The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

On the tenth day of September, the first snow fell in Ningcheng on the evening of Wushu's death. In the early morning, it continued to flutter, dyeing the earth stained by the war into snow-white. Zhao Qi was not excited when he heard the news of Wushu's death, but was a little light.

He pushed the door and walked out of the bedroom. Zhao Xin hurriedly took two steps to put on a big cloak. Seeing Xi greeting a few inner guards to follow, he told them not to follow too close. He knew that the emperor was not in a good mood at the moment

, let him purify himself.

"Second Master, Wu Shu is the biggest enemy of the Song Dynasty. Your mortal enemy. Why is Your Majesty not happy now that he is dead?" Zhao Xin asked in the footsteps of the emperor.

"I haven't heard you call Second Master for a long time!" Zhao Qi walked to an empty place, turned his face and looked at Zhao Xin and chuckled, but did not answer her words.

"In the past, I thought it was easy to call Erye and kind. Now that Erye is becoming more and more authoritative, people around me also feel that the name is too rude as before, and I gradually forgot the kindness of the past." Zhao Xin said.

"Then do you think this snow is good?" Zhao Qiong reached out to catch a few falling snowflakes and put them in front of Zhao Xin and asked.

"Well, I like snowy days the most. The whiteness makes people feel refreshed." Zhao Xin nodded and said, but he also felt that the emperor was strange.

"But some people think this snow is very annoying, and business travelers will be forced to stay on the way. Homeless people have to endure the cold. For them, snow is a disaster." Zhao Qiong said slowly.

"Second Master...Second Master is sad for Wu Shu?" Zhao Xin understood that the emperor's words were meaningful and asked softly.

"I don't know, I can't explain it!" Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "In the past, I have always regarded Wu Shu as a strong enemy, and I want to get rid of it quickly, but when I heard about his death, I was not happy. Instead, I felt a little disappointed.

Feeling a little confused.

"Second Master, you are jealous of heroes!" Zhao Xin said. She knew that the reason why the Jin Kingdom could last until now was actually entirely due to Wu Shu's efforts.

After the Liao Kingdom destroyed the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom became the biggest enemy of the Song Dynasty in the world. The emperor was also very clear about this matter, so all his actions were ultimately targeting the Jin Kingdom, that is, Wushu, and thus Wushu

Shu treats him as his enemy, but he doesn't know that he actually treats him as an opponent in his heart, the only person in the world who can be an opponent. After fighting for so many years, Wu Shu finally dies under the emperor's conspiracy. Naturally

It made him feel that the world suddenly became boring.

"Is he a hero? Am I a hero again?" Zhao Qiong said with a smile on his lips.

"Of course, isn't this what the second master means by using snow? The two armies fought, each of them was their masters. Wu Shu worked hard for the Jin Kingdom and fought in all directions, so that the Jin Kingdom could maintain twenty under the pressure of our Song Dynasty under the pressure of our Song Dynasty.

In the rest of my life, I can be called the hero among the Jurchens, but I must be the evil one in our eyes. Similarly, the Second Master expelled the Jurchens, recaptured Yan Yun, eliminated the bad politics, and benefited the four directions. This allowed the Song Dynasty to revive, and now the Jurchens are in the north,

Of course, it is the hero in the hearts of our Song people. But you have siege cities and land and killed countless Jurchens, and of course they are the devils in their eyes!" Zhao Xin said with his eyes blankly. He understood that the emperor actually understood very well.

But it is difficult to relieve the sorrow in my heart, so I feel depressed.

"Yes, everyone is their own master. What's right or wrong? Leave these to future generations to comment on. But the heroes are lonely now!" Zhao Qi held Zhao Xin's hand and said leisurely. He understood that once Wu Shu died, it was equivalent to

The Jin Kingdom lost the last pillar, and his death also made the Jin Kingdom lose the big boss who could suppress the situation. It would inevitably make those who were ill-behaved and fight for the power that was vacant. In this situation, civil strife would be equivalent to the destruction of the country, and he

I also lost my goal of striving for many years and lost my direction.

"The second master was so angry that he used a trick to make people angry, and he is still talking sarcastic." Zhao Xin said with a smile.

"Oh, this blame is that he has been in a high position for a long time, and he has a bad temper. He can't rub the sand in his eyes. He can't stand it if he is idle. But if he makes himself angry, he will lose the hero's actions!" Zhao Qi shook his head and sighed.

