This flattery touched Zhao Deji's heart, and he smiled and said: "That's okay. Mrs. Zhang said she dreamed of the Queen Mother earlier. In the past two days, Tianwei dreamed of the Queen Mother again. It seems that she really has a spirit in heaven to protect me. I want to have a son Luo…”
His country was supported by the Queen Mother, and he was naturally deeply grateful to this aunt. The ancients were superstitious, and successive concubines and sisters had dreams of the Queen Mother, and it was just after he "favored" Hua Rong. , he became more and more convinced, intoxicated in his own glory, imagining that even last night, his "son" was already in the making.
The more Eunuch Kang saw that he was prouder, the more afraid he became. Now Hua Rong has fled to the Queen Mother's Buddhist hall to hide for a while, but how can he escape for the rest of his life? If you want your minister to die, you will have to die. If you want you to sleep with him, you will have to sleep with him. If the matter is exposed and the whole body is affected, what will you do
In time, he thought that his property had been safely transferred to his sworn brother, King Qin. Not only that, King Qin also gave him generous dividends in proportion, which can be said to be money begetting money. Because of this, he subconsciously did not want King Qin to The "woman" was abused by Zhao Deji, and she was a little happy to see Hua Rong escape.
Fortunately, Zhao Deji didn't have Hua Rong, so he naturally had other concubines, so he immediately went to Xiao Liu's place to have fun. Strangely enough, when he arrived at Xiao Liu's place, he saw that Xiao Liu's face was smiling and pleasing, and she was serving her attentively, and his love for love faded away. , actually you still need to take aphrodisiacs to achieve OOXX.
But when Yue Pengju left Lin'an, he had been reminded by several aides, such as Li Ruoxu, Yu Peng and others, that he had fully estimated the murderous hand of Zhao Deji and Qin Hui. The only thing he didn't know was that Jin Wushu had mentioned in the first article of the peace treaty regulations. I want to die by myself.
Naturally, his wife and children were not at ease when they stayed in the capital. He was constantly deciding between defecting and being exiled. After traveling for seven or eight days with such worry, he received an urgent delivery. Chuzhou was raided by the sudden army, because there was no Han Zhongliang to set up defenses. , the army fled at the wind, and the Jin army won without a fight and captured several states and counties.
However, the Jin army could not go deeper because they were facing a shortage of food, so they had to kill mules and horses and captured slaves to satisfy the hunger of the Han people. Jin Wushu did not want to waste any more energy, so he ordered Tuhe to retreat quickly. On the western battlefield On the previous day, Saili was attacked by Wu Lin's army from Sichuan and Shaanxi again and suffered heavy losses. Wu Lin was the son of the famous general Wu Jie. Since Jin Wushu took command of the army, he never took any advantage in the hands of Yue Pengju and Wu Jie. Naturally, he did not want to fight again, but he urgently added another clause to the peace negotiation with Song Dynasty, asking Zhao Deji to immediately order Wu Lin to withdraw his troops, and reiterated that the first condition of the negotiation was to kill Yue Pengju. He also sent his clever words and seductions in the accompanying letter. , coercion and inducement, and asked Concubine Wei Xian to write a letter in her own hand.
After Zhao Deji received the secret report, he naturally did not dare to delay and immediately ordered Wu Lin to retreat. Especially when he saw his biological mother's autograph, detailing the suffering in a foreign land and the desire to return. The words were plaintive and full of tears. It was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. While crying, he held the sword and struck it on the table: "Whoever dares to obstruct the return of the Queen Mother is my enemy!"
Concubine Wei Xian's letter has been circulated among the courtiers. For a while, the voices opposing the peace negotiation no longer dared to appear in public. The ministers pretended to cry bitterly along with Zhao Deji. Then, with great fanfare, they tore off all the fig leaves and publicly announced the "peace negotiation to welcome the Queen Mother". Make a grand entrance.
