The wind and rain outside became louder and louder, and Zhao Chen gradually woke up.

He felt that the boat was shaking, his mind was still a little dizzy, and he shook his head, and Zhao Chen looked around.

"What is this place? Why am I on the boat again? Hey! ”

Suddenly, Zhao Chen let out a soft snort, and he found that he was lying on the bed all over.

Zhao Chen stayed there.

The bed was a mess, and his clothes were beside him.

At that moment, Zhao Chen put on his clothes, and he sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking carefully about what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday, I smelled a sweet fragrance for a while, it should be the fragrance of **incense!"

"Who the hell saved me?"

"What the hell happened last night?"

"Last night, I was almost dying, and I had a lot of dreams...... In my dream, there was a woman by my side, and I hugged her tightly...... And also...... I would do something like that......"

Zhao Chen closed his eyes and thought.

After a while, Zhao Chen raised his head and opened his eyes, he looked around suspiciously.

He vaguely smelled a scent, the scent of the woman's body. He lowered his head and found a long hair. The hair is black and shiny, not his hair.

Zhao Chen slammed off the bed and headed towards the outside of the cabin.

The heavy rain was pouring down, dripping on the person's body was unusually cold, his internal injuries had not healed, it shouldn't have been like this, but Zhao Chen didn't care about it.

He looked around a little anxiously, the waves were monstrous, and a wave hit the board of the boat, and the sea water splashed on Zhao Chen's body, and suddenly his clothes became damp.

"It's her! It had to be her! Last night, a lot of things must have happened, and she saved me again! Why did she leave? Why? ”

Looking at the vast sea in front of him, Zhao Chen suddenly had an unusual feeling of anxiety and reluctance, he jumped off the board of the boat, came to the beach, and strode forward.

"Miss Song, where are you? Come out quickly! ”

"Hurry up!"

"I know you're around here!"

He shouted loudly, and the sound of wind and rain could not hide his shout, but he screamed for a long time, and he did not hear a response.

"Damn! I'm such a fool and a bastard! ”

Zhao Chen didn't know why, and kept scolding himself.

After a long time, he finally stopped.

His body was already wet, he looked at the vast sea in the distance, and his heart was like the sea in front of him, undulating and not calm at all.

He has been through a lot since he was a child, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be, but he just can't control himself.

He shouted loudly to the sea.

He felt as if he had been completely reborn, and he was never the same as before.

He doesn't seem to be his former self anymore.

"What the hell did I do?"

He sighed softly.

"After Lin'an City was defeated, I thought that the world would be unified, and since then I have been in high spirits, and only the Jurchen barbarians remain! I thought I was completely mature, and there was nothing in the world that I couldn't do or can't do! Who knew that so many things happened one after another! Forget it, let's return to Lin'an City first, the situation in Jiangnan must not be chaotic! In the future, I will naturally find her! ”

"There are priorities, as long as she lives, I will find her, but the situation in Jiangnan cannot be delayed!"

The expression on Zhao Chen's face changed, and he finally made a decision after a long time.

He left the beach step by step, but when he left, there was a faint struggle in his heart. He still wanted to stay here to look for Song Qingyao, but he didn't stop after all.

******

At this moment, in Lin'an City, it is also stormy.

In a mansion on the east side of Lin'an City, the construction here is magnificent.

In the depths of the house is a garden, and it is already the middle of March, and the spring in Jiangnan has already arrived, although there is wind and rain, and the garden is already green.

In a house next to the garden, there are seven people sitting at the moment!

The person sitting on the main seat has gray hair, beard, and wrinkles on his face, which is the time of the great Confucian Yang in the south of the Yangtze River.

When Miao Liu mutinied, Yang Shi hid at home and didn't dare to go out at all.

When Miao Liu mutinied, Zhao Chen entered Lin'an, and he also obediently hid in his own house.

It was not until Zhao Chen's assassination that Yang Shi began to be active again.

The other six people in the room were also dressed up politely, some were holding folding fans in their hands, some were holding books in their hands, they were all over fifty years old, they were elegant, they were all Confucians in Jiangnan!

There is a person next to Yang Shi's left hand who is about fifty years old, his body is slightly thin, but his eyes are unusually bright, and his hair and beard have turned gray, it can be seen that he was also a handsome person when he was young! His name is Li Tong! Like Yang Shi, he is also a disciple of Ercheng, but when he apprenticed, Ercheng was old, so he was taught by Yang Shishi, speaking of which, he is also a disciple of Yang Shi! Historically, his fame is also great, because he is the teacher of Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi inherited the Ercheng knowledge from Li Tong, and finally carried forward the science of science, making the science of science a success.

