Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhao Gou was dragged to the tower by a group of soldiers, and Zhao Chen, Wu Jie, Miao Fu and others also came to the tower at this moment.

Below, countless soldiers are watching the scene above.

The army brought by Zhao Chen had strict military discipline, no one spoke, but quietly looked up, with excitement in their eyes, while the soldiers of the Jiangnan Imperial Battalion were whispering at the moment.

"Invite all the respected gentry from Lin'an City!" Zhao Chen said.

Immediately, Miao Fu went to carry out Zhao Chen's order. He ordered people to go to the homes of those respected people in Lin'an and call them to the palace.

These days, there was a military turmoil in Lin'an City, most of the people hid in their homes and did not dare to come out, fortunately those rebels did not harass them either! This morning, they also heard the sound of army mobilization and the earth-shattering sound of long live, but they still didn't dare to go out to check. At this moment, the soldiers broke into their homes and knocked on the door frantically. They had no choice but to open the door. Of course, some people did not dare to open the door and still hid at home. Heading towards the palace.

Gradually, the number of people downstairs in the palace city is increasing!

Most of them are officials and gentlemen, and they all have some reputation in the local area.

Most of them are older, and some are even in their sixties or seventies.

Looking at the countless soldiers and horses beside them, especially those black-armored soldiers, their bodies were trembling, they didn't know what was going on!

Soon, the sharp-eyed people saw the scene on the tower, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

Gradually, more and more people looked at everything on the city tower with suspicious eyes.

There are two people wearing dragon robes on the city tower. One looks like a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old standing there, and the other is a middle-aged man in his thirties kneeling there! They could recognize the middle-aged man in his thirties as Emperor Jianyan from Jiangnan, but who was that young man? Why did Emperor Jianyan kneel here, and what happened?

Thinking of the mutiny these days, many people feel uneasy!

They didn't dare to discuss, they just stood here nervously.

Two hours later, the number of people here has reached tens of thousands.

It is now afternoon.

"It's almost time for people to arrive! You must be wondering about my identity. I am the eldest son of Emperor Jingkang. In the first year of Jingkang, I was appointed as the crown prince of the Song Dynasty! In the second year of Jingkang, I succeeded to the throne in Hanzhong and became Emperor Xuanwu! At that time, King Kang The usurper, who ascended the throne in Shangqiu, is a rebel who usurped the throne! I came to Lin’an today to lead troops to eliminate the rebel King Kang!” Zhao Chen looked at the people below and said loudly.

Suddenly, the people below let out a burst of exclamation.

"What? He is Emperor Xuanwu? Isn't he in Guanshan? How did he come here?"

"Oh my god! It's really changed! It turns out that Emperor Xuanwu initiated the mutiny this time, and Emperor Jianyan has been captured alive, and he must die!"

"The soldiers and horses next to him were brought by Emperor Xuanwu?"

"Emperor Xuanwu is the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor. He is the crown prince, so he should inherit the throne! Moreover, he has the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his hand, which is a symbol of orthodoxy! He came this time to set things right! It's really great!"

Those common people whispered, some of these common people supported Zhao Chen in the first place! In fact, in Jiangnan, because of Zhao Gou's extremely stupid actions, many people in Jiangnan yearn for Zhao Chen, and the same is true for Lin'an City!

"I came to Lin'an today to eliminate the traitors! But I can't kill him silently, I have to announce his crimes to the world! Wu Jie, tell me!" After a while, Zhao Chen Again.

At that moment, Wu Jie stood up and began to read Zhao Gou's crimes.

The first crime is that there is no king and no father. Zhao Gou was the general of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding the world's King Qin's army. Kaifeng was besieged, but Zhao Gou hid in Xiangzhou City, unwilling to rescue Kaifeng. Over the years, Zhao Gou's father Zhao Ji and elder brother Zhao Huan had suffered in the north and were oppressed by the Jurchens, but Zhao Gou ignored them and never thought of rescuing them.

The second crime is negotiating peace with Jurchen, regardless of the safety of the people in the Central Plains.

The third crime is to live luxuriously and build palaces.

The fourth crime was to frame Zhao Chen. He tried to murder Zhao Chen outside Xiangzhou City that day, and then sent Jiangnan martial arts people to try to assassinate Zhao Chen.

