"What are you trying to do?"

"My son knows that you are loyal, that you have deep feelings for Your Majesty, and that Your Majesty treats you well."

"But, father, can you speak to the child? What the hell are you trying to do? ”

"The one who led the troops is the emperor, and the one who came back is not also the emperor? Speaking of which, this is all a family affair of his Zhao family, since it is a family matter, as a courtier, can it be clearly determined? ”

Liu Bang did not go directly to the imperial city, but went around to Changqingfang......

This is Xin Ciying's home.

The house he gave him was in the north of the city, this was his original house, and the Lin'an Mansion had a place to live, so in this Lin'an City, where every inch of land was valuable, Xin Ciying had some property.

There were still not many people in the street, and before he could knock on the door behind the courtyard wall, he heard the people inside.

said that people like to peep, and he was no exception, paused, and finally stopped his movements and listened quietly.

After waiting for a while, he didn't hear Xin Ciying speak, but the voice just now rang out again:

"You are selfless, you are for the country and the people, you are loyal, these are all true, when have children said one more word over the years?"

"But today, it was originally a matter of you opening your mouth and being soft, why did you want to hit the south wall? Why, it was today! ”

"Qiao Niang married into our family, and she didn't even have half a day of comfort, either taking care of housework at home, or taking your two grandchildren to study, what did she do wrong? Dad, the child doesn't understand, the child really doesn't understand! ”

The more this person talked, the more excited he became, and Liu Bang probably knew his identity, thinking that he was Xin Ciying's son.

I thought that this person was not a thing, but I thought that his wife had just been forced to die......

A group of guards who followed saw the official family shaking their heads in place, but they didn't know what His Majesty had heard.

Xin Ciying's voice finally sounded:

"It's Daddy, I'm sorry for you......"

The old man was obviously also emotional, and there was already a cry in his words.

"You asked too many questions, and my father didn't know how to answer, but as you said, the official family treats my father well, I ...... I can't! ”

His son was indignant: "Can't even be expedient?!" ”

The courtyard was quiet for a long time before the old man sighed.

"But, but it's okay, that's why it can't."

"You grew up reading sage books since you were a child, and most of the things in your mind came from sages, your father is not smarter than you, and your knowledge is not higher than yours, but my son, I still have something to say, if you can listen to it, if you can't listen, then think that your father is talking crazy......"

"When Kaifeng City was broken, Zhongyan Gong of the Liu family, the father of Liu Shangshu of the Military Department, obviously could go but did not go, and hung himself to observe the festival,"

"Duke Qingqing of the Li family, went north with the second emperor to reprimand Yan Wushu angrily...... He could live without speaking, but he still said it. ”

"For a thousand years, Zhuge Wuhou fought against Wei and Kyushu with a state...... My son, they are all capable people who are not born in the world, so they can't think of the word 'expediency'? ”

These two words are clearly the reasons that despicable people find for their own despicability, and they are clearly the way out that cowardly people find for themselves! How many heroes throughout the ages are just a sentence in the end......"

Liu Bang straightened his ears and listened to him:

"I know I can't do it, but I do it!"

The emperor understood a little at the moment, no wonder he rarely heard someone praise Liu Ji as a big hero.

It was difficult to convince his son of this, and even Liu Bang outside couldn't convince him, after all, His Majesty had always felt that expediency could be expedient, not to mention far away, the old man among the planters was an example.

"I see."

That is what he said, but then he went on to say:

"Erlang came to Lingnan with a letter, saying that he was living comfortably over there, and he had been inviting his son over...... My son has never agreed, and now he ......"

Xin Ciying was a little panicked: "What's going on now?" ”

"Now, after Qiaoniang's funeral, my son will go to find him, you have to be your hero, your son won't stop you, and you won't stop your son."

Xin Ciying's wife died early, and she did not take a concubine, so she only gave birth to two sons in total.

The second one inherited the style of his youth, liked to die everywhere, and only recently settled down in Lingnan.

The one who accompanied him in Lin'an City was the boss of the Xin family, a few years ago, Qin Xiangye was in power, and Xin Ciying's life was not very good, and he himself was the one who was most opposed to the minister's son Yin making up an official, and Han Shizhong's son made up a Jilu official, but he forcibly stopped him.

