Some people are old, the old is the body, but also the heart, such people look like half a dead wood at a glance, close to each other, and even can smell the 'old' smell on their bodies.

There are also people who are old, just old, and it is easy to ignore their age when staying with them, such people are also dead wood, but at a glance, what they see are flowers blooming on the dead wood.

It's easy to tell the two apart and look at them in the eye...... Whether it is chaotic or clear, you can probably tell which kind of 'old' they belong to.

The woman who came in at the back foot of Empress Dowager Wei was obviously very stiff, and her whole skin was wrinkled, as if she had turned over a book by a hard-working student, but only her eyes were very bright.

Liu Bang looked at the past, and he could no longer forget the eyes of this old woman, he was a human being in two lives, and he didn't know how many people he had seen, but he could be like this old woman, but it was also rare.

I noticed that the group of ministers were either relieved or a little agitated when this one came in...... Especially Zhao Huan and the Queen Mother, they seemed to be shocked, and they no longer felt panicked.

All these things made Liu Bang a little curious about her.

"If a person survives in the world, who can leave his siblings......"

She walked straight towards her, and when she got closer, she didn't even say hello, let alone salute, and directly helped Zhao Huan, who was sitting on the ground, up.

"Between brothers, where is there a hurdle that cannot be passed, even if there is a conflict, then it should be closed and talked about, and it looks like this, not to let people see the joke of heaven."

"When I was in Tokyo, your father gave birth to so many sons, only the eldest brother and the ninth brother are the most capable, the eldest is the beginning of the number, the old nine you are the most numerous, they are all dragons and dragons, they are all heroes, and they are all descendants of the Zhao family, even if your eldest brother is not in every way, it is also your eldest brother."

She spoke smoothly, and her speech was clear and tight, and she saw Zhao Huan, a middle-aged man, making a child-like gesture in front of this person, as if a child who had been greatly wronged had finally found an adult to rely on.

As soon as Liu Bang let go of his hand, the dragon head was no one to support, and immediately fell together, making a loud 'bell' sound, which echoed in the lobby.

He didn't speak, he called Lu Zai twice, the old man had already known about this side from the mouth of the forbidden army, but he was worried that the emperor had arranged him in the Plum Blossom Hall, and he didn't dare to leave his post without permission, but his heart was itching, and now the emperor called his name, he hurriedly pushed the work in his hand to Lu You, and he ran over happily.

As soon as he came, he saw the Zhao family members standing in front of the lobby, and the old man was a little stunned, so he first bowed to the woman.

"But it alarmed you......"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged to his side by Liu Bang by the collar, and he asked in a low voice:

"Is this your mother?"

Lu Zai was stunned: "The official family ...... What is this saying? ”

"It's not that your mother has arrived, you don't even recognize your father and me."

Only then did the housekeeper realize that the official was scolding himself, and thinking that it was the rule set by the emperor himself to salute this first, his face twitched:

"You can't even forget about this, do you?"

"Tell me."

Come on, Lu Zai cleared his throat and replied:

"This is the eldest princess of Qinlu Kingdom, the tenth daughter of Emperor Renzong."

Liu Bang calculated upwards that the three sons of Emperor Zhao Zhen of Renzong all died early, so he succeeded Zhao Shulai from the line of King Shang, that is, Emperor Yingzong of the Song State.

This old woman is the same generation as Yingzong according to her generation, and Yingzong is the grandfather of Zhao Ji of Huizong, so counted...... The old wife is four generations older than herself.

It's really a long life, and it's no wonder that everyone will have such an expression when they see her.

But if it's just a seniority......

The people standing here, one counts as one, they are not stupid, if they pay attention to those things, the queen mother should stop when she comes forward, they should not be simple, think that this old woman can really turn over some waves, right?

After thinking about it, Liu Bang stared at Zhao Huan, who was about to shrink into the arms of the old princess, who was like a cat that had been beaten, and his hair exploded, neither daring to look at Liu Bang, nor daring to take a step forward.

