One morning, Zhao Gou wakes up to find that his modern soul has become the very Emperor Gaozong of Song who had Yue Fei executed and retreated to a corner of the realm!
The Jin armies press at the borders, while treacherous ministers hold sway at court. The humiliation of history and the fear in his body pierce him at once.
No! I won't bear the infamy of the ages!
The killing intent has been burning since his first day at the Yangzhou palace. Qin Hui? Wang Boyan? They won't be allowed to wreak havoc at court again! The executioner's blade falls, and the four villains are put to death. Their bloody heads announce the new emperor's iron-fisted rule, striking fear throughout the court and country.
Yue Fei, Han Shizhong: now those are the blades the nation needs! I give you my absolute trust and the authority to expand the army and march north. I want to see with my own eyes the banner that says “March straight for Huanglong” raised above the gates of the old capital!
But that isn't enough. To hold the power of the realm, I need a backbone of steel. Establish banks, promote military education, forge cannons... My vision beyond this age will become the foundation of a mighty Song dynasty.
Even as he reclines with beauties, his blood still burns. When the imperial dragon banner first snaps in the wind on the battlefield, and he personally arrives at the front at Zhuxian Town, he points his sword north and thunders at the troops:
“The enemy can come to us, and so can I! This time, I will personally reclaim every inch of this vast land!”
This is the epic tale of a transmigrator who, with iron and fire, rebuilds the backbone of Huaxia and creates a golden age for the Celestial Empire!
It looks very cool when elevated
