    Zhao Xu died!  Let¡¯s use the term ¡°dying¡±, which is exclusive to emperors. After all, at this moment, he is still the nominal emperor of the Song Dynasty.  When he was about to die, no one knew who he wanted to be except the empress dowager.  ¡°I only know that when Zhao Xu died, his eyes were wide open, as if he would not close his eyes until death.  It was impossible to hide such a major matter, and the news spread throughout Bianjing that day.  Zhao Xu's death was expected. Since he finally appeared in the court in a coma and body, everyone knew that he was going to die soon.  Although it was expected, when it actually happened, it still had a big impact on people's hearts.  No matter what, he was once an emperor and ruled the Song Dynasty for seven years.  The officials and subjects may not like him, or even resent him, but they maintain the minimum respect for him.  Now that he is dead, the first people to be shocked are the officials.  After all, some people were promoted by Zhao Xu, and they are grateful for his favors over the years.  As long as Zhao Xu is here, even if the situation is extremely bad, they will still persevere.  If you can, help him when necessary and show your last loyalty.  It¡¯s a pity that he died, which was a big blow to a large number of people who were watching.  Without Zhao Xu, the Bianjing court no longer has anyone or anything worthy of nostalgia and concern. Is there still a need and meaning for loyalty?  Empress Dowager, isn¡¯t Gao Taotao about to be promoted to Empress Dowager?  Everyone shook their heads in unison. Recently, she has been so disappointing.  After a series of things.  The subjects of the Song Dynasty no longer had a good impression of her.  Intention to murder Emperor Renzong and his two princes.  This woman has a vicious heart.  What qualifications does she have to be the mother of the world?  If Zhao Xu¡¯s death caused the subjects to lose their last attachment and sympathy to the court, then King Qin¡¯s military front pointed the way for the subjects in reality.  Attacking Luoyang overnight, the army has already reached the city, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.  In fact, except for Bianjing, officials in other places in the Song Dynasty already followed the leadership of the King of Qin.  For example, the King of Qin called on the generals on the Hebei Road to stick to their duties and resolutely resist the Khitan attack.  A group of generals headed by Xuanfu envoy Wu Chong expressed their stance one after another.  Expressed his willingness to obey the call of His Highness King Qin.  There is only one word difference between call and command, but in fact this is a signal, a signal chosen by people all over the world.  "The emperor and the queen mother in Bianjing seemed a little sad. His decrees could not leave the city at all, and now even the officials in the city began to turn a deaf ear.  Officials are nothing more than officials. Now that the Song Dynasty is almost paralyzed, the officials in the capital have nothing to do. Except for some key figures, their influence is very average.  But the army is different. There are 300,000 troops guarding Bianjing City.  If anything goes wrong among them, it could be life or death.  Gao Taotao assigned the city defense to Guo Kui.  This is the general they trust most at present.  As for the defense of the imperial city, Di Yongzai, the husband of Princess Qinghe, was in charge.  ¡°It¡¯s just that there are 300,000 people after all. They can guarantee the loyalty of the upper-level generals, but what about the middle-level generals and lower-level soldiers?  The successive declining situations and Zhao Xu's death have shocked and shaken them.  In fact, the solid city walls and seemingly tight defenses were actually crumbling in front of the Western Army, and it was not surprising at all when they collapsed.  The situation is like this, very delicate!  Of course, at any time, there are always foolish and loyal people.  Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Xu¡¯s father and son have been running the business for decades. If there weren¡¯t a few loyal subordinates, it would really be a joke.  It is precisely because of their existence that Bianjing City was able to hold on for the time being without major troubles.  It¡¯s just that Zhao Xu¡¯s death was a big blow to them! ?¡­ ?¡­ Zhao Zongchu, the twentieth son of Pu Wang Zhao Yunrang, was granted the title of Prince of Nanyang County.  Not to mention, Zhao Yun had many sons, twenty-two in total.  But now, Zhao Yunrang¡¯s sons are no longer of the same mind, and it is impossible for them to cut off the money.  Part of them, with Zhao Zongchu as the core, still insists on surrounding Gao Taotao and Zhao Hao. They are firm supporters.  They had helped Zhao Zongshi do many things in the past, but Zhao Zhao would not forgive them after he came to the throne, so they chose to resolutely help the thirteenth sister-in-law and completely break with Qin King Zhao Zhao.  ????????????????????????????????????????????mbps out out out to be a real emperor]  But the result was somewhat unexpected, catching Zhao Zongchu off guard.    Zhao Xu's life or death doesn't matter. What he cares about is the safety of Bianjing City. Once the city is destroyed, will he end well?  It is absolutely impossible for Zhao Zhao to forgive himself.  I heard that Zhao Zhao had sent an ultimatum, but it was rejected by Sister-in-law Thirteen, so the result would be a dead end.  The network was not far away, and Zhao Zongchu clearly realized that the city would be broken in the past few days.  Although he didn't want this to be the case, it was the fact that he couldn't deceive himself about matters related to his wealth and life.  Just because the net is broken, does the fish have to die?  Zhao Zongchu didn't want to just become cannon fodder.  