Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

After Qin Hui, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Ding whispered in the depths of Funing Hall for a long time, Qin Hui finally walked out.

"Quickly report to you General Miao Fu that I, Qin Hui, want to see him!" Qin Hui came to the gate of Funing Hall, and was immediately stopped by the soldiers guarding Funing Hall. Qin Hui didn't care, and said immediately.

The imperial soldiers hesitated for a while, and at this moment Qin Hui took out a few pieces of silver and handed them over to the soldiers, who finally agreed to report.

About a quarter of an hour later, Miao Fu brought a group of imperial soldiers over, and he looked at Qin Hui coldly.

In the past, Qin Hui was the prime minister, but Miao Fu was just a soldier, and his status was far inferior! But now that he is leading the rebellion, and Qin Hui's fate is also under his control, he doesn't look at Qin Hui with the same respect as before.

"General Miao, you want to force His Majesty to abdicate, but the country cannot live without a king! After His Majesty abdicates, what will you do? Who are you going to make emperor?" Qin Hui said.

Miao Fu just snorted coldly.

"I have an idea in my mind, why don't you listen to General Miao?" Qin Hui said.

"Just say it." Miao Fu said.

"Your Majesty can abdicate, but a country cannot be without a king! I think it's better to let the crown prince ascend the throne!" Qin Hui said.

"The crown prince ascends the throne? Do you think I'm a fool? The crown prince is only six years old and doesn't understand anything! After the crown prince ascends the throne, Emperor Jianyan has the final say!" Miao Fu mocked.

"After the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Emperor Jianyan is naturally the Supreme Emperor, so naturally he cannot meddle in government affairs." Qin Hui said.

"Then what about the government?" Miao Fu said.

"You can let Empress Dowager Meng listen to the government behind the curtain!" Qin Hui said.

"Empress Meng?" Hearing these three words, Miao Fu also froze there.

This Empress Dowager Meng is a legendary figure in the history of the Song Dynasty. She was originally the queen of Song Zhezong.

She entered the imperial palace when she was sixteen years old. At that time, Song Zhezong was in power in name, but in fact the power was in the hands of Empress Dowager Gao. Empress Dowager Gao liked the Meng family, so she decreed that "a son of the Meng family should be able to perform the rituals of a woman, so he should be in the middle palace", so she was named empress.

But Song Zhezong didn't like this queen at all, and Song Zhezong favored Liu Jieyu from the harem. Liu Jieyu gave birth to her daughter and died of illness soon afterward. Later, Liu Jieyu said in front of Song Zhezong that the Meng family used witchcraft to frame her daughter, so Song Zhezong abolished the Meng family's queen position.

After the Meng family was abolished, he took the lead to practice and called himself Immortal Master Yuqing Miaojing.

When Song Zhezong passed away, Song Zhezong's younger brother Song Huizong came to the throne, and Song Huizong took the Meng family back and named him Queen Mother Yuanyou.

After Song Qinzong came to the throne, the Yaohua Palace where Empress Dowager Meng lived encountered a fire, so Empress Dowager Meng moved out of the palace and lived in a private house next to Xiangguo Temple.

When the Jurchen invaded, the Queen Mother Meng escaped by chance.

Afterwards, the Jurchens established Zhang Bangchang as the emperor of Great Chu. Zhang Bangchang did not have any prestige, so they invited Queen Mother Meng out and named Queen Mother Meng the "Queen Mother of Song Dynasty", and let Queen Mother Meng listen to the government behind the curtain and take charge of state affairs together.

After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Meng was taken to Shangqiu, and soon followed Zhao Gou to Jiangnan.

It can be said that this Empress Dowager Meng is a patriarch of the Song royal family. Although she is only a woman, her status is extremely noble.

When the Miao Liu Mutiny happened in history, Zhao Gou pushed his son Zhao Yang out, let Zhao Yang ascend the throne, and the Queen Mother Meng listened to the government behind the curtain.

At this moment, Qin Hui actually had the same idea.

"The Empress Dowager Meng has high morals and high prestige. If she listens to the government behind the curtain, the people of the world will definitely obey!" Qin Hui said.

With a sneer on Miao Fu's face, he still snorted coldly.

"What? Is General Miao still unwilling to agree?" Qin Hui asked.

Miao Fu sneered.

"Could it be that General Miao wants to inherit the great line by himself?" Qin Hui asked.

"How can I, Miao Fu, be able to inherit the great power? If I ascend the throne, I am afraid that no one in the world will agree. At that time, I will only have a dead end!" Miao Fu said coldly.

He is just a general of the imperial camp, without any prestige, he rebelled definitely not for his own enthronement!

"Since that's the case, why didn't General Miao agree to Qin? If General Miao agreed, the immediate crisis would be resolved! My Great Song Dynasty can also be safe and sound!" Qin Hui said.

