end song

Ezhou.

After the New Year's Eve, Li Xia roughly counted the properties of the Lu family's main house and brought some of them back to Ezhou, solving part of the military supplies and stabilizing morale and people's hearts.

Of course, the Lu family's industries spread all over Jianghuai, and what Li Xia took was only a small part of it.

The poor people in Ezhou were surprised to find that the New Year's Eve after falling to the rebels turned out to be very good.

It was a little less lively, the fireworks and firecrackers were taken away, and the lantern show was not held, but they could eat a full meal and put on warm clothes. Many stages were set up in the city, and Yue Fei sang.

From the change of Jingkang to the great victory in Zhuxian Town, and then to the Fengbo Pavilion, the people in Ezhou have changed their perception of Song Ting.

On this day, Zhao Jin went for a stroll around the Ewang Temple, and then returned to the general mansion that Li Xia had temporarily occupied. When Yan Rong talked about what he saw, he couldn't help but get angry.

"Li Ni wanted to buy people's hearts and confuse right and wrong. Others said that Fengbo Pavilion and Qin Hui were traitors, so why should he make people scold Emperor Gaozong?"

On the table in front of Yan Rong was a lot of precious jewelry, he was picking and choosing, and he said casually: "He looks down on Zhao Gou... No, none of your Zhao Song emperors makes him look up to."

"you!"

Zhao Jin was so angry that he pointed at Yan Rong and scolded: "You demon girl, you really think I'm your captive, don't you? If you have the ability, you let me go, and we will never see each other again."

"You are angry, and your body is ruined by anger. My majesty still looks down on you, Emperor Zhao. What has changed? Come on, pick and choose, which one looks better?"

Zhao Jin turned his back and ignored Yan Rong.

"Are you still angry? What's the use of being angry? Let's say that when the Zhao family destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xiao Zhou was not angry or bitter? What can you do?"

"Don't scare me with Empress Xiao Zhou, at worst I'll die."

""

Zhao Jin raised his eyes slightly, and raised his hand to tap his forehead.

She couldn't stand Yan Rong like this, sometimes his words were harder than a knife, and sometimes softer than water.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Jin thought to himself that it was Li Ni who looked down on his ancestors, not Yan Rong, and his anger subsided a lot.

"Are these jewelry copied from the Lu Mansion?"

"Well, you pick and choose, which one looks better?"

"Li Ni picked one for you?"

"No." Yan Rong said with a smile: "These are all mine, pick one and give it to you."

"Bah, stingy."

Zhao Jin looked at it, and couldn't understand Yan Rong's expression of admiring the traitor the most. He raised his head and said, "I've found out that Li Ni is nothing special, he didn't even capture Huangzhou."

"and then?"

"I don't think he has many troops. When soldiers and horses from all over the place surround him, he will be finished soon."

"He's finished, and then what? Zhao Chen has secured the throne. In the future, he and Quan Jiu's son will ascend to the throne again, and you will be happy? Dao."

Zhao Jin was very angry, sat down opposite Yan Rong, pushed her hand, and shoved her jewelry on the table to show dissatisfaction.

But when the two looked at each other for a while, Zhao Jin turned his head away again.

In the past, when she was in Tiantai Mountain by herself, she felt very uncomfortable when she thought about these things, but now that she saw Yan Rong again, being so angry with her every day...it didn't feel so uncomfortable.

"It's useless for you to be mad at me." Zhao Jin finally countered: "Anyway, Li Ni is going to die, and even I know that he can't take Huangzhou with his little force, and if he doesn't retreat, he will only die. I will stay here and not leave, just to protect you when the time comes."

Yan Rong didn't answer, and asked Miao Lan in a low voice: "Go and ask..."

Miao Lan ran away as soon as she got the order, and came back not long after and said to Yan Rong: "Your Majesty Yun Ningfei to go and have a look."

Yan Rong smiled and beckoned to Zhao Jin.

"Let's go."

The Consul General's Mansion was the place where Lu Wende handled official business when he was in Ezhou, and it was built magnificently, not to mention the palace city of Lin'an, at least it was more like the palace than Li Xia's palace in Chang'an.

There is a small side hall next to the reception hall of the front government office, which has a complete set of desks and tea sets. It was originally a place for Lu Wende to sit here to secretly listen and make suggestions when Lu Wende received guests.

Zhao Jin was led by Yan Rong into this small side hall, and when he got close to the bamboo curtain, he saw a rather serious meeting going on in the hall.

The old man standing in the hall talking was wearing a purple official uniform, and he looked like an important minister of the Song Dynasty.

"Foreign Minister, Bachelor of Zizheng Palace and Minister of Rites, Signing Letters to the Privy Council, Compilation of National History, and Weng, pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I will be blessed."

"Free of courtesy, flat body..."

Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment.

In the incomplete line of sight printed by the bamboo curtain, she saw Li Xia sitting at the head wearing a ochre-yellow lanthanum robe, which was elegant but majestic.

It was the same style her father used to wear.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Whether it's national hatred or family hatred, she is a weak woman and can't change anything.

Even her uncle, Jia Sidao, has been accusing Li Xia of killing the king, but in the end, she didn't even fight a real big war, so she sued for peace?
f$55.

"Da Song can recognize the title of Emperor Que, and the two sides are brothers."

