One Piece of Song Dynasty

Zhao Mingcheng turned around to retreat, but Myolie stopped him. Xing'er said: "I'd better ask my wife for a favor first. Once the master speaks, my wife's anger will disappear."

"Madam, Mingcheng abandoned the city and ran away. He has no place to be ashamed of and no excuse." Zhao Mingcheng choked and said to the door, "Madam wrote that Nandu's well-dressed young director, Wang, has scolded all the well-dressed men of the dynasty. People just wait. I just watch the jokes between you and me, but I don’t live up to expectations, and my wife is stubborn. In fact, she knows that I am a useless person.”

Li Qingzhao just handed out a piece of paper from the crack of the door: "Read it loudly. After reading it, come in if you feel you should come in. If you don't, don't come in."

Myolie took the wet paper and hurriedly handed it to Zhao Mingcheng. Zhao Mingcheng saw that it was a poem and just took it, but he couldn't read it anymore after reading only one sentence: "Summer Quatrains."

"Master, why don't you read Master?" Xing'er was puzzled. Zhao Mingcheng was infected by the strong emotions in the poem and burst into tears: "I was born as a hero, and died as a ghost hero. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River."

The two of them were speechless for a long time, both were stunned by this majestic quatrain. The sorrow caused by the destruction of the country and the loss of the family, and of living in a foreign land, all came to their hearts because of this sad and angry poem, and both of them cried silently.

After a burst of lightning, the rain became heavier. Zhao Mingcheng shouted to the room: "Mingcheng has defiled my wife, and I have known my crime from now on. In the past, Mingcheng ignored secular affairs. After turning his back on the wall, he cared about government affairs and reports every day. If you don't believe me, please listen. On Yimao, April th, the emperor granted amnesty." On the day of Dingsi, your majesty reiterated that servants were not allowed to communicate with generals or interfere with the affairs of the state; on the day of Wuyin in the fifth month, the thief Liu Wenshun invaded Haozhou, and Xue Qing attacked Gaoyou's army; on the day of Yiyou, your majesty arrived in Jiangning and stationed himself at the gods. Xiao Palace.”

Zhao Mingcheng and Xing'er rushed through the door together. Li Qingzhao had already cried heartbrokenly and hugged Zhao Mingcheng.

Bianliang, Tokyo, had been besieged for a long time, and the people exchanged their sons and devoured each other for more than a day. By the summer of the third year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, the number of young people in the metropolis, which originally had a population of million, was less than , which shows the cruelty of the war. Du Chong repeatedly asked Zhao Gou to abandon Bianjing. After receiving Zhao Gou's edict in June that he finally agreed to abandon the capital, Yue Fei's Tokyo Remaining Department was forced to withdraw from the isolated city.

Before Yue Fei set out, he returned to his hometown to pick up his family. Unexpectedly, his mother, wife, and two sons had long since disappeared because they had fled the war. Starving corpses could be seen everywhere. You can imagine how irritating this situation was for Yue Fei. When Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Liu Jing, and Chen Cui followed Du Chong and evacuated the Nanxun Gate of Kaifeng, which was like a dead city, they stood on horseback and looked back. They missed their family and it was even harder to abandon their homeland. They had no choice but to lament with infinite sadness: "The land of the Central Plains" , the size cannot be compared with others. If we retreat today, I will not own Bianjing. If I want to take this city again in the future, I will need hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses."

"The Central Plains is running out of food. Our army can't just sit here and wait for death." Liu Jing, a general at the same level, had a good relationship with Yue Fei. "The emperor ordered Du to stay behind as a minister of the Privy Council and return to Jiankang to control the three generals Liu, Zhang and Han. We. There are only benefits to going back.”

Yue Fei stopped and turned around worriedly, took one last look at the Tokyo Tower, gritted his teeth, hit his horse, and galloped away with Zhang Xian. The last army left in the Central Plains of the Southern Song Dynasty left its hometown forever.

