Qian Song

Chapter 369 Starting to Make Money (Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

...

Just when Li Cun was about to practice another set of Baduanjin, Zhang Chao and Hu Tu came to the Lingxiao Pavilion almost in no particular order.

Hu Tu came to Li Cun's side half a step ahead, and whispered something in Li Cun's ear.

Li Cun looked at Zhang Chao after listening.

Zhang Chao nodded tacitly.

Li Cun lifted his legs and left.

At the same time, Li Cun issued an order: "Xuan Zaizhi came to discuss matters in the Qing Palace."

Seeing this scene, how could the Taoist priests not know that something big must have happened?

But the Taoists didn't pay much attention.

It's not common for major national events that require the emperor to make a big decision suddenly.

When Li Cun left, he didn't tell Zhao Ji to go back to Siguo City, so Zhao Ji stayed in Lingxiao Pavilion.

at night.

Zhao Ji looked up at the starry sky in the attic while thinking about something on his mind.

Not long after, Zhang Xubai quietly brought a jug of wine and four small dishes, and put them on the small table in front of Zhao Ji.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji said, "Zhang Hu, you are drunk."

Zhang Xubai knew that Zhao Ji was reminding him not to get too close to Zhao Ji, lest Li Cun suspect him.

Zhang Xubai said with a smile: "Zhang Hu hasn't drunk yet, how could he be drunk?"

Poured a glass of wine for Zhao Ji, and then Zhang Xubai poured the wine for himself, saying: "Your Majesty is the same as your lord, both are open-minded people, and you will not blame Zhang Hu for asking your lord to drink wine. Zhang Hu, and your honor has tolerated Zhang Hu for many years, Zhang Hu Ruo dare not even have a meal of water and wine with your honor, what kind of Tao is Zhang Hu still practicing, what kind of person is he?"

Cuijia wine by the Wuling River, there should be nothing on the ground and nothing in the sky.A Taoist priest from the south drank a bucket and lay drunk at the entrance of a deep cave in the white clouds.

Zhang Xubai belongs to the sect of Taiyi Palace, a Taoist priest. He is six feet long, has a beautiful beard and beard, and has a quiet personality. man of.

Back then, Zhao Ji knew that Zhang Xubai was a master of Taoism, and he liked drinking the most in his life, so every time he summoned Zhang Xubai, Zhao Ji would give Zhang Xubai good wine.

As long as Zhang Xubai drank too much, he would talk nonsense, and sometimes he would even sleep on Zhao Ji's lap. Zhao Ji never blamed Zhang Xubai, and let Zhang Xubai take charge of the Longde Taiyi Palace.

Long before the Jingkang Incident, that is, when Yelu Yanxi was arrested, Zhang Xubai successfully predicted that Zhao Ji would be with Yelu Yanxi.

Although this incident later became a fact, which proved that Zhang Xubai's prediction was not wrong, but at the time, Zhang Xubai's words could be said to be extremely alarmist, and it could even be said to be outrageous.

But even so, Zhao Ji didn't blame Zhang Xubai, only said: "Zhang Hu, you are drunk again."

This matter not only proves that Zhang Xubai's prediction ability is accurate, but also shows that Zhao Ji's heart is really good.

This is also the reason why two people can still drink together now.

I don't know if it's because of Zhao Ji's death and his wife's death today, but Zhao Ji drank one cup after another, never in the mood to talk.

Seeing this, Zhang Xubai smiled and said to Zhao Ji: "Xiaodao is the lineage of Zunjiahao, how about it?"

Zhang Xubai studied medicine when he was young, many of the sick patients would be cured immediately, so when he was young, he was already a miracle doctor.

After Zhao Ji gave the throne to Zhao Huan, even Zhao Huan, who believed in Buddhism but not in Buddhism, dismissed all the other Taoist priests because of Zhang Xubai's superb medical skills, but specially summoned Zhang Xubai, treated him generously, and sent At the beginning, the classics printed by Zhao Ji and the talismans and medicines accumulated in the three pavilions were all given to Zhang Xubai, and they were carried continuously for several days.

Of course Zhao Ji knew what Zhang Xubai was capable of. He stretched out his wrist and asked, "What's wrong with my body?"

Zhang Xubai was silent for a while, and said: "To tell you the truth, Xiaodao once saw the birthday of the honorable master, and the original life expectancy of the honorable master should only be three months."

"what?!"

Zhao Ji never expected that he only had three months left to live!

Zhang Xubai hurriedly comforted Zhao Ji: "Don't panic, your honor, your fate has changed."

Hearing what Zhang Xubai said, Zhao Ji finally settled down.

