The shouts of fighting were getting closer and closer, and Li Yu was sitting in the cool hall, really cool inside and out.

The winter in the south was already damp and cold, because Jinling was trapped for a long time, the charcoal storage in the palace was insufficient, and the brazier could no longer be lit for heating.

The general trend is gone, the Song army is coming, and this day has not been delayed after all...... Previously, Yang Hao had entered Jinling several times to negotiate peace and negotiate surrender with him.

The first time he came, Yang Hao persuaded him: "Jinling is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the palaces and pavilions, cultural figures, are the efforts of the ancestors, whether these surviving treasures are destroyed in the war, all in the mind of Your Majesty." Now that the army is besieging the city, it is impossible to do anything, so why bother? Hundreds of thousands of people in Jinling, who have worked hard for many years, have served the monarch with the people's fat and people's anointment, and now the monarch is unable to return to protect the community, so he should always think about the people who have supported the royal family for so many years. ”

Yang Hao's words are sincere, but not as arrogant as the last time he preached Jiangnan, Li Yu was touched when he heard it, but Xu Xuan had not come back at that time, he hoped that Zhao Kuangyin could agree to his condition of being a minister and abdicate the throne and keep his ancestors. He still had a glimmer of hope, so he politely refused.

When Yang Hao came for the second time, the Song army had achieved fruitful results in the outer front, and the Song army on the northern front successively occupied Yuanzhou, Bailuzhou, Jiangyin and other prefectures. Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue of the Eastern Route Army, also eliminated the Tang army that went to aid and conquered Changzhou. On the southern front, Wang Ming's troops defeated more than 10,000 Southern Tang troops in Jiangzhou, Wuchang, and captured 500 warships.

Under such circumstances, if Li Yu knew the current affairs, surrendered his troops and horses as soon as possible, surrendered out of the city, and was defeated beautifully, or simply gathered the three armies and fought to the death with the Song Dynasty, then the king of the fallen country could be regarded as vigorous. However, Li Yu neither fought nor made peace, it was still a cliché, delaying for time, but secretly issued a secret decree, urging the defenders of Hukou to go to Jinling to relieve the siege, taking advantage of the precious opportunity that Xu Xuan fought for, making the last struggle.

However, the 100,000-strong army at Hukou was wiped out in an instant.

Hukou guard Zhu Lingyun waved an army of 100,000, known as 150,000, with huge ships, huge rafts to carry a large army to the north, intending to break the quarrying pontoon bridge, straight to the city of Jinling, they met in Anhui with the Song army sailor Liu Yusuo.

A big battle between the two sides immediately began, because the Yangtze River is shallow in winter, the water surface is not wide, Zhu Lingyun's army can only be lined up into a long dragon that stretches for more than ten miles, although it occupies a numerical advantage, but it is difficult to perform, it was blowing southeast wind at that time, Zhu Lingyun immediately made a decision, immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops, poured countless fire oil into the river, lit a fire, and burned the sky, and in an instant the Song army vanguard more than 8,000 people, hundreds of warships swallowed up.

Unexpectedly, even God came to tease Tang Guo, the fire just started, the wind direction suddenly changed, the southeast wind turned into the northwest wind, the fire burned against himself, Zhu Lingyun's warships and giant rafts blocked the entire river, and there was no gap if he wanted to move, and the fire was together, and the water surface of the Yangtze River, which was more than ten miles long, suddenly became a Great Wall of Fire.

Liu Yu, the Song general on the opposite side, was dumbfounded, and at this time, Wang Ming, the general of the Song Kingdom, rushed to hear the news and guarded both sides of the Yangtze River, but when there was a diving ashore, he was chopped back into the Yangtze River with a knife.

Jinling's only strong reinforcement collapsed, Li Yu heard the news when it was really burning, at this time, Xu Xuan came back, bringing not hope, but despair, Xu Xuan brought Zhao Kuangyin's famous words of the invader: "Lying next to the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!" ”

Yang Hao also followed Xu Xuan into the city for the third time to persuade him to surrender. This time, Yang Hao brought the latest battle report of the Song army, the Song general Ding Deyu and the commander of the Wu Yue army Qian Yu defeated the Tang army of 5,000 in Runzhou, the Runzhou defender Liu Cheng Kaicheng surrendered, and the last extension of Jinling's gateway was blocked, and Jinling has become a lonely city.

Li Yu was miserable and desperate, so he had to agree to surrender, willing to make the prince pledge Bianliang first, and surrender his land after negotiating the details of the surrender. But that night, he summoned 5,000 people who dared to die to attack the Song camp at night, fantasizing about turning the tide of the battle with a surprise attack.

It's a pity that under the collective efforts of the generals, the attack location he chose was not wrong, it was the Song camp in Beicheng, which was geographically the most suitable for night attacks, but the generals under him could see that this place was the most suitable for night attacks, how could Zhao Kuangyin, who had been fighting all his life, not see it? Zhao Guanjia had already personally issued an order, ordering Zhao Guangyi to strictly guard Beicheng, and the Song camp army in Beicheng had already been waiting for him.

