Fu Song

Chapter 670 Please die
Even though there was a stove burning under the floor of the carriage and there were thick fur mattresses piled inside, the cold air still came through the carriage. Every time the carriage bumped, the cold wind poured into the interior with the ups and downs of the carriage.

When he was in Zhongjing, he felt that Jian Jin was unbearably cold there, but when he arrived in Wuguo City, Luo Yi knew what the real cold was.

A drop of water turns into ice!
Spit out a mouthful, before it hits the ground, it is frozen hard, and it can make a ding-dong sound when it falls on the ground.

How can people live in such a place?
He simply couldn't imagine how the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, as well as those captured palace servants and eunuchs could survive here.

From the world's supreme being who enjoyed all the wealth and honor in the world, suddenly fell to the situation where even ordinary people can only struggle to survive. I really don't know how they survived these few years.

Outside came the scolding of the coachman and the sound of the driving whip exploding in the air.

The man who drove the carriage for his family was also from Tokyo. He used to drive carriages for the royal nobles. After he was caught in Liaodi, he was taken in by his family after many twists and turns. He was also loyal.

With a sudden movement in his heart, Luo Yi pushed open the window and looked outside.

Outside the car window, a man who was tightly wrapped in rags and tattered clothes, only two eyes were exposed, and there were even icicles on his eyebrows looked at him.

This man was carrying a big bundle in his hand and a bundle of firewood on his back.

Seeing Luo Yi's face, the man let out an exclamation.

"Luo Yu Village?"

Luo Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and he could say his own words, who is this person?
"Stop, stop!" He patted the carriage wall.

The carriage stopped, Luo Yi jumped out and looked at the man in front of him.

The man put down the burden in his hand, pulled off the cloth covering his face, and a face full of chilblains and cracks appeared in front of Luo Yi.

Although this face was completely heaven and earth compared to before, Luo Yi still recognized who this person was at a glance.

A man who once ruled the world.

Zhao Yuan Zhao Ziyu.

Chief of Staff of Emperor Zhao Jing.

A guy who is full of strategy, or full of bad water.

"How did you get here?"

"What are you doing?"

The two asked questions at the same time.

Then Zhao Yuan laughed, and said: "Go out and pick up cow dung and horse dung, and some firewood. Today's weather is a little warmer. You must hurry up and prepare some stocks, otherwise the weather will get colder, and you will be out." Without a door and without something to warm up, wouldn’t it be freezing to death?”

"Just use this to keep warm?" Luo Yi couldn't believe it.

Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded: "Naturally, could it be possible to burn the kang with silver charcoal?"

When Luo Yi was in the Song Dynasty, he was clothed in rich clothes and fine food since he was a child, and he had never suffered any hardship for decades. Even if Guo Po became a prisoner, because of Luo Song's relationship, or because of Luo Gang's relationship, their family The son has not been abused at all, although he has no freedom, but the basic necessities of life have always been according to the best standards.

In the end, after Luo Song became the staff of the Empress Dowager Chengtian, their family enjoyed the best treatment in Zhongjing, and many nobles of the Daliao Dynasty were far inferior to them.

So, how can he know this?

"Ziyu, get in the car and talk!" It was too chaotic outside, and after standing for a while, Luo Yi felt that he was about to freeze.

"Okay!" Zhao Yuan was not pretentious, he threw the fur skin containing cow dung and horse dung and the firewood on his back onto the shaft of the carriage, and followed Luo Yi into the carriage.

He didn't really feel the cold wind blowing outside, but as soon as he entered the warm carriage, Luo Yi immediately smelled an extremely unpleasant smell from Zhao Yuan's body.

For the person in front of him, Luo Yi didn't know how to evaluate him.

Anyway, when my father mentioned this person, he gritted his teeth.

If it weren't for this person to advise Zhao Jing, how could King Jing Zhao Zhe lose the upper hand in this battle, and how could he be taken advantage of by Qu Ang, a traitor who misled the country, and finally led to the disaster of destroying the country?
But this man could have escaped after the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed, but he accompanied Zhao Jing all the way to the Five Kingdoms City. Over the years, countless officials could not bear the bitter cold here, and chose to surrender to the Liao people. He contributed his strength to help the Liao Kingdom rule the region, but Zhao Yuan never agreed to the Liao Kingdom's solicitation.

For this person, the court of the Liao Kingdom actually valued him a lot.

Luo Yi knew that the school office of the Liao Kingdom had come to look for him, and later the Empress Dowager Chengtian also sent someone to recruit him, but this person did not agree.

Is he loyal?Is rape?

Luo Yi really couldn't judge.

"How have you been these past few years?" He poured a cup of hot tea for the other party, took out some snacks from the hidden compartment, and placed them in front of Zhao Yuan.

