Chapter 69 Crossing the River (Part 2)
In October of the first year of Jianwu of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty moved south, and people fled north of the two rivers were endless.
The people carried the poor property of their families and brought their families to the ferry on the north bank of the river, intending to cross the Yangtze River and go to the south of the Yangtze River. Only in this way can they be safe and perhaps avoid the trampling of the enemy cavalry.
Of course, there are also many officials, officers, etc., crowded near the ferry.
The Empress Dowager Meng of the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Chen of the Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Li Sanjian and others also arrived at the Wujiangting Ferry in Hezhou this day, intending to cross the river from here.
Due to too many people, the ferry was extremely crowded and blocked. The ferry was blocked, so Prime Minister Li Sanjian personally maintained the officials, soldiers and people crossing the river before the Wujiangting Ferry.
I often remember the evening of the stream pavilion, and I was intoxicated and didn’t know the way back. I returned to the boat at night and accidentally entered the depths of the lotus flowers. I fought for the crossing, and I was startled by a bunch of gulls and herons.
At this moment, Li Sanjian, who was standing at the Wujiang Pavilion Ferry, suddenly remembered the "Dream-like Order" written by Li Qingzhao back then. He couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. It seemed that a graceful woman in yellow appeared in front of him.
However, Li Qingzhao's mood of making this "Ru Meng Ling" was intoxicating and excited, and wrote about a girl's innocent, cute and playfulness, but at this time everyone was rushing to board the boat, which was a panic, which was completely different from Li Qingzhao's mood of writing this "Ru Meng Ling" at that time.
Li Sanjian has not heard from Li Qingzhao for a long time. I wonder how she is now? But I believe she will be affected by the catastrophe of the Song Dynasty, but I don’t know how much it has affected?
I wonder if this move is right or wrong? Li Sanjian looked at the crowded crowd and suddenly began to doubt the decision he made at that time.
"If you live as a hero, you will also be a hero in the ghost. I still miss Xiang Yu, but I will not cross the Yangtze River..."
When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives, Li Sanjian is Mengde, and Mengde appears in front of him.
.
.
At this time, the voice of a woman suddenly came from the officials and the people.
The sound is not loud, but it is crisp and pleasant, and is singing a five-character quatrain.
Li Sanjian, Cui Yongye and others were ashamed when they heard this. At the same time, they turned to look at the crowd and saw an elegant and dignified middle-aged woman standing among the crowd, her eyes flashing, looking at Li Sanjian and others.
What is this place? It is the ferry of Wujiangting in Hezhou, and Wujiangting was the place where Xiang Yu of Chu and Han Dynasty committed suicide.
.
.
In the Battle of Gaixia, Xiang Yu fell into Han Xin's ambush. Xiang Yu suffered losses and lost his troops. Xiang Yu fled and fled. When he fled to the Wujiang Pavilion Ferry, he had no face to see the elders of Jiangdong, so he committed suicide at the Wujiang Pavilion.
Li Qingzhao's five-character quatrain is obviously a satirical example of the Song Dynasty's transiting south, not thinking about fighting against the enemy, only knowing how to survive in vain, and only knowing how to live in a corner.
"We are not as good as a woman!" Cui Yongzhen, beside Li Sanjian, sighed in shame.
At that time, Li Sanjian was far away in Yingtian Prefecture, while Cui Yongye was in Jiangning Prefecture, so there were some things that Cui Yongye didn't understand.
"I'll tell you later." Li Sanjian glared at Cui Yongye and ordered Shankui, Jikong waited for Huwei and said, "Bring this woman here, well, no, it's not right, please, please come here, don't be rude."
At this moment, during this scene, Li Sanjian still doesn’t know who this woman is? It’s his “first love” Li Qingzhao.
.
.
As the only prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Li Sanjian was in charge of the government affairs alone, while Li Qingzhao satirized and ridiculed the Song Dynasty's crossing south and satirized Li
Sanjian is no different, and even Li Sanjian suspected that Li Qingzhao did it on purpose.
It would be fine if others misunderstood Li Sanjian, but his "first love" misunderstood Li Sanjian.
.
.
Of course, Li Sanjian was extremely unreconciled, so he planned to call Li Qingzhao over to come and ask her about her situation.
Shankui, Jikong and Huwei were welcomed respectfully after hearing this.
"What? Does Li Dajin want to punish a young woman?" Li Qingzhao didn't want to see this "disgusting" person, but he was the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, but he was the prime minister and was in charge of the government alone. He was powerful. Just a glance could make Li Qingzhao fall into a state of doom, so Li Qingzhao had to come to see him.
"Are you guilty?" Li Sanjian asked back after swallowing.
It is still so fresh and refined, so dignified and beautiful, and its waist is still so thin.
.
.
, just like a water snake, the years seem to have not carved marks on her body, Li Sanjian said in his heart.
The so-called "what can't get is the best". In fact, Li Qingzhao is in middle age. Compared with the pretty girl in the past, she still has many differences, but they are all ignored by Li Sanjian.
.
.
Only by making up for her appearance, not to mention that Li Qingzhao was originally a charming beauty. Although she was middle-aged, she still had charm. And few people in the world can match her poems and songs. Anyway, Li Sanjian could not make such exquisite poems, and he was willing to give up the disadvantage.
Li Sanjian felt somewhat regretful about missing the fate back then.
