Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 2: Outer Building of Qingshan Building

The imperial palace system is different. Although Zhao Chen is a prince, he has to go through layers of notifications if he wants to see his "father"!

He begged to see Song Qinzong in the morning, and it was only in the afternoon that he was led by a chief **** to the Funing Hall where Song Qinzong was, where he saw his father.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has really seen Song Qinzong! This is the famous emperor Jingkang in history and one of the emperors with the most miserable fate in history! In history, Jurchen was strong. After they destroyed Liao, they went south by the way and surrounded Kaifeng! When Song Huizong was in power, Song Huizong was panicked and temporarily passed the throne to the unwelcome eldest son Zhao Huan, and forced Zhao Huan to ascend the throne as Song Qinzong! After Song Qinzong reigned for only one year, Jin Bing went south again and surrounded Kaifeng again! After the second emperor was captured, Song Qinzong was imprisoned in the ice and snow for 30 years before being trampled to death by the Jin Bing! It can be said that, except for his youth, the Jingkang Emperor did not have much happiness in his life.

The ancients got married earlier. Song Qinzong had a prince at the age of 17. Now Zhao Chen is 10 years old, while Song Qinzong is still less than 30 years old. At this moment, Zhao Chen was secretly looking at Song Qinzong, and saw that Song Qinzong was tall, but his body was thin, his face was pale, his eyes were dim, and his body was obviously not very good.

"My son has seen my father!" Zhao Chen knelt down and saluted respectfully!

Even the prince must kneel down to worship the emperor. This is etiquette! Zhao Chen has been in the palace for many days, and he has learned the most basic etiquette anyhow.

"It turns out to be Chen'er, hurry up and flat yourself, stay aside, Master Zhang and I have important matters to discuss!" Song Qinzong Zhao Huan said.

Zhao Chen discovered that there was another person in the Funing Hall. This person was more than forty years old. He was a little shorter, obese, and dressed in a red official robe. He turned out to be a minister of the first grade! This person's appearance gave people an unusually wretched feeling. With the fat on his face and the flattering smile on his face, Zhao Chen frowned at first sight.

"Weichen Zhang Bangchang has seen His Royal Highness!" The forty-year-old minister bent over and saluted Zhao Chen.

Hearing the words "Zhang Bangchang", Zhao Chen couldn't help being taken aback! This Bangchang can be regarded as a famous figure in history, he is a famous traitor in the late Northern Song Dynasty! During the reigns of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, this person successively held positions such as Shangshu Youcheng, Zuocheng, Zhongshu Shilang, Shaozai, Dazai and Sect Shilang, etc. After the golden soldiers surrounded Kaifeng, this man led the peace. After that, this person actually served as the so-called "Hebei Land Cultivation Envoy" and was responsible for completely ceding all the land in Hebei to the Jurchens! Because of "good work", after Jin Bing retreated, this person was established as a puppet emperor by Jin Bing, named "Emperor of Chu". It is proved by later generations that this person is the only emperor surnamed Zhang in history. But this piece of Bangchang is really incompetent, no one supports this so-called "Emperor of Chu", whether it is the people or the ministers. Only a month later, the emperor of Chu was overthrown, and in history this man only left him infamy.

"So it was this traitorous official!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

Zhao Huan and Zhang Bangchang have important matters to discuss, Zhao Chen can only stand aside, secretly listening to the conversation between the two.

Zhang Bangchang took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Zhao Huan. Zhao Chen glanced at it and found that it was a map with the palace of Song Dynasty painted on it.

"Your Majesty, look to the north of the palace. There is still a large area of ​​land here! There are some untouchables living here now, there is no royal family, and no ministers! We can expel these untouchables and expand the palace here!" Zhang Bangchang said.

Zhao Chen was taken aback again, but he did not expect that Zhao Huan and Zhang Bangchang would discuss the expansion of the palace here.

"Will these untouchables make trouble?" Zhao Huan said.

"Your Majesty, it's just a group of untouchables, how dare they make trouble? The big deal, we will take out some gold and silver from the treasury to appease the hearts of these untouchables!" Zhang Bangchang said.

Zhao Huan nodded.

