In the winter of the 16th year of Jiading in the Song Dynasty, near the end of the year, Lin'an City, Chaotianmen, Qingpingfang, and Yanjia Rice Shop.
Winters in the south of the Yangtze River are wet and cold, especially when it rains in the twelfth lunar month of winter. It is cold and humid, and is no better than in the north. The kind of dampness and coldness that goes straight into the bone marrow is terrifying.
But even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, when it was raining and snowing, a few tough men were still on guard outside the door, watching with eagerness and vigilance, not afraid of the cold outside.
It was freezing rain outside and the wind was biting, but in the lobby there was a blazing charcoal fire, as warm as spring. Yan Chun, the shopkeeper of Yanjia Rice Shop, sat in the upper position, and a strong man stood solemnly and respectfully in the hall. Judging from the expressions of the two talking, it seemed that they were not relaxed.
"Zhang Zhang, listen to what you said. In the Song Dynasty, there were many people who joined forces with Meng to destroy Jin, but few people joined forces with Jin to destroy Mongolia. There are almost no people who re-introduced coins to Jin?"
The firelight reflected on Yan Chun's face. Although she occasionally looked stubborn, she was still charming and charming.
"Master, you don't know something. The kings and scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were all cowards who acted according to the changing circumstances. As soon as they saw that the Tatar soldiers and horses were strong and drove the Jin Kingdom to the south of the Yellow River, they all had bad intentions and wanted to follow the Tatars. Army, take the opportunity to get a share of the pie. There are many such people."
Zhang Kai introduced cautiously, with worry on his brows.
"There are also those students from Taiyuan College who are always making suggestions and asking the Song Dynasty court to expedition to the north. Even Shi Miyuan, the dignified Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, wants to give them some credit."
When he opened his mouth, Yan Chun frowned and cursed:
"These idiots, don't they know that their lips are dying and their teeth are cold? What a bunch of useless trash!"
Yan Chun didn't know who he was scolding, so he didn't dare to contradict, so he could only nod in agreement.
"Have you found out the details about that person named Zhao?"
Yan Chun flicked the charcoal in the brazier with tongs and asked softly without raising his head.
The person named Zhao in her mouth was of course the Duke of Ji, Zhao Hong, who had fished them out of Lin'an Prison.
"Returning to the master, this man's name is Zhao Hong. He is the only prince in the official family of the Song Dynasty. He is named Duke of Ji, and everyone in Lin'an City knows it. He has a wife named Wu. The two had a falling out, and Wu disappeared. Now he is around There is a maid named Xu Ji, who can play the piano and is quite pretty."
The man who answered leaned forward and was respectful.
"So, he is the future emperor of the Song Dynasty?"
Yan Chun raised his head and frowned slightly.
The person who came to save them turned out to be the only prince of the Song Dynasty. No wonder Lin'an Prefecture would let Zhao Hong go. Otherwise, they would still be locked up in Lin'an Prison.
If we investigate further, I'm sure something else will go wrong.
"Master, although the Duke of Ji, Zhao Hong, is a prince, it is not certain whether he can become the prince, let alone the future emperor of the Song Dynasty."
The man replied softly, still being very humble and adhering to the distinction between superiority and inferiority.
The man's words made Yan Chun stunned and blurted out.
"Since Zhao Hong is the only prince of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, why can't he be the prince, and why can't he be the emperor? Could it be that he has some hidden disease and will die tomorrow? Or that he is a fake prince and will be killed. Wasted?"
"Big coward" has a lot of weird things going on. The king often becomes a "Taoist priest", occupies the latrine and refuses to shit, and clings to the throne. The scholar-bureaucrats recited poems and composed poems, had beautiful wives and concubines, did nothing every day, and did all the dirty things, and yet they were still rich and carefree.
The imperial power was weak and the treacherous prime minister was monopolizing power. It was no wonder that the Song army was weak and suffered repeated defeats.
I don’t know, how can those people endure it when they are hungry and full?
"My master doesn't know that although Zhao Hong is the only prince in the official family of the Song Dynasty, he has offended the powerful prime minister Shi Miyuan and the current queen Yang Guizhi. With Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang, the prince Zhao Hong will most likely be deposed. ”
He opened his mouth and spoke softly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
A good-for-nothing loser, I wonder if he will be really abolished in the end?
If Zhao Hong were here and heard this opening, he would definitely be shocked.
"Shi Miyuan is just the prime minister, and Yang Guizhi is just the harem. Can they also depose the prince? If Zhao Hong is deposed, who will become the prince?"
The surprise in Yan Chun's eyes was even worse.
The majestic prince was replaced by ministers and harem at will. The Song Dynasty royal family was too weak. Can Shi Miyuan really cover the sky with one hand?
This "big coward" is really weird.
"My master does not know that the prime minister of the Song Dynasty has more power than the prince and officials. Not to mention the prince, even if he is the prince, he has no power and power. He is not as good as the minister of the six ministries, let alone the prime minister."
