155. Chapter 155(2/2)
Feng Wei, who personally directed the defense of Jiankang, was captured, and several military officers who resisted tenaciously were killed. In just half a day, Rong Kang's army tore open the positions set up by a group of guards who had no fighting will.
Faced with the invaders who were rushing like a tide, Feng Wei had no other way except to cry.
All the city gates were blocked, and Jiankang became a besieged city.
Rong Kang rode his horse, surrounded by the iron-armored army behind him, and under the fearful eyes of the Jiankang people beside the road, he roared into the city and broke straight into the palace.
The Empress Dowager of Dayu, with the emperor, royal family, gentry, and the group of officials who were tragic, was intercepted by Rongkang soldiers chasing behind him from the escape path.
These noble people who were once high and raised by the ointment and Jinxiu from their birth date were like a group of refugees. They could only walk and were driven back to Jiankang City by soldiers holding swords and halberds, like wolves and tigers around them.
That day, the late autumn sky above Jiankang City was as blue as washing, and the wild geese returned north.
The autumn sky in the south is rare to have a hint of coolness and transparency of the north.
Rong Kang sat high on the treasure chair in the Jiankang Palace Hall, touching the dragon head of a golden dragon on the armrest. Seeing the group of people driven into the hall by soldiers, he stood up and got off the throne, walked towards everyone, and threw a head of blood-dried and flesh-like flesh onto the smooth ground of the hall, saying, "I am just following the order of the Queen Mother to send the dog to the capital as a tribute. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother misunderstood me deeply and put such a battle. I had to offend me."
The owner of the head on the ground was the General Siege who was sent to Gao Yin to send a message many days ago.
There was a sensation sound in the hall, and many people couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so they covered their faces with their sleeves.
Gao Yongrong's face was pale, and he tightly grabbed the hand of the terrified young emperor who was hiding behind him, and shouted loudly: "Rongkang! Your Majesty Dayu is the destiny of heaven! I trust you so much, but you have revenge you, and you have committed evil deeds that are worse than beasts! Are you not afraid of being punished by God?"
Rong Kang laughed instead of angry. He clapped his hands, and everyone heard a sound of footsteps outside the hall. He turned his head and saw Feng Wei, Liu Hui, and the officials who had followed Liu Hui and scolded Rong Kang were all pushed into the hall by tied up.
After the soldier let go, Feng Wei's eyes closed and motionless. Liu Hui's face looked like earth, and she stood there trembling and was about to faint. The rest of the people were all in a mess. It was only ten days before, and they seemed to have changed. There was no other person on her body, as if she was light fur and red shoes, and she was arrogant and wealthy?
Rong Kang ordered people to loosen their ties.
Everyone looked at him, shocked and suspicious, wondering what his intention was.
Rong Kang walked to Gao Yongrong, stared at the young emperor beside Gao Yongrong, knelt down, and said seriously: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I have just said that my only purpose in this trip is to send the dog to the capital. Everything is a misunderstanding. Now the misunderstanding is resolved. I beg the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to return to the throne. The ministers will take you all and give your respects to Your Majesty."
There was a silence in the hall.
Everyone looked at the soldiers standing around with bright iron armor and holding bright blood-stained swords and halberds, and no one dared to move.
Gao Yongrong also stood stiffly, holding the little emperor behind him, motionless.
Rong Kang's eyes swept across the faces of the crowd in turn, and gradually turned gloomy. Suddenly, he drew his sword and stabbed into the chest of a minister beside him. In the screams of the man, he shouted sternly: "All of you are deaf? I didn't hear what I said? If you don't obey your order, kill me!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers around him then let out a roar, and the sound echoed in the corner of the hall, making a buzzing sound.
Everyone was trembling.
Some fell to the ground on the spot, and some ran towards the place where they were standing in the past. More people, like headless flies, ran around in the hall with white faces, pushing each other, competing for their own position, fearing that they would be too late and summoned to kill themselves.
After a chaotic and farceful movement, even Feng Wei, who had been keeping his eyes closed, was pushed by his colleagues who were afraid of being implicated by him, and pushed to the top of the civil servants.
Amid the unscrupulous ridicule from Rongkang and his soldiers, the civil and military officials of the Southern Dynasties finally took their place. In the end, only Gao Yongrong was still holding the little emperor, and the two stood in the center of the hall.
"Empress Dowager, everyone is in place, just waiting for the Empress Dowager and His Majesty."
Rong Kang came to her with a smile, and seemed to be respectful.
