The dream of a lonely hero

King Jin was all frightened. After a long time, Yan Yun calmed down a little and said to himself:"It was Yan Yun who harmed my eldest brother. If Yan Yun hadn't begged him so hard, my eldest brother would never have come out." Tears streamed down his face. Seeing that his mood had calmed down, the King of Jin persuaded him:"My condolences on the Huailong Festival! Don't blame yourself. This is all God's will, and it's hard to violate God's will! Since it is God's will, even if you keep secrets and don't come out of the mountain, you will encounter other disasters."

Yan Yuncong He walked out slowly in grief and said:"How about the second brother Chen Xin, the eighth brother Yuanda, the fifth brother Ma Xi, and Gao Qiong and Wang Zhao?" He then took the hand of King Jin's Yousi and said:"Been defeated by the soldiers. Whether they are killed or not, life or death is uncertain. It is all the fault of the solitary family!" He stamped his feet and beat his chest, drew out his sword and put it across his neck, saying,"The incompetence of the solitary family has caused the destruction of the three armies. How can the solitary family have the dignity to walk in the world!"

Yan Yun hurriedly stepped forward. He held his wrist in front of him, but because he was too strong, King Jin deliberately let go, and the sword fell to the ground. Yan Yun said:"Your Highness, please do not commit suicide! The world can be without Yan Yun, Chen Xin, Yuanda, Ma Wei, Gao Qiong, Wang Zhao, etc., but it cannot be without Your Highness. All the people long for Your Highness to come to the world as soon as possible and create an unprecedented peaceful and prosperous era!" King Jin was ecstatic when he heard this, but his expression was serious and he said:"Yan Yun is brave! Don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, the lonely family will die without a burial place!"

Yan Yun said:"Yan Yun knows it. He buries it in his heart." Try to say,"Your Highness will not let others snatch it away! No, with Yan Yun here, no one can compete with His Highness."

King Jin was elated, but his face was still serious, and he pretended to be angry:" Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense!"

The next day it was bright and cold, and King Jin was hungry and cold. He followed Yan Yun over the mountains and ridges to the south. After walking for more than an hour, King Jin couldn't walk anymore. He was so hungry that he felt dizzy. He sat down at the foot of the mountain, panting, and said,"This is the eight-hundred-mile barren mountain that Mr. Tao said. Now I'm hungry. I'm afraid I'll starve to death if I can't get out!"

Yan Yun couldn't bear the hunger in his belly. How long, if the food is not dealt with, it may become the food of wild beasts, and said:"Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will find some game for your Highness to satisfy my hunger." In the deserted place, King Jin was very afraid, and he would have to ask Yan Yun to look for food. Starving to death, he said:"Huailong, go and come back quickly!"

Yan Yun left as promised.

The cold wind was biting, and King Jin was shivering with cold, wondering when he could get out of this barren mountain and wilderness where no ghosts came. Suddenly, an animal that looked like a house cat sprang out from the grass in front and ran towards him. King Jin thought that someone's cat had gone to this damn place, and that it would catch the barbecue to quench its hunger. Thinking of this, he suddenly became energetic, drew out his sword and struck at the cat. The cat got out of the way, and he stood up and chased it. Before I had taken more than ten steps, I suddenly heard a roaring"Ouch". It turned out to be a white-fronted tiger, with its bloody mouth open, teeth and claws roaring towards him. King Jin fell to the ground in a state of dismay, wondering why he had ruled the world but today he became this beast's meal. Is this God's will? The big mouth of the white-fronted tiger was only half a foot away from King Jin. Suddenly, a cold light penetrated directly into its mouth, and blood spurted out from the tiger's mouth. A hot, blood-smelling liquid was sprayed on King Jin's head and body. It was an enlightenment, giving him a hot blood bath. His whole body was covered with blood, like a bloody man soaked in blood."Plop" The huge tiger's body pressed against him and he couldn't breathe. After a moment, the tiger was removed. He ignored his fear and wiped the blood on his face. He took a closer look and saw Yan Yun kneeling down in front of him.

King Jin was stunned for a while, and continued to giggle,"Hahahaha! I'm still alive, I'm still alive!" I don't know where the energy came from, but he got up and danced, shouting,"I'm not dead! I'm not dead! The world is still mine!" It's still mine! -" The voice kept echoing in the valley.

