Chapter 384 0380 [Who else will die for their country? 】

Shi Wenhui hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty just acted too hastily. Li Bangyan and Cai You surrendered. They should be treated politely and kindly, so as to set an example. After a while, it will not be too late to find a reason to punish them."

Han Zhen said calmly: "Can't I capture this imperial city?"

"Breaking the imperial city is naturally easy."

Shi Wenhui shook his head and explained: "What I mean is that if those who surrender are punished, the officials of Zhao and Song Dynasty may have a grudge, and everyone will be like Li Gang in the future."

"I understand what you said, but..."

Han Zhen changed his words and said loudly: "But it cannot be established without destroying it. Looking at ancient and modern times, there is no reason to change dynasties without bloodshed. Only by completely smashing it can we rebuild as we like, otherwise it will be very difficult. Only Zhao Song is an outlier. , more than a hundred years ago, Zhao Da easily took away the world from the orphans and widowers of the Chai family, and he had to bear the corresponding price. All the ills of Zhao and Song were doomed from the moment Zhao Da established the country."

"If I want the imperial city, my soldiers will use their steel knives to get it, instead of relying on two sycophants. After the first time, there will be a second and a third time. Even if Zhao and Song were destroyed in the end, why not do it again? A Zhao Song?"

It only took Zhao Kuangyin two days to conquer the world, and only one person died in the entire Chen Qiao mutiny.

That was Han Tong, the deputy commander of the Ma Bu Army, the bodyguard of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

Fast is fast, easy and really easy.

But the price is also heavy.

Zhao Song is just Hou Zhou with a different name.

All the ills of the later Zhou Dynasty were not lacking in Zhao and Song Dynasties, and as the new nobles headed by Zhao Da came to power, countless ills were added.

Hearing this, Shi Wenhui bowed down to receive the lesson: "Your Majesty is teaching me that I am not thoughtful enough."

These words made him understand the gap between himself and the official family.

"Your Majesty is wise."

A hint of admiration and relief flashed in Xie Ding's eyes.

To be honest, he was born into an official family and had such a vision, which really shocked him.

Only with such vision and courage can he have the image of a heroic leader.

……

"Han Zhen led his troops into the imperial city!"

This news reached Yanfu Hall, and the officials looked horrified.

Wu Min looked nervous and said: "Why so fast?"

Qingzhou's weapons were fierce, but they did not hear the loud explosion of the weapons.

One of the imperial guards replied: "Xianggong Li and Xianggong Cai, holding His Majesty's decree, transferred all the imperial troops to Donghua Gate."

His Majesty's decree?

Everyone was stunned, and then Sun Fu yelled: "Li Bangyan and Cai You, these two traitors, how dare you falsely pass on the imperial edict and turn yourself into a traitor!"

"These two thieves!"

Bai Shi was so angry that he trembled all over and cursed loudly.

He was not angry at the two of them for turning into thieves, but angry at them for not taking him with them because they were well-versed.

Zhang Bangchang asked: "Where is your Majesty?"

"I don't know."

The Imperial Guard shook his head.

At this moment, a crisp sound of horse hooves came from outside.

All the courtiers looked up and saw a group of cavalry coming through the palace gate, with more than two thousand Xuanjia troops behind them.

Han Zhen is here!

For a moment, everyone held their breath and felt anxious, not knowing what fate would await them.

Arriving in front of Yanfu Palace, Han Zhen got off his horse and strode into Yanfu Palace surrounded by his guards.

The intimidating evil aura hit their faces, making all the courtiers find it difficult to breathe. They lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at him.

He quickly climbed up to the high hall and looked at the dragon chair in front of him. Han Zhen did not sit down, but turned around to look at His Highness and the others.

Some people wanted to kneel down and surrender, but they couldn't lose face in front of everyone.

Suddenly, a question rang out in the main hall: "Han Zhen, where is my Majesty the Song Dynasty?"

The person who spoke was none other than Sun Fu.

At this moment, he stared at Han Zhen with an angry look.

Han Zhen spoke slowly: "Calculating the time, Zhao Huan has probably escaped from the city."

"Escape from the city?"

Sun Fu was stunned. He never expected to get such an answer.

After coming back to his senses, Sun Fu said angrily: "That's nonsense. Your Majesty has been in the inner confinement since last night. How can you escape from the city?"