——Others may not believe Zhang Xubai's prediction, but how could Zhao Ji, who is already a neighbor of Yelu Yanxi, not believe it?

But it was a matter of life and death, Zhao Ji still couldn't help asking Zhang Xubai: "Zhang Hu, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Xubai gave Zhao Ji his pulse and said, "Xiaodao not only saw the birthday portrait for Zunjia, but also Mrs. Zheng. Xiaodao clearly remembered that Mrs. Zheng should have passed away five years ago. I don't want to, Mrs. Zheng The lady lived five years longer."

After a pause, Zhang Xubai looked at Zhao Ji's face again and said: "Xiaodao had never seen Mrs. Zheng before, and she didn't know that her fate had changed, so he didn't take this matter to heart. It wasn't until yesterday that Mrs. Zheng was alive that Xiaodao didn't Knowing that Mrs. Zheng's fate has changed, I found an opportunity today to revisit the life appearance for Zunjia. I don't want to, Zunjia's fate has also changed. Xiaodao doesn't know the reason, so I want to join the line of Zunjia to see if it is true. Xiao Dao’s practice has regressed, and he is no longer sure about the longevity of the nobleman.”

After Zhang Xubai got Zhao Ji's pulse, he said with a smile: "Your Excellency has a good cultivation, and his body is no different from that of a mature man."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xubai asserted: "Ride this body with respect, if there is no accident, it should be a person with a long life."

The historical "Song Xuanhe Legacy" records: Tianjuan three years, through summer and winter, the emperor was very sick, did not eat for ten days, and no longer had medicine.For those who are sick, just take tea and eat the seeds and then heal.The emperor also went to the emperor's place... Asked about the customs, Naiyun said: "There is no place to bury the body. The dead must be burned with fire, and half of them will be hit with a stick, and thrown into the state stone pit, so this water can be used as lamp oil. Before the words were over, the guardian was already in the White House, and five or seven people from the other land were led into the pit, and they all went to the emperor with water.

That is to say, the book "Xuanhe Legacy of the Great Song Dynasty" records that the people of the Kingdom of Jin roasted Zhao Ji's body on the fire for several days and nights, and poured the corpse oil made from Zhao Ji's body into a small puddle.

In addition to the records in "The Legacy of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty", Tao Zongyi's "Nancun Zhuigenglu" also has the following records.

"Nancun Zhuigonglu": The two tombs are empty, there is a section of decayed wood in Huiling, and there is a wooden lantern in Qinling.

What this means is that the demon monk Yang Lian Zhenjia stole the tombs of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan. Yang Lian Zhenjia thought he would make a fortune, but he never thought that there was nothing in the tombs of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, and Zhao Ji's coffin contained only A piece of rotten wood.

How did Zhao Ji die in history, why was the golden man burned his body to refine oil after his death, and why Zhao Huan died without a whole body, because Zhao Gou was worried about his family's ugliness and troubles, so he didn't fight for his father and brothers , The matter died down like this, and future generations have no way of knowing.

But with Zhao Ji's character of cultivating Taoist Kung Fu and focusing on health preservation, he shouldn't die in his 50s.

You know, it is recorded in the history books that Zhao Ji gave birth to six sons and eight daughters in the Kingdom of Jin. If this is true, then Zhao Ji's body is definitely in bad shape, and he should never have died early.

Of course, living in the bitter and cold Northeast, and being tortured physically and mentally by the Jinren, it is not impossible for Zhao Ji to have a short life.

Furthermore, the political environment at that time was that Wanyan Quan, who was under the control of the main peace faction, wanted to negotiate peace with the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were a major obstacle to the peace negotiation (Zhao Gou definitely did not want Zhao Ji or Zhao Huan to live Back to the Southern Song Dynasty), the key point is that now that peace is negotiated, Zhao Gou has to take his parents back from the Kingdom of Jin, otherwise he will be charged with unfilial piety...

Hearing Zhang Xubai say that he was going to die, and now he will be a long-lived person, also a cultivator, Zhao Ji of course understands that there is only one possibility for this situation, that is, someone changed his fate.

Zhao Ji subconsciously asked, "Who changed my life?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhao Ji realized that the person who could change the life of the former emperor could never be an ordinary person, and ordinary people cannot afford such a huge cause and effect.

Combined with the experience that Queen Mother Zheng lived for five years longer.

The answer is about to come out.

Seeing that Zhao Ji had come to his senses, Zhang Xubai naturally felt that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Ji looked around and saw that there was indeed no one around, so he lowered his voice and asked Zhang Xubai: "Zhang Hu, because of our friendship for many years, tell me the truth, can I, Mrs. Zhao, return?" Is there a chance to stand up?"