"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne. In addition to expanding the palace, the harem also needs to be enriched! Now, your Majesty, you only have one heir of the prince. In case... if there is an accident with the prince, who will Song Jiangshan pass on? So the harem Enrichment is imperative! This fall, the imperial court will be drafted all over the country, and the best will be entered into the harem!" Zhang Bangchang said again.

Zhao Huan nodded again.

Zhao Chen had been listening to the two of them. He couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly said, "Father, Master Zhang, is it time to expand the palace and expand the harem?"

When the Jin Bing went south, the disaster of annihilation of the country was about to happen. The monarch and prime minister of a country were discussing the expansion of the palace and the expansion of the harem. Zhao Chen couldn't believe it!

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan also stayed there at the moment. In his impression, the prince has always been only a promise, and he does not speak at all on weekdays, and the prince knows etiquette quite well, and the prince would not interrupt others at all! This morning he also got news that the prince had gradually recovered his memory, and now it seems that the situation is a bit weird! The prince recovered his memory, but why did his temperament change?

"Chen'er, why is it not the time to expand the palace and expand the harem?" Zhao Huan said.

"Father, Master Zhang, and the Jurchen wolf ambitions, it is possible to go south at any time! They went south to surround Kaifeng last year. If they go south again this year, how should we respond?" Zhao Chen said.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Huan was even more surprised! In the past, Zhao Chen never cared about national affairs. Imagine a ten-year-old child, how could he care about national affairs? What happened to Zhao Chen today?

"The last time the Golden Soldier went south, didn't he still retreat? The Golden Soldier went south for just some gold and silver! Last time we gave them enough gold and silver, this time they won't go south again!" Zhang Bangchang shook his head and said. .

"The Golden Soldiers retreated not because we gave them enough gold and silver, but because they were insufficiently armed at the time, so they retreated! If the Golden Soldiers go south again, they must be fully prepared, and they must be a nationwide soldier. Come, when the time comes, the entire Kaifeng is in danger of being conquered, and the entire Central Plains may be occupied by the Golden Soldiers! At that time, both the father and I will not escape!" Zhao Chen looked at Zhang Bangchang and said coldly.

"Chen'er, you really worry too much! Mr. Zhang just said that the Golden Soldiers went south for only gold and silver! If they go south again, we have a big deal to give them some more gold and silver! Don't worry!" Zhao Huan said.

"Father, the Golden Soldier will go south and I will definitely destroy Da Song. How can I not worry about my son?" Zhao Chen said loudly.

"What do you know as a ten-year-old boy?" Zhao Huan frowned and said.

"Father, think twice!" Zhao Chen said anxiously.

"Come on, take the prince down!"

Zhao Huan waved his hand, and immediately saw two guards running over. The two guards grabbed Zhao Chen's arm and dragged Zhao Chen out of Funing Hall.

"Your Majesty, the prince is young, how does he understand these state affairs?" Zhang Bangchang slowly said when he saw Zhao Chen being taken out by the guards in the Funing Hall.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Huan asked with some confusion.

"Your Majesty, I think someone must have instigated the prince to say these absurd words!" Zhang Bangchang sneered.

"Someone instigated the prince? Who would it be? The prince rarely contacted ministers... Could it be that Li Ruoshui failed?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise.

Li Ruoshui was the righteous middle-aged man Zhao Chen had just met in this era. He was originally a teacher of the prince, and because he frightened the prince and caused the prince to amnesia, he was relegated to Luoyang Order.

This Li Ruoshui is also a famous person in history, but unlike Zhang Bangchang, he is a famous loyal minister in history! The city of Kaifeng was broken, and Emperor Qinzong of Song Dynasty and Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty were captured. The ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty were afraid of the Jin Bing's prestige and did not dare to speak. Only Li Ruoshui spoke up and defended the dignity of the two emperors. Marshal Jin Wanyan Zonghan saw Li Ruoshui's loyalty and admiration in his heart, and wanted to buy Li Ruoshui, so Xu Yi was a high-ranking official. Wan Yan Zonghan said to Li Ruoshui, "Observe today and be rich tomorrow", but Li Ruoshui sternly refused! After that, Yan Zonghan threatened Li Ruoshui with the lives of his relatives, saying, "Parents are tall in the spring and autumn, and if they are less awkward, they hope to return home." Li Ruoshui reprimanded and said, "loyal ministers will no longer care for the family." Seeing Song Qinzong and Song Huizong being insulted, Li Ruoshui kept cursing, Wanyanzonghan ordered someone to cut off Li Ruoshui's tongue! Li Ruoshui couldn't use his mouth to scold, so he glared and pointed with his hands. So Wan Yan Zonghan ordered the people to goug Li Ruoshui's eyes and cut off Li Ruoshui's hands. Finally, Wan Yan Zonghan put Li Ruoshui to death.

