Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

At this time, the palace was extremely quiet. Even the eunuchs and maids who had been guarding inside knelt on the ground like quails when they saw this scene.

They felt even more uneasy.

Unlike those from aristocratic families or ministers in the imperial court, they could still love or wait for the change of dynasty to serve the new master.

It's not like those ordinary palace maids and eunuchs who can continue to stay and work.

They have always been by the emperor's side. If the emperor is gone, they will have a good life.

Some of them were brave enough to even raise their heads and look at Xiao Ran.

Although they may not be able to do anything else, these eunuchs and palace maids are first-rate when it comes to observing words and emotions.

Of course they could see that Xiao Ran was now the real talker.

"Okay, then I'll tell you this about your affairs." Xiao Ran cleared his throat.

"I will say some things frankly. Of course, these words must not sound good." Xiao Ran yawned. Even if Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou failed to live up to their expectations, they are of royal blood. There will always be people holding them up.

Although Zhao Huan suffered some hardships, in order to maintain this mascot, the Jin people once treated him well and built a small palace with dozens or hundreds of people to serve him, including even women. During the years when she was kidnapped, she even had several children.

This life is a bit worse than that of the emperor in his heyday, but compared to a modern person like Xiao Ran, who was once a social animal, it is still considered comfortable.

However, Song Huizong was stabbed in the back by his own blood in the end, and finally froze to death alive.

"Then let's talk about you first, Zhao Huan. You have only been emperor for two years. The main reason for the current deadlock is indeed not you..."

Hearing Xiao Ran say this, he breathed a huge sigh of relief, but then, when he heard Xiao Ran's next sentence, his face became stiff again.

"However, you are also indispensable for being able to mess things up at a critical juncture. If it is mainly because you are afraid of death, then there is really no way to save it."

When Xiao Ran said these words, his face, which had relaxed a little, suddenly became tense.

"If I remember correctly, in October of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Liao Kingdom. After that, they divided their forces into two groups and went south to attack the Song Dynasty, approaching Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty."

"At that time, your father Zhao Ji was not very upbeat. He grabbed the hand of Cai Jing's eldest son and Privy Councilor Cai You in horror and said: I never thought that the Jin army would dare to march in like this!"

"I don't know whether your unsatisfactory father was frightened or something else. He was choked with breath and fell into coma and fell under the bed. The ministers rushed to give him medicine and gave him first aid. Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, regained consciousness and reached out for paper and pen."

He was really scared. If the city was destroyed, he would definitely be arrested as the imperial capital, and he would have to "leave his name in the history books forever".

So the next thing became logical, just saying "the crown prince can become the emperor".

Therefore, the 26-year-old prince Zhao Huan ascended the throne as Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty and changed his reign name to Jingkang.

The Supreme Emperor packed up his baggage and ran away quickly, leaving Zhao Huan to clean up the mess.

Xiao Ran said it bluntly, even in front of Zhao Huan himself: "The main problem of Song Qinzong Zhao Huan is that like his father Song Huizong Zhao Ji, he was indecisive, capricious, and lacked judgment on political issues."

"After you came to the throne, you immediately demoted Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, and then re-appointed Li Gang to fight against the Jin Dynasty. But in the end, because of your cowardice and indecisiveness, you later listened to the slander of the traitor, dismissed Li Gang, and asked for peace with the Jin Dynasty."

Logically speaking, Zhao Huan's face should be burning after hearing what Xiao Ran said, but now, it seems as if he is numb.

Looking at Xiao Ran and Taizu Zhao Kuangyin in front of him, he lowered his head silently.

Zhao Kuangyin clutched his chest, gritting his teeth tightly as he looked at the unsatisfactory look of his descendants, wanting to smash the tea cup in his hand.

But thinking about the submissive nature he had developed over the years, he felt that doing this was pointless.

When he looked up, he saw Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou in front of him. Zhao Kuangyin was speechless for a moment.

I wanted to scold Song Huizong for not taking the lead, but now that he is dead, it's all over.

Xiao Ran looked at Zhao Kuangyin's appearance and quickly comforted him: "The officials don't have to be so sad. In fact, the Song Dynasty still has good ministers."

"Even though those ministers have meritorious services and faults, there are still people who stand up at the critical moment of protecting the country."

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly became interested when he heard what Xiao Ran said, and asked quickly: "Who is Mr. Xiao talking about?"

"This brings us to the shame of Jingkang. In the first month of the first year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin army crossed the Yellow River and martial law began in Kaifeng, the capital. The assistant minister persuaded Song Qinzong Zhao Huan to escape to Xiangyang."

"But at that time, Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang requested to go to the palace for an interview. He said to Song Qinzong Zhao Huan: Emperor Daojun awarded the clan to His Majesty, but you intend to abandon it. Is this appropriate?"

"Zhao Huan didn't answer in silence at that time. Prime Ministers Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan said that the capital could not be defended and they had to avoid it."

"Li Gang retorted: Which city in the world can be as strong as the capital? Moreover, the ancestral temple, the government, hundreds of officials, and all the people are here, how can we throw it away! Today's plan is to rectify the army and horses, unite the army and the people, hold on to the capital, and wait for the arrival of King Qin. division."

After hearing this, the kneeling Zhao Huan's face gradually turned red.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes fell on him and he asked.

"Zhao Huan, what did you do and how did you respond?"

This question was like a thunderbolt falling on Zhao Huan's head, awakening him from the confusion he had been holding hostage for all these years.

The layers of confusion surrounding him gradually dissipated. Zhao Huan had lived in a haze for many years. Now he was a little clearer, and his memory returned to that time.

The scene at that time appeared in front of Zhao Huan's eyes as if it was yesterday.

"I asked at that time, who can be the commander-in-chief and command the resistance against Jin?"

"Li Gang replied: Although Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan may not be familiar with military affairs, as prime ministers, it is their duty to comfort the soldiers and resist the Jin soldiers."

"But Bai Shizhong said angrily: Could it be that Li Gang can't lead his troops into battle?"

"Li Gang said again: Your Majesty does not think that I am cowardly and incompetent, so I put you in charge of military affairs. I am willing to die in retribution!"

"So, I appointed Li Gang to stay in Tokyo and be responsible for defending Tokyo against the Jin army."

Seeing that Zhao Huan stopped talking, he smiled and asked, "Why didn't you say the rest?"

"How about I tell it for you?"

"At that time, the chamberlain came to urge her that Queen Zhu was ready to leave Kaifeng. But when you heard this, your face changed and you couldn't sit still."

"I can't stay here anymore. Please don't keep me here. I want to set off with the Queen."

"Is this what you said?"

Xiao Ran said it jokingly, but when Zhao Huan listened, he felt more and more regretful in his heart. If he hadn't escaped at that time, might his life have been different these years?
