Song Emperor Jiangshan

When the two were having a headache because they couldn't find the opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was presented to them.

On August 23, that is, two days later, Zhao Gou's biological mother, Webster, will arrive in Lin'an.

Zhao Gou's biological mother, Wei Shi, was an unfavorable concubine who had lived in obscurity in Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji's harem for a long time, and gave birth to Zhao Gou only once when he was favored by the emperor.

After Wei Shi gave birth to Zhao Gou, he didn't get any imperial concubine for a long time, until Zhao Gou was ordered to go to Jinying that year, and the emperor at that time gave Wei Shi the title of virtuous concubine in order to comfort the mother and son.

But before Zhao Gou arrived at Jinying, the Jin soldiers had already broken through Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.Princesses and concubines have all become playthings of Jin Bing, and Zhao Gou's wife and mother are among them.His wife was raped by the Jin people until she had a miscarriage; his mother was first thrown into a brothel in the Kingdom of Jin, and later taken in by King Gaitian of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Zongxian, and gave birth to two sons.

Of course Zhao Gou was very clear about all this. When he negotiated peace with the Jinren, he asked for his mother to be returned.But the golden man's condition was "If you want to negotiate a peace, you must kill Yue Fei."

Now that Yue Fei has been dead for eight months, the Jinren also obeyed the agreement and sent back Zhao Gou's mother, Wei Shi. Changed Webster's age by ten years, and announced to everyone in the world that when his mother was captured by the golden man, he was already old and decrepit. The fact that his old mother was raped by the golden man and gave birth to two sons was purely a rumor .

Empress Dowager Webster will arrive in Lin'an in two days. Zhao Gou attaches great importance to the return of Empress Dowager Wei, and ordered all officials in Lin'an City to go out of the city to welcome Empress Dowager Luanjia, including Pu'an County King Zhao Yuan.

When Zhao Yuan got the news, the first year that flashed in his mind was that he finally had the opportunity to talk to Zhao Gou alone!

Xiao Shan also thought it was a good opportunity. In order to welcome the return of Queen Mother Wei, Zhao Gou specially renovated the palace, built the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and prepared a grand banquet in the palace.On that day, officials from all over the city will go out of the city to greet him, and will accompany him to a banquet.

Since there are so many officials who went to meet Queen Mother Wei this time, including Han Shizhong, a leader of the main combat faction, and some mortal enemies who have not yet been defeated by Qin Hui, so at this time, if Zhao Gou made any abnormal remarks, Qin Hui will have many suspects, and Zhao Yuan is relatively difficult to expose.

But this is also the difficulty. Zhao Gou hasn't seen his biological mother for more than ten years. Now that the mother and child are reunited, they will definitely not be separated for a moment. Zhao Yuan will have very few opportunities to speak alone.

The two discussed for a while, and although they had made a general plan, they always felt that in such a crowded gathering, there would be too many variables, and it was impossible to have a thorough plan, and they could only adapt accordingly.

The day before Empress Dowager Wei was about to arrive in Lin'an, Zhao Yuan began to make active preparations. He selected three people to accompany him.Needless to say, one is Xiao Shan, the other is Gan Min, the eunuch next to him, and the other is a guard named Wu Hao in the palace.

Zhao Yuan got up in the middle of the night, went to Linping outside Lin'an City together with Xiao Shan, Gan Min and Wu Hao, and waited for Empress Dowager Wei to drive her.

The forbidden army in the city had already cleaned up Linping, Huang Hui's big battle was lined up, the road was covered with a red carpet, and the guards on both sides guarded the official road every five steps.

When Zhao Yuan arrived in Linping, there were already many officials waiting here, but Zhao Gou hadn't arrived yet.

Those officials greeted Zhao Yuan one after another, they naturally saw Xiao Shan, and after asking, they learned that he was Qin Hui's adoptive son, some officials silently walked away and ignored him, while some flattered even more crazily, and even sent Xiao Shan to Xiao Shan. Zhao Yuan threw it aside.

