Chapter 281
Zhao Heng was stunned, the hand holding the teacup was hanging in the air.

He originally wanted to find someone to clarify his doubts, to enlighten him about the fight for the crown prince, so that he would not be so depressed.

After all, this matter involves a lot. Even if the other party is a real fortune teller, it is Zhao Heng's greatest luxury to dare to say 'success' or 'no success'.

But I didn't expect that the other party not only knew whether you were successful or not, but even said that he could show you the secrets of heaven in advance and peek into the future... Is this true or not?
Even though Lin Shuhang's magical calculation performance had already conquered Zhao Heng once, but hearing the words in his ears at this time still felt a little unbelievable.

This is the typical happiness that comes too suddenly, so suddenly that people can't react.

"Peeping into the future? How to spy on it?" He asked in surprise and unsure.

Seeing that Lin Shuhang didn't say a word, he first signaled the servant to close all the surrounding windows and draw all the curtains, then smiled and waved his hand.

Ding Wang Zhao Heng didn't know what kind of trick he was going to play, but he saw a scroll suddenly flew out from the fortune teller's arms, unfolded it quietly, and then hovered in the air.

The thing that can fly up automatically, no matter what it is, at least in terms of momentum, Zhao Heng has been stunned first, only to feel that the fortune teller in front of him is really not a mortal.

Just as I was amazed, I heard the fortune teller say: "Tianji has the meaning of summoning. The prince does not need to resist. When your name is called, you only need to agree, and you can peep into the future of Tianji. During the process, don't speak, don't talk, just let me know." You need to be a silent spectator until you wake up and see clearly."

Having been tricked to this point step by step, Zhao Heng seems to be able to make his own choice, but in fact, how can he have any choice?
At this moment, he nodded, but he heard a mysterious calling voice: "Ding Wang Zhao Heng!"

"Yes." He responded with full respect, and then his whole consciousness was swept away, as if he was suddenly sucked by something.

It was scene after scene, vivid scene after scene.

He saw the scene where his father crowned the crown prince, probably because of the resistance in the court, the third younger brother Zhao Kai still failed to snatch the status of the eldest son; he moved into the crown prince's mansion, and he was very happy for a while.

Such a scene is so real that Zhao Heng is almost completely substituted into it. After all, every face that appears in it is so familiar, and every detail makes him unable to find any faults. When I have a whim, I can count how many white hairs my father Zhao Ji has on his temples...

It was as if a big stone had been dropped in Zhao Heng's heart, and his wish had been achieved.

In this spying secret, he actually did nothing at all, but the crown prince is still his, because of his status as the eldest son, and at the same time, his mother, the queen, is also in it.

After all, regardless of whether he is favored or not, he was born of the former empress, and he is the eldest son of Zhao Ji. At least in name, he is the most legitimate person to sit on the crown prince.

Of course, Zhao Heng is not stupid. According to this secret, he can still see some other deep-seated reasons besides his identity.

He has been cautious since he was a child, and he has never done anything immoral. He has always been humble and obedient, and he has no support from any forces behind him. Therefore, no matter in the eyes of his father or the courtiers, he should be the most talkative and also the best. The best crown prince...

It is necessary to establish a crown prince first to stabilize the hearts of the world. However, the third son, Zhao Kai, is still too young. If we abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, the overall situation in the world will be unstable. Anyway, Zhao Heng, the crown prince, is easy to handle. If he really wanted to stand up for Zhao Kai, he could just abolish him for any reason.

Picking bones from the egg, even if there is no such thing, it is considered as stuffed in by you. This kind of thing couldn't be easier for the royal family.

As far as the courtiers are concerned, a good-spoken and submissive crown prince is always easier to serve than a pampered and lawless crown prince...

To put it bluntly, he, the crown prince, is just a shield.

Zhao Heng smiled faintly.

shield?It doesn't matter, since I know that I can become the crown prince, I will talk about the rest later.

He was about to thank the fortune teller, but found that the process of this 'secret' had not stopped yet.

It has only been two months since he became the prince, and he has already been appointed to supervise the country.

This is giving real power directly, and asking him to assist in handling political affairs also makes Zhao Heng a little at a loss.

Father... Is he really going to be raised as an heir?

And before he could find the answer from this doubt, only one year had passed since he was established as the crown prince, his father actually abdicated and gave him the throne directly, and he was only 15 years old when he was given the throne. On the Prince Jian Guo who has no experience and hasn't done anything yet!