Zhang Zhang continued to explain with great interest.
"Two years ago, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan found Zhao Yuju, a descendant of the Zhao and Song royal families from among the people. Zhao Yuju was originally a rogue in the countryside of Kuaiji. He was selected as the heir of King Yi. Zhao Kuo, an official of the Song Dynasty, named Zhao Guicheng. Shi Miyuan was very fond of Zhao Guicheng. He valued it and sent his fellow countryman Zheng Qingzhi to teach Zhao Guicheng. The villain thought, this matter is not that simple. "
The open imagination is really rich. If Zhao Hong himself were here at this time, he would definitely give a thumbs up and say "I love you".
"So, Zhao Hong's situation is very bad. Maybe this Zhao Guicheng is his replacement for Zhao Hong."
Yan Chun looked at Kai Zhang in confusion and shook his head repeatedly.
"But even so, as the son of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, isn't it true that the prince can be deposed as he pleases? Are the officials of the Song Dynasty just watching Shi Miyuan and others behave like this?"
Yan Chun shook his head, still not believing in Zhao Hong's weakness, nor in the "civet cat for prince" thing.
"Master, there are two people, Shi Miyuan and Yang Guizhi, one is the Prime Minister of the dynasty and the other is the Queen of the dynasty. These two people are working together. Is there anything they dare not do? Let's talk about the former Grand Master of the Song Dynasty, Han Yuzhou, who was also the former Prime Minister. He was robbed and killed by Yang Guizhi and Shi Miyuan, and his head was cut off and sent to the Kingdom of Jin. At that time, the master had just been born. "
He talked about old things with a smile on his face, but his heart was agitated.
The master ran to Lin'an City. If his family found out, he didn't know what trouble would be caused.
"I've heard about this. During Han Yunzhou's "Kaixi Northern Expedition", the Song army was pissed off, and Han Yuanzhou and Su Shidan had their heads cut off. I didn't expect that Shi Miyuan and Yang Guizhi did this together. What a weird thing happened in the Song Dynasty. It will happen!”
Yan Chun sighed and looked at the fire in trance.
"Master, you'd better go home early so that your family won't miss you."
Zhang Zhang couldn't help but persuaded again.
"Open, don't worry, I'll go back after a few days of fun. I just wanted to see the enchanting people in Lin'an City, but I didn't expect that there was nothing but depression and arrogance. It's really boring!"
Yan Chun snorted coldly and suddenly spoke.
"Zhang Zhang, you haven't said yet, why did the prince Zhao Hong offend the prime minister and the queen at the same time?"
"Master, Zhao Hong has a bad temper and a bad mind. Let the villain handle his affairs one by one."
With a smile on his face, he spoke carefully.
Zhang Zhang finally finished speaking, and Yan Chun listened with great interest.
"So, this Zhao Hong is indeed a stubborn ass and a big fool! How could such a waste become the prince?"
Yan Chun shook his head, stood up, walked down, and frowned again.
"But when I saw this man outside Lin'an Mansion that day, he was quite imposing. He didn't seem to be a brainless idiot. Do you think he was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? He wanted to become the leader of the Qing Dynasty in the Song Dynasty to fight against Shi Miyuan. One party?”
"Master, people should not be judged by their appearance. I will remember what happened to Zhao Hong in the future. You'd better set off home as soon as possible to avoid a long night and many dreams!"
Zhang Zhang couldn't help but persuaded again.
What do these things have to do with you, a wealthy and carefree outsider? It was better to go back quickly to avoid being blamed from above, but he couldn't afford it.
"Open up, why are you urging me? You're so brave!"
Yan Chun's eyes widened, he opened and shut his mouth quickly, lowered his head and bowed.
There is a difference between high and low, high and low, and he is indeed a little impatient.
"This Zhao Hong is a bit interesting."
Yan Chun muttered, raised his head, looked at Zhang Kai, and rolled his eyes.
"Zhang Tian, you read a lot. There is a story in the Han Dynasty book about a businessman named Qi Huo. It is the story of Qin Shihuang and his father..."
"Master, Qi Huo Ke Ju, tells the story of the Qin State's hostage Yi Ren during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He was rescued by the businessman Lu Buwei and returned to the Qin State. In the end, the Yi Ren became the emperor. His son was the famous Qin Shihuang, and Lu Buwei became the prime minister."
Zhang Zhang quickly introduced.
The master has only known how to ride horses, shoot arrows, drink and have fun since he was a child. He is not a prostitute and does not read poetry and books, but he is smart enough.
"Open up, do you think it's better for Zhao Hong to be the emperor, or for Shi Miyuan to be the prime minister?"
"What?"
Zhang Zhang couldn't help but be startled and looked at his master in confusion.
"I'm asking you, is it better for Shi Miyuan to be prime minister or Zhao Hong to be emperor?"
Yan Chun repeated it dissatisfied, then turned back and sat down.
