Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 1 The Best Treated Prisoner in History
AD 960

That is to say, the seventh year of Xiande in the Later Zhou Dynasty

Kaifeng City Prison.

There were three people imprisoned in a cell. One of them was holding a chicken leg in his hand and murmuring to himself: "The food in this cell is so good, there is even meat."

"You idiot, that's your meal. After eating this meal, it's time for you to hit the road."

The man was very depressed after hearing this. He saw his roommate on the side holding a leg of lamb and gnawing on it, and asked, "Why do you have a leg of lamb?"

"I was cut into pieces by five horses."

"Oh~, it turns out that the worse the death, the better the food. So... may I ask that person, does he want to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts?"

Looking in the direction of his finger, I saw a prison opposite. The floor was covered with thick and soft silk. On the table was placed the finest ambergris, which was being lit. Bear paws and abalone were placed beside it. , crab, lamb, and other countless delicacies from overseas. There was only one person behind the table, but it was a young man wearing brocade silk and a pearl hat.

The young man looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. He was the only one in Nuo Da's cell. There were actually several extremely beautiful maids around him who were serving him tea, picking up food, massaging him, and even a beauty. The maid knelt behind him and did nothing, just treating it as a soft human flesh cushion for the young man to lean on and feel more comfortable.

And all the jailers in the prison were stunned and knelt respectfully in front of the young man, with flattering expressions on their faces, as if they were bitches, and kept kowtowing: "Young master, please, just... you." Just take a bite, you said you don’t eat, if you lose half a point from hunger, even ten lives of our brothers won’t be enough to kill you.”

In the cell opposite, the prisoner on death row felt that the chicken drumsticks in his hands no longer tasted good. He couldn't help but muttered: "Who is this person? He actually made such a big fuss. Why is he so comfortable even though he is a prisoner?"

The other person couldn't help but sneer when he heard this and said, "Are you comparing yourself to him? What crime did you commit, and what crime did he commit?"

"What is his crime? He is so arrogant?"

"Haha, rebel!"

"Is rebellion so violent?"

"Rebellion is not violent, but if it is accomplished, then it will be the most violent in the world."

"Ah!? Could it be..."

"That's right, that man's eldest brother was Zhao Kuangyin who was inspected in front of the palace. When he was leading troops to go on an expedition, he mutinied in Chenqiao. He was dressed in yellow robes by his subordinates. He was about to lead the troops back to kill him. The people in the palace were confused and ordered people to arrest him. Zhao Dianjian's family members, do you think these jailers dare not to serve people like they serve their ancestors? If they lose even one hair, they may really kill the whole family."

"Oh~, it turns out that's the case. No wonder, it turns out that those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished by the princes."

The young man’s name was Zhao Mei. He was a restaurant owner, but he was beaten to death by Mapo’s husband when he was eating Mapo tofu in his restaurant. Who would have thought that as soon as he closed his eyes or opened them, he would be transported to Zhao Kuangmei’s body? He was the third younger brother of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and he became a little brat who was only 13 years old.

Well, in two days it will be called Zhao Guangmei, and in a few years it will be changed again to Zhao Tingmei.

I don’t know how I came up with this name. I have always heard that women are beautiful. I am a pure man and I don’t do underwear commercials.

Before I could think about what I was going to do after crossing over, I was suddenly caught and imprisoned. When I inquired, I found out that it was Chen Qiao's mutiny.

Everyone knew that his brother was going to be the emperor tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so even though he was in prison, his life was more comfortable than at home, and no one dared to touch him.Zhao Kuangyin had 8 people in his hands at this time, and he himself was indeed the No. 1 general of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Since his debut, he had not suffered a single defeat in more than a hundred battles. Objectively speaking, if only in terms of general talent, Zhao Kuangyin is definitely the best. He is one of the top twenty figures in the entire history of the Qing Dynasty. He has won the hearts of the military and is supported by the soldiers. As the son of a general, he has deep roots in the entire Forbidden Army system.

There are only about 5000 to [-] defenders in the city. Although guard Han Tong is more senior, he has actually done all the work of engineering soldiers in these years, such as repairing the Yellow River, repairing the city, and mostly building offensive or defensive fortifications on the battlefield. , is actually the number one contractor in the Great Zhou Dynasty...

The first general of the Great Zhou Dynasty who commanded 8 people VS the first foreman of the Great Zhou Dynasty who commanded 4000 people. Everyone knew that Han Tong could not win at all. He, the emperor of Zhao Kuangyin, was determined to sit. Beautiful question.

At this juncture, there is a big question mark as to whether the 4000 people in Han Tong's hands will listen to him, not to mention these jailers?They are all officials and even civil servants.

However, Zhao Kuangmei still refused to eat. Instead, she sighed and said, "Prison head, I really can't eat in this prison. How about letting me out?"

The cell leader couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "Young master, you are an imperial prisoner after all. This... but Commander Han personally ordered your arrest. You... are really in trouble for us."

"Huh? Are you feeling embarrassed?"

After saying that, Zhao Kuangmei stood up and walked to the cell leader, quickly pulled out his saber and put it on his neck: "What now? Are you still in trouble?"

"Young master just kills villains, villains... villains too..."

Zhao Kuangmei didn't say anything, but suddenly turned the blade of the knife, and struck the palm of her hand first, causing blood to spurt out. The guards were so frightened that they turned pale and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Prison leader, what's your name?"

"The lower official, Li Mingren, is the sixth-rank warden of Kaifeng Prefecture, nicknamed Li Dazui."

"Li Mingren, most of the opportunities that can really change one's own life, and even the fate of future generations, are only once or twice. Some people don't even get one. If they hesitate even a little, they will miss it."

"Today, the choice is before you. In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution based on the eight hundred death row prisoners and created the prosperous age of Zhenguan. Today, I want to carry out the old deeds of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Are you willing to follow the dragon's footsteps? ?”

After saying that, he put his left hand on the table, raised the knife high, and said: "Either you pledge your allegiance to me and take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make your family extremely rich, even if you die. , with my eldest brother’s benevolence and righteousness, I will treat you and your family well. Or, I will cut off my left hand with a knife now, and when my eldest brother enters the city, he will say that you cut it off. I will only count three times. , think clearly, one!”

"two!"

"three!"

After saying that, without any hesitation, he actually raised the knife high and chopped it on his hand.

Li Mingren was so frightened that he rushed forward, pressed Zhao Kuangmei's hand with his back, and shouted: "I am willing to work hard for you!"

Zhao Kuangmei turned to look at the other jailers: "What about you?"

"I am willing to do my best for you."

"good"