A night of hard fighting, the five thousand daring soldiers of the Tang State were not willing to retreat, were all annihilated in the Song military camp, when cleaning the battlefield in the early morning, a number of general-level sigils were found from many corpses, this death squad is the elite soldiers in the Tang State defenders, many of them personally acted as a death squad, they were all buried here, the grassroots backbone of the Tang Army has been lost in a war.

This also angered Zhao Guangyi, he ordered Yang Hao to enter Jinling City, this time, it was not the conditions to persuade Li Yu to surrender and negotiate peace, but Zhao Guangyi's war letter! The time is tonight, the location is in Jinling, a decisive battle, there is no room for maneuver.

That night, the Song army attacked the city, bullets and stones were like rain, arrows were like clouds, countless cloud ladders, flying hooks, throwing cars, rushing cars, Xuan cars and chariots ......, the broad Jinling city wall was used as a battlefield, most of the experienced middle and lower level officers in the city died in the sneak attack last night, and now many officers who have just been promoted, with the white armor army who were hurriedly caught and enlisted, do not know how to use bows and arrows, rushed to the head of Jinling City.

Although the city is dangerous, it still needs strong troops to defend it, how can such an army give full play to the danger of Jinling City?

At this moment, the shouts are so close, the Song army is about to kill under the palace wall, right?

Li Yu stood up stupidly and walked out slowly, the hall was too cold, he was wearing a thicker one, his originally slightly chubby figure looked even more bloated, and the bright yellow dragon robe covering the outside could not add a little energy to him.

His Royal Highness, gathered a lot of maiko, palace laves, and chamberlains, all of them were pale, some people couldn't help but be afraid, and were crying, Li Yu stood still, silent for a long time, and said to them: "The city, I can't keep it." ”

As soon as these words came out, those palace people all cried and worshiped on the ground, and the cry shook the sky, Li Yu beat his spirits and said with tears: "You don't have to stay in the palace and die with me. The music and dance of the teaching workshop are the talents of Jiangnan for decades, it is not easy to gather, you wait to leave the palace immediately, find a secluded place and hide for the time being, no matter whether the surname Li or the surname Zhao in the future of Jinling, you are always indispensable to the powerful court. Alas, ......, give a decree, open all the gates of the palace, and let them take their possessions, go, go, you all go, so that you can do what you ......want."

The dancers, musicians, and palace attendants wept and bowed to Li Yu to thank him, and fled in a panic.

After a while, another group of people rushed in a panic, there were dozens of people, Li Yu thought that those musicians and dancers were going and returning, willing to live and die with him, his heart was not without emotion, but he looked at it, but it was some civil and military officials, it seems that their official positions are not very high, many of them are not very familiar with him, but when the national disaster is at hand, there are these loyal people who came to escort him, compared to his own henchmen, Liu Cheng, the Runzhou guard who surrendered to the Song army, how valuable it is? Li Yu's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ......"

Li Yu trembled and cried, and two lines of hot tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Your Majesty, the general trend is going, the ministers are willing to come to death, willing to ask Your Majesty to change the people's clothes, bring all the treasures, the ministers are willing to cover Your Majesty to blend in with the people to escape, the 19 states in the south of the Yangtze River have not yet fallen into the hands of the Song people, if you get the opportunity, Your Majesty may not be able to make a comeback."

Li Yu took a closer look, and this official looked a little familiar, as if he was a hall official of Honglu Temple, and he was still from his own family, and his surname was Li.

Li Yu asked, "Who is Aiqing?" ”

Li Tingfeng hurriedly said: "Li Tingfeng, the official of the Chen Honglu Temple. ”

Li Yu took his hand and wept gloomily: "Li Aiqing, the Song army has surrounded Jinling, and I am not used to walking, where can I go?" Come, come with me. ”

Li Tingfeng mentioned the treasures, Li Yu suddenly remembered the things he cherished the most, so he took them to the Chengxin Hall in a hurry, the side of the Chengxin Hall is the Qinghui Palace, these two places, are the places where the Tang State stores priceless treasures, and the eunuchs guarding here at this moment heard that Li Yu opened the palace door and allowed him to reincarnate himself, and he had already fled.

The treasures of Meng Chang of Shu are gold, silver and jade, all kinds of gemstones, but the treasures in Li Yu's eyes are not gold, silver, pearls and jade, but the only books and treasures that have been handed down from generation to generation. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, every time there is a war in the Central Plains, the scholars have moved south, and the annals of the classics have also fallen to the south of the Yangtze River.

The Book of Changes read by Confucius and the cowhide rope that wore wooden tablets were all worn by Confucius himself. The manuscripts of Lü Buwei, Li Si, and Sima Xiangru, the imperial pen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the final version of Sima Qian's "Historical Records", the battle of the champion Hou Huo Quai, the Lan Tingxu copied by Tang Taizong himself, and the handwriting of Wang Wei, Li Bai, and Bai Juyi...... This is the heirloom treasure accumulated by his ancestors and grandchildren for three generations, looking at this precious thing that every volume and page can be called a priceless treasure, Li Yu's heart is surging, and he can't help but raise his voice, and said in a loud voice: "I once made a bold statement, if the Song people crusade, they should wear armor and lead the army of tigers and wolves to the north to reject the Song army, and if something goes wrong, they should commit suicide and not return." Now that the city has been broken and the rebel army has entered the city, it is difficult for me to fulfill the first promise, but the second one, I must do it! ”

