Chapter 1437: Xinchen Bridge Mutiny

Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, took over the souls of the soldiers and remained silent.

Subsequently.

The emperors left one after another.

Peace returned to the palace.

Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, saw his elder brother sitting quietly on the dragon throne, and he couldn't help but said with some worry:

"Brother, are you... okay? It's just a loss. We can fight again another day."

"You must not--"

Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, shook his head, and with a thought, he used the power of the destiny of the Song Dynasty to nourish the true spirits of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and said:
"Tingyi, I'm fine."

"This battle also made me see clearly the gap between the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. I never expected that the Tang Dynasty would be so powerful."

"If Emperor Taizong of Tang doesn't take action, Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang alone can stop me. The Song Dynasty deserves to lose."

He really had not expected that the Song Dynasty, which had once thought itself to be at its peak during the Spring and Autumn Period with its numerous strong generals and elite soldiers, would be so weak.

The spear struck by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, not only shattered the Taoist spirit of Emperor Taizu of Song, but also shattered his arrogance thoroughly.

Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, on the contrary, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that his elder brother would become decadent after this incident.

"Brother, the wealth of the Song Dynasty is indeed too thin, and those emperors are taking advantage of the situation to rob us!"

"Otherwise, the Song Dynasty can still hold out for a few more months, and there may be a chance of victory."

In the eyes of Emperor Taizong of Song, the Tang Dynasty was hateful and launched an attack on the Song Dynasty.

And those emperors are even more hateful!!!
One by one, they just took advantage of the situation to plunder the Song Dynasty.

Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, said slowly:
"Well, now that things have come to this, let's think about how to clean up this mess."

"Tingyi, pass the order and call a court meeting. What Emperor Wu of Wei said makes sense. The quality of the army is more important than its quantity."

"Two hundred thousand troops, hahahaha. In the past, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, also slept on firewood and tasted gall. Three thousand Yue soldiers could conquer Wu. I have two hundred thousand troops, why can't I destroy Tang!"

As Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's powerful words fell!
The energy and blood as hot as the scorching sun permeated the entire palace, causing the temperature to rise.

Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, bowed solemnly and said:

"I, your Majesty, am willing to help you work hard to bring about a great defeat of the Tang Dynasty and avenge our previous humiliation!!"

The Song Dynasty lost all face after this defeat, so he was naturally very upset.

And humiliation can only be washed away by paying with blood!

Immediately.

Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, walked out of the palace and issued an edict to all ministers of the Song Dynasty, convening a court meeting.

"call out"

"call out"

"call out"

Rays of immortal light either returned from the battlefield in the far north or flew out from cities in various places.

In less than an hour, the Song Dynasty Palace was already packed with people.

The ministers of the Taizu and Taizong dynasties all looked dejected, as if their courage and courage had been lost on the battlefield.

Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, and Song Gaozong Zhao Gou stood together, feeling both ashamed and helpless.

It's because the three of them have become a complete joke.

Emperor Gaozong of Song was better off. At least he had some skills and had even defeated Emperor Wen of Song and his two men, and demanded some ransom.

Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng and Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, father and son, felt a little uneasy.

To this day, the reputation of both father and son has completely disappeared.

Whether it was the government or the public, or all dynasties, they all ranked the father and son on par with Liu Chan... no, they were not even as good as Liu Chan.

After escaping from the predicament, Zhao Dezhao, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, stood there with a grim face. Perhaps no one present was more miserable than him.

As soon as the war started, they were trapped, and were only released just now. The generals of the three Shaoxing dynasties stood behind the young emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing, and when they looked at each other, they were all unexpectedly silent.

……

Just as the atmosphere in the palace was becoming increasingly heavy and eerie.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi walked into the palace.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin first announced to all the civil and military officials in the court that the Song Dynasty had been defeated and that there were four conditions proposed by Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Then, seeing that all the civil and military officials in the court were in a state of dismay, he consoled them:
"As the old saying goes, victory and defeat are common in the military. How can there be a general in this world who can win every battle?"

"One defeat is nothing. Once we have regrouped, we will definitely make the Tang Dynasty suffer!"

The words fell.

The Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Dezhao, gritted his teeth, buried the surging hatred deep in his heart, and said in a low voice:

"I am willing to... to go to Tang as a hostage."

"If your majesty attacks the Tang Dynasty someday, I beg you not to hesitate because of me."

"The Tang Dynasty wanted to use me as a hostage to make my father afraid, but I didn't know that I would rather die than become my father's weakness!"

Hearing this, Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, said with tears in his eyes:

"De Zhao, be careful when you go to the Tang Dynasty."

You know, this is his only son! The crown prince of the Song Dynasty!

Now that he has to go to Tang as a hostage, Emperor Taizu of Song feels heartbroken whenever he thinks about the temperament of Emperor Suzong of Tang and others.

I am afraid that when I lead my army to attack the Tang Dynasty, I will receive the news that my only son has committed suicide with his body full of arrows.

At this time.

Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, knew that he should be a villain for once, and said:
"Your Majesty, regarding the disbanding of the army, I think we should choose..."

Sudden.

A voice sounded in the palace:
"and many more."

All the civil and military officials in the court, as well as Emperor Taizu of Song and Emperor Taizong of Song, looked in the direction where the voice came from and found that Marquis Wen Lu Bu had stepped forward.

Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, recalled what Tingyi had just said and said:
"Fengxian, do you want to talk about the imperial edict?"

"I have checked and found that the imperial edict was forged by someone from another dynasty. When I find the mastermind behind it, I will give you an explanation."

Facing Song Taizu's explanation and comfort, Wenhou Lu Bu remained calm and said loudly:

"Not only this matter, but also other matters. Shouldn't Your Majesty give me an explanation?"

"If I remember correctly, the root cause of this war was that the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty used conspiracy and trickery to seize the most precious treasure of the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and even wanted to kill him. That's why the Song Dynasty suffered this disaster."

"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield, and countless civilians died as a result of the impact. How can we just say victory and defeat are common in the military and then just brush it off?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, glanced behind Wenhou Lu Bu and saw that more than a hundred generals from three dynasties under the command of Emperor Shao of Song suddenly stood up.

I couldn't help but feel a little bit of a shadow in my heart, and asked:

"Then I wonder how Fengxian wants me to give you an explanation?"

While speaking, Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, glanced at Emperor Shao of Song, Zhao Bing, who seemed to have no idea what had happened.

When Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, saw this scene, he looked at Wenhou Lu Bu and others with a cold gaze.

The warning and murderous intent in his eyes were evident.

Wenhou Lu Bu was not afraid at all and said seriously:

"The Song Dynasty was so great, with a vast territory that was no less than that of the Tang Dynasty, but this time it was almost crushed, all because of the emperor's incompetence and the exhaustion of the army!"

"Your servant, Lu Bu, begs the Emperor Taizu to give up his throne for the safety of the people of the Song Dynasty!"
