Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The palace system is different. Although Zhao Chen is the prince, he has to go through layers of notifications if he wants to see his "father"!

He asked to see Song Qinzong in the morning, and it was not until the afternoon that he was led by a chief eunuch to the Funing Hall where Song Qinzong was located, where he met his father.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he really met Song Qinzong!

The ancients got married earlier, Song Qinzong had a prince at the age of 17, Zhao Chen is now 10 years old, and Song Qinzong is less than 30 years old. At this moment, Zhao Chen was secretly looking at Song Qinzong. He saw that Song Qinzong was tall, but thin, with a pale complexion and dim eyes. He was obviously not in good health.

"I have seen my father!" Zhao Chen knelt down and saluted respectfully!

Even a prince needs to kneel down and worship the emperor when he sees the emperor. This is etiquette! Zhao Chen has been in the palace for many days, and he has learned the most basic etiquette at least.

"It turned out to be Chen'er. Hurry up and get flat. You just stay aside. Master Zhang and I have important matters to discuss!" Song Qinzong Zhao Huan said.

It was only then that Zhao Chen discovered that there was another person in the Palace of Funing. This person was over forty years old, a little short, tall and fat, and he was wearing a vermilion official robe. He turned out to be a first-rank minister! This person's appearance gave people an extremely wretched feeling, with fat on his face and a flattering smile on his face, Zhao Chen frowned secretly when he saw it.

"My minister, Zhang Bangchang, has seen His Highness the Crown Prince!" The minister in his forties bowed to Zhao Chen and saluted.

Hearing the word "Zhang Bangchang", Zhao Chen couldn't help being taken aback! This piece of Bangchang can be regarded as a famous figure in history, he was a famous interphase in the late Northern Song Dynasty!

"So it's this minister!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

Zhao Huan and Zhang Bangchang had an important matter to discuss, so Zhao Chen could only stand aside and listen to their conversation secretly.

Zhang Bangchang took out a piece of paper and put it in front of Zhao Huan. Zhao Chen glanced at it and found that it was a map, and it turned out to be the palace of Song Dynasty on it.

"Your Majesty, look at the north of the palace, there is still a large piece of land here! Now the people living here are some peasants, no clans, and no ministers! We can expel these peasants and expand the palace here!" Zhang Bangchang said .

Zhao Chen was taken aback again, he didn't expect Zhao Huan and Zhang Bangchang to discuss the expansion of the palace here.

"Will these ordinary people make trouble?" Zhao Huan asked.

"Your Majesty, it's just a group of common people. How dare they make trouble? At worst, let's take some gold and silver from the treasury to appease these common people!" Zhang Bangchang said.

Zhao Huan nodded.

"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne. In addition to expanding the palace, the harem also needs to be enriched! Now, Your Majesty, you only have the crown prince as an heir. In case... in case the prince has an accident, who will the Great Song Dynasty pass on to? So the harem Enrichment is imperative! This autumn, the imperial court will conduct drafts all over the country, and choose the best to enter the harem!" Zhang Bangchang said again.

Zhao Huan nodded again.

Zhao Chen had been listening to the two talking. He couldn't bear it any longer when he heard this, and suddenly said: "Father, Master Zhang, is it time to expand the palace and the harem?"

The Jin soldiers are about to go south, and the disaster of destroying the country is about to happen. The monarch and prime minister of a country are actually discussing the expansion of the palace and the expansion of the harem. Zhao Chen is unbelievable!

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was also staying there at the moment. In his impression, the prince had always been submissive, and he didn't speak at all on weekdays. Moreover, the prince understood etiquette quite well. Usually, the prince would never interrupt others! He also got news this morning that the prince had gradually recovered his memory. Now it seems that the situation is a bit weird! The prince recovered his memory, but why did his temperament change?

"Chen'er, why is now not the time to expand the imperial palace and harem?" Zhao Huan said.

"Father, Lord Zhang, the Jurchens are ambitious and may go south at any time! They went south to surround Kaifeng last year. If they go south again this year, how should we deal with it?" Zhao Chen said.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Huan was even more surprised! In the past, Zhao Chen never cared about the affairs of his family and country. Imagine a ten-year-old child, how could he care? What happened to Zhao Chen today?

"The last time the gold soldiers went south, didn't they still retreat in the end? The gold soldiers went south just for some gold and silver! Last time we gave them enough gold and silver, this time they won't go south again!" Zhang Bangchang shook his head and said .

