Qian Song

Chapter 357 Zhao You, Zhao Huan, Zhao Gou and the Three Emperors Meet (Ask for a monthly ticket!)
...

When Zhao Gou woke up, he found that others were already on the boat heading to Nanjing Yingtianfu.

Together with Zhao Gou, the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties in the Sichuan-Shanxi area were also escorted to Nanjing Yingtianfu Siguocheng.

In charge of escorting Zhao Gou and other royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region were [-] elite cavalry, [-] musketeers from the Shenji Battalion, and [-] Donghai Navy.

With this escort force, even [-] to [-] elite Song troops would not be able to intercept Zhao Gou and other royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty in the Sichuan-Shanxi area.

After figuring out his own situation, Zhao Gou looked up to the sky and sighed, "Drip is not leaking!"

Zhao Gou finally fully understood that he was no match for the thoughtful Li Cun, and Li Cun would never give him and anyone from the Zhao family a chance to come back.

Lost!

Totally lost!

Zhao Gou's heart is full of remorse!

Zhao Gou felt that when he had the opportunity to fight Li Cun, he chose to be cowardly, chose to escape, even desperately cowardly, desperately to escape. When Li Cun launched a challenge, Li Cun put away the poker table and stopped playing with him. Not only that, Li Cun also abolished him and threw him into the [-]th floor of hell, so that he would never have the chance to stand up again .

Zhao Gou had the heart to jump into the Grand Canal to end his useless and miserable life, which can be regarded as a burial for the Zhao Song Dynasty.

But don’t say that the people guarding Zhao Gou stared at Zhao Gou 24 hours a day and never gave Zhao Gou a chance to commit suicide. Take a step back and say that even if the people guarding Zhao Gou let Zhao Gou commit suicide regardless, they are greedy for life and afraid of death Zhao Gou did not have the courage to commit suicide.

After realizing his own submissive nature, Zhao Gou even looked down on himself.

But Jiangshan is easy to change and nature is hard to change. Zhao Gou is a weak coward in his bones, and he can't change himself at all.

Slowly, Zhao Gou finally accepted that he couldn't do anything by himself, so he could only accept his fate and choose to lie flat.

And Zhao Gou, who persuaded him to live in peace, was soon relieved: "Li thief is as cunning as a lemur, fierce as a tiger and wolf, and bows to his armor to rule the country. Like the palm of your hand, you can be a dragon."

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Gou felt that it was normal for him to lose to Li Cun, who defeated all the heroes in the world with the resources of the sky, after all, he was just an ordinary person.

After taking care of himself, Zhao Gou felt relieved. He had heard about the picturesque scenery and pleasant environment in the south of the Yangtze River. Maybe it would be a good place to retire.

a few days later.

Zhao Gou was escorted to Siguo City.

In the Four Kingdoms City, Zhao Gou saw many figures that he had chosen to forget a long time ago, such as his father Zhao Ji who didn’t like him, his elder brother Zhao Huan who asked him to die, and those who were not close to him at all. Many brothers and clansmen.

What Zhao Gou didn't expect was that Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and other royal families and clans of Zhao Song Dynasty were not as bad as he imagined. On the contrary, Zhao Huan and many royal families and clans of Zhao Song Dynasty were still fat.

Seeing this, Zhao Gou breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his future life in Siguo City might not be so bad.

Zhao Gou knew that his previous actions might arouse the resentment of Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and other royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Siguo City, Zhao Gou wanted to visit Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, and took the initiative to Explain why he refused to save them before.

No, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan didn't come out at all, giving Zhao Gou a chance to meet them.

In addition, Zhao Gou is not familiar with Siguocheng.

Zhao Gou could only go to his residence with the steward of Siguocheng to settle down first.

What Zhao Gou never expected was that as soon as Guan Shi left, Zhao Gou's two older brothers, Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu, came looking for him.

At first, Zhao Gou was quite happy, thinking that Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu were here to clean up his little brother.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them met, Zhao Kai punched Zhao Gou in the face before Zhao Gou exchanged false greetings, and Zhao Xu even kicked Zhao Gou in the stomach with red eyes.

Zhao Kai had five wives and concubines (this only refers to those with titles), six sons, and six daughters. When Li Cun attacked Song Dynasty for the second time, they were all captured. All the concubines, women in the palace and six daughters were all killed It was taken away by Li Cun.

