After receiving the order, Shen Changsheng called two shield soldiers, took two long shields for infantry, protected himself and headed towards Shunyu Gate.
Probably because he knew that he was guilty, Du Chong did not dare to go out of Shunyumen City. He just asked someone to open the door a crack, and he stood behind the door crack. He peeked his head from time to time, and immediately shrank behind the door panel after just one glance. , for fear of being shot to death by the Song Army outside with a divine arm bow.
Seeing two shields protecting a military attache approaching, Du Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief... They had sent someone to negotiate. If they could negotiate, they would have a chance to save their lives.
Shen Changsheng didn't know that the Daming Mansion Palace was actually an empty city, so he was cautious and didn't dare to go any further when he was twenty steps away from the Shunyu Gate gate.
"Stop, stop...it's over here!" Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Changsheng quickly ordered the two shield-holders to put down their shields and protect themselves, and then opened his throat and shouted He asked, "Is this the Governor of Du Gongmei and Du on the other side?"
"Exactly!" Du Chong asked, "Don't you know the general's surname?"
"The lower official is Xuande Lang, who directs the Baowen Pavilion and is personally conducting military campaigns and military counselors, Shen Changsheng." Shen Changsheng replied, "I am here to negotiate with Prefect Shen on the orders of Commander Zhao."
After hearing Shen Changsheng's self-application for official position, Du Chong felt better. Because Shen Changsheng’s official position is not small!
Xuandelang was a court official of the seventh rank, and he also brought with him the post of Zhige. He was sent as a marching counselor to personally conduct the camp... This "seven-rank sesame official" was a concept of the Ming and Qing Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the rank of Zhengqi was A high-quality court official is definitely worthy of being a high-ranking official.
And Shen Changsheng looks quite young. Based on Du Chong's experience, he could be such a high-ranking official at this age, and he could also be dispatched as a counselor for marching camps and marches. Either he has a huge backer in the court, or he must be a confidant of the emperor!
"It turns out to be Counselor Shen," Du Chong quickly leaned out half of his body from the crack in the door, cupped his hands and said, "Disrespect, disrespect!"
He had just regarded Shen Changsheng as a military attache, which was indeed a bit rude.
Shen Changsheng smiled and said: "Easy to say, easy to say." He raised his eyes and looked at the Shunyu Gate Tower. It was still empty. He didn't know where the elite soldiers of the Golden Thief were ambushing?
Thinking of this, he smiled and asked, "Did Governor Du come to negotiate on the orders of Marshal Xie Ye of the Jin Kingdom?"
"No, no..." Du Chong said, "Marshal Du has already left Damingfu City."
What? Wanyan Xie also ran away?
Shen Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Then who is calling the shots in the Daming Mansion Palace now?"
"Xiaguan and Wanyan Yan, the twelfth princess of the Kingdom of Jin, made the decision together."
"Twelve Princess Wanyanyan?"
Du Chong raised his hand and pointed upward, "The person in green clothes above the city gate is Wan Yanyan."
"Oh..." Shen Changsheng said in his heart: It turns out that the "enemy situation" that the officials observed with a telescope for a quarter of an hour was Wanyan Yan!
This Wanyanyan was so valued by the officials, she must be a heinous witch. She had to be tied up and presented to the officials, who would personally torture her and then punish her!
"This Wanyanyan must be a witch, right?" Shen Changsheng said with a straight face, already making accusations against Wanyanyan.
"No, no," Du Chong hurriedly waved his hand, "This girl is only seventeen years old this year. She is innocent, beautiful, and has a simple personality. Moreover, she is still in a boudoir. She is definitely not a witch. Wu Qimai dotes on this daughter very much, so he brought her with him. She marched south. Because some of the harem beauties bought by Wu Beggar stayed in the Daming Palace, so the twelve princesses were left to take care of them..."
"What? Are there still beauties from the harem that Wu begged to buy?" Shen Changsheng suddenly became more energetic.
The eldest daughter Wu Beggar bought must be dedicated to the official family, but Shen Changsheng, as a courtier, was very happy to do the arduous task of buying Wu Beggar a cuckold.
As a minister, you have to share your worries for the king at such a critical moment!
"There are not only the women Wu begged for," Du Chong was able to switch to pimping, "but there were also Xiye, Yanmu, Nianhan, Wushu and other concubines of the Jin Kingdom, a total of seventy or eighty people, all of whom were originally Among them are the noble ladies of the Liao Kingdom, and among them is Yelu Yanxi’s daughter, Princess Yu Liyan of the Shu Kingdom… She is a rare beauty!”
"And Yelu Yanxi's daughter!" Shen Changsheng almost couldn't stop laughing, "Prefect Du... Is Wanyanyan willing to surrender? Are there any conditions she has?"
Yelu Yanxi's daughter is more valuable to Zhao Kai than the daughter Wu begged to buy!
Because the Liao Dynasty has a longer history than the Song Dynasty, and the two countries have been brothers since the Chanyuan Alliance. Although there was no marriage, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty still recognized the Liao Kingdom as a "superior state" on the same day as the Song Dynasty.
When Yelu Yanxi was defeated and about to die, Zhao Ji wanted to recruit Yanxi to surrender in the name of "imperial emperor" and the treatment of a prince. If Yanxi had surrendered at that time, he would have become a king with a different surname in the Song Dynasty. Of course, Yu Liyan would be the marriage partner of the prince of the Song Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with entering the palace as a concubine.
In addition, as far as Shen Changsheng knew, Yanxi's sons were all gone! Yu Liyan is the eldest daughter of Yanxi, and she was officially canonized as a princess of Shu... How valuable is this!
