Chapter 706 Seniority cannot be messed up (please subscribe!)

...

early morning.

After Li Yan left.

Xing Bingyi sat on the bed in disheveled clothes and wiped his tears.

Tian Chunluo and Jiang Zuimei were also disheveled, with tears on their faces.

Only Concubine Wei Xian didn't cry, and not only didn't she cry, Concubine Wei Xian looked extremely bright and charming.

Although her son is already 20 years old, Concubine Wei Xian felt that she became a real woman only last night.

That time, that is, the time when Concubine Wei Xian was pregnant with Zhao Gou, Zhao Ji got drunk, and Concubine Wei Xian picked up Concubine Qiao's leftovers, and it was over in just a dozen strokes.

In other words, Concubine Wei Xian didn't even realize what it's like to be in love with a man and a woman, so Zhao Ji made it up, and then turned over and fell asleep.

Since then, Zhao Ji, who doesn't like Concubine Wei Xian and has no shortage of women, has never touched Concubine Wei Xian again.

It wasn't until last night that Li Yan, who was full of evil, finally ravaged Concubine Wei Xian and saved Concubine Wei Xian from dying, that Concubine Wei Xian truly realized what it was like to love between a man and a woman.

That taste made Concubine Wei Xian a little scared, but also a little obsessed, so that after she opened her eyes, Concubine Wei Xian couldn't help recalling it.

It may be because of the joy of the second spring, after Wei Xianfei got up, she couldn't help but put on some light makeup.

In the end, Concubine Wei Xian looked at herself in the mirror, no matter how she looked, she felt that she was extraordinarily beautiful today.

In this situation, Concubine Wei Xian really couldn't cry, even if she saw the three daughter-in-laws crying, she felt that it would be wrong not to cry.

In the end, Concubine Wei Xian could only keep a straight face and said: "Don't cry anymore, the matter has come to this, what problem can crying solve?"

Hearing this, Xing Bingyi turned her head aside—it was obvious that she had a grudge against Concubine Wei Xian.

It's not Xing Bingyi's fault either.

Last night, the three of them struggled for a while, but Concubine Wei Xian only made a symbolic resistance and obeyed Li Yan, which made the three of them dumbfounded.

That's all, just now, Concubine Wei Xian was still painting and painting, how can there be any sadness?
And they really love Zhao Gou, and they are really sad about what happened last night.

Let's put it this way, if it weren't for the fact that he was pregnant, Xing Bingyi would have thought of himself as Zhao Gou Shoujie.

Under such circumstances, Xing Bingyi naturally disliked Concubine Wei Xian.

But Concubine Wei Xian is also a mother-in-law and an elder.

Therefore, Xing Bingyi could only turn her head aside to express her dissatisfaction with Concubine Wei Xian.

Concubine Wei Xian also climbed to the position of concubine step by step from the bottom, how could she not see this, let alone Xing Bingyi's performance is so obvious?

Concubine Wei Xian brewed her emotions for a while, and said: "I know, you are blaming me for being dissolute, but you have never thought about it, who am I doing this for?"

Hearing this, Xing Bingyi turned his head back, and looked at Concubine Wei Xian in puzzlement, as did Tian Chunluo and Jiang Zuimei.

Seeing Xing Bingyi, Tian Chunluo, and Jiang Zuimei looking at her, Concubine Wei Xian choked up slightly and said, "I did this to protect you and Gou'er's six children?"

Xing Bingyi, Tian Chunluo, and Jiang Zuimei seem to have realized something after hearing the words!
Concubine Wei Xian wiped the corners of her eyes, and then continued: "The millions of troops in the Song Dynasty failed to resist the Jin army entering Bianliang City, and the Jin army that defeated the millions of troops in the Song Dynasty was easily defeated by the Chinese army. Li, who has such a powerful army Yan, how can we be provoked by a few weak girls, haven't you heard that when the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses?"

Xing Bingyi said: "Death is all. Although we are not real men, we are not afraid of death."