Zhang Xubai was silent for a long time, then he let out a long sigh, and then said to Zhao Ji: "The Zhao family originally had eight dynasties and 150 years, but the fate has changed, and now the Zhao family's fate is fixed, and there is no possibility of continuing to survive." .”

Zhang Xubai knew that what he said might hurt Zhao Ji.

But in order to prevent Zhao Ji from doing stupid things and seeking his own death, Zhang Xubai still told Zhao Ji that he would never say anything.

"Is there really no chance of revival?"

Zhao Ji fell into a slump in an instant, as if he had lost all vitality.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was hit so hard, Zhang Xubai sighed leisurely, and said: "Originally, the Great Song Dynasty was divided into two. Even if the remaining eight dynasties are not cut off, they should still sit for the descendants of the Taizu, and have nothing to do with the honor."

Hearing such a secret, Zhao Ji's heart was shaken, and he subconsciously asked: "Is this true?"

Zhang Xubai knew that if he didn't persuade Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji would not give up, so he dipped his hand in the wine and wrote on the table: "The cliffs and the seaside, neither emperor nor immortal. [-], in the year of Wan Si. Eleven At the end of the small month of divination, there is no strength to return to the sky, and there is no way out. There is no way out, and there is no way out, pointing to the torrent of waves."

Zhao Ji knew that what Zhang Xubai said was the No.20 Four Elephant Prophecy and No.20 Four Elephant Ode in "Tui Bei Tu" about their Zhao Song Dynasty.

Due to the lack of Taoism, Zhao Ji still can't solve it like "the cliff and the seaside, not the emperor but also the immortal".

But "two ninety-eight, in the year of Wan Si", combined with what Zhang Xubai just said, Zhao Ji understood that this "two nine" refers to the fact that the Zhao and Song Dynasties were divided into two, and the emperors of the two dynasties were The nine are probably what Zhang Xubai said, and the remaining eight dynasties will be done by Zhao Kuangyin's lineage. After all, Zhao Guangyi's lineage was all captured, and Zhao Gou had already lost his fertility before he was captured. If you want to continue the country and society of the Zhao Song Dynasty, you can only find someone from Zhao Kuangyin's line to inherit it; and this "four eighth" represents that the Zhao Song Dynasty should have had 320 years.

"Eleven divination person Xiaoyueend" is combined into the character "Zhao" (it is the traditional character of "Zhao").

The Zhao Song Dynasty was established by the Zhao family, and it is obvious what "Zhao Zhong" represents.

As for "fighting everywhere, there is no way out, pointing out the torrents and huge waves", it should represent the way they ended the Zhao Song Dynasty, but Zhao Ji couldn't answer the specifics.

But it doesn't matter, because Zhao Ji has confirmed that what Zhang Xubai said must be true.

"The atmosphere of demons is still not peaceful, so we sweep north to look at the imperial capital. Different surnames set up the dynasty and end the state, and the fortune teller goes south."

Zhao Ji muttered to himself the part about himself in "Tui Bei Tu".

Zhao Ji understood that the Zhao family was really powerless, and the Zhao Song Dynasty was really dead.

After a long while, Zhao Ji asked Zhang Xubai unwillingly: "Zhang Hu, tell me the truth, Li Cun is really more suitable for this country than me?"

Looking at Zhao Ji who still didn't give up, Zhang Xubai replied without any hesitation: "If the world is peaceful, it's all right to honor you as the king. If there are troubled times, it will be the blessing of the world if your majesty is the king."

Zhao Ji understood that Zhang Xubai had already saved him a lot of face, otherwise Zhang Xubai would definitely say that Li Cun is more suitable to be emperor than him.

Zhao Ji knew that Zhang Xubai would not lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him as a prisoner.

In this way, no matter whether Zhao Ji is willing or not, he has to fully accept the fact that their Zhao family has no chance to stand up again.

……

Two days later, the train to Beijing returned from Beijing two hours earlier without any surprises.

Those who followed the train to Beijing to participate in the experiment talked with the people who picked them up enthusiastically about what they had seen and heard along the way as soon as they got off the train.

Many people also brought back specialties from Tokyo and Beijing.

This is enough to prove that the Dagan Dynasty really had a huge capacity to travel between the north and the south in three days, and this huge capacity was hardly affected by the weather.

The officials of the Daqian Dynasty were very excited, because this meant that the territory far away from the center was easy to govern.

The people are also very excited, because it means that they want to visit relatives far away or do business conveniently in the future.

However, the most exciting ones are those merchants with sensitive business sense. What they see in their eyes is no longer the railway, but a huge source of income.

