Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The sound of wind and rain outside was getting louder, and Zhao Chen gradually woke up.

He felt the boat shaking, he was still a little dizzy, shook his head, Zhao Chen looked around.

"Where is this place? Why am I on the boat again? Huh!"

Suddenly Zhao Chen let out a soft cry, and he found himself lying naked on the bed.

Zhao Chen stayed there.

The bed was a mess, and his clothes were beside him.

At that moment Zhao Chen put on his clothes and sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking carefully about what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday, I smelled a sweet fragrance for a while, it should be the fragrance of ecstasy!"

"Who is it that saved me?"

"What the hell happened last night?"

"Last night, I was almost dying, and I had many dreams... In the dream, there was a woman by my side, and I hugged her tightly... And... I actually did that things come..."

Zhao Chen closed his eyes and thought.

After a while, Zhao Chen raised his head, opened his eyes, and looked around suspiciously.

He vaguely smelled a fragrance, the fragrance of the woman's body. He lowered his head and found a long hair. The hair is black and shiny, not his hair.

Zhao Chen got off the bed abruptly and headed out of the cabin.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the dripping on the person's body was abnormally cold. His internal injuries had not healed, which should not have been the case, but Zhao Chen ignored it.

He looked around anxiously, the waves were raging, and suddenly a wave hit the board of the boat, and the sea water splashed on Zhao Chen's body, and his clothes became wet all of a sudden.

"It's her! It must be her! Last night, many things must have happened, and she saved me again! Why did she leave? Why?"

Looking at the vast sea in front of him, Zhao Chen suddenly felt an unusual sense of anxiety and reluctance. He suddenly jumped off the boat, came to the beach, and strode forward.

"Miss Song, where are you? Come out quickly!"

"Come out quickly!"

"I know you're around here!"

He shouted loudly, and the sound of wind and rain could not cover his shout, but he shouted for a long time, but he didn't hear a response.

"Damn it! I'm so confused, asshole!"

Zhao Chen didn't know why, and kept scolding himself.

After a long time, he finally stopped.

His body was already completely wet. He looked at the vast sea in the distance, and his heart was just like the sea in front of him. The waves were ups and downs, and it was not calm at all.

Since he was a child, he has experienced many things. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be like this, but he just can't control himself.

He shouted loudly towards the sea.

He felt as if a complete change had taken place in him, and he was no longer the same as before.

He doesn't seem to be who he used to be anymore.

"What the hell have I done?"

He sighed softly.

"After the fall of Lin'an City, I thought the world would be unified. From then on, only Jurchens and barbarians were left! I thought that I had fully matured, and there was nothing I couldn't or couldn't do in the world! Who knew that so many things happened one after another! Forget it, let's return to Lin'an City first, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River must not be chaotic! In the future, I will naturally find her!"

"There are priorities. As long as she is alive, I will find her, but the situation in Jiangnan cannot be delayed!"

The expression on Zhao Chen's face changed, and he finally made a decision after a long time.

He left the beach step by step, but when he left, he felt a little struggling in his heart. He still wanted to stay here to look for Song Qingyao, but he didn't stop after all.

*** ***

At this moment in Lin'an City, it is also rainy and windy.

Among the houses in the east of Lin'an City, the magnificent buildings built here.

In the back of the house is a garden. It is already mid-March, and the spring in the south of the Yangtze River has already arrived. Although there is wind and rain, the garden is already full of greenery.

In a house next to the garden, there are seven people sitting at the moment!

The person sitting in the main seat has gray hair and beard, and his face is full of wrinkles. He is Yang Shi, a great Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River.

When Miao Liu mutinied, Yang Shi hid at home and didn't dare to go out at all.

When Miao Liu mutinied and Zhao Chen entered Lin'an, he also obediently hid in his home.

It wasn't until Zhao Chen was assassinated that Yang Shi became active again.

The other six people in the room were also well-dressed, some were holding folding fans, some were holding books, they were all over 50 years old, they behaved elegantly, they were all great Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River!

Beside Yang Shi's left hand is a man about fifty years old, with a slightly thin body, but his eyes are unusually bright, and his hair and beard are also gray. It can be seen that he was also a handsome man when he was young! His name is Li Tong! Like Yang Shi, he is also a disciple of Er Cheng, but when he apprenticed to his teacher, Er Cheng was already old, so it was Yang Shi who taught him art. Speaking of which, he can also be regarded as Yang Shi's disciple! In history, he was also very famous, because he was Zhu Xi's teacher. Zhu Xi inherited the Ercheng knowledge from Li Tong, and finally carried forward Neo-Confucianism and made Neo-Confucianism great.

