1344 First Snow
Wanyan Cong and Wanyan Jie's carriage galloped rapidly in Huining City towards the direction of the palace, and wherever they passed along the way caused a stir.
Although the Song army has not yet attacked Huining Mansion, the people in the city are already numb and dull, and the panic emotions have begun to spread rapidly in the court and even the entire Huining Mansion after Wanyan Tuoda died in the battle.
And today, as the first heavy snow was about to fall down in the gray sky above my head, the army of the slaves of the gods was now under the command of Huining Mansion, and the entire Huining Mansion had become the last lonely city of the Great Jin Kingdom.
The tiny snowflakes that melted immediately began to fly in the air by the cold wind, which instantly brought a faint chill on people's faces. But the first snow this year lacked a sense of comfort in people's hearts, and a little more desolate and solemn coldness out of thin air.
The carriage drove across the street like a gust of wind. The strong wind swept the snowflakes that had not yet fallen to the ground, forming a vortex that could be seen in the naked eye. The tiny snowflakes in the vortex were torn and smashed almost immediately, as if they were tearing the hearts of countless people, scholars, merchants and officials in Huining City.
Most people in Huining Mansion feel unbelievable about the current situation, and few people feel helpless.
However, no matter which dynasty or generation, there is never a shortage of people who like to set off the horse. There are many such people among them who have just passed by a carriage. In the dull atmosphere, with alcohol on the head, the uncontrollable sadness in my heart began to burst out.
As the atmosphere in the restaurant became more and more solemn and sad, the hindsmen began to cry out: When the death of the late emperor and the changes in the palace, I had actually expected that the Great Jin Dynasty would be today.
How we treated the Song people back then, I am afraid that the Song people will treat us now.
Let's go home and wash your neck and wait for the Song people to massacre the city.
Today's saints... are hard to describe. Although the late emperor lost some of the cities and territories of our Great Jin Kingdom when we were alive, because of our relationship with the Song court, if the late emperor was alive, the Song court would not have killed them all, and our Great Jin Kingdom would not have fallen to the point of today's destruction.
"Did the Song people kill someone?" Amid the pain and complaining sounds in the restaurant, an old voice seemed particularly heavy.
The old man who has been patronizing this restaurant for many years has gray beards and has little hair left on his head when he takes off his hat. He can see it when he opens his mouth and drinks, but he doesn’t even have a few teeth left in his mouth.
"Are you still afraid of killing people or not? You have lived to this age, and this life is worth it." said a guest who is familiar with the old man.
"It's worth it? Is the family worth it?" The old man picked up the wine bowl and sighed and drank it all.
The familiar guest was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face became even more painful. He also picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and sighed to the sky: "It depends on God's will."
"But I heard that the Song people have not slaughtered the people all the way. Otherwise, how could the slaves of the gods outside the city be willing to surrender to the Song people and beat us up?" Another heavy voice sounded.
The guest who was familiar with the old man pulled a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth and sighed: "Qi Shilie's slaves to avenge the late emperor, so they naturally would not slaughter us people, but the Song people... can they... be the same?"
"Master, we still have Long'an City. As long as we immediately issue an order to let Wanyan come to rescue him from Yiqiu Long'an, we will definitely be able to fight back the rebels, Qi Shilie's slaves inside and outside." Wanyan Cong couldn't help but say.
Wanyan Xun sighed slightly, and a trace of imperceptible despair flashed in his eyes.
Although Wanyan Tuoda's defeat was already prepared when Wanyan Tuoda ordered Wanyan Tuoda to leave the city, he did not expect that Wanyan Tuoda would be defeated so quickly and so thoroughly.
Similarly, he did not expect that when facing the Slave Qi Shilie, who had almost never won a battle in Song Ting and Ye Qing, he would win so easily when facing Wanyan Tuoda. The winning was so easy and easy that Huining Mansion caught him off guard, and even without any time to react, he had already won.
Wanyan Xun knew that Wanyan Tuoda was greedy for money and lust, so when Wanyan Congyi suggested that Huining Mansion was enough to stick to it and not have to go out of the city to pacify the rebels of the gods slaves of Qi Shilie, Wanyan Xun had already vaguely guessed that the reason why Wanyan Congyi suggested this was probably more about considering Wanyan Tuoda's character.
When Wanyan Xun ordered Wanyan Tuoda to leave the city to quell the rebellion, he did consider this, but at that time he was somewhat lucky, and even defended Wanyan Tuoda in his heart, believing that Wanyan Tuoda should be able to distinguish the primary and secondary in the situation in such a serious situation.
But when Wanyan Tuoda left Huining Mansion, the first memorial sent back immediately made Wanyan Xun realize that Wanyan Tuoda, who left Huining Mansion, was like a wild horse that was out of control, and was completely out of control.
But even so, Wanyan Xun still looked at the combat power of the elite troops led by Wanyan Tuoda, and even believed that Wanyan Tuoda's robbery of surrounding prefectures and counties may be able to stimulate the morale of the army. In this way, even if the people, merchants and some aristocratic families are affected, as long as they can pacify the rebels of Qi Shilie, the deal will be very cost-effective no matter how you look at it. At worst, you will compensate those aristocratic families or royal families who are close to you.
But he obviously never expected that Wanyan Tuoda, who left the city in the name of quelling the rebels, had no intention of quelling the rebels at all. He focused on how to make money and rob beauty. Finally, when he was planning to set off from Quzhou to another city to rob, he was attacked by the army led by the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie, and eventually... the entire army was wiped out, and Wanyan Tuoda was almost left with only a blood-stained skeleton, which was thrown down the tower of Huining Mansion.
"Wanyan has descended from Yi." Wanyan Xun, who came to his senses, said with a calm expression as he looked at Wanyan Cong.
"Has Wanyan surrendered to the Song court from Yi?"
"How is that possible?"
"Wanyan Congyi is extremely shameless, and at this time he actually chose to surrender to Song Ting!"
"Wanyan Congxian, is this the younger brother you have always admired?" After taking several deep breaths and calming down the anger in his heart, Wanyan Jie stood up and looked for Wanyan Congxian in the crowd.
There were only a dozen people in the imperial study room. Wanyan Jie searched it and did not find Wanyan Congxian's figure. He immediately turned around and looked at Wanyan Xun.
"Master, haven't you summoned Wanyan Congxian to the palace?" After Wanyan Cong learned that Wanyan Congyi had surrendered to the Song court, coupled with the current dilemma of Huining Mansion, Wanyan Cong's hands and feet were instantly cold, and his whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.
He did not think about why Wanyan Congyi surrendered, but was thinking, what should I do now? Can he still live to see the sun tomorrow?
Long'an City has surrendered, and the gods of Qi Shilie are now coming to Ning Mansion. So... Isn't this lonely city left in the entire Jin Kingdom now?
"Master, please issue an order to immediately arrest Wanyan Congxian and Wanyan Congyi's family to question, so that Wanyan Congyi can also know the result of betraying the saint and betraying my Great Jin Kingdom at this moment." Someone in the crowd said viciously.
After hearing this suggestion, Wanyan Cong and Wanyan Jie nodded quickly.
Wanyan Xun listened quietly to the dozen ministers in the imperial study room, where he shouted loudly to the brothers Wanyan Congyi and Wanyan Congxian. At this time, his mood was surprisingly calm. Then he slowly walked to the window and opened the window. A cold wind mixed with snowflakes instantly broke into the warm imperial study room.
