Chapter 1 Zhao Yingluo escaped from death In the second year of Jingkang, in spring and April, it was the wheat harvest season.
The endless fields are covered with yellow wheat. There has been enough rain this spring, and the wheat ears are hanging their heads.
Strangely, there are only a few farmers busy in the wheat fields in this vast wilderness.
A carriage was speeding on the official road to Kaifeng City. The curtains of the carriage were opened, revealing a face that was full of exhaustion but could not conceal her stunning beauty.
"Little lady, the city of Kaifeng is not far ahead. Should we go directly into the city?" The coachman looked like he was in his 50s. He had been out all year round, and his face was tanned with wrinkles.
"Yes! After entering the city, go directly to Lu Mansion."
Seeing the looming Kaifeng City in front of the setting sun and mist, the young lady's frown finally relaxed.
She is Zhao Yingluo, the younger sister of His Majesty Song Qinzong and the daughter of Song Huizong. She is now 17 years Jin people captured Kaifeng and captured more than [-] people, including the two emperors and their clan members, who returned to the north. Zhao Yingluo was naturally among them.
It's just that Zhao Yingluo's soul comes from later generations.
After a car accident, Zhao Yingluo, a doctoral student at the Agricultural University, traveled back to Zhao Yingluo in this era, and also brought with him a different-dimensional space. This space is full of high-quality seeds that have been improved by later generations.
It just so happened that Wanyan Zongwang, a clan member of the Jin Kingdom, went north to capture the second emperor and was stationed in Handan. He coveted her beauty and summoned her to the Chinese military tent.
Zhao Yingluo took the opportunity to get Wanyan Zongwang drunk, pretended to be a maid, and escaped from the , she hid all the way and escaped the pursuers, and borrowed a fisherman's boat to cross the Yellow River and arrived at the area still controlled by the Song Dynasty.
She took out the only hairpin she had, hired a carriage, and headed towards Kaifeng City.
When Xu was approaching, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion. The lanterns on both sides of the mansion had a big word "LV" written on them.
Zhao Yingluo got off the carriage, handed the golden hairpin to the driver, and moved her aching legs for a while. When she saw the driver walking away, she walked towards the gate.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."
She knocked on the door a few times, and a yawning sound came from the door, "Who is it? It's so late?"
The person inside murmured and opened the door reluctantly. When he saw a young lady in plain clothes, he asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
"I have something important to see Lu Youcheng!"
"My lord has already rested, no see!" The man said impatiently, and then he was about to close the door.
Zhao Yingluo sneered, "It's about Lu Youcheng's family and life! If it's delayed, you can't afford the punishment."
When the man heard this, he felt a little nervous and said, "Wait at the door until I come in and pass the message."
After a cup of tea, the door opened again, "Follow me in."
……
After the Jin people returned to the north, the city of Kaifeng was in ruins. Lu Haowen, who had been busy for a day, was about to take a rest early when he heard from his disciples that someone wanted to see him, so he tidied up his clothes again and came to Qiyun Pavilion, which was used to receive guests. .
After a while, he saw the door leading a young lady into the hall. Lu Haowen looked her up and down through the dim candlelight, feeling that she looked familiar.
"Why are you looking for me?"
"This matter is of great importance. Please step aside, Mr. Lu."
Lu Haowen thought for a moment, then waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
When only the two of them were left in the hall, Zhao Yingluo said seriously, "Master Lu, don't you recognize me? In the autumn of the fifth year of Xuanhe, my father took me hunting in Xiyuan, and Master Lu also accompanied me."
The fifth year of Xuanhe... Father... Hunting... Lu Haowen began to rummage through his past memories, and finally came up with something. He suddenly sat up from his seat in surprise, took a few steps forward, and looked carefully again. Look, "You...you are, Her Royal Highness the Emperor Shunde!"
Seeing that he finally remembered, Zhao Yingluo said with a smile, "Master Lu has a good memory."
When Lu Haowen saw that the other party admitted, his expression was complicated and changeable for a while, and finally he burst into tears, "Old...Old minister Lu Haowen, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness."
Lu Haowen's bow really gave Zhao Yingluo some reassurance.
After the Jin people captured Kaifeng, they had no plan to occupy the area north of the Yellow River for a long time because of the threats from Western Liao and Xixia, as well as the resistance of the Hebei West Route Rebels.
Before withdrawing to the north, the Jin people supported Zhang Bangchang, the former left prime minister of the Song Dynasty, to establish the puppet Chu regime, and tried to control the area north of the Yellow River by controlling Zhang Bangchang.
Some officials supported Zhang Bangchang, such as Wang Shiyong.
But some officials were just forced to do so, and they still had the Song Dynasty in their hearts, such as Lu Haowen.
After the salute, Lu Haowen hurriedly asked Zhao Yingluo to take the main seat, while he took his seat at the bottom.
"Didn't His Highness follow the Second Emperor abducted by the Jin people and go north? Why did he appear in Kaifeng City?"
Zhao Yingluo then briefly told how she escaped, which again made Lu Haowen sigh.
"What are your plans now, Your Highness?"
Zhao Yingluo spit out an answer that surprised Lu Haowen, "She lives in seclusion in Kaifeng!"
"Living in seclusion in Kaifeng? Your Highness should know that the city of Kaifeng no longer belongs to the Song Dynasty..."
"Of course I know this, but sooner or later Kaifeng City will become the capital of the Song Dynasty again."
"What your Highness said is absolutely true. Now King Qin's troops are about to arrive at Kaifeng City, and His Royal Highness King Kang is recruiting troops in Xiangzhou. I believe that Kaifeng City will return to the Song Dynasty in more than a month."
Zhao Yingluo smiled and counted on King Kang, Zhao Gou who would not even save his own father and brother for the sake of the throne?
Weak and unassertive, he made peace with the Jin State, resulting in the loss of a large area of the Song Dynasty north of the Huaihe River, and half of the country fell.
"Lord Lu, are you too optimistic? My imperial brother is thinking of crossing south as soon as possible so that he can stay far away from the Kingdom of Jin and stay in peace in the south of the Yangtze River. How come he has any plans to come to Kaifeng City?"
"Your Highness, be careful. Now 'everyone' has sent the Great Song Dynasty Treasure Seal to Xiangzhou, and asked His Highness King Kang to set off to Kaifeng to ascend the treasure. It is expected that news will come in the next day or two. If His Highness King Kang ascends the throne, the monarch and his ministers will be united, and there will be great success." With the support of the Song people, it is expected that the Jin people will not dare to invade the South again."
Zhao Yingluo smiled helplessly. She did not laugh at Lu Haowen's optimism. After all, he did not know the future like she did. When news came from Xiangzhou, he would know that what he said was true.
"Master Lu, apart from you, please do not let anyone else know about my stay in Kaifeng City. I only need to say that I am your distant relative."
"I obey my orders!"
"Besides that, I have a favor."
"Your Highness, just give orders!"
"I wonder if Mr. Lu has a farm outside Kaifeng? I want to rent some."
"Thanks to the 'Daojun Emperor', I have a thousand acres of land in the west of Kaifeng City. Since Your Highness needs it, I will give it to His Highness. Why should we talk about 'lease'?"
Zhao Yingluo smiled lightly, "How can I rob your property? The rent will be paid on time. Don't worry, Mr. Lu."
Although Lu Haowen didn't know what she was using the land for, he still ordered the housekeeper Zhou Wang to pass on the message that the thousand acres of land was at her disposal. As for the rent?There is no royal land in the world. This land belongs to her old Zhao family. If she doesn’t know what to do, she will hang herself as an old man because he doesn’t want to live too long! (End of this chapter)
