Drowsily, Zhao Xu slowly opened his eyes.
When the curtain falls and the beaded curtains are strung up, your nose can smell the faint fragrance, which is elegant, fragrant and natural.
The quilt covering my body is warm and comfortable, with bright patterns and elegant colors.
Zhao Xu recognized it at a glance.
This is the craftsmanship of Toizenin and Ayanishinin!
No matter the weavers, colors, or patterns, only Tozo-in and Ayanishin-in can make them.
Although it can be imitated in modern times, it doesn't have that taste.
Just like Zhao Ji's thin gold body, middle school students can copy it.
But no one can describe that taste.
"Are you dreaming again?" Zhao Xu laughed.
But this dream is a little too real.
He had had similar dreams in the past, but none of them were as real as this one!
Zhao Xu reached out and gently kneaded the patterns embroidered on the quilt.
The stitching is tight, the workmanship is exquisite, and it is very comfortable to touch.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu saw his hand.
That was clearly a child's hand!
Fair, delicate, thin...
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu felt that his throat was a little itchy, so he began to cough.
Ahem!
Then, a strange yet familiar woman's voice came from outside the curtain.
"Your Highness!"
It’s a title I haven’t heard in a long time!
Zhao Xu followed the sound and saw a person who seemed familiar, but had forgotten when he had met him.
She was a slightly plump woman wearing a pair of shorts, about forty years old, with a slightly round face and a few yellow spots left by the years. She wore a little powder and had bright and gentle eyes.
She bowed slightly, leaned over from the side of the curtain, smiled, and looked at Zhao Xu lovingly.
Zhao Xu looked at the woman and swallowed. His pupils suddenly contracted at this moment, and his breathing became rapid. The memory of his death resurfaced from the bottom of his heart, making Zhao Xu feel dizzy and confused in time and space. He didn't know where he was today. The feeling of the year!
"Grandma Guo..." He called the other party's name in a low voice.
A person who has long since passed away from his life and life.
Now, it appeared before his eyes alive.
Zhao Xu looked at his hands, those white and tender, thin hands.
Completely, just like a child's hand!
Incredible!
can not explain!
Zhao Xu was a little lost.
Grandma Guo’s round face that he had forgotten revealed a smile. The past and present were intertwined at this moment, extremely illusory, but also extremely real!
All I heard was Grandma Guo asking softly: "Has your highness' old illness relapsed?"
"Should we call Imperial Physician Qian into the palace?"
Zhao Xu took a deep breath, feeling the breathing in his lungs and trachea, and then shook his head: "No need, Granny Guo, I have nothing serious to do..."
"It was just a dream!"
"Nightmare?" Grandma Guo squatted outside the curtain and asked gently.
Zhao Xu exhaled and did not answer directly, but murmured to himself: "I seem to have had a long dream!"
He raised his head and leaned on the jade pillow, his eyes confused, wondering what was going on?
All the past events are surging in my heart, and all the vivid people and events are rolling in my heart. All kinds of regrets and reluctances are left in my heart, both bitter and sweet.
What is happening in front of us is unbelievable, like a dream, it is unbelievable, but we have to believe it.
Does Buddhist reincarnation really exist?
Otherwise, why can I live life after life? Now I can even reverse time!
Flowers will bloom again one day, and people will return to their youth!
"God loves me so much!" Zhao Xu murmured in a low voice, but the language he spoke was not the correct rhyme of the Song Dynasty, but Mandarin spoken more than nine hundred years later.
A language that is similar to Zhengyun, but has removed many entering tones.
"How lucky I am!"
He looked at the woman in front of him, his wet nurse, the loyal person chosen by his father to take care of him.
"Grandma Guo!" Zhao Xu looked at her seriously.
"Hey!" Grandma Guo responded gently to Zhao Xu's call: "My wife is here!"
"This time, I will never let anyone bully you again!" Zhao Xu said firmly.
The mother-in-law was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what His Highness meant, but she still smiled and said, "Your Highness is joking, who would bully a minister?"
Zhao Xu then laughed.
Indeed, under normal circumstances, no one would be bored and bully an emperor's wet nurse who was doing her job well in the palace.