Xie Ding said in a deep voice: "Li Bangyan and Cai You forged imperial edicts and planned to kidnap Emperor Zhao Song, but they did not find Emperor Zhao Song in the East Palace. Li Bangyan said that when the Emperor Zhao Song was carrying out construction projects, he built a There are several secret passages, so it is inferred that Emperor Zhao and Song Dynasty had already escaped from the secret passage."    "This..."

Sun Fu was immediately speechless.

He might not believe what others said, but when it came from Xie Ding's mouth, he still believed it.

Besides, His Majesty has a history of escaping twice before, so escaping through a secret passage is reasonable.

Upon learning that Zhao Huan had escaped last night, there was an uproar in the hall.

All the courtiers had different expressions. Fortunately for them, they stayed here all night and the emperor actually escaped first.

Sun Fu asked again: "Where is Li Gang?"

Xie Ding replied: "Brother Bo Ji had a strong temper and committed suicide for his country!"

If Sun Fu was struck by lightning, he immediately laughed miserably: "The city of Tokyo was destroyed, and Bo Ji died for his country. How can I, Sun Fu, have the dignity to survive in this world."

"Brother Boye!"

Xie Ding's expression changed, and he was about to stop him, but was still a step too late.

As soon as Sun Fu said this, he slammed his head against the pillar of the hall.

But after hearing a muffled sound, he rolled his eyes and fell straight down.

Xie Ding stepped forward, stretched out his hand to explore under his nose, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was still breathing.

Han Zhen watched this scene with great interest, and took a moment to say: "If anyone else wants to die for the country, don't hit the pillar. Let me know, and my soldiers can do it for you!"

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards who followed him into the palace took out the steel knives from their waists, and kept looking at the Zhao and Song court officials with murderous eyes.

There was silence in the main hall, and everyone looked frightened.

After a moment, He Li stood up bravely and sighed: "County Magistrate Han, please don't commit more murderous crimes."

Han Zhen asked: "Am I, Han Zhen, a murderous person in your eyes?"

"Of course not."

He Li replied: "People in the capital are in panic at the moment. The people have been trapped for many days, lack of coal and food, and many people have starved to death. County Magistrate Han should appease the people and provide relief to the poor."

Han Zhen smiled slightly, and there was no doubt in his tone: "In that case, you will temporarily take over the post of Kaifeng Governor."

"This……"

He Li was about to refuse, but saw Wu Min and others winking at him.

Seeing this, He Li had no choice but to respond: "I accept your order."

He naturally knew what Wu Min and others meant. Although traitors were rampant in the court, there was still some cleanliness.

It would be a pity if they were killed by a group of people.

What's more, He Li served under Han Zhen and was able to protect the queens and concubines in the harem from humiliation.

After all, they were Zhao Song's ministers. Even if the two emperors were unreliable, they still had to save some face for Zhao Song.

In this way, it will not be in vain for the emperor and his ministers.

Han Zhen asked: "Do you have any officials to recommend?"

"Li Ruoshui, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Wu Min, the minister of the sect, were originally assigned to Xu Han, the middle minister, and Chen Dong, the imperial student..."

After He Li pondered for a while, he spoke eloquently to more than a dozen people.

Xie Ding nodded slightly towards Han Zhen, indicating that these people were available.

Currently, only Li Ruoshui and Wu Min are present. The rest are either resigned and at home, or are not of sufficient rank to enter the palace.

Han Zhen ordered: "Can you please He Fuyin to bring the others into the palace?"

"I'll go right away."

He Li responded.

Han Zhen arranged for a team of personal guards to escort him, otherwise he would definitely be captured by the Qingzhou Army outside the imperial city alone.

After He Li left, Han Zhen said loudly: "I am not a murderous person."

call!

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the hall could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Han Zhen's next words made everyone feel relieved, but they were worried again: "Everyone is temporarily detained in the imperial city and subject to interrogation. Those who are corrupt and prey on the common people will be beheaded in public, and their property will be confiscated. Dispatched to Nanjing Road!"

The courtiers in the main hall are all above the fifth rank, and most of them have shit on their butts.

When I heard that my family property would be confiscated, it was even more uncomfortable than if my own father died.

Wu Min and others couldn't wait to clap their hands and cheer.

Such as Li Bangyan, Cai You, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang... these treacherous people, they have long wanted to kill them.
