The Queen in the Jingpan skirt sat aside, skillfully stitching and mending a cotton coat. She was once the most noble woman in the world, and now she has hair as white as frost on her temples, fish lines at the corners of her eyes, and earlobes.

The frostbite on my skin was visibly noticeable, my fingers were red, swollen and my mouth was alarming.

Zhao Yuan knelt on the other side and poured out two bowls of hot goat milk from an iron kettle with a chipped lid. One bowl was given to Zhao Jing, and the other bowl was given to the queen.

Luo Yi left, leaving the bottle of medicine behind.

Of course, there are also some food, clothes and bedding he brought.

However, Zhao Jing refused to eat anything Luo Yi brought.

He was afraid that these things were poisonous.

"They are so vicious that they actually want to kill the king!" Zhao Jing's face was distorted with anger: "The Luo family is not a good thing. When they were in Tokyo, they should be killed like the Xiao family. Now

That Luo Gang colluded with Xiao Erlang, and Luo Song colluded with Xiao Sanniang. None of them are good, they just want to kill me!"

Zhao Yuan remained silent, but roasted the frozen black buns on the fire until soft, then cut them into small pieces and placed them in the goat milk bowl.

"Your Majesty, have some food!"

"Ziyu, the only one I trust now is you!" Zhao Jing picked up the bowl and sighed: "Even those slaves don't even look at me now. One day, I will cramp and skin them!"

Those palace maids were snatched away and divided up long ago, and even the eunuchs were made into slaves. Only some old and weak people who were not wanted were left here, but these people are now

He also doesn’t have much respect for Zhao Jing. If Zhao Yuan hadn’t never left him, it would have been difficult for Zhao Jing to survive the past few years.

"The officials have treated me as a nobleman, and I have been treated with great kindness. Now that I am in trouble, I will naturally do my best to support you!" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the strong wind knows the hero!" The corners of Zhao Jing's eyes were moist: "I am about to turn my fortune, Ziyu, I will not treat you badly. From now on, whoever is mine will be yours, 豼

I am worthy of my brother."

"Officials should not try to undermine me. A king is a king and ministers are ministers. The order must not be messed up."

"Didn't Luo Xiaothiie say that Emperor Liao wants me to become the King of Song Dynasty? When we go back, I will reward you heavily!" Zhao Jing said with a smile.

"Are the officials ready to accept this matter?" Zhao Yuan held up a broken bowl, but there was only some heated water in the bowl.

"Of course!" Zhao Jing looked very excited: "This is my opportunity, a great opportunity to get out of the current predicament, an opportunity to make a comeback."

"But the officials, Luo Yi is right about one thing, that is, once the officials agree to this matter, they will indeed be infamous in history." Zhao Yuan took a sip of hot water and said slowly.

"So what?" Zhao Jing looked a little excited: "Ziyu, I think back then, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty was not a follower of the Hu. If he had not surrendered to the Huns and borrowed soldiers from the Huns, he could have unified the world and achieved great success.

The great achievements of the Tang Dynasty? Looking at the current history books, who dares to say that he was not a wise king or a heroic hero? In the end, weren’t the Xiongnu defeated by the Tang Dynasty and fled far away? Gou Jian was able to endure hardships while lying on his salary, so can I

It can be done.”

He leaned forward and put his hands on Zhao Yuan's shoulders, "If there is a will, things will come true. Even if the cauldron sinks the boat, a hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu. If you work hard, God will not let you down. You will suffer hardships while working hard. Three thousand Yue armor can swallow Wu."

Ziyu, as long as you help me, we can endure the humiliation and restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. What's the problem? You will help me, right?"

Zhao Jing smiled and nodded: "I will always be loyal to the official family, so I will naturally help you."

"Okay, okay, then let's wait for the Emperor of Liao to send someone!" Zhao Jingyangtian laughed: "There will be a day when you can turn over, Xiao's son, just wait for me to come back, those who betrayed me

People, I want you to regret your mistakes!"

Zhao Yuan stood up, collected the bottle of medicine that Luo Yi left behind when he left, and put it in his arms.

"Ziyu, stay!" The queen's voice came from behind.

Zhao Yuan turned around and looked at the queen.

"Ziyu is too thinly dressed. This cotton-padded coat is for you, but it's a bit too old!" The queen handed the newly quilted cotton-padded coat to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan bowed and took it: "Zhao Yuan has received many awards in the past, but today this cotton coat is the most valuable."

The queen felt sad for a while, then said: "Ziyu is such a talented person, can't we let the officials give up this idea? I would rather die than have the officials become the king of the Song Dynasty. This is the greatest insult to us."

Zhao Yuan remained silent for a long time, then turned around and left slowly.

Behind her, the two queens shed tears.

Zhao Jing didn't wait long as the envoy from Zhongjing had already arrived at Five Kingdoms City.

Different from the last time Luo Yi came with a light vehicle, this time, there were more than a dozen vehicles and hundreds of people. Shan's army even tightly surrounded this small city.

In the past, this place has never been so lively.

Although thousands of Shushan troops were stationed, these Shushan troops guarded Zhao Jing in name only, and they mainly focused on the surrounding Jurchen tribes.

