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

On this day, the sun has not yet risen.

People from the Ministry of Rites, Taishi Bureau, Si Tianjian and other yamen had already gathered outside Chaoyang Gate.

After exchanging pleasantries, we waited for Chuyang to be reborn.

About a quarter of an hour later, a fish-belly white color appeared in the east, and a moment later, a ray of sunlight broke through the sky, and the darkness disappeared.

Si Tianjian's officials quickly faced the east, squinted their eyes and observed for a moment, and then said loudly: "Dong Liang, Xi Xiang!"

The other yamen officials listened to the command and turned to the west. After bowing three times, they began to get busy.

Some people are measuring with feet, others are leveling the land.

After a lot of busy work, the people from the Taishi Bureau stepped into the flat land and announced loudly the seats for the consort: "The consort of Emperor Furou is highly favored, and he will be given the title of Qingze's noble consort, and he will be awarded the third rank."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites quickly wrote it down on yellow paper and sealed it.

After reporting to the officials for approval, the rank of the favored consort will be determined.

According to the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, the prince-in-law who was granted the title of third-rank official enjoyed the treatment of the third-rank civil servant. However, he could receive the salary, but he could not hold any actual duties. Not only could he not enter the court to discuss matters, but even his social activities were strictly restricted. The favorite target of Taiwan's remonstrators.

My relatives, life in the Song Dynasty was not easy.

If you are anyone else, you must think twice and think about whether your future will be missed because you married a princess.

But Gao Chong doesn’t!

First of all, he is not a civil servant, but a military commander.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the marriage between military generals and the royal family has never stopped. The daughters of military generals will marry princes, and some will even marry princes and become queens directly.

Daughters of royal family members would also marry military generals to strengthen the relationship between the royal family and the army.

Therefore, the emphasis on literature over military affairs in the Song Dynasty was not what later generations guessed from the literal meaning. They thought that all generals were Sun Tzu.

Not only are they not grandchildren, they are royal in-laws.

It's just that the court had more restrictions on the rights of generals, such as "fighting according to plans" invented by Zhao Er.

As for the treatment...

Ordinary generals are indeed lower in rank than ordinary civilian officials.

However, for a general like Gao Chong who can marry an emperor, his treatment is composed of two parts. One is the treatment as a general himself, and the other is a separate share according to the title of the consort or other royal in-laws.

Secondly, Gao Chong didn't care at all about entering the court to discuss matters.

He doesn't want to discuss matters at all. It's best not to bother him with anything big or small. If you need anything, he can just pick up the gun and do it.

As for the discussion: Don’t make a fuss if you can take action!

Thirdly, social interactions should be restricted to prevent relatives from colluding with court officials.

But this kind of thing can only be taken care of if someone goes to Zhazi.

Who should I give this letter to?

Official!

What the official's temperament is, and how he treats Gao Chong and Zhao Huanhuan, these officials are as clear as a mirror.

No one touches this bad luck.

Even if someone wants to make a sudden attack during the court meeting, Li Bangyan alone can kill the person who makes the attack, let alone an emerging force, Zhang Jun!

Therefore, Gao Chong's role as consort had no impact on him at all.

Wait till Chen time.

Emperor Daojun finally stepped out of Longde Palace.

The King Bi who was following him was even more sad, with tears in his eyes.

The escorting chamberlain coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, your highness, please pay attention to your manners."

King Bi glared at the chamberlain: "My sister is getting married tomorrow, and my brother is crying with joy. Why is he so ungraceful?"

The chamberlain was scolded, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything, and took the father and son into the car.

The car started from Longde Palace and drove all the way towards Chui Gong Palace.

Behind the Chui Gong Hall is the Long Live Hall.

Now it has been renamed Yanqing Hall.

It was the sleeping hall of Song Taizu at that time, and Song Taizu also died in this hall.

Therefore, in this hall, the tablet of Taizu is enshrined.

However, this hall was not the place where the royal family of the Song Dynasty worshiped their ancestors. The place of worship was in the Xijing Palace, Hongqing Hall.

The main hall of Hongqing Palace enshrines the tablets of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and the side hall enshrines the tablets of subsequent emperors of the Song Dynasty. It is a place where the royal family of the Song Dynasty pays homage to their ancestors. According to regulations, worship is required every year. If there is a royal marriage, the princess will For important events such as marriage, one must first visit Hongqing Palace.

It stands to reason that Emperor Daojun, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Huanhuan should go to the Xijing Palace and pay a visit to Hongqing Hall.

But Zhao Fujin felt that there were so many things to do that it was really hard to get around.

She would be a little worried if Emperor Daojun and Zhao Huanhuan were allowed to go.

Therefore, after seeking the consent of the Ministry of Rites and the Taishi Bureau, the ceremony of worshiping ancestors was performed in Yanqing Hall.

By the time Emperor Jun's car arrived, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Huanhuan had already arrived.

Zhao Fujin looked steady and dignified in court clothes.

Zhao Huanhuan is wearing a plain skirt, elegant and refined.

