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

Chapter 216: Can’t you take a good bath?
On an early winter night, it gets dark early.

The palace is not like the ordinary people. At this time, the fireworks are at their peak.

The palace was particularly deserted at night.

Zhao Fujin leaned on the soft couch, his jade feet stretched out in the hot wooden barrel full of petals, and he was in a daze.

Wanyan Zongwang has been hoarding troops in Qingcheng for more than ten days. Except for taking action against the Deqing army once, there has been no other movement. This makes Zhao Fujin really puzzled.

If he was waiting for Wanyan Zonghan, then he was just waiting on the north bank of the Yellow River. Why did he come to Kaifeng in such a hurry.

It could be said that he wanted to take advantage of Wanyan Zonghan before he arrived. He had been here for more than ten days and had done nothing. He was purely here to make soy sauce.

Zhao Fujin really couldn't understand, what on earth was this kid thinking?
When he was thinking wildly, he forced the king to see him.

Zhao Fujin felt comfortable after soaking his feet and didn't want to get up. He was not an outsider anyway, so he invited him to come to the bedroom to talk.

Seeing the forced king coming in with a cane, Zhao Fujin smiled and said, "Are you feeling better?"

King Bi smiled and said: "It's okay now. I just met my father at Longde Palace. I wanted to go back to my house to rest. I'll talk to my sister tomorrow, but my father insisted that I come to you now. I didn't disturb my sister's rest." ?”

Zhao Fujin shook his head: "What time of the day it is, it doesn't matter, let's sit down and talk."

After forcing the king to sit down, he told Zhao Fujin what he had discussed with Xiao Zhonggong that day: "Wanyan Zongwang hates his sister very much. On the condition of paying tribute for three years, I will hand you over to him, my sister."

"Ha... I'm only worth three years of tribute?" Zhao Fujin chuckled: "What did you say?"

"Of course I refuse!"

"You refused directly? Didn't you give a reason?" Zhao Fujin was startled, thinking that something bad was going to happen now: "You, don't you think about why he wanted to exchange three years of tribute for me?"

King Bi was stunned and muttered: "Isn't that why I hate you, sister?"

Zhao Fujin sighed: "Is it possible that he is testing for the Western Route Army? That old fox Wanyan Zonghan suffered such a big loss in Taiyuan and got Taiyuan so easily. How can he not murmur in his heart?"

King Bi knew Zhao Fujin's worry and quickly smiled and said: "My sister underestimated me, I teased the matter cleverly, and Xiao Zhonggong did not become suspicious. Not only that, I also made a huge contribution to the Song Dynasty... "

Zhao Fujin was stunned for a moment, with a vague sense of ominous premonition.

"Oh? Tell me."

King Bi raised his head triumphantly: "Tell my sister directly, because I'm afraid she won't understand. The relationship here is complicated."

King Bi looked around as he spoke: "Where's the third princess? Ask the third princess to explain to my sister that it's all their family's fault. She understands."

In the side hall of Mingren Palace, Yelu Yuliyan was preparing to go to bed when Chunxia called him to Zhao Fujin's bedroom. After greeting the king, he sat next to Zhao Fujin.

Zhao Fujin nodded: "Let's talk."

The forced king cleared his throat: "Third princess, are you familiar with Xiao Zhonggong?"

Yelu Yuliyan shook his head: "I used to be a child king, but later I ran away with my father."

"Child King?" King Bi scratched his head.

Yelu Yuliyan explained: "The imperial court of the Liao Dynasty had a 'children's class', which was full of children of relatives and relatives. They study and practice martial arts together on weekdays. Xiao Zhonggong is the leader of the class, so we all call him the children's king."

King Bi nodded while thinking: "In other words, he has a good relationship with his clan relatives?"

Yelu Yuliyan nodded and admitted.