Maybe you can take advantage of the chaos of the "net break" to escape.  For this plan, as long as there is a chance, we can¡¯t let it go!     well!  Zhao Zongchu regretted a little, maybe he should have followed his third brother Zhao Zongsheng.  Zhao Zongsheng took refuge in Zhao Zhao and broke out the shocking news, which they had never expected.  To a certain extent, it was Zhao Zongsheng's defection that led to the sharp deterioration of the situation.  At that time, Zhao Zongsheng also wrote a letter asking him to surrender to the King of Qin and admit his mistakes, so that he could at least save his life.  But Zhao Zongchu didn¡¯t after all. He didn¡¯t have the courage and didn¡¯t believe in Zhao Zhao¡¯s integrity.  After all, he was involved in the pursuit of Concubine Lin.  He underestimated Zhao Zhao's ambition and personally chose a path of no return. Now it is useless to regret, he can only find another way!  After nightfall, two carriages and horses were parked outside the Nanyang County Prince's Mansion, and the main family members of the Prince's Mansion were filing out and boarding the carriage.  There are millions of people in Bianjing. It is very possible to mix among the civilians, save their lives, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape.  For the present, it seems that this is the only way to survive.  After Zhao Zongchu, his wife, and children got on the carriage, the carriage immediately started, passed the Zhouqiao Bridge, and drove towards the civilian area of ????Bianjing City Gate.  The carriage wheels made a heavy squeaking sound as they turned.  Needless to say, the royal family members must have carried a lot of gold and silver.  The carriage slowed down and seemed to stop completely when it reached the middle of the Zhouqiao Bridge.  A bad premonition appeared in Zhao Zongchu's heart, and he cautiously stretched out his head to observe.  First he saw the Bianhe River still rippling, and then he saw a flash of light, and there was a bloody gash in his throat, and blood spurted out, and then he fell from the carriage, and his eyes were still filled with incredible horror  Zhao Zongchu, the king of Nanyang County, died, and the eleven members of his family, including his youngest son, were beheaded on the Zhouqiao Shi Xun was the descendant of Shi Shouxin, the founding hero of the Song Dynasty. Although he was not the eldest grandson, he was  In the past few years, he was definitely the most noble and proud one among the descendants of the Shi family.  Just because he took Princess Anding Puning as his wife, his status was completely different.  It¡¯s not for anything else, because Princess Puning of An Ding is the legitimate daughter of King Pu Zhao Yunrang and the biological sister of Emperor Yingzong.  Although she is only the princess, her status and honors even surpass those of the princess.  With such a wife, Shi Xun¡¯s status will naturally rise.  His pomp has even surpassed the two consorts of Emperor Renzong's biological princess.  Among the sons-in-law of the Zhao family, only Di Yong, the husband of Princess Qinghe, can compare with him.  " Shi Xun's ability to obtain such a lovely wife is naturally extraordinary. He was born in a family of military generals, and he still has some military talent.  As early as more than ten years ago, he served in the city defense army of Bianjing.  Probably because he felt that he was useful and that he was a descendant of Shi Shouxin and had a good family background, Zhao Zongshi married his sister to him. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from Shi Xun.  Until recently, King Zhao Zhao of Qin¡¯s army approached Bianjing, and generals like him who were absolutely trusted and reliable were promoted!  Today, Shi Xun seems to have become the number two figure in Bianjing's city defense, second only to Guo Kui, who has rich combat experience.  If you put it in normal times, it must be very proud.  But recently, there is really nothing to be happy about. King Qin's army is just outside the city. No one knows better than him how dangerous Bianjing City is.  To be honest, Shi Xun was still a little shaken as to whether he should surrender to King Qin or not.  But when he thought about his origin and his wife's identity, he felt a little entangled.  Even on the way home on horseback, I was so distracted that I didn¡¯t notice the hidden arrows flying in the dark night!    Yu Shizhong Li Ding, Wang Anshi students.  Since the Wutai Poetry Case, if he and others completely offended the King of Qin, there would be no way back, so he gained the trust of the Queen Mother Gao Taotao.  ????Recently he served as Kaifeng Fuyin, a local official in charge of the capital of the Song Dynasty.  This once famous high-ranking official is now mainly responsible for the affairs in Bianjing City.Peace and order.  Since King Qin arrived outside Bianjing City, all kinds of rumors have been flying all over the sky. People in Bianjing City are panicked and all kinds of things are about to happen.  Li Ding was naturally very busy and had no time at all.  The strong pressure made it difficult for him to breathe, and he was also thinking that this might be a dead end.  But during the Wutai Shi case, the King of Qin was completely offended. There was no regret medicine in the world, so he had to bite the bullet and endure it.  Tonight, Li Ding took people out to inspect Bianjing City as usual and did not come back the whole night.  Early the next morning, his body appeared inexplicably in front of the gate of the Kaifeng government office, and was nailed to the doorpost with a spear This night, the night of bloodshed in Bianjing, there were a total of thirty-seven officials.  and the general were killed!  Including their family members, there were a total of 427 dead people, and the murderer did not leave any traces.  For a time, people in Bianjing were panicked to the extreme (To be continued)
