In the Humble Administrator's Garden, in the Imperial Study Room, Zhao Hong couldn't help but stood up in a daze when he saw the graceful and beautiful woman who came in.
"Princess, you...are here!"
Meeting an old friend after not seeing him for several years still made Zhao Hong's heart beat faster unconsciously.
For you, I will not hesitate to ruin my reputation!
Zhao Hong sighed in his heart, could he really do this?
Looking at the child Wan Yanchun was holding, Zhao Hong was startled again.
"This is……"
"Wan Yanchun has met the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Wan Yanchun suppressed the throbbing in his heart and bowed.
"Veteran Zhang Tiangang has met the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Zhang Tiangang also gave a courtesy.
"Mom, who is he?"
The cheerful Nan'er looked at Zhao Hong and asked curiously.
mother!
Zhao Hong looked at the child and then returned to Wan Yanchun with doubts in his eyes and his heart sank.
"You are already married to... someone. Congratulations... to you!"
The ex-girlfriend became his wife and had a son. What an unexpected surprise.
Seeing the disappointment in Zhao Hong's eyes, Wan Yanchun felt sour. He took a deep breath and nodded lightly.
"Your Majesty, he is my son, his name is Sinan, he is six years old this year."
She wanted to see if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was hugging him from left to right, would be jealous and uncomfortable for her?
"Sinan, six years old?"
Zhao Hong quickly recovered his mood, sat down and made a gesture of invitation.
"Princess, sit down. If you come to me now, won't you just go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing?"
Wan Yanchun was the princess of the Kingdom of Jin, and the newspapers were full of news about the Northern Expedition. If she came at this time, wouldn't she want him to stop fighting?
"Your Majesty, the newspapers are full of news about the Northern Expedition. I went south all the way, and along the way there were Song troops heading north. The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty seems inevitable. Does your Majesty want to use troops against Dajin?"
Sure enough, Wan Yanchun went straight to the point and made no secret of it.
"Princess, you are also concerned about these common things. Mr. Zhang is still as charming as ever. Please sit down."
Zhao Hong smiled slightly, the clouds were light and the wind was gentle.
"Your Majesty, I am a citizen of Daijin. It is related to the survival of Daikin. Of course I have to care, otherwise I will be a heartless and unjust beast!"
Wan Yanchun was annoyed by Zhao Hong's calmness and coldness, and asked with a dark face:
"Your Majesty, you haven't said yet whether you want to use troops against Dai Jin?"
"Princess, after all these years, you are still quick to talk, you haven't changed at all!"
Zhao Hong smiled slightly and suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
"The feud between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty is irreconcilable. Even as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, I can't resist the call for the restoration of the Central Plains in the Song Dynasty. Princess, if the Kingdom of Jin can surrender, all I can do is try to avoid the royal family of the Song Dynasty. Just humiliated.”
"Save the Daijin royal family from being humiliated. Your Majesty is so bold!"
Wan Yanchun glanced at his son who was looking around, and motioned him to be quiet.
"Can't Your Majesty just be accommodating to Dajin State Network?"
"Open the net?"
With a sneer, Zhao Hong looked at Wan Yanchun and shook his head gently.
"During the disgrace of Jingkang, did your Kingdom of Jin want to show mercy to the Song Dynasty? The royal family of the Song Dynasty was basically wiped out, the men were made slaves, the women were turned into prostitutes, and the two emperors were humiliated like dogs and died in humiliation. The Song Dynasty Half of the country was lost, and tens of millions of people of the Song Dynasty died in the war. How many heads do you have in the Jin royal family, who can get rid of the hatred of country destruction and blood feud in the hearts of thousands of people of the Song Dynasty? "
It is an understatement to say "open the net", not to mention those innocent creatures who were devastated by the war, even the raging public opinion about the destruction of money in the Song Dynasty could not be calmed down.
