The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

On April [-], the first year of Jingkang, the navy of the capital returned to Jinmingchi.

Although the Qingzhou Army continued to stay in Qingzhou, Zhang Jun was allowed to return to Beijing to resume his duties.

Seeing Zhang Jun helping Gao Chong, who was seasick and about to collapse due to vomiting, to leave the Jinmingchi Naval Base, Cao Yanchang's smile faded and he turned around and spat: "Bah! I thought Zhang Jun was a tough man, but I didn't expect that. Come to think of it, there is no bottom line when it comes to licking General Gao."

The deputy general next to him suppressed his laughter and said nothing. The past few months were still vivid in his mind.

Gao Chong was seasick and unable to eat. Cao Yanchang personally cooked the rice porridge for Gao Chong, simmered it over a slow fire, and brought it into the warehouse himself, telling Gao Chong to drink it while it was hot to warm his stomach.

But in the blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Jun holding the porridge he had cooked, half sitting on the edge of Gao Chong's bed, feeding spoonfuls into his mouth, and wiping Gao Chong's mouth with his mother's handkerchief.

How could Cao Yanchang not be angry!
Not licking like that!
Just now, Cao Yanchang wanted to send Gao Chong back to Kaifeng City in person, but Zhang Jun persuaded him: "Cao Tongzhi has just returned to the court, and he must be busy with official matters. I can just do this for him. Anyway, I have to go to the palace." If you come back here, Cao Tongzhi won't have to go back and forth."

"Don't bother, don't bother." Cao Yanchang took Gao Chong's left arm.

"Hey, it's still hard work, hard work." Zhang Jun pulled Gao Chong's right arm.

The result was self-evident, Gao Chong sighed feebly: "Stop arguing, Zhang Tongzhi should follow me into the palace. We can't explain the things in the Jin Kingdom's court, but Zhang Tongzhi understands better."

Cao Yanchang reluctantly let go and watched the two people go away with tears.

The two of them traveled by car and returned to Kaifeng City from Jinmingchi in a short time. They entered the city through Nanxunmen, followed Zhuque Street north into the inner city, and then rushed along Imperial Street to the palace.

Zhang Jun had already entered the court as an official in the eighth year of Zhenghe's reign, so he was naturally more familiar with Kaifeng City than Gao Chong. Along the way, he told Gao Chong the changes in Kaifeng City in the manner of a native: "During the Zhenghe period, Kaifeng Commercial Affairs It is not as prosperous as it is now. After the Xuanhe Year, Kaifeng's business reached its peak. Now that the officials are in charge, it is even better than before."

Gao Chong only focused on adjusting his breath and turned a deaf ear.

Zhang Jun added: "Brother Gao, have you ever had a good time since you came to Kaifeng?"

Gao Chong closed his eyes and shook his head: "No, when I came to Kaifeng, I only focused on resisting gold and killing thieves."

Zhang Jun gave a thumbs up: "Brother Gao cares deeply about the people of the Song Dynasty. Thank you for your hard work. Now, under the wise leadership of the officials, the foreign troubles of the Jin Dynasty have been resolved, and the world is prosperous. When Brother Gao rests for a few days, I will take Brother Gao to have a good time." Take a walk around the city of Kaifeng and see the prosperous country under the rule of the officials."

Zhang Jun's few words not only flattered the high-ranking officials, but also praised the official family, and also made an appointment for further contact in the future. They were textbook-style officialdom speech.

"It's not me, Zhang Junchui. We are familiar with all the people and things in Kaifeng..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the driver suddenly stopped: "Hey..."

Zhang Jun thought to himself that he had just entered the inner city not long ago. It was impossible that he would be outside Xuande Gate right now. He would have to get off the car and walk into the palace: "What's the matter?"

"Zhang Tongzhi, there are guards blocking the road ahead." The horseman who drove the carriage replied.

"Blocking the road? Blocking the road on the Royal Street?" Zhang Jun muttered and said to Gao Chong with a smile: "You are weak, I will go down and take a look."

After saying that, Zhang Jun opened the car curtain and jumped out of the car. When he looked up, he saw that there were indeed some government officials blocking the road ahead. All large and small cars were stopped. Zhang Jun stepped forward and asked, "In the Royal Street?" What’s the point of setting up roadblocks?”

