    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    On the day when the "Sheep-Leading Ceremony" in Tokyo ended, Zhao Gou, the envoy of the Xingyuan Dynasty and King of Kang, vomited blood and was bedridden.  Concubine Wei and Concubine Xing, who had been freed, waited in front of the bed day and night, washing their faces with tears.  After five years of separation, mother and son reunited as a couple. They were supposed to share a family relationship, but they never imagined that it would end up like this. How could the two concubines not be devastated.

    Before Zhao Gou went on his mission, he suddenly suffered from an "old illness" and vomited blood and was bedridden. This incident caused quite a stir in the Xingyuan Dynasty, and Di Lie certainly knew about it.  If a country's envoy suddenly suffers from illness within its sphere of influence, of course it must be taken seriously.  Di Lie immediately sent a medical attendant to diagnose and treat him, and the diagnosis he received was that "the serious illness has not been cured, the saddle and horse are tired, the mind is stimulated, the five internal organs are out of balance, the old wounds have recurred, and the root essence has been greatly damaged."

    Seeing such a diagnosis, Di Lie shook his head and laughed - if we say that before Zhao Gou went on his mission, the symptoms that were prominent and similar to food poisoning were declared by the imperial doctors of the Xingyuan Dynasty to be so-called "old diseases" and used to treat them.  To cover up Zhao Xu's conspiracy, this time the "relapse of old wounds" is real.

    Zhao Gou's physical fitness is indeed very good. In the first year of Jingkang, when he was sent as an envoy to Jin camp as a hostage, he impressed the Jin people with his riding and shooting skills, and even won the opportunity to escape in exchange for his hostage.  In the history of another time and space, Zhao Gou lived to the age of more than eighty years, which was rare among emperors in the past. He was truly a model of "being old but not dying is called a thief".

    But in this time and space, Zhao Gou's vitality was severely damaged - no matter how good his physical fitness was.  After suffering severe food poisoning and narrowly escaping death.  To embark on a long journey in just three days is to bet your life and consume your life span.  But Zhao Jiu can¡¯t help it!  They were all forced by Zhao Qi

    Zhao Gou was ill, so the funeral of Taishang Long was mostly handled by his deputy envoy Qin Hui.  As for where Long Funeral was buried, Zhao Zhen once visited Ninth Brother on behalf of Tianshu and his dual identity as the prince of the Song Dynasty.  It is proposed that the ancestral system should be followed and the father should be buried in the imperial mausoleum of Gong County.

    "Zhao Zhen's proposal is quite in line with regulations.  Gong County is located between Zhengzhou and Luoyang, facing Songshan Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. Luoshui River meanders from west to east. It has been regarded as an auspicious place since ancient times with "high mountains and high rivers".  There were nine emperors in the Northern Song Dynasty.  Except for the two unlucky ones Huizong and Qinzong, the other seven emperors are buried here. Together with the tomb of Zhao Hongyin, the father of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Gongxian Imperial Tombs are known as the "Seven Emperors and Eight Tombs".  It is reasonable and reasonable to bury the emperor in the ancestral mausoleum.

    But Zhao Gou firmly objected and pushed away the bowl of soup and medicine handed by Concubine Xing.  At the same time, he said with an angry tone: "Twenty-third brother, open your eyes and take a look. Who owns the world in Gyeonggi and Henan now? Wouldn't it be a big scandal to bury the emperor's dragon in the ancestral mausoleum of another country? If not,  It is too difficult to implement. My brother even wants to take out the tombs of all previous emperors and move them to the south of the Yangtze River"

    Zhao Gou said in a hurry.  I couldn't catch a breath, and there was another burst of coughing.  Concubine Xing hurriedly touched her back with her hands and handed over the silk scarf.  Zhao Gou covered his mouth with a silk scarf, coughing more and more violently, and his eyes showed a trace of pain and anger.

