Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 548 Interesting follow-up

"Congratulations to Commander Hu Biao, and congratulations to all the members of the Xuange Battalion. In the last stage of this mission, all the goals that the system must meet have been achieved or exceeded.

The system officially announces that this task has been successfully completed.

All surviving personnel can choose to return to the system space immediately.

If you want to stay longer, the time must not exceed two hours; after two hours, the survivors will be forcibly sent back..."

When the above-mentioned voice sounded in the head.

In Hu Biao's heart, he immediately let go of some last worries.

What the hell!If it was true that the trio of Lao Hei in the northwest region had gone wrong and the mission was not fully completed, no matter which five unlucky ones were wiped out and could not be resurrected, then the fun would be great.

Fortunately, such a worst result did not appear in the end.

Then, with an extremely positive tone, the guy yelled, "System, we choose to stay here."

In fact, as early as more than an hour ago, Hu Biao and others sent all the guards around them out of the room under the pretext that a group of them had important matters to discuss.

And their group of surviving netizens, except for Zhanxiang and Fengrui, brought the spoils they were going to bring back, as well as various materials and items they were going to leave behind.

A group of eight people all stayed in Yanjing Imperial Palace, in a heavily guarded side hall.

It can be considered that all the preparations for returning to the modern plane have been done early.

But even if they were ready, it didn't affect Hu Biao and others at all, making the decision to stay in the mission world for another two hours.

The main reason was that they needed to leave some time for Lao Hei, Dayu, and Wu Zu who were still in the northwest region to prepare for their next return.

The premise is that the current three buddies are still alive.

As for Zhan Xiang and Feng Rui, of course they had already returned to the camp outside Yanjing City, where the Yanshan Divine Army was stationed.

They need to disappear from the camp, so that they are more in line with the follow-up plans formulated in advance to break the feudal superstition.

In short, based on the above ideas, Hu Biao and his group continued to stay in the room, waiting patiently for the last two hours to run out.

What they didn't expect was that during the last two hours they stayed in the mission world, some very interesting things that were very relevant to them were happening and fermenting...

First, in Kaifeng City, which is about [-] miles away from Yanjing City.

Du Baojun, who is currently working as a commercial secretary and official, even though his face was obviously drunk, he still staggered to his feet and held up a full wine glass in his hand.

With the loudest voice in his mouth, he roared loudly:

"My lords, let us drink this cup to the full, for my Great Song Dynasty to rule the world from now on, for the virtuousness of Her Majesty Empress Maode, for the unrivaled feats made by Hu Yitong and other ministers, and for the coming prosperity, congratulations~"

In Du Baojun's mouth, the word "he" with a long voice was the exit.

At this moment, he was on the third floor of Deyue Tower, and all the men and women who knew or didn't know each other on the huge floor shouted together:
"For the Great Song Dynasty, for Empress Maode, for Hu Yitong and other ministers, for the prosperous age, congratulations~"

When they yelled such a sentence, these people, like Du Baojun, had extreme fanaticism on their faces.

And after such a voice was transmitted, it appeared on the street outside the building, in the alleys of all sizes in the city, in some deep mansions and some low-rise private houses.

Some echoing voices with similar content also came from farther and farther away.

All of a sudden, it was as if the entire Kaifeng city were shouting the same sentence; they were in the same carnival mood as Du Baojun.

In fact, the situation is actually similar.

Although it is already late at night in Kaifeng City, such a city suddenly seems to have become a city that never sleeps.

I don't know how many people walked out of the house, filled up the large and small wine shops in the city, and began to drink happily.

Or on the street, with lanterns on, walking around with excitement and fanaticism on their faces, and cheers from their mouths.

Or put countless krathongs all over canals, big and small, as if letting the stars in the sky fall into the world.

The above methods and practices are all for the purpose of venting the extremely intense emotions in their hearts.

The reason for this was this afternoon.

When Li Qianshun, the puppet emperor of the Xixia people, received the latest news from the Yanjing battlefield; some envoys also returned to Kaifeng city with the victory report written by the Northern Expedition army, as well as small and big news.