Yan Yun left him to look for game, fearing that something might happen to him. He didn't dare to go far, so he circled not far away from him. Hearing the roar of the tiger, he immediately flew towards him, five feet away from the tiger. He threw his sword and flew out from the tiger. It penetrated the tiger's mouth and thrust it out from the back of the head, and the hilt of the sword penetrated into the tiger's mouth. If there is even the slightest difference in this move, King Jin will become the meat in the tiger's mouth. This all relies on Yan Yun's usual solid martial arts. Yan Yun hurriedly stepped forward to uncover the tiger's body, knelt down in front of King Jin, and said:"My rescue is late, please forgive me." King Jin was so frightened that no one could hear him, and he yelled for a long time before he stopped. Stop, look at Yan Yun, and say:"Haha! Brother, get up." With such a title, Yan Yun would not dare to get up. King Jin said:"Oh! Yanyun, get up, get up!"

Yanyun hurriedly chopped wood, skinned the tiger, and set up a rack to barbecue the tiger meat. A tiger cub that King Jin mistakenly thought was a domestic cat was wailing nearby. The king of Jin chopped the young tiger into several pieces with his sword. King Jin and Yan Yun ate tiger meat around the campfire. King Jin was so hungry that he was dizzy and lost his former dignity and elegance as he devoured the food. He choked until his eyes were filled with tears. His wet clothes were steaming from the roasted red. After he was full, he wiped his mouth and said:"I am a prince, but I am still from the throne." I have never eaten such delicious food." Yan Yun didn't know how to respond and looked at him like a ghost. Being reduced to such a situation, the King of Jin unknowingly put down his princely airs and started chatting with Yan Yun, saying:"Huailong! The Gu family has long heard that Prince Fang's beauties Zhang Qiping and Wu Luomei are as beautiful as flowers and delicious, so they all came in." You - I really can't believe it! What were you thinking at that time?"

Yan Yun blushed in embarrassment and said,"I - I don't know how they - I——"He would not hide anything from the master he worshiped so much."I have thought about this, but other thoughts have outweighed this."

King Jin said,"Oh! What do you think?"

Yan Yun said seriously:"Your Highness, I have not been so kind to you." To retaliate, my enemy Jin Huarong cannot be killed with his own hands, so how dare I secretly have fun!"

King Jin said,"Do you have any other ideas besides repaying kindness and revenge?"

Yan Yun said,"This is my whole life."

The King of Jin asked:"What happens after we understand the grudges?"

Yan Yun said:"Be an official in charge of officials, an official in the Yushitai, an official in the Court of Judges, and kill all the corrupt officials and cruel officials in the world." Turning to him, he asked,"Your Highness! Can you do it?"

King Jin comforted him:"Sincerity is the key to gold and stone, you can do it!" Then he changed the topic,"Prince Fang Jun is also very kind to you, why are you not tempted?"

Yan Yun said:"Little one, I have given my life to His Highness a long time ago. Prince Fang is very kind to me. I will repay him in the future." King

Jin said,"Didn't you repay him already?"

Yan Yun was stunned and said,"When will you repay him?" Can you surpass him?"

The King of Jin's face darkened and he said:"Beheading Donkey Mountain accomplished his feat of driving back the Liao State without a single blow. Jingnan Marquis Yelu Wuchun, the general marshal of the Liao Dynasty, had tens of thousands of elites. Soon after his achievements were so high, he was promoted to a high official. Jue Chao has jumped up the ranks. This is not called repaying a favor. Does it mean that he has to be pushed to the ninth level to be called repaying a favor?"

Yan Yun heard the reproachful tone and said:"The little one is just to go out to search for his company. Your Highness, I didn’t think much about it."

King Jin seemed to have thought of something and said,"It was Princess Yuanchun who gave you the idea."

Yan Yun said,"Yes! I told your Highness last night."

King Jin pondered, Zhao Yuanchun was the leader of the dynasty. Prime Minister Zhao Pu's daughter, whether she came to Zhanlushan Fangjun Wang's camp intentionally or unintentionally, whether she was helping Fangjun Wang, helping herself, or helping Yan Yun out of the deep love between children, this has nothing to do with her father's death; In a tense battle with Prince Fang, how could Zhao Pu not know that he could always remain neutral? I hope he is not planning for Prince Fang. Could he be planning for Prince Fang? Who he supports will have an impact on the emperor's brother's judgment. I don't know how long it will take to make a comeback without being severely punished after this tragic defeat. If he can help me, it is possible to save the day. How can I get his help? Woolen cloth?

