Chapter 227
Sure enough, as Song Yucheng expected, two days later, Lin'an sent urgent news that the emperor had passed away and a new emperor had ascended the throne.

The choice of the new emperor also surprised everyone. It turned out to be Song Yuhong, the original An Guogong and the son of King Yi.

At the beginning, Song Yuhong and Shi Mingyuan used pills to poison the emperor to assassinate the emperor, and secretly controlled the government. Song Yucheng exposed the conspiracy and failed, and all the party members were captured and thrown into prison.

Originally, this was already a fatal situation, and there was no chance to turn things around.

But Shi Mingyuan only went to see the emperor once, and he was so stunned that the emperor and the prince turned against each other. The prince Song Yucheng left Lin'an in a rage, which also gave Song Yuhong and others a glimmer of life.

Song Yuhong was not executed, but was imprisoned as the son of King Yi, and most of the people involved were just ransacked and exiled.

When the emperor died, the courtiers had no choice but to choose a suitable heir from the clan and royal relatives.

Regarding this candidate, there are also disputes, and each has its own position and persistence.

But no one expected that Song Yuhong's father secretly contacted many people at this time, Xu Yizhongli, took Song Yuhong out, and directly recommended Song Yuhong to the position.

Originally, Song Yucheng was still hesitating about how to deal with the edict of passing on the throne, but now there is no need to hesitate. Anyone in Southern Zhao can succeed to the throne, except Song Yuhong.

If it's a good idea to change to someone else, maybe the North and the South can join forces with the outside world.

But it happened to be Song Yuhong, the mortal enemy of the Bai family, so there was nothing to say, just lead the troops to fight there, just to end the grievances between the two families.

Therefore, on February 26, the first year of Yongning, Yongning empress Bai Mengjin and regent Song Yucheng led 20 troops, heading south by land and water.

By land, go to Anfeng Army, Luzhou, and Jiankang to go straight to Lin'an.

The 20 army has fully recovered after several months of rest and reorganization. The soldiers in the front are fierce and unstoppable. When the defenders of Anfeng Army, Luzhou and other places saw such power, they surrendered immediately.

The army was like a broken bamboo, and it went straight to the outside of Lin'an City.

The waterway departs from Haizhou and goes south along the coast, reaching Hangzhou Bay.

Hundreds of new warships, all equipped with the latest artillery, gathered at the mouth of the Qiantang River like this. The scene was absolutely shocking.

Song Yuhong, who had just been enthroned for less than half a month, was about to face such a situation, and he wanted to cry without tears.

"Song Yucheng, since you have entered the Bai family and become the son-in-law of the Emperor Yongning, why do you need to come back to the muddy water?
You and I separate the north and the south, isn't it good to live in peace?Why do you still have to press hard?
At the beginning you gave up the position of prince and left, and now you come back to fight for power and profit, don't you think that the behavior of a villain like you is too despicable? "

Song Yuhong stood on the tower of Yuhang Gate, looking at the endless black soldiers and horses to the north, he felt his legs tremble.

But in order to maintain the emperor's face, he had to cheer himself up. He couldn't lose face in front of civil and military officials.

"Song Yuhong, needless to say high-sounding words, everyone knows who you are.

You were the one who colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, you were the one who joined forces with the Jurchens to secretly murder the Bai family, and you were the one who colluded with the rebels to poison and assassinate the officials. You have done so many outrageous things, and you want to succeed to the throne?dream you.

Today, I will remove you, a rebellious and unscrupulous person, for the officials. "Song Yucheng shouted on horseback at the foot of the city.

"There are also those bastards behind you who only care about their own self-interest and ignore the government's last wishes. A group of selfish things will let you know the consequences today."

Song Yuchen raised his hand and pointed at the people beside Song Yuhong. Those old antiques were the worst things, so don't let anyone run away this time, let them do it together.

"Song Yucheng, if you don't want to be the prince of Zhao, you have to be a regent for others. You are the one who has forgotten the ancestors and rebelled. Do you still have the face to come back?
Today you rely on the power of the Bai family to come back to persecute the Song family court, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Song family? "

On the city wall, Song Yuhong's father, who is also the current Dazong Zhengling of the Zongzheng Mansion, pointed at Song Yucheng and cursed.

"The ancestors of the Song family? If the ancestors of the Song family really have spirits, the first ones to blame are you unworthy descendants, right?
It's not that you people are greedy for pleasure and incompetent, how could Dazhao Jiangshan fall into the hands of Jurchen?

The ancestral temple and imperial mausoleum were destroyed, and the heroic spirits of the ancestors were in trouble, but each of you was drunk and dreamed of death in the south of the Yangtze River. Now you still have the face to blame others? "

Bai Mengjin was not happy when she heard what was said on the tower. He was her man, how could he let others talk nonsense and slander him?

"Song Yucheng led the troops to expel the Jurchen Tartars, restore the mountains and rivers of our Han family, help the country, and relieve the people from the fire and water. May I ask which one can not be sorry for your ancestors of the Song family?
Fortunately, your Song family still has a descendant like him, if not, the ancestors of the Song family will be shamed to the ground and never rest in peace. "

Bai Mengjin's words were sharp, without giving in, she silenced the group of people on the tower.

"Liulang, don't talk nonsense with them, show the late emperor's imperial edict and jade seal, and let those who are blind see who is wronging the ancestors, who is treasonous?
The late emperor left a decree ordering you to succeed him. These people disregarded the decree of the late emperor and set up a new monarch. They clearly have evil intentions and want to seize the great Zhao Jiangshan.

If such people are not punished, they will truly be ashamed of the late emperor and ashamed of your ancestors of the Song family. "Bai Mengjin didn't bother to quarrel with those people anymore, so she showed the imperial edict and read it aloud.

Song Yuhong on the city tower immediately panicked when he heard it. His succession to the throne is not justified. If the people know the content of the edict, can he continue to be the emperor?
"What are you waiting for, let the arrows go, don't listen to that witch, she is used to bewitching people with her words, so don't listen to her. Quick, let the arrows go."

Song Yuhong yelled like he had seen a ghost.

The soldiers behind Song Yuhong hesitated slightly when they heard this.

The current situation is too obvious. The Northern Zhao army is besieging Lin'an City with 20 troops. This is a world-renowned elite army. Who can beat it?

What other dark things are said to be magical weapons bestowed by the gods, as long as they are fired, let alone the city walls, even Lin'an City can be blown into ruins, who is not afraid?
But no matter how afraid they were, they had to obey orders, so a group of soldiers bent their bows and set arrows hesitantly, and shot towards Song Yucheng and his wife at the bottom of the city.

At this time, the shield players in the Bai family's army had already stepped forward to form an formation, protecting Bai Mengjin and Song Yucheng and his wife and withdrawing them.

There was an order from the other side, and the artillery fired in unison. After the thunderous bang, there was a violent impact that shook the sky and the earth.

Song Yuhong and a group of officials on the city wall were staggered by the impact, and others were hit by debris and died on the spot.

"The officials retreat quickly, this place is too dangerous." A guard came over and helped Song Yuhong run down.

The other officials who were still alive were also terrified. They only hated their parents for losing two legs, so they just ran away like this.

"Hold on, keep Lin'an City no matter what." Before leaving, Song Yuhong shouted loudly.
