Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 153 Empress Xing

Jin Wushu took off half of his clothes, and seeing Qin Hui still standing there respectfully, he was suddenly very bored, and then thought it was very funny, threw a piece of clothes in front of him, and laughed loudly: "The prince is not in the mood today. , Mrs. Wang, please serve your husband well..."

Wang Junhua was already burning with lust at this time, wishing to commit adultery on the spot, how could he bear it, and held him back softly: "Fourth Prince..."

With all his strength, Jin Wushu pushed her into Qin Hui's arms: "Let Qin Zhuangyuan have fun..."

Hahaha smiled, turned around and left without looking at the two of them.As I walked, I thought, the southerners are so shameless, no wonder the country will perish, but I feel happy in my heart, I really found the right person for this long chess move I want to play.

The stadium after the Shooting Willow Festival has experienced a batting match, and it has become deserted, and visitors from all over the country have gradually dispersed.

A group of people came down from the court in tight red embroidered clothes. They were none other than Zong Han, Zong Wang, Zong Jun, Zong Xian, Jin Wushu, Gu Shen and other men from the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin.

Zong Han said loudly: "I just had fun today, everyone can feast to their heart's content."

Then, everyone followed into a huge tent, which belonged to Zong Han. He didn't like the stone house in the original Yanjing, and always liked to live in a tent with him and shoot at any time.

At this time, there were eight cases displayed in the tent, Zong Han was the host, and the Nanzheng Marshal was invited to a banquet. This was also the largest high-level military meeting this year.

After the death of the old wolf lord, the forces of the Kingdom of Jin were divided into two factions, one led by Zong Han and Gu Shen.Although Zong Han is the first prince of Jurchen, he is not the son of the old wolf lord, but the son of the old wolf lord's cousin.At that time, his father and the old wolf lord raised troops together to unify the Jurchen ministries, and in order to expand, he gave up the throne to the old wolf lord.

After the old wolf master succeeded to the throne, he attached great importance to Zong Han and others.He originally thought that after the death of the old wolf lord, he would have a chance to succeed him, but he didn't expect that the old wolf lord passed on the throne to his own brother, not his cousin.

The other faction is the son of the old wolf lord headed by Zongwang.But the most intense struggle is Jin Wushu, while Zong Wang is relatively peaceful and always plays the role of mediator. Therefore, Zong Han will also look at him to some extent.

Zong Han's banquet was completely in accordance with Jurchen customs, and various Jurchen delicacies were displayed on the table, among which, there was a large plate of pork on each table.The Jurchen nobles have always been addicted to this kind of fatty pork, wrapped in green onion rolls, and everyone ate and drank for a while, before Zong Han put down the wine bottle and said loudly: "This banquet is to discuss the attitude towards Song and the question of whether Song prisoners will stay or not. , what do you think?"

Zong Wang spoke first: "Now that Zhao Deji has ascended the throne, it's not that important whether the Song captives go or stay, and staying in the Kingdom of Jin is not an option. It's better to release some of them in batches first..."

Zongwang doted on Princess Maode, and she cried and begged on the pillow every night, so he promised her to find a chance to let her father and brother go back to the south.

"That's not too busy. Zhao Deji has gained a firm foothold now. If we attack again, we will pay a very high price. We might as well negotiate a peace first. With the two rivers as the boundary, let the Song Kingdom pay more silk and old coins. Only in this way can we guarantee our Daikin is rich and prosperous..."

Hearing this, Gu Shen shook his head vigorously: "No, Duke Hunde cannot be let go. The war against Song Dynasty must also be carried out..."

Zong Wang was very displeased, so he said: "Since the two sides cannot settle the dispute, it is better to ask the Lord Wolf to make a decision..."

Zong Han disapproved and said loudly: "No need! I can negotiate with my family. When the army was raised, my father gave up the throne to the old wolf lord. After more than ten years of fighting, he won the Liao and Song Dynasties. I also have most of the credit for the peace of the Song Dynasty. War, I can advocate on my own, without the decision of the wolf lord."

At this time, it was still the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, and the past ten years had been busy with wars. The domestic etiquette culture was still blank and in a primitive stage. The boundaries between the Jurchen nobles and the royal family were not so strict. The leader of one faction claimed that when he mentioned the past when his father gave up the throne to the old wolf lord, he was secretly fighting against the current wolf lord.

Zongwang was angry when he saw that he despised the wolf lord so much, but they were not as good as the Han people, and they couldn't speak a set of principles for the monarch and ministers, so they had no choice but to give up.

Seeing that Zongwang was slightly angry, Jin Wushu laughed and stood up: "I have something to say. I have always been in favor of destroying Song Dynasty, and the war against Song Dynasty must not stop..."

Although Zong Han has always disliked his polite and sour appearance, Jin Wushu's point of view that has always been the main battle is very close to his heart, so he is still patient: "Wushu, what do you think?"

"To attack the Song Dynasty, it is best to pay attention to strategy and how to seek the greatest benefits for Dajin. We should play a game of chess, set up a game, and take a longer view. The second brother is right. Now that Zhao Deji has ascended the throne, keep Song captives are actually not very useful. You might as well put some captives back..."

"Which ones do you put back?"

"Mr. Hunde and all the women who have not betrothed to the Jinren can go back. You only need to leave Marquis Chonghun. According to the etiquette of the southerners, you come here yourself. Brothers don't fight with brothers. If Zhao Deji dares to be obedient, we can always Support Chonghun Hou as a puppet to ascend the throne, so as to fight against him in the north..."

Zong Han nodded: "It makes sense."

