Pretending to be a tiger and eating a pig is so exciting!
After returning to Funing Palace and closing the bedroom door, Zhao Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled down.
Today I ascended the throne and met with my ministers. The results were quite good. Everything went according to the steps in the plan, and the envisioned goals were basically achieved.
The first step in the mission of a Jedi comeback has been taken.
Zhao Huan always knew that he was not a man of great talent and strategy.
In the words of his grandfather, he has a quick mind, likes to take unconventional approaches, and uses unexpected tricks to achieve his goals.
Zhao Huan thought that taking an unconventional approach was a good idea. Wasn't Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's decision to release military power over a cup of wine just a clever move? As long as it could achieve the goal, it was great wisdom.
The old man often taught him that conspiracies and schemes would not accomplish anything great! A successful entrepreneur cannot always focus on defeating competitors to make more money, but should solve social problems and shoulder social responsibilities, and make money by the way.
The father and son each held their own opinions and often argued. In the end, the old man won by using his pocket money.
After two or three years of careful training by the old man, Zhao Huan, who had a dignified character, was upright, kind-hearted and friendly to others, and won the title of one of the top ten outstanding young people in Yanjing City.
The old man also proudly announced at the board meeting that Zhao Huan was almost qualified to take over his hundreds of billions of assets and could be placed in the position of general manager to train for two years.
Fate played a huge joke on me. When I woke up, the times had changed, my identity had changed, and my job had changed.
Someone in the court lost his position as general manager and could only become an emperor of a fallen country in the Northern Song Dynasty.
If you don’t do it properly, you will die immediately.
Just like the Crown Prince Zhao Huan in this world, when he heard that Song Huizong was going to abdicate and become the emperor, he hit his head against a pillar and died. He would rather die than be the king of a fallen country.
Of course, the difficulty of being an emperor of a fallen country is hellish. The possibility of a comeback is less than 5%. Look:
Family discord: Emperor Huizong is holding him back from above, and Prince Zhao Kai of Yun and Prince Zhao Gou of Kang are trying to steal the family from below.
Outside the imperial court, numerous enemies surrounded him. To the north, there were the Western Xia and the Jin Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty had launched a full-scale attack on the Song Dynasty, with its troops approaching Kaifeng. The Western Xia took advantage of the situation and stationed troops on the border.
In addition, there was the Dali Kingdom in Yunnan, Tubo in Tibet, and small dynasties such as Gaochang, Kucha, Black Khan, Xizhou Uighur, Yellow-headed Uighur, and Khotan in the northwest. They were all assessing the situation. If the Northern Song Dynasty could not resist the Jin Dynasty's offensive, they would at any time turn from allies to opponents.
In the temple, officials are made of rotten wood, and between the steps of the palace, beasts eat the salary, and the people with wolves' hearts and dogs' behavior are in power. The servile and fawning people are in power one after another, causing the country to be in ruins and the people to suffer!
That’s it, how did Zhao Huan turn the tables?
Upright? Upright?
Kind-hearted? Good to others?
Zhao Huan felt that these advantages cultivated by the old man were no different from having handles all over his body in the court?
I'm afraid he won't survive more than three episodes!
But even though it was so difficult, Zhao Huan still wanted to live, because if he died, he would have nothing.
Fighting with the sky, the joy is endless; fighting with the earth, the joy is endless; fighting with people, the joy is also endless!
…………………………………………
At the same time, in Daqing Palace.
After Zhao Huan left, the court was in an uproar.
"Your Majesty, what exactly are you trying to do? You're changing the laws of our ancestors so easily. You're not following the will of Heaven and respecting our ancestors. Do you still want the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues?"
This is conservative!
"The Jin army is invincible. Your Majesty, I wonder whose slander you've listened to. Do you think you can defeat the Jin simply by being determined? The Jin army is as fierce as wolves and tigers. How can the Song army possibly win?"
"Yes, yes, seeking peace is the best policy. We should cede territory and pay compensation, and then slowly make plans after the Jin army retreats. There is still a long way to go!"
This is the peace party!
"Bullshit! Your Majesty has already said that seeking peace is like drinking poison to quench thirst. It is the path to self-destruction. Where does your statement put Your Majesty?"
"If one soldier is a bad soldier, the whole army will be a bad one. Don't compare those guys who only know how to turn their backs on the Jin army with my Zong Ze's troops."
Zong Ze had almost cursed Tong Guan by name, as the two had disliked each other for a long time.
"Yes, and we also have the Northwest Army. We are not afraid of the Jin Army either."
This is the pro-war faction. Although they are small in number, they have seniority and loud voices. In addition, with the strong support of Zhao Huan, they are also quite powerful.
"I won't play with you anymore, Hesheng, Boji, come to my house and have some drinks."
Zong Ze signed his name on the letter of commitment with a flourish of his pen, and then handed it to Shao Chengzhang who was patrolling back and forth in the hall.
Mei Zhili and Li Gang also did it in one go and directly signed their names. They were representatives of the pro-war faction and naturally did not hesitate.
Today was a really great day.
"This court is full of petty and despicable people. It's really boring. I'd rather drink."
“Hahahahahaha…”
Ignoring the contempt from the peace-seeking and conservative factions, more than twenty people in the court followed him out of the Daqing Hall, including Liu Xingwu.
"Grand Master, it is precisely because of Emperor Taizu's policy of respecting culture and suppressing military power, and emphasizing peaceful negotiations, that our Great Song has achieved economic prosperity and a splendid culture. We cannot abandon it simply because of some minor issues concerning the Jin people."
Tang Ke, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, pulled Cai Jing's sleeve and tearfully complained that the military generals had lost their sense of decency and deceived the emperor.
Tang Ke didn't have the courage to criticize the emperor, especially since the rumbling cannon was still parked at the entrance of the hall.
"Look, your Majesty just said something, and these military officers are already getting cocky. We need to persuade your Majesty. The Song Dynasty is ruled by scholars and officials, not crude warriors."
