Chapter 021: Morning Shock

The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day.

Zhang Xian's iron armor was stained with blood, and the barrel of the iron gun turned red. He is light-headed, his face is red and his ears are dry, and his heart is fluttering at the moment.

Just now, it was still a bloody battle, and life and death were uncertain, but at this moment, it was already extremely Tailai, and his ambition was rewarded.

The young man didn't know the taste of sorrow, and besides, he had a long tassel in his hand, and he wanted to bind the dragon. is about to meet the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, make meritorious contributions, seal his wife and cute son, and the door of the Zhang family in Shuzhong will finally be supported by him!

He looked at the front, Wang Song, who had a flat face and an unwavering face, couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Speaking of which, Wang Song and him are the same age, but the realms of the two are completely different. Among the thousands of troops, if you take a walk in the pavilion; In front of wealth and glory, there is no smug look at all, Xiang Yu immediately, Li Taibai under the horse, this is the real master!

"Folks, you have suffered!"

Wang Song greeted the people on both sides and looked around. Zhuquemen Street, Zhou Bridge, Royal Street, this prosperous and beautiful Song Dynasty is haunted by many people's dreams. Such as the forest of buildings, shops, tea shops, arched bridges and flowing water, mellow wine and beauty, cars like flowing water, horses like dragons, bustling and noisy, rich and luxurious......

It's like two lovers who have been together for many years, and they were able to meet at the agreed place after many years! He couldn't help but shout in his heart, Bianliang City, I'm here!

Entered the Xuande Gate, dismounted, went all the way, entered the right door, went a few steps east, and arrived in front of a palace.

From a distance, I saw a young man standing in front of the steps, dressed in a yellow robe, surrounded by a group of ministers, who looked to be no more than 30 years old. The man looks gentle and elegant at first glance, but the slightly protruding cheekbones on his face show a hint of stubbornness.

"Song Qinzong Zhao Huan!"

Wang Song couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart. No need to ask, this is the last king in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was put on the throne by his father, and Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong was helpless.

Looking from afar, seeing that Wang Song and the others were still in battle armor, and their bodies were dripping with blood, Zhao Huan frowned and said: "Why didn't anyone change the brocade robe and jade belt for the people of Wang Qing's family, is it really unknown the etiquette of the forbidden middle?" ”

Wang Zongmi, the deputy commander in front of the palace, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Song and the others did not enter the palace from Donghua Gate, but entered from Xuande Building. The palace people couldn't catch up for a while, so they changed their clothes by mistake. ”

According to the Great Song Dynasty etiquette, when the foreign ministers enter the palace, they must change their shirts and enter the palace. Just as in later generations to participate in major events, important people must wear formal attire to show formality and grandeur.

Supervising the Imperial History Zhang Suo sneered: "I heard that the Xuanhua Gate was broken, and the generals and soldiers in front of the palace were nowhere to be found, and even the officials of the Ministry of Rites were hiding in their own houses to burn incense and worship the Buddha, who cares about the affairs of the imperial court." From the time Wang Song and others entered the city, to the present hour, there are still many officials missing. Could it be that Fanzi has already entered the imperial city? ”

Wang Zongwei and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were all slightly red, and they hung their heads and were silent.

Zhao Huan said with a calm face: "What about the forbidden army of the Imperial City Division, where did they all go?" There are 3,000 people under King Yun's command, do these people only know how to oppress the good and take advantage of the good? ”

The Imperial City Division was led by Emperor Daojun's beloved son, King Yun Zhao Kai, the prince of the clan who was afraid of gold and tigers, and he didn't know where to hide at the moment.

Uncle Zhang coughed and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Song will be there soon." Your Majesty can't make the strong men wait for a long time for such trivial matters!"

Zhao Huan nodded, looked at Wang Zongwei and the others, and said disdainfully: "Wen can't set the country, and Wu can't settle the country." They are as timid as rats and afraid of the enemy as tigers, so what's the use of you! The time is poor and the time is not as good as these rude martial artists! ”

Hu Shunzhi's face was flushed, and he wanted to step forward to collide, but was stopped by several old ministers.

All the civil and military officials bowed their heads and were silent, and they all hated Wang Song in their hearts, but they didn't show it.

Wang Song stepped forward, led the generals to kneel down from afar, bowed and saluted: "The last general Hedong summoned Wang Song, led the soldiers of the loyal and righteous army, and knocked on my Great Song Emperor!"

It is not common to kneel and bow in the Song Dynasty, even if the face of the monarch does not have to kneel down three times and bow nine times, only in the grand court meeting (every year on New Year's Day and the winter solstice), and the suburban ceremony once every three years needs to kneel and bow. Often, the court can worship (as a bow) ceremony. As for the kind of kowtow at every turn on TV in later generations, it was all after Meng Yuan.

Zhao Huan took a few steps forward, helped Wang Song up, and said loudly: "Wang Qing's family is flat." General Wang led the loyal and righteous army of tigers and wolves, killed the Jurchen thieves, saved Bianliang City in a single day, and raised the national prestige of my Great Song Dynasty, and the general is the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty!"

Although he didn't know whether it was appropriate to be polite or not, Wang Song also knew that the emperor welcomed him out of the hall and waited for the ministers, which in itself was a kind of self-surrendering practice.

Wang Song bowed and said: "Your Majesty, saving the country and the people, and helping the community, this is the duty of a courtier, what is Wang Song's merit?" Holy Lord, please retreat to the main hall, return to the throne, and Wang Song will bring all the brothers to worship again!"

The ministers next to him all nodded secretly. Although this Wang Song is said to be a battlefield martial artist, he still understands the truth of etiquette, which is really rare.

