Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Everyone came to the palace, the front door of the palace opened, and everyone entered the palace together.

At this moment, Zhao Ji, Ge Bing, Liu Shikai and others all looked curiously at the Liao State Palace in front of them, which was very different from the former Kaifeng Palace. The palace lofts are overlapped, and there are many octagonal pagodas in the distance, and an exotic atmosphere fills the palace.

Zhao Ji has an excited expression on his face. Once Liao Kingdom was Shang Kingdom, but now Liao Kingdom has been destroyed! For this fact, he was extremely happy!

"By the way, why didn't the courtiers come out to greet you?" Zhao Ji said.

"National affairs are busy, everyone is working on national affairs, so there is no need to bother them." Zhao Chen smiled bitterly.

In Zhao Chen's view, it is not a glorious thing for Zhao Ji and others to return to China from the north! These people were the chief culprits in the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, and their return is not worth celebrating.

"Humph!" Zhao Ji snorted coldly, feeling unusually dissatisfied.

They went all the way, and there were many ministers passing by on the road. These ministers did not kneel down, just stood by and saluted, and then left in a hurry. In Zhao Ji's view, these ministers are simply arrogant and domineering to the extreme! In the past when the Emperor was in Kaifeng Palace, any minister, eunuch, or palace lady would kneel down if the emperor passed by. If anyone didn't kneel down, he would immediately be punishable!

"Chen'er, you really don't know how to manage government affairs!" Zhao Ji said.

"You don't need to worry about the affairs of government." Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

"Why are there no eunuchs or court ladies in this palace?" Zhao Ji said.

"What do the many eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace do? When I was in Hanzhong, there was only one **** in the palace, so I can ask for it to come in! As for the palace ladies, there are probably more than a hundred people! Now this Yanjing Palace is also the same. In this way, there are no eunuchs, and the number of court ladies is very small! It is useless to want it!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

There was an incredible expression on Zhao Ji's face.

"There must be at least thousands of eunuchs and thousands of maids in the palace. This is the palace! What is this in front of you? All guards! Is this a military camp or a palace?" Zhao Ji said softly.

"In my opinion, this is enough! There are still maids in the harem." Zhao Chen said.

The more he goes forward, the more dissatisfied Zhao Ji's heart is! When he was in Jurchen, he heard that Da Song had regained the Central Plains, and even got Yan Yun. He thought Da Song was the same as before, but now he feels that he has come to a strange place, a strange country! The generals, soldiers, ministers, and palaces of this country made him feel weird! The city of Kaifeng was not like this at all!

They headed to the north, where the real harem was.

After about a quarter of an hour, they came to a palace.

The scale of this palace is huge, Zhao Chen said: "Grandpa, this is Tai Chi Palace, you can live in it from now on. I have already arranged people to clean up this place, and arrange for someone to come and serve." Zhao Chen said. .

The palace in front of him was magnificent and tall, even surpassing the Funing Hall in Kaifeng, Zhao Ji showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Then Zhao Ji saw several women standing at the door of the Taiji Hall. These women came down from above, and they knelt down in front of Zhao Ji. The leading woman had an extremely beautiful face and said respectfully: "Concubines see Taishang!"

Zhao Ji was taken aback, and said, "Who are you?"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "This is Empress Zheshi."

Zhao Ji frowned, and said, "Are you the daughter of a beggar?"

Zheyueru nodded and said, "Exactly."

Zhao Chen next to him had already stepped forward and helped Zheyueru up, and the maids who were waiting for Zheyueru also stood up.

Zhao Ji seemed to be very unhappy with Zheyueru. He snorted and walked forward, and Zhao Chen hurriedly followed.

"Zhe Keqiu is a rebel, how can his daughter become a queen?" Zhao Ji's voice came from the front, and Zhe Yueru's face turned pale.

"What you can ask for is what you can ask for, his daughter is his daughter! The moon is as gentle and gentle, and can be a mother to the world." Zhao Chen said.

"It's better to change this queen! I'll look for a new candidate for you!" Zhao Ji coldly snorted.

Zheyueru was standing there, her fists clenched tightly, her heart twisted like a knife, but she did not dare to be rude. After a while, she gritted her teeth and followed.

When everyone entered the Tai Chi Hall, Zhao Chen still sat in the middle position. He smiled and said: "Today, the Emperor Taishang has returned after hardships. I have asked you to prepare a very rich wine and dishes, and some singing and dancing! Come, everyone! Come up!"

Zhao Ji, Ge Bing, Liu Shikai and other monarchs and ministers who had returned from the north had already taken their seats, and it didn't take long before the wine and food were served.

This time, the food and drinks are much richer than in the barracks, but they are still far behind when they were in the Kaifeng Palace.

After a while, more than ten people entered the Tai Chi Hall and began to perform singing and dancing for Zhao Ji and others.

