Chapter 161

On the first day of February 12 in Shaoxing, ten days had passed since the emperor appeared.

In the past ten days, under the leadership of Xin Ciying, the Lin'an Government Office tried more than 1000 cases. I don't know if any of them were wrongly convicted, but there must be none that slipped through the net.

The troops brought by Wang Xie were either those who did not have time to commit crimes, such people were in the minority, and all of them were sentenced to exile; the rest were not left behind, and all their heads were left outside the lobby of the Lin'an government office.

Three guillotines, the guillotine has become blunt.

After the end of the first month, although it was still cold, the breath of spring could already be felt, and it happened to be a rare sunny day, so Zhao Guan's family invited everyone to come together and set up wine on the small West Lake, which was also regarded as saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Speaking of which, since that day, this is the first time that Zhao Ding has met the emperor in private... This His Majesty obviously said a lot, but after ten days passed, he did not move at all.

At least Zhao Ding didn't know, after all, no matter whether it was in the temple or in the rivers and lakes, all the disturbances could not escape Zhao Xiangye's eyes.

Maybe, it's just a moment of anger. Your Majesty should be able to tell clearly what is more important at this time.

The central ministers sat on one side, and the royal relatives sat on the other... When the officials came back, they promoted Wang Jieyu to be a royal concubine, and now they sit by his side. To be honest, this family background is not considered prominent. Even some humble concubines have become the closest woman in the harem to the position of queen, which is indeed something that many people have never thought about.

After all, compared to Chen Miaochang and Zhong Yu, this person's appearance is not outstanding, and...

Zhong Yu is already pregnant. From August last year to now, it seems that it is time to give birth, and the pregnancy is also very exciting. This can almost be regarded as the most exciting thing this year, and its importance is no less than Yue Fei captured Kaifeng...

Yue Fei is still in Ruzhou... The advantage of fighting on several fronts is that the battlefield is opened up, and the harvest will be more if you move forward. , the pressure to bear is naturally several times more than other places.

Here we are talking about Zhao Mi and Yang Yizhong, Han Shizhong can still understand, after all, he has already pushed to the northernmost point, and when the rest of the troops failed to keep up, he can reach this point, which is considered perfect; But what about the two commanders?

A mere Suzhou and a mere Li Qiong. From last year to this year, the two combined nearly 7 horses. They just couldn't take a step forward. The Ministry of War did not dare to urge them. The self-esteem of these two people, and then do something irrational.

That is to say, the official family sent an eunuch to the north every day, neither scolding nor boasting, just asking the two of them:
"Or forget it? If not, hand over the soldiers to Huang Yanjie, and you can go back to Lin'an to rest. They are all my heart and soul, so don't make any mistakes, you two grandsons."

This kind of tone is more unacceptable than direct insults, but the emperor doesn't care. Even the one sent out today is already the tenth person. I don't know how the two commanders will react. , but definitely not happy.

Liu Bang couldn't stop winking at Chen Miao, but the latter didn't seem to see it, which made him a little sad.

Wang Chan and Zhong Yu, one is dead and the other is pregnant, so I can't help but stay with them for a few more days, and even though he is in Lin'an, his heart is still outside, and he has to ask and do things every day I don't know how many things there are, so naturally she is a little cold.

Logically speaking, family law should be practiced on the bed, but who told Liu Ji to be an affectionate person?After a pause, he leaned towards her and whispered love words.

"The official only said that he misses his concubine very much, but he has never looked for a concubine in the future. I don't know where else he misses besides his mouth."

"I'm thinking about everything, especially..."

Before he finished speaking, he only felt that his shoulder was patted, and when he looked back, it turned out that it was the Queen Mother Wei who had been starved for many days.

"Ninth brother..."

In fact, at her age, she can't eat much at all. The emperor lowered her supply. One is that this woman is asking too much, and the other is that she has done something wrong.

I don't know who called her here. I don't know how many times she begged to see her these days, but she was rejected by Liu Bang. For him, there is no need to spend time on a person who is destined to die.

Seeing her, the emperor's expression immediately darkened. He was about to say something, but he felt Chen Miaochang's hand grabbing him. Knowing what she meant, Liu Bang looked at her and nodded, signaling her to rest assured.

Daoji has been living in the inner palace, under the care of Zhongfeng and Zhongyu. Apart from eating, what he does every day is to be in a daze, and then ask the emperor if His Majesty is back. Like a wooden man, he didn't even speak a word.

So when Liu Bang returned to the palace that night, he didn't go anywhere, and went to see him directly.

"Daoji, are you looking for me?"

