~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the day when the "Sheep-Leading Ceremony" in Tokyo ended, Kang Wang Zhaogou, the envoy of the Xingyuan Dynasty, vomited blood and was bedridden. Concubine Wei and Concubine Xing, who had been freed, served in front of the bed day and night, washing their faces with tears. After five years of separation, mother and son

The couple reunited and were supposed to share a family relationship, but they never imagined that it would end up like this. How could the two concubines not be devastated?

Before Zhao Gou's mission, he suddenly suffered from an "old illness" and vomited blood and was bedridden. This caused quite a stir in the Xingyuan Dynasty, and Di Lie was certainly aware of it. When an envoy from a country suddenly suffers from an illness within his own sphere of influence, he must of course ask for help.

It attracted great attention. Di Lie immediately sent a medical attendant for diagnosis and treatment, and the diagnosis result was: "serious illness has not been cured, saddle and horse fatigue, mental stimulation, five internal imbalances, recurrence of old wounds, and severe damage to the root."

Seeing such a diagnosis, Di Lie shook his head and laughed - if we say that before Zhao Gou went on his mission, the symptoms that were prominent and similar to food poisoning were declared by the imperial doctors of the Xingyuan Dynasty to be so-called "old diseases".

To cover up Zhao Xu's conspiracy, this time the "relapse of old wounds" is real.

Zhao Gou's physical fitness is indeed very good. In the first year of Jingkang, when he was sent as an envoy to Jinying as a hostage, he impressed the Jin people with his riding and shooting skills, and even won the opportunity to exchange hostages and escape. In another case,

In the history of time and space, Zhao Gou lived to the age of more than eighty years, which is rare among emperors in the past. He is truly a model of "a thief who is old but does not die".

But in this time and space, Zhao Gou was seriously injured - no matter how good his physical fitness was. After suffering severe food poisoning and narrowly surviving, he immediately embarked on a long journey in just three days.

, this is simply gambling with life and consuming his lifespan. But Zhao Jiu can't help it! They were all forced by Zhao Qi...

Zhao Gou was ill, and the affairs of Taishang Long's funeral were mostly left to Qin Hui, the deputy envoy. As for where Long's funeral should be buried, Zhao Zhen once visited the nine brothers on behalf of Tianshu and the late Song prince. He suggested that the ancestral system should be followed and the funeral should be carried out.

My father was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum of Gong County.

Zhao Ting's proposal is quite in line with regulations. Gong County is located between Zhengzhou and Luoyang, facing Songshan Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. Luoshui River meanders from west to east. This place has been regarded as "high mountains and high waters" since ancient times.

an auspicious place. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were a total of

Nine emperors. Except for the two unlucky ones Huizong and Qinzong, the other seven emperors are buried here. Together with the tomb of Zhao Hongyin, the father of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Gongxian Imperial Mausoleum is known as one of the "Seven Emperors and Eight Mausoleums"

It is reasonable and reasonable to bury the emperor in the ancestral mausoleum.

However, Zhao Gou firmly objected and pushed away the bowl of soup and medicine handed by Concubine Xing. He said in an angry tone: "Twenty-third brother, open your eyes and see, who owns the world in Gyeonggi and Henan now? Jiang Tai

Wouldn't it be a big scandal to the world if the dragon on the throne was buried in the ancestral mausoleum of another country? If it were not too difficult to implement, I even want to take out the mausoleums of all previous emperors and move them to the south of the Yangtze River..."

Zhao Gou spoke in a hurry. He couldn't catch a breath and coughed again. Concubine Xing hurriedly touched his back with her hands and handed over the silk scarf. Zhao Gou covered his mouth with the silk scarf, and his cough became more violent, and his eyes showed

A hint of pain and anger.

Concubine Xing looked at her husband with distressed eyes, then turned to her brother-in-law, and said with a slight hint of anger: "Twenty-third brother, your ninth brother is not in good health yet, so you should not be stimulated. You should go back first..."

