On June 13, the eighth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, in the afternoon, the wind was warm and sunny in Daizhou, Hedong.
A meeting related to the rise and fall of the world, as well as the future and destiny of the military and political group led by Zhao Kai, was held in a small forest in Yanmen County, Daizhou.
Guo Tiannu and a dozen of Zhao Kai's soldiers brought some saddles, found a place with sparse trees in the woods, arranged the saddles in a circle, and then took people to guard the perimeter.
Fifteen people, including Zhao Kai, Tong Guan, Chen Ji, Lu Yihao, Liu Kai, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Huang Wuji, Xiang Ke, Dong Jingang, Zhang Jun, Liu Qi, Li Xiaozhong, He Ji, He Moss, etc., sat in a circle. lock up.
Zhao Kai first asked Tong Guan to sacrifice Zhao Ji heroically and ordered Zhao Kai to ascend the throne. Zhao Huan abandoned Kaifeng Mansion and "usurped" the throne. He also tried to paralyze Zhao Kai by canonizing Zhao Kai as the Lord of Hebei and Hedong. Son, he said it again, so that all the subsequent generals listened.
"Huh, Marshal of the troops in Hebei and Hedong," Zhao Kai said coldly, "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, since the late Emperor decreed that you should ascend the throne, you should ascend the throne, otherwise you would be disobedient and unfilial! Your Majesty, Zhang Jun, respectfully invites Your Majesty to abide by the late Emperor's decree and assume the throne as soon as possible!"
As soon as Zhao Kai finished speaking, someone jumped out to persuade him to join. This person turned out to be Zhang Jun, who had just joined the Zhao Kai Group!
Zhao Kaixin said: No wonder you are among the four generals of ZTE... It seems you understand something!
"Your Majesty, I also think that you should abide by the late emperor's decree and ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor!"
The next person to express his position was Han Shizhong - he was just debating whether to attack the gold thief or Zhao Huan first, but he was half a step too late in persuading him to join...
"Your Majesty, since the late emperor has a posthumous edict, why are you still hesitating? Ascend the throne!" The next person to speak was Dong Jingang. He had always been very active in supporting Zhao Kai as emperor. He just needed to find a dragon robe. Zhao Kai put it on.
"Your Majesty, you can't give up your righteousness! Once you give up your righteousness, your Majesty will be regarded as a traitor and a traitor!"
"Yes... This dynasty is extremely powerful, and there has never been any separation of vassal towns! If the king does not get this title, I am afraid that he will be harmed sooner or later!"
The ones talking now are Huang Wuji and Xiang Ke.
These two people are also extremely firm in supporting Zhao Kai, far more than Tong Guan, Lu Yihao and Liu Kai... It's not that Tong Guan, Lu Yihao and Liu Kai have any objections, but this The three of them were either eunuchs or civil servants, and none of them were military generals who became officials with their tail between their legs. So they didn't really have a deep understanding of the difficulty of establishing a military separatist regime in the Song Dynasty!
Huang Wuji and Xiang Ke, two military attaches from the Western Army, certainly knew how hard the military attachés of the Song Dynasty were manipulated by the imperial court... The reason why Zhao Kai, the mad king, was able to achieve such great success was not only because He is crazy and fierce enough, and because the Song Dynasty court has been trapped in Kaifeng Mansion by gold thieves!
As the actual second son of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty (the second son died in infancy), Zhao Kai was the natural new emperor when Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were both killed or captured.
Therefore, when Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were trapped and unable to effectively exercise power, Zhao Kai actually became the representative of the imperial power of the Song Dynasty. And no one knows whether Zhao Kai will become the new official of the Song Dynasty in the next moment...
But if Zhao Kai now recognizes Zhao Huan's status, it would be equivalent to giving up imperial power and becoming the most tabooed lord of a vassal town in the political life of the Song Dynasty!
"Your Majesty," Li Xiaozhong took up the topic and said, "The Later Han, the Later Jin, the Later Tang and the Tang Dynasty all started from Jinyang and dominated the world! Now your Majesty occupies the land of Jinyang and has one hundred thousand soldiers!
You can leave 30,000 troops to guard your home, march directly to Luoyang with 50,000 troops, and then use a partial force of 20,000 troops to capture Guanzhong and pacify the Western Army. As long as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jinyang are all owned by the king, the power of the king is equivalent to that of Li Tang after he destroyed Wang Shizhong and captured Dou Jiande!
What's the difficulty in conquering another world? "
yes!