Xiao Shan noticed that some of these officials were quite special, and one of them seemed to be more powerful, and even laughed at Qin Hui in front of Xiao Shan: "Mr. Concubine?"

Xiao Shan laughed dryly twice, and asked Zhao Yuan who this person was in private.

Zhao Yuan said: "Wan Qisi for attending political affairs."

Xiao Shan couldn't help but look Wan Qisi up and down, this guy is one of the four people kneeling in Yue Fei Temple.But now he dares to provoke him in front of everyone, which shows that he feels that he is already more powerful, and he has started to openly contradict Qin Hui.

But it is a pity, as Xiao Shan knows, he is about to be involved in a new round of falsehoods.

Zhao Yuan and Xiao Shan talked in a low voice while looking at the sky, the stars were still twinkling in the sky, the lanterns on the ground were dotted, the fog had started to rise gradually, and the green peaks of the mountains in the distance were looming in the darkness.

Everyone was waiting, suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, Xiao Shan and Zhao Yuan looked towards the commotion, they saw two riders on the official road, one was a middle-aged man, the other was a horse, What came was a beautiful woman in a red dress.

The middle-aged man was tall and tall, wearing iron armor, and the red cloak on his back was flapping, even though he was far away, Xiao Shan still caught up with the strong murderous aura on him; the beautiful woman beside the man Petite, but agile.The two have superb riding skills and graceful postures. They are undoubtedly a shining scenery in the night, very eye-catching.

Xiao Shan looked at those two people, and asked Zhao Yuan in a low voice, "Who is that?"

Zhao Yuan said: "The man is a very famous general, you should have heard his name, how about you guess it?"

Xiao Shan saw a beautiful woman in red, with a heroic appearance, and a middle-aged man with a heroic appearance, suddenly the words "Huang Tiandang Han Shizhong defeated the golden army, his wife Liang Hongyu played drums to cheer" suddenly flashed in his head.Xiao Shan said: "Could it be Tan Guogong?" Tan Guogong is Han Shizhong's current title.

Zhao Yuan shook his head, and said: "Tan Guogong is not like this now. This is Li Xianzhong and his wife. Didn't that guy in your family, Zhang San, use him as an example before he left?"

Xiao Shan was taken aback, when he looked at the two people who were running towards him, they had already dismounted, and he heard someone calling the middle-aged man "Li Jiedu".

Xiao Shan also wanted to go up to say hello, but Zhao Yuan pulled him and said, "Don't go there, half a month ago he wrote to the government about the plan to restore Shaanxi, and he was one of Qin Hui's cleaning targets. You go here on purpose now, Our plans today are easily exposed."

Xiao Shan stopped in his tracks. He looked around, but he didn't see anyone like Han Shizhong.He couldn't help but asked Zhao Yuan in a low voice: "Your Highness, who is Tan Guogong?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I greeted him just now, but you didn't pay attention. That's the one standing in the corner who has been silent!"

Xiao Shan looked towards Zhao Yuan, and sure enough, he saw a man in his fifties with gray hair and beard standing in an inconspicuous corner, because it was far away and it was dark, so he couldn't see very clearly.Xiao Shan took another two steps forward, this time Zhao Yuan didn't stop Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan went straight in front of Han Shizhong, bowed to him, and said: "I have admired Duke Tan for a long time, it is a great honor to meet you today."

Han Shizhong originally kept his head down and didn't talk to anyone, but now he raised his head and looked towards Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan also looked at Han Shizhong, and saw that Han Shizhong had many wrinkles on the corners of his mouth, his expression was indifferent, alienated, and his back was already a little hunched.

When Han Shizhong heard Xiao Shan's words, he just let out a self-deprecating laugh, and didn't say anything.He just folded his arms silently and walked to another place with fewer people.

