Zhao Kai spoke with several of his personal guards.

But the two guards had nothing more to say than this.

I had nothing else to say to him.

While Zhao Kai was struggling,

Seeing Zhao Yuan and Yan Qing approaching,

"I am here,"

"Make them let go quickly."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Are you Prince Yun, Zhao Kai?"

Zhao Kai was astonished that Zhao Yuan dared to address him by his name directly.

He was taken aback and looked at Zhao Yuan with a puzzled expression.

"It is indeed I, but you look unfamiliar,"

"He's not a general in the Imperial Guard, is he?"

Zhao Yuan also looked at Zhao Kai with curiosity for a while.

He bears a striking resemblance to Emperor Huizong of Song (Zhao Ji).

Deserving of praise,

He also possesses a certain refined and scholarly air.

"I will take you to see your father, the Emperor,"

"Then you'll know what kind of person I am."

"Let him go!"

The two guards received Zhao Yuan's instructions.

Only then did he release Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai saw that Zhao Yuan showed him no respect whatsoever.

I'm also very curious.

He forgot to ask Zhao Yuan to deal with the two soldiers who had been disrespectful to him.

He stretched his arms, which were sore from being twisted by the two guards.

They followed Zhao Yuan toward the Chuigong Hall.

Entering the Chuigong Hall,

Seeing Zhao Ji standing there looking haggard,

He couldn't help but run over.

"The affairs of state are urgent, and I have arrived late."

"I beg Father Emperor to punish me."

Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji) observed that his most beloved son seemed unaware of the situation.

He trembled involuntarily as he spoke.

"It's gone, it's gone,"

"I will no longer need to handle state affairs."

Zhao Kai saw that Zhao Ji was distraught.

It looked like it was about to collapse.

He then wanted to step forward and help Zhao Ji up.

They were still a few steps apart.

Wu Song, who was monitoring Zhao Ji, shouted, "Stop!"

Zhao Kai has done it again today.

I was stopped by people again and again.

He also got angry.

Looking at Wu Song, he said, "How dare you!"

Wu Song heard that it was the son of that tyrannical emperor, Zhao Ji.

I didn't have a good impression of them from the start.

Hearing Zhao Kai's rebuke,

A wave of the hand and a slap is delivered.

Zhao Kai was a master of literature and calligraphy.

But his martial arts skills were far inferior.

He hid for a while,

He didn't dodge it.

He was immediately slapped to the ground.

Wu Song showed no mercy in this slap.

A crisp sound,

Zhao Kai's two teeth flew into the air.

Zhao Kai covered his mouth and got up.

He didn't even bother to ask the Emperor for permission.

He immediately shouted outside the hall, "Someone come here!"

Seeing Zhao Kai's fate, Emperor Huizong of Song...

It's heartbreaking.

But there was nothing that could be done.

They were also afraid that Zhao Kai would suffer again.

"Kai'er, the palace has been taken over by the Liangshan army."

Zhao Kai instinctively blurted out, "The Liangshan bandits?"

"Snapped!"

Another slap.

Zhao Kai fell to the ground again.

He was slapped down twice.

Zhao Kai also felt a little dizzy and lightheaded.

He couldn't get up right away.

Zhao Kai lay on the ground.

Seeing the officials watching the spectacle with amusement...

Then I remembered when he came in...

These people did not fawn over him as usual.

Judging from Wu Song's second reaction,

They must be the "bandits of Liangshan" he was referring to.

Chapter 1715 Delivered to the Door

Zhao Kai also understood his current situation.

He obediently got up.

Seeing that Zhao Yuan, who had led him in, had already sat down on the dragon throne,

I couldn't help but feel puzzled again.

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "You could have enjoyed a carefree day outside the palace."

"I never expected you to come to my doorstep like this."

"Don't worry, once my army enters the city,"

"Your brothers will come and keep you company."

Zhao Ji also mustered his courage and said,

"I wonder how Your Majesty intends to deal with the members of my Zhao family?"

Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Ji and said, "What do you think?"

Zhao Ji shamelessly said,

"Throughout history, benevolent rulers have always granted fiefs to rulers who had conquered their kingdoms."

"After Emperor Gong of Zhou abdicated in favor of Emperor Taizu of our dynasty,"

"Emperor Taizu also enfeoffed him as the Prince of Zheng."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "So you're willing to abdicate?"

"As long as you don't kill my Zhao family,"

"I am willing to abdicate."

Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Ji and said, "You are such a foolish ruler, and our Great Liang must proclaim this to the world."

"Remove your throne, rather than accept your abdication."

"Perhaps publicly executing you, this tyrant, would win you more popular support?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji's expression changed.

"The Great Liang dynasty controlled Tokyo,"

"Most of the prefectures and cities in this land are still under the control of officials of my Song Dynasty,"

"If I were to abdicate in your favor, many prefectures would likely submit to the Great Liang."

Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji) struggled with this dilemma for a long time.

But I've figured it out.

His princes are all in Tokyo.

After Liangshan captured Tokyo,

I'm afraid none of them will escape.

Although most of the country was still under the control of Song Dynasty officials

But without the royal call to arms...

It's probably a disorganized mess.

Moreover, there were also four others vying for it: Chao Gai, Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing.

It seems that the Zhao family's empire is about to come to an end.

Besides, even if someone in the Zhao family were capable of pacifying the world,

He'll probably be dead by then.

Rather than that,

It's better to save your own life first.

Zhao Yuan was somewhat tempted by what he heard.

However, he wondered,
