In fact, at the same time, Hanzhong City, which has just experienced a catastrophe, has returned to its former prosperity!

These days, the city has calmed down, the soldiers of the Jingyuan Army have withdrawn from the city, and even half of the soldiers from the Imperial Battalion have withdrawn from the city! In the beginning, there were some bold people who sneaked into the streets. After they found out that there was nothing wrong, they told their families, and their families spread to other places. Therefore, today, there is not much difference between Hanzhong City and before the big wedding!

It's just that you can often see two or three people gathering together to discuss!

They don't know much about what happened on the wedding day, and what they know is only gossip!

"It is said that on the same day, you could ask to kill the king, and your majesty killed you on the spot! I have a nephew who works in the imperial camp. My nephew said that your majesty practices martial arts every day, and his martial arts are already the best in the world! You can ask for it! I thought I could kill His Majesty, but with just one move, His Majesty beat Zhe Keqiu until his ribs were broken, and he vomited blood and died on the spot!" said an old peach seller.

"Your Majesty works as a carpenter every day, how can he practice martial arts every day? You are talking nonsense!" The person next to him obviously didn't believe it!

"Your Majesty is the emperor, how could he be a carpenter every day? Those were just rumors before!" the old farmer said.

"This is possible!" The person next to him said in a daze.

The two of them were talking here, and saw a young man walking over. This young man was in his twenties, and he looked quite elegant, like a scholar! He came to the stall and bought a catty of peaches and left with a faint smile on his face when he left.

"These folks are ridiculous! Your Majesty was indeed a carpenter before, but it was just for the sake of numbness! But your Majesty won't let you talk about it, and we don't need to spread it!" The young man shook his head and murmured .

All the way he went forward was actually heading towards the palace!

There was silence at the gate of the palace, no common people dared to trespass here, only dozens of imperial soldiers standing there!

Seeing the young man coming in, soldiers stopped him immediately!

The young man smiled and showed a gold medal, and then he was led into the palace!

"Master Wang Shu, Your Majesty has been waiting for you in Qianqing Palace for a long time!" said the guard.

The young man nodded, and he handed over the peaches he bought to the guard for safekeeping, and hurried towards the Qianqing Palace!

After about half an hour, he came to Qianqing Palace!

Here he saw Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Kang An, Lin Bao and others, and he immediately knelt down and said: "The humble minister Wang Shu sees Your Majesty!"

Zhao Chen nodded, and said, "Hurry up and get up!"

Wang Shu stood up respectfully and followed behind everyone!

Zhao Chen seems to be writing something, but Wang Shu is far away, so he can't see clearly! He was just curious!

After a while, Zhao Chen raised his head. He looked at Wang Shu first, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, General Zhao Zhe went to Dasan Pass, and General Liu Kai went to the Shu Road south of Hanzhong! Why don't you Leave with the two of them, but stay in Hanzhong City instead?"

Wang Shu hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, although I have been in the army for many years, I don't know how to lead troops to fight. I am just a counselor under Qu Duan's subordinates! If I follow Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi Even a general can't help much, so he chose to stay in Hanzhong City! If His Majesty needs a minister, the minister will come immediately!"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "I understand what you mean! I heard that Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi chose me mainly because you convinced them. Is there such a thing?"

Wang Shu nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Zhao Chen said: "In other words, you are the biggest contributor to the killing this time! Without you, there would be no 50,000 Jing Yuan Army, and without the 50,000 Jing Yuan Army, I would not be able to cause trouble!"

Wang Shu hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be a humble minister! The humble minister is only loyal to His Majesty, so I persuaded Zhao Zhe, Liu Kai and the others!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said: "No matter what your purpose is to persuade them, you have made a great contribution! With me, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and deeds must be punished! I was just discussing the promotion of officials with Li Gang. Li Gang used to It is the prime minister, who was later persecuted by Zhe Keqiu and became the magistrate of Chencang County, of course he wants the official to be reinstated! As for you, I decided to give you the position of deputy prime minister!"

ah!

Wang Shu was taken aback, stayed there, and said, "It turned out to be the deputy prime minister?"

