Chapter 1173: Liang Shicheng's idea
Di Lie knelt, Zhao Gou did not kneel, but the one who did not kneel was more influential than the one who knelt, after all, Di Liebao was only Bai Sheng's wife and children, while Zhao Gou was his own mother, and the strength of the two was not the same.
Who can bear to give his mother to others to be humiliated in front of a child? Even the emperor can't just go his own way, this is simply not something that people can do! What's more, Concubine Wei Xian is the favorite concubine of Emperor Zhao Ji, and although he Zhao Heng was not born to Concubine Wei Xian, he can't disrespect his mother.
Immediately afterwards, behind Di Lie, Hulala knelt down again, "The ministers are willing to be given death by the officials!"
What these loyal and righteous men mean is that if you, as the emperor, do such a humiliating thing in front of us people, it is better to kill us first, and we really can't witness this kind of human tragedy.
Di Lie and Zhao Gou and all the loyal ministers and righteous soldiers took Zhao Heng's army, and Zhao Heng was speechless, yes, even if I want to carry this black cauldron, I can't get over the hurdle of so many benevolent and righteous people, I can't really kill them all, right? In that case, even if I save the lives of my father and me, I will not be able to continue to rule the Great Song Dynasty in the future, such an emperor, who can still surrender and sell my life?
For a while, no one on the field spoke, but Cai You, who was silent for a while, said, "What are you doing here? You should always understand that such a strong man in the official family broke his wrist, and it was also the net worth and life of you people who were protected! When this time of crisis, if we can't make a choice, then none of our Great Song monarchs and ministers will be spared!"
It can't be said that Cai You's words are strong, as long as there is no way to repel the Jin soldiers, then there are only two ways in front of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, either everyone dies together, or a very small number of people are abandoned, and the lives of most people can be saved.
Compared with dying together, of course, it is more cost-effective to sacrifice a very few, this is Cai You's reason.
"You courtier, I don't need you to protect my life Zhao Gou!" Zhao Gou was already red-eyed, he didn't dare to beat his father and the emperor's brother, but he dared to beat Cai You, and rushed forward to kick Cai You while speaking, kicking Cai You to the ground.
At this time, Zhao Gou was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, and there was no imperial interest to check and balance, of course he would not abandon his own mother, and it was not over after kicking Cai You, and said angrily, "Why don't you give your mother to Wanyan Zongxian?"
Cai Youxin said that I wanted to send my mother-in-law, but my mother-in-law had already died, and even if my mother-in-law was still alive, it would be an old eyebrow, and if I took a step back, even if my mother-in-law was still young at this time, that appearance was not as good as your mother, Concubine Wei Xian!
Cai Jing next to him couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if you want to say that there is a beautiful woman next to my Lao Cai, better than all the women I have ever had in my life, but people will definitely not serve the people of the Jin country, and my Lao Cai will not move others.
The person Cai Jing thought in his heart was naturally Li Biyun, Li Biyun had followed him for many years, he had naturally seen Li Biyun's appearance, and he was definitely a rare beauty in the world. But Li Biyun has always only been his bodyguard, but he is not allowed to overstep the slightest, and he is not under his control, but when she needs to work, she can only discuss with her.
Things have reached an impasse at this point, seeing that time is slowly passing, the sun is gradually moving west, if you wait until the sun sets, it will be beyond the deadline given by Yan Zongxian, but Zhao Ji is so anxious that he is like an ant on a hot pot, but he has nothing to do with the things in front of him.
When he was in turmoil, he suddenly heard a voice say, "Official, the old minister has a way here, I don't know if it will work." ”
Zhao Ji, who is familiar with this voice, of course knows that the person who spoke is Liang Shicheng, and in the past, whenever he encountered difficulties, Liang Shicheng was always able to provide him with good ideas, which is why Liang Shicheng was able to fight against Tong Guan in the palace.
At this time, when he heard Liang Shicheng's voice, he was immediately overjoyed, and he forgot that the current official family was his son Zhao Heng instead of him, and immediately said, "Liang Qing, talk quickly!"
Everyone looked at Liang Shicheng, but in their hearts they didn't believe that Liang Shicheng could say anything, there were obviously two roads, who could find the third one? Could it be that this Manchu Dynasty civil and military and folk talents are not as good as you Liang Shicheng?
Liang Shicheng didn't dare to slack off, and when he answered, he could take care of the two emperors thoughtfully, so as not to offend any of them" The two officials, the old minister thought that whether it was Concubine Wei Xian or Emperor Maode, or Li Shishi and Qingzhao talent, then Wanyan Zongxian did not know. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all thought yes, these beauties are not seen by anyone even in the Great Song Dynasty, how can he know Yan Zongxian, the coach of the Jin Kingdom?
At this time, everyone already understood that Liang Shicheng's strategy was nothing more than a plan to drop the bag, impersonate him, and confuse the truth with falsehood.
