Chapter 51: Early Death and Early Transcendence
"Yo, I really didn't see it, Wang Xiang's old man is old, but he is much more flexible than young people."
I don't know how Wang Ciweng survived to the present, at the age of sixty years, but at this time he was like a god of war, standing in the middle of the circle made of ropes, and no one could get close to him.
was already a small place, and he was forced to give himself a safe position with a pair of fists, and Wang Ciweng's clothes were already messed up...... But at this time, who has the leisure time to care about whether the clothes are messy or not?
I don't know how many times this circle of more than 100 people has been smallened, and now it is only half the size of the beginning, and the outside of the circle is full of corpses, and although the people inside are still alive, they may lose their lives at any time.
"General, this is ......"
Empress Dowager Wei was still on the horse, but she didn't dare to look at it anymore at this time, Zhao Huan put on a smile and asked.
Qin Da was also laughing, but he smiled much more sincerely than this emperor, and he bowed slightly:
"I forgot to tell you beforehand, and as soon as you went out, we found that there were more people here."
"My emperor doesn't need so many craftsmen, and you know, the grain in the north is very expensive, and he can't support so many idlers."
"This is the person sent by Emperor Zhao again, if I send it back later, I am afraid of losing his face, don't blame us, we are really not easy to do."
After speaking, Qin Da waved his hand and shouted at those people:
"Ready, everyone, it's time to start again!"
"The old rule, three counts!"
"Three ......"
Before he could say 'three', the soldiers on either side pulled the rope back in their hands......
The circle was a lot smaller, and the people in the outer circle who were trying to squeeze inside didn't react, and they fell outside the circle in an instant.
The dozens of people were stunned, and just as they wanted to open their mouths to beg for mercy, they saw Qin Da scolding the two soldiers angrily:
"I said three counts, how can you only count one and you will do it!"
"Isn't this a lie to your nobles! Really, really! ”
When everyone saw him talking like this, they thought that there was a turning point, and they all echoed:
"Uncle Qin is wise, Uncle Qin is wise! It's really just one count! ”
"It's just that it's all pulled back, and it's not good to put it back again, everyone...... Be careful in the next life and don't get in the wrong place again! ”
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who had been guarding there raised their swords and fell...... In an instant, only a burst of mournful cries rang out, and all these people, dead or alive, were cut down to the ground.
If he dies immediately, he will have a good time, and if he still has a breath...... Then the soldiers drew their short knives from their waists and cut off their heads.
Those who haven't breathed yet have suffered a lot more, but they can't shout, and they only know their pain.
Zhao Huan couldn't bear it anymore, turned his back and kept retching, it's not that he hasn't seen murder, but like this, the method of killing first and then taking his life is too great for this Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan.
This is true of the onlookers, but not the people who are experiencing it themselves...... Death happened right in front of them, and several of them couldn't resist anymore and began to run outside like crazy.
It's just that as soon as he stepped out of that circle, he immediately died here, in this place that is only a dozen miles away from Lin'an City.
They were all rich and noble people in the past, but at this time they are as cheap as ants...... They have long been ants, and since the emperor sent them to work as coolies, their fate and fortune have long been different from before.
Some of the people left in the circle are still constantly squeezing, and if they stand in the middle for an inch, they will have an extra inch of vitality; There are also some old and frail people who knelt down on the spot and kept kowtowing to Qin Da:
"Uncle Qin, for the sake of old acquaintances, please spare my life, spare my life!"
"You and I are both working for Qin Xiang, even if you don't look at the monk's face, you can also look at the Buddha's face, and I will be very happy to see Qin Xiang in the future, and we can still say a few words to him together."
"Uncle Qin, spare your life, spare your life!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty save me!"
"Didn't you say that Lin'an is better? Why did Your Majesty do so much harm to us! ”
There are all kinds of things, but judging from their tones, what many people can think of is the relationship between this Qin Mansion Grand Steward and Qin Hui, these people were indeed brought out of the city by Zhao Huan personally, and he turned his back to them at this time, not daring to touch their gaze.
For fear of going to hell, these people think of themselves as ghosts.
While retching, Zhao Huan also intermittently heard the identity of the golden man who gave orders.
Qin Hui's official family, how did he become the general of the Jin people!
He was already suspicious in his heart, but he still didn't dare to look back, but asked in a low voice:
"I don't know how many people the general wants to keep, but there is a specific number?"
He said it quietly, but he was still listened to by those people, and for a while everyone forgot to speak, and their eyes were focused on Qin Da.
What Zhao Huan asked was what they wanted to know the most.
If there is a specific number, it is only right to form an alliance and push others out to death.
Qin Da held his cheeks, thought carefully for a while, and seriously reported a number.