"I said before that Emperor Jianyan is not worthy of being an emperor! As for the prince Zhao you mentioned, he is not young enough to take on great responsibilities! As for the Empress Dowager Meng, a woman with high morals and high prestige, but now the country is in chaos. The reason why women and Taoists listen to politics behind a curtain? I can't agree to these!" Miao Fu said.

"Then what do you want?" Qin Hui said.

"One month at most, the Emperor of the True Dragon will come to Lin'an! By that time, everything will be peaceful in the Great Song Dynasty!" Miao Fu said.

"True Dragon Emperor? Who is it?" Qin Hui asked in disbelief.

"You will know when the time comes!" Miao Fu laughed.

"General Miao, your imperial battalion has only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, and news of your rebellion will soon spread to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River! By that time, the people in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River will not tolerate your actions! Especially Liu Guangshi General, he is in the Dongting Lake area, and he has more than 100,000 soldiers! If he leads an army, what will you do? You are by no means their opponent!" Qin Hui didn't have time to think about the meaning of "True Dragon Son of Heaven" at this moment. Save yourself, said again now.

"Liu Guangshi? He is not worth much!" Miao Fu sneered.

"Are you confident that your imperial battalion can defeat Liu Jiajun?" Qin Hui asked.

"Our imperial camp is indeed no match for the Liu family's army! But, heh heh, naturally someone will deal with Liu's family's army!" Miao Fu said.

"Is it not just the imperial camp that rebelled?" Qin Hui said, feeling more and more chilled.

"You will know when the time comes!" Miao Fu still used these words to answer Qin Hui.

At this moment, Miao Fu didn't bother to talk to Qin Hui again, he strode away from here, and Qin Hui had been pushed back into Funing Palace by those soldiers.

After re-entering the Palace of Funing, Qin Hui was in a state of disarray! Zhao Gou asked next to him, but he didn't even hear him!

*** ***

Zhao Gou and others were imprisoned in Funing Hall, and they put all their hopes on Liu Guangshi.

And Liu Guangshi is still constantly suppressing bandits.

On February 28, it rained heavily around Dongting Lake.

Today Liu Guangshi led 10,000 soldiers and horses to destroy a small village next to Dongting Lake, and then they returned to the military camp in the south of Yueyang by boat.

Liu Guangshi had just returned to the barracks and took off his armor. He was about to take a good hot shower and then immediately rest.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Liu Guangshi responded, and the door was opened, only to see his general Li Qiong standing in front of him.

"It's so late, why do you come to see me?" Liu Guangshi asked in surprise.

"General, Wang Boyan, the magistrate of Yueyang, has arrived and said that he has something important to report to the general," Li Qiong said.

"Wang Boyan? Tell him to wait!" Liu Guangshi frowned and said.

In the past, Wang Boyan was the deputy prime minister of the imperial court. Liu Guangshi would naturally please Wang Boyan. If he heard that Wang Boyan was coming, he would definitely arrive as soon as possible. But now Wang Boyan is only the magistrate of Yueyang, and it seems that he has no hope of returning to the center of the court. In this case, Liu Guangshi just ignores Wang Boyan.

Right now Liu Guangshi took a hot bath first, and then stayed there for a while before he slowly walked towards a tent, where Wang Boyan was.

When Liu Guangshi entered the camp, he saw that Li Qiong was supporting Wang Boyan, and Wang Boyan seemed very anxious.

Liu Guangshi was a little surprised, and said: "Master Wang, why are you free to come to my barracks?"

Wang Boyan hastily stood up at this moment, bowed to Liu Guangshi, and said: "Master Liu, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Liu Guangshi smiled and said, "Sit down, sit down quickly! What's the matter? Come here, and quickly serve tea to Mr. Wang!"

Wang Boyan stayed here for a long time, but no one served tea. To be honest, Wang Boyan was also very angry, but at the same time he sneered. He knew that Liu Guangshi's end was coming.

Immediately Wang Boyan said: "There is no need to serve tea! The matter is really important, so I came here overnight and told General Liu!"

Liu Guangshi said: "Tell me and listen."

He spoke so presumptuously, Wang Boyan was even more angry, but Wang Boyan's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Master Liu, I just got the news that Lin'an City is in chaos!"

Hearing this, Liu Guangshi was startled, and said, "There is a chaos in Lin'an City? What kind of chaos is it?"

Wang Boyan said: "I heard that the imperial building has rebelled!"

Liu Guangshi couldn't believe it, and said, "Yu Jian rebelled? How is this possible?"

Wang Boyan said: "Wang Yuan of the imperial camp oppressed his subordinates. The soldiers of the imperial camp had long been dissatisfied with Wang Yuan, so they rebelled and killed Wang Yuan! After Wang Yuan died, they actually surrounded the palace and forced His Majesty to abdicate!"

What!

Liu Guangshi stayed there all of a sudden!
