[Red Chamber] Dai Yu became the favorite of the Song Dynasty

The two sides were at a stalemate in Funing Hall, Lu Qingzhou escorted the prince to retreat outside the hall step by step, he calculated that the space outside the hall was open, Daiyu and the others had a greater chance of escaping.

Lu Qingzhou grabbed his collar and strangled King Jing'an's neck until he was bruised: "Tell them to release him quickly! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

King Jing'an was so strangled that he could hardly breathe, so he could only nod his head.The soldiers understood what the prince meant, and were about to release Daiyu and the three of them.But at this time, Lu Qingzhou couldn't hold on due to the pain, and his body suddenly collapsed halfway down. King Jing'an seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to escape from Lu Qingzhou's grasp.

King Jing'an fled to the opposite side of Lu Qingzhou, put the knife on Daiyu's neck, and sneered at Lu Qingzhou: "You sick child, you can't protect yourself, and you want to be a hero to save others. This king will send you to the west together today!" Lifting the knife, he was about to slash at Daiyu with all his strength, Lu Qingzhou endured the pain and tried to struggle forward to stop it, but unfortunately his strength was already very weak.In a moment of urgency, he saw a flying arrow shoot directly at King Jing'an's chest, and he fell to the ground in response, a figure flashed in his eyes, General Pingyuan!

After King Jing'an was shot and killed by General Pingyuan, his subordinates were leaderless and panicked.General Pingyuan yelled: "King Jing'an is dead, so hurry up and surrender, if anyone resists, kill them!" One after another, some of King Jing'an's subordinates dropped their swords, and Daiyu and the three escaped in the chaos. , helped Lu Qingzhou arrive at General Pingyuan's formation.

When General Pingyuan saw the prince, he knelt down on the ground: "I am late to save you, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

After experiencing this incident, the prince seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and imitated his father's tone and said: "The general came in time, killed the traitor, saved our lives, and you will be rewarded! Please get up!"

General Pingyuan got up, sent someone to escort Lu Qingzhou to the side hall to rest, and quickly invited the imperial physician to come for diagnosis and treatment.Daiyu was suspicious: "The gates of the palace are sealed, how did the general know that there is danger in the palace?"

"Did the princess forget the hidden guards around you? They are invisible, but they can come and go freely, and they told me everything when they came to the mansion." After General Pingyuan explained, Daiyu finally understood.

General Pingyuan presided over the overall situation for the time being, let Daiyu stay to take care of Lu Qingzhou, and sent a team of people to protect them: "The body of the late emperor is still in the Funing Palace, please go and settle it with Princess Shangyang and the prince. The country cannot live without a day. Lord, we have to welcome the new emperor to the throne as soon as possible." Everyone agreed with General Pingyuan.

After this battle, more than half of Funing Hall was destroyed, and the body of the late emperor was also in a mess. Shang Yang and Zhao Kai were heartbroken, and threw themselves on the bedside crying, one was the emperor's elder brother, the other was the emperor's father.General Pingyuan had no choice but to pull the two of them apart: "Let the palace people sort it out. The two most important things right now are to welcome the prince to the throne, and the second is to arrange for the late emperor to be buried."

"The first emperor had a decree, and ordered General Pingyuan and Master Ouyang to assist Kai'er until he was 16 years old. General, please worry about the Great Song Dynasty!" Shang Yang said solemnly.

"Princess, don't worry, the old minister will definitely live up to his entrustment. He will die for the sake of the Song Dynasty and the new emperor. I will send someone to invite all the courtiers to enter the palace to discuss the enthronement. I will also ask the princess to clean up the prince. I will meet the group later. minister."

"Shang Yang understands, and will obey the general's instructions."

Shang Yang took Kai'er back to his palace, and found some clean clothes for the child to change into.While putting on her clothes, Kai'er asked Shang Yang: "Auntie, my father is gone, will I be a helpless orphan from now on?"

When Shang Yang was asked by the child, his heart was shocked: "Nonsense! You and me and Aunt Daiyu, we will accompany you to grow up well, until you take charge of the government and become a good emperor of the Song Dynasty." She was a little bit drumming, she didn't know Kai'er's attitude towards becoming the emperor, and she didn't know whether the usual emperor had taught children the way to be a king, she was afraid that the little Kai'er would not be able to cope with the complicated affairs of the world, Then he asked worriedly: "We Kai'er, do you dare to be emperor?"

"Dare! I'm not afraid!" Kai'er replied solemnly, as if a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Shang Yang: "Okay, you are indeed a descendant of my Zhao family. As long as you can do it, my aunt will always help you."

The aunt and nephew got up and went to the imperial study, where a group of ministers were waiting for them.

