The Liangshan fleet and a large number of elite soldiers appeared in the river outside Zhouqiao, and the news was also passed back to the palace two moments later.

If someone could overlook Kaifeng, they would find that the originally bustling streets were now empty.

There were discarded items and lost shoes everywhere, and the whole city of Kaifeng was in a mess just like Zhouqiao.

This also includes the Forbidden City.

The guards of the imperial guards, who were originally tall and strong and wearing full armor, now all looked uneasy or even frightened.

There were more than a thousand of them on duty, guarding the key points of the palace gates in the inner court.

Usually, these guards were showing off their power and posing a majestic and majestic posture.

When they heard that the enemy army appeared in Kaifeng and was powerful and posed a direct threat to the city, these people showed their weakness.

Some guards even asked for leave and left, and even sneaked away.

At the palace gate, there were many officials waiting to enter the palace, but many of them left directly.

More officials slipped away.

The outer city, inner city, and palace city were all in chaos.

Zhao Ji was of course also in a mess.

When he first heard the bad news, he was like a thunderbolt.

He kept asking whether the outer city had been broken by the enemy army?

If the outer city had been broken, should he call some squads to run away directly, or defend the inner city and palace city?

I had no idea how to react.

Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty officials had no experience in running away.

After that, only Zhao Gou was an expert in running away, which could be said to be a god-given anomaly.

But the Tang emperors had difficulty running away.

From Emperor Minghuang of Tang to Emperor Suzong of Tang, Emperor Daizong of Tang, and then to Emperor Xizong and Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, all the Tang emperors were experts in running away.

The rebels entered the city, ran.

The Uighurs entered the city, ran.

The Jiedushis approached Chang'an, ran.

Huang Chao came, ran.

Anyway, let alone a city or a place, Chang'an is where the palace and ancestral temple are located, so it should be abandoned without hesitation.

Zhao Ji had no experience, or he was not smart enough.

He did run away when the Jin people invaded the south for the first time, but later the situation was unclear and the threat was still there, so he returned to Kaifeng. He did not run away the second time, was captured and sent north, and spent the rest of his life in misery.

It was a pity that this man was captured. If he were there, Zhao Gou might not have been able to establish the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although Zhao Gou was also shameless and spineless, this old ninth was still very good at scheming and deserved the title of Emperor Gaozong.

If the kings of the Southern Ming Dynasty had half the ability of Zhao Gou, the Southern Ming Dynasty could also succeed.

At this moment, Zhao Ji was only flustered and didn't know what to do.

Many concubines were also in a mess, and there were loud cries in the palace.

It was as if the country was destroyed.

Zhao Ji was also powerless to stop it, and he himself didn't know what to do.

Zhao Huan and others, including Prince Yun and Prince Kang, all rushed to the palace. The princes looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Many princesses also gathered, seeing their father, who was usually respected as a god, slumped in the ground,Many brothers also had mourning faces, and many of the princesses cried.

These princesses who usually enjoyed the wealth of the world and did not know the suffering of the outside world were also in a state of panic at this time.

In the eyes of these people, the people outside were not deliberately despised, but they and they also regarded the people as nothing.

Under the mighty power of heaven, how could the nobles pay attention to the ants under their feet?

Even Zhao Ji, the emperor, who was responsible for the family and the country and the prime minister, should have managed the court and taken care of the people, but this person only cared about his own enjoyment. Under the evil policies such as the Flower and Stone Gang, countless people died in vain. This person can be said to be heartless.

Zhao Ji was like this, and most of his children were extremely indifferent to worldly affairs.

Because their status was originally the most noble existence in the world.

At this moment, I heard that Kaifeng was in danger and bandits could come in at any time.

These noble princes, princes, princesses and princesses may also be killed.

Beating, insulting...

Thinking of what might happen, these noble people are just like ordinary people, with tears in their eyes, fear, fear, and even trembling.

"What can I do, what can I do..."

Seeing the concubines, princes, and princesses like frightened birds in front of him.

Zhao Ji himself is not much better.

His weakness and incompetence are fully revealed.

His trusted generals are the eunuch Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu and others, who happened to be away at this time.

In a panic, he had to summon the two prime ministers Cai Jing and Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, who was in charge of the three divisions of the government, Li Yan, who was in charge of the Xicheng Kuatian Office, and Cai You, a civil servant of the Privy Council, into the palace.

In addition to these trusted ministers, all civil and military officials were summoned to the palace.

The official who received the order looked pale and bowed and asked, "My lord, shall we go to the Purple Palace or the Chuigong Palace?"

The Song Dynasty palace was not large, but it was more than five miles in radius.

The front court was the narrowest, and its scale was far less than that of the Tang Palace.

Even so, the emperor's residence was not comparable to ordinary government offices.

The Purple Palace was where daily court meetings were held, and the Chuigong Palace was where he met his ministers for normal work. The Wende Hall between the two halls was where the emperor rested between court and court. If he summoned foreign ministers for drinks, it was the Jiying Hall and Shengping Tower.

The main hall of the inner court, where the emperor lived, was the Funing Palace.

With this as the center, there are dozens of palaces including the Yeonbok Palace.

"You are so stupid. Why go to Chuigong Hall at this time? Even Zichen Hall is too small. Let's go to Daqing Hall!"

Zhao Ji meant to summon all officials, nobles, and military commanders with the titles of Taiwei and Jiedushi.

In this way, the palaces that were usually used were too small, so only Daqing Hall, which was used for large-scale celebrations, could be opened.

Besides, many government offices were located to the south of Daqing Hall, so officials could get there faster.

Zhao Gou waited for a long time, but his father and brothers had no suggestions., he could not help but say: "Father, the most urgent thing is to select some elite and loyal guards. If there is really something wrong, they can protect you and me and take us out for a while..."

"Hmm?"

Zhao Ji originally wanted to call all the ministers to discuss what to do.

But after careful consideration, Zhao Gou's suggestion is also very reasonable.

If the elite bandits attack the city, it will be difficult to defend the city in a hurry. At that time, we can only run away under the protection of the guards.

Of course, the name should sound good, such as going on a tour, touring, or taking a temporary retreat.

You can't just say that the emperor ran away.

Zhao Ji smiled and praised: "Old Nine is right. Prince, you, Prince Yun and Prince Kang, quickly select loyal and brave guards. In addition, the concubines who gave birth to the princes and princesses will accompany you. The rest do not need to accompany you. If anyone dares to cause trouble, he will be executed!"

"Yes, father."[]

"The princesses should also prepare. If there is anything wrong, you can go out with me!"

"Yes, father."

Many princesses were also slightly relieved.

That's right. The territory of the Song Dynasty is vast, and there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers outside the capital. Why should we be afraid of the surprise attack of the small Liangshan bandits?

After Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others left, Princess Roufu stopped Zhao Gou who was about to leave and whispered: "Brother Jiu, I have always heard that there are still 200,000 imperial guards in the capital camp, and Liangshan can only attack with tens of thousands of people at most. Why do you and father look like you can't defend the capital?"

"Ah..."

Zhao Gou sighed, his eyes flickered a few times, and saw that his father, the crown prince, and Prince Yun had walked away, and then whispered: "There are nearly 200,000 quotas, but the real combat troops are less than 10,000, and even the elite troops are only a few thousand squads..."

"Ah?"

Princess Roufu opened her mouth with an unbelievable look on her face.

Zhao Gou smiled bitterly and left in a hurry.

Princess Roufu was full of shock and disbelief.

Father and brother Jiu knew that the imperial guards were unusable, so why didn't they try to solve the problem? .