Du Chong said with a smile: "Wanyanyan has been in chaos for a long time. She has no opinion and it is all up to the lower official to make the decision..." As he spoke, his brows tightened, "It's just that the lower official was confused for a moment. ....."
"Easy to say, easy to say, hehehe..." Shen Changsheng said with a smile, "A princess from the Jin Kingdom and a princess from the Liao Kingdom are presented to the official family together. What a credit that is! What other crime is there?" Can’t redeem it? Governor Shen, can Wanyan Yan really listen to you?”
"That's natural," Du Chong said with a smile, "I'll leave it to the official."
Shen Changsheng smiled and walked out from behind the shield. He rushed through the crack in the door and waved to Du Chong: "Prefect Du, come out quickly...Follow me to see Zhao Dianshuai. You don't have to be afraid of anything. We have Jin and Liao." Princess of the country, what are you worried about? If Cai Jing had this ability, he might become the husband-in-law now! Besides, you have the princesses of Jin and Liao in your hands, and they are all dedicated to the official family. What about others? Dare to get involved? So Zhao Dianshuai can't touch you no matter what!"
Du Chong was right!
He had Yu Liyan and Wanyan Yan in his hands, how could Zhao Bupo dare to kill him? By killing him, did Zhao Bupo want to cheat on the two foreign princesses?
There is no need to have real evidence for this matter, but a rumor can kill Zhao Bupo!
Therefore, Zhao Bupo will definitely let Du Chong continue to take care of Yan Yan and Yelu Yuliyan until the two princesses are sent to the Kaifeng Palace.
Thinking of this, Du Chong finally stepped out of Shunyu Gate, but he did not follow Shen Changsheng immediately. Instead, he cupped his hands with Wanyan Yan on the tower and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I will go and tell Commander Zhao Dian that I will keep my peace." You are safe.”
Wanyan Yan on the tower immediately responded: "Everything is decided by Mr. Du."
Du Chong was completely relieved now, so he followed Shen Changsheng on to the dead end.
When he followed Shen Changsheng and walked behind a row of infantry shields in the Song army's formation, Zhao Kai was still looking around with a telescope!
Now he saw another beautiful woman, she was also a Northland woman with fair skin, beautiful appearance, tall figure, and noble temperament, but her figure was obviously not as protruding as Wanyanyan...
"Commander, Du Chong has brought us!"
At this time, Shen Changsheng's voice came.
Zhao Kai didn't even put down his telescope, he just said casually: "Come here, pull Du Chong away and kill him!"
ah? Is this going to be beheaded? Du Chong was so shocked that he was speechless after hearing this! Isn't this Zhao Bupo too cruel? Just open your mouth and kill someone?
"Here!"
Three Zhao Kai's soldiers responded and rushed to capture Du Chong. Du Chong turned around and wanted to run away, but Shen Changsheng, who was beside him, grabbed him and said loudly: "Prefect Du, don't run away. The commander-in-chief doesn't know that you have the 12th Princess of Jin and the Princess of Shu from Liao to sacrifice." !”
Du Chong thought it was right when he heard it, so he stopped running away - of course, he couldn't run away either. He was in Zhao Kai's army now, so how could he run away?
If he didn't run away, of course he would have to give one arm to each of Zhao Kai's soldiers to catch him. The other person, who was probably responsible for cutting people, had already pulled out the shining hand knife and waved it in front of Du Chong's eyes. He said to Du Chong in a comforting tone: "You traitor, don't panic. The Sa family's knife is sharp. Keep it safe." Cutting off the head with one knife won’t hurt much.”
Hearing these words made Du Chong break out in cold sweat!
At this time Shen Changsheng was reporting again, "Commander of the Palace, according to Du Chong, Wan Yanxie has also escaped, leaving only Wan Yanyan, the twelfth daughter bought by Wu, and his inseparable concubine, the former Liao Kingdom Princess Yu Liyan, as well as dozens of other concubines of Wanyan Wu Qingmai, Wanyan Xieye and others, stayed in the palace and could not escape. He and these women, now headed by Wanyan Yan, all surrendered. .”
Zhao Kai nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Then kill this Du Chong quickly!"
Still want to behead?
Du Chongke was so anxious that he shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute... The twelfth princess of the Jin Kingdom will listen to me. I have to send her to see the official in person!"
"Official family?" Zhao Kai laughed loudly and looked at Du Chong, "Du Guangmei, you don't recognize me? I am Zhao Kai!"
Only then did Du Chong take a closer look. He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. Isn't this Zhao Kai! When he was an official in Kaifeng Mansion, he could often see Zhao Kai and of course he recognized him.
I just can't believe it, but the officials of the Song Dynasty actually led the army to Daming in person, and even went to the front line in person!
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Du Guangmei, I am just supervising the army in the name of Zhao Bupo... Zhao Bupo is me!"
As he spoke, he waved to the three soldiers, "Pull him out...pull him outside Shunyu Gate and kill him!"
Du Chong was really anxious now, and shouted loudly: "The officials have mercy on me, the officials have mercy on me, I don't dare to surrender to the enemy anymore, I was confused for a moment, I..."
The mouth was gagged, and then he was dragged out whining.
Zhao Kai then said to Shen Changsheng: "Changsheng, you will be the supervisor. After you kill Du Chong, go and persuade him to surrender! Tell Wanyanyan and Yu Liyan on the tower that Zhao Bupo is Zhao Kai! They are now Then you can leave the city and surrender to me!"
