Zhao Ji died!

Let's use the emperor-exclusive word "death", after all, at this moment, he is still the nominal emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he was dying, what he wanted to be was a person who no one could know except for the Queen Mother.

I only know that when Zhao Ji died, his eyes were wide open, as if he was dead.

Such a major event could not be concealed at all, and the news spread throughout Bianjing City that day.

Zhao Ji's death was expected, since he was unconscious, flesh and blood finally appeared in the court, everyone knew that he was dying.

It was expected, but when it really happened, it still brought a lot of impact to people's hearts.

In any case, he was a generation of emperors and ruled the Great Song Dynasty for seven years. The officials and subjects may not like him, or even dislike him, but they maintain a minimum of respect for him.

Now that he is dead, the first to sensationalize is Baiguan. After all, some people were promoted by Zhao Ji, and they are still grateful for their favors over the years. As long as Zhao Ji is here, even if the situation is extremely bad, they still insist. If you can, help him when you need to, and do your best to be foolish.

It's a pity that he died, which was a big blow to a large number of people who were waiting. Without Zhao Ji, there are no more people or things in the Bianjing Imperial Court that are worthy of nostalgia and concern, and is there still the necessity and significance of being loyal?

The Queen Mother, isn't she about to be promoted to the Queen Mother?

Everyone shook their heads in unison, and in recent times, she has been too disappointing. After a series of things. The subjects of the Great Song Dynasty no longer had a good impression of her. Intended to murder the two princes of Emperor Renzong. This woman is a femme fatale. What qualifications does she have to honor the world?

If Zhao Ji's death made the subjects lose the last trace of attachment and sympathy for the imperial court, then the soldiers of the King of Qin pointed out the direction for the subjects in reality.

Conquered Luoyang overnight, and now that the army has arrived in the city, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken. In fact, except for Bianjing, officials in other parts of the Great Song Dynasty have already followed the king of Qin. For example, the king of Qin called on the generals of Hebei Road to stick to their duties and resolutely resist the attack of the Khitans.

A group of generals led by Wu Chong, the Xuanfu envoy, made their positions clear. expressed his willingness to obey the call of His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

There is only one word between the call and the command, but in fact it is a signal, a signal chosen by the people of the whole world.

And the emperor and the queen mother in Bianjing City are a little sad, his decrees can't leave the city at all, and now even the officials in the city have begun to turn a deaf ear.

It's okay for officials, now the Great Song Dynasty is almost paralyzed, and the Beijing officials have nothing to do, except for some key figures, their influence is very average.

But the army is different, with 300,000 troops guarding Bianjing. If something goes wrong among them, it's a matter of life and death.

Gao Taotao delegated the city defense to Guo Kui. This is one of their most trusted generals at the moment. As for the defense of the imperial city, Di Yong, the husband of the county lord of Qinghe, was in charge.

It's just that after all, there are as many as 300,000 people, and they can guarantee the loyalty of the generals at the top, but what about the middle-level generals and the lower-level soldiers? The situation of successive failures and the death of Zhao Ji have shocked and shaken them.

In fact, the strong walls and seemingly tight defenses, which were actually crumbling in front of the Western Army, were not at all surprising when they collapsed with a bang.

That's the way the situation is, it's very delicate!

Of course, at all times, there are foolish people.

Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Ji father and son have been in business for decades, if there are not a few loyal subordinates, it will really be a joke.

It is precisely because of their existence that Bianjing City can temporarily hold on to it, and there has been no major chaos.

It's just that Zhao Ji's death is also a big blow to them!

……

Zhao Zongchu, the twentieth son of Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu, was named the king of Nanyang County.

Not to mention, Zhao Yun has a lot of sons for this person, a total of twenty-two.

But now, Zhao Yunrang's sons are no longer of the same heart, and it is impossible for them to make profits.

Some of them have Zhao Zongchu as the core, and they still insist on surrounding Gao Taotao and Zhao Hao, who are staunch supporters. In the past, they had helped Zhao Zongshi do a lot of things, and Zhao Zhao would not forgive them after he ascended the throne, so they chose to resolutely help the thirteenth sister-in-law and completely break with Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin.

Originally, I thought that with the title of a serious emperor in hand, and the Jingying Forbidden Army in hand, I could completely compete with Zhao Ji.

But the result was a little unexpected, which caught Zhao Zongchu a little off guard.

Zhao Ji's life and death don't matter, what he cares about is the safety of Bianjing City, once the city is broken, will he have a good end? It is absolutely impossible for Zhao Zhao to forgive himself.

I heard that Zhao Zhao had sent an ultimatum, but it was vetoed by the thirteenth sister-in-law, so the result could only be that the fish died and the net was broken.

The time when the net is broken is not far away, and Zhao Zongchu clearly realizes that the city has been broken in the last few days. Although he didn't want this, but the fact is that he can't deceive himself about things related to his family and life.

