I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 165

"Yo, I really didn't realize that Wang Xiang is old, but he is much more flexible than young people."

I don't know how Wang Ciweng has survived until now. At the age of sixty, at this time, he is like a bottle of war god, standing in the middle of the circle made of ropes, and no one can get close to him.

It wasn't a big place at all, but Wang Ciweng's clothes were already in a mess... But at this time, who has the time to care about whether the clothes are in a mess?
The circle of more than 100 people has been reduced several times, and now it is only half of the original size. The circle is full of corpses. Although the people inside are still alive, they may lose their lives at any time.

"General, this is..."

Empress Dowager Wei was still on the horse, but she didn't dare to look any more at this time, so Zhao Huan put on a smiling face and asked.

Qin Da was also smiling, but his smile was much more sincere than the emperor, he nodded slightly:
"I forgot to tell you beforehand. As soon as you went out, we found that there were more people here."

"My emperor can't use so many craftsmen. As you know, grain and gold are very expensive in the north, and they can't support so many idlers."

"This is another person sent by Emperor Zhao. If I send it back later, I'm afraid I'll offend him. Don't blame us, we are really not easy to do."

After finishing speaking, Qin Da waved his hand and shouted at those people:
"Everyone, get ready, it's time to start again!"

"Old rules, three numbers!"

"three……"

After he said "three", the soldiers on both sides pulled back the rope in their hands...

The circle was much smaller again, and the people who were trying to squeeze in from the outer circle fell outside the circle in an instant before they could react.

The dozens of people were stunned, and just about to ask for mercy, they saw Qin Da angrily scolding the two soldiers:
"I said three numbers, why did you only count one and you moved your hands!"

"Isn't this cheating you nobles! Really, really!"

Seeing him talking like this, everyone thought there was a turning point, and they all echoed:

"Uncle Qin is wise, Uncle Qin is wise! Indeed, he only counted one number!"

"It's just pulled, it's not easy to put it back, everyone...be careful in your next life, don't stand in the wrong place again!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who had been guarding over there raised their knives and fell... In an instant, there were bursts of mournful cries, no matter whether they were dead or alive, these people were all cut down on the ground.

If he died immediately, he would have had a great time, if he still had breath... Then those soldiers pulled out the short knives around their waists and cut off their heads.

Those who hadn't breathed yet suffered a lot more, but they couldn't cry out, and they only knew the pain.

Zhao Huan couldn't bear it anymore, he turned his back and couldn't help retching. It's not that he hasn't seen murder before, but like this, the method of killing the heart first and then taking the life is really a shock to the Emperor Xiaociyuan. It's too big.

Even if the bystanders were like this, how about the people who experienced all this inside... Death happened right in front of them, and several people couldn't resist anymore, and started to run outside like crazy.

It's just that as soon as he stepped out of that circle, he immediately died here, only a dozen miles away from Lin'an City.

They were all rich and noble people in the past, but now they are as humble as ants... They have long been ants. Since the emperor sent them to work as coolies, their fate and fortune have long been different from before.

Some of the remaining people in the circle were still squeezing each other, standing an inch more in the middle would give them an extra inch of life; there were also some old and weak people who knelt down on the spot and kept moving. Kowtow towards Qin Da:

"Uncle Qin, for the sake of our old acquaintance, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

"You and I are both serving Prime Minister Qin. Even if you don't look at the face of the monk, you should look at the face of the Buddha. In the future, we will be happy to see Prime Minister Qin, and we can have a few words with him together."

"Uncle Qin, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me!"

"Didn't you say that Lin'an is better? Why did Your Majesty harm us so much!"

They can say anything, but judging from their tone, what many people can think of is the relationship between the chief steward of the Qin family and Qin Hui. These people were indeed brought out of the city by Zhao Huan himself. Turn your back to them, not daring to meet their eyes.

Fearing that they will go to hell, these people still think about themselves after being ghosts.

While retching, Zhao Huan also intermittently recognized the identity of the golden man who gave the orders.

Qin Hui's official family, why, has become a general of the Jin people!
He was already suspicious in his heart, but he still didn't dare to turn his head back, he just asked in a low voice:
"I don't know how many people the general will keep, but is there a specific number?"

He spoke in a low voice, but those people still listened to them. For a while, everyone forgot to speak and focused their eyes on Qin Da.

What Zhao Huan asked was what they most wanted to know.

If there is a specific number, quickly form an alliance, and it is serious to push others to death.

Qin Da held his chin, thought carefully for a while, and reported a number seriously.

"One, one is fine."

This almost cut off everyone's vitality. No one is sure that they can survive to the end, but no one wants to give up just like that.

