News of the Miao and Liu mutiny spread quickly throughout Jiangnan.

Although more than a hundred messengers were sent to form two teams, they rushed by land, flowed up the river along the north side, went straight into Jingxiang, from Hanzhong to Qinling Mountains, and straight into Hanzhong.

Because Henan was still in the hands of the Jin people, he had to go far and go in this way and detour to Chang'an.

Miao and Liu also knew that they were in a hurry. While sending messengers, they also went to the palace to meet the empress dowager. They asked for an edict again to calm the people. They ordered Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yang Yizhong and other troops to stay in the garrison and not to move without any action.

The Song Dynasty did not have the practice of sending eunuchs to pass edicts. These edicts were issued from Lin'an, and officials of all sizes issued edicts were on the road at night and went to various places.

The person who was ordered to go to Zhenjiang to issue an edict was that day when the mutiny was in a decisive manner to prevent the rebellious soldiers from rushing to the city tower. When Zhao Gou was in power, he gradually trusted him. He used the position of the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue to control the armored armor of the ban. Although the official position was not high, his duties were actually very important and he had a great influence on the generals and soldiers of the imperial guards.

That day the rioters rushed into the inner palace. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that the few guards in front of the palace would not be left.

After Zhao Gou lost Yangzhou, he did not win the hearts of the people for a considerable period of time and was resentful to both the government and the country. The Central Imperial Guard launched a rebellion, which was also a manifestation of this disappointment.

But as now, even the closest guards around him were almost abandoned because Zhao Huan returned.

Although Ye Zongyan would temporarily protect Zhao Gou that day, so as not to be injured by the rioters, it was just a matter of loyalty to the emperor of the scholars and officials. In his opinion, although Zhao Gou believed in him very much, he was not an emperor worthy of respect and loyalty.

The Emperor Jingkang, who is far away in Chang'an, is the orthodox.

Moreover, apart from orthodox, Zhao Huan was obviously much more heroic than Zhao Gou. Except for a few of Zhao Gou's confidants, no one really wanted to support him.

If Zhao Huan hadn't been worried about causing civil strife, he knew in his heart that there had been a time bomb around Zhao Gou, and even if he forced Zhao Gou to abdicate, Zhao Gou would have to obey the order.

Zhao Huan did not force Zhao Gou to abdicate. As a civil official, he was highly valued by Zhao Gou. Naturally, he still had to do his best to serve the country and the country.

The situation and ideas that were complicated and misleading were completely unaware of Miao Fu and other military generals.

When asked the civil servants to go out to issue edicts to appease the people, these imperial guards were worried that the civil servants would not accept it and would not be willing to serve. If this were the case, the morale of the military and the people would be in chaos and it would be difficult to maintain.

But when they were looking for Ye Zongye, he immediately took over his life without any hesitation.

Due to the urgent matter, after leaving Lin'an, Ye Zongxian and others said at night that they rarely stopped except to stop. They were eating and drinking, and they were all on the road. Except for being sleepy, they could not bear it, so they got off the horse and took a nap and then continued to move forward. In this way, in just five days, it was less than a hundred miles away from Zhenjiang.

When he knew he was about to arrive, Ye Zongyan fell in the evening and ordered a rest for a while. He had a full meal in a small hotel with a group of people and slept for two hours. When he got up, although it was dark all night and the cold wind blew, everyone was full of energy and the horses came back. Although they were on the top of the stars and the moon, they rushed to the road overnight, but they didn't feel very bitter for a while.

He ran all the way, and when the sky turned pale, roosters crowed from the villages along the way. When pedestrians and farmers who had gotten up early appeared, Ye Zongyan stopped for a while and asked less than ten miles away from Zhenjiang, everyone felt relieved.

This long-distance trip was like tying the servants who accompanied Ye Zongyan to issue edicts and the guards of the imperial guards who were protecting him, as tired as if they had lost their skin.

The winter in Jiangnan is unbearable, and the weather is about to be clear and the season is the most unbearable. Although everyone wears very thick clothes, the cold wind is like cutting a knife and cutting an axe, and it keeps burying into the human body, making it cool and cool.

Even so, Ye Zongyan's heart was like a fire burning. The two emperors' fights greatly affected the psychology of the scholars and officials and became a heavy stone in his heart. Now in his opinion, the great thing has been decided. The soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty will resist the Jin soldiers under the leadership of Emperor Jingkang. The Song Dynasty has a large land and a large population, with strong military and financial resources. From now on, what else can I be afraid of?

He was generous by nature and rode his horse all the way. He felt the cold wind piercing into the bones. When he looked at the city of Zhenjiang, he felt even more happy. While roaring in his mouth, he turned his head to follow the servants and ordered him to say, "It's so early, everyone should work harder. After entering the city, the edict is started to be read, so you can go for breakfast and have a good rest."