"If you kill someone, you have to pay for your life, and the emperor's relatives and relatives are the same, everyone should know this in their hearts."

"Although this person is my eldest brother, he has committed this article, even if I can't bear it in every way, I have to correct the Fa so that I can give an explanation to the people."

"Otherwise...... Isn't this a break in the rules, a break in the way of heaven? ”

As he spoke, he wanted to grab Zhao Huan's hair again, but was blocked by the old princess who stood one step forward.

If this old woman is not surprised in her heart, it is definitely fake, she was in a carriage with this Zhao Guan's family to the south, and her son was also killed by robbers on the way to escort him, just these various personal affairs, he has never broken his face, not to mention, he is so many years older than him.

In the past, as soon as they met, this person would salute him, but today not only did he not have it, but his eyes were full of disdain and contempt...... She has lived eighty times out of eighty, and whether a person is cold or hot can still be distinguished after all.

Even the deity thinks so, not to mention other people, most of the officials standing in this hall are called to the court by the Zhao official family from the state and county in person, and most of them regard themselves as the descendants of the official family.

There are many people who are sighing, did they really follow a mess?

The old princess stared at the emperor for a long time, and finally spit out:

"Does the official really want to do this?"

"Seriously!"

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

"Nope!"

The old woman sighed softly: "So, I thought about it a little more. ”

"When Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty wanted to make Liu Ruyi the crown prince, but he couldn't, he finally wrote a song and said: 'The bird flies high, and it is a thousand miles in one fell swoop. Yu Xi has been completed, across the four seas. ’”

"Now that the official family is a full-fledged and high-flying bird, you are the king of the world, and you should do the things of the world, so naturally you don't need us old people."

"In this way, the official family will take my life as well."

As soon as the old princess said this, everyone clearly saw that the emperor's face was red and white, and those who didn't know thought that he had changed his mind and was ashamed of the old princess's words.

Only Liu Bang himself knew that he was provoked by the words of this old woman, and remembered some unpleasant things.

"Are you threatening me?"

The old woman didn't answer, but stood firmly in front of Zhao Huan and made her position clear.

Liu Bang didn't have much affection for her, and he was indeed murderous at this time, so he just heard him say:

"The Protector should be the ......"

"Official!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ding and Xin Ciying shouted at the same time, and after a while, several central ministers all gathered around him.

"The princess came forward, this matter is over, and the official family should not say anything else."

Zhao Ding has never persuaded the emperor, but at this time, he can't help but stand up...... If the Zhao official family is really nonsense...... Yes, in the eyes of this Zhao Xiangye, killing his brother is not Hu Lai, nor is he disobedient to his mother, but when it comes to this old princess, it is Hu Lai.

If he continues like this, the consequences will probably be much more serious than killing ten Filial Piety Yuan Holy Emperors.

Xin Ciying and Hu Quan, Liu Ziyu and Su Fu, plus Lu Zai next to him, and even Wan Qiao, who has never liked to cause trouble, and many, many other people, all began to persuade each other at this time.

The attitude of these people is ten, a hundred times stronger than that of Shicai!

Liu Bang was a little confused......

The national conditions of the Great Song Dynasty, the doorway here, are beyond the scope of his empirical understanding; A woman like this is more worthy of protection than an emperor.

What is the rationale for this?

After a pause, he stopped all these people:

"You good sons, you are really filial, and you are saying goodbye to your mother!"

The emperor scolded like this, but everyone couldn't even get angry, because the princess's seniority was there, and the official family scolded herself.

"Get out of here...... Zhao Ding, tell me about it. ”

Everyone put their hopes on Zhao Xiangye again, and they all scattered to the side, all looking at the two of them with an earnest face.

"Official ......"

"Why are you stopping Lao Tzu?"

Zhao Ding looked around, took the emperor aside, and after being a little away from everyone, he introduced the eldest princess and what was behind her in detail in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

It turned out that this person who married back then was Qian Jingzhen, the young master of the former dynasty and the king of Huiji County.