Zhao Kai thought: This Li Xiaozhong's statement is similar to that in "The Glorious Three Kingdoms"!
If we can capture Luoyang, Chang'an, Jinyang...I can easily capture Ye, Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Jiangling, then we will be invincible! How much territory can Zhao Huan take?
"Your Majesty, I am a native of Shaanxi and a great general. I am familiar with the terrain of Shaanxi and the situation of the generals of the Western Army. I am willing to lead the army to Shaanxi for your Majesty!"
Well, we have the vanguard to grab Shaanxi!
When He Guan's two sons saw it, they couldn't lag behind others in this matter! So he also stood up and asked for a fight.
"Your Majesty, my brothers are willing to take the land of Henan Prefecture (Luoyang is the capital of Henan Prefecture) for your Majesty!"
Nine of the ten generals under Zhao Kai expressed their opinions, and only one Yue Fei remained silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yue Fei!
Zhao Kai also murmured in his heart: One of the two saints is gone, and there is only one left... You don't want to go and greet him, do you?
This is so sorry for me!
At this moment, Yue Fei finally spoke. Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, haven't you been telling your ministers these days that you can't have the old Song Dynasty anymore? You want to work with us to create a new Song Dynasty, and then we can share the world together." Of?"
Zhao Kai nodded, "Yes, that's what the Gu family thinks!"
Yue Fei said: "In this case, you should just think that the Song Dynasty is gone now, let's start a new one!"
Restart a Song Dynasty?
Zhao Kai suddenly felt his eyes light up!
It would be great to reopen a Song Dynasty!
When the Song Dynasty was reopened, Zhao Kai was the de facto founding monarch! Just like Liu Xiu in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Liu Bei in the Ji Han Dynasty.
Although it is still under the banner of Han Family, it is actually a new business! All the old rules and old interest groups can be overthrown and started over! The new rules were set by Liu Xiu and Liu Bei. And the nobles who follow them to conquer the world naturally share the wealth and water... If the old interest groups are squeezed out, they can share more!
Moreover, reopening can also prompt the soldiers below to work harder!
There is no place for those "old shareholders" in this world. In the future, only upstarts like them will share dividends with Zhao Kai and his family.
In this way, you will get more oil and water, and it will be more fair!
Otherwise, those families of honorable ministers passed down from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms would have to continue to fish for it... In history, they had to fish for it until the Yuan Dynasty came over!
In addition, sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats has entered the bone marrow of the Song Dynasty!
It would be very difficult to shake Zhao Kai... If he wanted to compete with Zhao Huan within the Song Dynasty's system, he would not be able to kick these literati and officials away.
And relying on these scholars and officials, the Song Dynasty will not win in the troubled times in the future!
This has been proven time and again by history!
Troubled times cannot be ended by the governance of civil servants. The only ones who can bring power are guns and sword handles!
If Zhao Kai, a "secondary" time traveler, has any vision beyond the times, it is that he knows very well that the world is in trouble now!
If history does not change, the next era of world peace will have to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to establish it.
So Zhao Kai can only conquer the world with the warriors!
"Okay!" The more Zhao Kai thought about it, the more excited he became, and his poetic nature came to him. He opened his mouth and chanted: "China is about to have mountains and rivers, and the sun and moon will reopen the sky of the Song Dynasty... Gujia will reopen the sky of the Song Dynasty..." !”
"But...but what about the original Da Song?" Tong Guan asked with a frown.
"The original Song Dynasty?" Zhao Kai glared, "Didn't it be washed away by the Yellow River floods?"
Tong Guan was stunned, what did this mean?
Zhao Kai said: "All the generals in the army know that the gold thieves want to dig a new embankment that has lasted ten thousand years to flood Kaifeng... Doesn't Senior Officer Tong know that?"
ah!
Zhao Kai wants to call a deer a horse!
Although Tong Guan is old, he is not completely confused yet!
"I remember... Kaifeng Mansion has been flooded!" Tong Guan immediately burst into tears and said, "The gold thieves dug up the Yellow River dam and flooded Kaifeng Mansion! Officials and princes, There are millions of common people, all gone!"
Zhao Kai nodded, with a tragic look on his face, "The Song Dynasty is gone, what should the Gu family do?"
Why don’t the people below understand?
They all stood up, walked to Zhao Kai, arranged themselves according to rank, and then bowed together.
"I respectfully request that your Majesty take up his throne as soon as possible and lead us to drive out the golden thieves and reopen the Great Song Dynasty!"
