Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

In the severe winter, the north wind howls, making the snow-covered city of Kaifeng look particularly desolate. A heavy snowfall had just stopped, and the sky and earth seemed to be covered by a thick layer of silver, reflecting the solemn atmosphere.

Liu Yu was escorted in a prison car, his hands tightly bound by heavy iron chains, and his feet also wearing heavy shackles.

His hair was disheveled, his face was covered with dirt and scars, and his eyes were staring blankly at Kaifeng City in the distance.

The city of Kaifeng has now become a nightmare in his heart.

Liu Yu's heart was filled with regret and despair.

He regretted that he had listened to Wanyan Zongfu's words and proclaimed himself emperor again, which resulted in his sinking to this point. He thought of his past splendor and glory, of those fawning ministers and beautiful and enchanting concubines, of the days when he held great power and guided the country.

However, all this has become a thing of the past, replaced by endless humiliation and pain.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu began to scold Wanyan Zongfu. His voice was hoarse and shrill, like a cry coming from the depths of hell. He scolded Wanyan Zongfu as a treacherous, insidious and cunning villain, and scolded him for deceiving him and putting him on this path of no return.

"Wanyan Zongfu, you despicable villain!" Liu Yu suddenly roared, "What did you tell me back then? You said that as long as I became emperor, I would be able to maintain my glory and wealth forever, but what about now? I have become a prisoner. He was escorted to Kaifeng for trial, all this was your conspiracy!"

Wanyan Zongfu turned around and glanced at Liu Yu coldly. His eyes revealed a kind of disdain and disgust, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Liu Yu, don't you understand now? This is all your own. What does your choice have to do with me? I just gave you a suggestion at the beginning. It was because you were greedy and wanted more power and wealth that you ended up like this."

"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Yu roared, "If you hadn't been encouraging me behind my back, how could I have embarked on this path of no return? You shameless villain, I want everyone in the world to know your true face!"

"Hahaha!" Wanyan Zongfu laughed, "Liu Yu, who do you think will believe your words now? You are just a loser and a pathetic emperor. Your words no longer pose any threat to me."

Yue Fei, who was stationed in Xingzhou, also arrived at Kaifeng City with the Jin envoys. His mission was to escort the 100,000 people who fled to the Jin Kingdom back to the Song Dynasty.

Yue Fei frowned when he heard Liu Yu's scolding along the way. He walked to the prison car and said coldly to Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, do you still have the face to make a fuss here? If you don't want to kill the nine tribes, just confess your guilt and obey the law!"

When Liu Yu heard Yue Fei's words, he suddenly softened like a deflated rubber ball.

He cried loudly, as helpless and pitiful as a child.

His cries were heartbreaking and miserable, as if he wanted to pour out all his regret and pain.

He knew that he had reached the end, and there was no longer any hope or retreat. He could only wait silently for the final judgment and punishment.

Yue Fei didn't have the slightest sympathy. He snorted coldly: "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place!" After saying that, he turned around, clamped the horse's belly, and continued towards the gate of Kaifeng City.

Wanyan Zongfu also turned away, no longer paying attention to Liu Yu's scolding and pleading. He knew that his goal had been achieved, and Liu Yu had become his abandoned son and had no use value anymore.

Liu Yu was escorted through the streets of Kaifeng City. His appearance immediately aroused the anger and contempt of the people.

They poured into the streets, surrounded the prison van, and cursed the former traitor with all kinds of unpleasant words.

"Liu Yu, you thief!" an old man cursed loudly, "You betrayed the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, thinking that you could exchange for glory and wealth. What happened? Now you are a prisoner. You really deserve it!"

"That's it! You shameless villain, you actually dare to come back to Kaifeng!" A middle-aged woman shouted angrily, "How did you treat our people back then? Have you forgotten the suffering we suffered? Now you still You have the honor to appear in front of us!" The anger of the people became more and more intense, and they threw all kinds of debris at Liu Yu.

Some people threw rotten vegetable leaves, some threw eggs, and some threw stones.

For a moment, a "rain of debris" seemed to fall around the prison car, making Liu Yu miserable.

"Kill him! Beat this traitor to death!" A young man roared and rushed forward to beat Liu Yu. But he was stopped in time by the soldiers next to him.

Liu Yu huddled in the corner of the prison car, shivering.

Wanyan Zongfu, Yue Fei and others watched all this silently, with different expressions on their faces.

Yue Fei frowned. He knew that the people's anger was justified, but he also knew that the most important thing now was to escort Liu Yu and others to the palace for trial, rather than letting them be lynched by the people here.

Liu Yu was escorted through the palace gates and finally arrived at the palace. His heart was beating like a drum, and every beat seemed to jump out of his chest.

He knew that what he was about to face was the princess and ministers of the Song Dynasty, and they would definitely judge him severely for his crimes.

In the main hall of the court meeting, Zhao Yingluo sat high on the dragon chair. The ministers lined up on both sides, and they were talking one after another.

When Liu Yu was escorted into the hall, everyone stopped what they were doing and all looked at him.

Those eyes were like sharp arrows, making Liu Yu feel uncomfortable all over.

"The guilty minister, Liu Yu, pays homage to the officials and the princess!" Liu Yu's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy. "The guilty minister was confused for a moment and committed a heinous crime. I beg your highness, the princess, to have mercy on the guilty minister." A chance to reform!"

Zhao Yingluo looked at Liu Yu coldly, her heart filled with anger and disgust. This thief who once betrayed the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin Kingdom actually dared to beg for mercy in front of her now? How shameless!

"Liu Yu, do you still have the face to beg for mercy?" an old minister shouted angrily, "You betrayed the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, which caused countless people to be displaced and their families to be destroyed. Your crimes are too numerous to describe and cannot be tolerated by heaven! You will not be killed today. It’s hard for the common people to be angry with you!”

"Yes! Kill him! Kill this traitor!" The ministers all agreed. Their voices were deafening, as if they were about to overturn the entire hall.

Liu Yu was trembling with fear, knowing that he had no way out.

He could only kowtow and beg for mercy, hoping to win some mercy from Zhao Yingluo.

However, Zhao Yingluo never spoke. She stared at Liu Yu silently, hesitant in her heart.

She knew that Liu Yu's crime was unforgivable, but she also knew that killing could only be done with a nod.

Moreover, Liu Yu's son has been executed, which can be considered as a partial payment of his guilt.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yingluo took a deep breath and said slowly: "Although Liu Yu committed a heinous crime, he thought that since his son had already been executed, he would no longer be held accountable for his death penalty. Exile him to Lingnan! He will never come back. !”