There was a person next to Yang Shi's right hand who was also older, with white hair and dizzy eyes, he was tall, but now he was old, and his waist was already a little arched. He occasionally raised his hand to drink tea, but his hands trembled. His name is Luo Congyan, and he is also a disciple of Ercheng, a great Confucian in Jiangnan. During the Ming Dynasty, he entered the Temple of Literature with Zhuge Liang, Zhu Xi, Wen Tianxiang and others, and was worshiped by the state, and he was also a Confucian scholar.

The remaining four people are all Jiangnan Confucians, and they were respected in the past, which is not trivial.

The window was open at the moment, and they were talking and listening to the rain.

"Mr. Yang, it's a big mess today! There has just been a military accident in Lin'an City, what are you calling us here for? "A great Confucian.

"I have called you gentlemen to come, and naturally there is something important." Yang Shidao.

He glanced at him, and the beautiful maids in the room withdrew and closed the door.

Seeing that Yang Shi was so cautious, the rest of the Confucians were also cautious at the moment, knowing that what Yang Shi said was not trivial.

"Mr. Yang, let's talk about it quickly." A great Confucianism.

"The Jurchen invasion, the country was in turmoil, and Emperor Jianyan turned the tide in the troubled times, which made the country stable! Later, in Jiangnan, Emperor Jianyan loved the people diligently and respected Confucianism, which was admirable! On the other hand, Emperor Xuanwu, he ascended the throne again when Emperor Jianyan had already succeeded to the throne, splitting the country, and deserving of death! He also promoted the tyranny of the Qin Emperor, only advocating force, and did not know the merits of culture and education! Emperor Jianyan was supposed to be a generation of saints, but he was brutally killed by Emperor Xuanwu, which is really a sigh! Yang Shi said.

After Yang Shi finished speaking, the rest of the Confucians nodded one after another.

Over the years, Zhao Gou has indeed respected these great Confucians very much, and has also attached great importance to Confucianism. And Zhao Chen propagated militaristic ideas in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan and Shu, which are very different from Confucianism's "moderation", "indisputability" and so on, and Jiangnan Confucianism will not accept Zhao Chen at all!

"But the destiny of heaven is destined, Emperor Xuanwu is not the true dragon son at all! He had just killed Emperor Jianyan when he himself was assassinated! Yang Shi laughed and laughed, with excitement on his face.

"Emperor Xuanwu was assassinated, is it true or false?" A great Confucianism.

"It's definitely true! That night, Emperor Xuanwu's subordinates mobilized troops to the West Lake area! It is said that this Emperor Xuanwu was shameless, he had just occupied Lin'an, and he pampered Emperor Jianyan's concubine on the West Lake, but the assassins found the right time to assassinate him! Yang Shi said with a lewd smile on his face.

"I also heard about the assassination of Emperor Xuanwu! There should be no mistake! Li Tong said.

"Not bad! The assassination must be true, in the past few days, those soldiers and horses under Emperor Xuanwu are still looking for it! Luo Congyan also spoke.

These people said that Zhao Chen might be assassinated, and the Confucian who was originally a little skeptical didn't ask any more.

"Emperor Xuanwu is already rebellious, his sin deserves death, he is dead and dead, there is nothing! It's just that the country can't be without a king for a day, and hundreds of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty can't be left unled! I have gathered you today for this very purpose! Yang Shi said.

After Yang Shi finished speaking, the rest of the six Great Confucians all frowned at this moment.

"Mr. Yang, His Majesty Jianyan is dead, the crown prince Zhao Yang is also dead, and the rest of the royal family are in the north and are imprisoned by the Jurchens, who do we make emperor?" Li Tong said.

"Who said the rest of the royal family is in the north?" Yang Shidao.

"What does Mr. Yang mean?" Li Tong's eyes showed a look of confusion.

"The Taizong lineage has been either killed or captured, but there are still people in the Taizu lineage who have survived, and now there are many people in Jiangnan!" Yang Shi said with a smile on his face.

"Ahh The rest of the Jiangnan Confucians stayed there one after another.

"Not bad! There is also the Taizu lineage! After a while, Li Tong nodded in agreement.

"From the founding of the country to the present, Taizu's lineage has been relegated to Jiangnan, and now there are many children, but gradually there is not much difference from the common people!" Luo Congyan also nodded.

Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was a generation of overlords, who replaced the Later Zhou and dominated the world. It's just that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died early, and Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne.

Regarding the reason for Zhao Kuangyin's death, it was rumored in the Song Dynasty that it was the "sound of candle shadow axe", and it was also recorded in the history books of later generations.

