Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 171: Assassin the King and Killing the King

The further north you go, the cooler the weather becomes, but for the Han army, this climate makes them feel friendly.

Yanyun can have a good New Year this year.

"Would you like to send you a family letter?" Liu Ling asked.

Zhu Shuzhen shook her head.

She knows what's going on in her own home. To a certain extent, she is quite similar to Queen Mother Yelu. The two women can only subconsciously ignore their past, because if they get serious, they will lose even their last support.

Except for the youngest among the three emperors, the other two, one of Shunde, had a long-standing affection for the King of Han, and the other of Maode, was already a married woman. There were rumors in the court that the King of Han liked wives, so she had to coming.

Fortunately, she is also quite sensible.

It's just that the youngest Renfu Emperor Ji thought that she was really married, she was somewhat arrogant, and she didn't like Zhu Shuzhen very much.

In addition to the two concubines, one was promised to Yelu Yanshan, the former military commander, and the other was planned to be rewarded to a meritorious general after returning to Yan. It was most likely Han Shizhong.

Anyway, the war has stopped, and the imperial court has surrendered, so why are you still holding on?

From now on, there will be no trace of shame on many people's faces as they write lyrics and dance.

Liu Ling withdrew his gaze, shouted at the Song official in front of him, and said:

"In your Song Dynasty, only Prince Tong and Zong Zhizhou are considered upright men."

Tong Guan has probably died in Yandi, but his body has not been found so far. As for you, Zongze, it will be soon.

Along the way, they wrote lyrics, listened to music, trained the empresses, and had a meal at Daming Mansion. The officials of the Song Dynasty respected the three empresses, but many people even called Zhu Shuzhen flatteringly. lady.

The war was coming to an end, and when the troops were withdrawing, the Han army was still on guard, but as the commander-in-chief, the King of Han could already begin to regard this journey home as a "winter outing".

In front of Jizhou City, the city gate had long been opened. Among the many officials, Zongze smiled bitterly, took off his official robe in public, then knelt down in front of the envoy holding the imperial edict, and got into the prison car.

To be honest, Liu Ling also thought about using the Song Dynasty court as a promoter to force Zongze to surrender to him. But before, the old guy would rather bear the crime of beheading afterwards than to use all his strength to resist him. Liu Ling knew at that time that Zongze It is impossible to surrender the ze.

Liu Ling was far away, but his eyes seemed to penetrate the crowd in front of him, and he saw him at once.

Fortunately, after Zongze was escorted to the capital, the Song people would most likely execute him or exile him.

When the surrounding Song officials heard this, their faces suddenly turned red and white. They didn't know how to answer. They simply pretended not to hear it, but they all remembered it in their hearts.

Liu Ling thought for a while, and finally signaled the crowd to disperse and walked slowly to the prison car.

For the first time, he completely saw Zongze.

But the one who kills you is not me as the enemy, but the country and the court that you want to protect.

This old guy looked more like an ordinary old man, except that his hair was completely gray and hanging down on his sides. When he saw Liu Ling walking over, there was extremely obvious hatred in his eyes, and he cursed:

"Yangou!"

Liu Ling chuckled lightly, "Yes, I am Yan Gou. Do you have the ability to beat me?" Zongze's withered chest heaved. He stretched out his hand to grasp the railing of the prison car and cursed Liu Ling. When he saw Liu Ling He didn't care at all, so he just closed his eyes and said nothing more.

Liu Ling snapped his fingers to the side. Zongze opened his eyes and saw a girl wearing a Song Dynasty palace dress walking up to Liu Ling. The latter stretched out her hand and took her in her arms. The girl narrowed her eyes with a look on her face. docile.

"Look, this is your imperial concubine of the Song Dynasty."

Emperor Shunde snuggled into Liu Ling's arms, and her eyes trembled when she saw Zongze staring at her with a blank expression.

Liu Ling patted Di Ji's millstone and motioned for her to play with it. Then he squatted in front of the prison car, face to face with Zongze, and said with a smile: "You thought I wanted to withdraw my troops, so you pretended to surrender, and sent someone to ask Jing Xing to add more troops." Being prepared is actually the right strategy. Even if I go south later, you still have a chance to win.

So, do you want to know where you lost? "

Zongze didn't say anything. Liu Ling smiled and continued: "You were disobedient to begin with, but your court was actually unwilling to be soft on me, so later I made you the magistrate of Jizhou. But you have to know , since we took a small path at the beginning, we have to go all the way to the end, to death!

You can continue to disobey me. For example, when I go south, if you lead the army to recapture the lost Hejian Mansion in the north, or gather the remaining troops and people's hearts in Hebei, then when the war is over, the court will not do anything to you. .

Or today, you can withdraw my troops north and lay out ambushes or assassins. Anyway, you have chosen this path, and you have to use so many dirty and despicable methods. Otherwise, why are you struggling like this? "

Zongze stared at him for a moment, then showed a smile and whispered: "Jiang Guan, why do you hear a tone of regret in the words of the King of Han?"

"I praise you Zongze to the court and others as the greatest husband in the Song Dynasty."

Zongze nodded slightly and replied: "It seems that the official will die after he returns."

"I really feel so." King Han said gently.

Zongze sighed and said: "Your Majesty, why should you joke with a dying person anymore? If this is really the case, then Zong will have to die."

Just as he was talking, the soldiers behind Liu Ling suddenly drew their swords in their hands, and then the leader of the soldiers shouted "Protect the King", and the surrounding bureaucrats and the crowd all screamed in surprise, and then, Several fresh corpses, chopped to pieces, were dragged over.

Zongze glanced at the corpses and then closed his eyes.

Liu Ling glanced at the assassins with some regret, raised his foot and kicked them, and said with a smile: "I really thought that a hero would fly out with Qinggong and take my head off my neck with one move."

The assassins arranged by Zongze are probably at his limit.

After all, this is not the Song Dynasty in martial arts novels. Such things as true energy and internal strength do not exist.

And the so-called arena is nothing in front of a real warrior!

On the periphery, when they learned that there was an assassin assassinating the King of Han, most of the Song officials became panicked, because all the surrounding Zhenyuan soldiers had begun to draw their swords and pointed them at them.

They were clearly on their own territory, but these people seemed to have no roots, standing staggeringly as if they would be blown down by the wind at the next moment.

Zongze lowered his head deeply, the hatred on his face had all turned into exhaustion. Among the assassins there was a young man who was his protégé. He had been with Zongze for most of his life. He was just a minor official and had not received much glory. , but after knowing that he was going to assassinate the king today, he still actively hoped to join.

Liu Ling waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, these are loyal men of the Song Dynasty, and they must be buried with the rites of a national scholar!"
