In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...
"Officials!"
Kang Lu was so anxious that he even changed the word "Da Jia" which was used to express intimacy and was only used by him. "That was made by Madam Pan herself. How can we give it to the guards? It's not decent. Even you, the emperor, can't eat with the guards anymore. If it gets out, the ministers outside the court will be dissatisfied and say that the emperor despises scholars and values warriors."
"Since the Jingkang period, is there really any decorum left in the Song Dynasty?" The young official did not change his mind after hearing this, but sneered in public. "If there was any decorum, why would it have come to this? As for the scholars, they are not dissatisfied with the Jin cavalry, so why are they dissatisfied with me?"
After saying this, Emperor Zhao no longer paid any attention to the other party, but walked out of the back hall. Kang Lu was about to follow him, but unexpectedly, several soldiers with swords who were standing beside him stood up and followed him, directly blocking Emperor Kang's way.
Kang Lu rarely lost his composure and panic, and quickly signaled to a lightly-armored officer beside the palace door. Upon seeing this, the tall and dignified young officer lowered his head slightly, but finally stood up and followed the Emperor of Song, their nominal master.
The guards with swords seemed to be able to hold their own against Kang Lu, but they showed a lot of respect for this man. Instead of blocking him, they made way for him. The Song official Zhao Jiu, who was walking in front and saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, did not change his expression at all, but continued to walk out calmly.
However, when he turned out of the hall, Zhao Jiu was not in a hurry to find someone to eat with. Instead, he stood on the slope of the back hall and looked around for a long time. He thought Kang Lu had already gone to deal with the confidential documents. Then he suddenly turned around and gave an order to the young officer following behind him:
"Please Mr. Yang, please go and get the ice cream from Concubine Pan for me, and then apologize for your hard work."
As the saying goes, Yang Sheren was caught off guard and could only respond in public and turned away. Zhao Jiu, the Emperor Zhao, also went to the military camp at the bottom of the hill where the sound of horses neighing could be heard.
That’s right!
It was Zhao Jiu, not Zhao Jiu. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was really possessed by someone as the rumors said! The senior official Kang and the young officer, Yang Yi, were possessed. The "concern" of these two powerful figures in the imperial palace for the "recovering from a serious injury" was not excessive, but was really loyal and commendable!
If Zhao Gou's soul was still in something, he would probably be moved to tears.
Of course, the only problem is that the monster that took over the body of the Zhao Song official was not a civet cat that had become a spirit, but a mortal who even he felt was innocent, a mortal nine hundred years later!
I thought this guy just went home to register his household registration after graduating from college, and visited the Taoist temple by the way. Just because he helped an old Taoist priest to rescue a dog from the cement Nine Dragon Well, when he came to his senses, he became an official of the Zhao Song Dynasty... Who can he complain to?
Tell it to Taishang Laojun?
Would Taishang Laojun mock him and say: What does what happened to you in Li Er Temple have to do with me, Taishang Laojun?
In fact, to be fair, a time traveler who traveled through time and became an emperor, and an emperor who had just ascended the throne at the age of 21, if there really was a mastermind behind the scenes, it could be considered fair to the time traveler... He sat on the throne for 60 years in peace, spent 20 years saving money, 20 years building a steam engine, and another 20 years colonizing the world, during which time he married a bunch of concubines, had dozens of children, raised hundreds of cats and dogs, and designed a zoo. Isn't that good?
Isn’t it delicious?
Of course it smells good, and Concubine Pan smells good too, but the problem is that this emperor is called Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the family, and later generations have always called him Zhao Laojiu. This year's reign is called Jianyan, but it was changed to Yuan two months ago when Zhao Laojiu ascended the throne. The previous six months were called the second year of Jingkang.
In other words, at this time the extremely humiliating Jingkang Shame had ended, the Northern Song Dynasty had been completely destroyed, Hebei and Hedong had fallen completely. As for the Southern Song Dynasty, it had been established in theory, but in reality it had not yet succeeded in gaining a foothold... The entire Song Dynasty court was actually fleeing south with Zhao Laojiu, trying to find a place to survive in Yangzhou.
In this regard, our time traveler Mr. Zhao Jiu, after seeing with his own eyes thousands of soldiers and the Huaixi Plain without any electrification facilities, and asking and verifying again and again in his fairly fluent Central Plains accent, confirmed that he was a time traveler and had indeed become Zhao Gou. He has actually been in a bad mood these past few days.
It's nothing. Zhao Gou's reputation is too bad, not to mention it. The key is that the timing is even worse! In Zhao Jiu's opinion, when he travels back two years to before Jingkang, wouldn't it be better to create the second Xuanwu Gate? Or two years later, travel to Lin'an and settle down directly. Wouldn't it be comfortable?
Does it have to be at this critical moment during the escape?
Jin Wushu, who led an army of 100,000 to search the mountains and seas, is not a fictional character!
Of course, Zhao Jiu's ignorance is due to his blindness to history. Two years ago, he definitely would not have had enough time to build the Xuanwu Gate, let alone travel back two years later. If he really traveled back in time, this body would have been that of a eunuch, which would have been a life worse than death.
In short, since traveling through time, this Emperor Zhao, Zhao Gou, Zhao Jiu, or Zhao Jiu, has indeed not been in a good mood for a single day.
At first, he felt lost and irritated... Having air conditioning, computers, mobile phones, and Haidilao is not better than being an emperor in exile? Or such a terrible emperor in history? In fact, although this body is very healthy and young, he, a later generation with normal values, still felt a little disgusted and uncomfortable.
And as an ordinary person, don’t you miss home?
So, on the second night after traveling through time, Emperor Zhao tried to jump into the Nine Dragon Well in the Taoist Temple again in person, hoping to beg for mercy from the Taoist master, but he failed.