But the problem is that although this wet nurse is honest and responsible, she was chosen by her father.
In the eyes of many people, everyone and everything that has anything to do with Zhao Xu’s father is guilty!
They must be exterminated and thoroughly cleaned up!
Therefore, when Zhao Xu was twelve years old, an incredible rumor appeared in the city of Tokyo.
Some people say that the imperial family sent people to conduct a beauty pageant for themselves in the name of selecting wet nurses in Tokyo.
All of a sudden, the civil servants became excited and wrote letters one after another to discuss the matter.
The result of the matter was that one day when Zhao Xu returned to Funing Hall from Niying Pavilion.
He found that around him, the maids and eunuchs who were personally selected by his father to serve him and take care of him were all gone.
Grandma Guo is no exception!
Twelve-year-old Zhao Xu suddenly felt his hands and feet were cold, his body was shaking, and his eyelids were twitching. He can still remember the feeling at that time.
Fear, shock, doubt, and anger are intertwined in my chest.
At that time, he felt like a bird in a cage.
Outside the cage, there were already crowds of jackals, tigers and leopards.
They were looking at me fiercely.
Just wait for him to make a mistake, then swarm him, drag him out of the cage and tear him to pieces!
Sometimes, when dreaming back in the middle of the night, Zhao Xu would even be so frightened that he would sit up from the bed.
He was afraid that he would be the next noble countryman!
No!
He is not even qualified to be a noble countryman.
At least Mr. Gao Gui still has loyal ministers around him, as well as soldiers who are willing to follow Mr. Gao in launching a fatal charge.
But what does he have?
Nothing at all!
Everyone around you is the eyes and ears of others!
Even a few ants in the garden can reach Cheng Yi's ears.
While thinking about the past, Zhao Xu looked at the furnishings in the dormitory. There were many screens, and you could vaguely see through the gaps in the bead curtains. In the surrounding screens, you could see the light and shadow of the charcoal fire in the brazier. Therefore, it was not winter now, so
It's early spring.
Zhao Xu thought about what Grandma Guo called him again.
Your Highness?
You haven’t ascended the throne yet?
In other words, the emperor is still alive?
Is it the seventh year of Yuanfeng or the eighth year of Yuanfeng?
He thought for a moment and then asked tentatively: "Mother-in-law, how is my father's illness?"
The mother-in-law sighed and said in a low voice: "I am just a villain, how can I dare to inquire about such important military and national affairs?!"
"However, I heard that famous doctors from various supervisory departments and local prefectures and counties have come to Beijing one after another..."
Zhao Xu listened and almost confirmed the time.
The eighth year of Yuanfeng, around February.
Because in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, although my father was already sick, he could still handle the affairs of the court and summon ministers.
Even on the first day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, my father even accepted congratulations from the Liao Kingdom's envoys.
It was after that that my father's health deteriorated.
Since February, I have been bedridden and even lost my ability to speak.
That's why supervisors and prefectures and counties from all over the country went crazy recruiting famous local doctors to come to Beijing.
This is a sign that the central government has become desperate and has begun to treat a dead horse as a living doctor.
In order to further confirm the time, Zhao Xu asked tentatively: "How are the two Mr. Zhishuo from Zishan Hall doing lately?"
Zishan Hall was the place where the princes of the Song Dynasty studied before they left the imperial court.
Among them, the officials include Yishan, Zandu, Zhishu, etc.
If Zhao Xu remembers correctly, there are currently only two Quan Zhidao in Zishan Hall, and both Yishan and Zandu are vacant.
"I don't know about this minister, but I heard from Feng Jing yesterday that for the public examination of the Ministry of Rites, the Secretary Supervisor transferred many people to the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites to assist in marking the papers, and the two Mr. Zhishi were also transferred there..."
Zhao Xu nodded.
Probably confirmed.
In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, before February 17th.
Why can you be so sure?
Because on February 17th, a fire broke out in the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites, killing more than thirty people and destroying most of the examination papers.
Among them were the two Zhisao who were transferred from Zishan Hall to the Ministry of Etiquette to cooperate with the examination.
Zhao Xu remembered this matter very clearly.
