Chapter 356 Zhao Heng Raises Money 2.0
Upon hearing this, the people of Wanchao were filled with intense hatred for Emperor Qinzong of Song. What a despicable scoundrel!
Does he even deserve to be an emperor?! He actually agreed to such a request!!
Not only did they demand money, they even dared to demand women for their pleasure. What was most hateful was Zhao Huan's behavior!
How is this any different from being a traitor? It's about bullying ordinary people, having no power, so they deserve to be bullied!
……
"But the number of people was limited, so they couldn't gather enough people, and Zhao Huan realized that the agreed-upon number hadn't been reached."
"Then he conceived an even more terrifying idea: to replace all his concubines as well."
"He seemed to think that as long as the Jin people's demands were met, he could give up anything!"
"But a ruler shouldn't be like this, so utterly depraved. No one else could have done this."
"Take Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty for example. He didn't even exchange his concubines and daughters for someone else, and he even died for his country. But why would you, Zhao Huan, do the same?"
"It's absolutely outrageous! The people have been driven to the brink of despair, some are dying, some are scattering. All this just to scrape together protection money so that Zhao Huan can continue to live on. It's utterly shameful."
Lin Ke said that she truly believed that no ruler who lost his country was more outrageous and shameless than Zhao Huan!
I originally thought these two were just incompetent, but I never expected they were the real troublemakers!
The two people who were the instigators of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty are still alive and well!
Lin Ke was absolutely furious at this thought! Those two bastards!!!
As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, this passage exploded across all timelines. No one had ever imagined that an emperor could be so shameless as to sacrifice the people for his own safety!
In an instant, comments flooded the screen.
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: You worthless bastard, is this guy brainless?! You can agree with all of this? No wonder the country perished!
Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: Dad, calling them dog-brained is an insult to animals. These two are simply the lowest and most detestable kind of animals!
The optimist Su Dongpo: You... (using extremely vulgar language)...! %? ...
Big-Handed Liu Zhuzhu: This thing can actually be considered human?! What's going on with the Zhao family's bloodline?!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: ...He's his brother's bloodline... How the hell can these two be alive! Ah, they might as well just die! What kind of person would do such a thing!
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: Damn it, that grandson is no human being! He has to drag me down and make me lose face!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "Both were children of Emperor Shenzong, so why are Emperor Zhezong and Emperor Huizong so different?"
……
Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty
Zhu Di was so angry that his chest heaved. He had no idea that Emperors Huizong and Qinzong could do such a stupid and shameless thing!
Thank goodness it wasn't our grandson! If it were, he'd never show his face again! We couldn't afford him!
Then he took a few more deep breaths, sighing in his heart that it was a pity for people like Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, and Zong Ze to have encountered such a thing!
This is infuriating! The history of the Song Dynasty is full of things that make us angry!
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke sighed, "As an emperor, even if you run away or die in battle, it's still better than that bastard Emperor Qinzong."
"They only force the people to their deaths. The once prosperous Bianjing city is now extremely desolate. Nine out of ten houses are empty, and many people have been driven to the brink of despair, and then they end their own lives with a rope!"
"However, the matter was not over yet. At this point, Zhao Huan ordered the officials of the Censorate to copy some kind of list."
"He worried that since he hadn't raised enough money yet, what if his uncle got angry? So he made a list of all the officials from the prime minister down, circling those who hadn't given money to his uncle, and ordering that anyone found to have done so be immediately put in shackles and have their property confiscated."
"Very good, the Jurchens don't need to attack anymore. Emperor Qinzong of Song could easily outmaneuver and destroy Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty!"
"In an instant, the already desolate city of Bianjing was filled with a group of officials wearing shackles."
"Here's a joke: Emperor Chongzhen couldn't scrape together a single penny no matter how hard he tried. He had to beg for money. Look at Emperor Qinzong, that Zhao Huan was truly heartless!"
Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty: ...
"But even now, Zhao Huan still shows no remorse. He even made a declaration that he would avenge the Jin Dynasty. It seems that he really considers the Jin Dynasty as his own uncle."
"Oh no, he wasn't even this attentive to his father, Zhao Ji. He must be his biological father!"
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: ...This thing is even worse than Emperor Huizong of Song, he's insane!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: I don't understand, are they so afraid of the Jurchens?! It's not like we don't have brave generals to fight!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "The biggest problem in the Song Dynasty was their emperor! It was so difficult to choose a capable person later on!"
A Han Dynasty scholar-official: ...No wonder people say the Song Dynasty lacked backbone!
Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty: Shameless!!!
……
"However, the people and money that Emperor Qinzong of Song sent to his Jin father were still not enough to satisfy the Jin people's demands."
"They demanded that Emperor Qinzong must enter the Jin camp again, or they would plunder Kaifeng!"
"To be honest, Emperor Qinzong of Song had already amassed almost all the wealth, and many people had committed suicide. Under such circumstances, what else could they possibly rob?"
"At this point, Emperor Huizong even showed up to make his presence known, suggesting, 'Why don't we go?'"
"But Zhang Shuye and Sun Fu still felt that they had already been to the Jin camp once, and going again would only be humiliating, so they decided to hold off on going!"
"However, Prime Minister He Li and others felt that they could go to the Jin camp again, since they hadn't lost any limbs last time, so they might as well give it a try!"
"In the end, Emperor Qinzong still went to the Jin camp, but before leaving, he left behind the ten-year-old crown prince he had appointed, entrusting him to the care of Sun Fu and others."
"Even when he left, he declared to the people, 'I did this for the sake of all living beings!' Bah..."
"What he didn't know was that this was a huge trap. After he arrived, Zongwang didn't see him. This time, they even arranged a small house for him, as if they were preparing for him to stay permanently!"
A spoiled young man from the Song Dynasty: I was just captured by such a pretty girl?! He actually believed the Jin people's lies!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: Serves him right! Who told him to be so useless!
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: ...Speechless...
A scholar-official from the Han Dynasty: I knew he would definitely be arrested!
A farming expert in the Ming Dynasty: But for Emperors Huizong and Qinzong, was it just about finding another place to continue their miserable existence?
A Sui Dynasty official: Don't be so sure! Anyway, there wasn't any damage! And no one was injured!!!