While drinking hot tea, eating snacks.

Zhao Yuan, who seemed extremely destitute, still maintained his demeanor, perhaps because he didn't want to lose his remaining dignity in front of Luo Yi.

"Of course it's not a good life, you'll know it when you see it." Zhao Yuan said.

"Have you ever regretted it?" Luo Yi asked: "Maybe King Jing is not dead, and the Great Song Dynasty will not have the disaster of that day."

Zhao Yuan laughed and shook his head: "There is nothing to regret. Winners and losers have been like this since ancient times. We are not as good as others. We are taken advantage of by others. If we lose, we must admit it. If we are beaten, we must stand at attention. Who said this? Oh, I remembered, it was Xiao Erlang who said it. It was a good word. By the way, Yucun, why did you come here suddenly? Did something serious happen?"

"The Supreme Emperor and the officials, are they alright?" Luo Yi asked without directly answering Zhao Yuan's words.

"The Supreme Emperor is like this." Zhao Yuan said: "After the winter this year, I haven't gotten out of bed very much. After all, I am old and I haven't suffered any hardships before. I am surprised that I can survive these two years. Every time I thought he was going to die, but he managed to survive, and it seems that he can survive for a few more years. As for the officials, they are young after all, and they still have a few loyal people to help Zhang Luo."

"Are you one of them?"

"Naturally!" Zhao Yuan said. "Are you here to see the official?"

"Father asked me to come and see the official!" Luo Yi said.

Looking at Luo Yi's appearance, Zhao Yuan nodded, and said: "A few days ago, the Liao army who guarded us said that the Liao Kingdom suffered a great loss because it was not going well in the south?"

"Yeah!" Luo Yi nodded: "Quzhen was defeated and lost a large area of ​​territory. Even Lu Ben'an, the governor of Hebei Road, suffered a big loss. He lost his troops and lost his generals. He was transferred back to Zhongjing. The scolding was bloody."

"The Liao people didn't get any benefits in the Huaihe River Basin?" Zhao Yuan's eyes flickered.

"What benefits can I get?" Luo Yi chuckled, "I'll still be beaten to the point of disarming."

"Wonderful!" Zhao Yuan was also smiling. "Hit them as hard as possible!"

Luo Yi's expression turned pale: "I thought you would be unhappy when you heard the news! After all, you lost too badly back then, but now Jiangning Xinsong is doing brilliantly, and you are about to recover the ancient capital of Tokyo."

"How can you be unhappy?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile, "The better they do, the better our situation will be. If they are beaten into a mess, we're afraid that life will be even more difficult. Yucun , if my guess is correct, you came this time because it has something to do with these things, and the Liao Kingdom has new arrangements for the officials?"

Luo Yi was slightly startled, this Zhao Yuan guessed so accurately, he was worthy of his status as Zhao Jing's number one adviser.

It's just that this strategy is wrong when it comes to governing the world, it's completely wrong, and it's wrong.

Luo Yi was not talking, but Zhao Yuan was not asking either.

The carriage drove all the way into the Five Kingdoms City.

Under Zhao Yuan's leadership, Luo Yi did not take a detour, and stood directly in front of a thatched hut.

"This is an official house. The Supreme Emperor is on the other side of the Five Kingdoms City. In the Five Kingdoms City, the former royal family and golden branches and jade leaves used to live. It's just that the number of people has decreased in the past two years. Some have died, and most of them have died. He was taken away." Zhao Yuan walked into the dilapidated thatched hut with a bundle and firewood with a smile.

"Where did you take it?"

"This, you know better than me?"

Luo Yi shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhao Yuan sighed and shook his head. What would happen to those who were taken away? Maybe those who died were luckier.

"Official, here I come!"

Hearing Zhao Yuan's voice, Luo Yi walked to the door and looked inside.

In the corner, a person curled up into a ball. In the fire pit in front of him, there was firewood burning, but the firewood was not very dry, and the smoke in the room was very thick. Even standing at the door, Luo Yi felt his eyes were a little sour.

"Close the door, close it, Ziyu, you let the heat go away after a while." The familiar voice came, which made Luo Yi feel a little sad.

The king of a country has fallen to such a point.

Suddenly he was a little angry again.

At this stage of the field, why are you still alive!
"Officials, there are guests here!" Zhao Yuan smiled and put the firewood on the side of the fire pond, and added some big firewood to make the flames bigger.

Zhao Jing turned around.

Luo Yi took two steps forward, crossed his hands and raised his eyebrows, and bowed deeply to the ground: "Chen Luo Yi, I have seen the official family!"