Not to mention his son, who is forty years old and now white.

"Daddy got it......"

Xin Ciying seemed to be out of strength: "Tomorrow, my father will go to the ministry to hand in his resignation and go with you." ”

As soon as these words came out, his son didn't have time to say anything, but Liu Bang didn't do it.

Supporting the courtyard walls on both sides with both hands and feet, he climbed over the wall in a few clicks, so frightened that a group of guards hurriedly ran over and stretched out their hands to follow below.

"Daddy...... Why are you bothered? The Lingnan Mountain is high and the road is far away, you are so old, how can you withstand such a toss! ”

"You'd better not go."

Liu Bang was agile, and he turned over in two or three clicks, and saw the father and son of the Xin family sitting under the tree in the courtyard, and his son was still holding a woman in his arms...... It should be a female corpse, and I think this is his daughter-in-law.

"Your son is right, old boy, you just want to slip away without asking Lao Tzu, right?"

He was so unserious, the boss of the Xin family didn't know this yet, he didn't react for a while, and thought that this was Wang Xie's person again, and he wanted to step forward to scold, but when he saw his father with his back to the wall, the whole person began to tremble.

The old man lowered his head and didn't say a word, and the grievances he had received these days came to his heart like a tide, and he was almost out of breath.

Liu Bang was already sitting on the courtyard wall of his house, and he knew that the old man was sad...... Just like a child, if he falls and no one pays attention to him, he can get up on his own; If you notice that someone notices you, you will start crying.

Xin Ciying is now the child who is about to cry.

"Hey, I said, are you a little out of line? When you see Lao Tzu, you use your back to hold it, right? ”

Seeing that the old man still didn't speak, he didn't dare to jump the wall that was more than a foot high, so he had to slowly put his body down, pull his hands on the wall, and look at the position, before he fell down.

The boss of the Xin family put the body of his daughter-in-law to the side, and he wanted to rush over with a flick of his sleeve, but he only took two steps out before Xin Ciying's wrist was grabbed and couldn't move.

"Daddy?!"

Liu Bang saw it in his eyes, and while remembering the old man's resentful posture, and preparing to make fun of him in the future, he also touched the tree and patted him on the shoulder:

"I'm back."

Boss Xin heard it clearly and knew that this was Zhao Guan's family, and for a while, his father's grievances were transferred to most of him, and he also looked sour and red-eyed.

Xin Ciying let go of his son and covered his ears with his hands.

Liu Bang only thought it was funny, the old thing was still playing tricks, so he turned to him, and when he saw the old man's eyes that were about to cry, he immediately closed them...... Instead, he forced down the tears that he wanted to shed.

"If you pretend not to see or hear, you can pretend that Lao Tzu doesn't exist, right?"

"Your official is too young, I will give you a big one this time."

"Your son shouldn't go to Lingnan anymore, is that a place for the fuck? I gave him an errand. ”

"Your daughter-in-law, a county lady, your grandson, will accompany my son to study together in the future, your father, posthumously confer on him, your ancestral grave ......"

It's almost said that Xin Ciying's family is only fed because of the dog, and this person still doesn't eat oil and salt.

Liu Bang finally sighed:

"That's it, whoever bullied you, just say it, Lao Tzu will take revenge on you."

Xin Ciying finally put down his hands that were covering his ears, and his eyes opened...... In order to be angry with themselves, the former official family kicked the family of the prefect of Mingzhou into the sea, which made this generous old man become so calculating.

In fact, people's words don't like generosity very much, but there is a difference between having a choice and not having a choice.

He has a choice, so he is generous!

"Official ......"

The breath he was holding was relieved, and it was like the Huai River flooding out of control, and he began to cry on the emperor's chest, and after a while, Liu Bang's robe was mostly wet.

"Wang Xie, right, one hundred and seven slaps, right?"