When the envoy entered the city, he patted his horse and galloped towards the palace on Mashi Street.

While in his mouth, he yelled news of 'Yanjing City Great Victory', 'The Great Army Slays Yan Wu to Beg for Buy', 'Yanjing City's Restoration' and so on.

Immediately, the entire city of Kaifeng fell into a carnival.

I have always been worried that if the Northern Expeditionary Army is defeated, all the good life at present will come to naught; or the common people who have deep hatred with the Jin people.

Crying, laughing, and using all kinds of crazy ways, I started to celebrate.

It was under such circumstances that Du Baojun, who was in high spirits, made an appointment with three or five friends tonight, came to the 'Deyue Tower' and started drinking.

After bursts of cheers reached his ears, the wine in Du Baojun's glass hadn't been drunk at that time, and he seemed to be even more drunk.

Because in the previous time, even in some of his most daring dreams, he never thought that Da Song could win such a hearty victory.

With even more joy than in the bridal chamber back then, Du Baojun drank the full glass of wine in one gulp.

He took out an ingot of gold from his pocket, threw it at a singer in the field, and yelled out another sentence:
"How can there be no music without good wine? Give me a song "Storm of the Wolf"~"

Talk!This "Storm of the Wolf" is a song that has become popular in recent days, and it swept the entire Kaifeng city as soon as it appeared.

The main reason is not only the person who sang first, but Li Shishi, a legendary oiran.

Most importantly, it is said that the lyrics and music of this "Storm of the Wolf" were written by Yu Hanfeng, the commander of Jin Yiwei.

And there is a good story between Li Shishi and Commander Yu.

In this way, it can be said that it satisfies all the fantasies of gossip, and with the content that is very different from the current lyrics and tunes, it is very normal for it to become popular.

In the following time, when the melodious tunes and singing were sung, Du Baojun and others became more wanton.

However, the reaction above Du Baojun is considered to be the most mainstream and most popular reaction in Kaifeng City, so it is not surprising at all...

Second, in the luxurious mansions in the imperial city, there are some officials above the fifth rank of the Song court.

After the clear cheers in their ears continued to reach their ears, the expressions on these people's faces were terribly calm in comparison.

In different mansions, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are currently discussing different things.

It can even be described as completely opposite to each other.

For example: in the mansion of Huang Qianshan, a scholar of Longtuge University, this treacherous prime minister in the early Southern Song Dynasty in history, at this moment, with a serious face, said to the people around him:
"Everyone, the Zhao family let down the orphans and widows of the Chai family and made a farce of 'adding a yellow robe'. Deguo was originally unrighteous.

Coupled with the ugly appearance of Zhao Heng and his son in the shame of Jingkang, how could Zhao Fujin be qualified to sit on top of the great treasure? "

Having said that, he cupped his hands in the direction of Yanjing City, and after making a gesture of worship from afar, he continued:
"Hu Yitong and Hu Xiang are not the same; I have heard that he had the appearance of a dragon and a tiger when he dived into the abyss, and when Jingkang was humiliated, it was a tragedy that saved me from planting flowers in Shenzhou Luchen.

Since ancient times, the world's artifacts and virtuous people have lived there. It is simply unreasonable for Hu Xiang not to be crowned a great treasure.

Therefore, before I immediately co-sign and submit a secret memorial to persuade Hu Xiang to return from the Northern Expedition, I will prepare to be honored as a great treasure.

Xu Feng, Lao Snake and the others should also be crowned kings~"

After hearing such a statement, all the officials around nodded their heads in agreement, and it seemed a little like they were united.

But don't look at the awe-inspiring appearance of these guys, in fact, they are just some speculators.

Seeing that the current situation is so clear, they plan to flatter Hu Biao and others, so that they can get the great merit of a minister of the dragon.

Just after nodding, a fifth-rank official from the Ministry of Rites hesitated for a moment, and still raised his concerns:

"In my opinion, Hu is very respectful to Empress Maude on weekdays, as if he has no idea of ​​becoming a great treasure in his heart; if we rush to write a letter, Hu Xiang is unwilling to do so, wouldn't it be a double-sided thing?"

