Soon, when the Mingjiao people were preparing to return to Yuezhou, they heard the rumble of the brigade after a short while.
Naturally, they came from Lin'an and Hangzhou to go south to the Xinwang Army and Chariot Brigade in Yuezhou. The elders of Mingjiao who knew everything immediately ordered to avoid these people who believed in the king's army. They left their horse team and let the soldiers of the letter king pass first. They were polite, and the soldiers of the letter king were not polite. They rushed forward and rushed over the flowers and plants.
At the same time, this group of Mingjiao members surnamed Wu also felt an aura and was shocked. All the people who believed in the king's army exuded a fierce aura. This group of troops with only more than a thousand people gathered together one by one exuding murderous aura, but it made people involuntarily shiver.
There is a luxurious eight-horse horse-drawn carriage in the queue. On the golden square canopy of the carriage, there is a dragon-head copper roof. This square canopy has a yellow curtain hanging down, which shows a sense of luxury. . Although they have a large team, they don't even fight the banner.
The elders of Mingjiao looked at the front team and the luxurious atmosphere, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Under the torrent of history, Mingjiao also had a glorious time, but things changed so quickly. Once upon a time, the country was founded and reigned, and it was so brilliant. And now, only when Zhong Xiang, the right apologist of the sacred religion, revolted, his brilliance would reappear.
At this moment, Mei'er suddenly flew out and shouted in a silver bell-like voice on the side of the eight-horse cart: "Hey, are you Xinwang Qiansui?" She called twice in succession! The convoy of Xin Wang Jun stopped.
The golden curtain was lifted, and the letter king Zhao Zhen showed his head and said, "It's you..." He looked at the Wu clan and said, "What's the matter? Tell me if you have something!"
Meier said, "Aren't you Believe in the King? Why are you so squeamish that you only ride in a carriage and not ride a horse? Are you really His Royal Highness in the King?"
Originally, Zhao Zhen would definitely take care of the beauty first. However, because Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had something in her heart, she accidentally entangled with the beautiful girl. He frowned and said, "It's okay, I'll leave!" Mei'er smiled and said, "I want to be with you... I've heard your name a long time ago, and want to hear about your anti-money deeds."
There is a beauty meeting, it is impossible for Zhao Zhen not to eat the meat of her mouth, naturally it is impossible to refuse. The letter king Zhao Ying hesitated, and pretended not to want to say: "This king is going to Yuezhou, and he won't stop on the way. Talk to your family members, get in the car when you go, or go away!"
Mei'er said with joy: "You wait!" Then she dialed the horse back. The elder heard their words long ago, and his eyes lit up and said, "I have heard it! You girl, do you want to take someone's car? Meier said: "I just want to find out with King Xin if his legend is true."
The elder smiled and said: "Since they are going to Yuezhou, they are on the same route, or if they go together, Mei'er doesn't want to eat this dust, so it's up to you, girl, who can't bear all these hardships, but... Meier Don’t be ignorant of the etiquette in front of the prince, be polite, and let the old lady follow, I will allow it,” said the elder.
Lao Wangpo is a master of Mingjiao's elder generation. Don't think she is an old woman, but her skill is really top-notch. My father let it go, Meier liked it very much, and immediately jumped off the horse, and got into the king's carriage.
The car was tall and the old horseman pointed out that there was a stepped ladder beside the car, but Meier was naughty, Yun Qinggong catered Xiaoman's waist and jumped up all at once. Mei'er got into the carriage, and turned her head back and smiled at the old horseman. The old horseman was also an elderly person and was used to wind and rain. But after eating Mei'er's charming smile, the old spring in the withered heart also made a layer of ripples like a spring breeze.
Mei'er got into the gold-mantle carriage and immediately felt that it was better. There was an indescribable fragrance in the car, which was very uncomfortable because of the wind and sand.
There were also several waitresses and guards in the carriage. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen seemed unhappy as if she was unwilling to come in, but he politely bowed his hands. At this time, Old Lady Wang also got into the cart. Mei'er said hurriedly: "This is my mother!" Old Lady Wang said, "I can sit outside..." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had a cold face, no matter how she would be bothered by her!!! ? The prince didn't care, and she just sat outside. She and the old horseman talked in one tower but not another, and the old horseman didn't pay much attention to it.
