Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhao Chen returned to Qianqing Palace, still a little uneasy in his heart!

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with killing Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanwen and others, but for some reason, he felt a little sorry for Zhe Yueru! He also remembered the scene when Zheyueru suddenly appeared during the Spring Festival that day. Zheyueru should be sincerely treating him well and had no other thoughts! The father and brother of the woman I killed were all dead, and the whole family was killed, leaving her alone in the world! This made him feel guilty!

"It's just a woman, do I need to think about this much? There are so many major affairs in the court, I have to think about what to do in the future!" Zhao Chen drove away the boring thoughts in his mind, and began to think about governing the country!

His main enemies now are Jurchen and King Kang, and to defeat these enemies, he must have a strong army! The premise of a strong army is a rich country, and the premise of a rich country is a rich people!

Zhao Chen sat at the table and wrote down the strategies for enriching the people in his heart one by one!

Over the past year, he has been thinking about related matters every day, and he has his own thoughts in his heart!

"Your Majesty, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding are asking to see you!" At this moment, Kang An's voice came from outside!

"Let them in!" Zhao Chen said after thinking for a moment.

Not long after, footsteps came from outside, and Yang Shi and Zhao Ding entered the room!

When they saw Zhao Chen sitting at the desk writing, they were slightly surprised! They had met Zhao Chen several times, and this was the first time they saw Zhao Chen writing! In their hearts, Zhao Chen is a foolish lord, and this lord should continue to be a carpenter in the Qianqing Palace. Why has this lord changed his appearance now?

"Yang Shi and Zhao Ding see Your Majesty!" After learning the lesson from last time, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding finally knelt down on the ground!

"Let's get down!" Zhao Chen said flatly without looking at the two of them.

Yang Shi and Zhao Ding stood up, and they looked at each other. Yang Shi spoke first, and said, "Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that you are a regicide, and you were punished by His Majesty. Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Yang Shi sneered, and said: "Your Majesty is really joking! Master Zhe is loyal to His Majesty, how could he kill the king?"

Zhao Chen said: "He did kill the king! As for what he thinks, I don't know!"

With a mocking look in Yang Shi's eyes, he said: "As far as I know, the Jingyuan Army has already entered Hanzhong City! It was the Jingyuan Army who rebelled against the law, tried to rebel, and killed Mr. Zhe Keqiuzhe! Isn't that the case?"

Zhao Chen finally raised his head to look at Yang Shi, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang is really good at guessing! The reason why the Jingyuan Army appeared around Hanzhong was only to ask for military rations, and they will escort them in the future! The palace was in chaos that day, and I was terrified, so Just call them into the palace!"

Zhao Ding frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know where General Qu Duan Qu is? Can I invite General Qu to speak?"

Zhao Chen said: "Qu Duan? He is the Jiedu envoy of the Jingyuan Army, and he should be in Jingyuan now! If you want to see General Qu, you'd better go to Jingyuan!"

Yang Shi was furious, and said, "Why is your majesty perfunctory us? We knew that the Jingyuan army had entered Hanzhong, and that Qu Duan had already taken control of the Hanzhong regime, yet your majesty still said he was in Jingyuan! Didn't this mean that we were all treated as Fool?"

Up to now, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding think that Qu Duan launched the rebellion, and that Qu Duan wants to replace Zhe Ke and ask the emperor to order the princes! In their eyes, Zhao Chen is still a faint king, a worthless young man! They still looked down on Zhao Chen and dismissed Zhao Chen! After coming to the palace, they only wanted to see Qu Duan, and they didn't want to talk to Zhao Chen at all!

Zhao Chen said slowly: "I didn't deceive you, Qu Duan is indeed not in Hanzhong City!"

Yang Shi said angrily, "Then where is he now?"

Zhao Chen said: "Didn't I tell you just now? He is in Jingyuan City!"

Zhao Ding stood there thinking for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, your wedding is over, we came here to congratulate you, now we should leave!"