After hearing such a statement, Huang Qianshan's face was full of disdain.

Of course, such a disdainful expression is definitely not for Hu Yitong and Hu Xiang. Even if he killed this grandson, he would not dare to do such a thing, even if it was behind his back.

But for this little official from the Ministry of Rites, this guy who doesn't know much about the news.

In the ensuing time, Huang Qianshan still lowered his voice in mystery, and told everyone a secret that he had mastered:

"Do you know where Hu Xiang and the others lived after entering Yanjing City?
Let me tell you, I just lived in the imperial palace, stayed overnight in the false emperor’s dragon bed that Wanyan Wu begged to buy, and spoiled the six imperial concubines in one breath, which is different from ordinary people~”

After hearing such a gossip that was rumored in the market, but actually did not exist at all, the eyes of everyone present brightened, and they all let go of all their worries.

At the beginning, he discussed and wrote a memorabilia of persuasion with his flying literary talents.

Anyway, they decided that even if they staged another scene of "adding the yellow robe", they would also let Hu Xiang ascend the Great Treasure, so that their success as a dragon would be confirmed...

The third is in the yard next door to Huang Qianshan.

A well-known Confucian who was considered famous in the current world was writing a book; and beside him, many people were looking at this memorial that was taking shape.

As for who is the target of the memorial in his hand?It's no longer Hu Biao, but Queen Maude.

The content in it can be said to be completely opposite to Huang Qianshan and others; it is actually accusing Hu Biao, a traitor, who dared to sleep in the dragon bed in Yanjing overnight and messed up the palace.

His wolf ambition has reached the point where everyone knows Sima Zhaozhi's heart.

Therefore, in the memorial, they suggested that Queen Maode should make some arrangements as soon as possible while Hu Yitong was away with the army.

Once Hu Biao and others come back, first find a way to reduce his wings, lift him up, and then execute this rebellious minister and traitor.

The great idea is that it has some credit for destroying the Kingdom of Jin, and it is enough to bury him generously; and in such a process on the side of the Qing emperor, they are willing to do the same.

In short, under the gorgeous rhetoric in the whole memorial, it seems that this guy is so righteous.

But in essence, these people are actually horrified to find that in the current Song court, they have been severely marginalized.

What's more serious is that they faintly saw some ideas of Hu Biao and his group intending to suppress their aristocratic and wealthy families.

Combining all the above, people who think they have a mortal enmity with Hu Biao naturally want to kill Hu Biao and the others...

*****
In short, when the news of the complete victory of the Northern Expedition came back, a small group of people in Kaifeng City began to plan for their own interests.

Unexpectedly, in just one night, not only did they write beautiful memorials, but they even had related action plans.

The key to the problem is the subsequent development.

Or it could be said that the decision of Hu Biao and others was beyond their imagination.

After daybreak, the guards who had been standing guard all night outside the room of Hu Biao and others felt something was wrong.

After shouting a few times outside the door and finding no movement inside, the guard company commander decisively pushed the door open.

But he was horrified to find that all the gentlemen in the room had disappeared under their guards so tight that not even a mouse could slip in.

But the strange thing is that there is no trace of fighting in the room.

The swords, weapons, and armor of the princes were still left in the room.

More importantly, on a large table in the room, there was almost a table full of notebooks, manuscripts and other items; on these, a total of many letters were left.

The content on the envelope reads:

"Passed by Yue Fei", "Secrets from Her Majesty Empress Maode", "Passed by Ma Kuo", "Letter to the Army and the People of the Great Song Dynasty".

Seeing the inscriptions on these envelopes, the company commander of the guard, who had already made a bold guess in his heart, immediately unsheathed his men's swords and guns.

The hammer of the short blunderbuss in the hand is also pulled up, so that this weapon is in a state where it can be fired at any time.

After repeatedly explaining to his subordinates that anyone who wanted to approach here except himself would be killed on the spot, he rushed to invite Yue Fei.

This is the deputy prime minister of the Song Dynasty, the deputy privy envoy of the Privy Council, the deputy commander-in-chief of the new army, and the governor of Xiangzhou.

