In April, the Central Plains is already in the early summer season, with flowers in full bloom and green trees, while the rivers in the far north have just been opened and the land has just thawed, but people are already busy plowing the land and preparing for spring sowing. A middle-aged man with a crooked illness sat alone on the mound at the edge of the field, staring blankly at the busy crowd without saying a word, and sighing from time to time.

"Alas, providence makes people..."Watching the old man in the field stumbling and following the footsteps of the ploughing ox, the person who led the ox was busy like an old monkey with his tail chopped off, who would have thought that a few years ago they were still the rulers of the dynasty above 10,000 people under the Great Song Dynasty, the middle-aged man sighed again.

"Your Majesty, drink some water!" Just as the man sighed for a long time, a woman came over and put down a bundle of firewood and grass on her back, held a bowl of water and said, although the woman's face was haggard, but her clothes were neat, her hair was coiled behind her head and strung with a wooden hairpin meticulously, and her face was still very delicate under careful inspection.

"Silence, let Sumire hear that she is going to be whipped again!" When the man heard this, he quickly covered the woman's mouth with his hand, and hurriedly looked left and right and said.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, those people are also busy patrolling around, urging spring ploughing to go, no longer here!" The woman chuckled and took the man's hand and said, but her heart was extremely bitter, the Emperor Jingkang of the Great Song Dynasty who had once punished the six thieves with an iron fist had become a frightened bird under the intimidation of the Jurchens, and lived in fear all day long, but he was only thirty-six years old this year, but he was already born early, and he looked like a drooping old man.

"Ai Fei, the wild geese are returning to the north, but we are getting farther and farther away from the Central Plains, and I don't know when we will return to the south!" Zhao Huan breathed a sigh of relief and heard the sound of geese chirping in the air. Looking up, holding the woman's hand, he looked up to the sky and sighed. Since the northbound journey, he was escorted to Jin Shangjing and carried out the 'sheep ceremony', and was demoted to the post of Marquis of Chongdu. After several migrations, he was sent to a small city in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, the Five Kingdoms City, which was the place where the Jurchens rose. Now it has become a high-level prison, where the two emperors of Song and Liao are imprisoned.

There were more than 2,000 people from Zhao Huan's journey from Bianjing, and many of them died, fled, were taken away by the Jurchens, and were rescued by the Song army, and there were only more than 100 people left by him when they arrived in Shangjing. When moving to the city of the Five Kingdoms, the Jurchens only allowed the concubines of the second emperor, direct princes, concubines, and close ministers to accompany them. Although Zhao Huan was given a title, it was obviously not to praise them, but to insult them, and it was impossible for them to enjoy the treatment of a real prince. After that, one bucket of rice was given every month. A bundle of salaries, and a monthly salary of 1,000, most of them were pocketed by the people who took care of him, and they could only survive by cultivating the dozens of hectares of land allocated to them by the Jurchens, and the situation was miserable and embarrassing, and he had to go to the fields to help when the farm was busy.

The emperor became a farmer, the prime minister He Su was the one who took the ox in the field, the privy envoy Sun Fu who supported the plough, and the woman in front of him was Zhu Shen, one of Zhao Huan's concubines, and many women around him in the past were divided by the Jurchens. There were only a few close concubines left, and when the queen arrived in Shangjing, she recalled the insults she had suffered on the way, as well as the humiliation when she offered her prisoners. She found a rope and hanged herself and was rescued, but she still refused to survive and finally threw herself into the water and died. It's still cold in the north, and they're thinly clothed. Zhao Huan often couldn't sleep at night, so she had to find some firewood and thatch to keep warm.

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that last year, I was negotiating peace with the Jurchens. The second brother is benevolent, righteous and filial, and will never abandon us. Will try to redeem us. Concubine Zhu De keenly felt the distress in her husband's heart, and suppressed the misery in her heart and said with relief.

"The old wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom has died, and the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, this matter may have changed, and the return may be far away!" Zhao Huan said leisurely, these days he has written a mourning message, and also wrote a congratulatory table to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, but the Jin Kingdom has not reacted at all, how can he reward some food and other things in the past, and the lack of response for a long time makes him feel bad.

"Your Majesty, the reunion of husband and wife and children is a blessing, Di Cai is now pregnant again, it is also a good thing to add people to my family!" Zhao Huan's words were like a bolt from the blue to Concubine Zhu Defei, but she quickly realized that the most important thing at the moment was to comfort her husband, and she forced a smile and pointed to a pregnant woman with a big belly who came over like them.

"Your Majesty, Sister Concubine De, the soldiers who were transferred to the winter have all returned, it seems..." Di Cairen said in a panic when he came over.

"Speak slowly, don't rush, what the hell is going on?" Concubine Zhu Defei pulled her to sit beside her and asked her to take a breath.

"The concubine just arrived in the city and wanted to exchange the embroidered two handkerchiefs for some money, but I heard that the people in the city were talking about it, it seems that I had a big war with the Jin Kingdom last year, and the front was tight and the soldiers guarding us were transferred to support, I heard that a lot of deaths were killed, and the concubine didn't dare to go again and hurried back!" After arriving at the Five Kingdoms City, the Jin State arranged two Meng'an men and horses outside the city to guard the city, and there were no strict restrictions on their movements, and they could move around the city freely, because the Jin army also knew that the road was in the far north of the Five Kingdoms City, and it was impossible for them to escape back to the Southern Dynasty without transportation.

