Chapter five hundred and thirty fourth: tragic
The ceremony platform is very unique.
There are nine steps up to a small platform, and then there are nine steps up, for a total of nine sections and eighty-one steps. In order to prevent the platform from being too high, the height of the steps is very small.
The emperor and empress of the Liao Kingdom sat side by side on the dais. When they looked down, they could just see the losers at the bottom.
And when the losers look up, they can naturally see them.
Zhao Suo's face was pale and his body was trembling.
By this time, it wasn't because of any fear or anything like that.
After all, he was once the king of a great country in the world.
If we really want to talk about seniority,
At this moment, Yelujun, who was so high and mighty, had to call him uncle!
The feeling of humiliation surged into his heart like a tide.
He raised his head and looked up.
"Kneel down!" someone yelled.
That was Cui Ang standing on the top steps.
"Kneel down!" Down below, a large number of surrendered former Song ministers also shouted harshly.
On the other hand, the civil servants and generals of the Liao Kingdom standing opposite them looked at Zhao Suo and others below. Although there was joy in their eyes, there was really no contempt in their eyes.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors!" Zhao Suoji pointed at Cui Ang and others, his words incoherent.
Ye Lujun stood up with a smile, looked down at Zhao Suo and the eunuch pretending to be Zhao Jing next to him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you have abdicated. The one next to you should be the protagonist today, why doesn't he
If you open your mouth, will it hurt you? Is it because you can't open your mouth?"
Under the stairs, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"Inside Nanxunmen, we must have made all preparations and are waiting for the news here. If we haven't started yet, what are we waiting for?" Yelujun covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly.
The news had leaked, and at this moment, the rules were understood.
Without any hesitation, he crossed over Yue Suo and Fake Zhao Jing in front of him in one step, and ran as fast as flying, speeding up the steps.
In his hand, he threw a lit fire folder to the ground.
Just now, he used the cover of Xia Jie beside him to swing the fire stick and ignited a long fuse on his body.
That's gunpowder.
It's not the ordinary high-end goods on the market, this is the high-quality goods he got from Guizhou through Liu Fengkui.
He is the head of the Privy Council, and Liu Fengkui can talk to him no matter whether he is in Bianliang or Xiaocheng on Guizhou Road. Chen Gui wants to get some of these things, but Liu Fengkui will definitely not be able to do anything about it, but the weight of a few kilograms, with today's
Liu Fengkui's position on Guizhou Road can still be obtained.
Chen Gui got this thing so that the Craftsman Camp could study it hard and find out why the Craftsman Camp could never come up with something that the Xiao Cheng brothers could do.
When he issued this order to Liu Fengkui, he didn't expect Liu Fengkui to actually get it. After all, such things must be highly confidential in Xiao Cheng's place.
Guys like Liu Fengkui must be one of the objects kept secret.
He never expected that Liu Fengkui would actually get it for him.
Also included was a letter from Xiao Cheng.
The letter told Chen Gui that if he wanted to do research on this thing, just ask him directly. He was worried about how to improve the power of this thing. There was a family of craftsmen in the craftsman camp who had accumulated experience for several lifetimes, and they might be able to find a good way.
This letter made Chen Gui feel ashamed for a while.
What I never expected was that before these things could be sent to the craftsman camp, the Song-Liao War broke out on a large scale.
But what they never expected was that Chen Chu, who was determined to die, actually asked his wife to sew all these things into his clothes.
Then, he rushed forward.
The faint smell of gunpowder smoke was almost unnoticeable.
But Yelujun discovered the abnormality immediately.
His memory of this thing was unforgettable.
He was originally a strong man who could control strong horses and draw a strong bow, but because of that loud noise, he was sick in bed for the rest of his life.
And our time in this world is numbered.
Countless nights, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"Gunpowder, stop him!" Yelujun shouted sharply.
Everyone's expressions changed. Xiao Chuo suddenly stood up, grabbed Yelujun and stepped back.
Although there were many people on the steps, no one could react at the moment.
"Qin Min!" Xiao Chuo shouted.
A tall man jumped out and in just two steps, he was already in front of Chen Gui.
"Get away!" A cold light flashed in Chen Gui's hand, which was a sharp short blade.
It's a pity that even though Chen Gui has both civil and military skills, he is still a civil servant and is already very old. How can he be a match for Yelumin who is still in his prime? Yelumin just stretched out his hand and lifted Chen Gui's body up.
Then he suddenly let out a loud roar, grabbed Chen Gui's body with both hands, and used all his strength to throw him towards the side of the steps. On the other side were six elephants dressed in red, green, gold and gold and their slaves.
