Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 689
The next day, Li Yu led the queen, concubines, princes, palace maids, and eunuchs out of the city to surrender. for survival.

Cao Bin led the soldiers and horses, accepted Li Yu's surrender outside the palace city, and incorporated thousands of imperial guards in the palace.

"Come here, enter the palace and seal the internal affairs treasury of the Li family. All precious items will be registered in the register, and all the servants in the palace will be counted and dismissed."

"Yes!" A lieutenant general took the lead and led 3000 people into the palace first, and began to block the gates and palaces to prevent internal disturbances.

There are still some eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace who have stayed in the palace for half their lives and are unwilling to leave. They chose to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the lake or hanging themselves.

In many cases, these servants of the imperial palace were more virtuous and would rather die than surrender, and could not accept the fate of the Southern Tang Dynasty's demise.

Amid the cries and shouts, Song Jun completely took over the palace.

At this moment, it has nothing to do with Li Yu.

Li Yu sat in the shaft car, walked through Suzaku Street, and the car walked out of the city step by step.

Next, he will enter the Song Army's barracks, and what awaits him is a life of confinement, under surveillance all the time.

Li Yu opened the curtains and looked at the streets outside the window. There were countless people standing there. Some of them burst into tears, and some waved goodbye. The people of Jinling came to see Li Yu off.

"Send it to the official's house."

"Official, go all the way!"

The people in Jinling were still kind, and they did not resent the monarch at this time, and sent them off and parted kindly, even with feelings of reluctance, sadness, and grief.

Seeing those faces, Li Yu couldn't help crying, and when he put down the car curtain, he was already choked up.

"Official, don't be too sad." Empress Da Zhou hugged her youngest son and sat in the car. Although she was also full of tears, she still forced herself to be calm and comforted her husband.

After being captured this time, they will go to Bianjing City of the Great Song Dynasty. Life will be unknown. No one knows when the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will bestow death on such a captured king of a country like them.

"Hey, as the king of a country, the lord of Tang, what have I done all these years? I have only fought a few battles in such a huge territory, and then I was besieged and surrendered out of the city. I am sorry to my ancestors."

Li Yu has a feeling that he knew today and regretted it.

Zhou Ehuang persuaded: "Officials, it's not entirely your fault. My Tang State was powerful 20 years ago, but within ten years, I fought continuously with Wuyue and Fujian, which consumed a lot of money and led to an empty treasury. Before the death of the first emperor, we The national strength of the Tang State has already been declining, and after the official family ascended the throne, it is hard to get back the accumulated accumulation, and there is no power to recover."

Li Yu was well aware of these situations. In the last few years of his father's administration, he emptied the treasury and lost the thirteen states in Jiangbei, which made the Tang State cut in half, and every day was worse than every day.

After Li Yu ascended the throne, there was no way, no ability, to change all this.

Because he is not a virtuous monarch, and he is not good at governing the country and the army, etc., he is doomed to be futile, and can only watch this dynasty go to ruin.

When the convoy left Jinling City, it was only half an hour's drive. Li Yu felt extremely tormented, as if he had walked half his life.

When the convoy entered Da Song's barracks and divided the tents, Li Yu walked into the account in a daze, with a complicated mood and depressed mood, so he hid in the tent and refused to go out.

Jinling City was full of cries. Many people couldn't accept the situation of the fall of Tang Dynasty.

Many ministers stayed behind closed doors, terrified, fearing that the Song army would rush in and snatch their property.

Fortunately, Cao Bin issued an order this time not to disturb the people and not to rob the rich and powerful of their property. There were three chapters in the agreement, which prevented the Jinling City from being looted.

Like Changzhou City and Runzhou City, because Wu Yue soldiers and horses invaded the city and lacked restraint, they robbed, burned, killed and looted the rich and powerful households in the city, causing a lot of casualties and public grievances.

But this time, Cao Bin restrained the Song army and restricted the Wu Yue army, which led to no such tragedy happening.

Jinling Chen Mansion.

Holding Bai Ling, Chen Qiao tremblingly walked towards the hanging beam, ready to die for the country.

Both he and Zhang Ji are the main fighters, and they strongly advocate head-to-head with the Song army. If they fail, they will make an appointment to commit suicide together. Die to die for your country.

"There will always be someone who will take responsibility for the subjugation of the country, leave a little reputation, and defend the last dignity of the Tang country."

After Chen Qiao finished speaking, she resolutely went to die.

But in contrast, Zhang Ji, a member of Zhongshushe, once agreed to die for the country together, but now he hesitates. He feels that it is a pity to die like this at the age of 30. The demise of the Tang Dynasty is the fate of the country. It should be blamed for this.

Therefore, Zhang Bo did not choose to ask himself, but survived.

The Song army took control of Jinling City, and began to notify these ministers according to the roster of Tang officials, packed their bags, prepared to move their family, and returned to the north with the army.

If you don't follow the walker, you will be arrested and imprisoned.

After all, when the country collapsed, these ministers would also be taken away, and together with the royal family, they would become prisoners. It was impossible to let them stay where they were, which would lead to riots.

Some treacherous ministers, if they are notorious, will be taken to the victorious country and beheaded to warn everyone not to be traitorous ministers.

Pan Mei turned around the palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty, felt that the goods received were very large, and her face was happy, she asked: "General Cao, this time we won Miyagi without bloodshed, and protected many palace finances. It is really a credit, thanks to Cao The general saw the right person and used the right strategy."

Cao Bin stroked his beard and smiled: "It wasn't until today that I breathed a sigh of relief and finally completed the task assigned by the official. It's a pity that I didn't keep that talented Su Chen."

Pan Mei comforted: "It's his bad luck. He should have died young. We can't blame General Cao. Besides, we were far away in Caishiji at that time, and the whole house had something to do with this matter. Why should General Cao blame himself?"

"That's true." Cao Bin nodded, but he felt a little pity that he didn't see the talented Su Chen.

Pan Mei asked: "General Cao, Li Yu and others have been detained in the barracks. In the past two days, the ministers of the Tang Kingdom will also be taken away according to the roster. When do you plan to send them to Bianjing?"

Cao Bin thought for a while, and said: "The sooner the better, so as not to cause trouble, in three days, the first batch of people will be sent to Bianjing, and the follow-up dignitaries and wealthy households can be divided into the second batch and the second batch." Three batches were moved to Bianjing City."

Pan Mei nodded and said, "Well, the officials are also waiting for us to send Li Yu and others back to appease the Quartet. Without the Tang court, it will be easy to take over the dozen or so counties in the south."

Cao Bin warned: "This matter needs to be carefully planned. It must not trigger local civil uprisings, let alone disturb the people, and increase the difficulty for us to occupy the entire territory of the Tang Kingdom. After all, it is easy to conquer. We must change the minds of the people and completely submit to them. , it will take some time."
