    ?????????????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, before the lanterns of the Lantern Festival were scattered, an explosive news spread rapidly across the country: the Northern captives had been destroyed, and Jingkang was humiliated; the Northern Expedition was a great victory, and the mountains and rivers were restored.

    The entire Central Plains and Jiangnan were shaken by this news.

    On the Chang'an side, messengers traveled eight hundred miles to report the victory; on the other hand, in the Southern Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, the first people to bring the news back were the merchants who had just returned after being seduced by the Southern Song Dynasty court into private merchant ships to send the third batch of aid supplies to Liaodong.

    These ship traders not only brought back a large amount of furs, horns, pearls and jade from the North with their ships, but they also spread the good news of this day along the way and became the voluntary propagandists for the victory of the Tianzhu Northern Expedition.  Wherever the news reached, there was a wave of frenzy.  Merchants sold fur goods along the way and at the same time promoted the achievements of the Tenchu ??Army's Northern Expedition.  The speaker is vivid and the listener is intoxicated. At the end, he returns home to burn incense and pray to heaven. It goes without saying that he is happy and inspired.

    Although the Chinese New Year has passed, every time the merchant fleet passes by, local firecrackers will be sold out. The ship travels three thousand miles, and the sound of firecrackers spreads to Jiushizhou.

    The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty received this shocking news on the 21st of the first lunar month. At that time, Emperor Xingyuan Zhao Xu was discussing with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. If the Tianzhu Army failed in the Northern Expedition and negotiated peace with the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty, Tianshu and the Jin Kingdom would  How to get along.  As a result, this thunderous news came, and the whole court exploded on the spot, and everyone was talking.  There are those who are celebrating, and there are those who are dubious.  To the surprise of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the officials unswervingly believed this rumor and believed that it was true.

    Emperor Xingyuan could not contain his excitement and wanted to lead his ministers to the Ancestral Temple to worship and comfort the ancestors.  However, he was dissuaded by courtiers such as King Kang and Prime Minister Lu Yihao. They begged the officials to wait a moment and wait until the authenticity of the news was further confirmed before worshiping at the Ancestral Temple.

    I have to say, when it comes to the forces of Tianshu.  Especially with his understanding of the Tianzhu Army's combat effectiveness, Zhao Xu is really much stronger than his ministers.  It's just that in the entire Southern Song Dynasty, there were not many discerning people who knew him like this.

    The news was finally confirmed to come from Zhang Rongbu of the Tianbo Division who returned to the Yangtze River Defense Line from the Liaodong battlefield.

    On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, Long Xu, deputy chief of staff of the Tianbo Division, was ordered by King Hua.  Send an invitation letter to Lin'an.  The content of the invitation letter is that the Golden Chief surrenders, the war criminals are bound, and they will be taken to Tokyo for a public trial.  Please send representatives from the Xingyuan Dynasty to participate in this grand event.  At the same time, a list of the rescued clan members, including Queen Kang's mother, wife and children, is also attached.  Impressively ranked among them.  However, all the kings, emperors, and clans were present, but the most important person was missing¡ªYuan Sheng Zhao Huan.

    Long Xu said with great sadness that the golden man jumped over the wall and killed himself in the Five Kingdoms City. Yuan Sheng was killed, and Long Yu was buried in the sky.  It happened to be a blizzard in the north, and the whereabouts of the body were unknown.

    Great joy and great sorrow, nothing more than this.  The whole country in the Southern Song Dynasty mourned and went on strike for three days.

    Emperor Xingyuan was overwhelmed with grief in front of others, and laughed so hard in the back that his teeth and eyes were blinded - Zhao Da was over, and the dragon chair could finally sit safely.  Thank you Tianzhu Army, thank you Jinren, thank you Blizzard

    King Kang was also delighted that Zhao Qi was in office.  He can still fight, but if Zhao Da comes back, then there will be no chance at all.

    ?The next step is to send someone to attend the public trial ceremony, and to welcome back Taishang Daojun's dragon funeral.

    There is almost no need to discuss the candidate, it is ready to be announced¡ªKang Wang Zhaogou!

    This review of the audit may be sent to a major member of three or more.  You can handle it, but not everyone is qualified to welcome Taishang Longfu.  Looking at the entire Southern Song Dynasty, the person most qualified to go to Tokyo to welcome Taishang Long's funeral.  There are only two - Emperor Xingyuan Zhao Xu and King Kang Zhao Gou.

