The struggle of the reborn prince

On the tenth day of September, the first snow fell in Ningcheng on the evening of Wushu's death, and it was still falling continuously in the early morning, dyeing the land soaked by the flames of war into a piece of snow white.Zhao Tang didn't feel excited when he heard the news of Wushu's death, but a little sad.He pushed the door and walked out of the bedroom, Xin Zhao hurriedly took two steps to put him in a cloak, Jianxi called a few inner guards to follow, but told them not to get too close, he knew the emperor was not in a good mood at the moment, let him It's good to clean yourself up.

"Second Master, Wu Shu is the greatest enemy of the Song Dynasty, your mortal enemy, why doesn't His Majesty like it when he is dead?" Xin Zhao asked following the emperor's footsteps.

"It's been a long time since I've heard you called Second Master!" Zhao Tang walked to an open place, turned his face to look at Xin Zhao and smiled lightly, but didn't answer her words.

"In the past, I thought it was easy and friendly to be called Second Master, but now that the authority of Second Master has grown, people around me feel that it is too rude to call him the same name as in the past, and gradually forget the kindness of the past." Xin Zhao said.

"Then do you think this snow is good?".Zhao Tun 'no'wrong'''.

"Well, I like the snowy days the most, the vast expanse of whiteness makes people feel refreshed." Xin Zhao nodded and said, but felt that the emperor was weird. "But some people think the snow is very annoying. Business travelers will be forced to stay on the way, and the homeless have to endure the cold. For them, snow is a disaster." Zhao Tong said leisurely.

"Second Master... Second Master feels sad for Wushu?" Xin Zhao understood the meaning of the emperor's words, and asked softly.

"I don't know, and I can't tell!" Zhao Tong shook his head and said. "In the past, I always regarded Wu Shu as a strong enemy, and I wanted to get rid of him quickly. But when I heard the news of his death, I was not happy, but rather disappointed. I felt a little confused.

"Second Lord, you have the intention of being a hero!" Zhao Xin said, she knew that the reason why the Kingdom of Jin was able to survive until now was actually all due to the strength of Wushu.

After the Liao Kingdom destroyed the country, the Jin Kingdom became the biggest enemy of the Song Dynasty in this world.The emperor was also very aware of this, so in the final analysis, all his actions were aimed at the Kingdom of Jin, that is, against Wushu, so he regarded Wushu as his enemy, but he didn't know that he actually regarded him as an opponent in his heart.The only person in this world who can be an opponent.The two had been fighting for so many years, and now that Wu Shu had finally died under the emperor's plot, it naturally made him feel that the world had suddenly become boring. "Is he a hero, am I a hero again?".Zhao Tun said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Of course, isn't that what the second master meant by using snow as a metaphor? The two armies are at war, and each is the master. Wushu has worked hard for the Kingdom of Jin and fought in all directions, so that the Kingdom of Jin can be maintained for [-] years under the pressure of our Great Song Dynasty. Yu Nian can be called a hero among the Jurchens. But he must also be a villain in our eyes. In the same way, the second master expelled the Jurchens, recovered Yanyun, cleared the bad government, and blessed the Quartet. It made the Song Dynasty rejuvenate, and now it is the Northern Expedition to the Jurchens. Of course, you are the hero in the hearts of our people in the Great Song Dynasty. But you have attacked cities and plundered lands and killed countless Jurchens. Of course, you are also the devil in their eyes!" Zhao Xin rolled his eyes and said to the emperor, he understood that the emperor actually understood it very well.But it is difficult to resolve the sadness in my heart, so I am depressed.

"Yeah, everyone is their own master, what is right or wrong, leave it to future generations to comment on, but now the hero is lonely!" Zhao Tun said leisurely while holding Zhao Xin's hand, he understood that once Wushu died, it would be equal to The Kingdom of Jin lost its last pillar, and at the same time, his death also caused the Kingdom of Jin to lose a big boss who could control the situation, which would inevitably make those with unruly hearts fight for the vacated power unscrupulously. I also lost the goal I had been striving for for many years and lost my way.

"Second Master used tricks to kill his anger, and now he is still making sarcastic remarks." Xin Zhao said with a smile.

"Oh, I just blame him for being in a high position for a long time, so he has a big temper, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he can't bear it if he suffers from idleness, but it's unreasonable to be a hero!" Zhao Tian shook his head and sighed.

