Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Plates of delicacies were served in front of Zhao Zicheng, but Zhao Zicheng's hands trembled, and he couldn't hold the chopsticks steady at this moment!

This is because he is too excited, too excited, and will soon become an emperor, so his hands are shaking.

"Okay, I'm not very hungry, so I don't need to eat breakfast." Zhao Zicheng said with chattering teeth.

The servants of the Yang residence who were serving him all nodded their heads, these servants took the food down, not to mention that.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious day has arrived. My ministers Yang Shi, Li Tong, Luo Congyan, Lin Lingsu and others please change your majesty's clothes." At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Okay! Please come in quickly!" Zhao Zicheng said hastily.

When the door of the room was opened, Yang Shi, Li Tong, Luo Congyan, Lin Lingsu and others were standing in front of Zhao Zicheng. Yang Shi was holding a red plate in his hand, on which was a pair of dragon robes. .

After seeing the dragon robe, Zhao Zicheng's lips were a little dry, and his eyes turned slightly red.

"Come here, wait for His Majesty to change clothes!" Yang Shi beckoned at that moment, and several maids came in immediately.

The maids helped Zhao Zicheng into the inner room, and helped Zhao Zicheng put on the dragon robe.

After Zhao Zicheng put on the dragon robe, he walked out from the inner room. He was so excited that he couldn't stop dancing.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and I still need to ask the empress and His Royal Highness to change their clothes! After the two of them have changed their clothes, we will go to the Taimiao together." Yang Shi said.

The so-called empress is Zhao Zicheng's wife, and His Royal Highness is Zhao Zicheng's only son Zhao Bocong, the Song Xiaozong in history.

"What did you say? What did you say? I didn't hear clearly." Zhao Zicheng shouted while dancing and his eyes were dim.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Li Tong, Luo Congyan and others beside him were all taken aback.

"Look at me!" Yang Shi frowned and strode up.

Snapped!

Hearing a crisp sound, Yang Shi slapped Zhao Zicheng's face fiercely. Zhao Zicheng finally came to his senses. He looked around in confusion and said, "What's wrong?"

There was a red slap mark on his face, and the servants and maids around him were smiling but not smiling, while Yang Shi said: "Come on, wait for the empress and His Royal Highness to change clothes immediately!"

Soon, Zhao Zicheng's wife and son also put on their own clothes.

The clothes of Zhao Zicheng's wife are light yellow, with dragon and phoenix embroidered with auspiciousness on it, and precious jade hanging on it, which is very beautiful. As for Zhao Bocong, he was wearing the clothes of the prince of the Song Dynasty, with four golden dragons embroidered on it, but this is a small prince's clothes, which are also very close-fitting.

After putting on these clothes, Zhao Zicheng's wife and son also showed excited expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, the world is in great turmoil today, and the country cannot live without a king, so the officials and others can only persuade His Majesty to ascend the throne as soon as possible! Time is running short, and the etiquette is inevitably incomplete. Please forgive your sins! We will make up for those etiquettes after His Majesty is truly enthroned. Come on, let officials from all over the country come to pay homage to His Majesty!" Yang Shi said.

"Okay, I know all of this." Zhao Zicheng said.

"In this case, please go to the Taimiao, Your Majesty. After you get there, sacrifice your ancestors, and then your Majesty can go to the Imperial Palace and formally ascend the throne in the Imperial Palace." Yang Shi said.

"Okay!" Zhao Zicheng nodded.

The sky had just dawned, and a red glow appeared in the east. At this moment, Zhao Zicheng's family of three sat in a huge carriage, and the carriage started slowly, heading towards the Taimiao.

In front of the carriage was led by more than ten soldiers, followed by Yang Shi, Li Tong, Luo Congyan, Lin Lingsu and others. Besides them, there were also some officials and people from the Jianghu. Everyone was very excited at the moment. When Zhao Zicheng came to the throne, they were all heroes of the dragon and had the merit of supporting them. The new emperor would never treat them badly.

