Live History Broadcast: Opening Ceremony Spoilers - Our Ancestor Was Enraged

Chapter 362 Pseudo-Regime

The live broadcast continues.

Lin Ke continued, "At the end of a dynasty, what's most prevalent are all sorts of pseudo-regimes. Although the Northern Song Dynasty wasn't completely finished, it didn't stop the Jurchens from making moves!"

"So, these Jurchens put their clever ideas to use and tried to establish a regime that was close to the Jurchens, and then exploit the Song people to make money!"

"To be honest, aren't these people in the Song court already pro-Jin enough?"

"Didn't you see they all betrayed their own people, scrambling to hand over Song Dynasty artifacts to the Jurchens! In the end, the Jurchens didn't even consider them when they wanted to do this. Tell me, what were you after?!"

Song court officials: Hey! Someone's spreading rumors here!!!

"So, who should we use as a puppet? That's the problem. First of all, the Zhao family's repeated betrayals and breaches of alliance make them untrustworthy, so we're out of the running!"

"Among the people the Jurchens had met, if you were to choose the one who was most afraid of the Jurchens and was particularly timid and cowardly, many people would think it would be someone like Zhao Huan."

"But that's not actually the case. He wasn't exactly obsequious, nor was he extremely afraid of the Jurchens."

"So, the chosen child, ptooey... idiot, is Zhang Bangchang, who previously followed Zhao Gou into the Jin camp!"

Jin man: Bangchang, we're acquainted, we can get along!

"Zhang Bangchang was terrified before even entering the Jin camp; he was extremely afraid of the Jin people. Furthermore, his cowardly nature was a major advantage for the Jin!"

"Moreover, I don't know what this guy was thinking, he even talked to the Jin people, especially Zongwang, who talked to him several times and was considered a familiar Song person."

"For the Jurchens, puppets like this are easy to control. They can just make as much money as they want!"

Everyone in the Song Dynasty: Bah...you son of a bitch...! ? %...

……

While Lin Ke was taking a sip of water, chaos had already broken out in another time and space.

They never expected that the Song court was still in power, and that they would even set up a puppet regime!

During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song

At this moment, the people in the court were whispering among themselves. They were already troubled by His Majesty's upcoming Fengshan ceremony, and then they heard this!

Zhao Heng: Turns out there are people even worse than him!!! Now I can go to Mount Tai!

The courtiers: ...There's really no need for that...

At this moment, Kou Zhun stepped forward and spoke precisely: "Your Majesty, the reason why the Northern Song Dynasty is in this state is still due to its military weakness."

"We are only a little over a hundred years removed from the Jingkang Incident! If we had prepared for a prosperous and powerful nation at that time, we would never have suffered such a defeat!"

Zhao Heng was well aware of this as well, but this meant he would have a lot of messes to clean up!

Alas, his Fengshan ceremony is no longer on the agenda!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Kou Zhun, who was still passionately rapping below.

Fine, let this ancestor do some good for future generations!

Perhaps a thousand years from now, when people mention him, they won't just laugh at him for bribing court officials to go to Mount Tai; they might even garner some praise!

The courtiers' inner thoughts: Your Majesty, is that all you can think of?

......

The Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen rolled his eyes. The Song court shouldn't blame the Jurchens for establishing a puppet regime. If they weren't so incompetent and unable to defeat these people, this wouldn't have happened.

However, since his ancestors also had some connection with the Jurchens, from their perspective, he found it incredibly satisfying—they were winning all the time, and the opposing team was practically throwing points away!

Sigh, it reminds me of the late Qing Dynasty, when they were also giving away money and land—it was utterly shameful!

How is this any different from the Song Dynasty? When my thirteenth brother returns, I will definitely have a good discussion with him about the future of our Great Qing!

......

At the same time, Lin Ke's voice continued to come through.

People from all times and spaces heard her say at this moment: "Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang and others planned to depose Emperors Huizong and Qinzong and install Zhang Bangchang, whom they favored, as emperor."

For a moment, almost everyone had the same question: What? The Northern Song Dynasty had already fallen at this point?

Then, Lin Ke continued, "The Jin people first informed Emperor Taizong of Jin of this decision, and after obtaining the approval of the top leader, they then notified the Song court."

Golden Man: Remember, this is a notification, not a question for you!!!

"When the Song people heard this shocking news, they were all dumbfounded. This...this is going to depose their emperor???"

"Although, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan weren't exactly good to the people, nor were they particularly capable emperors."

"But I always feel that the people treat them with an attitude of 'they may mistreat me a thousand times, but I will still treat them like my first love.'"

"Therefore, the people of Kaifeng at the time did not agree to abolish the two members of the Zhao family, since they were citizens of the Song Dynasty and considered the Zhao family the legitimate successors."

"Moreover, the previous emperors did not exploit the people, and the relationship between them was quite good! Otherwise, the Song Dynasty's economy would not have been so prosperous!"

"As for the officials, they generally won't recognize the establishment of a regime, otherwise, would they be considered subjects of the Zhao family or the Zhang family?"

"However, in the Central Plains dynasties, the legitimacy of succession is still quite important; otherwise, why would anyone be criticized for illegitimate accession?!"

"Especially since they chose Zhang Bangchang as emperor, the common people might not understand the implications, but don't those officials understand???"

"So the officials refused to agree to this part as well. At this time, the young Qin Hui was still a passionate young man."

"Upon hearing this news, they immediately took the lead in expressing their opposition, and even wrote a joint letter to the Jurchens, stating that if they were to change masters, they should change to someone surnamed Zhao!!!"

Emperors Huizong and Qinzong: Help! We're still usable!!

After Lin Ke finished speaking, it seemed that all the people in the court saw was the loyalty of the Song court's subjects to the Zhao family.

If either Emperor Huizong or Emperor Qinzong had dared to fight and hadn't caused so much trouble, the Song court wouldn't be in this state.

Wan Chaozhong's people: Sigh... It's not worth it!