Soon, the people in that circle began to squeeze together again.

Qin Da smiled apologetically at Zhao Huan:
"Look... I have to work here for a while, I really can't entertain you, why don't you go to the camp to see the Marshal? He has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhao Huan quickly got up and retched for a while, his face was full of tears and snot now, but now he couldn't care less, he just wanted to get out of here, out of this slaughter place.

The appearance of the Jin man killing the Song man for fun reminded him of many things, and many, many memories kept coming out of his mind. Countless familiar faces kept appearing back and forth before his eyes. The rein didn't even stand firmly on the first step, and fell directly to the ground, and it was Qin Da who helped him up.

"Don't be afraid. This matter has nothing to do with you. You'd better go in earlier. I'll come back to find you when the work here is over."

Zhao Huan didn't dare to answer him a word, he pulled the rein and walked forward with his head buried, no matter how fiercely the people behind him screamed, no matter how much they begged him, he just didn't look back.

Step by step, very firm.

Life and death are life and death, this place can't even protect itself, it really can't protect other people.

Constantly comforting himself, he couldn't help being a little irritable when he heard Queen Mother Wei start to sob again:
"Don't cry! I told you just now, if nothing happens, nothing happens!"

"Those people are not important. Jin Guo misremembered the number. They have explained it... Crying like this is annoying. You have to think about how they behave. Don't make trouble for yourself!"

His words had an effect, and the sobbing sound really subsided.

After finally arriving at the door of the big tent, there was a table outside, and a person was sitting in front of him, and beside that person, there was a big box half a person's height, which was filled with gold. silver jewelry.

Even in broad daylight, it was too swaying to keep one's eyes open.

When the two got closer, Zhao Huan helped Queen Mother Wei off the horse, and only then did he see the person in front of him clearly...

Empress Dowager Wei cried several times, the white powder on her face was already messed up, and now she had a painted face, she looked extremely ugly.

She recognized this person at a glance, she was a little trembling at this moment, but more than that, she was incomparably surprised.

"It's you!"

She recognized it, and Zhao Huan also recognized it. This is not the commander of the Imperial City Division, but who is Lao Jiu's brother-in-law!
Why did he appear here, in the camp of Jin Kingdom people?
The uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, Zhao Huan cupped his hands at this man and said:
"A kind of commander, you..."

If it were another day, or another place, Zhao Huan would never provoke or deal with this man, but it happened today, in this place.

Zhao Huan couldn't ignore him and couldn't ignore him, after all, he put on a low profile.

Zhong Feng is still unable to move his feet, and it is very likely that he will not be able to move in this life, but no one can tell what will happen in the future, as he is now, at least he can sit upright and move his hands .

"You two, wait a moment. Here are some things that the government has prepared for the Queen Mother. They are all the favorite things of the Queen Mother. It's a long journey, and I'm here to see the Queen Mother off."

He didn't call him 'Chen' but called him 'I', which was out of order, but at this moment, no one cared about it at all.

Instead, I heard him say that they were sent by the emperor. The two of them were more confused than the other. This is clearly the camp of the Jin Kingdom, and both of them have lived in the Jin Kingdom for 15 years. They are Jin people, Song people, and Jin people. People pretending to be Song people or Song people pretending to be Jin people can be seen through at a glance.

If not, Zhao Huan would not be so convinced.

Chong Feng stretched out a hand, motioning for the two to sit down and talk, the tent was behind him, the two nobles no longer had the coquettishness they had in Lin'an Imperial City, exchanged glances, and finally sat down down.

Seeing that Zhongfeng made tea for the two of them unhurriedly, he said while brewing:
"The Empress Dowager suffered a lot in the north. The whole world knows about it. It's right to come back to Lin'an to enjoy more."

"But the officials were puzzled, so they specially sent me to ask..."

He looked at the woman in front of him, and directly ignored the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan. The Empress Dowager Wei was already timid. After so many years of hard life, she has become like a mouse. Can startle her.

This is normal, after all, the courageous ones, like Zhao Gou's queen Xing Bingyi, like Zhao Huan's empress Zhu, these courageous ones have already died, how can they still live to this day.

Thinking that since she came back, she didn't even say a few words to her son, so she asked without waiting for Zhong Feng to finish speaking:
"Ninth brother..."

"Queen Mother!" Zhong Feng also interrupted her, "I'll tell you one last time, the son of heaven, the father and mother, even if you are the official's biological mother, please be careful!"

Empress Dowager Wei originally hated him very much, but now she didn't dare to get angry at all, she paused, and finally changed her words:
"What did the official ask?"

