The Nanjing Mansion of Daliao is the old city of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty. After Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun, Liao Taizong changed the Youzhou Mansion to Nanjing, also called Yanjing. Since then, Nanjing has become the political, military, and economic center of the Great Liao in North China.

Nanjing is the largest of the five capitals, and its buildings are basically built after the old city of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is not the real imperial city of Liao, in the eyes of many people of Liao, this capital is the imperial city of Liao.

In this battle of Song and Liao, the Song army first captured Xijing of Liao, and now captured Nanjing Mansion. The remaining land of Sanjing, for the Liao State, is also under the front of the Song army, which is a bit precarious.

Yelutu, who fled in a hurry, originally wanted to carry some gold and silver treasures from the palace. I just didn't expect that the Song army's siege would be so fast. In the end, he didn't bring anything, and fled directly out of the city in the direction of Zhongjing under the escort of the imperial city cavalry.

Seeing that the princes who guarded the capital had fled, how could the soldiers and civilians in the city defend it?

With the city gate being blown open, the cavalry that entered the city quickly killed all the Liao troops who dared to resist. Gradually, the Liao army in the city that dared to resist was killed by the cavalry of the Song army who entered the city one after another.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who rode into the city with Zhao Xu on horseback, did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and the ghost cavalry army that followed him into the city cleared out all those who dared to appear in front of the team. For such a brave army, who in the city dares to stop the soldiers and civilians.

Arriving at the foot of the imperial city, Zhao Xiaoxi waved his spear and said: "Open the city gate, this king will take the emperor to ride the Great Liao Imperial City." ”

His order was given, and the ghost cavalry rushed into the city. Those eunuchs and forbidden soldiers in the imperial city who were already in a mess, in addition to kneeling down and surrendering, those who dared to run around or scream would all be shot by the ghost cavalry soldiers.

Although it is a bit cruel to do this, it can be thought that Zhao Xu's time is short. These Wu Wei who are loyal to Cho Hyo-seok. also knew that the emperor's death would make Zhao Xiaoxi very sad. As his subordinates, how could these guards be calm?

Zhao Xiaoxi, who rode into the palace, walked along the city gate to the palace hall. Until the group came to the bottom of the steps of the Great Liao Parliamentary Palace, looking at so many steps. Zhao Xiaoxi also knew that Ma would definitely not be able to go up.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who turned over and fell off the horse, hugged Zhao Xu off the horse, and said with a little worry: "Little Liu, do you want my brother to send you up?" ”

Zhao Xu, whose face was already a little flushed, also looked very excited and said, "No, I want to go up by myself." However, can Brother Yun accompany me? I feel relieved to have you around. ”

Regarding this kind of invitation, Zhao Xiaoxi said without saying a word: "Okay." Brother will go up with you! ”

Holding Zhao Xu's arm, the two brothers began to ascend to this palace where the Great Liao usually held discussions between the monarchs and ministers. There is Zhao Xu inside, the dragon chair that wants to fulfill the dream of father and son. As long as he can sit on it, he feels that he has no regrets in this life.

The ministers in the army who were qualified to accompany him, watching Zhao Xiaoxi's action of supporting Zhao Xu, also really understood what this meant. No one dared to say anything after him, and he followed the two brothers quietly, just like in the past. Stepped into the Great Liao's council hall.

Looking at the dragon chair placed on the main hall, symbolizing imperial power. Cho Hyo-seok doesn't stop. directly helped Zhao Xu to sit down. When he was about to let go, he saw Zhao Xu holding him with his backhand.

smiled and said, "Brother Yun, this chair is a bit big, let's sit together as brothers!" ”

The generals and ministers below also understood when they heard this, and what they guessed was really good. This kind of a dynasty. How can a chair be shared? This is a testament in disguise!

Seeing the sincerity in Zhao Xu's eyes, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say anything despite the discomfort in his heart, and quickly sat down. See this scene. The generals and ministers knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old! ”

Looking at these civil and military ministers who shouted long live, Zhao Xu raised his hand happily and said, "All the ministers are flat!" ”

'Long live thanks! ’

As these ministers of civil and military affairs who went out with the emperor got up, Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Brother Yun, I'm afraid that you and I haven't thought about it, one day we can be here and accept the visit of the ministers of civil and military affairs, right?" If my father saw this scene, he would definitely be very pleased. ”

For this kind of words, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't know how to answer. At this time, the red rhyme on Zhao Xu's face obviously made people feel a little abnormal. As he spoke, Zhao Xu suddenly coughed.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was a little worried, immediately stepped forward and said, "Little Liu, don't get too excited!" ”

Looking at the hand covering his mouth, which was already stained with blood, Zhao Xu was unwilling. But he also knows that his time is short. quickly smiled and said, "Brother Yun, I'm afraid Xiao Liu won't be able to survive this time." It's just that he can fulfill his childhood dream, and Xiaoliu is really satisfied.

At present, these civil and military ministers are all your and my confidant ministers. I thought about a few wills, hoping that Brother Yun would agree. I also hope that you Aiqing, in the future, can assist Brother Yun to rejuvenate my Great Song Dynasty as today. The king of Qiongzhou listens to the order! ”

Knowing what would happen next, Zhao Xiaoxi said a little sadly: "Minister Zhao Xiaoxi listens to the order!" ”

Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who had retreated two steps, Zhao Xu got up from the dragon chair and said: "I inherited the throne at the age of ten, thanks to the assistance of the Empress Dowager, I finally let the Great Song Dynasty and the people be safe, and there was no big mess."

