From the very beginning, when the outermost wall of Thang Long City was blown up by the Song army, although Li Deqian did not hear the movement, his guards reported the incident to him.

Li Deqian, who was about to fall asleep in a daze, instantly lost the slightest sleepiness, and immediately summoned the guards in the palace to prepare to go out to meet the enemy.

However, the commander of his guards advised Li Deqian not to attack easily, there were 30,000 defenders in Thang Long City, and there were no less than 20,000 people in the outer city of the palace. With these 50,000 people here, even if the enemy can descend into the world, he can't easily break through.

Li Deqian thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. However, he still ordered a part of the imperial city guards to go outside to help the people flee and maintain order.

Now his greatest fear was not that the enemy would enter the Imperial City, but that the panicked people would destroy themselves.

After being an emperor for so many years, Li Deqian has long known that the reason why a country can be established is not based on how wise he is as an emperor. Instead, thousands of people in the world have jointly formed this country.

Tang Taizong said that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, which is probably the truth.

However, after that, the successive pieces of information made Li Deqian nervous.

"Your Majesty, after the Song army entered Thang Long City, it was like entering a no-man's land, and they came directly to the imperial city!"

"Your Majesty, the Song army has already arrived in the outer city of the Imperial City! Your Majesty, run away! ”

"Your Majesty, the outer city has been destroyed! It's still too late to escape! Even if the last general dies, he will protect his subordinates! ”

"Your Majesty! The inner city is broken......"

Every time the commander of the guards in the imperial city persuaded him to escape, Li Deqian refused. The people are still suffering, and as the lord of a country, how can he, as the lord of a country, flee for his life before the people?

But this is just an empty cliché, in his heart, he still feels that it is impossible for the Song army to attack the imperial city and threaten him.

But when this moment really came, Li Deqian still admitted defeat.

He hurriedly changed into the eunuch clothes that he had prepared a long time ago, and let his concubine also dress up as a palace maid, and under the protection of the guards who were also dressed as eunuchs, the group left from the back door of the palace in embarrassment.

Gao Shu led the Pingxia camp to a breaching bamboo, and those who dared to hinder them along the way were either blown into pieces of meat by grenades or burned to black ashes by the flames.

However, when the Pingxia camp began to search for Li Deqian's traces all over the world, it found nothing, and only caught some concubines abandoned by Li Deqian.

The prince of Jiaozhi was also gone, Gao Shu was annoyed in his heart, it seemed that he was still too slow, Li Deqian and they received the news and had fled.

But it's okay to run away, which is exactly what Gao Shu wanted. After sending three people to ride back on fast horses to report to Tangning, Gao Shu replaced the royal flag at the head of the city with the banner of the Zhenjiang army.

At the same time, several eunuchs were captured and asked to lead the way

Go to the place where Li Deqian hid his treasure.

The emperors have all run away, where do the eunuchs dare to disobey. One or two were scared like quails, honestly leading the way in front.

brought everyone to Li Deqian's treasure house, and as soon as the door opened, the gold, silver and jewelry reflecting the fire were dazzling, making people unable to open their eyes.

Even the tall tree's breathing became a little heavy, and as far as the eye could see, there were gold and silver ingots like hills lying in every corner. The cabinets in the treasury are lined with all kinds of colorful jade orbs, and the walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings of famous artists from the previous dynasties, including some treasures that have been priceless in a single piece.

Steward Chu kept taking a deep breath, and as a businessman, he could judge at a glance how much the things in this warehouse were worth. He was ecstatic in his heart, and sure enough, he didn't suffer any loss this trip with Song Jun.

Even if the Song people sold these things to the Divine Family at an equal price, the Divine Family would be able to make three to four times the profit in this operation.

"Give priority to taking away the calligraphy and paintings." Gao Shu thought about it for a while, and then began to issue an order: "Be careful, don't damage those calligraphy and paintings, otherwise you won't be able to afford it."

After the calligraphy and paintings were packed up and taken away, I went to get the jade and jewelry. When all these things are loaded, you will take as much gold and silver as you like.