He straightened up, clenched his fists, and said in a loud voice: "Those who are reluctant to give up today, one is the queen and the other is these countless collections. Zhongqing's family, I ...... Today, there is a final decree entrusted to the secretaries. ”

Li Tingfeng hurriedly led those officials to listen to the order, Li Yu paused word by word, and said loudly: "State affairs can no longer be done, the king should guard the community, and if the society cannot be guarded, he should die in the community." I immediately entered the harem, and the queen committed suicide with a fire, and with Zhongsheji, you and others took down the four silk curtains that ignited the fire, burned the treasures in the Chengxin Hall and the Qinghui Palace, and buried them with me, and then went separately. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, by all means!" The officials were shocked when they heard this, and they all knelt down to persuade them, Li Yu flicked his sleeves and shouted: "I have this last will, do you want to disobey it?" ”

After drinking the officials, Li Yu said: "I have made up my mind, don't say more!" "Then I went to the harem.

Li listened to Li Yu's footsteps gradually moving away, slowly raised his head, and showed a trace of treachery in his eyes: "Everyone, can your net worth and life be saved, this palace is treasured, there is an adult in the Song camp, who does not like gold, silver, pearls and jade, but only likes cultural codes. Besides, these canons are the work of our ancestors, priceless treasures, can you really bear to burn them to the ground? The official's intention, it is better to save these treasures, and also save the lives of you and me, what do you think? ”

The dozens of officials looked at each other and were greatly moved, but one of them suddenly stepped forward and said angrily: "What does Lord Li mean by this, do you want to disobey the will of the Holy Lord?" Although I am a small minister, I also know that I am loyal to Sheji, and now Your Majesty is willing to die to die in Sheji, why do I regret this body, but follow Your Majesty, if you are afraid of death, just flee, how can you resist the holy decree? ”

Li Tingfeng smiled faintly, looked around, and said: "Everyone, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, each has their own dependence, if you can save your life, you and I are a little official, if you have no merit, in the chaos of war, who will protect you and me?" These unique books are the things that you and I save our lives, do you want to die for the community, or protect yourself and your parents, wives and children? ”

Everyone was silent, and their breathing gradually became heavier, and the official's face was flushed with anger, and he shouted: "Okay, good, hello, I also said that you entered the palace in danger, and it was really for the escort, it turned out that you only planned for yourself." Don't look at the danger of the city, the Song army entered the city, but this palace is still His Majesty's world at the moment, I will immediately go to the emperor to punish the traitorous ministers such as Er! ”

The man brushed his sleeves and left, an official next to him suddenly screamed, pounced on him and choked his neck tightly, the officials next to him also reacted at once, and looked around in a panic, someone rushed over and took the inkstone from the case, someone went to get the incense burner, and someone lifted the bronze crane, gritted his teeth and screamed, smashing the former colleague as a life and death enemy, the lights flickered, reflecting their actions on the wall, their screams were even more terrible than the official on the ground, and several officials smashed the man into a blur of flesh and blood, As soon as the murderous intent was gone, when he saw the tragic death of the man, he couldn't help but soften his hands and feet, and his face was whiter than that of a dead man.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all wise people who know what is happening today, and you should know to keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, not to mention that Lord Song will never spare you, we will not allow the world to resist the decree and kill our colleagues! This official has bought off the director of the imperial dining room and the guard of the West Gate, you immediately loaded the treasures into the car, and we went out of the palace with the car and fled to the Jiangnan Academy! ”

Dozens of petty officials and children had no masters, and they nodded like chickens pecking rice, and agreed in succession......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Your Majesty ......"

As soon as he saw Li Yu, Xiao Zhou greeted him with tears.

"Nuying, my country...... It's no longer guaranteed. ”

Li Yu burst into tears and said: "I want to die for Sheji, Aiqing is willing to go to Huangquan with me?" ”

Xiao Zhouhou sobbed and said: "Your Majesty, where else can the concubine go?" The concubine is the emperor's concubine, the city is broken, how can the concubine be humiliated by others? If the emperor wants to go, the concubine's life and death are casual! ”

"Good! Good! ”

Li Yu smiled with tears, he removed the lampshade, raised the candle, lit the curtains and curtains one by one, the fire spread rapidly, and the palace maids and maids couldn't dissuade them, so they fled with their heads in their hands.

"Female ......"

In the midst of the raging fire, Li Yu hugged his beloved wife's delicate body ......, "Boom! The huge city gate was climbed up the city wall, the Song soldiers who killed the defenders of the city gate were opened, and the army outside the city swarmed in. ”

The Queen's chamber has been transformed into a giant torch in the night sky, burning the sky.

"Boom!"

The corner of the hall collapsed, the sparks flew up like hundreds of millions of fireflies, Li Yu helped Xiao Zhouhou to take a few steps back in a hurry, a corner of his dragon robe had been burned, his hair was curled up, his face was full of black ash, and his current appearance was quite like a Kunlun slave.

