Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

The Imperial City Department became the most feared existence in Bianjing City. It supervised all officials and made those scholars feel uncomfortable, especially those who had done something wrong.

Many civil servants resigned one after another. They did not want to work for the court that did not favor scholars.

Zhao Xi agreed on the spot, but...

"Okay, I will let the Imperial City Department investigate your previous actions. Those who have no problems can go home and retire. Those who have problems will be settled first."

Zhao Xi's words completely blocked the retreat of these scholars and forced them to rebel.

If this continues, everyone will be finished.

The scholars began to contact the counties below, asking the officials there to force the local people to rebel, thereby distracting the attention of the government.

These people did not know that the people of the Imperial City Department were watching the whole country, and their every move had long been seen by Kawakami Tomie.

Under the management of Kawakami Tomie, the Imperial City Division was a terrifying existence that combined the Jinyiwei, the East Factory, the West Factory and the Inner Factory. It was not only an expert in monitoring the country, but also had countless assassination experts.

Often, the Imperial City Division would take action before the officials below could do anything.

The civil servants in Bianjing City had no choice but to use the few troops they had in their hands to launch a coup to occupy the palace, and even contacted the commander of the imperial guards.

Everything went smoothly. Seeing that the door of the palace was opened, the civil servant group was overjoyed. This time it worked, and they must replace a cowardly person as the emperor.

The happiness of the civil servants did not last long. The door of the palace was indeed opened, but the imperial guards rushed out from inside.

"This is impossible!!"

Chen Xi led the army to fight against the Liao Kingdom on the border, and the shadow guard led 10,000 imperial guards back to Bianjing to ambush. Everything was a pit dug by Zhao Xi, waiting for these restless people to jump in.

It is no longer the era when aristocratic families monopolized knowledge. The imperial examination provided a large number of talents to the court, not to mention that the Song Dynasty had the drawback of redundant officials.

This wave of purges just vacated a lot of positions for the lower officials to take over.

Zhao Xi was educated by Kawakami Tomie since he was a child. He was too lazy to play any political games. Compromise was not his style. He only believed that power came from the barrel of a gun.

The Liao Kingdom also received news from Bianjing. They knew that they had miscalculated. The new emperor of the Song Dynasty was tougher and more capable than they thought.

Seeing that continuing to fight would not get any good, the Liao Kingdom decisively withdrew its troops and sent an envoy to Bianjing to start peace talks.

Zhao Xi used the excuse that the Liao Kingdom's attack seriously hurt the feelings of the people of the two countries. In order to make up for his psychological trauma, the Song Dynasty would not pay the previous annual tribute.

The Liao Kingdom's envoys were so angry that they began to threaten in the court.

Zhao Xi scratched his ears nonchalantly: "Ah... I'm listening. If you want to fight, then fight."

Envoy of Liao: (⊙o⊙)

Is he so tough?

To be honest, the envoys of Liao were all wondering if Zhao Xi was a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty. Could the Zhao royal family give birth to such a person?

Soon, the envoys of Liao understood where the emperor of the Song Dynasty got his confidence from, because of Marquis Anping.

The Liao Dynasty wanted to eat Marquis Anping alive, but they also admired him very much. He was really good at fighting. He blocked the attack of the Liao cavalry despite not having superior military strength, military type, or even individual strength.

Not only that, in many battles, Marquis Anping could make the Liao Dynasty suffer a lot.

The best way given by the court of Liao to deal with Marquis Anping was to sow discord, so that the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty would be suspicious of each other, and Zhao Xi could deal with Marquis Anping without them sending troops.

They did so, which led to Zhao Xi starting a purge in the court.

Now the Liao Kingdom had no way to deal with Anping Hou, and could only comfort themselves, thinking that Anping Hou would definitely be more powerful than the emperor, and they just needed to wait quietly.

Zhao Xi's attitude was like this. There would definitely be no annual tribute. The two countries would cease fighting and could engage in trade, which he had no objection to.

Of course, if the Liao Kingdom still wanted to continue fighting, then let it fight. I believe that Anping Hou would be willing to teach Liao a lesson.

The Liao Kingdom envoy left Bianjing helplessly. He was worried that he would be killed by the emperor if he returned with such an agreement.

The Liao Kingdom withdrew its troops, and they were waiting for Anping Hou to get into trouble. As long as Anping Hou was gone, no one in the Song Dynasty could stop them.

The idea was good, but the first thing Anping Hou did when he returned to Beijing was to hand over his military power. He was so honest that he didn't feel any reluctance, and he didn't even care about the emperor's personal army.

The Liao Kingdom's monarchs and ministers were so angry that their teeth itched. This Anping Hou was poisonous. Do you really have no ambition at all?

When you fought us, you were able to fight two people at once. Why are you so cowardly after returning to the court?

Chen Xi grew up with Zhao Xi, and with Kawakami Tomie helping him out and handing over his military power, Zhao Xi would not be afraid of Marquis Anping.

