Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"What are you doing?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, my minister's mother has recovered!" Kang An said.

"So that's it! That's really great!" Zhao Chen laughed.

He felt a little bit suddenly enlightened! Before, he was still wondering why Kang An suddenly knelt down in front of him, but now he understands!

Speaking of which, his relationship with Kang An is very ordinary, and he only talks to Kang An occasionally on weekdays! As for the matter of Kang An's mother, it was just a dark chess move he made casually. He didn't expect this dark chess move to have much effect! Therefore, he didn't take this matter to heart, he was surprised when Kang An knelt down!

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your great kindness and virtue! From now on, I will only follow His Majesty's lead! Whatever Your Majesty asks me to do, I will do! Whoever Your Majesty asks me to kill, I will kill anyone!" Kang An said.

"I won't let you kill anyone, you stand up!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty, I want to pledge my allegiance to you!" Kang An said instead of standing up.

"Oh? Were you unfaithful to me before?" Zhao Chen said.

"No... Weichen was not so loyal before!" Kang An felt sweat dripping from his forehead, he didn't know how to express his emotions now!

"You stand up first!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, do you believe what I said? I really want to pledge my allegiance to you now!" Kang An said anxiously.

"I believe it! You are flat! Otherwise, what others will say when they come in and see the scene here!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, Weichen will stand up now!" Kang An said.

"If there is nothing else, you can go out first!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, this eunuch Lin Bao plots against you and always tricks you into doing things you shouldn't do! Your Majesty, you are an emperor, and you should handle state affairs and order the world in the palace, instead of doing carpentry in the Qianqing Palace every day. This is not in line with your supreme status!" Thinking of his mother's words, Kang An decided to "advise" Zhao Chen first, so he said.

"I know all these things. Master Li once told me! But I understand that Xiao Linzi is also doing it for my own good. He saw that I was tired, so he let me take a rest and let me do my own things. There is nothing wrong!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah!" Kang An stayed there, he didn't expect Zhao Chen to comment on Lin Bao like this!

"He is the head of the Qianqing Palace, and you are the head of the imperial camp. Is there any conflict between the two of you?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, there is no personal grievance between me and him! This minister is entirely for His Majesty's sake! Your Majesty think twice!" Kang An said.

"I will think carefully about your words! I also understand your loyalty!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty, apart from the eunuch Lin Bao, Mr. Zhe... Mr. Zhe is ambitious and is also trying to harm His Majesty!" Kang An said after hesitating for a while.

He didn't intend to say these words, he just wanted to talk about Lin Bao! But now he feels that Zhao Chen doesn't believe in his "loyalty" at all, and Zhao Chen seems to be perfunctory to him, so he said the things that he can ask for! He also knew that this matter was extremely dangerous. If Zhao Chen didn't believe him at all and spread these words to Zhe Keqiu's ears, then he would have to die! It's just that after he got the tattoo of Kang's mother on his back, it was already difficult for him to coexist peacefully with Zhe Keqiu. Under such circumstances, he could only put his hope on Zhao Chen, hoping that Zhao Chen could "wake up", and hope that Zhao Chen could work hard. , The final victory can be won! That's why he gritted his teeth and said something that could be expected!

"Master Zhe is loyal to me. He sees that I am tired every day, so he handles state affairs for me! Kang An, don't say these words again from now on!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah!" Kang An stayed there again!

He didn't expect the emperor to be so confused. It was obviously ambitious, but Zhao Chen took it as kindness! He was very depressed, but then he thought that the emperor was only 11 years old, so this matter is understandable! But now Zhao Chen doesn't believe his words, if Zhao Chen tells these words to Zhe Keqiu, then he will be in trouble! For a while, Kang An was sweating profusely!

"I know that you are doing it for my own good, but Mr. Zhe is really loyal! You are one of Mr. Zoro's subordinates. If you say that, Mr. Zoro will not be happy! But don't worry, I will not tell you about this matter. My lord!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is really kind!" Kang An said.

At this moment, Kang An breathed a sigh of relief!

"Okay, Xiao Linzi is coming in, you go out first!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Kang An said.

Kang An left here in a hurry, and bumped into Lin Bao at the door, Lin Bao said: "Why is Mr. Kang here?"

Kang An said: "Your Majesty's plane can't be found, so let me help you find it!"

This is the reason he had already thought of, and now he said it casually, without any flaws!