"Believe the King Qiansui, I heard that you have the courage to fight alone. Isn't it?" Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "What do you think?" Meier said, "Excuse me, I'll eat outside." It’s a lot of dust, it’s like you, it’s clean inside, and you don’t need to be dazzled by the sun, thank you!"
The polite attitude, which was completely different from the previous one, made Zhao Zhen's heart a little more comfortable. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, what's your name?"
Seeing the other party taking care of herself, Mei'er said with joy: "My name is Mei'er, Wu Mei'er. By the way, when you come down south, are you looking for Long live today? By the way, is your princess here?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen coughed lightly and said. "Ask the princess of the king, as you said, how can he bring his family members when he comes to my emperor to talk about military affairs? After all, do you take national affairs as the most important thing! Why, do you want to be the princess of this king?"
Meier said: "It's strange, you king, you did your best to take this lady's idea. By the way, is your princess beautiful?" Xinwang Zhao Zhen said: "The little girl is very beautiful, or you can just be my princess. What about you..."
Mei'er was proud of her. Mei'er's mouth was swift and charming, and after a careful discussion, it also evoked Zhao Zhen's pleasure in teasing her. Mei'er quickly got into a fiery fight with King Xin.
At night, the team also went to the suburbs outside the city of Yuezhou. Because the emperor is here, large-scale men and horses are not allowed to enter the city. And even if they let in, they won't be able to get in. Because the city gate is closed at night.
Xin Wang Jun could not enter the city, so he set up a camp in the suburbs. Originally, Wu's family also accompanied Xin Wang Jun, but the camp that stayed overnight was going to be separated. Soon, Xin Wang Jun was promoted. There was a piece of cooking smoke.
Wang Lao Mazi soon returned to the Wu Family Patriarch, who was also the elder of Mingjiao. He said to the elder: "How about believing in the king?" Hearing this, the old lady raised her brows and said carefully: "Elder, what do you mean..."
"It's just a thought... What do you think of Wang Xinwang Zhao Zhen?" the elder asked. "This..." The old lady hesitated and said, "It's hard to tell, how can I see how this believer is in this short period of time, but I think the fighting power of the believer must be very strong, otherwise, it is really impossible to believe in the king. It’s possible to defeat the powerful Golden Soldier... It’s not when I saw the soldiers exuding murderous intent. I really can’t believe that the Golden Soldier that had been rampant for a while was defeated by the King Xin Army? The King Xin Army has such a powerful and terrifying army ."
The elder said: "If it hadn’t been for Wang Jun who had completely defeated the Golden Soldiers in the Midwest and had successfully controlled the situation, it would be impossible for Wang Zhaozhen to leave his territory. It must be no small..."
"But they are the royal family of the Zhao family, and they are also supported by the saint Zhang Yuanzheng of the left apologetics. Once the saint Zhong Xiang of the right apologetics and the saint Yang Yao discover, after all, we can't afford the crime. You are just one. The elders who don't have much real power are nothing more." Old Wang Po said.
Elder Wu said: "If Mei'er marries to believe in Wang Jun, then at least she can continue to live the noble life she is now. The right apologist Zhong Xiang and the saint Yang Yao would not listen to my advice to act cautiously. , I just sent someone to inform me that in the next two days there will be a rebellion. Now that the golden soldiers are marching northward, all officers and soldiers are concentrating their forces, and they will suffer a big loss."
While talking, he was speechless. Although he supported the saint Zhongxiang and Yang Yao, the right apologist, but that didn't mean that he would absolutely obey these two people. On the contrary, their differences in opinions caused estrangement.
At the beginning, Elder Wu was able to keep his position in Mingjiao in order to keep his family, and he didn't know how much effort and energy he had spent. How can ordinary people understand this kind of hard work? Therefore, he must do a good job of retreat, and the believer Zhao Zhen, who cooperated with the left apologetic saint Zhang Yuanzheng and a group of masters from Mingjiao headquarters, is his preferred retreat.
The original purpose of Mingjiao was not for personal power. However, it has now become a tool for individuals to master in order to reach the sky in one step. The current right apologist Zhong Xiang and the saint Yang Yao are just such people, and they are not conspiring to each other in different ways, so Elder Wu began to choose a new backer.
