Chapter 239 - 1st day of the first month

Even though the Guan Shan was covered in snow, it was abnormally cold in the south of the river!

In front of a huge house located to the south of the Linan Residence, a minister dressed in the uniform of the imperial court was standing there! Countless servants followed behind the official.

The Minister gave off an abnormal feeling of "integrity". At this moment, he was standing there quietly!

After a while, the front door of the mansion opened and an old man in his seventies walked out!

"Lord Qin, why have you personally come to this old one's place?" The seventy-plus year old man's face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.

"Mr. Yang is a grand character of the Confucian School and is well-known throughout the world! Today is the first day of the new year, so naturally, I must pay my respects to Mr. Yang! " The first rank official bowed and said.

"Quick, quick, quick!" "Quick, come in!" The seventy year old man was overjoyed.

Immediately, the first rank official followed the old man into the residence! The house was magnificent, with servants everywhere and countless beautiful maids! The first rank official did not even look at these maids. Instead, it was the elder in his seventies who kept glancing around, revealing a lecherous expression from time to time.

The La Plum in the yard had already bloomed. It was incomparably beautiful!

The old man led the official into the main room, which was abnormally warm. So there was a furnace burning here! The window slightly opened, and the fragrance of the La Plum outside continuously wafted in. It was really refreshing!

Two teenage girls came in with hot tea and placed it on the table! When the maid left, the old man even touched the butt of a maid with a lewd smile on his face. Let's not mention this!

The old man was so wretched, but the first rank official's face did not change at all, as if he had turned a blind eye! He despised this old man in his heart, but he still maintained a respectful expression on his face!

"Lord Qin, you have been home for more than a year?" The old man said.

"Yeah, it's been over a year now!" The minister nodded and said.

"Last year, you proposed a scheme to the Emperor, joined forces with Valkyrie, and attacked Guan Shan. You defeated the Xuanwu False Monarch, famous throughout the world! This old one is also very impressed by you, Lord Qin! " The old man said.

"I don't dare!" The Minister hurriedly said.

"But last June, why did you return from Guan Shan? You should stay there and continue commanding the battle! " The old man said.

"The situation in the court is complicated. I have been framed by a traitor, so I have no choice but to return!" The Minister said.

"I understand that too!" Some of the people in the court are really hard to watch! " The old man nodded and said.

"Mr. Yang, aside from paying my respects to you, I have another important matter to discuss with you today!" The Minister said.

"What is it? Speak! " The old man said.

At this moment, the old man secretly frowned. He thought that if this matter would offend others, he definitely wouldn't do it!

"Mr. Yang, it's like this, Mister Mingdao and Mr. Ichuan are famous throughout the world, and are the saints of Confucianism! I want to persuade His Majesty to compile the wills, books, and scriptures of the two gentlemen into a book and send them to the Imperial College. In addition, from now on, the Imperial Examinations can also be used as a topic by you two gentlemen! I would like to ask Mr. Yang to join me in persuading His Majesty. The Minister said.

"AHH!" The old man was stunned!

Mr. Mindao and Mr. Ichuan are the famous historical people Cheng Feng, Cheng Yi, one of the founding fathers of Confucianism! But now, although philosophy has become the mainstream of Confucianism, but before Zhu Xi, science has not been officially recognized by the authorities! Science has not officially entered the university, the Imperial Examinations will not bias the science! However, according to this official, if the Emperor were to agree to his request, he would immediately become an official scholar of the Confucian school!

"I wonder if Mr. Yang can agree?" The Minister spoke again.

"This... "Of course I'll agree to that!" The old man was so excited that his face flushed red and his voice trembled.

"However, there is another difficulty. Although I am the Deputy, I have been framed!" I am afraid that His Majesty may not listen to my words! " The Minister said.

"This... "You and I together..." The old man said.

"I'm afraid the both of us can't even make it together!" The Minister said again.

"Then what?" The old man said.

"I'm afraid I'll need the help of these Southern Jiangnan scholars!" The Minister spoke again!

The two of them discussed in the room for a long time! Other than this, there were also other important matters that were discussed! After the Minister left, the old man was still very excited, immediately the old man contacted a famous scholar in Lian City!

In the middle of the night, the old man had accompanied over 10 elites of the Lian City to submit a written report, impeaching the position of Prime Minister Wang Boyan, Procurator of Linan Huang Qianshan, embezzlement, embezzlement, possession of a woman, and dozens of other crimes! After that, the old man immediately contacted the other Jiangnan scholars and prepared to impeach Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan in the name of the entire Jiang-Nan Confucian world! In front of all the great scholars of Jiangnan, even Emperor Jianyan Zhao Gou had to make a move! Zhao Gou also did not have the guts to fight against the entire Confucianism world.

It was already deep into the night. In Five Kingdoms, which was thousands of kilometers away, the place was abnormally desolate and cold!

It was a very small city in the north. There were only about a thousand people in it, and more than half of them were female soldiers. These female soldiers were already sleeping soundly as they laid on the hot brick bed.

Other than these female soldiers, the rest of the people here were all former subjects of the Northern Song Dynasty!

The famous Song Huizong and Song Chin Zong in history were all inside this Five Kingdoms!

Unfortunately, they did not have the treatment of female soldiers! The real female soldiers could lie on the hot brick bed, but they could only lie on the cold ground!