Zhao Xi didn't even have to worry about the problem of being overwhelmed by his achievements. Not only Marquis Anping had achievements, but he also had them.

The monarch and his subjects took different paths. Marquis Anping had many military achievements, while Zhao Xi, as the emperor, had made remarkable political achievements and issued many policies that benefited the country and the people. He had a very high prestige in the eyes of the people.

Such an emperor didn't worry about his subjects being overwhelmed by his achievements, and no one could surpass him.

After returning to the capital, Chen Xi held a wedding with Liu Yue'e as soon as possible, and then began to live a rotten life, not attending court unless necessary.

Having to get up before dawn to attend court, do you really think this is a good thing?

If you have that time, Chen Xi might as well hug Liu Yue'e and sleep until he wakes up naturally.

It should be said that Liu Yue'e is really fragrant. I could only look at pictures before, but now I can finally experience it myself.

If there is anything wrong, it is too lush.

At the Sheng family, Chen Xi also visited Lin Qinshuang, but Sheng Changfeng, who had always wanted to slap him in the face, avoided him. How could he have the face to see Anping Hou.

Three years later, Sheng Changfeng got rid of his intern status and went to the Ministry of Rites to be an official, but he was no longer worth a penny as a civil servant, not to mention that Anping Hou had made great contributions to conquering Xixia.

After Zhao Xi came to power, there was no longer any saying that civil officials were more important than military officials, and civil and military officials were equally important.

All the preferential treatment for literati and officials was gone.

The ancestors were afraid that the literati and officials would not support them, and they were also afraid that the historians would write nonsense, but Zhao Xi was not afraid.

Even if the historians wrote him as a tyrant, he didn't care. As long as he could recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, he would be the emperor of the Song Dynasty's rejuvenation. No one could erase his merits.

Liu Shenxia followed Chen Xi in the war for three years and obtained a fourth-rank military position. He married Yu Yanran in a grand manner and the couple was very happy after marriage.

Sheng Rulan and Sheng Minglan also got married. There were no changes in their marriages and everything went smoothly.

Sheng Hong is now the Minister of Personnel. After the Minister of Personnel retires, he will be the next Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel.

After the national mourning ended, Zhao Xi no longer had to deliberately use contraception. With his love for Sheng Molan, pregnancy was a matter of time.

The queen completely fell out of favor. It was not because she did anything wrong, but because her grandfather stood on the wrong side and followed those civil officials to make trouble. Afterwards, the whole family was exiled. The three clans were not executed because of the queen's face.

The queen was really good to Zhao Xi, and she was sincere. Zhao Xi couldn't bear to depose her, so let it be.

Such a queen was just a mascot, a decoration in the harem, and she didn't even have the right to manage the harem.

Zhao Xi was also afraid that the queen would persecute the heirs. Now the one who managed the harem was Sheng Molan, who had become a concubine.

Zhao Xi would definitely not let the queen give birth to an heir. Even if Sheng Molan, the concubine, was an invisible queen, the prince she gave birth to was equivalent to a legitimate son.

Kawakami Tomie had been helping Sheng Molan regulate her body. It can be said that she was very healthy and had no problem giving birth to a bunch of children.

Kawakami Tomie also taught Sheng Molan the physiological knowledge related to the ovulation period. With the exact date, Zhao Xi spoiled her for three consecutive days, and she got pregnant so easily.

Not only Sheng Molan was pregnant, but Liu Yue'e was also pregnant. The women in Bianjing were waiting to see her joke.

Doesn't the Anping Marquis's Mansion advocate "a lifetime of one couple"? Now that you are pregnant, it depends on whether you want to arrange a concubine and a maid for the Anping Marquis.

If Liu Yue'e doesn't arrange, she is jealous and her reputation will be completely ruined.

In fact, Liu Yue'e would rather ruin her reputation than arrange other women for Chen Xi.

Chen Xi doesn't care. He has long known what "The Lion Roars in the East" is like and has made psychological preparations.

Even Chen Xi took the blame on himself and publicized that it was not Liu Yue'e who didn't arrange, but that he was not interested in other women.

Hearing this news, the jealous women almost crushed their handkerchiefs. Why can't they meet such a good man.

Chen Xi, who is regarded as a good man by all the women in Bianjing, certainly has his own channel for venting. Kawakami Tomie is still there.

Liu Yue'e was so moved that she had no idea about what happened between Chen Xi and Kawakami Tomie. After all, she couldn't imagine that a woman would be willing to follow another man for nothing, without a name or children.

After the Song Dynasty took back Xixia, it began to train its own war horses. Once it had enough cavalry, it would gallop across the grassland.

The problem of redundant officials was solved, and then there were redundant soldiers. Unnecessary organizations were disbanded, the military system was changed, and then the soldiers were trained.

The place for training soldiers was found, Dali Kingdom.

