Great Song: Have You Lost Your Minds? Every Official at Court Is a Bandit

Zhao Jingyuan transmigrated to the Northern Song Dynasty and became the least favored of the emperor's six sons. Thinking of the humiliating Jingkang Incident, which would bring disaster in just over a decade, he wisely kept to his fief and bound himself to the Divine Dynasty Investiture System. All he had to do was promote talent and grant official posts to earn generous rewards, while his subordinates awakened heaven-defying traits! To protect himself in a chaotic age, Zhao Jingyuan frantically recruited desperados from among the common people. He promoted a down-and-out, portly monk to be his bodyguard and received “Mighty Heavenly Dragon” as a reward. The monk casually uprooted a willow tree! He promoted a conscripted convict to be an instructor and received the “Great Snow Dragon Cavalry” as a reward. The instructor skewered 800,000 imperial guards with his spear! He promoted an old beggar to be a spy and received the “Heavenly Net Assassins” as a reward. The old beggar struck out with one palm and unleashed eighteen golden dragons! More than a decade later, the Jin cavalry marched south, shaking the Great Song. Zhao Jingyuan had expected a brutal battle to defend history, but when he reached the front lines, he was stunned. Lu Zhishen smashed a Jin city wall with one punch? Lin Chong and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry were grinding the Jin commander into the dirt? “Wait, I thought I was playing a hardcore historical survival game. You're telling me this is a world of mixed martial arts and Water Margin?!” That night, a court full of hardened bandits stormed into his tent with bloodstained weapons in hand. Their leader draped a yellow robe over Zhao Jingyuan's shoulders. “Your Majesty, we ministers believe the Emperors Huizong and Qinzong are utterly useless. Please ascend the throne at once!”
