And twenty or thirty descendants.
These people usually live in Luoyang.
Han Shizhong led his troops there.
They all fled as fast as they could.
Besides Kaifeng and Luoyang
Daming and Shangqiu were also places where members of the imperial clan lived in concentrated communities.
Each of the four cities also had a Zongzheng (宗正, a high-ranking official in charge of the imperial clan).
Zhao Zhongshi was able to leave his mark on history.
It was because he had been publicly elected as the new emperor.
And he also controlled the army.
However, he sternly refused to become emperor.
In addition, Lu You's wife, Tang Wan,
She remarried to his son.
"What are Prefect Zong's plans?" Zhao Zhongshi asked.
Zong Ze watched the Jin soldiers depart into the distance and muttered to himself,
"The capital has fallen into the hands of the holy emperor, and we do not know where to go or what to do."
Zhao Zhongshi said, "The retired emperor is still in the southeast."
Zong Ze's facial muscles twitched: "He has already abdicated,"
"It would be better to stop governing the country."
"Let me obey his orders,"
"It would be better to surrender the city to the traitor Zhao."
"Why don't you, brother, ascend the throne in Hebei?"
Zhao Zhongli, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up.
Zhao Zhongshi waved his hands repeatedly.
“There is a true God in this world, and I am not that person.”
A group of members of the royal family began to discuss...
Who should ascend the throne and become emperor?
As a result, no one was willing to take on this hot potato.
Zong Ze was at a loss.
They wanted to voluntarily submit to the Zhao family.
But I also feel that doing so is immoral.
That afternoon, a troop of light cavalry galloped to the city walls.
"By order of the Grand Marshal, Zong Ze, former Prefect of Cizhou in the Song Dynasty,"
"Temporarily appointed as the General Administrator of all regions in Hebei, commanding troops from all sides..."
After hesitating for a long time, Zong Ze said, "Open the city gates."
.....
In Xingzhou, the Jin army from the east and west joined forces.
Upon meeting, Wanyan Zongwang immediately questioned...
"I've been writing letters urging you to hurry up and head south, why don't you do it quickly?"
Wanyan Zonghan said, "Going south doesn't necessarily mean we can capture Kaifeng."
"Staying in Hebei would allow them to plunder even more prefectures and counties."
"The Song officials here are terrified."
"Either abandon the city and flee, or surrender."
"A few hundred people can conquer a city."
"I dispatched my troops to capture the city,"
"You don't even have to lift a finger,"
"They only ordered officials to plunder grain, and a total of more than 300,000 shi of grain was collected from various cities."
"More than 300,000 shi of grain? That's excellent!"
Wanyan Zongwang was overjoyed.
What he lacks most right now is food and supplies.
Wanyan Zonghan asked, "I heard that the Zhao traitor has captured Kaifeng?"
Wanyan Zongwang nodded: "Zhao's army is quite formidable."
"He ate a thousand of the guards."
Wanyan Zonghan's expression immediately turned serious.
"They could annihilate a thousand escort troops."
"Indeed, he should not be underestimated. We cannot treat Zhao the traitor as if he were the emperor of the Liao or Song dynasties."
"I plan to establish a separate ruler in Hebei, a Zhao-surname emperor, to rule the Han people,"
Wanyan Zongwang said,
"But the guy surnamed Zhao ran too fast,"
"Send five thousand light cavalry to Daming Prefecture,"
"Not a single member of the Zhao Song imperial family was captured."
Daming Prefecture is located right next to the Yellow River.
It has been rampant for the past few years.
The Yongji Canal is also frequently silted up.
Whether on horseback or by boat, the journey is difficult.
The Jin cavalry had just crossed the Yellow River.
Upon hearing the news, the members of the imperial family of Daming Prefecture fled.
They fled all the way to Liaocheng.
Wanyan Zonghan laughed and said, "But I have members of the imperial clan under my control."
"They were captured in Baoding,"
There were at least twenty or thirty people.
The Baozhou clan were descendants of Zhao Kuangyin's cousins.
They have long been marginalized.
They couldn't even get an official title.
It was after Emperor Huizong of Song ascended the throne,
Zhao from Baozhou was then reinstated to a nominal position.
"Establishing a new ruler is a major event,"
"We must go back and ask the emperor for a decision."
Wanyan Zongwang was worried that the puppet emperor would be controlled by Wanyan Zonghan.
Sure enough, Wanyan Zonghan said,
"Just a Han Chinese fake emperor,"
"I can make the decision,"
"There's no need to disturb His Majesty."
Wanyan Zongwang did not speak again.
Wanyan Zonghan continued, "I plan to install a new emperor in Dingzhou."
"The main force of the Western Route Army also remained in Dingzhou,"
"Be prepared for that traitor Zhao to attack at any time."
"Don't the soldiers miss their homes?" Wanyan Zongwang asked.
“The Han lands are prosperous, they won’t miss home,” Wanyan Zonghan said.
The two appear to be chatting.
They were actually exchanging words the whole time.
Wanyan Zonghan has completely abandoned Wu Qimai.
The matter of installing a puppet emperor is such a big deal.
They didn't even consult with the Jin emperor.
Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan wanted to leave his elite troops in Dingzhou.
Meanwhile, the Jin army withdrew from the camp.
Wanyan Zongwang's entire army returned to the Jin state.
Wanyan Zonghan, however, led over ten thousand elite troops to remain in Dingzhou.
Wanyan Xiyin, who created the Jurchen script,
He also stayed in Dingzhou to oversee the overall situation.
He also gave preferential treatment and promoted former officials of the Song Dynasty.
Chapter 1632 Hejian Prefecture
“The royal family of Baozhou has a thin bloodline; if they were to become emperor, it would be difficult to gain the support of the people.”
Huang Qianshan reminded him.
Wanyan Xiyin replied, "As long as they are descendants of the Zhao family, that's fine."
"It's better than establishing a surname outside the family."
Huang Qianshan then suggested, "If we support a new emperor,"
"It would be best if the capital were truly fixed."
"That place is better than Dingzhou,"
"It can be connected to Hedong Road via Jingxing."
"That makes sense."
Wanyan Xiyin humbly accepted the offer.
Wanyan Xiyin highly admired the Han Chinese culture and system.
Another timeline conquers Tokyo.
Other Jin generals went to plunder and loot.
This person alone devoted himself to searching for books and classics.
Wanyan Xiyin also spearheaded the complete Sinicization of the Jin Dynasty.
That month, a member of the Baozhou imperial clan named Zhao Guangde...
He was made a puppet emperor by the Jurchens in Zhengding.