Xin Ciying wiped his eyes: "One hundred and fifteen, today's Qiao Niang...... When the accident happened, eight more were hit. ”

"Good, good!" Liu Bang agreed again and again, "My original plan was to wait for tomorrow when I went to court to clean them up, but if that king has something, as long as you want, I will help you get this breath out now, how about it?" ”

Xin Ciying looked at his son: "Da Lang, you are in charge!" ”

The boss of the Xin family had never felt this kind of ...... This feeling of holding other people's lives in his own hands, he gave birth to some inexplicable emotions.

That Wang Xie, the invincible Wang Xie, bullied his family to the point that he couldn't breathe, and in the eyes of the people of Lin'an, he was like a demon collecting debts...... In the emperor's mouth, it is indistinguishable from an ant.

As long as you think about it, even when that person suffers, it is already doomed.

I don't know why, Shicai's many complaints about his father's father turned into a trace of happiness at this moment.

A hint of reverence and fear.

The boss of the Xin family looked at the corpse lying on the ground, there was just some hay underneath, and he was thinking about whether to test it, but he was mistaken by his father for not daring to speak.

Xin Ciying urged: "Qiao Niang died for the official family, you just say it!" ”

Liu Bang wanted to remind this old man, but after thinking about it, forget it, he can talk as much as he likes, but he just echoed:

"What do you say about your father? Whether it's today, tomorrow, now, or night, whether it's spring, or summer, big man, don't ask for a mother-in-law. ”

The real bitter took the initiative to move his mouth, turned around and squatted down, and stroked his daughter-in-law's face again......

"If you can, the villain can't wait to let the thief die right away!"

"Good!"

Liu Bang didn't know when he took out the folding fan on his waist, and at this time he snapped it, which was regarded as recognizing his statement.

Only Xin Ciying stared at the fan for a long time, and finally recognized it as the king of Yongjia, and the whole person began to get excited again.

……

As I said before, Wang Xie's resume is almost the same as that of Taiwei Zhang, but to some extent, he is more compliant than Taiwei Zhang.

At least during the Jingkang period, when the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan succeeded to the throne, it was like this.

When Zhao Huan just succeeded to the throne, he became the commander of the front army of the imperial camp, which is almost the current position of Yang Yizhong.

At that time, Taiwei Zhang was just a pawn in the family army.

In the early years of Shaoxing, Zhao Ding and the emperor reformed the military system, and he also became the five generals of the Shenwu Army with the same name as Liu, Zhang, Han, and Yue.

But it's not bad now, at least he still has soldiers in his hands, there are not many of them, but they are enough.

The most important thing is that his own lord, who personally promoted him to the lord of the center of the Great Song Dynasty, actually came back from the north.

The way of the world is changing all the time, maybe someone was a beggar yesterday, and that day he met someone and threw five taels of silver, and then became a rich man.

Wang Xie is not a beggar, he is also a general of the army.

After this time, even if Zhao Huan becomes the emperor, according to Wang Xie's understanding of the ninth child of the Zhao family, he can still live.

Not only can they live, but they can live well...... There is only one kind of person that the emperor will want to get rid of, and that is the waste; Whether it is a good value or a bad value, as long as it is a valuable person, Lao Jiu will keep it.

But he is indeed old, so old that his brain can't turn around, and he doesn't even have enough energy.

It's still the first month, and Lin'an has stopped the snow for many days, but it's still very cold, and what his legs are most afraid of is this kind of weather, because at this time, it will be very painful.

He was supposed to rest, but in the room prepared for the guards in the imperial city, he could still scald a pot of wine and hugged two women.

But he didn't, because he had other things to do.

Zhao Shicheng and the people of the Jin country both said that Zhao Gou was surrounded by the Jin people in Yingzhou, but the news had already come back, and Yingzhou had already been broken through many days ago.

This means that Zhao Gou is fine, and it is very likely that he is fine.

In that case, it was only a matter of time before he returned.

You said that Zhao Huan was not panicking, that was false, otherwise, he would not have rushed to visit the homes of those generals at this time.

But if you're going to say what they can really do...... Not much, actually.

Wooing the ministers in the court is one of them.

They don't need to do anything, as long as they open their mouths and recognize the legitimacy and rationality of the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan, no matter how unkind Lao Jiu is, he should know that his brother's death is not very good for him, and even everyone will suspect that it was his hand.