After hearing the news, Yue Fei immediately murmured in his heart that it was not good, because if the incident of Hu Yitong's sudden disappearance was counted when they fled from Pingzhou to Dengzhou by boat.

This is the second time this has happened to me.

After hastily arriving at the palace, he first opened the scroll of the 'Report to the Song Dynasty Army and Civilians'.

After opening it, Hu Xianggong's beautiful handwriting was already in sight; the content in it was similar to Yue Fei's guess.

Ignoring Hu Biao's poor prose proficiency, the meaning is roughly like this:
In the letter, Hu Biao said that these people were originally like idle clouds and wild cranes, and they didn't pay much attention to power, status, wealth and honor.

At the beginning, they didn't see me planting flowers in such a catastrophe, so they bit the bullet and stood up.

During this process, they were also cautious as if they were walking on thin ice, for fear of making a wrong step.

Fortunately, my flower-growing ancestors blessed me, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty fought hard, and the people fully supported the production. This is the result of today's achievements.

Now that the main force of the Jurchens is gone, the strength and prestige of the new army of the Song Dynasty is at its peak.

As long as Yue Fei continues to advance with the army, he will be able to recover all the old places of the Han family outside the pass; then the army will turn around and join forces with Ma Kuo, and the little Xixia can also go down with one blow.

Even after the army has been reorganized for a while, and then continues to march westward, it will be able to retake the Western Regions and restore the territory of the Song Dynasty to the size of the Han and Tang Dynasties

So it has come to the present, and it is also the time when the group of them can retire with success.

From then on, the group of them will go boating overseas and wander the world.

Don't try to find them, because they will only appear again when Zhonghua is invaded by foreigners again and is on the verge of life and death.

After reading it in a hurry, this is the "Book to the Song Dynasty Army and People".

Even in Yue Fei's heart, he already had some psychological preparations; but for Hu Xianggong and others, they are so not greedy for power and wealth, and they are so eager to retreat.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh:
"Mr. Hu, and all the gentlemen have noble morals, and my Yue Pengju is far inferior~"

In the following time, Yue Fei opened up the letter that said 'Yue Fei's personal letter', held it in his hand and read it carefully.

Yue Fei and Grandpa Yue read it so carefully because the content of Hu Biao's letter was all dry stuff.

For example, in the process of governing in the future, some general direction suggestions.

Also, how to cooperate with Nama Kuo and some officials they trained and promoted; to implement some new policies that have proved to be effective.

After reading this letter, because of different life experiences.

Now there has been a huge change in thinking, Yue Fei and Grandpa Yue, who have changed from being loyal to the emperor to being loyal to the nation and the people, have gained a huge harvest in their hearts.

In the end, the letters of "Report to the Army and the People of the Great Song Dynasty" and "Empress Maode's Personal Invitation", as well as some notebooks and materials, were sent back to Kaifeng City by a battalion of cavalry.

It is not known exactly what was written in the letter of "Queen Maude's personal letter".

All I know is that Her Majesty the Empress sat alone in the imperial garden for a whole day.

However, after the "Letter to the Army and the People of the Great Song Dynasty" was published in the "Da Song Times" without changing the word, it immediately caused a huge commotion.

Various versions of guesses and comments began to circulate among the people from this day, and lasted for a long time.

And those smart people who wear the 'yellow robe plus body', or 'Qingjun's side', it is only at this time that they discover their various plans, what a joke.

correct!In the message of Hu Biao and others, it only said that they went out to sea by boat.

But in the letter left by Feng Rui and Zhan Xiang, it clearly stated that he had gone back to heaven.

And I emphasized in the message that there will definitely be magic sticks pretending to be them in the future, so when encountering such people, they directly use the firecracker to their foreheads and fire.

Or the grenades and explosives were pulled apart and thrown at their feet.

If he didn't die, then it was true; if he died on the spot, then he died.

Regarding this point, the believers of the three national teachers firmly believe in it; so in the future, they will only leave behind legends.

However, Hu Biao and others who have returned to the space-time channel are completely ignorant of all the above.