Jiankang Street in leap August is as hot as a fire. The voice of the storyteller in the roadside teahouse still came out sonorously, forcefully and mellowly: "The emperor saw a painted white horse standing in the temple. The horse's back was eight feet high, its head and tail were two feet, and there was not even half a foot under its body. The most surprising thing is that this horse was wet from head to toe, as if it had just been fished out of the water. This person said that the mud horse will also sweat in love. The mud horse appeared and saved the emperor's life. , who believes this is up to you, anyway, this kind of miracle is not something you and I can encounter, so I say that the current saint is the destined emperor, and he has the blessing of the emperor."

The soldiers and people inside and outside the teahouse were all delighted and fascinated. Gillian shuttled among the cheering soldiers and looked at the middle-aged soldiers. She never gave up the hope of finding her biological father. When she walked out of the teahouse, she saw a crowd of people in front of the book engraving workshop. The literate scholars and illiterate servants were all grabbing poems. A middle-aged scholar who was dressed in filial piety from beginning to end squeezed out of the crowd and recited poems loudly and passionately as he walked: "You will be a hero in life, and you will be a hero in death. I still think about Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River. Li Yi'an is really a hero A strange woman"

Gillian had heard Zhao Gou and Empress Dowager Meng talking about Li Qingzhao before. When she saw this, she felt moved and hurriedly chased after him.

In the evening, Wu Shaofen sent Queen Mother Meng to dinner, but she still didn't see Gillian returning to the palace, and she felt angry. At this time, the Jiankang Shenxiao Palace was still extremely hot. Zhao Gou held the babbling prince in his arms, and Wu Shaofen drank with Empress Dowager Meng. The maid kept shaking her fan beside her. Empress Dowager Meng wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "It's a leap month after all. It's so hot this summer."

"The Queen Mother has another drink. This wine has been chilled and is the best way to relieve the heat." Zhao Gou took the fan from the maid's hand and fanned the Queen Mother Meng, and poured her another glass of wine. Empress Dowager Meng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and couldn't help but shudder: "It's so cool."

While they were talking, Gillian came back excitedly to salute with poems in her hands. Wu Shaofen scolded her with a straight face: "This girl is getting more and more outrageous. She doesn't know when she comes back when she goes out. What is this?"

"Li Qingzhao has written a new poem, which is being recited in the streets and alleys. Madam, please read it." Gillian unfolded the poem and handed it to Wu Shaofen.

Wu Shaofen saw it and snapped at the table: "You will be a hero in life, but you will be a hero in death. I still think about Xiang Yu, and I am unwilling to cross the Yangtze River to have courage. These two words will spread like wildfire and spread throughout the north and south."

"It's true. It's so refreshing to listen to it that I don't even feel hot anymore. This is written by that strange woman again. We need to meet this person." Empress Dowager Meng couldn't stop praising her. Gillian was even more proud: "No, it's spread everywhere on the street. I really see why Luoyang paper is so expensive."

Zhao Gou was stunned after taking the poem, then put down the poem heavily and turned around. Wu Shaofen was still in high spirits: "Shaofen is a person who has read books, and has never seen such a powerful poem, right? What's wrong with Your Majesty?"

"I was not a hero in life, and I will not become a hero in death." Zhao Gou turned around and smiled bitterly.

Wu Shaofen woke up and said hurriedly: "Where did your majesty go? I am not insinuating your majesty."

"I still miss Xiang Yu, and he refuses to cross the Yangtze River. It is well written. It is so well written that it will definitely become an eternal masterpiece." Zhao Gou picked up the poem and read it carefully.

"My servant dares to ask the emperor. The imperial court has put out a list to recruit envoys from Dajin, but are there any who will answer the call?" Gillian saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly changed the subject.

Seeing that Zhao Gou was talking about Zhao Gou's pain point again, Wu Shaofen hurriedly stopped her and said, "What's wrong with this girl today? She doesn't want to open a certain pot."

"Fifty or sixty people have gone to the general envoy, but they have never returned. There are fewer and fewer people who dare to take the exam, why?" Zhao Gou said. Gillian said: "My slave met Hong Hao, the Secretary of Xiuzhou, on the street today. Hong Hao is willing to go to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy to relieve the emperor's worries."
