If the imperial court wants to talk to the Jin people about these goals, the most important thing is not to fall the capital, strengthen its own defense capabilities, and force the Jin people to talk. Just like the Yuanyuan Alliance, if it weren't for Zhenzong's personal expedition and the disgraced Liao army, the Liao people would not have sat down with you to talk.

Qinzong was very excited, as excited as Liu Bei found Zhuge Liang, and he immediately gave Li Gang the squire of the military department and was fully responsible for the defense of the capital. Li Gang didn't overjoyed to thank Lord Longen, but said lightly: "Your Majesty, who will listen to me?" ”

Yes!

This is the key, even the emperor is like a puppet, what can the squire of the military department do. Qinzong was like a silent cannonball, deflated all of a sudden, and returned to the decadent Tang Dynasty with sighs and sighs.

"Your Majesty, don't be decadent, I have a way to control the situation in the capital into the hands of Your Majesty!"

Song Jingxin suddenly interjected, which made Qinzong and Li Gang overjoyed, and hurriedly asked what strategy they had. Song Jingxin said with a smile: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Jingxin is here to sell a pass, and everything will be known tomorrow!" ”

Song Jingxin didn't tell them, but she couldn't tell them, she wanted to use the power of the people to force the old forces to hand over power, this practice was like a popular uprising, and it was strange if Qinzong was not scared to death when she said it.

"Swear to defend the capital to the death!"

"Punish the six thieves to thank the world!"

"The army and the people are united to resist the strong enemy!"

The next day, many students demonstrated in the streets, shouting slogans, waving slogans, and distributing leaflets, and many people followed suit, and the crowd was huge.

Chen Dong stood on the high platform and spoke loudly: "Folks! The invasion of the golden soldiers, the wolf smoke everywhere, the flames of war will burn to the capital, who is the disaster? It's the Six Thieves! The people are suffering, displaced, robbing homes and endangering the community, whose disaster is it? It's the Six Thieves! Today's events, Cai Jing is in chaos, and Liang Shicheng is in the back. Li Yan complained about the northwest, Zhu Mian complained about the southeast, and Wang Hao and Tong Guan complained about Liao and Jin, creating a gap. It is advisable to punish the six thieves and pass on the first four directions to thank the world. Punish the six thieves and give the people an explanation! The six thieves are also a sunny day in the Great Song Dynasty! Only in this way can the army and the people work together to resist the enemy! ”

"Punish the six thieves and give an explanation to the people!"

"The six thieves are still in the Song Dynasty, and it's a sunny day!"

······

The people were boiling, and the streets were full of people, waving their fists and shouting, waking up the Song Dynasty bureaucrats who were still sleeping.

Qin Zong only now understood Song Jingxin's strategy, which was a brilliant solution. For many years, the six thieves have controlled the officialdom, and the officials are all their cronies, and if the six thieves are really eradicated, the court will definitely control it in their own hands. He decreed that the troops in the capital should not take any radical actions against the people marching, otherwise they would provoke a popular uprising and would be held accountable to the end. However, Qin Zong secretly became a little wary of Song Jingxin, this woman was unusual.

If there is such a big movement, they will not stop without giving an explanation to the people. If Chen Dong and others who took the lead are arrested, it will inevitably cause a popular uprising, and when the time comes, they will open the city gate without the need for Jin soldiers to fight. Qinzong didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he went to Longde Palace to ask Huizong, who said that he didn't ask about the government, and everything was decided by Qinzong.

Chin Zong began a drastic investigation. After finding out the facts, Li Yan raided his house and killed his head, degraded Wang Huang, and imprisoned Liang Shicheng, at this time Cai Jing had already degraded the Yellow River, Tong Guan and Zhu Mian were Huizong's cronies, and Qinzong had not yet made up his mind to move the two of them, and a bad news came: Jin Bing had crossed the Yellow River!

How can there be time to deal with the two thieves, hurry up and set up defenses, and fight with the golden soldiers. In order not to cause chaos in the city, Qinzong issued a ban: everyone in the capital, including members of the royal family, is not allowed to leave the city!

As soon as the ban was issued, Huizong panicked and regretted that he didn't leave the city earlier to flee the capital, but now that the ban has been issued, he can't get out of the city without an amnesty. So he had to move from Longde Palace to Funing Hall to see his son and ask for a pardon.

Qinzong wished that Huizong would go, and with Huizong's ministers in the capital living in his shadow, he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, but the ban was issued by himself, and he couldn't pardon the order and throw a lot of it, so that the people could see the jokes! He thought silently for a long time and said: "It's a good thing for my father to go to pray for the country, and my son will definitely let him go, but I don't know who my father is with him?" ”

Huizong said: "I took the harem concubines, the prince, the emperor, Zhu Mian, Tong Guan, and led 3,000 victories to escort the army!" ”

After hearing this, Qinzong's heart swelled with sadness, and the family was gone, leaving me alone, father, are you giving me a throne? It's clearly for me to have a grave! No, not one of them should be left!

