Gambling Emperor Zhao Kuangyin

Content introduction It shows Zhao Kuangyin's legendary life from a knight to an emperor, and connects his ups and downs of growth and the foreshadowing of the rise of the dynasty from the unique perspective of the legendary "addict to gambling". When Zhao Kuangyin was young, he was unruly and addicted to gambling. He often visited casinos to play and drink, and left behind many legendary gambling stories: he played chess with the ancestor Chen Tuan in Huashan Mountain, and actually lost the right to the mountain with Huashan Mountain as a bet. After he ascended the throne, he fulfilled his promise to exempt himself from taxes in Huashan. When he was wandering in Bianliang, he lost money in gambling and ate watermelons. The old man Wang, a melon farmer, woke him up with a "coiled dragon stick as a pawn", and he suddenly woke up and quit gambling. After joining Guo Wei's command, he followed Chai Rong in the north and south and made many military exploits, gradually growing into a core general of the Forbidden Army. After the death of Chai Rong, he launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, and Huangpao joined forces to establish the Song Dynasty and create the "Jianlong Rule". At the same time, fantasy legends are interspersed: In his early years, he gambled with five ghosts at night in a ruined temple. In desperation, he made an IOU saying that "the eighth generation grandson used half of his family property to pay off the debt", which laid a fateful metaphor for the troubles of Jingkang and the peace of the Southern Song Dynasty in later generations. The whole play interweaves historical facts and legends, depicting a complex character who transformed from a "gambler" to a wise king. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
