Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Just now he said "Zhu Thief" several times, it was because Zhao Huan was angered by his brothers.

At this moment, he suddenly woke up, fear replaced anger, and he hurriedly ran towards the door, lying on the ground and kneeling to face Ju Ming's attack.

Moreover, Zhao Huan deliberately knelt in front of King Jing to show his status as emperor.

The other princes were too lazy to fight and ran to King Jing's side to kneel down.

Only Zhao Kai was unconvinced. Even if he knelt down, he would keep pace with Zhao Huan. Not only did he not want to fall behind, he also deliberately leaned half of his body forward.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Huan immediately moved forward and in turn overtook Zhao Kai.

How could Zhao Kai admit defeat? Continue to move half your body forward.

The two brothers kept fighting like this, constantly moving forward, and they were almost kneeling outside the door.

The other princes and consorts were speechless when they saw this situation.

Why are you still fighting at this time?

Ju Ming was also stunned when he arrived at the scene. He had seen people kneeling to greet people when they went out, and he had also seen people kneeling to greet them inside the door. What was the point of kneeling to greet them while stuck side by side in the door frame?

"Everyone, get up." Ju Ming was in a pretty good mood, so he acted very kindly.

The royal family and clan members felt much relieved instantly after sensing Ju Ming's attitude, at least they would not be executed immediately.

"Thank you Marshal for your grace!"

As if it had been rehearsed, everyone shouted in unison.

Well... there are also some who don't fit in.

"Thank you brother-in-law!"

This shout of brother-in-law attracted special attention.

Zhu Ming looked around and saw a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He immediately smiled and asked, "They all call him Generalissimo, why do you call him brother-in-law?"

The young man replied: "To my brother-in-law, Emperor Maode is my sister, and Emperor Xunde is my sister. They were both born from the same mother, so they are different from them."

Ju Ming was amused: "What's your name? What's your title?"

The young man replied: "My name is Zhao Chu, and my title in the old Song Dynasty was King Yi."

Zhu Ming took a torch and took a closer look. He did have some similarities with Zhao Fujin and Zhao Fujin sisters. He immediately nodded and said: "He is really handsome. He is a good-looking man. How come he still smells of makeup?"

"If brother-in-law doesn't like it, I won't put on rouge in the future." Zhao Yan said quickly.

Zhu Ming was too lazy to care about this kind of thing: "It's up to you. Let's go in and talk."

Zhao Yan hit the snake with a stick and followed Zhu Ming: "Brother-in-law, I have two younger brothers, namely Zhao Mo, the former King of Qi of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen, the former King of Xin of the Song Dynasty."

Ju Ming said casually: "Come all over."

Zhao Mo, who is seventeen years old, hurriedly stepped forward and called her brother-in-law.

Zhao Zhen was only fourteen years old. She was confused and a little scared, so she came over after being urged several times.

Can we still have a relationship like this?

Zhao Kai was opened to a new idea, and he stooped down and followed him: "General Marshal Rong Zhen, I have several sisters who have long admired the reputation of Marshal Langjun, and day and night I wish I could have a glimpse of the saint's face in person. Also. I hope Marshal Lang Jun will be kind and find a time to summon them to relieve their pain of missing each other."

Ju Ming smiled and said, "It turns out to be King Yun. Long time no see."

Among the many princes, Zhu Ming was "the most familiar" with Zhao Kai. He had met Song Huizong ten times before, and Zhao Kai had accompanied him at least six times.

Instead, Zhao Huan hid in the East Palace and did not see the foreign ministers.

Zhao Kai's body became three inches shorter. He held up his hands and said with a smile: "Marshal Sir still remembers me. I'm really flattered. None of my three sisters are married, and among them Yingluo and Duofu are still twins. My father betrothed Yingluo to me some time ago. To Xiang Zi, Yingluo told me privately that she admired Marshal Zhu, the great hero in the world, and would not marry anyone else in this life, so she refused to marry and remained chaste until now. Duofu also said that she would marry whomever her sister marries. "

Zhao Huan dismantled the situation on the spot: "Generalissimo, don't listen to his nonsense. This guy is just like a foolish king. None of what he says can be trusted."

Zhao Kai played harder and said: "This guy resents the marshal for taking his throne. He has some inhumane words. Just now he cursed a red thief several times, and everyone heard it."

"Yes, he did call the Generalissimo a red thief." Zhao Zhi, the king of Shen who was a compatriot of Zhao Kai's mother, immediately agreed.

"That's true."

The princes nodded one after another. They complained that Zhao Huan did not surrender early, and now they all chose to add insult to injury.

Zhao Huan was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst. He hurriedly knelt down and said: "I made a mistake, please spare my life, Marshal!"

Zhao Kai didn't want to let it go: "What do you mean by a momentary gaffe? Are you always resentful in your heart, even at this moment, you are complaining, but you just don't dare to say it out?"

"Zhao San!"

Zhao Huan could no longer hold back anymore and roared angrily: "No matter how much hatred you and I have, we are all brothers after all. Is there any need to kill them all like this?"

Zhao Kai sneered: "How dare you roar so loudly in front of the Generalissimo? Do you think you are still the emperor?"

"I'll fight with you!" Zhao Huan stood up suddenly and rushed towards Zhao Kai with all his strength.

Zhao Kai was knocked to the ground without any precautions, and the two brothers started fighting in front of Ju Ming.

Bai Sheng was dumbfounded and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to drag it away?"

"Let them fight." Zhu Ming walked around and ignored the two of them.

Zhao Kai is not only versatile, but also has practiced martial arts. Although he was a showman, beating Zhao Huan was enough. The winner was decided within a few minutes. The latter lay on the ground clutching his stomach and groaning.