The king was happy and clapped his hands: "Ha, that's the best. I have already persuaded Xiao Zhonggong. When the war breaks out in the future, he will cooperate with our Song Dynasty inside and outside to deal with Wanyan Zongwang. The gold thieves will install people in our court, and we will also give them To embed people is to treat them with their own medicine."

After Zhao Fujin heard this, he frowned.

Yelu Yuliyan also frowned and remained silent.

Seeing this, the king forced him to add: "Sister, do you think this matter is not safe? It doesn't matter, I also persuaded Xiao Zhonggong to instigate another Liao general, Yelu..."

"Yelu Yujian?" Zhao Fujin and Yelu Yuliyan asked in unison.King Bi was stunned: "You all... know?"

Yelu Yuliyan shook his head speechlessly: "Why did the prince think of him?"

King Bi explained: "This man is a fierce general, and he is now the right supervisor of Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army. More importantly, he is a member of the Liao clan. The third princess will not know about it, right?"

Yelu Yuliyan smiled bitterly.

Zhao Fujin also smiled bitterly: "Hey, God still refuses to forgive your stupidity."

Before forcing the king to ask clearly, the palace servant came to report: "The official, Minister Han, wants to see you."

Zhao Fujin sighed: "If nothing else happens, something will happen."

Sure enough, Han Shizhong walked in holding a box. Seeing so many people in the dormitory, he was stunned at first, and then said: "The official, something happened."

Everyone's eyes fell on the box in Han Shizhong's hand.

"The Jin Army sent someone here, saying... saying..." Han Shizhong glanced at King Bi and hesitated for a long time.

"What did you say?" King Bi asked curiously.

Han Shizhong handed the box to King Bi: "I said this is for you, Your Majesty."

King Bi took the box, put it in his arms and opened it. He was so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot: "This...this..."

Zhao Fujin asked: "What?"

"Brain...brain...brain." King Bi replied tremblingly.

Zhao Fujin was also surprised: "Whose?"

"Liu...Liu Yu, Liu Siye."

Zhao Fujin breathed a sigh of relief, then looked disgusted, waved his hand and said: "Take it, take it, take this thing to my bedroom, you are really not particular about it."

Han Shizhong put away the box and explained: "Yelu Yujian said that if King Bi tries to sow discord again, I will use this box to put King Bi's head next time."

King Bi felt a chill on his neck and shrank back.

Zhao Fujin looked at King Bi and asked, "Is Liu Yu out of the city?"

King Bi nodded dully: "I asked him to investigate the matter of the Qing Army. Originally, I wanted him to meet Yelu Yujian..."

Yelu Yuliyan sighed: "Your Majesty only knows that Yelu Yujian is a clan member of the Liao family, but does your Majesty know that my father listened to the slander and killed Yelu Yujian's wife, and then forced him to rebel? Now you are Want to instigate him?"

The king was shocked: "Is there still this matter? I made a mistake, I made a mistake, and I killed Liu Siye, sister..."

Zhao Fujin raised his head and said, "Death means death. It's not a good thing at all."

Seeing that Zhao Fujin did not blame him, the king was relieved.

Han Shizhong said again: "Guan family, do you know where Liu Yu was beheaded?"

Zhao Fujin thought for a while: "Were he intercepted and killed by the Jin army on the way?"

Han Shizhong shook his head and said seriously: "It's outside Zhai Jin's camp."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt incredible.

It would be fine if Liu Yu was intercepted and killed by Jin army scouts on the way out of the city, but if he killed Song Dynasty officials outside the Song army camp, what does this mean?
This shows that Zhai Jin collaborated with the enemy and rebelled!
"No wonder Zhai Jin's troops didn't care when the Deqing army was attacked. So this guy has surrendered to the enemy?" King Bi was itching with hatred.

Han Shizhong smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not just Zhai Jin's department."

As soon as he finished speaking, a palace official came to report again: "Li Bangyan is asking for a meeting outside the palace, saying that he has urgent matters."
