Chapter 164
The story of Emperor Xiaociyuan entering the enemy's camp to negotiate conditions spread slowly in Lin'an City.

But the Jin man said he wanted money, but the officials refused to raise money from everyone, and the news that the old princess was to bear it spread quickly.

In a short time, even the Wanmin Book was delivered.

It is only said that Lin'an is standing with Zhao Guan's family everywhere, swearing to the death; as long as your majesty speaks, anyone with a command is willing to join the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty and show their strength.

Not only that, but various merchants took the lead and sent a lot of money, saying it was used to reward the soldiers.

The emperor expressed that he was very moved, but he still gave the money back to everyone.

"The common people have already paid taxes, how can I have the heart to collect their hard-earned money again!"

The messenger who sent the message conveyed Liu Bang's words as they were, and now it's all over, and everyone is even more moved. Couldn't be more helpful.

After the old princess finished writing the note, Emperor Xiaociyuan ran again, but his horse was taken away last time, this time he could only walk over, and the emperor raised his hand from a long distance away Come on, thinking that I have won what they want for Jin Guo, what's the matter, this time I can sit and talk.

But he didn't.

He was led into the big tent. He didn't know Qin San, but he could understand what Jin people said.

This person's every move is indeed the style of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom; in addition, the banner of the He Shilie family is flying here; I guess this leader is the fourth prince's favorite son-in-law, let alone Dare to offend.

So he was not allowed to sit, so he stood there honestly, with that warm and gentle smile on his face.

"Does this thing... count?"

Zhao Huan nodded again and again: "The one who counts is the one who counts. This is written by the mother of the Qian family in the Song Dynasty. It can be exchanged for money anywhere in the south of the Yangtze River."

After a pause, he added: "The Qian family has a lot of property in Jiankang Mansion, you can send someone to get it for a try first, if it doesn't work...it will definitely work."

Qin San put the note away, and continued:
"Even so, there is still a little sincerity."

"It's just that it's not enough."

Although he already knew the nature of these people, Zhao Huan still couldn't help but said:
"But what you promised just now, as long as you give me the money..."

Qin San interrupted him directly: "Just now was just now, and now is now."

"Besides, have Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and the others retreated? If they haven't, it means that you haven't reached an agreement yet."

The face of Lao Jiu kept flashing in Zhao Huan's mind, and he said with some embarrassment:

"I don't know what else the Marshal wants?"

Qin San scratched his face... Obviously the emperor could let himself kill this person directly, but he had to pull out many other things.

The longer you stay here, the greater the possibility of being exposed, and Emperor Zhao will definitely not admit it at that time, and he will not be the one to blame.

Thinking of this, he became a little anxious:
"My emperor wants to repair the palace, but there is a shortage of craftsmen, so let's bring another 150 craftsmen."

Craftsman...

I thought they still wanted money, but unexpectedly they just wanted some craftsmen.

Zhao Huan lowered his head and thought for a while, this request is not too much, and Lao Jiu would definitely not refuse it.

Then he bowed and cupped his hands and said, "I'll go back and discuss it, and please wait for the Marshal."

When the city of Kaifeng was broken, there were many craftsmen and musicians who were captured by the north. These people's lives were not only more comfortable than many ministers, but even more comfortable than the two emperors.

At least there is food and drink, life is safe, and occasionally some money can be rewarded.

Otherwise, trying to imitate the magic arm bow and improve the iron pagoda based on the level of the golden man is simply a dream.

When he panted heavily and brought back the request from the other side, he had no time to care about Lao Jiu's reaction anymore.

Walking back and forth with these two legs is already very exhausting for him. Even when the coolness is not abating, his body is still sweating a lot.

As soon as the hot sweat cooled, the whole person became cold again, and he couldn't stop swaying.

"Craftsman...how can this be done?"

While drinking, Liu Bang cast his eyes on the old princess uncontrollably. The old lady seemed to be infected by Zhao Huan, and couldn't help shaking several times.

"I only have money, no one!"

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you so fierce?"

Liu Bang glanced at her angrily, what did this woman think of herself, as if she wanted everything from her!
"Su Fu, Su Fu, don't fucking cry, come here quickly!"

The old man was called by name, sobbing uncontrollably:

"Official, are you looking for a minister?"

"Have those people returned to work...they are those who work in Taixue."

"Reporting to the official family, I have gone, day after day, and never neglected."

Liu Bang nodded: "Then call them over and tell them that they don't have to do these things for me anymore."

Su Shangshu has become a ruthless marionette. After receiving the emperor's order, he took a group of forbidden soldiers to the Taixue, and quickly invited everyone over.

These people didn't know what happened, but when they heard Su Fu say, "I don't need to do these jobs anymore", they all rushed over as if they had been pardoned.