Three days later, Zhao Kai ascended the throne as the new emperor, and the whole world celebrated together.

The king of Jing'an tried to usurp the throne, causing chaos in the court and killing all his families.

In this short period of time, the earth-shaking changes have taken place in the city of Tokyo, which has to make people feel emotional.

Dong Niu and Aunt Lin were doing needlework in the courtyard, chatting: "I don't know what will happen in the Ming Dynasty today, who would have expected that Jing'an Palace would end up like this, luckily Cousin Yue'er didn't marry into their family at that time..."

Aunt Lin also sighed: "Yes, I can't think of it, but Yue'er was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe."

"Mother, Daiyu has been busy in the palace for the past few days. I'm afraid that she won't take care of herself and won't eat well. Why don't you send some nutritious soup to the palace, okay?"

"I'm also worried about her. Now I regard the palace as my second home. But no one in the family can enter the palace, so how can I send it to her."

Dong Niu was thoughtful: "Qingzhou is still recovering from his injuries at home, and his mobility is limited. He will definitely not enter the palace. Let's go to Mr. Zhao for help. He must often enter the palace."

"Just do as you say."

At noon, Dong Niu stewed more than half of a black-bone chicken, and made Daiyu's favorite steamed fish and maocai, packed them in food boxes, and carried them to Zhao's house.

Zhao Mingcheng agreed immediately after learning about Dongniu's intentions: "You and Qingzhao thought about going together, and she also said that she wanted to make some delicious food for your sister to bring to the palace, but she was not as quick as you! You've worked hard, I'm afraid she hasn't closed her eyes for several nights, and when she's done with the late Emperor's funeral, she should take some time to rest."

"Isn't that right, my mother and I feel sorry for her, but we can't enter the palace, so we can only trouble the lord, thank you for your help!"

"You don't need to be polite, if there is anything else at home you want me to bring into the palace, just bring it here, and I will take it with you when I go."

"it is good."

In the palace, Zhao Mingcheng found Daiyu through the internal officials, and handed over the food box to her: "This is prepared for you by your sister-in-law, eat it while it's hot."

Daiyu: "Thank you for your hard work, my lord."

"It's okay, I still have something to do, I'll go to the front hall first."

Daiyu took out the dishes from the food box one by one, all of which were her favorites in the past, and then put the food on the table, and Shang Yang came over: "Sister, I heard that Mr. Zhao brought you something from home. , let me see what it is." She looked at the food on the table, and immediately showed envious eyes: "Ah, it turns out that it is home food, I want to have a taste too."

Daiyu asked the palace maid to prepare another bowl and chopsticks: "It's just in time for you to come, let's eat together, I can't eat so much by myself."

Shang Yang praised while eating: "The food at my sister's house is delicious, even better than the imperial chef!"

"If you like it, just ask my sister-in-law to make more later."

"I really envy you. You are loved by your parents, brother and sister-in-law, unlike me..." Shang Yang became sad while eating, "My mother has passed away for many years, and I have never tasted the taste of home again."

Daiyu patted her on the back: "Don't be sad, I can cook whatever you want at home, and I'll bring it to you. You can live well in the palace and just be a safe and happy princess! "

Shang Yang's tone was heavy: "Sister, do you think I can still be a relaxed princess like before? I'm afraid I can't. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the situation is not stable. As a member of the royal family, I naturally have to fight for His Majesty will do his part, he is young and left unattended, I am not at ease at all..."

What Shang Yang said is the truth, she is Kai'er's biological aunt, she is the closest person in the world to Kai'er by blood, the throne is high above her, it is not so easy to sit on.If she wanted her nephew to live better, she wanted to help him. "I regret it now. When the late emperor was here, I shouldn't have advised you to separate from Zhao Jing, so that you would have a capable helper by your side..." Daiyu blamed herself.

"Sister, I won't mention the past. Besides, I am a royal woman, and I also bear responsibilities on my shoulders. Now that the late emperor is not here, I must be more cautious in my marriage in the future. It will definitely help to consolidate Your Majesty's great cause." Shang Yang is now She is very clear-headed, unlike the little girl she used to be, she wants to stabilize the imperial power for Kaier, and never let Da Song Jiangshan fall into the hands of others!

Daiyu looked at the little girl who was eating vigorously in front of her. If she was born in the common people, she would be a jewel in the palm of her parents' care, but she was born in a deep palace. Both of them started working hard for the world at a young age, and couldn't enjoy the joy of their peers.

Daiyu had no choice but to say: "In the future, if you have any difficulties, just come to me. As long as I can do it, I will do my best. Although the late emperor is gone, you and I are still sisters, and Kaier and Kaier are still aunts and nephews. Your business is It's my business. It's just that my roots are outside the palace, and I can't stay here with you every day, so you should be more careful." Daiyu thought again, "The secret guard left by the late emperor, I think I probably It’s unnecessary, after Zhao Jing left, there are 11 of them left, you get five, Kai’er gets six, let them stay in the palace to protect you.”

