In the city of Songzhou, in the palace, a general was talking to the young Emperor Chai Zongxun of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but Chai Zongxun was timid.

This general is majestic, thick and powerful. Chai Zongxun, who is about ten years old, dares not say much in front of him.

Another general came in and said to the general who was talking to Chai Zongxun: "Lord, news came from the front that the Xia army and the Eight Banners army have already formed a formation in the area of ​​Zhongmu Town, and the winner is about to be decided."

"I understand." The general said to Chai Zongxun again, "Your Majesty also asks you to wait for good news. Finally, you will obtain the Central Plains for Your Majesty to repay the kindness of Shizong's promotion to me."

The general stood up and left with several generals.

Although Chai Zongxun was still a child, he had already vaguely heard about his own destiny.

However, although he was the emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he could not control his own destiny and could only accept it.

Chai Zongxun couldn't help but shed tears: "Father, if you were here, how could he dare to treat the child like this..."

The general of the Later Zhou Dynasty led his generals to the streets of Songzhou City and walked straight to the barracks.

There has been a legend in the city of Songzhou City that on the day of his army, he should establish the inspector as the emperor.

The general of the Later Zhou Dynasty had no expression on his face, as if he had not heard any rumors.

In the camp in Songzhou City, the 150,000 Later Zhou army was ready to go, and all the military generals looked at the arrival of the main general.

"The Xia army and the Eight Banners Army are in a ferocious battle. This is the time to seize Bianjing. This expedition is only allowed to succeed, not fail!"

"Here!"

The 150,000 Later Zhou army responded in unison, and the momentum was shaken.

A military general of the Later Zhou Dynasty in his twenties suddenly stepped out of the line and shouted: "Now the emperor is young and weak and cannot rule. Now our territory is all the Lord of the Palace Front Dushi personally led his troops to capture it. Who knows?! When fighting with the princes, only Lord of the Palace Front Dushi can do it! It is better to support Lord of the Palace Front Dushi as the Emperor of the Palace Front, and then send troops to seize Bianjing!"

Someone took the lead, and then the military generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty responded: "The emperor is dark and weak, and there are many princes. Only the emperor in front of the palace can win the world!"

"I dreamed yesterday that I dreamed that the inspector in front of the palace is put on a yellow robe, the red light rises like fire, and the streets and alleys are full of strange fragrance. This is God's will!"

"Please ask the inspector in front of the palace to ascend the throne!"

A group of military generals from the Later Zhou Dynasty started to cheer, and the emotions of their soldiers quickly became aroused to support the chief general.

The military general of Hou Zhou, who was in his early twenties, directly put the yellow robe prepared in advance on the general of Hou Zhou and took the initiative to bow down: "Long live! Long live!"

The 150,000 soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty followed suit and bowed to the courtyard, shouting long live the mountain, and roaming the sea: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The General of Hou Zhou stood in front of 150,000 soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, enjoying the sense of accomplishment of being supported by the 150,000 army and being ranked supreme.

Becoming an emperor and a herder of the Heavenly Heaven is intoxicating.

No wonder so many generals and princes went one after another to seize the throne.

Yuan Shu of the Three Kingdoms also had to live with the emperor's addiction before he died.

The throne is the dream of countless men.

But he knew that it was not the time to intoxicate.

There are many powerful princes around Songzhou. He cannot be called emperor, otherwise he will be easily attacked by groups.

Moreover, there is another person who disturbs him who may survive in this world, namely Zhou Shizong - Chai Rong.

He pretended to be embarrassed: "You are greedy for wealth and honor, so you make me the emperor. But I cannot be called emperor yet, I can only be called king. If you can obey my orders, I will promise you. But if not, I cannot be the emperor."

Under the arrangement of the leading general, the 150,000 troops shouted in unison: "Listen to the will!"

An unprecedented mutiny occurred in the Later Zhou forces in Songzhou. The 150,000 troops entered the city, forcing the Later Zhou emperor Chai Zongxun to abdicate!

This mutiny that everyone expected in advance still happened, and although the time of occurrence had been delayed due to various reasons.

The rebels occupied the palace, and the emperor Chai Zongxun, who was just talking to the generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty, was held in his arms by Empress Dowager Fu.

The young and beautiful Empress Dowager Fu saw the general of Hou Zhou leading troops into the palace. Although she had expected this mutiny, Empress Dowager Fu was still a little hysterical and scolded her: "Zhao Kuangyin, you have forgotten who promoted you to this position back then!"

Zhao Kuangyin, the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, looked indifferent: "It is precisely because I know that I delayed it for three years before I launched a mutiny."

Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor who ended the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but this was because the late Zhou emperor Chai Rong died young, so Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao mutiny and established the Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, if Chai Rong did not die young, then it might not be Zhao Kuangyin, but Chai Rong who ended the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Chai Rong's ability is very strong, very strong.

Zhao Kuangyin was also a general promoted by Chai Rong. Originally, Zhao Kuangyin was Chai Rong's subordinate.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they valued martial arts and neglected civilians, and mutiny of military generals was as frequent as usual.

The emperor takes turns to come to my house next year.

After Chai Rong's death, the king's country was suspicious, and Zhao Kuangyin had the opportunity to rebel in the Chenqiao mutiny and put on the yellow robe.

It was after Chai Rong's death that Zhao Kuangyin traveled to the Songzhou area with Empress Dowager Fu, Chai Zongxun and a group of civil and military ministers from the Later Zhou Dynasty.