"In my opinion, Wu Shu is blessed to die at this time. He no longer needs to endure the torture of illness, no longer have to work hard for this devastated country, at least he doesn't have to kneel at the feet of the second master. For him, that's definitely better than

Death is still painful!" Zhao Xin teased.

"Is I as unbearable as you said?" Zhao Qi said with his teeth bared and he looked like he wanted to eat people.

"Of course, the second master repeatedly used tricks against a man who was about to do anything, inciting the people to besiege an old minister who has made many achievements for the country, so that the Jin Emperor would be jealous of his uncle who has always helped him..." Zhao Xin exposed his life like a cannon

The emperor's background.

"I'm so angry that you are a subordinate. You dare to blame your husband. You are a wife and a country's people, and you dare to slander the king. See if I use family laws to warn you!" Zhao Qiong said in anger.

A tiger pounced to take Zhao Xin into his arms, but she didn't expect that she could escape flexibly. How could she let go? She shouted and chased after him, which scared the inner guard behind her...

..............

By the end of September, the Song army had completed the preparations for the siege again, but at this time, the food in Huining City had been exhausted, the soldiers killed horses to feed, and the people could only peel the bark, dig grass roots, saddles, and leather armor.

All the items were cooked and filled into the stomach, and some even started to steal human flesh, but no one went to do anything, because everyone understood how long it would take for the Song army to attack the city, and they starved to death.

Wu Shu finally swallowed his anger, but Wanyan Tan did not feel relaxed, but felt even more frightened. Only then did he realize that the Taishi who was "forced to death" was his greatest backer. But the various ways he was waiting for

The life-saving straw is still missing, but Ke Ke is fooling, Zong Qiang is perfunctory, Zhang Hao is supporting, Pu San Zhongyi is silent, Zong Xiong and others are missing, and there are no reliable people around him.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Wanyan Tan, who was already drunk, shouted loudly. In despair, he picked up the wine glass that had been neglected for a long time and looked for comfort in the world of the glass, but the noise outside the hall was noisy.

It disturbed his ambition and made him feel angry.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Southern Dynasties army is bombarding the North City!" Hearing that the emperor was showing his power again, an eunuch ran in panic and reported.

"Ah?! I'll drive to Wuyun Tower!" Wanyan Tan sobered up and gave a command after hearing this.

Wuyun Tower is five stories high and is a huge and magnificent building. Two years ago, Wanyan Dan built it specifically for banquets and is called the tallest building in the city. Wanyan Dan climbed to the top floor and looked north, and at this moment

The sparse sound of cannons can no longer be distinguished. The north city was shrouded in smoke and fire. On the city, countless soldiers and civilians were running and hiding to avoid the artillery fire. From time to time, people fell under the artillery fire, and more people flocked to the south city.

.

"Why not be able to counterattack the Song army?" Wanyan Tan asked hurriedly without seeing his catapult launching a bullet.

"Report to Your Majesty, the north of the city is the old subordinate of Sahelian. If you don't obey the command of the Zuo Du Commander, it will collapse after the cannons fire." An eunuch reported.

"Immediately order the commander of the Right Capital to go to the northern city and must stop the Song army from entering the city." Wanyan Tan remembered that in order to undermine Wushu, he first seized the military power of Heshilie Zhining, separated him from his subordinates, and placed him under house arrest in the imperial city.

Among them, but it is gratifying, it cannot stop the venue at all.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Tiger and Leopard Army robbed the people in the city last night. Many people were killed and injured. The Youdu Supervisor, who was patrolling the city, led his troops to suppress him and clashed with the Tiger and Leopard Army. The Youdu Supervisor was injured by a hidden arrow and was unconscious..."

He whispered and took two steps back, worried that the emperor would suddenly kill someone in anger.

"Why don't you report to me if you have such a big deal?" Wanyan Tan said in shock.

"Right... The Right Du Shushang said that you don't need to alarm Your Majesty for such a trivial matter and don't let us report it." The eunuch said in a panic.

"What?! This is also a trivial matter..." Wanyan Tan shouted. The important officials of the country were killed and injured by the rebels, and the eunuch dared not tell him just because of a happy word. This seemed extremely inappropriate.

"Your Majesty. Today, the Song army concentrated thousands of artillery guns to attack the northern city. The city tower, corner tower and urn city were all destroyed, and the Zuo Dushou commanded the command without any reason. As the city was broken, he fled in the face of the collapse of the city soldiers guarding the city.

