Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 4'80 Two Capitals Chengqiu Ruins-5

"As a minister of the Song Dynasty, when you meet the emperor of the Song Dynasty, you actually don't pay homage to him. You are nothing but a fanatic who has no father in sight."

"Your Majesty, please move a little bit, Rong Chen waits to pay respects," Wu Angying bowed to Zhao Ke and said, "But you can't let the Hulu be honored." He pointed to the side, meaning that Zhao Ke should come down and leave Yelu Dashi, They, the courtiers of the Song Dynasty, could worship calmly.How could Zhao Ke be willing to listen to him, not only did not dare to move his body, but also tightly grasped the bed with both hands, and did not dare to turn his head to look at Wu Angying.Wu Angying's eyes darkened, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she didn't care at all.

Yelu Dashi smiled coldly, turned to Zhao Ke and said in a deep voice, "King Zhao, is this your subject? Why don't you order him to bow down?"

A trace of humiliation flashed in Zhao Ke's eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he whispered, "Why don't you pay homage?" The voice was faint, and Yelu Dashi "hummed" dissatisfiedly, Zhao Ke trembled all over, increased his voice, and sternly Said: "I don't pay homage yet!" Although he is 'sex' and inwardly soft, but the emperor is majestic, the courtiers who are already kneeling below are still shocked.Yelu Dashi had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and the deputy looked down at Wu Angying and the others.

Wu Angying smiled slightly, he raised his head, looked directly at Yelu Dashi, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, the world, the world belongs to the people of the world, it is not the property of one family and one surname. A dignified Chinese official is not the private property of one person. I can serve the emperor of Di Yi according to the orders of 'chaotic'. If a subject obeys the orders of 'chaos', it will be injustice for your majesty." He paused, looked at Zhao Ke, and sighed, "Although my lord As you wish, but the commander of the three armies can be taken away, but the ambition of a man cannot be taken away. What we do, we bear it on our own shoulders, and it has nothing to do with my lord."

Zhao Ke listened to the last two sentences of his excuse and protection, his nostrils were sore, he almost shed tears, and said in his heart: "The Great Song Dynasty has been supporting scholars for hundreds of years, and finally there are a few loyal ministers. I only hate that I have no eyes. "A sense of shame surged in my heart, my face flushed into ocher red, and I hung my head in silence.Yelu Dashi said coldly: "Come here, dig out the eyeballs of this disobedient king." Zhao Ke was startled, his liver and gallbladder were tearing apart, and he didn't dare to look up at the scene.

"Being crowned with a monkey and poor in reasoning, it shows the nature of a beast!" Wu Angying was pushed to the ground by several Khitan guards, and she gouged out her eyes with an iron spoon, and two lines of blood flowed down her cheeks, looking terrifying Incomparable, there is still a lot of cursing in his mouth, "I am waiting to die, but I am just admonishing my king with blood, and all the lords of the court, don't be a slave to a tiger, 'chaos' my Central Plains Zhengshuo, my Central Plains,... ...Well,..." But Yelu Dashi ordered the guards of the palace tent to cut off his tongue.

Seeing this, Xu Rubi, Pan Yuanjie and others all pointed their halberds and cursed angrily, while persuading all the Song officials in the tent not to bow their knees to the enemy.Xu Rubi said loudly: "If you betray China under the order of chaos, you will be infamous forever!" Lin Zhongfu said loudly to the ministers: "It is better to burn jade and jade together. We will die for righteousness, and there is no one else in China!"

These people were young and strong, scolding, and wrestled with the guards in the tent. Chen Shenyan and Qian Shou even rushed to beat Yelu Dashi, but they were held down by several Liao ministers with great difficulty. The scene of worship was a bit chaotic for a while. 'Chaos' up.Seeing that Zhao Ke and many ministers of the Song Dynasty had embarrassing expressions on their faces, and apparently wavered, Yelu Dashi no longer planned to subdue these people, and ordered the nine ministers to be dragged out of the imperial account and beheaded to death.After this disturbance, the pilgrimage seemed to have become a farce, which could only be ended in a hurry.

Nine bloody heads hung on a long pole outside the imperial tent, and many ministers of the Song Dynasty passed by below, unable to lift their heads.Many people already knew that after this day, the names of these few martyrs would be passed on to the world, and they would be accompanied by the eternal infamy of themselves and others.

Li Ruobing looked at those heads from a distance with a solemn face. In the bitter north wind, he ignored the guards of the Khitan guards and immediately bowed to these heads three times.Ever since he was detained as an envoy, he still refused to submit to the Liao Dynasty. Brother Yelu Tie locked him in an 'open' stable, and ate and slept with the horses. After these few days, his face, neck, hands and feet were all bruised. Frozen in many places.

In Bianliang City, Chao Buzhi and Li Gefei heard the news that Wu Angying and other ministers were killed, and they sighed for a long time.Although the two of them are from the seventh rank, they are well-known. In order to avoid being coerced by the Liao Kingdom, when the news of Xiancheng came, they abandoned their posts and hid.Although Mrs. Chao, Mrs. Li couldn't hold back her husband and stayed with him in Bianliang, she was not incapable of changing circumstances. The Li family had arranged a hiding place in advance. In addition to storing enough water, there was also a cellar. The doors of the hiding places such as Jiabi are usually closed, and only the confidants are sent outside to inquire about the news every day.