It can even be said that some merchants have already begun to think about what to transport by train to Beijing to sell in order to maximize their profits, and what to transport from Beijing to Nanjing to double the huge profits?
Soon, some people went to the newly established Ministry of Railways of the Dagan Dynasty to inquire whether the train was leased to the private sector, and if it was leased to the private sector, how much was the rent?
Let’s not mention how this huge business opportunity brought about by technology will develop after all.

It's just that these people who went to Beijing brought back a piece of news that was destined to have a great impact!

——Wanyan Wu Qimai, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, passed away half a month ago.

Previously, because Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongfu and other relatives and nobles were worried that Wanyan Wu Qimai's eldest son Wanyan Zongpan would snatch the throne, Wanyan Zonggan, who was the first to know the news of Wanyan Wu Qimai's death, was not in the first place. It was time to announce the news of Wanyan Wu's begging to buy and die, but it was kept secret. It was not until Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongfu led troops to the Huining Mansion in Shangjing and surrounded the Huining Mansion in Shangjing that Wanyan Zongqian was ready to announce Wanyan Quan Succession to the throne.

——Wanyan Quan's biological father is Wanyan Aguda's eldest son, Wanyan Zongjun, and Wanyan Zongqian is Wanyan Aguda's eldest son and also Wanyan Quan's adoptive father.

But Wanyan Zongpan is not a vegetarian either.

Or it can be said that Wanyan Wu Qimai couldn't bear to ruin the lives of his descendants with his own hands.

Therefore, when Wanyan Wu Qimai was still alive, Wanyan Zongpan was promoted by Wanyan Wu Qimai to become Hulubo, who was extremely fierce in national opinion, and took charge of the "Central Army" of the Kingdom of Jin.

Moreover, there are Wanyan Zongjun and Wanyanchang who hold military power to support Wanyan Zongpan.

All in all, the strength of the two factions in Huining Mansion in Shangjing is actually almost the same. When it comes to fighting, it is really not sure who will win.

Later, Wanyan Zongpan took the initiative to find Wanyan Zongqian and Wanyan Zongfu and expressed that he was willing to abide by Wanyan Wu's decision to beg for money and support Wanyan Quan's ascension to the throne, but hoped that Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongfu would join him in dealing with Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zongpan told Wanyan Zongqian and Wanyan Zongfu that this was not only to avenge his father Wanyan Wu begging for money, but also for the sake of the new king Wanyan Quan.

When Wanyan Zonghan beat Wanyan Wu begging for money back then, it was not so much hitting Wanyan Wu begging for money as it was hitting the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin in the face.

The key point is that over the years, Wanyan Zonghan has always relied on his great achievements and strength to be domineering and domineering, completely disregarding the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin.

The key point, calm down and think about it, Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongfu can also think that if they don't take this opportunity to abolish Wanyan Zonghan and let Wanyan Zonghan make Wanyan Quan the new king, since Wanyan Zonghan is now almost in charge of the Kingdom of Jin With the huge strength of one-third of the army, Wanyan Zonghan will definitely control the government. At that time, not only Wanyan Quan will be controlled by Wanyan Zonghan, but they will also be under Wanyan Zonghan.

More importantly, in terms of blood relationship, whether it is Wanyan Aguda's sons Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongjun, or Wanyan Wu's begging son Wanyan Zongpan, even if it is Wanyanchang, the blood relationship between them They are all closer than Wanyan Zonghan, so of course they don't want to be controlled by Wanyan Zonghan, an "outsider".

Therefore, the family members Xungui of Wanyan Aguda and the family members Xungui of Wanyan Wu Qimai jointly controlled Wanyan Zonghan.

It was also Wanyan Zonghan's carelessness, in order to rush to fight for power, the soldiers and horses he brought this time were really too few.

As a result, Wanyan Zonghan was jointly controlled by Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyanchang and others.

Soon, with the support of Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyanchang and others, Wanyan Quan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor as Jin Xizong.

After Wanyan Quan came to the throne, Wanyan Zonghan was immediately removed from the post of Guolun Youbojilie and Marshal of the capital, and was reassigned as Taibao, Shangshuling, and Chief of the Three Provinces. He was named King of Jin and ranked under Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zonggan.

Not only that, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyanchang and others also quickly attacked the generals under Wanyan Zonghan, those who were dismissed from office, and those who were promoted and surrendered secretly. Almost completely losing his military power, Wanyan Zonghan, who once had all the power in the court and even the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, was completely ignored.

The great internal strife in the Kingdom of Jin has officially kicked off...

At the same time, Li Cun's great fortune has officially started...
