Chapter 810 Don't you like signing alliances under the city?sign!Why don't you sign it!
The night wind rustled.

The torch flickered.

Seeing Ban Zhi's guards shrank into the inner city, blindly defending, never daring to come out to fight again, the group of heroes led by Ding Run felt as if they were in a dream.

This is the Great Song Palace!
There were less than a hundred people in the area, and they rushed in like this, forcing Ban Zhi's guards to retreat again and again, and even became a coward, which was unthinkable beforehand.

Ding Run licked his lips, and even came up with a bold idea: "Wouldn't it be great if we could rush into the palace and chop off the head of that stupid king with a single knife?"

But after thinking about it, the stupid and tossing kings like Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi are actually the best helpers for their own side. If you kill Zhao Ji, not to mention that the world's public opinion will soon change, and it will fall to the Zhao Song royal family , in case a capable new monarch takes over, wouldn't that make it more difficult for the cause of dynastic change?

He had the guts, but he restrained the impulse. Others didn't have the guts to kill the king. They only thought that they could beat the guards back to the inner city. The scenery tonight was unforgettable for a lifetime.

But immediately after, Li Yan's majestic voice sounded in the misty: "Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, you lead the team to the Kuanyi Tianwu command post and fetch the dry rations for the march. It will take more than [-] people for ten days." rations;”

"Lu Da, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, you lead the team to the Yulongzhi Guards' Office, and get all the weapons inside, especially the bow and arrows of the divine arm. You must ensure that they will be used for more than ten days. If a place The command post is not enough, and there are also imperial equipment at the imperial belt station; "

"Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, Li Dang, you have set up defense lines on the three floors of Nanxunmen, Xinsongmen, and Fengqiumen, and prepare to stand firm."

"Master Ding, you take the rest of the people and go to the city quickly, gather the righteous men, and return before dawn."

Not to mention all the heroes, Ding Run was shocked when he heard this: "Senior, are we not going to leave, but are we going to stick to the imperial city instead?"

Li Yan turned to look at them: "What is the purpose of your coming here?"

Lu Da immediately said: "Save Gao Qingtian, and prevent the loyal and good people from dying in vain!"

Shi Xiu replied: "Let those dog officials who framed Zhongliang suffer a terrible death!"

Others answered, and there are no more than these two answers...

Li Yan nodded slightly: "Since that's the case, if we just take advantage of the night to go to the imperial city to demonstrate, and the Zhao Song royal family will pretend to be deaf and dumb in the future, we will not be able to clear up Gao Qingtian's grievances, and will not harm the treacherous officials. Come here What's the point?"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other.

Li Yan continued: "I have already been to the Dali Temple Prison, and the officials there are planning to kill Gao Qingtian in the prison's storm pavilion after receiving the decree, in order to avoid huge public indignation when he is beheaded in the downtown area. .”

"But if we break into the prison like this, in the eyes of people who don't know why, they will really think that Gao Qingtian is a traitor and offender who was rescued by his accomplices!"

"So Zhongliang must be rescued, treacherous ministers must be killed, and the true colors of the faint emperor must be revealed to the world. Do you understand?"

Everyone understood a little bit, but didn't understand, they just stared blankly at this stalwart figure, and listened to his shocking words: "Didn't Song Ting negotiate a peace with the Liao people and sign an alliance of treasure and protection? Since he likes to lose power and humiliate the country so much, then Just sign a new covenant, this is the purpose of our coming here!"

……

"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—"

Arrows fell like rain, and the imperial guards of the Beijing camp retreated screaming, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

Seeing them retreating out of range in fear again, a group of purple-robed officials who were watching from a distance almost jumped their feet. He Zhizhong, the leader, sternly said: "Quickly call that group of trash!"

The general of the Forbidden Army came to him and knelt down on one knee: "The thief is rampant, I hope you will forgive me!"

When He Zhizhong was furious, he didn't care about his manners, and sprayed his saliva directly on the other person's face: "The old man will not forgive your sins, your majesty will not forgive your sins, and my Jiangshan Sheji in the Song Dynasty will not forgive you. The great crime of the incompetent!"