"Aren't the two countries making peace, why are they fighting again?" Zhao Huan's face was like ashes when he heard this, and the little hope that still existed in his heart also drifted away, and he was stupid as if he had been knocked with a stick.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The two women saw Zhao Huan's face change dramatically, and they were stunned and silent, and Sun Fu and others, who were cultivating the land nearby, also hurriedly abandoned their tools and ran over, and a group of people pinched people again, and patted their chests and backs, Zhao Huan finally eased up.

"There is no time to return to the country..."Zhao Huan shouted and cried, he was still holding Jin Guo hostage, but King Yan fought with Jin Guo, it must be how to go back if the peace talks broke down!

"Alas, I have long heard of the war between the two countries, and I have never been sure, it seems to be true!" At this time, Cai Xuan, the commander of the horses, shook his head and sighed, because he married the princess, he escaped the fate of being exiled with his father and brother, but he did not escape the invasion of the Jurchens and was plundered here with the emperor.

"What's the news? It can't be that the Jurchens broke the capital again, right? He Su hurriedly asked.

"Come on, is it possible that the heavens are dead and my Great Song Dynasty is unwilling to leave the legacy of the Zhao clan?" Zhao Huan also stopped crying and urged.

"On the contrary, King Yan defeated the Jurchens!" Cai Huan shook his head and said with a wry smile, Zhao Huan has always refused to recognize Zhao Ta as the emperor, so that everyone is still called King Yan, and they can only follow him, "When the envoy of the Jin Kingdom came to inform the old wolf lord of the death, I heard the Han entourage among them privately say that the King of Yan secretly dispatched a large army to capture Yanjing City and Pingzhou under the cover of peace negotiations, killed the third prince Zongfu, captured the prison army Gushen, killed the general Yinshuke, annihilated the 300,000 Jin army on the East Road, and the fourth prince Wushu was nowhere to be found, and then captured Dading Mansion with the power of great victory. If it weren't for the heavy snow, it might have hit the capital city, and it is said that the old wolf owner died in a hurry when he heard the news! ”

"Swallow... King Yan is preset to die! Zhao Heng listened to the lamentation, tears fell again, thinking about the second child not only occupied his throne, but also went to war with the Jin State again, killed the prince and beheaded the general, how could the Jurchens give up after such a big hatred, let alone let go of themselves, they are likely to kill themselves for revenge, thinking about the humiliation to be received next, Zhao Huan hated the second child to death.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad, things may have a turnaround!" Cai Xuan saw that Zhao Huan was crying sadly, and several other people were also sad, and said.

"Oh, and the turnaround?! What do you mean by that? Zhao Huan couldn't blame Cai Yun for panting when he heard this, wiped his tears and asked urgently.

"Weichen heard that the Jurchens lost their troops and lost their generals, and caught up with the emperor's new mourning of the young emperor's accession to the throne, and he was worried that our dynasty would take the opportunity to attack again, and intended to send an envoy to sue for peace. If that's the case, we'll be back in the middle! Cai Xuan threw another bombshell.

"That's great!" Zhao Huan immediately became excited when he heard this, and under the big victory, the Jin people asked for peace, and their own side took the initiative, how dare the Jin people refute the conditions proposed.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid King Yan won't agree easily!" Sun Fu didn't have a little joy on his face, looking at the emperor's tearful and extremely happy face, he didn't want to ruin his interest, but after thinking about it, he said.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Huan asked unhappily.

"Your Majesty, if you return to the south, and King Yan has been proclaimed emperor, how will he deal with himself?" Sun Fu looked at everyone, not only the emperor was unhappy, but everyone also blamed, he shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile.

"This..."Zhao Huan was asked all of a sudden, he and the old two were divided and combined, from the beginning of the battle for the position of the East Palace, he fought openly and secretly, and after ascending the throne, he did everything possible to prevent him, even if he repelled the Jin army several times to relieve the siege for him, he still refused to let go, forcing him to cheat to death and go to the northwest. Thinking of this, Zhao Huan regretted it a little, the second child took the initiative to give up the position of prince to himself back then, which is kind to say. If he hadn't been suspicious and difficult in every way, but used him to lead the troops to resist Jin, maybe he wouldn't have suffered here, and now that the situation is reversed, is he willing to redeem himself? Ask yourself, you won't!

"What can I do when I return to the south, after King Yan stole the throne, he reused Li Gang and Zong Ze, gave Zhang Dazai to death, and exiled Geng Shizhong, Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Wu Qi, Mo Yan, Hu Si, Wang Shao, Wang Jizhi, Yan Bowen, Yu Dajun and other old ministers were exiled. Even those who went to the disaster such as us did not let go, cut officials and dismissed knights, confiscated family property, and their children and grandchildren were all driven out of the capital, and they were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination as officials! He Su said gloomily, maybe the Jin people wanted them to stay here with peace of mind, or maybe they were just humiliating them for watching jokes, and they were still very happy to tell this kind of negative news.

"King Yan will repay this person, and he will not let me go!" Zhao Huan's face twitched twice, and he said weakly.

"Heavy faint marquis, and a few of you go back to the residence quickly, my wolf lord has sent someone!" Just when several people were worried and worried, a golden soldier in charge of guarding them ran over and said, Zhao Huan and the others' faces changed, and retribution was here...