He was really determined to die for his country, but he never imagined that when the fire burned, it would be so terrible. The flames burned and his skin seemed to burst open, and he couldn't imagine how painful it would be when the fire did hit him. The raging flames were so smoky that he couldn't breathe, so he ...... When a corner of his dragon robe burned, Li Yu suddenly changed his mind, and dragged Xiao Zhou, who was waiting for death in his arms with his eyes closed, and then escaped.

"Boom ......"

Another hall beam fell to the couch, Li Yu's body trembled slightly, and said in a low voice: "I...... We...... Let's ......"

Li Tingfeng emptied the Qinghui Hall and Chengxin Hall, took those officials and the head of the imperial dining room and a group of servants who drove the car, and set a fire before leaving, and there was a trace of destruction of the corpse.

Li Yu returned to the Qingliang Hall in a panic, and on the way, he saw the fire burning in the direction of Chengxin Hall, and he couldn't help crying.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin, Han, Jin and Tang Dynasties, the wisdom inheritance and cultural codes of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, he ordered it to be burned, and countless treasures turned into ashes.

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as he entered the Qingliang Palace, he saw Chen Qiao carrying a sword and snatching it over, this privy envoy personally served as the commander of the Divine Guard Army after the death of Huangfu Jixun, presiding over the defense of Jinling, as soon as he saw Li Yu, Chen Qiao said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, Yu Yan, Ma Chengcheng, Ma Chengjun and other generals are leading the army to block the Song army on the royal street, how can Your Majesty open the palace door to let people enter and exit?" As soon as the palace people fled with their belongings, many palace guards also took off their armor and dispersed in a hurry. ”

Li Yu smiled miserably and said: "Chen Aiqing, the matter has come to this, that is, to close the palace gate, can I guard this palace?" Let them go, I ...... Surrender has been decided. ”

"What?"

Chen Qiao was shocked and angry: "Your Majesty originally swore not to surrender, and the soldiers in the city are willing to live and die with Your Majesty and go to the national disaster together." Now that the palace gate is about to be broken, and Fang wants to surrender, won't he laugh at the world? Your Majesty, there is no immortal country since ancient times, and there is no reason to surrender, and you will be humiliated in vain, please close the palace gate and fight to the death. ”

Li Yu died once and did not die, and he no longer had the courage to die at this moment, he shook his head and sighed, but he did not speak.

Seeing this, Chen Qiao stomped his feet and said, "In this case, please ask Your Majesty to kill the minister." The minister is in charge of the cardinal, but he has a negative Majesty, and he has no shame to steal his life, and I hope that His Majesty can take advantage of the arrival of the Song army to kill the ministers. In the future, when the Zhao Guanjia interrogates His Majesty's crimes, His Majesty can pass the buck to the ministers. ”

Li Yu couldn't help crying when he heard this, grabbed him and said, "The number of qi is near, what is the benefit of Qing dying, how can I do it?" ”

Despite Chen Qiao's requests, Li Yu still refused to add the crime, Chen Qiao said sadly and angrily: "If the minister is not dead, how can he see the Jiangnan scholars?" Your Majesty wants to be a minister, but the minister can't bear to see Your Majesty as a king! After saying that, he walked out of the temple and saw that the city was on fire everywhere, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, raise his sword and kill himself!

"The cherries are falling and returning in spring, the butterflies are turning over the light powder and flying, and the sub-rules are crying in the west of the small building. Painting curtain bead foil, melancholy rolled gold clay. After the lonely people in the door and alley go, the remnants of the tobacco are sluggish, the incense of the furnace is idle, the phoenix is idle, the empty belt, and the hatred is still ......"

Li Yu wrote a sentence, shed a line of tears, and before he finished writing a poem, the old and loyal chamberlain Du Zhi rushed into the palace and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Song army has arrived outside the palace gate......

Li Yu's pen trembled, raised his head with a pale face, and asked in a trembling voice: "Who led the army, has he ever entered the palace?" ”

The inner servants all knew and said: "The Song army stopped at the palace gate, stayed outside the palace gate and did not come in, and the slaves and maids did not know who led the army." ”

Li Yu felt a little relieved when he heard this, and said in silence for a long time: "You go, tell Song Jun outside the palace gate, and just say it...... Let's just say I'm ...... Dropped ......"

As soon as they entered the city, the generals of all walks of life went separately to kill everywhere, Cao Bin led the troops to the palace gate, fearing that the chaotic army would enter the palace, burn and kill the emperor, if they let them defile the queen and force the emperor to death, it would be difficult to explain in front of Zhao Guan's family, when he arrived at the palace gate, he saw that the palace gate was wide open, and many palace attendants escaped with a large bag, and the guards at the palace gate also walked scattered, and couldn't help but be shocked, and thought that Li Yu had committed suicide, so the palace was out of control.

Cao Bin stopped the two palace people and asked about the situation, so he was relieved, and urgently ordered the department to guard all the palace gates, not allowed to enter or leave, and at the same time sent someone to report the news to Zhao Kuangyin.

After Yang Hao entered the city, he led his guards to carry the banner of the Song character along the Qinhuai River to the Jiangnan Academy, he had been assassinated here, and was very familiar with the nearby geography, when he rushed to the front of the Jiangnan Academy, he saw several scholars rushing to the gate of the academy, beating the courtyard gate, asking to go in for refuge, and at this time a red-eyed Song army saw them and had already pounced.