"Your Majesty, it's been a hundred years since the incident, so why care about it so much? Since the Song Dynasty moved south, the Jin and Song Dynasties have been fighting for hundreds of years. You come and I go back and forth, is there a winner? Dajin was bullied by the Tatars and was cramped in Henan. Today's Jin Kingdom The royal family is no longer the same as it was a hundred years ago.”
Wan Yanchun's tone softened. She also understands that some memories are too painful to be easily erased.
"Princess, it's useless for you to tell me these words. You should tell the scholars and people of the Song Dynasty to see if they will be lenient."
Zhao Hong looked calm and his mood returned to calm.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were waiting for the enemy, how could they stop fighting because of Wan Yanchun's arrival?
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty will definitely end in destruction, and there will be no room for relaxation?"
Wan Yanchun asked reluctantly.
Zhao Hong had a strict tone and never said what the Northern Expedition was about, whether he wanted to use troops against Dajin.
After being a bullshit emperor for several years, Zhao Hong's power in the city was getting deeper and deeper.
"Princess, there is nothing I can do about the hatred of destroying the country and the great shame and humiliation. If you and I get to know each other, I will try my best to treat the Daijin royal family as kindly as possible for your sake."
Zhao Hong finally made a decision. Facing his wife, he had given up all illusions.
"Princess, stay in Jinling for a while. The war is coming, so you'd better take care of yourself!"
"Your Majesty, if I am willing to serve Your Majesty, can Your Majesty, like Li Weiming, also let me, Dai Jin, live?"
Wan Yanchun bit his lip and forced out a sentence.
Zhao Hong and Li Wei were named Yang Yi and Li, and Wan Yanchun didn't know the secrets of the Song Dynasty.
"You, serve me? Where is the father of the child, can he agree?"
Zhao Hong looked at Wan Yanchun and the child in surprise, shook his head and laughed.
"Princess, what do you think of me? I don't have a hobby of taking other people's wives, even though I am the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Princess, please take care of each other."
He may still have Wan Yanchun in his heart, but he still has the most basic human ethics.
"Zhao Hong, you are so cruel!"
Wan Yanchun pointed at his son and said bitterly:
"do you know who he is?"
"Who is he? What does he have to do with me?"
Zhao Hong asked in surprise.
"Zhao Hong, listen carefully! His name is Zhao Sinan. He is six years old this year and was born on July 1, the second year of Xingqing."
Wan Yanchun stared at Zhao Hong and spoke out word by word.
"Zhao Sinan, six years old, July 1st, the second year of Xingqing... Princess, what do you mean?"
Zhao Hong looked at Wan Yanchun and the child with surprise in his eyes.
What does this mean?
"Sinan means missing the south of the Yangtze River. In September of the first year of Xingqing, I accompanied the Xixia envoy Luo Shichang and his party to Jinling. That evening..."
Wan Yanchun said softly, feeling very emotional. Zhao Hong looked at Wan Yanchun in surprise, then turned his eyes to the child, becoming confused and gentle.
"Princess...Master, you mean, he is you and me..."
"Yes, he is your son, Zhao Sinan."
Wan Yanchun nodded, finally letting go of the heavy burden in his heart.
"Nan'er, haven't you been clamoring for daddy all day? He is your daddy. Call him daddy!"
"Dad! Are you really my father? The greatest hero in the world?"
Zhao Sinan shouted softly, eyes full of curiosity.
"my son!"
Zhao Hong couldn't help but knelt down and hugged his son.
There is no need for a DNA test on his own son, he has no doubts.
He believed in Wan Yanchun. With Wan Yanchun's personality, no one can force her to get married, and no one can make her do so.
As the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. He was still as stubborn as when he first met Wan Yanchun, still a bit too "hard".
"Princess, so you have been single for so many years?"
Zhao Hong's heart suddenly became warm and full of tenderness.
He looked at the silent Zhang Tiangang, who bowed and gently withdrew.
"After I went back that year, I found out that I was pregnant. I gave birth to the child and braved the heat to wait for you in Xiaoguan. Who knew that you had returned to Jinling with your Xixia princess."
