Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Isn't that an exaggeration?" Zhao Kai exclaimed in surprise.

"Whether it's exaggerated or not,"

"Even my elder brother can write articles in praise,"

Zhao Shu said,

"With your literary talent, elder brother,"

"If one sings praises of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers,"

"It will surely please the Crown Prince."

Zhao Kai remained silent.

I started to think about this matter seriously.

There are no high walls blocking the way here.

Although soldiers were assigned to guard and patrol the area,

But if the princes are plotting to escape...

There is a certain chance of successfully escaping.

The reason why no one ran away was

It's because they have nowhere to go.

Should they go to the southeast to seek refuge with Emperor Huizong of Song?

Don't be ridiculous, they discussed it privately.

The southeastern regime is estimated to be short-lived.

They will be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty sooner or later.

They'll get arrested a second time.

Should they go north and seek refuge with the puppet regime?

They are legitimate princes.

He was very likely to be killed by the false emperor's confidants.

Moreover, they didn't have much money on them.

It's estimated that it hasn't even left the capital region yet.

For the rest of the journey, they would have to beg.

Maybe we haven't even reached the Yangtze River yet.

He had already starved to death by the roadside.

They defected to former Song officials halfway through their journey.

They really couldn't trust them.

They were afraid of being taken to the authorities.

Anyway, Zhao Yuan won't kill them.

They even gave out monthly rations.

Better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

Since we have already accepted reality,

Your mindset will change accordingly.

As they wrote their farming experiences,

They all sang wildly in praise of the new emperor and crown prince's wisdom.

Zhao Kai was no exception.

Although unwilling to do farm work

But he is extremely good at writing about his farming experiences.

Most of the article is just flattering the crown prince.

After some brainstorming, Zhao Kai even came up with a title for the article.

It is called "Ode to the Great Victory of the Celestial Empire in its Conquest of Xia".

"What a pity about my younger sisters,"

"They all died young, otherwise they would surely have gained the favor of the Crown Prince,"

Zhao Kai greatly envied Zhao Fujin's twin brothers.

"Hachiro and the others,"

"Life is really comfortable."

Zhao Shu was also very envious and nodded, saying,

"The three brothers had two oxen,"

"I heard Zhao Zhen will be sixteen next year,"

"The Crown Prince will also provide another ox for plowing."

"Farmers in the surrounding area who don't have cattle,"

"Who doesn't try to please them?"

"Just a few days ago, someone even gave me eggs."

As the two brothers were talking,

His younger brother, Zhao Di, rushed over.

"Lady Wen'an (Zhao Fujin) has arrived,"

"We've arrived at Eighth Brother's house!"

Zhao Kai suddenly stood up.

Throw away those tender corn kernels.

He rushed home and summoned his wives, concubines, and children.

Tell your family to quickly wash their faces and change into clean clothes.

When the family arrived outside Zhao Yu's courtyard,

Dozens of people had already gathered there.

"The sinner Zhao Kai, along with his entire family, pays his respects to the two ladies!"

Zhao Kai, who was proud and arrogant and unwilling to do farm work,

He actually knelt down and kowtowed to his two half-sisters.

Zhao Fujin quickly said, "Brother, sister-in-law, please don't do this."

"Please rise quickly."

After a while,

All personnel have arrived.

Zhao Fujin chatted with the group for a while, and finally said,

"It's not easy to leave the palace,"

"I still need to visit my sisters at the women's camp,"

"We won't linger here any longer."

"His Majesty has decreed that you cannot be given any money,"

"But there are exceptions."

"I gave the soldiers some money,"

"Ask them to buy some meat,"

"Everyone is welcome to come to my eighth brother's house tomorrow for a meal of rice and meat dishes."

The nobles who used to enjoy fine food and clothing every day,

I just heard that I can have a meal of meat.

I found myself unconsciously swallowing my saliva.

Zhao Yu stood tall and proud.

We ate the meal at his house.

It's like he's treating us.

From now on, all the brothers will try even harder to please him.

"Respectfully seeing off the two ladies!"

A group of former dynasty princes,

They escorted the two sisters as they left.

The women, dressed in plain clothes,

They were also staring intently at Zhao Fujin and Zhao Fujin's clothes.

They looked at it again and again with envious eyes.

The two sisters had just left.

Then a passerby came to deliver the imperial decree.

The imperial edict followed the format of the Song Dynasty.

There is no divine mandate.

Moreover, ordinary imperial edicts do not require bathing or changing clothes.

"The Ming Dynasty issued an edict appointing Zhao Huan as the Agricultural Promotion Official of Kaifeng Prefecture, which reads..."

Chapter 1757 Is it possible to do this?

After the imperial edict was read,

Everyone looked at Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan and his family were overjoyed, as if they had been granted a windfall.

He couldn't help but kneel down to express his gratitude.

They were finally free.

Moreover, one could also become an official.

Although he was only a low-ranking probationary agricultural official...

But as long as you learn more agricultural skills,

He could be officially promoted to the ninth rank very quickly.

Zhao Huan rushed home to write a memorial to the throne.

He wrote a letter of thanks to the emperor for his kindness.

He expressed his determination to serve as an official diligently in the future.

As for his throne being taken by Zhao Yuan...

Hmm... is that true?

From Zhao Yuan's perspective,

He wasn't afraid of Emperor Huizong of Song, who controlled the southeast.

Are you afraid that Zhao Huan will find an opportunity to escape once he gains his freedom?
