Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

In Shanhaiguan in February, the weather is still cold.

The north wind kept whistling, and at the moment below the Shanhai Pass, more than a thousand people were huddling together, so as to be slightly warmer.

An old man in yellow clothes stood at the very front. His hair was gray, and the skin on his face was extremely dry and full of wrinkles. He was shivering from the cold and couldn't help looking up.

"Go and send someone to shout!" the old man said.

"We've been shouting, it's been two days, and they still haven't opened the city gate," said an old man with gray hair beside him.

"Are they going to let us freeze to death here?" said the old man in yellow.

"Your Majesty, they absolutely don't have the guts!" Another old man said.

They were talking here when a few Jurchens suddenly squeezed in from behind. Seeing these Jurchens, the old men stopped immediately, with expressions of awe in their eyes.

"Emperor, are you alright?" A Jurchen in her twenties said, looking at the old man called the Supreme Emperor.

"It's okay! It's okay!" The old man nodded.

"It's so cold here, even I can't bear it! You are not young, so you must be able to bear it." The Jurchen said.

"The old man has often endured hunger and cold in the Five Kingdoms City these years. This little bit of cold is nothing." The old man said.

"When you return to Song Dynasty, you know what to do, right?" Jurchen said.

"Of course I know! The Jurchens are very tolerant and don't want to continue to fight with the Han people. You gave us Yanyun and the Central Plains. Of course, we will have a century-old friendship with the Jurchens and live in peace forever." The old man said.

"Also, the special products from the south should be sent to our Dajin Kingdom every year! Also, the emperor of the Song Dynasty should call the emperor of my Dajin Kingdom uncle! We are a country of brothers, Dajin Kingdom is brother, and your Song Dynasty is Brother." Jurchen said.

"It's natural!" said the old man.

"If you do well, we will release your son after you go back!" Jurchen said.

"That's really great!" A gleam of joy appeared on the old man's face.

The weather was getting colder and colder. In the afternoon, the sky was covered with overcast clouds, and at dusk, a little snow fell in the sky.

In Jiangnan at this time, there is already spring, but in Shanhaiguan, it is normal for snow to fall in February.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the more than a thousand people were shouting continuously below. At this moment, the gate of Shanhaiguan opened suddenly!

Seeing the city gate of Shanhaiguan opened, the more than a thousand people couldn't help calling out, while the Jurchens left the team and rode their horses towards the distance!

More than a thousand people wanted to rush in, but after only a few steps, they found countless soldiers pouring out of the city gate. These soldiers were holding bows and crossbows in their hands. The arrow flashed coldly!

"Go forward one by one, we need to check you!" A general stood there and said coldly.

More than a thousand people looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a while, an old man walked over.

As soon as he stepped forward, two soldiers came to him immediately. The two soldiers put their hands on his body and began to grope from top to bottom, not letting go of any corner.

"This old man is Ge Bing, the former Minister of Rites, please let him go quickly! It's too rude to do so!" After being checked in front of more than a thousand people, the old man felt that he had lost face, so he couldn't help but say.

"No matter who you are, you have to check! Shanhaiguan is an important border area of ​​the country. If you are spies sent by Jin Guo with weapons on your body to threaten the safety of Shanhaiguan, what should you do?" the general said coldly.

"Who are you?" Ge Bing asked angrily.

"General Qi, everything is normal and he is not carrying any weapons!" said a soldier.

"Put it in!" the general ignored Ge Bing at all, and said lightly.

Ge Bing was still standing there angrily, but several soldiers stepped forward and pushed him in.

Then other people came forward to be checked one after another!

People kept going in, and the angry voices of those people could always be heard during the period!

After the fall of Kaifeng, the Jurchens expelled more than 100,000 people from Kaifeng City to Huining Mansion. Most of the more than 1,000 people who came back this time were people of considerable status at that time! When they were in Jin Kingdom, they were also bullied by the Jurchens, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with them, but at the moment they were "bullied" by these ordinary soldiers, they felt extremely angry.

Finally, the old man in yellow came up, followed by a child.

This time the soldiers stopped. They obviously knew the old man's identity, so they didn't check him.

Several soldiers were lighting torches, and the general was carefully identifying the old man's face. In just six or seven years, the old man has changed a lot.

After a long time, the general finally confirmed the identity of the old man. He stood up straight, gave a military salute, and said: "The last general Liu Kai, the chief of the army and horses of the Liaodong Military Region, will see the Supreme Emperor!"

"Liu Kai? Who are you from Liu Zhongwu?" the old man asked.

"Liu Zhongwu is my father!" Liu Kai said.

Liu Kai was born in a family of generals in the Northwest, and his father Liu Zhongwu was once a general of the Western Army.

"Oh, you are also a child of a family, don't you know etiquette? I am the Great Song Emperor, don't you have to kneel down when you see me?" the old man said indignantly.

"Report to the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty has already abolished the kneeling ceremony in the army!" Liu Qi said lightly.

