In the third year of Jingyou, during Emperor Renzong's reign of the Song Dynasty, an unruly young man fell into the back garden of the Great Song Imperial Palace, thus beginning a life that wou...
Is he from the afterlife?
immortal?
monster?
Or what?
The four people in the field were stunned.
This sentence was obviously beyond their understanding.
In the later technological age, if someone said that they had traveled from hundreds of years in the future, at least everyone would understand what he meant.
However, in ancient times, the concept of science and technology was not yet popular, so the so-called people of the future could only be classified as myths.
It makes people confused.
"To put it simply, a person from the Song Dynasty suddenly appeared in the Han Dynasty."
Zhao Jun explained: "I don't know the reason, maybe it's multidimensional universe, wormholes, quantum mechanics, time travel, or something like that."
So, what are multidimensional universes, wormholes, quantum mechanics, and time travel?
Everyone's face showed a confused expression again.
This question is totally beyond the scope.
Zhang Shixun looked even more demented. He was old and his memory was not very good, and his thinking was sometimes a little confused.
I thought to myself that I have lived for over seventy years and have seen all kinds of scenes.
But the scene in front of me.
He really couldn't organize his chaotic thoughts into a logical thread.
"Anyway, you don't need to understand this. I've read so much popular science about space science, but I still only have a superficial understanding."
Seeing them confused, Zhao Zhen said, "All you need to know is that the eldest grandson is a descendant of the Zhao Dynasty from a thousand years in the future, and he went back a thousand years ago to assist the Song Dynasty. It's just like a descendant of the Liu family today who went back to the end of the Han Dynasty to support the Han Dynasty."
Now they understood.
Li Di was overjoyed and said, "This must be the spirit of Taizu Taizong appearing, bringing the Minister of Justice back a thousand years ago to strengthen our Song Dynasty!"
"Indeed, only the divine presence of Taizu and Taizong could produce such a miracle!"
Jia Changchao also immediately started to flatter him.
The rest of Jiang Tang and Zhang Shixun were dumbfounded. They didn't expect Li Di and Jia Changchao to react so quickly.
Because in their minds, the first thing they both thought was, what nonsense is the official talking about? How could such a thing go against common sense?
However, Li Di and Jia Changchao believed it directly without thinking at all.
Hello.
Are you two so stupid?
Shouldn't we first confirm whether the emperor was joking or simply making up a story to increase Zhao Jun's sacredness and prestige?
"Forehead"
Zhao Jun was at a loss for words and said, "If you think that's okay, then go ahead and think so."
Zhang Shixun hesitated and said, "How can we be convinced by this?"
Lu Yijian said, "We didn't believe it at first, but Han Long appeared out of nowhere in the imperial palace's backyard. Several guards saw him with their own eyes. He also brought many books and items from later times, so there are traces of him."
"Yes, there is no doubt about that. Moreover, Han Long also predicted the founding of Yuan Hao and the Song-Xia War. There was no major war between us and the Liao Kingdom. Instead, the Liao Kingdom threatened to increase its currency, and we gave it to them."
"The hand grenades and artillery were also invented by the Han people. After the invention of gunpowder, the Liao people coveted it, which led to the war. And the Liao people really wanted to increase the currency. You saw it, even though they lost the war, they still wanted to increase the currency by 200,000 strings of cash."
"All we can tell you is that Han Long is a future generation. We were skeptical at first, but now the truth is clear. The Song Dynasty's victory over the Western Xia and Liao dynasties, and the current situation, are all thanks to him."
Yan Shu, Song Shou, Cai Qi, Sheng Du and others were talking at once.
Even Fan Zhongyan admitted that if it were not for Zhao Jun, they would still have suffered three epic defeats at the hands of the Western Xia, and finally signed humiliating terms, and would have been blackmailed by the Liao Kingdom to increase their currency.
Therefore, in the wars with Western Xia and Liao, two points depended on Fan Zhongyan's normal performance, and eight points were attributed to Zhao Jun's anticipation of the enemy, allowing the Song Dynasty to break the deadlock calmly.
"What kind of world will the future be like?"
Jiang Tang was now somewhat convinced. After initially being shocked and skeptical about this great secret, he finally came to his senses and hesitated before asking, "And what will be the end of our Great Song Dynasty?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Wang Zeng coughed and said, "I'll show you the future world when I have the chance. As for our Great Song, it was originally supposed to perish in more than eighty years, after which the people would migrate south. We are currently in the Northern Song Dynasty, and after the migration south, it would become the Southern Song Dynasty."
"What?"
Several people were shocked, and Zhang Shixun was even more surprised, saying, "Could it be that we have finally been defeated by the Liao people?"
In their perception, only the Liao Kingdom could pose a threat to the Song Dynasty.
"no."
Fan Zhongyan shook his head. "It was the Jurchens of the Wanyan tribe in the northeast. Decades later, they rebelled against the Liao Dynasty, eventually destroying it, and then marched south to invade the Song Dynasty."
There were some things he was too embarrassed to tell Jiang Tang, Zhang Shixun and the others, such as Song Huizong's foolish strategy of allying with Jin to destroy Liao, the Song army's massive siege of the remaining Liao troops but being counterattacked and killed outrageously, and the shame of the Jin army's siege of Bianliang, where countless clan women and civilian women were brutally raped.
It's so embarrassing.
"The Jurchens from the Northeast?"
Zhang Shixun wondered, "Are they capable of destroying Liao?"
"Just like no one would have thought that Yelü Abaoji, a chieftain of a small Khitan tribe, could establish the Liao Dynasty."
Zhao Jun said, "Any powerful person or thing started out as a weak force. The Song Dynasty replaced the Later Zhou Dynasty, which in turn replaced the Later Han Dynasty. But didn't Guo Wei, the founder of the Later Zhou Dynasty, also rise from humble beginnings to eventually replace the Later Han Dynasty?"
He did not mention Zhao Kuangyin because Zhao Kuangyin's background was much better. His father and father-in-law were both generals under Guo Wei, which was equivalent to the son and son-in-law of the founding generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, he was much stronger than Guo Wei.
