199 At the critical juncture, Li Gang shouldered the heavy burden

The Spring Festival of the seventh year of Xuanhe came as scheduled, and Zhao Huan, the emperor of Jingkang, officially issued an edict to change the Yuan Jingkang, and then the next day, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the news that the entire Jin army crossed the Yellow River came, and they crossed the Yellow River in small boats.

At the same time, a golden soldier and iron cavalry rushed towards Kaifeng, along the way without any obstacle to the news also arrived, the news into Kaifeng City, the night of the third day of the first night leaked two drums, Zhao Ji with his wife, the prince, the emperor, out of the Tongjin Gate to flee south by boat.

This escape was too sudden, not only did the others have no psychological and physical preparations, but even Zhao Ji himself was not prepared, he had been preparing for so long, but he was not ready to go, so in a hurry, he only brought out one cronie, Cai You, and a few eunuchs, not even a single guard.

At the beginning, he took a boat, but the water flow near Kaifeng was gentle, it was too slow, and he hired a small sedan chair, the sedan chair was still slow, think about Jin Jun was riding a horse, such a speed comparison, how far could he escape? After thinking about it, for their own personal safety, they decided to continue to take the boat, and in the evening, they took a small boat carrying bricks and tiles, at this time Zhao Ji and the queen were already hungry, but the imperial dining room did not follow, and there was nothing to eat.

A boatman was kind enough to give them a cookcake.

If in the past, Zhao Ji, who was accustomed to exquisite food and fine clothes, would not even look at this cookcake, and felt that his eyes were dirty when he saw it, and the noble woman queen didn't even want to smell it, thinking that smelling this kind of pig food would lead to respiratory infections, but in this case, they were hungry in their stomachs and couldn't care about the dignity of their status, and besides, they didn't report their identity.

The inferior food of the inferior people is so delicious at this time, the two most noble people of the Great Song Dynasty have eaten such food for the first time in this life, chewing slowly one bite at a time, feeling the food slowly filling the vacancy in the stomach, that kind of taste is really wonderful, after all, from the moment he was born, Zhao Ji didn't know what it meant to be hungry.

This is a rare legendary romantic night in Zhao Ji's life.

After taking a boat, changing a sedan chair, taking a boat again, and eating cooking cakes, he went ashore again near Yongqiu, this time riding a royal mule named Pigeon Qing, and galloped towards Suiyang, until the rooster crowed, and only saw a little light.

The riverside city has arrived.

Here, they were lucky to get a kind old woman's hospitality, at this time the most noble people of the Great Song Dynasty have been hungry and cold, so they are very grateful to this old woman, I don't know what kind of thoughts and ideas, Huizong is very relaxed and humorous, the old woman asked him where he is from, he replied like this - "Zhao, living in Tokyo, has been a Shi, the eldest son is his own generation." ”

Hearing him say this, the guards all laughed, Zhao Ji glanced at them, and laughed himself.

He smiled.

Yes, that's right, he smiled.

The Jin soldiers came at a gallop, and when the Song soldiers were crushed, he smiled.

The golden soldiers swept up the storm and came, and when the prosperous and fragile Great Song was about to suffer a catastrophe, he smiled.

When Jin Bing attacked with endless greed and killing intent, when the people of the Great Song Dynasty were slaughtered, he smiled!

At dawn, they arrived at Shangqiu, which is Nanjing in the four capitals of the Song Dynasty, this night Zhao Ji galloped hundreds of miles away, here, the hungry Zhao Ji had a great appetite, and the money he carried finally had a place to use, he suddenly wanted to eat fish at breakfast, so he personally went to the market to buy, and the fish seller bargained with each other, he felt that he was the first and last emperor in history to buy things and bargain, he felt very happy, he felt very proud, he felt that life became fresh again.

It's much better than him being emperor in that palace day in and day out.

Maybe it's nice to get out for a walk......

He may have forgotten what he came out for, why he came out, whether it was a public trip or a half-day of leisure? It doesn't matter, just be happy, just be happy.

He's happy, he's happy, he's relaxed, he's like a wonderful little animal who sees the world for the first time, looking at the world with innocent eyes......

He had selectively forgotten the city of Kaifeng behind him, and his people.

