The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 12 Xuande Tower was granted the title of Marquis

The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Xuanhe.

Liang Wanping, the former military commander of the Mighty Army, was killed at his residence, and his body soaked in the royal wine jar given to him by the government all night!
When he was found and fished out the next day, he was smelling of wine!

Like a good piece of bacon!

When King Shiyong, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, reported the matter in accordance with the procedures, Zhao Fujin was filled with grief and anger, and Long Yan was furious: "I didn't expect that there were spies from the Jin Kingdom in my city of Kaifeng! These barbarians are so deceiving!"

Wang Shiyong was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself that this case hadn't been solved yet. Why did the officials insist that it was a Jin Guo spy?
But seeing Zhao Fujin's face full of grief and anger, Wang Shiyong did not dare to say anything. He could only follow Zhao Fujin's words and said: "Then I will inform the Imperial City Department to investigate the case thoroughly!"

Zhao Fujin held his forehead with one hand and waved the other hand gently: "Forget it, the most important thing now is to fully cooperate with Li Gang to do a good job in city defense. Don't be distracted by other things. This matter will not be dealt with until the golden thief is defeated." It’s not too late to check!”

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Zhao Fujin suddenly appeared in Xuande Tower wearing a red cloak and accompanied by the guards of the Imperial City Department.

A large number of Kaifeng people immediately gathered outside Xuande Gate, looking up at the empress who ruled the world. Some were shocked by her stunning beauty, some marveled at her sacred majesty, and more people lowered their heads and whispered.

"It is rumored that the Supreme Emperor's Zen position was given to an empress. It seems to be true!"

"Can this female official be able to defend Kaifeng City?"

"What happened to the female official's family? Didn't the Tang Dynasty still have Wu Zetian? Didn't the whole world surrender and all nations come to court?"

Fortunately, it was the Song Dynasty, and there were many opportunities for women to come forward. There were also many female proprietors of restaurants and tea shops in Kaifeng City, and there were more women who did odd jobs outside to support the family. There was also the precedent of the empress Zetian in the previous dynasty, so the people's acceptance She is still very tall, and I don't think there is anything wrong with her because she is a female official.

Not long after, after hearing that the empress suddenly arrived at Xuande Tower, all the civil and military officials and the imperial troops stationed in Kaifeng City also rushed over!
Because he was not accompanied by the imperial edict, he could not enter Xuande Gate, so he could only gather outside Xuande Gate with the people!
The imperial street, which was originally more than seventy feet wide, was now so crowded that there was no room to stand. Some people even climbed up to the eaves of the shops on both sides of the imperial street, wanting to hear about the newly succeeded female official. , what on earth should I say!
Seeing that the people had almost gathered, Zhao Fujin put his hands on the wall and said loudly: "The gold thieves betrayed their alliance and raised their troops to invade south. I am appointed by God to protect the people in Kaifeng City in times of crisis and will never make peace with the gold thieves!" "

As soon as you open your mouth, you set the tone.Then he detailed the crimes of the Jin Kingdom: "Golden thieves are like locusts, they move like wolves, slaughtering people wherever they go, robbing civilian girls, robbing wealth and greed, and destroying lives. In front of them, there is the hell on earth in Liao Kingdom, where three-year-old children are divided into After eating it, the people of Yanyun were led to the barren northern land like cattle and horses. Now they are greedy for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and intend to loot Kaifeng. I will not agree! The officials of the court will not agree! I, the people of the Song Dynasty, also Never agree!"

After saying this, I was just here to see what kind of melon-eater the new official raised, but my emotions were instantly ignited!

I don’t know who shouted in the crowd: “When people are in the city, they will be alive; when they are dead, the city will be dead!”

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians followed and shouted in unison: "If people are in the city, they will be there! If people die, the city will die! If people are in the city, there will be people! If people die, the city will die!"

The roar of thousands of people was deafening and could be clearly heard throughout Kaifeng City!
The laborers and soldiers who were repairing and strengthening the city defenses in the outer city were frightened by the thunderous roar and put down their work, looking far towards the inner city.Some officials who were still working in the yamen and had not gathered in front of Xuande Gate put down their documents one after another, walked out of the room, came to the courtyard, and looked in the direction of Xuande Gate.

In the Longde Palace in the inner garden, Zhao Huan ran two steps quickly, opened the palace door, and pointed in the direction of Xuande Gate: "Father, listen!"

Emperor Daojun put his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the door with narrowed eyes. He was frightened by the roars and asked tremblingly: "Son, are the Jin Army coming?"

Zhao Heng was stunned: "Can't it? So fast? Father, when should we leave!"

Facts have proved that a man without a seed cannot be brought in anyway!
After the shouting stopped, Zhao Fujin sighed: "The spies of the gold thieves have infiltrated into Kaifeng City. Last night, these thieves killed Liang Wanping, the mighty army commander, at his home. Liang Wanping was loyal to the emperor, patriotic, brave and unparalleled. Previously, we led our mighty army of the Song Dynasty to guard the natural chasm of the Yellow River. The gold thief who was blocked could not move even half a step forward. The gold thief could not fight head-on, but he resorted to such despicable methods. It is unbearable! The hatred of this family and country , do you want to repay it?”

"Vengeance! Revenge! Revenge!"

Except for a bald monk in military uniform who looked confused, everyone else in the crowd shouted along at the top of their lungs!

"Some people say that our generals in the Song Dynasty have no talent and will collapse at the first touch! I don't believe it! Some people say that our generals in the Song Dynasty have no aspirations in life and will die without a name. I don't believe it! Today I posthumously named Liang Wanping the Marquis of Zhongwu, and the title is hereditary. The whole country mourns! Give the Liang Mansion 10 taels of gold and tens of millions of money. If the three Liang clans have descendants of suitable age, they will all be granted official titles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial guards came up supporting Madam Liang, who was wearing mourning clothes and crying!
When the woman saw Zhao Fujin, she wanted to kneel down and worship him!
Zhao Fujin stepped forward quickly and helped the woman up: "Please get up quickly!" After that, he took off the red cloak and draped it on the woman: "Zhongwu Hou died for his country, don't let him go." White mourning, I will use the blood of those gold thieves to dye the mourning clothes red!"

While they were talking, more than a dozen boxes were put on the stage in Xuande Tower, and the boxes were opened in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians outside Xuande Gate!
After the lady left, Zhao Fujin turned around and said to the soldiers and civilians outside Xuande Gate: "The golden thief is coming soon. Those who bravely kill the enemy will be made marquis and prime minister, with a reward of one thousand taels!"

After that, he waved his hand behind him!

A dozen or so tied and gagged people were pushed to the wall by the Imperial City Secretary, and they knelt obediently at the top of the city!

Zhao Fujin glanced at them and snorted coldly: "If there are those who surrender to the enemy and betray the country, and use chaos to cause trouble, these people will be your fate!"

As soon as the words fell, swords flashed everywhere!
More than a dozen heads rolled down the city, and blood flew down from the top of the city!

No matter what the cunning civil servants thought of the show on the Xuande Tower, the people of Kaifeng City and the Forbidden Army soldiers were extremely excited!
Needless to say, in the Song Dynasty, military generals were humble. Even Tong Guan, who had made great achievements in destroying Tubo, conquering Xixia, and fighting in Square La, had never received such treatment. Just because he led the army to guard the banks of the Yellow River, he could be treated like this. Which soldier would not be jealous of receiving such a great honor, and which soldier would not yearn for it?

Isn’t it just a matter of working hard?
Even if you are unlucky and die in battle, the honor after death will be enough to honor your ancestors and seal your descendants!
Isn't that what joining the army to serve the country is all about?