Because this matter was his first nightmare!
Zishantang's Zhishuo was the enlightenment teacher chosen by his father.
He is also a close person who has accompanied Zhao Xu throughout his childhood.
But before Zhao Xu was about to be confirmed as the crown prince, they were burned to ashes by a fire!
Then, Zhao Xu was surrounded by a bunch of ministers from the old law.
Su Shi, Su Che, Su Song, An Tao, Liu Anshi, Cheng Yi, Wang Yansou, Fan Zuyu, Fan Bailu...
Above these people, the leaders were two old guys.
Sima Guang, written by Lu Gong!
There is not even a new law minister!
Even the ministers who are inclined towards the new law cannot be found!
Why can't others see it?
Anyway, in the mind of Zhao Xu, who was young but already sensible at the time, there was only one comment on this: You are bullying the world!
The fire in Gongyuan, even if it was an accident, must be a long-planned conspiracy in Zhao Xu's opinion.
Deep fear and uneasiness followed him like a shadow, turning into a nightmare and a nightmare.
In the following nine years, these things were continuously intensified and superimposed.
"Your Highness... Your Highness..." Zhao Xu was lost in thought when the soft call of the mother-in-law came to his ears.
Zhao Xu came back to his senses, looked at Grandma Guo, and said, "I have nothing to do. Grandma Guo, please go down and rest!"
"Yes... I am retiring!" The woman hesitated for a moment, but then slowly retreated from the curtain and reached the outside of the screen.
Zhao Xu looked at Granny Guo's retreating figure and thought of the fate of this wet nurse in his previous life.
Since the age of twelve, Grandma Guo and others were expelled from Zhao Xu.
By the time Zhao Xu got news about these people again, it was already time for him to become an adult and take charge of the government, and by that time, Granny Guo had already died of illness in Tokyo.
After Zhao Xu learned the news, he became furious.
Directly order all relevant officials to be demoted!
All relevant eunuchs should be exiled!
Not satisfied with this, two years later, Zhao Xu was angry again and exiled the civil servants who had the highest scores that year!
However, for Zhao Xu now, these things happened a long, long, long time ago.
It's more than nine hundred years old.
No one could have imagined that he, who only lived for twenty-four years, would live another life more than nine hundred years later.
He woke up in a university dormitory in the new century and became a history college freshman with the same name as him.
Although he didn't know the reason, Zhao Xu quickly adapted to it.
The way he adapted was simple.
Observe more, learn more, talk less.
This is not difficult for Zhao Xu.
This is how Zhao Xu lived before he took charge at the age of seventeen.
No matter what others say, he remains silent.
It doesn't matter whether it's the attendants or the Empress Dowager personally asking.
He remained silent.
Don't ask about political affairs, don't care about state affairs.
Even though those people replaced all the eunuchs and maids around him, and kicked out the wet nurse who had taken care of him since childhood, Zhao Xu remained silent and pretended not to know.
Just record a personal name in your heart.
Wait until the Empress Dowager who hangs over him becomes immortal.
When he retrieved the ministers that his father trusted and relied on from all over the world one by one.
Zhao Xu struck with thunder, Shao Sheng Shao Shu!
The whole morning and evening are tied up, evil spirits are escaping far away in the world!
Then, inheriting the late emperor's ambition, he marched westward.
In the battle of Hehuang, the Qing and Tang Dynasties surrendered!
Then they laid corpses for hundreds of miles under Pingxia City, beheaded a hundred thousand people, captured Hengshan, and occupied Tiandu. The Western thieves were frightened and the Liao Kingdom looked at them with suspicion!
Since the defeat of Renmiao, the military has been weak and the country has been in a state of decline with loss of power and humiliation!
However, the year does not pass, the ambition is not fulfilled, and he dies young!
That’s right!
Zhao Xu was the seventh official in the Song Dynasty.
Later generations called it "Zhe Zong Xianyuan of the Great Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne, showed virtue and made meritorious deeds, Wen Rui Wu, Qi Sheng, Zhao Xiao and Emperor".
But the above two titles are not as famous as his third title.
The elder brother of Song Huizong!
Well, that's the international student from Five Kingdoms City.
