Zhurou

Chapter 2
Zhao Mingzhi recognized at a glance that it was the handwriting of the Supreme Emperor. He lowered his head and read it again, but it was written for the present emperor Zhao Hong.

The superiors first talked about how hard they were in the hands of Beidi, and then asked the new emperor to try their best to raise 100 million taels of gold, 50 taels of silver, [-] horses, and [-] women and [-] young girls to send to the north in exchange for Yidi's satisfaction. Then send envoys to discuss the matter of returning him to the court.

Even though he had already experienced it once in his previous life, seeing this handwriting again now, Zhao Mingzhi's blood still surged in his chest, and he almost trembled with hatred.

She stood by the chair and turned her head to look around, only now did she realize that there was an official in green robe kneeling at the foot of the steps.

The man was knocking his head on the ground, trembling like chaff, but there was no sound at all.

Even if nearly half of the courtiers were taken away, if it were not special, it would be impossible for such a green-robed official to enter the Chuigong Palace to discuss matters.

Zhao Mingzhi ignored him, but directly asked the woman who had already retreated a long way: "Your Majesty, who is kneeling down on the steps, why is Your Majesty frightened?"

The woman shuddered and murmured, but her voice was like a gnat, making it hard to hear.

Zhao Mingzhi simply turned to Huangmen who was standing beside him.

The attendant of the yellow gate stood up immediately, and knelt on the ground as well, pointing to the person on his right hand, and said: "Report to the third princess, this person's name is Zhang Li, he used to be the coordinator of the Taichang Temple in the capital, but he was taken away by the northerners during the city change. My family escaped and came back, brought the Supreme Emperor's handwriting, and said..."

When he said this, he stopped talking and knelt on the ground, his face full of hesitation.

Zhao Mingzhi turned around and asked the green-robed official on the ground in a cold voice, "Zhang Xielu, what did you just say?"

Her voice seemed to be soaked in ice and snow, which made people feel chills.

Zhang Li raised his head, his face was bruised and purple, tears were streaming down his face, and he was pitifully thin. At this moment, he took a few steps forward on his knees, as if he was crying louder than the emperor Zhao Hong, and cursed loudly: "Your Majesty, please raise money as soon as possible." Gold and silver, Your Majesty... The Taishang Emperor suffered a lot in Xiazhou, Westerners are beasts, what they do is really inhuman!"

He cried again: "Your Majesty is the empress of the Supreme Emperor. How can the children turn a blind eye to the suffering of their fathers! The sinful minister heard the news, as long as I raise all the gold, silver, money, goods, troops and horses, and then ask your majesty to go to Xiazhou to plead guilty, the Western emperor will agree to it." Return it to the ministers of the Supreme Emperor's clan..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Hongfu, who was already in a slightly stable mood, trembled again, thought of something, cried loudly, and shouted: "Sister!"

Zhao Mingzhi knew that his younger brother suffered a lot of bullying during the two times when he was kidnapped by thieves. He was so young that he was already terrified.

But at this moment, she has no time to take care of her younger brother, but turned to the dozen or so noble ministers standing below the steps, and asked in a cold voice: "Zhang Xielu brought the Supreme Emperor's handwritten letter, and asked His Majesty to go north to plead guilty, all the officials? Have nothing to say?"

The room was suddenly so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help sneering.

Naturally, no one will take the initiative to speak up.

Their family was originally an offshoot of the Taizu's lineage that no one cares about. The younger brother Zhao Hongnian was only eight years old. He was kidnapped by the Supreme Emperor and all the royal relatives. .

The Supreme Emperor has been in power for more than twenty years. Although he is extravagant, extravagant, fatuous and immoral, as long as his surname is Zhao and he is still in the blood of Emperor Taizong, he will be Zhao Hong's legitimate "father".

At this moment, Zhang Li was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and he sent the Supreme Emperor's blood letter. If Zhao Hong ignored it, and the country ruled the world with filial piety, how would it serve the people in the future?

However, it is such a shame and humiliation to search the property and people in the domain as an apology, and let the emperor go north to plead guilty, even if some people below are willing to do so, they dare not be the first to stand up and agree.

Zhao Mingzhi sighed in his heart.

The Taishang Emperor indulged in sensuality, appointed traitors, and the Jin Dynasty was already dying. The northerners went south like a bamboo, and captured a large area of ​​the city almost effortlessly, and most of the city officials surrendered without hesitation.

If it is said that when the surrender form was attached twice before, there were still many officials in the court who either remonstrated or resigned angrily, and now there are not many hard bones left in this improvised small imperial court who fled to the south. It's still just a matter of saving face.

But it won't be long before they will only care about preserving their own wealth and life, and throw away their faces.

Seeing Zhao Hong crying in her arms, his lips darkened and his face pale, Zhao Mingzhi was very worried, she had no intention of entanglement with the crowd, and waved her servant to summon the medical officer, and took her younger brother to the side hall.

***
Behind the stone screen, Zhao Mingzhi watched Zhao Hong take the medicine and fell asleep, and after confirming that his breathing had recovered, he let out a long sigh of relief.

She stepped out of the screen, only to see the woman who was sitting with Zhao Hong just a few steps away.

The other party was rubbing the crumpled handkerchief in his hand, his face was full of apprehension, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Third Princess, Your Majesty..."

This woman is the concubine of the Empress Dowager Li, because she was not favored very much, she was assigned to live in a remote palace, and when the city was broken, she hid in a dry well with her maid, and escaped by luck.

Seeing Concubine Li waiting outside, Zhao Mingzhi frowned.

She didn't think much about it before, but now she sensed something was wrong.

Among the concubines of the Supreme Emperor, Taifei Li was the only one left to go south. She had been taking care of Zhao Hong in the last life. In Zhao Mingzhi's impression, this person was always diligent and careful, and he was even more considerate to Zhao Hong.

There are many ups and downs on the southbound road. There are hundreds of people in the palace who follow the emperor, but there are very few people who can manage affairs. Daughter, you should be able to take good care of your brother.

But just now when she entered the Chui Gong Palace, Zhao Hong was crying in the palace to the point of hurting his body, but this Concubine Li only knew to hide aside, not to mention coaxing, and she didn't even call the imperial physician.

When Zhao Mingzhi carried his younger brother out, no matter whether he decocted medicine or scrubbed him to coax him, he just stood outside without any movement or words.

She couldn't help remembering an old event.

At that time, Zhao Hong had already gone south to Yingzhou, and Zhao Hong suffered from night dreams, and he could hardly sleep for a day. Concubine Li took the maid with her to build a small bed next door, claiming that it would be convenient for her to take care of the emperor.

But no matter how meticulous Concubine Li was, the emperor's sleep still did not improve at all.

At that time, Zhao Mingzhi only thought that his younger brother was born weak and was frightened, so he specially sent people out to visit famous doctors.

However, after the doctors prescribed medicine for Zhao Hong's pulse diagnosis, it often had no effect.

Only one time, the doctor asked a question about what to do after waking up at night. Concubine Li stood aside, but she didn't say a word, and finally called the maid in to answer.

Do you really do everything yourself?
