The 240,000 forbidden troops were completely annihilated, and Zong Ying smoothly sprinkled a handful of salt on King Kang's already torn wound. It was this handful of salt sprinkled by Zong Ying that made King Kang Zhao Gou finally choose to flee to the island in a hurry.

What are the consequences of King Kang's escape? It was Zhang Jun of Huzhou who also panicked, and abandoned Huzhou, which King Kang ordered him to garrison, with his soldiers and horses, and rushed into Lin'an City, where the city wall was much thicker than Huzhou and the grain storage was far more than Huzhou.

Zhang Jun fled into Lin'an City, and the guards and generals in the states north of Lin'an were all in chaos when they heard the news. The county order doesn't care about the old and young in the family, and takes care of himself and hangs the seal to Lin'an. The guards ignored their subordinates, and began to rush towards Lin'an City with gold and silver and their families.

Just when Zhang Jun took the lead in making such a big turmoil, Han Shizhong went out after resting with Chong Yanling and Liang Hongyu for two days. This dispatch further intensified the speed of the escape of officials and generals from various places on the Liangzhejiang Road to Lin'an City.

Because of Han Shizhong's prestige, because of the prestige of the great victory of the Zhenwu army of the Northern Dynasty in Jiangning Mansion, Han Shizhong almost took all the cities west and north of Huzhou within three days without resistance, and then directly blocked the traffic arteries west and north of Lin'an City with 60,000 Zhenwu troops and 20,000 female attendants.

Why didn't Han Shizhong go directly to Lin'an City, with the strength he has now, in fact, there is some chance of directly attacking Lin'an City?

The reason why Han Shizhong blocked the traffic arteries and did not attack Lin'an City was that Liu Xing gave him an urgent order not to attack Lin'an directly.

Seeing that the complete victory and the great victory of destroying the Southern Dynasty were just around the corner, why did Liu Xing suddenly order that only Han Shizhong was allowed to lock the city and not allow him to attack the city?

The answer is very simple, and the old emperor Zhao Ji suddenly sobered up a few times. As soon as he woke up, he immediately took the little princess Zhao Jinzhu and the crazy emperor Zhao Chen and ran to the Taifu Mansion. As soon as they saw Liu Xing's face, the father and son, father and daughter knelt down for Liu Xing together.

The emperor kneels to his courtiers, is this worth it?

Liu Xing was also shocked at that time. He hurriedly knelt down and asked the old emperor, who was suddenly awake but sure that the lesions were not complete, what he wanted to do by himself.

When Zhao Ji saw Liu Xing asking, he immediately gave Zhao Jinzhu a look. Zhao Jinzhu understood, pear blossom brought rain, wept silently and begged Liu Xing not to kill King Kang and not to let Han Shizhong attack the city.

Because King Kang ran to Changguo County on the sea, but his wife and children were in Lin'an City. Once Han Shizhong started fighting, no one dared to guarantee that the royal bloodline and the people in the clan would not be accidentally injured or even killed by mistake.

Originally, according to Liu Xing's idea. Not only Han Shizhong was going to storm the Huidang army in Lin'an City, Zong Ying and the South Road, but even the armies of Guo Xiaoquan, Chen Kangbo and Yang Qin, who were rushing all the way from Jiangdong to Liangzhejiang, had to join the battle to completely encircle and annihilate the last living forces of the Southern Dynasty.

But now? In order to preserve the royal bloodline, the old emperor, the little emperor and the little princess came to beg themselves like this, and Liu Xing could only reluctantly choose to stop temporarily.

However, if he wanted Liu Xing to stop, Liu Xing didn't agree just because Zhao Jinzhu sobbed.

Aren't you awake? While Liu Xing said that he could agree to the request of the Emperor Shengtai, the official family and the princess, he also put forward two conditions to Zhao Ji.

On the first condition, Liu Xing hoped that Zhao Ji, in the name of the Emperor Shengtai, would first send an edict to Zhao Gou and ask him to immediately order the last force of the Southern Dynasty led by Zhang Jun to lay down his weapons. Obediently open the city gate and surrender unconditionally to Han Shizhong and Zong Ying.

