The Legend of the Ninth Prince Fiction
The Legend of the Ninth Prince

I was born as a scholar but mistakenly ended up in a royal family. I have read many books and know thousands of characters. If there were peaceful times, I would teach some ignorant children, enjoy some music, and find some friends to sneak a look at beautiful young ladies. Traveling the world with a sword is too tiring; the allure of material wealth and power is too noisy; indulging in drinking is too nauseating. Looking back, I unexpectedly became a king, but the value of my precious head is worth more than gold, and yet it's still too bothersome. Walking a long road, I know that deep in the grassy sea lies a mountain covered in eternal snow, and beyond those hundred-thousand mountains, there is a sky-obscuring heavenly fire. The world is nothing more than a chessboard. With a beloved companion and the wisdom of many philosophers, it's hard to find a moment of tranquility. So, let's join in the excitement and play a few games of idle chess, waiting for the blossoming of spring to see if the jar of wine buried under the crabapple tree in my youth has matured.

Transmigration began with the shame of the Jingkang Incident.

During that era, the Song Dynasty possessed comprehensive national strength comparable to that of the United States, military expenditures akin to Nazi Germany, military combat capabilities at the level of Italy, while the common people lived a miserable life similar to that in Afghanistan. After transmigrating to the Song Dynasty and becoming a prince, I unfortunately didn't have any romantic affairs or a famous horse like the "Yangzhou Shouma". All I had was the constant invasion of the Jin army, making it difficult for anyone to live in peace. Since they didn't want to let me live in peace, I decided to fight back with all my might. Thus, a new era of the Song Dynasty began. Jin Wuzhu sighed, "The Prince exhibits the ferocity of a tiger, making it difficult for my Jurchen people to find peace!" The scholars exclaimed, "This deranged ruler dares to change our customs and violate our ancestral principles!" Yue Fei said, "The emperor's temperament is as fierce as the founding emperor; there is hope for the revival of our dynasty!" Qin Hui trembled and said, "The cruel Emperor Jingwu is comparable to the First Emperor; the great Song Dynasty is teetering on the edge!" Zhao Pu calmly remarked, "Once I'm gone, let the floodwaters rage without control!"