And...... For such a big crime of killing his brother, even if he is the emperor, he can't afford it.

Coupled with the old ministers of the emperor in Zhao Huan for more than a year, and the Zhao family of the Zhao family's Taizong, these things add up, although they are not as Zen as the Queen Mother said, but it is okay to live freely.

This is Zhao Huan's purpose, and it is also Wang Xie's pursuit.

Therefore, when the old man with the most smelly mouth and hard bones in the court also softened, the meaning of this is much stronger than pulling a person like ten kings.

Wang Xie didn't dare to slack off, knowing that the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan was now going to the mansion of several generals, and that Xin Ciying handed the letter to him again, no matter how he said it, he also wanted to meet him.

It was true that he had gone too far before, but if he didn't, how could the old man be so soft?

When he was about to leave the palace, Wang Xie thought about it, and went to the palace office, but before he arrived, he heard a commotion inside.

"The money is not enough, last year's taxes are not over this year, why save the expenses of the Northern Expeditionary Army?!"

It was Hu Quan who said this, he was the third envoy, and this position was originally to divide the financial power of the prime minister, but now, Zhang Jun has just arrived, so he has made such a request.

I heard Zhang Jun say again: "Those who have no foresight must have near-term worries!" It's enough now, but you can't spend all the money on the Northern Expeditionary Army, right? ”

"If there is a natural or man-made disaster and you can't get the money, then the loss will not be something that the money can settle down!"

"Moreover, the road to the north into the sea is no longer passable, and the business of many merchants in the south of the Yangtze River has been cut off by half, so it is still unknown how much tax the city can collect this year, if you don't plan early, how far can the Northern Expeditionary Army go?"

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift; Zhang Jun also led soldiers, so it is impossible not to know the consequences of releasing this news.

But he still did it, and Hu Quan was unhappy:

"If you conquer one county, you will have more taxes for one county, and if you conquer one state, you will have more taxes, but you have no far-sightedness!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Ding, who was silent, and knew that this person had now voted for Zhao Huan, so he hummed:

"Anyway, if you want to reduce the degree, the first one won't agree!"

Throwing down this sentence, he waved his sleeves and stepped out of the door, just in time to collide with Wang Xie.

Wang Xie went into the office and said in a voice that everyone could hear:

"Zhang Xianggong, that Xinfu Yin of Lin'an Mansion invited the officials to his house to eat wine! We've been out there for a long time, and we don't know if we're making friends with him in private, but can't we? ”

This voice was very loud, and it was deliberately said to those people.

Sure enough, when Liu Ziyu heard this, he suddenly felt as if his soul had been drained......

If even Xin Ciying is like this, how sad the official family should be when he comes back!

Zhang Jun knew what he meant, and stroked his beard and said:

"Marshal Wang is too worried, Xin Fu Yin, and the direct ministers are also! I think it was because he was overwhelmed by the marshal's demeanor, and then he had the intention of making friends. ”

"The marshal goes, don't worry about anything else."

Wang Xie smiled and said: "Then listen to the words of the prime minister, and the next official will go." ”

There are still a lot of people in this office, and many of them have the same feeling as Liu Ziyu.

But then again, even Xin Ciying voted, and these people finally had no reason to insist.

There were several people who had other thoughts.

Wang Xie had just stepped out of his leg when he heard someone shouting:

"Slow!"

When he turned around, it was Zhao Ding who stood up, and he didn't understand what he meant:

"Zhao Xianggong has something to do?"

"I'm going with you."

Wang Xie paused, subconsciously glanced at Zhang Jun, and when he saw that he nodded slightly, he agreed:

"That's very good, I already have a lot of things to say to Zhao Xiang!"

When Zhao Ding and him went out together, several people stood up in the office, ran to Zhang Jun's side, and began to offer their words.

On the other hand, Zhao Ding and Wang Xie were each riding on horses, and Wang Xie knew that this was the first person to take refuge in the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan, and he was not so wary of him.

kept talking to this Zhao Xiangye, trying to make the atmosphere warmer.