Zhao Xu had a total of four wives and concubines (this only refers to those with titles), four sons, and seven daughters. When Li Cun attacked the Song Dynasty for the second time, they were all captured. All concubines, women in the palace, and seven daughters They were all taken away by Li Cun.

At the beginning, Zhao Gou obviously had nearly a million troops in his hands, so he faltered near Bianliang City in Tokyo, and finally ran farther and farther.

As a result, from Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan down, the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty in Bianliang City, Tokyo were all captured alive, and then all the men were imprisoned in these four cities and would not be free forever, and all the women were collected by Li Cun in the harem It became Li Cun's plaything.

What a shame!
The disaster of extinction!

The key point is that the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty all felt that they could have avoided this great humiliation and disaster, because they were cheated by Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou.

The former, war and peace are uncertain, indecisive, stupid as a pig to defend the city with Guo Jing's magic stick, and selfishly detaining all the royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasties in Tokyo's Bianliang City to suffer together with him .

The latter, regardless of the life and death of his parents, concubines, five daughters, and clan, only cared about supporting soldiers for self-defense. As a result, the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties in Bianliang City, Tokyo were all captured alive and left to be concocted by Li Cun.

Whether it is Zhao Huan or Zhao Gou, the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty hated them greatly.

Among them, Zhao Kai's resentment was the heaviest.

You know, Zhao Kai missed the throne just a little bit, and then the throne fell into the hands of Zhao Huan, an indecisive, ruthless, idiot who fights inside and outside, and then the throne fell to Zhao Gou. Cowardly, cowardly, ruthless, and caring only about himself, regardless of the life and death of his relatives.

Ever since he was captured, Zhao Kai had thought countless times that if the throne had been passed on to him at the beginning, or if he had brought people into the palace that day to snatch the throne from Zhao Huan, they, the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty Never fall into such a miserable and humiliating end.

Because of this, Zhao Kai was depressed for a while, and almost died of depression.

Later, at the request of all the concubines (in fact, Zhao Ji asked all the concubines to beg Li Cun), Li Cun sent people to build a Taoist temple in Siguo City for the spiritual sustenance of the detainees in Siguo City. Send Zhang Xubai, Wang Yuncheng, Xu Zhichang, Dong Nanyun, Li Derou, Wang Chongdao, Shao Ruoyu, Wang Wenqing and other people with strong Taoism to go to the Siguo City in turn to preach to the people imprisoned in the Siguo City, Zhao Kai slowly walked out of his depression , did not die in the Kingdom of Jin at a young age like in history.

However, although Zhao Kai came out of depression under the enlightenment of a group of Taoist priests with strong Taoism, this does not mean that Zhao Kai did not hate Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou.

In fact, since entering Siguo City, Zhao Kai never said a word to Zhao Huan again, and it seemed that he would never have any contact with Zhao Huan.

Now that Zhao Gou has also come to Siguo City, the Zhao family has no hope of returning to the country, and they, the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty, have no hope of leaving Siguo City. The desperate Zhao Kai can no longer suppress it. With the resentment in his heart, he and Zhao Xu, who also hated Zhao Gou to the bone, came to Zhao Gou for revenge.

At first, Zhao Gou, who knew he was in the wrong, didn't fight back. He wanted Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu to vent their anger first, and then he explained to Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu why he refused to save him.

But slowly, Zhao Gou felt that Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu, especially the latter, were not just venting their anger, but wanted to kill him.

Under the shadow of death, Zhao Gou didn't dare to let Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu fight any longer.

So, Zhao Gou began to fight back.

What needs to be explained here is that Zhao Gou was an emperor after all, so he also has a psychological advantage when facing his two brothers who have not been emperors, so he can overcome his cowardice and fight back.

Zhao Gou has practiced martial arts, and his martial arts are very high.

And Zhao Kai followed Zhao Ji's route, he was an out-and-out literati, although he had also practiced one-click sword skills, but he was definitely far from being able to compare with Zhao Gou, who was a master of martial arts.

As for Zhao Xu, he is completely a pampered prince. In real fighting, he is not even as good as Zhao Kai, let alone Zhao Gou's opponent.

In the end, Zhao Gou defeated Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu with one against two.

At this time, Zhao Gou, who was played with concubines by Li Cun in front of him, was castrated by Li Cun, and was cut off by Li Cun for revenge, also broke out. He looked at Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu with red eyes. He roared: "Come on! Come again! Let alone the two of you, even if all of you go up, I can defeat it!"

——At this time, many royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasties also came to Zhao Gou's residence.