"Master, can Zhao Hong become emperor? I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Zhang Zhang was still confused, but when he saw Yan Chun's eyes widening, he said quickly.
"Of course it would be better for Shi Miyuan to be the prime minister. Shi Miyuan was most afraid of war in the border fortress, and he was a well-known peace advocate in the Song Dynasty. It was Shi Miyuan who overturned Qin Hui's verdict. Li Quan was arrogant and lawless in Shandong, and Shi Miyuan still provided Food and salary. If Shi Miyuan becomes prime minister, I...the border fortress will be peaceful..."
Zhang Kai said carefully, but was interrupted by Yan Chun.
"You are such a pig-brained person. You only know that on the battlefield..."
Yan Chun waved his hand and stopped immediately, and the topic returned to Shi Miyuanhe.
"If Shi Miyuan is still the prime minister and has weak bones, he will definitely join forces with Mongolia to destroy the Jin. If Zhao Hong becomes the emperor, he is the main war faction and will definitely resist the Mongols. As for whether he will join forces with the Jin..."
Yan Chun looked at the charcoal fire thoughtfully.
In her words, she only talked about Prime Minister Shi Miyuan and did not mention Zhao Kuo, an official of the Song Dynasty. Obviously, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, who only knew how to cultivate his moral integrity, had been habitually ignored by everyone.
"Master, although Zhao Hong is dissatisfied with the master Shi Miyuan, he is also dissatisfied with the Jin Kingdom because of the feud between Song and Jin Dynasties. Instead of working hard on Zhao Hong, it is better to make friends with Shi Miyuan. You may have unexpected gains."
Zhang Zhang really looked down upon Zhao Hong, that licentious waste. Instead of wasting time on such a useless person, it would be better to spend a lot of money to befriend Shi Miyuan, a powerful man.
"Shi Miyuan is a grassroots man. He is unreliable. Otherwise, he would not have stopped paying the annual coins and allowed the war to spread. You know the current situation and you have to think of some ways. I want to give it a try to see if I can get any unexpected gains. .Ask me to marry that person...I might as well just die!"
A layer of confusion appeared in Yan Chun's eyes unconsciously.
"Yes, yes! Master, just leave these things to us. You should go back... home!"
Zhang Kai was startled and quickly persuaded him again.
Yan Chun was so imaginative that he actually wanted to help Zhao Hong ascend to power.
She didn't even think about it, did she have this ability?
"Before I go back, I must give it a try. Besides, it will be convenient for us to work with Zhao Hong and buy his face from Lin'an Mansion."
Yan Chun waved his hand impatiently, and his mood became worse.
"Master, the villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die!"
He opened his face and turned pale, knelt down and kowtowed, making a "bang bang" sound.
"Get up! Never make your own decisions again!"
After Zhang Zhang stood up timidly, Yan Chun frowned and said.
"Open it, go and prepare a gift. I'm going to visit Duke Ji Guo. I want to see if this Zhao Hong is really that bad? Can he still be a rare commodity?"
"Yes, Master. I will do it now."
Zhang Kai no longer dared to object and nodded repeatedly.
Master, do you want to be the Lu Buwei of the Warring States Period?
Is this a joke?
"What's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Seeing Zhang Kai's hesitation, Yan Chun frowned again.
"Master, I want to say something more. That Duke of Ji Guo Zhao Honghuang is lecherous and is a famous pervert. You have to be careful. He was always looking at you outside Lin'an Mansion that day. I am worried because he doesn't have any intentions towards you. kindness."
He said it with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Am I still afraid of him, a dandy from Lin'an City? If he is really naughty, I will use this to castrate him!"
Yan Chun held the fire tongs in his hand and said viciously.
"That's it! That's it!"
Zhang Kai was startled and flattered his master.
"Master, the rain outside has stopped! The sun has come out!"
There were servants outside who shouted loudly.
"The rain has stopped, great!"
Yan Chun put down the tongs and asked excitedly.
"Open up, where is the building outside the building that says "The green mountains are outside the mountains, when are the singing and dancing in the West Lake closed?" Do you know?"
It can make tourists mesmerized. This building outside the building must be a good place to go.
"Master, that's called Fengle Tower. It's on the edge of the West Lake outside Fengyu Gate, the west gate of Lin'an City. If master wants to go, I will accompany him!"
He opened his mouth and said it with a sad face.
It was cold and wet, but the owner was so excited!
"Without further ado, let's go now!"
Yan Chun stood up and clapped his hands, showing great interest.
When you arrive in Lin'an City, you naturally have to experience the charming and charming Lin'an City and go to some of the fun places in Lin'an City.
Seeing that Yan Chun was in high spirits, he opened his mouth and shook his head secretly.
At this time, the master no longer said that Lin'an City was sluggish and luxurious, but wanted to experience it and say one thing and do another.
A place to eat, drink and have fun, what’s there to do?
The people of Song Dynasty were defeated by playing with things and losing their ambition.
