In Tokyo, the blue sky is clean, the wind is warm, the willows are green, and the flowers are blooming.

Emperor Daojun had just returned from a visit to Genyue, and after drinking a few cups of small orange red in Yiqing Hall, he began to watch the memorial.

He only looked at the urgent ones, and Wang Fu and Li Bangyan handled the others. Although Wang Fu was responsible for concealing Fang La's report, because of his correct answer, he did not completely lose his trust in Wang Fu.

The memorial was sent by Qin Wang Zhao Yu from the guards and the military department. It was urgent and sealed with wax paint. It was not an ordinary note, but an urgent report of military information.

Emperor Daojun reached out to pick it up, with a penetrating smile on the corner of his mouth. This second child is used to exaggerating and bluffing. Now, even if Wang Fu is under Zhongshu's door, would he dare to conceal the report?What's more, it's fine if you don't go to Zhongshu, but it's still sealed with wax paint, and he doesn't have a personal conscript, so you are not bluffing him with these things!
"Zhang Di, read it!" Emperor Daojun walked around the garden all morning, a little lazy, leaned back on the dragon chair, and threw the booklet to Zhang Di.

"Yes, official!" Zhang Di smiled, hurriedly took it with both hands, and then opened it carefully: "Guan, this is an urgent report from His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness Qin said..."

"Huh?!" A moment later, Emperor Daojun opened his eyes suddenly, with a look of shock on his face: "You, you read it again?"

Zhang Di's voice was also a little trembling: "The bandit commander Fang Qifo attacked Jiangning at night. His Royal Highness King Qin led an army to fight and killed 6 bandit troops who entered the city. Outside Jiangning City, he personally led 20 elite cavalry, defeated the bandit army by [-], chased the enemy for hundreds of miles, and killed another [-]!"

Emperor Daojun suddenly sat up from the dragon chair, fixed his eyes on Zhang Di, and groped for the table with one hand blankly. Finally, he grabbed the wine cup, picked it up, and poured it into his mouth.

"Zhang Di, do you mean that the King of Qin defeated 20 bandit army with only [-] horses? And he took down [-]?" Emperor Daojun held the wine cup, his face turned a little red, and he didn't know whether it was because of the drunkenness or the excitement of this news.

"Officials, that's exactly the case. The Jiangning City where His Royal Highness King Qin is located has only 20 to [-] defenders. After killing the same number of bandits who sneaked into the city in one fell swoop, he led [-] cavalry to kill outside the city, defeating the [-] bandits outside, chasing and killing hundreds of miles, and beheading [-]!" Zhang Di was also excited, his voice trembling.

"Quick, bring the wine!" Emperor Daojun flicked his sleeves and shouted at the maid next to him.

The maid hurriedly went to the back to get another small orange red, and filled the wine cup of Emperor Daojun. The Emperor Daojun said excitedly: "One against ten, no, no, this is one against ten, and fifteen thousand breaks 20. Since the founding of the Taizu dynasty, there has never been such a feat. Let the world know, tell the world, and let all the barbarians know about my Song Dynasty's literary and martial arts, so...recovering Yanyun is not far away!"

Zhang Di also said happily: "What the officials said is true, Benu Congratulations Long Live Long Live Congratulations Long Live Congratulations."

The Emperor Daojun nodded and drank another glass of wine. He sat down and looked at Zhang Di and said, "What else did King Qin say in the booklet? Can I take credit for it? The memorial he sent last time was to lead troops south to Jiangning to guard the natural dangers of the Yangtze River. I thought he was going to do something wrong again. I didn't expect that Jiangning was right. The Yangtze River area...is indeed a dangerous place. This second brother is really a good soldier."

Hearing the words, Zhang Di hastily complimented him, and continued to read the memorial. It didn't matter that it didn't matter, the joy just now slowly disappeared, and his face changed suddenly.

Emperor Daojun looked at him and said, "But what kind of special reward does Second Brother want?"

Zhang Di's hands trembled slightly: "Officer, official, King Qin didn't want a reward, King Qin made an apology."

Emperor Daojun wondered: "Having won such a battle, instead of rewarding him, he would ask for a crime. What crime did he ask for?"

Zhang Di fell to his knees with a "plop": "Officials, humble slaves, humble slaves dare not speak."

Emperor Daojun was even more surprised: "Is there anything you dare not say? Could it be that he beheaded Jiangning's Wang Hanzhi?"

Zhang Di lay down in the tunnel and said, "Officials, no, it's not..."

Emperor Daojun frowned and stood up, and walked to take the memorial with the wine cup in his hand, but just glanced at it, his eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened, and he froze on the spot.