He can't believe it! Although he has made great achievements this time, his qualifications are very low. He was just Qu Duan's counselor before! In terms of qualifications, he is not as good as Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi. He originally thought that it was enough for him to be a servant of the Sixth Ministry, and he will be promoted slowly in the future. He did not expect that Zhao Chen would appoint him as deputy prime minister! This deputy prime minister is a high-ranking official in the court, second only to the prime minister and the privy envoy! In addition to the prime minister and the privy envoy, the deputy prime minister has the greatest power! At this moment, he felt that his body was light and light, as if in a dream!

Seeing him staying there, Zhao Chen said, "What? Do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Wang Shu came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how can I be dissatisfied? I just feel that the position of this deputy is too high, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!"

Zhao Chen said: "I believe you are qualified for the position of Deputy Prime Minister! You can study with Li Gang for a while. He has been an official for many years, so he naturally has some experience. He has promised me to tell you all these!"

Wang Shu nodded, looked at Li Gang, and said, "Thank you, Master Li!"

Li Gangdao: "You are welcome! From now on, we will all be His Majesty's courtiers and do things for His Majesty! As long as you are loyal to Your Majesty and work hard, I will help you if you have any difficulties!"

There was a look of gratitude in Wang Shu's eyes, he nodded slightly, and said no more!

Above, Zhao Chen said: "The court has experienced turmoil, and most of the officials in the court, including Han Ping, Wei Ming, and Xue Rui, have been killed! Now the court lacks officials, which is why I appointed you as the deputy prime minister. One of the reasons! I want to do a great cause that no one has ever done in this world, Wang Shu, I believe that the reason why you choose me is also to repay your expectations! I hope that we, the monarchs and ministers, will work together to create a new world that has never been seen in the Han people. Sheng Shi, what do you think?"

Wang Shu felt his heart boil, and immediately said: "I will assist Your Majesty with all my strength, and rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty together!"

Zhao Chen said: "Okay! Just now, Master Li Gang and I have discussed the rewards for generals such as Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi, Yue Fei, Kang An, etc. Come and listen and see if there is anything wrong with it!"

Wang Shu hurriedly said: "Yes!"

Zhao Chen said: "I have decided to appoint Zhao Zhe as the commander of the Jingyuan Army, Liu Qi as the commander of the Huanqing Army, Yue Fei as the commander of the Imperial Army, Wu Jie as the commander of the Yangtze River Navy, and Kang'an as the commander of the Imperial Battalion! If there are no other questions, I will The decree will be issued!"

The official position of "controlling" was not a permanent position in the Northern Song Dynasty. Generally, it was only during wartime that the emperor selected one person to lead the generals, which was called controlling! But now Zhao Chen is obviously using the ruling as a permanent official position, and the most important generals under him are now all "controlling"! Among them, Yue Fei has been in command of the Imperial Army for more than ten days, and now it is Zhao Chen who officially issued the imperial edict! And Zhao Zhe, Liu Kai, Wu Jie, Kang An and others were also officially appointed!

With this "control", the previous official positions such as economic strategy envoys and system envoys will naturally be under the control and accept the command of the control!

As for the Jingyuan Army, Huanqing Army, etc., these are the common divisions of the Northwest Army in the Northern Song Dynasty! The Jingyuan Army guards Jingyuan Road, and the Huanqing Army guards Huanqing Road. Of course, Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi are both in Hanzhong now. Although Zhao Chen assigned these two areas to them, they cannot pass there for the time being!

Wang Shu thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, Master Qu Duan was originally the envoy of Jingyuan Road, and now Zhao Zhe is in charge of Jingyuan Road, what should Master Qu Duan do?"

Zhao Chen sneered and said, "I have decided to appoint Qu Duan as the privy envoy to lead the country's military!"

He wants to call Qu Duan to Hanzhong! After Qu Duan came to Hanzhong, he had no soldiers or generals. Even if he took the position of a privy envoy, he would not pose any threat to Zhao Chen!

This is a strategy of ascending and descending secretly!

Hearing this, Wang Shu was stunned, sighed lightly, and said, "The privy envoy is not bad either!"

Zhao Chen said: "Wang Shu, do you think Qu Duan will come to Hanzhong to accept the post of Privy Envoy?"

