Lawless in Great Song

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...

Chapter 63 You don’t want the Han people to become slaves, do you?

After all, the Zhao family’s ancestor was an emperor.

Seeing that his mood was gradually recovering, Yan Shu said, "Why don't you go see the emperor?"

"No."

Zhao Jun replied lazily.

"Why?"

"I was born in New China and grew up under the red flag. I'm not used to kowtow to the emperor of the backward and corrupt feudal society of ancient times."

"Compared to later generations, our era is indeed backward, but our Song Dynasty is not the Qing Dynasty where people call themselves slaves and kneel at will. When meeting the emperor, we only need to bow and salute, not kowtow."

"I don't want to go then."

"Why?"

"You just want to use me to help you improve your productivity. Why should I help you?"

"After all, the Song Dynasty was founded by your ancestors. Even if you find it disgusting, how can one betray their ancestors?"

Yan Shu had already learned a lot about later events from Zhao Jun. He rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, you wouldn't want the Song Dynasty to perish and be replaced by the Mongols and the Qing Dynasty, leaving the Han people relegated to the lower classes. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to help your ancestors and change the fate of the Han people?"

"Forehead"

Zhao Jun was speechless for a moment.

This time I really got hold of his weak spot.

Although they hate the Song Dynasty, compared with the Qing Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is naturally stronger in terms of identity recognition.

After all, the Song Dynasty was not only an orthodox Han dynasty, but also his ancestor.

In later generations, there were always conspiracy theorists who spread rumors about the bloodline of ancient Han emperors, saying things like "Xianbei Tang, Shatuo Song, Huihui Ming" to belittle the orthodoxy of the Han people.

But according to DNA testing, the founders of the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties were actually all genuine Han Chinese. Li Shimin had only one-eighth of Hu ancestry, and his ancestry was as high as seven-eighths Han.

As for Zhao Kuang, his ancestors were relatives of the Shang Dynasty. As early as the Xia and Shang Dynasties, he belonged to the Chinese nation and was an orthodox descendant of the Han people.

This line of family genetic markers accounts for 1.58 of Chinese men and is widely distributed in the bloodline of the entire Han Chinese nation. It is one of the main sources of Han genes.

In later generations, this family genetic marker was detected in groups with the surname Zhao in a large number of southern provinces. This shows that many descendants of the Zhao family originated from this genetic marker and were of the same clan as the Zhao Kuang family during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Zhao Jun's village is the direct descendant of the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty. They once did a joint history and anthropology project with a university, and extracted DNA from the tombs of the Zhao family relatives of the Song Dynasty, which finally proved that everyone in their village is the descendant of Zhao Kuang, and there is also a family tree to prove it.

So although he hated the Song Dynasty, Zhao Jun actually hated those who spread rumors that the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties were not the orthodox dynasties of the Han people.

If there are Han people among these people who foolishly believe and follow the rumormongers to spread the rumors, they are worse than animals and their hearts should be killed.

Now I have traveled to the Song Dynasty, but no matter what, the Song Dynasty is an orthodox dynasty of the Han people. Compared with the Mongols and the Qing Dynasty, which treated the Han people as slaves, the feeling is naturally different.

After all, he is also a Han Chinese!

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Jun finally looked up to the sky and sighed, "Okay, but I have some requirements."

In the end, he couldn't refuse this reason.