The Jiangnan scholars were very thin, and their bodies were like willow branches, and as soon as a few thick soldiers pounced, they screamed, and their voices were sharp and thin, and they were clearly women. The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It's women, they're all women." As he spoke, he pounced, and the leader hugged a 'scholar' one by one, pressed it on the ground, and kissed and gnawed.

"Stop! Your Majesty's strict decree, General Cao's strict order, no adultery and plunder, do you dare to offend the military order? ”

Yang Hao rode his horse and galloped loudly, and Mu Yu raised his hand and struck a flying knife, grazing the soldier's cheek and slamming it into the dirt, startling the soldier.

Looking up by the firelight, he saw Yang Hao dressed in military uniform, riding a high-headed horse, and several tiger guards behind him, one of whom was holding a big flag, clearly a general, did not dare to disobey the order at the moment, and hurriedly jumped up, only to confess a few times, and then took advantage of Yang Hao's appearance to see him clearly, and led his people to flee to other places.

Yang Hao rushed to the front, grabbed the reins of the horse and took a look, only to see that the soldiers were really women, all of them looked like women, although they were wearing men's clothes, they did not lose their color, and they couldn't help but sigh lightly: "The soldiers are in chaos, why did you come out and walk around, go back to your house quickly, close the door, once the defenders in the city give up resistance, the will to pacify will come, and you will be safe." ”

The woman who was thrown to the ground by the military man, her hat was flipped to the side, and her hair was scattered, she got up, looked at Yang Hao, and suddenly exclaimed: "The general on the horse, but Yang Zuo." ”

"Huh?" Yang Hao fixed his eyes and saw that the woman in front of the horse had her hair scattered, a pair of starry eyes, her face was very charming, and she was vaguely familiar, but at this moment, the night was dim, and she was dressed in men's clothes, so she couldn't remember who she was.

Yang Hao involuntarily pressed the hilt of the sword: "Hmm, you are?" ”

"Lord Yang, the slave family is a lady, and I have seen an adult before...... Both sides...... Belch...... I've seen adults several times......"

"Lady?"

Yang Hao was taken aback, looked at it again, and sure enough, it was her, Yang Hao couldn't help but be surprised: "Niang, why are you here?" ”

The lady said mournfully: "When the city gate was breached, the emperor released the slaves and maids out of the palace, the lady grew up in the palace, and there was nowhere to go, so she and a few good sisters packed up some soft things, pretending to be men, I wanted to flee to the meditation monastery to hide, I didn't want those military masters to be fierce, the Zen monastery was also set on fire by them, and the bronze Buddha was also smashed and moved away by them, the slaves were very afraid, thinking that the academy should be a place that the military masters didn't like, so they wanted to escape here, and didn't want to be ...... by them."

"I'm glad to see my lord, my lord, help......" said the lady, already kneeling on the ground.

Yang Hao was hesitant when he heard this, he didn't have the ability to help the world, and he couldn't manage the injustices in the world, but if he didn't take care of the things under his nose, he really couldn't help his conscience, if he drove them away now, they would have nowhere to escape, and they would inevitably be raped by the rebels, those soldiers fought here today, and tomorrow they fought on the other side, it was impossible to take the women with them, I was afraid that they would kill them with a knife after venting their desires, how could they feel at ease?

But if you want to manage it, how do you manage it? This academy is hidden by Li Tingfeng's clan cronies, Li Tingfeng was swept away in the Jiangnan foundation, and he needed to find a place to go, he had the heart to envelop Li Tingfeng for his own use, so he rushed desperately to protect his family, many generals in the camp had promised to protect some officials and officials, such an unspoken rule everyone knows and I know, no one will poke out. But he didn't want the cultural relics in Jiangnan to be destroyed in the war, and he was really greedy, and wanted to keep it for himself, if Li Tingfeng did this, those priceless treasures should be hidden in the academy now, if they let them see it...... It was not easy for the lady to see a general of the Song army who could speak, and when she saw Yang Hao sitting upright, she immediately hesitated, and she was afraid that he would leave with her sleeves and abandon her sisters, so she immediately kowtowed again and again, and begged bitterly: "Lord Yang, the life and death of the slaves and maids are all in the eyes of the adults, please be kind and save us." ”

As soon as the lady knelt, the women knelt down one after another, crying and begging in front of Yang Haoma, Yang Hao pulled the horse halfway, groaned slightly, and said: "Lady Niang, the official will send someone to escort you away, find a secluded place to settle down for the time being, and when the war stops tomorrow, you can find your own way out." ”

The few warriors behind Yang Hao seem to be more burly and powerful than the bandit-like soldiers just now, God knows if seven or eight big girls follow them, will they guard themselves and kill people.

Besides, looking at the current situation in the city, I am afraid that none of those officials and gentry will be able to escape, the rich families are all ruined, and the city is full of homeless people, and tomorrow ......they will find a way out, where is the way out? The soldiers and bandits went, the people and bandits came, and when the time came, there was still no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, if they could fall into the dust and save their lives, it would be a good end.

