The shouting and killing of Hangzhou City lasted for two nights and a day before it gradually subsided.

The walls of the city are ruined, the ashes of the war are burned, the corpses are everywhere, and the blood is flowing on the road.

Fang 15 was shot dead in the battle, the thief army lost seven or eight horses, and Fang Baihua fled out of Dongcheng with the remaining more than 20,000 remnants.

Du Yan led the cavalry to chase nearly 100 miles, beheading more than 20,000 people by thousands, and the rest fled into the mountains, difficult to find, and then returned to the city.

It took a few more days to clean up the city, put up a list to calm the people, find the Ming Sect mark, arrest the disciples hidden in the market, reward them according to their merits, and write a detailed report to Tokyo to report the good news, Zhao Ta breathed a sigh of relief.

The forbidden army also died a lot in this battle, originally more than 45,000 people, but now there are only more than 30,000 left, and 10,000 soldiers killed, but it is still a great victory with less victory, and it is a battle to capture the city, which is of great significance.

Zhao Ta sat in the palace of King Qian, thinking about what to do with the concubines left by Fang La.

At the time of the war, it is just a mistake to kill, the general trend is irreversible, and any resistance in the way, even if it is not intentional or even wrongful, is bound to be ruthlessly crushed by the wheel of war, but at this moment it is not necessary.

Fang La's queen Shao Yuxian fled with Fang Baihua, and the rest of the concubines were all married by Fang La when he went to Hangzhou, most of them were the daughters of the common people.

Zhao Ta secretly gave Yao Pingzhong an order, asking him to let them all go, and then warned these women not to speak to others, forget their experiences, and think that their own family had escaped.

Zhao Ta is just doing this easily, even if Emperor Daojun knows about it in the future, whether he admits it or not, Emperor Daojun will not be able to do anything with him.

The next thing is a big thing, how to arrange the gold, silver and jewelry looted after Fang La's uprising.

This is a huge amount of money, with this money and the money obtained from the killing clan in Jiangning, plus the sweep of Huaixi last year, even if Zhao Ta immediately turns his face with the court and raises troops outside to stand on his own, it will be enough for at least ten years without worry.

And Huang Jue in Fujian was ordered by him to take advantage of the chaos in the southeast at this moment to pretend to be pirates to go to Guangzhou to kill the Hu people Pu family, if everything goes well, then the future will be more stable, and the two base areas in the southeast and Longyou will no longer be shackled by money.

Plunder and possession in war is the best means of development, otherwise what have they eaten and drunk since the Qin Dynasty? Almost all of them feed the war with war.

Merchants do make money, invent everyday things that have never appeared, and do win attention, but the money is too slow to accumulate and expand, and it also has to be intrigued with all aspects.

Zhao Ta is not from the market, he is a royal family, the beginning is the chapter of the card, has an innate advantage, do not have to climb up from the bottom of the little bit, slowly to reserve, do not have to do some small things, waste time and energy.

If you can use a knife and a horse to slash the level, you don't have to go to great lengths to think about it, to look ahead and look backwards, what you can get directly, you don't need to change to a slower way to go through those twists and turns, everything is fast, accurate, stable, and ruthless, which is enough.

With money, there is no worries, Zhao Ta is in a very happy mood at the moment, he sent Zhang Xian with the people of Luliuzhuang to quietly transport the money looted by Fang La out of the city from the underground passage, and then transport it to the Hongjue Temple in Niutou Mountain, together with the wealth of those scholars, and then find a way to transport it to the Longyou Protectorate.

As for Emperor Daojun's side, he will leave some of them, just like the last time he Pinghuaixi, leave a ...... Two hundred thousand taels is about the same.

Zhao Ta dealt with the affairs of the palace of King Qian, and did not live here, but stayed in the Hangzhou prefect's yamen, the environment of the prefect's yamen is better than the pacification department, there are rockeries and flowing water, bamboo forests and small lakes behind, the scenery is beautiful, and it makes people feel refreshed.

After dinner in the evening, he rested, and he was overworked these days, but now his heart was relaxed, and he slept until sunrise before waking up.

I saw a gentle ray of sunlight outside through the screen window, warm and comfortable, Zhao Ta climbed up, the breeze on the window, looking in front of him, the small lake in the park, the clear waves rippling, the birds chirping, the blue sky above like washing, immediately aroused his interest in playing.

