Wang, Tong Guan and Zhe Yanzhi said goodbye and left...

Dong Xiaochou sent them outside the pass and repeatedly assured Prince Yun that the Huliu Army would help Prince Yun ascend the throne at any cost.

Yuwen Xuzhong and Zhang Xiaochun followed behind. Wang originally wanted to find an opportunity to remind them, but he never found the right opportunity. However, with these two loyalty to the Song Dynasty, they would definitely watch Li Hu with all their strength. As long as Li Hu was not allowed to enter Bianjing, the next step would be to rule the world.

Just when Dong Xiaochou respectfully sent Prince Yun, Li Hu was in another big tent and urgently drafted an order, summoning Hou Ge, Zhang Guanyu, Zhang Gaoer, Gao Yuan and others to lead the army to Chang'an and seize Guanzhong.

In the first year of Jingkang in the Song Dynasty (1126 AD), June.

=

On the third day of June, Liu Guangshi led Lin Yan's army, Tong Shimin and Zhang Shizheng led Shengjie army to Luoyang.

Henan Prefecture did not receive news of the Northwest Army advancing eastward, but it is an extraordinary period, and Bianjing is relatively chaotic, and the court frequently mobilized its troops. It is understandable that it did not inform Henan Prefecture, so the Henan Prefecture did not realize that a storm was approaching.

After Liu Guangshi and Tong Shimin entered Henan Prefecture, they immediately sent troops to surround the office and detained all officials of all sizes, large and small.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Lin Chong led the Eighth Army of Hulie to Luoyang and took over Xijing.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, Li Hu led his headquarters to Luoyang.

=

On the fourth day of the lunar month, Bianjing received a local battle report from Zhong Shidao. The entire army of Zhong Shizhong was wiped out. Zhong Shizhong died in Junziguan. Zhan Du and Chen lost to flee to Yongjing's army.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, Bianjing received a report from the Yaogudi war. The army was defeated and retreated to Jizhou.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Bianjing received a report from Liu Di. The attack on Zhongshan failed. The army was hit hard by the Jin army again and retreated to Zhending Mansion. The main force of the Cash Army had surrounded Zhending City. The situation was extremely critical. Please provide quick support to Bianjing.

=

There was panic in Bianjing.

The young emperor and the central ministers were furious and issued an order to kill Jiao Anjie, the commander of Xihe, and dismiss the position of Yaogu as the commander of Hebei, demoted him to the deputy commander of Jiedu, and settled Guangzhou. The position of Zhong Shidao as the post of Xuanfu Envoy of Hebei, and ordered him to retire. Zhan Du and Chen were also dismissed.

The Hebei War was defeated, and it was not only the troops on the Hebei battlefield, but also the Little Emperor and the Central Government. The Little Emperor and the Central Government had already lost face. Later, they tore up the Song-Jin Covenant and hoped to turn the situation around in one fell swoop in the Hebei War. Unexpectedly, the weak was even worse, and the prestige was gone even if they were defeated.

The peace faction accused the ministers of the war faction for the wrong strategy and pointed the finger at Li Gang. The young emperor was also full of resentment towards Li Gang, and immediately issued an order to serve as Hebei Xuanfu Envoy and reorganize the army. Although it was impossible to counterattack, the Yellow River defense line must be protected in any case. Li Gang suggested that the young emperor borrow troops from the Northwest Marshal's Office and ask Li Hu to dispatch the Hu Lie Army to enter Hebei to fight. This proposal was firmly opposed by Xu Churen, Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong and others. Li Gang had no choice but to leave Beijing and rushed to Hebei to build the Yellow River defense line.

The peace minister Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke suggested that the young emperor immediately negotiate peace with the Jin Kingdom, and then cede three towns to exchange land for peace.

The little emperor had no choice but to agree, but this proposal was opposed by some ministers from the east and west governments at the court meeting, and the debate was very fierce. The ministers who opposed the peace talks believed that the situation in northern Xinjiang today was not in despair. There were Li Hu in Daibei, and the Song Dynasty had the Northwest Army. The court should transfer these two troops to the Hebei battlefield, so that Hebei and Youyan would be able to recover.

Since the Northern Expedition, one battle was defeated, not to mention that the little emperor had no confidence, the ministers were the same. The little emperor actually had one worry, that was the king of Taiyuan, so even if the little emperor lost Hebei, he would not issue an order to dispatch the Tiger and Lieutenant Army to enter Hebei to fight.

However, the more you fear something, the more you come.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Zhengzhou urgently reported that the Northwest Army advanced eastward to serve the king, two hundred miles away from Bianjing.

=

The little emperor was immediately scared and sweated.

The Northwest Army has been divided. Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu and Zhong Shi's Northwest Army are now on the battlefield in Hebei. Zhe Yanzhi, Yang Keshi's Northwest Army and Prince Yun Zhao Kai, and King Han Li Hu of King Li Hu were on the same boat. This Northwest Army rushed to Bianjing thousands of miles away. It was obviously not to serve the king, but to help Prince Yun seize the imperial rule.

Bianjing did not issue an order to dispatch the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army advanced east without authorization, which was itself a rebellion. Therefore, the little emperor and the central ministers knew that Prince Zhao of Yun came, the Northwest Army and the Tiger Lieutenant Army also came, and they chose a very good opportunity to make the little emperor and Bianjing have no power to fight back.

Bianjing fell into fear and someone began to run away.

After the little emperor ascended the throne, he launched a massacre, killing almost all the old emperor's confidants. Those who were not dead were dismissed and expelled. In addition, the confidants of Zhao Kai, the prince of Yun, were also bloodbathed. It can be imagined that after Zhao Kai came back, he would definitely take revenge. Zhao Kai's goal was to the throne, and he wanted to invite the old emperor out and deposed the young emperor. The old emperor and the king joined forces, and the young emperor could only sit and wait for death. The people who followed the little emperor would be killed. If they wanted to survive, they had to escape.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the escape of Bianjing officials had already formed a wave, no

To stop.

