- When he came to the palace hall again, Zhao Gou was reviewing official documents. Except for a few eunuchs on duty, there was no one else.
Seeing Xia Bolong coming, Zhao Gou stopped what he was doing, stood up with a smile, went to greet Xia Bolong, cupped his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, how did you sleep last night?"
"Okay, great. By the way, I'm here today because"
"It's about the covenant, right? Brother-in-law, don't worry, I've already made preparations. Bring the covenant over and show it to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor!" Zhao Gou caught Xia Bolong's words and shouted to a eunuch on duty.
The eunuch on duty held a scroll in both hands, walked to Xia Bolong's side, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, please take a look!"
Xia Bolong opened the scroll and saw that the time and date of signing the covenant were written on it, as well as the scope of the covenant's performance. After browsing, he suddenly frowned and asked: "Are you no?" Do you know why the two countries are not allowed to trade?¡±
Zhao Gou said coldly: "For no reason, after the two countries entered into an alliance, they only agreed to non-aggression and jointly fight against the Jin. Once our army eliminates all Jin forces in Hebei, our army will be stationed along the Great Wall. We will never Take half a step to the outside of the Great Wall. As for whether the Golden Army Dragon Empire can be repelled outside the Great Wall, it depends on the ability of the Dragon Emperor. Since the fierce battle in the northwest began, hundreds of thousands of our army in the Song Dynasty have not had a rest until now. War, war is about national strength. Our Song Dynasty can no longer withstand such a war, so please forgive me, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, our army in the Song Dynasty also has its own difficulties! As for trade, our Song Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. There is no shortage of things from the Western Regions, so there is no need for that.¡±
After hearing this, Xia Bolong felt that this was Zhao Gou's intention. He wanted to blockade the Dragon Empire through economic means. Without thinking much, he immediately took out his jade seal, stamped it, and closed the scroll at the same time, saying: "Okay, that's it. During the covenant period, our two countries will not invade each other."
"Haha, the Dragon Emperor is happy. However, I received a report from the front line, saying that the Dragon Empire's army is about to attack Yanjing. I hope that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor can stop it and ask your troops to send troops outside the Great Wall, from Hebei to The Great Wall is the boundary, and within it is the territory of our Song Dynasty. The Jin army should be fought by our Song Dynasty, not the Dragon Empire." Zhao Goudao.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will issue the document. I hope this covenant is made in two copies. Each of us will have one copy. This is only fair! If one party breaches the contract, it should compensate the property as written by Your Majesty. "Xia Bolong said, holding up the scroll in his hand.
Zhao Gou said: "Okay, then I will write another copy for you, and ask the Dragon Emperor to stamp his seal on the scroll again."
Xia Bolong nodded. Seeing Zhao Gou turn around and walk to the dragon chair, he wrote another scroll eloquently, and then handed the scroll to Xia Bolong for review. After getting Xia Bolong's permission, Zhao Gou stamped the jade seal, and then asked the eunuch to forward it to Xia Bolong. After Xia Bolong stamped the dragon empire's jade seal, the conclusion of the covenant was completed.
Xia Bolong and Zhao Gou each had a copy. As soon as the covenant was signed, Xia Bolong said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Fujin has been disturbing your Majesty for a long time. Today is the day when our covenant is initially set. It is a happy day, and it is also a good time for me to bring her back to our Dragon Empire ¡¡±
"What? Is brother-in-law leaving so soon?" Zhao Gou said.
Xia Bolong said: "It's not too early. I'm still in a hurry to get to Hebei and notify my troops. Otherwise, if I capture Yanjing and return it to others, I'm afraid the soldiers will feel uncomfortable. I've been bothering you for many days, so I'll say goodbye!"
"Wait! Before leaving, I want to give something to my sister. I hope my brother-in-law will accept it for her." Zhao Gou raised his hand and clapped his hands loudly.
A dozen guards walked in from outside the palace, and each two carried a large nanmu box and placed it on the ground. After opening it, a golden light shone, which stung people's eyes. It turned out to be gold. There are eight boxes of gold in total, making the entire hall shine with splendor.
"This is¡¡"
"This is a dowry for my sister. My brother-in-law is marrying the empress of the Song Dynasty. How can I, the Song Dynasty, be shabby? This gold is not much, only two hundred thousand taels. I hope my brother-in-law can take it away!"
"Hahaha! It's hard to bring so much gold. There will be a lot of wars along the way. If so much gold is robbed, it will be wasted. Since the army of the Song Dynasty is insufficient in food and pay, then give it to the Song Dynasty Let¡¯s buy food and pay for the army. Although our Dragon Empire is not as wealthy as the Song Dynasty, there are mountains of gold and silver in the territory, so there is no shortage of this little gold. Your Majesty, take care, I take my leave."
When Zhao Gou saw Xia Bolong turning away, there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. In just a moment, he regained his composure. With a wave of his hand, the guards carried the gold out of the hall.
