Chapter 312: Killing
The footsteps outside became clearer and clearer, and gradually a group of people appeared in the distance!
Seeing these people coming, Zhao Gou was even more excited in his heart!
Only soon his excited expression disappeared, and he jerked there!
Most of the people in the distance were wearing black armor, soldiers on the outside, generals on the inside, and under the support of a group of generals, a young man in bright yellow clothes walked in the middle.
In ancient China, there were only two kinds of people who could wear bright yellow clothes, one was the emperor and the other was the crown prince. But Zhao Gou, the Emperor Jianyan, is in the Funing Palace, and his crown prince Zhao Yang is also beside him, who is the person opposite?
"You...... You ......" Zhao Gou looked at that person blankly, he felt more and more that the figure of that person was a little familiar, and his face became pale at the moment!
Zhao Ding and Qin Hui had also seen the person on the other side clearly, and both of them were standing there blankly.
"See Your Majesty!" At this time, the guards of the Jiangnan Imperial Camp at the gate had already knelt down.
"Let's get flat!" Zhao Chen said lightly.
Zhao Chen had already entered the Funing Hall at this moment, he didn't look at Zhao Gou, Qin Hui, and Zhao Ding, his eyes were in the Funing Palace, and there was a trace of memory and remembrance in his eyes.
"The Funing Hall here is exactly the same as the Funing Hall in the Kaifeng Palace! When I was in Kaifeng Palace, I went to Funing Hall several times! It was the place of the Great Dynasty, and my father used to meet with his ministers there, and I used to listen to their deliberations. ”
"I still remember that in April and May of the first year of Jingkang, Zhang Bangchang begged to see his father and asked him to build a palace! I said to my father, the Jurchen is extremely powerful, and now that the Liao State has been destroyed, I am afraid that the destruction of my Great Song Dynasty will be in the mundane! I advised my father not to build a palace and to be careful of the Jurchens, but unfortunately my father didn't listen to me! When I left the Funing Hall that day and saw the singing and dancing scenes in the palace, I had a feeling that a great disaster was coming! ”
"After the Jurchen invasion, I once again advised my father to let my father move the capital to Jiangnan or Chang'an, but my father said that there are three towns in the north, so don't be afraid! But not long after, the three northern towns were conquered by the Jurchens, and the 100,000 family troops were also wiped out! When the master was dying, he also advised his father to move the capital, but his father still didn't listen! At that time, I will have to find a way to leave on my own! Now when I see this Funing Palace, everything is vivid, as if it was yesterday. ”
Zhao Chen sighed softly.
He thought of Song Qinzong, no matter what, it was his father. Although this father is unusually mediocre, Zhao Chen can't tolerate him suffering in the north, and sooner or later Zhao Chen will save this father.
"Your Majesty had such insight when he was a child, and the last will admire! Your Majesty is worthy of being the lord of my Great Song Dynasty! Wu Jiedao.
"It's a pity that I was still too young at the time, and I didn't change the power of the Great Song Dynasty, and I still couldn't let Kaifeng avoid disaster! Later, when I arrived in Guanshan, I ascended the throne, although at the beginning there was a compromise to oppression, but I endured for a year, and finally mastered the power of the court, which is what we have today! A smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face and said.
The two of them were talking here, and Zhao Gou stood alone, his whole body trembling.
Zhao Yang looked at Zhao Chen curiously, not knowing who this was, why he was wearing exactly the same clothes as his father, and why did he look a little similar to his father?
"Uncle Huang, long time no see!" At this moment, Zhao Chen finally turned his head, looked at Zhao Gou, and smiled.
Zhao Gou trembled, he opened his mouth, felt his mouth dry, and couldn't speak.
"Zhao Ding, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Zhao Chen turned his gaze to Zhao Ding and said with a smile.
"Emperor Xuanwu, why are you here?" Zhao Ding took a deep breath and said.
"Are you allowed to count me, and not you? If you want to unite with the Jurchens to deal with me in Guanshan, I will unite with the 30,000 soldiers of the Jiangnan Imperial Camp to deal with you here! It seems that I have won! Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Ding's eyes looked at Zhao Chen, and a chill suddenly welled up in his heart!
He has been to Hanzhong twice and met Zhao Chen twice, and this is the third time he has seen Zhao Chen. But every time he saw Zhao Chen, his impression was different.
When he saw Zhao Chen for the first time, he thought that Zhao Chen was a puppet in his hand. At that time, he felt that Zhao Chen was a child, not to mention, Zhao Chen was by no means Zhao Gou's opponent.