In order to win over civil officials and military generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin endured for three more years, captured Songzhou and other territories, completely replaced his confidant to control military power. Only then did Zhao Kuangyin launch a mutiny.

Of course, there is another main reason why Zhao Kuangyin delayed the Chenqiao mutiny - Chai Rong may not be dead in this world!

The time when Chai Rong traveled through time may not be the same as Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin's feelings for Chai Rong were quite complicated.

On the one hand, Chai Rong was kind to Zhao Kuangyin.

On the other hand, after Chai Rong's death, Zhao Kuangyin immediately began to usurp the throne, which was no different from the behavior of Cao Cao, Sima Yi and others. Instead, he became more decisive - the rebellion of military generals in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms could not be easier.

The so-called Chenqiao Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin was forced to wear a yellow robe. Zhao Kuangyin himself could not have known it, and even Zhao Kuangyin planned it.

If Zhou Shizong Chai Rong had not died in this world, Zhao Kuangyin would not dare to fight with his former lord bus.

This is why Zhao Kuangyin was reluctant to launch a mutiny after coming to this world, and he was constantly inquiring about Chai Rong's whereabouts.

Until now, Zhao Kuangyin still cannot find out Chai Rong's whereabouts.

Perhaps Chai Rong was defeated and killed in any battle.

Or maybe Chai Rong came over when he was a child and was killed by a bandit.

In short, after Zhao Kuangyin was sure that he could not find Chai Rong, he personally led his troops to capture many cities. Finally, he decided to launch a mutiny and depose Chai Zongxun and become king with justification.

As for the proclaimed emperor, it would not be too late to proclaim himself emperor after occupying the entire Central Plains.

Zhao Kuangyin was not the first among the emperors. He was still a little different from Qin Emperor, Han Wu, and Tang Emperor, but his military achievements were not as good as Genghis Khan.

However, Zhao Kuangyin was also very strong among the emperors.

If Zhao Kuangyin had not had this kind of tolerance, he would not have become one of the great princes of the Central Plains.

Queen Mother Fu continued to scold: "Bah, Zhao Kuangyin, what's your ability to bully an orphan and widowed mother? If my husband is still alive, he will never let you go!"

"Come here, please place the two of them forever. If they lose half a hair, you will be a death sentence!"

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and asked Empress Dowager Fu and Chai Zongxun to take her under house arrest.

Even if Chai Rong was dead, Zhao Kuangyin would not kill the Chai family.

He, Zhao Kuangyin, has his own way of dealing with the world.

What's more, Chai Rong might still be in this world and still alive.

Leave the Queen Mother Fu and Chai Zongxun, and there is still room for maneuver in the future.

Zhao Kuangyin walked up the stone steps step by step, sat on the dragon throne, and looked at the empty hall.

As long as he conquers the whole world, he will rule the world. All the world is the king's land, and the shores of the land are the king's ministers!

"Chai Rong, Chai Rong, are you dead or alive?"

Zhao Kuangyin closed his eyes and thought of his past lord Chai Rong, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If he faces Chai Rong in the future, Zhao Kuangyin will be embarrassed to see him.

"Lord, it's time to be king and then lead troops to capture Bianzhou."

The third brother Zhao Guangyi brought the civil and military ministers to congratulate Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the dragon throne where Zhao Kuangyin was sitting, and a hint of fanaticism appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Kuangyin was twelve years older than Zhao Guangyi. After Zhao Kuangyin's death, it was not necessarily Zhao Kuangyin's son who ascended the throne, but it was possible that his younger brother Zhao Guangyi would succeed him, just like Sun Ce and Sun Quan's story.

Zhao Kuangyin captured Zhao Guangyi's fanaticism about the throne and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Kuangyin heard the story of "Candle Light and Axe Shadow" in this world.

At midnight in October 976 AD, Zhao Kuangyin summoned his brother Zhao Guangyi to drink, stayed in the palace together, and left the left and right, and only Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi were left in the palace.

During the meal, someone saw that under the candlelight, Zhao Guangyi left the table at times, and seemed to be avoiding it. He also heard Taizu lead a pillar to poke the ground.

The next morning, Zhao Kuangyin was found dead in the Long Live Palace.

Zhao Guangyi, the king of the Later Jin Dynasty, succeeded to the throne and was known in history as Taizong.

Therefore, there are few records, and no one knows the truth about the "candlelight and axe shadow".

But some people speculate that Zhao Guangyi couldn't wait to ascend to the throne, so he killed Zhao Kuangyin.

Later, Zhao Kuangyin's son died inexplicably, and all the people who threatened Zhao Guangyi's throne were gone.

These things together may not be coincidental.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but doubt his younger brother's loyalty to him.

Moreover, Zhao Guangyi's ability to use troops is really average.

In the Battle of Gaoliang River, the Song and Liao Kingdoms, Zhao Guangyi was hit by two arrows. Under Hu Yanzan's protection, he rode 70 kilometers overnight in a donkey cart and fled to Zhuozhou. The Song army was defeated.

Zhao Guangyi is also known as the "Grand Sorghum River Car God", and his driving skills are a masterpiece of the Northern Song Dynasty.

From then on, there was a Song Dynasty that lost Yan Yun.

"His Majesty?"

When Zhao Kuangyin fell into deep thought, Zhao Guangyi and a group of military generals from the Later Zhou Dynasty reminded Zhao Kuangyin.

"From now on, I ascend the throne to the King of Song and use Songzhou as the capital. You and others will follow me to send troops to capture Bianjing and sweep across the Central Plains!"
