Emperor Song: It Began with a Mud Horse Crossing the River

In the first year of the Jianyan era, Zhao Huan transmigrated into Zhao Gou, the very Zhao Gou who crossed the river on a mud horse, the future Emperor Gaozong of Song and the infamous traitor who would have Yue Fei killed. An image flashed through his mind: thirty years later, at Fengbo Pavilion, the baseless charges, the twelve gold plaques, and a loyal hero dying unjustly. He knew the script that lay ahead: the Jin army would invade, the court would flee south, the capital would be established at Lin'an, Yue Fei would be killed, and Zhao Gou would bear eternal infamy. He also knew one other thing: if he ran away now, history would unfold on its own, and no one would ever know that a man named "Zhao Huan" had once been there. But he chose a third path. He would be emperor, but he would never follow the script. The Jin army was coming? He would lead the troops to the front himself. Qin Hui wanted peace? He would tell Qin Hui to get lost. Yue Fei wanted to march north? He would supply all the provisions Yue Fei needed and personally hold his horse's reins as they advanced to Huanglong Prefecture. As for the Two Emperors? Kill them!
