Chapter 847: Copper Coin Turns into Buddha
Chai Rong immediately ordered all the prisoners to be slaughtered and the whole army pursued. No one believed that all this was true, but no one dared to disobey the emperor's orders, and after thousands of people were slaughtered, they chased in the direction of Liu Chong's escape.
Liu Chong ran all the way, and Zhou Jun pursued all the way. There were countless gold and silver treasures left on the road, but there was no property in everyone's eyes, and they knew that this was Liu Chong's plan to slow down the army. If the soldiers robbed these gold and silver treasures, they could give him a little more time to escape, but the Zhou army was not fooled and still clung to it.
Liu Chong's troops threw away their armor and almost the entire army took nothing with them except the weapons in their hands, and threw them all on the road. But it is precisely because of this that Zhou Jun can pursue all the way, and he doesn't want to let Liu Chong go at all.
Chasing to Gaoping, the Northern Han troops couldn't run at all, so they deployed in Gaoping, killing war horses to satisfy hunger. The Zhou army arrived, and the two sides fought together again, at this time the Northern Han army still had nearly 10,000 troops, but it had no resistance and was killed.
When the two sides were fighting, Liu Chong had already fled. This time, Liu Chong didn't care about anyone, only took a few personal guards, and fled to a hidden path on horseback, even if his own son Liu Chengjun was still fighting on the front line, he didn't care, at this time it was still his own life that mattered.
Liu Chong ran hundreds of miles continuously with less than ten people, and finally managed to get lost. Walking through dozens of miles in the mountains and forests, the sky was getting dark, and Liu Chong and his party killed war horses to satisfy their hunger, and they didn't know where they were. After resting for the night, he continued to set off, but in the deep mountains and old forests, he found a small mountain village at dusk, and captured the villagers to lead the way, but the villagers took Liu Chong in the opposite direction, and it was not until the next morning that he saw the sun rising in the east and realized that the direction was wrong.
Liu Chong immediately ordered someone to kill the villagers, ran back, and finally fled back to Jinyang. Liu Chongnian was over 60 years old, and his body was already exhausted, and he couldn't afford to be sick after returning to Jinyang.
Seeing that the momentum of the Zhou army was so strong, how could Yang Gon dare to besiege Weizhou? The soldiers of the Song Dynasty immediately went out of the city to pursue, and Chai Rong returned to Luzhou to rest, first beheaded the soldiers and surrendered the generals, and then organized the army to continue to send troops to Jinyang. All the way through the pass, the Zhou army has already killed the red eyes and directly surrounded Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Chai Rong besieged the city for two months, whether there was a Taoist command to defend the city, Chai Rong could not capture it for a long time. The battle report came from the front line, the Khitan army pressed the border, Yang Gon was still a little moral, and came to encircle Wei to save Zhao. Chai Rong had no choice but to collect his troops and return to defense. This battle was fought from spring to summer, and Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, was almost completely exposed to the attack range of the Zhou army.
After the war, Chai Rong's class returned to the dynasty. After several months of fighting, Chai Rong was also physically and mentally exhausted. But the killing intent in his heart is even better, because he has experienced the war at the forefront and tore apart with the enemy's bare hands, Chai Rong has really grown up at this time, but he is not Guo Wei, Chai Rong's killing intent is not easy to control at all.
After returning to the court, there was a period of reward and punishment. The biggest beneficiary is, of course, Zhao Kuangyin, and now Zhao Kuangyin is a celebrity around Chai Rong. Because of Zhao Kuangyin's reason, Chai Rong defeated the Northern Han, and Zhao Kuangyin's bravery is indeed fresh in people's memories, although the battlefield is different from the competition of martial arts masters, but people with strong martial arts are indeed more powerful. Since it is Zhao Kuangyin's black bull invulnerable, it will breathe fire, and on the battlefield, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can withstand the power of a thousand people.
Chai Rong also hadn't dealt with the government for a long time, and after returning to Bianliang City, he immediately began to review the chapters, knowing what was happening in other places in the Great Zhou. Although she owes some money to the queen Fu Xuanyi, the queen is very knowledgeable, not only does not care, but brings her sister Fu Xuanci into the palace, and the two sisters serve Chai Rong together.
Chai Rong's body was not very good in the first place, and the person they really wanted to serve was actually Zhao Kuangyin. Although he didn't run to the palace every night, Zhao Kuangyin would run into Fu Xuanyi's bedroom as long as he had time, and he would take off his clothes and sleep without saying anything.
Fu Xuanci never refused, because her sister had made it very clear before she called her to come, as long as the first night was given to Chai Rong, they would be responsible for serving two people, one was the emperor Chai Rong, and the other was her sister's concubine Zhao Kuangyin. No matter how promised this kind of thing, it is impossible to completely trust the other party, so Fu Xuanci must be pulled into the water.
After sleeping with Zhao Kuangyin for a few years, Fu Xuanci knew why her sister liked Zhao Kuangyin so much. However, the two have no fate, and they are fortunate to be this dewy couple. And Zhao Kuangyin also comes and goes often, and the two sisters are very satisfied with this.
........................
One day
Fan Zhen and Wang Pu invited Chai Rong out of the palace to play, Chai Rong still looks like Guo Wei in some places, wearing a cloth coat and going out, with only two guards by his side, as well as Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng Ziming. These two people are strong in martial arts, even the top masters may not be able to beat him.