He thought that Daoji wanted to see him because he wanted to avenge him; he also thought that the little monk had no support and regarded himself as his adult; he even thought that he would blame himself, after all, he forced his parents to death. It's my own mother.

But he never expected that the little Kunren kowtowed to himself three times before leaving.

"His Majesty the Emperor is kind to Dao Ji, and Dao Ji knows it in his heart."

"So Daoji has been waiting for you here, and when you come back, it's not like leaving without saying goodbye."

Seeing that he seemed to have grown up a lot, Liu Bang couldn't help but feel a little sorry, and wanted to caress his bald head like a bow, but he raised his hand again and again, but he couldn't let it go.

It is always impossible to go back to the past, the gap has already arisen, and nothing can fill it unless the person is resurrected from the dead.

"You are so young, where can you go?"

"Just live in the palace. I will avenge you, make your father an official, and let you eat meat. When I grow up, I will give you a big house and marry ten wives for you."

The little monk clasped his hands together: "Your Majesty, everything in Daoji and the world has been cut off. The little monk is originally a person from outside Fang, so he should go back to a place outside Fang."

"Then you are going to Lingyin Temple?"

Fohai is there, no matter how people guard him, it can be regarded as a safe place to go.

The little boy smiled, noncommittal.

This child seems to have changed his soul, his every move has completely lost the frivolity of the past... It is said that it was the past, but it was only a matter of last year.

Seeing that he was about to go out, Liu Bang had a lot to say to him, so he reached out to stop him. For some reason, he was clearly in front of him, but he was always one step behind him, no matter how big he was, even running. Get up, one step behind him.

With just this step, his hands could no longer touch the little monk.

"Daoji!"

Seeing that he was about to leave the imperial city, but there was not even a single person around, Liu Bang didn't feel any difference, only felt that he was tired from running, so he called him.

When he looked back...maybe he misread it, anyway, Liu Bang felt that there were many expressions on his face, one moment seemed to be heart-wrenchingly sad, and the other seemed to be joyously happy, changing, sad and happy Together, they finally settled on... Majestic.

I don't know why I feel that a ten-year-old child is solemn, but until now, in retrospect, besides this word, Liu Bang can't find any other words to describe Daoji's expression.

"Your Majesty, stay here, and the monk will pray for you day and night."

After saying that, he left without looking back, and waited until he could no longer see his figure. Only then did Liu Bang come to his senses, only to find that he was still in the inner palace, and there was no sign of the young monk around.

It was like a dream, and he couldn't tell if it was real or not, but what he could be sure of was that he had indeed lost this little monk.

From the day when he opened his eyes and saw the Great Song Kingdom for the first time, the few people who accompanied him died and walked, and he finally felt a little sad, so he had to drink a lot of wine to let himself temporarily Forget about the past.

Seeing this poisonous woman at this time, Liu Bang put away the smile in his eyes, ignored her, and just slapped her.

Everyone knew that the emperor had something to say, so they all fell silent. Seeing Zhao Guan's family holding a wine glass, they said:
"With the Northern Expedition, thanks to everyone's joint efforts, we have the situation that is beneficial to us today. Although some unpleasant things happened, it is not bad after all."

"I couldn't celebrate the New Year with you, so I will make up a glass here today. This first glass of wine is my respect for you all."

Everyone in the next seat got up and drank the glass of wine with Zhao Guan's family.

"The second cup... people will die in war, and people will die in trouble. No matter who dies, no matter what the cause of death is, this glass of wine should be respected to them."

As he spoke, he spilled the wine in the glass on the ground, everyone followed suit, and soon, the smell of wine spread in the pavilion on the small West Lake.

"As a person, I have a self-knowledge characteristic, that is, whoever treats me well, I will treat him well, and whoever treats me badly, I will treat him badly"

"Thinking of being the king of a country, you still can't help yourself, let many people who shouldn't die die, and many people who don't deserve to live... the dead people don't really matter, but the living people... Thinking about it, my bones are itching, and I wish I could gnaw off the flesh of them myself."

We all know that officials always like to get straight to the point. Many times, what he didn't say at the beginning will never be said again in the future.

But today he toasted two glasses of wine before he started to speak the truth of these words. A straight person would think it was nothing, but a person with a ghost in his heart would inevitably overthink it.

"The Marquis of the Kingdom of Jin..."

Seeing that he really clicked on him, Zhao Huan hurriedly bowed, just like what he did to the golden man before, his whole body arched up, and his head almost hit the ground:
"What is His Majesty's order?"

