Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 80: King Kang ascended the throne

The weather is fine on May 16th of the lunar calendar!

On this day, Zhao Gou officially announced his enthronement as emperor!

It's just that the place where he ascended the throne was not in Kaifeng City! Because the Jurchens are raging, the city of Kaifeng is already empty! The current Kaifeng City is extremely dilapidated, and there are still many dead bodies in Kaifeng City that have not yet been processed! As for the merchants, they have disappeared in the city of Kaifeng!

On this day, Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Shangqiu to the south!

In the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng was Tokyo, the capital of the country, Luoyang was Xijing, Daming Mansion was Beijing, and Shangqiu was Nanjing! This Shangqiu was the companion capital of the Song Dynasty, and the Jurchens did not enter here, so it is still prosperous!

Zhao Gou was already bathing and changing clothes. When the sun just rose in the morning, he led the officials to the altar to worship the sky! After offering sacrifices to the heavens, sacrifices to ancestors! After offering sacrifices to ancestors, Zhao Gou became emperor in Shangqiu's imperial palace!

His ascension to the throne is huge, and hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Shangqiu City are watching the ceremony! In addition to watching the ceremony, the people are also talking about it!

"King Kang is just a feudal king. Now that the prince is alive, how can King Kang ascend the throne as emperor?"

"Yeah! I'm afraid it's wrong for King Kang to ascend to the throne! I heard that His Royal Highness is now in Hanzhong! If His Royal Highness also ascends the throne, what should I do?"

"His Royal Highness is the rightful prince of the country! Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is captured, and it is reasonable for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne as the emperor. How can King Kang do such a thing?"

"Although His Royal Highness is the prince, but he is too young! Counting, His Royal Highness is only 11 years old now! What does this 11-year-old child know? If it is normal years, naturally the prince will inherit the throne! But now, the Jurchens treat us Looking forward to it, it is possible to go south at any time. Can we still let an 11-year-old child ascend the throne as the emperor? I think it is not impossible for King Kang to ascend the throne as the emperor!"

"Nonsense! King Kang is just a feudal king. He enthroned without authorization. This is a big violation of the ethical guidelines! My Song is the most ethical program. King Kang's ascension to the throne is a bit rebellious!"

The people talked a lot, but most people did not approve of King Kang ascending the throne! Only a small number of people support King Kang's accession to the throne because King Kang is older and it is wartime!

"In all dynasties, the emperor must first have the jade seal of the Chuanguo! Even rebels like Wang Mang and Cao Pi must get the jade seal of the Chuanguo, so that they can be justified! However, it is said that the jade seal of the Chuanguo has been taken away by the prince! There is no country’s jade seal, can such ascending the throne count?"

"If you don't pass the jade seal of the country, you can't be called the emperor!"

"Yeah! If His Royal Highness holds the Jade Seal of the Kingdom to the throne, who should we respect as the emperor?"

Some people talked about passing on the jade seal of the country! Although they are common people, they also know that Chuanguo Yuxi is an orthodox symbol! King Kang did not pass on the jade seal of the country, so ascending to the throne as emperor is not even comparable to rebels like Wang Mang and Cao Pi! How can such Kang Wang be recognized by the people?

The scale of the enthronement ceremony is huge, and at night, the enthronement ceremony is complete!

Zhao Gou officially became the emperor, his reign was Jianyan, and now is the first year of Jianyan! This is not much different from history! The only difference is that there is an extra Zhao Chen in the first year of Jianyan, so Zhao Gou's position is a bit embarrassing!

In the middle of the night, Zhao Gou feasted the officials! His important ministers have already arrived in the palace!

Among them, the most famous is undoubtedly Zong Ze, this person is the head of Zhao Goushou's descendants! In addition to Zongze, there is an old man sitting there! The old man looked unusually old, his eyelids drooped, but his identity was not trivial! He is the most famous great scholar Yang Shi of this era! Yang Shi is a disciple of Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, and he is known as Cheng Men authentic! Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi jointly founded Confucian Confucianism! Since the Song Dynasty, Confucian Neo-Confucianism has become the authentic Confucianism! As a disciple of two masters, Yang Shi's status can be imagined! In addition to Yang Shi, there is also an important seat in front of a civil servant. This civil servant has an unusually square face, and his eyes are bright. This person is called Zhao Ding! In history, this Zhao Ding is the Nandu famous person named after Li Gang, and the only civil servant in the early Song Dynasty who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Gang!

In addition to them, there are two middle-aged civil servants sitting there. One of these two middle-aged civil servants is relatively obese. This person is called Huang Qianshan, and the other is tall, thin and tall with a smile on his face. This person is called Wang Boyan! These two are famous traitors in the early Southern Song Dynasty. In history, it was these two who expelled Li Gang, making it difficult for Li Gang's anti-golden plan to be completed!

In addition to these civil servants, Zhao Gou's generals are also extremely large!

The most famous one is undoubtedly Han Shizhong! Back then, Han Shizhong once captured Fang La alive among thousands of troops, and was called the first rising star in the Western Army! His martial arts is extremely high, and his reputation is also great in history! At this moment, he is naturally sitting on the chief! In addition to him, Liu Guangshi was also sitting there, but Liu Guangshi was sitting under Han Shizhong's hands! For this, Liu Guangshi was obviously very dissatisfied! In addition to the two of them, there are some other generals, but Zhang Jun who captured Zhao Chen is not here, I don't know where he went!

Zhao Gou sat on the throne and looked at the minister below, with a satisfied look in his eyes!