The old princess is not terrible, and the dead Qian Jingzhen is not terrible, but the Qian family must be feared.

This is the vein of Qian Biao, the monarch of Wuyue, who has been closely related to the Zhao family since his last monarch Qian Yu returned to the Song Dynasty...... Among the kings of the dead country in Zhao Dazhao's second-hand, only the Qian family has the best life, and his generations are honorably favored, and there are countless people who have married the Zhao family, no matter when, he has never had two hearts.

If the Tudan family is the first family with a foreign surname in Jin, then the Qian family should be the first family with a foreign surname in the Great Song Dynasty...... Back then, someone wrote "Hundred Family Names", and the one ranked behind the word Zhao was this money word.

Since the beginning of the Qin and Han dynasties, the Qian family has made a fortune in Huainan, and when it came to Wuyue Qian Biao, the descendants of the Qian family were scattered in the southeast of the Yangtze River, from Linlianghuai to two folds, from Fujian to Guangnan, there are descendants of the Qian family everywhere.

With this connection, coupled with several generations of operations in the south, as well as the unprecedented maritime trade of the Great Song Dynasty, the Qian family has already accumulated a mountain of wealth...... Take the emperor Nandu as an example, if it weren't for the Qian family's efforts and boats, then when Kaifeng City was broken, the Great Song Dynasty could already be regarded as dead.

Although the society has stabilized a little later, the role of the Qian family is still playing, half of the ships of the Song Kingdom are in the hands of the Qian family, and the annual taxes paid by the people alone are enough to raise the hundreds of thousands of military horses in the two Huai.

And this Lin'an City...... Qian Biao put this from a small city, built into a prosperous house, beautiful rivers and mountains, lakes and seas, comparable to the former Chang'an Luoyang, for the world's rare big city, although the king of Wuyue exhausted the wealth of the entire Wuyue land, even he himself said, "thousands of years later, those who know me will use this city, and those who sin against me will also use this city", but it is the predecessors who suffer, and the descendants who enjoy it...... In the surrounding counties of Lin'an, which of these natives in the south doesn't think about the good of the Qian family?

All these things here are the confidence of this old princess, and they are also the reason why Zhao Ding must not let the emperor mess around.

It doesn't matter if you kill Zhao Huan, but if the relationship with the Qian family breaks down...... No one can afford the consequences, at least the current emperor, the current Great Song Kingdom, can't afford it.

Zhao Ding has already made his words quite clear, and he didn't even leave any room for the emperor, this is not a choice between killing or not killing, Zhao Guan's family has and only one choice.

It's just a stop.

Zhao Xiangye believes in his own emperor, believes that he is a person who can distinguish the importance clearly, and has laid out the details of the old princess, how to care...... That's the matter of Zhao Guan's family.

He stepped aside, looking at the inquiring meaning on everyone's faces, Zhao Xiangye nodded lightly, so that everyone's heart could be regarded as completely put back.

Everyone just looked at the official family, and he was still standing in place, with his head down, as if he was making an extremely difficult choice.

Also, since Liu Bang became the emperor of the Song Kingdom, most of the time it has been smooth sailing, killing whoever he wants, sleeping with whoever he wants, and never having anything to change his mind.

Now, facing the Qian clan in Zhao Ding's mouth, he really felt the pressure...... is as strong as the first emperor, and he has not killed all the nobles of the six countries, and he is as strong as himself, and he has to consider the interests of many parties in many cases.

Qian Jia......

He took a deep breath, looked back at Wang Xiaoer who was bent over in the lobby, and the faces of Ji Wu and the old Wang Tou kept flashing in his mind, and finally, the song sounded in his ears, the song "Honghu Song" written by him himself, the old woman only said the first two sentences, and now in his ears, the next two sentences kept ringing.

"Across the world, what can I do?"