It's dangerous, please make a decision early." At this time, Wang Hao hurried upstairs and reported.

"It's so gratifying that this man actually escaped at the battle..." Wanyan Tan said gritted his teeth. He boasted that he could repel the Song army in just a few days, so he granted the military power to him, but this result was in exchange for it.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to send someone to the city to block the enemy as soon as possible. Let's discuss the rest later." Zhang Hao saw that the emperor was about to go off topic again, so he quickly reminded him.

"Who should I send you?" Wanyan Ban was already in a state of lordship. In the past, the Grand Master was worried about these things, and he showed his determination to live and die with the people. The facts also proved that he had made him feel at ease.

It is better to send a pig to the battlefield than to lead a troops.

"Your Majesty, it is better to send Sahelian to the northern city as soon as possible. Scheduling the entire army is the best strategy." Zhang Hao said anxiously.

"This... let me think about it!" Wanyan Tan thought that he was the only one who could be used in the court, but he forced his father-in-law to death. Once he regained military power, it would be detrimental to him if he turned around.

But that's not good.

"Your Majesty, Sa Henian is upright and will never be a public expense for private expenses. You should still put the overall situation first." Seeing that the emperor was still hesitating, Zhang Hao knew the emperor's thoughts and recommended him again.

"Your Majesty, the North City has been bombarded by the Song army's artillery fire, and the enemy is about to enter the city." At this moment, another eunuch trotted in and reported the latest military situation.

"Okay, I'll send my oral instructions, and take Heshilie Zhining as the Privy Councilor, and immediately lead troops to the northern city to repel the Song army." Wanyan Tan looked out the window and saw that the northern city was already in chaos and the city was broken.

The shrill shouts were faintly heard, and he ordered helplessly...

When Heshilie Zhining arrived in the northern city, the situation was extremely critical. Under the cover of artillery fire, the Song army used digging tunnels under the city, and then placed a large amount of gunpowder to blow out five gaps in the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city and the soldiers who assisted in defending the city

Ding Zhuang suffered casualties and fled most of the time. The Song army infantry used cloud ladders to climb the city, and the cavalry rushed into the gap, which marked that the city had been captured. But Zhining had no way out. He gathered the remaining troops he encountered on the way and intercepted the deserters.

Some people and Ding Zhuang also voluntarily joined the counterattack ranks, but they only organized more than 10,000 people.

Even so, Zhining still led the group of mobs to quickly launch a counterattack against the Song army, trying to block the breakthrough and re-control the city wall. The general is not afraid of death, what are the soldiers afraid of? The soldiers follow him and launch more and more.

In order to charge fiercely, he defeated the Song army that had climbed the city. But the good times did not last long. As the Song army broke into multiple routes and the reinforcements were not delayed, Zhining could only struggle to support the crisis alone and resisted Xiangcheng.

Retreat and launched a street battle with the Song army.

By the afternoon of the war, the Song army had completely controlled the walls of the North City. Zhining led less than 2,000 remaining troops to retreat to the southwest corner of the city. After the persuasion of surrender was ineffective, the Song army launched a general attack after a fierce artillery fire. Zhining, who was eager for reinforcements to fail to arrive.

Knowing that his last moment was coming, he personally led his army to launch the final counterattack. In a blink of an eye, he was flooded by the dense rain of bullets fired by the Song army. No matter the soldiers, Ding Zhuang retreated, and still rushed forward until the entire army was wiped out.

Shi Liezhining demonstrated the last spirit of the Jurchens with his own death. With his fall, the northern city of Huining City fell. Only the southern city separated by a moat...

The north city was lost, Heshilie Zhining died in battle, Pusan ​​Zhongyi was seriously injured, Wanyan Dan finally realized that the defeat of the Jin Kingdom was irreversible, but when he wanted to run away again, he found that there was no possibility, and the last elite of the Jin army was almost gone

In the battle to defend the city, there is no strength to break through the increasingly tight encirclement of the Song army. There is only two ways to surrender and die. The next day, Wanyan Tan held a meeting of the grand court to discuss how to deal with the current situation, and all the officials remained silent.

, no one was thinking. Everyone understood that the Jin Kingdom had reached the point of exhaustion, and now it was just a matter of surviving. Life was just a day.

