Chapter 263: The Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the king of the fallen country became a dog without a home
The Song army was unstoppable and reached the capital of the Tang Dynasty in just three months.
Murong Fenghuang came with him and said, "I don't fight for territory. I just want to see Zhou Xiaocheng perish and feel happy."
Qingshan and the Prime Minister ignored him and told them to watch the fun if they wanted.
The enemy is at the gate.
"Listen, people of the capital and the garrison. We are the army of the Song State. Our king has ordered us not to harass the people and only to capture Zhou Xiaocheng. From now on, we will give you a peaceful world."
The prime minister held a loudspeaker and shouted to the city: "We are the Song Kingdom, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The land is evenly distributed and tax-free. Join the Song Dynasty and you will live a happy life."
After three days of shouting, Murong Fenghuang was annoyed to death: "If you don't want to fight, let me do it instead."
"What do you know? You nomads only know how to fight and kill. The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting." The prime minister said contemptuously, "You should learn more from our majesty, otherwise, even if you conquer the king of Wei, you will not be able to rule for long."
Everyone in the city was in danger, and Zhou Xiaocheng had lost the support of the people.
There were four new concubines: Shufei Zhang Yanyan, Shunrong Li Tiantian, Guifei Chen Yuanyuan, and Defei Shen Yangyang. Chen Yuanyuan and Defei Shen Yangyang were pregnant and did not leave, while the other two were taken away by their families.
The Zhang and Li families said to Zhou Xiaocheng, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on them. They are still young. Please spare their lives!"
Zhou Xiaocheng asked Zhang Yanyan and Li Tiantian: "My beloved concubines, do you want to leave me?"
Zhang Yanyan and Li Tiantian bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I still want to be filial to my parents. Please let us go."
Zhou Xiaocheng sighed and waved his hand: "Anyone who wants to leave can leave."
Everyone thought he was talking about everyone, so -
Not only did Zhang Yanyan and Li Tiantian leave, but all the eunuchs and palace maids who could escape packed up their belongings and ran out of the palace, each faster than the other.
In the blink of an eye, only Zhou Xiaocheng, the Empress Dowager, Vice Empress Zhuge and her son Zhou Yan, Imperial Concubine Chen Yuanyuan, Virtuous Concubine Shen Yangyang, and two concubines with princesses (concubines when he was the King of Nanhai) were left in the entire palace.
A soldier guarding the city asked Qingshan and Prime Minister Song loudly on the city wall: "You are coming in, will you really not kill us? Will you really make us stop fighting and starving in the future?"
"I promise! I am Du Nanfeng, the Prime Minister of Song. If I cannot do what I say, you will dig up my ancestors' graves!"
Qingshan was standing on one side, looking very majestic. The guard said to the garrison commander, "General, open the city. You have seen the Grand Marshal Qingshan. We cannot defeat him. Even the Grand Prince doesn't care about him. Why are we guarding here?"
The guarding general hesitated for a long time. He was brought by Zhou Xiaocheng from the fiefdom of King Nanhai. If he gave up, he felt that he would not be able to meet his master, but if he did not give up, he would die.
He asked loudly: "If we give up resistance, can you let our Majesty go? He has not done anything against the law, and he has not killed innocent people."
Du Nanfeng said loudly: "Listen, soldiers guarding the city. As long as you surrender, we will never harm anyone in the city, including your Majesty. As long as he doesn't kill us, we will never kill him, and we won't kill his concubine either."
These words were really sincere, and the guard was relieved. He asked Qingshan and Du Nanfeng to wait for him for a while.
He rode a fast horse to the palace and told Zhou Xiaocheng Du Nanfeng's promise.
Zhou Xiaocheng was so angry that he killed the guard with a knife, and personally rode out of the palace, shouting: "Open the city gate!"
Everyone else can surrender, but he can't!
The Queen Mother cried heart-wrenchingly and chased out of the palace.
When Zhuge saw Zhou Xiaocheng and the Queen Mother running away, she immediately said to Zhou Yan: "Yan'er, there is a cave in the southeast. Your mother will take you out from there."
Zhou Yan cried and said, "But my father hasn't come back yet."