As for the captives of the Song Dynasty, no one cared about them, whether they were alive or dead, and no one cared about them.

In the past two years, how many princes, princes and grandsons of the Golden Branch and Jade Leaf have died of cold, hunger and illness?

Just throw it into a big pit, and after a few shovelfuls of soil, dust will return to dust, and dust will return to dust. In the next spring, everything will revive, and green grass will grow, and even the last trace will be gone.

Sun Chun stepped out of the carriage with a smile.

As a direct descendant of the Empress Dowager Chengtian, Sun Chun is now the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Zhongjing court after the political reform. He has overwhelming power and power. It can be said that he is stomping his feet, and the world will be shaken three times.

Slightly different from the political reforms carried out by Xiao Erlang and Xiao Cheng in Jiangning, the Empress Dowager Chengtian did not completely abolish the past two-track governance method of the nation returning to the nation and the Han people returning to the Han people.

In Shangjing, the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard still exist.

It's just like the six ministers and nine ministers of the Song Dynasty in the past, they have become decorations, with only position and no power.

The service system in Zhongjing, in which the political affairs hall governs six ministries, is the real center of power.

Those who work in Zhongjing are the powerful and powerful.

Those who sit in Shangjing are those who have fallen from power and go there to retire.

The political system designed by Luo Song on behalf of the Empress Dowager Chengtian was modeled on the two-track system of the Song Dynasty, which effectively solved the problem of the Empress Dowager wanting to gather the right people, but not causing too much backlash from the older generation in the country.

Your money and treatment will not be compromised, but you should not interfere with other matters.

In the past, this system was a heavy financial burden for the Song Dynasty. The redundant officials and redundant officials became a burden that the court could not get rid of. But this problem does not exist in the Liao Kingdom now. If there is no money, the king of Zhao and Jin will be looked after.

Just search together.

And the current Empress Dowager Chengtian is also good at making money.

In the past, the situation that basically relied on the Song Dynasty for most supplies was rapidly changing. The craftsmen plundered from the Song Dynasty were becoming the backbone of the Liao Kingdom's production.

A large number of skilled workers are profoundly changing the current situation of Liao Kingdom.

Zhao Jing was excited and went out without regard for dignity, but the heads stuck on the long spear blades of the leading troops shocked him.

"They are all those guys who want to do harm to your Majesty!" Sun Chun just bowed slightly to show his courtesy, while Zhao Jing, on the other hand, crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, making a big salute. "They are all assassins sent from the south, I think.

We are planning to assassinate your Majesty, but we have already taken precautions. Come one, kill one, come two, kill a pair! We should have arrived two days ago, but in order to attract more of these guys to draw moths to the flame, we decided to

After waiting for two days, I really gained a lot!”

Zhao Jing was horrified and shocked.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Sun, for saving me!"

"It takes a show of hands, it takes a show of hands!" Sun Chun smiled and looked condescendingly at Zhao Jing. "King Song, please accept the decree of His Majesty the Emperor of Liao!"

Zhao Jing was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly understood.

As soon as he lifted his robe, he knelt upright in the snow.

The former Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the most respected person in the country who was the brother-in-law of the late Emperor Yelu Jun of the Liao Kingdom, knelt down in front of Sun Chun.

Sun Chun, with a look of contempt in his eyes, quickly concealed his emotions and read aloud with great emotion the Emperor of Liao's decree to confer Zhao Jing as King of Song and return him to Tokyo.

The King of Song was the head of all the kings in the south, including King Quzhen of Zhao, King Liu Quanyi of Jin, King Liu Yu of Qi, and even the Hebei Road were placed under the command of King Song.

"Thank you!" He kowtowed on the ground and shouted thank you.

Sun Chun smiled and stepped forward to help Zhao Jing up.

The servants carried the things loaded in the car into the house one by one. The house was quickly filled with fine clothes and bedding, exquisite food, and a dazzling array of accessories.

The queen is dead.

While Zhao Jing and Sun Chun were laughing and having a good time in front of them, she put the silk ribbon sent by Sun Chun on the beam, and then quietly hanged herself to death.

When the drunk Zhao Jing sent Sun Chun away and returned to the back room to continue sharing his joy with the queen, he discovered that the queen had hanged himself.

Zhao Jing was not sad, on the contrary, he was only angry.

After decades of husband and wife relationship, in the end, this woman, instead of helping him, wanted to trick him!

After hearing the news, Zhao Yuan rushed over and released the queen from the beam.

This once most noble woman in the world was lying stiffly among the soft bedding that had just been delivered. She was wearing the same ragged linen clothes she had been wearing for the past two years, with patches piled on top of her head.

, and there was only a wooden fork stuck in it.

Sun Chun sent a lot of colorful clothes, all of which were made according to the queen's etiquette, but this woman did not wear these things on her body even if she died.

"I came here with innocence, so I should leave with innocence!"

These were the last words the queen left for Zhao Jing.

After Sun Chun got the news, he came over to take a look at the woman, and after bowing respectfully, he dragged Zhao Jing, who was furious and cursing, to another house, and then handed the funeral to Zhao Yuanlai.