Ghosts can't move. The Great Desert Mountain has a radius of 800 miles, with ravines and ravines, and is deserted. Yan Yun and Jin Wang had unkempt hair, dirty faces, and rags. They wrapped tiger skins around their bodies to resist the wind and cold. They thirsted for mountain springs and ate mountain fruits and game. They traveled long distances through mountains and rivers and endured hardships. After more than two months, they finally walked out of the deserted mountains. The man's ragged clothes and gray hair behind his unkempt head look like a pair of savages. Due to not eating salt for a long time, Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi often felt headaches, fatigue, nausea, and even convulsions, coma, and edema all over. Yan Yun also had a similar reaction, but not as strong as King Jin. The two stayed at the home of Wang En, a farmer in the mountains, for more than a month. After their health gradually recovered, they bid farewell to Wang En and set off for Bianliang, Tokyo. Along the way, he was hunted down many times by killers sent by Prince Fang. King Jin escaped death under Yan Yun's best efforts to protect him. After going through all kinds of hardships, it took him three months to return to the long-awaited Jin Prince's Mansion in Tokyo.

After more than half a year of escaping death, King Zhao Guangyi of the Jin Dynasty was exhausted both physically and mentally. While cultivating, he was thinking hard about how to face the saint. Late at night five days later, he was in the back hall of the palace, closing his eyes and relaxing. The servant of the palace reported:"Your Highness! We have a distinguished guest coming to visit."

King Zhao Guangyi of Jin waved his hand feebly and said:"What, Your Highness? His Highness died in the Ghostly Wilderness Mountain a long time ago. See you!"

A burst of slow footsteps getting closer and closer.."Sanlang! Why don't you even see your brother?"

Zhao Guangyi's voice sounded familiar.After half a year of adventure, I was slow to react. I couldn't think of anything for a moment. I looked up and turned pale with panic.

The palace attendants hurriedly exited.

The man who spoke was in his fifties, tall and stalwart, with a weather-beaten face, three short beards, bright eyebrows, deep and unfathomable eyes, a green robe and a small cap, and a jade whisk in his hand.

This jade whisk is a jade-handled golden whisk. The handle of this whisk is two feet, six inches and six minutes long. It is made of Hetian jasper. A goose egg-sized luminous pearl is inlaid under the black gold bolt at the end of the handle. The jasper handle is connected by black gold. Half a foot away from the luminous pearl is an inlaid gold dragon head two inches and five minutes away. The handle of the whisk is like a key, with a gold ring at the end connected to a strand of black gold wire as thick as a fist. The luminous pearl will emit more than ten feet of light at night. Hotan jasper handles will appear dark green on cloudy days, and turn light green on sunny days. Its owner is inseparable from its unique affection.

King Zhao Guangyi of Jin got up with a grunt, knelt down and bowed down, saying:"I see you! Long live my forgiveness!"

This man was Zhao Kuangyin, the elder brother of King Zhao Guangyi of Jin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty. Looking at his skinny brother, all kinds of pity appeared on his face. , said anxiously:"Sanlang, get up! It's not like the court does not require the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers." He helped him up, looked at him with a waxy face, tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, and said,"Sanlang, Sanlang has suffered!"

Zhao Guangyi saw his second brother. , I didn’t know how to express my grievances, so I burst into tears and burst into tears.

Taizu Zhao Kuangyin heard the report from Zhao Guangmei, the king of Fangjun, that King Zhao Guangyi of Jin was defeated and the whole army was annihilated. He was uneasy and uneasy. Recently, he heard the report from Wude Si secret agent that the king of Jin returned to the palace of Jin. He took his confidant eunuchs to serve in the provincial capital. Zhi Dou Tong secretly went to the Prince Jin's Mansion incognito to visit him. Seeing that it was today, the servants of the Prince of Jin dared to stop him, so they walked through the door and went to the deep back hall. Dou Tong bowed and stood outside the hall.

Taizu, King Jin, guests and host took their seats. Taizu comforted him:"Don't be sad, Sanlang. The days of hardship are gone forever. How is your body recovering?"

King Jin wiped his tears and said:"Second brother! My body is nothing. As long as the second brother knows about Sanlang's injustice and suffering, Sanlang can die with peace of mind!"

Taizu said angrily:"A man should not talk about death easily! As long as Sanlang is fine, I will feel at ease." He looked at him carefully, with gray beard and hair,"I haven't seen him in this year, Sanlang is so poor. I'm down and out. I'll be better soon if I live a good life. When I return to the palace, I'll ask the imperial physician to treat Sanlang."

King Jin said anxiously,"It's okay! My second brother knows how Sanlang could end up like this."

Taizu said,"Sanlang is not in a hurry. , I will have a lot of time to tell you in the future."

King Jin said anxiously:"Second brother! Sanlang will suffocate to death if you don't tell him."