"The person behind Yelu Dashi's conspiracy is not small. It seems that Bianliang can't stay any longer." Chao Buzhi sighed, "When the situation stabilizes, we'll take the time to leave. Sigh—" His words carried The meaning of infinite depression.As for where to go, it is still undecided. "Xijing? In order to support King Jing, Cao Di sat back and watched Bianliang fall. Although the other clans were all captured by the northern captives, Chao did not want to be with such a person who would harm the world because of his own selfishness. Therefore, For the present plan, we should live in seclusion in the southeast like Mr. Zhoushan." He sighed.Facing his lifelong friends, he expressed his plan to avoid disaster in the southeast, but the reason was that he could not speak out, that is, according to his understanding of the Xia Kingdom, the Huguo Mansion could sit back and watch the Liao Kingdom capture the capital of the Song Kingdom, but it could not tolerate the Liao Kingdom annexing the entire The Song State constituted a major disaster to the east of the Xia State, so it was relatively safe to avoid disasters in the southeast.

"Just as Brother Chao said." Li Gefei nodded and said, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he didn't care where he was going.Seeing this, Chao Buzhi couldn't help sighing secretly.At Li Gefei's age, he should be entertaining his grandchildren and enjoying the happiness of his family.But the eldest son Ruobing was sent to Khitan and detained, and the second Ruoxu son was captured in the army of Hebei and his life is still uncertain. The daughter Ruoxue is the last one to worry about. I heard that there are two lovely grandchildren of Yuxue, but they are far away in Guanzhong.

Hearing about the martyrdom of several civil servants, Zhang Shuye, the general manager of the Henan Mabu Army, lamented for a long time. He put on court clothes, summoned his family to the main hall, and sighed: "I wanted to leave a useful body for the court. Looking at it now, there is no one else in the dignified China." , the old man can die in peace." After saying that, he dismissed his family and returned to his room to slay himself with a sword.

On this day, the whole Bianliang was shrouded in a gloomy mist.The Liao army was in a hurry to extort money, food and property. In order to prevent the Liao army from personally entering the city to plunder, Zhao Zhifu and Qin Hui urged the officials to conduct house-to-house searches, ranging from all kinds of gold, silver and jade in the palaces of the palace to the grain of ordinary people. Even the mud and gold on the roof of the White Jade Palace were scraped off. The people were almost without food for the next day, and those with relatives left the city to flee.

In addition to stationing troops in Bianliang, the Liao army also sent Qingqi to escort the envoys of the Song Dynasty to recruit and surrender the cities of the Song Dynasty.The guards of the Song Dynasty from all over the country responded differently.Besieged and attacked by the Liao army for many days without reinforcements, Daming Prefecture and other counties had to obey the emperor's orders.The Xijing camp guards the Hulao pass tightly and does not allow envoys to enter.But the east camp beheaded the Khitan guards and envoys together, and hung their heads in front of Tianjing Pass.

............

When they learned that Song Guo still refused to switch and let the army go, the generals immediately exploded.

"What? Why didn't you turn it on and let it go!" Zhao Xingde's forehead showed blue veins, and he said in a rare way, "The Emperor Song was captured, Bianliang fell, and the southeast was in danger. Damn Cao Di and Zhe Keqiu didn't turn it on and let him go? "His eyes were bloodshot, almost furious, he stood up and breathed heavily.In the camp of the Eastern Expedition Army, many generals patted the table and said.

"He's 'grand', 'grand', just hit him!"

"Take it as a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions, play tricks on me like this, and do it with them!"

"I've wanted to beat those bastards in Luoyang for a long time."

Wu Jie's face was also ugly.The cold butts on the hot faces made these sergeants extremely annoyed.Since learning that Song Emperor Nanshou was captured by the Liao people, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army were ready to go. The military government directly contacted the Song State Xijing camp, promising not to attack Luoyang by false pretenses, and let the Song State let go of Hangu East Pass. Xia Jun can go east. Jin assisted the Song army in combat.However, the Xijing camp not only did not appreciate it, but stepped up the defense of Hangu East Pass, and the east bank of the Yellow River also looked like an enemy.

"If we really fight, we will help the people of the Liao Kingdom. Cao Di has already supported Song Jingwang Zhao Qi as the emperor. When the Kanto was destroyed and the new was established, he had doubts about our army." Wu Jie pressed his hands on the table and stood up. Come on, he suppressed his anger and explained to the generals: "Yelubijie and Tiemuge, the commanders of the left army of the imperial camp of the Liao Kingdom, have gone south with [-] cavalry, and with him are the imperial envoy Qin Hui and other envoys. , Force Song Guozhou and counties to follow the order to deliver food and salaries to the Liao army." He shook his head, "At the same time, Zhao Qi's envoys are rushing to various prefectures and counties with edicts, asking officials from all over the place to congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement."

The generals realized that the situation in the Kanto region was dangerous, so they stopped making noise, and their expressions became serious.

"Brother Tiemu?" Zhao Xingde's eyes froze, and he asked, "Brother Tiemu who likes to slaughter cities and villages the most?" He thought to himself: "Among the Liao army, Xiao Tachi and Brother Tiemu are the most cruel. If they meet each other on the battlefield, they must be killed."

"Exactly." Wu Jie sighed.Qin Hui carried the Emperor Song's will, and if Song Guozhou and the counties did not obey the orders, the notoriously famous Tiemu brother went south, obviously to establish his prestige, and the Liao army also had the name of borrowing troops to suppress the rebellion.The troops of the Song Dynasty were distributed more heavily in the north than in the south, and the counties in the southeast were always empty, and the Xiang army could not even cope with the uprisings.The counties and counties in the southeast of the Song Dynasty were already in turmoil. Many officials were afraid of the Liao army going south, but did not dare to offend either Zhao Ke or Zhao Qi, so they abandoned their posts and fled. The ones that were close were occupied by refugees and bandits.There are scenes of chaos in the world everywhere.