Xiao Shan noticed that only four of Han Shizhong's ten fingers remained, and the way he hugged his arms looked very strange and a little funny.Han Shizhong's figure was quickly hidden in the dark shadows, making it even more unclear.

Xiao Shan had heard of Han Shizhong's reputation for a long time, but when he saw him today, he did not expect to be like this. The words "hero's twilight" jumped into Xiao Shan's mind.

He returned to Zhao Yuan's side, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Tan Guogong to look like this, and he is so old. I just saw him walking with a hunchback."

Zhao Yuan said: "I saw him for the first time five years ago. At that time he was majestic and heroic, and he often laughed. But since the murder of the imperial court and Yue Fei, he seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and he no longer interfered with the government. I can live the rest of my life in peace.”

Xiao Shan felt a sense of sourness in his heart unconsciously.Although he knew that Yue Fei was killed in Dali Temple before, he never saw it with his own eyes; later, he didn't feel much when he saw Yue Yun and Zhang Xian being beheaded at the execution ground, because he had just come to this strange time and space at that time, Everything felt so far away that it didn't seem real.

But now that he has been here for more than half a year, he has already adapted to the life around him and has begun to integrate into it.

Han Shizhong in his heart has always been the majestic hero who made the Jinren fearful, but the gray-haired, bearded and indifferent old man in the distance ruthlessly broke the illusion in his heart.

This feeling of suffocation was stronger than that of watching Yue Yun and Zhang Xian beheaded at the execution ground that day, almost pinching Xiao Shan's neck, which made him feel a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Zhao Yuan whispered: "The official is here!"

Xiao Shan raised his head and looked into the distance, sure enough, not only Zhao Gou came, but Qin Hui also came with him.

All the private conversations of the people suddenly stopped, and the voices of "Long live" rose and fell one after another, and it took a long time to quiet down.

Zhao Yuan stepped forward and saluted Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou was very satisfied to see that Zhao Yuan was waiting here in advance. looking around.

Everyone knew that Zhao Gou was anxiously waiting for his mother's return in his heart.

The sun slowly rose, drawing an arc in mid-air. The weather in midsummer was very hot. It was fine in the morning, but at noon, many officials couldn't bear it, but no one dared to say that they were dissatisfied.

At noon, Zhao Gou simply used the dry food, and then continued to wait, even the imperial physician accompanying him refused to listen to his persuasion to return to the palace.

Zhao Yuan and Xiao Shan were naturally sweating profusely, and they were even more anxious.Qin Hui was getting old, and couldn't stand the scorching sun at noon, so he didn't wait any longer, but went to a nearby tent to rest, but Qin Hui left and Qin Xi stayed beside Zhao Gou, Zhao Yuan stood by Zhao Gou's hand side, but never had any chance to speak what he wanted to say.

Besides, Zhao Yuan secretly looked at Zhao Gou's expression, Zhao Gou looked anxious and restless, and refused to sit on the throne beside him, no matter what he said now, Zhao Gou would never listen to him.

It wasn't until the afternoon Shenshi that the frame of Queen Mother Wei appeared at the end of that section of the road.

Zhao Gou almost lost his composure and jumped up from the ground, and trotted all the way towards the little black spot in the distance.

Huang Hui and many guards followed behind him, and Zhao Yuan had to follow behind Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou ran two steps, as if aware of his gaffe, took two more steps, took two steps, but felt that the speed was too slow, so he couldn't help running two more steps.

Running and walking alternately like this, finally arrived in front of Queen Mother Wei's car.

The attendant who was driving jumped off the horse and saluted Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou slowly lifted the curtain of the car almost with trembling hands.

Inside the car, a middle-aged woman in her 40s raised her eyes slightly, and the two just stared blankly at each other.

The celebratory drums sounded immediately, but Zhao Yuan, who was following Zhao Gou, and Xiao Shan, who was beside Zhao Yuan, saw that Zhao Gou's eye circles were red, while Empress Dowager Wei's face was covered with tears.
