I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 152
Lin'an City is indeed not as lively as it used to be.

Those soldiers were soldiers when they followed Wang Xie, and they had no other skills except to escape when they went to the battlefield.

But when they got off the battlefield... Although it's not like murder and arson, they are indeed doing some things to kill off their children and grandchildren.

Maybe it's because I have been suppressed for a long time in the state and county, maybe it's because I entered Lin'an this time, everyone has become a minister of the dragon, and they have a lot of confidence, and they are bound to act arrogantly... Speaking of it, Zhang Taiwei and him back then Those flower-legged soldiers in the army are actually similar to those in Wang Xie.

Without him, their backer is the emperor, the master of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Even if there is another emperor, so what?

What else can a younger brother do to his elder brother?
It’s just that they are happy, but the common people are the ones who suffer after all. These savage geese have plucked their feathers, forcing the flower boats on the West Lake to dare not open... Even Xiang Guangshi’s soldiers knew that going to the brothel was for Those who paid, Wang Xie's soldiers only knew how to swallow, but didn't know how to vomit.

Speaking of Xiang Guangshi, once upon a time, there were many riches and honors in front of him, such as "No. 1 General of the Great Song Dynasty", "No. [-] of the Western Army", and "No. [-] Military General". Yu's title, but he couldn't grasp it, so that later, he even lost the surname given to him by his ancestors.

Now, Emperor Xiaociyuan winked at him again. Just like what Zhao Shicheng thought, one Wang Xie can call two or three thousand people, so Xiang Guangshi can call twenty or thirty thousand people with a big wave of his hand, right? ?
The purpose of everything Zhao Huan did was very clear, that is to stay alive.

There is no one in the world who wants to live more than him. Living in the cowshed with his father in the Kingdom of Jin can't destroy his desire to live. Making fun of himself and being the king of subjugation to make amends, also can't destroy his strong heart.

I have survived so many hard days, and now I have finally made it to the south, and it is time to be a master. The Emperor Xiaociyuan of the Great Song Dynasty has no reason to think about it.

So Xiang Guangshi was very embarrassed, extremely embarrassed, even during the Jianyan period when the emperor was crossing south, he was not so embarrassed when he was guarding the riverside to go or stay.

If Qin Hui hadn't died, if Wu Biaochen hadn't died, if Roufu Diji hadn't died, he might have followed Zhao Huan. After all, from outsiders' perspective, His Majesty the current emperor had lost patience with him, although Didn't take his life, but there was nothing left of him but a walking corpse.

He had no reason to refuse. In front of two brothers, one with a red face and the other with a bad face, ordinary people would definitely abandon the red face.

How about saying that this person is lucky?

Sometimes I have to admit that a person's luck is really important. Whenever Xiang Guangshi wants to agree, he will think of the face of the emperor... Others may not know it, but he does know it clearly.

That His Majesty acted completely out of order.

Everyone thought that he would not touch Qin Hui, that he would not conquer the Northern Expedition, and that he was still the weak and incompetent King Kang, but what happened?

So at the suggestion of his granddaughter, Xiang Guangshi decided to do the opposite.

It may not be right the other way around, but at least it is more appropriate than making choices in a disciplined manner... Including yesterday, it was already the No. 15 day when he stayed behind closed doors. He gave No.15 rejections.

But today, he could no longer refuse, because Zhao Huan came in person.

To be honest, if Liu Yanqing is still alive, he can probably be regarded as half of his majesty's courtier; but Xiang Guangshi... Although he has worked under this man, he has always regarded himself as Zhao Gou's direct descendant, From the very beginning, it's been a lot more unfamiliar.

"Your Majesty wants to see the villain, so the villain just goes to see you in person, why do you bother to come?"

He has no official status and title, although few people regard him as a real grassroots, but he dare not trust him.

He opened the middle door in person, ran out in person, and met Zhao Huan in person.