The fifth crime was negotiating peace with Liu Yu. Liu Yu was a traitor who took refuge in the Jurchen, and everyone should be punished. However, Zhao Gou joined forces with Liu Yu to attack Guanshan.

The sixth item is to implement exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes in the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, the officials forced the people to rebel, which caused the peasants in Dongting Lake to revolt.

After these six major crimes, there are other crimes, and the total number of crimes has reached ninety-nine.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Gou has committed ninety-nine major crimes, many of which are treasonous crimes, and should be executed promptly according to the law!" Wu Jie said after reading out all the crimes.

"There's no need for Ling Chi! After all, he is my uncle, and he was once the vassal king of our Great Song Dynasty. Give him a face!" Zhao Chen said.

Wu Jie nodded, and at that moment a soldier came over with a plate, and inside the plate was a wine jug and a wine glass.

The flagon was filled with poisoned wine, and Wu Jie poured a glass of poisoned wine, brought it to Zhao Gou's side, and said, "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is merciful, he did not execute you Ling Chi, but gave you poisoned wine! If there is an afterlife, Be a good man."

When Zhao Yan died just now, Zhao Gou had lost all hope, and he had no ambition to live. But at this moment, the poisoned wine was placed in front of him, and he was still terrified.

He seemed to feel that the surroundings had become dark, and there was pressure everywhere, and he was almost suffocated.

Wu Jie's drink was getting closer and closer to him, Zhao Gou's body suddenly limp on the ground, and then his urine and feces flowed out.

His body was lying on the ground trembling constantly. He closed his eyes and mouth, absolutely unwilling to drink the poisoned wine.

Zhao Chen looked into the distance, looked at the people and the army below, and didn't look at Zhao Gou at all, he didn't want to see the tragic situation before his death. It is not what he wants to let others lose their dignity, but it must be done for the sake of national unity. Zhao Gou must die, so that the world can return to its heart.

Wu Jie had already grabbed Zhao Gou's clothes and lifted him up. Then the rest of the soldiers supported Zhao Gou. Wu Jie squeezed Zhao Gou's mouth open with his hand and poured the poisoned wine into it.

After that, everyone released Wu Jie.

"Why do you want to do this? Why do you want to do this? You killed my children, and you also killed me... I am not reconciled, I am the destiny, Lin Daochang said, I am the destiny! I should not die , I am the real Dragon Emperor!" After drinking the poisonous wine, Zhao Gou knew that he would die, but now he had a lot more courage, and he kept wailing there.

Only gradually, a trace of blackness appeared on his face, and finally his entire face turned black. He felt more and more difficult to breathe, and his internal organs were cramping. He struggled to stand up, but in the end he couldn't Standing up, after a quarter of an hour, he lost all breath and heartbeat. This historical Song Gaozong finally died in the palace he built.

Seeing Zhao Gou die with their own eyes, the people below were also terrified and dared not say more. Many people have knelt down on the ground, on the one hand to see Zhao Gou off, and on the other hand to express their willingness to submit to the new emperor. Soon, they will return home, and before long, the entire Lin'an City will know the news that Emperor Xuanwu has unified the Song Dynasty! They also have loved ones everywhere, and they pass the news on to their loved ones.

Of course, Zhao Chen will also make people spread the news to all places in the south of the Yangtze River, so that everyone in the south of the Yangtze River will know that Zhao Gou is dead.

Jiangnan officials, as long as they are willing to surrender, will not blame the past! Zhao Chen came to Jiangnan, on the one hand, to kill Zhao Gou, on the other hand, to quickly stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, and prevent chaos in Jiangnan!

"Send someone to write to Master Li Gang, tell him that Zhao Gou is dead, and let him spread the news to all parts of Sichuan and Sichuan!"

"Write to Wang Shu and Yu Yunwen to tell the news! Also, order the people in the Jiangnan court to write to Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun to let them know the news!"

"Let this news spread throughout the world at the fastest speed! Zhao Gou is dead, and there will be only one emperor in the Song Dynasty, and no more divisions are allowed!"

Zhao Chen said slowly, while Wu Jie and others next to him kept nodding.

Zhao Chen turned around and saw a person lying on Zhao Gou's body, crying softly, it was Zhao Ding.

As for Qin Hui, he was hiding aside at the moment, turning a blind eye to Zhao Gou's body.

"Your Majesty, what about the two of them?" Wu Jie asked.

"Take them into custody, and I will deal with their affairs tomorrow," Zhao Chen said.