The servants and soldiers following him were already very cold, and at this time he kept going, and no one dared to speak. Although the sun was already rising, a red sun hung above his head, and he could not give anyone a trace of heat. Everyone was already cold. After hearing what he said, an old family member laughed and said, "Sir, since we have arrived in Zhenjiang City, we don't have to hurry at this moment. Let's find a breakfast shop outside the city, use some breakfast at will, and drink some hot porridge."

As soon as he started, the rest of the people said in a lingering manner: "That's right, eating a few cakes and drinking some hot porridge can also remove the cold!"

"This ghost weather, this wind is like a knife, and I'm afraid there will be no heat in my chest."

"The hardest thing is riding on a horse. Even stomping my feet can't be done. I'm afraid my feet will be difficult to walk in a while."

Listening to everyone's complaints, Ye Zongye smiled and said nothing. After everyone finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "We can't get off the horse and eat, it's too late. I have a heavy responsibility, so how can I delay it at all."

In fact, he was also very sad and wanted to go to the ground to rest and drink some hot porridge to warm up his body. He just thought that he would meet Han Shizhong and make a decision. When the imperial edict of Emperor Jingkang arrived, there was no recurrence.

When he thought of this, his sense of responsibility and his eagerness to know Han Shizhong's attitude made him reluctant to stay for a while.

Yin Han smiled and said, "After suffering for so many days, I don't have to worry about it for a while."

He stopped everyone's words first, and then ordered: "Come on, take out the wine I bought yesterday and share it. Everyone should drink to keep the cold!"

He took out the wine pot on the horse's back and sipped a few sips into his mouth. A few drops fell on his beard. Ye Zongyan didn't wipe it, but just stretched his tongue and threw it all into his mouth.

While drinking, I took out a few pieces of jerky, chewed them a few sips, and then drank a few more sips of wine.

He had a great alcohol capacity, and even if he had come to a dozen pots, he would not get drunk. He thought that he would see Han Shizhong issue an edict, and after drinking a few sips, he only ate meat and did not drink alcohol. After a while, he swallowed a few pieces of beef.

Such a manner not only did the imperial guards in front of him and behind him look stunned, but the people who came and went to Zhenjiang City Gate were also watching this official.

It was only because of his servants, but they still couldn't help but smile.

Zhenjiang City is very close to the Yangtze River. When you walk to the city gate, you only feel that the river wind is shaking, the sound of water is whistling, and a strong wind is coming, making people's clothes slap.

"happy!"

Ye Zongyan threw the wine pot in his hand, turned his head and looked at the Yangtze River in the north.

It’s still far away, you can only see water rising from afar, but you can’t see a wave of rivers like a belt.

He felt a little regretful in his heart, but he remembered a poem he heard not long ago. After drinking a few sips of wine, he felt that there was great potential for national affairs, so he couldn't help but chant: "Life is a hero, and death is a hero. From now on, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River!"

After chanting, he waved his whip and said, "I hope my soldiers of the Song Dynasty cross the river and do not retreat again!"

Before he finished speaking, someone answered not far away: "Good poem!"

Listening to the sound, it was a woman.

Ye Zongyan turned to see that a beautiful young woman was looking at him with a smile. Seeing his eyes turned, the woman did not avoid it, but tilted her hand and said with a smile: "I admire the good poems made by wise men!"

"How dare you? This is not done by the lower official, but by another strange woman."

"oh?"

The woman raised her eyebrows and was surprised.

Although she was so beautiful and beautiful, she was so heroic that she was better than a man when she did this.

Ye Zongyan looked at Daqi and saw that she was dressed in luxury and looked like a noble lady. She was actually riding on a horse, holding a baby in her arms, and wearing a sword around her waist.

As a believer of Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, he did not want to talk to a woman on the street. At this moment, he was defeated by the woman's demeanor and replied unknowingly: "This poem was written by Li Yi'an. I also heard people chanting and reading it in Lin'an. I just remembered that the Yangtze River was right in front of me, and chanted it out without realizing it."

"That's true. Li Yian has always been a graceful poem. He can write such a generous and wonderful poem with great masculinity. It's really admirable!"

The woman suddenly realized her mind and then exclaimed, but then smiled and said to Ye Zongye: "The adult's face is full of dust, and it seems that he has important matters, so the young woman won't delay the adult."

After saying that, he even held his fists and bowed again, with a cool and straightforward posture, and said, "Sir!"

Ye Zongyan was stunned, but he also replied, "Please, Madam!"

After answering the ceremony, he rode his horse and drove his horse straight to Han Shizhong's residence in the city.