This emperor was indeed much gentler, and he was more benevolent than that one. His first move was to hold Xiang Guangshi's hand:
"You're so right, it makes me ashamed... For generations, the Liu family has been loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. As a general, you have fallen like this now. I can't bear it!"

As he said that, he recalled his father's feats for Xiang Guangshi. He obviously ran away with people, but was praised by Zhao Huan as a loyal and brave man who defended the country. However, he was said by the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan that he died in a fierce battle...

The words were full of regret, Xiang Guangshi almost burst into tears.

Damn it, why don't I know that my father is so powerful?

But thinking about it, he still has to work hard on the surface. He tried his best to cooperate with Zhao Huan, making a sad expression, while saying:

"The humble house is simple, and I'm afraid it will dirty His Majesty's body."

I just don't want to ask people to come in and sit down.

But Zhao Huan didn't care: "I won't go in anymore. I came today to ask you to follow me."

"Go...where?"

He was able to ask such a question, in fact, he had exposed his own thoughts; but Zhao Huan probably heard too many swear words, so he didn't notice his disrespect at this time, so he just replied:
"Several generals are traveling abroad for the country. The New Year has just passed, and I will pay a visit to them."

Okay, look down on Zhao Shicheng, to understand Zhao Shicheng...

I don't know when this one will become Zhao Shicheng.

That being said, although Lin'an is big, there are only a few capable people, which is actually quite normal.Moreover, as an emperor, he was more legitimate than Zhao Shicheng.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Huan who had been slow for so long before he started to act, and he couldn't help but appear to be moving slowly.

Xiang Guangshi lowered his head and thought for a while, if he was not there, then everything would have nothing to do with him, no matter what those family members did, it was beyond his control.

But if you go...you might be able to say something at a critical moment, and those few families will make money after all if they accept their own favor.

So he cupped his hands and said: "It should be so, that villain will have a walk with His Majesty."

Zhao Huan was very relieved, he pulled Xiang Guangshi into his carriage, he really looked like a king and minister like a fish in water.

A group of them rushed towards Yue Fei's house in a mighty manner, and all of this was seen by the person Zhong Feng called to stare at.

Just followed again, seeing a few people entering the Yue Mansion with his own eyes, that person hurried around outside the North Palace Gate... Entering the North Palace Gate is the Xuande Palace and Xiaoxi Lake, and after entering the Inner Palace, this is the Imperial City Secretary The only place still under control.

Zhong Feng received the news immediately. When he came back from Yingzhou, the emperor only gave him [-] people.

If it was just these five hundred people, of course they wouldn't be able to do much, but he still had five hundred sets of armor, which were heavy armor taken off Tiefutu's body.

With this thing, only armor-piercing people are strong enough, that is the real invulnerability.

Zhong Feng thought for a while, and then said to the eunuch beside him:

"Including the water gate, there are twelve gates in Lin'an. If the officials only allow one gate to be seized, it is indeed not difficult."

"However, if one door is stolen, the rest of the people are not allowed to know, this..."

The eunuch was Huang Yanjie who arrived one step earlier, the old eunuch replied with a smile:

"Many of Wang Xie's people have escaped before. Now, among the soldiers and horses in the city, one out of three is from the Sanya and the Imperial City Division. The Imperial City Division is easy to handle, and the Sanya's are also easy to handle."

Everyone knows this truth, Huang Yanjie knows it, Zhong Feng knows it, but Wang Xie knows it too.

All the remaining people in Sanya were dispersed by him, and it was impossible for these people to stay together.

Seeing that the commander was silent, Huang Yanjie continued:
"Actually, how Wang Xie and the others handed over the three Yamen's guns, wouldn't you be able to hand over their guns just like that!"

"That's it..." Zhong Feng felt that this was feasible, and if he insisted on gnawing on these stinky bones, it would not be impossible.

It's just that in this way, it doesn't meet the emperor's request not to disturb other people.