The real Concubine Wei Xian, the real Master Li and the real Zhao Fujin are all protected by someone's life, even if the real Li Qingzhao is also the daughter of Li Gefei, an important minister of the court, how can these women be sent out so easily?
But if these people are replaced by women from ordinary people's families, and they are impersonated and given to Wanyan Zongxian, how can he be able to distinguish the authenticity of Yan Zongxian immediately?
Taking a step back, even if you can't find a beautiful woman from an ordinary people's family for a while, is it okay to replace the palace maid in the palace and the widow of the emperor in the cold palace?
"No, no, no!" Cai You was the first to object, and said, "Then Wanyan Zongxian claims to have read countless women, if he takes some middle-aged women to fill the number, I'm afraid that he will immediately become suspicious, at this time the time is so urgent, where can we go to find some women with national beauty and fragrance to replace?"
"Shut your stinky mouth!" Zhao Gou's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, "If you talk again, believe it or not, this king killed you!"
In this situation, even Zhao Ji and Zhao Heng's father and son did not dare to kill Cai You, but Zhao Gou was already angry, and it was really possible for him to do what he said. Cai You could also judge this, and immediately shut up.
Although Cai You shut up, but what he said did have some truth, Qin Hui took the opportunity to interject, "Weichen also heard it when he was in Yanjing, saying that Yan Zongxian has harmed some Liao women, what Liao queen concubines, ministers' wives and concubines are not a few, this person's vision of women must be high, according to what the minister saw, Liang Taifu has a great plan, but he still has to be cautious, so as not to fall short." ”
Anyway, the method proposed by Liang Shicheng is no longer a way, everyone agrees, even Di Lie, although he still feels that it is a shameful thing to give the Han family woman to Hu Lu in his heart, but he can only shut up, if he protects those irrelevant women, I am afraid that before Yan Zongxian sends troops over, the emperor will have to fight with him first.
After some discussion, Zhao Ji decided to contribute a concubine of his brother Zhao Xi in the cold palace to replace Concubine Wei Xian, this concubine is similar in age to Concubine Wei Xian, and she was known as a famous person in the past, but because she is Zhao Xi's widow, Zhao Ji can't touch it even if she covets it, and has been guarding the widow in the cold palace.
Now although Zhao Ji has become the emperor, but the concubines and palace maids in the palace are still his, Zhao Heng has just ascended the throne for less than a day, if he can keep the throne, he can naturally draft beauties to fill the palace in the future, but at present, Zhao Ji still has absolute power in the matter of dominating concubines and palace maids, of course he is reluctant to let his concubines be ravaged by the Jin people, so he wants to replace his brother's widow.
However, even so, it is very difficult to find beauties to replace Master Li and Zhao Fujin, and the only few people in the palace who are slightly inferior to them at this time are all emperors, of course it is not possible to exchange emperors for emperors, emperors are all his biological daughters, even if they favor one over the other, it can't be too much.
If you can't replace it with the emperor, there are only palace maids, but if those palace maids talk about appearance, they are too far from the level of Zhao and Li's two daughters, and they are not worthy of being called glamorous crowns or Tianzi at all.
The palace maids can't do it, and neither can the women in the cold palace, because the age of these women is seriously inconsistent with the two daughters of Zhao and Li, Bai Sheng's wife can't be the age of Concubine Wei Xian, right? If these half-old are sent out, I am afraid that they will be ganged up on the spot.
Therefore, even if Zhao Ji is reluctant, there is no suitable candidate to replace Zhao and Li's second daughter.
When he was worried about it, Di Lie proposed a plan.
At this time, Di Lie already knew that his two female generals, Luo Lida and Shui Ning Zhu, were both imprisoned in the cold palace by Tong Guan, so he came up with a way, he wanted to replace Zhao Fujin and Master Li with Luo Lida and Shui Ning Zhu!
First of all, Luo Lida and Shui Ningzhu are both superior, and the two of them are the best candidates to replace Zhao and Li. When it comes to appearance, it can be said that there are women under the age of 20 in the imperial city at this time, except for Li Shishi and Zhao Fujin, there are two daughters in Luoshui, and there is no more beautiful person.
Secondly, Di Lie wanted to let the two daughters of Luoshui go to Wanyan Zongxian's side instead of Zhao and Li, so naturally he did not send the two daughters to Wanyan Zongxian or other Jinguo beasts to spoil them. What he wants to do is a risky move - let the two girls of Luoshui come back after capturing Yan Zongxian.
If it doesn't work out, the second daughter can commit suicide, which can be regarded as sacrificing her life for the country, which is better than sitting in the imperial city and waiting to die. Of course, Di Lie will not tell anyone about this purpose, so as not to be vetoed by Zhao Ji's father and son.