    As the king of a country, Zhao Xu, of course, cannot be in an unexpected place, so Kang Wang Zhao Gou is the only choice.  Not to mention, Zhao Gou's biological mother and first wife were both in Tokyo, and they had to be welcomed back together.  Who is the best candidate?

    Zhao Gou was not embarrassed at all about going to Tokyo, and happily expressed his willingness to go - the Lord of Tianshu, King Dilie of China, had released him and was determined not to detain him again.  Going to Tokyo to attend the public trial, to welcome the funeral of his father, and to take back his mother's concubine (since Zhao Gou abdicated, Empress Wei could only downgrade her title to Concubine Wei) and Concubine Xing, was a political bonus.  Moreover, when the mother-in-law returns to the court, as the late emperor's virtuous concubine, she will definitely be granted the title of empress if she enters the imperial palace.  By then, she will be able to sit on an equal footing with Empress Dowager Longyou, which will be of great benefit to her future actions.

    " Zhao Jiu can understand the benefits, how can Zhao Qi not understand it?  It's just that I have no choice and can't stop it.

    In early March, Emperor Xingyuan summoned King Kang into the palace to discuss the matter of sending an envoy to Tokyo, agreeing on the regulations and gifts for the envoy, and at the same time reaffirming the alliance with Tianshu.

    News from all sides confirms that the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, which was ferocious, ferocious and powerful, swallowed up the Liao Dynasty and destroyed the Song Dynasty, and swept across the north and south, was absolutely destroyed by the Tianzhu Northern Expedition, which took less than half a year., faster than the Jurchens destroyed the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

    And at this time the year before last, the Jin Kingdom, which had beaten the Southern Song Dynasty to pieces with only one hand (Jindong Route Army), was still so powerful, like a giant that people looked up to.  Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, it would vanish into ashes and cease to exist.  It is true that its prosperity is booming and its demise is sudden.

    By this time, even the courtiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, who had no vision, all understood one thing clearly: the power of the Tianzhu Army was far beyond imagination.  How incredible is it to be able to completely overthrow the behemoth of the Jin Kingdom and wipe it out of the world's chess game?

    The Kingdom of Jin was like an adult beating a child to the Southern Song Dynasty; the Heavenly Punishment to the Jin Kingdom was like a giant beating an ordinary person; so, what about the Heavenly Punishment to the Southern Song Dynasty?  Isn't it like a giant hitting a dwarf, as if playing?

    After coming to this conclusion, the courtiers of the Southern Song Dynasty quickly came to a unified understanding. From the past, they knew nothing about the Tianzhu Army and were even arrogant.  Jiaokou praised Emperor Xingyuan for his foresight and early alliance with Tianshu.  The leader of Tianshu is the queen of Yuan Sheng, and the leader of the Southern Dynasty is the younger brother of Yuan Sheng. The two parties are uncles and sisters, and they should strengthen their alliance and form a friendship for eternity.  It seems that all the courtiers have selectively forgotten how they criticized and reviled the officials when they first saw the covenant, causing a storm in the court.

    ??If we say that when the two brothers Zhao Qi and Zhao Jiu signed the "traitorous" covenant with Di Lie, they were still somewhat unwilling and reluctant, and even regretted it later.  By this time, with the victory of the Northern Expedition and the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, the imperial brothers finally corrected their attitudes.  Realize that God is invincible.  The king of Hua holds the sharp sword of a hundred thousand powerful Tianzhu army in his hand, and has already cut off the "head" of this behemoth of the Jin Kingdom. Where will the sword point at the next moment?  At this time, if you are not careful to please someone and try to please them, you will simply be sending excuses to your door, stretching your neck and waiting to be chopped!

    The eve of the mission.  Emperor Xingyuan summoned King Kang into the palace and focused on this issue.

    According to the records of palace officials, Emperor Xingyuan and the brothers Kang Wang had a friendly and harmonious conversation in the Chui Gong Hall, and the whole meeting process.  He talks and laughs, and the atmosphere is harmonious. He is really a model of harmony between king and minister, brother, friend and brother.

