royal robes

Chapter 815
Chai Rong immediately ordered that all the captives be slaughtered, and the whole army pursued them.No one believed that all this was true, but no one dared to disobey the emperor's order. After thousands of people were slaughtered, they chased in the direction where Liu Chong was fleeing.

Liu Chong ran all the way, Zhou Jun pursued all the way.Countless gold and silver treasures were missed on the road, but everyone saw no treasures in their eyes. They knew that this was Liu Chong's plan to slow down the army.If the soldiers looted these gold and silver treasures, they could give him more time to escape, but Zhou Jun was not fooled and still clung to it.

Liu Chong's troops threw away their helmets and armor. Except for the weapons in their hands, almost the entire army carried nothing, and threw them all on the road.But because of this, Zhou Jun could pursue all the way, and he didn't want to let Liu Chong go.

After chasing to Gaoping, the troops of the Northern Han Dynasty could not run at all. They set up defenses in Gaoping and killed war horses to satisfy their hunger.Zhou Jun arrived, and the two sides fought together again. At this time, the Northern Han Army still had nearly [-] troops, but they were powerless to resist, and many were killed.

When the two sides were fighting, Liu Chong had already fled.This time Liu Chong didn't care about anyone, he only brought a few bodyguards, and fled to a hidden path on horseback. He didn't care even if his own son Liu Chengjun was still fighting at the front line. At this time, his own life was the most important thing.

Liu Chong ran for hundreds of miles with less than ten people, and finally succeeded in getting lost.Traveling through the mountains and forests for dozens of miles, the sky was getting dark, Liu Chong and his party killed war horses to satisfy their hunger, and they didn't know where they were at all.After resting overnight, they continued their journey, but they found a small mountain village in the middle of the deep mountains and old forests at dusk, and captured the villagers to lead the way. As a result, the villagers took Liu Chong in the opposite direction, and they didn't realize that the direction was wrong until they saw the sun rising in the early morning of the next day.

Liu Chong immediately ordered people to kill the villagers, ran back, and finally fled back to Jinyang.Liu Chong was over 60 years old, and his body was already exhausted. After returning to Jinyang, he couldn't get sick.

Seeing the strength of the Zhou army, Yang Gun dared to besiege Weizhou?Directly led the troops to flee back to Khitan.The soldiers of the Song Dynasty immediately went out of the city to pursue them. Chai Rong returned to Luzhou to rest and reorganize.All the way through the pass, the Zhou army was so red-eyed that they directly surrounded Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Chai Rong besieged the city for two months, and there was no Taoist commanding to defend the city, but Chai Rong couldn't attack for a long time.The battle report came from the front line, the Khitan army was pressing down on the border, Yang Gun was somewhat moral, and came to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.Chai Rong had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to defense.This battle lasted from spring to summer, and Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, was almost completely exposed to the Zhou army's attack range.

After the war, Chai Rong returned to court.After several months of fighting, Chai Rong was also exhausted physically and mentally.But the murderous desire in his heart is stronger, because he has experienced the frontline war and fought with the enemy with his bare hands. At this time, Chai Rong has really grown up, but he is not Guo Wei, and Chai Rong's murderous desire is not easy to control.

After returning to the dynasty, there will be rewards and punishments for a while.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 Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin's bravery is indeed fresh in people's memory. Although the competition on the battlefield is different from that of martial arts masters, people with high martial arts skills are indeed more powerful.Since Zhao Kuangyin's black bull is invulnerable and can breathe fire, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can withstand the strength of a thousand people on the battlefield.

Chai Rong also hadn't dealt with government affairs for a long time, and immediately began to review the memorials after returning to Bianliang City, knowing what happened in other places in Dazhou.Although she was somewhat indebted to Empress Fu Xuanyi, the Empress was very knowledgeable and not only didn't care about it, but brought her younger sister Fu Xuanci into the palace, and the two sisters served Chai Rong together.

Chai Rong was not in good health to begin with, and the person they really wanted to serve was Zhao Kuangyin.Although he did not come to the palace every night, Zhao Kuangyin would run into Fu Xuanyi's bedroom whenever he had time, take off his clothes and sleep without saying anything.

Fu Xuanci never refused, because her sister had made it very clear before she was asked to come, as long as they gave Chai Rong the first night, 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 you promise this kind of thing, it is impossible to completely trust the other party, so Fu Xuanci must be dragged into the water.

After sleeping with Zhao Kuangyin for a few times, Fu Xuanci knew why his sister liked Zhao Kuangyin so much.But the two are destined to have nothing to do, and they are lucky to be this dewy couple.Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin also came and went frequently, and the two sisters were very satisfied with this.

........................

one day

Fan Zhi and Wang Pu invited Chai Rong out of the palace to play. Chai Rong still looked like Guo Wei in some places, and went out in a commoner dress, with only two guards, Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng Ziming.The martial arts of these two people are so strong that even the top fighters may not be able to defeat him.

