Monument Yangmen

Chapter 839 History is always strikingly similar

"Minister... Zhao Defang... thank the emperor for his kindness..."

When Zhao Defang bowed his head to the ground in humiliation, gritted his teeth and said this sentence, everything changed.

All the civil servants of the Song Dynasty kowtowed to the ground and bowed their heads to the new emperor.

The faces of all the officials of the Yan Kingdom were filled with smiles that could not be concealed.

History has opened a new chapter.

The era belonging to the Zhao Song Dynasty has gone forever since then, and the era belonging to the Yang Yan Dynasty has kicked off.

Yang Qi was not at all excited, he waved his sleeves flatly, and said flatly: "Show the world!"

Yang Qi at this moment is like becoming a god overnight.

The mouth contains the constitution of heaven, and the words follow the law.

Without anyone's reminder, all the officials bowed their heads in front of him.

"promise!"

The news of Song's surrender was quickly spread.

After the world knew about this, there was an uproar.

For some people in the Song Kingdom, they didn't know what happened, and the sky above them changed.

Some are happy, some are sad.

The ones who rejoice are naturally the Yan people.

What is sad is everyone except the Yan people.

The emergence of a huge country like the scorching sun is destined to have countless small countries, which will melt like white snow under its rays and become victims of its display of power.

Zhao Defang stayed in Jinling for three days.

On the third day.

Yang Qi held a simple but grand canonization ceremony for Zhao Defang.

When the Chuanguo Yuxi inscribed with the inscription "Designed by the Heavens, Longevity and Prosperity" appeared in Yang Qi's hands, it really shocked everyone who didn't know it.

Yang Qi affixed this jade seal on the imperial edict to God at the heavenly sacrifice ceremony that canonized Zhao Defang.

It marks that Song State surrendered to Yan State, and there is no example of change.

After Zhao Defang was canonized, Yang Qi asked a group of civil servants of Yan State headed by Zhao Pu to calculate and check the troops of Song State.

And it gives the number of abolished and retained places.

At the same time, consultations were also held on future exchanges and trade between the two countries.

Zhao Defang pinched her nose and admitted all of this.

Because there is nothing he can do if he doesn't recognize it.

As a submissive person, it is already a great favor for Yang Qi to still allow him to retain the existence of the Song Dynasty. In other respects, he has no power to fight for at all.

More importantly, under the calculations of many smart people headed by Zhao Pu and Lu Duan, the officials of the Song Dynasty were not enough.

He was hit by Zhao Pu and Lu Duan in mixed doubles, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

In the end, in order to implement the New Deal formulated by Song and Yan.

After Yang Qi discussed carefully with Zhao Pu and others, it was finally decided that Chen Yao would move from the left to Song State to serve as the Minister of Supervision of Yan State in Song Dynasty.

After everything has been discussed.

This war against the Song Kingdom has also come to an end.

Because of this war, Song State lost its power and humiliated the country, ceded land and paid compensation, and lost the throne.

In this war, the country of Yan was reborn from nirvana.

The State of Yan occupied nearly half of the territory of the State of Song, and through this part of the territory of the State of Song, it successfully connected the two countries of Yan and Nan, which were previously separated.

After discussing with the ministers, Yang Qi canceled the title of the Southern Kingdom.

Since then, there has been no southern country.

In the world, there is only one extremely powerful Yan Kingdom with a vast territory.

Yan Guo also leapt to become the only overlord on this land.

Except for the newly-built Dali Kingdom and Beiliang Country, the Yan Kingdom almost beat up the surrounding neighbors one by one.

So far, no dissatisfaction.

……

When Zhao Defang took the imperial edict that canonized him and returned to the Song Kingdom.

Yang Qi also ordered Zhao Pu to take the edict signed by him and Zhao Defang, and go to Cangzhou City to persuade Shi Shouxin to surrender.

After many wars, the city of Cangzhou appeared to be very depressed.

Under the four fields, apart from the soldiers, there are only dead leaves blown up by the autumn wind.

When Yang Qi was going to Jiangning Mansion, in order to prevent Shi Shouxin from making trouble behind his back, he ordered an army of tens of thousands to completely siege Cangzhou City.

In a land of hundreds of miles, if there is no military order, not even a bird can fly in.

Shi Shouxin seemed to know that he was not Yang Qi's opponent, and he had no intention of going out of the city to cause chaos, but just stayed in Cangzhou City, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court.

For Shi Shouxin, a veteran general, the defense of the Yan army outside the city was indeed tight.

It is very difficult to break through from inside the city.

But if there is a soldier and horse that can cooperate with him and attack from inside and outside.

He is confident that he can easily defeat the Yan army outside the city.

