Comprehensive film and television: Extreme reversal and inevitable death
Chapter 208 Princess Maude as a Captive 6
On the eighth day of February, Zong Ze, who was concerned about Bian Jing, traveled day and night to Kaide Prefecture (now Puyang, Henan), preparing to reorganize himself and eliminate the surrounding Jin troops before setting out north.
It was at this time that he, who was desperate to get on with his journey, suddenly heard a terrible piece of news - the capital had been destroyed, the two saints had been captured, and the land north of the Yellow River had become a foreign land.
Upon hearing the sad news, Zong Ze was shocked. He hated himself for coming too late, hated Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong for not living up to his expectations, and hated Prince Kang Zhao Gou even more for having such ambitions but not having the courage!
Oh, not completely gutless.
Although Zhao Gou did not have the courage to save his father and brother, he at least had the courage to continue internal strife when the country was in turmoil!
Thinking of this, Zong Ze felt his heart aching with anger.
He was a little confused, not knowing whether he should continue heading north.
If he continued to march north, he would definitely not be able to rescue Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong with only his 10,000 soldiers and horses.
But if he went back in disgrace, he would definitely continue to be under the control of Zhao Gou. Although he was still the deputy marshal in name, it would be difficult for him to lead troops again!
Just at this time when the situation was neither good nor bad, a soldier suddenly came to report that two women had come to the door. One of them claimed to be Princess Maode who had escaped from the Jin army.
“…Who are you talking about!?”
The news of Princess Maude's disappearance actually spread to various places before the news of the capture of Emperors Huizong and Qinzong. However, the amount of information in the latter news was so explosive that it seemed to have received little discussion.
Of course, she had been missing for such a long time that even if someone occasionally remembered her experience, they would not feel the slightest bit grateful that she had escaped from the Liujia Temple camp.
After all, this is a time of chaos.
Human life is worthless. If a man is alive, he may still have some ability to protect himself. However, a weak and helpless woman... she probably won't live long.
From the very beginning, no one took her seriously.
From the beginning, the men had already determined that she would die outside.
They may be killed by weapons, trampled by horses, thrown into fish’s stomachs, or cooked in pots…
In short, it is absolutely impossible for a woman like her to survive safely in such chaotic times. What is even more impossible is that she can live so well, so... glamorous!
Yes, bright and beautiful.
After being shocked, Zong Ze quickly went out to greet them. However, when he saw Zhao Fujin slowly getting off the carriage, his brain went blank again.
My mind was filled with the questions "Who is she? Where am I? Is this still the chaotic world I know?"
Zhao Fujin took Li Xiangqiao's hand and slowly got off the carriage. She stopped only after she reached Zong Ze. She looked up and down at this loyal minister who was devoted to the country, as if she was studying what value there was in him.
Then, she finally nodded slightly, her tone cold and arrogant.
"Master. Long time no see."
Zong Ze's eyes widened involuntarily from the moment Zhao Fujin got off the car. It was not until she spoke that he finally regained his sanity.
After comparing the face of the person in front of him with the image in his mind, he immediately bowed respectfully without hesitation.
Zong Ze has a very rich resume. He has been to Tokyo several times and naturally met Princess Maode, who is famous for her beauty in the Song Dynasty.
"Princess Di, it's really you... Old minister Zong Ze, I pay my respects to you! Princess Di, you have come here from a thousand miles away, could it be that you are ordered by the emperor... Could it be that the rumors are true? Was the fire at Liujia Temple really a plot made by Kaifeng!?"
He seemed quite excited. If it weren't for the difference in their status, he would have stepped forward and personally helped Zhao Fujin into the house.
The so-called loyal minister is someone who, even in the most desperate moment, still can't help but hold a glimmer of hope for the emperor.
Hearing this, Zhao Fujin glanced at him indifferently, and a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zong Ze's excitement suddenly cooled down, but he was still full of hope that Zhao Fujin could find him so accurately.
The two saints must have a secret decree!
They are not really two pieces of trash!
Hmm...I guess...?
After entering the main hall, Zhao Fujin stopped and turned around, took out the treasure of the Song Dynasty from his arms, and the expression on his face became even more arrogant.
"The treasure of the Song Dynasty is above, all soldiers, listen to my orders!"
Upon seeing this treasure, Zong Ze's heart suddenly became excited again. His eyes lit up and he knelt down without hesitation. Then, a large group of people knelt down.
"Your Majesty's Order: At this time, you should focus on marching north to defeat the Jin and recover lost territory, and not consider your own interests. Anyone who obstructs this will be executed, regardless of their status or bloodline."
Yes, that’s right, she openly flirts with that wimp Zhao Gou.
Zhao Fujin was indeed acting in accordance with the "superior's will", but the "superior" was herself.
Anyway, the imperial seal is in her hands, Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong have been dealt with, and Zhao Gou does not have the courage to proclaim himself emperor privately. Now, she is the boss.
When they heard the "imperial edict" from Zhao Fujin's mouth, the eyes of Zong Ze and other generals suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in their eyes.
They thought to themselves: The Song Dynasty can still be saved. As long as they continue to fight, they will be able to rebuild the Song Dynasty in their lifetime!
only……
Zong Ze lowered his head and wiped his tears. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but look up at Zhao Fujin and asked hesitantly:
"Emperor Princess, then...the Second Saint, should we still save him?"
Hearing this, Zhao Fujin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, chuckled, and said:
"What two saints?"
"The Second Saint..."
"My poor father and brother committed suicide on the day Tokyo fell... They didn't even leave their bodies behind... It's so sad and lamentable!"
As Zhao Fujin said this, he raised his hand and pretended to wipe his eyes, which were not red at all, and continued in a calm tone:
"What Wanyan Zongwang has captured now are just two puppets pushed onto the stage by the Jin people. Their purpose is to blackmail us so that we won't act rashly.
Gu Qianli rushed here just to spread the news to the public so that no one would fall into the trap of the Jin people easily.
However, I think, you guys, you wouldn't believe such rumors which are obviously false, right?
After all, my father and brother are emperors. How could they willingly become prisoners of the Jin people without offering any resistance?
Don’t you think so, Marshal?
As soon as these words were spoken, Zong Ze understood instantly in his heart - Princess Maode was preparing to personally give "honor" to the two emperors.
It's the kind that even if they don't want to be decent, they are forced to be decent.
Thinking of this, Zong Ze looked at Zhao Fujin with a hint of surprise and disbelief in his eyes.
He was horrified by the cruelty of the man in front of him, and was also afraid that the Song Dynasty's treasure might not have come from a legitimate source. But at the same time... his heart was also ignited with anger.
Amid the continuous echoes from his subordinates, Zong Ze finally chose to bow his head to this princess whom he had never taken a serious look at before.
He said: "Dear Princess, you are right. In our Song Dynasty, there is absolutely no monarch who is so weak and servile!"
At this point, Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong finally died for their country.
He died with a clear conscience and also paved the way for Zhao Fujin, who held the imperial seal.
As for the future of the two dead eunuchs who are still in the prisoner team?
That's hard to say.
----
(The princess can call herself "Ben Gong" or "Gu", but in the later period, "Gu" is more often used by the prince to refer to himself, and the princess is not used. The protagonist uses it because she is arrogant.)