Now listening to Yang Hao's tone, it is clear that he is a soft-hearted, merciful and cherished jade, and he is also a big official, if he is let go, I am afraid that he will be out of this door, and if there is no such shop, it will be difficult to find a good master.

The lady immediately kowtowed and begged: "The concubine is thin-lived duckweed, there is nowhere to live, even if the adult is graceful, temporarily protect the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids have no way to live, please be merciful, take in the slaves and maids, the adults are merciful, don't be merciful, my lord, please......"

"Stop, stop!"

Yang Hao frowned, looked around, and no soldiers rushed to see for the time being, so he said in a deep voice: "Niang, if you follow me today, you will no longer be free, and...... Will definitely leave Jiangnan hometown, you ...... Got it? ”

Yang Hao really couldn't bear to push them away, but if he wanted them to stay, in order to ensure that he had the secret of the rare books and classics that had been handed down from the Spring and Autumn Qin and Han dynasties to the present, then the only way was to let them move to Luzhou with Li Tingfeng.

Of course, the lady "understands", her pretty face can't help but be hot, since the adults are interested in themselves, then they have a lifelong reliance, although shy, frightened and frightened hearts have settled down, those few dancers who can be called dancers are also "very clear", several women immediately agreed: "But the adults have to take care of their lives, the adults are the reborn parents of the slaves, the slaves and maids are grateful, and they are willing to serve the adults left ......and right."

Yang Hao sighed, turned his head and said, "Xiao Yu, you take them to the academy." A few of you, protect the left and right, and don't let the rebels disturb you! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ dawn, Zhao Guangyi wore the robe of the python dragon king and drove the horse to the palace gate.

Last night's war, knowing that Cao Bin had guarded the palace gate and did not let Li Yu escape, Zhao Guangyi put his mind at ease, he did not come immediately, surrendered, surrendered by the king of a country, what a beautiful thing, what a grand thing, this moment in the annals of history, of course, should be admired by all the people in broad daylight.

After a night of rebellion, the Tang army in Jinling City, which was fighting separately, surrendered and died, and there was no resistance at all, and Zhao Guangyi also restrained the rebels and restored order as much as possible. He walked slowly to the glorious palace city of the Tang Kingdom under the guard of the generals and walked slowly to the golden wall of the glorious Tang Palace City, and there were many soldiers on the side of the road, until they reached the gate of the palace, and after the soldiers, they were driven to watch the Tang people, at this moment, Zhao Guangyi's blood was boiling.

"Your Majesty......" The chamberlain Du Zhi stood in front of the hall and called to Li Yu tremblingly.

"In the past forty years, the country has been three thousand miles of mountains and rivers; Fengge Longlou is a night Han, Yushu Qiongzhi is a smoke, how many times have you ever known each other? Once classified as a vassal, Shen waist Pan sideburns out; The most hurried resignation temple day, the church still sang the parting song, weeping to the palace e......"

Li Yu was dressed in white, weeping and writing, looking at the palace attendants who had not yet escaped in front of the palace, and said gloomily: "Let's go!" ”

The palace gate creaked open, the Song army lined up in front of the noon gate, Zhao Guangyi stood on the horse, Cao Bin, Yang Hao, Cao Han and other civil and military officers stood behind the half horse, quietly watching the team slowly walking out of the palace gate.

Dozens of officials of the Tang Kingdom, dressed in white, with their left arms covered, Li Yu in the center, revealing his somewhat fat pale skin, leading a white sheep, unkempt, staggered, and surrendered in strict accordance with the ancient system. Behind him, two chamberlains, one holding a table and the other holding a national seal, carried a coffin in the center of the procession, meaning that the crime deserved death.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi was in a good mood, and he pacified the Tang Kingdom in three months, and he did it. The king of the Tang Kingdom was better off than death in front of his horse, and he could do it. What else is he not satisfied with?

When Li Yu knelt down to plead guilty, Zhao Guangyi jumped off the horse with a spring breeze on his face, helped him up with a pleasant face, and when the surrender was finished, he took off his robe and put it on for Li Yu, and comforted him with kind words, and then invited Li Yu to return to his camp with him.

Since then, Li Yu has been placed under house arrest in the camp, and when Li Yu was taken out, Zhao Guangyi smiled and said solemnly: "Now that Li Yu has surrendered, immediately inform the world of the news of Li Yu's surrender, the Tang State Prefecture but there are those who defend the city to surrender within a time limit, and those who disobey the order will be slaughtered once the city is broken!" ”

Yang Hao's heart sank, Zhao Guangyi did not order the slaughter of Jinling, and the slaughter of the living creatures, now that the emperor has ordered, what kind of situation should it be? Yang Hao's figure just moved, and Zhao Guangyi had already said in a deep voice: "The lord of Jiangnan has surrendered, and those who still do not surrender to the city are all loyal to the Tang Kingdom, and they will not be exterminated. ”

Yang Hao sighed and stopped.