Lin Bao didn't think too much about it, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Bao walked into the Qianqing Palace, with a coquettish smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhe has already sent the thousand-year-old huanghuali wood into the palace! Good! A big piece, do you want to send it in now!"

Zhao Chen said in surprise: "Send it quickly, it's really great!"

Lin Bao left again, while Zhao Chen was standing in front of the window, looking outside, thinking about Kang An in his heart!

What happened to Kang'an today was very strange! According to Zhao Chen's thinking, even if he was kind to Kang An and Kang's mother, Kang An couldn't be loyal to him so soon! After all, Kang An followed Zhe Keqiu for more than ten years, how could he betray Zhe Keqiu because of such a little favor! In Zhao Chen's view, Kang'an's arrival today should be a kind of "exploration"! Maybe it's possible to ask for a discount, but I still don't feel at ease, so I let Kang An test myself! Therefore, Zhao Chen didn't show his sincerity. What he said were empty words and clichés, without flaws!

He didn't think about Kang's mother at all, and he didn't understand what kind of person Kang's mother was! Therefore, he now has such a judgment!

"Let's take a look later! Kang'an is in the palace, and I have plenty of opportunities to get in touch with him! If he really took refuge in me and betrayed Zhe Keqiu, that's really good news! He's the head of the imperial camp. , with him as the internal response, it will be much easier to deal with negligence in the future! But this matter is still strange!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

Not long after, Lin Bao sent the huanghuali wood over, and Zhao Chen happily started carpentry, not to mention that.

*****

On the fourth day of November, Zhao Chen went hunting again!

This time in the dense forest, Kang An quietly approached Zhao Chen again, saying: "Your Majesty, I swear in the name of my mother that I will be loyal to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Chen was standing on the top of the mountain at the moment, looking at the heavy snow around him, he said with a smile: "I know! Not only you, but all civil and military ministers in this world are loyal to me! I am very satisfied!"

Kang An wanted to cry without tears, and said: "Your Majesty, I am different from those ministers! Those ministers can ask for what they want, but I don't want what they want!"

Zhao Chen said: "You can't do this! Mr. Zhe is the privy envoy. After Li Gang left, I have decided to let him take over the post of prime minister! He handles state affairs for me, so don't disobey his orders!"

Kang An anxiously said: "Your Majesty, what I can ask is to kill you!"

Zhao Chen said: "You are talking nonsense!"

Kang An said: "Why doesn't your majesty believe the words of the humble minister? In order to take charge of the government, he sent an eunuch into the palace to make your majesty stop going to court early, so that he can meddle in state affairs unscrupulously! Think about it, your majesty, yes Isn't that the reason?"

Zhao Chen thought for a while, and said, "Maybe what you said makes sense!"

There was a pleasant smile on Kang An's face, and he said: "Your Majesty, you are still young, it is time to study hard, but you can ask for it, but let Lin Bao instigate Your Majesty to hunt every day and be a carpenter every day, he is not Is it also to harm His Majesty?"

Zhao Chen said: "But these are things I really like!"

Kang An said: "Your Majesty, if you don't study your homework well now, how will you govern the country if you don't have enough knowledge in the future?"

Zhao Chen thought for a while, and said: "So, he is indeed going to harm me!"

Kang An said: "Yes! That's the truth! Your Majesty saved the life of Weichen's mother, and Weichen's mother taught me the righteousness, and then I understood that I must be loyal to Your Majesty! Two nights ago, Weichen's mother was still on Weichen's back Four words are engraved on it!"

Zhao Chen said, "Which four words?"

Kang An looked around and saw that the other guards were far away from here, so he took off his shirt suddenly, and saw four words appearing in front of Zhao Chen: "Swear to kill the thief"! At this moment, the four words have formed a scar, which looks a little hideous!

Seeing these four words, Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel a little moved! He finally believed in Kang An a little bit now! However, he was still worried that it was a tempting temptation!

He is in a predicament, there is no one close to him, and he can't trust anyone! Even if Kang An spoke so far, even if Kang An showed the four words on his back, he still couldn't believe it completely! However, he couldn't completely chill Kang An's heart!

At that moment, Zhao Chen said: "I understand! From now on, I will study my homework hard, and I will go to the morning court! However, I still have to think about it carefully!"