After eating, Zhao Ta called: "Come on, call Xiuniang, go to West Lake to enjoy the scenery today!" ”

He gave an order, Ding Da Crab immediately went to arrange, the servants and maids in this house, immediately got busy, and after a while, the courtyard "fluttered" footsteps sounded chaotically, and a red-topped sedan chair embroidered with colorful satin was carried to the door from behind.

Zhu Xiuniang came with the army, and after entering Hangzhou, Zhao Ta ordered two women to be selected from the Jiaofang Division to serve, and if they served well, they were exempted from responsibility and moved into a good register.

One of these two daughters is named Hexiang and the other is called Qingxing, both of whom are natives of Hangzhou, proficient in blowing, playing and singing, and they also come with poems and songs.

Zhu Xiuniang sat in the sedan chair, the second daughter followed on both sides of the sedan chair, Zhao Ta got on the big belly red horse, Shen Fei led the pro-army outside, and there was a full set of battles such as the golden gourd axe and the sky mirror in front, and there were a thousand soldiers to follow, and they went straight to the West Lake of Hangzhou.

At this time, Hangzhou gradually returned to the previous lively scene, only the city gate was very strict, and those who did not have household registration in the suburbs were not allowed to enter, and they had to grasp and inquire, but other businesses were all open, and they could not help but not check.

Along the way, I saw three streets and nine alleys, high-rise buildings lined up, merchants and shops, dazzling.

As the saying goes, there is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, passing by the palace of the Qian Wang, only to see countless palaces and pavilions, see the hundred gardens, towering Qionglou Purple Mansion, strange flowers and green trees gather like clouds, everyone is full of praise: "A good Hangzhou, it really deserves its name." ”

It was Zhu Xiuniang who opened the sedan curtain and looked outside, her expression was slightly happy, and there was a trace of joy in her eyes.

From the Qingbo Gate out of the city, until the willow waves and the warbler stopped, there are colorful boats parked by the lake at this moment, carved railings and painted buildings, dragon heads and phoenix tails, the upper color canopy, the lower hidden bucket room.

Zhao Ta dismounted, was surrounded by a group of people on the color boat, sat down in the middle of the color pavilion, only to see that there are many women on the boat at the moment, all of them are the priests of the workshop Maiko, the four on the left wear red, the right four wear green, each take the oar, stretch, curling Tingting, cut through a lake of green glass, laughing, bit by bit, the lake splashes wet Luo Xiang skirt.

At this time, looking at Santai Mountain and Wulao Peak, it is deeply locked by purple smoke and fog, and the nine pavilions and six bridges on the Sugong Embankment are directly at the foot of Nanping Mountain.

Su Shi once wrote a poem: Six bridges cross the heavens and Han, and the north mountain begins to pass with the south mountain.

Zhao Ta looked at the beautiful scenery, smiled, looked at the eight oars of the maiko, the face was drenched in sweat, and she was panting, she couldn't help but laugh, and said to Zhu Xiuniang: "Xiuniang, comfortable?" ”

Zhu Xiuniang raised her delicate eyebrows, the corners of her mouth hung up with a slight sneer, and she was silent.

The painting boat arrived at the small continent of the middle tower, and the pro-army singers surrounded Zhao Ta and got off the painting boat, took out the food box, and put down the delicacies of the mountains and seas, delicacies and jade delicacies, seasonal fresh fruits, and jade liquid elixir on the pavilion in the center of the lake.

Zhao Ta sat down in the middle, Zhu Xiuniang sat on the side, accompanied by lotus fragrance and green apricots, and stood on both sides of the red and green concubines.

In an instant, the sandalwood board is tapped, the purple flute is quiet, the silk strings are tactful, the blowing sounds, the red and green women dance, first sing "Beauty Walk", and then sing "Drunk Fu Gui", the sound of the glamour is soulless, and the color sleeves are fluttering and frivolous.

Zhao Ta swallowed three cups, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were hazy, and he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you dance very well, come and rest, and this king will enjoy a glass of wine for everyone!" ”

All the dancers said a blessing together, and then came forward to grab the wine and eat like a bee, Zhu Xiuniang saw it in her eyes, worried in her heart, turned her face to look at the pavilion, and inadvertently saw Su Dongpo's inscription, so she said lightly: "Isn't that the word of Master Su?" ”

When Zhao Ta heard this, there was indeed a poem written on the wall of the pavilion, and the ink was clearly legible, but it was the true handwriting of Su Dongpo when he was the prefect of Hangzhou, and it was the first Bodhisattva.

