Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 238 Strange rain falls from the sky
Xing Bingyi's face turned pale, and he looked at Zhao Gou and said in a daze: "Then Wang Boyan, the governor of Xiangzhou City, would have such an opinion! So, what did you tell him at that time?"

Zhao Gou said listlessly: "This matter is related to the country of the Song Dynasty. To my father, it is really an act of treason and injustice and should be punished."

"What could I say at that time? I just told Mr. Wang that it is better not to say such words casually. Even if Mr. Wang has been thinking about it for a long time, he should not say it out."

Xing Bingyi nodded and said, "Not bad, that's right."

"Now there is no third person in the house except you and me. I am your wife after all, so there is no harm in speaking out what is on my mind."

"Speaking of it, Mr. Wang wants you to support your own troops in Xiangzhou City and form a country of your own. In fact, there is not much wrong with it. After all, you and the concubine have been unpopular in the palace since you were young. Very coldly received."

"If you can establish a country on your own and be the king of the country yourself, you must be very proud!"

Zhao Gou frowned and turned to look at Xing Bingyi.

He never expected that Xing Bingyi was thinking the same thing about this matter.

At this time when the Song Dynasty is in turmoil, if we can support our own troops and establish a country on our own in Xiangzhou, the feasibility is actually very high.

First of all, the inner city of Bianliang has been besieged by the Jin army for many days, and a war between the Song and Jin Dynasties is imminent. It can be said that the Song Dynasty's urgent need cannot be relieved for a while.

If Zhao Gou established his own country at this time, even if the Song Dynasty wanted to raise troops to quell it, he would probably not be able to do so.

Therefore, from this point of view, it is actually a golden opportunity for Zhao Gou to establish his own country in Xiangzhou with his own troops.

It is no wonder that Wang Boyan made such an extremely bold proposition to him when he was in Xiangzhou.

Gradually, Zhao Gou fell into deep thought.

Due to the bumpy journey, Zhao Gou quickly fell asleep with his arms around Princess Xing Bingyi.

However, at this moment, dark clouds suddenly formed between the sky and the earth, and a torrential rain, which had not been seen in a hundred years, quietly fell on the mortal world.

Cold winds were blowing all over the area within and outside Bianliang City, and rainwater irrigated the mountains and fields.

When the heavy rain just fell, it already showed a different appearance, with the potential of a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

Sure enough, the heavy rain never fell from midnight that night to Chenpai time the next day.

It even rained harder and harder, causing tens of thousands of pine and willow trees in the inner city of Bianliang to sway back and forth. Many people's houses were even washed away by the rain and turned into mud.

All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. They had never seen such heavy rain before, as if the mortals had offended God.

After some inspection inside the Great Song Dynasty Hall, it was discovered that the solid ice on the walls on all sides of the Great Song Inner City had all been washed away by the heavy rain.

A new crisis has arrived. At present, the reason why the Great Song Dynasty Hall can withstand the fierce attack of the Jin army relies entirely on the ice on the city wall.

When this ice collapsed, it would be a disaster for the Great Song Dynasty.

It is strange to say that in the coldest month of winter, it rains strangely.

It's just raining, but this rain is rare in a hundred years, and it is a majestic downpour that is shocking.

Emperor Huizong already had cold sweat on his hands, and said to Count Ying who was standing next to him: "When the rain stops, the Jin people will definitely attack the inner city of Bianliang. What will they do then?" Count Ying said. Looking at the dense rain curtain outside the window, I naturally felt very weird and couldn't figure out why it was raining so strangely.
Regarding Emperor Huizong's question, Earl Ying could not give an answer at this moment, so he said: "Your Majesty, God bless our Song Dynasty, don't worry."

Emperor Huizong was listless, shook his head and said softly: "Don't worry? It's easier said than done..."

Be it the civil and military officials in the Great Song Dynasty, the common people in the inner city of Bianliang, or the Jin army stationed in the outer city of Bianliang.

Everyone felt that this heavy rain might be a joke played by the sky, and at most it would be over for a day and a night.

However, no one expected that this heavy rain would last for fourteen days.

During these fourteen days and nights, the heavy rain never stopped, and this torrential rain crazily ravaged the country of the Song Dynasty.

But it wasn't just Bianliang City, even the three cities and eighteen towns around the Yellow River were severely affected by this heavy rain.

Speaking of which, Bianliang City is relatively good. After all, it is an imperial city and the residence of the Zhao royal family.

However, the three-story eighteen towns around the Yellow River are really miserable.

Just after the heavy rain fell for a day and night, floods broke out in various places, and the government sent people to make repairs overnight.

It is often necessary to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall, and all efforts made are in vain.

In the blink of an eye, fourteen days passed.

The heavy rain had no intention of stopping. Suddenly, bad news came from the Yellow River area. The Yellow River dam was washed away, and the water of the Yellow River flowed southward, rushing toward Bianliang City.

The civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty were panicked, and they all lost their minds for a while, not knowing how to solve this difficult problem at present.

The monarchs of all countries in the world laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. The monarchs of the Kingdom of Jin, Dali, Xixia, Tubo, and the western countries of Hubei saw that even the Jin army was overwhelmed by the Song Dynasty. Such a big problem.

In the end, perhaps even before the final decisive battle began, Bianliang City was completely washed away by the water of the Yellow River.

Just imagine, the water of the Yellow River kept flowing from north to south, and finally rushed into the outer city of Bianliang, and then poured into the inner city of Bianliang from the outer city of Bianliang, completely soaking the palace of the Zhao royal family.

At that time, the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty would be like a boat in the vast sea.

It really made the king of the Song Dynasty unable to go up or down, which was so painful.

While all the countries in the world were immersed in this shocking joke, a turbulent and shocking debate was also taking place inside the Great Song Dynasty.

The officials were mainly divided into two groups. One group advocated leaving Bianliang City as soon as possible. This huge flood disaster was rare to encounter in 500 years.

If Bianliang City is not evacuated as soon as possible, when the flood comes, the inner court of Bianliang will be destroyed and all will be occupied by the Jin army stationed in the outer city of Bianliang.

Emperor Huizong naturally understood the pros and cons, but the war was now in full swing. If he gave up like this, all the previous efforts would be ruined.

Another group of people in the court advocated simply taking advantage of the situation and fighting to the death with the Jin army in this monstrous flood.

On the whole, no matter which side, there is actually an irrefutable truth.