"Sister, you are getting married tomorrow. Tomorrow's wedding banquet is both a wedding banquet and a national ceremony. Diplomas from various countries will attend the ceremony. Don't be nervous and lose your composure." Zhao Fujin warned with a smile.

Zhao Huanhuan nodded and said with a sly smile: "Sister Huang, don't worry. Do you think I can be nervous?"

"Well, that's good." Zhao Fujin asked with a smile: "In the past few days, the female officers in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have taught you, right?"

"Teach? What to teach?" Zhao Huanhuan asked in confusion.

Zhao Fujin pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course I will teach you how to consummate the marriage on your wedding night."

Zhao Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red: "Oh, Sister Huang..."

Seeing the shy look on Zhao Huanhuan's face, Zhao Fujin laughed and said: "It seems that you have been taught. I also have some things to teach you." "Sister Huang, you'd better not teach me any more. You are not married yet. How can you know more than those female officials?"

"Ha... I know a lot more than them." Zhao Fujin thought to himself, who are he looking down on? I haven't seen anything in my last life, so why don't I know?

"Ahem, what I want to teach you is not about sex in bed. What I want to teach you is how to get along with husband and wife." Zhao Fujin sighed softly: "After you get married, you have to have your own preferences and do what you want to do, but Don't rely on others or become their vassal. This is called independence and self-reliance. This is one of them."

"Secondly, although the Song Dynasty did not limit reconciliation and divorce, you should not have this intention because of some trivial matters. If there is a quarrel between husband and wife, do not get angry or get emotional. You should discuss the matter and solve it together. But if there is a problem of principle, , especially if he dares to hit you, then you can't just hide and deal with it, this is called self-love and self-preservation."

"Hmph! How dare he!" Zhao Huanhuan said arrogantly.

Zhao Fujin patted Zhao Huanhuan on the shoulder and said with a gentle smile: "I can't make the decision for you when it comes to other couples' conflicts, but if he dares to hit you, he should come to me as soon as possible. Remember?"

"Yes! Remember it! Thank you, Sister Huang!"

"Third, Gao Chong has such a temperament... To put it mildly, he is called a pure and innocent child, but to put it poorly, he is called a fool. Now that we are married, we are a family. You have been smart since you were a child, so you should help him more to avoid being hurt by others. When calculating, of course, you have to pay attention to the method and don't let him think you are too strong. This is called talking well. "

"Okay, I will talk to him softly and softly."

"Fourth, marriage is a matter of affection and affection at the beginning, but becomes more and more indifferent as time goes by. It needs to be taken good care of. The most important thing is to think about what he thinks and worry about what he wants. Of course, he must do the same to you. This is called evenly matched.”

While he was talking, Emperor Daojun's car arrived.

Zhao Fujin stood still, while Zhao Huanhuan jumped up happily and greeted him: "Daddy!"

Emperor Daojun stepped out of the car, took Zhao Huanhuan's hand and sighed: "Hey, in the blink of an eye, my Huanhuan will get married tomorrow."

Zhao Huanhuan held the Emperor Daojun's arm lovingly: "It's not far. I can come back to see you at any time. If you think it's still a bit far, why don't you give me a house close to the imperial city? It’s closer this way.”

Emperor Daojun coughed violently!

The father and daughter walked towards Zhao Fujin while talking.

Zhao Fujin gave a slight salute to Emperor Daojun: "Dad, come into the palace to worship!"

As soon as they entered Yanqing Hall, the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

The royal family members were already waiting on both sides of the hall, their heads lowered and their eyebrows lowered.

Emperor Daojun was in front, followed by Zhao Fujin. Zhao Huanhuan ranked third because she was the person in charge of the ceremony, followed by the rest of the emperor's relatives.

The process of the sacrificial ceremony is not much different from that of folk ancestor worship. After burning a few sticks of incense and kowtowing, the Emperor Daojun said to the tablet that the ceremony was about a royal married daughter who appealed to the ancestors for protection. Afterwards, the ceremony officer recited some words of admonition to the temple, and the drummer played by the instructor.

It's over!

After leaving the Yanqing Palace, Zhao Huanhuan had to rush back to prepare for her wedding tomorrow. The king forced the princess Zhu Lian, whom he had not seen for several months, to return home impatiently.

Emperor Daojun originally planned to return to the palace, but Zhao Fujin called out to him: "Dad, if nothing happens, can you take a walk?"

How dare Emperor Daojun refuse, so the father and daughter abandoned the car and walked out of Yanqing Hall.

"Last time during the drinking ceremony at Longde Palace, my daughter actually had some questions she wanted to ask her father." Zhao Fujin said lightly.

Emperor Daojun said with a sneer: "Although we are not allowed to drink wine at the moment, if Fu Jin has anything to say, just ask, dad, I know everything."

Zhao Fujin nodded as he walked and said, "Let's talk about business first. How is the picture of the rooster that my daughter asked her father to draw?"

Emperor Daojun replied: "The painting is complete, but although the shape resembles a rooster,... the details are really strange."