The second time he saw Zhao Chen, he saw Zhao Chen working as a carpenter in the house. At that time, he thought that Zhao Chen was an unprecedented faint monarch in China, and it was not until the mutiny occurred on the wedding night that Zhao Ding felt that something was wrong.
Now, of course, he knows that Zhao Chen was forbearance back then, and he was using some ridiculous actions to paralyze it! Zhao Chen was only eleven or twelve years old at the time, and he had such a thought, which was chilling to think about!
Over the years, Zhao Chen first defeated the Jurchens, then defeated the Western Xia, and finally forced them to join forces with the Jurchens to fight against Zhao Chen!
They originally thought that this battle of Guanshan would be able to eliminate Zhao Chen, but who knew that it was still a step worse, Zhao Chen actually joined forces with the Jiangnan Imperial Camp and conquered Lin'an in one fell swoop!
His eyes looked at Zhao Chen carefully, Zhao Chen's body is no different from an adult now, his expression is peaceful, but there is perseverance, confidence, and wisdom in his eyes. His appearance is not particularly handsome, he can only be regarded as a middle-class person, but he stands there, but there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd, and so many soldiers around him seem to be foils.
The imperial temperament on his body cannot be concealed, far better than Zhao Gou, and better than the former Song Qinzong and Song Huizong! Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, except for the two founding emperors, no one seems to be able to compare with him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ding's heart was cold.
He thought to himself that Zhao Gou was only afraid of death, and he Zhao Ding was only afraid of death.
Bang!
At this time, there was a muffled sound in the distance, and I saw Zhao Gou suddenly fall to the ground with a soft body.
Zhao Gou was so terrifying that he could no longer stand.
"Father!" Zhao Yang had already hurriedly run to Zhao Gou's side and looked at Zhao Gou very worriedly.
"Who is this kid?" Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Yang and said curiously.
"Your Majesty, this is the son of King Kang's traitor, Zhao Yang!" Miao Fu said.
Zhao Chen nodded. Over the years, the General Staff Headquarters has been collecting information about Jiangnan, including the information of this Zhao Yang, he has heard of this name, but it is the first time he has seen a real person.
"Emperor Xuanwu, what are you going to do with Emperor Jianyan?" At this time, Zhao Ding spoke.
"Naturally, there is no forgiveness for killing!" Zhao Chen said.
"Emperor Xuanwu, you can't kill him!" Zhao Dingdao.
"Oh? Why is that? Zhao Chen said.
"On the day of the Jurchen invasion, the world was in turmoil, Emperor Jianyan was the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and he gathered a righteous army in the north, the number of which reached one million. After the Jurchen retreated, he returned to Kaifeng and Shangqiu, forcing Zhang Bangchang to abdicate, and then he came to Jiangnan to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan. Zhao Ding said.
"As a vassal king, he blatantly usurped the throne, which is a great treachery! As a Han Chinese, he negotiated peace with the Jurchens, regardless of the safety of his father and brother, and was disloyal and unfilial, and everyone was punished! Zhao Chen said.
"Emperor Xuanwu, you are so brutal?" Zhao Ding frowned.
"Brutal? If I fall into his hands, I'm afraid I'm going to die! When I was in Xiangzhou that day, I wanted to take refuge in him, but he wanted to kill me! If he wants to kill me, I can't kill him? Zhao Chen said.
"Emperor Jianyan was also forced to do so that day! At that time, Kaifeng City had been broken, His Majesty and all the princes were captured by the Jurchens, only Emperor Jianyan and you, Emperor Xuanwu, escaped! Emperor Jianyan is old, and he should lead the world and stabilize the society! But Emperor Xuanwu, you were alive in the world at that time, you were the crown prince, although you were young, but your status was respected! Only by killing you can Emperor Jianyan truly return to the heart of the world. He also had to do it for the sake of the world. Zhao Ding said.
"So, is it justified for him to murder me?" Zhao Chen sneered.
"It's not reasonable, many things are hard to care about right and wrong." Zhao Dingdao.
"Even if everything is as you say, it's hard to blame for it. However, he actually made peace with the Jurchens! This is a traitor! I hate traitors the most in my life, traitors are not as good as pigs and dogs, and they must be executed! Zhao Chen said coldly.
"The reason why Emperor Jianyan negotiated peace with the Jurchens is also because Emperor Xuanwu, your threat is too great, and he has to do this." Zhao Dingdao.
"He and I are both children of the Great Song Dynasty, and we can handle the affairs of our own family in any way! But he wants to be a traitor, and I will never allow it! The Jurchens have just occupied thousands of miles of our land and have just killed millions of our Han Chinese, so you will negotiate peace with the Jurchens! Do you still have the slightest bit of face, dignity, have you considered those Han people who died? Have you ever wondered what the people of the world think? Zhao Chen asked coldly.