Zhao Zhen was about to say something else, but suddenly he saw the silk scarf covering Brother Ninth's mouth hanging down, and in the center, a large piece of shockingly bright red...

What else could Zhao Ting say? He could only join Jiuwang's wife in tears.

After receiving Zhao Zhen's report and learning about Zhao Gou's condition, Di Lie was also very surprised: "Is your ninth brother really so ill?"

Zhao Zhi shed tears and said: "Yes. He is in shape and bones. He coughs after three sentences, and there is blood in the sputum. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Such a bastard will die as soon as he dies. Just think of it as an attempt to avenge Zhu Wanting and the thirty female soldiers who had nothing to do with the bloodshed! Di Lie sneered in his heart. It's just that there is no place for you to die, but you want to die in Tianshu's sphere of influence.

Internally, this may have a bad impact on Tianshu’s diplomatic image.

Di Lie tapped his fingers on the table and muttered: "The envoys of the Song Dynasty are here at invitation. It would be inappropriate if we die here... You are the brother of King Kang. What do you think?"

Zhao Zhi said honestly: "I only hope that Brother Ninth can recover as soon as possible. Brother Ninth once said that he hopes to be able to accompany your father Zi's coffin for the last time in Qingcheng Zhai Palace."

Di Lie thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, let him go."

"That Concubine Wei and the Queen's Wife..."

Di Lie waved his hand: "Everyone go."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhao Gou moved from the Chinese Embassy to Qingcheng Zhai Palace, five miles south of Kaifeng. This was one of the royal palaces of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Jin army that besieged Tokyo and the Tianzhu army that later besieged Tokyo were all stationed here. Now the world consists of

Chaos is brought under control, of course

The army can no longer be stationed in such a place. The Zhai Palace has resumed its original functions. The dragon funeral coffin of the Supreme Being is now parked here. It is guarded by special personnel. Every day, there are old officials and scholars from the Song Dynasty.

The people went to worship.

Di Lie is not too concerned about this. People have a nostalgia for the past, and people also have simple sentiments, so just say goodbye, as long as they don't forget to look forward.

The Kingdom of Jin was destroyed, the Central Plains was in ruins, and envoys from surrounding countries were constantly striving for their country's interests among the new forces. Di Lie was busy with everything, and his trip back to Chang'an was delayed again and again. The incident with Zhao Gou had long been forgotten.

Until the night of April 26, Di Lie was working on papers in the Chui Gong Hall of the Imperial Palace. The palace guard reported that Deng Zhao, the head of the Tokyo Intelligence Group, had an urgent report and asked to see him.

Di Lie signaled to summon him, and then he saw Deng Zhao hurried in, bowing and saluting, with a panicked expression on his face: "Your Highness, that Kang Wang Zhao Gou, he..."

Zhao Gou?! The image of a terminally ill tuberculosis ghost flashed in Di Lie's mind. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is he dead?"

When Deng Zhao heard this, his expression was very strange, and he smiled bitterly and said: "It would be better if I died... This Zhao Gou ran away!"

These days, there are not many things that can surprise Di Lie, but this unexpected news finally surprised him - ran away? Is it necessary? I neither planned to kill him nor imprison him! On the contrary

, I'm still afraid that if he dies here, it will affect my Tianshu's diplomatic image! He's a fool!

Di Lie seemed to remember something and kept asking: "Zhao Gou ran away, where is the emperor's dragon funeral coffin? Where is his mother, concubine, wife and children? Where is Qin Hui?"

Deng Zhao's expression was also full of confusion: "That's the strange thing. Everyone is here, including the coffin. The envoy Qin Hui sits in front of him all day long, receiving worshipers, and visiting old friends from the DPRK and China. Hun

If nothing happens, the main mission of King Kang’s envoy is to return Taishang Long’s funeral, and also to return his mother and wife! But now he is escaping alone, what’s the point?”

