Chapter 359 0356 [His Royal Highness is not well, His Majesty wants to meditate on you]

After struggling for nearly an hour, the crossing bridge was finally repaired.

Nie Dong was cautious and did not cross the bridge immediately. As usual, he sent a scout battalion to explore the way.

After less than half an hour, the scout came back and reported: "To the Commander-in-Chief, there are no Jin Army ambushes in the surrounding five miles, and the city gates around Yanjing are open. I ventured into the city to investigate, and found that there was no one in the city."

Nie Dong snorted coldly: "You ran pretty fast!"

Huang Kai cursed and said: "Damn it, these Jin people are really thieves. They don't even keep any money or people."

The Jin people went south this time for the purpose of plundering.

Now that the army is defeated, it is naturally impossible to return empty-handed.

Besides, this is not the first time the Jin people have done this kind of thing.

When it was delivered to the Seven Prefectures in the Mountains two years ago, the Jin people directly emptied the land of Youzhou. They didn't even spare the chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle, leaving only a dozen empty cities for Zhao Song.

"Cross the river and enter the city!"

Nie Dong waved his hand and led the army across the river.

After entering Yanjing City, he sent troops to search it.

It was really deserted. All the people who could be taken away were taken away by the Jin people. The old, weak, sick and disabled who could not be taken away were all killed and their bodies were thrown into various wells in the city, polluting the well water.

Not to mention the granaries, not even a grain of rice was left in the rice vats in people's homes.

This damn thing is so cruel!

Everyone looked gloomy.

After regaining consciousness, Nie Dong said coldly: "Let the scout battalion rush to Zhuozhou City and ask the county magistrate to send some food and baggage as soon as possible."

……

……

The fifth day of May.

Han Zhen led the army to Yanjing City.

The once prosperous Xijin Mansion now looks extremely depressed.

Except for the Qingzhou Army wearing black armor, there was not a single commoner in sight.

Riding a war horse all the way to the government office, Han Zhen walked straight into the lobby and sat behind the hall desk with his golden sword.

Looking around at the generals in the lobby, Han Zhen didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point: "We don't have much time left. I only give you ten days to capture the entire Nanjing Road!"

"The last general takes command!"

All the generals clasped their fists and responded loudly.

Ten days seems tight, but in fact it is not difficult.

With the main force of the Jin army escaping, there were not many Jin troops left in Nanjing Road, let alone the Song army.

Two hours later, the four gates of Yanjing City were opened, and generals such as Nie Dong, Liu Qi, Huang Kai, Yue Fei, Yu Jun, and Han Shizhong each led an army.

After leaving the city, they headed in different directions.

While the generals were away on expedition, Han Zhen was not idle and began to organize the Zhao and Song surrender troops in his hands.

After several battles, the number of troops surrendered by Zhao and Song under his command exceeded 30,000.

After excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there were still 13,000 people left.

It is impossible to transform a Song army in ten days.

It’s not just a matter of morale, but more importantly, discipline and physical strength.

Just like a few days ago, the Qingzhou Army led by Nie Dong could still fight bravely despite being hungry for a day, chasing the Jin Army for more than thirty miles.

If it were this group of Song soldiers, they would be exhausted after just a few steps after being hungry for a day.

Nothing else, just because the Qingzhou Army usually eats enough and replenishes fuel and water every now and then.

Han Zhen did not expect the newly formed Song army to have much combat power. They were mainly responsible for the responsibilities of the auxiliary army and could be used as a backup combat force in case of emergency.

……

……

Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo City.

"The Korean thieves defeated the Jin army and captured the Nanjing Road?"

When Song Huizong learned the news, he did not show joy, but panic arose in his heart.

It’s true that Jin people are hungry wolves, but Korean thieves are not good either.

Now that Yanshan Mansion has been taken, I'm afraid it won't be long before they send their troops to capture Hebei.

He didn't believe Han Thief could bear it.

Once Hebei is lost, what about Gyeonggi?

What's even more terrible is that the West Route Army led by Wanyan Zonghan was so powerful that they fought all the way to Delong Mansion, which was only three to four hundred miles away from Kaifeng Mansion.

There are wolves in the west and tigers in the east. Even though hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered around the capital, Song Huizong did not feel safe at all.

These two tigers and wolves are really too tough.

No, there is no way to stay in this capital.

Thinking of this, Song Huizong immediately ordered: "Convene the ministers to discuss matters." Not long after, a group of important ministers came to the hall.