Hearing this, Zhao Ding was finally speechless and could no longer speak.
"I ...... I can die! In today's situation, since you have led the army, I will surely die! If I lead the army to Hanzhong and surround your palace, I will never let you go! However, I have one thing to ask for. At this time, Zhao Gou, the Jianyan Emperor who was sitting on the ground, suddenly spoke.
"Say it!" Zhao Chen said lightly.
"Yang'er is just a six-year-old child, he doesn't know anything, what I did has nothing to do with him, I hope you can spare his life." Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Chen with expectant eyes and said.
"He's just a kid, I'm not going to kill him." Zhao Chen was silent for a long time and said.
"Thank you! Thank you! Hearing this, Zhao Gou was overjoyed, he struggled to kneel down and kowtowed a few times to Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty, don't leave this child behind!" At this time, Wu Jie and Wang De next to him suddenly shouted together.
"He's just a six-year-old kid, what are you going to do with him?" Zhao Chen frowned and said.
"Your Majesty, if you don't kill him, Zong Ze, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and others may not take refuge in Your Majesty! Maybe they will try to rescue this child, use this child to make a fuss, support this child, and rebel against His Majesty! Wu Jiedao.
"We just have to keep an eye on this kid! After a long time, people will naturally forget about this child. Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, there must be no kindness of a woman!" Wang De said anxiously on the side.
"A child, why worry too much?" Zhao Chen said.
The six-year-old child in front of him looked very innocent, and his eyes were unusually bright. When Zhao Gou fell to the ground, the child's eyes were full of worry and concern. Zhao Chen really couldn't do anything to such a child. What's more, this child is also a child of the Zhao family, and they are all of the same bloodline, how can he bear to kill this child?
"Your Majesty!" Wang De shouted, trying to dissuade Zhao Chen again.
"Bring Zhao Gou to the army outside and kill Zhao Gou!" Zhao Chen no longer paid attention to Wang De and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Gou said gratefully again.
At that moment, several soldiers dragged Zhao Gou up and took Zhao Gou to the outside, Zhao Chen, Wu Jie and others also followed, and Zhao Ding and Qin Hui were also escorted outside.
Zhao Yang is still here, and there will be soldiers watching him.
Wang De still didn't leave, he looked at Zhao Yang, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.
"You...... What are you doing? Zhao Yang's small body was trembling, and he said with some horror.
Wang De gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled out the Yitian Sword on his waist, and stabbed at Zhao Yang on the opposite side.
Suddenly, a scream came!
Wang De's sword had already passed through the six-year-old child's chest and out of his back, and Zhao Yang's face was pale with blood in his mouth.
His eyes looked at Zhao Gou, who was being escorted away in the distance, full of pain and attachment.
"Yang'er!" After hearing this scream, Zhao Gou in front also let out a loud scream.
Zhao Chen and the others also stopped suddenly, Zhao Chen turned his head and saw the six-year-old child slowly falling to the ground and closing his eyes, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"I said he was a six-year-old, don't worry about him!" Zhao Chen was a little angry.
Wang De had already put his sword on the ground at this moment, he walked towards Zhao Chen and knelt down in front of Zhao Chen.
"Why?" Zhao Chen shouted.
"Your Majesty, the last will be guilty! In the end, I will go against Your Majesty's will, please punish Your Majesty! But the last general will still speak my heart. Wang Dedao.
"Say!" Zhao Chen said.
"When I was in Kaifeng that day, Your Majesty had the grace of knowing the last general, and it was difficult to repay the last general! Later, it was the last general who left the Kaifeng Palace with His Majesty, and the last general watched His Majesty grow step by step to the point where he is today, becoming the real king of the Great Song Dynasty! The last general would never want to see His Majesty influence the country and society because of the kindness of women! What Your Majesty can't bear to do, I will do it for Your Majesty! All the punishment and humiliation will be borne by all means! Wang De lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
Zhao Chen glared at Wang De angrily, but he didn't know what to say or how to punish Wang De.
"Your Majesty, the military order is like a mountain! The last general is guilty of the great crime of resisting the decree, please punish your majesty! Wang De said again.
"Send it down first, and then punish it later." Zhao Chen suppressed his anger and said lightly.
He strode forward, and the soldiers behind him immediately followed.
Zhao Gou was crying, he wanted to look at his son again, to touch his dead son's cheek again, but the rest of the soldiers had already dragged him forward.