"I can't talk about dispatching. I heard that you danced at the Jinren's banquet back then. Today is a good day, so come and join everyone in the fun."

As soon as he said this, the faces of many people became ugly.

Not to mention that Zhao Guan's family is more than Jinren, just say that he doesn't recognize this eldest brother, but Zhao Huan is still Zhao's family after all.

Let the Zhao family do this, let the former monarch do this for his courtiers... If it gets out, the emperor's reputation will be rotten. Those who danced without Zhao Huan's reputation would be stinky.

So soon, voices of opposition rang out, one after another.

Zhao Huan was also a little awkward in the same place, because he was forced to be helpless in the north, and they were all outsiders, with unfamiliar faces, they danced as they danced, but their underwear was still there.

But this is the Song Dynasty, everyone knows the basics, and there are many old acquaintances, if they dance, the underwear will be gone.

But while looking at Lao Jiu, he didn't dare to say no, and stood up, making a gesture to take off his outer robe.

"Follow the order, obey the order."

He smiled sweetly, and Liu Bang smiled even sweeter, especially after seeing the old princess holding Zhao Huan's arm with one hand, the corners of her mouth almost opened to the root of her ears.

"1 million taels."

"Row!"

The old princess asked the price quickly, and Liu Bang agreed quickly, but in an instant, he got another 1 taels of silver.

To be honest, plus Zhao Huan was asked to go fishing in the lake a few days ago, and Zhao Huan was asked to go to Fenghuang Mountain to chop firewood for him yesterday, today, and the 12 taels of silver agreed before, Zhao Guan's family has already paid for it. Squeezed 15 taels of silver from the old princess.

But the emperor was not only not satisfied, but his appetite was getting bigger and bigger. No matter how rich the Qian family was, they couldn't stand such spending!
So, she took advantage of this and said:

"I have stayed in Lin'an for many days, and the first month is over. Now, it's time to go."

"The official family is blessed and blessed, and I hope that the Jin people can be driven away as soon as possible, so that the common people can go home earlier."

The old princess didn't know how much she would have to be blackmailed by the emperor if she continued to stay. She was originally invited, but now that the work is done and the money is spent, it is time to go back to pray.

As for Zhao Huan... Raising a wealthy and idle person is nothing more than opening her mouth to her. On the contrary, she has given the Qian family a good reputation of being loyal to the emperor, and it is not considered to be treating the Zhao family slowly. It makes sense.

Liu Bang was really reluctant for her to leave. After all, he saw the first batch of 12 taels of silver last night. He even went to see it himself, and had people check it several times.

Such a wealthy God of Wealth, how could he be willing to let her go.

"Why don't you just live in Lin'an... As long as you ask, you can choose any house in this city. I will definitely satisfy you!"

The old princess shook her head:
"The loess is buried between my eyebrows, and I just want to live a few days in peace, so the officials don't want to persuade me any more."

Liu Bang hesitated: "Are you really going?"

"If you want to go, you have to go. There is no truth or falsehood."

"Okay..." Accepting this fact with some difficulty, he said again: "Then the rest..."

The old woman was so angry that she coughed a lot, and it was Queen Mother Wei who quickly handed over the water, which slowed her down:
"You're still afraid that I won't succeed without your money!"

"There are 3 taels left, and I will have someone from the Qian's merchant in Lin'an City bring it to you in a while!"

I have seen shameless people, such as emperors who are shameless in the status of ninety-five-year-olds, and I have never heard of many people from ancient times to the present.

The old princess was angry again and again, but she still couldn't figure out how the gentleman-like emperor who went south with her back then became what he is now!
Liu Bang said with a smile: "Once you are born and second time you are familiar, how can I not trust you."

"It's just that I'm a little worried."

With a cold snort in her heart, the old princess said yin and yang:

"You still worry about others, it really opened my eyes."

Liu Bang didn't care about her tone: "I'm really worried, I'm worried that you can't leave Lin'an."

The old princess didn't think too much about it, but Zhao Huan heard the threatening meaning in his mouth, and immediately became agitated:
"Your Majesty... you, you have received the money, you must not go back on your word, the emperor... yes, you want to promise it!"

The old woman didn't believe it. She was not in a hurry to disregard her face in front of so many ministers, so she just asked:

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Bang looked at Zhao Huan, and then at the Empress Dowager Wei below:
"This city, this Lin'an City, has been besieged by the golden men."

He spoke calmly, as if he was talking about something that was not a big deal.

Everyone seems to know every word, but when they are connected together, it seems to become a series of thunderbolts, causing Zhao Huan to sit paralyzed on the ground.