"In my opinion, Wushu is a blessing if he is dead at this time. He no longer has to endure the suffering of illness, no longer has to work hard for this dilapidated country, and at least he doesn't have to kneel at the feet of the second master. For him, it must be better. Death is even more painful!" Xin Zhao teased.

"Am I as miserable as you say?"Zhao Tang gritted his teeth and said as if he wanted to eat people.

"Of course, the second master repeatedly played tricks on a dying man, inciting the people to besiege an old minister who has made great achievements for the country, and made the emperor feel murderous against his uncle who has been helping him..." Xin Zhao revealed like a cannonball. The emperor is old.

"I'm so pissed off. As a subordinate, you dare to offend your superiors. As a wife, you dare to criticize your husband. As a citizen of the country, you dare to slander the king. See how I will impose family laws on you to make an example of you!" Zhao Tun said, "turned into anger from embarrassment" With a tiger pounce, he wanted to embrace Xin Zhao into his arms, but he didn't expect her to escape nimbly, but how could he let her go, and chased after him yelling, scaring the inner guard who was following behind him...

…………

At the end of September, the Song army had completed the preparations for the siege again, but at this time, the food in Huining city had run out, and the soldiers killed horses for food, while the common people could only peel bark and dig grass roots, and saddles and leather armor could feed their hunger. All the items were cooked and stuffed into their stomachs, and some people even started to steal human flesh, but no one bothered, because everyone knew that it would not be long before the Song army attacked the city, and they would starve to death by themselves.

Wu Shu finally breathed his last, but Wanyan Quan didn't feel relieved, but felt even more anxious and uneasy. Only then did he realize that the grand master who was 'forced to death' by him was his biggest backer.But there is still no news of the life-saving straws that have been waiting so hard, but Xinxi is flickering, Zong Qiang is perfunctory, Zhang Hao is supporting, Pu San Zhongyi is silent, Zongxiong and others are missing, and there is no reliable person around him.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Wanyan Quan, who was half drunk, asked loudly. In despair, he picked up the wine glass that had been neglected for a long time, looking for comfort in the universe in the glass, but the noise outside the hall It disturbed his elegant mood, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Your Majesty, it looks like the Southern Dynasty army is bombarding the North City!" Hearing that the emperor was showing off his power again, a servant ran in in a panic and reported.

"Ah?! Drive Wuyun Tower!" Wanyan Quan said after listening to the instructions.

Wuyun Building is five stories high, and it is a huge and magnificent building. It was specially built by Wan Yanquan for banquets two years ago.It can be called the tallest building in the city.Wan Yanquan went up to the top floor and looked north, at this moment the sparse sound of cannons was already indistinguishable.Beicheng has been shrouded in gunpowder smoke and flames. Countless soldiers and civilians above and below the city are running and hiding to avoid the artillery fire.From time to time, people fell under the artillery fire, and more people flocked to Nancheng.

"Why can't we just counterattack the Song army?" Wanyan Quan asked hastily, not seeing that his catapult had fired a bomb.

"Your Majesty, the northern part of the city is the old subordinate of Sa He Nian. They didn't listen to Zuo Dushuai's command, and they collapsed after the cannon fired." A servant reported.

"Immediately order the Commander-in-Chief You to go to the North City, and we must prevent the Song Army from ascending the city." Only then did Wan Yanquan remember that for the sake of Wushu, he first seized the military power of Heshi Lie Zhining and separated him from his subordinates.She was under house arrest in the imperial city, but Ke Xi couldn't control the situation at all.

"Your Majesty, the Tiger and Leopard Army robbed the people in the city last night, killing and injuring many people. The Commander-in-Chief, who was patrolling the city, led his troops to suppress it. There was a conflict with the Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army. The Commander-in-Chief was wounded by an arrow from the back and fell into a coma..." the servant Whispering in a low voice, he took two steps back, fearing that the emperor would violently kill people in his rage.

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big event?" Wanyan Quan said in shock.

"You...You Dushuai said that such a trivial matter should not alarm His Majesty. We will not let us report it." The servant said in a panic.

"What?! This is also a small matter..." Wanyan Quan shouted, the important minister of the country was killed by the rebels, and the servant did not dare to tell him just because of a happy word, which seemed extremely inappropriate.

