in front, and Zhang Xinglong's concubine Futian Sayuri pressed her hands on her knees. Standing neatly behind her.As soon as they got on the pier, Mrs. Zhang came up excitedly: "Hurry up, let me see my good grandson, oh, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I gained weight again, it hurts my grandma so much. " Zhang Huaixiu looked around and did not see his father Zhang Xinglong, so he said in surprise: "Mother, where is my father?" Mrs. Zhang hugged her grandson fondly, while teasing him, without raising her head, she said: "Your father helped Lord Fujiwara go to war, let me take you home first, and he will be back soon after the meal is ready." .Come, come, go, go, it's windy here, don't blow the child." Mrs. Zhang didn't know who those people behind were, she didn't even look up, she turned around and left with her precious grandson in her arms, Zhang Huaixiu was anxious when she heard that: "What, a war? What kind of war is he fighting? What if there is a war?" Anyway..." Mrs. Zhang teased her grandson, and said indifferently: "Hey, there are more than a hundred warriors under the command of a lord in this place. It is not as big as the scene of the Bianhe gang fighting. Your father has one or two under his hands here." As for the hundred people, what can happen. Besides, Lord Fujiwara has always been respectful to your father as a grandfather, and this time he came to the door to beg in person. Your father has a soft temper, so he is ashamed not to help? Fujiwara said, if you win this golden mountain, you will share 10% with your father..." "Jinshan?" Xue Liang and Xiu'er were at a loss, but this was not the place to talk about family matters, so they signaled to Zhe Ziyu and Princess Yongqing with a solemn hand, guarding the two of them, and followed the old lady to the city.
On the surface, Zhao Yuanzuo's injury was not as serious as his father's, but his father was injured externally, but he hurt his heart, and this injury can only be healed slowly.But when he heard about the news of Empress Song and Emperor Defang, he immediately jumped up from the hospital bed, and when he saw the burned body of Emperor Defang, who was almost unrecognizable, he felt great grief and never again.

Immediately afterwards, he heard an introduction by Zhen Chuge, the commander of the Imperial City Division, who made Zhao Yuanzuo feel like a thunderbolt.What's wrong?Uncle Zhao Guangmei really did all of this?Flesh and blood relatives, why do you want to kill each other like this, why? This time, he didn't doubt his father, because at that time his father was almost killed, he saw it with his own eyes, and even he himself almost died, and no one else would use such a bitter trick.Since it is not the father, who else can it be?To kill the emperor and the prince, and then to take away Empress Song, the princess, and the prince after failing?Except for the uncle, who has such a good reason?

On this day, at the gate of the prison, a small sedan chair suddenly turned around, with four small yellow doors on the side of the sedan chair, holding a dust whisk in its hand, and looked proud.Seeing this grandeur, Chu Yunxiu, the governor of Chu Yunxiu who was guarding the sky prison, knew that it was someone from the palace, so he hurried up to see him.

Unexpectedly, the word Chang'an aroused Zhao Guangyi's fear.Now Zhao Guangmei is in Chang'an, and I don't know if Luo Kedi, who has received the secret decree, has succeeded, you old boy still looks away from Chang'an, who do you think?As a result, this "Thank You Form" fell into the sea like a stone, and there was no more text.Lu Duoxun didn't even receive the letter of consolation, and couldn't figure out the official's intentions for a while, so he had to settle down in Tiannan with all his heart.