"But I believe that the rise of Wang Jun is too fast..." Although Old Wang was a member of Mingjiao, she was a close friend of Elder Wu, and naturally she would only be loyal to Elder Wu and would not betray him. What she said was not doubtful. The letter Wang Jun suddenly rose so quickly, no one can guarantee that one day it will be blown down again.
The King of Letters is up now, but who can guarantee that King of Letters will not fall in a short time? Therefore, the question that Elder Wu considered is still very difficult. The difficulty lies in the choice. The choice is really too difficult. It is tantamount to a gamble!
Now Elder Wu is on two boats. On the surface, there is a strong family from Jiangnan. In fact, it is the subordinate of Mingjiao Youjiao saint Zhong Xiang, and it is also his secret line. And the far-sighted Elder Wu knew that Zhong Xiang, the saint of the right apologist, was too anxious, and now although the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, his strength is still there.
Now the right apologist, Zhong Xiang, is taking advantage of the Jin and Song armies to rob the people. When the people do not have a chance to live, they will rise up immediately. Although they will rise in a short while, they will soon face the encirclement and suppression of the powerful Song army. Once the senior Mingjiao leaders are arrested and betrayed Elder Wu and his family, many people in the Wu family will die without a place to bury them, and may even be full of crimes. Therefore, Elder Wu must consider the target of the right apologetic saint Zhong Xiang's defect after his failure.
In the early morning of the second day, the old lady wanted to lead Mei'er away, and the Wu family was about to enter the capital city of Yuezhou. She stepped forward and said: "Today is to disturb the prince's thousands of years!" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Where, the girl Meier is very cute, she has solved a lot of worries for this king. Everyone, please, as the king said. That said, if you have anything, you can go to this king! However, this king will not be here for long.”
The old lady said: "So, we must come to disturb you!" After saying goodbye, but Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had already led the group to go. They did not go straight to Yuezhou City, but only sent a soldier into the city, and the rest were waiting here.
The letter king Zhao Zhen immediately ordered the camp to be anchored here, and the camp was on guard. Afterwards, Zhao Zhen once again sent a team of business personnel to deliver goods to the agreed big businessmen.
As soon as the horse convoy that transported goods left, the team immediately became streamlined. Zhao Zhen sent an army of eight hundred to protect the caravan, and he had only three hundred cavalry under his hand.
Later, Xiaobing returned to report that Emperor Zhao Gou was still taking refuge in Yuezhou. He had already notified that the Song Dynasty Prime Minister Fan personally greeted him. In this way, Zhao Zhen and the three hundred cavalry quickly ran toward the gate of Yuezhou City.
At this time in the Yuezhou Palace, Zhao Gou heard that Zhao Zhen was already close at hand, and his heart was overwhelmed, and his heart was upset. In fact, Zhao Gou knew about it as early as when Zhao Zhen and his party entered Jiangnan. However, he has never sent anyone to assassinate Zhao Zhen. First, he thought that Zhao Zhen led a large number of people. Second, there were other reasons. At this time, it was also because of ambivalence that he could not kill Zhao Zhen.
Although Zhao Zhen controlled the Shaanchuan area, he expelled Zhang Jun, posing a serious threat to him. However, the entire Hedong area and parts of Hebei that he has won has formed a deterrent against the Kingdom of Jin, which can be said to be his own shield.
The problem now is that I can’t be chased and killed by the Golden Bing like this. I have been chased and killed by the Golden Bing a few times. In case I get caught again, I don’t have the ability to run away like my eighteenth brother Zhao Zhen. It's all over.
Moreover, when the Golden Army retreated northward, he was repeatedly defeated by his own troops. It can also be seen that his generals were able to defeat the Golden Army. Therefore, Zhao Gou's mentality at this time is to negotiate, and he is ready to take certain military actions.
However, Zhao Zhen's King's Army has repeatedly won in the north, defeating the Golden Soldiers and defeating them. He will be the first person to deal with Jin Guo, and will not have time to go south. If Zhao Zhen is not dead, he can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Therefore, although Zhao Gou hates Zhao Zhen's brother for not dying, he can't do it now.
