Li Yanqing's 100,000-strong army marched to Lin'an City from the north and south at the same time, and in the morning, Li Yanqing personally led 70,000 troops across the Huantang River and set up a large camp five miles away from Lin'an North City.

Soon, Gao Shen came to Li Yanqing's camp with several carriages.

Hearing that Gao Shen was coming, Li Yanqing personally went out of the camp to greet him, the two hugged each other, Gao Shen sighed and said, "I was arrested by Zhao Ji and came to talk to you." ”

"Who's in those carriages?" Li Yanqing glanced at the carriages behind him and asked.

"Aren't you under the banner of Qingjun's side? There are fifteen people in total, including Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan, Du Chong and others, and even Lu Yihao and Fan Zongyin, who are almost Zhao Ji's team, and Zhao Ji has packaged and sold them to you. ”

Li Yanqing sneered, "This is called working for the master!" Sold his life to his master. ”

Li Yanqing immediately ordered left and right, "Send the prisoners in the carriage to the camp and be detained." ”

He didn't want to see these people, so he invited Gao Shen into the big tent.

The two sat down separately, and a pro-soldier came in to serve tea, and said profoundly: "Now that the general trend has basically been decided, what are you going to do next?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "The general trend has not yet been decided, there are still 20,000 rebels in the city, as well as Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan, Zhang Wei and others, beware of them jumping over the wall in a hurry and launching a coup d'état again." ”

"Do you think it's possible?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "It's very likely that when they find that they don't have a way to live, they will do everything, but I also played a move next to them, let's see if this move can work!" ”

Gao Shen groaned and said, "Let's not talk about the army first, let's talk about the emperor, what are you going to do with him?" ”

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "I want to hear your opinion?" ”

Gao Shen gritted his teeth and said: "My eldest sister married Old Man Cao, I was only three years old at the time, nominally Old Man Cao is my brother-in-law, but in fact I regard him as my father, he raised me, I know that the old man was poisoned by Zhao Ji, from my original intention, I would like to return his body in the way of others, and pour him a glass of poisonous wine, but reason tells me that I can't do this, Zhao Ji still has a great use value, he asked me to tell you, as long as you spare his life and let him retire in Yinlong Villa, he can promise you all the conditions." ”

Li Yanqing took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and then confirmed: "He can promise me all the conditions?" ”

Gao Shen nodded, "That's what he said, as long as you let him go, he can promise you all the conditions." ”

Li Yanqing was silent for a long time and said: "Just for the sake of his words, I can let him live for another year." ”

Gao Shen was stunned, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Let him enjoy it for another year, and when the overall situation is timed, he will die of illness, isn't it normal?" ”

Gao Shen understood, this was a good strategy for the king to eradicate dissidents since ancient times, and he knew that Li Yanqing would not let Zhao Ji go, but it was okay, the situation was settled a year later, when Zhao Ji died of illness, and no one would care about the cause of his death, thinking of this, Gao Shen nodded, "But what do you need him to promise now?" ”

Li Yanqing said slowly: "Zhao Yang was appointed emperor, but because he was young, I will be the regent of the country until he becomes an adult." ”

Gao Shen laughed, "I knew it would be this result, if you wanted to be independent, you would have gone back to Jingzhao Mansion a long time ago." ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "I have also thought about it for a long time, I hold the military and political power of the Eighth Route in the northwest and Sanchuan, if I am asked to give up this power, I can't do it, but if I hold on to the power, the Great Song Dynasty will actually form a split, so the best way is for me to govern, so that the Great Song Dynasty will not be divided." ”

"What about Zhao Yang when he becomes an adult?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "When he performs the weak crown salute, it will be eighteen years later, the time is too far away, and I can't think of anything at that time now." ”

"Alright! I'll go back and report to Zhao Ji, do you have anything else? ”

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said: "Don't be in a hurry to go back now, if you go back now, you will inevitably be harmed by Miao Fu and others, and when I completely take Lin'an City, it will not be too late for you to go back." ”

Gao Shen smiled, "Then I'll sleep well and wait for your good news." ”

..........

Just as Li Yanqing expected, when Zhao Ji took the confidant minister who was discussing in the Zhizheng Hall and prepared to hand it over to Li Yanqing for disposal, Miao Fu smelled a strong sense of danger.

Miao Fu knew very well in his heart that in order to protect himself, Zhao Ji would betray everyone, including them, and the civil officials who fell into the hands of Li Yanqing may still have a chance to live, and if they fall into the hands of Li Yanqing, they will definitely die.

At the same time that Gao Shen went to Li Yanqing's camp, Miao Fu summoned Liu Zhengyan, Zhang Wei, Fang Long, and Zhao Ping to urgently discuss countermeasures in the Chengnan military camp.