The sample draft that Zhao Fujin gave to Emperor Daojun was not a painting at all, but a map that could be used as a map. Therefore, when Emperor Daojun copied the picture, it was naturally impossible to draw the details of the rooster, and he could only outline an outline.

"That's good. Have you colored it?"

"It has not been colored. I feel that such a... painting is really difficult to use as a national gift." Emperor Daojun said in a low voice: "If Fu Jin insists on using the painting as a gift, dad still has it hidden there. Many masterpieces.”

Zhao Fujin smiled and said: "No need, just finish the painting."

The father and daughter walked slowly along the willows of the imperial city and came to a pavilion. Zhao Fujin turned to the chamberlain and the Imperial Guard following behind him and said, "Just wait here."

After that, he pointed to the pavilion: "Dad, the weather is getting a bit hot now. Let's talk in the pavilion and ask someone to bring some ice drinks."

In the pavilion, in a shady place, after the father and daughter sat down, Zhao Fujin asked straight to the point: "Dad, have you ever thought about taking the Song Dynasty back, or... or handing it over to others?"

It was so explosive as soon as he opened his mouth that Emperor Daojun almost lost his breath.

"Why did Fu Jin ask like this? In the world of the Song Dynasty, although...even though you forced me to abdicate, in just a few years, you have solved the foreign troubles of the Song Dynasty. Now that the world is Changping, what reason does dad have to replace you?"

Emperor Daojun spoke sincerely and continued: "Hey, I may not believe it when I say that Fu Jin, I think it was not because my father wanted the world when he came to the throne. Zhe Zong died of illness and had no heirs to inherit the throne. He turned to the Queen Mother for his own power. , I cooperated with Zeng Buli and insisted on letting me succeed, so I have no choice."

"There is also that Zhang Dun who said that I was frivolous and could not rule the world. Although I hated this old man to death for daring to comment on me like this. But after being the king for many years, I wish he could have persisted and persevered with the Queen Mother and with the Queen Mother. If Zeng Bu fights again, the throne may not fall to me."

Emperor Taojun spoke with sorrow in his eyes: "I know, I can't be an emperor. Isn't it good to be an idle prince, painting and writing, playing Cuju and walking with birds? Fujin, do you know why dad suddenly started to practice Taoism?"

Zhao Fujin looked at Emperor Daojun with gentle eyes and smiled: "I know, I don't know either."

"Fu Jin, please tell me."

Zhao Fujin raised his eyes and looked outside the pavilion, thought for a moment and said, "What kind of person is daddy?"

Emperor Daojun was stunned, and Zhao Fujin asked and answered: "Dad is actually a good man, a talented and good man. Maybe when he was young, he grew up in a deep palace. Dad didn't even have a playmate. He was surrounded by palace maids and little yellow men. , maybe my father was quite lonely at that time? When people are lonely, they have to find something to do. I guess the way my father passed away his loneliness back then was to imitate my grandfather’s two younger brothers and delve into knowledge, calligraphy and painting, because of their talents. , to make them very popular in the palace, so dad also wants to be a person liked by many people, right?"

Emperor Daojun looked surprised.

"As for practicing Taoism, it's because of my father's two uncles. Zhao Hao likes Buddhism and medicine. He can prepare prescriptions by himself. He is also good at music and has been praised by his grandfather many times. And father's other uncle Zhao Kai , good at calligraphy and painting, were often praised by grandpa, so dad probably wanted to be like them and be recognized and praised by grandpa, so he imitated their elegance. And these nicknames have been with dad to this day, and calligraphy, painting, and music have been around before dad came to the throne. Appear and seek the truth..."

Zhao Fujin paused and looked at Emperor Daojun: "Dad, are you crying?"

Emperor Daojun turned his head and wiped away the dazzling eyes: "Fujin, you...how can you understand daddy so well."

Zhao Fujin took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Daojun. The emperor smiled and said, "Damn, I also know why dad didn't kill him when he knew the six thieves were messing up the government."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because Daddy thinks they can play with you, Daddy. People who are lonely when they are young will always be extra tolerant to people with similar interests around them when they grow up. As long as they can play with Daddy, do Dad just turned a blind eye to that little thing. This must be an unfortunate childhood that needs to be cured in a lifetime."

Emperor Daojun could no longer hold back his tears and burst into tears.

Zhao Fujin did not comfort him, but just patted his back gently: "When my daughter was a child, her father was very doting on her, and she remembers this love. What I said today, I hope my father understands that my daughter may know her father better than My father knows me well. I know that he is not in love with power, but only wants to be free. Then it will be easier for us, father and daughter, to get along. My daughter must lay a good foundation for the new Song Dynasty. Dad, you just want to be free. No matter who will use it in the future, Why would you use your father to fight against your daughter? I hope that your father will stand by your daughter, okay?"

Emperor Daojun sobbed and nodded fiercely: "Fujin, with your current reputation, who will go against you?"

Zhao Fujin's eyes turned cold: "Maybe... he will be a scholar-official from half of the Song Dynasty!" (End of this chapter)
