The two emperors Hui and Qin had become like rats on the street. When they learned that the Jin army was heading towards Zhenjiang, the thousands of imperial troops guarding the two emperors were frightened and fled, leaving only a few hundred who were still loyal to the Song Dynasty. The dead soldiers still stayed with the Second Emperor and led them to continue to flee south.
However, the Jin army knew that the second emperor did not have many soldiers and horses to protect him, so he divided the cavalry into more than ten small teams and went south to pursue them. Within three days, they captured the second emperor in Quzhou.
At this point, the two emperors were captured, and the Song Dynasty was completely destroyed.
Murong Fuben was determined to save the Song Dynasty and did not want the tragedy of the Jingkang Revolution to be repeated in history. However, the ignorance of the Hui and Qin emperors really chilled him. It may not be destiny to reach this stage.
However, he at least preserved the safety of Bianjing City. Those concubines and female family members in the palace who were not taken away by the second emperor were properly placed and would not become the playthings of the Jin army's wanton humiliation like in history. The last trace of dignity of the Song Dynasty was preserved.
Just when Emperors Hui and Qin were captured and escorted all the way north, a group of people in disguise were also brought to a large manor in Longcheng called Wutong Garden.
When the long scarves and felt hats on their heads were taken off, these hundreds of people were all women of the same color, some old and young, with sad and gaunt faces.
When they saw this spacious manor with quiet elegance and pleasant scenery in front of them, some young women immediately covered their faces and started crying, feeling complicated and sad in their hearts. ?.?????.ℂ??
At this time, a phoenix chariot stopped outside the courtyard. Surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, a beautiful woman with gorgeous clothes, a phoenix hairpin on her head, and a graceful and noble demeanor stepped out.
"The Queen is here!"
The chamberlain quickly walked into the courtyard and shouted at the top of his voice.
When all the women in the courtyard heard the words "The Queen has arrived," their hearts tightened, and they arranged themselves neatly from front to back according to their status, not daring to lose etiquette.
The girls who were crying uncontrollably were also held in the arms of their mothers, and they lowered their heads in fear.
"Meet the Queen!"
Among the crowd, the middle-aged woman at the head was the first to bow to the visitor, and the women behind her also echoed.
Xiao Qi's eyes were red and he stepped forward to help the leader up. He choked several times and said, "Sister Zheng, please get up quickly. How can Xiao Qi accept such a great gift from you?"
Zheng's face was pale and she smiled bitterly and said, "Thanks to Emperor Yan's great kindness, we can have a place to live. Now that you are the Queen of Yan, we are already subjugated people, so we should salute you."
Xiao Qi heard the resentment in her heart, but when she thought about the day when Qin Zong kept the Yan army out of the city and humiliated those hard-working soldiers, the trace of guilt in her heart was also eliminated.
The Song Dynasty will be in trouble today, and it is really hard to blame others. Dayan can save the Song Dynasty once, and it can be saved a second time. Does it mean that it has to save the Song Dynasty for the rest of its life?
It was Huizong who drove the Murong family out of the Song Dynasty. Then when the Song Dynasty was in trouble, Dayan also sent troops to rescue it. How did the Song Dynasty repay Dayan?
It can be said that Dayan has already done her best to be benevolent and righteous. If Mrs. Zheng still resents Dayan for this, then she will not be able to do everything to her satisfaction.
Some of the women in front of them were Huizong's concubines, and some were Qinzong's queens and concubines. In addition, there were some princesses, young princes, and the maids who took care of them.
Today, Dajin has increasingly ignored Dayan. Although Murong Fu could frighten the Jin army for a while, it was impossible for them to abandon Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty. In order to ensure the safety of the people in the city, After discussing with Xiao Qi, Murong Fu decided to bring all important people back to Yanbei for resettlement.
Xiaoqi was also well aware of the cruelty of the Jin people. If the female relatives in the harem fell into the hands of the Jin people, they didn't know what kind of inhuman humiliation and torture they would suffer, so he ordered people to build the Wutong Garden and put it in the palace of Zhao and Song Dynasties. All the female family members were placed here, while some useless palace maids were dismissed.
The Empress Dowager Zheng in front of her was Huizong's third empress. The first Empress Wang died early, and the second Empress Liu, who was Zhao Fujin's mother, died three years after Empress Wang. After passing away, as for the current Empress Dowager Zheng, she also happened to be Zhao Yupan's biological mother.
The twelve-year-old girl hiding behind Empress Dowager Zheng is named Zhao Huer. She is the younger sister of Zhao Yupan's mother. She is the youngest and is timidly hiding behind her mother.
The young woman standing aside was Qinzong's Queen Zhu Lian, followed by the five-year-old crown prince, and holding the princess who was not yet one year old in her arms.
Xiao Qi reassured them that they could stay in Wutong Garden without any worries. If they needed anything, they could summon the servants to find her in the palace at any time.
Although many people are resentful towards Dayan and feel that Dayan did not save Song despite being capable, at the same time, there are also people who are grateful and grateful to Dayan for saving them from the prison.
Just when Xiao Qi sent someone to put down all the clothes and jewelry and was about to leave, Mrs. Zheng suddenly stopped her.
"Queen, why...why didn't Yu'er come with you?"
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but feel concerned when she thought of her eldest daughter Zhao Yupan.
Xiao Qi said, "Yu'er is nine months pregnant now, so it's inconvenient to come here. If Sister Zheng wants to see her, how about I take you to the palace tomorrow after you rest today and regain your energy?"
The Zheng family is gentle and gentle, and has always been known as a virtuous person. But now she has encountered a sudden disaster, and her family and country have been broken, causing her heart to be dark. When she gradually felt Xiaoqi's care for them, she slowly let go of her prejudices. Expressed gratitude to her.
Xiao Qi nodded slightly and returned to the palace with a somewhat complicated expression.
She first went to the East Palace and informed Zhao Yupan, who was lying on the bed, that her mother and sisters had taken her back to Longcheng, so that she could raise her baby in peace.
Then he went to find Murong Fu in the Hall of Valor.
Murong Fu knew what happened as soon as he saw her expression at this moment.
When Xiao Qi saw Murong Fu looking at her, the suppressed grievances in her heart suddenly surged into her heart, and she threw herself into his arms, with tears streaming down her face.
Murong Fu held her in his arms with some distress, and sighed warmly, "We must act with a clear conscience. As for whether others are grateful or not, it is not something we can control."
Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with tears and she choked with sobs, "I just want to help them..."
Murong Fu felt pity in his heart and explained, "People's hearts are complicated and treacherous. If everyone in the world could have a grateful heart, maybe the Song Dynasty would not have perished."
Only then did Xiao Qi understand why Murong Fu was so determined not to save Da Song, because even if he saved Da Song again, no one would be grateful.
Perhaps, this is what is called running out of energy.
