Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Wang De stayed in Jujing Garden, while Zhao Chen followed the eunuchs and ran towards Funing Hall.

Zhao Chen has practiced martial arts for three months, and his internal strength has been achieved, and his physical fitness has also been greatly improved. It was more than five miles from Jujing Garden to Funing Palace, Zhao Chen ran forward all the way, gradually leaving the eunuchs behind. When he came to Funing Hall, Zhao Chen's face didn't change at all, and his breathing was very normal, as if he came here slowly.

He waited for a while at the entrance of Funing Hall, and several guards had already gone to report. After a while, Zhao Chen really entered the Palace of Funing.

At this moment, in addition to Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, there are actually dozens of ministers in Funing Hall.

The Taizai and his servant Zhang Bangchang is here, and the Shaozai Li Bangyan is here. These are the two prime ministers in the court. In addition to these two, there are Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao and other important officials in the court.

Originally, when Song Huizong was in power, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others were in charge of the government. It's just that as Song Huizong abdicated, Zhao Huan had replaced all the ministers in the court with his cronies, and he directly denounced Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others as traitors! It's just a pity that Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others are certainly treacherous ministers, but Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan and others appointed by Zhao Huan himself are also famous treacherous ministers in history!

There were a few loyal ministers in the Qinzong Dynasty, such as Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Zhang Shuye, etc., who were all famous loyal ministers in history, but these people were upright and were not liked by the emperor, and they had already been demoted to various places! Now that a major event is happening in the country, the emperor can only discuss the solution with a group of ministers.

Seeing Zhao Chen coming in, Zhao Huan nodded towards Zhao Chen, signaling Zhao Chen to stand beside him.

"Father, what happened? But... the golden soldiers went south?" Zhao Chen asked anxiously.

"Not bad!" Song Qinzong nodded, his face a little heavy.

Zhao Chen's heart tightened. Although he knew that Jin Bing would go south, he was still at a loss when this happened!

"My dear friends, please tell me how we should deal with the situation in front of us?" Song Qinzong looked down and said.

"Your Majesty, do you remember what happened at the beginning of the Song Dynasty?" Zhang Bangchang stood up and said.

"At the beginning of the founding of the country?" Zhao Huan was taken aback and said, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Bangchang said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom had an enmity, and the Liao people often went south. Every time they went south, they were called "grass valley". Go away now! Jin Kingdom is the same as Liao Kingdom, they are also barbarians, and their thoughts must be the same, and they must go south to 'grass valley', so there is no need to worry!"

Song Qinzong nodded, and the ministers next to him, although fearful in their hearts, also nodded at this moment.

Zhao Chen couldn't bear it anymore and said, "If the Jin soldiers come all the way south and arrive outside Kaifeng City, what should we do?"

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, there is no need to worry! In fact, after the Jin soldiers went south last time, they once surrounded Kaifeng. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the imperial court has sent heavy troops to the three northern towns! These three northern towns can definitely stop the Jin soldiers. Make it difficult for Jin Bing to continue going south!"

"Three northern towns?" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

He has learned some historical knowledge, but his knowledge of ancient geography is still limited.

"The three northern towns are Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian! Taiyuan guards Hedong, Zhongshan guards Hebei, and Hejian guards Shandong. The three cities are connected in a line and distributed in the northern plain. Only by breaking through the three northern towns can Jin soldiers continue south! The cities are extremely strong, and now there are heavy troops stationed there, the Jin soldiers are barbarians, they don't have many siege weapons at all, they can't beat these three cities at all!" Zhang Bangchang said.

Zhao Chen frowned. He didn't know how powerful the three northern towns were, but he knew that it took only three months for Jin Bing to fight from the north to Kaifeng. The three northern towns certainly didn't play much role!

In fact, the three northern towns did play a role in history, especially Taiyuan City!

During the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, there were two famous cities whose military exploits lasted through the ages. One was Diaoyu City at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the other was Taiyuan City in the Northern Song Dynasty. The former is famous for killing the Mongolian Khan, while the latter is famous for his tenacity. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin mobilized soldiers from all over the country to attack Taiyuan City. With Zhao Kuangyin's strength, it would be difficult to conquer Taiyuan in his life. After Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, he used millions of soldiers and horses, and the number of crossbowmen alone exceeded 500,000. He surrounded Taiyuan City with the manpower and material resources of the whole country, but it took almost a year to conquer Taiyuan City. The Jin soldiers invaded south, and the important towns in the north fell one after another. Only Taiyuan City stood firm. Jinbing began to besiege Taiyuan City from the first time they went south, and until now, Taiyuan City has been surrounded by Jinbing for more than half a year. For more than half a year, Taiyuan City has not received assistance from a single soldier, and it is still resisting. After that, the most important reason why Taiyuan City fell was hunger. Taiyuan City was hungry, and all the edible things in Taiyuan City had been eaten up, and the city was broken.