The old rules were still in the air and Gandhi roared.
Accompanied by the sound of a violent explosion, Chen Gui was blown to pieces in the air, and blood and body parts were scattered all over the sky.
The six giant elephants below had heard such a thunderous sound ringing in their ears. They immediately ignored the elephant slave's desperate control and spread their hooves and ran wildly outward.
The neat queue was destroyed in an instant by six elephants.
Zhao Suo was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. The eunuch pretending to be Zhao Jing lay on top of him to protect him.
Along with the violent explosions, countless figures emerged from the surrendering team. They only held daggers in their hands, but they still charged towards the high platform in front of them without hesitation.
It's a pity that at this time, on the steps of the ceremony platform, the Shan army sergeants had already filled the place row after row, and more Liao troops surged up from all around.
Inside Fengqiu Gate, the sound of hooves rumbled, and cavalry rushed out. On the city wall, the soldiers who seemed to have put down their weapons before took up their crossbows again.
On the high platform, Xiao Chuo waved his hand, the war drums beat like thunder, and the Liao army, which had been well prepared, began to attack.
Everything was arranged well, but the only thing I didn't expect was that the assassination operation was actually carried out by someone of Chen Gui's level, and the most lethal weapons of this era were used.
Xia Jie looked back and saw the Liao army attacking Fengqiu Gate in an orderly manner. He saw that the hundreds of cavalry who had just rushed out from Fengqiu Gate were surrounded by the Liao people in an instant. Of course, he also saw the city wall.
The crossbow arrows shot from above,
But he knew that this was just the last reflection of a dying man!
He let out a long sigh, looked at Zhao Suo who was lying on the ground, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said: "In the official family, I am ashamed of the country, and I have no shame in seeing the country tearing apart our ancestors!"
The people around watched helplessly as Xia Jie took out the dagger from his arms, calmly scratched his face, cut off his nose, picked out his eyes, and finally turned his wrist violently and put the dagger away.
Stabbed into his heart.
Zhao Suo screamed, and many people around him also screamed. Even the surrounding Liao army stopped involuntarily and looked at Xia Jie who was slowly falling to the ground with a look of horror on his face.
.
Lan Sixin was trembling, holding the knife in his hand, but he couldn't bring himself to stab himself.
"Help me!" He cried and looked at Li Guang beside him.
Li Guang grabbed his hand, put it across his neck, and strangled him hard. Lan Sixin's crying stopped suddenly, his mouth opened wide, he kept breathing, and then he fell to the ground. Every time
His body twitched, and large pools of blood poured out of his mouth and neck.
Li Guang sat down cross-legged, straightened his appearance, held the knife in both hands, and stabbed it hard into his stomach.
Although the man died, he did not fall down. He was still sitting upright, and his eyes were still wide open looking at the high platform.
On the high platform, Ye Lujun was supported by Xiao Chuo. Looking at the scene in front of him, he seemed to be unable to believe his eyes.
Because at this moment, more and more Zhao and Song officials who had originally surrendered out of the city and were surrounded by the Liao army began to commit suicide.
Is this the country he despises?
Are these Zhao and Song officials who care about their own interests and disregard justice, do nothing but engage in internal strife, seek benefits when they see it, and hide when they see problems?
Why are they so willing to sacrifice themselves and have no hesitation at this moment?
He looked at Cui Ang, Liu Yu, Liu Quanyi and others on the steps, and then looked at the Zhao and Song civil servants and generals who kept falling down, and he had an unreal feeling.
"Your Majesty, this is why I suggest to you not to directly occupy the land of the Song Dynasty, but to enfeoff the kings and let the kings rule this land on our behalf!" Xiao Chuo said. "These scholars have always been
They are all a batch of very strange things.”
"Yeah, it's really beyond my imagination!" Yelujun took a deep breath: "Is this probably what you call the accumulation of civilization? Do we in Daliao also have these things?"
Xiao Chuo said nothing.
Yelujun sighed: "I know, there is no such thing. We, the Khitan clan, believe that the strong is king and the strong are respected. We will obey whoever is strong. This is completely different from these people. A
This seemingly weak ethnic group makes me look at them with admiration at this moment. No wonder they have been able to confront us, Daliao, for hundreds of years. I feel a little uneasy when I think that they still own half of the country."
"So, we want them to attack each other and kill each other!" Xiao Chuo said: "No one knows each other better than them. Those people in the south, facing our Daliao soldiers, might share the same hatred and join hands to fight against each other.
If we and their opponents are replaced by people like Cui Ang and Liu Yu, the situation will be very different."
