In Shangjing, Wanyan Zonghan went crazy. The Song army had already reached the city, but he had no soldiers left.
"It's mine. The whole world belongs to me. No one can take it away. Zhao Huan, Hebule! I will immediately send an army of 100,000 or 1 million to destroy you. Hahahaha..."
Wanyan Zonghan, holding a long sword, ran back and forth in the palace. He was barefoot and his hair was disheveled: "My God, I will call a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals to take down you bandits."
He rushed into the harem, and his wife, the current Queen Bi Lanzhen, and his two sons Wanyan Zhenzhu and Wanyan Gehannu looked at Wanyan Zonghan helplessly.
"Zhu'er, Nu'er, don't be afraid, your father will protect you." Wanyan Zonghan said staggeringly.
"Your Majesty, surrender." Bi Lanzhen said.
With a bang, Wanyan Zonghan flipped the table next to him and said, "Who dares to surrender? I will never surrender to that bastard emperor, even if I die."
Bi Lanzhen was so frightened that she hugged her two children tightly and dared not say anything. Wanyan Zonghan grabbed the youngest child and cut off Han Nu: "Father asks you, do you dare to surrender?"
Ge Hannu was only four or five years old. Although he didn't know what was happening at his young age, he could tell from his father's eyes that something was wrong. Ge Hannu said with tears in his eyes, "Father, I'm scared."
Wanyan Zonghan held him in his arms lovingly and said, "Don't be afraid, my dear. With your father by your side, no one will hurt you."
Ge Hannu held Wanyan Zonghan's neck with his two small hands, and Wanyan Zonghan patted him gently with his left hand. Suddenly, Ge Hannu's neck tilted, and his two small hands fell limply.
Wanyan Zonghan's long sword pierced into Han Nu's stomach. Bi Lanzhen screamed with horror on her face.
Wanyan Zonghan drew his sword and was about to stab Zhenzhu again: "I will never let my son fall into the hands of the dog emperor of the Song Dynasty."
With a "puff" sound, the long sword entered her abdomen. Bi Lanzhen rushed forward to block the sword.
Bi Lanzhen held the sword tightly and turned to shout to her eldest son: "Zhu'er, run! Run!"
Blood oozed from the corner of Bi Lanzhen's mouth, and she died after she finished speaking.
Wanyan Zhenzhu was so frightened when she saw her brother and mother being killed by her father that she had no idea of escaping.
Wanyan Zonghan approached him step by step: "Don't be afraid, Zhu'er, your father will go with you."
Wanyan Zhenzhu was so frightened that she kept backing away. Wanyan Zonghan's eyes were red, showing a kind of morbid madness. He walked towards her step by step.
"Dang!" Wanyan Zhenzhu accidentally broke a vase while retreating. Finally, there was the palace wall behind him and he had nowhere to retreat.
Wanyan Zhenzhu called out, "Father."
Wanyan Zonghan closed his eyes, thrust out with his sword, and Wanyan Zhenzhu fell to the ground.
Looking at the corpses of his wife and children on the ground, Wanyan Zonghan raised his sword and slashed at his neck.
"Your Majesty!" A man rushed in, Bagupin.
Bagupin was terrified when he saw the corpses on the ground. He said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The Song army is shouting outside the palace."
Zhao Huan had grown wiser. He no longer ventured to the front lines to seek his own death. He retreated to the rear, surrounded by various armies. These included Yue Fei's army, the Imperial Guard, the Huainan Army, and the Hebei Army.
"Your Majesty, Shangjing has been breached, and our army has surrounded the imperial palace. Marshal Yue would like to ask Your Majesty, should we attack or surrender the Jin Emperor?" The messenger reported.
Zhao Huan pondered for a moment, then said, "Try your best to preserve the Jin palace. First, persuade Wanyan Zonghan to surrender. If he refuses, then attack him."
At the Imperial Palace in Huining Prefecture in Shangjing, Yue Fei led the Yue Family Army to guard the South Gate, Zong Ze led his troops to guard the two northeastern gates, and Wu Ge guarded the West Gate, surrounding the entire palace.
"Wanyan Zonghan, as long as you are willing to surrender, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will spare your life. If you persist in your delusion, our army will attack us. We will give you one hour!" The Song army saw a high platform outside the palace, and the messenger shouted from the watchtower.
Yue Fei discussed with Zong Ze, Wu Ge and others. Zhao Huan wanted to keep the Shangjing Palace as much as possible, so surrender was the best option.
The Jin soldiers fled or surrendered, leaving only Bagupin and his loyal followers to guard Wanyan Zonghan in the palace.
Wanyan Zonghan calmed down considerably after his outburst, though his eyes remained mad. Bagupin and dozens of his men stood guard beside him, but these diehards were all pale and panic-stricken.
The Song army's calls for surrender outside the palace could be clearly heard. Wanyan Zonghan sat barefoot on the steps of the hall with his hair loose. He killed all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, or fled outside the palace to surrender.
"Bagupin, how long have you followed me?" Wanyan Zonghan suddenly asked.
Bagu Pin said, "Your Majesty, thirteen years and two months."
"Well, you were still a child when you followed me. Take the guards and leave. We surrender."
Bagupin was panicked: "Your Majesty."
"All of you, go out and lay down your weapons. If the Emperor of the Great Song is willing to release you, you can return to the countryside, hunt in the mountains, dig ginseng, and live the life of an ordinary citizen."
"Your Majesty." Bagupin felt vaguely uneasy.
Wanyan Zonghan waved his hand: "Everyone get out."
Bagupin and the guards didn't dare to say anything more. They threw down their weapons and walked out of the hall.
After leaving the hall, everyone came to the palace gate with their hands raised, and heard the crackling sound of burning behind them.
Bagupin was startled and looked back, only to see flames rising into the sky from the hall. It turned out that Wanyan Zonghan had burned himself to death.
"Your Majesty!" Bagupin shouted and knelt down. He had followed Wanyan Zonghan since childhood. Although he knew that Wanyan Zonghan's current situation was entirely his own fault, he was still his master after all.
The fall of Shangjing, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, also announced that the country of the Great Jin officially withdrew from the stage of history.