The moment he saw himself putting on the dragon robe, frankly speaking, Zhao Heng was a little dazed.

He always thought that his father was just pushing him up as a shield. After all, the throne belonged to his father's favorite King of Yun, Zhao Kai, but he never expected...

After a short moment of astonishment and surprise, at this moment, Zhao Heng felt an indescribable joy and gratitude in his heart.

He has always felt that his father doesn't love him, no matter how hard he tries to maintain the relationship between father and son, his father still has no affection for him, as if the relationship between the two is only because of the status of father and son.

But now it seems that his father can directly give him the throne, and this alone proves that he is not without status in his father's heart, and he is wrong to blame his father!

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be extremely beautiful, and Zhao Heng was intoxicated by it.

But the deduction of the secret is still not over, and the real nightmare has only just begun since then.

After Tong Guan's army failed to attack Nanjing, it probably made the Kingdom of Jin see the weakness of the Song Army. Therefore, after annexing the Liao Kingdom, it immediately went south. Facing the Jin soldiers and iron cavalry, the Northern Song frontier army collapsed at a touch. Tong Guan's 20 Wan Dajun was defeated without even stopping a decent resistance, and was beaten by the Jin soldiers to the city of Bianjing.

Therefore, the father's abdication was only because he didn't want to face the iron cavalry of Jin Bing. Let him be the crown prince, but he just wanted him to bear the criticism of the world and face the ravages of Jin Bing...

Zhao Heng, who had just felt such a trace of paternal love, immediately accepted the cruel torture, but he had no time to be sad, because wave after wave of things were constantly being deduced in the secrets of heaven, which dazzled him.

Amidst the clamor of many capitulation factions, a young courtier, who seemed to be called Li Gang, chose to resist in Bianjing against all opinions. He entrusted him with the important task of defending Bianjing, and immediately executed Tong Guan, Cai Jing and other national thieves made the whole city of Bianjing unite, and finally stopped the mighty golden soldiers outside the city of Bianjing.

But after all, my ears are soft, and I just saw the stability of Bianjing, and I was influenced by the surrender faction in the middle of the court, and wanted to negotiate a peace with Jin Bing.

Not only did he remove Li Gang as prime minister, he also agreed to Jin Bing's demand for tens of millions of gold and silver in compensation, but he didn't expect that Jin Bing had just retreated and would come back to attack again in the next year. This time without Li Gang, Bianjing would soon be It was broken by Jin Bing.

Da Song is dead...

As the lord of a country, he personally went to the Jin barracks to ask for peace, but he was ignored by the gold lord, and he was arranged to live in a few huts next to the Zhai Palace in the military camp. Kang, just a broken table.

After being left in the cold, he was allowed to write the letter of surrender, but even this letter of surrender was returned by the Jinren for various reasons, and he was asked to rewrite it. He had to write it four times before he passed the test. Let him, the emperor, lead many ministers to kneel and worship three times and nine times, beat the lord Wanyan Agu as a gift to the ministers, claiming to be a subordinate official, and then imprisoned him directly in the gold camp and will not be released, so as to demand money from the Song Dynasty Not to mention, even a random general of the Kingdom of Jin can scold him at will, calling him in exchange, which is extremely humiliating.

However, Bianjing was looted several times, and the royal officials had already cut down on food and clothing. The ordinary people in Bianjing were even more miserable. They had nothing to eat. After the leaves and cats and canine teeth in the city were exhausted, they had already started to starve and die for food. Coupled with the prevalence of diseases, Countless people died of starvation and illness. Although the Jin soldiers did not enter the city to slaughter, the tragedy of Bianjing was no less than that of the slaughtered city. Less than three out of ten households, the city was full of corpses, which is beyond words to describe.

The majestic Song Dynasty, at the feet of the emperor, is in such a miserable state... Zhao Heng trembled with anger when he saw this.

"Enough! Enough! Enough!"

As a royal family, who can bear such humiliation?Zhao Heng yelled, but no one could hear his yelling in this picture scroll of heavenly secrets, and he couldn't help himself in what he wanted to do, so he could only keep looking down along with the picture.

Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning of humiliation.

The Jin people finally robbed enough of Bianjing, and searched Bianjing clean, so he, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and even the entire imperial palace, harem, concubines, and concubines, a total of 3000 people, plus civil and military officials, were all captured by the Jin people. Escorted, as a prisoner followed him to the north.