It's just that if the net is broken, does the fish have to die? Zhao Zongchu didn't want to become cannon fodder like this. Maybe take advantage of the chaos of the "net break", and escape from the chaos.

For today's time, as long as there is a slight opportunity, we can't let it go!

Alas! Zhao Zongchu regretted a little, maybe he should have followed the third brother Zhao Zongsheng in the first place.

Zhao Zongsheng took refuge in Zhao Zhao and broke out those shocking news, which they had never expected. To some extent, it was Zhao Zongsheng's defection that led to the sharp deterioration of the situation.

At that time, Zhao Zongsheng also sent a letter, asking him to surrender to the King of Qin, take the initiative to admit his mistake, and at least save his life.

But Zhao Zongchu didn't have it after all, he didn't have the courage, and he didn't believe in Zhao Zhao's integrity. After all, he participated in the hunt for Concubine Lin back then.

He despised Zhao Zhao's mind and personally chose a path of no return, but now regret is useless, so he can only find another way!

After nightfall, two carriages and horses were parked outside the palace of Nanyang County, and the main family members of the palace were rushing out and boarding the carriage. There are millions of people in Bianjing, and it is very likely that they will be mixed in with the common people, save their lives, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape. For today's plan, it seems that there is only such a way to live.

After Zhao Zongchu, his wife, and their children got into the car, the carriage immediately started, crossed the state bridge, and drove towards the civilian area of Bianjing Gate. As the wheels of the carriage turned, there was a heavy creaking sound. Needless to say, the royal family must have carried a lot of gold and silver.

The carriage slowed down, and when it reached the middle of the state bridge, it seemed to come to a complete stop. Zhao Zongchu had a bad premonition in his heart, and he stretched out his head to observe tremblingly.

He first saw that the Bianhe River was still rippling, and then he saw a flash of light, and there was a bloody cut in his throat, and blood gushed out, and then he fell from the carriage, and his eyes were still unbelievably frightened......

Zhao Zongchu, the king of Nanyang County, died, and eleven members of the family, including their young son, were beheaded on the bridge with the state......

……

……

Shi Xun is the descendant of Shi Shouxin, the founder of the Great Song Dynasty, although he is not the eldest grandson, but in the past few years, he is definitely the most noble and proud of the descendants of the Shi family.

Just because he took the lord of Anding Puning as his wife, his status is very different.

Not for anything else, because the lord of Anding Puning is the daughter of Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu, and the sister of Emperor Yingzong. Although he is only the lord of the county, his status and honor are even better than that of the princess.

Shi Xun has such a wife, and his status will naturally rise. His pomp has even surpassed the two concubines of Emperor Renzong's own princess. Among the sons-in-law of the Zhao family, only Di Yong, the husband of the county lord of Qinghe, can be compared.

Shi Xun can obtain such a wife, naturally there is something extraordinary, he was born in a family of military generals, and he still has some military talents. As early as more than ten years ago, he served in the city defense army in Bianjing. probably thought he was useful, and he was a descendant of Shi Shouxin, and the lintel was not low, so Zhao Zongshi married his sister to him.

Over the years, Shi Xun has been living a chic life, and he has been staying in the city defense army, but he can't talk about reuse.

Until recently, the army of Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, approached Bianjing, and generals like him, who were absolutely close and reliable, were promoted!

Today, Shi Xun has become the second person in the defense of Bianjing City, second only to Guo Kui, who has rich combat experience.

If it is placed in normal times, it must be very proud. But recently, there is really nothing to be happy about, the army of King Qin is outside the city, and no one knows better than him how dangerous Bianjing City is.

To be honest, Shi Xun was still a little shaken in his heart, whether to surrender to King Qin. But when he thought of his background and his wife's identity, he was a little entangled.

Even on the way home on horseback, he was absent-minded, and he never noticed the dark arrows flying in the night!

……

……

Li Ding, a student of Wang Anshi.

Since the Wutai poetry case, if he completely offended the King of Qin, there would be no way back, so he won the trust of the Queen Mother Gao Tao.

Recently, he served as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, the magistrate in charge of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. This once glorious high-ranking official is now mainly responsible for public security and order in Bianjing.

Since King Qin arrived outside Bianjing City, all kinds of rumors have been flying all over the sky, and the people in Bianjing City are panicked and ready to move. Li Ding is naturally very busy, and he has no time at all.

The intense pressure made it difficult for him to breathe, and he was thinking that if he continued like this, it might be a dead end. But at the time of the Wutai poetry case, he completely offended the King of Qin, and there was no regret medicine in the world, so he could only stand up.

Tonight, Li Ding took people out to inspect Bianjing City as usual, and never came back all night.

In the early morning of the next day, his body inexplicably appeared in front of the gate of the Kaifeng Mansion and was nailed to the doorpost by a spear......

……

On this night, the night of the bloody Bianjing, a total of thirty-seven officials and generals were killed!

Including their families, there were 427 dead, and the murderer did not leave the slightest trace.

For a while, the people of Bianjing were terrified to the extreme...... (To be continued......)