"It would be fine if you had always been my master, and only my masterWell, when the world is peaceful, I will naturally make you a prince, but you have become the emperor of the Dragon Empire. There is no second king in the country. We, Zhao Gou, are committed to building the Song Dynasty into an empire even more powerful than the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties. The Dragon Empire is an obstacle blocking the progress of our Song Dynasty. Five years later, our national power of the Song Dynasty has been restored. I No, it¡¯s me, I will definitely lead the army in the Northern Expedition personally and make the Dragon Empire completely surrender to my feet! "Ou thought slowly in his heart when he saw Xia Bolong's leaving figure.
Xia Bolong, Zhao Fujin, and Liu Chengzong hired a carriage and soon drove out of Bianliang toward Hebei.
About forty or fifty miles out of Bianliang, Xia Bolong opened the scroll again, looked at it carefully, couldn't help laughing, and said lightly: "Zhao Gou, your ambition is greater than mine. It seems that I I didn¡¯t take you as my apprentice in vain.¡±
When Zhao Fujin heard Xia Bolong¡¯s words, he leaned on Xia Bolong¡¯s shoulder and asked, ¡°Your Majesty, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
Xia Bolong asked: "Let me ask you, if one day your brother and I fight, which one will you help?"
Zhao Fujin shook his head and said calmly: "A married person is like water thrown out. I am yours, but the Song Dynasty is my home after all, and I only have two people who can't help each other Why does your majesty ask this? Zhao Gou Haven't you already signed an alliance with His Majesty?"
"It is this covenant that shows Zhao Gou's ambition." Xia Bolong pointed at a few key words on the scroll with his finger, "Look at it sideways!"
"Destroy the dragon in five years" Zhao Fujin followed the words written by Xia Bolong's finger and read them word by word. When she read the fifth word, she stopped suddenly, staring at the next two words with her eyes, and her mouth But he stopped talking and was stunned for a moment.
"Destroy the Dragon Empire in five years!" Xia Bolong said seriously, "This is Zhao Gou's ambition. He used an acrostic technique to hide these seven simple words in the covenant scroll. Isn't that proof enough?"
"How could this happen? Your Majesty, let me go back and I will persuade Zhao Gou. I want to tell him how good you are and how popular you are as an emperor"
"It's useless. His mind has been set and no one can change it. He is no longer the ignorant young man he was back then. He is now the emperor, the emperor of the Song Dynasty." Xia Bolong grabbed Zhao Fujin's wrist. , lightly and authentically.
Zhao Fujin sighed heavily and said, "Is this inevitable?"
Xia Bolong nodded and said: "I don't like a war with the Song Dynasty. Although there are people from other ethnic groups in the Dragon Empire, there are also many Han people who should no longer fight and kill. Now that the Jin Kingdom is over, those who are capable The generals are dead, the captured are captured, and the leaves are already blown by the wind. However, fortunately, we have five years between us. Whether we will become enemies in five years or not depends on the countries in these five years. Excellent performance!"
Liu Chengzong was driving the carriage and naturally overheard the conversation in the carriage, and said: "Your Majesty, in the main hall just now, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to kill Your Majesty. I wonder if His Majesty was aware of it?"
Xia Bolong said: "I realized that the dozen guards who sent the gold were his killers. They wanted to kill me when I went to get the gold. That's why I refused to take the gold away and was in such a hurry. I want to leave. Today¡¯s Bianliang is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer the Bianliang in my mind. Six years can change a lot, including a person¡¯s personality.¡±
Liu Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, are we heading towards Yanjing now?"
"Yes, we must go to Yanjing as soon as possible. Otherwise, once our army launches an attack on the Yan army, it will be considered a breach of contract. I hope Han Shizhong's army can fight slower and not progress too fast." Xia Bolong said.
"The general has not fought for a long time. When he came out this time, he showed his incomparable bravery. He fought and won consecutive battles, forcing the Jin army to retreat. It was faster than the progress of the other two armies. I am worried that the Yue family army will also be at this time. They will attack Yanjing. If the two armies attack Yanjing together, and the covenant has not yet been passed to them, there will definitely be trouble over the battle for Yanjing. I will speed up now, hoping to be able to attack Yanjing before they can Before Beijing, feel the need to stop this upcoming conflict!" Liu Chengzong said.
Xia Bolong said: "Well, that's what I mean too. Just speed up and don't worry about us."
"I obey the decree!"
There was a crack of the whip, Liu Chengzong gave a loud shout, and the speed of the carriage accelerated a lot.
Xia Bolong hugged Zhao Fujin and asked, "Does it feel uncomfortable?"
Zhao Fujin shook his head and said, "It's not uncomfortable. As long as I'm with His Majesty, I won't feel uncomfortable at all!"
Xia Bolong smiled, kissed Zhao Fujin on the cheek, and said: "My dear, I have wronged you. This journey will take a long time. When we get to Yanjing, I will make it up to you."
Zhao Fujin whispered in Xia Bolong's ear: "As long as your majesty takes my concubine every day, it is the greatest compensation for my concubine!"
"You little bitch!" Xia Bolong pinched Zhao Fujin's nose and said with a smile.
