Qian Song

Chapter 233 Run (ask for a monthly pass!)

...

After Zhao Fujin, Zhao Duofu and his group came in, Li Cun's eyes were fixed on Zhao Fujin immediately.

"Run!"

This is Li Cun's first impression of Zhao Fujin, and also Li Cun's biggest impression of Zhao Fujin.

To be honest, Zhao Duofu is also very beautiful, and Jiang Shi is also a top-notch little lolita.

But beauty is really crushed ruthlessly in front of sex appeal.

What's more, Zhao Fujin's appearance is not inferior to Zhao Duofu and Jiang's.

While Li Cun was looking at Zhao Fujin, Zhao Duofu, Jiang, and the twenty court ladies, Zhao Fujin and the others were also secretly looking at how they took half of their Zhao Song Dynasty and regained their Zhao Song Dynasty in just five or six years. The Song Dynasty has worked hard for nearly 200 years and failed to recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun, and now the Dagan Emperor Li Cun is eyeing the remaining half of their Zhao Song Dynasty.

Among them, Zhao Duofu, who was the most curious, watched the most carefully.

Seeing that Li Cun not only looks much younger than Zhao Huan, but also has a dignified body, a dignified appearance, an imposing manner, and strong bones and muscles. A person who can accommodate thousands of people and has a mind of the whole world is not like a tyrant who kills at every turn.

Zhao Fujin, Zhao Duofu, Jiang's and other women came to Li Cun and paid homage: "Foreign minister Zhao Fujin/Zhao Duofu see His Majesty the Emperor Daqian."

But Jiang opened her mouth, and in the end, she could only follow Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu and silently bow to Li Cun like the other court ladies.

At this time, Li Cun was not dealing with government affairs, but was playing building blocks with Liang Hongyu, Yizhangqing and Yan Zhengu.

After hearing Han Fang's report that the two concubines Zhao Huan sent him were Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu, Li Cun couldn't help sighing.

Before that, Li Cun had never met Zhao Fujin, and had not even met Zhao Fujin at all. Therefore, Li Cun had no intention of winning Zhao Fujin.

The reason why Li Cun wanted Zhao Fujin from the Zhao Song Dynasty back then was that, first of all, the most important thing was that Li Cun knew that the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty valued face more, so he wanted Zhao Fujin, so that he would have an extra bargaining chip in political negotiations. , Li Cun felt that Zhao Fujin in history was too miserable, thinking, if it was impossible, he asked Zhao Fujin to come, lest Cai Kuang couldn't protect this poor woman at all.

In short, Li Cun's attitude towards Zhao Fujin at that time was that he would give her a hand if he could.

Who would have thought that Zhao Ji valued face so much, and would rather make more concessions on real benefits than give Zhao Fujin to Li Cun.

However, compared with heroes saving the United States, Li Cun pays more attention to real interests.

This caused Li Cun and Zhao Fujin to miss several times.

Later, since Li Cun occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the shame of Jingkang, at least the shame of Jingkang created by the Jin people, would definitely not happen again, and Li Cun was even less anxious to "save" Zhao Fujin.

Now, after going around in circles, Zhao Fujin still belongs to Li Cun.

As for Zhao Duofu, in Li Cun's view, her fate was even worse than Zhao Fujin's.

Historically, Zhao Duofu was 17 years old when Jingkang was disgraced (she is only 16 now) and was not married.

After the shame of Jingkang happened, Zhao Duofu, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were captured together and taken to the Kingdom of Jin.

Originally, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, as the eldest of Zhao Ji's daughters who had not left the court, planned to dedicate Zhao Duofu to Jin's emperor Wanyan Wu for begging.

But on the way, Zhao Duofu was given to him by a golden man because he was so beautiful.

Because of this, Wanyan Wu begged for money and didn't like Zhao Duofu, so he sent Zhao Duofu to Shangjing Huanyiyuan, which is a place where women do laundry and other labor - here is also used by the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin to choose women and accommodate palace ladies. use.

After staying in Huanyiyuan for several years, Zhao Duofu was acquired by Gaitian King Wanyan Zongxian, but after Wanyan Zongxian played with her for a few years, he didn't have much interest in her, and then married her to the Five Kingdoms There was a Han man named Xu Huan in the city.

Later, after many twists and turns, Zhao Duofu fled back to Lin'an.

Zhao Duofu thought that she had finally come to the end of her hardships.

Unexpectedly, this is not the case at all.