Wang Shu thought for a moment, and said: "It should be! I have followed Mr. Qu for many years, and I am very familiar with Mr. Qu! Although Mr. Qu is talented in both civil and military affairs, he has no ambitions. He has always followed the crowd! It's hard to say Point, his character is indecisive! This time, so many things happened in Jingyuan, he must be very anxious, but he dare not take any action! His Majesty appointed him as a privy envoy on the one hand, and on the other hand cut off Jingyuan. I think he will take the initiative to come to Hanzhong to accept the post of privy envoy before long!"

Zhao Chen nodded, and said: "Qu Duan is talented! He is the first person in the Western Army under the teacher's way, with outstanding military achievements! If he comes to Hanzhong, I will not let him just take up a vacant position. If there is a real war, maybe I will really use him!"

Wang Shu nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Since none of you have any other opinions, I will issue an imperial decree! From now on, our army in the Great Song Dynasty will be divided into Jingyuan Army, Huanqing Army, Forbidden Army, Yangtze River Fleet Army, and Imperial Army. There are so many battalions! May the generals work together to eliminate Jurchen and King Kang!"

In the past, there was only Zhe Keqiu in Hanzhong, and Zhe Keqiu alone led more than 100,000 Zhe Keqiu's army. Now it is divided into five parts. Zhao Chen no longer has to worry about Zhe Keqiu's chaos! He also breathed a sigh of relief!

*** ***

At night, after dinner, Zhao Chen came to Kunning Palace again!

It's quiet here, except for Zhe Yueru and her maid, there is no servant in the palace!

The tinkling sound of the piano came from the palace, and Zhao Chen felt that there was peace in his heart!

After a while, Zhe Yueru and the maid finally noticed Zhao Chen's arrival, and they hurried over to see him.

"Get up!" Zhao Chen said calmly.

Zhe Yueru and the maid stood up, Zhao Chen carefully looked at Zhe Yueru, he found that after ten days of absence, Zhe Yueru seemed to have become a little thinner! The sadness in her eyes has not diminished a bit! The only thing that remains the same is her beautiful face!

"Are you still sad?" Zhao Chen said.

"If Your Majesty experienced the death of his father and brother, wouldn't he be sad?" Zhe Yueru said stubbornly.

Zhao Chen nodded lightly, the maid over there had already brought the chair over, Zhao Chen sat down, and then he signaled Zhe Yueru to sit down too.

It was unusually clear tonight, the moonlight poured down from the sky, and the Kunning Palace was bright.

"I came here in April and May last year, and it has been almost a year now! When did you also come to Hanzhong?" Zhao Chen said.

"Yeah!" Zhe Yueru nodded lightly.

Thinking of the joy and curiosity when he first came to Hanzhong, and thinking about the current scene, Zhe Yueru's eyes turned red again.

"Don't cry! I can understand your feelings! Ever since I came to Hanzhong, I have often been lonely in my heart, especially after Yue Fei, Li Gang and others were driven away by your father, I was even more lonely in my heart! In addition to loneliness, there is also fear. I don't know what my future destiny will be like, whether I will always be a puppet, whether I will see Yue Fei, Li Gang and others again! There may be some similarities between my mood at that time and your mood now !” said Zhao Chen.

"Your Majesty, my father is loyal to you, how could he betray you? He must have been framed by treacherous ministers!" Zhe Yueru gritted his silver teeth, and said after a while.

"A treacherous official framed it? Maybe only you would think so!" A mocking smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face.

"Your Majesty, father is indeed loyal, there is no need to question it!" Zhe Yueru said.

She is pure in nature, and she lived in Zhefu since she was a child, and her father didn't talk about politics with her! In her mind, her father has always been a great hero. Perhaps any girl's father has such an image. It is difficult for her to accept that her father is a traitor!

"Okay, let's not talk about your father. You will naturally know what kind of person he is in the future! From now on, I will often come to accompany you, talk to you, and listen to you play the piano. After a long time, I will gradually forget the pain! If you want to go out, I can go out with you! What song did you play just now, how about playing it again for me?" Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

Zhe Yueru nodded slightly, and immediately sat down to play the piano, while Zhao Chen listened to it, not to mention that.
