"With these six major crimes, you are no longer suitable to be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Yingluo shouted loudly, "I ask you to issue an edict to abdicate and be succeeded by the prince Zhao Yang!" ”

Zhao Yingluo's voice was impassioned, and every word smashed into Zhao Gou's heart like a hammer.

His face turned pale, and his body trembled involuntarily, "You...... You don't want to spew blood! I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and if you commit the following crimes, it will be the most heinous crime! ”

"Hahaha!" Zhao Yingluo laughed, "Brother Huang, do you think you are still the emperor who is high above?" Tell you, any one of the six major crimes, so that you are not qualified to take the throne, now the Great Song Dynasty is in ruins, if you continue to be the emperor, there is almost no possibility of revival, if you know each other, you will quickly issue an edict to abdicate and be succeeded by the young prince Zhao Yang. Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking about brother and sister! ”

After Zhao Gou heard Zhao Yingluo's request, he was ashamed and angry. He felt that his imperial majesty had been trampled to the ground, and his heart was filled with humiliation and anger.

He glared at Zhao Yingluo, and his eyes almost erupted with fire.

"Zhao Yingluo, you traitor! You don't want to usurp the throne! Even if I die, I won't let you succeed! Zhao Gou shouted loudly.

Qin Hui, Huang Qianshan and others also followed suit, accusing Zhao Yingluo of being the culprit that provoked the civil strife in the Great Song Dynasty.

Their words are righteous, but their hearts are filled with fear and uneasiness.

They knew that Zhao Yingluo had heavy troops, and once the siege was launched, it would be difficult for Jiankang City to resist.

Zhao Yingluo saw that Zhao Gou's oil and salt did not enter, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

She no longer had any illusions and ordered the siege of the city! Zhao Yingluo saw that Zhao Gou's oil and salt did not enter, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

As she gave the order, the artillery that had already been prepared roared in unison, and the cannonballs rained down on the walls of Jiankang City. She held high the command flag in her hand and gave the order in a loud voice: "Siege!" ”

Under the bombardment of artillery, the five-zhang high city wall trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Jiankang City. The artillery roared in unison, deafening, and smashed the five-zhang high city wall into a thousand holes.

Each shell left deep scars on the city walls, and the walls were particularly desolate in the firelight. The soldiers defending the city screamed in terror and dodged the flying rubble and dust.

Each shell left a deep mark on the city walls, as if to completely destroy the impregnable fortress.

In less than half a day, a corner of the city wall was blown down, revealing a huge gap.

Under the heavy bombardment of artillery, the defenders on the city walls were terrified.

Zhao Yingluo saw that the city wall was broken, and ordered the whole army to attack!

Their original firm beliefs gradually collapsed under the destruction of the shells, and the fear in their hearts was like a flood of beasts.

In less than half a day, a corner of the city wall was blown down, and rubble and dust flew into the air, shrouding the entire city in a gray darkness.

The soldiers rushed towards the breach like tigers out of cages, and their shouts shook the earth, making the entire Jiankang City tremble.

After the city was broken, Zhao Yingluo did not hesitate to order the whole army to attack.

Zhao Gou stood on the city tower, looking at the surging army, witnessing all this happening.

Their figures looked particularly embarrassed in the firelight, and the majesty and glory of the past were now in vain.

He felt as if his heart was being held tightly by a large, invisible hand, making it impossible for him to breathe.

He glanced back at the fallen Jiankang City, and his heart was full of remorse and unwillingness.

He knew that the tide was gone, and his heart was full of despair, and he could not recover the defeat.

But he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to save his life.

He hurriedly ordered Zhang Jun and other generals to escort him, and evacuated from the west of the city in a hurry with Qin Hui, Huang Qianshan and other courtiers, preparing to flee from the east of the city.

After Zhao Yingluo captured Jiankang, she had no intention of stopping, she commanded the army to continue to pursue Zhao Gou, intending to capture him in one fell swoop.

However, Zhao Gou's escape was not smooth, Zhao Gou fled all the way with the remnants of the defeated army, and their figures looked particularly desolate in the wilderness.

The former emperor is like a lost dog at the moment, which makes people sigh.

Zhao Gou fled to Lin'an in a hurry, preparing to escape by sea by boat from Lin'an. However, what he never expected was that Lin'an City had already been broken by the army commanded by Han Shizhong. When Zhao Gou and his party arrived at Lin'an City, they saw that the city gate was wide open, and Han Shizhong's army had already occupied Lin'an City.

It turned out that when Zhao Yingluo attacked Jiankang, Han Shizhong took the opportunity to quickly cross the river with the support of Wen Boyuan's naval army and defeated Guo Dada's army.

There were not many defenders in Lin'an City, and with the support of Zhu Shengfei and other subjects of the main battle faction, they were forced to surrender Kaicheng.

Zhao Gou saw that Lin'an had lost ground and had no way to escape, and his heart was even more panicked.

Later, Zhao Yingluo's pursuers were in hot pursuit, and Han Shizhong's army blocked the way, and he was trapped in Suzhou and couldn't retreat.

At this moment, Zhao Gou has completely lost his former majesty and calmness, and he is like an ant on a hot pot, at a loss.

He was ready to flee by sea from Lin'an, but he never expected that Lin'an City had already been broken by the army commanded by Han Shizhong.

In desperation, Zhao Gou had no choice but to send Zhao Ding to Zhao Yingluo's camp to discuss peace.

Zhao Ding was ordered to come to Zhao Yingluo's camp with Zhao Gou's letter of request for peace and a batch of valuable gifts. He knew that the stakes were high in this peace negotiation, and that Zhao Gou's life would be in danger if it failed, so he had to do his best to persuade Zhao Yingluo to accept the peace terms.

When Zhao Ding came to the camp, he saw Zhao Yingluo sitting on the main seat, her eyes were cold and sharp, as if she could penetrate all hypocrisy and lies.

Zhao Ding's heart froze, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in the face of Zhao Yingluo's majesty and momentum. However, he knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and must do his best to fight for a glimmer of life for Zhao Go.

So he still mustered up the courage to step forward and salute: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" My Majesty has a letter to submit. With that, he handed Zhao Gou's letter of request for peace to Zhao Yingluo.

Zhao Yingluo took the letter and glanced at it, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer: "Peace? He also has today! She slapped the letter on the table, "Tell the imperial brother that if you want to negotiate peace, you must agree to my conditions!"

In Zhao Yingluo's camp, Zhao Ding and Zhao Yingluo launched a fierce negotiation. Otherwise, nothing to talk about! Her voice was cold and firm, making Zhao Ding shudder.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please tell me the conditions! As long as the official family can do it, they will definitely agree. He silently prayed in his heart that Zhao Yingluo could put forward a relatively lenient condition to give Zhao a way out.

"The conditions are simple! Zhao Gou must abdicate and give up the throne to the crown prince Zhao Yang! At the same time, he also has to issue an edict to the world to admit his six major crimes! In view of the young age of the prince and the fact that I am in charge of the country, this condition is not negotiable. ”

Zhao Ding tried his best to defend and intercede for Zhao Gou, hoping to persuade Zhao Yingluo to give up the idea of forcing Zhao Gou to abdicate. However, Zhao Yingluo did not let go, she insisted on completely ousting Zhao Gou from power and ushering in new hope for the Great Song Dynasty.