"After Qinhuang's treasure, many people in the righteous way of Wulin died at the hands of the brutal Emperor Xuanwu. Now we are relying on the power of the imperial court to make the righteous way of Wulin grow again! It's a pity that Shaolin Temple is too far away from here, otherwise Shaolin Temple should be let Also send people to attend the new emperor's enthronement!" Lin Lingsu secretly said.

These many people added up, and the number exceeded three hundred people.

Originally, the carriage carrying the new emperor should have made a detour in Lin'an City, but Yang Shi was worried about an accident, so in order to let the new emperor ascend the throne earlier, he headed straight for the Taimiao.

Only a quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Taimiao.

At this moment, there were hundreds of people waiting at the gate of the Taimiao. When they saw the carriage coming, these hundreds of people knelt down one after another and said long live.

These people were also the ministers of the court and the officials of Lin'an Mansion. All the six ministers came here except the minister of officials, all the servants of the six ministers also came here, and countless people from the Ministry of Zhongshu and the Privy Council also came here.

"Weichen waits to see His Majesty!" Hundreds of people shouted together, and the momentum was not small.

Zhao Zicheng had already got off the carriage at this moment. He was extremely excited at first, but now seeing so many people kneeling there and hearing the voices of these people shouting in unison, his face turned pale and he was at a loss.

"Your Majesty, you should let them die." Seeing Zhao Zicheng's appearance, Yang Shi was overjoyed. He thought to himself that the new emperor really didn't have the qualities of an emperor, and it was too easy to control such an emperor. Zhao Zicheng reminded in his ear.

"Mr. Yang said, get back on your feet quickly." Zhao Zicheng said in a very low voice.

However, there were still a few ministers in front who heard Zhao Zicheng's voice, and when they heard the words "Mr. Yang said", those ministers were all stunned.

"Quickly flatten your body!" Zhao Zicheng said at a loss.

This time his voice was much louder, and finally the ministers in front stood up, and the ministers behind also stood up one after another.

"Your Majesty, please enter the Taimiao to worship the ancestors!" Yang Shi said.

Zhao Zicheng nodded. He took his wife and son into the Taimiao, and several important ministers followed.

In the Taimiao, the ancestors of the Zhao and Song royal families are worshipped. There are statues of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizong, and other emperors, except of course Zhao Gou and Zhao Chen. Their "statues" are also Not included in the Taimiao. Zhao Zicheng's ascension to the throne was really too hasty, and Yang Shi couldn't think of that much.

"Emperor Taizu, this is the true ancestor of my Zhao Zicheng! Emperor Taizong is only his younger brother, and the rest of the emperors are also descendants of Taizong! After hundreds of years, the throne of the Song Dynasty has finally passed to our Taizu In the hands of Yimai!" Zhao Zicheng knelt down in front of Song Taizu's sitting statue, feeling extremely excited.

Throughout the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, for more than 160 years, except for Song Taizu, the rest were all descendants of Taizong's lineage to inherit the throne, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, except for Zhao Gou, the rest were Taizu's descendants. Of course, history is never the same now.

"Bless my ancestors, let my throne be safe and secure! Let me, Zhao Zicheng, enjoy the glory and wealth, and let me have many children and grandchildren! By the way, I became the emperor, and I can have a harem of three thousand. It's so good, so good It's already..." Thinking about it, he actually drooled, with a lewd expression on his face.

Seeing Zhao Zicheng's appearance, Yang Shi coughed at the side, and Zhao Zicheng's gaze became straight again.

"Your Majesty, late will cause chaos, we must rush to the palace as soon as possible!" Yang Shi said.

"Okay! Go to the palace earlier, and I can be the emperor sooner! Let's go, let's go now!" Zhao Zicheng stood up suddenly, and said.

He completely disregarded etiquette, even if he left, he still had to pray to his ancestors, but he just stood up like this!

Yang Shi, Li Tong, and Luo Congyan next to him are all great Confucianists in the south of the Yangtze River, and Confucianism is the most important about "rituals". However, the three of them stood up without saying a word.

