Chapter 2 Transactions
At the beginning of the new year, the twentieth day of the first month of the ninth year of Shaoding, Gao Huaiyuan met a profiteer-like person here when he passed through Zhenjiang Mansion, and Gao Huaiyuan brought him into the post house and talked secretly for a long time, no one knew what they said, in short, it was not until it was dark that the man rolled up his sleeves and walked out with a smile, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. When Gao Huaiyuan stepped into Lin'an City again www.biquge.info the officials and people of the city poured out of Lin'an City, and went out dozens of miles to welcome his return.
Ten miles away from the city, Gao Huaiyuan rode on a horse, and saw a temporary camp set up next to the road from a distance, and a full set of royal honor guards were lined up outside the camp. . .
A young man in a dragon robe stood quietly under the red and yellow Huang Luo umbrella, silently watching his arrival, while a group of civil and military officials were behind him.
Gao Huaiyuan turned over and dismounted, immediately walked a few steps, came to the front of this young man, clasped his hands into fists, knelt down on one knee and shouted to this young man: "Long live my emperor Long live long live the minister Gao Huaiyuan saw how the minister He De could be, and he was actually greeted by the emperor when he went out of the city to greet him, and he really killed Weichen."
Zhao Yurui smiled all over his face, and walked a few steps to Gao Huaiyuan, stretched out his hands to help Gao Huaiyuan up, and said in front of all the officials: "Minister Gao Shu worked tirelessly for my dynasty, regardless of life and death, and led the soldiers of the three armies to finally recover the old land. Come, I have prepared a thin wine, and I will personally pour three glasses of wine for the high cardinal minister, as a tribute to the cardinal minister."
Saying that, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly brought over a jade plate, on which was placed a jade pot full of wine and a jade cup, and knelt in front of Zhao Yurui. Zhao Yurui personally held the pot, poured a cup full of Gao Huaiyuan, and personally brought it to Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan did not shirk, after thanking him, he reached out and took this cup of wine, held it with both hands, looked around, and said loudly: "Today, I Gao Mou received such grace from the saint, it is really my Gao Mou three lives are fortunate, this first cup of wine, but I can't drink this cup of wine, I want to pay tribute to the heroic spirits of those countless soldiers who died in this Northern Expedition on behalf of the saints, I hope that the heroic spirits of these soldiers in the sky can always bless me with the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty."
After saying that, Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand and spilled this glass of wine on the land in front of him...
As Gao Huaiyuan's glass of wine was spilled, the surrounding people suddenly fell silent, silently watching Gao Huaiyuan and the new emperor Zhao Yurui.
Zhao Yurui's expression remained unchanged, and he immediately picked up the jade pot and poured a glass of wine for Gao Huaiyuan...
Gao Huaiyuan raised this glass of wine and shouted again: "This second cup of wine, I salute all the people in the world who have contributed to this Northern Expedition without you, even if I, Gao Huaiyuan and the soldiers of the three armies, have three heads and nine arms, I will never be able to complete such a great cause, so today's glass of wine, I will respect you, please accept it."
With that, he waved the glass of wine and scattered it around. The faces of the onlookers couldn't help but be a little moved, Gao Huaiyuan said this, he was not proud at all, he did not forget these people who supported their military Northern Expedition, so many people's eyes were a little red.
Zhao Yurui's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but think of his brother Zhao Yun in the palace again, but he quickly regained his smile, said hello, and immediately stepped forward to fill a cup for Gao Huaiyuan...
After Gao Huaiyuan thanked Zhao Yurui again, he said loudly: "This third cup of wine, I drank on behalf of the soldiers who accompanied me on the Northern Expedition this time, thank you for the grace of God."
After saying that, Gao Huaiyuan raised his head, drank the glass of wine in one gulp, and then showed the wine glass, thanked Zhao Yurui again, and then put the wine glass back on the jade plate.
When people from all directions saw Gao Huaiyuan drink this glass of wine, they immediately heard an earth-shattering cheer, which was heard dozens of miles away.
Zhao Yurui personally took Gao Huaiyuan's hand and walked into the camp surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials. Gao Huaiyuan also greeted the ministers of the court one by one, and Zhen Dexiu, as the first auxiliary minister, showed a look of embarrassment and shame on his face when he saw Gao Huaiyuan, but he still took the initiative to come forward and greet Gao Huaiyuan.