Taizu looked around and said nothing to him, and then told him many precious medicinal materials to treat him,"Don't tell me anymore You are also a layman. When the imperial doctor comes to prescribe the right medicine, you can go to the palace to get whatever you need." After that, he took Dou Tong back to the palace. King Jin wanted to see him off outside the hall, but Taizu persuaded him to stop.

King Jin paced back and forth with his rosary in his hand, thinking: Shouldn't the second brother be so abnormal? Doesn't he want to know what happened at the multilateral court in the past six months? How can I escape from defeat? Emperor Yanzhao Shangao is not far away, does he know everything? How did Prince Fang make the memorial? What about the imperial court in Beijing? A series of questions disturbed him.

Soon the imperial doctor sent by Taizu came to diagnose and treat King Jin. He prescribed many medicinal materials and asked the eunuchs to deliver them to King Jin's palace that night.

Three days later at night, Taizu summoned Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi, Fangjun Wang Zhao Guangmei, and Prime Minister Zhao Pu in the Long Live Hall of the imperial palace. The red candle was burning high, the monarch and his ministers were sitting and drinking tea, while all the eunuchs and maids were sent out. Taizu said:"This is the Liu'an dragon bud that was paid tribute yesterday by the Southern Tang Dynasty. It has been carefully roasted and produced in high mountains, with many clouds and fog, and high humidity. The tea leaves are of excellent quality and have a mellow fragrance. They can also be used as traditional Chinese medicine. Secretary Zhao, Sanlang, Shiro tastes it."

Zhao Pu is five years older than Taizu. When Taizu was appointed as the governor of the German army in the Zhou Dynasty, he was appointed as the secretary of the German army and became an important confidant of Taizu. After Taizu ascended the throne, he called everyone in informal situations. He was"Secretary Zhao", and Taizu's mother, Queen Mother Du, also called him that. He knew that the Holy Sage summoned him and his two imperial brothers at night not just to drink tea and talk about Taoism, but to settle the grievances between the two imperial brothers. He was thinking about how to In response to the Holy Emperor's question, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and echoed:"It is indeed of the best quality."

Zhao Guangmei, the king of Fangjun, was twenty years younger than Taizu. He returned to Beijing a month ago, killed Donkey Mountain and forced back tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Liao Kingdom. Bianting was very proud of his great achievements. After returning to Beijing, his adviser Fan Yong prepared enough homework for him. Now he has a plan in mind, and he says with joy,"Good tea, good tea! What Secretary Zhao said is true, it is really the best tea."

The king of Jin, Zhao Guangyi, was twelve years younger than Taizu, and he was worried, so he also echoed:"Good tea!"

Zhao Guangmei, the king of Fangjun, was anxious for a long time, wondering how long it would take Zhao Guangyi if he didn't send you to the eighteenth level of hell today, and stood up. Said:"Congratulations, third brother! Although you lost the 100,000 troops that the second brother gave you, you still managed to escape with your whole body, which is rare in ancient and modern times. Congratulations!"

King Zhao Guangyi of Jin survived all the hardships and was ridiculed by Zhao Guangmei again. He was so angry that he turned pale and said,"If it weren't for your inability to transport food and grass, how could I have defeated Xiongzhou?"

Zhao Guangmei sneered and said,"Haha! You blame me for your own incompetence. I deployed the department in Yingzhou City. I have been raising food and grass for you day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep. If I can't raise the food and grass, who will be responsible for forcing me to plunder and provoke a civil uprising? Besides, I don't have your subordinates who disturb the people, are good at fending off the enemy, and are as good as wolves and tigers. They are born bandits in the green forest.! You are stupid and incompetent. As a prince of the Song Dynasty, you should set an example for the people of the Song Dynasty. You should die on the battlefield and die for the country. If you can't do it? Then you should kill yourself to thank the world! It's better for you to fear the sword and avoid the sword and be greedy. You are afraid of death, and the royal family has lost all face. What shame do you have sitting here drinking tea!" He turned to Taizu and said,"Second brother, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. For the sake of the country and the country of the Song Dynasty, you had to kill your relatives as a warning to others. , If you don't kill Zhao Guangyi, you can't encourage good and punish evil, you can't give him a hundred punishments! All the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the people all over the world are looking forward to beheading Zhao Guangyi, who is as afraid of enemies as a rat, has lost his power and humiliated the country. The second brother is also really in a dilemma, on the one hand, there is brotherhood. , one side is the legal system of the Song Dynasty, so Zhao Guangyi will be deprived of the title of prince and assigned to Fangzhou for never to be employed, which will arouse the anger of the people."