    After the meeting, Emperor Xingyuan also held a banquet in Yanhe Hall to entertain King Kang as a farewell party.  During the dinner, the officials and the prince thought about the death of their father and brother.  Throwing chopsticks makes it difficult to eat, choked and unable to speak, and each other weeps; when talking about the death of the old enemy Jin Kingdom, there is endless joy, officials generously write poems, King Kang hits the cup with chopsticks, and the poems are matched with each other. The scene is touching.

    That night Zhao Gou returned to the palace.  Sudden abdominal pain like cramping, non-stop vomiting, first vomiting soup, then bile, and finally vomiting blood

    The entire Prince Kang's palace was disturbed. After hearing the news, the palace quickly sent out an imperial doctor.  Diagnosed as a recurrence of an old disease, he should stay in bed for three months and rest in peace.

    ??Bedridden for three months?  King Kang will go to Jiankang in three days and cross the river by boat.  The mission to Tokyo this time, everything came to nothing.

    Emperor Xingyuan came out of the palace in person the next day to visit King Kang's condition. He held the hand of his ninth brother and said with tears: "Yesterday I had a happy chat with my brother, but today my brother is so ill Brother Wang, just take a good rest and recuperate, don't  If you need to worry about it, I will leave it to others for the mission."

    King Kang's complexion was sallow, and he could not help himself from the grief. He felt that it would be unfilial to not be able to personally attend the funeral of Taishang Long. He was even more grateful for the emperor's thoughtfulness and shed tears of shame.

    The first issue at the court meeting the next day was who could be the envoy to Tianshu on behalf of King Kang?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out  However, he had just stepped out of the queue and before he could open his mouth, Emperor Xingyuan stopped him with his eyes.  Although he didn't say a word, "You're not qualified yet" was written all over his face, which made the Yong'an County Duke (who had been promoted one level) blush with shame and sit back in the queue.

    Even if Zhao Jian is like this, another Xiangcheng County Duke (also Bosheng Gong), Zhao Gong, naturally does not dare to go out and ask for trouble.

    Under this circumstance, Left Prime Minister Lu Yihao proposed a candidate: Zhao Shibao, the chief minister of Panzong Temple and the king of Qi'an County.

    The ministers were startled at first, and then nodded frequently, including Emperor Xingyuan, who also nodded with a smile Indeed, except for the Prince of Qi'an, no one is qualified to welcome the Taishang Long's funeral.  Prince Qi'an's popularity is enough, so it doesn't matter if he adds a few more points.

    On the fourth day of March, in the Chongzheng Hall, the civil and military ministers were arranged in two rows. Emperor Xingyuan had just drafted the imperial edict for the envoy, and his servants accepted the edict. Qi'an County Prince Zhao Shibao was about to receive the edict.  Suddenly, a report from the supervisor on duty came from outside the palace: "Prince Kang, please see me!"

    In the Chongzheng Hall, the emperor and his ministers were all shocked.

    ??Afterwards, I saw Kang Wang Zhao Gou, with a slender face, his clothes were in the wind, stepping steadily onto the cloud steps, and saluted Emperor Xingyuan from a distance outside the palace: "I pay homage to your majesty."

    Emperor Xingyuan was obviously at a loss. After hesitating for a while, Fang Yang raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Kang, is ill. Why don't you rest in your mansion?"

     Zhao Gou bowed his head and saluted: "The dragon's funeral is still exposed in the wild, and the mother and concubine are waiting for it thousands of miles away. How dare the son of a man lie down in peace? I invite you to send Tianshu as an envoy to fulfill your loyalty and filial piety, and hope that your majesty will fulfill it."  "

    Emperor Xingyuan stood high above his majesty, with twelve jade strands in front of his crown, covering his expression, but the slightly trembling hem of his dragon robe revealed his state of mind at the moment.

    Zhao Shibao and Lu Yihao looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, smiled bitterly, sighed softly, no longer accepted the order, and retreated into the train.

    The air in Chongzheng Hall was cold for half a stick of incense before Emperor Xingyuan¡¯s cold and dry voice came out: "Quite¡ª¡ª"

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Zhao Gou thanked him loudly, and the moment he raised his head, he collided with two cold eyes from the gap in the jade in the distance, like invisible swords clashing, creating silent sparks.

    When we go away, brothers break up; when we meet again, yin and yang are separated.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