More than nine hundred years later, Song Huizong Zhao Ji was as famous as the Ming Dynasty God of War, an overseas student from Wala, and the emperor.
He has such a famous younger brother.
Zhao Xu's fame is naturally very little.
If you are not a history major, you may not even have heard of him.
When Zhao Xu opened his eyes from the unfamiliar environment of the new century.
He regained the survival skills he had before taking charge.
Under the cover of silence, he observed and learned everything.
Those things that are unheard of and unseen, almost like heavenly books and myths.
Although it was a little difficult at first, we also made a lot of jokes.
But, he is very smart and hardworking.
Diligence can make up for weakness. Even after nearly a thousand years, writing, language, customs, society, and the environment have all undergone earth-shaking changes.
But with his diligent study and strong adaptability, he gradually integrated into modern society.
In half a year, he learned to use a mobile phone, WeChat, QQ, Weibo, and also learned to play games and watch TV.
He also became familiar with the circle around him and became familiar with his classmates and teachers.
A year later, apart from slight differences in speech and behavior, he was already a normal new century college student.
As an emperor, especially the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Xu has great advantages in the new century!
He also quickly discovered his advantages.
Art!
In the new century, if a college student in his twenties can write a calligraphy that is full of art and full of scholar-official charm, it is very impressive in itself.
If only this college student could write a particularly beautiful and antique-style Fei Bai Shu.
That is the talent among talents!
And it just so happened that it was the era when the mobile Internet began to explode rapidly.
And Zhao Xu took advantage of the east wind of this era and became the pig standing at the forefront. Relying on calligraphy, painting and good looks, he quickly became popular in the wave of short videos and accumulated millions of fans.
As a result, he was favored by a respected old professor at Teito University, who accepted him as a close disciple and obtained direct qualifications for master's and doctoral studies at Teito University.
While studying, Zhao Xu assisted his teacher in restoring many lost classics from the Song Dynasty.
At the same time, it was also because Zhao Xu showed his expertise in appreciating artworks from the Song Dynasty.
He is often borrowed by the Institute of Archaeology to help with archaeological protection and cultural relic screening.
Unsurprisingly, Zhao Xu's future should be to become a professor at Imperial University like his teacher.
Then, he will be touted as a contemporary art master, calligrapher, etc., and he will have a lot of titles.
In the field of calligraphy and painting, he may be comparable to Zhang Daqian.
But everything came to an abrupt end after Dr. Zhao Xu graduated.
what happened?
Zhao Xu tried hard to recall his memories.
The remaining fragments flashed back in my mind.
Construction site, ancient tomb...
Zhao Xu remembered.
It was the summer of 2023. While digging a tunnel somewhere in the north, an ancient tomb was dug.
After digging, people found that this was a large royal tomb from the early Jin Dynasty, and it was well preserved, with almost no trace of being visited by tomb robbers!
In the tombs, many palace artifacts of the Song Dynasty were found.
There are even funerary objects from the imperial mausoleums of the Song Dynasty.
As an expert on the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu was urgently summoned to participate in on-site excavation and cultural relic protection.
When Zhao Xu arrived, the main tomb chamber had been discovered.
Therefore, Zhao Xu followed the archaeologists and participated in the on-site excavation.
He is mainly responsible for the identification and classification of cultural relics on site.
As the excavation continued, Zhao Xu discovered something was wrong.
Because the things unearthed in the tomb are becoming more and more familiar.
They are all his favorite royal objects in his previous life!
Finally, in the coffin of the main tomb, Zhao Xu saw a jade seal that made him lose his mind!
That is the imperial seal!
Zhao Xu recognized it at a glance!
The words engraved on this jade seal and the workmanship of the jade seal.
It was the so-called "Jade Seal of the Nation" that Cai Jing found from a farmer in Chang'an.
Although anyone with a discerning eye can tell it is fake at a glance.
However, the leader of the Liao Kingdom at that time also claimed that he had the imperial seal in his hand.
Therefore, the Liao Kingdom is the orthodoxy!
As for the Song Dynasty?
It’s just a small southern dynasty that stubbornly resists the Chinese dynasty!