For the officials of the Song Dynasty, when they woke up early in the morning and were just about to go to court, a thunderbolt fell from the blue sky.

Since last night, the Great Song Palace has been occupied by a group of rebels headed by "Zuo Ming", and after the sun rose, the other party still didn't run away, and continued to stay in the imperial city, posing a steadfast posture.

This is unbelievable, not to mention that it did not happen in the Song Dynasty, even in the past dynasties, there has never been a situation where the palace was occupied by rebels and they could not leave!
Oh, the emperor took the lead to move the capital to the south and fled. This is the new imperial city...

That's not OK!

Seeing the constant commotion coming from behind, it was obvious that the yamen servants who prevented the people from coming forward were working very hard. He Zhizhong's chest rose and fell violently, and he roared: "I have an hour for you, you must take down the thief, let me wait to enter the emperor's house." Visit His Majesty at the Jingmen of Chengli!"

From the direction of the general of the Imperial Army, you can even see the people of Jinling attracting from all directions, probing their brains not far away, feeling that he was under such a huge pressure that he almost collapsed, and said: "The thief occupies an important place in the city defense and has the equipment in the warehouse, and he commanded it properly. , and we and the imperial army are not acclimatized and suffering from illnesses, there is absolutely no way to take back the Lijing Gate within an hour... Please go to the side door to enter the forbidden area, and pay your respects to Your Majesty!"

He Zhizhong glared angrily. Normally, it doesn't matter if you enter the palace through the side door, but at this moment, none of the officials dared to avoid the main entrance of the imperial city, and walked around into the inner city of the palace through the side door. Listen to those, hurry up and kill the thieves, if it doesn't work, come and see me!"

The generals of the imperial army had no choice but to retreat and continue to attack, and soon there were screams.

An hour later, when another blood-stained general of the Forbidden Army came to take orders, He Zhizhong's voice also trembled: "You have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, could it be that you can't even attack a city gate?"

The general of the imperial army said in a low voice: "I tell you, relying on the advantages of the city, there are precedents where hundreds of people resist the attack of tens of thousands of troops, and the palace is built with high walls and deep walls, and it is even more difficult to capture, unless..."

He Zhizhong asked anxiously, "Unless what?"

The general of the Forbidden Army lowered his head: "Unless you use siege equipment!"

He Zhizhong's face suddenly changed: "Use siege equipment to attack my Great Song Palace? Are you crazy?"

The generals of the imperial army also knew that this kind of behavior was too crazy, but they just tried it several times, but they were easily repelled by men with strong martial arts.

Judging from the opponent's formation, there is actually a certain amount of advance and retreat, and it is obvious that there is a general who is very good at commanding the team.

If it was really commanded by "Zuo Ming", it would be very scary, because the other party didn't make a move at all, and could easily resist the attack of the imperial army just by dispatching his subordinates. Then how long it will take in the future, I really can't imagine ...

This time, He Zhizhong stopped talking about raising his head to meet him, and his complexion became extremely ugly, and he roared: "Siege equipment must not be used, you must quickly mobilize people, and you must take down the culprits, go!"

The generals of the imperial army left in a hurry, but He Zhizhong's eyes showed deep worry: "If the thief is allowed to linger in the palace for a day, what will be the face of my Song court?"

At this moment, Wang Fu came to his side and said in a low voice: "Mr. He, the official is not talented, so I recommend one person. This is the descendant of Hu Yanzan, a famous general in Hedong at the beginning of the founding of the country. The whip has the courage that is beyond all means, let him lead the horse, and he can punish the bandits!"

Someone once recommended Hu Yanzhuo to Zhao Tingzhi. Zhao Tingzhi was concerned about the other party's military background, and finally chose Qin Ming and Dong Ping. After hearing this, He Zhizhong hurriedly said: "Call this General Hu Yan over immediately, who else do you have?" Recommended?"

The confidantes on the left and right thought about it and said: "The lower official also knows one person. He is a descendant of King Wu'an's lineage of three points in the late Han Dynasty. His surname is Guan Mingsheng. He makes a Qinglong Yanyue Saber. brave."

