Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Seeing Yue Fei defeat Zhang Jun with one move and step on the ground, Han Shizhong and Wang Yan next to him showed shocked expressions on their faces.

Zhang Jun's martial arts is not as good as Han Shizhong's, but he is on par with Wang Yan. Now that Yue Fei can defeat Zhang Jun with one move, how strong should Yue Fei's martial arts be?

In fact, when he was in Guanshan, Yue Fei's martial arts were infinitely close to what Wang Chongyang called "true people" and "arhats", but it was extremely difficult to really enter that realm. Yue Fei has not yet entered that realm! But no matter what, there is no problem in defeating Zhang Jun! When he was outside Xiangzhou City, Yue Fei was able to defeat Zhang Jun and capture Zhang Jun from thousands of troops, let alone now.

Wherever Yue Fei's strength went, all the acupuncture points of Zhang Jun's body were sealed, and he lay on the ground, finally showing a look of terror on his face.

"Come here, tie him up and put him in a prison, waiting for people from the staff headquarters to interrogate him!" Yue Fei said.

The following soldiers rushed over and captured Zhang Jun, not to mention that.

"General Yue, since you're here, stay in my residence for a while. We also want to ask you how to train soldiers." Han Shizhong said.

"I'm going to Xiazhou to deal with Xiazhou's affairs now! Some of Xiazhou's 30,000 deserters have returned, while others are still fleeing. This matter must be dealt with! Also, the city wall must be repaired and the defenses rebuilt! There are so many things! General Han , General Wang, I came here in person this time because I was afraid that the two of you would be bewitched by Zhang Jun, and that you would have any knots in your hearts! Two generals, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. There are personal grievances, but because of the mountainous military law, I have to do this! If I, Yue Fei, violate the military law, I don’t need others to arrest me, I will ask for it myself! We are all here for the sake of the great Song Dynasty. Only by sincerely cooperating with each other, Only then can we gain a foothold in the northwest!" Yue Fei said in a sincere voice.

"We understand! However, General Yue, Zhang Jun came to the northwest with us, I hope you can forgive me." Han Shizhong said.

"I will plead with His Majesty and the General Staff Headquarters." Yue Fei thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Okay! Thank you, General Yue!" Han Shizhong said with great joy.

"Although the Jurchen and Xixia armies have already fled northward, we still can't take it lightly! Yinzhou City is entrusted to the two generals." Yue Fei said.

"The two of us will naturally guard this place." Han Shizhong nodded.

After Yue Fei left, Han Shizhong and Wang Yan said a few more words, and Han Shizhong finally returned to the mansion.

Liang Hongyu came out at this time and asked about what happened just now.

"I have worked with Zhang Jun for so many years, and I can't just watch him be executed! Hongyu, you go to Yanjing City, meet His Majesty in person, and beg His Majesty!" Han Shizhong said fiercely.

Liang Hongyu was startled, then nodded slightly.

In fact, in Liang Hongyu's view, Zhang Jun deserves to be punished for his crimes, but if Zhang Jun dies, she also feels sad for the death of a rabbit, and she cannot just sit back and watch Zhang Jun be killed.

"No matter what, he must be spared." Han Shizhong sighed.

Liang Hongyu nodded again.

"Let's go now! Emperor Xuanwu's military law is strict, Yue Fei must send people to Yanjing now, we can't fall behind them!" Han Shizhong said.

Half an hour later, Liang Hongyu led a few soldiers towards the east.

*** ***

Liang Hongyu's journey was full of dust and dust, and she set off every day before dawn, and only stopped to rest in the middle of the night.

Five days later, she came to Datong.

Leaving Datong and continuing to the east, this is already the place of the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

Compared with the Northwest, the environment here is much better.

On the way, she saw many villages, all of which lived and worked in peace and contentment. She hadn't seen such a scenery for a long time, and felt that such a scenery was much more beautiful than any beautiful scenery in the world.

When passing by a village in the afternoon, she saw a dozen soldiers pushing their carts to the edge of the village, and the people in the village came out to greet them with bursts of cheers.

"What are they doing? Go and ask." Liang Hongyu said.

At that moment, several soldiers beside her walked over and asked about the situation.

After a while, these soldiers returned to Liang Hongyu's side, and one of them said, "General, they are distributing seeds to the people."

"Seed?" Liang Hongyu was taken aback.

"Yes! Spring plowing is about to begin, so I sent the seeds here! The Central Plains and Yanyun are broken, and many people have no seeds in their homes. Gather the seeds, and they often don't have enough to eat." Said the soldiers.

"I see! Years ago, I heard that Emperor Xuanwu began to distribute land. There is a lot of land in Yanyun and the Central Plains. His Majesty distributed the land to the people, and now he is distributing the seeds to the people. It won't be long, Yanyun. The Central Plains are full of vitality!" Liang Hongyu said.

The soldiers nodded, and one of the soldiers said: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and he is really a holy king through the ages."

Liang Hongyu smiled slightly, and continued to lead the soldiers forward, but she was very curious about Zhao Chen, and she wanted to see the emperor more and more.