But some people don't think so. Wanyan Kexi found that the opportunity to realize his dream has been reached. He has great ambitions since childhood and hopes to ascend to the throne one day. However, his father is not good at being a stepmother, and he has no ability, so he can only

Being a idle prince. Without a backer, he was sent to a remote place in Liaodong to conquer the five countries after he became an adult. He thought that his talents would be buried and he would live in this poor and remote area. He had no chance to make a name for himself.

Unexpectedly, when Kexi was disheartened, when the Song army launched a large-scale northern expedition to the capital, the emperor issued an edict to serve the king, which gave him the opportunity to make achievements. Therefore, Kexi gave all his best to go to serve the king at any cost.

He was able to catch the pie that fell from the sky. Although he suffered a lot and died on the road, he felt that everything was worth it when he was rewarded by the emperor after entering the city.

As an outsider, Kexi wanted to be more low-key at first, but then he pushed him to the forefront because of rumors about the Taishi Wushu. The emperor tried his best to win him over to deal with the Taishi, so that he could control the military power. But at this time, he was the first to do so.

Very sober. My foundation in Beijing is too shallow, and the strength I really control is only the thousands of tiger and leopard army brought from the express route. So I can not move. I just watch the changes in the entire situation and the progress of the situation, but I am happy to be from the emperor

He found his incompetence in various actions.

The subsequent development of the situation made Kexi discover that he had the ability and the opportunity to change his fate and the Great Jin Kingdom. First of all, the most terrifying Taishi Wushu died in the curse of the inside and outside. The seemingly peaceful court was actually

Undercurrents, everyone is looking for a new backer, and the new crown prince naturally became the first choice. Many people began to come to show their loyalty, so he accepted everything without showing any silence. The next unexpected conflict caused the

Pusan ​​Zhongyi was seriously injured, which made Kexi remove the biggest stumbling block before his ascension. Zhining's death was able to become the actual controller of the army.

Since the opportunity has appeared, of course we must firmly grasp it! After the grand ceremony, Kexi thought the time was ripe, so he decided to take action to realize his dream. It was another month of bright stars and biting cold wind, Kexi mobilized the tiger and leopard

The army controlled the palace and personally led a team of troops. The summoning palace first killed the left prime minister Zhang Hao's family. Then there was Taibao Zongmin, Taifu Zongxiong, and even the dead Taishi Wushu family.

Let it go.

Huining City experienced another internal strife and bloodshed. The emperor was imprisoned in Wuyun Tower and the prime minister was killed. All officials below him who were pleased to think that they were threatening him were eliminated. At dawn, he had already controlled Huining Nancheng and the emperor.

The city controlled the court. Then Kexi threatened Wanyan Dan to issue an order to supervise the country. He proclaimed himself the King of Liao, Taishi, Taibao, and Taifu, as the left prime minister, the commander of the army inside and outside, and rode the imperial chariot in the imperial chariot.

He called his wife a concubine, his father Zongqiang was a grand clan, and his younger brother Wanyan Shuang was the right prime minister and the governor of the Empress Ning Prefecture.

Of course, the meritorious ministers will not forget them. They are rewarded, so that even the small centurion in the Tiger and Leopard Army is named as the left and right guard generals, and the monopoly power of Kexi, who is arrogant and domineering, is chasing him directly with a fierce momentum.

In the face of the sudden bloody conflict in the city, the civil and military officials and civilians who had become accustomed to it seemed that they were numb and did not show excessive concern. Now the bark and grass roots in the city have been eaten up.

Everyone is about to starve to death. Who cares about who he is in power? Let it be left to fate. Everyone seems to have handed over their destiny to Kexi!

He was happy to become a powerful minister below one person, but he also understood that he had only a bad card left in his hand. With half of the pull of Huining City, 20,000 remaining troops, a group of bark, and grassroots were almost gone.

The people who eat can't get the plate anyway. The only thing they can do is to fully accept the conditions proposed by the Southern Dynasty, pay compensation, cede land, and surrender.

A few days later, Wanyan Kexi dressed in imperial clothes and led Yiwei out of the city to meet the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. A dramatic scene in history was staged again twenty years later, but the parties involved changed and turned into Jin and Song Dynasty, with different characters.

It was staged, and it was really unhappy to retribution! Zhao Qi naturally happily accepted Wanyan Kexi's request to surrender, otherwise what would you think of the following drama? Kexi did not disappoint her expectations and immediately appeared on the stage and entered the role... (To be continued)