Whether it is Zhao Ji's concubine or his Zhao Heng's concubine, the Jin people can defile them at will if they want to. The two dignified emperors, seeing their concubines offering lewd pleasures, dare not say a word, even if the two emperors look up to the sky Weeping and sighing, they will also be sternly reprimanded by the Jin people, which will be even more humiliating... Those who committed suicide, were raped to death, and countless died of illness due to poor living conditions and hard work along the way. There are only a thousand people left in the team.

Then there was all kinds of tossing, let Zhao Heng and his son wear filial clothing and kneel down to worship the Jinren ancestors, which is called a prisoner offering ceremony; ordered people to lead his father and son's neck with a rope, followed by a group of officials, pulling a string like a sheep. Okay, perform the so-called sheep-pulling ceremony for Wanyan Aguda; even Zhao Ji was named Duke of Hunde, and Zhao Heng was named Marquis of Hunde...

Zhao Heng roared, but it was useless. The display of the secrets would not stop because of his displeasure.

Life is not as good as that of pigs and dogs. With such days and scenes, Zhao Heng feels that life is worse than death even if he is just watching from the sidelines.

It wasn't until the golden man had had enough fun and drove the second emperor to Wuguocheng, a small border town, that life became a little more stable.

At this time, Song Huizong Zhao Ji finally realized many things, and Zhao Heng depended on each other for life, and he remembered the goodness of this son, so that Zhao Heng finally felt the father's love that he had missed in his life.

But the good times didn't last long, Huizong died of illness in Wuguocheng, and his body was burned as lamp oil by Jinren...

Seeing Zhao Heng here, he finally stopped roaring.

In that 'secret', he no longer growls, that's because he has accepted his fate, and anyone who has experienced this miserable life will accept his fate.

And he who was on the sidelines stopped roaring, it was because he had already understood something, and even finally felt the purpose of this fortune-teller... The other party obviously had a purpose to get close to him, but so what? ?

All this was too real, and so real that Zhao Heng couldn't find any logical loopholes at all.

Is a man who can learn to hide his emotions at a young age really a fool?

No, Zhao Heng is very smart, and even he has the heart to serve the country, and he has a fairly good three views, otherwise, in the official history, he would not have executed Tong Guan and other six Northern Song thieves immediately after he ascended the throne, and would not have used them at that time. Li Gang, who is not well-known, would not choose to go to the top of the city to condolences to the soldiers when the Jin soldiers attacked Bianjing for the second time and came to his senses. When going to surrender, choose to go on behalf of your father...

Generally speaking, Zhao Heng has a certain amount of courage, a certain strategy, and a certain vision.

The reason why he had the stupid trick of dismissing Li Gang and seeking peace from the Jin people was just because the peace faction in the court at that time was too powerful, and it was just because behind him was the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji who wanted to surrender for peace. He still controls a lot of discourse power in the court.

He is a young man who has just ascended to the throne, what can he use to play with these old foxes?What confidence does he have to stick to what he thought at the beginning?
To be able to use Li Gang against all opinions at the beginning is actually quite impressive, but his arms cannot twist his thighs. In terms of the structure of the court at that time, the failure of defending the city was inevitable after all.

To put it bluntly, he is a very wronged emperor. From the beginning to the end, he has not really fully controlled the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are too many villains around him who lead him astray. If someone else sits on the throne, it may not be true. Can do better than him.

This is exactly why Lin Shuhang chose him as the breakthrough point!

 This paragraph in the book is my understanding of Song Qinzong. Of course, there are elements of beautification. For example, when Jin Bing attacked Bianjing for the second time, he chose the so-called Liujia Tianbing who believed in a charlatan. The IQ dropped to a negative number, but I didn’t mention it, because whether this is true or not, I think it can be questioned. After all, when the Jin soldiers went south, the emperor actually believed that a Taoist’s magic could save the country. That’s too unbelievable. There are suspicions of slander in the history books. After all, if the Southern Song Dynasty wants to stand, it must belittle the Huiqin Second Zong. However, Song Qinzong at least used Li Gang at the beginning, and even went to the city to condolences to the soldiers. These are all real things , It is enough to see that he is a visionary emperor who does not want to be a subjugated slave.

  In addition, since he was born, he has been cautious since he was a child. Honest people should have nothing to say about this. Therefore, if the emperor is well-built, he is actually not hopeless... Supporting him, I think it is at least better than supporting him to kill Yue Fei and pit him. Zhao Gou, who lost Han Shizhong, Zong Ze and other national heroes, is much better.