"Although there is a forgiveness, what Shang An has done?"

Even if you have a sharp arrow, what can you do with it, and what can you do with it?!

One of his hands was already clenched, his knuckles were pinched white, and after a few more moments, he finally made a decision.

Everyone saw that Zhao Guanjia walked in front of the old princess, pulled her wrist, and said with a smile:

"What you said is that I was abrupt, I didn't think about it, and I was carried away for a while, but fortunately you came in time and woke me up, so I didn't make a big mistake."

The old princess's eyes, which were already bright, are now brighter and brighter, she gently pulled out a hand, and gently patted the back of the emperor's hand:

"The prodigal son turned back and the gold was not exchanged, he could still become a Buddha after putting down the butcher's knife, and the ninth brother woke up early, which is a fortunate thing for the Zhao family and the Great Song Dynasty."

"It's that I'm a little less polite when I speak, so don't blame me for Brother Jiu'er."

"Thank you too late, where can you talk about blaming ......"

Liu Bang smiled very warmly, if someone who didn't know what was going on in front of him saw this scene, he would have to say it as a warm family.

Seeing that the emperor had been with her for a while, he asked her how she ate, and how she slept for a while...... For example, Xin Ciying, although she is old, in front of her, she is more than thirty years younger than her, she is a serious fifty-year-old young man, and she is indeed a young offspring, and it is so coincidental that one has a dead husband and one has a dead daughter-in-law.

When Xin Fu Yin saw the emperor staring at him, his scalp immediately went numb, and he felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know what was going on.

"What about this big brother......"

After all, the old princess is a nobleman, and she is still a nobleman who has lived to be almost a hundred years younger, from Fan Zhongyan to Qin Hui, who has never met anyone, who has never seen anything, but her brain is very clear.

The reason why the emperor wanted to put his eldest brother to death was that it was the emperor's heart to say that it sounded good, and that it was too small to tolerate people...... No matter how much he said it, he had spent so many years in the north, and no matter how wrong it was, it was not a reason to take his life.

Therefore, she said to Liu Bang:

"The country does not tolerate two masters, I know about this matter, and the eldest brother also knows, but he has always been an elegant character, and it is a great fortune to be able to come back alive this time, where do you dare to think about anything else."

"In this way, it is better to let him follow me to Linhai and recite Buddhist scriptures every day, so as to pray for the blessings of the ninth brother and the people of the Great Song Dynasty."

Speaking of Buddhist scriptures...... There is a Tang Dynasty poem that says, 'Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty', this number is no longer an imaginary number, and even all over the south of the Yangtze River is added up, this number is only a lot more.

A day's incense money, which is not through the account books and only taxes, is already an astonishing amount, and most of it still belongs to the Qian family.

There is no way, the land where the temple was built is basically all owned by the Qian family, and the Qian family does not pump some water, which is abnormal.

Liu Bang looked down at Zhao Huan, where did the latter still have the courage to look at him, but he just tilted his head to the side, he wanted to say some dirty words, but he endured it after all.

He made such a big battle today, not only did he not exhale, but if he just counted it, he would undoubtedly lose a lot of face in front of the people.

But...... To be honest, he has experienced more grievances than this, knowing that people have to lick their faces to accompany wine and dinner if they want to kill him, although he is the emperor, many things don't have to be endured anymore.

But if you really have to endure it, it's not impossible.

"Since you have opened your mouth, I will naturally do everything, but I also have one more thing that I need your help with."

The old princess smiled with a smile in her eyes: "The official family is asking for help, and the Qian family and I are all willing to do it." ”

"Well," Liu Bang nodded, "The Northern Expedition is a national policy, and there is no possibility of peace between the Song and Jin countries, but you also know that this war is about money, and as soon as the divine arm bow is sent out, a hundred dollars will be missing." ”

"To tell you the truth, the first thing I do when I open my eyes every day is to think about how much money I have left, and the first thing I do when I close my eyes is also to think about how much money I spent today."