In the city of Cangzhou.

Only half of the City Lord's Mansion was left after being bombed by the artillery.

Shi Shouxin put on a sweat towel and half-lyed on the soft couch.

After days of exhaustion, Shi Shouxin caught some wind and cold.

For an elderly man like him, wind-cold is a serious illness.

"Grandpa... eat porridge..."

The grandson of Shi's patriarch came to Shi Shouxin with a bowl of gruel, and carefully helped him to sit up.

The soup spoon is stirred in the porridge bowl, so that the hot porridge cools down slowly.

A spoonful of porridge was filled and brought to Shi Shouxin's mouth.

Shi Shouxin opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. When Shi's parents and grandson were about to feed him the second spoonful, Shi Shouxin stopped him.

Chewing the few rice grains in his mouth carefully.

Shi Shouxin frowned, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is there no food?"

Shi's grandson hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

Shi Shouxinchang sighed, and sighed: "How long can the food in the city last?"

Shi's grandson hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "There will be no food until today..."

Shi Shouxin clenched his fists subconsciously.

Cangzhou City is now an isolated city.

Shi Shouxin knows better than anyone what will happen to the isolated city if there is no food.

Because he had experienced this scene when he was trapped in Yuguan by the Liao people.

The sinister side of human nature will be magnified infinitely at that time.

I dare not recall everything that happened in Yuguan in the past.

Shi Shouxin suddenly grabbed the arm of Shi's patriarch and grandson, and growled, "Have the reinforcements from the imperial court arrived yet?"

Shi's grandson shook his head.

After hesitating for a moment, the grandson of the Shi family said in a low voice: "It seems that more than a month has passed. If the reinforcements from the court can arrive, they will arrive early. Now that there is no shadow of the reinforcements from the court, I'm afraid..."

"To shut up!"

Shi Shouxin let out a low growl.

He reprimanded his eldest grandson in a cold voice, "At this time, we must not criticize the imperial court. Our soldiers and horses here are the only elite imperial guards left in the imperial court, and they are also the last elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty. It is impossible for the imperial court to abandon these soldiers and horses.

Unless...unless..."

At this point, Shi Shouxin couldn't continue.

Because he felt that the possibility that he thought of in his mind would never happen.

"Send down the order to search for all the grains of the people, kill the army horses, and use them as army grains."

"No~"

Cangzhou City was raided by Han Qiong long before Shi Shouxin arrived.

How could Shi Shouxin find food from the folks now?

As for the military horses in the army, there are quite a few, but it's okay to eat them occasionally, and they can't really be used as food all the time.

A large part of the army is still hungry.

Even so, however, they did not give up hope.

They always believed that the imperial court would send reinforcements.

Time passed slowly.

The Song army in Cangzhou City did not wait for Song's reinforcements.

Instead, he waited for the envoy of Yan State.

When the white-haired envoy from the Kingdom of Yan stepped into Cangzhou City, everyone who knew the old man was stunned.

"Zhao Pu?!"

They never thought of it.

The envoy of Yan State was actually the most powerful prime minister of Song State in the past.

For a moment, their minds were as chaotic as if they were stuffed with a swarm of bees.

same.

After Shi Shouxin got the news, he couldn't believe it.

Regardless of the sweat towel on his forehead slipping off, he stumbled down from the soft couch, grabbed his eldest grandson's arm, and shouted in astonishment: "You said the envoy of the Yan Kingdom is Zhao Pu? That veteran of the Three Dynasties?"

Shi's grandson gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Impossible! It's impossible!"

Shi Shouxin shook his head like a rattle.

But when Zhao Pu really stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, he believed it if he didn't believe it.

After seeing Zhao Pu, Shi Shouxin didn't care about Zhao Pu's purpose of this trip at all. Like an angry tiger, he threw himself in front of Zhao Pu and asked angrily, "Zhao Pu, why did you become a servant of Yan? Tell me, how did you become Yan Chen?"

Zhao Pu let Shi Shouxin hold him, and said flatly: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in. You and I have been colleagues for many years. You should know me, Zhao Pu."

Shi Shouxin held Zhao Pu tightly, and asked sternly, "Do you know what you are doing? Da Song is sorry for you in that way. Why did you betray Da Song?

Are you doing this right to my elder brother?
My elder brother treats you well.

Back then you made huge fortunes, and my eldest brother was nothing more than your aspect, but he didn't do any real harm to you.

Even retained your official title.

He was so benevolent to you, yet you betrayed him! "

Zhao Pu stared at Shi Shouxin closely, and said with a sneer, "Shi Shouxin, don't say everything so righteously. Back then, I, Zhao Pu, worked so hard for your elder brother's imperial career, that it can be considered that I did my best.