Several government officials glanced at Zhang Jun. Seeing that the man was wearing regular clothes, they ignored him and said, "There is an event in the shop in front. People can pass by, but cars can't."

It's too exaggerated to block the road on Royal Street when a shop is holding an event: "Huh, a merchant? Those who don't know may think it's a royal patrol."

A tall and thin yamen officer laughed and said: "Hey, I said you are a person who doesn't talk to others, but you talk a lot? This is the order of Sima Xianggong of Kaifeng Prefecture. If you are not satisfied, go to Kaifeng Prefecture to play drums!"

Zhang Jun still wanted to reason, but someone slapped him heavily on the shoulder. He turned around and saw that Gao Chong had gotten out of the car at some point: "It doesn't matter, it's still early now. Let's stroll into the palace. Sitting in the car, we also The shaking is uncomfortable.”

Seeing what Gao Chong said, Zhang Jun had no choice but to step forward to support Gao Chong, glared at the two government officials, and walked forward.

Not far away, I saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the Rouge Shop on Yujie.

Among the crowd, there was a young woman wearing a light yellow dress. Her figure looked slim and graceful. Logically speaking, her appearance would not be any worse. However, Zhang Jun pushed aside the crowd and took a closer look, and almost frightened himself. A thrill.

His face was painted with a layer of black and green stuff, and he was holding a jar in his hand. He grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. Compared with the stuff on his face, he looked unattractive and terrifying.

Zhang Jun turned to look at Gao Chong and found that Gao Chong also had a look of disgust: "Brother Gao, this is probably a businessman asking someone to put on a show. It's just to sell more goods. But who dares to buy this look? Are you right? .”

Gao Chong was noncommittal and was about to leave when he heard the woman say: "People can't be judged by their appearance, and the same goes for merchandise. Neighbors, please don't think this thing doesn't look good, but whoever uses it will know. Let your little face be white." It's red inside, so watery and lovely."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in the crowd asked with a smile: "This sticky black stuff is stuck on your face. It's fine if it doesn't make your face black. How can it be so white and red?"

The woman in yellow was not angry. Instead, she took two steps forward, pointed at her face and said: "Little lady, don't look at this sticky black thing. That's because it is rich in the essence of heaven and earth. Wait for you. Once your face absorbs this essence, it dries and hardens, and you only need to gently peel it off, and you’re done.”

"Then tell me, what essence of heaven and earth is contained in this?" someone else in the crowd asked.

The woman in yellow coughed twice and secretly glanced at the note in her hand: "Here and there... there are trehalose, glycerin, salicylic acid... salicylic acid, and propylene glycol... propylene glycol... …”

The woman was stammering, and the crowd was even more confused. What the hell is this?

"It's harmful. It's the essence of heaven and earth anyway. It's particularly good for the skin."

The woman in yellow kept talking for a long time, and more and more people gathered around her, but no one bought it. This made the woman in yellow very embarrassed, so she gritted her teeth, felt in her heart, and unleashed her ultimate move: "Why are you so ignorant of the goods? How could the diatom mud mask be given to you if the officials didn't want to enjoy it with the people? Let me tell you, the officials have agreed to use it. Are we big officials? The most beautiful woman in Song Dynasty, I don’t need to say more.”

The woman in yellow originally thought that once the ultimate move "officials agreed to use it" was thrown out, her trip would be in vain.

Unexpectedly, not only did no one buy it, but some people in the crowd immediately questioned: "How dare you, a woman, to say so, and even use the official family as a sign, you are bullying the emperor!"

To deceive the king does not only mean to deceive, but also to humiliate.

Using the official as a signboard is just a good thing, but will the official use this slimy and black thing?

Is this not bullying the emperor?
As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded instantly. Some people on the spot suggested that the woman in yellow should be taken down. However, the woman in yellow not only did not panic, but responded confidently: "I deceive you? You say I deceive you?" Jun? There are many good things for the official family, how much do you know?"

Seeing the arrogant attitude of the woman in yellow, Gao Chong couldn't stand it anymore.

Gao Chong was already unhappy about selling commercial goods under the banner of an official, but the woman actually got more and more excited with her talk. Gao Chong turned to Zhang Jun and asked, "Zhang Tongzhi, does this count as bullying the emperor?"