"The golden soldiers retreated not because we gave them enough gold and silver, but because they were short of troops at that time, so they retreated! If the golden soldiers go south again, they must be fully prepared, and they must be the soldiers of the whole country. Come on, when the time comes, the whole of Kaifeng is in danger of being conquered, and the whole of the Central Plains may be occupied by the Jin soldiers! At that time, both my father and I will die!" Zhao Chen looked at Zhang Bangchang and said coldly.

"Chen'er, you are really worrying too much! Mr. Zhang said rightly just now that the gold soldiers went south for only gold and silver! If they go south again, we will give them some more gold and silver at worst! Don't worry!" Zhao Huan said.

"Father, the Jin soldiers going south will definitely destroy our Great Song Dynasty. How can I not be worried?" Zhao Chen said loudly.

"You are a ten-year-old child, what do you know?" Zhao Huan frowned and said.

"Father, think twice!" Zhao Chen said anxiously.

"Come on, take the prince down!"

Zhao Huan waved his hand, and immediately saw two guards running over. These two guards grabbed Zhao Chen's arms and dragged Zhao Chen out of Funing Hall.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is young, how can he understand these state affairs?" Zhang Bangchang said slowly when he saw Zhao Chen being taken out by the guards in Funing Hall.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Huan asked with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, I think someone must have instigated the prince to say these ridiculous words!" Zhang Bangchang sneered.

"Someone instigated the prince? Who could it be? The prince seldom contacts ministers... Could it be Li Ruoshui?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise.

Li Ruoshui is the upright middle-aged man that Zhao Chen saw when he first came to this era. He was originally the prince's teacher, but because he frightened the prince and caused the prince to lose his memory, he was demoted to Luoyang order.

This Li Ruoshui is also a famous figure in history, but unlike Zhang Bangchang, he is a famous loyal minister in history!

It can be said that Li Ruoshui represents the integrity of ancient literati, and he interprets the word integrity with his life.

"Your Majesty, it must be Li Ruoshui who instigated the prince to say such ridiculous things! Li Ruoshui must be severely punished!" At the moment in the Song Palace, Zhang Bangchang was constantly encouraging Song Qinzong to punish Li Ruoshui.

"Forget it, this person is no longer the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, now he is just a mere Luoyang magistrate! A county magistrate, what a shame, there is no need to punish him!" Song Qinzong shook his head and said.

The status of literati in the Song Dynasty was relatively high, and the kings of the Song Dynasty also valued literati. During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no tradition of killing literati. It is already an extreme punishment for a civil official to be demoted from the official minister to the county magistrate. Song Qinzong felt that there was no need to punish him any more! Zhang Bangchang and Li Ruoshui had always been at odds, but thinking that Li Ruoshui was now the county magistrate, he no longer took him seriously.

As for the prince's "abnormal performance", both of them were attributed to Li Ruoshui!

*****

The sun was setting and the warm wind was blowing. Zhao Chen was walking on the road to the palace.

He raised his eyes and saw green hills faintly in the distance, surrounded by countless palaces and attics! The entire imperial palace is extremely magnificent, not only the imperial palace, but the entire Kaifeng city is extremely magnificent.

The Song Dynasty was the most economically developed dynasty, and Kaifeng was the most prosperous city in the world in this era. With a population of one million, the scenery is beautiful and the city walls are magnificent. The ancient Han civilization also reached its peak in this era.

In the imperial palace, there are countless maids, concubines, and princesses haunting it! Walking on the road to the palace, Zhao Chen kept hearing the sound of dancing, and kept seeing those beautiful girls who were dancing!

Looking at everything in front of him, Zhao Chen suddenly felt absurd, and a poem came to his mind.

"When will the West Lake dance and dance stop? The warm wind makes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is called Bianzhou!"

This poem was written by the poet Lin Sheng during the Southern Song Dynasty!

The Jurchens rose between the white mountains and the black waters. In ten years, they were invincible and invincible! Under the leadership of Jurchen's unrivaled hero Wanyan Aguda, they wiped out the Liao Kingdom, once the most powerful country in East Asia, in just ten years. The territory of the Liao Kingdom was completely occupied by the Jurchens!

Now that the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, the Jurchen's south is the Song Dynasty, and they may go south to destroy the Song Dynasty at any time! Faced with such a situation, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were not thinking about how to deal with the Jin soldiers, but how to expand the palace and the harem! In the entire imperial palace and the entire Kaifeng city, both the ministers and the common people were indulging in the "prosperous scenery", and no one was worried that the Jin soldiers going south would completely destroy everything in front of them!

"I am no longer an ordinary senior high school student, I am Prince Jingkang! When the Song Dynasty destroyed the country, ordinary people may be able to survive. I, Prince Jingkang, will not escape death! I must find a way to escape from here!" Zhao Chen secretly the way.