Waves of Song soldiers began to train in Dali Kingdom, and they were not in a hurry to destroy Dali Kingdom, but just beat it in various ways.

Dali Kingdom wanted to cry but had no tears. It wanted to apply to become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Xi refused. He didn't have the concept of a vassal state in his cognition.

Keep fighting!

The Song Dynasty's army trained in Dali Kingdom for three years, and was beaten to pieces by Dali Kingdom. There were not many men left in the country, and they were all widows.

The royal family of Dali was about to flee, but was caught by the Song Dynasty navy, which had been prepared for a long time.

You have harmed the men of the entire Dali Kingdom, and now you want to run away?

It's too late!

The Song Dynasty declared the Duan family of Dali Kingdom a war criminal, and sentenced them to extermination for harming the entire country for their own selfishness.

The destruction of the Dali Kingdom frightened the small countries in Southeast Asia to submit their loyalty and pay tribute every year.

There was also a Liao Kingdom overhead, and Zhao Xi could not take care of Southeast Asia for the time being, so he simply agreed that those small countries would become vassal states of the Song Dynasty.

Under Zhao Xi's governance, the Song Dynasty had a strong army, the Ministry of Industry continued to develop various war weapons, and produced many excellent war horses.

Just like playing a game, as long as there is enough money, the military will develop sooner or later.

The Song Dynasty is not short of money, and everything is possible with money.

In the tenth year of Zhao Xi's accession to the throne, the Song Dynasty launched the Northern Expedition and appointed Chen Xi, the Marquis of Anping, as the commander-in-chief. This battle was not only to conquer the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but also to destroy the Liao Kingdom.

This war lasted for three years. Chen Xi advanced northward step by step. He wanted not only to destroy the Liao Dynasty, but also to stabilize the local people's hearts and make the locals recognize and accept the rule of the Song Dynasty.

After the demise of the Liao Dynasty, Chen Xi began to fight in the northeast and the peninsula, and wiped out the Jurchens in one fell swoop. He didn't wait for the other party to establish the Jin Dynasty, but directly destroyed it.

There was nothing to say about the peninsula. Chen Xi directly issued a massacre order. Either become a slave of the Song Dynasty people, or the country will be destroyed.

Neon can't take care of it for the time being, and the tribes on the grassland are beginning to stir again.

Zhao Xi wants to surpass Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is true that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has made great achievements, but he also emptied the treasury of the Han Dynasty, which is something Zhao Xi doesn't want to see.

Zhao Xi doesn't want to leave a mess for his descendants. He wants territory and money.

Therefore, the expansion of the Song Dynasty was slow and firm. There was no war, and it was within the acceptable range before it began to expand a little bit.

At Chen Xi's suggestion, the Song Dynasty opened a royal military academy. As batches of officers graduated, the territory of the Song Dynasty became larger and larger.

Yingwei led the army to the east to Neon, just because Zhao Xi heard that there were gold and silver mines there.

Chen Xi led the army across the grassland, beating the tribes of the grassland to flee in panic. Do you still want to unite?

I will beat you even if we unite!

Especially the Qiyan tribe, Chen Xi issued an order to exterminate the entire grassland, not allowing a single person from the Qiyan tribe to survive.

He wanted to see how Temujin was born.

Other generals led the army south to occupy the small countries in Southeast Asia, just for the local land, which was suitable for growing food.

After all, the population in ancient times was limited. After obtaining a large enough territory, the Song Dynasty stopped expanding and began to concentrate on operating and consolidating the territory, using education to change the thoughts of the people in the occupied areas, so that everyone would identify with the Chinese culture.

The territory of the Song Dynasty was not as exaggerated as that of the Yuan Dynasty, but the stability of the regime was incomparable to that of the Yuan Dynasty.

Compared with the westward march of Mongolia, the Song Dynasty went southward more. However, the Song Dynasty did not occupy the country of Asan, but just beat them up.

For this reason, Asan expressed strong condemnation. Why did you beat us but not occupy us? Are you discriminating against us?

Zhao Xi: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Why do I occupy your territory? Is it fertilizer everywhere?

The eldest son born by Zhao Xi and Sheng Molan was made the crown prince, Chen Xi was promoted to the Duke of Anguo, and the Sheng family was also full of powerful people.

As Zhao Xi got older, the Duke of Anguo Chen Xi died of illness (returned), and the deputy general Chen Wei was buried alive with him, which made Zhao Xi, who was already afraid, completely let down his guard. Instead, he felt sorry for the children left by Chen Xi and Liu Yue'e.

Kawakami Tomie had already faked his death and escaped.

Zhao Xi became the emperor of the Song Dynasty's rejuvenation, and was even called the greatest emperor of all time. The Duke of Anguo Chen Xi and others were also recorded in the history books and will be remembered forever.

Oh, by the way, there is also a Shi Jingtang, who was made into a statue kneeling there, and was forever despised by the world.