The Northern Song court had lost contact with Taiyuan City for more than half a year, but they still regarded Taiyuan City as one of the barriers to the north.

"So, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, and all the ministers, there is no need to worry! The Jin soldiers went south just to fight Caogu. Even if they didn't, it would be difficult for them to conquer the three northern towns! We just need to relax!" Zhang Bangchang said with a smile on his face. .

"What if the three northern towns are conquered?" Zhao Chen said again.

"His Royal Highness is too worried! His Royal Highness is young and fearful in his heart, which is normal!" Zhang Bangchang said disapprovingly.

"You!" Zhao Chen was furious in his heart, he wished he could rush forward and kick this famous villain in history to the ground.

"Okay, Chen'er, you are really young! Now you are only ten years old, what do you know?" Song Qinzong said.

"Father, my son has something to say!" Zhao Chen said.

"What else do you have to say? Just say it!" Zhao Huan frowned and said.

"Father, the golden soldiers are strong, and the three northern towns may not be able to stop the golden soldiers! If the golden soldiers go all the way south and surround Kaifeng, wouldn't the country be in danger? Therefore, for the sake of the country, I think we should not trust the three northern towns too much. There are other measures to be taken!" Zhao Chen said.

"Oh? Other measures? Tell me about it!" Zhao Huan said.

"We should move the capital!" Zhao Chen said.

"What? Move the capital?" Zhao Huan was stunned there, not only Zhao Huan was stunned there, Zhang Bangchang and other ministers were also stunned there.

"That's right! Move the capital! During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Anlu Mountain rebelled. Didn't Tang Minghuang retreat to Sichuan and still drive Anlu Mountain away? We can also move the capital to temporarily avoid the edge of the Jin soldiers, and then unite the power of the whole country to fight against the Jin soldiers. Fight to the death!" Zhao Chen said.

This is an idea that Zhao Chen thought of these days! Since the Jin soldiers are strong and difficult to resist, it is better to move the capital! It doesn't matter if you go to Sichuan, Jiangnan, or even to the west, temporarily escape the sharp edge of Jin Bing, and we'll talk about the rest later! Although he has been the crown prince for three months, he is still thinking of a student. Now he mainly wants to save his own life! As for what to do in the future, he hasn't gone to this question yet! In his opinion, moving the capital would definitely save his life!

"Ridiculous! Your Highness, you are making a fuss out of a molehill!" a minister below said coldly.

The minister's name is Liu Dong, but he is a loyal minister. When Song Huizong was in power, he once wrote a letter to scold Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others, and he also had some reputation in the court. At this moment Liu Dong heard that the prince wanted to "move the capital", and thought that the prince was so cowardly and cowardly, he was very angry! In his mind, although the Jin soldiers went south, they only conquered a few small cities in the north. There are still more than three thousand miles away from Kaifeng. Now His Royal Highness is going to hide, so timid. The demeanor of the crown prince?

"Chen'er, never talk about moving the capital again! If I move the capital under the threat of foreigners, how much infamy will I leave in the history books in the future? How will I explain to future generations in the future? Wouldn't I also become a foolish emperor like Tang Minghuang?" Song Qinzong said.

He was afraid of leaving a "stain" in history, but he didn't know that the second emperor was captured and the shame of Jingkang was an unprecedented shame in Chinese history! In history, his evaluation is far inferior to Tang Minghuang! Tang Minghuang made great efforts to govern in the early stage, but gradually became obsessed in the later stage, which made the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline, but even so, he can still be said to have made meritorious deeds, unlike Song Qinzong, who did not leave any good things, and there are no positive comments in history books !

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

"Come on, take the prince down!" Zhao Huan shook his head and said.

Now Zhao Chen was "invited" out by the guards again...

*** ***

In the middle of the night, in the Eastern Palace, the candles were brightly lit!

Zhao Chen sat at the table, not feeling sleepy at all! At this moment, there are still two eunuchs and two maids serving in the room.

Zhao Chen had a lot of thoughts, but he couldn't think of a way to leave Kaifeng City.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, why don't you rest first?" After a long time, the eunuch next to him reminded.

"Rest? How can I sleep now?" Zhao Chen smiled wryly.

After finally coming to this era, it has only been three months, is he actually going to face death?

The night was getting darker, and there was a shrill cry from a distance, like a child crying, and those who heard it felt chills.

"What's that sound?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Your Highness, this is the sound of a wild cat calling for spring! You should rest quickly!" said the eunuch.

"The wild cat is called Chun..." This thought just flashed in his mind, and he was about to get up when he was taken aback suddenly!