Zhang Shuye also persuaded: "Your Majesty, General Wang has arrived safely, Your Majesty can wait in the palace with peace of mind, so that General Wang and the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army can feel at ease."

Zhao Huan's personality is relatively weak and indecisive, and when he saw Zhang Shuye say this, he said helplessly: "That's okay, I'm waiting for General Wang in the main hall!"

"Wang Song led the generals of the loyal and righteous army under his command to meet my great Song Emperor. Long live my emperor, long live it!"

Seeing the tiger and wolf man kneeling on the ground below, Zhao Huan had a little bit of the dignity of a king at this moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up and speak!"

Zhao Huan was full of smiles, and he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Wang Qing's family, how is the battle situation outside Xuanhua Gate?" How many soldiers and horses did you bring into Beijing this time? I saw the many casualties of the rebels at the city gate, and I was deeply saddened. ”

It seems that this Zhao Huan is a kind person, not those shallow lords who can only show off the power of the monarch and the art of the emperor.

Wang Song calmed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister brought 38,000 soldiers to fight a battle with the Jurchens outside the Xuanhua Gate, killing more than 6,000 people, seriously injuring nearly 2,000 people, and lightly injuring countless people. There are still about 30,000 ministers! ”

Zhao Huan nodded lightly and did not speak again.

Sun Fu said, "General Wang, can you estimate the injury of the Jurchens?"

At this time, try to mention something that can make the emperor happy, so as to make his guilt lighter.

However, Zhao Huan will not punish him and Sun Li excessively because of the divine soldiers, after all, the emperor is the last clapper.

Wang Song nodded, and pondered: "Xianggong, if the lower officials are not wrong, the losses of the Jurchen soldiers are tens of thousands, and they should be above the casualties of our army!"

There was a buzz of exclamation in the hall. Since the Jurchen army invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, this was a great victory that the Great Song army had never had.

Zhao Huan frowned and said, "Although General Wang has won a great victory, it is gratifying. But General Wang only has more than 30,000 elite divisions, and the Jurchens have about 200,000 tigers and wolves, so it seems that Bianliang City is still in danger. ”

The ministers below also shook their heads frequently and sighed again and again, as if this disaster of destroying the country was inevitable. Some timid courtiers wanted to propose peace, but Tang Ke of the Lord and faction had already lost power, Geng Nanzhong sent an envoy to Hebei, and today was a complete victory, so he kept his mouth shut, and did not want to anger the Son of Heaven.

Wang Song hugged his fists and said: "Back to the saint, it's actually not. The Jurchen army nominally numbered 200,000 people, but in fact it was no more than 1450,000. The Jurchens had to keep at least 40,000 to 50,000 horses, and against the western army in Shaanxi, there were only 100,000 left. On the way to Bianjing, the minister annihilated more than 10,000 Jurchen troops, so that the Jurchens were more than 80,000 people at most. Our army is in Tokyo, at least 50,000 or 60,000, how can the Jin army attack it!"

Zhao Huan showed a look of surprise on his face, he nodded and asked, "Wang Qing's family, what is the situation, what happened, you came one by one."

Wang Song pointed to the two boxes next to him and said, "This time I entered Beijing, and Weichen brought two gifts to His Majesty."

Wang Song gestured, Niu Gao opened a box, and Wang Song said: "Your Majesty, what is contained in this wooden box is the head of the Golden General Wanyan Living Girl. The minister broke Luoyang City, and General Zhang Xian, the golden gun general under the minister, led 50 cavalry brothers to directly break into the thief's mansion and personally cut off the thief's head! ”

Hearing Wang Song's words, Zhang Xian involuntarily straightened his waist.

Wang Song nodded slightly, and Niu Gao opened another box.

"Your Majesty, this box contains the head of Wanyan Saili, the minister broke Ruzhou City a few days ago, and the minister's subordinate Yelu Yan cut off the head of this thief, which is the second meeting gift from Weichen to His Majesty."

Yelu Yan's face was flushed, but there was a hint of pride in his expression.

There were exclamations in the main hall, and several military generals in the hall went up and watched carefully around the box, and a military attache nodded and said, "Your Majesty, that's right." This thing is the head of the female dog thief of Wanyan, the minister has fought with this person, this thief is very strong, but he was unexpectedly killed by General Wang's subordinates, and the minister admires it!"

Another military attache also said: "Your Majesty, this head is Wanyan Saili. This thief is a Jurchen clan, nicknamed "King of the Heavens", and he is extremely cruel. This thief broke through the city of Ruzhou and slaughtered half of my people, which is indeed an unforgivable sin. The people of Ruzhou City in the next generation have thanked General Wang!"

Zhao Huan took a deep breath, his face flushed. He walked down the hall and looked at the heads of the two Jurchen generals in the box. He nodded and said, "General Wang, you are doing a good job." With you, I'm much more relieved!"

It was only at this moment that he felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before, and it could be said that he was relieved.

He walked down the hall, pulled Wang Song, walked in front of Zhang Xian and the others, and said loudly: "General Wang, quickly introduce me to these tiger and wolf warriors of yours, I can't wait!"

Seeing that Zhao Huan was so close to Wang Song, more than half of the civil and military officials in the hall turned their heads one after another.

The kings of the Great Song Dynasty ruled the world with scholars, when was it the turn of the vulgar warriors to enter the room, bathe in the emperor's grace here, raise their eyebrows, where is the face of the ministers in the palace?

Doctor Huanghuang, a relative of the emperor and the country, but he has to accompany a rude military man to laugh in the palace, which is really unbearable!