After a while, there was a crisp sound of "pop", and the white jade cup in the hands of Emperor Daojun fell to the ground and shattered.

Zhang Di's body trembled, and he hurriedly put his head on the ground. He wanted to cover his ears with his hands at this moment. He didn't hear what the official said, absolutely didn't hear it!

"Not enough deaths, or too few deaths!" Emperor Daojun whispered to himself: "Only more than half of them died, how is this enough? Why don't they all die!"

Where did Zhang Di dare to answer the words, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead.

After another ten or so breaths passed, the Emperor Daojun suddenly looked sad. He went back to the table in a few steps, threw the booklet on it, and roared in grief: "How could such a thing happen? How could such a thing happen! How can I explain this to the officials! How can I explain it to the world!"

He picked up Wang Hanzhi and Sun Changjie's memorial and looked at it, and finally slammed the table and shouted: "Quickly pass that King Cai Jing enters the palace..."

Zhao Tun sat drinking tea in the Xuanfu Division. It had been a few days since the war, and the aftermath of the war gradually subsided. Half of the eighteen gates in the four cities of Jiangning were opened, and people passing by were strictly checked. Anyone who was not a local and surrounding residents of Jiangning was not allowed to enter.

That night, he left Yao Pingzhong and Zhang Xian, and asked the two to find a way to transport all the gold and silver from the gentry's family, and then took them to Hongjue Temple in Niutoushan to hide.

The money and wealth of those gentry families in Xicheng were lucky. After all, there was no proof of death there. Yao Pingzhong said it, even if they were all evacuated, no one could produce any evidence to accuse them.

But Dongcheng and Beicheng were different. At that time, not only Zheke existed, but also many Jiangning local military officers were there. After the Mingjiao Jiangning sub-altar was wiped out, all the money packed in boxes was sent back to the gentry’s mansion to be sealed, and guarded by layers of soldiers outside.

Zhao Tun was sitting in Jiangning, so all the money could be taken out, but after all, many people watched at that time, the gentry were all dead, and there was no money left, which was quite unreasonable.

The big victory reported by Zhao Tun in the memorial, since Fang Qifo Er's 10,000+ army was defeated, even if the opponent sneaked into the city, killed people and set fire to them, killing all the gentry, it was impossible to take all the money away.

Therefore, even if some of the gentry's wealth is to be taken from Beidong City, it must not be all of it, half at most.

But half of the family wealth of the gentry is already an astronomical figure. Every family of the gentry has a wealth of wealth, not only the richest one, but it is not just as simple as having a large amount of land.

This half of the gentry's family wealth is not easy to get. Even if Zhao Tun is in Jiangning, he can get it directly, but after all, you have to guard against Youyou's mouth.

If you want to do this thing without anyone noticing it, or just sit on the ground and share the spoils, such a large amount of money is so rich that no one can refuse this kind of temptation.

Zhao Tuo asked Yao Pingzhong and Zhang Xian to think of a way. Yao Pingzhong had a dark heart and wanted to take it out and take it away. He said that the gentry were killed by Fang La's people anyway, and the money was taken as soon as it was taken. Who would dare to speak?Even if he said it, he was just a greedy ink, who could do anything to the second king!

Zhang Xian, on the other hand, advocated to find Jiangning officials to handle this matter together, to share the money, and when the time comes to drag everyone into the water, everyone will naturally hide it. After all, his family has also collected it. This so-called collection is more than their lifetime salary as an official!

The two argued endlessly, but in the end Zhao Tun chose Yao Pingzhong's method. He looked at Zhang Xian and shook his head and said, "The king will not keep these officials silent, but he will use part of it as a military reward. Now that the national treasury is tight, although the military salary can be paid, the reward will have to be delayed again and again, which is not good for the military."

Zhang Xian shook his head in puzzlement and said, "My lord, wouldn't it be safer for the subordinates to share a sum of money from the gentry for every official? It's impossible for them to tell the matter. After all, they also took it themselves. This will not delay the reward in the army."

Zhao Tong pondered and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, one person's heart and two's hearts are unpredictable, let alone so many people? Some of these people are in-laws of the gentry, and some of them rely on the relationship of the gentry to get into official positions. Even if they receive a large amount of money, who can guarantee that they will not inform the family members of the family who are officials in the upper court? Once they tell the truth, they themselves are ironclad evidence. They don't need other evidence to prove that the king has embezzled the family wealth of the gentry!"

Zhang Xiandao: "Then General Yao's method will not be seen by others..."

Zhao Tang smiled: "As long as this king doesn't admit it, who can do anything? What's more, what he said is too rough, so naturally he can't do that, you two come here with your ears..."