Zong Wang also deeply believed that he couldn't bear Princess Maode's pleading every night. Now that her father can return to the south, it doesn't matter whether her elder brother can go back or not, and it can be regarded as an explanation to her.

He turned to Wushu: "Fourth brother, you said you are going to play a game of chess, how to play this game?"

"We must send a trustworthy Han official to coordinate with the two sides, and everything will be done according to the will of Jin Guo."

"But where can I find such a reliable person?"

"I have one ready."

"Who?"

"Qin Hui, former number one scholar of the Song Dynasty."

The door of the shop.

Zhahe walked back and forth nervously, carrying a heavy bag of silver in his arms.

After a while, he saw a short man approaching the door. He recognized those eyes—no matter how he disguised them, those eyes would remain the same.

He greeted him happily: "Little brother..."

Hua Rong hurriedly said: "How? Can you redeem Queen Xing?"

"Yes. They told me to go right away. I came to ask you, what should you do after you redeem it?"

Naturally, Hua Rong didn't really want Empress Xing to marry him, but just wanted a chance to escape, seeing him ask, immediately said: "After you redeem her, take her to a room in the north of the city, I will wait there you."

She said the address, and Zhahe happily agreed: "You wait, I will bring her to see you in the evening."

Sunset West Mountain.

This is a secluded hut in the north of Yanjing City, which Zhang Xian and others have found long ago.According to Hua Rong's plan, let Empress Xing live here temporarily, commensurate with Zhahe and his wife, and then find an opportunity to escape.

She was afraid that Empress Xing would be embarrassed, so she sent Zhang Xian and others away early, and she waited alone.

When the evening wind blew, she heard a whistle, which was the kind of pornographic ditty Zhahe played that men in the military camp liked.She poked her head out, and sure enough, she saw Zhahe walking towards this side with a woman.

It was Empress Xing who was approaching. At this time, she was wearing a Jurchen girl's rough linen clothes. She was so thin that only a piece of skin and bones remained. Her eyes were revealing and she was expressionless. She looked at Zhahe and then at the room. When he looked at the woman in front of him again, he showed a slightly surprised expression.

Seeing that Hua Rong had restored her woman's clothes, Zha He was very happy, and rubbed his hands: "Little brother, I brought you back..."

"Thank you, Zhahe, you go out first, I'll have a few words with Queen Xing."

"Okay. I'll go find something to eat and come back, little brother, what do you want to eat?"

"Anything will do."

As soon as Zha He left, Hua Rong pulled Empress Xing in, closed the doors and windows, and saluted: "Hua Rong has seen the empress..."

Empress Xing had met Hua Rong before, but now she recognized her, she felt as if she had passed away, but there was not much surprise in her eyes, it was very numb: "Girl, please don't call me that..."

Empress Xing has been humiliated in the laundry yard. Although she also guessed that her husband had ascended the throne, she didn't know that he had already registered herself as the "Queen".

Hua Rong saw her haggard appearance, like a walking corpse, much more serious than the Empress Dowager Wei, she was very sad, and said slowly: "Hua Rong is following the order of the official family to rescue the empress, the official family never forgets the empress every day, After ascending the throne, confer the concubine empress..."

In fact, Zhao Deji's main purpose of this trip was to save his mother, and he didn't mention Empress Xing at all. To comfort her, Hua Rong mentioned her will to survive, and said so on purpose.

Sure enough, Empress Xing's gloomy eyes lit up with a gleam, and she spoke dryly, "Really? Is it true that the officials have always cared about their concubines?"

"It's absolutely true! He misses his mother, and would rather let his position be vacant than any other woman..."

Empress Xing said "Oh": "Then you?"

Hua Rong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, Hua Rong has long been married to Yue Pengju, Xuanfu envoy of the Great Song Dynasty. Thanks to the trust of the officials, he went to the Kingdom of Jin to serve the officials, but I hope that you can save your mother and return to the south..."

Only now did a deep smile appear on Empress Xing's gloomy face. With such a smile, her skinny face, sunken eye sockets, and wrinkled skin were all wrinkled together. skeleton.

This laugh was more painful than crying, Hua Rong couldn't bear to watch it, and felt his eyes dry, so he just supported her: "Mother, I'll get you something to eat and drink..."

Hua Rong poured a cup of tuan tea, although crude, it was already the best thing she could find.

Empress Xing held the steaming tea, took a sip, and finally tasted the taste of her homeland. It was no longer the smelly mare's milk of the golden man. Tears rolled down from her dry eyes, and she said in a daze, "It's just that I don't know me Mother-in-law, the Queen Mother, she..."

Hua Rong reluctantly said: "The Empress Dowager is still safe and well, the empress does not need to worry about it."

"Where is the Queen Mother?"

Hua Rong had no choice but to tell the truth: "The queen mother married a man from Jin Kingdom, and now she is pregnant with Liujia..."

Empress Xing didn't seem to be surprised at all, but another tear rolled into the teacup, she slowly took a hairpin from her head, and handed it to Hua Rong: "Mrs. Kaifeng didn't listen to your advice and didn't leave in time. Now, it's useless to regret..."

She kept silent, Hua Rong explained: "Your Majesty, please relax..."

She smiled miserably: "The slave is in the laundry yard, has suffered all kinds of humiliation, is sick all over, and with a broken body, how dare he receive the honor of the queen? The official husband and wife love each other deeply, but the slave is not blessed to lose weight. Mrs. Yue, he will return soon. You can hand over this hairpin to the official family. The only wish of this slave is that he will work hard to govern and rejuvenate the Song Dynasty. One day, he can lead the army of the Song Dynasty to destroy the captives and avenge me..."