Some people said: "Your official knows one person, Yang Zhi, who is the descendant of three generations of generals and the grandson of the fifth prince Yang Linggong. He was born in martial arts, and he is good at martial arts!"

He Zhizhong was finally relieved: "Okay! Okay! The Huyan family, the Guan surname, and the generals of the Yang family are all loyal ministers of my Great Song Dynasty. Quickly call them over, capture and kill the thieves, and there will be rewards!"

Left and right went to take orders, Wang Fu thought of Gao Qiu who was imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison and hadn't died yet, he was very worried, and hurriedly said: "Mr. "Leader, if you want to prevent the embankment from moving the tiger away from the mountain, it is better to send heavy troops to guard Dali Temple!"

He Zhizhong had considered this a long time ago, but what he thought was different from Wang Fu. Instead, he hoped that Gao Qi would be rescued by "Zuo Ming", so that he would not have to be involved in the unwarranted infamy: "What Wang Yushi said is not unreasonable, but the thief To act recklessly and boldly, at this time, His Majesty's safety must be the top priority, and if there are soldiers, they must be transferred here first, and we must not give up the basics and take the last, because the small loses the big!"

Wang Fu's complexion changed slightly: "Then, should the high-ranking thief be rectified on the spot, so as to eliminate the thought of the thief?"

He Zhizhong's eyes sharpened and he said in a low voice: "Wang Yushi said carefully, Gao Qi has been harmed now, so that the thief went berserk and shocked the officials. You must die!"

But Wang Fu didn't back down, as a courtier who personally proposed that Gao Qiu survived, he would be finished, and said from another angle: "My husband's concern is very serious, but we can also find out what the thief is asking, so we might as well send officials to inquire. The thieves want to release Gao Qiu, and they can obtain evidence of the crime, and then use Gao Qiu as a hostage to force him to leave Miyagi first, and the best thing is to quickly calm the situation!"

He Zhizhong looked at the more and more turbulent people behind him, and considering that he would not be able to take down the three fierce generals as soon as possible, he could only say in a low voice, "Go and do it!"

Wang Fu secretly thought to the old fox, retreated to the Yushitai side, and quickly persuaded a bloody young Yushi with his three-inch tongue, and walked towards the fallen Miyagi with a righteous and fearless attitude: "The Yushi Chen He is here, is there any thief who dares to confront me?"

The city was quiet for a moment, no arrows were shot, a hanging basket was lowered, and it was pulled up.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the censor was put down again, holding two things in his hands, and came to He Zhizhong: "Mr. He, this is the condition proposed by Da Ni Zuo Ming. This person has something to say. If you don't agree to the request of the covenant, no matter who you invite, you won't be able to take back Miyagi..."

"Covenant?"

He Zhizhong was astonished and took it.

After unfolding it, I found that the first copy was actually "The Alliance of Song and Liao Baoyou".

For this peace agreement that has now become a laughingstock, his cheek muscles twitched, and he immediately closed it, and then looked at the second one.

This copy obviously imitated the format of the Blessing Alliance, except that the party to the contract changed from the Liao Kingdom to many righteous men headed by "Zuo Ming", all of them who could read signed their signatures, and those who could not read pressed their fingerprints.

"A group of lowly people talk about the covenant without knowing what it means..."

He Zhizhong was quite disdainful at the first glance, but when he thought about it carefully, he was a little terrified, and then he read the content carefully.

Compared with the six major treaties of Song and Liao, there are only three here, which are clear:

First, release the emperor's secretary and raise Gao Qiu, reward meritorious deeds, and give the right treatment to restore Yanyun;
Second, punish [-] treacherous ministers including Prime Minister He Zhizhong, Yushi Wangfu, and Minister of Internal Affairs Liang Shicheng who turned black and white and greeted Shangyi in the questioning of Gao Qiu, so as to rectify the innocence;
Third, the official Zhao Ji issued an edict of guilt, admitting to many crimes including killing his mother, and proclaiming them to the world;

He Zhizhong read it halfway, and his hands trembled violently. In the end, his facial features were distorted, and he was startled and terrified: "What a 'Zuo Ming'! What a treason! This is not a covenant at all...it is about the death of Song Dynasty! !!"