"Someone still needs to watch the inner palace. If there are too many people, it will not be beautiful. I will call 100 people and let them try it."

After speaking, he looked at the Qingyan Palace not far away. All the women living there were the emperor's women, including his sister naturally.

"Actually, officials can come in directly."

"Your Majesty deeply understands, how can you and I figure it out clearly?"

Zhong Feng nodded: "Then... from Yuhang Gate."

Yuhang Gate was the farthest from the imperial palace, but it was the largest gate in Lin'an, but it was also the place where Wang Xie's troops were stationed the least.

After all, he only has such a small number of people. Each gate can only have a force of 300 people. It is impossible for him to send all the people out. Some important places need to be watched by people...

There are hundreds of people at Yuhang Gate, and it is indeed the easiest place to break through.

Huang Yanjie arched his hands towards the person on the chair:

"Then I will go to the official... The official's house is only half an hour's journey here, and the commander should arrange it earlier."

The old eunuch did not move slowly, and when he left the palace, Zhong Feng called out to greet people.

Huang Yanjie didn't lie. When he came before, the emperor was indeed still thirty miles outside Lin'an City.

But I don't know who gave this His Majesty an idea... Anyway, it's not Lu Zai, the King of Yongjia County is also a king after all, and his marriage naturally cannot be easy.

There were more than 500 people in the wedding party alone, and they came from Shanyin. Counting the wedding gifts from the Tang Mansion, the team was about seven or eight hundred.

Liu Bang knew that Lin'an was ahead, and according to his temperament, he should have led his troops to fight in, and then called out all the people in Lin'an, let them be a witness, and then make a good show of himself.

But no, he couldn't do that.

In everything, there must be a way out. When he used Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, he also left Xiang Guangshi behind; when he killed Qin Hui, he didn't kill all the Qin Party members.
What he has to deal with now is the Zhao family, even if he doesn't want to admit it, but this Song country is the Zhao family's Song country, and he is indeed Zhao Gou in the eyes of others.

Comparing his heart to his heart, if it were him who was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the people from the old Liu family would be his last trump card, his way out.

It is said that today is different from the past, but the truth will never change. It is just four words to kill chickens and monkeys, but the degree of it is difficult to measure.

If you pass it, you will kill the chicken to scare the monkey; if you don't, you will kill the chicken to show the monkey.

If he was a ranger, he would kill if he killed, it didn't matter.

But he is the emperor.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and Han Fei said that what can harm a country is nothing more than the five beetles (du) and eight traitors, beetles, and moths.

Confucianism uses literature to confuse the law, chivalry uses martial arts to ban law, political strategists gossip about right and wrong, imperialists evade military service without taking responsibility for themselves, profiteers profit from the people...

This is the five beetles.

The monarch's bed with each other, being next to him, father and brother, nurturing calamities, people's cuteness, popularity, power, and four directions, these are the eight traitors.

The prestige among them means that what the ministers and people think is good, the monarch thinks it is good; what the ministers and people think is bad, the monarch thinks it is not good.

This is why he has always scoffed at the rules.

But even if everyone knows the eight traitors, how many people have been able to avoid their harm since ancient times?

Is it because they are not smart enough?

Of course not, because the rules are the rules, you can look down on it, you can ignore it, you can even try to smash it.

But it is there, whether you see it or not, it is always there. You can jump out of the rules and try to get rid of its control, but at the same time, you have to bear the backlash from it.

Regarding right and wrong, Liu Ji felt that he was quite clear about it.

A group of people changed into their wedding clothes at the Prince's Mansion, and headed towards Lin'an City in a swaggering manner. The rest of the people were waiting for news from Lin'an. As long as Zhongfeng got their hands, they would rush over immediately.

The bride still doesn't know what happened. She can't come out, she can't lift her hijab, she can't even talk to others.

Even if she felt something happened outside, she could only wonder in her heart.