Qin Zong sighed and said: "There is a temple in the capital, and the hundred-year-old foundation left by Taizu needs to be defended by our royal family, and all the royal family is withdrawn, who will work for us in the small people?" The father is on top, and the son thinks that the prince doesn't have to take it! ”

Huizong was shocked: "If the Jin soldiers break through the city, won't they leave all our Zhao clan's bloodlines in the fire pit?" Your Majesty should think twice! ”

Qin Zong said lightly: "All staying in the fire pit is also dying to defend the ancestral inheritance, and you should die a well-deserved death!" If my father said so, bring all the emperors and grandchildren under the age of ten, they are all of our Zhao bloodline. The concubines and children of the sons and daughters will not bother with their fathers and emperors, and the sons and they will survive with the capital! ”

Huizong suddenly felt that his son was a lot stranger in a few days, but thinking about it, he was enough to save face for himself, Tong Guan and Zhu Mian did not move, and there was no major change in the officials left to him. Just wanted to get the pardon and turned around, but unwillingly turned his head and said, "Your Majesty, can you take King Yun with you?" ”

Qin Zong's heart ached suddenly, his father regarded King Yun as his successor from the beginning, and now he still thinks about King Yun in his heart, have you considered my safety? He said coldly: "It's not impossible to bring King Yun with you, if other princes ask about the back of their father's hands and palms are meat, why do you favor one over the other?" May I ask your father, what is your answer? ”

Huizong was silent, he sighed, and turned to leave. Qinzong suddenly said again: "Father, there are many people, tonight the second watchman personally went to Tongjin Gate to see off his father." Huizong turned around and was about to leave, and Qinzong said again: "Father, when praying for the blessing of the country, don't forget to burn some paper for my mother!" ”

Huizong was stunned, Qinzong didn't let his wife and son run away because he didn't believe his father, and his son was resentful?

I can't get out of the city gates!

The rich merchants and eunuchs in the capital are panicked, and the small people don't care, even if the golden soldiers enter the city, they have nothing to rob.

Hua Ziwei and the others were also anxious, discussing ways to get away at home, and everyone shook their heads, as if there was no way other than the pardon. In the past, they could have escaped, but Song Ziyu and the others were hostages, and they all appeared under the noses of many people, and it was not easy to escape. In this situation, it is probably just an ideal to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

At this time, the entourage reported that a eunuch had come to deliver a decree, announcing that Emperor Jingxin had entered the palace. Hua Ziwei gave the eunuch a few taels of silver and didn't inquire about the reason for entering and leaving the palace, thinking that Qin Zong and Song Jingxin had a good conversation on weekdays, Hua Ziwei didn't worry much about her daughter.

Qinzong was full of joy when he saw Song Jingxin, and after giving the seat, he couldn't wait to take out a holy decree and said, "Meditation, look, what is this?" Song Jingxin opened it and couldn't help exclaiming: "Amnesty order? ”

Qin Zong said: "The capital is about to face a bloody storm, the capital is in danger, what is the point of leaving hostages." Besides, you have designed to eliminate the six thieves and made great contributions to me, so it is reasonable to pardon you. Staying in the capital is dangerous, and with this amnesty, you will be able to leave the war quickly. Come on, quickly spread Yao Zhongyou to see me! ”

A eunuch trotted away with his fat body, his arms swinging like a clumsy big fat goose, which made Song Jingxin laugh. Qin Zong also smiled with him, and took out another holy decree and said: "Time is limited, to make a long story short, this is the holy decree of your father King Qin, after you go back, let him straighten out the soldiers and horses, be sure to lead the troops to King Qin, and defend the important land of the capital division!" ”

Song Jingxin put away the holy decree, and saw a meteor striding in, he knelt down and said, "Minister Yao Zhongyou knocks to see Your Majesty!" I don't know what is important for His Majesty to summon his ministers? ”

Qin Zong said: "You send fifty horsemen from my guards to escort Emperor Jingxin to the autonomous region safely. If they make a mistake, come and see you! ”

"The minister must complete his mission!" schoolgirl

Yao Zhongyou said categorically and hesitated: "But Your Majesty, the guards are withdrawn, how can your safety be protected?" ”

"I don't have time to talk to you, time is our worst enemy now, we can't afford to waste a single thing, hurry up and draw troops!"

