Chapter 1321 Western Song Dynasty

Hongzhou.

"The enemy is finally here?"

Brother Richard asked looking at the scout in front of him.

"Yes, an army of 200,000 people has set off from Tumen and has now reached the border."

the scout replied.

"Finally I couldn't bear it anymore!"

Brother Richard said with a smile.

"Prince Jin, let's kill him!"

A group of Xixia nobles were eager to try. They had been waiting for too long.

"Don't worry, wait for the enemy to come!"

Brother Richard shook his head.

"Didn't you say we should take action first? We've been waiting for more than half a month? We don't know what's going on in Liaodong yet. We're afraid we won't even be able to drink the soup as we wait."

The crowd was quite full. They came here to capture the fifth route of Guanxi this time, and they were even planning to capture Guanzhong as well.

"Do you think Qi is so easy to fight? How many times have we suffered losses? And we are taking the initiative to attack? Going to fight in the mountains and forests? We are here to fight the enemy head-on!"

Brother Richard looked at the crowd and said, although they formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin, they would not die for the Kingdom of Jin.

After listening to Brother Richard's words, the Jurchen nobles also remembered their several misfortunes at the hands of Qi. It seemed that each time they were in the mountains, which was not suitable for their cavalry to fight.

……

Guanzhong, Pucheng.

"All loyal ministers and righteous men, I would like to thank you all!"

Zhao Gou held the wine glass and looked at the people in front of him and said, during this time, rebels from all over the country have been coming in droves, and now he has an army of 60,000.

The problem of food and grass that troubled him the most was also alleviated. Landlords from all over the country generously donated money and people.

All this made Zhao Gou happy, and everything was finally moving in the best direction.

But everyone here just looked at Zhao Gou, their eyes full of expectation.

"Fellow righteous men, as the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not be right. Now the Song Dynasty is in trouble, Tokyo has been destroyed by thieves, the royal family has been captured, the world has no master, and the sun and the moon have no light."

"His Royal Highness King Kang is a direct descendant of Taizong and the orthodox successor of the Song Dynasty. Now that the world is in chaos, His Highness King Kang is needed to revive the Song Dynasty and clean up the world."

"Everyone who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and went to the great cause of justice in times of crisis, is the humerus of the Great Song Dynasty. I, Qin Hui, respectfully invite His Highness King Kang to ascend the throne as soon as possible and establish the Great Song Dynasty again to stabilize the people of the world!"

Qin Hui looked at the crowd and said, he knew that everyone was looking forward to official positions. These people were all waiting for official positions, but the problem was that Zhao Gou was only King Kang so far, and a prince was not qualified to reward ministers.

"I sincerely invite His Highness Prince Kang to ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and begged Zhao Gou.

"Everyone is a righteous man, Zhao Gou is young and lacks moral character, why should he bear such a heavy responsibility!"

Zhao Gou declined again and again, but his words were not very firm.

Everyone asked three times, and Zhao Gou said three words.

"Since everyone has said so, let's choose an auspicious day to do some divination and ask God for his meaning!"

Zhao Gou changed his tune after seeing everyone's sincere faces.

After hearing this, everyone was celebrating. Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne, and a new court was to be formed, and they were the civil and military officials.

In the next few days, miraculous rumors continued to spread from Puzhou, the most talked about of which was the rumor of "the mud horse crossing King Kang".

It is said that Zhao Gou was on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin. On the Lantern Festival, he suddenly felt unhappy in Huanglong Mansion. In the middle of the night, he dreamed that Tokyo had fallen, and that night he wanted to take people back south to save the Song Dynasty.

But in order to stop Zhao Gou, the Kingdom of Jin actually detained their war horses. Huanglong Mansion was thousands of miles away from Tokyo, and it was impossible to travel without horses. Zhao Gou was worried about the safety of the Song Dynasty, so he wanted to walk back on his legs. At this moment, an immortal appeared and made a horse out of mud. Zhao Gou returned to Guanzhong in one day.

The auspicious day of the zodiac was just three days later. On the altar, Zhao Ji spoke to heaven with tears in his eyes about the thief's cruelty and his helplessness.

The final divination result was that God agreed that Zhao Gou would ascend the throne, and the time was set for the next day.

There was a lot of joy in Puzhou that day, and everyone decorated Puzhou City happily. Zhao Gou had already ordered that Puzhou would be used as the temporary capital.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Bangchang congratulated Zhao Gou with a flattering look.

"Is your stuff ready?"

Zhao Gou asked with a smile. He was in a good mood now, and his dream since childhood was finally coming true.

"Your Majesty, please look!"

Zhang Bangchang smiled and clapped his hands, and two maids came up with trays. One wooden tray contained a red dragon robe, and the other wooden tray contained a twelve-pink crown.

Zhang Bangchang started to sew the dragon robe a few days ago, and it took a lot of effort to make the twelve-stringed crown, especially the twelve-stringed bead string. Pearls of the same size are hard to find, but luckily I came here to cast them. People brought a lot of treasures with them, and finally they were completed.

"well!"

Zhao Gou happily touched the dragon robe. He had wanted to try it on since he was a child, and now his dream finally came true.

On the second day, the city of Puzhou was filled with people, decorated with lanterns and colorful lights as if it were a Chinese New Year.

Qin Hui and Zhang Bangchang acted as the masters of ceremonies. They were very familiar with the etiquette system. After a set of etiquette, Zhao Gou put on his dragon robe and crown and slowly climbed onto the altar under the gaze of everyone.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Everyone knelt down and shouted in unison.

Zhao Gou waved his sleeves and sat on the dragon chair. At this moment, the Song Dynasty was established again and the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Jianyan.

Zhao Gou did not forget the people who supported his ascension to the throne. Although these people had no official positions before, but they were willing to follow him, he naturally could not treat them badly. Official positions were not frivolous, and the rewards were all for officials of fifth rank or above.

The people who came to invest were naturally very happy. They were just wealthy landowners from various places in the past. Although they only had land, they had not been exposed to the gentry level.

Next, Zhao Gou issued several imperial edicts in succession, one of which was to recruit loyal and patriotic people from all over the world to come to Guanzhong to help the Song Dynasty together.

With the previous reward, countless people from all over the world came to bid, and even some bandits and bandits were interested.

Jingzhao Mansion.

"I didn't expect that there are so many people with ulterior motives. Your Majesty is so kind to them, but they don't want to be grateful. Damn it!"

Huang Zhongfu looked at the information in his hand and gritted his teeth and said that after the establishment of the Qi State, there was no mass slaughter like other countries in history, nor was there any extermination of the original vested interests. However, what was obtained in exchange was not loyalty but betrayal.

"Let them come and kill as many as they come!"

Li Assistant smiled and said, these people have made their position clear, and the outcome is doomed.

"Mr. Li, according to the intelligence, Zhao Gou is likely to gather a hundred thousand troops!"

Ruan Li looked at Li Assistant and said.

"It's just a rabble, not worth mentioning!"

Li Zhu said nonchalantly that the people under Zhao Gou had no fighting ability at all.

"Has everyone been arranged to go in?"

Li Assistant asked, looking at the two of them.

"They all went in and got in touch with Luan Tingyu. Luan Tingyu worked secretly. Now they all have official positions."

Huang Zhongfu said.