These more than ten people are all artists in Yanjing City, but Zhao Chen invited them from outside with money.

Their singing and dancing skills are far worse than those in Kaifeng City at the time, but Zhao Ji and others have not seen singing and dancing for many years, and they are all applauding at the moment.

After drinking and eating, Zhao Chen waved his hand. These artists retreated from the Tai Chi Hall. Only Zhao Chen, Zhao Ji and a group of ministers were left in the palace.

"Emperor, these thousand people have returned from the north, how are you going to settle them?" Zhao Ji said.

"You are all former ministers of Kaifeng, but Kaifeng was broken by Jurchen, and the city has been completely destroyed! Kaifeng has a population of one million people, and now there are very few remaining, I don't know if there are thousands of people! Kaifeng can't go back, you guys If there are relatives in other places, the imperial court will provide you with travel expenses to go back! If you have no relatives, then stay in Yanjing City, the imperial court will give each one hundred taels of silver as a settlement fee! Land in Yanyun and Central Plains There are many, if you want to go to the countryside, the court will give you land!" Zhao Chen said.

"What? Just give us a hundred taels of silver for the settlement expenses?"

"We are all former ministers of the imperial court, and we should enter the imperial court after returning!"

"We are all ambitious and want to revitalize the Song Dynasty! Now we come back, but it is to give money and land. Is this to allow us to support ourselves? How can this be?"

The ministers who returned below were all talking, and many people showed indignation on their faces.

In fact, one hundred taels of silver is a lot of money for people of this age! One hundred taels of silver is enough for a family to live for more than ten years! Even in the Qing Dynasty, when the value of silver depreciated, Fan Jin in the history of the scholars did not work as a private school teacher before Zhongju, and only had four taels of silver a year, which was enough to feed a family of three! In the Song Dynasty, the value of silver far exceeded that of the Qing Dynasty!

But for those ministers, this hundred taels of silver is really too little! So little to the point that they dismissed it! They feel that this hundred taels of silver is completely an insult to them!

As for giving them land, it seems to them to be extremely absurd! Back then, they were all ministers or nobles in the imperial court. They were always served by others, and they never needed their own labor. But now according to Zhao Chen's meaning, they want to support themselves?

"Emperor, I think these people should be reinstated!" Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said.

Although Zhao Chen said that he would not use these officials, Zhao Ji still raises this question. He thinks it is impossible for Zhao Chen to resist these thousands of people!

"Reinstate officials? Let them continue to destroy the Song Dynasty? They have already destroyed the Song Dynasty once, do they want to destroy it again? The minister of the subjugated country, what is there to use?" Zhao Chen said coldly.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, countless ministers below became flushed, even Zhao Ji's face became flushed! Others are the ministers of the country, and he is the king of the country!

"Your Majesty, one hundred taels of silver is too little to make a home!" Ge Bing stood up, angrily said.

"The country is barren, and many people can't even eat! What's more, the court will not only give you a hundred taels of silver, but also provide you with houses and furniture! If you really can't support yourself, the country will give you every month Give out money so that you can live and live better than most people!" Zhao Chen said.

"Our talents, we have suffered all the hardships, is it just to come back for the elderly?" Ge Bing said coldly.

"You are able to come back from the Five Kingdoms City and survive. I have to thank God for blessing! My mother and queen have died in the hands of Jurchens. There are no hundreds of people in Kaifeng who have died in the hands of Jurchens! Compared to them, you are lucky. Much!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty think twice! If your Majesty does this, it will only make the world feel cold!" Liu Shikai stood up and said.

"My intention has been decided, so it is decided." Zhao Chen said lightly.

"Your Majesty, we have countless disciples everywhere, and many officials have been promoted back then. Wouldn't you be afraid that officials all over the world will be disgusted by doing this?" Ge Bing sneered.

"No need to talk about this! I think it's already very kind!" Zhao Chen mocked.

At this moment, there was silence in the Tai Chi Hall. The countless ministers and nobles who had returned from the north were all dissatisfied, and Zhao Chen didn't care about their dissatisfaction at all! As for Ge Bing's disciples and promoted officials, Zhao Chen didn't take it seriously! Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Chuanshu have gone through several cleansings. The old officials have already been overthrown. After the Yanyun and Zhongyuan areas experienced the Jurchen poisoning, the officials of that year were either killed by Jurchen, surrendered to Jurchen, or hid in In the countryside, no official was reappointed anyway! Only the situation in Jiangnan is special, but even in Jiangnan, the ministers can only be retained after allegiance to Zhao Chen. Most of them are the generation who see the wind and make the rudder! Zhao Ji, Ge Bing, Liu Shikai and others returned from the north. This world is no longer theirs, and the times have already changed! It is impossible for them to make any waves!

The meal broke up, and in the next few days, the Military Aircraft Department began to relocate more than a thousand people! They distributed the house and silver, and then ignored these people again.