"One, one is fine."
This is almost cutting off everyone's life, no one is sure that they will survive to the end, but no one wants to just give up.
Soon, the people in that circle began to crowd again.
Qin smiled apologetically at Zhao Huan:
"Look...... I've got to be busy here for a while, and I really can't entertain you, so why don't you go to the camp and see the marshal yourself?" He's been waiting for you for a long, long time. ”
Zhao Huan hurriedly got up and retched for a while, his face was now full of tears and snot, but now he couldn't care about it so much, he just wanted to get out of here quickly, leave this slaughtering place.
The appearance of the Jin people killing the Song people for fun like child's play reminded him of a lot of things, many, many memories kept churning out of his mind, countless familiar faces continued to intertwine back and forth in front of his eyes, he pulled the reins, and he didn't even stand firm in the first step, and fell directly to the ground, but Qin Da helped him up.
"Don't be afraid, this matter has nothing to do with you, you better go in early, and when this is done, I will come back to you."
Zhao Huan didn't dare to answer him a word, he pulled the reins and walked forward, no matter how terrible the people behind him screamed, no matter how they begged him, he just didn't look back.
One step at a time, with great determination.
Life and death are fateful, this place is still difficult to protect itself, and it really can't protect other people.
Comforting himself so much, he couldn't help but be a little irritated when he heard Empress Dowager Wei start sobbing again:
"Don't cry! Shicai has told you that nothing is nothing! ”
"Those people don't matter, it's Jin Guo who has misremembered the number, and everyone has explained it...... It's annoying to cry like this, you have to think about how they behave, and don't make trouble for yourself! ”
His words had an effect, and the sobbing voice was literally lowered.
At last he reached the door of the big tent, and saw that a table was set up outside, and a man sat in front of him, and beside the man was a large chest half a man high, which was full of gold, silver, and jewelry.
Even in broad daylight, it makes people unable to open their eyes.
When the two got closer, Zhao Huan helped the Empress Dowager Wei off the horse, and then he saw the person in front of him clearly......
Empress Dowager Wei cried several times, and the white powder on her face had already been messed up, and she looked very ugly with a flower face at this time.
She recognized the man at a glance, a little frightened at this time, but more than that, extremely surprised.
"It's you!"
She recognized it, and Zhao Huan also recognized it, this is not the commander of the Imperial City Division, Lao Jiu's brother-in-law, who is it!
Why did he appear here, in the camp of the people of the Golden Kingdom?
The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and Zhao Huan said to this arch:
"Kind of commander, you ......"
For another day, for another place, Zhao Huan has always been a person who does not want to provoke or deal with this person, but today, in this place.
Zhao Huan couldn't ignore or ignore him, and after all, he put on a low profile.
Chongfeng's feet are still immobile, and it is likely that he will not be able to move for the rest of his life, but no one can say what will happen in the future, just like now, he can at least sit up straight and move his two hands.
"Wait a minute, here are some things prepared by the official family for the Queen Mother, all of which are the Queen Mother's favorite objects, this trip is long, I am here to see off the Queen Mother."
He didn't call him 'minister' but 'I', which was already out of order, but at this time, no one cared about these at all.
On the contrary, I heard him say that he was sent by the emperor, and the two of them were more confused than the other, this is clearly the camp of the Jin State, and both of them have lived in the Jin Country for fifteen years, whether the Jin people are Song people, whether the Jin people are pretending to be Song people or the Jin people who are pretending to be Song people, you can see through it at a glance.
If it weren't for that, Zhao Huan wouldn't be so convinced.
Chong Feng stretched out a hand and motioned for the two to sit down and talk, the camp tent was behind him, and the two nobles no longer had the squeamishness they had when they were in the Lin'an Imperial City, they exchanged glances with each other, and finally sat down.
Seeing that the wind was unhurried, he made tea for the two of them, and said while brewing:
"The Queen Mother suffered in the north, this matter is known to the world, come back to Lin'an to enjoy more, that is as it should be."
"But the official family was puzzled, so they specially sent me to inquire about ......"
He looked at the woman in front of him, and directly ignored the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan on the side, Empress Dowager Wei was already timid, and after so many years of hard life, she had become a mouse-like character, and the thunder could startle her if it was a little louder.
This is normal, after all, those who are bold, such as Zhao Gou's queen Xing Bingyi, like Zhao Huan's Empress Zhu, these bold ones have already died, where can they still live to this day.
Thinking that since she came back, she hadn't even spoken a few words to her son, so she didn't wait for the wind to finish speaking, so she asked:
"Brother Jiu'er......"