The house they were living in was also abnormally dilapidated. Outside, the cold wind continued to blow! The temperature here was abnormally cold, especially in the ancient times. The temperature here had already reached -50 degrees Celsius!

Song Huizong's body trembled, he simply could not fall asleep!

Back in Kaifeng, although he was already over 40 years old, he had maintained his strength well. He looked no different from a young man! Now they were at Xuanwu for five years. In the past five years, he seemed incomparably old, his hair was completely white, his face was full of wrinkles, and he was coughing from time to time! If history had not changed, he would have died of illness in four years!

Other than Song Huizong, there were a few other eunuchs in the room. These eunuchs were also trembling, and could not fall asleep!

"Go call the Emperor!" Song Huizong was unable to sleep, and said immediately.

The Emperor he was talking about was naturally his son, Song Chin Zong. Back then, when Song Chin Zong ascended to the throne, he was already the Supreme Emperor!

Song Chin Zong was currently in a room in the southeast corner, he was squeezed together with a few court officials, warming each other up! But even so, he couldn't sleep!

The eunuch came over, and Song Chin Zong followed the eunuch to Song Huizong's room!

"This son greets royal father!" Even in Five Kingdoms, even if it was a puppet, Song Chin Zong's etiquette did not decrease in the slightest!

"Let the Emperor rise! I couldn't sleep, so I came to talk to you! " Song Huizong said.

"Father!" Song Chin Zong let out a long sigh, feeling depressed in his heart.

"When do you think we'll end up like this?" Song Huizong said.

"I heard that Ninth Brother has already ascended the throne in Jiangnan. Perhaps in the future, Ninth Brother will be able to rescue us and bring us back!" Song Chin Zong said.

"This morning, I heard those Jin Army talk about a Emperor Xuanwu! It seems like there are two Great Song Emperor s in the south! " Song Huizong said.

"Ah?" Two Great Song Emperor s? How is that possible? " Song Chin Zong said in disbelief.

The disciples of the imperial family had all gone to the north. Other than Zhao Gou, there was no one else! He didn't know who else would ascend to the throne.

"I want to ask those Jin Army s, but I don't dare. I'll have the eunuchs ask, that Emperor Xuanwu seems to be Chen Er!" Song Huizong said.

"What?" Song Chin Zong just stood there. After a while, he said, "Didn't Chen Er die in the war?"

That day when Zhao Chen used Little Three as his substitute and even escaped by himself, the matter was already known by the entire world! But since Song Huizong and the Song Chin Zong were locked in the Five Kingdoms, they knew all about this news as if it was normal!

"Chen Er seems to still be alive! Furthermore, he defeated Jin Army! " Song Huizong said.

"This... This … The heavens will not kill my Song Dynasty! Unfortunately, the empress was already dead! Chen Er was already someone without a mother! It's all my fault, I let them down! " Song Chin Zong suddenly knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying loudly!

Song Huizong also covered his face and cried! They had been locked up here for five years and suffered for five years. During these five years, they had naturally thought back on their past actions and regretted it a long time ago! Whether it was Hua Shi Gang or those treacherous officials, they all regretted it to the extreme! They even secretly swore that if they could return to the Central Plains, they wouldn't be like before!

"But now the Song Dynasty actually has two emperors? What should I do? " Song Chin Zong said after a while.

"Chen Er is the eldest son of the Royal Family, so it is only right and proper for him to inherit the position of emperor! On the other hand, your ninth brother is merely a vassal lord, and should be supporting Chen Er, how can she take the initiative to ascend the throne? But from the looks of it now, he's a traitor to her subjects as well! " Song Huizong said.

Song Chin Zong nodded, showing his agreement! Originally, if his own son was already dead, he would naturally support Zhao Gou becoming the King. But his son was still alive, how could he support Zhao Gou becoming the King?

"Is Little San well?" Song Huizong said again.

"He's still okay, I've already taken him in as my foster son! Change your name to Zhao San! " Song Chin Zong said.

He thought that his son had died, so he accepted Little San, who looked the same, as his foster son.

"That's good too! "Today is the first day of the new year, and I've also hidden two steamed buns here. Go get him, and we will have a New Year together!" Song Huizong said.

After a while, Little San also walked in. The three of them cried as they ate the steamed buns. In the end, the three of them hugged each other to resist the cold. Slowly, the three of them fell asleep!

At this moment, in the far northwest, there was also a snowstorm!

There were mountain peaks everywhere. On top of one of these mountain peaks, there was a white-clothed girl standing there!

The cold wind blew, and her clothes swayed incessantly! Her expression was calm, as if she was enjoying the cold wind!

Not long after, a girl in black clothes appeared behind her!

"Master, I'm about to head south!" Hearing the voice behind her, the girl slowly spoke.

The cold wind howled, but the young lady's voice was clearly heard by the black clothed man.

"The martial arts world is dangerous, take care!" The girl said.

"Master, are we really going to help that Emperor Jianyan this time?" The young girl said again.

"Of course! Emperor Jianyan is a Sovereign King that has been bestowed with the will of heaven. Since I have always sent people to help the Sovereign King, I should naturally help him! " The girl said.

"Disciple understands!" The young girl nodded.

"Also, you must give this map to the Emperor Jianyan for him to use!" The girl said again.

She handed a map to the young girl, who took it and hid it close to her! Then she turned and bowed to the man in black and strode down the hill.