"Come here, send Your Majesty to the car! Let's go to the palace!" Yang Shi came to the gate of the Taimiao and said loudly.

*** ***

The carriage moved forward slowly, and there were still a dozen soldiers in front.

These soldiers are actually some yamen servants from Lin'an Prefecture who put on military uniforms and pretend to be soldiers temporarily. Before Yang Shi looked for Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, but unfortunately they were not willing to help him at all. Even if they want to transfer some soldiers from the neighboring state capital, it is too late now.

Walking on the road, Yang Shi felt a little uneasy.

He knew that there were soldiers and horses under Zhao Chen in the palace, and he didn't know if those soldiers and horses would give way. At the beginning, he was very confident, but now that he is almost at the palace, he is no longer confident.

"May God bless Your Majesty, bless Da Song, everything is safe and sound!" Yang Shi secretly said.

Zhao Zicheng was sitting in the carriage, but he was extremely excited. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the palace, he fainted again from excitement and excitement! At this moment his son took out a small sachet from his bosom, and suddenly a spicy smell came out from the sachet. After smelling this smell, Zhao Zicheng sneezed and woke up.

"Father, we are coming to the gate of the palace, you have to cheer up." Zhao Bocong smiled at Zhao Zicheng.

"Okay! Daddy understands! No, it's Emperor Father who understands! From now on, you can't call me Daddy anymore, you have to call me Emperor Father!" Zhao Zicheng shouted.

"Cong'er understands." Zhao Bocong was stunned and said.

"What Cong'er, you will call yourself a minister from now on!" Zhao Zicheng shouted again.

"Yes." Zhao Bocong could only nod his head.

Zhao Zicheng was extremely excited at the moment, he felt the blood in his whole body was flowing rapidly, he felt his heart beating fast out of his throat, his whole body was trembling from feet to head. A feeling of dizziness came, and he hurriedly supported the carriage.

"Your Majesty, the palace has arrived, please get off your majesty!" At this moment, Yang Shi's voice came from outside.

"Good! Good!" Zhao Zicheng nodded.

He got out of the car, but almost fell, and someone beside him was already supporting him.

"Your Majesty, please enter the palace to inherit the throne!" Yang Shi said.

Now Zhao Zicheng felt as if he was in a dream or in a cloud, his thoughts seemed to have left his body, he was walking forward with the support of others, completely involuntary.

Behind him, Yang Shi, Li Tong, Luo Congyan and other great Confucian scholars and disciples of Confucianism from the south of the Yangtze River followed him into the palace, and officials from the six ministries also followed him into the palace. Entered the palace.

"Hmph! It seems that the old man's guess is indeed correct. Emperor Xuanwu's subordinates are strong outsiders, and when they heard the new emperor ascended the throne, they didn't dare to stop them! They opened the door by themselves! Haha, these useless things!" Yang Shi looked at him at the moment. Looking around, with a sneer on his face, he said.

"They are warriors! The most incompetent people in this world are warriors! It's not without reason that I am respected and inferior to martial arts in Song Dynasty! Seeing that they have no integrity, it can be seen!" Li Tong nodded beside him.

Zhao Zicheng looked at the palaces in front of him at this moment, his lips were dry, and he couldn't speak a word.

He was originally extremely excited, but at this moment his face turned pale in an instant! He had never seen so many grand buildings before, and he was frightened all of a sudden!

"Your Majesty?" Yang Shi reminded softly.

"Okay, get on the throne quickly, get on the throne quickly." Zhao Zicheng murmured.

Lin Lingsu was walking towards the inside. He had a smile on his face, but gradually the smile became less and less, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He is a top master in the Jianghu, known as the number one martial artist, his internal strength is extremely advanced, and his hearing is also excellent. At this moment, he faintly felt countless breathing sounds around him!

"Not good!" Lin Lingsu yelled suddenly.

Just as he yelled, countless soldiers in black armor rushed out of the palace in front of him.