Ye Lujun looked at Xiao Chuo with a complicated expression, and after a long time he said slowly: "It is my good fortune to have you as my wife, and it is also the good fortune of Liao Dynasty!"
Xiao Chuo smiled slightly and was about to speak when a huge cheer came from the battlefield.
The two of them looked up and saw that on the high gate tower of Fengqiu Gate, a Liao warrior was holding the flag of the Liao Kingdom high with both hands and waving it vigorously, while countless Liao troops had already climbed up from the ladders and walked from the city.
At the gate, they quickly poured into the city.
When the sound of an explosion was heard from the Fengqiu Gate in the north, the Nanxun Gate was also opened wide. Thousands of cavalry rushed out embracing Zhao Jing and Zhao Jing's eldest son, Zhao Lu, and fled towards the distance like sparks of fire.
There didn't seem to be any obstacles in front of them. It seemed that everything was as planned. All the Liao army was attracted to Fengqiu Gate, and the three or two teams of small soldiers left here could not stop them.
their pace.
However, the good wishes were shattered with the long sound of the trumpet.
From front to back and left to right, groups of Liao Pishi troops appeared in front of them, and then surrounded them.
The Liao cavalry who traveled freely demonstrated their riding skills in front of these Song troops.
"Kill!" Xu Wei, the commander of the Divine Guards who was responsible for escorting the emperor's escape, waved his sword wildly and rushed forward.
Opposite him, a tall and handsome man from the Liao army jumped out of the crowd.
"Death!" In the roar of filial piety, the sword was swung out, the two swords intersected, and the weapon in Xu Wei's hand immediately flew away.
The person facing him is Brother Wanyan.
Xiao Chuo arranged for Wanyan Bage, the commander of the Pishi Army, to come to Nanxunmen to ambush him, although Yelumin also wanted to do this.
Xu Wei was knocked off his horse with a blow from his sword. Before he could react, he was hit with another blow to his head. His vision went dark and he passed out.
"Surrender without killing!" Brother Wanyan shouted sharply.
After a brief stalemate, weapons fell to the ground, and a cavalryman dismounted and knelt on the ground. This was like setting off dominoes. Soon, there were only two lonely mounts left, and the one sitting on them was Zhao Song, the official of the Zhao Dynasty.
Jing and his son Zhao Lu.
Wanyan Bage grinned, stepped forward to destroy the horse, raised the tip of the knife, and already held the reins of the two horses in his hands.
"Brother Wanyan leads the horse for Your Majesty!"
Zhao Jing was heartbroken.
Less than a year after he ascended the throne, in the first year of Jingkang, Zhao Song was defeated by the Liao Kingdom.
Known in history as the Shame of Jingkang.
Zhao Suo, Zhao Jing, and countless members of the royal family, clan descendants, and concubines were all captured by the Liao army. uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Thousands of nobles and courtiers became prisoners.
Two hundred thousand Liao troops entered Tokyo on horseback.
In the past, this prosperous city, the most prosperous one in the world, immediately fell into the Nine Nether Hells. Endless disasters and miseries rushed towards these ordinary people who had never seen the scourge of war for several generations.
In just three days, the city of Tokyo was literally filled with blood.
"Empress, Luo Song is willing to serve you. Please give the order to stop the killing!" In the former Long Live Palace, Luo Song knelt down in the courtyard and shouted loudly.
In the past two days, Xiao Chuo sent people to escort him and witnessed one tragedy after another in the entire city of Tokyo.
Inside the room, Xiao Chuo was carefully feeding Yelujun the medicine spoonful by spoonful.
"Forcing this person like this, even if he surrenders to us, I'm afraid he won't sincerely serve us!" Yelujun looked at Xiao Chuo, "Are you doing it because he is Luo Gang's father?"
Xiao Chuo smiled sweetly: "It's really rare that after so many years, you can still be so jealous!"
"This is not jealousy. Even if that kid Luo Gang has some abilities, how can he compare with me?" Yelujun said proudly.
Xiao Chuo nodded and said: "Xia Jie is dead, Chen Gui is dead, Lian Sixin, and Li Guang are also dead. There is only one Luo Song left among the important ministers in Zhao and Song. Your Majesty, our Daliao
Unifying the world cannot be just a unity in name and form, but a true unity in content. Therefore, we need a lot of talents to govern the country, and in this regard, the Song people are indeed better than us. I want
Luo Song just wants him to organize these people. With this sign, many people will come. This is a plan for the future. A gentleman can be bullied. This person's weaknesses are obvious and easy to control.