Glancing over the faces of these ministers, Gao Huaiyuan found many unfamiliar faces, and many of the old faces of the court before he left Beijing were long gone at this time, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and followed Zhao Yurui into the camp.
When all the etiquette was over, Gao Huaiyuan repeatedly excused himself, but was pulled by Zhao Yurui to walk on the royal chariot, and Gao Huaiyuan took a car towards Lin'an City, in order to show the new emperor Zhao Yurui's heart for a hero like Gao Huaiyuan, and also made Gao Huaiyuan once again become the focus of everyone's attention, along the way countless soldiers and ordinary people who came to greet them cheered...
At this time, Gao Huaiyuan finally had the time to be alone with Zhao Yurui.
Zhao Yurui and Gao Huaiyuan sat on the royal chariot and always kept smiling, constantly signaling to the people who welcomed him along the way, Zhao Yurui finally whispered to Gao Huaiyuan: "Brother Gao returned to Beijing this time, where should I go in the future?" โ
Gao Huaiyuan glanced at Zhao Yurui slightly, he hadn't seen Zhao Yurui for several years, and now Zhao Yurui was no longer the little kid who climbed on his lap to play when he was in Shaoxing, and in a trance, he seemed to remember the boyhood with Zhao Yuju again, and couldn't help but sigh softly...
"Yu Rui, you have finally grown up, so don't you hate me for these things I have done? So what are your plans? Gao Huaiyuan continued to maintain his smile, he did not answer Zhao Yurui's question to him, but asked Zhao Yurui in a low voice.
"I'm not my brother, I never thought about being an emperor one day, the reason why I can have such a day, I think Brother Gao already knows the reason
Although this world was created by our Zhao family, after more than 200 years, what have our descendants of the Zhao family done for the world? I don't hate Brother Gao, my brother can have today's fate, but he is to blame, everything is over, and my mother also asked me to bring a message to Brother Gao, hoping that Brother Gao can leave a way for our Zhao family to survive in the future, and don't kill all the heirs of our Zhao family
When the time is ripe, on behalf of our Zhao family, I will give this world to you, Brother Gao, as for how Brother Gao disposes of me, then it is not something I care about" Zhao Yurui continued to slightly gesture to the crowd cheering at them on the side of the road, his expression was very calm, and he said softly to Gao Huaiyuan, as if he was chatting with Gao Huaiyuan intimatelyใใใใใ
Gao Huaiyuan turned his head to look at Zhao Yurui's face, and from his smile and eyes, Gao Huaiyuan saw the deep loneliness in Zhao Yurui's heart.
After listening to Zhao Yurui's words, Gao Huaiyuan didn't speak for a long time, and the two of them fell silent, only listening to the sound of the wheels of the imperial chariot crushing on the road, and the cheers of the overwhelming people.
Zhao Yurui saw that Gao Huaiyuan hadn't answered his question for a long time, his face gradually sank, he turned his head to look at Gao Huaiyuan, and asked Gao Huaiyuan with some disappointment: "Isn't it possible that if I do this, can't I find a way out for our Zhao family?" โ
Gao Huaiyuan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yurui again, the smile on his face gradually put away, and then replied to Zhao Yurui: "Gao thinks that he is not a person who loves to kill and is not a person who is unkind, please tell Lingtang, please rest assured."
After Zhao Yurui got Gao Huaiyuan's reply, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and his nervous expression relaxed.
On the same day, after Gao Huaiyuan returned to Lin'an City with Zhao Yurui, when the palace Gao Huaiyuan was named the king of Jingbei County of the Great Song Dynasty, he became the first foreign surname prince with substantial control in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, and also became the only person in the world who can sit on an equal footing with the emperor.
In this regard, the people's newspaper, which has already controlled the public opinion of the Great Song Dynasty, also made a comprehensive report on the Northern Expedition led by Gao Huaiyuan this time, so that everyone in the world understands why Gao Huaiyuan is trapped in Xuzhou, and at the same time, Zhao Yun's actions in Lin'an City are announced to the public, and the people reverence Gao Huaiyuan to the extreme, and the people can't help but scold Zhao Yun for not being a thing, and at such a time, they want to put Gao Huaiyuan to death, so the prestige of the royal family in the Great Song Dynasty is completely down to the bottom, It has become a joke for the common people after dinner.