"What?" The old man froze for a moment.

This old man is none other than the famous Song Huizong Zhao Ji in history! He was a well-known faint king in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He worshiped Taoism all his life and flourished flowers and stones. The Song Dynasty fell from his hands! Song Qinzong actually only served as emperor for one year. Speaking of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong was more responsible!

It is now the seventh year of Xuanwu, Zhao Chen is seventeen years old, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan is only thirty-three years old, and Song Huizong is only fifty-one years old, but Song Huizong has been tortured in Beiguo City in the past few years, so he looks old Incomparable.

"Your Majesty, I don't know who this child is?" Zhao Ji asked a three or four-year-old child beside him.

"This is Zhao Xun, the prince of Emperor Jingkang!" Zhao Ji said.

"Ah!" Now Liu Qi was stunned!

It turned out that this was Zhao Huan's son born in Wuguo City!

In fact, Zhao Huan was in his prime of life. Although he lived in the Five Kingdoms City, although his life was extremely difficult, there were women imprisoned in the Five Kingdoms City. If there were women serving as bed servants, a son would naturally be born! Historically, after Zhao Huan was captured in the north, he stayed in Wuguo City for decades and gave birth to several sons!

"Is the old man able to go in now?" Zhao Ji said.

He has stayed in the Five Kingdoms City for many years, and now he keeps talking about "old age".

"Please come in, Your Majesty! The last general has arranged a residence for His Majesty and others, so Your Majesty can rest!" Liu Kai said.

After Zhao Ji and the child Zhao Xun entered Shanhaiguan, the rest of the people came up one after another to stand up for inspection. After an hour, it was already dark, and everyone was inspected, and the gate of Shanhaiguan was closed again.

*** ***

It was cold and windy outside, and the snow was blowing heavily. At this moment, Zhao Ji was staying in the room with the child named Zhao Xun.

There were candles and a stove in the room, and some simple meals were placed in front of them, and a pot of boiling tea was brought in by the soldiers.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Xun were obviously very hungry, the old and the young were eating here.

After a while, the two finally stopped. Zhao Xun touched his swollen belly and said, "Grandpa, Xun'er has never eaten such a delicious meal! What we ate seemed to be beef! One year during Chinese New Year , Those Jurchens once gave us food!"

Zhao Ji licked his lips with some insatiable desire, and said with a smile: "It's beef! This is not a delicious food. After returning to the palace, there will be all kinds of delicious food!"

With longing in his eyes, Zhao Xun said, "Grandpa, we come back from the Five Kingdoms City, so we don't have to work any more from now on?"

Tears flowed from Zhao Ji's eyes, and he said, "Yes, we don't have to work anymore! Besides, we don't have to suffer from the cold anymore! From now on, we can sit back and enjoy the glory and wealth, and no one can bully us!"

Zhao Xun was obviously very happy when he heard this, and said, "Can't the Jurchens bully us too?"

Zhao Ji said: "As long as we don't provoke the Jurchens, the Jurchens shouldn't bully us either."

Living in such a room, Zhao Xun was very excited. He ran around the room, touching the walls with his hands, feeling the smoothness of the walls, and couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.

"Grandpa, there is no air leakage here, is there such a room in the world?" Zhao Xun said excitedly.

"Silly boy, when you get to the palace, you will find that the palace is a thousand times better than here!" Zhao Ji said.

"Xun'er wants to go to the palace now." Zhao Xun said.

"We will be able to go back in a few days! You can also see your brother! He is now the emperor of Song Dynasty!" Zhao Ji said.

"What kind of person is brother?" Zhao Xun said.

"Your brother, he is a very well-behaved child just like you! When he left Kaifeng Mansion, he was only ten years old! Now he should be just seventeen years old! He is too young to govern the country! I heard that The generals have been domineering all these years, and the warriors are actually above the literati! I saw this Liu Kai today, and I didn’t kneel down when he saw me. He dared to stop me waiting for several days, and dared to make those ministers make a fool of himself. In the past, such a thing would never have happened! Your brother is too young to overwhelm these generals, and I have to do these things." Zhao Ji said.

"Grandpa, I still want to eat the meal just now." Zhao Xun said.

"You have eaten a lot, if you eat any more, your stomach will explode." Zhao Ji laughed.

Zhao Xun couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Zhao Xun said again: "Grandpa, I want to go out for a walk! Also, where are Grandpa Ge Bing and the others now? We used to stay together in the past. I don't know if they have eaten or not. Live in such a nice house?"

Zhao Ji said: "Let's go out and have a look! Ge Bing and the others should be around!"

Zhao Ji and Zhao Xun walked out of the room. There were two soldiers standing at the door of the room. One of the soldiers stopped them and said, "The Supreme Emperor, little prince, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Ji snorted coldly, and said, "Presumptuous! Is it something you lowly soldiers can ask about what I want to do?"
