Chapter 105: Iron Blood Has Tenderness

Looking at the Emperor Li Dynasty kneeling in front of him, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't feel much joy. For this kind of outcome, in fact, he had expected it a long time ago. Now that I've guessed it, there's no surprise at all. What's more, this is the king of a country!

For some reason, Zhao Xiaoxi, who is in Li Qiande, seems to see the future monarch of the Great Song Dynasty. Under the Jin Guotie Cavalry, haven't you ever suffered this kind of suffering? And those people of the Jin Kingdom, how could they have been so benevolent and righteous as he is now?

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and this saying is just as valid at this time. With the advent of muskets and artillery, Zhao Xiaoxi was also able to defeat the Li Dynasty with superior forces with inferior forces. And the offense is really overwhelming.

From the beginning of the war to the surrender of Li Qiande, the time before and after was less than a month. Can you say that this speed is not fast? But only Zhao Xiaoxi knew that if it weren't for the Li Dynasty's official ways, this speed would be a little faster.

Listening to Li Qiande's begging, as well as the plea of the people of the Li Dynasty. Zhao Xiaoxi also felt that the young and promising emperor of the Li Dynasty seemed to have a lot of prestige in the Li Dynasty. The idea of not killing him was really chosen.

glanced at Ambassador Zhao, and Zhao Da, who was standing beside him, quickly took the jade seal in Li Qiande's hand. In Li Qiande's reluctant eyes, it was handed over to Zhao Xiaoxi's hands.

In this way, one turn and one turn means the end of a dynasty. From this moment on, the Li Dynasty became history, and there was only one Annam Province of the Great Song Dynasty. And Zhao Hyo-seok will make the people here forget the existence of the Li Dynasty in the next few years.

Carrying this jade seal of the country lord of the same year, Zhao Xiaoxi stepped forward immediately. Said calmly: "King Dayue, get up!" ”

The King of Dayue is the official title of Li Qiande, the lord of the Li Dynasty, in the Great Song Dynasty. Just like Duan Zhengming of Dali, he can only be called the King of Dali in front of the King of the Great Song Dynasty.

Hearing that Zhao Xiaoxi let himself get up, Li Qiande, who knew that he had no choice at this moment, quickly got up from the ground. At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi walked behind him, and those soldiers and civilians said in front of him: "Let's all get up!" ”

Watching the kneeling Li Dynasty soldiers and civilians all get up. Zhao Xiaoxi continued calmly: "You must be curious. Why did this king raise troops to crusade against the Li Dynasty this time, and did not allow the Li Dynasty to cede land and pay compensation, and insisted on annexing the Great Yue Kingdom.

Now the king can tell you that you have brought all this upon yourselves. As a state and a neighbor. What did the Li Dynasty do to the Great Song Dynasty over the years? You people don't know. Don't the king of Dayue and you civil and military ministers know?

Beat Taizu from the Li Dynasty to establish the Great Yue Kingdom. You don't want to respect the Central Plains Celestial Empire, and you have raised troops and committed crimes again and again. During the period of Shenzong, he killed more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty in Yongzhou. You say. What's wrong with this king crusading against you? ”

Although Zhao Xiaoxi didn't need to say these words, he also knew that force could deter, but reason could convince people. Even if he is not convinced by his reasoning, he can alleviate the hatred of the Song army's invasion in the hearts of the people of the Li Dynasty.

Seeing that Li Qiande and the others did not speak, Zhao Xiaoxi turned around and said: "King Dayue, you should be glad that this king does not like to kill." At the same time, the king's first child will be born in the next few days, and the king wants to pray for him, so he will spare your Li family.

If you really think that this king does not dare to behead your Li family, then you really think wrong. You are the lord of the Great Yue Kingdom, the father of these children, the husband of these women, and this king does not want to be a wicked person.

From now on, this king will send someone to send you to Bianliang City. will also invite the emperor to give you the identity of a prince. As long as you stay in the capital, I believe you will know sooner or later that it is actually better to be an idle prince.

If it is not this king who conquers Thang Long City today, but the princes of those nomadic countries. Not to mention your Li family, even the whole city may be slaughtered. Therefore, the king wants you to remember that the king has given you a gift to live today. ”

Li Qiande, who was warned, thought about it and said honestly: "Qiande, thank you for the kindness of the king of Qiongzhou!" ”

If you destroy other people's country, you want people to be grateful in turn. Perhaps only a victor like Cho Hyo-seok can do such a thing. But in Zhao Xiaoxi's view, these words must be said, and Li Qiande must be made to say words of gratitude.

After saying these words, Zhao Xiaoxi changed his previous coldness, but walked very gently. In front of the child who was held in Li Qiande's hand before, he said with a smile: "King Dayue, this child is your youngest child, right?" Boy or girl? ”

Li Qiande, who didn't understand the purpose of Zhao Xiaoxi's move, looked very worried and said: "Lord Wang, the child is innocent?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxi looked very angry and said: "King Dayue, this king can even let you go, is it possible that you can't let go, is it still a child who is still in the strong praise?" This king just wants to feel the feeling of holding a child.

