Sky Curtain: The Overlord Charges into Battle, Shocking Emperors of All Dynasties

The boy in the picture exudes a sharp and unyielding aura, like a newly forged sword, its edge fully revealed, unyielding and unbreakable.

The people in front of the sky finally understood.

This is clearly the emperor personally charging into battle to rescue his besieged ministers.

The young emperor on the sky is Zhao Jiu.

This, this is really!!!

Countless generals, upon seeing this, had their eyes redden; an indescribable surge of fervor welled up in their hearts.

He gazed intently at the young emperor standing proudly against the sky.

I wish I could go and personally lead his horse and hold his stirrups.

They're all generals who lead troops into battle, so why should you be able to get the emperor to personally come to your rescue?

What gives you the right?

You deserve to die!!!

During the Zhenguan period,

Zhao Jiu's figure reminded these ministers of the days when they fought alongside Li Shimin.

At that time, Li Shimin was also full of vigor and was a true young hero.

"Is this the Zhao Jiu mentioned on the screen?"

"This spirited demeanor truly bears some resemblance to mine!"

Li Shimin's eyes were filled with reminiscence, and his still youthful face showed a feigned wistful satisfaction.

It seems he was lamenting that he was getting old.

"Is it installed?"

Li Yuan, having emerged from the deep palace, intended to get some fresh air and observe the current state of the court.

Unexpectedly, I saw Li Shimin in this state.

So what if you can fight a little? What's with the attitude?!

Seeing Li Yuan's depressed expression, Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan was remembering the time when he rushed to rescue him.

Although at that time he was the King of Qin and his father was the Emperor.

But now that he's the emperor, how can it not be considered the emperor rescuing his subjects?

After all, Tianmu once said that his father was appointed Emperor Emeritus by the Emperor himself!

During the Yongle period,

Zhu Di was extremely proud at this moment, hands on his hips, as if the words in the sky were spoken to him.

In Zhu Di's understanding, since Zhao Jiu was a fabrication by later generations,

That part must be based on him.

During his rebellion, one of his soldiers was surrounded.

Even though he had already charged out, he rushed back into the battle to rescue the soldier.

"Hahaha, future generations must have known my deeds and attributed them to Zhao Jiu!"

Zhu Di said with great satisfaction,

After all, given his status as a king, he was the only one to have rescued soldiers.

And someone like Zhao Jiu is unprecedented in history.

...

"What merit or ability does this general possess to allow the Emperor to personally put himself in danger?!"

"How can he possibly have the face to live in this world?"

Han Shizhong was somewhat resentful, and his eyes couldn't hide the envy in them.

The Song general on the sky was incredibly incompetent.

If it were him, he certainly wouldn't let the Emperor personally risk his life the moment he saw the imperial banner.

They're really going to give their lives to Zhao Jiuguan!

The ancient people standing before the celestial canopy sighed, "To be saved by the emperor like this even once, it would be worth it for this lifetime."

While expressing their feelings, many also realized just how critical the situation was at the time.

Otherwise, why would the emperor personally risk his life in battle?

Is there really no one usable in our own team?

This is completely irrational, and not the kind of decision an emperor should make, all for the sake of a subject.

Even somewhat reckless,

But at that time, Zhao Jiu's recklessness was exactly what was needed.

Zhao Jiu needs to break through the rusty hearts of the Song Dynasty officials and give the people a much-needed boost.

To do something knowing it's impossible is the most romantic thing in the world.

[Regarding Zhao Jiu, this isn't actually the most inspiring line.]

Faced with the Jin army's heavy blockade, Zhao Jiu, the only surviving prince of the Song Dynasty, along with other Song officials, fled.

But when will the days of fleeing end? When will the days of fearing the Golden Men, who are like tigers and wolves, finally end?

The Jurchens searched high and low, determined to capture Zhao Jiu and extinguish the last embers of the Song Dynasty.

The court officials, fearing the Jurchens as fierce as wolves and tigers, believed that they must cross the river and flee to Yangzhou, to the south of the Yangtze River, or even to the sea to escape to the ends of the earth, as long as they could get away from the Jurchens.

They fled south all the way to Bagong Mountain in Huainan, where they stopped to rest briefly. Once they crossed the Huai River, the road would be smooth and lead directly to Jiangnan.

"madness!!!"

Ying Zheng angrily shouted and cursed, "These ministers really have no guts at all!"

He simply refused to believe that the Jurchens could truly annihilate the entire Song army.

Throughout the entire Song Dynasty, spanning over a century, did it end up without even a single capable army?

Ying Zheng finally understood that the repeated defeats in the war against the Jurchens had completely shattered the morale of these ministers.

Even ordinary civilians and soldiers probably didn't have much courage.

"Winning just once, or even a draw, would be good..."

The most urgent task, of course, is to boost morale and make the people of the north and the various Song armies understand that...

The Jin army was not invincible, and the Song Dynasty did not abandon them.

If you really go to Jiangnan, getting there is easy, but coming back is difficult!

At this point, Zhao Jiu stopped running. He had run enough and wanted to stay and set up defenses at Bagong Mountain to block the Jin army.

Despite the ministers' attempts to dissuade him, Zhao Jiu resolutely declared:

The Song dynasty may perish, but the world must not perish.

However, if there are heroes who can restore our land and save the people, then we should take the land and use it for ourselves.

[Lord of all people]

This statement has stirred up a massive wave across different times and spaces, completely shattering the psychological understanding of the ancients.

Zhao Jiu's words completely overturned their understanding.

Would an emperor really say such a thing?

This is tantamount to giving away the Imperial Seal of the State, and to everyone at that.

As long as this person loves the people and can restore the country.

Even the ancients who saw this quote had to admit that they were somewhat moved and their eyes instantly welled up with tears upon hearing it.

This is the first time that someone, an emperor, has placed the safety of the people above the safety of his own dynasty.

Only the one mentioned earlier, the one who shouted "Long live the people!", truly cared about the people.

Now there's Zhao Jiu, so it can be said that they are from the same lineage!

In the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty,

Zhu Youjian was tormented by Zhao Jiu's resolute words.

He knew that there was no such person as Zhao Jiu in history, but the situation during the Southern Song Dynasty was similar to that of the present.

However, by the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, Zhu Youjian seemed to feel that it was too late for anything.

In the north, there were the Jurchens, and internal uprisings were ongoing, with the rebel leader Li Zicheng constantly approaching the capital.

Zhu Youjian forced a weak smile, revealing a melancholy expression.

Is the Ming Dynasty really doomed? Is it really going to end like in history, with the Jurchens gaining control of the Central Plains?

Wouldn't that make the Ming Dynasty a sinner against Chinese civilization, and Zhu Youjian a sinner in history?

No, this can't be done!

Zhu Youjian's eyes were filled with determination and unwavering resolve, as if he were about to make a decision that would go against the wishes of his ancestors.

"Issue my final decree!!"

"The Ming Dynasty may perish, but the world must not perish!"

"But whoever is a hero who can destroy the Jurchens, restore our lands, and save the people can be the ruler of the world!"