As long as Lin'an took the initiative to open the city and surrender, Liu Xing promised that after the army of King Xin entered the city, no one would be killed, no one would be arrested, and no one would be punished. For Zhang Jun and other generals who fought to the death with the Northern Dynasties, they will not pursue their old crimes and will not be blamed for the past.

And King Kang himself, Liu Xing, also gave a very good guarantee, that is, as long as he surrendered voluntarily, he still retained his hereditary title of prince. It's just that he is not allowed to intervene in the government and politics anymore, let alone get involved in military affairs.

On the second condition, Liu Xing asked Zhao Ji to issue another holy edict to the world, clearly telling the whole world that from now on, the Great Song Dynasty will always be inherited according to the current system of the Northern Dynasty.

No matter who becomes emperor in the future, the constitutional monarchy of the Great Song Dynasty is immutable. It doesn't matter who is the prime minister. The emperor only has the right to appoint, not to recall.

The royal family still enjoyed the support of the entire Great Song Dynasty, but gave up many rights such as military affairs and political affairs. As a symbol of the spirit of the Great Song Dynasty in the future......

Once upon a time, the Khitans rushed to the bank of the Yellow River, and Zhao Ji's ancestor made an alliance with him. Once upon a time, the Great Song Dynasty faced the offensive of the Jurchens, and under the leadership of Zhao Ji, he established an alliance under the city.

But Zhao Ji never thought that one day in order to protect his children and grandchildren, he would be coerced and coerced by his Zhao family's courtiers to coerce him to set a fate that would completely make the Zhao family lose the actual right to rule the country. Generations can only make a new covenant with a puppet emperor who is high up but has no real power.

The alliance of monarchs and ministers, this is the definition and title officially given by Liu Xing after he put forward these two conditions.

This alliance of monarchs and ministers is actually far more difficult for Zhao Ji to refuse than when the Khitan soldiers fought to the Yellow River and the Jurchens killed in Henan.

Zhao Ji knew what the consequences would be faced if he rejected Liu Xing, it would be an order from the treacherous minister Liu Xing, who had monopolized power, and the city of Lin'an was full of blood and corpses in an instant. It would be Concubine Pan Xian, who was thrown in the city by King Kang Zhao Gou, and his unmasked little grandson, who was only two months old, were also devoured by the war.

Only two sons remained. Zhao Chen is crazy and crazy, three crazy a day, and it is obviously impossible to inherit the bloodline for the Great Song Dynasty. Now that Zhao Ji's unmasked grandson is the only inheritance of the royal bloodline of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, Zhao Ji doesn't want him to die in the war.

Compared with giving up the supreme right to truly dominate the world's major affairs, the inheritance of one's own bloodline is more important. Because as long as the bloodline of the Zhao family is inherited, as long as the bloodline of Taizong is not cut off by his Zhao Ji's generation, the hope of regaining the supreme power in the future is still there......

Therefore, Zhao Ji was very helpless and helpless and chose to accept Liu Xing's two conditions. He first sent an edict to Zhao Gou, and the Military Intelligence Department directly ordered someone to take an airship to Changguo County on the island, and ordered Zhao Gou to immediately stop resisting and surrender unconditionally to the Xinwang army of the Northern Dynasty in his father's tone.

Then he personally used his best thin gold calligraphy to solemnly write on a gold plate, "The power of the dynasty belongs to the prime minister, and all generations must not take it back." Return the power of the people to rejuvenate the world, and do not change the Liu Xiang system for thousands of years. ”

After he finished writing the Jinpan system, Liu Xing did not break his word, and immediately issued an order to Han Shizhong and Zong Ying at the same time to lock the city and not attack.

But what Zhao Ji didn't expect was that after he did this, when he turned to leave. Liu Xing faintly showed a strange, cold smile, and shot a golden needle into his body in an extremely imperceptible way.

When he returned to the palace where he lived, the poor, hateful and pathetic old emperor once again fell into that state of confusion all day long. (To be continued.) )