In order to conquer you, the princess of this king is about to give birth, but this king cannot accompany him. You should know how the king will feel as a father. Rest assured, this king is just hugging! ”

Li Qiande and the concubine who heard these words were also a little at a loss. But in the face of Zhao Xiaoxi's outstretched hand, the concubine didn't dare not give it. Soon, the child, who was born less than half a year old, was handed over to Zhao Xiaoxi.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who usually dances with knives and guns, seems a little helpless at the moment. Carefully holding the child in his hand, he looked very nervous and said, "This king hugs him like this, right?" ”

Facing Zhao Xiaoxi at this moment, don't say that the monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty were dumbfounded. Even Zhao Da and other Song Dynasty troops also felt dumbfounded. But who knows, Zhao Hyo-seok, who was a single in his previous life, is really looking forward to being a father!

Seeing that the concubine nodded slightly stunned, Zhao Xiaoxi looked very happy and said, "Zhao Da, how is it?" Your lord and I, without a teacher, have learned to hold children. When things happen here, the king will go back to New South City to pick up the child! ”

This kind of approachable, with an ordinary father, King Qiongzhou, made the people of the Li Dynasty feel very cordial. A prince who can be so attached to a child and a family will naturally not be a cruel and murderous person.

Holding the child and walking to Li Qiande, who was also a little dumbfounded. Zhao Xiaoxi looked very happy and said: "King Dayue, you haven't told this king yet, is this child a man or a woman?" ”

Li Gande, who didn't dare to slack off, really couldn't imagine it. is such a person, the seemingly unorthodox prince of the Great Song Dynasty, who destroyed his Li Dynasty. Is this person an anomaly, or is Li Chao too unlucky?

But he smiled and said: "This is the first male in Qiande!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said: "It seems that this kid has a good life, and as soon as he was born, he got the qualifications of the heir of the prince." If he could, this king would like to be a free prince, regardless of these cumbersome state affairs.

Today, you may still hate this king. But this king promises that when your children grow up, you may be glad that this king has given you a chance to live a new life today. Far from it, just these ministers, how do you feel at the moment? ”

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was holding the child, suddenly turned the topic to the civil and military ministers of the Li Dynasty who flattered him. For this kind of ridiculous inquiry, Li Gande also hated it in his heart, but in the end he could only sigh and not answer.

Handing the child to Li Qiande, who looked unhappy, Zhao Xiaoxi said: "Zhao Da, the cavalry of the guards will take the lead and seal the Dayue treasury." According to the previous account, the family property was confiscated according to the list. Tell the soldiers who enter the city that those who dare to rob the people will be subject to military law!

In addition, a notice was posted to warn the people of the whole city to obey the arrangements of our army. Those who dare to pick quarrels and provoke troubles will be killed. In addition, cavalry was sent to inform the rest of the cities that had not yet been annexed, and immediately open the gates of the cities and surrender to our army.

Then send someone to send an order to Zhu Datong and ask him to come here to work quickly. This king wants to rush back to Xinnan City to see the child, but he doesn't have much time to clean up the mess for him.

Oh! Don't forget, let someone help King Dayue pack up his things in Beijing. He cannot be allowed to take away except the property of the state treasury. The proper princely etiquette must be given to the king. As for the palace maids and eunuchs, they were all driven back to their hometowns.

Of course, the number of eunuchs and palace maids who are willing to follow the King of Dayue to the capital is limited to ten each. As for the maids around these concubines, they are not included in the list. The rest of the excess will be paid settling-in allowance and severance. ”

In front of Li Qiande, Zhao Xiaoxi, who gave these orders. Then he asked: "King Dayue, are you still satisfied with this king's arrangement?" Since you will go to live in the capital in the future, you will definitely have to bring some money.

But the price of Jingshi is expensive, and this should be manpowered, so it can be brought as little as possible. Oh! This king almost forgot that according to the law, there should be a guard for you. Give you a place for a hundred people, do you think it's okay? ”

Seeing that Zhao Xiaoxi didn't seem to be joking at him, he was really discussing with him. Li Gande also felt that it was not bad to be the king of the fallen country and to be in this role. This is how the people who heard these words thought so.

People are like this, once they see each other's eyes are smooth, then what the other party is doing is right and good. At present, Zhao Xiaoxi's feeling to the people of the imperial city is undoubtedly like this. As for going to Bianliang City, many eunuchs and palace maids don't want to go.

Of course, similar to Li Qiande's side, this old eunuch who is already nearly sixty years old. If he doesn't follow Li Qiande, then he is afraid that he will not be able to live. For this reason, his most ideal destination is to follow Li Qiande into Beijing and be a housekeeper for him.

Seeing that Li Qiande had no opinions, Zhao Xiaoxi suddenly said again: "That is Li Changjie, the captain of Dayue?" ”

As soon as he heard this, he watched Zhao Xiaoxi change back to that cold face. These ministers also seemed very afraid. And at this moment, Li Gande also stepped forward and said: "King Qiongzhou, the Taiwei was at home before, and he had already killed himself. ”

Belch! For this result, Zhao Xiaoxi was really a little surprised. But then, his words made Li Qiande kneel in front of Zhao Xiaoxi again. The reason is that Zhao Xiaoxi wants to behead Li Changjie all over the house to avenge the soldiers and civilians killed in Yongzhou.

I don't want this loyal old minister to end up not even leaving a single heir of the family. Li Qiande can only risk angering Zhao Xiaoxi and kneel down to intercede for him, which can be regarded as repaying the affection of Li Changjie, a loyal minister! (To be continued......)