Since I became in power, I have truly understood how difficult it is to govern a country and how cumbersome things are. Many times, I feel that I am too young to take on this great responsibility.

It's just that I don't dare to live up to the expectations of the former emperor and the empress dowager, and I have been doing my best. Fortunately, with the assistance of Zhong Aiqing, I can recover the state of Yanyun in my lifetime, and the shame of Emperor Xuexian in the past. I am very relieved! ”

Zhao Xu, who said such a call, couldn't help coughing again. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, who was standing below, could already see that the corners of Zhao Xu's mouth began to bleed. Even Zhao Xiaoxi immediately stepped forward to wipe it off.

Some strong said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, sit down and say it!" ”

Zhao Xu, who was pressed back into the chair, quickly breathed and said: "I believe that I don't need to say much, everyone Aiqing also knows that my time is running out." In order to ensure the stability of the Song Dynasty, I announced that from now on, the throne will be taken over by my cousin Zhao Xiaoxi.

I believe that in the future, under the governance of my cousin, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties. I also hope that all Aiqing will be able to faithfully assist the new emperor in the future and make new contributions to my great Song Dynasty. Please Jade Seal! ”

He said a word to the palm print eunuch beside him, and the old eunuch was also tearful and came over with a box. After opening the box, Zhao Xu personally wrote down the edict, covered it with a jade seal, and handed it to Zhao Xiaoxi.

Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who was also tearful, Zhao Xu said with a long sigh of relief: "Brother Yun, I hope you don't blame Xiaoliu for the previous incident." In this position, there are many things that you can't help yourself.

This time, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Bianliang City alive, and I still have a lot of reluctance to give up my wife and children in the imperial city. Today, I also entrust them to you, hoping that you can let them spend the rest of their lives in peace.

When I left Beijing, I left an edict in the ancestral hall, and the content of it was the same as this one. In fact, in Xiao Liu's heart, Brother Yun is the most suitable person to take over the throne. With you, the Great Song Dynasty has a future.

This time, I really want to compete with you. But I realized first-hand that fighting a war is really not something I'm good at. Not to mention going into battle, even if he was rushing around in the car, Xiaoliu felt that his bones were about to fall apart.

At the moment, I still can't hold out to the end, and as soon as I leave, someone in Beijing is bound to cause chaos. In my heart, I only have you as a brother. As for the other brothers, there is not much difference between there and nothing, you just have to watch and dispose of it.

With your ability, you must know that after I came out. Many people in Bianliang City are looking forward to my return to the west as soon as possible. Now that they have got what they wanted, they don't know if they expected this outcome?

Although I have not done anything to benefit the country and the people since I came to the throne, I have a message for my cousin. Sometimes, being too emotionally attached is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, when it's time to be ruthless, you still have to be ruthless. I'm afraid my heart hurts! ”

Zhao Xu, who was saying these words intermittently, also began to bleed continuously from his mouth. Even if Zhao Xiaoxi began to input internal force for him again, it was also difficult to control, and too much blood accumulated in Zhao Xu's body.

Faced with this time, Zhao Xu's words, His Royal Highness's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs also couldn't cry. They all knew that the emperor was afraid that he would not hold out until tomorrow. Even if the new emperor has already confirmed, I am afraid that some turmoil is indispensable.

Regarding the performance of His Royal Highness, these civil and military ministers, Zhao Xu quickly said: "Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be uncomfortable, people will die eventually." I can sit on the dragon chair of this Liao country in my lifetime, and I already feel very satisfied.

Of course, I hope that in the near future, the new emperor will lead you to continue to conquer the remaining three capitals of the Liao Kingdom. As long as the Liao State was taken, the Great Song Dynasty had the real scene of the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties. It's a pity that I can't see that day anymore.

Okay, while I'm still sober, let's see the new emperor! Speaking of which, I have thought about the scene of my cousin being visited by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs from the upper dragon chair when I was a child. But I've never had the chance to see it with my own eyes, and today I think I'll get what I want. ”

After Zhao Xu's words were finished, let the old eunuch help himself up, step down from the dragon chair and press Zhao Xiaoxi, who was surging with tears, to the dragon chair. For a time, the civil and military ministers, including Zhang Dian, all knelt down again to pay homage to the new emperor.

Wait until the voice of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs reached the ears of the troops who had already entered the imperial city. These soldiers who participated in the conquest of Liao all learned about the succession of the new emperor.

Even if they couldn't see Zhao Xiaoxi succeeding to the throne, it didn't affect them, and they knelt down and shouted with the sound of long live that resounded in the sky. In this long live voice, Zhao Xu fell into the body of the old eunuch with a relieved smile.

A person stepped forward, hugged Zhao Xu, and looked at this cousin. It really didn't last long, and the hatred for Murong Fu in my heart can be imagined. It's just that he knows that Zhao Xu has died, and the army's expedition to Liao is only afraid that it will come to an end temporarily.

If he doesn't rush back to Bianliang to rectify the dynasty and complete the bloodbath that the new emperor must go through when he ascends the throne. I'm afraid that Zhao Xu's death will really shake the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, he felt very guilty about this cousin, and he couldn't avenge him immediately!