"Thinking about it, people are much haggard."

From the moment he opened his mouth, the old princess had actually guessed his thoughts, and since the Northern Expedition, the Qian family has indeed not had any blood.

But for her sons, the emperor's Northern Expedition, the Qian family has already produced the greatest blood.

After all, no one is more affected than their ships, and no one is more affected than them.

What should come is always coming, and if money can solve it, then it is not a big deal.

The old princess bowed slightly:

"This is a matter of division, when King Wu Yue left ten precepts to govern the family, there was a saying that 'Mo loves money, no Tu'an', the Qian family accumulated, all because of the income of the Great Song Dynasty, the official family wanted, as much as they wanted."

She was so generous, but it made Liu Bang a little embarrassed:

"It doesn't take much, just give you 18 million silver."

Although the old princess was old, when she heard this, the skin and flesh on her face seemed to have regained her vitality.

Started to get twitching.

Ten million taels of silver, that is a million taels of gold.

No matter how rich the Qian family is, if it really follows the emperor's words, then he has to beg for food.

What kind of concept is this, let's put it this way, 10,000 yuan is equal to 10 taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver can buy a beautiful girl to serve you tea and water, and can also give birth to a son for you.

This money is enough to buy a million pretty beauties.

If they are allowed to put on armor and kill the enemy, they will be tired and exhausted.

She choked for a moment before she spoke:

"Brother Jiu'er is really joking...... Eighteen million taels of silver have to go to the God of Wealth...... In this way, 100,000 taels of silver, I can still do the Lord's money. ”

"It's a deal!"

Liu Bang is not a person who does not eat minced meat, and of course he knows what this money means.

The 10 million taels of silver were originally offered for her to bargain, although it had to be a little outrageous, but who made him shout even more outrageous.

Zhao Huan, who was listening, saw that Lao Jiu was finally relieved, and his life was finally saved, and he was full of emotion in his heart for a while, and the tears that were originally scared back flowed out again.

When Liu Bang saw it, he was not bored in his heart, but he still held his hand and said:

"You look like this, people who don't know still think that I have done something to you."

"Your Majesty......"

"Here, give me a smile."

Zhao Huan hurriedly wiped away his tears, and finally squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Not enough, not festive enough."

Liu Bang shook his head, and Zhao Huan quickly opened his mouth wide, revealing his two rows of teeth, and kept making a 'clucking' sound, like a hen laying eggs.

"It's still not enough, it seems that you can't be happy in your heart, and your smile is fake."

The old princess couldn't bear Zhao Huan's appearance, and wanted to persuade her, but she heard the emperor say:

"Well, let's see something fun."

Everyone didn't understand what he meant, but they saw him call Wang Qi over and whisper a few words, and the latter went in a hurry.

"The platform is all set up, just forget it, how can you be worthy of all the interested officials?"

Zhao Huan kept saying that he was the ninth brother who was attached to him, and after a while, Wang Qi took the lead, and a group of people arrived in this mansion.

Everyone has a human head in their hands, and they come from left to right, and it happens to be one.

And the one in the middle, whose head is still connected to his body, inevitably looks much more abrupt among these heads.

"Zhao Shicheng!"

It's not the king of Yongjia, who is it!

Tang Hong's worst fear still happened, and the Zhao official family really wouldn't let go of that person...... Also, how can such a big crime of treason be said to be in the past!

Just thinking of his daughter, he was also panicked for a while.

Fortunately, he was seen by Lu Zai, and the old man whispered a few words in his ear, this Tang Shaoqing blushed for a while and turned pale for a while, but finally settled down.

Similarly, the old princess lived a long time and had a deep friendship with the old people of the Zhao family, Zhao Shicheng is the son of King Yi, and he is a generation older than the two emperors here.

is staying in Liangzhe, he walks with himself quite frequently, and shouts 'aunt' on weekdays, and he is a filial person after all.

