Chapter 79

He took Heiyu Guard, family, craftsmen and servants to travel for a long distance, and after several twists and turns, he finally entered Chuanxia Fourth Road and Chengdu Prefecture in early March.

The four routes of Sichuan and Gorges have abundant resources. The Central Plains have experienced many wars and chaos, and bureaucrats and wealthy people fled to Sichuan to take refuge. There is even a saying that "Hebei and Jiangdong are everywhere, but I heard that there is no dust in Shu. A bottle and a bowl are old, and thousands of waters and mountains are obtained."

Because of the advantage of geographical advantage, the four routes of Sichuan and Xia have not been affected by war for many years. The gentry of aristocratic families who have suffered great disasters like to come to Shu is the most convenient place, and the people in the Jianghu are the same. They are forced by the court and have no choice but to go to the steep mountains of Shu. The army cannot attack and the small team cannot find people.

This led to a completely different situation in Chengdu Prefecture and other prefectures. The wealth of the city was also among the top in the Song Dynasty, second only to Bianjing, Hangzhou and other places. However, the surrounding counties and counties frequently encountered bandits. There were countless mountain villages in the steep mountains, and they all occupied the tops and established themselves as kings. The largest bandit bandit was led by King Chen Song of Shu, with a scale of more than 10,000 people. There were many slightly inferior ones, such as Qinglong Village in Shuzhou, Meizhou Meishan Village, etc.

These hamlets were left over from an uprising a hundred years ago, because Shu was backed by the Tubo tribes, and there were no foreign enemies or heavy troops here. They were not cleaned up for many years. Over time, they stabilized and reached a tacit understanding with the surrounding people.

The mountain villages in Shu are completely different from Shandong. Because the government is powerful and cannot survive by plundering alone, the government cannot easily get in. The two sides have been in a stalemate for many years. Many people in the village have to keep them, and they cannot eat soil every day. So some mountain villages have women and children weave bamboo baskets and dustpans, disguised themselves as good people and went to the towns to change salt and iron and other necessities.

The government suppressed bandits every day, but after a long time, the yamen runners turned a blind eye, as long as they didn't come to fight the house and rob the house.

When other villages saw this scene, in order to make life more comfortable and did not want to fight with the government, they began to show their capabilities, brew wine, make paper, smoked bacon, pickle pickles, and grow peppercorns, and then take the products to the township to sell, or wait for merchants to come and collect.

After more than ten years, the bandits in Shu have been quarreling for many years. Most of the parodies are basically the same as villages except for not paying taxes. The parodies are all people who are forced to be forced by taxes and have no choice but to be defeated. They cherish a way out. Sometimes the bandits who committed major cases fled into the mountains. The parodies who did not want to cause trouble also caught people and threw them outside the yamen. Only a small number of parodies robbed and burned everywhere.

If it weren't for this, Diankui Si wouldn't have left it alone. If Chen Song had not unified a large village in the past few years, the name of "Western Shu" would not have appeared in the document library. The government also cleared it twice, but unfortunately it still couldn't be defeated, and it was finally over. The King of Shu was the King of Shu, just be happy.

However, Western Shu is not a peaceful place. In recent years, due to the influence of events such as Huashigang, Faith, and Xicheng, the number of aristocratic families and gangs that poured into Western Shu increased dramatically. Most of them were absorbed by various copycats, and many people set up their own businesses. Frequent friction between the old and new forces led to some chaos in Shu.

After all, the bandit camp is a bandit camp, and the court cannot command it. It can only attack whoever emerges and try to stabilize the situation.

And in such an environment, a new force quietly came to the steep mud pond in Shu with the attitude of a strong dragon crossing the river...

Dong-dong-dong-

The thick bells spread throughout the imperial city. On the streets, soldiers and the people kowtowed on the ground. All officials were respectfully waiting in front of the imperial street to welcome the new emperor of the Song Dynasty into the palace.

Zhao Zhe, wearing a dragon robe, sat in a wide imperial chariot, beside him was the princess in a phoenix crown and a robe. When she walked through the gate of the palace, she was the queen.

The princess had no joy in her eyes, but she just made a dignified and majestic expression. In her eyes that were five-part to Zhao Tianluo, she had a little worry and longing.

Zhao Jieyi was dead and King Kang came to power. King Kang was the biggest profiteer and had to avoid suspicion. Cao Hua was also King Kang's son-in-law. He killed the emperor and more than a dozen princes and fled with his family. Even though the princess knew that Cao Hua had left with Luo'er, he could only tell the public that the thief had abducted the two princesses.

Cao Hua saved King Kang, and the princess remembered it in his heart, but the first thing he did after inheriting the throne was to start an endless pursuit of this son-in-law. Even if King Kang didn't want to, he had to do so. Otherwise, the history books would inevitably record that "King King Zhao Che ordered his son-in-law to go to the capital to murder the monarch and prince, and thus gain the throne."

When Cao Hua leaves, it is likely that heaven and man will be separated forever, and the grandson who is still in his womb will never be seen.

Zhao Che wore a golden crown on his head, but there was a scar on his forehead on his left side. He was still bandaged with gauze and his left hand trembled slightly, but his eyes were very calm. He looked at the officials and civilians of the Song Dynasty kneeling on both sides and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, I passed through the palace wall and saw the main hall above the Imperial Path.

Zhao Huai, who was already the prince, looked at the towering palace city in a daze. He was silent for a long time, but still couldn't help but ask softly:

"Father, sister and brother-in-law...what should I do?"

Zhao Zhe sighed with ease, walked across the imperial road with Zhao Huai's support, and looked back. There were crowds and officials who could not see the end behind.

"Cao Hua... has become a knife in someone else's hand...

...... The emperor wanted to sit in this position, but couldn't sit steadily and fell down...

......I don't want to sit in this position, but I can't tolerate anyone's rejection...

....It is hard to be an emperor, you will be calm in the future..."

Zhao Huai held his father in a dragon robe and thought for a while:

"That brother-in-law..."

Zhao Che shook his head: "From now on, there will be no connection. Under the general trend, everyone can't help but cannot tolerate any personal relationship... Cao Hua is very capable, ten or twenty years, after this king dies, you may not call him brother-in-law again."

Zhao Huai didn't quite understand King Kang's words and frowned: "Brother-in-law is a good person. He has no disagreement with his father and me. This time... he has no choice but to do it..."

"hehe...."

Zhao Zhe shook his head, thought for a long time, and said earnestly:

"Do you still remember the allusion of wearing a yellow robe?"

Zhao Huai nodded: "Emperor Taizu was loyal to the previous dynasty, but was supported by the generals and forced to ascend the throne to helplessly..."

Zhao Zhe walked up the stone stairs one by one, entered the hall, and looked at the dragon throne above:

"No one can tell whether he is voluntarily or forced. But whether a person wants to be an emperor is not what he said. Just like this king, he has already reached this point, and he must be accused of killing his brother and killing the king, otherwise... haha..." Zhao Che sighed and said nothing more.

Zhao Huai frowned slightly and thought:

"Sister... I definitely won't agree..."

"Rurious is the most imperial family.

When your sister has a son, I won’t think so anymore..."