But Zhao Ding seemed to be a different person, ignoring his enthusiasm, which made Marshal Wang, who had been smooth sailing since he arrived in Lin'an, feel a little deflated for the first time.

No one likes to use a hot face to stick to people's cold buttocks, Wang Xie snorted coldly, and then stopped caring about this person.

You still put the score, you put your mother's score!

Everyone is a chaotic minister and a thief, what kind of peerless loyal minister are you kid pretending!

When he could already see the archway of Changqingfang, Zhao Ding opened his mouth for the first time.

"Do you know what crime you've committed?"

There was no one on the street, and he used to speak quietly...... Only by whispering can others listen attentively and understand.

Wang Xie understood what he heard and looked at this person a little strangely......

He understood every word, but when it was connected, he didn't understand what it meant.

Fortunately, Zhao Ding seems to have opened the basket:

"The Tang Dynasty died in the feudal town, Emperor Taizu learned from this experience, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of financial resources every year, and only then did he restrain your group of warriors by using the method of strong and weak branches."

Wang Xie only felt that he was chanting the scriptures, and felt that this person was definitely not saying anything good.

"If you don't understand, it's okay, if you're incompetent, it's okay."

"But you think you have hugged the big tree, pampered and arrogant, arrogant and domineering, since the fifth year of Chongning, I have been an official for thirty-six years, except for the time when the Jin people went south, I have never seen any city is such a scene in Lin'an today."

"And it's all thanks to you."

"Do you really think you're fine?"

"Do you really think that there is anyone in this world who can protect you except Your Majesty?"

"You're wrong Wang Xie, you're wrong!"

No matter how stupid Marshal Wang was, it was impossible not to understand these words.

But he still doesn't understand, why at this time, Zhao Ding has been following his side for so long, and he is not a human being inside and out, but he remembered to say cruel things to himself.

Either learn from Hu Quan, or learn from Wang Ciweng, on the left for a while and on the right for a while, what is the reason? !

"Zhao Xiangye, don't scare the official, if the official is afraid of being frightened, he won't come here to Lin'an."

"We are a martial artist, unlike you, who know so much about family and country affairs, and only know how to follow Your Majesty's path, whether it is a big Majesty or a small Majesty, isn't it Your Majesty!"

"If something happens ......to the people who follow His Majesty," Wang Xie smiled, "Do you think it's possible?" ”

Zhao Ding looked ahead: "Fifty steps ahead is his house, you still have fifty steps to go, Wang Xie." ”

"What?"

"You can think about how you died."

At this moment, Marshal Wang couldn't hold back any longer, endured and endured, and still laughed.

How to die?

Who will let themselves die?

Is it you, the powerless old man, or Xin Ciying, the powerless old man, or the Nine Emperors who don't know where?

This Lin'an city gate is in his own hands, if someone comes, can he still not know?

But now I just don't know, what does this mean?

It shows that this Zhao Xiangye has lost his mind, and he is indeed scaring himself!

"The official family said that cutting off the head with a knife is the easiest way to die, it is not pleasant, and it can't torture people."

Wang Xie agreed: "That's true. ”

"If it's Ling Chi, it's too slow, not every time is appropriate."

"I didn't expect the official family to have such insight."

"Dig out your heart and lungs, and you will die quickly."

Marshal Wang couldn't hold back a little: "Then what kind of death do you say?" ”

Zhao Dingle dismounted, they had already arrived.

"There is no one in the world who is not afraid of death, and most of them say that they are not afraid because they do not know death...... Therefore, the official said that death is not terrible, but what is terrible is knowing the horror that death brings. ”

"Zhao Xiangmo wants to say some tongue twisters!"

"Cut off their hands and feet, gouge out their eyes, poison their ears, pour dumb medicine on them, and make them ...... in the toilet"

Even if Wang Xie is a soldier who has long been accustomed to seeing corpses, he can't help but sweat a little after hearing such a description.

Even if it's a golden man...... There is no such murder.

He watched Zhao Ding buckle the door, and he forced a smile on his face:

Zhao Xiang...... What is this statement, how have I never heard it? ”

The door was soon opened, and Zhao Ding was the first to step in, and when he did, he looked back at him:

"That's called a human being."