The little emperor discussed with the central officials overnight, but did not discuss a countermeasure.

Geng Nanzhong tried his best to persuade the young emperor to flee to the southeast immediately, while Xu Churen and Wu Min asked the young emperor to summon Li Gang and asked Li Gang to lead the Hebei army to guard the capital. At the same time, he issued an order to dispatch the army to the southeast, Jinghu and other places to dispatch the army to the royal army.

The last Jin army invasion is a good example. As long as Li Gang is invited back, as long as the king-supporting army from all over the country arrives, Prince Yun Zhao Kai will not be able to enter the capital. Once Bian Jing is in a deadlock, the Jin army is very likely to go south. If the king insists on his own and insists on his brothers killing each other, he will eventually fall into the attack of the Jin army and Bian Jing and be attacked from both sides. Xu Churen and Wu Min are very sure that the king has no choice but to fight against the Jin army with Li Hu. The two armies are fighting to the death, and in the end they will be cheaper to the little emperor.

This idea sounds quite reasonable, but if you think carefully, it is nonsense. It is time for a group of civil officials who talk about military affairs on paper and are still talking self-righteously. However, the little emperor actually believed it and adopted the strategy of Xu Churen and Wu Min. While ordering the local army to transfer troops to serve the king, he urgently summoned Li Gang back to the capital.

On the 11th, the Northwest Army arrived at the city of Bianjing.

On the 12th, Wang Zhaokai, Tong Guan and Zhe Yanzhi led the main army to outside Bianjing City.

On the same day, Zhe Keqiu led four generals from Hedong, the eighth general of Huli, Liangshan army, and the Yisheng army rushed to the Huazhou area and dispatched troops at the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River.

On the night of the 12th, Cao, the commander of the guards’ personal army, opened the Chenqiao Gate, and the Northwest Army rushed into Bianjing City.

The king put the young emperor under house arrest, arrested the central minister, and then went to Longde Palace to invite the old emperor out.

Tong Guan started a massacre in Bianjing, Xu Churen and Wu Min were dismissed, Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke and other ministers were killed for stolen the country, and Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye and other ministers were also exiled for stolen the country. More than 200 local ministers were implicated for cedes of land and compensation, and all were dismissed and expelled.

The center of Bianjing and the east and west governments were empty at one time.

Tong Guan was still not satisfied, so he began to kill his former old rival. He first killed Gao Qiu, and then issued an order to kill Cai Jing, Cai You, Cai Tao, and his son who were demoted to the outside world, and to kill Zhu and his confidants. At the end of last year, many officials following Cai Jing fled from the capital thought that everything would be fine if they fled to the southeast. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, the situation in Bian Jing suddenly changed and their death date was also here.

=

On June 18th, the young emperor Zhao Heng issued an edict to guilty himself and abdicated to Zhao Kai on the same day.

Zhao Kai ascended the throne and became emperor.

=

When Zhao Kai became the emperor, the first thing he did was to invite the old emperor back to Longde Palace, and the old emperor was placed under house arrest again. The old emperor was so angry that he cursed, but what else could he do besides cursing people? It would be great that Zhao Kai could let him enjoy his old age.

Li Gang returned to the capital and became prime minister. Yuwen Xuzhong was recalled and served as deputy prime minister.

Tong Guan was in charge of the Privy Council, Zhe Yanzhi was the chief minister of the Privy Council, and Zhong Shidao was the signing Privy Council. Zhao Liangsi was highly valued and served as the Minister of the Central Secretariat.

Yao Gu restored his original position and was appointed as the commander of the Hebei battlefield.

June 20, Luoyang.

Li Hu received an imperial edict, and the emperor granted military and political power to the Northwest Marshal's Office.

Zhao Kai knew what Li Hu wanted. Before he consolidated the throne, stabilized Bian Jing, and recovered Youyan, Hebei, he needed Li Hu's force to give him strong support. Although he granted the military and political power of the Northwest Marshal's Office, in fact, Li Hu became the king of Northwest, this price must be paid. Otherwise, with Li Hu's order, more than 100,000 troops entered Bian Jing, he would be finished, and the Song Dynasty would be finished.

The one who came to announce the edict was Ma Kuo, the Minister of Rites. Tong Guan was very generous to those who made contributions to the Northern Expedition and would use them all. Ma Kuo Lian was promoted to several levels because he was a hero in the conclusion of the maritime covenant.

Li Hu hadn't seen Ma Kuo for a long time. After receiving the order, he immediately held a banquet to entertain him.

"Your Majesty asks you to promulgate the edict. Do you want to urge me to return to Taiyuan?"

"The Tiger King held troops in Xijing. Don't say that His Majesty is uneasy in sleeping and eating, even the ordinary people in Bianjing are frightened." Ma Kuo laughed, "When will the Tiger King return to Taiyuan?"

"Since I am in charge of the military and political affairs of the northwest, I have to take on this responsibility." Li Hu said a double talk, "Now the Huli Army is in charge of the northwest garrison. The area is too big, and the cost is too high..."

"Your Majesty and the East and West Governments are discussing this matter, but considering the battlefield in Hebei, it is estimated that there will be great difficulties in the short term."

Li Hu smiled and didn't say anything.

"There is one more thing." Ma Kuo continued, "The Supreme Emperor intends to recruit you as his son-in-law. I came this time to be entrusted by the Supreme Emperor..."

"Want to marry?" Li Hu interrupted Ma Kuo and sneered, "The money and food I need now are not marriages."