"Lao Wang, I said I wanted to bring my friends to take a look today. Go ahead and leave us alone. "Fan Zhen greeted the head of the place first, he should have prepared in advance.
"Master Fan, please inside. ”
Fan Zhen and Wang Pu took Chai Rong directly to a workshop, there was a large cauldron in this workshop, the pot was full of red copper water, and there were several molds next to it, it seemed that they were ready to pour these copper water into the mold to form. There were a few shirtless workers boiling copper water nearby.
Fan Zhen said: "Your Majesty has seen these things?"
"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. It's just boiling copper, and you called me here for this matter?" Chai Rong was full of displeasure, there were still a lot of things in the palace, and he finally showed up to play once, and he actually went to such a hot place. The next time they come out to play, let Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng Ziming lead the way, and they will definitely be able to find some high-end entertainment venues...... You can spend money on places where beautiful women are serving, and take a break once in a while, of course, you have to go to that kind of place.
Chai Rong originally thought that Fan Zhen and Wang Pu were planning to take themselves to consume, after all, the wives of Fan Zhen and Wang Pu were very domineering, since they were Fan Zhen, his wife was Lei Fang's martial arts were extremely high, and Fan Zhen did not dare to take a concubine at all. Wang Pu is also a wonderful, he used to be a mountain village husband, but now he is rich and powerful, he is still afraid of his wife and does not dare to take a concubine.
Fan Zhen chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, just look at it and you'll understand." ”
Some workers pour the molten copper into the mold, and then a new batch of molten copper begins to boil again. But when the workers took out the raw materials, Chai Rong was shocked and almost dropped his jaw. The raw material is not a copper block, but a Kuang Kuang's copper coin, and it is also a copper coin of the Great Zhou.
"This ...... What's going on? These copper coins were made with great difficulty, and how did they melt them down and make something else?"
Fan Zhen explained: "Your Majesty, copper coins are not worth much. The reason is that the first emperor Guo Wei took Lei Hong's money all the year round, and used silver directly for everything, and the imperial court had a high debt, so he did not continue to make copper coins. After the number of copper coins decreased, no one liked to use them, after all, the cheap copper coins in the world are very precious, but the high-value silver can be found everywhere, who will be rare copper coins? Not to mention...... Since the birth of Master Zongxin, Buddha statues have been made everywhere, copper is less and less, copper coins are far less precious than Buddha statues, so the people would rather melt copper coins to make Buddha statues. ”
"It's Zongxin again......" Chai Rong gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you Zongxin, I almost killed me last time in Luzhou, and this is not enough to harm me again." Copper coins are the currency in circulation issued by the imperial court, how can they be so wasted? What kind of Buddha statue is there to use?"
Chai Rong has actually endured this breath, since the last defeat of Liu Chong of the Northern Han in Luzhou, Chai Rong has never mentioned Zong Xin's design to harm himself. At that time, Zong Xin said through Zhang Yongde's mouth that as long as he attacked the troops outside the city, he could win a big victory, but the result was that he fell into Liu Chong's trap.
For Zong Xin's hatred, Chai Rong couldn't contain it, and he really wanted to send troops to Chang'an to directly destroy the entire Lei Wang Mansion. But no, it really doesn't work...... Zong Xin's martial arts are outstanding, and his wisdom is extremely high, not to mention that no matter how bad the strength of the Lei Wangfu is, it is far better than the ordinary princes, plus the people of the Lei Wangfu are all strong in martial arts, it is impossible to attack the Lei Wangfu.
Angry, mad. Originally, he said that he swallowed this breath and did not mention the matter of Luzhou. I didn't expect to see Zongxin's 'masterpiece' again today, he was a high-ranking monk, and others actually used the copper coins issued by the court to make Buddha statues, which is just nonsense. In the long run, the copper coins issued by the Great Zhou will become Buddha statues, and there is no need to issue copper coins in the future, just send Buddha statues directly.
"Your Majesty......"
"Shut up. Chai Rong said angrily: "You two brought me to see these things, just deliberately to disgust me, isn't it? Zongxin is very powerful, can't I admit it? Last time in Luzhou, a small note almost killed me, if it were someone else, I could punish him for the nine clans, but Zongxin can't, can't I take him? Do you have to take me to see these things?"
Fan Zhen said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is angry, the ministers just want to tell Your Majesty one thing, the imperial court has not made copper coins for a long time, and the first emperor has been trading with silver, so that copper coins are scarce." It is not a good thing to continue like this in the long run, and the most basic copper coins must become the key circulating currency, so this matter is the top priority of the Great Zhou...... The ministers did not deliberately bring His Majesty to see these things. ”
Chai Rong said: "Don't you have a mouth? Don't say it when you go to court, you have to bring me to see this kind of thing with your own eyes? Fan Zhen, you remember it clearly for me, don't think that you are Zongxin's brother-in-law is very great, and you want to force me to be in a hurry, so you still took off your black yarn hat." ”
Fan Zhen and Wang Pu both looked confused, Your Majesty is not feeling well today? Why do you come to the eldest aunt? Why do you scold people when you see them? And when Zongxin was mentioned, His Majesty was very excited and very angry. It's as if anything related to Zongxin can provoke him.
The people around Chai Rong were all talking bad about Zongxin in front of him alone, and even Fan Zhen and Wang Pu had never heard of these things, and thought that the relationship between Chai Rong and Zongxin was very good. Suddenly...... I just thought that Chai Rong was sick when he thought of being bald.