Zhao Kuangyin was seriously ill in the ninth year of Kaibao, and the queen sent her confidant eunuch Wang Jien to summon her fourth son Zhao Defang into the palace in order to arrange the future affairs and let Zhao Defang succeed to the throne. It's just that Zhao Guangyi has already peeked into the throne and has bought Wang Jien many years ago. After Wang Jien left the palace, he immediately went to find Zhao Guangyi. After Zhao Guangyi entered the palace, he came to Zhao Kuangyin's bedroom without notification. Wang Jien returned to the palace, and the queen asked "Defang Laiye", and Wang Jien said "King Jin is the best". The king of Jin is Zhao Guangyi, after Zhao Guangyi entered Zhao Kuangyin's dormitory, the eunuchs and palace maids in the distance saw Zhao Guangyi's figure moving under the shadow of the candle, as if he was fighting with people, and then they heard the sound of "pillar axe poking the ground", and Zhao Kuangyin immediately "died of illness". In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne in front of Zhao Kuangyin's coffin.

After Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, Zhao Kuangyin's sons appeared one after another. Zhao Kuangyin had a total of four sons, the eldest son died early, the second son Zhao Dezhao was forced to kill himself, the third son died early, and the fourth son Zhao Defang "died of illness" at the age of twenty-three.

The ancients married very early, and Zhao Kuangyin's sons killed themselves or "died of illness" in the prime of life, but they all had children and grandchildren to pass on to future generations. However, most of their children and grandchildren were also degraded, among which several of Zhao Defang's sons were demoted to Jiangnan, and their children and grandchildren also settled in Jiangnan.

Up to now, Zhao Kuangyin's descendants basically no longer have titles, and they live an ordinary life like ordinary people.

They are no longer the children of the royal family, but they also have the blood of the Zhao family in their bodies.

Historically, after the death of Zhao Yang, Zhao Gou's only son, Zhao Gou found a person from the descendants of Song Taizu as his adopted son, and then used his adopted son to inherit his throne.

"Yes, Mr. Yang is right!" Another big Confucian nodded.

"It's just that there are quite a lot of descendants of Taizu, who can inherit the throne?" A great Confucianism.

"I carefully studied the genealogy, Zhao Zicheng, the sixth grandson of Taizu, is diligent and honest, knows poetry and books, and can inherit the throne." Yang Shi smiled.

This Zhao Zicheng is the biological father of Song Xiaozong in history, and Song Xiaozong's adoptive father is Zhao Gou! It's just that now that Zhao Gou is dead, it is impossible for Song Xiaozong to appear again! As for Song Xiaozong's biological father, he will also be unknown! However, Yang Shi sent him to the stage of history again.

"Oh? Where is he now? Li Tong said.

"He's in Lin'an City right now! If you agree, I'll be able to find him at any time!" Yang Shi said.

"Now there are two more things, first, we don't know if that Emperor Xuanwu is really dead? Although he was assassinated, he may not be killed! Although Luo Congyan was old and dizzy, he still said.

"Emperor Xuanwu should be dead! Otherwise, he should have appeared a long time ago to calm the current situation in Lin'an. Li Tong said.

"Emperor Xuanwu will definitely die, don't worry about it! A tyrant like him simply can't survive, and the heavens won't bless him! Yang Shi said with a smile.

"The second question, Emperor Xuanwu still has 100,000 troops in Jiangnan, how do we deal with these armies?" Luo Congyan said.

"An army of 100,000? It's just some lowly soldiers, their status is extremely low, how can they be compared with our Confucian scholars! Yang Shi said disdainfully.

"That's what Mr. Yang said! The lowliest people in the world are those soldiers, they have no way! Li Tong also nodded.

"In this way, let's take a look at that Zhao Zicheng! Let's see if he can take the helm of the country instead! Luo Congyan said.

"Not bad! On the one hand, we want to contact Zhao Zicheng, and on the other hand, we want to connect all the Confucians in Jiangnan! Even if Emperor Xuanwu really didn't die, we Jiangnan Confucians could join forces to compete with him! From ancient times to the present, there has been no king in the past who did not respect Confucianism! Those who are unwilling to respect Confucianism have only a dead end. Li Tong said.

"That's what Mr. Li said!" The rest of the Confucians nodded their heads.

These great Confucians talked for a while, and finally dispersed.

Yang Shi was standing in his house at the moment, with a sense of high spirits.

"The old man will go to that Zhao Zicheng now and let him come out to inherit the throne of the Great Song Dynasty!" Yang Shi said secretly.