Sooner or later they will be wiped out by the Liao heavenly soldiers!
Who can bear this?
Therefore, the Song Dynasty also had to have its own ‘Jade Seal of the Nation’.
No matter it's cheating, robbing or cheating.
Anyway, I have to have it! It won’t work without it.
Cai Jing's sense of smell was very sensitive, and he immediately reacted and presented the jade seal of the country.
Of course, Zhao Xu knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it, and immediately announced that this was the jade seal passed down to the country.
When Qin Shihuang comes, everything must be said to be genuine.
However, you can deceive yourself, but not others, about the authenticity of something.
Therefore, Zhao Xu kept the 'Jade Seal of the Kingdom' by his side and did not show it to outsiders.
I thought that nine hundred years would be enough to destroy everything.
Unexpectedly, nine hundred years later, they met again.
Zhao Xu had already become very excited when he entered the archaeological excavation site.
Because everything he saw matched the records he saw in history books.
According to historical records, the Jin soldiers conquered Bianjing and after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, they looted the imperial mausoleum.
After passing by, the coffins were excavated, all the treasures in the mausoleum were plundered, and the remaining bones were abandoned on the same place.
Among them, Zhao Xu’s Yongtailing Mausoleum is included.
According to records, Zhao Xu's own bones were exposed in the wilderness for several years, allowing wild dogs to gnaw at him.
Until a Southern Song Dynasty official who was ordered to go on a mission to the Jin Kingdom passed by the imperial mausoleum and saw the miserable state of Zhao Xu's corpse. He howled loudly and took off his clothes to hide the bones again.
Only then did Zhao Xu rest in peace.
At the archaeological site, cold written records overlap with reality.
Zhao Xu's spirit and psychology were greatly impacted!
The royal treasures that should have been buried with the emperor proved the accuracy of historical records.
After his death, there will be no burial place!
Exposed corpses in the wilderness to be torn apart by wild dogs!
Moreover, he is not alone in this.
All our ancestors are like this!
After a while, the jade seal of Fang Chuan Guo was taken out from the main tomb chamber and brought to him for appraisal.
Zhao Xu's mood completely collapsed.
Wearing gloves, he held the jade seal that had not yet been cleaned, looked at the words carved on the jade seal, howled bitterly, and fainted on the spot.
I don't remember anything after that.
When he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he had returned to the present time of more than 900 years ago, when he was a teenager.
Is it a dream?
Zhao Xu looked at everything around him.
The quilt covering the body, the bed on which one sleeps, the screen outside the curtain, and the furnishings in the bedroom.
All this is fresh and true, without any falsehood.
He rubbed his hands, which were white, delicate and small.
He felt his breathing and gasped slightly.
It is indeed true!
It is indeed what he looked like when he was a boy.
"It seems that I am really a teenager again!"
"After dying young, the soul returned more than nine hundred years later and returned to his youth..."
"My father is still here, but his oil has run out!"
"The world is about to change!"
"Party struggle is imminent!"
"The entire Song Dynasty will be torn apart by this unprecedented party struggle!"
"What can I do?"
"What can I do?"
Zhao Xu murmured to himself, then smiled bitterly.
Nominally ten years old, but actually eight years and a few months old, he can't do anything in today's political situation.
The little emperor never has power.
It is impossible to hold power!
Besides, he is not yet the emperor, and has not even been appointed as the crown prince.
Now he is just the Prince of Yan'an County, the Commander-in-Chief, the Commander-in-Chief of the Taiping Army, and the Three Dukes of Kaifu Yitong - all empty titles!
Even his name is not Zhao Xu, but Zhao Mai!
Theoretically speaking, there is a big question mark as to whether that throne belongs to him or not!
In fact, this is also true.
In Zhao Xu's previous life, after taking charge of the government, he repeatedly caused major crimes.
Apart from revenge, the main reason is: Someone really planned to establish a separate organization!
And, they took action!
Thinking of these, Zhao Xu gradually felt sleepy.
Although he is now an adult mentally.
But physically, he is still a child.
And he is still a child who is not very healthy.
Naturally, he gets tired easily, so he falls into a deep sleep.
This chapter has been completed!