Zhao Ta stood up and recited his words:

The rain on the autumn wind lake makes you want to go and stay. Today, the king lingers, and the Ming Dynasty is sad and kills.

The beautiful woman has a thousand tears and sprinkles it on the long river. There is no need to collect Shuang'e, passers-by cry more.

After he finished reciting, he turned his face to look at Zhu Xiuniang: "Why don't Xiuniang sing this song to relieve the boredom of this king?" ”

Zhu Xiuniang's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she hated Zhao Ta in her heart, how could she let her sing for her in front of these Kabuki priests? Then he said: "Lord Wang, this song is too bleak, there are many unlucky places, let's sing something else!" ”

Zhao Ta disagreed: "Xiuniang, how can you see it?" ”

Zhu Xiuniang said: "This poem is full of sorrow and farewell, which can make the beauty break her intestines and the hero is short of breath!" ”

Zhao Ta asked, "Does Xiuniang know the origin of this word?" ”

Zhu Xiuniang said: "I only recognize the word of Mr. Su, but I don't know what story this word writes?" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and said, "This word is still related to that false Taoism...... It's about science. ”

Zhu Xiuniang said angrily when she heard this: "What is the relationship between Master Su's words and science!" ”

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "What is written in this word is the matter of Chen Xiang, the former governor of Hangzhou, this person is also a master of science, doesn't Xiuniang know about this person?" ”

Zhu Xiuniang looked at Zhao Ta when she heard this, and her eyebrows were silent.

Zhao Ta haha: "Xiuniang listened to the king's way to know, the former prefect of Hangzhou Chen Xiang and the famous prostitute Yingchun got along, but Chen Xiang was transferred by order, when parting, Yingchun gave him a meal in the Huxin Pavilion, the two lingered, reluctantly, Su Shi took over as the prefect of Hangzhou, and wrote this poem to remember it, the king recited his words, traveled here, touched the scene, Xiuniang, this king thinks that you and I are the people in the word! With that, he sighed and shook his head again and again.

Zhu Xiuniang bit her lip and said, "Zhao ...... Why did the prince say this? ”

Zhao Ta sighed for a long time, and said: "Xiuniang has been studying and studying for many years, and she is hidden in the boudoir of the embroidery building, drawing and painting, depicting dragons and phoenixes, where can I know the major events in the world!"

"Huh?" Zhu Xiuniang sneered: "What is it that makes the prince sad?" Actually talking about the world! ”

Zhao Ta stretched out his hand and took Zhu Xiuniang into his arms, Zhu Xiuniang struggled a few times and didn't get out, and couldn't help but look at each other angrily.

Zhao Ta said: "The Liao country is eyeing the tiger, the Western Xia frequently knocks on the side, and there are bandits in various places, I can't say that once the king returns to Tokyo, he will be sent by the official family to the next place, and he will be separated from Xiuniang in a blink of an eye!" ”

Zhu Xiuniang said: "I heard that the Western Xia Kingdom is now frequently engaged in infighting, and the consumption is too much, where does it come from?" Northern Liao was attacked by the female direct, has lost part of the country, the country is in turmoil, and it is too busy to take care of itself, where is it eyeing it? As for ordinary thieves...... I'm afraid it won't be His Royal Highness the King of Qin's turn to kill it personally! ”

After she finished speaking, she struggled harder, but this time she left Zhao Ta and ran to sit down on the opposite side, making it difficult for Zhao Ta to reach.

When Zhao Ta heard this, he was slightly stunned, then he stretched his eyebrows and clapped his hands: "I didn't think that Xiuniang had some knowledge, who told you these things?" ”

Zhu Xiuniang where is willing to reply to him, just turned his head to look at the West Lake in a daze, only to see a group of smoke and water, blue waves spraying snow, white sails dotting, green water to the sky, the riverside on the six and the tower standing on the green bushes, connecting between the mountains and rivers, the charm of nature, the scenery is beautiful.

But her heart was full of bitterness at the moment, full of hatred, thinking that Zhao Ta would die in the battle next, she had thought that Zhao Ta would die in the land of Hangzhou before, but she didn't expect to take Hangzhou easily.