Yao Zhongyou saw that Qinzong was decisive and took the order to leave. Qin Zong said to Song Jingxin: "Calm down, you also go and prepare quickly, with the protection of General Yao Zhongyou, you are expected to be safe all the way!" ”

Song Jingxin bowed to Xie Qinzong and turned to leave, but after a few steps, he heard Qinzong shouting: "Meditation! Song Jingxin turned her head to see that Qin Zong's eyes were full of concern and affection, and she asked softly, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Qin Zong bit his lip and smiled sadly: "Take care all the way!" ”

Song Jingxin's heart was also full of a kind of parting sourness, and she said, "Your Majesty, take care!" Then he turned around, and was just about to leave when he heard Qin Zong shouting, "Meditation! Song Jingxin turned around, but saw Qin Zong quickly stepping forward to hold her soft hand, and said reluctantly: "Actually, I hope you don't leave, with you, I will have the backbone, but the capital is a place of war, and I can't bear to let you suffer!" ”

Qin Zong seemed to have a thousand words, but at this time he felt that he couldn't say anything more, staring blankly at Song Jingxin's face, as if he wanted to engrave her beauty in his memory forever, and squeezed out two words for a while: "Go!" ”

Song Jingxin's face turned red, she felt sincere love and reluctance from Qin Zong's slightly trembling hands, and her heart was like being thrown into a stone, setting off ripples. She was reluctant to withdraw her hand from Qinzong's hand, she wanted to feel the concern that came from Qinzong's hand, and she understood that feeling.

After a long time, Song Jingxin withdrew his hand, then turned his head and left. Her heart was beating so hard that her eyes were already moist, and she was afraid that she couldn't hold back her tears. Song Jingxin walked to the door of the main hall and heard Qin Zong shouting loudly: "Jingxin, will we meet again?" ”

Song Jingxin's tears flowed uncontrollably, she turned her head to Qin Zong and said, "Your Majesty, we will meet, we will meet soon!" Then he turned and ran, and did not wipe away the tears, for they were sweet.

Song Jingxin insisted on not leaving, Hua Ziwei had to stay with her daughter, and let a teenage girl stay alone in the capital, she couldn't worry about it. She left a few special forces and Baili Fengfei, and the others went to the autonomous region under Yao Zhongyou's escort.

Seeing Song Jingxin return to his side, Qin Zong was both happy and moved, Song Jingxin stayed with him regardless of his personal safety, which was his biggest spiritual pillar. He immediately posted a notice throughout the city, telling the people of the city that he would follow the example of the former emperor Zhenzong, drive the imperial expedition in person, face the Jin Kou, and swear to defend the dignity of the Great Song Dynasty!

The people of the city are excited! The emperor doesn't want to die, why don't I wait for my life and fight with Jin Bing!

Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan are in a hurry, the emperor doesn't want to die, they still want to die. They are officials for glory and wealth, how can they enjoy glory and wealth without life? If there is no hair on the mouth and things are not firm, young people are easy to be impulsive. No way! I have to tell the new emperor about the stakes.

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and Bai Shizhong started to persuade Qinzong to move to Xiang and Deng to take refuge, exaggerating the disadvantages of the defense of the capital, and then standing on the height of national interests to persuade Qinzong to escape.

It's not that Qinzong doesn't want to escape, but now that the arrow is on the line, he can't escape. The whole family is in the city, can the family outrun the iron cavalry of the golden soldiers? Song Jingxin has stayed to accompany herself, and dropping the chain in front of her beloved girl, ordinary men can't do it, let alone the emperor! The most important thing is that once he escapes, the power that he has won so hard will be lost, and when the Jin people retreat, it is the day when he, the fleeing emperor, abdicates. He will never do it! He wants to gamble, as long as he guards the capital, he keeps the ancestral foundation, and who dares to argue with himself when the Jin soldiers retreat.

Qin Zong was annoyed by the chattering ministers, especially Bai Shizhong and Cai You, and he had the urge to kill when he remembered the flattery of the two of them towards King Yun in their letters. He didn't bother to pay attention to the debate of the deacons, and directly announced that Li Gang would enter the hall and let Li Gang teach them a lesson.

Li Gang laid out the facts and reasoned, and after a while, Bai Shizhong was speechless for his arguments. When the cunning Li Bangyan saw Qinzong Xuan Li Gang enter the palace, he figured out that Qinzong was definitely going to fight, so he kept silent. At this time, Qin Zong saw that the ministers were being argued by Li Gang, so he took the opportunity to say: "The ancestral foundation is in the capital, how can I leave?" I have made up my mind, and I will fight to the death with Jin Kou! Ladies and gentlemen, who can be the general? ”

Bai Shizhong said in a blink of an eye: "Cai Yougui is a privy councillor and a military attaché, he should provoke the beam!" As soon as this remark came out, the deacons all seconded it. Cai You will not be able to fight, he hurriedly said: "The minister is also a civilian official, and he is not very proficient in commanding wars. ”

Immediately, the two sides began to quarrel with each other, and Li Gang sneered and said: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, the national disaster is at the head, and you don't think about resisting the enemy, but you are arguing here, are you ashamed?" On weekdays, the imperial court supports ministers with high salaries, and now you should stand up bravely! Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan are the leaders of the ruling powers, and you should fight! ”

"You!"