Looking around at the crowd, Song Huizong cleared his throat and said loudly: "I want to go to Haozhou to offer incense and order the prince to supervise the country and handle the government affairs on my behalf."

Haozhou Shangxiang?

As soon as he finished speaking, all the courtiers of His Highness had strange expressions.

Li Gang, Wu Min, Sun Fu and others looked at each other and knew that the time had come.

So, Li Gang strode out of the queue and said loudly: "The current situation is critical, and the country is at the moment of survival. It is understandable that Your Majesty would like to go to Haozhou to offer incense and pray to God to bless the Song Dynasty. But the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the family cannot live without a king." You cannot live without a master for a day. I sincerely request your majesty to place your Zen in the crown prince’s place!”

demise!

These words caused the entire hall to explode.

Li Bangyan was shocked and angry in his heart, and was about to shout loudly when he saw Wu Min, Sun Fu, Zhang Bangchang, Xu Han and other important officials in the court came out one after another.

"I second the proposal!"

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"

Song Huizong stared at Li Gang and others, feeling a biting chill running down the soles of his feet and straight into his brain.

Immediately, he looked at Cai You, Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong and others.

Seeing their expressions of shock and anger, confusion, or hesitation, I couldn't help but feel slightly relieved.

What he fears most is that all the courtiers in the hall are united.

Now it seems that there is only a small amount of "clear water".

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Song Huizong asked with a smile but not a smile: "Is this what you all mean, too?"

Li Bangyan was about to express his loyalty, but was stopped by Song Huizong's look.

Li Gang fired his bow without turning back, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the throne of Zen is related to the country and the country. When the new emperor ascends the throne, our Song Dynasty will definitely take on a new look. The soldiers will be grateful for their kindness and will fight bravely to repel the enemy!"

Song Huizong sneered in his heart, but said on his face: "Okay, I agree!"

Knowing son Moruo father.

What kind of virtues does Zhao Huan have? Does he, the father-in-law, know about it?

Even after he passed the Zen throne, Song Huizong still had the confidence to hold the Song Dynasty firmly in his hands.

In this way, you can enjoy it without having to be disturbed by annoying government affairs. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

what?

Now, it was Li Gang and others' turn to be dumbfounded.

Without him.

Just because the officials agreed so readily, so readily that they felt uneasy.

In their original expectations, they were already prepared for Chen Qian Ton Sword.

For this reason, Li Gang, Wu Min and others consulted ancient books during this period and were fully prepared. As a result, Song Huizong agreed so easily.

After coming back to his senses, Li Gang was so moved that he knelt down on the ground, saluted and bowed, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty is generous, kind, and reasonable. He is truly a blessing to the Song Dynasty."

"My dear, please get up."

Huizong of Song Dynasty supported him with both hands and ordered: "Send the crown prince into the palace."

……

East Palace.

In front of a huge fish pond, Zhao Huan was standing by the pond, holding a handful of fish food in his hand.

Admire the various koi carps in the pond, and occasionally pick up a handful of fish food and throw it into the water.

Seeing the fish competing for food, Zhao Huan smiled.

As the eldest son of Song Huizong and the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan was completely opposite to his father.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was good at playing music, chess, singing, playing, playing and singing, riding horses and cuju, tasting tea and food, and even appreciating antiques.

But Zhao Huan is not interested in these at all. His only hobby is fish farming.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty liked liveliness and luxury. He would have a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days.

Zhao Huan, however, likes to be quiet. He reads books and feeds fish on weekdays, feeling content and contented.

Except for the royal banquets, festivals, and festive banquets that must be attended, Zhao Huan would refuse the rest of the banquets he could. Even if he reluctantly participated, he would have a sullen face and would not be with Song Huizong and others, which disappointed everyone.

Over time, Song Huizong stopped letting him attend banquets.

Therefore, Song Huizong disliked this boring eldest son from the bottom of his heart.

He prefers Yun Wang Kai because Zhao Kai is almost the same as him in appearance, artistic talent, and hobbies.

But in the eyes of Li Gang and Qingliu, Zhao Huan is simply a model of a wise king.

Deng Deng Deng!

Rapid footsteps sounded behind him.

A trace of impatience flashed in Zhao Huan's eyes. He turned around and saw that the person coming was Prince Zhan Shi Geng Nanzhong. He asked patiently: "Why is Geng Zhan Shi so in such a hurry?"

Geng Nanzhong looked anxious and said: "Your Highness, this is bad, Your Majesty wants to meditate on you!"

"what?"

Zhao Huan's expression changed drastically.
