Great Zhou Empire: Kill Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning

Chapter 1 Rebirth at the Doomsday
The early morning sunlight in autumn shines slantingly through the carved wooden windows, and every speck of dust in the air is clearly visible.

Liang Xiao suddenly woke up from the big palace bed with carved dragons and painted phoenixes. He was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him:
This is an antique hall, elegantly and warmly decorated with exquisite tables and chairs.

In the center of the hall, there is a bronze tiger-headed incense burner. At this moment, sandalwood is rising, and the smell is refreshing.

Two stunning palace maids, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who were standing in the palace, were dressed in costumes. When they saw Liang Xiao waking up, they immediately walked to the big bed, bowed respectfully and said:

"Your Majesty! This servant is waiting for you to change your clothes."

Liang Xiao was surprised to see that these two stunning girls did not look like they were acting in a TV series or making fun of themselves. Just when he was about to ask, "Where are they?", a huge pain hit his head, and numerous memories poured into his mind instantly. .

Liang Xiao traveled through time, and traveled to November 959, the sixth year of Xiande in the Later Zhou Dynasty ( AD).

Liang Xiao was originally working overtime at a Shenzhen futures company one night in May 2024. Unexpectedly, after a loud noise that resounded throughout the world, a huge "mushroom cloud" rose up in the center of the city, stinging him so hard that he couldn't close his eyes. See.

As soon as I shouted "It's over!" in my heart, I lost consciousness until I woke up now.

At this time, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong had died of illness on June 19. The seven-year-old Liang King Chai Zongxun ascended the throne in front of Chai Rongling. In August of the same year, Chai Zongxun designated his father Chai Rong's posthumous title as "Emperor Ruiwu Xiaowen".

Chai Zongxun's biological mother, Empress Dowager Dafu, died of illness on July 956, the third year of Xiande (), at the age of .

The person currently in charge of the government is Empress Dowager Xiao Fu, who is Chai Zongxun's stepmother and his aunt.

At that time, among the senior generals in charge of the Forbidden Army in Tokyo, Zhang Yongde, the chief inspector in front of the palace, and Li Chongjin, the commander of the Imperial Guards Division, were more powerful.

On his way back to Tokyo after falling ill, Zhou Shizong once picked up a wooden sign with the words "Inspection to be the emperor", so he became suspicious of Zhang Yongde, who was doing inspections in front of the palace at that time, and transferred him to the hospital for his "lack of independent opinions". Chanzhou was appointed as Jiedushi.

Later, Chai Rong promoted Han Tong, who had made military exploits in the Northern Expedition, to the deputy capital commander of the guards and troops, and was in charge of the guards and troops together with Li Chongjin. Chai Rong promoted Zhao Kuangyin, who had previously been lower in rank but more trusted by him, to the commander of the capital in front of the palace. In charge of the front office of the palace.

"History of the Song Dynasty" goes into great detail: "When Shizong was in Taoism, he read documents from all over the world and got a Wei bag. There was more than three feet of wood in it, and the inscription said, 'He will be the emperor after inspection.' , returned to the capital, paid homage to Taizu to inspect the school, and inspected everything in front of the palace to represent Yongde."

After the subsequent historical process, everyone knows that the founding of the Song Dynasty was entirely due to Zhou Shizong's personnel changes. The biggest beneficiary of this incident was the later Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin; and Chai Rong dismissed his "brother-in-law" Zhang Yongde, and the same was true Because of this wooden sign that says "Check and Become the Emperor".

Liang Xiao knew that Shizong Chai Rong had adopted Taizu Guo Wei as his son, entered the family tree, and changed his surname to Guo, and Chai Zongxun is now also called Guo Zongxun.

The surname Chai is just a self-proclaimed name in Liang Xiao's mind from later generations.

After Liang Xiao fully accepted the memory of the original owner, he looked at the tender little hands of his seven-year-old child and felt happy, surprised and sad in his heart:

"No wonder I always felt that that was not the life I should live. I was a genius, but I was born at the wrong time! It turns out that I was supposed to be traveling through time today!
In this life, I am Chai Zongxun, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that I remember that Zhao Kuangyin of Zhao State launched the "Chenqiao Mutiny" to seize the throne on the fourth day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Xiande's reign. Wouldn't it be less than two months from now?