Beside Yang Shi's right hand is a man who is also older, with all white hair and dim eyes. He is tall and tall, but now that he is old, his waist is already bowed. He occasionally raised his hands to drink tea, but his hands were trembling. His name is Luo Congyan, he is also a disciple of Ercheng, a great Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Ming Dynasty, he entered the Confucian temple together with Zhuge Liang, Zhu Xi, Wen Tianxiang and others, and was worshiped by the state. He was also a master of Confucianism.

The other four are also great Confucian scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were respected in the past, which is no small matter.

The window was open now, and they were talking and listening to the rain.

"Mr. Yang, the world is in chaos today! There has just been a military accident in Lin'an City, why did you call us here?" a great Confucian said.

"I asked you gentlemen to come here, of course there is something important to do." Yang Shi said.

At that moment, he winked, and the beautiful maids in the room immediately retreated and closed the door.

Seeing that Yang Shi was so cautious, the rest of the Confucian scholars also became cautious immediately, knowing that what Yang Shi said was not trivial.

"Mr. Yang, speak quickly." A great Confucian said.

"The Jurchens invaded and the country was in chaos. Emperor Jianyan managed to turn the tide in the troubled times, which made the country stable! Later in the south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Jianyan loved the people diligently and respected Confucianism, which is admirable! On the other hand, Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Jianyan has succeeded He ascended the throne again under the condition of splitting the country, and he deserves death! He also promoted the tyranny of the Qin Emperor, who only admired military power and did not know the merits of culture and education! Emperor Jianyan was supposed to be a generation of sages, but he was brutally killed by Emperor Xuanwu. It's really embarrassing!" Yang Shi said.

After Yang Shi finished speaking, the rest of the Confucian scholars nodded.

Over the years, Zhao Gou has really respected these great Confucians, and he also attaches great importance to Confucianism. However, Zhao Chen propagated the idea of ​​militarism in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan and Sichuan. These are completely different from Confucianism's "moderation" and "non-dispute". Jiangnan Confucianism will never accept Zhao Chen!

"However, it is destiny that Emperor Xuanwu is not the Son of Heaven at all! After he killed Emperor Jianyan, he himself was assassinated!" Yang Shi laughed loudly with excitement on his face.

"Emperor Xuanwu was assassinated, is it true or not?" asked a great Confucian.

"It must be true! That night, Emperor Xuanwu's subordinates mobilized a large number of troops to go to the West Lake area! It is said that Emperor Xuanwu was shameless. He had just occupied Lin'an, and he favored Emperor Jianyan's concubine on the West Lake, but was found by assassins. At the right time, assassinate him!" Yang Shi said with a wretched smile on his face.

"I also heard about the assassination of Emperor Xuanwu! There should be nothing wrong!" Li Tong said.

"That's right! The assassination must be true. In recent days, the soldiers and horses under Emperor Xuanwu are still looking for it!" Luo Congyan also said.

These people all said that Zhao Chen might be assassinated, and the Confucian who had some doubts didn't ask any more questions.

"Emperor Xuanwu was rebellious and immoral, and he deserved death. He died when he died. It's nothing! It's just that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the hundreds of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty cannot be ruled by no one! Today I will gather you all Come, it is for this matter!" Yang Shi said.

After Yang Shi finished speaking, the other six Confucian scholars frowned at this moment.

"Mr. Yang, His Majesty Jianyan is dead, and so is the crown prince Zhao Yan. The rest of the royal family are all in the north, imprisoned by the Jurchens. Who shall we make emperor?" Li Tong asked.

"Who said that the rest of the royal children are all in the north?" Yang Shi said.

"What does Mr. Yang mean?" There was a trace of confusion in Li Tong's eyes.

"Taizong's lineage is either dead or captured, but there are still people from Taizu's lineage who survived, and there are many people in Jiangnan now!" Yang Shi said with a smile on his face.

"Ah!" The rest of the Jiangnan Confucian scholars stayed there one after another.

"That's right! There's also Taizu's lineage!" After a while, Li Tong nodded in agreement.

"From the founding of the country to the present, Taizu's lineage was demoted to the south of the Yangtze River, and now there are many children, but gradually they are not much different from ordinary people!" Luo Congyan also nodded.

Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was the overlord of a generation. He took over the Later Zhou Dynasty and replaced him to rule the world. It's just that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died early, and Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne.