    Concubine Xing looked at her husband with distressed eyes, then turned to her brother-in-law, and said slightly angrily: "Twenty-third brother, your ninth brother is not in good health yet, so don't irritate him. You'd better go back first"

    Zhao Zhi wanted to say something else, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of the silk scarf covering Brother Ninth's mouth hanging down, and in the center, a large piece of shockingly bright red

    What else can Zhao Ting say?  I could only join Jiuwang's wife in tears.

    After receiving Zhao Zhen¡¯s report and learning about Zhao Gou¡¯s condition, Di Lie was also very surprised: ¡°Is your ninth brother really so ill?¡±

    Zhao Zhi shed tears and said: "Yes. I am in a state of broken bones. I cough after three sentences, and there is blood in the phlegm. I'm afraid I'm afraid"

    Such a bastard will die as soon as he dies. Just think of it as a way to avenge Zhu Wanting and the thirty female soldiers who were responsible for the bloodshed!  Di Lie sneered inwardly.  It's just that it's not good for you to die somewhere, but to die within Tianshu's sphere of influence. This will have a bad impact on Tianshu's diplomatic image.

    Di Lie tapped his fingers on the table and mused: "The envoys of the Song Dynasty are here at invitation. It would be inappropriate if we die here You are brother Kang Wang. What do you think?"

    Zhao Zhen said honestly: "I only hope that Brother Ninth can recover as soon as possible. Brother Ninth once said that he hopes to accompany your father Zi's coffin for the last journey in Qingcheng Zhai Palace."

    Di Lie thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, let him go."

    "That Concubine Wei and Sister-in-law Wang"

    Di Lie waved his hand: "Everyone, go."

    "Thank you, Your Highness."

    Zhao Gou moved from the Chinese Embassy to Qingcheng Zhai Palace, five miles south of Kaifeng.  This is one of the royal palaces of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Jin army that besieged Tokyo and the Tianzhu army that later besieged Tokyo were all stationed here.  Today the world is governed byOf course, we can no longer station our troops in such a place.  The Zhai Palace has resumed its original functions. The Dragon Funeral Coffin of the Supreme Being is now parked here. It is guarded by dedicated personnel. Every day, officials and scholars from the Song Dynasty come to pay their respects.

    Di Lie is not too concerned about this. People are nostalgic for the past, and people also have simple feelings. Just worship, as long as they don't forget to look forward.

    The Kingdom of Jin was destroyed, and the Central Plains was in ruins, waiting to be reborn. Envoys from surrounding countries continued to fight for their country's interests among the new forces.  Di Lie was busy with everything, and his trip back to Chang'an was delayed again and again. The incident with Zhao Gou had long been forgotten.  Until the night of April 26, Di Lie was working on papers in the Chui Gong Hall of the Imperial Palace. The palace guard reported that Deng Zhao, the head of the Tokyo Intelligence Group, had an urgent report and asked to see him.

    Di Lie signaled to summon him, and then he saw Deng Zhao rushing in, bowing and saluting, with a panicked expression on his face: "Your Highness, that Kang Wang Zhao Gou, he"

    Zhao Gou?  !  The image of a terminally ill tuberculosis ghost flashed in Di Lie's mind. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Is he dead?"

    When Deng Zhao heard this, his expression was very strange, and he smiled bitterly and said: "It would be better if I died This Zhao Gou ran away!"

    These days, there are not many things that can surprise Di Lie, but this unexpected news finally surprised him - ran away?  Is it necessary?  I neither intend to kill him nor imprison him!  On the contrary, I am still afraid that if he dies here, it will affect my diplomatic image of Tianshu!  He's running a hammer!

    Di Lie seemed to remember something and kept asking: "Zhao Gou ran away. Where is the emperor's dragon funeral coffin? Where is his mother, concubine, wife and children? Where is Qin Hui?"

    Deng Zhao's expression was also full of confusion: "That's what's strange. Everyone is here, including the coffin. The envoy Qin Hui sits in a state of dignity all day long, receiving worshipers, and visiting old friends from the DPRK and China. Hun  As if nothing happened. The main mission of King Kang¡¯s envoy is to return Taishang Long¡¯s funeral, and also to return his mother and wife! But now he is escaping alone, what¡¯s the point?¡±

    Di Lie frowned and stared at a certain point in the sky. He was lost in thought for a while, and gradually realized something. A smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This is because his mother, wife, and Qin Hui are all covering for him How did you discover Zhao  Who is missing?"

