Chapter 262 Tiger General Zhang Jue
He was not married in his previous life, let alone having children. At this moment, he really had some idea of wanting a child in his heart.
Concubine Yang noticed his love for Liu Hongyi and Xiyi's children and smiled.
Wen Huixiang was grateful to Zhao Dongting. Because of her infertility, it was the treatment of Doctor An arranged by Zhao Dongting to cure her.
Over the past few days, Wen Huixiang has talked to Liu Hongyi at home about the great grace that made her husband sacrifice his life and protect the court.
Although Ying Er has not been officially adopted as a concubine at the banquet, the ministers have already known the news. The female family members from various families have congratulated her repeatedly, and are close to this future concubine.
This made Ying Er look shy and glanced at Zhao Dongting from time to time, and was even more grateful and ashamed.
She really never thought of becoming a concubine, but she just thought that it would be enough to be able to accompany Zhao Dongting in this life.
Zhao Dongting took her as his concubine, which in her opinion was a gift. Because her family was definitely not qualified to be a concubine.
It's a pity that her family was lingering and could not share her joy with her.
At night, Zhao Dongting called Yunjin, Zhang Ru, Yang Shufei and others to hold a bonfire party in his yard.
Concubine Yang Shu and the others all enjoyed the taste and liked such parties. At this party, there was no queen mother, no emperor, and no maid, and everyone seemed to be family members. This made them feel the warm feeling that they rarely felt after entering the palace. This is the feeling of home.
Concubine Yang Shu's family had long been slaughtered by the Yuan army, and Ying'er and Zhao Dongting held hands and jumped, unable to help crying.
When the weather was in full swing, a guard suddenly came in outside to report, "Emperor, someone claims to be the Sichuan governor Zhang Jue, and is looking for a meeting outside the palace."
Zhao Dongting was stunned and then showed a look of extreme surprise.
Zhang Ru's flawless face showed an extremely excited look and hurried out to the courtyard.
At this time, it was exactly one month since Jun Tianfang rushed to Xi'an, and he actually brought Zhang Jue to Haikang County on New Year's Eve.
Zhao Dongting asked Concubine Yang and the others to stay in the yard, and then ran out of the palace.
With his identity, this was not the case. But as a Sichuan tiger general, Zhang Jue defended Chongqing to the death and deserved such courtesy from Zhao Dongting.
Furthermore, the Southern Song Dynasty is in decline, and even if Zhao Dongting can do it, he will still behave like a respectful and respectful person.
There is some cunning and artificiality in the middle, but with the current situation of the Southern Song Dynasty, if he still stands tall and posed as an emperor, the monarch and ministers below will inevitably be disunited. Zhao Dongting never thought that those ministers would shed tears and blood for the Southern Song Dynasty based on their loyalty and righteousness in their hearts. What will everyone treat him? What will everyone treat him?
Outside the Haikang Palace, fireworks kept rushing into the sky, blooming brilliantly in the night.
Zhao Dongting followed Zhang Ru to the palace gate.
Jun Tian floated in green clothes, and his slender body stood outside the door, looming under the brilliance of fireworks. Next to him was a burly man wearing a gray coarse cloth.
This man is about fifty years old, and he must be over 1.85 meters tall. He is quite majestic in the south.
With a national face, thick eyebrows, and a momentum of being arrogant without anger, it looks extremely calm.
Zhang Ru pounced on her and rushed straight into the man's arms.
He is undoubtedly the Sichuan tiger general Zhang Jue.
Zhao Dongting walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, Senior Jun, you are back."
Jun Tian offered a gift, "Mr. Jun has met the emperor."
Zhang Jue, who was hugged by Zhang Ru tightly, was stunned, and then his eyes turned red, he gently pushed Zhang Ru away, and knelt on the ground, "The criminal Zhang Jue bowed to the emperor!"
The guards of the palace gate knelt down one after another.
Zhao Dongting personally helped Zhang Jue up and whispered: "Mr. Zhang is a tiger general in my court. How could he say that he was guilty?"
However, Zhang Jue knelt on the ground and refused to get up, saying, "I failed to defend Chongqing, which caused the suffering of life. Please give me a punishment."
Zhao Dongting secretly moved his internal energy and forced Zhang Jue to rise up, saying, "The Yuan thief is powerful, and it is very difficult for Lord Zhang to be able to defend Chongqing Prefecture for so many years. If I give you blame, wouldn't I bear the reputation of being a fool? Lord Zhang must not say such things again."
As he said that, he grabbed Zhang Jue's hand and said, "Let's go and follow me to the palace for meals. Lord Zhang returns safely. I am very happy, very happy."
Zhang Jue looked grateful and was also a little grateful.
When he was in Chongqing, he heard that the young emperor suddenly became enlightened, with great wisdom and great strategies, and respect for the wise and humble men. He thought it was incredible. Now when he saw Zhao Dongting's attitude, he felt that he had worked hard to resist the Yuan thief over the years and had no effort. The appearance of such an emperor in the Song Dynasty may have really waited for the hope of restoring the country.
Jun Tianfang and Zhang Ru followed Zhao Dongting and Zhang Jue behind.
After walking dozens of meters away, Zhao Dongting asked, "Senior Jun, how did you rescue Lord Zhang back?"
Jun Tian looked at him and said, "As the emperor said, after leaving Pingnan, he hurried to Zhao Lao'an outside Xi'an. Just like the emperor's dream, after waiting for only two days, the Yuan army actually escorted Zhang Xiandi by and stopped at Zhao Lao'an. Zhang Xiandi believed his friend's words and almost took off his bowstring in the thatched cottage. Fortunately, I stopped him in time. Unfortunately, there were many Yuan troops, so I only rescued Zhang Xiandi, and several virtuous generals in Chongqing Prefecture, who were shot to death by arrows."
He still thinks it's a bit incredible when he thinks about it now.
Although I often hear that dreams have the power of signs, it is unheard of that as accurate as Zhao Dongting's dreams have lived for decades.
Zhang Jue also heard Jun Tianfang say this on the way to Haikang, and at this time he couldn't help but ask: "The emperor really has this dream?"
Zhao Dongting nodded, "If it weren't for this dream, how could I know that Lord Zhang would pass by Zhao Lao'an?"
Zhang Jue couldn't help but sigh, "It's really amazing."
Zhao Dongting grabbed his hand and didn't let go, laughing loudly: "This is God's mercy, so I can be lucky enough to continue to be helped by a tiger general like Lord Zhang."
Zhang Jue looked humble, but he thought it was destiny in his heart, and immediately said: "Super serving the court, don't refuse!"
Zhao Dongting said, "I don't want you to die, I want you all to live well and accompany me to climb the top of An City."
Zhang Jue's eyes were red and he could no longer speak.
He was a tiger general, a loyal minister, and a national hero who still insisted on resisting the Yuan Dynasty when the Song Dynasty was about to collapse. What he was most hoped for in his heart was that the Song Dynasty could restore its country and recreate the prosperity of Lin'an in the past.
If it weren't for the war, the Southern Song Dynasty was actually quite prominent in the fields of economy, culture, technology, etc., and was a brilliant pearl in the long river of history.
However, this glorious color, due to the weakness of the army, caused the Southern Song Dynasty to be criticized in later generations.
All the way to Zhao Dongting's bedroom.