What to do? "

Two personal maids, Wan'er and Zhu'er, saw Chai Zongxun holding his forehead in his hands, sitting on the bed and groaning. They knew that Chai Zongxun had suffered some cold when he buried his father, Emperor Chai Rong, in the Qingling Tomb yesterday. Chai Zongxun's body has been replaced by a soul that is more than a thousand years old.

Wan'er and Zhu'er hurriedly sat by the bed and waited on Chai Zongxun to wash up and change clothes.

After Chai Zongxun changed his clothes and stepped off the dragon bed, two maids from outside the palace came in carrying a bamboo basket containing Chinese medicine fried by the imperial physician.

The two palace maids quickly opened the bamboo basket and prepared to serve Chai Zongxun to drink the medicine.

Chai Zongxun waved to the two palace ladies:

"My cold has recovered, and I no longer need to take any medicine. Please step back."

Wan'er advised: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has specifically told me that when Your Majesty wakes up, she must serve Your Majesty and drink the decoction."

Chai Zongxun learned that these two personal maids had served him since childhood and were the most loyal, but they still regarded him as a 7-year-old child.

Chai Zongxun said:

"I will go and explain to the queen myself.

Let’s drive to Bao Ci Temple now! "

Wan'er and Zhu'er were surprised. Although today's emperor's voice was childish, he still had the aura of looking down on the world. Combined with his 7-year-old child's body, he exuded a strange aura.

Chai Zongxun left the Qingshou Hall and, accompanied by a large group of eunuchs and maids, headed for the Baoci Hall in the inner garden of the palace.

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was Bianliang, which was also the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty in Chai Zongxun's original time and space, and Kaifeng in later generations.

Bianliang is located in the Central Plains region and has a very important geographical location. It is located on the south bank of the Yellow River and has developed water transportation.

After a cup of tea, Chai Zongxun walked to Baoci Hall. Queen Mother Xiao Fu has received the eunuch's notification and is sitting high in the main seat waiting.

Chai Zongxun walked into the palace, saluted the empress dowager Fu who was beautiful and kind, and said:

"My son, please see your mother! May the Queen's holy body be safe!"

Empress Dowager Fu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please get up! Come and sit next to your mother."

Chai Zongxun walked to the wooden chair next to Queen Mother Fu and sat down.

Queen Mother Fu looked at Chai Zongxun's little face for a while, held his little hand, and said happily:

"Your Majesty looks good, I think he has recovered from the cold.

Just now, the queen mother was worried that my son would not want to take the decoction prepared by the imperial physician! Now it seems that the queen mother is worrying too much. "

Chai Zongxun felt the warmth coming from Queen Mother Fu's jade hands, just like the love she always had for him.

But now that his father had passed away suddenly, in the entire palace, only himself and Empress Dowager Fu were left alone, orphaned and widowed, relying on each other.

Chai Zongxun looked at the eunuchs and maids standing in the palace:
"You all exit the palace, I and the Queen Mother have something to say."

All the eunuchs and maids looked at each other in confusion. This was the first time that the 7-year-old emperor had given orders like this, and they couldn't help but bow and look at Queen Mother Fu.

Queen Mother Fu was also slightly surprised, but thinking that Chai Zongxun had always been gentle and well-behaved, and that he was only 7 years old, she immediately dismissed it, thinking that he was just a child who had a sudden change of heart and had some "secret" to tell her.

Empress Dowager Fu nodded slightly and said, "You all exit the palace. Your Majesty must have a secret that you want to tell me."

Chai Zongxun looked around and saw that all the eunuchs and maids had bowed out of the palace. He turned to look at Empress Dowager Fu:
"Mother, I really have a huge secret to tell you!"

Empress Dowager Fu smiled and said, "There are only two of us here, mother and son. It doesn't matter if I train my son."
