Inheriting the Song Dynasty

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...

Summary of Volume 2 and Apology Letter and a Short Record of the First Month of the Book in April

In addition to the political gesture of posthumously awarding Su Shi the title of Grand Tutor, there is also a historical story about him writing inscriptions on Su Shi's original works to express his feelings.

In history, there was also a story about Zhang Jun who was dismissed from his post as prime minister. At that time, Emperor Gaozong of Song wanted him to recommend Qin Hui. However, Zhang Jun, who had a very good relationship with Qin Hui in the past, had already discovered that the other party was a bad person. So when Emperor Gaozong of Song asked him, he immediately said that this person had no morals and was not qualified to be a prime minister.

Then Zhao Gou asked again, actually wanting him to recommend Zhao Ding again. As a result, Zhang Jun knew the other party's intention, but kept silent... He knew that Zhao Ding was stronger than Qin Hui, but due to the confrontation between the two, he did not say a word.

So Zhao Gou appointed Zhao Ding, but it was impossible for Zhao Ding to get along with Zhang Jun anymore, and the group of people who fled from the Imperial Academy during the Jingkang Rebellion parted ways.

Then Zhao and Zhang were crushed, and Qin Hui took advantage of the situation to rise... I can only say that the civil servants, the thinking within his system was too extreme...

But on the other hand, in the book, before Zhang Jun left, he finally recommended Hu Yin, with whom he had a fierce conflict. In fact, this was just a joke used in reverse... At least the protagonist was open-hearted and trusted him, so he made the brainless choice to follow the emperor's wishes.

There is no historical record of the Ten Commanders' Oath of Brotherhood, but in history, after the collapse of the Tokyo Lyosu Division, there were indeed scenes of forming cliques and factions and then swearing brotherhood, and this happened more than once.

Even after forming gangs and factions, there were still fights between several groups of people.

Among them, in history, Ma Gao, as a representative of loyalty to the Song Dynasty, was killed by other rebellious commanders. Yizhangqing should have gone to Lü Xing, because Lü Xing recognized her as his goddaughter and married her to Zhang Yong through marriage. Later, Lü Xing was defeated or died in battle. Zhang Yong and she became exiled military bandits. Yue Fei surrendered them, which was a good result. From the historical narrative, it can be seen that people like Ma Gao, Yizhangqing, and Zhang Yong have some bottom line. They must have coerced ordinary people into the army, but compared with others, they still have a simple sense of morality.

But what’s interesting is that after Yizhangqing remarried, she still called herself Madam Ma, and went into battle under the banner of Madam Ma, claiming to be a loyal hero... Anyway, Zhang Yong should have no objection.

Wang Shan is a very interesting person. In that chaotic period, he had the most troops and the greatest power at the beginning. Zhang Yong also depended on him, and many so-called sworn brothers also followed him. He also said the words "redefine the rich and the poor, the noble and the humble" when attacking the city defended by the Song Dynasty army.

Moreover, this person never surrendered to the Jin Army and the Pseudo-Qi during his early active periods. He insisted on his bottom line while trying hard to climb up.

However, later on, his mother fell into the water while following him around and died. This made Wang Shan, who was originally very ambitious and capable, immediately lose the motivation to fight. In the end, he became discouraged and surrendered to the Jin army or the Pseudo-Qi, and disappeared from history ever since.

These people, Wang Shan, Li Kui, the sick Guan Suo Li Bao, the remarried Yi Zhang Qing, oh, and Hu Cheng, and even Shao Qing who killed pregnant women to take fetuses for divination but bravely fought against the Jin Dynasty, should be the inspiration for the later "Water Margin".

They are an extremely complex group, generally corrupt, but they have their reasons for being corrupt (they are forced by the world to choose to abuse force).

Therefore, the key point here is that the reason why they have universally and collectively fallen is simply because they lack someone to replace Zong Ze to restrain and organize them.

The protagonist in the book appeared and cast a life and death talisman.

Then, because of the protagonist's presence, those who originally had regrets can be relieved, innocent people who would have fallen can be saved from falling, and those who would have been cleared of wrongdoings... that goes without saying.

This is the fundamental pleasure of historical time-travel novels. It should be the result of the resonance between a certain simple and positive sense of morality deep in everyone's heart and history and novels.

Finally, I want to make an advertisement.

Push two public accounts:

One is "Fishman in the Sea of ​​Books", created by Andes Morning Breeze, which publishes four tweets every week, including online novels, new book reviews, various book lists, and even physical book recommendations and short story serials.

Andes Morning Breeze should be the leading figure in the shift from serious book reviewing to online literature. His reviews are very in-depth and professional. Whether you want to find a book or read in-depth reviews of online literature, this public account is a good place to go.

Another one is "Chiji's Book Famine Relief Center", which seems to be very well-known among book lovers, because Chiji is dedicated to recommending books and reviewing articles. He and Andes Morning Wind have different depth and breadth. The former focuses on the review of online articles, while the latter specializes in finding good books for everyone to read.

I have written so many words without realizing it, but why don’t I have the energy to update?