Zhao Gou is so arrogant, firstly, he is really venting his grievance and depression, secondly, he also wants to deter other royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty, otherwise, if everyone makes trouble for him, then he will definitely let these haters His dearest brothers and kin were eaten alive.

Zhao Kai wiped the blood from Zhao Gou's beating from the corner of his mouth, and then said while climbing up, "You hero, why don't you come to rescue the capital with a million troops in your hand, and make me wait so long?!"

Zhao Gou couldn't say: "I'm afraid I will be caught by Li Cun like you." Nor could he say: "If I rescue you, can I still be emperor?"

Zhao Gou could only say: "I have difficulties, and I will explain to my father and brother later."

"Difficulties? I'm afraid those are all excuses for your heartlessness!"

Without waiting for Zhao Gou to explain, Zhao Kai, who hated Zhao Gou to death, incited: "We are trapped here, and our wives and daughters are reduced to other people's playthings. It is all thanks to Zhao Gou's army of millions and his willingness to die. , are you waiting for revenge?!"

Zhao Xu, who hated Zhao Gou to the bone and was beaten again, also incited: "The law does not blame the public. Even if the steward knows that we killed Zhao Gou, he will not punish us. They all follow me!" , Revenge for revenge, revenge for grievances!"

After speaking, Zhao Xu took the lead and rushed forward, continuing to fight with Zhao Gou.

Seeing this, Zhao Kai threw his fist at Zhao Gou as well.

With Zhao Kai and Zhao Xu's instigation and leadership, Zhao Hu'er's son-in-law cried and shouted to the ovary: "Zhao Gou, you are hurting me too!"

After speaking, Xiang Zifang rushed over, and bumped into Zhao Gou's waist.

Then, other royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasties also rushed up to beat Zhao Gou in groups.

Not to mention that Zhao Gou's martial arts has long been abandoned, even if Zhao Gou was at his peak, he must have been defeated by two fists and four hands. What's more, among the royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty, there were many people who had practiced martial arts like Zhao Gou .

Therefore, it is no surprise that Zhao Gou was quickly knocked down by the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty and surrounded and beaten.

Surrounded in the middle, Zhao Gou curled up desperately to save his life, and at the same time thought full of fear: "My life is over!"

Zhao Ji never liked Webster.

Therefore, Zhao Gou naturally couldn't get into Zhao Ji's eyes.

When Zhao Gou was young, in order to get ahead, he studied hard every day and practiced martial arts diligently.

However, even so, Zhao Gou did not attract Zhao Ji's attention at all.

In order not to be a little transparent, but also to win the spirit of his mother Webster, when Li Cun conquered the Song Dynasty for the first time, Zhao Gou did not leave Bianliang City in Tokyo like other princes did, but actively helped the new army when the army besieged the city. Emperor Zhao Huan defended against the enemy.

With Zhao Gou's desperate efforts, Zhao Huan finally began to pay attention to Zhao Gou, his younger brother who he hadn't noticed before.

But what Zhao Gou worked hard in exchange for was not Zhao Huan's respect for him, but Zhao Huan sent him to cede land for compensation, and even let him take him as a hostage in the barracks of the Qianjun.

During a war, being a hostage is very dangerous, let alone a prince?

Zhao Ji didn't like Zhao Gou's mother and son, and didn't care much about Zhao Gou's mother and son. Zhao Gou grew up in an environment that lacked fatherly love and was neglected by his tribe since he was a child.

Zhao Huan ignored Zhao Gou's life and death, and sent Zhao Gou to die.

How can Zhao Gou have any real feelings with Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty?

Of course, you can also say that this is Zhao Gou’s excuse. In fact, Zhao Gou is a cowardly, ruthless, and selfish person. Don’t you see, Zhao Gou is dependent on his mother and his own son? All the concubines and all the daughters couldn't be saved.

Furthermore, there is the question of the legitimacy of power.

If Zhao Gou rescued Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, even if he only rescued Zhao Chen, Zhao Gou would definitely be questioned as the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

In this case, Zhao Gou would save Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty only if his head was flooded.

However, for these two reasons, Zhao Gou definitely can't bring it to the table, especially at this terrible time.