Tian Chunluo and Jiang Zuimei listened to the words, but remained silent-obviously, they did not have the awareness of Xing Bingyi.

Concubine Wei Xian glanced at Tian Chunluo and Jiang Zuimei, and said: "We will die if we die, but what about the children, and the child in your womb, it may be Gou'er's only son."

Hearing Concubine Wei Xian's words, Xing Bingyi opened his mouth, wanting to keep talking.

But Xing Bingyi couldn't say this.

To put it bluntly, Xing Bingyi was not a chaste and strong woman like Zhu Lian at all. If she was, she would not have lived in the Kingdom of Jin for more than ten years and suffered humiliation before dying.

Seeing that Xing Bingyi's attitude was a little slack, Concubine Wei Xian said again: "Daughter-in-law, this loss of virginity is not what you and I wanted. I think my son should be able to understand you and me."

After a pause, Concubine Wei Xian continued: "Furthermore, as long as the child in your womb is a boy, that is Gou'er's eldest son, or Gou'er's only son, who can guarantee that you can't become the second Zhao Ji? "

When Xing Bingyi heard the words, his heart moved, and he said to himself: "Yes, if I can bear a son for the king, maybe the king can accept me."

Thinking about Zhao Gou's love for her all the time, Xing Bingyi felt that this matter was feasible.

Xing Bingyi quickly comforted himself and said, "I don't blame me for this matter. It was Li Yan who forced me. I think Your Majesty will understand me."

Seeing that Xing Bingyi seemed to have convinced herself, Concubine Wei Xian said again: "We are not the only ones who have suffered this, Empress Zhu, the emperor's concubines, the emperor's concubines, the emperor's Shuyi, Jin Nongyu, and the emperor's concubines. Didn’t the emperor’s Shurong Peiyueli Chang’e, the emperor’s Shurong Chen Jiaozi, the emperor’s Chongyi Shen Guanyin, Princess Yun, Princess Su, Princess Jing, Princess Ji, and Princess Ji accept all of them? What can’t we accept? "

Speaking of this, Concubine Wei Xian got into the drama and said: "This is a catastrophe for the entire Zhao family, and it was caused by the incompetence of the men and women of the Zhao family. We are just women in deep palaces. The country has nothing to do with us. Why should we blame us?"

Concubine Wei Xian's words resonated with Xing Bingyi and the others.

Xing Bingyi said: "My lady's words are very true, I'll just listen to my lady."

Concubine Wei Xian nodded and said: "Our top priority is to live well. Only by living can we have a future and hope."

After thinking about it, Concubine Wei Xian said again: "Also, from now on, you don't want to call me Xiaoniang, call me elder sister, and the seniority can't be messed up."

As soon as Concubine Wei Xian said this, the three of Xing Bingyi all looked at Concubine Wei Xian in a daze.

Seeing this, Concubine Wei Xian hurriedly added: "People have to bow their heads under the eaves. We can't offend Li Yan and implicate a few children just because of a title."

Concubine Wei Xian's words made sense.

However, whether Concubine Wei Xian thinks so, I am afraid that only Concubine Wei Xian knows.

……

"Have you heard that Emperor Dazhong has taken His Royal Highness King Kang's mother?"

"I've heard about this too, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"If this is true, then after His Royal Highness King Kang ascended the throne, wouldn't he become the emperor?"

"Speak carefully! How can you say such nonsense!"

"What are you afraid of? Everyone is talking about this now. The law does not blame everyone. Could it be that I am the only one to be arrested?"

"That's right, listen, who is not talking about this in the streets?"

"Misfortune comes from the mouth, and too many words will lead to mistakes."

"Go, go, if you are afraid, don't stay with me... Hey, I also heard that the Emperor Dazhong not only accepted His Highness Kang's mother, but also His Highness Kang's concubine."

"Not only that, I also heard that Emperor Dazhong also accepted five daughters of His Royal Highness Kang Wang."