At first, when Zhao Gou saw his younger sister came back, he issued an edict to let her enter the palace, named her the eldest princess of Fuguo, and married her to Gao Shirong, the defense envoy of Yongzhou, and gave her a dowry of [-] coins.

Since then, Zhao Gou has favored Zhao Duofu and rewarded him with 47 coins successively.

It wasn't until Song and Jin signed the "Shaoxing Peace" that Zhao Gou's biological mother, Concubine Wei Xian, was released by the Kingdom of Jin, and was then honored by Zhao Gouzun as the "Queen Xianren".

After Queen Mother Wei returned to the country, she heard about Zhao Duofu and told Zhao Gou that Zhao Duofu had died of illness in the Kingdom of Jin.

Zhao Gou then beheaded Zhao Duofu in Dongshi, and his son-in-law Gao Shirong was also deprived of his title of captain-in-law captain, and the eunuch Feng Yi who had testified that Roufu Emperor Ji was real was also implicated, and was finally arrested because of this incident. He was exiled to Zhaozhou.

However, most folks believe that it is because Queen Mother Wei and Zhao Duofu were the concubines of Wanyan Zongxian together, and Queen Mother Wei gave birth to two sons for Wanyan Zongxian. Go out and kill Zhao Duofu.

Looking at it this way, the ill-fated Zhao Duofu seems to be more miserable than Zhao Fujin, who was first occupied by Wanyan Zongwang and then Wanyan Xiyin, and finally suffered humiliation and died. Well... at least he can draw with Zhao Fujin .

Looking at the lively and lively Zhao Duofu in front of him, and thinking about the Zhao Duofu in history who was wronged and killed by his brother after going through so many hardships, Li Cun is very glad that he can come to this era and change this era.

"Retire without courtesy."

After Zhao Fujin, Zhao Duofu and others got up, Li Cun said: "Come forward."

Hearing Li Cun's order, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu hesitated for a while, and then said: "No." Then they came to Li Cun, Liang Hongyu, Yan Zhengu and Yizhangqing.

Li Cun seemed to be talking homely, while continuing to play building blocks with Liang Hongyu, Yan Zhengu and Yizhangqing, he said, "You two are wearing wedding dresses?"

Zhao Duofu boldly replied: "Yes."

Li Cun smiled: "Doesn't Zhao Huan think that if I give you two to me, I won't attack Bianliang City?"

Before leaving Tokyo Bianliang City, Zhu Lian asked Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu to ask Li Cun not to attack Tokyo Bianliang City.

When sending Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu over, Li Yan also specially said to Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu: "The millions of living beings in the country and capital of Song Dynasty are all between the two emperors. Do your best."

Don't look at Zhao Duofu crying and shouting not to come before he came.

Now when it's time to get serious, Zhao Duofu is even stronger than the quiet Zhao Fujin.

Seeing that Li Cun didn't seem to be too difficult to speak, Zhao Duofu bit the bullet and said, "I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on the millions of souls in Bianliang City!"

As soon as Zhao Duofu said this, all Song people, including Zhao Fujin and Jiang, held their breath, for fear that Zhao Duofu would anger Li Cun, and then Li Cun would turn his anger on Zhao Duofu, and even blame them.

Who would have thought that Li Cun didn't care about what Zhao Duofu said at all, but while continuing to play with Liang Hongyu, Yan Zhengu and Yizhangqing, he said casually: "You really think that your good-for-nothing brother governs Tokyo Bianliang City, will it be better than me?"

Zhao Duofu somehow felt that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so when he heard Li Cun despise and even belittle Zhao Huan, Zhao Duofu withstood the fear in his heart and said: "My emperor's brother is righteous, benevolent, wise, trustworthy, gentle, courteous and thrifty, not what your majesty wants. It's so embarrassing."

Hearing this, Li Cun looked at Zhao Duofu squarely, thinking that this girl at least knows how to argue for her own country and her relatives, and her character is still acceptable.

Li Cun looked at Zhao Fujin who had been silent all this time.

Seeing this, Zhao Fujin bowed profusely, "I beg Your Majesty to be merciful."

After knocking on the table a few times with building blocks, Li Cun asked Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu: "Do you two understand the game we are playing?"

Zhao Duofu didn't answer but instead asked: "But just take out a piece and don't let it fall?"

Li Cun nodded: "If the building block falls down, it will be regarded as a loss."

Zhao Duofu nodded his head and said: "The foreign minister understands."

Zhao Fujin also nodded: "The ministers also understand."