Zhong Feng was satisfied with her performance, and pushed two cups of tea in front of them with his fingers:

"The officials want me to ask you, why did you say the words of giving up the throne to Emperor Xiaociyuan?"

Before Queen Mother Wei could answer, Zhao Huan quickly explained:

"This is the opinion of the Empress Dowager alone, and has nothing to do with me..."

"I'm asking about the Queen Mother."

"Yes Yes."

The two answered like this, without any appearance of a monarch or minister, only the difference between the superior and the inferior.

Empress Dowager Wei didn't expect that the emperor was thinking about this matter, and she didn't expect that he would always remember it. Thinking that her son had alienated her because of this sentence, she couldn't bear it, and started crying again.

Zhao Huan didn't dare to speak, and Zhong Feng didn't persuade her, so she cried and said:
"How can there be two emperors in one country? After all, the eldest brother is justified, and he is also the crown prince appointed by the late emperor himself... The nobleman also said that it is good for the eldest brother to be the emperor, so that the two countries can be safe."

"I don't have any selfishness, but I'm just thinking about Da Song and my son."

Zhong Feng looked at her: "Which noble person?"

"That's right, it's the noble man from the Kingdom of Jin who brought us back."

"Who is he?"

"No, I don't know."

"I don't know?!"

If it wasn't for the broken leg, Zhong Feng would have slapped the table and stood up.

What the hell is this empress dowager pretending to be about such a nonsense thing!
Sighing softly, Zhong Feng was a little speechless and said:

"The official asked me to ask, I have already asked, and there is nothing else to say."

Empress Dowager Wei was a little anxious: "You are gone, then Jiu...does the official have something to say to me?"

Zhong Feng grabbed a handful from the box on the side and pulled out a lot of gold and silver:
"No, no, even if there is, I'm afraid you wouldn't want to hear it."

"I want to hear it, I want to hear it!"

'Crack~'

Those precious objects were just casually scattered on the table by the wind, without raising the limelight, as if looking at these things fascinated:

"You're greedy for money, that's forgivable, but you can't live if you forced Daoji's parents to death."

The three words 'unlivable' sounded like thunder, causing the eyes of the two people in front of the case to widen their eyes.

"This, this is not what the official said, this is not what the official said!"

"You rebellious minister, you dare to falsely pass on the emperor's oral order, how many heads of yours are enough to chop off!"

"Rebellious officials and thieves, rebellious officials and thieves!"

Empress Dowager Wei's voice was so sharp that Zhong Feng felt it was ear-piercing, and she clapped her hands lightly, and the golden soldiers on both sides stepped forward...they didn't even say a word, and the woman fell silent.

Naturally, she didn't lose her mind, it's just that she didn't want to put it on this Song Chen.

"Empress Dowager, stay safe and don't be impatient. When you bring the things that the officials gave you, your mission will be over."

She looked at the table full of gold and silver, and the things in the big box beside her, thinking that her son still misses herself after all, and indeed,
The eyes glowed.

Seeing many familiar objects again, it was clearly Zhao Ding's filial piety to herself before, she casually picked up a bracelet, and subconsciously wanted to put it on her hand.

But once again, he was restrained by the wind.

"Queen, this thing is not for you to wear."

Empress Dowager Wei was a little puzzled: "This bracelet is not for wearing, could it be for eating?"

"As expected of the Empress Dowager, it's just for eating."

Zhao Huan looked at the Empress Dowager Wei, and at the same time looked back at Zhongfeng... He had a very unreal feeling.

Old Nine... Really dare? !
Empress Dowager Wei's hand holding the bracelet froze, and after a while, she seemed to remember something, and quickly threw the bracelet on the table.

"You really know how to make fun of me."

Zhong Feng shook his head, and said very seriously: "This is not a joke."

"Your Majesty has said before that murder pays for life, and Daoji's parents' lives need to be repaid by you. Otherwise, he will never be ashamed to see Daoji for the rest of his life."

"You like these things tightly, so just swallow them, as much as you can, until you... die."

Empress Dowager Wei's face twitched uncontrollably, she shook her head gently, and looked at Zhao Huan beside her from time to time, as if saying to Zhao Huan: "I don't know what he means at all".

The latter lowered his head, not daring to look or listen anymore.

This matter... It doesn't matter if Lao Jiu is related to Jin Ren, and it doesn't matter if he wants to kill his mother.

Only if you let yourself know about it, it will be very relevant.

"Don't joke, don't joke..."

The wind is very serious, very serious, and there is no sense of joking at all.

It's just that Empress Dowager Wei couldn't see it, or she could see it, and didn't want to admit it.