"Jing nonsense, His Royal Highness Kang Wang is only 20 years old. Even if he married a wife and had children at the age of 12, his oldest daughter would be seven or eight years old. No matter how romantic and lustful the Emperor Dazhong is, it is impossible for him to accept five children as concubines?"

"Who said the house will be consummated now? Now it's just a name, and the house will be consummated when they grow up."

"Emperor Dazhong shouldn't be down to this level, right?"

"Who can say for sure? Is this kind of thing rare in the past?"

"That's right, Mrs. Wu Shun of South Korea not only served Wu Zetian together, but also served her own daughter He Lan's together. This kind of thing is indeed common."

"Sisters, mother and daughter serve one husband together, I believe it. But three generations of grandparents serve one husband together, I don't believe it."

"Believe it or not, anyway, Emperor Dazhong and His Highness Kang Wang are relatives."

"It would be great if Emperor Dazhong and His Royal Highness Kang Wang were really relatives, then there would be no need to fight anymore. I've had enough of this chaos."

"Hahaha... You are so interesting, don't say that Emperor Dazhong and His Highness Kang Wang are such relatives, even if they are father and son, this battle has to continue."

"how do I say this?"

"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country. As long as His Royal Highness King Kang ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor today, Dazhong and Dasong will be in an endless situation."

"Ah~ I still have to fight, when will this be the head!"

"The winner is completely determined, and it's the head."

"Eh!"

"Hey, tell me, who can win?"

"Does it need to be said? The Jin army destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the Chinese army defeated the Jin army. It is clear at a glance which one is stronger."

"Then what kind of emperor is His Royal Highness King Kang? It's better to recognize the relative of Emperor Dazhong, and then the two families will become one family, and the world will be peaceful."

"Things are not as simple as you said, the water here is deep."

"..."

……

In the imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou didn't want to wear his hat because he thought it was green.

Zhao Gou had also heard the discussions on the street, which made him feel as disgusted as eating a million flies, even if he could tell, it must be fake news deliberately released by someone to suppress his prestige.

In fact, Zhao Gou's guess was not wrong.

Although Kaifeng Mansion is not far from Yingtian Mansion, it is impossible for what happened just last night to spread from Yingtian Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion so quickly, and it is even more impossible for everyone to know about it.

Therefore, these news are not based on real news, but rumors made by the secret special forces according to their needs.

It's just a coincidence that the rumors made by the secret special forces collided with the truth.

The reason why Zhao Gou was angry was because he felt that he would have to wear this green hat sooner or later.

How can this make Zhao Gou, who is powerless about it, feel better?

Kang Lu knew that Zhao Gou was in a bad mood, but the enthronement ceremony was about to begin, and if it dragged on, the auspicious time would be over, so he could only bite the bullet and remind Zhao Gou in a low voice: "Officials, civil and military officials The officer has been waiting for a long time."

Zhao Gou knew in his heart that he couldn't be angry anymore, otherwise the big event would be delayed, so he suppressed his nausea and said: "The gang will put on the dragon crown."

When Kang Lu heard this, he quickly put on the hat that Zhao Gou didn't want to wear, and then accompanied Zhao Go out to meet civil and military officials.

Don't gossip.

Although the conditions are much worse than Li Yan's, the procedure that should be followed, Zhao Gou is also in decline, for fear that others will find it illegal.

crowned.

Set the country number.

Read the edict.

Accept the congratulations from all officials.

Amnesty the world.

Bestow all officials.

sacrificial activities.

At the moment when Zhao Gou was about to become the new emperor of the Song Dynasty, a blind servant rushed to the hall and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

When Kang Lu heard the words, he rushed over, then waved at the servant twice, and cursed: "What can be more important than His Majesty's ascension to the throne, get out of here!"

The servant may have been beaten by Kang Lu, and he didn't understand Kang Lu's meaning at the first time, and said: "The puppet Chinese army is coming soon, isn't this matter more important than His Majesty's ascension to the throne?"

As soon as the servant's words came out, the audience went into an uproar!

Wang Boyan looked at the servant and asked, "What's going on, tell me quickly!"

