PS: Apologies here. A few days ago, when I wrote about Zhang Deyi, I made a mistake, this guy surrendered to Wang Ze, so he was later cut down by the emperor, so he should not be imprisoned by the rebels. Typographical errors have been corrected.

Thanks to Tong Tianlei for his reward, today's three watches.

Tao Lin, no, it should be called Tao Wei now, stood on a boulder on Steel Tooth Island and began to give his speech in front of hundreds of prisoners with unusually bright faces.

"Wen Yanbo wants to kill all those who participated in the rebellion and scare those who want to rebel in the future! Fortunately, someone wrote to Zhao Guan's family, so you were not beheaded. But do you think that those who are in power will spare you? Rebels like you have always been sent to Salmon Island, and you have seen what Salmon Island is like! Compared with beheading, it's just that you die early and die later, and the way of death is different! ”

"Do you want to die? If you don't want to die, follow me! ”

Du Meng asked loudly: "What are you going to do with the sprinkle family?" ”

Tao Wei pointed to the sea to the north: "To the north, a hundred miles away, is Suzhou in the Liao Kingdom!" There is a big wood that the Great Song needs! There is iron ore! When the trees are cut down, there is fertile land! It's a great place to build a foundation. Since you can't survive in the Great Song Dynasty, come with me to Liao to establish a foundation of your own! ”

"Does anyone dare to go to Liao with me? If you don't dare to go, you can raise your hand and I'll send him back to Salmon Island! ”

No one expected that this would be the case, the span was too large, some people were at a loss, and some people turned their heads and ears. Tao Lin did not stop the noise of the people, but just smiled and waited. Du Meng puffed up his chest and asked loudly: "We are all fighting men, so what does it matter if we go to Liao to fight, but what is the benefit to us?" Besides, the Liao iron cavalry is not easy to fight, if there is no military weapon in hand, it is to die. ”

Tao Wei smiled: "The benefits are naturally there!" The land of Liao is our own! All these lands will be given to you in the future. However, this is a long-term benefit. Let's talk about the near future, if you can find a place to settle down in three or two years, I can find a way to bring your family to reunite with you! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone came to their senses. Someone asked, "Is this true?" ”

Tao Wei said: "Actually, it doesn't cost anything to pick up your family, but where to bring your family and place it?" You can see that the small island around here does not hold many people, and if there is no fertile land, your family will have to suffer with you. ”

Seeing that people's spirits were concentrated, Tao Wei waved his hand, and the two of them unfolded a large map drawn on silk. Tao Lin pointed to the map and said, "See this, this is the terrain of Suzhou, Liaoguo!" It's full of woodland and swamps, which are not conducive to cavalry galloping! And it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so the Liaoguo Iron Horse has no place for this at all! This place has the narrowest landmass, less than ten miles of land! The Liao people are not good at water warfare, as long as they can build a city here, why not occupy this place? ”

Now someone started to nod. Tao Wei said again: "Don't worry, you are bought by me with money, and I will not let you fight with the Liao people!" As long as you listen to me, in a few years, this place will be ours! ”

Then Tao Wei said to Du Meng: "As for the weapon, don't worry. I'll be sure to get you the right weapons. ”

A young man behind him picked up a strong crossbow with great eyes, and these veterans could see at a glance that it was the standard strong crossbow that the Song army was used to. Now Du Meng is more determined about Tao Wei's origin, thinking that no matter how bad he is now, he will only die, and there is nothing to be afraid of. So he took the lead and shouted: "In that case, the Sprinkle family has done it with you!" It's just that what Chief Tao said today can't be broken! ”

Tao Wei jumped down from the stone and walked in front of Du Meng and said, "Naturally, we won't break our promise, if we don't believe it, we can swear by high-five you!" ”

Du Meng stretched out his hand, and the two high-fived three times. When the others saw this, they also expressed their willingness to follow Tao Lin. After all, no one wants to go to Salmon Island and wait for death, right?