Since Di Lie said this, Zhao Jiyan has reason to oppose it? In short, it is a member of your Di family, you can do whatever you like, it is naturally best not to send Zhao Fujin, and of course it is also very good not to send Master Li, anyway, Bai Sheng is already dead, as long as you get through this difficulty, Master Li will still be mine sooner or later!
The candidate for Concubine Wei Xian has been solved, and the candidate for Zhao Li's second daughter has also been found, and then it is Bai Sheng's daughter, where to find this girl who was born three days ago?
It is said that when Master Li was pregnant, it was a few days later than the time when Zhao Ji Longgen was cut, so there was no woman in the Zhao Song Palace for most of the past half a year, even if there were a few concubines like Concubine Wei Xian, they secretly made some things up, and they were all killed in time when they were pregnant.
Who dares to hold up a big belly at this time, it is not the blessing of a mother and a child, that is, looking for death. The emperor can't have sex, but you're a concubine but you're pregnant, isn't this looking for death?
Therefore, in the entire palace, there is no way to find a baby who is similar to Bai Sheng's second daughter, and there are a few children who are two or three years old, four or five years old, but this is too bad, right?
What can I do about this? Liang Shicheng will not come up with any more ideas, this is Bai Sheng's business, you Di Lie is willing to protect Bai Sheng's wife and daughter, you Di Lie will find a way by yourself, others have no such obligation.
Of course, Di Lie can't think of a way, the so-called smart woman is difficult to cook without rice, thousands of women in this huge imperial city have not given birth to children at this juncture, what can you do?
Besides, whose children are not cherished? If you let the family replace Bai Sheng's child with their own child, can the people be willing? It is better to kill someone else, so even if there is such a baby, Di Lie will not be able to open his mouth.
Why does Wanyan Zongxian have to be Bai Sheng's child? With his toes, he can know how deep his hatred for Bai Sheng is, and if he sends the child in this situation, isn't that just sending him to death?
People including Cai You could guess the fate of Bai Sheng's daughter, but they couldn't imagine how vicious Wanyan Zongxian was, if they knew that Wanyan Zongxian wanted to let the cook of Bai Fanlou skin the baby alive in front of the Great Song Junchen, he would swallow the baby alive with meat and bones, I don't know if it would be creepy.
Just said that in this case, it is estimated that even if Shui Ningzhu and Luo Lida go together, they will not be able to take into account the safety of such a baby, the two of them are not Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, and their martial arts will not reach the height of rushing to kill the enemy with a baby, otherwise they will not be easily captured by Tong Guan.
So, even if it is to fulfill the righteousness between one's own brothers, it can't be at the cost of other people's lives, can it?
But the problem at the moment is that if you don't find such a baby, you have to send Bai Sheng's daughter, otherwise you won't be able to meet Wanyan Zongxian's conditions.
Di Lie hesitated for a moment, Zhao Jike couldn't hold his breath, you Di Lie hurry up! You can't kill everyone because Bai Sheng has a daughter who was born for three days, right? My emperor's daughter is not so expensive! So he urged: "What's the matter, Master Di, you should come up with an idea! Everyone is waiting!"
As he was talking, suddenly there was a cat meow not far away, Di Lie heard it clearly, and immediately had a flash of inspiration, and pointed to the cat's meow with his backhand, and everyone looked at his finger, but saw a black civet cat on a low wall in the palace falling, falling to the ground and convulsing twice and then not moving.
Di Lie sighed and said, "Just peel off this cat's skin, fall it again, and send it to that Wanyan Zongxian, just say that the old official, you fell this baby to death in a fit of anger, how about it?"
There are a lot of women in the palace, and not everyone has the kung fu of Concubine Wei Xian who can make the emperor linger, so many of them have no chance to see the emperor all year round, and the days without men are lonely, what should I do?
When Di Lie heard the cat's meow, he just thought of the strange case of the tanuki changing the prince in the era of Song Zhenzong, the tanuki who peeled off the skin and chopped off the tail was very similar to the newborn baby, of course, if he only did this step, even if he could hide the original Song Zhenzong, he would not be able to hide today's Wanyan Zongxian.
But if you drop this tanuki again, it's hard to say, it's all a pile of flesh and bones, how do you know if it was a baby before it was dropped?
In order to keep Bai Sheng's flesh and blood, Di Lie really let it go, this strange case was a huge scandal in the Zhao Song royal family, related to Zhao Ji and Zhao Heng's ancestors, who usually dares to talk about topics related to this matter? But at this time, Di Lie can't take care of it, if your two emperors are dissatisfied with this, you want to kill or kill as you like.
And he angered Zhao Ji more than that, his proposal is equivalent to revealing a well-known "secret", Zhao Ji is coveting Master Li, who doesn't know about this? But Master Li gave birth to Bai Sheng, yes, it is reasonable for Zhao Ji to drop Bai Sheng's child, but you Di Lie knows this in your heart, can you declare it?
