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

Ah, is that me? My dream has come true!

Zhao Gou found it hard to believe, but the corners of his mouth still involuntarily turned up in a smile.

He had considered this possibility before.

After all, the Song Dynasty had a fine tradition that most people would change their names after ascending the throne.

Therefore, it was only natural for him to change his name to Zhao Jiu after the fall of his country and the destruction of his family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou straightened his back slightly, forcefully suppressing the smile on his lips and putting on a dignified appearance.

He'll be Emperor Zhongzu of Song in the future, so I have to hold it in and not laugh!

Thinking of his temple name, Zhao Gou couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

Why does the screen still say he is Emperor Shizu of Song?

Doesn't this prove that he is not his father's son?

His temple name should be Zhongzu!

Unless Zhao Jiu isn't him!

Who else could it be but him?

The ministers during Emperor Huizong's reign cursed inwardly as they watched Cai Jing kneeling and paying homage to Zhao Gou.

That old geezer beat me to it!

In their understanding, Zhao Jiu was Zhao Gou.

Yaoshan's archery skills were so superb that he beheaded Wanyan Loushi.

Among Emperor Huizong's sons, only Zhao Gou was skilled in riding and archery, possessed outstanding courage and a leisurely demeanor.

There was no one else but him!

The ministers gazed eagerly at Zhao Gou, and in their eyes, he exuded a faint yet powerful aura of royalty, appearing exceptionally dignified.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ji, sitting on the dragon throne, felt utterly helpless.

These ministers viewed Zhao Gou as they would the current emperor, but such a gaze had previously been directed at him.

Emperor Huizong could only watch helplessly as these loyal ministers transferred to the capital, unable to change anything.

During the Zhenguan period,

Li Shimin clapped his hands in praise.

"What a fine Zhao Jiu! His archery skills are so superb!!"

Li Shimin was somewhat excited by the sight of Zhao Jiu and wished he could drink and chat with him and compare his archery skills!

"Indeed, to be able to kill a Jin general in a duel, Zhao Jiu's archery skills are not much worse than His Majesty's!"

Yuchi Gong's rough voice revealed his admiration for Zhao Jiu's archery skills, and he kept gesturing with his hands, seemingly itching to try it himself.

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor, he has rarely followed His Majesty into battle wielding a spear.

Back then, His Majesty wielded a bow, while he himself carried a spear. The two of them weaved through the enemy ranks as if they were nothing, invincible under heaven!

It was so exhilarating and unrestrained, something to look back on!

Li Shimin frowned upon hearing Yuchi Gong's words, feeling somewhat uncomfortable and dissatisfied. He turned to look at Yuchi Gong.

What does it mean to be not much worse than me?

Do you, Yuchi Jingde, intend to serve as a spearman for someone else?

During the Hongwu period,

"Tsk tsk, what Tianmu is saying is true. If the Song Dynasty really had an emperor like that, there wouldn't have been so many disasters later on."

"It's just a pity that this is ultimately a fabrication by later generations!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with regret, finally understanding why later generations had fabricated the existence of such an emperor.

It's such a pity, such a huge pity.

Especially Yue Fei!

The Southern Song Dynasty truly had a chance to recover lost territory and destroy the Jin Dynasty.

But the final result....

"Father, if Zhao Gou had remained the same as he was during the reign of King Kang, he might have truly become Zhao Jiu in the heavens."

Zhu Biao felt a pang of regret. The image of Zhao Jiu displayed on the sky was remarkably similar to that of Prince Kang, Zhao Gou, back in the day!

If Zhao Gou had continued in this way, he might have actually been able to revive the Song Dynasty!

"Biao'er, that's not necessarily true."

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, his disdain for Zhao Gou evident in his voice.

"To be so easily frightened by the Jurchens shows that Zhao Gou was never a man of strong will!"

"Perhaps Zhao Gou during the reign of Prince Kang was merely a disguise!"