He didn't study well and embarked on the road of rebellion.

Although the old princess couldn't bear it in her heart, she also knew that the emperor had already retreated a lot, and opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything after all.

She didn't say anything, but Zhao Shicheng recognized her clearly, and also knew where her energy was, and he had been with the heads of his ten brothers for a day and a night, and he was already on the verge of collapse.

At this time, there was life, and he was not willing to let go at all, and shouted loudly:

"My aunt save me, my aunt save me!"

"Shi Cheng is guilty, auntie, aunt!"

"My brothers have been killed, enough to repay Shi Cheng's sins, my aunt saved me~"

After all, she was a junior, and this cry for help made her inevitably think of the old man back then, the old princess sighed, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the emperor again.

"You'll have to think about it, do you still have that much money?"

"100,000 taels of silver ......"

She just thought about it, gritted her teeth, and moved her private money, but it was not that she couldn't get it, but she heard the emperor say:

"No, no, no, his head, a million taels...... No two prices. ”

At this moment, her mouth was completely blocked.

Liu Bang sneered and said loudly:

"Everyone already knows what this man has done, so I won't say more."

"Whatever you do, you have to bear the consequences, this truth is also understood by everyone."

"If you can't see what you want to see today, let's see what happens to this person, and it's worth the trip."

As he spoke, he nodded to Wang Qi, and Yaksha understood and pulled the dog's head over, but instead of him, he asked the two of them to stuff his legs into him as they had discussed before.

Then, he looked at the king of Yongjia with a greedy face, and let him scream and beg for mercy...... The louder she was, the more excited Wang Qi became.

Seeing that this kid began to be fascinated again, Liu Bang was a little angry:

"Hurry up, shit!"

Wang Qi hurriedly woke up and gently loosened the hand holding the guillotine......

Not to mention that there are many skilled craftsmen in our Great Song Dynasty, just listening to the sound of 'click', his legs are separated from his body.

Blood splattered Wang Qi's face, and Yaksha was so happy that she almost jumped up, and waited for the county king to struggle for a while before shoving his hand into the tiger's head again.

"Brother Jiu'er, let's give him a good time."

"Ten thousand taels of silver."

Even if the old princess was a piece of wood, she was a little angry at this time:

"I'll give 20,000 taels to give him pleasure!"

Liu Bang was overjoyed, he didn't expect the dead man's business to be so good, so he hurriedly responded.

Wang Qi raised the knife in his hand, and the heads of the eleventh son of King Yi were finally neatly placed together.

The old princess shook her head incessantly, and was about to leave, but was pulled by the emperor:

"Don't go, there are still a lot of good shows today, so you can accompany me to have a good life."

"Let's take a look!"

As he spoke, he instructed Xin Ciying to continue to try the case.

Those who sued Wang Xie's soldiers, sued one, and the people from the Lin'an Mansion went to get one, and when the people confessed, they asked them to hand over the looted money, and then ......

It was with the use of three guillotines that he understood their lives.

At this time, the emperor did not distinguish which one was which, and what dragon head was only the emperor's relatives and relatives, and those who did not exist were all murders and made the best use of things.

Watching the person fall one after another, and the next one, he was thrown aside casually like a bow, and it had been piled up as high as a small mountain, and the hall of the Lin'an Mansion was already full of blood, and the smell of fish was everywhere.

No one dared to leave, they didn't even have an idea, they were afraid that the emperor would rise up and kill themselves.

Liu Bang looked at these people and finally felt a hint of pleasure in revenge.

But that's just not enough.

Zhao Huan is not dead, everything else is fake.

The old princess watched all this happen with horror, and at first she could recite two sentences of 'Amitabha', but when she found out that the emperor was also reciting, she never said anything again.

She was only a little skeptical, wondering whether it was good or bad that she had waded into this muddy water.

looked at the emperor on the side, and then looked at Zhao Huan, who couldn't help trembling on the side, after all, it turned into a sigh in her heart.