It was under such circumstances that Yue Pengju was hurriedly recalled by Zhao Deji with a gold-lettered plaque. On the surface, he was naturally appreciating the high-sounding excuse of "you are loyal to the country and entrusted with important tasks", but in his heart, he was afraid of letting the tiger out of the box. , once you leave Chuzhou, you will never be able to capture him again. If you cannot capture him, you will not be able to report to the Fourth Prince.
Yue Pengju had a complete understanding of the emperor's thoughts at this time, but his wife and son were still in Lin'an, so how could he not go back? He did not hesitate and immediately set out on his way home. After only one day of walking, he received news from his wife, which was three flowers sent by her wife. According to the agreement before leaving, these flowers were the ones she had thought of. A solution is coming soon, tell him never to go back.
Yue Pengju took the flowers and came up with a plan. He "fell ill" in the shop that night, saying that he could not go on the road for a while. However, after only one day of "rest", he received news from Zhang Xian that it was Zhang Jun who summoned Zhang Xian to his army. Central discussion.
When Yue Pengju received this news, his world was spinning. The dragnet had been opened. Once Zhang Xian was among Zhang Junjun, where could he survive
It turned out that after Yue Pengju was dismissed, two generals, Zhang Xian and Wang Gui, temporarily commanded the troops in Ezhou. Last month, Zhang Xian received an order from Zhang Jun and had to go to Zhang Jun's army to report on his duties. He did not dare to disobey, so he only brought two guards with him. He rushed to Zhang Jun's army. As soon as he arrived, he was captured by Zhang Jun. Zhang Xian refused to accept and asked loudly: "What crime did you commit?"
Zhang Jun laughed ferociously and took out a piece of paper: "You want to rebel, but you still dare to quibble?"
When Zhang Xian looked at the petition, he found that the content on it was actually a letter he had written to Wang Jun, a subordinate officer. The main idea was: "Xianggong Yue was under house arrest in Lin'an. He sent a secret letter saying that he would try to escape to Ezhou and that he would discuss rescue with Wang Jun. Flee." And this letter was exposed by Wang Jun.
Blood rushed to Zhang Xian's forehead: "The handwriting of this letter is not from my hand. How dare Wang Jun make false accusations with red lips and white teeth? Mr. Zhang just took the handwriting and found out by comparing it."
Zhang Jun clapped his hands, and Wang Jun and the commander Wang Gui walked out together. After Yue Pengju was deposed from military power, Zhang Jun went to his army, first found Wang Gui, rewarded him with a large amount of property, and gave him several beautiful concubines to serve him. Yue Pengju had never done such a good thing in his army. He was even criticized tactfully by Yue Pengju for taking concubines. In addition, he was coerced and induced by Zhang Jun, so he had no choice but to cooperate.
When Zhang Xian saw Wang Jun, he wanted to rush forward and tear the evil thief to pieces, but he was grabbed by several soldiers and unable to move. He cursed bitterly: "Everyone in the army knows how many times you have been beaten and punished by your own department for being corrupt and bending the law." Second time. I have no relationship with you, and there is still a gap. Even if there is something secret, how can I conspire with you, a ruthless person? "
Wang Jun sneered: "Zhang Xian, who doesn't know that you and Yue Peng are in trouble? You are just a dog he raised. You two are disobedient and treasonous, let's see what happens to you..."
Zhang Xian's eyes moved towards Wang Gui. Wang Gui had known him for many years and in his heart he really didn't want to harm him. However, he was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off. If he didn't harm him, his own life would not be saved, so he didn't dare to make eye contact with him at all.
Zhang Jun gave an order with a ferocious smile, and several guards took a special giant shackle weighing 56 kilograms and handcuffed Zhang Xian from top to bottom: "Take him to Dali Temple Prison to await trial."
Wang Gui watched him being taken away in heavy shackles, and he sadly understood that such a blatant and baseless accusation could go unimpeded. The next step, the one wearing the shackles would be Yue Pengju, the famous general he had followed for more than ten years. Got it!