"Your Majesty, the Song army concentrated its artillery to attack the North City today. The city towers, turrets and urn city were all destroyed, and the Zuo Dushuai had no way to command. As a result, the counterattack was weak. Seeing that the city was broken, he fled in front of the battle. Dangerous. Your Majesty, please make a decision early." At this time, Wang Hao also hurried upstairs to report.

"It's a good thing that this guy actually escaped..." Wanyan Quan said through gritted teeth. These days, he boasted that he could repel the Song army within a few days, so he was granted the military power, but this was the result.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to send people to the city to stop the enemy army as soon as possible, and we will discuss the rest later." Seeing that the emperor was about to digress again, Zhang Hao quickly reminded.

"Who does Prime Minister Zuo think we should send there?" Wanyan Quan is already in a state of confusion. In the past, the grand master was naturally worried about these things. He just showed his face to show his "determination" to live and die with the people, and the facts also proved that he It is better to send a pig into battle than to lead an army.

"Your Majesty, it's better to send a chariot to Beicheng as soon as possible, and dispatch the entire army." Zhang Hao said anxiously.

"This... Let me think about it!" Wanyan Quan thinks that he is really the only one left in the court, but he has forced his father-in-law to death. Once he regains the military power, it will be bad for him But it's not good.

"Your Majesty, Sa Henian is an upright person, and he will never pay for the public for personal gain, but he must put the overall situation first." Seeing that the emperor was still hesitating, Zhang Hao knew what the emperor was thinking, and recommended again.

"Your Majesty, the northern city has been blasted into two gaps by the artillery fire of the Song army, and the enemy army is about to enter the city." At this moment, another servant trotted in to report the latest military situation.

"Okay, let me pass on the order to take Heshi Lie Zhining as the privy envoy, and immediately lead the troops to the North City to repel the Song army." Wanyan Quan looked out the window and saw that the North City was in chaos and the city was broken. The shrill shouts of his voice could be faintly heard, and he decreed helplessly...

When Heshi Lie Zhining rushed to Beicheng, the situation was extremely critical.Under the cover of artillery fire, the Song army dug tunnels under the city, and then placed a large amount of gunpowder to blow up five gaps in the city wall. Most of the soldiers defending the city and the young men who assisted in defending the city fled and scattered. The infantry of the Song army used ladders to ascend the city. , the cavalry poured in from the gap, which marked that the city had been breached.But Zhining had no way out, he gathered the remnants he encountered on the way, intercepted deserters and young men, and some people volunteered to join the ranks of counterattack, but the organization was only more than ten thousand people.

Even so, Zhi Ning led the mob without hesitation to quickly launch a counterattack against the Song army, trying to block the breakthrough and regain control of the city wall.The general is not afraid of death, so the soldiers have nothing to fear. The soldiers followed him and launched waves of more ferocious charges, even repelling the Song army who had ascended the city for a time.But the good times didn't last long, as the Song army broke in from multiple directions, and the reinforcements were delayed, Zhi Ning could only support the crisis alone, resisting every step of the way, retreating to the city and starting street fighting with the Song army.

By the afternoon of the battle, the Song army had completely controlled the northern city wall, and Zhi Ning led less than [-] remnants to retreat to the southwest corner of the city.After the persuasion was invalid.After a burst of fierce artillery fire, the Song army launched a general offensive.Zhi Ning, who desperately hoped that the reinforcements would not arrive, knew that his last moment was approaching, so he personally led the army to launch the final counterattack.In a blink of an eye, it was overwhelmed by the dense rain of bullets fired by the Song army, and none of the rest, whether soldiers or young men, retreated.Continue to charge forward until the whole army is wiped out.Heshi Lie Zhining demonstrated the final spirit of the Jurchen with his own death, and with his fall, all the northern city of Huining City fell, leaving only the southern city separated by a moat...

Beicheng fell, Heshi Liezhining died in battle, and Pusan ​​Zhongyi was seriously injured. Wanyanquan finally realized that the defeat of the Kingdom of Jin was irretrievable, but when he wanted to leave again, he found that it was impossible.The last elite of the Jin army was almost exhausted in the battle of defending the city, and they no longer had the strength to break through the increasingly tight encirclement of the Song army. There were only two ways to go: surrender and death.The next day, Wanyan Quan convened a court meeting to discuss how to deal with the current situation, but all the officials remained silent and had no idea.Everyone understands that the Kingdom of Jin is at the end of its rope, and now it's just a dying day. Let's live every day.

