Novel Summary
The word "绍" (shào) has two meanings: first, to continue; second, to guide.
In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Soon after, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst great anticipation, succeeding the Song Dynasty and changing the era name to Jianyan.
However, within three months, Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister, Chen Dong was killed, Yue Fei was expelled from the army, Zong Ze was abandoned in Tokyo, and the anti-Jin deployment in Hebei was completely dismantled... After so many efforts, the civil and military officials finally unified their thinking and decided to support the Emperor Zhao's glorious anti-Jin route of heading south to Huaidian and then Yangzhou.
However, as soon as he set off, after paying homage to the Taoist patriarch at the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, this Zhao official plunged headfirst into the world-famous Nine Dragon Well. When he came out, he did not recognize who his trusted confidants were!
I must resist the Jin! But where are my trusted confidants?!
This is a sincere cry from a soul nine hundred years in the future. Having reluctantly inherited the name of the Song Dynasty, he is determined to guide the court and the world onto a new path.
Therefore, it is called Shaosong.