This matter is not something that can be used as a joke.

"Queen, do it yourself, at least be decent."

"Ask others to help, after all, it will compromise your identity."

In February, a bird from unknown origin flew over the heads of the three of them without singing, but made a fluttering sound of flapping wings.

When the tea on the table was cold, Empress Wei tremblingly picked up a ring.

"Really, do you really mean Brother Jiu?"

Zhong Feng turned his face away and didn't answer her.

This kind of commander didn't see it, but the surrounding soldiers could see it clearly. They didn't care about the identity of this person, they only knew that she had to die today.

And it must be death by swallowing gold, otherwise, even if they bit their tongues and committed suicide, it would be their dereliction of duty.

People will not die because of swallowing gold, unless the swallowed gold is born, because raw gold is poisonous.

The reason why she died was because the contents of her stomach were scratched. Empress Dowager Wei put a ring down and got stuck in her throat for a long time before she finally swallowed it.

But she really didn't want to go through this kind of ordeal again, so she fell back and crawled towards the ground with hands and feet.

She didn't know where to crawl, she only knew to run, she only knew to escape.

A group of people swarmed up and pressed her hands and feet to the ground, followed by fingers, earrings, and hairpins... one was heavier than the other, and each was sharper than the other.

Blood was already sprayed from her mouth, but people kept stuffing her mouth, and couldn't swallow, so they used the handle of a knife as a pestle and pestered her in her mouth.

In the first year of Daguan in the Song Dynasty, in the imperial city of Kaifeng, the talented Wei Shi gave birth to the prince Zhao Gou in May, who was named Jieyu in June, and Xiurong in the second year of Daguan.

During the time when Kaifeng Fucheng was broken until Zhao Gou ascended the throne of God, she was never favored by Emperor Huizong again. As a woman who gave birth to a prince, Zhao Ji gave her the highest status in her life, but because of It's just grooming.

Not even a concubine.

After the city of Kaifeng was broken, her name was written in the genealogy recorded by the clan, but among the concubines, she was born ordinary. Even when she arrived in the Kingdom of Jin, she was only assigned to do some hard work in the laundry yard.

Although there was a one-night affair with the King Gaitian Wanyan Saili, it was more like venting, rather than an affair between a man and a woman. As the empress dowager who was born as a maidservant, she was already considered very lucky;

But as a relative of the emperor, as the emperor's woman, or as a woman of the Song Dynasty, she was really unfortunate.

She thought that when she entered the palace, the wealth and honor of this life began, but it wasn't.

She thought that Zhao Ji's fortune had finally changed for her, but it didn't.

She thought that after giving birth to the prince, she would be able to undergo some changes, at least when she could be the same as other concubines, but she still didn't.

Up to now, when her son became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and she became the empress dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, all this can really be regarded as the end of all hardships...

Everything was different from what she had imagined, one was fate, two was luck and three was feng shui, but she didn't know where fate had gone wrong to torment her like this.

At least he died not far from Brother Jiu... At the moment when she closed her eyes, she thought so.

When the sound gradually disappeared, Zhong Feng poured another cup of tea:

"I have nothing to say to you, and drinking this cup of tea, it can be regarded as the practice of the planter for you... Go to the account."

Zhao Huan didn't dare to look up at all: "All of this is his arrangement, isn't it?"

"Is there any room? Is there any room for negotiation?"

"I don't think about the throne, as long as Lao Jiu is willing, I can be a commoner or a monk, and I can never appear in front of him."

"I just want to live."

He just wants to live, as an emperor, he just wants to live, that's all.

But even this requirement seems to be very difficult.

Zhong Feng didn't speak for a long time, he finally raised his head, his face was full of tears, and in front of him, except for the tent, there was no one there.

If I had known this earlier, I would have been a little bit aggrieved staying in the Northland, but at least I was still alive.

What are you doing back here?

If Empress Dowager Wei's life has never been as she wished, then Zhao Huan's life should have been regretted all the time.

He regretted not listening to Li Gang's words, regretted going out of the city when the Jin soldiers besieged the city, and regretted that after Kaifeng was besieged for the first time, he forcibly withdrew the kind of defense line that the teacher asked to set up.

Now, what he regrets the most is returning from the north.

"Oh!"

There was a loud noise from the Jinying camp outside the gate of Jiahui, startling people in a radius of tens of miles.

Liu Bang looked at the slowly rising fireworks, which looked much dimmer in the daytime.

After drinking a glass of wine, he finally felt a little drunk.

"Open the gate."

"The official family..."

"Open the city gate!"

After making this last decree, he leaned on Wang Qi's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