Li Cun said: "Then you two come to play this game with me. You two lose one piece of clothing once, and I lose ten times. I will consider giving Zhao Huan a chance."

Hearing Li Cun's words, both Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu blushed.

The strange thing is that the face of Zhao Fujin, who has been married and had children, is even redder than that of unmarried Zhao Duofu.

Seeing Zhao Fujin's performance, Li Cun thought to himself: "What a top-quality young woman that makes people dream about!"

On the other hand, Li Cun asked casually: "Don't you want to play? That's fine."

Seeing that Li Cun wanted to take back this opportunity, Zhao Duofu hurriedly said, "Play!"

Zhao Fujin also took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and then said: "As long as Your Majesty is willing to give the millions of souls in Bianliang a chance, the ministers and Rou Fu are willing to listen to His Majesty."

Li Cun didn't fall into the trap of Zhao Fujin's words, but said flatly: "I'll talk after you two win."

Since Li Cun is interested in this, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu who came here for the purpose of interceding for Zhao Huan must accompany him.

Li Cun stacked the building blocks, and when the three of them were about to start a big battle, Jiang suddenly interrupted: "The sinful daughter Jiang also wants to play this game with Your Majesty."

Li Cun listened to the words and looked at Jiang Shi.

Seeing that it was the pretty little loli who made the sound, Li Cun asked, "Jiang Xingzu's daughter?"

Jiang said hurriedly: "It is the sinner."

Li Cun nodded: "That counts as you."

Jiang hesitated for a moment and asked, "If Your Majesty loses, can you let my Jiang family go?"

Li Cun smiled secretly when he heard the words, and thought: "This little girl probably didn't understand the rules of the public trial?"

The rule of the public trial is that as long as he can get down from the public trial stand alive, he is not guilty—even if he has committed a serious crime before, as long as he can get down from the public trial stand, he will be considered as Li Cun. amnesty.

In other words, Jiang Xingzu's family was not guilty at all.

Jiang Xingzu was thrown into the sightseeing group by Li Cun, and his family members were not imprisoned, but placed under house arrest.

As long as Jiang Xingzu is interested in the future, there must be room for him to use his skills. On the contrary, Li Cun will not kill him, at most he will just get some rations.

But Li Cun did not explain anything to Jiang.

A joke, at this time, there is no emperor, only men.

Thus, a four-person battle began...

……

Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu agreed to accompany Li Cun, which made Zhao Huan very pleased and happy.

Zhao Huan felt that there was no need for Li Cun to conquer Bianliang City in Tokyo.

What did Li Cun do when he conquered Bianliang City in Tokyo?
First of all, with so many Zhao Song emperors and clans running away, even if Li Cun took down Bianliang City in Tokyo, he would definitely not be able to destroy the Zhao Song Dynasty.

What's more, in the Gyeonggi area, there is no danger to defend.

In this case, unless Li Cun took down the entire Central Plains, Li Cun would only be able to grab some money if he broke Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Now, he, Zhao Huan, is willing to give Li Cun money, and he is also willing to give Li Cun Hebei and Hedong. It can be said that whatever Li Cun wants, Zhao Huan will give Li Cun what he wants, and Li Cun does not need to do it himself, so why should Li Cun What about breaking Tokyo Bianliang City?
Zhao Huan felt that now that Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu communicated well with Li Cun, Li Cun would definitely understand that it was meaningless to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo, and it would cost more soldiers and generals, so the gain outweighed the gain.

but--

Zhao Huan also understood that even if Li Cunken spared the Zhao Song Dynasty, the war indemnity he demanded would definitely not be a small amount.

Although Zhao Huan made a fortune after raiding the homes of Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, and Li Yan.

But this amount of money is definitely a drop in the bucket compared to the war indemnity that Li Cun will demand in the future.

The treasury of the Zhao Song Dynasty is now empty, unless the Fengchun treasury is used.

But Zhao Ji once told Zhao Huan that the Fengchunku was the Zhao family's last trump card. If it was used, the Zhao family might not be able to control the country and society of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel a little headache when he thought that the amount of war indemnity that Li Cun was asking for must be huge, and that the sealed pile warehouse could not be moved lightly.

After thinking about it, Zhao Huan thought that he could only make money within the whole city.

