After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

As soon as they arrived, people like Li Gang collectively rebelled, saying, "Why is the emperor so bad? Have you ever thought about it?"

They are all loyal to the Song Dynasty, so what if they are loyal to your Zhao family's ancestors?

It's sad that Emperor Chongzhen had a loyal eunuch, Wang Chengen, while Emperor Tianqi had Wei Zhongxian. Although both had poor historical reputations, at least they were loyal and capable.

Putting that aside, the troops brought by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong were far beyond what they could currently contend with... Sigh, thinking of this, Li Gang could only obediently lead them into the palace to 'report back'.

The group swaggered in, and Zhao Huan, who was in the palace, also received the news. "What?! Li Gang actually staged a coup? Is he trying to usurp the throne?"

However, Zhao Huan was only angry for a moment before he began to worry about his life. He soon burst into tears, "Come on, is there anywhere else in this palace we can get out? Let's go and seek refuge with Father Emperor!"

Before he could finish speaking, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside, enveloping the entire palace. Zhao Huan was so frightened that he hid under the table.

The eunuch beside him also sighed slightly, holding an inkstone on the table as a warning: if necessary, he would risk his life to make sure the emperor left first.

The door was suddenly flung open, and heavy footsteps rushed in. Zhao Huan, who was hiding under the table, trembled. He only heard a muffled thud from his personal eunuch, and then there was no more sound.

The whole world suddenly went silent. He opened his eyes a crack, and a face suddenly appeared in front of him.

This was a burly, dark-faced man with a resolute expression. He gradually curled into a cold smile, looking at Zhao Huan as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Got you—"

Anyway, it wasn't the first time he had killed someone, so killing him again wouldn't be a big deal. However, the current situation in Kaifeng was more suitable for a peaceful transition, so Zhao Kuangyin spared Zhao Huan's life for the time being.

When he summoned his ministers to the court, he saw that many faces were missing. Some of those he had killed before were still there, while others had fled the city long ago to follow in the footsteps of their retired emperor.

These are some old dogs...

In the previous timeline, Emperor Huizong of Song would occasionally send people to scare them before killing them, but in this world, he genuinely wanted to kill them immediately.

When the dynasty was in crisis, Zhao Ji's idea was to first pass the problem on to his incompetent son, then run away, and when the situation improved, he would come back to seize power.

Zhao Kuangyin felt a tickle in his teeth and decided to give Zhao Guangyi a good beating when he got back.

The most urgent task now is to resolve the current crisis.

Zhu Qinggu broadcasted a segment of events taking place in the imperial court and then walked out.

As they approached the palace, Pan Mei, who was temporarily in charge of security inside and outside the palace, advised, "Miss Zhu, it's still a bit chaotic outside. Don't get into any trouble."

Zhu Qinggu nodded. "I'm just taking a look. If it's not right, I'll come right back."

Only then did Pan Mei step aside.

But Pan Mei still sent people to escort them, so that even if they encountered some wary people, it would be easier to talk to them.

After walking a distance, Wang Mengmeng said, "Pan Mei... I feel like this name sounds familiar."

"Have you seen the TV series 'The Generals of the Yang Family'? It was the one that aired a lot when we were kids, the kind of TV series that could give you a brain hemorrhage," Liao Ming complained. "Pan Mei is the prototype for Pan Renmei."

"!" Wang Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't Pan Renmei in the TV series a treacherous minister? This Pan Mei seems alright these past few days."

"Ahem, for the sake of the creation, we added a lot of material. We've also seen Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng is fair-skinned and doesn't have a crescent moon scar on his head. In the Song Dynasty, if a candidate's appearance was different, they would be immediately disqualified. There was no need to talk about a black face or a crescent moon scar..." Liao Ming said softly.

"Moreover, in history, Bao Zheng only served as the prefect of Kaifeng for a little over a year... It feels like he couldn't have investigated all the cases in the TV series even if he served for ten years."

At this point, Zhu Qinggu seemed to have been amused and chuckled, "That's about right. Actually, Pan Mei was quite famous. During the Northern Expedition against the Liao Kingdom, he was the commander-in-chief and Yang Ye was the deputy commander. Later, Yang Ye led his troops deep into enemy territory and was defeated and captured. However, this was also due to the coercion of the supervising officer Wang Shen."

"The only point of contention regarding Pan Mei is that he did not go all out to rescue the enemy. After his death, Pan Mei was honored with a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, so the Song Dynasty highly recognized his achievements."

"So that's how it is..." Wang Mengmeng recalled for a moment, "The TV series embellished his story too much, didn't it? Jealousy of talent, settling personal scores, colluding with the enemy..."

"That was developed in operas and novels during the Yuan and Ming dynasties. When writing about a positive character, you couldn't just write how righteous and wise he was. You had to highlight other aspects, such as how a foolish emperor always framed his courtiers, thus emphasizing their loyalty and righteousness..."

Zhu Qinggu nodded, realizing that his years of experience reading novels had finally come in handy, and he could now speak eloquently about them.

“But now people from the Yuan and Ming dynasties know that people from previous dynasties are still alive and can communicate with them, so it shouldn’t be that bad… right?” Wang Mengmeng said, a little uncertain.

"Haha, look at the comments!" Zhu Qinggu said, and with a flick of his finger, a miniature version of the sky appeared before their eyes.

The screen was filled with comments, all of them about people from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.

(I know, but I won't change it.)

(Without us, who would know who they were? There have been so many civil and military officials in history...)

(Let's make the money first, and then talk when he comes knocking. Even the Ming and Song dynasties didn't establish diplomatic relations so quickly!)

(Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong: It smells so good! I love cooking and eating!)

……

These people are completely defying the rules, like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water.

Compared to saving face, eating is definitely more important. If you can't even afford to eat, how can you have the mind to think about anything else?

Regardless of the reviews, if people are reading it, it means there's an audience. The more bizarre the writing, the more people will read it. Even if it's just garbage, people will still eat it.

They all saw Feng Menglong's words and realized that this guy was the originator of shipping couples.

He ships characters from all dynasties, and during a previous live stream about the Tang Dynasty, he started writing about Tang Dynasty pairings again. It just hasn't spread over there yet. If the actual characters find out, they'll probably come knocking on his door to investigate.

We'll talk about that later.

At this very moment, during Emperor Qinzong's reign, Su Shi and his comrades were still busy. Reminded of this, Su Shi quickly slapped his thigh. He had wanted to go and give this person a good scolding before, wanting to ask him why he was specifically targeting him for trouble.

He forgot the rest, but that's okay, he's remembered it now.

Feng Menglong, you just wait and see!