    Deng Zhao said in surprise: "It was a spy who had been inserted into the Qingcheng Palace by the intelligence team earlier. He found that Concubine Xing poured out the dregs of the medicine first - this is normal, but at night she also poured out the medicine. Suspicious, she sneaked in  Investigation at Zhao Gou's residenceonly to discover that this person had already escaped."

    "What a trick, what a scheming!" Di Lie slapped the table and laughed, "Zhao Jiu really has the potential to be an emperor, and he did a good job of playing a cruel trick."

    As the chief of intelligence, he was tricked right under his nose. Deng Zhao was indignant: "Your Highness, if we rush 400 miles and notify the Tianbo Division to patrol the river to intercept, Zhao Gou will never be able to escape."

    "No need! It's rare that Zhao Jiu spent so much effort and vomited several liters of blood, so he must be considerate." Di Lie leaned on the back of the chair, stretched his hands and feet, and looked south leisurely, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.  , "Zhao Jiu worked hard to hide the truth. The one who wants to plot is not us, but Zhao Qi! Now, the Southern Song Dynasty is very lively - well, we can't just watch the show, this is Qin Fengjun's march into Chengdu  It¡¯s a great opportunity for the government¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°What Zhao Gou concealed from the sky was not the sea, but the river¡ªthe Yangtze River.

    At this time, Zhao Gou has appeared on the mighty Yangtze River.  He was wearing a green hat and a beard all over his face. He couldn't look like the dashing King Kang at all. He stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back - in front of him, Jiankang Mansion was far away.

    That¡¯s right, Zhao Gou¡¯s move to escape the golden cicada was not aimed at the Tianshu forces, but his imperial brother, Zhao Xu!

    It is indeed true that Zhao Gou vomited blood and fainted during the sheep-raising ceremony. Otherwise, how could the Tianshu medical attendant give the diagnosis of "relapse of old wounds and severe damage to the root"?  Zhao Gou was shrewd and shrewd, and he used the recurrence of old wounds to play a bitter trick.

    He has a broken bones, which is the result of eating only one meal a day; he coughs every three times, which is partly due to illness, partly due to force; the blood on his silk scarf is because he bit his tongue ruthlessly Not so.  , Can An hide the truth from Zhao Zhen and get him to be his lobbyist, moving from the heavily guarded Tokyo Embassy to the loosely guarded Qingcheng Palace?  Only those who are cruel to themselves are truly cruel people, and Zhao Gou is undoubtedly this kind of person.

    The reason why he was cruel to himself and willing to take extraordinary risks to escape from under the noses of the Tianshu forces was for one purpose - to survive in the Qingcheng Palace where Emperor Xingyuan thought he was lying thousands of miles away.  At that time, little did he know that his destined enemy had secretly crossed into Chencang, approached the city, and opened a life-threatening net

    As for the Supreme Dragon's funeral coffin, mother, wife and children they all stand aside in front of the throne!  What kind of filial piety, kindness and courtesy, as long as you return to the throne, are you not just arbitrarily erasing them and changing them however you want?

    Everything, just for that golden chair!  WhichLife expectancy is halved!  Even if you are infamous for all eternity!  No matter what!

    The river wind is strong, the rapids are rolling, the reeds are like waves, and the river bank is in sight.

    Zhao Gou's eyes were intense, and he saw - on the river bank, general flags were flying, rows of dense iron armor, spears and halberds like a forest, license plates like a wall, and countless large and small warships, moored at the water gate, ready to launch at any time  ¡­

    Zhao Gou looked up to the sky and laughed, spreading his arms like a hug.  This was his secret move, a killer move that he had carefully planned and prepared for half a year.

    Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother!  You have plotted against me twice. If it weren't for your fate, Zhao Jiu would have become a piece of loess!  It is rude to come back without reciprocating. This time I, Zhao Jiu, return the courtesy!