The imperial court announced the death of Empress Song, King Qi and Princess Yongqing, and also directly announced that King Qi's charges had been upgraded. Now it was enough for him to be sentenced to death. Everyone knew that once he returned to Bianliang, he would surely die. But Cui Dalang didn't know, it's not that he didn't know, but he knew too late, because he had already arranged a killer when he revealed Zhao Guangmei's unruly behavior to the court, once the court took Zhao Guangmei, kill him! It is natural for Zhao Guangyi to carry this bad battle. Zhao Guangyi also had the idea of killing Zhao Guangmei on the way back to Beijing. A dead tiger is much safer than a tiger imprisoned. Once imprisoned, once the opportunity is seized, he can still sit in the Dragon Court and serve his children and grandchildren. The safest way to remove obstacles to the hereditary throne is, of course, to remove all threats early. But at this time, there happened to be an assassination and conspiracy case, and he made a decisive decision and arranged it on Zhao Guangmei's head. After this, Zhao Guangmei was speechless. I will not be punished for not teaching. Unexpectedly, the killer who had already been ordered by Cui Dalang had already started at this time. Zhao Guangmei, who was put under house arrest by Luo Kedi, was killed in her sleep before the court's order reached Chang'an, making Zhao Guangyi disgusting enough. Obviously there was a chance to execute him grandiosely, but the result turned out to be a bizarre assassination. Naturally, those who are interested can use it to manipulate him. It’s not that he was arranged. What could have been "reasonable and confident", but now it is full of doubts. How can Zhao Guangyi not hatred. At this time, Zhen Chuge had already reported to Zhao Guangyi the information that the Zheng family secretly provided money and people to support Zhao Guangmei, so although Zhao Guangyi announced the death of Song Niangniang, mother and son, he also learned of Qi Wang Guangmei's death, and the whole country searched and searched. Not only did the strength not relax, but it became stronger and stronger. How could he tolerate the existence of such a force? This is true in the open, and it is also true in the dark.He didn't see Yongtai's body. Although the boat was on the river at the time, it might not be possible that the arrow fell into the water, and it might be difficult to find it, but since the body was dead, he had to keep looking!Therefore, all over the Mingli government searched for Zheng's rebel party in a hurry, and secret agents in the imperial city sprang up everywhere, and continued to investigate the news of Princess Yongqing, and the whole Song Dynasty was overwhelmed. The exposed power of the Zheng family was uprooted overnight by the court, but such a hidden latent power, unless their core members are caught and they are willing to confess the truth, it is impossible to uproot it, even if he is in the Zheng family. Right under your nose, right above your court, you can't see it either, you can't kill all the people surnamed Zheng in the world, can you? Therefore, although the Zheng family's vitality was greatly injured, it did not hurt the root cause. From the Zheng family's point of view, Cui Dalang's warning, which had already been received, was clearly a threat.This is clearly because Cui Dalang saw that Qianzong's people did not listen to orders, and wanted to use the power of the Song court to cut his wings, and all the hatred was concentrated on the wronged Cui family. The two major forces began to fight openly and secretly. The political arena was turbulent, and spies were everywhere. Since the influence of the Cui and Zheng families spread across various industries, with their help, the entire Song Dynasty became a pot of boiling water, and the waves were magnificent...
On June day, the wind blows from the south.It's time to take a long voyage with the wind, Dongdu Daily. On the magnificent sea, white sails are like clouds, and more than 20 large ships are heading towards the Japanese island with full sail. The sea is flowing, and the clouds are flying across! Zhe Ziyu, dressed in black clothes, stood at the bow of the boat, facing the slightly fishy sea breeze, listening to the crowing of seagulls, looked back and said with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Yang Guifei did not die during the Mawei mutiny, but went eastward. Japan, I don’t know if it’s true, but now His Highness is the real royal family of the Central Plains.” Yongqing didn't know the whereabouts of his mother and emperor's younger brother so far, so he was really not very interested, he just forced a smile and said: "How is it possible, before the army of thousands of horses, how can it be fake?" Zhe Ziyu said: "Yang Yuhuan's status is noble, who dares to examine the corpse to humiliate the emperor after being forced to die? According to historical records, the soldiers of the three armies cheered when they heard that the concubine was dead. Remains. During the An Lushan rebellion, Xuanzong fled in a hurry, and several Tang envoys also fled Chang'an with him. Zhong Ma Lu went east to Japan. Although this matter was not known to the world, some people still knew the details. Bai Juyi said, "Yu Yan Kong died in the mud under the Mawei slope." Between', is alluding to this matter." Yongqing's small mouth curled slightly: "In the end, it is deceptive, illusory." Zhe Ziyu said: "Maybe, but Yang Yuhuan has always been kind to others, and has a deep friendship with Gao Lishi and Chen Yuanli. If he is rescued, it is possible. After the Mawei Mutiny, he went to Bashu Shouwang's territory. All