Di Lie frowned and stared at a certain point in the sky. He was lost in thought for a while, and gradually realized something. A smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This is because his mother, wife, including Qin Hui, are covering for him... How did you discover that Zhao

Who is missing?"

Deng Zhaoran said: "It was a spy who had been inserted into the Qingcheng Palace by the intelligence team earlier. He found that Concubine Xing poured out the dregs of the medicine first - this is normal, but at night she also poured out the medicine. Suspicious, she sneaked in

Investigation at Zhao Gou's residence...only to discover that this person had already escaped."

"What a trick, what a scheming move!" Di Lie slapped the table and laughed, "Zhao Jiu really has the potential to be an emperor, and he did a good job of playing a cruel trick."

As the chief of intelligence, he was tricked right under his nose. Deng Zhao was indignant and said: "Your Highness, if we rush 400 miles and notify Tianbo Division to patrol the river to intercept, Zhao Gou will never be able to escape."

"No need! It's rare that Zhao Jiu spent so much effort and vomited several liters of blood, so he must be considerate." Di Lie leaned on the back of the chair, stretched his hands and feet, and looked south leisurely, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

, "Zhao Jiuyiban

We have worked so hard to hide the truth, and the one who wants to plot is not us, but Zhao Qi! Now, the Southern Song Dynasty is lively - well, we can't just watch the show, this is a great opportunity for Qin Fengjun to march into Chengdu...

"

…

What Zhao Gou concealed from the sky was not the sea, but the river - the Yangtze River.

At this time, Zhao Gou had appeared on the mighty Yangtze River. He was wearing a green hat and a beard all over his face. He could not see the appearance of the suave King Kang at all. He stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back - in front, Jiankang Mansion was in sight.

That's right, Zhao Gou's move to escape the golden cicada was not aimed at the Tianshu forces, but his imperial brother, Zhao Xu!

It is indeed true that Zhao Gou vomited blood and fainted during the sheep-raising ceremony, otherwise Tianshu Medical Attendant would not have given the diagnosis of "recurrence of old wounds and severe damage to the roots"? Zhao Gou was shrewd and shrewd in pushing the boat forward and taking advantage of the recurrence of old wounds.

, it’s true and false, it’s a cruel trick.

He has a broken bones, which is the result of eating only one meal a day; he coughs every time, which is partly due to illness, partly due to coercion; the blood on his silk scarf is due to ruthlessly biting his tongue... Not like that.

, An could deceive Zhao Zhen and get him to be his lobbyist, moving from the heavily guarded Tokyo Embassy to the loosely guarded Qingcheng Palace? Only those who are ruthless to themselves are truly ruthless, and Zhao Gou is undoubtedly that

This kind of person.

The reason why he was cruel to himself and willing to take extraordinary risks to escape from under the nose of Tianshu forces was for one purpose - to survive in the Qingcheng Palace where Emperor Xingyuan thought he was lying thousands of miles away.

At that time, little did he know that his fateful enemy had secretly crossed into Chencang, approached the city, and opened a life-threatening net...

As for the Taishang Long's funeral coffin, mothers, wives and children... all stand aside in front of the throne! What filial piety, kindness, and human ethics are not just smeared arbitrarily and can be changed as much as you want as long as you return to the throne?

Everything, just for that golden chair! Even if your life span is halved! Even if you are infamous for eternity! No matter what!

The wind on the river is strong, the rapids are rolling, the reeds are like waves, and the river bank is in sight.

Zhao Gou's eyes were intense, and he saw - on the river bank, general flags were flying one after another, rows of dense iron armor, spears and halberds like a forest, license plates like a wall, and countless large and small warships, moored at the water gate, ready to launch at any time...

…

Zhao Gou looked up to the sky and laughed, arms outstretched. This was his secret move, a killer move that he had carefully planned and prepared for half a year.
Chapter completed!