A few days later, Zhao Tun went to the guest room at the back of the Fusi that night, and before he entered the room, he heard a sound of beating, beating and beating coming from the room.

He stood in front of the door for a while, and heard Zhu Xiuniang's crying, as well as the persuasion of the mother-in-law and maidservants, he couldn't help frowning.

Ding Daxie said from the side: "My lord, I wish my wife has been making a fuss these days, and it is inconvenient for my subordinates to enter the house. I am afraid that she will commit suicide, so I have been worried."

Zhao Tun nodded and said, "Open the door, I will go in and have a look."

Ding Daxie opened the door, and he walked in with his hands behind his back. Zhu Xiuniang was taken aback when she saw him, and then rushed over directly.

Zhao Tang saw that her originally icy and smooth face was extremely thin now, and her lively and radiant eyes had become dull, but the deep hatred was almost substantive. He ran in front of Zhao Tong, clenched his fists and hit Zhao Tong on the chest, crying while beating: "Was it you, did you do it!"

Zhao Tun grabbed her hands, Zhu Xiuniang couldn't break free, then raised her leg and kicked her. Zhao Tun dodged and said, "Xiuniang, what are you doing? Look at what you have become!"

Zhu Xiuniang bit her lips and didn't speak, but struggled desperately. Zhao Tun raised her arms and hugged her across her arms. She couldn't move her arms and legs, so she opened her mouth and bit Zhao Tun's arm.

Zhao Tang was expressionless, and just let her bite, then hugged her to the couch, and said coldly: Have you bitten enough? "

Seeing that he didn't respond, Zhu Xiuniang cried and let go, with blood on her mouth, she cried, "Zhao Tun, you kill me, you kill me!"

Zhao Tong said: "You are the prince of this king, what am I going to do to kill you!"

Zhu Xiuniang moved vigorously, but still couldn't break free, and said: "Then you let me die by myself, can I die by myself? Don't let those people stop me, and I will end it myself!"

Zhao Tong raised his hand and threw her onto the couch, and said: "Don't say another dead word, I don't want to hear it, let alone hear it from you!"

Zhu Xiuniang curled up in the corner of the couch, and said bitterly: "If you don't let me die, aren't you afraid that I will kill you one day?"

Zhao Tang looked at her with surprise on his face: "Xiuniang wants to kill me?"

Zhu Xiuniang said: "You killed my family, you killed so many people, I, I want revenge!"

Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "Your family was killed by Fang La's bandit army. I sent troops to rescue them and come to the rescue. Although I feel guilty in my heart, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Zhu Xiuniang cried and said: "Zhao Tun, you did this thing, don't argue, even if you didn't send someone to do it yourself, you are still borrowing a knife to kill people, deliberately letting those bandits in!"

Zhao Tang looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "Borrowing a knife to kill someone? It's a pity that you can figure it out. This king's identity, how can you borrow the knife of the bandit army? I think you have been too sad these days, and you are a little confused. You should take a good rest and refresh yourself!"

Zhu Xiuniang stared at Zhao Tun, and said sadly: "Although I don't know what method you used, but you are insidious and cunning, even the bandit army fell for you, and these people died at your hands. You, you are the most vicious person in the world. If I don't die, I will kill you for revenge!"

Zhao Tang was silent for a long while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Xiu Niang, don't you want to pay homage to your family?"

"I..." Zhu Xiuniang was stunned, and said, "You will let me pay homage to my family?"

Zhao Tong said: "You belong to this king, and Zhu's family is your natal family, how can this king stop you from paying homage to your family!"

Zhu Xiuniang's originally dull eyes suddenly showed a gleam of brilliance: "I'm going now!"

Zhao Tang sighed softly when he heard the words, and said slowly: "But I see that you, Xiuniang, are weak and overwhelmed at the moment, so it is not suitable for you to go to pay homage!"

"Tama Zhao!" Zhu Xiuniang said angrily, "You're lying to me again!"

Zhao Tong waved his hand: "What I said always counts. As long as you eat well, take good care of your body, and keep your spirits healthy, I will personally take you to the memorial ceremony!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, Zhu Xiuniang stared blankly at him for a few moments, seeing that he had arrived at the door, she hurriedly ran down from the couch, saying: "Zhao Tun, don't go!"

Zhao Tang looked back at her: "After taking care of your health, people can report to this king, and this king keeps his word!"

Seeing the door opening and closing, Zhao Tun gradually went away, Zhu Xiuniang bit her lip and sat there for a while, with a determined look on her face.

She wants revenge, since Zhao Tun won't kill her, and won't let her die, then she will be given a chance to take revenge, and she will find a way to kill this villain!

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiuniang looked at the maid next to her and said, "I'm hungry, go prepare me something to eat."