They were almost used to it, but who knew that that bastard Zhao Shicheng came to give them hope, and the emperor hurried back after a few days of good times.

The ups and downs are too fast, and it is easy to cause mental problems. Many people here have become a little abnormal now.

"You guys have worked hard. Afterwards, the Taixue built a lot of houses. I really didn't think of this matter."

When everyone heard the emperor say this, they really thought that life was getting better, and they were excited and sad for more than half a year. They didn't even say a polite word for a while, and they all shed tears.

"I also know that you hate me in your hearts. There are many people who don't really do things for Qin Hui. They are really forced to. I can understand all of this."

"But don't be afraid, your hard days will end from today on."

"His Majesty……"

Wang Ciweng regretted it very much. Back then, he got on Qin Hui's pirate ship. He was rich and powerful, and he lived a precarious life.

If he is given another chance, he must choose to be a loyal minister.

A loyal minister who is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and loyal to the country.

At this time, the emperor gave them another chance, and many people's tears became more sincere, and they all secretly told themselves in their hearts that they must repay Zhao Guan's family well if they get this chance.

"You all did things that hurt Song Lijin before, and you probably didn't regard yourself as a Song person in your heart."

"In that case, let's go to Jin Country, that is your country, and I won't force you to stay here."

Then, without waiting for their explanation, he waved his big hand, put ropes on everyone's hands, and Zhao Huan led them out of the city alone.

These people don't know what happened yet, they just kept asking the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan, he was already very tired, and now he became even more irritable, and just told the story of the Jin people's siege .

"They want the craftsman to be one hundred and fifty, and you are here to make up the number."

"But..." Gou Long Ruyuan was a little puzzled, "We are not craftsmen!"

"Yes or no, do you have the final say?"

It was rare for Zhao Huan to turn black in front of them: "Stay in Lin'an, continue to do those lowly errands, and worry about losing your life at any time."

"Going to the Northland, you are all people who have read the books of sages. You should know that the Lord of Gold loves talents. As long as you really have the ability, are you afraid that your life will not be as good as the Southern Dynasty!"

Seeing that everyone suddenly fell silent, he realized that he used the word "Nanchao" to describe the Song Dynasty. He felt something was wrong for a while, so he cleared his throat:
"Anyway, the situation is like this. The North isn't necessarily all bad, and the South isn't necessarily all good. Wealth and honor are all up to you... That's all for now."

"It's just that if I have the opportunity to go to the Five Kingdoms City and kneel down before the spirit of the late emperor for me, I will finally accept your love."

Zhao Huan's words were almost heartfelt. Everyone thought that their family members were all in the south, and they inevitably felt some sadness about parting. Then they thought that as the Emperor Xiaociyuan said, there were indeed many Everyone has achieved wealth and glory in the Kingdom of Jin.

Du Chong's mediocrity can still be worshiped as a prime minister, and Ren Dejing, a martial artist, can still be an excellent minister in Xixia. If he goes, he may not be inferior to these people.

Whether happy or sad, complex emotions welled up in my heart, and I heard Zhao Huan's request again. They were silent for a long time, and finally agreed.

Bringing these people to the camp of the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Huan was almost exhausted. He just hoped that the Jin people would be satisfied this time, and stop making other demands.

Even if Lao Jiu agreed, he still couldn't move.

After walking back and forth for more than ten miles, my feet were worn out, no matter whether I was in the city or in the camp, there was not even a place to sit...

But if they are really so easy to talk to, then they are here for nothing.

Qin San and Qin Da had dealt with quite a few of these people, so they didn't show up. They just sent people to take the roster, and after confirming that they matched, they were confined in the open space.

"Don't come out, or you will be killed without mercy."

Everyone was very peaceful at this moment, like obedient sheep, they really retreated into the circle.

Qin San looked at the Zhao family emperor, the more obedient he was, the more contemptuous Qin San's face became, Zhao Huan was used to that look, anyway in Jin Kingdom, those people looked at him like this.

He just asked: "So, can the marshal retire?"

Qin San shook his head, extinguishing the little hope in Zhao Huan's heart. He really wanted to get angry, but after working hard for a long time, he found that he seemed to have forgotten even to get angry.

He no longer has the ability to be angry and angry.

"Then... what does the Marshal want?"

Qin San stood up from the case for the first time. He looked at this person, and slowly but firmly expressed his request.

One last request.

"When the empress dowager of your country came out of Shangjing, she didn't get my lord's permission... This is considered to be an escape."

"My emperor Shengming originally wanted to send the empress dowager back after the peace agreement was reached, but she left without saying goodbye. She lost some etiquette and never took my lord seriously."