His subordinates are full of talents, both civil and military! And most of these people are loyal to him! These people are where he is in charge of the world!

"Today I became the emperor, the first thing I would like to thank is your ministers and workers! Without your concerted efforts to help the widow, the widow would not be able to sit here today!" Zhao Gou smiled.

He raised his wine glass, and the civil and military ministers below raised their wine glasses to celebrate Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne!

"The affairs of the country are difficult! Although the Jurchens retreat temporarily, they will go south sooner or later! So we must think of countermeasures! You all talk about it, what are we going to do next?" Zhao Gou said.

"Your Majesty, we must first master Jiangnan! Jiangnan has a large population and rich materials! After mastering Jiangnan, we will be able to deal with the Jurchens! Now the Central Plains is broken, and only relying on the Central Plains, I am afraid that we cannot compete with the Jurchens!" Zong Ze stood up and said.

"This is natural! Jiangnan I will not let it go!" Zhao Gou nodded.

"In addition to Jiangnan, there is also Sichuan! Sichuan is a country of abundance, extremely wealthy! Your Majesty should immediately make an order to make Sichuan officials surrender!" Zong Ze said again.

"The officials in Sichuan may not obey me, Emperor Jianyan! To be honest, I have ordered Zhang Jun to go upstream along the Yangtze River and prepare to regain Sichuan with a large army!" Zhao Gou said.

"It's so safe! In addition to Jiangnan and Sichuan, there are now Hanzhong and Guanshan! It's just that there is a Prince in Hanzhong, I'm afraid he may not obey us!" Zong Ze nodded!

Zhao Gou also nodded, this is his biggest problem now! If it weren't for Zhao Chen, he wouldn't have to think about these things at all! As long as he ascends the throne as emperor, whether it is Jiangnan, Sichuan, Hanzhong, Guanshan, he will naturally obey him, so there is no need for such trouble!

"Your Majesty, I heard that His Royal Highness once went to Xiangzhou, and you sent someone to chase and kill His Royal Highness. Is there such a thing?" Zong Ze stared at Zhao Go and suddenly asked such a sentence!

"Ah! There is nothing about this! This is someone who is vilifying me!" Zhao Gou was taken aback and hurriedly said.

He did not expect that Zongze would not ask this question in the past. Today, when he was enthroned at the ceremony, he suddenly asked such a question!

"That's the best! Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is the eldest son of Emperor Jingkang! He should have inherited the throne! It's just now in wartime, His Royal Highness is too young to control the country, so I support His Majesty's accession to the throne! It’s just that, after all, this has wronged His Royal Highness, and I hope that His Majesty will not hurt His Royal Highness!" Zong Ze gritted his teeth and said what he wanted to say!

He is a well-known loyal minister in history, but the development and change of form now makes him a subordinate of Zhao Gou! However, although Zhao Gou's subordinate, he still pays attention to the word "loyalty" in his heart! In his opinion, Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne is a must! In the current situation, the prince Zhao Chen is indeed not suitable for becoming an emperor! But even so, he didn't want Zhao Chen to be hurt!

He had heard of what happened outside Xiangzhou that day! Moreover, he was originally the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and that day he also knew that there was a mobilization of soldiers and horses! So he knew that it was true that Zhao Gou wanted to kill Zhao Chen, so he advised Zhao Gou!

"Don't worry, I won't hurt the prince! Actually, I don't want to be the emperor! I am a vassal, so how can I succeed to the throne? It is just that the Jurchens are staring at me. The prince is young and the people suffer. , I have to ascend the throne! In fact, these days, I often feel uneasy and feel sorry for my father and brother! Hey, you said, should I take the prince over and let him inherit the throne?" Zhao Gou said suddenly.

"How can your Majesty have such thoughts? His Royal Highness is young after all! He is not enough to inherit the throne!"

"Yes! Your Majesty must not have such thoughts!"

"Your Majesty is loyal to the country, and there is no other way out of helplessness!"

The ministers below started talking!

A smile appeared on Zhao Gou’s face, but soon the smile disappeared. Zhao Gou said: "Although I have no choice but to inherit the throne, I dare not sit on this throne forever! I have decided, Your Royal Highness. Not only the son of the emperor, but also my son from now on! In the future, His Royal Highness will also be the prince of my Jianyan court! After I expel the Jurchen, I will immediately abdicate and let the prince inherit the throne!" Zhao Gou said.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, Yang admires it!" Yang Shi stood up abruptly and said loudly!

"Your Majesty is not greedy for the throne, it is really a model of ancient and modern!" Huang Qianshan also stood up and said.

The ministers below complimented one after another! Only Zong Ze, Han Shizhong and others frowned slightly, not knowing what they were thinking! These people are loyal ministers in history, and they always attach great importance to the ethical guidelines, but they are not as pedantic as Yue Fei! In their view, Zhao Gou's accession to the throne is indeed a last resort, and now the country cannot be handed over to a child! However, they are extremely suspicious of Zhao Gou's intentions, and they are worried that Zhao Gou will continue to harm Zhao Chen!

"Now there is an extremely important thing that needs to be listed as ministers and workers to think of some ways!" Zhao Gou said.

"I don't know what's the matter?" Zong Ze said.

"Although I became the emperor, the Jade Seal of the Kingdom is not in my hands! I did not have the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, I want to give orders to the world, but I am afraid that it will not work! Therefore, I will send someone to Hanzhong to persuade the prince to get the Yuxi of the Kingdom back. If possible, bring the prince to my side too! If the emperor is gone, I will teach the prince well!" Zhao Gou said.