"Queen Mother!" Chong Feng also interrupted her, "I'll tell you again one last time, the Son of Heaven, the Father and the Mother of the Earth, even if you are the biological mother of the official family, please be cautious!" ”
Empress Dowager Wei originally hated him so much, but now she didn't dare to attack at all, paused, and finally changed her words:
"What did the official ask?"
Satisfied with her performance, Chongfeng pushed the two cups of tea in front of the two with his fingers:
"The official family wants me to ask you, why did you say the words of giving up the throne to the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan?"
Before Empress Dowager Wei could answer, Zhao Huan hurriedly explained:
"This is the opinion of the Queen Mother, and I ...... Not related! ”
"I'm asking the Queen Mother."
"Yes, yes."
The two of them replied like this, and there was no appearance of a monarch or a minister at all, only the difference between the superior and the inferior.
Empress Dowager Wei didn't expect that the emperor would be worried about this matter, and she didn't expect that he would always remember it, thinking that because of this sentence, her son was alienated from herself, she couldn't bear it anymore, and began to cry again.
Zhao Huan didn't dare to speak, and she didn't persuade her, so she said while crying:
"How can there be two emperors in a country, after all, the eldest brother is justifiable, and he is also the crown prince set up by the first emperor himself...... The noble man also said that it is good for the eldest brother to be the emperor, and the two countries can be safe. ”
"Where do I have any selfish intentions, but it's just that I'm thinking about Da Song and my son."
Chong Feng looked at her: "Which nobleman?" ”
"That's it, it's the noble man of the Jin Kingdom who brought us back."
"Who is he?"
"No, I don't know."
"I don't know?!"
If it weren't for the broken leg, Chongfeng would have stood up by slapping the table.
Such a nonsensical thing, what is this queen mother pretending to be in her head!
Sighing softly, Chong Feng was a little speechless and said:
"What the official asked me to ask, I already asked, and I have nothing else to say."
Empress Dowager Wei was a little anxious: "You don't have it, the nine ...... Do you still have something to say to me? ”
Chong Feng grabbed a handful from the box on the side and took out a lot of gold and silver:
"No, no, even if there is, I'm afraid you won't want to hear it."
"I want to hear it, I want to hear it!"
'Smack~'
Those valuable objects were scattered on the table casually by the wind, and the wind was not raised, as if looking at these things was fascinating:
"You are greedy for money, and you can be forgiven, but you can't live unless you force Daoji's parents to death."
The three words 'not alive' were like thunder, and the eyes of the two people in front of the case widened.
"This, this is not what the official family said, this is not what the official family said!"
"You rebel, you dare to falsely spread the word of the Son of Heaven, you have a few heads that are enough to cut off!"
"Rebel thief, rebel thief!"
Empress Dowager Wei's voice was very sharp, and she only felt harsh, and clapped her hands gently, and the Jin soldiers on both sides stepped forward...... They didn't even say a word, and the woman fell silent.
Naturally, she didn't lose her mind, but she didn't want to put it on this Song Chen.
"The Queen Mother is calm for a while, and when you bring the things that the official family gave you, the minister's mission will be over."
She looked at the table full of gold and silver, and the contents of the big box on the side, while thinking that her son was still thinking about himself after all, and on the other hand, he was indeed too,
The eyes glowed.
I saw a lot of familiar objects, which were clearly the things that Zhao Ding had honored herself before, she took a bracelet at random, and subconsciously put it on her hand.
But again, he was restrained by the wind.
"Queen Mother, this thing is not for you to wear."
Empress Dowager Wei was a little puzzled: "This bracelet is not used to wear, is it difficult or is it used to eat?" ”
"It is worthy of being the queen mother, it is used for eating."
Zhao Huan looked at the Empress Dowager Wei and looked back at the wind...... He had a very unreal feeling.
Lao Jiu ...... How dare you?!
Empress Dowager Wei's hand holding the bracelet froze, and after a while, she seemed to remember something, and quickly threw the bracelet on the table.
"You, you're really going to make fun of this palace."
Chong Feng shook his head and said very seriously: "It's not a joke. ”
"Your Majesty has said, killing people pays for life, and Daoji's father's life needs you to pay it back, otherwise, he will be embarrassed to see Daoji for the rest of his life."
"You like these things so much that you can swallow them, swallow as much as you can, swallow you...... Breath up. ”
Empress Dowager Wei's face twitched uncontrollably, she shook her head gently, and looked at Zhao Huan beside her from time to time, as if she was saying to Zhao Huan: 'I don't know what he means at all'.
The latter lowered his head, not daring to look at it again, nor to listen again.
This thing...... It doesn't matter if Lao Jiu has anything to do with Jinren, and it doesn't matter if he wants to kill his mother.
If you only let yourself know about it, it will be very relevant.
"Don't laugh, don't laugh......"