"So, this is my last request. As long as your Excellency complies, I will withdraw my troops immediately and never come to Laian again."

"Please leave the Empress Dowager to me."

Zhao Huan widened his eyes, as if he couldn't understand what he said.

"This...Marshal, is there some misunderstanding! I'm waiting..."

Qin San waved his hand: "There is no misunderstanding, my emperor really didn't know about letting you back, so he specifically asked me to wait."

"However, you can rest assured that my emperor only mentioned the name of the empress dowager. As for you, you are not among the people my lord wants."

"This is the last request. Your Excellency can think about it and see if it can be fulfilled."

Zhao Huan was speechless, and said everything else, asking Lao Jiu to hand over his mother... This has undoubtedly reached his bottom line!
But soon, he remembered that back then, all the women in the Kaifeng mansion belonged to the Jin people... It was his own order to collect beauties to meet the Jin people's requirements.

At that time, the Governor of Kaifeng helped him to do this, and even earned the title of "Golden Grandpa". He knew and remembered all these things.

If it were him back then, if Jin Ren only wanted this woman, he would immediately agree to it without even thinking about it, and he would have to kowtow to his ancestors several times in the Taimiao, thanking them for their protection.

Lao Jiu is not a person who cares about fame, if he can tell the difference between the important and the important... and the ground only needs the empress dowager, not himself, for himself, this matter shouldn't have such a great pressure.

He gritted his teeth: "This is a big matter, please wait a moment."

"No rush, but as soon as possible."

The most anxious one was Qin San. Seeing that Zhao Huan's legs were filled with lead, he mercifully gave him back the horse he rode when he first came here.

This kind of behavior made Zhao Huan feel warm in his heart... Maybe you don’t think it’s anything if a person treats you well all the time, and you even take it for granted after a long time; but a person always treats you badly, and occasionally treats you a little Better, you can feel the warmth like the sun.

For Emperor Xiaociyuan, he is so warm now.

Riding on the horse, letting the wind blow by his ears, he seemed to have forgotten the chill on his back. With his mission, he doubled again and returned to Lin'an, back in front of his ninth younger brother.

As expected, when he made the Jinren's request, Lao Jiu kicked over the table in front of him... The cups and saucers were scattered all over the floor and shattered into pieces.

The angrier he was, the happier Zhao Huan was.

The more deflated and useless he was, the more satisfied and happy Zhao Huan became.

"Too deceiving!"

He cursed angrily, making the ministers feel that His Majesty finally couldn't take it anymore... There was no need to bear it at all, and those people in Lin'an City definitely couldn't get in!

On the other side, the people from the Imperial City Division scattered in the streets and alleys of the city as soon as Zhao Huan finished speaking. They all said that the Jin people were getting more and more demanding, and they began to ask for women.

The men were even more furious, while the women didn't even dare to show their faces. Although many of them had never experienced the Jingkang Rebellion, they had heard countless stories of those years, and they were deeply impressed by those tragic events. in the head.

But I also heard that Zhao Guan's family rejected Jin Ren's request immediately... My Lord!His Majesty asked for money and people to give, first he refused to take money from everyone, but now he has retreated to this point, but he is unwilling to give his people to them.

It is said that the people are more important than the emperor, but this sentence has been read for hundreds of years, and many people have not understood what it feels like until now.

What it feels like to be valued is what it feels like now.

"Done!"

"Tell His Majesty the Emperor, we swear to guard this Lin'an City to the death, and discipline that golden man will not be able to step in even half a step!"

"Your Majesty, please change your mind. We shouldn't have talked with them, and we're going to decide whether to live or die!"

While everyone was angry, I heard someone say:

"The Jinren can back down a step, as long as they return the Empress Dowager Wei to them."

If it was okay before, but now they are all united, how can they be willing to do it.

They all gathered towards Jiahui Gate, and in a short while, the city gate was full of people.

Some knelt down directly, and some gritted their teeth, but no matter what it was, it was a request:
"Your Majesty, let's fight the Jinren!"

"Fight!"

Hu Quan and the others were overjoyed, the opinion of the people had come before them, the officials could ignore themselves, but they absolutely could not ignore the voices of the common people.

Liu Bang had already stood up and pressed his hands down to calm everyone down.

"I know what you think."

"I also want to fight, but at this time the enemy is outnumbered. Zhang Taiwei fought against those people yesterday, and there may be an army of 20 Jin Guo outside."

As soon as these words came out, Hu Quan's face immediately changed. Where did the 20 people come from?

It's just that when he was about to speak, his mouth was gagged by the guards who had been staring at him, and he couldn't make a sound anymore.

"The Queen Mother is my mother. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to hand her over more than me?"

"No, not at all."

