Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 157 Zhao Gou says goodbye
Zhao Gou first left Youwen Hall, and then walked straight from the palace back to Prince Kang's Mansion.

After he returned home, he saw his wife, Princess Kang Xing Bingyi, sitting alone in front of the window, with a sad face.

Zhao Gou then ordered the servants at home to pack his bags for him, while he gently opened the door and walked to Princess Kang Xing Bingyi.

Xing Bingyi looked at Zhao Gou with a pretty face full of sadness.

"Your Highness, has your request to go to the Kingdom of Jin been settled?"

After a while, Princess Kang Xing Bingyi asked softly.

She seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she didn't dare to say it.

But in the end, he couldn't suppress the nervousness in his heart and raised the matter with Zhao Gou.

"I entered the Youwen Hall of the Imperial Palace just now, and I have already agreed with the prince."

As soon as Zhao Gou finished speaking, Xing Bingyi's heartstrings seemed to be broken in an instant.

In an instant, hot tears fell from Xing Bingyi's eyes like broken pearls and fell on the hem of her skirt.

Seeing this, Zhao Gou gently held Xing Bingyi's hands, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Princess, I have already told you about this section before."

"I, Zhao Gou, have been sent to Jinying as a hostage of the Zhao royal family. This matter is inevitable. You really don't want to..."

The more Zhao Gou talked, the more excited he became, but when he saw Xing Bingyi's tears falling continuously, he kept his mouth shut.

After a while, Xing Bingyi sobbed and said: "Prince Zhao Huan has so many younger brothers. Compared with you, others are much closer to the prince, and they walk closer together on weekdays."

"Why do you have to let Prince Kang and Zhao Gou go to Jinying? I recall that when I married you, you and I entered the bridal chamber that night."

"You told me at that time that you and your mother had not been welcome in the palace since you were young, and you had been treated coldly."

"At that time, I thought about it. In life, you often have no control over your own actions. Moreover, everyone has his own destiny. Don't get too entangled in worldly affairs, that's all."

"Although my family background is not poor, it is just a little more prosperous."

"I had already planned this in my heart when I first married you. For the rest of my life, as long as your husband can live in peace, I will be content and don't ask for any great wealth."

The more Xing Bingyi cried, the more sad she became. Finally, she lay completely on Zhao Gou's legs.

Zhao Gou put his hand gently on the back of her head, touched it left and right repeatedly, and then said seriously: "As the saying goes, death is as heavy as a mountain and as light as a feather. I have lived like this since I was a child in the palace. The days were very painful in my heart.”

"If I can return safely from Jin Camp this time, I, Zhao Gou, will definitely rise to great heights in the Zhao royal family and be proud and proud."

"For many years, I have been practicing martial arts day and night. Isn't this the rare opportunity I've been waiting for?"

"You just need to keep it in your heart. I, Zhao Gou, will definitely promise you, Xing Bingyi, that I will return safely from Jinying. This is my promise to you."

Why couldn't Xing Bingyi understand Zhao Gou's thoughts?

Although Xing Bingyi and Zhao Gou have known each other for a short time, they have never met each other in these years.

But for the past events in the palace that Zhao Gou told her, she could also imagine the situation at that time and be immersed in it.

To use the words of the era where Earl Ying lived in his previous life, it would be: Brain Supplement.

At the end, Xing Bingyi cried so hard that his delicate body was shaking and he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Gou bid farewell to Concubine Kang Xing Bingyi, and entered the palace all the way, preparing to say goodbye to his mother Concubine Wei Xian.

He took the familiar route to the palace where Concubine Wei Xian lived, walked to the palace door, and knocked hard.

Not long after, a palace official quickly came to open the door.

"Where's my mother?"

Zhao Gou looked at the palace man and asked seriously.The palace official quickly reported: "Concubine Wei Xian went to the Holy Palace half an hour ago."

Zhao Gou frowned, feeling confused for a moment.

Predictably, one could guess what mother Concubine Wei Xian was doing when she went to Emperor Huizong's bedroom.

So, he quickly turned around and headed towards Emperor Huizong's palace.

Soon, Zhao Gou entered the palace of Emperor Huizong.

As soon as Zhao Gou opened the palace door, he saw his mother, Concubine Wei Xian, kneeling on the ground crying bitterly.

A pair of jade hands with fingers that were not wet with spring water tightly grasped the calf of Emperor Huizong who was standing aside with an impatient face.

At the same time, Emperor Huizong had an embarrassed look on his face.

The jewelry on Concubine Wei Xian's head was scattered on the floor, and her old body was shaking from crying.

Emperor Huizong frowned and said to Concubine Wei Xian: "My beloved, please don't do this. Lao Jiu is courageous and knowledgeable."

"He is so willing to be loyal to the country. You should really be proud of yourself for giving birth to such a promising son! Why are you crying all the time?"

Concubine Wei Xian sobbed and said, "Your Majesty, you have 31 sons, but I only have one son, Zhao Gou."

"To you, Your Majesty, he is only a drop in the ocean or a drop in the bucket, but to me, he is everything to me."

"If Zhao Gou really dies in the Jin camp, Your Majesty, how should I live in this world?"

What Concubine Wei Xian said couldn't be more clear. Emperor Huizong had so many sons, and Zhao Gou was indeed unimportant to Emperor Huizong.

Even if Zhao Gou died tragically in the Jinying, Emperor Huizong would not care much.

At this time, Emperor Huizong saw Zhao Gou standing in front of the palace gate with a shocked face. He thought about it and quickly helped Concubine Wei Xian, who was crying and lying on the ground, to stand up.

He said earnestly and earnestly: "So, I will immediately decree to make you a noble concubine, and from now on your bedroom will be placed next to my bedroom."

"If Lao Jiu can come back safely, I will make him Taifu and make him a military governor. Is this good?"

Emperor Huizong had already said this, but Concubine Wei Xian still hugged his calf tightly and cried bitterly again and again.

Zhao Gou walked quickly to Emperor Huizong and Concubine Wei Xian, first saluted Emperor Huizong, and then said to Concubine Wei Xian: "Mother, don't do this, the child is voluntary."

As Zhao Gou spoke, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Huizong.

He said categorically: "Having the opportunity to serve the country is what I, Zhao Gou, have been pursuing all my life. I am very happy and happy to be sent to Jinying as envoy."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Huizong's embarrassing situation was relieved.

Emperor Huizong was very happy, nodding his head constantly and looking at Zhao Gou with joy.

Zhao Gou saluted Emperor Huizong again and said: "My son is going to Jinying this time, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to come back. Father, please take care of yourself in Bianliang City!"

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the bedroom quickly.

Emperor Huizong stood where he was, watching Zhao Gou supporting Concubine Wei Xian, who was weeping pear blossoms and raining, drifting away.

There was no slight ripple in my heart.

He crossed his arms and looked at Zhao Gou and Wei Xianfei, mother and son, expressionlessly, the blurry figures that were about to disappear around the corner.

Heart said: I have a son like Zhao Gou, it is really the blessing of my royal family of Zhao family, it is really the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty, it is so wonderful, so wonderful, so happy.