But Shang Yang refused to accept it. She was worried that Daiyu would also be powerless, and she would have no one to protect her: "Sister, it's not safe for you to walk outside, so why bother thinking about us, just stay by your side."

"Don't worry about me, I have Qing Zhou and Xiao Jiang, and a group of masters in the martial arts gym, no one dares to bully me." Daiyu ordered, "Where is the late emperor's hidden guard?" She never took the initiative to summon the hidden guard, I don't know if these people are still there or if they will listen to her.

Fortunately, all the dark guards showed up, eleven of them.

"Did you hear my conversation with Princess Shangyang just now?" Daiyu asked.

"The lowly ranks will not eavesdrop on the princess's privacy when the princess is safe, so they don't understand."

"Well, now I want to divide you into two teams. One team will protect Princess Shangyang, and the other team will go to protect His Majesty. They are close relatives of the late emperor and need protection more than me. Are you willing?"

"The humble ones follow the princess' orders." The hidden guards automatically divided into two teams, one team stayed with Shang Yang, and the other team went to protect Kai'er.

"It's all right now, I can rest assured, these hidden guards are very skilled, there are few people in the world who are their opponents, you can feel at ease in the palace." After finishing this matter, Daiyu felt a lot more relaxed.

Shang Yang stood up and bowed to Daiyu: "My sister is so kind, Shang Yang and Kai'er are very grateful. In the future, as long as my sister speaks, my aunt and nephew will reciprocate with all my heart!"

Daiyu helped her up: "We are also family members, so we don't need to see each other like this. When the court is stable, you can still go to my shop to eat delicious food!"

"I wish this day would come sooner!"

Half a month later, the first emperor was buried in peace, and the new emperor began to face the court with the assistance of the auxiliary ministers.

The court affairs are usually discussed by the ministers together, after the court, Zhao Kai often stays with Shang Yang and tells her some interesting things.The aunt and nephew depend on each other for life, and the relationship is stronger than before, just like mother and child.

Lu Qingzhou had been recuperating at home since he was injured during the palace change. The new and old injuries made him feel unbearable pain, but even so, he never even yelled "it hurts".There are careless men in the martial arts hall, and they don't know how to get him some nourishing dishes. Fortunately, Lin Jin comes to deliver meals every two days, and the nutrition can be regarded as keeping up.

Finally, when Daiyu left the palace, she prepared a food box early in the morning to visit Lu Qingzhou. Yu'er hadn't seen her aunt for a long time, and she kept pestering her to follow her.

Mr. Ouyang was busy with the affairs of the court, so he couldn't distinguish his background from teaching for the time being, so he asked Yu'er to rest at home for a few days, and then went when the husband was free.

Yu'er was still young, and occasionally heard a few words from adults, but she didn't quite understand, so she asked Daiyu, "Auntie, are we changing emperors?"

"Well, the new emperor has succeeded, so sir is very busy."

"Who is the new emperor?"

"It's the nephew of Princess Shangyang who came to our house before, do you remember?"

"Remember that little brother, he is now an official, really amazing!" Yu'er didn't know the bitterness behind all this, and naively thought that the official position was very honorable.

Daiyu smiled at the child showing off her face, the young man has no worries, so there is no need to say anything to him.

After the two arrived at Lu's house, Lu Qingzhou was counting the number of people in the martial arts hall.Daiyu was curious: "What is this? Why do you need to count the number of people?"

Lu Qingzhou told her: "General Pingyuan told me that the guards in the capital city need to be strengthened, the Imperial Guard team should be expanded, and some people with high martial arts skills are wanted to join. I think these masters in the martial arts hall are rare talents in Tokyo city, so it is better to let them Go to General Pingyuan, maybe you can find a good future."

"Are they all willing?"

"If you want to go, you can go, and if you don't want to, you can still stay in the martial arts school. I can still recruit students here."

Daiyu understood that this was the escape route Lu Qingzhou had left for everyone.

More than half of the masters were willing to join the imperial army to guard the capital, and only the five older ones remained.Lu Qingzhou asked them why they didn't find a better way out, but spent half their lives in this small martial arts hall.

"Young master, we followed the old owner from the villa, and then followed you to Tokyo. These years, you treated us like family members, and Miss Lin, you never forget us if you have anything to eat and drink. The brothers discussed that we should not only protect the family and the country, but also protect the son, so we left the five older ones to take care of the son's life, and no matter how bad we are, we can also take care of the house and guard the courtyard, and be a helper for the son." The master answered.
