Chapter 637 The Odd Take of Bianliang City ([-]) (Subscribe!)
...

The Jinren asked for so many people and things in one day, and it was obviously impossible to send all of them to the Jinren in one day.

The Jin people also understand this.

Therefore, the Jin people demanded that Zhao Ji, Zhao Chen, and all the members of the Zhao family be sent out of the city first-the Jin people did this because they were afraid of side effects. It can't afford to turn too many waves.

Originally, under the coercion of Fan Qiong's troops, the matter went smoothly. People from the Zhao family, including Zhao's clan relatives (such as collateral, son-in-law, cousins, and wives), were all gathered together.

But later, Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Mo Yu and others checked, and there were two people missing, two very important people-the empress Zhu Lian and the crown prince Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen was asked by Wanyan Zonghan by name, because he is the legal heir of Zhao Song Jiangshan.

As for Empress Zhu Lian, that is also the beauty that Jin people have coveted for a long time, not to mention that she is still an empress with a special status.

If these two people are not sent to the golden man, then the golden man must slaughter the city.

Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Mo Yu and others were in a hurry and searched around quickly, trying to find Zhu Lian and Zhao Chen quickly.

But Wang Shiyong and others sent people to search the palace several times, but they couldn't find Zhu Lian and Zhao Chen.

At this time, the sky was about to get dark, and it was almost time for Shenshi required by the Jinren.

There is no way, Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Mo Yu and others can only ask Fan Qiong to escort Zhao Ji and others out of the city first, and then find an opportunity to explain to the Jin people that Zhu Lian and Zhao Chen are missing, and promise to find them within two days There are two mothers and sons (in fact, there are three mothers and sons, and Princess Roujia, the daughter of Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian, is also missing together).

In addition, in order to prevent the royal man from killing the royal woman because he did not want to see the royal woman humiliated (this is very common in history), Wang Shiyong and others also detained the royal man and woman separately—the royal man’s carriage was in front, The royal woman's carriage is behind.

When the people in the city saw so many royal cars heading towards Nanxun Gate, they didn't know what happened at first.

It was only later that I heard some rumors—this matter was too big and many people knew about it, so it was impossible to completely conceal it.

Downstairs in the west corner, two commoners wanted to stop Zhao Ji's bamboo sedan chair, but they didn't have time.

After a while, they saw King Yan (Zhao Ji's younger brother Zhao Yu) coming on horseback who was walking at the back of the royal men, and stopped them, saying, "All the relatives of the king's family are going. What about the people in this city? Why not?" Leave one person to save the country."

King Yan replied in tears: "Da Jin wants me, what should I do?"

The two said: "In fact, the people are willing to live and die with the king."

After Fan Qiong learned of this situation, he ordered that the two common people be arrested and beheaded immediately.

After the two men made a fuss, the convoy was immediately divided into two teams.

The front team, that is, the carriages of the royal men (including those of the clan), had already traveled more than a mile.

The rear team, that is, the carriages of the royal women (including those of the clan), were blocked here and could not move forward.

King Yan didn't dare to offend Fan Qiong, the evil star, so he hurried forward on his horse.

Under Fan Qiong's order, Empress Dowager Zheng's carriage took the lead, leading the mighty royal women's carriage team to chase the royal men's carriage team ahead.

Soon after Shenshi and Youshi, Mo Chou, who was in a hurry, finally rushed to Nanxun's gate with Zhao Ji's carriage.

At this time, Nanxun Gate was closed.

Zhao Ji stepped out of the bamboo sedan chair, and after a while, the door opened.

Soon, the iron cavalry of the Jinren came out of the Wengcheng, and then surrounded Zhao Ji and went to Qingcheng.

As soon as Zhao Ji entered the Jin Army barracks, he felt that the situation was not good, so he stamped his feet and shouted: "The incident has happened!"

Zhao Ji immediately ordered his followers to quickly fetch the saber, and then prepared to commit suicide.

It's a pity that Zhao Ji's saber was searched away by Jin Ren long ago.

At this time, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang sat in the Duancheng Hall and waited for Zhao Ji—Wanyan Zonghan sat on the north side, facing south.Wanyan Zongwang sat on the east side, facing west.They arranged for Zhao Ji to sit on the west side, facing east.

As soon as Zhao Ji entered the door, he asked sharply: "You said that the first emperor made great achievements in the Song Dynasty? On the contrary, I have made great achievements in you! If the Liao Dynasty cut me down, I would be willing. Last year, you established a teacher, and I passed on the throne to the heir. Cut the city and reward the army, and you will return it. Now that the army is proclaiming that the heir is untrustworthy, have you ever made an oath? You don't believe it, but Xiao Qing, Wang Rui and others taught you to do it. You can call Xiao Qing and others to come with me Face-to-face testimony, I am not afraid of death!"

Both Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang remained silent, and Xiao Qing and others did not come out either.

Zhao Ji sat down for a while, then got up again and went out. He went under the east corridor and met Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan stepped forward to support Zhao Ji and wept endlessly, and couldn't stop for a long time.

Zhao Ji said sadly: "If you listen to your father, you will not suffer today's disaster!"

While Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang and other Jin people were admiring the tragedy directed by them, someone rushed into the hall in a hurry, and immediately reported: "Prime Minister, Marshal, something is wrong, Liangshan Army entered Bianliang The city is gone!"

……

The hour hand moves forward two hours.

Since breaking the outer city of Bianliang City, the Jin Army has built a large number of fortifications such as gun mounts and Piliba on the four walls of the city to strengthen the military control of Tokyo City. Living above the city wall is to prevent riots in the city and then take back Bianliang City.

Bai Sheng, originally a cook in a restaurant in Bianliang City, is especially good at cooking mutton.

The mutton cooked by Bai Sheng is very special. No extra ingredients are used. Just a handful of salt can make the mutton fresh and tender.

Later, Puliyan (Jurchen language, meaning the head of fifty households) guarding the section in the southwest corner accidentally ate the mutton cooked by Bai Sheng, and immediately realized that it was the boiled mutton from his hometown. Bai Sheng and several of Bai Sheng's young apprentices were tied up to serve as food soldiers for them.

At first, the Jinren were worried about Bai Sheng. Every time Bai Sheng cooked beef and mutton, he asked Bai Sheng and Bai Sheng's apprentices to try it first (it has been like this until now).

Slowly, the Jinren discovered that Bai Sheng and the others had no problem, as long as they gave Bai Sheng and the others some leftovers every day, they would cook the meat well for them.

Today is an important day, the day when the Zhao and Song Dynasties fell, and history will remember today.

but--

For ordinary Jurchen soldiers, no matter how important this day is, they still have to eat, right?
Therefore, as usual, Bai Sheng and his apprentices cooked more than a dozen pots of fragrant mutton soup for these Jurchens, and baked fluffy and soft pancakes for these Jurchens.

Under the supervision of the Chief Jurchen, some of Bai Sheng and his apprentices drank some mutton soup, and some ate some flatbread.

After two quarters of an hour, when Bai Sheng and his disciples were fine, the Jurchen chief asked Bai Sheng and his disciples to distribute the mutton soup and flatbread to the Jurchen warriors.

About half an hour later, the Jurchen warriors began to feel dizzy, and then fell to the ground with a "bang".

Seeing this, Bai Sheng's apprentices burst out laughing and said, "That's true! That's true! That's true!"

The three or two hundred Jurchen warriors on this section of the city wall fell to the ground amidst the sound of "Falling"...