"Let the Generalissimo laugh." Zhao Kai stepped forward and bowed.

Ju Ming said expressionlessly: "In terms of human relations, he is your brother. In terms of etiquette, he is your master. If you beat him, does it violate ethics and etiquette?"

"This..." Zhao Kai was speechless.

He thought that beating the Emperor of the Song Dynasty would please Ju Ming, but he did not expect that this flattery would hit the horse's leg.

Ju Ming glanced at everyone: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, nor will I deliberately humiliate you, but you will definitely not live a good life in the future. I will set aside a large piece of abandoned land, and let you cultivate it next spring, and also have a taste of the common people in this world. The hard work is not easy. All your property will be confiscated. You will only be given seeds, farm tools, cattle and clothes. You will even have to build thatched houses yourself."

I heard that there was no fear of life, and everyone felt like they had escaped. As for farming themselves, it was not important.

The consort Cao Sheng said: "But we can't build walls and build houses."

Ju Ming said: "I will resettle some refugees and be your neighbors. Those refugees can teach you how to build houses and teach you how to farm and weave. Except for the rations in the first year, they must be self-reliant in the rest of the time and refuse to work. You deserve to starve to death.”

These refugees were all forced to have their families destroyed by corrupt officials. Their attitude towards the royal family of the old Song Dynasty might not be very good.

"It all depends on the arrangements of the Generalissimo!"

Zhao Huan, who had been punched hard in the stomach several times, had already recovered and was the first to express his willingness to accept.

He is the emperor, and he is most likely to be killed. As long as he survives, other things don't matter.

Ju Ming continued: "There will be no servants to serve you. You can take up to five wives and concubines, and the rest must be married with Li Li. I advise you to only take one wife and one concubine. Farming is really not easy. If you have too many women, you can't afford to support them."

The prince-in-law asked Zifang: "Can I be fined a copper to reduce the crime? Instead of going to the countryside to farm, I can be managed and placed in the city?"

"My family property has been confiscated from you, where can you get money to atone for your sins?" Zhu Ming asked.

Xiang Zifang said: "I can also ask the family to withdraw money."

Zhu Ming glared at him: "You have more marriages with the Zhao family than the Xiang family. This time, I will only pursue Zhao Ji's son-in-law. Don't force me to arrest the Xiang family's son who married the eldest daughter!"

"Yes." Xiang Zifang did not dare to speak any more.

Zhu Ming looked at Cao Sheng again: "The Cao family is the founding hero of the Song Dynasty. Over the past hundred years, there have been many evildoers. When I was in Tokyo, I heard that some of the Cao family's playboys did evil. Neither the officials nor the people dare to criticize you. Cao family. You are lucky. You are only forced to work as a farmer. Your uncles and brothers will all be arrested and taken to Dali Temple for interrogation!"

Cao Sheng sat limply on the ground. Not only was he finished, but the entire Cao family was finished.

Zhu Ming looked at Zeng Wei again: "Dali Temple is doing things very quickly. Your mother and cousins ​​have already confessed, and there are servants' confessions to support it. Three people died, there were several cases of beating and maiming, and they also forcibly occupied Tokyo. A shop in the west of the city. Murder is punishable by death. Two of your cousins ​​will be beheaded, and your mother and cousin will be exiled to southern Sichuan!"

Zeng Wei opened his mouth, his mouth was dry and he didn't know what to say.

"Just take care of yourself," Zhu Ming stood up and left. "I came here just to ask you not to think blindly, and don't try to escape because you are afraid of death."

Zhao Yan hurriedly caught up: "Brother-in-law, do I want to farm too?"

Ju Ming smiled and said: "Since you are Fu Jin's brother and Fu Jin's brother, you should naturally take special care of me and give you a single cattle."

"Huh?" Zhao Yan didn't expect such treatment at all.

Ju Ming said: "They share a plowing ox, but if you own one alone, you will know how useful it is."

"Brother-in-law, I want one too." Zhao Mo said quickly.

Ju Ming smiled and said: "Here, your brother also has one. Three oxen, which can be considered as supplementary gift."

After speaking, Ju Ming walked away, leaving a group of royal family members silent.

After a long time, Zhao Qi muttered: "It's good if I can survive."

Zhao Shu was suspicious: "Will we be allowed to do farm work, and then look for opportunities to send people to kill us? Maybe the killer is hiding among the refugees, arranging many refugees to be our neighbors, and smashing them to death with a hoe while farming?"

Everyone sweated on their vests after hearing this, and the more they thought about it, the more likely it was.

Zhao Yan said proudly: "I have a compatriot sister who will be the generalissimo's concubine, and nothing will happen to her. Maybe she will be fined as a peasant for a year or two, and then she will be recalled to Tokyo to be a count, but that is different from you."

When the princes heard this, they all looked envious.

This bastard's luck was so good that Ju Ming took in two empresses of the Song Dynasty, all of whom were sisters from the same mother.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Kai tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He always felt that he would be killed and that being punished as a peasant was just a trick to hide his identity.

He thought that he had three sisters and would be more secure if he married Ju Ming. Especially the twin sisters, who have been blowing pillows for a long time, maybe they can be recalled to Tokyo to be knighted.

But how can we sacrifice all our sisters?

That day I heard that Marshal Zhu liked wives, but it was a pity that his first wife was also named Zhu, otherwise he could have given her to his sister. Anyway, it was a loveless wife whom Zhao Huan had forced on him two months ago. It was a good deal to exchange his wife for life and wealth.

Early the next morning, Zhao Kai, who had not slept much, ran outside quickly and shouted to the guards: "I want to report Fan Qiong for embezzling property!"