At this time, Lu Yihao had already left the court to appease the Jiankang Mansion, and Fan Zongyin was the right minister. At this time, Fan Zongyin saw Zhao Gou and was ready to meet the letter Wang Zhaozhen's various matters.
"Fan Aiqing, this time the king of letter will put down military affairs and come down to see me. You have to make arrangements for everything. Although the country is difficult now, the king of letter is a pillar of protection for the country. , To meet the honor guard must be the highest level. Do you understand?" Zhao Gou said, squinting his eyes. Fan Zongyin bowed his head and said, "Weichen abides by the edict."
"Speaking of, I haven't seen my eighteenth brother for four years, and I'm the only brother who hasn't been arrested by Jin Bing. Alas, the family is in trouble, I feel uneasy! I'm very curious. The style of chess and calligraphy is not as good as my eighteenth brother, how can I defeat Jinbing and restore a large area of rivers and mountains." Zhao Gou said to himself.
In fact, he was his own brother after all, and Zhao Gou also wanted to see this brother who hated and jealous. What's more, what is said outside is so mysterious, what is the first level of the admiral from the ten thousand horses? He naturally tasted the power of Jin Bing, but Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was able to defeat Jin Bing many times with almost no defeat. This was a miracle.
Therefore, Zhao Gou still wanted to meet Zhao Zhen this time. He wanted to use the other party's words to see if he could learn Zhao Zhen's methods. Her own piano, chess, calligraphy and painting surpass Zhao Zhen, so she is naturally smarter than Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen must have some knack for it. After learning it by herself, Jin Bing signed a contract directly with him if he failed.
Another point is that in a short period of time, the king of letter Zhao Zhen has established contacts with the big businessmen of the Jin, Song, Xixia, Dali, and Tubo countries. The army of the king of letter is not relying on the low taxes of the occupied land at all. To feed, they all depend on merchants to buy and sell. What shampoo, laundry detergent, soap, soap, glass, mirror, bone products, stone products, jade products, folding fans, pencils, etc.
In fact, the most popular aristocratic families like sex toys and underwear produced by Xinwangjun, and the most used ones are sanitary napkins and toilet paper.
At this time, Xin Wangjun's business has developed a vitality that Zhao Gou can't imagine. Under this strong business alliance, Xinwang has also established a solid relationship with the local great families. The vast areas of Sichuan can be easily controlled by Zhao Zhen at once. Although it has something to do with Zhao Zhen's control of the Sichuan army, it is mainly because of the help of wealthy families throughout Sichuan. At this time, Xin Wangjun's powerful business also made Zhao Gou faintly uneasy.
"Okay, let's go ahead and make arrangements. As for when I will see him, I'll talk about it when I think about it." Although Zhao Gou wanted to see Zhao Zhen, the materials were scarce, and the royal etiquette could not be prepared in one go. Another point is that Zhao Gou still doesn't want to see this capable younger brother now.
At this time, beside Zhao Zhen, there was a waitress looking at the city wall of Yuezhou City. This waitress was Dongyu. When Xin Wang Jun killed the Shanshan and Shaanxi Golden Soldiers one after another, she knew that if Xin Wang Zhao Zhen did not die, then Song Jiangshan might fall into his hands. Zhao Gou couldn't beat Jin Guo, and Jin Guo couldn't beat Zhao Zhen, so if you continue this reasoning, Zhao Go can't beat Zhao Zhen. Dongyu thought.
It turned out that Dongyu also imagined that Zhao Gou could become his concubine. But now that Dongyu has lost his body, how can he return to Zhao Gou? That is impossible. Therefore, now Dongyu feels that it is better to die than to be alive.
Fan Zongyin, the right minister, used the highest standard of greeting etiquette to welcome Zhao Zhen into another palace in Yuezhou. And the three hundred knights followed Zhao Zhen. If he brought three thousand people, Zhao Gou might still have some scruples, and he would not be afraid of three hundred people. Even if Zhao Zhen's people can beat ten with one, there are still tens of thousands of horses under him.
At this time, Zhao Zhen was in the palace room, looking at the surrounding furnishings. On the bronze incense burner, cigarettes were exploded, and finally filled the air. On the ground is a bright red wool carpet, stepping in barefoot, soft and soft, like a stroll in the clouds.