"Oh, so the little woman is innocent? So the little woman goes back? The little woman's husband is still there." Li Qingzhao saw Li Sanjian's "big look" on his face, and finally asked after a smile.
Li Sanjian felt quite regretful, why didn’t Li Qingzhao be the same? Li Qingzhao insisted a little more back then, putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, maybe the ending would be different, especially Li Sanjian at present, if it were back then.
.
.
In this world, most people are still vain, and although a few people don’t say it, they are different from each other.
The prime minister of the Song Dynasty was extremely desirable and enviable in the eyes of the Song people. His honor and status were second only to that of the emperor. No prince or minister could compare with the prime minister.
The lazy boy and the poor boy Li Sanjian became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, but he was still the only prime minister. This made Li Qingzhao stunned. Later, Li Sanjian ordered the world to call on the world to resist the Jin Dynasty in the name of the Song Dynasty court. Li Qingzhao was quite pleased at that time.
But no one expected that Li Sanjian was talking about one thing and doing another, and he kept fighting against the enemy cavalry, but at this moment he fled to Jiangnan and ran faster than anyone else.
.
.
In this way, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but piss off and sarcastically wrote poems to mock and mock them when they met.
"Your husband? Who is he?" After seeing Li Qingzhao, Li Sanjian seemed to be a little "showy" in his mind. He actually forgot that Li Qingzhao's husband was Zhao Mingcheng, so he asked.
"The prime minister, whose husband's surname is Zhao Mingcheng, is the son of Zhao Tingzhi." Cui Yongzhen, who had been "listening" to the two of them, interrupted in an inappropriate manner at this time: "Zhao Mingcheng is the governor of the state, and the thieves in the state disturbed the city, but he abandoned the city and fled."
You old gossip, Li Sanjian heard this and glanced at Cui Yongye and said in his heart that he had forgotten who Li Qingzhao's husband was, but when he mentioned Zhao Mingcheng's name, how could Li Sanjian not know that Zhao Mingcheng was the son of Zhao Tingzhi?
As the prefect of a state, Zhao Mingcheng abandoned the city and fled when the thieves attacked. This made Li Sanjian quite disagree.
Li Qingzhao was also full of shame when she heard this.
"Come here as you are." Li Sanjian said to Li Qingzhao, then walked aside and stayed away from Cui Yongye and others.
Somehow, Li Qingzhao followed him obediently, perhaps because she wanted to know how the court would deal with Zhao Mingcheng.
"As the prefect of a town, a few thieves attacked, and they abandoned the city and fled the people. What should they be punished?" Sure enough, Li Sanjian talked about Zhao Mingcheng's affairs to Li Qingzhao, and said sternly: "According to the law, you should be killed!"
For such officials who abandoned the city and fled, they were usually dismissed from office in the past, but since Li Sanjian became prime minister, the punishment for officials has become increasingly severe. Now it is a wartime period, which is a special period. Therefore, according to the laws and regulations of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Mingcheng can indeed be beheaded.
"Don't kill scholars and officials, it is the family law of the ancestors." Li Qingzhao was immediately panicked when she heard this and distinguished the truth for Zhao Mingcheng.
"Ancestor's family law?" Li Sanjian grinned when he heard this, showed his white teeth, and sneered: "Ancestor's family law is useless in the original form."
"Li Sanjian, did you do it on purpose?" Li Qingzhao looked at Li Sanjian and said angrily: "The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. My country was destroyed. I abandoned the city and the army. Are there still fewer people abandoning the people? From princes and ministers to ordinary soldiers, they all fled without fighting, with more than tens of millions of people? Do you want to kill them all? You, Li Sanjian, Li Dajin, also abandoned the land and the people and fled? This is the case with the court. Why is it difficult for you to be Mingcheng today?"
As Li Qingzhao spoke, tears had already flowed down her face.
No matter how bad Zhao Mingcheng is, he is also Li Qingzhao's husband, and Li Qingzhao has to distinguish him for no matter what.
"Stay, stay..." Li Sanjian was a little angry, and then interrupted Li Qingzhao's words in a panic, and said angrily: "Don't want Luo Yang, you can tell the world? You are the one who is smart in the world?"
As the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, he talked privately to a minister's wife and even told him to cry.
.
.
Therefore, Li Sanjian couldn't help but feel guilty and hurriedly looked around.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Li." Li Qingzhao saw Li Sanjian's appearance, so she turned anger into joy and said with a smile.
"What do you thank me for doing? Your husband still cannot escape the blame." Li Sanjian shook his head and said.
"Well, but I know that Li Xiangguo is a good person." Li Qingzhao said softly.
"Good man? You are so unfair to you?" Li Sanjian said hatefully: "To this day, I think of Xiang Yu, I refuse to cross Jiangdong. Xiang Yu? The defeated general under Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang, just a soldier who lost his troops and country, but he refused to cross Jiangdong. So what if he passes Jiangdong? If he passes Jiangdong, he will die in the end, and he will die in an extremely miserable way."
After Li Sanjian said that, he left with his sleeves.
"Li... Li, I have a few cars of gold and stone objects in my family. Please help me transport them across the river." Li Qingzhao, who had been stunned for a moment, saw that Li Sanjian was about to leave, so she called Li Sanjian and asked for words softly.
"What? Even the people are unable to bring you, and you still have to help you transport your private money?" Li Sanjian turned around and said angrily when he heard this.
