He opened his eyes to the first year of the Jingkang era, becoming Emperor Qinzong of Song, while the Jin army had already besieged Bianliang.
Sitting on the dragon throne is the retired emperor, an artistic master who cares little for state affairs and only loves romance;
Kneeling before His Highness were a group of prime ministers sharpening their knives, ready to sell out the country for personal gain and wealth;
Outside the city, there were 100,000 Jin cavalrymen who burned, killed, looted, and treated killing as a game.
And I, Zhao Huan, became the unfortunate emperor in history who was about to be packed up and sent to the Five Kingdoms City, where I would suffer humiliation and eventually die far from home.
History records say I was weak, and later generations curse me for being incompetent.
They all say that the humiliation of Jingkang is an indelible mark on our Zhao imperial family.
But this time, history needs to be rewritten!
I do not want to be a useless person who is ridiculed by the world!
My empress and princess do not wish to become playthings to be humiliated at will!
My millions of subjects do not want to become livestock under the swords of foreign invaders!
Since there is nowhere left to retreat, then there is no need to retreat any further!
Kill the treacherous officials, appoint the loyal and virtuous, forge an iron army, lift the sea ban, I will use the blood of the enemy to dye the dragon flag of the Great Song Dynasty red!
Li Gang, Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei... I will make up for your regrets in this life!
I will not only reclaim my land, but also personally lead an expedition to strike at the heart of the enemy!
I want to bind that so-called Jin emperor, Wanyan Wugumai, and bring him to the gates of Bianliang, so that he and his ministers can present the grandest "sheep-leading ceremony" for my Great Song!
The shame of the Jingkang Incident remains unavenged.
When will the hatred of the subjects be extinguished?
Starting with me, let's fight to the death, regardless of the cost!