Occasionally passing by the town, Liang Hongyu passed by the edge of the town, and could hear the people talking about the government and officials. The people of Yanyun obviously praised the government and officials very much, which was something Liang Hongyu had never seen before! When I was in Jiangnan before, none of the people in Jiangnan praised Kang Wang Zhao Gou, and no one praised the officials. The people in Jiangnan all thought that Zhao Gou's subordinates were corrupt officials, and they feared and hated the government, but this was definitely not the case in Yanyun!

Sometimes, Liang Hongyu also saw some officials coming among the people to ask them about farming knowledge. At that time, Liang Hongyu still had a feeling of dreaming! In Liang Hongyu's heart, the officials are high above them all, and they deal with major issues, so why would they care about how to farm? How can officials consult ordinary people of low status?

It was not until the 30th day of the first lunar month that Liang Hongyu arrived in Yanjing City.

This is the first time she has come to Yanjing City, and her first impression is that there are many business travelers here!

Many businessmen come from Jiangnan!

She saw many carriages driving into the south of the Yangtze River from a distance, and the carriages were actually carrying food!

Liang Hongyu sent someone to inquire again, and only then did she know that the grain was shipped from Jiangnan.

It turned out that Zhao Chen sold all the treasures in the imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom to some big families in the south of the Yangtze River, and bought a lot of grain from those big families! In addition to the treasures in the Liao Palace, Zhao Chen once obtained a large amount of gold and silver from the Xixia people, and all of them were used to purchase food!

Those big families in the south of the Yangtze River have a lot of food, many of them are famous big landlords in the south of the Yangtze River, and some have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and decades of grain storage! In addition to the grain, they also brought in some other Jiangnan specialties by the way.

"Now that the government is unified, His Majesty has withdrawn the tax cards from all over the country. When we come here from Jiangnan, we only need to pay the tax once! If this continues in the future, it will be a good thing for business travelers all over the world!" Far away, listening to a businessman talking.

"That's right! Especially after spring, we can come to Yanyun from the sea, which will save more time!" said the businessman next to him.

"By the way, I came from Jiangnan just now. A great event happened in Jiangnan a few years ago!" said an old man in his fifties.

"What's the big deal?" Several businessmen nearby asked one after another.

"The imperial concubine in the south of the Yangtze River has given birth! The whole city of Lin'an is celebrating!" the old man laughed loudly.

Liang Hongyu was taken aback when she heard this! As far as she knows, Zhao Chen is not a womanizer, and there is only one queen in the palace, but she married for the sake of being paralyzed. She has never heard that Zhao Chen still has a concubine, and she doesn't know about the concubine giving birth. .

"This is quite a big deal!" Liang Hongyu secretly said.

For the feudal empire, the emperor's heirs are related to the country and the country. Zhao Chen has no son, so if Zhao Chen is in danger of dying, the whole country may be in turmoil immediately! Only when Zhao Chen has heirs can the country be stable.

After another half an hour, Liang Hongyu arrived in front of the palace.

She thought to herself that she was only Han Shizhong's wife, and there was no notification before she came, so it might not be easy to see Zhao Chen.

Unexpectedly, after she made a brief report, a guard came out and led her into the palace.

"Your Majesty is going to receive me now?" Liang Hongyu said.

"Yes! Your Majesty said that you are a hero among women, General Liang, and he has long wanted to meet you." The guard said.

"It's already the end of the first lunar month, why are there still lights and festoons in the palace?" Liang Hongyu asked curiously.

"Just because your majesty's concubine gave birth to a child in the south of the Yangtze River, the palace is celebrating for several days!" said the guard.

"Who is Your Majesty's concubine? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Liang Hongyu said.

"I don't dare to talk about this matter casually," said the guard.

"Oh." Liang Hongyu nodded, she also knew that her question was a bit abrupt.

The imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom is huge, and Liang Hongyu only felt that although it was big, it didn’t have many decorations and decorations. It didn’t have the luxury of the Jiangnan imperial palace at all, and there were no concubines, maids, or eunuchs here, only guards! Some places should be the offices of the imperial court. People come and go, and those people seem to be in a hurry and keep talking!

Occasionally, some people would look up at Liang Hongyu with astonishment in their eyes, but soon those people lowered their heads to go about their own business.

"You don't need to kneel when you see His Majesty later! Your Majesty said that the state affairs are busy now. If you see him, you have to kneel down. I don't know how much time you will waste! You don't have to beat around the bush when you talk to Your Majesty, just say what you have to say! Your Majesty said He likes to go straight, and the court should be upright, don't hide your thoughts!" The guard walked in front and said softly.

"Understood!" Liang Hongyu nodded, she was extremely curious about this emperor now.

She had known for a long time that the kneeling ceremony was abolished in the army, but she did not expect that in the imperial court, Zhao Chen also abolished the kneeling ceremony, and there was no need to kneel. This was the first of its kind in history.

Finally, they came to the imperial study room, the guard asked Liang Hongyu to wait outside, and he walked in by himself.

After a while, a young man in a dragon robe came out and came to Liang Hongyu.
