Siheyuan: The more excited you are, the more excited I am

"Who are you and what do you want to discuss with me?"

When Zhao Heng turned around and saw Jiang Feng, he couldn't help but frowned, then asked in a deep voice.

After all, he was the king of a country and still had some courage. After the initial panic, he finally calmed down.

After all, if Lin Fan was really an assassin, he would have been stabbed dozens of times.

"My name is Jiang Feng. I just killed a few people from the Imperial City Bureau. Although killing a few ants does not require any explanation, I still have friends who need to live in Tokyo. So in order to avoid trouble, I invited you here."

"That's it? It's not important. What's important is how you invited me here."

Zhao Heng didn't expect that just because a few people from the Imperial City Bureau died, Lin Fan would bring him, the emperor, from the Imperial Study here. Is this all he has?

And although Lin Fan said please, did I agree? If I didn't agree, then I would be arrested!

However, in order to avoid angering Lin Fan, Zhao Heng did not dwell on whether to invite or arrest him. He just wanted to know how Lin Fan brought him here.

"That's how I invited you!"

As Lin Fan spoke, he had an idea and took Zhao Heng back to the imperial study. Before he could be shocked, he brought him back to the mansion.

"Fairy? Monster?"

Zhao Heng forced himself to suppress his inner shock, but his voice still trembled a little when he asked the question.

"I am the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude just now. I will obey your orders."

Upon hearing that Lin Fan was a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, Zhao Heng immediately bowed to him, even though he didn't know what kind of immortal he was.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that two of my friends are planning to live in Tokyo, and I don't want their peaceful life to be disrupted. You are the most senior in the Song Dynasty, so I invited you to come and discuss it."

Seeing Zhao Heng being so humble, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile, then pointed at Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang and explained.

"The Immortal's friends are Zhao Heng's friends. No, they are Zhao Heng's distinguished guests. Since they have chosen to stay in Tokyo, Zhao Heng assures the Immortal that no one will disturb their peaceful lives."

Zhao Heng followed Lin Fan's finger and looked at Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang, memorizing their appearances deeply in his mind, and then made a serious promise.

"Thank you very much. They are planning to open a restaurant business. They don't need any special treatment. As long as no one makes trouble, it will be fine. As for whether the business is good or not, it depends on how they run it."

"Don't worry, Immortal Master. Zhao Heng understands."

"Just ask me anything you want to ask. If you hesitate any more, I'll send you back."

After Zhao Heng nodded in agreement, a hesitant look appeared on his face, as if he wanted to say something. Seeing this, Lin Fan told him to speak his mind.

"Excuse me, Immortal, I want to offer sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai. Is it feasible?"

Although Zhao Heng still had some concerns after hearing this, he still asked in a low voice.

"You want to be enthroned on Mount Tai? First ask yourself what achievements you have made. Signed the Treaty of Shanyuan? That is a shame! You didn't feel ashamed when you signed it, but you are ashamed of it afterwards. You want to use the ceremony of enthroning on Mount Tai to elevate your status, but you don't even think about whether you are qualified for it."

"Are you trying to listen to the slander of treacherous officials and create a so-called auspicious heavenly book, and then arrange for the people to submit a petition, so as to take the opportunity to offer sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai? Do you know that since you, no emperor has offered sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai, because they are ashamed to be associated with you?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, and then he mocked Zhao Heng.

In fact, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng did not make any major mistakes during his reign. Even when the Liao army invaded the Northern Song Dynasty on a large scale, he personally led the army at the strong suggestion of Kou Zhun and won a rare victory for the Northern Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that after winning the battle, his fear of the Liao Kingdom was not alleviated, so he signed the humiliating Treaty of Tanyuan. However, it did achieve a hundred years of peace between Song and Liao, and it is difficult to judge his merits and demerits.

Apart from this, he had no other political achievements. He was a mediocre monarch. He was neither a tyrant nor a wise ruler. However, he insisted on being enthroned on Mount Tai, which made him be ridiculed by later generations and made him infamous.

"The Immortal Master actually knew everything. Then Zhao Heng will not defend himself. I really wanted to use the Auspicious Book of Heaven as an excuse to perform the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai, just because I like to show off and want to whitewash the peace. I thought that even if I can't be famous for thousands of years, I can still add a rich and colorful chapter in the history books. I didn't expect that I would be despised by future kings. It's really a joke!"

"But Zhao Heng has to say a few words for himself about the Alliance of Shanyuan. The Liao people are fierce. It is useless to defeat them once. It does not hurt the foundation of Liao! It won't be long. When the Liao people have rested and recuperated, they will invade Song Dynasty again. By then, Song Dynasty may not be able to defeat them. Once Song Dynasty is defeated, countless people will be displaced and corpses will be everywhere. As the emperor of Song Dynasty, I must be responsible for the people of Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Heng looked a little bitter when he heard this. As an immortal, it was normal for Lin Fan to be able to predict the future, and he did not suspect that Lin Fan was lying.

However, he did not expect that although he succeeded in the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, he would not be famous for generations to come, but would instead be infamous for generations to come. It was truly his own fault.

However, he did not regret signing the Treaty of Shanyuan. The Song Dynasty was weak and was no match for the Liao Kingdom. But this was not caused by him alone. It was the root of the disaster that was planted since Song Taizu gave up military power over a toast.

Since Emperor Taizu of Song, the Song Dynasty has emphasized civil affairs over military affairs, which has led to the low combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army. It was already a fluke for him to win a battle. If he continued to fight, he didn't think the Song Dynasty could still win.

Although it is indeed embarrassing to pay compensation to the other party after winning the fight, there is no other solution.

"Just because you can't win, then you don't fight? Why don't you just give the whole country to the Liao Kingdom? The soldiers fought bravely on the front line, fought bloody battles, and finally won the battle. In the end, you emperors and ministers want to compensate the enemy. Do you know how much of a blow to the morale of the army? If you lose, you have to pay compensation. If you win, you also have to pay compensation. Then, what's the point of winning or losing for the soldiers?"

"The soldiers were not afraid of the mountains of blood and the sea of ​​​​death, but you rulers who are obsessed with money and luxury are afraid. You even said that signing the Tanyuan Alliance was for the sake of the people. Do you have any shame?"

Seeing that Zhao Heng was still trying to argue, Lin Fan immediately asked back with a sneer on his face.

He felt that the Song Dynasty was probably the most shameful dynasty in China's 5,000 years of history, simply because the emperors of the Song Dynasty were more incompetent than each other.

Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng was actually okay. Although he signed the humiliating Treaty of Shanyuan and shamelessly performed the Fengshan Ceremony on Mount Tai, he could only be considered cowardly and vain, not incompetent.