Wu Jie nodded.

*** ***

Wu Jie's navy has already begun to clean up the palace.

These days, these people from the Jiangnan imperial camp broke into the palace, and a disaster happened in the palace. Many gold and silver treasures have disappeared and were snatched by the soldiers of the Jiangnan Imperial Camp. Of course, Zhao Chen will not snatch them back from them. Those soldiers of the Jiangnan Imperial Camp are considered meritorious persons, and these should be regarded as rewards for them , Of course, I will never indulge them like this in the future. Before Zhao Chen arrives, all crimes can be forgotten.

There are thousands of concubines, eunuchs, and maids in the palace. These concubines, eunuchs, and maids are still staying in the palace at this moment, but they are gathered together. Everyone is terrified, but they dare not say anything more.

Zhao Chen felt very tired, so he found a room and slept.

When he woke up, it was already late at night.

He put on his clothes and went out, the night was as cold as water, the moon was shining brightly, and the palace was very quiet at the moment.

For some reason, Zhao Yan's face always appeared in front of him, making it hard for him to feel relieved.

He also knew that executing Zhao Yan was the best choice, which was more conducive to the stability of the regime, but it was really difficult for him to do so!

Over the years, because of the world war, I don't know how many people died!

During the Battle of Xixia, because of his choice, the Yellow River was decided, and millions of ordinary people may have died! The Jurchens invaded, and the death toll of the people in the Central Plains far exceeded one million.

He sighed softly.

At this moment, he found a person kneeling in the corner in front of him, it was Wang De.

"Your Majesty!" Wang De finally spoke when Zhao Chen looked at him.

"What are you kneeling here for? Get up!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the general knows what he did today, and you are very disgusted! Therefore, I beg your Majesty to punish me!" Wang De said.

"Ling'an has been defeated, and I should be happy, but I really can't be happy when such a six-year-old child dies in front of me! I want to go outside to relax, so you go with me." Zhao Chen said.

"Where is Your Majesty going?" Wang De said.

"Go around the West Lake! You arrange it!" Zhao Chen said.

Only then did Wang De stand up and go to arrange this matter.

Soon, Zhao Chen put on civilian clothes, and many soldiers also put on civilian clothes. They left the palace, walked out of Lin'an City, and came to the side of the West Lake.

Wang De has ordered more than ten ships of various sizes to be prepared here, and has also arranged thousands of soldiers to guard the side of the West Lake.

Zhao Chen and Wang De boarded a large ship, and many guards also boarded the ship.

The boat began to move forward slowly, and with the breeze blowing, Zhao Chen's mood finally gradually improved.

"As an emperor, I am in a troubled world, so I should kill decisively! Over the years, I don't know how many people I have seen, how much blood I have seen, and I don't know what happened today. Seeing the death of the six-year-old child, I still feel sad. A little uncomfortable." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, it's not good to be a general!" Wang De said.

"I know you are thinking of me too! Let this matter go by, and I will not punish you." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is merciful, thank you Your Majesty!" Wang De's tense heart finally relaxed. He was not afraid of punishment, but he was unwilling to create a estrangement with Zhao Chen. Seeing that Zhao Chen is in a better mood now, his mood also improves.

"In the future, such a thing will never happen again!" Zhao Chen said again.

Wang De nodded.

The big ship moved forward, protected by some ships around it.

At first there were only a dozen boats, but after Wu Jie heard the news, he arranged for some people to enter the West Lake, and they were also protecting Zhao Chen's safety.

"Your Majesty, there is Leiyin Temple!" Wang De said in the night, seeing a faint light in the west, which seemed to be a temple.

"Oh! It's the Leiyin Temple where Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian, and Xiaoqing were suppressed!" Zhao Chen immediately became interested.

At the moment the big boat was heading towards Leiyin Temple.

The big ship was getting closer and closer to the shore. First, a few small boats came to the shore, and dozens of soldiers had already arrived to check the situation on the shore and prevent danger.

At this moment, Zhao Chen suddenly felt that the water ripples on the lake surface were fluctuating violently, and he was shocked in his heart.

"Not good!" Zhao Chen whispered.

Wang De's martial arts skills were not as good as Zhao Chen's, and when Zhao Chen found out something was wrong, he had just noticed it.

In an instant, countless figures jumped out of the water and came towards Zhao Chen.