But some people don't think so, but Wanyan Kexi finds that the opportunity to realize her dream has come.He has great ambitions since he was a child.I hope that one day I can ascend to the throne of God, but his father is not worthy of being raised by a stepmother, and he has no skills, so he can only be an idle prince.However, without a backer, he was sent to a remote place in Liaodong to conquer the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms when he became an adult. He thought that his talent would be buried and he would die in this remote mountain.There is no chance of getting ahead.

But I didn't expect that when Kexi was disheartened, the Song Army's large-scale Northern Expedition came to the capital city.The emperor issued an edict to Qin Wang, which gave him an opportunity to make contributions.Therefore, I am happy to do my best to go to Qin Wang at all costs, hoping to catch this pie that fell from the sky.Although he suffered a lot on the road and many people died, he felt that everything was worth it when he was rewarded by the emperor after entering the city.

As an outsider, Kexi wanted to keep a low profile at first, but then he was pushed to the forefront because of rumors about the Taishi Wushu. The emperor tried his best to win him over to deal with the Taishi, so that he took control of the military power.But he is very sober at this moment, his foundation in Beijing is too shallow, and the real strength in his hands is only the tiger and leopard army brought by thousands of speeds.So you can not act rashly, just wait and see the changes in the whole situation and the progress of the situation, but fortunately, you can also find the emperor's incompetence from various actions.

The subsequent development of the situation made Kexi discover that she has the ability and the opportunity to change the fate of herself and Dajin.First of all, the most frightening Taishi Wushu died amidst the sound of curses inside and outside. People began to take the initiative to come to the door to express their loyalty, so he accepted everything without showing any signs of expression.But the ensuing unexpected conflict seriously injured Pu San Zhong Yi, enabling Ke Xi to remove the biggest stumbling block in his ascension, and Zhi Ning's death in battle allowed him to become the actual controller of the army.

Since the opportunity has appeared, of course, we must firmly grasp it!After the Great Court Meeting, Kexi thought that the time was ripe, and he decided to do it to realize his dream.It was another night with a bright moon and few stars, and a biting cold wind. Fortunately, the Tiger and Leopard Army was mobilized to control Miyagi, and a team of troops was personally led to kill Zhang Hao's family first.Then came Taibao Zongmin, Taifu Zongxiong, and even the deceased Taishi Wushu's family.

The city of Huining once again experienced internal strife and bloodshed. The emperor was imprisoned in the Wuyun Tower, the prime minister was killed, and all the officials under him who were happy to think that they threatened him were all eliminated. By dawn, he had controlled the southern city of Huining and the emperor City, took control of the court.Afterwards, he was delighted to force Wanyan Quan to order him to supervise the country. He proclaimed himself King of Liao. , his father Zong Qiang is Da Zongzheng, and his younger brother Wanyan Shuang is the right minister and comprehends Ningfu Yin.

Of course, the meritorious officials will not forget that they are all rewarded, so that even the little centurions in the tiger and leopard army are named generals of the left and right guards. Wushu back then.Faced with the sudden bloody conflict in the city, the civil and military officials and common people who are used to it seem to have become insensitive and did not show too much concern. Now the bark and grass roots in the city have been eaten clean, and they are about to starve to death , Who cares who he is in power, let fate.Everyone seems to have entrusted their fate to Kexi!

Happily fulfilling his wish, he became a powerful official under one person and above ten thousand people, but he also knew that he only had a handful of stinky cards left in his hand. The people who eat can't win the game anyway. The only thing they can do is to fully accept the conditions put forward by the Southern Dynasty, such as compensation, land cession, and surrender.

A few days later, Wanyan Kexi dressed in the royal clothes and led Yiwei to go out of the city to see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. The dramatic scene in history was staged again 20 years later, but the parties were changed, and it became the Kingdom of Jin and the Song Dynasty. It's staged, it's really bad retribution!Zhao Tang naturally and happily accepted Wanyan Kexi's request to surrender, otherwise the next play would be so much fun, but Kexi lived up to expectations, and immediately entered the role...