It can be said that Li Ruoshui represents the integrity of ancient Chinese literati, and he interprets the word integrity with his life.

"Your Majesty, it must be Li Ruoshui who instigated the prince to say these absurd things! Li Ruoshui must be severely punished!" At the moment in the Great Song Palace, Zhang Bangchang was constantly agitating Song Qinzong to punish Li Ruoshui.

"That's fine, this person is no longer an assistant minister, now just a mere order of Luoyang! A county magistrate, he is enough, no need to be punished!" Song Qinzong shook his head and said.

The status of literati in the Song Dynasty was relatively high, and the emperors of the Song Dynasty also valued literati. There was no tradition of killing literati in the Northern Song Dynasty. A civil servant was downgraded from an official minister to a county magistrate. This was already an extreme punishment. Song Qinzong felt that there was no need to punish him! Zhang Bangchang and Li Ruoshui have always been at odds, but thinking that Li Ruoshui is now the county magistrate, he no longer takes him seriously.

As for the Prince's "abnormal performance", both of them belonged to Li Ruoshui!

As the sun set, Zhao Chen walked on the road to the palace.

He raised his eyes and saw a green hill faintly in the distance, surrounded by countless palaces and attics! The entire imperial palace is exceptionally magnificent, not just the imperial palace, but the entire Kaifeng city is exceptionally magnificent.

The Song Dynasty was the most economically developed dynasty in ancient China, and Kaifeng was the most prosperous city in the world in this era. The population reaches one million, the scenery is beautiful, and the city is magnificent. The ancient Han civilization also reached its peak in this era. Unfortunately, after the peak, there was decline, and the beginning of decline was the shame of Jingkang.

In the palace, Yingying Yanyan, countless court ladies, concubines, and princesses haunt them! Walking on the road to the palace, Zhao Chen kept hearing the sound of dancing, and kept seeing the beautiful girls dancing!

Seeing everything in front of him, Zhao Chen suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, and a poem appeared in his mind.

"Outside the mountain outside the Qingshan Tower, when will the West Lake singing and dancing be closed? The warm wind makes the tourists drunk and makes Hangzhou a Bianzhou!"

This poem was made by the poet Lin Sheng during the Southern Song Dynasty. It satirizes the people of the Southern Song Dynasty that they only care about peace and happiness, and turn a blind eye to the dangerous situation that is coming! Zhao Chen felt that this poem was used to describe the same situation in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty!

The Jurchens rise between the white mountains and the black waters. In ten years, they are invincible and invincible! Under the leadership of the Jurchen hero Wanyan Aguda, in only ten years, they wiped out the former powerhouse of Liao in East Asia. Under the Jurchen cavalry, the invincible Khitan people only surrendered and trembled! The territory of the Liao Kingdom was completely occupied by the Jurchens, and the emperor of the Liao Kingdom knelt down in front of the Jurchen emperor and became a prisoner of the Jurchens!

Now that the Liao Kingdom has disappeared, the southern convenience of the Jurchens is the Great Song, they may go south to destroy the Song at any time! Faced with such a situation, the monarchs of Song Dynasty were not thinking about how to deal with the Jinbing, but thinking about how to expand the palace and expand the harem! In the entire imperial palace, the entire Kaifeng city, both the ministers and the common people are indulged in the "prosperous scenery", no one is worried that the golden soldiers will completely destroy everything in front of them when they go south!

"I am no longer an ordinary senior high school student, I am Prince Jingkang! The Great Song Dynasty destroyed the country, ordinary people may be able to survive, I, Prince Jingkang can not escape death! I must find a way to escape here!" Zhao Chen secretly The way.