Du Meng was the representative of the prisoners at this time, so he asked: "Chief Tao, I don't know when we will go to Liao?" ”

Tao Wei said: "This matter is not urgent. I'm not familiar with everyone yet, and I went to Liao in a hurry, and if something happens, it will inevitably go wrong. Besides, there are still things that need to be done, so let's practice on this island for a few months. ”

Du Meng exchanged glances with the others, and his heart was somewhat settled. No matter what the other party's purpose is, he is willing to let so many people eat for nothing for a few months, which shows that people really don't take these people seriously, so this Tao leader's promise is still somewhat credible, so he decided to take a look at the situation first.

————————————————————————

Li Bu was anxious about the emperor's urgency, and rushed back to Bianliang non-stop along the way, deliberately did not wash the soil on his face, dusted off his clothes and entered the palace to pay the decree. The emperor praised Li Buqi in his routine, and gave Li Buqi's father a petty official. This is all due to praise the meritorious heroes, and the ministers have no objections.

After the ministers retreated, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and retreated, leaving only the old eunuch Chen Lin alone. Then he asked: "Recently, there have been some rumors in Jingshi, can you hear about it?" ”

Li Buqi saw that the emperor's cheeks were a little swollen, and the corners of his mouth were also a little angry, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, but he still pretended to be stupid and said: "It's about the country, and the minister has heard about it, but the minister has always had a lot of affairs, so he didn't make any special inquiries." The minister thought that this matter had been decided by His Majesty, and he did not deliberately understand it. ”

If Li Buqi said that he was completely unaware, then it would be false. He said that he had heard about it, but he didn't know the details, Zhao Zhen didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and then said: "Now the government and the opposition are all clamoring to say that the life of the remaining children is not good, it is the life of Ke's parents and brothers, and it should not have been born." There are even people who bluntly say that the leftovers will even go to the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, now they are unanimously asking me to send the leftovers to Xiangguo Temple to become monks. What do you think about this? ”

The royal affairs are not so easy to mix, Li Buqi said: "This is Your Majesty's family matter, and Your Majesty has already made a decision." ”

Zhao Zhen said with rare sternness: "You saved the leftovers, you can't get out of this matter, you can't shirk it." ”

Li Buqi said solemnly: "The minister is afraid that Your Majesty will send the third prince to be a monk according to the words of those people, and in a few years, someone will say how forbearant Your Majesty is." ”

After speaking, Li Buqi peeked at the corner of the emperor's mouth and twitched before continuing: "Your Majesty didn't have a son at that time, these people said that the first child raised by His Majesty was Ke's parents and brothers, Kejiangshan, do they mean that Your Majesty shouldn't be blessed?" If His Majesty sends the third prince to be a monk, I'm afraid that some people will associate it. ”

Zhao Zhen's mouth twitched even harder now.

Li Buqi continued: "The minister thinks that those people have other plans, so they don't want to make up rumors." ”

Zhao Zhen looked a little crazy: "So don't give up mean that these are all nonsense?" ”

Li Buqi tried his best to pretend to be fair: "The minister has not studied such things as divination numerology and does not dare to say it, but the situation that the minister has seen is mostly false. If a fortune can determine the survival of the country, then how could so many dynasties of the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties perish? ”

Zhao Zhen asked again: "What you said makes sense, but the matter of this Ke's parents and brothers is often heard, is there really such a thing?" ”

Li Buqi knew that Zhao Zhen was not a strong-willed person, and he was timid, and now that so many gods were fooling him about the existence of his parents, and it involved his own life, it was strange that he was not afraid in his heart. Now the emperor is asking his opinion repeatedly in the hope that he will say something from his mouth that is in line with his tendency, so that he can be comforted in his heart, but he will not say this thing, and he is not a nanny.

Although the emperor looked at him with blank eyes, Li Buqi still said solemnly: "The minister doesn't know what His Majesty heard, but the minister thinks that most of them are things that are chiseled and attached." ”

Seeing that he couldn't hear what he wanted from Li Buqi's mouth, the emperor had no choice but to say, "Well, I know. You've been out for a long time, so go home early and have a look. In the past two days, I will take a look at the third brother and the fourth brother, and the fourth brother was sick a few days ago. ”