Zhang Tiangang left, and there were no outsiders. Wanyanchun spoke eloquently, with melancholy in his eyes.
"Princess, why didn't you find someone to send me a message later?"
Zhao Hong's heart was filled with guilt.
It was never his style to make his women suffer.
"The Tatars attacked Xixia and captured cities and territories in the northwest. The country was in chaos. I had just given birth to a child. After I recovered, you fought with the Tatar army at Shukou and captured Lanzhou, Lintao Prefecture and other places..."
Wan Yanchun spoke softly, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated.
"Princess, something went wrong. You have suffered!"
Zhao Hong spoke out emotionally and hugged his son gently.
Zhao Sinan, his child!
How many degrees does the spring breeze blow? That night of ecstasy!
"Your Majesty, for the sake of Nan'er and me, can you be accommodating to Dajin.com?"
After a moment of silence, Wan Yanchun asked softly from the side.
"Princess, this..."
Zhao Hong hesitated for a while.
"Why, can't your son make your grand hegemony less coquettish? You spared the Jin Kingdom, but your territory of the Song Dynasty is just one less. If you kill the Jin Emperor and the Jin royal family, they are all Nan'er's uncle and relatives. When Nan'er grows up, how do you want him to face these bloody killings?"
Wan Yanchun's merciless words made Zhao Hong stunned. He looked at his son in his arms, and the innocence in his eyes made him silent.
Ambitious hegemony?
Was everything he did just for the grand ambition Wan Yanchun mentioned?
The decline of the nation and the suffering of tens of millions of innocent people, are these just the so-called "grand ambition"?
The woman he has always been obsessed with, Wan Yanchun, doesn't understand him that well.
In the world of mortals, loneliness is truly the loneliness of riding a horse!
"Princess, since you are here, please stay for a while. When the Northern Expedition begins, it is up to you to decide where you want to go. Nan'er will stay in the Song Dynasty, and as for your Kingdom of Jin..."
Zhao Hong paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"Princess, what I can do is to be kind to the Daijin royal family and the people of Daijin. After all, they are all my... subjects of China. This is also the limit of what I can do. As for letting Daijin survive as a country, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so. .”
Regarding his marriage, he has regained his composure and does not want to wrong anyone.
Restoring the Central Plains is a sure thing. As for whether it is just for some grand ambition and hegemony, let's wait and see.
"Zhao Hong, you are such a hard-hearted bastard!"
Wan Yanchun's expression changed and he said angrily.
Zhao Hong shook his head and smiled. Wan Yanchun's mood at this moment should be similar to Li Weiming's at that time.
The seat under everyone's buttocks is different. If that's the case, why should he be far-fetched and forceful?
The two were facing each other in silence when a knock on the door sounded, followed by Anael's voice.
"Your Majesty, let me bring you some hot porridge."
"come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and Anal came in with tea. When she saw Wan Yanchun and her son, she couldn't help but be startled.
"Anal, put it down. We have something to say, so you can go out first."
"Yes, Your Majesty, remember to drink it while it's hot."
Ana'er whispered a warning, glanced at Wan Yanchun, and backed away gently.
"Your Majesty, there is never a shortage of beauties around you!"
Wanyanchun smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression.
"Her name is Ana'er, and she is the daughter of the King of Gaochang. She is willing to stay in the Song Dynasty and serve me. She is willing to do so, but I have nothing to do."
Originally, he wanted to say that he and Anal had no male-female relationship and that they were innocent, but he just felt bored and simply didn't say anything.
The world has changed, but for peace of mind, does he need to explain to others?
"Your Majesty, I will also stay at the Jinling Martial Arts Hall and wait for your reply until you promise not to use troops against Dajin."
After Wan Yanchun finished speaking, he held his reluctant son and left the study.
Zhao Hong was lost in thought alone, when Li Tang hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, handing over the memorial.
"Your Majesty, the truth is confidential, something happened to the imperial concubine!"
Zhao Hong took the memorial, looked at it for a few times, and was stunned.