And at this moment, Kaifeng City is also in chaos, and everyone knows how the emperor Zhao Huan was born, how he ascended to the throne, what does his birth mean, what is his duty, what is his obligation, and what is his power...... More importantly, how long is Jin Bing still from Kaifeng City...... Is there anyone who can resist a bit......

After all the answers pointed to the word "despair", all those who "understood" did not hesitate to choose to abandon Zhao Huan and his new government and flee south.

In this case, Li Gang once again went against the tide of history and walked to the palace to meet the new emperor who had just disposed of the six thieves, he planned to persuade the young new emperor to muster up the courage to learn from his ancestor Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng, and drive the expedition in person, now think about it, how similar is the current Great Song Dynasty to the original Great Song Dynasty? We could have turned the tide back then, and we can do it now!

My Majesty, take courage, you are not alone, you are not alone!

The new emperor plucked up the courage and issued an edict, and the official family will follow the story of His Majesty Zhenzong, and drive the imperial expedition to meet the Jin Kou!

How exciting, at this critical moment of life and death, the people of the city are panicked, most of the ministers of the court fled south, and the entire Kaifeng City is like the end of the world, and suddenly the new emperor is so cheered up, it can be said that it ignited the fire of hope of the public, and it can even be said that it ignited the confidence of the Han people to survive, and Kaifeng City settled down in the shortest possible time.

However, mistakes are often repeated, but correctness is very rare, Li Gang is not Kou Zhun, and Emperor Qinzong is not Emperor Zhenzong, and in less than half a day, he inquired through special channels and found out that a new edict was about to be promulgated -- the emperor would not personally conquer, and the emperor should immediately flee out of the city and take refuge in Xiang and Deng.

Li Gang was stunned for a moment, his brain became blank, he couldn't think of anything, he didn't want to think about anything, the emperor's order changed every day, capricious, regarded the edict as child's play, and regarded the promise as nothing, since this is the case, it was better to run away from the beginning, why did he issue the edict of resistance? Li Gang felt that he had been deceived and tricked, and the burning anger drove Li Gang to rush to the meeting hall.

According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, at this time, except for the minister, other courtiers were not allowed to enter the hall to disturb the emperor and the ministers to discuss national affairs.

He entered, he rushed in, pushed open the door of the council hall, and saw the high ministers of the ruling state - these people claimed to be the supreme heads of the countries that were said to be at the top of the world's civilization, and they were noble and incomprehensible, and the representatives were Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan, these two people were the heads of the hundred officials of the Song Dynasty at that time, and they persuaded Zhao Huan to escape.

Obviously, Li Gang's sudden appearance made it difficult for these people with noble temperament to accept, Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong angrily reprimanded Li Gang and asked people to drag Li Gang out, Li Gang stepped forward angrily, glared at Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong, and then looked at Emperor Qinzong Zhao Huan, the person who was pinned on his infinite hopes, but made himself so desperate.

"Your Majesty, your father entrusted the Sheji to you, and you left, is this appropriate?" Li Gang was patient, stood at the peak of morality, questioned the emperor, and also questioned Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong, this sentence, no one can refute, the word filial piety is perfectly interpreted by this sentence.

Emperor Qinzong was speechless and didn't know how to say it, but at this time, Bai Shizhong stood up, pointed at Li Gang and shouted angrily: "Li Gang! Let me ask you, do you think the capital can be defended?! ”

In history and in reality, there will always be such people, who are very cowardly on the outside, but extremely bloody and tough on the inside, from the rulers of the late dynasties to the ordinary people in some nests, and their faces are very funny when they are angry in some cases.

Li Gang sneered and asked rhetorically, "Is there anything stronger in the world than the capital?" The capital was built by Emperor Taizu himself, do you want to question the lack of strength in the city built by Emperor Taizu? What's more, the people of the temple are all here, where can they settle down if they leave here? Don't say that the Jin army is close to Kaifeng at this time, and if you flee at this time, can you outrun the cavalry of the Jin army? ”

Every sentence is directly poked in Bai Shizhong's heart, Bai Shizhong can't refute it, but he is a Jinshi, his own talent is undeniable, the most powerful ability of these people is to reverse black and white, so he turned to criticize the loopholes in Kaifeng's city defense, of course, he admitted that these were not Taizu's mistakes, but later descendants for some reasons.

Everyone knows who this descendant is.