Zhao Gou could only curl up his body and tried his best to save his life, and shouted: "It's not that I don't want to rescue the capital. There are my parents, concubines, five daughters, and clan members in the city. How can I not want to save them? It's because I was really powerless at the time." also……"

Then, while being beaten, Zhao Gou explained to the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty who beat him:

Although he, Zhao Gou, had an army of millions in name at that time, in fact, Fan Ne, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiang and other commanders did not listen to his dispatches at all, and Zong Ze and other main battlers always did their own way. Following his command, Weng Yanguo and others waited and watched. The number of troops he could really control was actually less than [-].

And even Zhao Gou can control less than 10 horses, and most of them are defeated soldiers who were beaten like frightened birds by the dry army, plus militias gathered in a hurry from all over the place.

With such an army, it is impossible to defeat the dry army that swept the world.

Also, Zhao Gou had no money at that time.

Fighting costs money, without money, how can those arrogant soldiers be effective?

In addition, Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others analyzed at that time that Li Cun should have set up a big net in the Gyeonggi area at that time, waiting for him, Zhao Gou, to throw himself into the net, and then wipe out their Zhao family.

Even though Zhao Gou has been beaten to death by the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty, even though Zhao Gou knows that the people around him may not be able to hear what he said, Zhao Gou, who doesn't want to die, still tries his best He tried his best to explain his difficulties over and over again.

At the same time, Zhao Gou was also repenting, expressing that he regretted not fighting Li Cun desperately, but was focused on the overall situation, so he worked hard to preserve the strength of their Zhao Song Dynasty, and prepared to wait for him to take back all the military power, and then prepare sufficient food and pay , and then fight Li Cun decisively, save everyone and revenge.

I don't know whether it was Zhao Gou's explanation and confession that moved Zhao Ji, or Zhao Ji couldn't bear to have his son beaten to death in front of him. Just when Zhao Gou was about to lose his strength, Zhao Ji finally said, "Stop it all."

With the end of Zhao Ji's voice, dozens of royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty, including Zhao Qi and Cai Wei, stepped forward and pulled away the royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty who beat Zhao Gou one by one.

At the same time, the generals and soldiers responsible for the security of Siguo City also rushed over fully armed.

Only then did Zhao Gou get back a little life.

Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Ji gratefully.

In fact, what Zhao Gou said just now was mainly for Zhao Ji.

——Zhao Gou is very smart. He understands that among the people present, the only one who can save him is his father Zhao Ji.

Looking at it this way, Zhao Gou didn't see the understanding and forgiveness he wanted to see in Zhao Ji's eyes, not even pity and family affection.

What Zhao Gou saw in Zhao Ji's eyes was undisguised hatred.

Fortunately-

A little different from other royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty who hated Zhao Gou, the hatred in Zhao Ji's eyes was also mixed with some meaning that iron could not be made into steel.

"It turns out that Father really has expectations of me."

Zhao Gou couldn't help thinking of the three words that Zhao Ji entrusted someone to bring him: "It's true if you can, come to save your parents." I am thinking about it.", "The ancestor of Yi has an oath, hidden in the Taimiao, and vows not to kill ministers and those who talk about it, and it is unknown who violates it."

It's a pity that Zhao Gou only listened to half of the three sentences that Zhao Ji brought to Zhao Gou: If you can, it is true.

Because of the four characters of Zhao Ji, Zhao Gou's throne is barely justified.

——In fact, from the perspective of strict legal system, Zhao Ji's secret edict is invalid.Because he abdicated a long time ago, Zhao Huan is the rightful owner.But under the special circumstances at that time, Zhao Gou was already very popular if he could get the four characters Zhao Ji.

As for the second half of the sentence about saving parents, let's talk about it depending on the situation.

Restoring the Central Plains?

It's still important to save your life.

After Zhao Ji stabilized his position, he never seriously considered restoring the Central Plains. For him at that time, as long as he could live comfortably, what would he do with the Central Plains?
As for Zhao Ji's reaffirmed ancestral vow, he naturally didn't take it to heart. Later, in order to survive in a corner, he attacked Liu Kai and Li Yanxian, nailing the last coffin nail for the complete demise of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Now, Zhao Gou realized that although Zhao Ji didn't like him, he had placed high hopes on him, paved the way for him, and even found excuses for his infidelity, filial piety, and injustice. To give him the chance to sweep the world and become the emperor through the ages, it was he who really failed to live up to Zhao Ji's expectations of him.

At this moment, Zhao Gou was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Zhao Ji again.

Not long after, Zhao Huan, dressed in Taoist robes, couldn't help his own curiosity, and appeared.

Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Gou, the three emperors of the Zhao Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, gathered together...