Kang An had already put on his clothes, and said: "Your Majesty is willing to do this, that's really great! Your Majesty, I have been thinking about this matter these days. In fact, many of the palace guards sympathize with Your Majesty and are willing to serve you Your Majesty! I will secretly persuade these people. If these people are willing to deal with them with me, I will engrave the words "swear to kill the thief" on their backs. If they are not willing, then I will also I have to be ruthless and kill those who don't want to! In the future, I will help His Majesty kill this beast sooner or later!"

Zhao Chen believed in Kang An more and more at the moment, but he still kept his words aside, and tentatively said: "If Zhe Aiqing really wants to frame me, I only need one sentence to take him away." Next! You know, I am the Son of Heaven, commanding the world! Why bother!"

Kang An was shocked, and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this! Now all the courts are under the influence of the Lord, and the civil and military ministers listen to the Lord! If you really do this, I am afraid that you will be killed by the Lord in the future." Complete house arrest, it is impossible to leave the Qianqing Palace! Now Master Zhe is not on guard against you, we can still plot against him secretly, and there is still a chance of success in the future! If His Majesty does that, there will be no chance of success!"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "I understand! Xiao Linzi and the guards are here, let's talk about something else!"

A surprised expression appeared on Kang An's face, and after a while, he said, "Your Majesty is so smart, I admire you! Your Majesty, shall we go to Changchun to visit later?"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "I'm going to spend the night in Changchun! But there can't be many guards there, what should you do?"

Kang An said: "Weichen and others can live in the residential houses outside!"

At this moment, Lin Bao had already come to Zhao Chen's side, seeing Zhao Chen and Kang An talking, it was inconvenient for Lin Bao to interrupt their conversation!

Just listen to Zhao Chen continue: "You can live in the houses outside, but don't disturb the people! When you leave, you have to give them some money compensation!"

Lin Bao was finally able to interject at this moment, he smiled coquettishly and said, "What are Your Majesty and Lord Kang talking about?"

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "I'm going to spend the night in Changchun Temple today. You, Xiao Linzi, will stay with me. As for Mr. Kang and the other guards, they will live in a private residence outside! I told him not to disturb the people!"

Lin Baomei smiled and said: "Your Majesty cares about the people, he is really a holy king through the ages!"

For such praise, Zhao Chen seemed extremely happy, and immediately laughed and said: "Let's go hunting for a while, and after an hour, let's go to Changchun to watch!"

*****

That night, after arriving at Changchun Temple, Zhao Chen and Wang Chongyang were alone in the room!

Wang Chongyang taught Zhao Chen the dream butterfly swordsmanship, and Zhao Chen basically memorized the 1,296 moves! It's just that each move has a hundred variations, and it's a bit difficult to master every variation!

"As long as you can understand the process from birth to death, and from death to birth, you will naturally master all the changes! You can read more Taoist books when you have nothing to do on weekdays. These are very helpful for you to understand swordsmanship! "Wang Chongyang said.

"I understand! In fact, not only Taoist books, reading some other Confucian and Legalist works is also helpful for understanding Taoist swordsmanship! The sages said that stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade! This is true of everything!" Zhao Chen said.

"That's right, you're right!" Wang Chongyang said.

"Master, Li Gang and Master Li have also left from Hanzhong City. I was really lonely in the past! Why don't you follow me to the palace, we can talk more on weekdays, and you can teach me more about swordsmanship and martial arts!" Zhao Chen said.

He begged bitterly, but Wang Chongyang still shook his head!

Zhao Chen had no choice but to stop talking!

"Master, what happened to Kang'an's mother a few days ago?" Zhao Chen said.

"It's just common typhoid fever! I treated her for a few days as a teacher, and she has recovered now!" Wang Chongyang said.

"Master, when Kang An came to pick up Kang's mother, what kind of person do you think he is?" Zhao Chen said again.

"He is an extremely filial person!" Wang Chongyang said after thinking about it.

"The most filial person... that's good! Today he swears in the name of his mother in front of me, there must be nothing wrong!" Zhao Chen said.

"Since he swears by his mother, it can't be wrong! This man is undoubtedly a filial son, don't doubt it!" Wang Chongyang didn't ask what happened, but just followed Zhao Chen's words!

"It's so great!" There was an excited light in Zhao Chen's eyes!

He has endured it for a long time, and now there is finally a slight change in this miserable day! Although Kang An was the only one who relied on him, Kang An was the head of the imperial camp after all, and his status was very important. All these would be of great benefit to him in the future!