But what about him?

Before ascending to the throne of God, he promised me the position of prime minister, but after ascending to the throne of God, he gave the position of prime minister to others.

He pretended to win over a group of old ministers of Chai Zhou, why did he make me sacrifice?
And you, talk about greedy ink.

You are far more greedy than the old man.

The old man is just begging for some small money from officials from all over the country.

what about you?
After you were knighted, you have owned a lot of fertile land.

But you are not satisfied yet.

Not only invaded other people's fertile land, but also relied on his own power to control nearly half of the business in Bianjing.

It rakes in millions of dollars every year.

In terms of greed for money, this old man is nothing compared to you.

You actually have the face to talk about this old man? "

"Humph!"

After Zhao Pu snorted coldly, he said disdainfully, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you today. Shi Shouxin obeys orders!"

Shi Shouxin immediately roared: "You are a traitor, what qualifications do you have to declare to this old man?"

Zhao Pu smiled coldly, and said in a low voice: "I was almost mad at you just now, but I forgot to tell you. A few days ago, Emperor Zhao Defang of the Great Song Dynasty went to Jinling City in person to bow down to His Majesty Emperor Yan.

Since then, there has been no Great Song Dynasty in the world, only Great Yan.

Since then, there is no Song Emperor in the world, only Yan Emperor.

......"

"boom!"

Shi Shouxin felt a thunder blast in his mind.

a bolt from the blue.

incredible.

He stared blankly, staring forward in a daze, and could not hear any other sounds except the buzzing in his head.

He didn't catch a word of what Zhao Pu said later.

The whites of his eyes slowly floated up, Shi Shouxin tilted his head and passed out.

He really couldn't accept this reality.

If Shi's parents and grandsons hadn't reacted in time, Shi Shouxin might have fallen to the ground.

Seeing Shi Shouxin faint.

Zhao Pu no longer had the cynicism just now, but a helpless exclamation instead.

"Hey……"

Zhao Pu told the grandson of Shi's parents: "Help your grandfather to rest, and send someone to take care of him. Then you can take the order on his behalf."

The grandson of Shi's patriarch supported Shi Shouxin to lie down, turned his head to look at Zhao Pu, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Zhao, is he trying to make our Shi family a traitor?"

"traitor?"

Zhao Pu laughed mockingly and said, "The King of Song personally made the decree. As the subjects of Song, do you want to disobey the decree?"

Shi's grandson's complexion changed several times in an instant.

He didn't know how to deal with it.

Zhao Pu persuaded from the side: "Compared to the Yang family back then, your Shi family is much better now. When the Yang family was forced to surrender to the Song Dynasty, it was also ordered by the monarch he was loyal to.

At that time, the Taiyuan Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty had been conquered by the Song army, and even all the members of the Northern Han royal family were captured by the Song State.

There is no king above and no people below.

At that time, there were only [-] Volcanic Army left in the Yang family.

They are like a group of lonely ghosts with no home and no country, wandering in the Taihang Mountains.

Facing the will of the Northern Han ruler who had already surrendered to Song, they had no choice.

But your Shi family is different.

Although Song Guo bowed his head to Yan Guo.

However, His Majesty was kind and did not annex Song State at once, but left half of Song State's territory.

You still have a home to go back to. "

After a pause, Zhao Pu said again: "More importantly, you have to think about your grandfather. On the surface, he looks smooth and greedy, but in fact he is the most loyal one among the ten brothers of the former Yishe.

The state of Song has now gone to the title of emperor and has become a vassal state.

This was a big blow to him, the former founder of Song Dynasty.

Rather than wait until he wakes up to deal with this matter, he will be pissed off.

Why don't you handle it on his behalf, and he can still survive. "

Zhao Pu's words can be said to be heart-to-heart.

He clearly analyzed all the pros and cons to Shi's parents and grandsons.

The grandson of Shi's parents hesitated for a long time, then looked back at Shi Shouxin who was lying on the soft couch with a pale face and weak breath.

He gritted his teeth and nodded.

With Shi's parents and grandsons taking over the imperial edict instead of Shi Shouxin.

The contents of the imperial decree also spread throughout the entire city of Cangzhou in an instant.

After the soldiers of the Forbidden Army in Cangzhou City heard about it.

crazy.

They shouted and roared in the city at the top of their lungs.

They never thought of it.

The country they fought with their lives to protect surrendered to the enemy so easily.

"what!"

"Dark Lord!"

"Fun Lord, you must die!"

"Hahahaha... This is the Da Song I defend... Hahaha..."

"..."

Some of the strong-tempered Forbidden Army officers and soldiers were either insane or insane or crazy.

They ended their lives in the most tragic way.