Leaving the handsome tent, Cao Bin glanced at Yang Hao and said, "What Lord Yang said to King Jin, but don't you think so?" ”

Yang Hao shook his head: "If Jiangnan is like the Shu people, pulling the flag to rebel, and reuniting the army, I don't know how many casualties will be caused, and the King of Jin will kill to stop killing, Yang Hao understands the painstaking efforts of a thousand years old, and the so-called long pain is better than short pain, but it is ...... After the city is broken, the city will be slaughtered, which will inevitably kill too much. Many people were just trapped in the city as a last resort, and they did not swear allegiance to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Cao Bin said: "Exactly, Cao also has this concern, so he has ordered the fast horse to report to the capital, begging His Majesty to appease, less life and killing, hope...... The decree came down a day earlier. ”

He looked at the north and sighed, and said: "Yang Zuo, let's go and meet Li Yu, Cao Bin has something, and I have to ask my lord." ”

Yang Hao didn't know why Cao Bin came, so he had to go with him, and when he arrived at the place where Li Yu was under house arrest, Li Yu hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw the two of them, Cao Bin said: "Your Majesty has missed the lord of the country for a long time, and now the lord of the country is coming down wholeheartedly, and Your Majesty will be happy." Tomorrow, King Chitose of Jin will arrange for the lord of the country to go to Bianliang to see His Majesty, and the lord of the country can now make his family members prepare early, pack up the gold and silver, and take as much as he can, otherwise he will not be able to take out the register after the property is confiscated. ”

Li Yu lamented: "The criminal minister is afraid that His Majesty will be angry, and it is difficult to take care of his life when he goes to Bianliang, so what's the use of bringing property?" ”

Cao Bin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is merciful and will never harm the lord of the country." It's just that ......, I have to be awarded an official position, and I have a fixed number, and my life may not be as good as before. The lord of the country has been pampered for a long time, and he may not be able to endure the cold. If the lord of the country is interested, he will send a group of people and ask Lord Yang to take care of you and carry your belongings into the palace. ”

Li Yu was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him, and then accompanied Yang Hao back to the city.

The soldiers guarding the palace gate are all Cao Bin's subordinates, and they let Yang Hao enter the palace after getting the general's order, the dragons in the palace have no leader, and they are panicking all day, as soon as they heard that Yang Hao is coming, Xiao Zhouhou also doesn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly greeted him and cried: "Lord Yang, what is the matter with the lord of my family now, have you ever been guilty?" ”

Yang Hao had seen her, but she didn't remember that she had seen Yang Hao, the little week of the day was like a begonia spring sleep, delicate and beautiful, at the moment she was haggard, but her appearance was bleak. Yang Hao saluted her slightly, and said with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, the lord of the country is fine now." Tomorrow will escort the lord of the country and the mother to Bianliang to see His Majesty, Yang came today, is entrusted by the lord of the country, let the mother prepare in advance, pick the gold and silver soft and valuable, escort to the camp first, so as not to start tomorrow, hastily not prepare. ”

Xiao Zhou after listening to the Lord Li Yu is fine, only a little relieved, she thanked Yang Hao, think about it carefully, but don't know what to bring, she grew up in a rich family, and became the queen of the Tang Kingdom when she grew up, she is superb in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is not good at the way of financial management, thinking hard for a while, she went out to tell the inner servants to know, and picked up some property at will, especially the four treasures of the study room such as Li Yu's cherished "Chengxintang Paper", "Dragon Tail Inkstone", "Li Tingqi Ink", etc., and the pictures such as books and picture albums were carefully wrapped, and they were packed with seventy or eighty large boxes in one go. Handed over to Yang Hao with great gratitude.

Yang Hao looked at this beauty's bleak appearance and the six gods without an owner, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he said that he had stolen many priceless treasures from others, and he was a little weak when he saw the master today, so he stayed for a long time, and when he saw that she had packed up, he immediately said goodbye.

Yang Hao escorted the seventy or eighty boxes out of the Jinling City Gate, and then went to have Cao Bin's personal soldiers escort him without any major problems, so he left and went straight to Jiangnan Academy.

His people were still guarding the academy, Yang Hao entered the Jiangnan Academy, and Li Tingfeng immediately greeted him.

Yang Hao asked, "Is it done?" ”

Li Tingfeng smiled and said, "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Gold, silver, pearls and jade, can be destroyed and recovered, but these classics and articles are the quintessential treasures of my Chinese calendar for thousands of years, once lost, they can no longer be recovered, Brother Li can be maintained, even if it goes down for thousands of years, future generations will be grateful for the supreme merits of Brother Tai." ”

Li Tingfeng waved his hand and smiled: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's just because of Brother Yang's invitation, Li Mou did it reluctantly." Hehe, I can't imagine that Brother Yang is really a person who loves books, and he takes great pains to make a big effort, not to draw pearls and jade beauties, but to remember these atlases and chapters, which is really admirable. ”

When he said that the jewel and jade beauty, Yang Hao remembered the lady and those kabuki in the palace who he saved yesterday, and he smiled busily and asked, "By the way, the women who let Xiao Yu send in yesterday have settled well?" ”

Li Tingfeng said: "Since it was arranged by adults, whoever dared to disturb them is now settled in the back house." ”

Yang Hao nodded, smiled, and asked again: "Brother Li's foundation in the Tang Kingdom, now that the foundation is ruined, do you plan to wait for Jiangnan to be peaceful and then try to make a comeback, or ...... Want to move around? ”