If you don't have a place to take it, don't be afraid, when General Tang and the army come, we still have to come back here. None of the benefits that should be given to you are indispensable, so don't rush to get yourself something just yet.

Take away everything that should be handed over to the treasury first, and don't the rest be ours? ”

Seeing that all the soldiers rushed in and began to carry things in his arms, Gao Shu hurriedly stopped it loudly.

When the soldiers heard this, they reluctantly threw away all the gold and silver, and began to rob the property in an orderly manner according to Gao Shu's orders.

The only pity is that I didn't bring a car with me on this trip into the city, and the calligraphy and paintings were wrapped in clothes and then tied on my body and taken away. Things like jade jewelry stuffed the upper and lower pockets of the body.

The eunuchs who led the way also had the intention to come in and secretly take some away, but they were all discovered by the Song army and ended up dead.

The Song army plundered property here, while Li Deqian and his family members fled the imperial city under the protection of the guards.

On the way they came across a heavily armed army, probably about two thousand men. The commander of the guard was overjoyed to distinguish that the two men at the forefront of the army were the head of the guard under the Prime Minister and the Minister of Military Aircraft.

hurriedly went up to report to the door, but the two looked at each other and suddenly laughed in ecstasy.

Before the commander of the guards could figure out what was going on, his head had already fallen to the ground.

Subsequently, the soldiers behind the two immediately rushed up and surrounded Li Deqian and his party.

"It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there. Your Majesty, you can make it easy to find the grass people! ”

"What are you guys going to do here?!" Li Deqian was shocked and angry: "Do you want to rebel?!" ”

"Rebellion?" One of them showed a frightened expression and said jokingly: "We are all nameless little people, how dare we rebel against Your Majesty?" It's just taking advantage of today's chaos to fish in troubled waters. I didn't expect to touch a big fish like you this time, for the sake of your noble status, our two brothers won't do anything with you.

You still obediently follow the villain, but the prime minister has a stomach ready to tell you! ”

Who is Li Deqian? I immediately understood this person's words, and I chuckled in my heart, and secretly said that it was not good.

Since the beginning of the fight a few years ago to imitate the Song system to change the domestic bureaucracy, opposition voices have risen one after another. Because of a restructuring in the Xining years, the Song people removed many, many positions that only ate and did not do things.

However, such a position in Annan is a big one.

This is also the reason why Li Deqian wants to restructure, but such behavior undoubtedly touches the interests of many people.

One of the interesting things about Annam is that it is a place that pays attention to surnames.

They recognize their clan very well, two people with the same surname sit together and look through the family tree, as long as they can be traced back to a common ancestor, then they are members of the same clan. It is also an unwritten rule that brothers and sisters of the same clan should help each other a lot.

With such characteristics, the things that a person has attained and the chicken dog ascends to heaven will emerge in endlessly. There are many relatives and friends in China who promote themselves when they gain power, sit in official positions and wait for death.

As a result, Li Deqian's restructuring touched the interests of these people and filled their hearts with dissatisfaction with Li Deqian.

This is the way things are in the world, and the power in the hands of the bureaucratic aristocracy in the feudal era is not small. The Song Dynasty was pushed back a few hundred years, and it was not the emperor or the minister who really spoke, but those scholars who had talents in their hands and most of the clans served in the court.

scolded secretly, Li Deqian was like a deflated ball.

In his heart, there was sadness and indignation.

If the prime minister doesn't engage in these bells and whistles, he can accept it if he directly puts forward his opinions, even if he directly launches a coup d'état.

But taking advantage of the Song army's capture of Thang Long City, they did this again, and it is difficult for people not to think that they colluded with foreign enemies and collaborated with the Song people to make such a big show.

Looking at the smoke everywhere in Shenglong City, for a moment Li Deqian wanted to rush up and fight these people.

Are their so-called interests really that important? More important than the survival of the country? More important than the safety of the people?

Li Deqian couldn't figure it out, so he looked at the two guard commanders with contempt in an extremely indifferent tone and said, "Your names will go down in history, and you are destined to follow your master and leave a stench for ten thousand years!" ”