Therefore, Zhao Huan issued an imperial decree:
"The number of troops to be rewarded by the Daqian Dynasty is as vast as the ocean. In order to prevent the city from being destroyed and the people from falling into the enemy's hands, the court tried its best to raise funds. For example, offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple utensils did not dare to be stingy. The decree, donate as much as possible, but it is afraid that it will not be enough. Loyal people, it is appropriate for the country, and those who are willing to help the country from private individuals will be sent to Nie Shan, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, etc. within a day."

Internally, Zhao Huan is definitely a ruthless person.

As soon as the edict was issued, Zhao Huan sent people to collect all the gold and silver utensils in the ancestral temple, and even sent people to scrape off the gold lacquer and silver powder. As for Zhao Huan's brothers, sisters, uncles and uncles He sent people to all the houses to ask for gold and silver.

Even the gold, silver and jade belts bestowed by Zhao Ji, and even the Zhao Song Emperor before Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan sent people to ask for them back.

Moreover, Zhao Huan also made a law that anyone who dares to hide gold and silver and refuses to hand it over must be punished.

But Zhao Huan searched like this, but only got three 10,000+ taels of gold and more than 800 million taels of silver.

This amount of gold and silver is definitely far from enough to pay the Daqian Dynasty's war reparations.

Li Bangyan and other Zaizhi also told Zhao Huan that this little gold and silver was not enough to impress the Emperor Daqian.

Hearing what Li Bangyan and the others said, Zhao Huan became even more anxious.

Zhao Huan felt that if Li Cun was not given enough gold and silver, Li Cun would definitely not give up attacking Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Later, Zhao Huan suddenly thought that the Taoist priests raised by Zhao Ji had many gold and silver utensils rewarded by Zhao Ji.

Zhao Huan decisively sent people to take back all the gold and silver utensils of the Taoist priests, and finally got enough 100 million taels of gold and 500 million taels of silver.

This number is definitely not enough to pay the Daqian Dynasty's war reparations.

But Zhao Huan sent the 100 million taels of gold and 500 million taels of silver to Li Cun immediately.

——At this time, although Li Cun accepted Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu, the Qian and Song Dynasties had not yet reached a peace treaty. Zhao Huan was afraid that Li Cun would not let Tokyo Bianliang City go, so he first raised 100 million taels Gold and 500 million taels of silver were sent to Li Cun to show his sincerity.

At the same time, Zhao Huan arranged for Yushi Zhongcheng He Li, Zhou Wenyi, and Kaifeng officials to search the homes of Tong Guan, Cai Jing, He Zhizhong, Zheng Shen, Gao Qiu, Wang Xian, Peng Duan, Liu Zongyuan and others.

At the same time, Zhao Huan arranged for Tang Zhong, Xie Kejia, Li Yu, and Shi Ji to go to the relatives of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, He Zhizhong, Zheng Shen, Gao Qiu, Wang Xian, Peng Duan, Liu Zongyuan and others to collect gold and silver. treasure.

For all the gold and silver of these people, Zhao Huan ordered that they can take it away and pay it to the Kaifeng mansion without taking care of anything.

Zhao Huan also specially issued an imperial decree, explaining that if these people dare to hide their gold, silver and jewels, they will allow insiders to report. You can ask directly.

Zhao Huan selected these people, most of them were Zhao Ji's favorite ministers, and most of them were corrupt officials with very rich families.

Among them, some people have been dead for many years, such as the former prime minister He Zhizhong.

but--

The one with the most special status is Zhao Ji's father-in-law Zheng Shen, who is now the father of Queen Mother Zheng.

The previous document said that Empress Dowager Zheng was Zhao Huan's adoptive mother, who raised Zhao Huan from the age of eight to adulthood. Although she did not have the kindness of giving birth to Zhao Huan, she had the kindness of raising Zhao Huan.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zheng Shen is Zhao Huan's grandfather.

But in order to raise gold and silver for the Daqian Dynasty, Zhao Huan even copied his grandfather's house, and even his grandfather's relatives refused to let go.

This shows how ruthless Zhao Huan is.

Of course, this is actually because Zhao Huan believes that the dry army must not be allowed to attack the city again, otherwise the city of Bianliang in Tokyo will undoubtedly be destroyed. At that time, the Jiangshan Sheji of the Zhao Song Dynasty will be in danger, and the key to his life Dangerous.

And as long as Li Cun can be persuaded not to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo again, the country and society of the Zhao Song Dynasty can be preserved, and Zhao Huan's life can also be preserved.

Therefore, Zhao Huan felt that he had to go all out to raise gold and silver.

For this reason, Zhao Huan was even a little desperate...