Zhao Chen nodded, and said: "I won't send it away! When you return to Lin'an, tell me that Uncle Nine, who usurped the throne, is a traitor. When our troops are ready, we will attack him and kill him." Get off the throne!"

Yang Shiqi blushed and said, "What did you say?"

Zhao Chen has already lowered his head to write at this moment, and will never pay attention to him again!

Yang Shi was extremely angry, and wanted to rush forward to continue reasoning with Zhao Chen, Zhao Ding hurriedly grabbed Yang Shi, and dragged Yang Shi towards the outside!

*** ***

"What are you pulling me for?" They had already arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, and Yang Shi was still furious!

"This is Emperor Xuanwu's territory. Did Mr. Yang forget what happened that day? We were knocked down to the ground! Now let the little emperor have a little bit of verbal advantage, and he will feel uncomfortable in the future!" Zhao Ding said.

"Hmph! This little emperor is fatuous and incompetent. First he was bullied by Zhe Keqiu, and now he is going to be bullied by Qu Duan! He will be a puppet all his life! Forget it, there is no point in arguing with him! Let's leave Hanzhong now and return to Jiangnan." !” Yang Shi said.

"We still need to know where Qu Duan is, and the strength of the Jingyuan Army!" Zhao Ding said.

"But the little emperor doesn't want to tell us at all, how do we know?" Yang Shi said.

"According to my guess, Qu Duan must have gone to the southern side of the Shu Road! Although he captured Hanzhong by surprise, Shuchuan still has his son Zhe Yanzhi, who can be sought, and he must have gone to the Shu Road to deal with Zhe Yanzhi I heard that Zhe Yanzhi is an idiot, so he is definitely not Qu Duan's opponent!" Zhao Ding said.

"Will this Hanzhong and Shuchuan really belong to Quduan from now on?" Yang Shi said unwillingly.

"There is no way! Zhe Keqiu is a generation of heroes, but it is a pity that Qu Duan's methods are even more clever than Zhe Keqiu! After we find out Qu Duan's strength, we will immediately report to Emperor Jianyan and let Emperor Jianyan deal with it carefully! I believe it will not pass How long will this news spread to the Jurchen side, and the Jurchen will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, and Emperor Jianyan may have a chance to go west at that time!" Zhao Ding said.

"That's right! Zhao Ding, what you said is really good! There will inevitably be turmoil in Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, among other things, it is impossible for the more than 100,000 Zhe family troops to obediently obey Qu Duan's orders! Now Zhe Keqiu, Zheyan Wen and others were killed, and the Zhejia army was only temporarily intimidated, so they dared not move! But before long, the Zhejia army will definitely make a big mess, and there will definitely be people who seek revenge for Zhejia. At that time, it is our chance Already!" Yang Shi said excitedly.

"So on the one hand, we need to observe the strength of the Jingyuan Army and see if Qu Duan can take down Sichuan and Shu; on the other hand, we also need to observe the situation of the Zhejia Army to see how much turmoil the Zhejia Army can cause in Hanzhong!" Zhao Ding said. .

"Yes! Let's go to Nanzheng first?" Yang Shi said.

"Not bad!" Zhao Ding nodded!

The two of them also had more than a dozen entourages. At this moment, they left Hanzhong City with these dozen entourages and headed towards Nanzheng!

For the two of them, Zhao Chen didn't take them too seriously, he didn't make things difficult for them! Among the two, Zhao Ding can be regarded as a wise man, but the wise man sometimes misunderstands, and the wise man is also subject to the constraints of the times! The trend of the times is mighty and mighty, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish! Zhao Chen has endured for such a long time since he came from later generations, analyzing the way of governing the country and the situation of the times every day, and he thinks that no one can compare in this respect! Although Zhao Ding is strong, he is by no means his opponent!

He just secretly sent a few people to follow Yang Shi and Zhao Ding, and let people keep reporting their whereabouts to him! If these two people don't do anything extraordinary, let them leave Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan smoothly!