"Luo Yi? Luo Xianggong's eldest son?" Zhao Jing tilted his head, thought for a while, and finally remembered who the person in front of him was, "It seems that you are doing well, much better than us. Oh, yes Now, I remembered, that Empress Dowager Chengtian almost became your younger brother and sister, so of course she will treat you differently!"

A burst of anger surged in Luo Yi's heart.

The person in front of me has become the emperor, reached the highest point in the world, and then fell from the highest point to the current situation. He has gone through the sky and the earth, but he is still so vitriolic, it really makes people feel no sympathy.

"Officials, Yucun came all the way in this weather, there must be something important, please sit down and talk slowly!" Zhao Yuan saw that Luo Yi's face was blushing, so he hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Sit!" Zhao Jing pointed to the opposite side.

"Yucun, tell me what's going on outside. Why did you come here this time? Mr. Luo asked you to come, right? If it's not a particularly important matter, Mr. Luo would not let you come if you want to come." Zhao Yuan said: "I know that Mr. Luo has always had a deep resentment towards the officials and me."

Luo Yi took a deep breath, and said: "After Tokyo was destroyed, Xiao Cheng, the pacifier of Guizhou Road, supported Zhao An, the youngest son of King Jing, to ascend the throne in Jiangning Mansion. You should know about this matter! "

"What is King Jing's youngest son? Everyone in King Jing's family is dead. This is just Xiao Cheng's trick to deceive the world. I am the only legitimate emperor of Song Dynasty!" Zhao Jing said angrily.

"Zhao An's identity is beyond doubt." Luo Yi shook his head.

"Hmph, anyway, now that I'm in jail, the thief Xiao Cheng, no matter what, won't ask the Liao people for me, it's not that he can do whatever he wants!"

"Officials, now that the North and the South are confronting each other, the Liao people have not gained the slightest advantage. On the contrary, they have been defeated on the battlefield!" Luo Yi said: "The army of the Great Song Dynasty is about to regain the old capital, and now Qinfenglu Li Chun and others are attacking Shaanxi Road, once Shaanxi Road is fully recovered, the Song Dynasty will be able to fully join forces with the Western Army, and the strength will increase greatly, and driving the Liao people out will no longer be a fantasy, but a foreseeable future."

"What does this have to do with me?" The expression on Zhao Jing's face changed, he couldn't see any joy, but was full of pain, and the hostility in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Luo Yi said, "The Liao Kingdom is no longer able to resist the enemy, so they actually want you to go back as an official."

"Let me go back?" Zhao Jing sat up straight all of a sudden, and Zhao Yuan next to him also clenched his fists, looking straight at Luo Yi.

"Yes, they are going to let you go back. The Liao Kingdom is going to make you the King of Song and let you go back to Tokyo City." Luo Yi said each word: "Of course they are not for the good of the Song Dynasty. Their ambition is clear at a glance."

Zhao Jing's face turned red and turned pale, and he looked at Luo Yi: "Of course I understand, if I go back, Xiao Erlang will never be able to fight Tokyo again, right?"

"Yes." Luo Yi said: "Moreover, the Liao people are planning to take the King of Song as their respect, and lead Zhao Wang Quzhen, Jin Wang Liu Quanyi, Qi Wang Liu Yu and others to launch a southern expedition to crusade against non-officials!"

Hearing what Luo Yi said, Zhao Jing's face became more and more excited.

"Then you came here this time, did you simply tell me the news? What did Mr. Luo say?"

Luo Yi took out a small bottle from his arms and put it in front of Zhao Jing.

"What is this?" Zhao Jing's face changed slightly.

"Poison!" Luo Yi said, "If you see blood seal your throat, you will surely die if you eat it. My father hopes that you will go to Huangquan as soon as possible for the sake of the future of the Song Dynasty, so as not to let the tricks of the Liao people succeed. I am here today to invite you to go." die."

Zhao Jing was furious: "I have been struggling here for several years, is it because I took this bottle of poison today? Why?"

"For the sake of the Song Dynasty!" Luo Yi said: "Officials, if you die, the Liao people will have no one to use. If you fulfill the Liao people's wish and become the king of Song who is making money, Then the internal division of the Great Song Dynasty is inevitable, and the recovery of the homeland is indefinitely far away. The Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom and the unification of the world are completely delusional! In this way, you will become a sinner of the Great Song Dynasty through the ages, and you will have no face to see Taizu, Taizong and others in the future. Even if you die with the reputation of a subjugated king, it is better than the reputation of living and kneeling! What's more, if the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty is successful in the future, you will still be welcomed into the Taimiao by the officials to enjoy the honorable position!"

"But I'm dead, what does all this have to do with me?" Zhao Jing suddenly stood up, hissing angrily.
