Third Prince Zhao Heng ascended the throne, though he was eight hundred kinds of unwilling. The late emperor disliked the other princes, while Zhao Heng had some talent for governing the country.
When Zhao Heng ascended the throne, Zhao Yi was still young. Otherwise, Zhao Yi would have been the late emperor's choice.
Zhao Yi, who came from Blue Star, led the 200,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry and 30,000 Mo Dao troops granted by the System to destroy the Liao. The borders of Great Song expanded, and the whole country erupted in celebration! The emperor granted a general amnesty, and everyone was grateful to the prince and general who stood beneath only one person and above all others: The Outcast.
Zhao Yi controlled seventy percent of Great Song's officially registered military forces and wielded immense power. He could not enter the capital without an imperial decree.
Besides the Imperial City Division, Yuan Tiangang led the Unorthodox Ones in inspecting the officials. Zhao Yi also allowed the emperor to command the Unorthodox Ones.
Half a month after the destruction of Liao, Zhao Yi had recovered from his serious injuries to the point where he was seventy to eighty percent healed. The emperor ordered him to travel south to Jiangnan and retrieve the Night Banquet Painting. There, he met Zhao Pan'er, and a series of events followed. He later returned to the capital to meet the emperor, and the common people lined the streets to welcome him.
Zhao Yi sat on Zhao Heng's desk, eating the pastries from Zhao Heng's table, utterly unconcerned with appearances. The emperor laughingly scolded him for still having no sense of decorum, but he also enjoyed Zhao Yi's company and did not have to put on airs around him.
I hope the author can keep writing. This is the best fanfic I have ever read. I sincerely beg you not to stop updating 🥺