Thirty miles away, they arrived in a short time. Everyone knew that the king of Yongjia was welcoming his relatives today, but the team had only been out for half a day, why did they turn back?

Although the guard at Chongxin Gate was curious, he didn't dare to neglect this one. He said so, but when the group of people entered the city halfway, the leader still found trouble:

"Are you from the county king's family?"

Wang Qi was wearing a red robe, holding a suona and blowing wildly. The man happened to be standing next to him, so he replied:
"Yes."

The man said again: "What happened then? Why didn't you see the county king?"

"Oh," Wang Qi took out the excuse she had prepared a long time ago: "A lot of big rocks fell down on the road to Shanyin, and now I can't get through it. The king of the county is behind, and I will be there later."

The leader stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly drew out his knife and pointed it at Wang Qi.

Everyone was taken aback by this man's actions, and heard the man say:
"You are not from the county palace at all!"

I don't know how he saw it, but Liu Bang slapped:

"Brother, what are you talking about? If you're not from the county palace, how can you have such a welcoming team?"

The man naturally knew this truth, but at this moment, he insisted on it, and even called someone.

Seeing that things were getting worse, the one next to him asked in a low voice:

"Could it be a mistake? I remember that sedan chair, it really belongs to the county prince's mansion."

The man was very firm: "Absolutely!"

As he spoke, he also lowered his voice: "Damn, when I left the city today, I just missed a few happy words, and I was slapped twice by the people of the county's royal family."

"And now...you kid, didn't you also stay with the county king for a few days before? His house is full of things that rely on people's power, and you will talk to us so nicely?"

The man suddenly felt that it made sense, and he was on guard in his heart, but he was still a little worried:

"If you make a mistake, it's not easy to handle."

"Then give him a try!"

Saying that, the leader looked at Liu Bang and pulled him aside:
"The weather is getting colder, everyone wants to drink some hot tea and warm wine, but it's suffering here, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bang knew what he meant, but he didn't have any money on him, so he said a few words to the man beside him. The man paused, turned around and opened the front curtain of the sedan chair, and saw the bride The wife really wore a lot of gold and silver on her hands, and without even discussing it, she just grabbed it off.

Poor Tang Wan was ignorant all the time, and didn't dare to take off the curtain of her head. She didn't expect that she would be bullied by the evil slaves of the county's palace before she even passed the door, and she began to cry again.

Liu Bang held a handful of rare gadgets in front of the guard, and the man took them all, but he was even more determined, these people were by no means from the county prince's mansion.

People in the county palace, do they need to pay this money?

The people around him also reacted and shouted:
"There are thieves, there are thieves!"

Liu Bang was so angry that he took the money and didn't do anything. The most important thing was that the dog was about to attract other people. He didn't even think about it. He put two fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle. .

Those two people didn't know what this man was trying to do, but they saw that the one who played the suona just now was terrible, as if he had taken aphrodisiac, his eyes suddenly turned red.

The leading guard only heard a 'click', and saw the man next to him, whose hands were twisted into hemp ropes.

"Don't worry about it, damn it, take this door!"

Damn, I even told you to live longer.

"Don't let one go!"

Fortunately, half of the people have already entered the city,

Fortunately, they have nearly 200 people, and there are only more than [-] people on the opposite side.

Fortunately, his soldiers had just come down from the battlefield. Fortunately, these people were useless eggs. Fortunately, these people oppressed the people, causing movement here, and no one went out to watch the excitement.

Liu Bang watched these people continue to be captured, and then looked at the Song Imperial City in the distance, where only one roof was exposed.

"The official family..."

Wang Qi interrupted his thoughts, Liu Bang took off the red robe outside, threw it on the ground, and walked towards the city without looking back.

"I leave it all to you."

Wang Qi was overjoyed, as if today was really his wedding day.

Looking at these soldiers of Wang Xie, they showed their big white teeth.
