Chapter 294: The Black Emperor

"The minister is here." Gao Yu, who was drinking tea, stood up with a spirit.

"How do you say these guys who have brought disaster to the country and the people should be punished?"

Gao Yu looked at Zhao Shuo's innocent and harmless face, and said in a daze: "Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Ages, and those royal families are wicked people who usurp power, so the old minister feels that he should be degraded to the border army." ”

Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "This is a good idea, but can it calm the people's anger?" ”

Gao Yu's expression suddenly became alert.

Creak?

What does your majesty mean by this?

As if it means something else, not very satisfied with the results of the treatment of the degraded border army?

If Zhao Shuo doesn't want to lose face, he will definitely say to remove the 'very'.

is not satisfied.

Very dissatisfied.

However, Gao Yu quickly came back to his senses and smiled mysteriously: "Your Majesty, the old minister knows." ”

"Do you really understand?"

"Understood."

"Okay, then you can go down and do it."

"The old minister retired."

At this time, Gao Yu was already more certain that Zhao Shuo was going to kill those royal relatives.

It's just that in the name of disposal, it is still degraded to the border army.

It's just that those royal relatives have to die on the way to the border town.

In this way, the royal family who died inexplicably in Bianliang City before.

Zhao Shuo's imperial power completely lost its potential threat.

At the same time, on the royal street of Bianliang City.

Merchants from the south to the north began to visit the footprints of Shilihua Street again.

On this street, there is still a famous prostitute Li Shishi of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Almost everyone who comes here will admire Master Li's appearance.

He did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to win a smile from the beauty.

In addition, Song Huizong, the eldest brother behind Master Li, has been sanctioned by Zhao Shuo.

Therefore, those old skins who coveted Master Li became even bolder.

The current Bianliang City has been restored to peace for at least half a year with the defeat of Muhan and Jin Wushu.

Compared with the destruction of Hebei and Shandong by the war, Bianliang City basically maintains the appearance before the war.

In addition, the goods in the more developed Lianghuai area have been continuously transported to Bianliang City.

Therefore, the life of the people here is relatively worry-free.

At this time, under Master Li's wing, several yellow-faced and thin-skinned men were sitting under the wall, staring intently at Master Li's window.

They were looking forward to seeing the beauty.

After waiting for a long time, I found that there were no doors and windows closed.

A few people sat helplessly under the wall and took out a few moldy steamed buns from their arms.

Most of these people were refugees who fled the desert to the south, but there were also merchants who had been scattered by the war.

On the official road of Bianliang City, the street patrol who struck the gong shouted in a sonorous tone: "I issued a military recruitment order, continue to increase 200,000 troops to the northwest, and recruit another 500,000 troops to consolidate the border defense!" ”

"200,000 troops in the northwest? Haven't you already sent 200,000? Still want to send? ”

The dark-skinned man at the base of the city wall sighed.

Finding that the refugees sitting next to him did not respond, he continued: "The imperial court has been fighting the Jin people for three years, the people are not living, and the treasury is empty, how can they have the ability to raise 700,000? ”

"There is no way, the gold thief is trying to occupy our Central Plains, although the country is barren, but now His Majesty Zhao has great talent, he is bent on resisting Jin, so he naturally shrinks his clothes and eats to raise soldiers. Moreover, we heard that in the battle of Tongguan, His Majesty Zhao personally defeated the main force of the Jin army, and now the battle situation in the northwest is getting smoother and smoother! ”

A nearby refugee responded.

Then he turned his head to look at the dark-skinned man and said, "Lao Liu, what are you doing here in Bianliang City?" ”

Liu Xun said: "I sell some silk and satin, and now I am looking for a buyer in Bianliang City. ”

"Huh?" The emaciated man sitting next to him asked, "No, Lao Liu, where is your hometown?" ”

"Over there in Luzhou City."

"Didn't Luzhou City experience a big war? The gold thieves over there and the army of our dynasty suffered heavy casualties, the land was burned by the war and could not be cultivated, and the people fled a lot, so you can actually hoard silk and silk? ”

"Where did you get the silk silk? It can't be a hijacking of the assets of a large family, right? ”

"Alas, how can the assets of large families be so easily hijacked? We can't see it, it's mainly because the family is in the middle of the road. ”

"There's no way around it, I want to exchange the silk for silver taels and buy some food, so I won't starve to death."

"Okay, so what about your family when you go south this time?"

"It's all been scattered by the war, and now I don't know whether to die or live."

"Everyone is suffering from the same disease, so do you still have relatives in Bianliang City?"

"Yes, there is a little sister, this time we will come to Bianliang City together to do the last business."

After speaking, Liu Xun got up and said to the people around him: "Thank you fellow villagers for taking me to Bianliang City, otherwise I would have to walk for several days." ”

"You're welcome, it's just that the poor oxen who are ploughing the land are also exhausted."

Listening to the sad words of the fellow, Liu Xun stopped speaking and turned around to avoid the vision of the victims.

A moment later, Liu Xun entered the Zuihua Building.

He gave the bustard ten taels of silver, and was taken to a private room.

There was a girl in the room who was very poorly dressed.

Her eyes were seductive.

Full of enchanting charm.

When she saw Liu Xun, she immediately put away her charming posture and bowed with a serious face: "I've seen Lord Meng'an." ”

Meng An is one of the thousand households in the Jin army sequence.

He has a very high status in the military ranks.

Liu Xun looked around vigilantly and said in a deep voice: "Remember, this is not our hometown, you don't need to worship." ”

"Yes."

Looking at the woman, the anger in Liu Xun's heart dissipated a lot, and he immediately asked, "How is it?" Can you get used to the life and diet of the Song people? ”

"I've been here for less than half a month, I'm not used to it, I like to eat mutton."

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat."

"When you get back to your hometown, you're eating."

"Remember, don't reveal your identity, your only contact is me, as long as I'm not there, others point to you, you must not be fooled."

"Yes."

"Okay, I have to go, if there is any trouble, report to me as soon as possible."

"Hmm."

Just when Liu Xun left Flower Street.

The gong patrolling the streets shouted again: "Our court has issued a military recruitment order, and we will continue to increase 200,000 troops to the northwest and recruit another 500,000 troops to consolidate the border defense!" ”

In this way, Liu Xun is very uncomfortable to listen to.

And his face was extremely gloomy.

It's just that he doesn't know that in fact, Zhao Shuo doesn't have that much financial resources to raise 700,000 people now.

Even if it is equivalent to one-tenth, it will be difficult for him to do 70,000 people.

Because when Song Huizong and Zhao Kai recruited the 200,000 yuan, they had already used up the treasury silver.

But that doesn't mean Zhao Shuo doesn't recruit soldiers.

He's going to recruit the Praetorian Army.

Because of the two major battles between Lucheng Town and Tongguan, less than 20,000 of the more than 100,000 troops of Sticky Han remained.