"He can't come back." Zhuge pulled him to escape from the cave, but Zhou Yan refused: "Mother, I won't leave. I am the crown prince. I can't be a deserter."
"You are stupid, how can this be called desertion? This is to save life in order to make a comeback!" Zhuge said, "A real man can bend and stretch, and find an opportunity to fight back!"
Seeing the mother and daughter running away, Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yangyang also followed.
Zhuge pointed a sword at them and said, "Don't follow me. If anyone follows me, I will kill her with my sword."
He took Zhou Yan and hurriedly ran away through the cave where Xie Xiangxiang had originally escaped.
When Zhou Xiaocheng left the city, Qingshan said to Du Nanfeng, "Prime Minister, please stand back."
Du Nanfeng hid back and shouted with a loud speaker: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Tang, our Emperor of Song said that he only wants your land, not you! The city gates are open, you can go anywhere you want, and you are welcome to reorganize your troops and fight again at any time."
Qingshan also drew his sword, ready to fight at any time.
Zhou Xiaocheng rode his horse and rushed towards Qingshan.
The city walls were filled with guards and civilians, waiting to see them fight to decide the outcome.
Qingshan asked everyone to stand back, and the two fought for dozens of rounds. Zhou Xiaocheng was defeated, his weapon flew away by Qingshan, and he was kicked off his horse.
Everyone rushed forward, pinned Zhou Xiaocheng down and tied him up with ropes.
Du Nanfeng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we will meet again later."
The city gates opened and the Song army entered the city.
Du Nanfeng asked someone to stop Murong Fenghuang: "Don't come in, this is already the territory of Song State. If you want to come in, you must bring a letter of credence."
Murong Fenghuang snorted and said, "I hate sour scholars the most. People from the Central Plains are really annoying."
Du Nanfeng: "Since you hate the people of the Central Plains, then never enter the Central Plains. Oh, and the cities to the north that belong to the Central Plains must be given up."
Murong Fenghuang was stunned. Damn it. I just followed to watch the fun and I have to pay the price of losing the city?
"Let's go, Prime Minister Du, come and get it if you have the guts." Murong Fenghuang watched the excitement and left.
The Queen had already run out of the city. Seeing Zhou Xiaocheng tied up and thrown aside, she cried, "Your Majesty, shall we go?"
"Don't call me Your Majesty!" Zhou Xiaocheng's eyes were red. His throne, his lifelong dream, he had only been sitting on the chair for a few months, and it wasn't even warm enough yet, and it was over?
The Queen said: "Let's go and find another opportunity later."
"Looking for a chance!" There is no chance at all.
The couple stood outside the city, looking around in confusion, and suddenly thought of two words: a king who has lost his country, a dog who has lost his home.
Don't know where to go.
"Where is Yan'er?" He thought of his only son now. His son cannot die!
The Queen Mother actually wanted to stop looking for him, but Zhou Xiaocheng had already run into the city.
Du Nanfeng sent people to guard the gate of the imperial city. When they saw Zhou Xiaocheng rushing in, they would definitely not let him in again.
"My son and concubine are still inside. I want to take them all away." Zhou Xiaocheng said arrogantly, "This is my territory."
How could the goalkeeper have the same cultivation and fear as Qingshan and Prime Minister Du? They all laughed when they heard his words.
"Oh my God, Zhou Xiaocheng, how did you become emperor?"
"Our Prime Minister and Grand Marshal let you go according to the request of Lord Song, and you still want to occupy your territory? Do you think we are afraid of you? If it weren't for the Great Emperor of Jiuzhou, do you think you would still be alive now?"
"You can only beat up that hot-tempered Murong Fenghuang. Our Lord Song is not doing this for the sake of the Emperor of Jiuzhou, so why would it be your turn to be the emperor?"
"Get out of here now, or I'll get annoyed and chop you up."
"Your wife and children? They ran away a long time ago."
"Yes, your wife and children just ran away, go and find them."
Zhou Xiaocheng walked out of the imperial city gate in a daze, and suddenly he hunched over. Looking at the empress who was still crying in the wind, tears suddenly streamed down his face.
"In the end, it was Zi Tong who stayed by my side."