Miao Fu said to everyone with a gloomy face: "I just got the news, Zhao Ji went to Cao Mansion this morning, but he hit a nail, he went to Gao Shen Mansion again, stayed for half an hour before coming out, and then returned to Yinlong Villa, Gao Shen took Huang Qianshan and others to the camp outside the city, obviously, Zhao Ji was already begging Li Yanqing for mercy, using Huang Qianshan and others as a meeting gift, now the question is, what should we do?" ”

Liu Zhengyan groaned and said: "The last time Wang Dian was released, I think Li Yanqing is passing on a message, the main thing is that we can surrender without killing, does General Miao think we can still hold Lin'an City?" ”

Miao Fu looked at Liu Zhengyan sharply, "Wang Dian can surrender and not kill, but we can't, you touch your heart and say, will Li Yanqing let us go?" ”

Liu Zhengyan didn't dare to say anything, and Miao Fu said to everyone again: "Just don't do anything, catch Zhao Ji, the prince, the old and young of Caofu, the hundred officials, and the palace concubines all into the camp, and let Li Yanqing bring 300 sea ships over, and we will go to Silla to build the country, if he doesn't agree, we will die together!" ”

Zhang Wei slapped the table, "This method is ruthless, I support it!" ”

Fang Long and Zhao Ping expressed their support, Miao Fu stared at Liu Zhengyan, and pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword, "Do you agree?" ”

Just when Liu Zhengyan was about to agree, a miserable scream suddenly sounded outside, and a wolf's tooth arrow 'whoosh!' The shot was in Miao Fu's back, Miao Fu screamed, and one fell to the ground.

Without waiting for the other generals to react, the dense arrows were shot into the big tent, Zhang Wei and Fang Long were hit by more than a dozen arrows in a row, and died tragically on the spot, Liu Zhengyan was also hit by two arrows in the chest, fell to the ground, and was seriously injured.

Only Zhao Ping was not hit by the arrow, he lay on the ground, frightened and earthy.

At this time, dozens of knife and axe men rushed in, Miao Fu was just about to get up, but his head was chopped off by an axe, Liu Zhengyan suddenly saw Yang Qing walking into the big tent with a sword, Yang Qing shouted: "Kill them all!" ”

A spear pierced Liu Zhengyan's chest, and just before he died, Liu Zhengyan suddenly saw his father's face, and a strong remorse suddenly surged in his heart, how should he go to see his father?

But he had no chance, the cold light flashed, Liu Zhengyan's head fell to the ground, and Zhao Ping was also stabbed to death with a shot and cut off his head.

The knife and axe hand followed Yang Qing out of the big tent with five heads, and the corpses outside the tent were all shot by the divine arm crossbow, Yang Qing mobilized two thousand troops loyal to him, and took advantage of the opportunity for Miao Fu and others to gather in the big tent of the Chinese army, two thousand divine arm crossbows were shot at the same time, and all the more than 100 personal soldiers who were on guard outside the tent were shot, and the five people who were discussing in the tent were also shot by dense arrows, and two people were killed on the spot.

There was a military mutiny in the big tent of the Chinese army, and suddenly there was chaos in the southern military camp, and there were nearly 10,000 people in the military camp at this time, and the generals rushed out of the camp one after another and ran to check the situation.

Yang Qing ordered people to pick up five heads with bamboo poles, and shouted to the surrounding generals: "The Emperor Taishang has surrendered, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has an order, those who take the initiative to surrender can be released and return to their hometowns, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded, I have killed Miao Fu and other five thieves, those who are willing to receive rewards with me, please stand on my side!" ”

Dozens of generals hesitated for a moment, and they all stood on Yang Qing's side, and the remaining dozen or so people were all generals who had followed Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan for many years, but they were in a bit of a dilemma, not knowing whether they would be killed if they surrendered. ”

Yang Qing shouted: "Wang Dian's surrender has been pardoned, are you higher than Wang Dian's status?" ”

The generals suddenly woke up and knelt down one after another, "We are willing to follow General Yang to surrender!" ”

Yang Qing didn't dare to be careless, so he ordered his subordinates to take custody of four generals who were particularly loyal to Miao Fu, and then sent someone to contact Li Yanqing.

He and other generals led 10,000 soldiers to Yuhangmen in the north to persuade the defending generals to surrender.

An hour later, the white flag was erected at the head of Lin'an City, the city gate was opened, Yang Qing led more than 30 generals out of the city to surrender, and nearly 30,000 troops in the city put down their weapons and surrendered out of the city.

Li Yanqing immediately ordered the cavalry to enter the city, and at the same time, Cao Sheng also led 10,000 troops into Lin'an City and took over the palace.

The new emperor Zhao Xu, who had just ascended the throne for only two days, announced his abdication.

On the fifth day of October in the third year of Jianyan, the palace coup that lasted 20 days finally ended with the complete defeat of Zhao Ji.