"Old Wang, I said I'm going to bring my friends to take a look today. You go ahead and don't worry about us." Fan Zhi first greeted the boss here, it must have been prepared in advance.

"Master Fan, please come inside."

Fan Zhi and Wang Pu took Chai Rong directly to a workshop. There was a big pot in the workshop, which was filled with red copper water. There were several molds beside it. It seemed that they were going to pour the copper water into the molds. take shape.Next to it, several shirtless workers were boiling copper water.

Fan Zhi said: "Your Majesty has seen these things?"

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. It's just boiling copper. You called me here for this matter?" Chai Rong was full of displeasure. There were still many things going on in the palace. The place.Let Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng Ziming lead the way next time they go out to play, they will definitely find some high-end entertainment places... places where they can spend money and have beautiful women serve them, and take a break occasionally, of course they will go to that kind of place.

Chai Rong originally thought that Fan Zhi and Wang Pu were planning to take him to do some shopping. After all, both Fan Zhi and Wang Pu's wives were very domineering. It was Fan Zhi, and his wife was Lei Fang. Fan Zhi was extremely skilled in martial arts. I dare not take concubines at all.Wang Pu is also a strange man. He used to be a village man in the mountains, but now that he is rich and powerful, he is still afraid of his wife and dare not take concubines.

Fan Zhi smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you will understand after reading it."

Some workers pour copper water into the mold, and then a new batch of copper water will start to boil again.But when the workers took out the raw materials, Chai Rong almost dropped his jaw in shock.The raw material is not copper ingots, but a lot of copper coins, and they are also copper coins from Dazhou.

"What... what's going on here? These copper coins were made with great difficulty, why did they melt them and make them into other things?"

Fan Zhi explained: "Your Majesty, copper coins are worthless. The reason is that the first emperor Guo Wei used Lei Hong's money all the year round, and used silver for everything, and the court was in high debt, so he didn't continue to make copper coins. After the number of copper coins decreased, it also No one likes to use it. After all, cheap copper coins are very precious in the world, but high-value silver can be seen everywhere. Who would care about copper coins? What's more...Since Master Zongxin was born, Buddha statues are being made everywhere, and copper is becoming more and more popular. The less copper coins are, the less precious they are than Buddha statues, so people would rather melt copper coins to make Buddha statues."

"It's Zongxin again..." Chai Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Well, you Zongxin, you almost killed me last time in Luzhou. It wasn't enough and I wanted to come here again. Copper coins are the currency issued by the imperial court. How can you Such a waste? What kind of Buddha statue is there for a fart?"

In fact, Chai Rong has been holding back this tone. Since the defeat of Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty in Luzhou last time, Chai Rong has never mentioned Zong Xin's plot 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 in the end he fell into Liu Chong's trap. state.

For Zong Xin's hatred, Chai Rong couldn't contain it, and really wanted to send troops to Chang'an to directly destroy the entire Lei Wang Mansion.But it can't be done, it really can't be done... Zong Xin's martial arts skills are outstanding, and his intelligence is extremely high, not to mention that the Leiwang's mansion is far stronger than ordinary princes no matter how poor it is. impossible.

Angry, mad with anger.Originally, he said to swallow this breath and not mention the matter of Luzhou.I didn't expect to see Zong Xin's 'masterpiece' again today. He was tricked by an eminent monk and someone else used the copper coins issued by the court to make Buddha statues. This is simply nonsense.If things go on like this, the copper coins issued by Dazhou will become Buddha statues, and there will be no need to issue copper coins in the future, just issue Buddha statues directly.

"His Majesty……"

"Shut up." Chai Rong said angrily: "You two brought me to see these things, just to disgust me, didn't you? Zong Xin is very powerful, can't I admit it? Last time a small piece of paper in Luzhou The note almost killed me, if it were someone else, I would be able to kill his nine clans, but Zong Xin can’t, I can’t do anything about him, can’t I? Do you have to bring me to see these things?”

Fan Zhi said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, calm down. I just want to tell Your Majesty one thing. The imperial court has not made copper coins for a long time. The late emperor has been trading with silver, so that copper coins are scarce. If things go on like this, it is definitely not a good thing. The most basic copper coins It must become a key currency in circulation, so this matter is the top priority of the Great Zhou... The ministers definitely did not deliberately bring His Majesty to see these things."

Chai Rong said: "Don't you have your mouths? You 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 Zhi, remember it clearly for me, don't think that you are a big brother-in-law of Zong Xin. I was driven into a hurry, so I took off your black hat."

Both Fan Zhi and Wang Pu looked confused, Your Majesty is not feeling well today?Auntie is here?Why do you scold people when you see them?And when Zong Xin was mentioned, His Majesty was very excited and very angry.As if anything related to Zong Xin could provoke him.

All the people around Chai Rong spoke ill of Zong Xin in front of him alone. Even Fan Zhi and Wang Pu had never heard of these things, and thought that the relationship between Chai Rong and Zong Xin was very good.Suddenly... I thought it was Chai Rong who fell ill at the thought of being bald.