The waiter said: "The front line reported that in the early morning of this morning, the puppet Chinese army suddenly divided into three groups to attack the front line. The Bozhou Army, Huaixi Army, Jingjiang Army, Ningwu Army, Jing Navy, and Yanyan Army all collapsed in one battle. Right now, the puppet Chinese army is attacking Yingtian Mansion from east, north, and west."

After the servant reported, Zhao Gou panicked immediately, and then searched around for a long time before finding Zong Ze, and said, "Zong Aiqing!"

Zong Ze heard the words, stepped out, and then said loudly: "The minister is here."

Zhao Gou said: "I appoint you as the frontline manager, and quickly lead the troops to meet the enemy!"

Zong Ze said without delay: "The minister takes orders!"

After speaking, Zong Ze went down to prepare for the expedition.

After Zong Ze left, under Wang Boyan's suggestion, Zhao Gou finished the enthronement ceremony hastily, named "Jianyan", and became the tenth emperor of Zhao Song Dynasty, and then hid in a secret room with several important officials to discuss countermeasures .

Wang Boyan said: "The puppet Chinese army must have come this time with bad intentions. The officials should have made plans to go south."

Li Gang, who had been in Yingtian Mansion for a few days, objected: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and abandoned the capital. How can he convince the people? In my opinion, if the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, it would be better to fight this battle with the Puppet People. , to build prestige for His Majesty."

Huang Qianshan said: "It's ridiculous! The Jin army is not the opponent of the puppet, how can we stop the puppet army?"

Li Gangdao: "This statement is wrong. The army of the puppet army can fight, but the main force of the puppet army is now fighting with the Jin army. Moreover, I dare to assert that the puppet army will definitely take advantage of this golden opportunity to recover Yanyun. Therefore, come The army that will fight us will certainly not be too many, I will boldly guess, its number will never exceed one hundred thousand, and our Song Dynasty now has five or six million troops, why can't we fight?"

As soon as Li Gang came, Zhao Gou appointed Li Gang as the right servant of the Shangshu and the assistant minister of the Zhongshu (right minister).

Huang Qianshan said: "You said one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand? What if it's not one hundred thousand? Take a step back and say, even if there are only one hundred thousand, is that what we can deal with? Don't forget, the troops of the Jinren going south are only ten thousand. Wan, didn't you just break through Bianliang City and take away the Second Sage? Also, haven't you heard that the Bozhou Army, Huaixi Army, Jingjiang Army, Ningwu Army, Jing Navy, and Yanyan Army are all defeated at the first touch. "

Li Gangdao: "It was the puppet Chinese army that caught us by surprise. As long as we are united, we can definitely fight. More importantly, His Majesty has only just ascended the throne and has not yet gained a firm foothold. We should win the hearts of the people with a big victory. Conquer the morale of the army, and then raise the army to go north, recover the lost ground, and welcome back the Second Sage? Also, don’t forget that Li Yan, the puppet, was also on the day of enthronement, with a big victory to establish his prestige, this is the only way to have today’s great situation.”

Seeing that Zhao Gou listened to Li Gang's words, Geng Nanzhong seemed to have the intention of fighting, and said: "The Chinese army is spreading rumors in Yingtian Mansion. What is the purpose? Isn't it just to force the officials to fight with them? Do the officials want the Chinese army? count?"

Geng Nanzhong's words immediately awakened Zhao Gou, who was determined to fight, and made Li Gang a little speechless.

In fact, the reason why the Chinese army spread this news was to force the Song army to fight a decisive battle, and then solve the trouble of the Southern Song Dynasty once and for all.

but--

Although he has understood the purpose of the Chinese army, Zhao Gou is still a little unwilling to go south and give up the large area of ​​land north of the Yangtze River to Li Yan, especially after thinking about the ups and downs that have been spread recently, Zhao Gou is even more unwilling !

Therefore, Zhao Gou was silent for a while, and said, "Let's see how Zongze is fighting this battle, and then I will make the final decision."
