Chapter 1: Slaying the Dragon
In 1217 AD, in the autumn of the tenth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, Shaoxing Mansion.
In the evening, a teenager came out of Shaoxing Mansion School and walked towards home, the young man smiled, presumably he had encountered something extremely happy, the sunset of autumn rì was reflected on his face, so that this seemingly ordinary teenager had a little more brilliance, this young man's name was Zhao Youju, and he was the ninth grandson of Zhao Dezhao, the son of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Dezhao is the second son of Zhao Kuangyin, but after Zhao Kuangyin's death, he was the successor to the throne of his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, so that Zhao Dezhao's line was not related to the throne of the Song State.
Although he has the title of a royal clan, he did not get any substantial benefits, Zhao and Ju's father Zhao Xixuan did not have any titles, just a low-level petty official, and died when Zhao and Ju were seven years old, and after the family had no financial resources, Zhao and Ju's mother Quan took the family to Shaoxing Mansion to take refuge in his mother's family.
Quan's elder brother was the chief of the security department in Shaoxing Mansion, and the chief of the security officer could be said to be the lowest official of the Song Kingdom, the so-called five families were together, and ten families were the protectors, that is to say, Zhao Heju's uncle was only in charge of ten households, which shows that Rìzi was not rich, and even a slightly richer merchant could not compare, so he could only barely eat and wear.
As Zhao Heju, who lives in the whole family, there is no difference between eating white food, and he will naturally be snubbed and looked down upon by the whole family, but because he has the title of a royal clan, he can go to Shaoxing Mansion School with his younger brother Zhao and Rui, which is what makes the children of the whole family jealous.
From here, it can be seen that Zhao and Ju's rìzi is not good, even as ordinary people, but no one could have imagined that after four years, he would be valued by Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the Song State, and took him to the palace to inherit the throne of King Yi.
Fate is so incredible.
At this time, the young man who was still called Zhao Youju did not know that he would become the emperor of this country in seven years, and the reason why he was happy was because he received the news that Taixue in Lin'an Mansion was going to enroll him in school, Taixue was a school subordinate to Guozijian, and only recruited the children of officials and civilians below the eighth grade, and provided room and board.
These are not the point, the point is that entering Taixue is a shortcut to a career, for Zhao Youju, who lives in the family, this is a great opportunity, as long as he can get the recognition and recommendation of the teacher in Taixue, he can seek a half-official position, take his mother and younger brother out, and no longer send people under the fence.
The boy is looking forward to a better future, and his steps are becoming more and more relaxed.
However, he didn't know that this was just a layout called the Dragon Slayer Knife, he was the most important chess piece in this layout, and two years ago he was targeted by a young man in the middle capital thousands of miles away, that young man was the same age as him, but his status was very different, that young man was the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom.
If history had not changed, Zhao Youju would have become an emperor and would have reigned for forty years, but it was a pity that he met a time-traveler, which was his misfortune.
His Majesty Yan Kang, the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, did not know who the next emperor of the Song Kingdom would be, and his knowledge of history was not rich, mostly from novels and TV series, and after he became the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he began to think about how to stop the rise of the Mongols in the face of the Mongol threat.
According to the emperor's usual direct means, killing Temujin was undoubtedly the best choice, so there was a shè wolf plan, but under the education of Yelu Chucai and Wanyan Honglie, he also tried to solve the problem by other methods, what if the Song State and the Jin State joined forces to deal with the Mongols?
Just as in the Three Kingdoms period, Wu and Shu united against the powerful Wei State, but the Song State and the Jin State can be said to be the enemy of the country, and it is undoubtedly impossible to want a real union, but the Emperor Xi à is a Han person, he thinks about the problem from a different angle, I am a Han person, since I can be the emperor of the Jin State, why can't I be the emperor of the Song State?
According to this line of thought, the dragon slayer knife plan was gradually released.
Emperor His Majesty relied on his shallow historical knowledge to know that the Song Emperor Zhao Kuan was going to die in a few years, and the powerful minister Shi Miyuan supported a new emperor, this new emperor was very young, this is the result of the emperor's speculation, so he asked his ministers to check the genealogy of the Zhao royal family, from which they found dozens of teenagers, and then checked one by one, and finally determined that the three teenagers were most likely to become the next new emperors of the Song State.
Among the three teenagers, only Zhao and Ju are the same age as the Emperor Xià, with similar body shapes, of course, they are not as handsome as the Emperor Majesty, which can be compensated for by the Guò Disguise Technique, the Murong family Jīng is a disguise technique, Murong Fu and that Ah Zhu are all disguise masters, and Murong Yan has also inherited this, which is the reason why she and the Western Xia prince Li Chengzhen have been able to flee all the time.
But the disguise technique can't be vivid, not to mention that everyone's habits are different, and these details of life can't be hidden from the people around them, so a year ago, Emperor Xià sent someone to Shaoxing to observe, he wanted to know about Zhao and Ju, including habits and actions, social relations, and even conflicts with the children of the whole family, this is undoubtedly a long-term plan.
As Lou Shidao said, this is an unbelievable plan, even if someone replaces Zhao and Ju, how can it be guaranteed that this young man will become the emperor of the Song State, and then reach a strategic alliance with the Jin State to jointly deal with Mongolia, unless the emperor knows in advance that this young man named Zhao and Ju will definitely become the emperor of the Song State, that is the prophet of the future.
And if someone is sent to replace this young man and change the process of this fate, who knows if there are other variables in it? The emperor didn't think about it so much, anyway, as long as he replaced Zhao Youju, then the next step would be to embark on a road against the sky, so that this ordinary young man could become the emperor of the Song Kingdom as quickly as possible.
However, if the emperor really died in the shè wolf plan, naturally there were other teenagers to replace Zhao and Ju to continue to complete this dragon slaying knife plan, Lou Shidao was the executor of the plan, shè heavenly wolf plan to make Mongolia civil strife, and the dragon slayer knife plan made Song and Jin form an alliance, so that the three kingdoms gradually became a trend, and Mongolia could no longer dominate the world as it did in history.
Three years later, the young Zhao and Ju set off from Shaoxing Mansion and took a boat to Lin'an Mansion to report Taixue, he thought about his uncle's flattering expression, thought of the envious and jealous eyes of the whole family, and thought of the relief in his mother's eyes, he made up his mind that he must live as a person, with this excitement he fell asleep in the cabin, but never woke up.
In 1217 AD, on an autumn afternoon, in the Taixue of the Lin'an Mansion of the Song Kingdom, a young man named Zhao Youju came to report, and he looked at the official school of the Song Kingdom, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. (To be continued.) )