"It's ridiculous, since the state of Song is the country of uncle and nephew with Meng Yuan, my emperor just didn't want to suffer such a great humiliation to restore Li Tang's foundation. How could he be willing to suffer such humiliation?"

"Shi Xianggong, the peace agreement between the Great Song Dynasty and the Meng Yuan Dynasty is only a temporary expediency, so it cannot be taken seriously. Besides, since the Great Tang Dynasty has not handed over the letter of credence to the Meng Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan can still call the Emperor Quexia of the Tang Dynasty his nephew? This matter is plain Well, it’s all about different things.”

"No, no, no, if our army can't drive directly to Lin'an, it won't work..."

Huangzhou.

Five days after witnessing the Song Dynasty sending a fleet to Ezhou, Chen Yizhong suddenly discovered that the rebels outside Huangzhou had withdrawn.

With the sound of trumpets and drums, countless ships on the Yangtze River began to struggle up the river.

Faced with this situation, Chen Yi had vaguely guessed something in the center, but he couldn't believe it.

As an envoy, he didn't start negotiating with Li Xia without saying a word.

"Chen Xianggong." Someone climbed up the watchtower and reported: "The court's decree, please Chen Xianggong to go to Ezhou..."

"Negotiate?"

"Yes, negotiate a peace."

At noon the next day, Chen Yizhong finally led the mission to the Ezhou Wharf.

Not only rebel officials came to greet him, but also Wen Jiweng, the new Minister of Rites.

"Duke Wen is here, how do you want to deal with Li Ni..."

"Here is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Wen Jiweng said, "You can no longer call him a traitor, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"But he was originally a minister of the Song Dynasty, and he betrayed the Lord." Chen Yizhong said in a low voice: "We can talk about peace, but we must not lose the righteousness easily. Today the court recognizes his throne and even professes a minister to him, and tomorrow he will be justified and attack again. Song."

"There will be no tomorrow." Wen Jiweng said. "As for now, I guess Xu He will."

"But."

"Do you really think you can win if you continue to fight?"

Wen Jiweng finally sent someone, and reminded Chen Yizhong in a low voice with suppressed anger.

"Do you know who is leading the battle? It's the person who instigated the official conquest. He fainted from fright when he heard that the Tang army had broken through Shuzhou. Is it true that Lin'an is not afraid? The Tang army has not lost a battle since entering the country. Who would dare Put the survival of the country on the official conquest?! 9."

Chen Yizhong was speechless.

They went to the posthouse, set the letter of credence, and hurriedly sent it back to Lin'an, waiting for the imperial court's reply.

Afterwards, Chen Yizhong visited Li Xia at the Consulate General's Mansion.

He never dreamed that when he came to negotiate this time, this was the first sentence he said when he saw Li Xia.

"Foreign minister, Bachelor of Song Dynasty Chongzheng Palace, Minister of Rites, and Zhongshu Sheren, Xianwen Pavilion waiter Chen Yizhong, pay homage to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty."

"Nephew Song Emperor Chen, I would like to pay homage to the letter to Bo Datang Emperor Que..."

In Lin'an Funing Hall, Wang Qinghui thought that she was in a dream after reading this.

The current situation has reached the point where she is today, and she still can't believe that all this really happened.

"Official?"

"Huh?" Zhao Chen was lying on the ground fighting crickets, raised his head and said, "Read it? Let's stamp it."

"Your Majesty is really going to surrender to Li Ni...to Emperor Tang?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chen grinned, and said, "Are you stupid? Anyway, one uncle is also an uncle, and two uncles are also uncles. The teacher said that these two uncles will fight sooner or later... fight, fight stand up."

After all, the smiling Zhao Chen lowered his head and began to fight the crickets again.

Wang Qinghui shook hands, her nails were about to pierce into her palms, and she felt a tingling pain, which made her sure that this was not a dream.

She once heard that Emperor Ningzong of Song Dynasty was less intelligent than ordinary people, and that Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty used the courtesy of his courtiers to honor the Kingdom of Jin... But whenever she was in this majestic palace, she always felt that such absurd things could not happen. fake.

But it happened again.

again and again.

For example, after going to the south, such humiliation has become a nature.

With a sound of "pa", Zhao Chen's seal was stamped on the paper.

"Ugh."

In the Hall of Compassion, Xie Daoqing let out a long sigh.

"Stupid child, do you really think that if you continue to fight, Da Song can win? Even if you don't lose, as long as there is a stalemate of neither winning nor losing, you can erode Da Song's national foundation."

Quan Jiu fell ill again.

She opened a pair of empty eyes and listened to Xie Daoqing's words that the overall situation was the most important thing, but she didn't listen to half a sentence.

She doesn't understand state affairs, she only knows that her husband has knelt down to rebellion.

And she, Quan Jiu, did not die in Tanzhou, which was besieged by the Mongolian army.But after becoming the queen of the mother's world, she still suffered such shame and humiliation.

Married to a trash.

"Let's try our best and keep a low profile." Xie Daoqing sighed again: "How many of the courtiers in the Manchu Dynasty can be trusted. When the disaster is imminent, apart from Jia Pingzhang, we, a woman, are the masters. Fortunately, I understand that Yuan Meng and Li There must be a battle against the enemy, take this step back so that the two tigers can fight against each other."

"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Quan Jiu murmured in a low voice, she didn't know if she was sarcasm, or she was a little dazed.

"The Empress Dowager shouldn't call him 'Li Ni' anymore, he is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty..."