Li Tingfeng's eyes flashed, and he asked rhetorically: "Now that the territory of Jiangnan belongs to the Song Dynasty, it is expected that in a few years, the Song State will recuperate, suspend the army and the people, clean up the internal affairs, and accumulate strength, I don't know when Brother Yang will return to the northwest and preside over the overall situation?" ”

Yang Hao thought about it for a while and said: "It will not be more than July this year at the latest, when the grass is lush and the mountains are green, and the sheep are fat and the horses are strong." ”

Li Tingfeng said with a smile: "In this case, Li will go to Luzhou and wait for my lord there, and as for my Li family's business, I will also move to the Western Regions one after another as appropriate." ”

Yang Hao said in his heart: "The people in the heir hall are really cautious, it seems that this Li Tingfeng has not planned to tie up to my warship with all his heart." There is no most advanced and perfect system in this world, only the system that is most adapted to local conditions and suitable for local conditions, if I want to rise in the Western Regions, I must not be like the new dynasty Emperor Wang Mang like a rigid set of perfect systems on paper, at least for now, I am afraid that I have to continue the gate valve system since the Sui and Tang dynasties, in order to get the full support of these big family forces. ”

Thinking in his heart, Yang Hao said: "Okay, Yang will repair a book when he goes back, and Brother Li can hand it over to Yang's father-in-law when he arrives, and he will definitely give it a lot of convenience." Yang went to the back and looked at those girls, I'm afraid...... They also had to entrust Brother Li and take them to Luzhou together. ”

"Adults are coming, adults are coming." As soon as a few girls who had survived the catastrophe saw Yang Hao, they cried out with joy as if they had seen the backbone of the Lord's heart. They are still dressed in men's clothes, although they are a little embarrassed, but they do not hide their beauty, and the people who came out of the Tang Palace really have the charm of Jiangnan, and they are all beautiful in the world.

"Are you here?"

The lady heard it in the room, and hurriedly took a look at her face with water in the basin, although she did not apply grease powder at the moment, and there was no fat powder available, but she was without makeup, clear soup and noodles, or flawless, despite this, she still stretched out her slender jade fingers, dipped in some water, straightened out a few locks of messy hair on her sideburns, and wet two distant mountain-like moth eyebrows, only then blinked her spring water eyes and greeted the door.

For her own benefactor, she doesn't dare to be careless, she is just a weak woman who entertains people with her voice, in the troubled times, to have a peace and tranquility, is her greatest satisfaction, now Yang Hao is her only support, since she arrived in the academy, she saw the car of extremely precious palace classics, she understood that Yang Hao did not have the heart to kill them, how difficult it was, don't you miss it.

Hurriedly came out to see Yang Hao, Yang Hao smiled at them and said: "You can stay here for a few days with peace of mind, tomorrow Li Yu will enter Beijing, Jinling City will not be so strict in a few days, and then the official will arrange for you to go to a place to ensure your safety." ”

The lady said in surprise: "Go to a place? Slave ...... Didn't the slave family and a few sisters go back to Bianliang with the adults? ”

Yang Hao smiled and said: "No need to ask, you just have to live here with peace of mind, since the official promised to save you, he will not let go halfway." ”

The lady hurriedly responded obediently: "Yes, how dare the slave family ask the adult, it's just ...... Thanks to the help of the adults and saving the lives of the little girls, our sisters are very grateful, and we all want to be able to serve the adults, serving tea and pouring water, making beds and stacking quilts, grinding inkstones, poems, songs and dances, and Chenghuan in front of adults......"

Yang Hao snorted and said with a smile: "Lady Niang, if you are really smart, don't think about me, you are also a dancer in the palace, not an ordinary palace maid, how can Yang be violent and make you a girl?" Although you can go to the place I have arranged for you first, if there is a desirable lover in the future, this official will be in charge, so that you can all be a good match, and live in peace from now on. ”

Where did the lady and the other girls believe it, and said busily and obediently: "The slaves and maids have to be taken in by the adults today, and they naturally serve the adults wholeheartedly, as long as the adults do not dislike them, the maids and maids will serve the adults for the rest of their lives." ”

Yang Hao sighed: "Don't be obsessed with brother, your sister-in-law is by no means a legend. You have to say this here, and when you get there, you must be careful what you say, or you will ...... Once you anger the two tigresses in the government's mansion, the official will not be able to protect you. The woman of my Yang family is like the immortal lamp that prays for blessing this life and transcending the next life, fuel-efficient...... Not a single one......"

Several women listened to what he said funny, and couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle, and a few pretty women dressed in men's clothes, when they covered their mouths and laughed, their eyebrows were crooked, and they were really spring-like.

The lady said: "The adult is the head of the family, can't you discipline your own lady?" ”

Yang Hao said: "Don't hide it, in the official's house, the official is a steamed bun with 100 catties of noodles and a waste dim sum, you go to Lu...... Ah, be careful, this official can save your life in the army of ten thousand horses, but if you don't know how to be well-behaved and fall into the mouth of the tiger, this official is powerless. ”

The lady looked at Yang Hao with a smile, and said in her heart: "This adult is also funny in private, and he is not as hateful as he was in front of the lord of the country in the past. With this master, presumably ...... It won't be sad in the days to come......"