the related people who fell into Li Hao's hands were killed by him, including Emperor Suzong's son, King Jianning, who was a member of the royal family, but Chen Yuanli was alive and well, and he was safe and sound. If it wasn't for the contribution to rescue Yang Yuhuan It's hard to imagine that Li Mao, the longevity king who still loves Yang Yuhuan deeply, killed all his cousins, but left her behind..." She was silent for a while, then smiled softly: "Who knows? It's unfair to force a woman to bear the burden of the country's prosperity and decline. If she really narrowly escaped death, that's great!" Princess Yongqing chewed her words, always felt that there was something deep in her words, and looked at her sideways, she was looking at her from a distance, and she seemed to be speaking inadvertently. When she was in Bianliang, Zhe Ziyu received the news that the dog had sent her back. She and Zhu Yun went to the southwest to search separately. When the dog found the Beiru River, it was already a step late. Some people dragged several corpses from the half-sunken boat, and she could only look at the river and sigh, and quietly returned. Because he brought Princess Yongqing with him, and the pictures of the imperial court have spread all over the world, it is difficult for Zhe Ziyu to take Princess Yongqing with him. Gou'er went to find Zhu Yun again, and the two returned to Hexi immediately, and reported the situation here to Yang Hao so that he would not worry about it, while he took Yongqing's property and went overseas temporarily to avoid the limelight under Xue Liang's arrangement.Because she was worried that Princess Yongqing's emotions would be agitated during the journey and something unexpected would happen, so until today, she has not told Yongqing about the death of Song Niangniang and Zhao Defang. This kind of pursuit of a case that threatens the imperial power, not to mention a month or two, will not stop even if it takes ten or eight years, thirty or fifty years. This is the case with Emperor Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty and the third prince Zhu in the early Qing Dynasty. Even if this matter is just speculation, the imperial court would rather believe it than spend a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate the matter in order to be safe.However, it is impossible for the imperial court to focus on this forever. The longer the time, the looser the investigation will be. Ziyu estimated that he will return to the Central Plains in half a year at most. As long as he keeps a low profile and is more cautious, he will be able to return to Hexi safely. Of course, she still has a second choice, which is to take the Liao Kingdom after arriving in Japan and return to Hexi from the Liao Kingdom. It is very likely that the portraits of Liao have been passed down to the Liao Kingdom. If they pass through the Liao Kingdom, they are not familiar with the places where they were born. It is easy for a few Han people who came from afar to attract the attention of others. Stunt, better to wait in Japan. The big ship stopped at the port of Sumida River, which is near Tokyo of the later generations, and it is still deserted at the moment. The so-called castle is not as good as the small town in the Central Plains. A few houses that look a bit like, are not the residences of lords and high-ranking samurai , which is where Chinese businessmen settled here. Seeing the large ship from the Central Plains approaching, some barefooted Japanese with white cloths on their heads came up on the pier, surrounded the steward suddenly, nodded and bowed and negotiated the price with him, and then happily went to unload the goods up. The couple Xue Liang and Zhang Huaixiu took Zhe Ziyu, Princess Yongqing and Zhang Shisan to another step and walked onto the pier. On the pier, Mrs. Zhang stood in front, and Zhang Xinglong's concubine Futian Sayuri pressed her hands on her knees. Standing neatly behind her.As soon as they got on the pier, Mrs. Zhang came up excitedly: "Hurry up, let me see my good grandson, oh, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I gained weight again, it hurts my grandma so much. " Zhang Huaixiu looked around and did not see his father Zhang Xinglong, so he said in surprise: "Mother, where is my father?" Mrs. Zhang hugged her grandson fondly, while teasing him, without raising her head, she said: "Your father helped Lord Fujiwara go to war, let me take you home first, and he will be back soon after the meal is ready." .Come, come, go, go, it's windy here, don't blow the child." Mrs. Zhang didn't know who those people behind were, she didn't even look up, she turned around and left with her precious grandson in her arms, Zhang Huaixiu was anxious when she heard that: "What, a war? What kind of war is he fighting? What if there is a war?" Anyway..." Mrs. Zhang teased her grandson, and said indifferently: "Hey, there are more than a hundred warriors under the command of a lord in this place. It is not as big as the scene of the Bianhe gang fighting. Your father has one or two under his hands here." As for the hundred people, what can happen. Besides, Lord Fujiwara has always been respectful to your father as a grandfather, and this time he came to the door to beg in person. Your father has a soft temper, so he is ashamed not to help? Fujiwara said, if you win this golden mountain, you will share 10% with your father..." "Jinshan?" Xue Liang and Xiu'er were at a loss, but this was not the place to talk about family matters, so they signaled to Zhe Ziyu and Princess Yongqing with a solemn hand, guarding the two of them, and followed the old lady to the city.