Bai Shizhong exploded, but he was speechless to refute, but he just fought back sharply: "Li Gang, do you dare to fight?" ”

"Dare! But I, Li Gang, don't have this power! ”

Fell into the pit! Li Gang is in power! However, they had nothing to say, so they could only ask the emperor to decide. This is the case that Qin Zong was waiting for, and he took the opportunity to say: "Since Li Aiqing is willing to fight, I will hand over the defense of the capital to Aiqing." Message: Feng Li Gang is the right minister of Shangshu, and immediately leads all military affairs in the capital, and the privy envoy Cai You immediately transfers military power! ”

"Obey the order!" Li Gang was in high spirits.

"Obey the order!" Cai You was listless.

Qin Zong smiled again and said to Bai Shizhong: "Bai Aiqing, from today onwards, you will raise food and grass specifically for the army, and your seat will be lent to Li Aiqing first, after all, you have no identity, and no one will listen to your orders!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Qin Zong promoted Li Gang lightly, set up Cai You, kicked Bai Shizhong, and quietly completed the change of Zaizhi, who would say that he had no scheming at this time.

At this time, Qin Zong had a thought churning in his heart: "If the task of raising food cannot be completed, Lao Tzu will kill you, a thing that is difficult to pick!" ”

Wanyan Zongwang killed Xiang Bianliang in a mighty way, he wanted to take Tokyo in a battle, capture the emperor of the Song Dynasty and ask, why did he treacherously play Dajin Guo as a monkey?

During the march, Guo Yaoshi Pegasus came and said: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, our army is in danger of going deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, and it is okay to take Bianliang with one blow. If the Song people are strong and clear, our situation will be even worse. The last general thought that he should first hoard supplies, solve his worries, and then attack Bianliang. ”

Wanyan Zong said: "The war is imminent, how can the Song people be fools?" At this time, except for Bianliang City, where are there any supplies left for us, and they should have been transferred to the city a long time ago. What do you need to capture the city, but you can't afford it! ”

Guo Yaoshi smiled and said: "The second prince doesn't know, there is a Mu camel hill more than ten miles northwest of Bianliang City, three of which face water, one side is a hillside, water and grass are abundant, the terrain is dangerous, it is the Song Dynasty horse breeding and hoarding grain and grass important land. The second prince waved his army to take Mu Huogang, which can be attacked, retreated and defended, and has supplies, our army will be invincible, even if it is in confrontation with the Song Dynasty, it can also fight a protracted war! ”

Wanyan Zongwang was overjoyed and said: "If it is the truth, this prince will remember you a great achievement!" ”

Guo Yaoshi smiled proudly: "When Zhao Ji was the last general in Bianliang, the last general once played polo with Zhao Ji on the Mu Camel Gang, and there were 20,000 horses at that time, and the fodder and grain were piled up. Although this hill is faced with water on three sides, it is sandy, and the water is shallow to the horse's belly, and it can be attacked on all sides, and it can be down in an instant! The soldiers are fast, the last general is willing to lead an army to be the vanguard, and the second prince will be killed! ”

Wanyan Zongwang immediately allocated 5,000 cavalry to Guo Yaoshi and ordered him to quickly take Mu Huogang.

An officer complained to Han Futong, the guard general of Mu Huogang, with a disgraced face: "General Han! The Jin soldiers' attack is too fierce, and the brothers can't bear it anymore, so it's better to retreat! ”

Han Futong's face sank and said: "If you can't bear it, you can carry it for Lao Tzu!" The Jin soldiers intended to take the horses, grain and grass on the Mu Camel Gang, and with these materials, the soldiers were like a tiger with wings, which caused greater harm to our capital. Pass the order down, and then say that those who withdraw from the army, behead! If there are no arrows, even if you use stones, you have to smash the golden soldiers to Lao Tzu! ”

Han Futong led the army to fight the Jin soldiers on the hillside, and suddenly saw a soldier running over behind him and said: "General Han, something is wrong!" The Jin soldiers attacked from the waterway, the back mountain was lost, and the Jin soldiers had entered the Gang! ”

The sudden news made it pointless to hold the hillside in front, and Han Futong immediately ordered: "Liu Bao, you take someone to set fire to it, burn all the grain and grass, and leave nothing for Jin Kou!" ”

"The last general obeys!"