The style is very serious, very serious, and there is no sense of laughter in the body at all.
It's just that Empress Dowager Wei can't see it, or she can't see it, and she doesn't want to admit it.
It's not something that can be used as a joke.
"Queen Mother, do it yourself, at least be decent."
"Asking someone else to help you will break your identity after all."
In February, birds that came from nowhere, flew over the heads of the three of them, and instead of chirping, they made a flapping sound of flapping their wings.
When the tea on the table was cold, Empress Dowager Wei trembled and picked up a ring.
"Really, is it really what Brother Jiu'er meant?"
Chongfeng turned his face away and didn't answer her.
The commander didn't look at it, but the soldiers around him could see it clearly, they didn't care what the identity of this person was, they only knew that she had to die today.
And it must be swallowed to death, otherwise, even if they bite their tongues and commit suicide, it will be their dereliction of duty.
People don't die because they swallow gold, unless they swallow raw gold, because raw gold is poisonous.
The reason why he died was because the contents of his stomach were cut, and Empress Dowager Wei went down with a ring and was stuck in her throat for a while before she finally swallowed it.
But she really didn't want to go through such an ordeal a second time, so she fell backwards and crawled to the ground with her hands and feet.
She didn't know where to climb, she only knew how to run, only to run.
A group of people swarmed up and pressed her hands and feet to the ground, followed by a wrench, an earring, and a hairpin...... One component is heavier than the other, and one is sharper than the other.
Blood was already spraying from her mouth, but people kept stuffing her mouth, and when she couldn't swallow it, she used a knife to make a pestle and clubbed it in her mouth.
In the first year of Song Daguan, in the imperial city of Kaifeng, the talented Wei gave birth to the prince Zhao Gou in May, and entered the seal for Jieyu in June, and entered the second year of Daguan for contouring.
During the period from the destruction of Kaifeng Mansion to Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne, she was never fortunate by Emperor Huizong once, as a woman who gave birth to a prince, Zhao Ji gave her the highest title in her life, but it was just to condense her appearance.
Not even a concubine.
After the city of Kaifeng was broken, her name was written on the genealogy recorded by the clan, but among the concubines, she was born ordinary, even when she arrived in the Jin Kingdom, she was only sent to the laundry yard to do some hard work.
Although there is a night of joy in the Heavenly King's Wanyan Competition, it is more like venting, rather than a private relationship between men and women, as a queen mother born as a servant, she is already very lucky;
But as a relative of the emperor, as the emperor's woman, or as a woman of the Great Song Dynasty, she is really unlucky.
She thought that when she entered the palace, it would be the beginning of the wealth of this life, but it was not.
She thought that Zhao Jilin was fortunate to her, and her fate had finally changed, but no.
She thought that when she gave birth to a prince, she would be able to undergo some changes, at least when she could be the same as other concubines, but she still didn't.
Now, when her son became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and she became the queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty, all this can really be regarded as bitter and sweet......
Everything is different from what she thought, one life, two fortunes and three feng shui, but she doesn't know where fate went wrong, so it will torment her like this.
At least he died not far from Brother Jiu'er...... At this moment before closing her eyes, she thought so.
When the sound gradually fell silent, Chongfeng poured another cup of tea:
"I don't have anything to say to you, and drinking this cup of tea can be regarded as a practice for you...... Go to your account. ”
Zhao Huan didn't dare to raise his head at all: "All this is his arrangement, isn't it?" ”
"Is there any leeway? Is there still room for negotiation? ”
"I don't think about the throne, as long as Lao Jiu is willing, I can be a concubine, a monk, and never appear in front of him."
"I just want to live."
He just wanted to live, and as an emperor, he just wanted to live, that's it.
But even this requirement seems to be very difficult.
He didn't speak for a long time, and at last he raised his head, his face was full of tears, and in front of him, except for the tent, there was no one in front of him.
I knew this was the case, and I stayed in the Northland, and I was a little aggrieved, but at least I could still live.
What are you doing back?
If Empress Dowager Wei's life has never been as she wanted, then Zhao Huan's life should have been regretted all the time.
I regret not listening to Li Gang's words, I regret going out of the city when the Jin soldiers were besieging the city, and I regret that after Kaifeng was besieged for the first time, I forcibly withdrew the kind of defense line that the division asked to set up.
Now, the thing he regrets the most has become coming back from the north.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang in the golden camp outside the Jiahui Gate, which startled the people within a radius of dozens of miles.
Liu Bang looked at the slowly rising fireworks, which looked much dimmer in the daytime.
He drank a glass of wine, and finally felt a little drunk.
"Open the gates."
"Official ......"
"Open the gates!"
After this last will, he leaned on Wang Qi's shoulder and fell asleep deeply.