While he was talking, he seemed to be in love... Yes, the human heart is made of flesh, and the emperor is also a human being. After being separated from his mother for so many years, it was finally reunited.

Everyone only knew that it shouldn't be, but they didn't know that the most uncomfortable person should be His Majesty the Emperor.

"But, the heavens let Da Song have such a catastrophe, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"As long as the common people can be protected, let alone the queen mother, even if they want me to go there in person, I will go."

"So...in fact, I have discussed it with the queen mother, she understands the righteousness, and is willing to make this trip!"

"Everyone, please don't try to persuade us. If you are really reluctant to part with the Empress Dowager, then every February, let's go to the Qiantang River to have a look. If the wind blows and brings waves, then the Empress Dowager will come back to visit us! "

Seeing Zhao Guan's family wiping tears on the top of the city wall, this scene made people feel uncomfortable, and finally they couldn't bear to see him cry alone, so they started to cry.

For a moment, there was a lot of crying from the family members of Jiahui. Those who didn't know it thought that the city had been broken.

On the other side, the gate of the city had already been opened. The empress dowager was sitting on the horse, and Zhao Huan was holding her hand vigorously below. Many people remembered this time, the woman who sacrificed herself for everyone.

Although she came from a humble background, at this time, she was indeed the number one empress dowager in the Song Dynasty.

I saw tears in her eyes again, she couldn't stop talking, but it was a pity that she couldn't hear clearly because she was far away, so she could only hear the emperor shouting:

"Send it to the queen mother!"

Then he echoed: "Send it to the Queen Mother!"

One after another, many of them were crying, I really feel sorry for them.

Only Zhao Huan kept cursing Lao Jiu while pulling the rein.

I don't know that giving more horses is better than being treated by the Jinren.

Hearing the Empress Dowager Wei keep calling 'Nine Brothers, Nine Brothers', crying and crying, I couldn't help but slander Old Nine.

Lao Jiu is indeed ruthless, even his own mother is willing to give it away... If he is willing, he would be willing to change himself, but he can be like him without saying a word of farewell and comfort, Zhao Huan asked himself whether he should do it less than.

"Don't cry anymore. There is no filial son in front of the sick bed for a long time. Then Lao Jiu has no affection for you long ago. Can't you understand?"

"I wrote so many letters to him in the Kingdom of Jin. You can see that he replied once? He is a cold person. Your own son, you don't understand yourself?"

Empress Dowager Wei has gone far, and she can no longer see her son's shadow, and finally accepts this reality somewhat.

"Jiu Ge'er is not that kind of person...he is very filial."

"Filial piety?"

Zhao Huan was very disdainful, "If you are really filial, why would you be sent out of the city?"

"Actually, don't worry too much. The golden man said it. It's mainly because we left without saying goodbye. As long as you go back and make it clear, Lao Jiu will let those people withdraw their troops, and you will still be able to come back."

Empress Dowager Wei wiped her tears: "Really?"

"You're not me. If I go, he just doesn't want to see me come back, just as he wants."

"After all, you are also his own mother. The old nine is cool and cold, and you are still a person after all."

"You are also different from me. You are also related to the King Gai Tian. At least you can save your life when you go back."

"Besides, it is indeed the request made by the Jinren this time, and it is not Lao Jiu who asked them to come to ask for you. You should be more at ease, and don't cry anymore."

He didn't know whether he was consoling her or persuading himself, but after such an analysis, he really made himself clear a lot.

The two rushed towards the camp of the Jin people, but this time, something seemed wrong.

Those golden soldiers were no longer as casual as they had been before, and they stood in place like logs one by one.

Zhao Huan took a step forward, and their eyes moved a little. The feeling of being stared at by thousands of people...is really not good.

The Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan just couldn't stop smiling, and occasionally nodded when he saw someone with a higher status.

Queen Mother Wei was a little scared:
"Big Brother..."

"Nothing, nothing."

While Zhao Huan was talking, he could smell the pungent smell of blood.

After finally passing through the crowd, he got outside the camp of the Jin Kingdom coach, but he stayed where he was.

Those 150 people, the 150 ministers who agreed to be craftsmen, still stand in that circle, but...

The circle became much smaller, the inside of the circle was crowded with many people, and the outside was full of human heads.

A group of golden men surrounded them, and the two men pulled one end of the rope, and with a slight tug, the circle became smaller again.

Seven or eight of them were exposed outside without even shouting, and their heads were immediately chopped off by the people around them.

Qin Da stood outside and shouted:

"The next lap is coming soon, everyone, please stand up early!"

Needless to say, the people inside formed a ball and kept pushing towards the middle.

Someone whispered something in his ear, and he looked back at himself.

Zhao Huan only felt that his back suddenly became cold again.