Hua Rong finally hid in the Queen Mother's Buddhist Hall with Princess Tianwei, and finally spent two days of peace. But this was not a long-term solution. As soon as she and Tianwei combined, Tianwei went to the palace to report, according to the two People made up lies, saying that the Queen Mother had a dream, how to pray for a child, and so on. What surprised Tianwei was that Zhang Yingying cooperated all the way. Zhang Yingying is eloquent and is still the most favored by Zhao Deji after Xiao Liu. Concubine, she and Tianwei sang together and said that the Queen Mother had a dream, to the effect that she wanted the officials to fast for half a month, so that they could have a son.
The so-called fasting is a euphemistic way of saying "quitting". If Zhao Deji was allowed to "quit" for half a month, it would probably kill him. But at this time, he heard Zhang Yingying and Tianwei both say that fasting is the only way to do this. Showing sincerity. Anyway, he couldn't be humane without Wang Jixian's medicine, so he simply announced that he would not call Wang Jixian for half a month. Under the dual temptation of Dezi and Dehuarong, he agreed to fast for half a month for the first time.
The emperor fasted, and Hua Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly returned to "Yiyuan" under other names.
Seeing that her mother and son had returned safely, Li Yian hurriedly welcomed her in. When the two of them entered the back room, Hua Rongping stepped back and closed the door. After that night, she knew that there were only two ways in front of her: one was to let Zhao Deji play with him , one is to disobey orders and be killed by him. She is unwilling to take either of these paths, and is very anxious: "I have fought for half a month, but I can't wait any longer. Otherwise, Pengju's return to Lin'an will be life or death..."
"Sister Seventeen, if that's the case, I've already packed up your delicate baggage for you. So you just took Hu Tou and Mr. Yue and escaped. As of now, there is no other way to think of..."
Hua Rong nodded dejectedly: "If we have no choice, we have no choice but to do this. I have secretly sent a message to Pengju, and we will leave as soon as his message arrives. Anyway, this half month can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes."
The two discussed for a while, but maybe it was because of hunger that the little Hutou started crying in his mother's arms. Li Yian hadn't seen the child for a few days, so he quickly picked it up and coaxed him softly: "Be good, Hutou, let's eat..."
Li Yian carefully prepared the meal. In order to appease Hua Rong's mood, the meal was very sumptuous. Hua Rong had been depressed these days, so she had a peaceful meal when she got home that night. Once she was full, she felt better. .
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yian saw that she looked tired, so he asked her to go back to her room to rest. Before she finished speaking, a male servant knocked on the door and came in and whispered: "Madam, we have a visitor..."
These days, Hua Rong was deeply frightened by the word "visitor". When she raised her head and reflexively wanted to refuse, she saw someone walking in with high strides.
She hugged her son and sat blankly on the chair, unable to move.
Li Yian was also very surprised. The man who came in was dressed as a gentleman, served luxuriously, and wore a "valley scarf" that was only popular in the local area. He was smiling and very proud. As soon as he came in, he seemed to be no one else, and his eyes were fixed on the sleeping soundly man. on the little tiger head.
Hua Rong was so frightened by this terrifying look that he was even more frightened than when he faced Zhao Deji. He subconsciously hugged his son tightly, his vest was cold.
The visitor spoke slowly, and his voice was as humble and gentle as his smile: "Mrs. Yue, it's been a long time..."
Hua Rong stood up and said sternly: "Jin Wushu, how dare you come to Lin'an of Song Dynasty..."
Jin Wushu smiled and said lightly: "Lin'an is the same as Kaifeng, Yingtian and other places. I have always been able to come and go whenever I wanted. Madam Yue, your memory is too bad. Did you forget it?"
Li Yian heard that the person turned out to be Jin Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom and the most powerful official in the Song and Jin Dynasties today. He was surprised and frightened. In the palace of the Song Dynasty, Jin people came and went freely. No wonder he supported Zhao Deji in negotiating peace. The voices kept coming and going.
Hua Rong hugged her son tightly: "What do you want to do?"
