Chapter 125 Chapter 25: The End of the Dynasty

Aizong fled Bianjing, leaving Bianjing to Cui Li, an unreliable person.Cui Li disregarded the safety of the country for his own benefit, killed the prime minister, and established a new monarch. What kind of medicine is sold in Cui Li's gourd?What kind of terrible fate awaits the people of Bianjing and the royal family in the hands of such a person? As soon as King Liang became emperor, Cui Li put him under house arrest.That's enough, your task is completed, you have become the emperor, and the government will follow my orders.Cui Li wants to be an official. It turned out that the official did not achieve the third rank, but now he directly becomes the first rank. He calls himself Taishi, Shang Shuling, Marshal Du, and King Zheng.Cui Li told the common people, do you want to live?I will show you a clear way, take out all the treasures of your family, and dedicate the beauties to the Mongolian soldiers, and the Mongolian soldiers will naturally retreat.When the common people hear it, what is your idea?We resisted the Mongolian soldiers desperately, didn't we just want to keep our family property, wives and daughters?When the common people refused to do it, Cui Li ordered the soldiers to go down and rob.He said that he had already discussed with the Mongols, and the Mongols agreed with him to be the commander of the Kingdom of Jin. He was ordered by the Great Khan of Mongolia to search for gold and silver treasures from house to house, and sent beautiful women to the Mongolian military camp.The common people were tortured, life was worse than death, and the whole Bianjing city became a hell on earth.

Cui Li saw that the common people had been tortured enough, how to please the Mongols next?Therefore, he decided to take over the Wanyan royal family who stayed in Bianjing city in one pot, so as to preserve his wealth for the rest of his life.Cui Li forced the empress dowager, queen, king of Liang, king of Jing, and more than 500 people from the royal family to go northward and send them to Mongolia in thirty-seven carts; The artisans were collected and headed north.This scene is simply a repeat of the Jingkang incident more than a hundred years ago.The treatment of the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin was not even as good as that of the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty. After arriving in the Kingdom of Jin, the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty survived despite all the humiliation.The Mongols didn't have the patience. After the hundreds of royal families from the Jin Dynasty were sent to the Mongolian army, all the men were killed, and the women were sold to the northern grasslands for cattle and sheep.Cui Li opened the city gate to welcome the Mongolian soldiers into the city.He felt that he had dedicated the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin to the Mongols. Once the Mongols came, they would definitely be rewarded. I am sure I am still the boss.Unexpectedly, as soon as the Mongolian soldiers entered the city, they would ask who was the richest in the city.People say that Cui Li's family is the richest.That's for sure, he took all the money of the royal family and the common people away.When the Mongolian soldiers heard it, Cui Li's family was the richest?I don't care if you made an agreement with Da Khan, but you and I didn't have an agreement anyway, so you rushed into Cui Li's house and snatched it away. Not only did you take away all his treasures, but he even divided up his wives and concubines.When Cui Li went home and saw that the house had become a rough house, he cried bitterly at his desk, regretting it too late.

Cui Li flattered Mongolia, oppressed the people, abused the soldiers, not only greedy for money, but also lustful.There is a general in his tent, his wife is very beautiful, Cui Li always wants to take this man's wife as his own, and always sends this man on a business trip, he just wants to wait for the general to go on a business trip before he starts.But this general is very smart, and he takes his family with him every time he travels on business.Cui Li was very angry, but he couldn't express his suffering, and he couldn't say that you left your wife behind on a business trip, so he wanted to kill this person.This person also understands that Cui Li's patience has a limit, and sooner or later he will become angry and attack him.what to do?The only thing to do is to strike first!He went to contact the officers under Cui Li's account.He said, Cui Li deceived the king and wronged the country, and the calamity of Dajin's subjugation of the country was all caused by Cui Li. Would you like to join hands with me to eliminate this thief and be loyal to the country?Everyone said yes, the people in the city wished to eat Cui Lizhi's meat raw, so why not.So, everyone rushed into Cui Li's residence, raised their knives and killed him.

The news of Cui Li's murder spread to the city of Bianjing, and the common people rushed up to eat Cui Li's meat excitedly, cutting him up with their teeth.Cui Li's corpse was hung on a big tree with luxuriant branches for public display.What's interesting is that just after Cui Li was hanged, the big tree fell down and its roots were up.The common people said that if they saw it, the tree was afraid that Cui Li would pollute it, and the tree had a spirit, so it fell down.A traitor to the country will not die a good death. At this time, the city of Bianjing was in a mess and it was too horrible to look at.Yuan Haowen, a great poet at the end of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote a poem describing the tragic situation at that time: "The bones are like a mess, and the hometown has turned into a dragon sand in a few years. I only know that the people in Heshuo are exhausted, but there are only a few families in the dilapidated houses." ("Guisi Wu") One of the Three Poems of Beidu on the 3rd of the third month) Heshuo's life is exhausted, and there are no fewer than one million dead in Bianjing.
