The third year of the Jing Kang period, the beginning of autumn.

Zhao Fujin ascended the throne and became emperor, with the reign title Yanyuan.

She didn't try to refuse the throne three times. The first thing she did when she returned to Kaifeng Prefecture was to tell the officials, who were like a makeshift team, that she was going to become emperor, and asked them to pack their things up quickly and not make it look too shabby.

Fortunately, officials from various departments had already anticipated this and had been secretly preparing for it, so there was no delay.

Everyone was extremely excited when they heard that Her Royal Highness Princess was finally going to be crowned emperor.

Those who have money contribute money, and those who don't have money contribute their labor. It is really rare to see everyone working together.

But this is understandable. This war has lasted for so long, from a defensive war to a counterattack, and then from a counterattack to an offensive war. Now it is about to become a war of annihilation against the Jin Dynasty.

People in the government and the public are in urgent need of a grand wedding to release the pressure they have been under for so long, to revel in it, to cry and laugh without caring about their image.

Let me ask you, what other large-scale event can compare with the Queen's coronation ceremony?

Zhao Fujin proposed to become emperor in early June. Originally, people thought that her makeshift team would need a long time to prepare. However, in just two months, her coronation ceremony was ready.

Not only that, even the city of Bianjing was refurbished and looked brand new, without any trace of the old scars.

On the eve of her enthronement, good news came from the front line - the Jin Kingdom had been defeated, and the Northern Army would be returning to the court soon!

This is really a double happiness!

Zhao Fujin called back all the civil and military officials overnight to hold a meeting. When the good news was announced, there was silence in the hall for a moment. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

That’s... the Jin Kingdom... the Jin Kingdom that has been oppressing the Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years!

We destroyed it just like that?

So what exactly were those annual tributes and offerings we paid in the past worth?

Is Song Dynasty rich?

But soon, when the first person reacted, cheers resounded through the sky.

After the great joy, there was a burst of crying. After all, those who were willing to follow Zhao Fujin wholeheartedly to do great things were those whose family members died in the Jingkang Incident.

At this moment, they were happy for their own survival and the revival of the Song Dynasty, but they were also heartbroken for the misfortunes of their families and the people of the world.

Only two years left, only two years left...

It’s all because Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong died late!

If only the two of them had died earlier and Princess Maude had ascended to the throne sooner, the Song Dynasty wouldn't have been in so much trouble because of those crazy father and son!

Thinking of this, the tearful officials immediately decided to go to the back mountain that night to pay homage to the cenotaphs of the two former emperors.

Oh, what they call "worship" generally means: the military generals put their hands on their hips and curse at the tombstone; the civil officials secretly write some short essays and then burn them in the brazier, so that they can enjoy the pleasure of being sprayed with spit in their faces even in the underworld.

The next morning, the sheng music started playing, and Zhao Fujin led all the officials to offer sacrifices to the land and grain and present a memorial to heaven and earth.

From today on, she officially changed from Princess Maode to Empress Yanyuan.

Everyone was caught up in the carnival, except for a soldier with scars all over his face. He had just been injured and had just left the front line. Looking at all this, he felt miserable inside.

——It should have been me who was crowned emperor!

But, if it weren’t for me, the future of the Song Dynasty might really be better... ?

This little soldier, now covered with scars, is Zhao Gou, who was thrown into the recruit camp by Zhao Fujin.

However, after going to the battlefield and experiencing life and death several times, his mentality has really changed a lot.

In particular, before going to the battlefield, the kind, gentle, beautiful and extremely considerate Zhao Fujin sent his soul to the original world line and became a member of Yue Fei's account.

That is... the world where Wanyan Gou became emperor.

In that world, Zhao Gou forgot his original identity. He only remembered that he was a soldier who had to follow General Yue Fei to defend his country.

He was timid and cowardly at first, unable to even hold a spear steadily. He went to the battlefield crying every time and survived crying.

Later, when more and more people died, he finally stopped crying.

He thought that the Jin army was not that scary after all, and they were not invincible.

Their Yue Family Army is so brave, sooner or later they will be able to cross the river and save the country!

But he was wrong. What he waited for with great hope was not the court's reward, but the emperor's suspicion and the twelve golden medals that threatened his death.

On the day Yue Fei decided to return to the south, Zhao Gou and others knelt on the ground and begged the general not to return south, otherwise he would die!

But the general who had the word "loyalty to the emperor" engraved in his bones still went back.

The general was in his prime, but he did not die on the battlefield. Instead, he died from the frame-up of powerful officials and the intrigue of the palace!

After Yue Fei's death, Yue's army was completely disbanded, and Zhao Gou and his comrades also went their separate ways. Until the day Wanyan Gou surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, they never had the chance to return to the battlefield.

At that moment, Zhao Gou was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off.

Such an emperor!

Such a Song Dynasty!

Is there any hope?!

Then, immediately afterwards, he woke from his dream and remembered his name.

On that starry night, Zhao Gou lay in his tent and couldn't help crying bitterly.

He is Zhao Gou, but when he becomes emperor, he will become Wanyan Gou!

What a terrible and frightening thing this is!

It was from that day that Zhao Gou finally began to seriously study how to become a qualified soldier.

When his neck was first cut by the cold knife, he thought that this was a relief, but he was overthinking.

Even though he will bleed, get hurt, have his skin torn and his intestines ruptured.

But he just won't die!

At the beginning, Zhao Gou was extremely terrified and even mustered up the courage to try to commit suicide... But gradually, after seeing so many deaths, he became numb.

Only pain will always accompany him, wailing along with his decayed soul.

"When will I be able to atone for my sins..."

Zhao Gou began to learn to block swords and guns for his comrades. He hoped that in this way he could escape from this endless cycle of sin as soon as possible.

It turns out that sometimes, death is really much happier than living in misery.

Unlike Zhao Gou who was still able to play a certain role, Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong completely became useless people who were despised everywhere after the Jin army was defeated.

The concubines and princesses who were trapped in the Jin Kingdom could at least go back with the Song army, but the father and son who were taken away, although lucky enough not to die on the day when Yue Fei killed the Jin army in the camp, they had no place to go.

They wanted to continue moving south and return to the territory of the Song Dynasty.

However, he had no money and he dared not reveal his identity. Finally, he had to go back to his old ways and continue to recruit patrons to save up money for his journey.

But everyone knows that if you work in this field and have many patrons, the money you save up will easily be spent on medical treatment and medicine.

No one could remember who got sick first. The two of them only blamed each other and fought for money to pay for their own medical treatment. Later on, they even fought with their patron for money.

In the end, one died of illness in the thatched cottage; the other died of starvation on the way.

This selfish father and son, neither of them can have an easy time.