Zhang Jun scratched his head, frowned and thought: "Really...?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Chong pushed aside the crowd, strode up to the woman in yellow, took the jar from her hand and threw it aside, pinched her slender wrist: "Little girl, you are selling commercial goods. Yes, but under the banner of being an official, no!"

The woman in yellow was startled and looked up at Gao Chong: "Who are you? What does it have to do with you?"

Gao Chong sneered: "You will know who I am when I enter Kaifeng Mansion to interrogate my crime!"

"Kaifeng Mansion?" The woman in yellow grinned again: "Look at Sima Pu..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his wrist, and he bent down with a groan: "How dare you..."

"Oh, let go! Let go!" The woman in yellow was furious.

The onlookers clapped and applauded: "She is selling such shameless things under the guise of an official. She should be taught a lesson!" Zhang Jun saw the chaos in the scene and quickly announced his identity: "I am a member of the imperial court. Officials, this woman is bullying the emperor in the street, the court will definitely punish her severely, let’s go, let’s go!”

After appeasing him for a while, seeing that the people watching the show still refused to leave, Zhang Jun shouted to the Kaifeng government officials who were maintaining order not far away: "Hey, official, there's trouble here!"

Zhang Jun originally wanted to call the government officials to come and take the woman away. As for whether she was deceiving the emperor, Sima Pu had to decide for himself. He didn't want to delay his entry into the palace to see the official's important event because of this trivial matter.

But the government officials didn't know what was going on. Seeing the chaos in the crowd and someone calling out to them, they trotted over and saw Gao Chong holding the hand of the woman in yellow and refusing to let go. The woman in yellow started beating and biting her. , the struggle was extremely fierce, and these government servants discussed in a low voice: "Don't let the incident of beating people in the street a few days ago happen again."

Several people were about to step forward to stop them, but someone in the chaotic crowd pulled the yamen officer. The yamen officer turned his head and saw that the man half-hidden took out a waistband, which was the waistband of the Imperial City Division.

The yamen servant was about to speak when he saw the man making a silent gesture and whispering into the yamen servant's ear. Although he didn't know what he said, looking at the surprised expression on the yamen servant's face, he knew that this was not the case. Small.

After saying that, the officer waved his hand: "It's all gone!"

Having said that, Zhang Jun thought that these government officials were going to take the woman in yellow away so that he and Gao Chong could quickly enter the palace. However, he did not expect that these government officials would disperse the crowd and run away without looking back. .

Seeing this, Zhang Jun and Gao Chong looked at each other: "How about we let him go first? We are still in a hurry to enter the palace."

Gao Chong sneered: "Let him go? How can he let him go if he insults an official?"

"Then..." Zhang Jun didn't know what to do for a moment.

"I'm going to the palace anyway, take her with me and hand her over to the officials!" Gao Chong raised his head and looked at the woman in yellow, as if to scare her.

Although Zhang Jun felt that this was not in line with the etiquette, it was such a big deal, and how could he escort people into the palace casually, but then he thought: "Since Brother Gao can call the official family Jinma, then these etiquettes are not important. It just happens." , let’s see if Brother Gao has any face in front of the official family.”

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun decided not to persuade him: "Okay, let's take him away!"

Gao Chong grabbed the woman in yellow and said, "I'm just asking you, are you afraid? Now apologize to me, and I will consider giving you a lighter punishment?"

The woman in yellow snorted: "Afraid! I'm scared to death!"

Gao Chong took a look and saw that this guy was still unwilling to give up until he saw the Yellow River: "Okay! Then I will grant you my wish!"

……

……

There is no one in the imperial study room.

Gao Chong held the woman in yellow with one hand, turned to Zhang Jun and said, "There's no one in the imperial study, so it must be at Akihito Palace. Let's go."

Zhang Jun, a man who had never even been to the royal study, was asked to go to the official palace. How dare he? So he waved his hands repeatedly: "Just stay here, I don't dare to go to the official palace."

Gao Chong patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder: "Follow me, you're scared, let's go!"

When they arrived at Akihito Palace, the palace staff greeted Gao Chong enthusiastically and said, "General Gao, you are back. The officials have been talking about you these past two days."

Seeing this, Zhang Jun murmured in his heart: "Brother Gao is really favored."