Zhu Yuanzhang himself found it hard to believe that one person could change so drastically.

It's certain that Zhao Gou's inner nature was extremely weak!

Later generations will regret the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty and will create a story to make up for that regret.

I wonder if his descendants felt any regret when the Ming Dynasty fell.

Did later generations ever imagine a Ming Zhongzu or Ming Shizu?

As the saying goes: With one arrow, the emperor secured Yaoshan; with a triumphant song, the soldiers reclaimed the Han Pass.

Since the Battle of Yaoshan, Zhao Jiu has firmly secured his throne.

After the battle, Zhao Jiu gave an order, pointed to the sky, and all the soldiers drew their bows and shot arrows like rain. From generals to soldiers, everyone bent their bows and shot arrows, shooting down the gyrfalcon for their emperor.

The Song Dynasty finally welcomed its "Grand Marshal of the Army and Cavalry"

The problem of local warlords, which had always been a concern for the Song Dynasty, was completely resolved under Zhao Jiu.

Although Zhao Jiu did not hit Wanyan Loushi, it was Zhao Jiu who fired the first arrow that hit Wanyan Loushi.

Although he himself might miss, he could command the entire army of the land to shoot arrows for him.

This is the true arrow of the Son of Heaven.

"Oh, so it missed!"

Upon hearing Tianmu say that Zhao Jiu had missed, some people showed expressions of disappointment.

They originally thought Zhao Jiu was an emperor with superb martial arts skills like Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin.

"What do you know? This is a real emperor!"

"With a mere wave of his hand, countless arrows shot forth in response; such was the emperor's might!"

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han,

"He's kind of handsome!"

Liu Che was filled with envy as he watched the thousands of arrows being fired simultaneously from the sky.

Liu Che understood perfectly what this meant: from generals to soldiers, not a single one disobeyed Zhao Jiu's orders.

Zhao Jiu doesn't even need the tiger tally to mobilize troops.

If a general were to rebel, he would likely have his head chopped off and sent to Zhao Jiu to beg for forgiveness the moment he uttered those words to his personal guards.

But these are all minor matters.

Liu Che thought this behavior was cool, and he wanted to do it too!

"Issue an imperial decree: Summon the army! I wish to conduct a military review!"

Liu Che waved his hand at Wei Qing, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Wei Qing immediately understood Liu Che's meaning.

It seems we need to prepare a few eagles and hawks.

Since Zhao Jiu ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty has never again caused us any regrets.

In the end, Yue Fei destroyed the Xia dynasty, was enfeoffed as a king, and died a peaceful death. Li Yanxian remained firmly in Shaanxi, Zong Ze did not have to call for the emperor to cross the river three times, and Han Shizhong became the emperor's right-hand man.

In the decisive Battle of Huolu, the 170,000-strong army annihilated the 130,000-strong Jin army, completely driving them out of Yan and Yun.

[After ten years of hard work, the dream of Bianliang has come true; the splendor of Tokyo is gone, and south of Yan and Yun, Jingchen is no more.]

The bleak autumn wind blows again today, but the world has changed.

Wait, Yue Fei?

Many people noticed that the words spoken in the sky were strange.

Yue Fei, as mentioned earlier, was a hero who resisted the Jin dynasty, but was ultimately recalled by thirteen imperial edicts and died unjustly.

Ever since Tianmu mentioned Zhao Jiu, they had assumed that Yue Fei was persecuted in the dynasty of Zhao Jiu's descendants.

But now, it seems somewhat contradictory.

Moreover, judging from the meaning behind Tianmu's words, it all seems like a dream.

"No way..."

The ancient man, sensing the meaning within the celestial canopy, murmured, seemingly unable to quite believe his own judgment.

The statements made on the celestial screen were presented with absolute certainty, logical reasoning, and convincing evidence.

But upon closer reflection, Zhao Jiu seems a little too perfect.

He was practically their ideal monarch.

How could such a perfect monarch possibly exist?

Could it be that all of this is fake?