She also thought about doing it herself, but on weekdays, there were no iron tools in the room, not even a pair of scissors, and there were people watching outside, and Zhao Ta never stayed overnight, so she had no chance at all.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiuniang couldn't help but glance back at Zhao Ta, only to see that Zhao Ta was looking at her, she hurriedly turned her face, clenched her teeth, tried to calm down, and told her family that everything should be forbearance, and the gentleman would take revenge, ten years was not too late, and Zhao Ta could not let Zhao Ta see what she was thinking.

Zhao Ta smiled, he didn't know what Zhu Xiuniang thought, he must have hated him to death, and he couldn't wait for him to die on the battlefield.

He raised his glass and let the Maiko continue to sing and dance, and then drank and recited poems from time to time, full of emotion.

After another half an hour, Zhao Ta felt that he was exhausted, so he ordered someone to go home, and a group of people got back on the painting boat, played fine music, swept the water waves, went ashore from the willow waves, and got on the horse and entered the Qingbo Gate.

A few days later, the order of Hangzhou has been fully restored, and the major monasteries have begun to flourish again, and pilgrims from near and far come to the mountains for several miles.

Hangzhou's upper, middle and lower three Tianzhu Temples, the four major jungles of West Lake, Shengyin Temple, Lingyin Temple, Jingci Temple, Zhaoqing Temple, the incense is vigorous, good men and women rub their shoulders and rub their backs, and they have come to burn early summer incense.

Zhu Xiuniang sent someone to find Zhao Ta, saying that she would also go out of the house to offer incense and pray for her deceased relatives, Zhao Ta agreed without hesitation, and then sorted out the car and sedan horses, and went out all the way.

There are 18 Lingguan halls along the way from the ancient bridge of Hangzhou to Xiaohe Mountain, all of them are the places where women burn incense, see that little lady and young woman take the embroidered sedan chair brocade curtain, with the servant woman and maid, the head face is decorated with pearl emerald, bright Luo skirt, fight for glory and beauty, the ancient road is like a piece of colorful clouds to the ground.

Zhao Ta looked at it happily and said: "People say that Hangzhou Tengyun drives the fog and is a beautiful girl, and the jade leaf and golden branches are fair and fair, when I see it today, it is really so." ”

Zhu Xiuniang said in the sedan chair: "Lord, after burning incense, you take me to see the tide of the Qiantang River, I heard that when the tide comes, it is magnificent, swallowing the universe, and the wonders of the world." ”

Zhao Ta smiled: "There is no choice. “

Zhu Xiuniang said again: "Standing on the Moon Wheel Peak Liuhe Tower to see the tide is the most spectacular. ”

Zhao Ta agreed, and after the group went to the Lingyin Temple to burn incense, they went to Yuelun Mountain.

This moon wheel mountain, originally there was a heavenly pool, a temple, but at this time has become a ruin, only a Liuhe pagoda is left, built for Wu Yue Zhijue monk.

Six and the tower is high and nine levels, there are more than ten or twenty zhang, each floor has a corridor and a room, light and dark, can climb.

This month Lunshan Xuanhe three years had suffered a fire, the tower and the temple were damaged differently, the tower was rebuilt in the first year of Xuanhe, and the temple is still abandoned.

Zhao Ta took Zhu Xiuniang to climb the stairs, only to see the Buddha statue chiseled on the four walls of the tower, the most famous one is the statue of Wu Daozi Guanyin Yousheng, the brick carving Buddhist scriptures are all from the bottom to the top.

The two of them climbed all the way to the top of the nine-step peak, overlooking the Qiantang River, only to see the smoke waves, the sails of the ship are like white geese, looking down at the Qiantang River that is under the threshold, the people on the other side are about to fly, a gust of water wind "ho ho" blows, the cold air is biting, the bursts of fishy wet water are surging, and then a huge wave head, as if going straight to this tower.

Zhu Xiuniang was almost blown down by the huge water wind, and she was so shocked that she screamed softly, Zhao Ta reached out to support her on the side, Zhu Xiuniang stabilized her figure, didn't say a word, turned around and slowly went down the level.

The weather was good on this day, and it was lively everywhere, and the group went to the West Lake to charter a restaurant to eat and drink, and after three rounds and five flavors, Zhao Ta stood up and looked out the window with his hands.

I saw him close his eyes slightly, open them again for a moment, and then groaned:

Outside the mountain, Outside the mountain,

When will the West Lake sing and dance be closed?

The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk,

Straight Hangzhou as Bianzhou.

Zhu Xiuniang next to her was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes couldn't help but look at him in a daze......