The palace man looked at the woman Gao Chong was holding curiously, feeling that she looked familiar, but he was too embarrassed to ask more questions, so he turned to look at Zhang Jun: "Who is this?"

Gao Chong introduced: "This is Zhang Jun, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, who has been ordered to return the imperial order to Jin's mother."

The palace man bowed slightly and said, "Those guys are coming with me. The officials are talking to Li Xiangguo in the front hall."

"Li Gang or Li Bangyan?" Gao Chong followed behind and asked as he walked.

The palace man smiled and said: "Of course it is Mr. Li Bangyan."

As soon as he entered the front hall, Zhang Jun immediately straightened up, lowering his head and only daring to look at the ground. Gao Chong, however, seemed more casual. He arrived before anyone arrived: "Mother Jin, I'm back!"

When he saw Zhao Fujin, Gao Chong was stunned and stopped.

Zhang Jun, who was following Gao Chong, did not dare to look directly, and also stopped, thinking that Gao Chong was going to give a big gift to the official family.

However, after waiting for a long time, no sound was heard, and no movement was seen from Gao Chong. The air in the entire hall seemed to be stagnant.

Suddenly, a miserable female voice spoke: "Sister Huang, he bullied me!"

After saying that, the woman in yellow shook off Gao Chong's hand and threw herself beside Zhao Fujin: "Sister Huang, you asked me to help Chen Dong sell facial masks, but this person... This person said that I bullied him. Jun, hit me again!"

Zhao Fujin patted the shoulder of the woman in yellow to comfort her: "Huan Huan, don't cry, don't cry, tell me, who hit you?"

Zhao Huanhuan raised her arm and pointed at Gao Chong: "It's him!"

Then he seemed to feel annoyed, and pointed at Zhang Jun who was looking down at the ground: "No, there is him, they all beat me!"

Zhang Jun's legs trembled, thinking that he had been cautious for half his life, and finally got to see Tianyan. His future official life was going to be bright, but he couldn't let it go.

thump!
Zhang Jun bent his knees and knelt down, kowtowing several times in a row, while thinking: "Should I pass the blame to Brother Gao? Should I pass the blame to Brother Gao?"

When he finally made up his mind to shirk the blame, he raised his head suddenly and was about to speak when he saw two women, each with a black face, looking straight at him: "Huh? It is indeed a royal possession of the official family! This is You are doomed!"

"It's bad, is it Zhao Huanhuan, the concubine of the Roufu Emperor? Then you just said it directly, you... you... the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, they are all your own family." Gao Chong smiled awkwardly with an apologetic look on his face. road.

"Who is your family member?" Zhao Huanhuan suddenly stood up from Zhao Fujin, pointed at Gao Chong and scolded: "Don't you understand the law? Then let me ask you, what is the crime for being rude to Emperor Ji in the street? ?”

Gao Chong looked at Zhao Fujin awkwardly. Seeing that Zhao Fujin didn't speak, he turned to look at Li Bangyan and blinked hard, hoping that he would say something nice for him.

Who is Li Bangyan? None of the officials expressed their opinions. How could he overstep his authority? So he turned away and pretended not to see it.

Then he looked down at Zhang Jun, who had lost his mind for a long time. Gao Chong was speechless and had to spread his hands: "How about you? Beat me up?"

Zhao Huanhuan pulled off the dried facial mask and said, "Beat him? If he is guilty of beheading, he will be fine after just one beating?"

Seeing the true appearance of Emperor Ji, Gao Chong was instantly dazzled by the dazzling look on his face. The sultry eyebrows, the angry cheeks, the peerless face that looked like Zhao Fujin... Gao Chong was stunned on the spot.

Seeing Gao Chong staring at her like this, Zhao Huanhuan said angrily: "Bah! You are a disciple! Princess, you have to make the decision for me!"

Zhao Fujin also took off the mask on his face and chuckled: "Huan Huan, shall I chop him down?"

"Cut! Cut it now!" Zhao Huanhuan puffed out her cheeks and glared at Gao Chong and Zhang Jun angrily: "Cut them both!"

Zhao Fujin nodded: "Here comes..."

Gao Chong was still stunned, but Zhang Jun was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground: "Is it really a chop?" (End of Chapter)