Yang Shi and Zhao Ding first came to Nanzheng. They thought that the Zhejia army barracks in Nanzheng would be in chaos, but after arriving here, they found that there was order and there was no chaos at all!

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the barracks, a soldier stopped them immediately, and the soldier asked, "Who are you?"

Yang Shi looked at the soldier with some disdain, and said, "What are you, worthy of talking to me? Quickly let the general of your Zhejia army come out and talk to me!"

The soldier's face turned cold, and he said, "What are you? How dare you trespass into the barracks? Besides, this is not the Zhejia Army, but the Forbidden Army!"

Yang Shi was extremely annoyed at first, but when he heard that this was not the Zhejia Army but the Forbidden Army, he froze there and said, "The Forbidden Army? Why did this place become the Forbidden Army? Didn't the Forbidden Army be completely wiped out by the Jurchens?" ?”

The soldier sneered and said, "The Imperial Army in Kaifeng was completely wiped out by the Jurchens. We are the newly formed Imperial Army! His Majesty personally named us and let us restore the style of the founding era of the Imperial Army! Who are you? Quickly report your identity! If not, you will never even think about leaving here today!"

Yang Shi still stood there sluggishly, while Zhao Ding said in disbelief, "Your Majesty named you all himself? Has Your Majesty ever been here?"

The two of them have been locked in the post house for the past few days, and they don't even know about Zhao Chen's coming! Moreover, Zhao Chen stayed in the barracks. This is a confidential matter. The general Hanzhong City officials don't know about it. How could they know!

The soldier looked at the two of them coldly, and said: "Your Majesty stayed with us for several days. Your Majesty is the most benevolent sage in the world. He forgave all our crimes and gave us all the discounted military pay. Supply us! We soldiers can tell His Majesty any grievances, and His Majesty will find a way to deal with it for us! He loves soldiers like his son, and we are all loyal to His Majesty! You two can only ask the traitor party, right? If you don't reveal your identities, I will take you down now!"

The soldier shouted coldly, and immediately the rest of the soldiers drew out their weapons and surrounded them!

Yang Shi was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "We are the envoys who came to Hanzhong to celebrate Emperor Xuanwu's wedding at the order of Emperor Jianyan, and we are definitely not a party of rebels who can afford it! We also have a certificate issued by Emperor Jianyan here." Token, you can check it!"

The soldier snorted coldly, spat fiercely on the ground, and said, "Emperor Jianyan, he is just a traitor, and you can be the same as you are!"

After carefully checking the identity certificates of the two, he believed what the two said, and said: "The two countries are at war, don't kill them! You are lucky today, I don't care about you! But you leave quickly, Otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

Yang Shi hesitated for a while, he didn't know whether to stay here or leave here! He has a rough personality and is often angry, but once he sees that others are stronger, he is extremely weak and wants to back down! On the other side, Zhao Ding smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Who is the general in your army? We want to meet the chief general of your army!"

The soldier snorted coldly: "General Yue is busy right now and has no time to see you! Leave quickly!"

Zhao Ding handed over a piece of silver, and the soldier's expression improved slightly, and he said, "I'll report it for you!"

The original Zhejia army had a rotten style of work and chaotic military discipline. Although Yue Fei had joined this army, it was impossible for this army to undergo fundamental changes within three to five days! The soldiers all felt that accepting bribes was the most normal thing! However, their loyalty to Zhao Chen was true. Although Zhao Chen only stayed in the barracks for three days, he went deep into the army and did something that the kings of all dynasties never did. Those soldiers were indeed extremely grateful! Now maybe there are still some generals who can ask for loyalty in half, but the soldiers are all loyal to Zhao Chen!

After a quarter of an hour, the soldier came out and said, "Leave quickly! General Yue said he won't see you!"

Yang Shi and Zhao Ding had no choice but to leave the barracks!