Regarding the reason for Zhao Kuangyin's death, it was circulated in the Song Dynasty that it was "the sound of the shadow of the candle and the sound of the axe", and it was also recorded in later history books.

According to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin was seriously ill in the ninth year of Kaibao. The queen sent her trusted eunuch Wang Jien to summon her fourth son, Zhao Defang, into the palace in order to arrange the funeral and let Zhao Defang succeed her. It's just that Zhao Guangyi had already peeped at the throne and bought Wang Ji'en many years ago. After Wang Jien left the palace, he immediately went to find Zhao Guangyi. After Zhao Guangyi entered the palace, he came to Zhao Kuangyin's bedroom without notification. When Wang Jien returned to the palace, the queen asked, "Defang is here." Wang Jien said, "The king of Jin is here." The king of Jin is Zhao Guangyi. After Zhao Guangyi entered Zhao Kuangyin's bedroom, the eunuchs and maids in the distance saw Zhao Guangyi's figure moving around under the candle shadow, as if he was wrestling with someone. Then they heard the sound of "pillar and ax poking the ground", Zhao Kuangyin Immediately "died of illness". In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne in front of Zhao Kuangyin's coffin.

After Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, Zhao Kuangyin's sons had problems one after another. Zhao Kuangyin had four sons, the eldest son died early, the second son Zhao Dezhao was forced to commit suicide, the third son died early, and the fourth son Zhao Defang "died of illness" at the age of twenty-three.

The ancients married very early, and Zhao Kuangyin's sons committed suicide or "died of illness" in their prime, but they all have descendants to pass on to future generations. However, most of their descendants were also demoted. Among them, several sons of Zhao Defang were demoted to Jiangnan, and their descendants also settled in Jiangnan.

Up to now, Zhao Kuangyin's descendants basically have no titles, and they live an ordinary life like ordinary people.

They are no longer the children of the royal family, but they still have the blood of the Zhao family.

Historically, after the death of Zhao Gou's only son, Zhao Tan, Zhao Gou found one of Song Taizu's descendants as his adopted son, and then used his adopted son to inherit his throne.

"That's right, what Mr. Yang said is right!" Another Daru nodded and said.

"It's just that there are many descendants of Taizu, who can inherit the throne?" A great Confucian said.

"I have carefully studied the genealogy. Zhao Zicheng, the sixth grandson of Taizu, is diligent and honest. He knows poetry and books quite well, so he can inherit the throne." Yang Shi smiled.

This Zhao Zicheng is the biological father of Song Xiaozong in history, and Song Xiaozong's adoptive father is Zhao Gou! It's just that Zhao Gou is dead now, and it's impossible for Song Xiaozong to appear again! As for Song Xiaozong's biological father, he will also remain unknown! However, Yang Shi sent him to the stage of history again.

"Oh? Where is he now?" Li Tong asked.

"He's in Lin'an City right now! If everyone agrees, I can find him anytime!" Yang Shi said.

"There are still two things now. First, we don't know whether Emperor Xuanwu is really dead? Although he was assassinated, he may not have been killed!" Although Luo Congyan was old and dim, he still said.

"Emperor Xuanwu should be dead! Otherwise, he should have appeared long ago to calm the current situation in Lin'an." Li Tong said.

"Emperor Xuanwu will definitely die, don't worry too much! It is impossible for a tyrant like him to survive, and God will not bless him!" Yang Shi laughed.

"Second question, Emperor Xuanwu still has 100,000 troops in the south of the Yangtze River. How should we deal with these troops?" Luo Congyan asked.

"A 100,000 army? It's just some lowly soldiers. Their status is extremely low. How can they be compared with our Confucian masters!" Yang Shi said disdainfully.

"What Mr. Yang said is true! The most humble people in this world are those soldiers, they are worthless!" Li Tong also nodded.

"So, let's take a look at Zhao Zicheng! See if he can take over the country!" Luo Congyan said.

"That's right! On the one hand, we need to contact Zhao Zicheng, and on the other hand, we need to connect all the great Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River! Even if Emperor Xuanwu is really not dead, we, the great Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River, can fight him together! From ancient times to the present, all the kings of the past have respected him." Confucianism! Anyone who is unwilling to respect Confucianism will have a dead end." Li Tong said.

"What Mr. Li said is true!" The rest of the Confucian scholars nodded.

These great Confucians talked for a while, and finally dispersed.

Yang Shi was standing in his own house at the moment, feeling a sense of high spirits.

"I'm going to find that Zhao Zicheng now, and let him come out to inherit the throne of the Song Dynasty!" Yang Shi secretly said.
