After the messenger went there, the senior generals from the city defense army came one by one.

Then one by one, I was frightened by the situation in the room and was greatly frightened.

They saw Yang Wanli lying in the bloody soul and the house of murdered documents, and thought they had entered some terrifying murder scene.

Zhang Shi didn't care about this and spoke to comfort them and told them not to move around.

He told them that Yang Wanli was a sinner, and the emperor had an edict to read, and took it out, grabbed it in his hand, and showed it to the generals who came in.

The senior generals and officials recognized the edict and really thought it was something that Emperor Zhao Xing asked Zhang Bai to do. They secretly speculated that Yang Wanli had committed a death sentence, so they needed to be secretly executed by the emperor.

This is obviously not something that can be promoted to the outside world. They could only look at Zhang Feng uneasy and secretly look at Yang Wanli's body.

After dozens of senior officers came, Zhang Bai raised an edict and asked the generals to decree.

The generals knelt down one after another and received the order uneasy.

Then they were extremely shocked to learn that a coup occurred in the palace, and the original emperor Zhao Xing was deposed by the Supreme Empress. The new emperor was Zhao Xing's third son, Zhao Dun.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he announced that Yang Wanli and other officials of the war faction were guilty of serious crimes of corruption and all of them were arrested and executed, and no one could be left alone.

As a war-holding official who held military power, Yang Wanli committed a serious crime and had to be arrested, but he refused to be arrested and was killed on the spot.

His family will also be sentenced to all guilty and imprisoned, waiting for execution, and no one will escape and deal with it.

Moreover, all the officials of the pro-war faction have committed crimes of rebellion and will be controlled and removed from their posts. The one who is in charge of military and political power is Shen Gai, Zhang Shi is the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, and Lu Yongyan is the deputy envoy of the city defense.

The new emperor ascended the throne and the officials changed their leadership, and the Southern Song court changed its strategic attitude.

Times have changed.

However, in the eyes of the officers, there is another picture - a coup.

Silently...there was a coup?

The emperor changed?

The senior generals and officials felt that the world was too crazy. They were a little restless and unacceptable, and felt that all this was coming too suddenly.

Zhang Shi keenly noticed their emotional changes and immediately announced another brand new order.

"Your Majesty issued an edict to stop the city defense preparations, accept the Ming Dynasty's ultimatum, and reach an agreement with the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible to end the war. Everyone, there is no need to fight this battle."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the senior generals were stunned. The original restlessness disappeared, the dissatisfaction in their hearts also disappeared, and they were all covered up by the matter of [No War].

No more war?

End the war?

No need to die?

The generals looked at Zhang Shi with some doubts.

Zhang Xiao issued an edict and laughed.

"I know, you are actually unwilling to fight this battle. The reason why you want to fight was because of the emperor's destiny, because you were forced by Yu Yunwen and Yang Wanli, but now they are either dead or prisoners, and they are no longer emperors.

They wanted to destroy the Yellow River embankment of Ming Dynasty. The matter was not done well, which made the founding country angry. The Ming army went south, dragged us into the water, and took us to die together. How innocent are we? Why should we die with them? Are you willing to die with them?"

Generals look at me, I look at you, no one stands up to express their opinions, but the expressions on their faces have betrayed their hearts.

"You all know the policy of Ming State. Once the city is broken, we will definitely die. The last chance that Ming State gave me before was to surrender voluntarily. Now, do you want to fight to the death and be confiscated by Ming State to destroy the family or survive?"

This choice is actually quite simple, there is nothing to say.

Gu Via

Everyone was all officers of the Song Dynasty. The officers of the Song Dynasty thrived under the education of Zhao Song’s family law. Everyone understood the principle that if you want to make money, you should not work hard, and you also knew how to live more comfortable than civil servants.

This answer does not seem to be worth tangling with.

Everyone really doesn't want to fight, they really don't want to fight with the Ming army, especially the emperor himself did something so unpleasant, but in the end they asked everyone to take the blame together.

They also had serious dissatisfaction with the emperor in their hearts, but they did not dare to reveal it because they were military generals.

But Chen should be a civil servant, and Zhang Feng is also a civil servant. This coup was led by both of them.

The coup led by civil servants has nothing to do with military generals and will not directly affect the future of military generals.

But now, it is time for everyone to choose to die or live, which will directly affect everyone's situation.

When the night was deep, the outstanding military generals of the Song Dynasty, who grew up vigorously under the education of Zhao Song's family law, made their own choices.

The entire Lin'an City Defense Forces implemented an order to the end in a very short period of time, stopped fighting, and negotiated peace with the Ming army, accepted all the conditions, and then everything was the same.

This is the order of the new emperor.

The army was taken over peacefully by the Lords and the Peaceful Sects, without bloodshed or sacrifice.

From this perspective, this coup can be regarded as a glorious revolution in the Song Dynasty.

Because this order is very in line with people's hearts.

The Lin'an City Defense Forces were extremely afraid of the Ming army and did not dare to fight with the Ming army at all. They did not want to fight this battle at all. They were forced to do nothing. Now that the superiors stopped fighting, they were too happy, so how could they make an objection?

However, some people died in this coup, but they were not soldiers.

For example, Chen Junqing, the Minister of War, was the former disciple of Zhang Jun, who had a very hard bone and a firm will, firmly resisted the Ming Dynasty and firmly safeguarded the decency and dignity of the Song Dynasty.

When the coupon troops broke into his home and asked him to surrender, Chen Junqing did not choose to surrender, but decided to resist. When the coup officer told him that the new emperor had ascended the throne and the deposed emperor Zhao Sheng had already surrendered, Chen Junqing was furious.

"Rebel! How dare you humiliate the Emperor of Song Dynasty! Come and die with me!!!"

Facing more than a hundred fully armed coup soldiers, Chen Junqing rushed up with a literati sword that had no lethality and launched a charge.

Faced with this kind of attack of death, the coup soldiers of course suppressed him without any effort, without any effort.

The sword in Chen Junqing's hand was knocked off, but he still tried to attack the soldiers with his hands and feet, and tore them with his teeth, and the faction was about to die with them.

Can this be tolerated?

The coup officer stabbed his chest with a knife.

Chen Junqing's mouth was covered in blood, and he vomited suddenly, then knelt on the ground, holding the knife from the coup officer's hand tightly with both hands.

Then he died.

After Chen Junqing's death, his two sons wanted to avenge him and were killed by the coup officer.

Chen Junqing's wife rushed up like a madman, and was killed by the coup officer with a knife.

The four most backbone people in the family died, and the remaining families did not dare to move, knelt on the ground and cried, enduring the atrocities of the coup soldiers.

That night, a raging fire broke out in the Chen Mansion.

Compared with Chen Junqing's fierce resistance, Wang Shipeng, the Minister of Works, was much calmer. When he learned that a coup had occurred in the palace, Zhao Sheng had been deposed, and Zhao Dun had ascended the throne and became emperor, he knew that the situation was hopeless and nothing could be saved.

So Wang Shipeng calmly asked the coup officer not to hurt his family. After obtaining permission, Wang Shipeng ordered his family to give up resistance, surrender, and not do stupid things.

Then he drew out his own sword and committed suicide by dying.

Wang Shipeng died alone in the Wang family, and none of the others died, but they just cried around Wang Shipeng's body.
