Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 62 They Are Damn

Sure enough, within three days, Li Shishi ordered someone to find Chao Tian and said that tonight, Song Huizong Zhao Ji had an appointment with Chao Tian at Fanlou.

Chao Tian was secretly delighted when he heard that, half of his plan had been completed, and now he was going to watch his performance.

The golden crow falls, the jade rabbit rises in the east, a round of bright moon hangs high, and the stars are dotted.

After Chao Tian settled down Niu Gao and Li Yuanfang, he left the inn by himself and came to Fan Lou.

When they arrived at Fanlou, Li Shishi's maid had long been waiting at the gate of Fanlou. Seeing Chao Tian approaching, she went up to greet him and led Chao Tian to another room on the second floor.

This room is different from Mr. Li's previous boudoir. Judging from the decoration inside, it should be a room for guests, with bookshelves, desks, paper, pens, inkstones, everything.

And beside the desk in the room, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow gown was holding a few pieces of paper, chanting something over and over again, shaking his head in amazement.

Chao Tian pushed open the door and walked in. He saw a middle-aged man with a graceful and luxurious demeanor. Without thinking about it, he knew that this person should be the Taoist Emperor, Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

Immediately, Chao Tian walked over quickly, and bowed towards Zhao Ji, who was like an upside-down jade pillar, pretending to be panic-stricken and said: "The last general, Chao Tian, ​​pay homage to the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Hearing someone shouting behind him, Zhao Ji put down the paper in his hand, turned around, and saw Chao Tian kneeling on the ground with a look of surprise on his face.

"General Chao please hurry up, hahaha, I heard that General Chao was so brave in attacking the city in the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago. It really shocked me."

"There are such great talents with both civil and military skills in the court. I just found out today. Cai Jing Gaoqiu and these old bastards are so tired and lazy, so I didn't know about General Chao until so late."

Song Huizong Zhao Ji's enthusiasm made Chao Tian feel a little overwhelmed for a while. How could the majesty of the promised emperor be the same as reuniting with an old friend.

Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, then Chao Tian came back to his senses, somewhat relieved.

Zhao Ji didn't want to be emperor in the first place, and the reason why he sat on the dragon chair of the Golden Luan Hall by accident was only the result of the competition between various forces in the court.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, even strange stones and jade wares, flowers, mullets, fishes, and insects Zhao Ji are all proficient in everything, but they just can't be an emperor.

Is it true that such an extremely intelligent person can't be an emperor? Not necessarily, it's just because of interest. If you are not interested in being an emperor, you won't put your heart into it.

However, Zhao Ji loves poems and songs to the bone. When he saw Chao Tian's poems, he felt like a treasure and couldn't put it down. This is why Zhao Ji was so enthusiastic when he saw Chao Tian.

Because in Zhao Ji's eyes, Chao Tian and him are not courtiers, but long-time friends, friends who share common hobbies.

Thinking of this, Chao Tian gained confidence in his heart, relaxed completely, and talked with Zhao Ji, without the emperor's courtiers at all, there was only a gap between them, laughing and cursing, which made Zhao Ji very happy.

The two talked at night while holding candles, and the conversation lasted all night. Zhao Ji loved Chao Tian very much.

Similarly, Chao Tian also has a new view on this fatuous emperor who has a long history. He is definitely not a good emperor, but apart from his identity, Xin Zhao is indeed a good person.

"Brother Chao is well-educated and talented. I decided to let you serve as the servant of the Ministry of War after Liangshan's army returns. Don't worry, within two years, the position of the privy envoy will be yours, and that old fellow Tong Guan should also let him go." position."

It was already daylight, Zhao Ji held Chao Tian's hand, called him brother and brother, said excitedly, patting his chest.

If ordinary people hear Zhao Ji's assurance, their eyes will definitely be filled with tears of excitement.

But Chao Tian knew that in the capital city, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, it was like a tiger in a cage. There was no development, and only by going out, could he grow stronger.

Immediately, Chao Tian burst into laughter, waved his hands, and said, "Brother, do you know how many states and counties Fangla occupies in the south of the Yangtze River, and how many soldiers and horses are under his command?"

"I don't know about this. There are at most 2 people. Taishi Cai and the others all said that they are a bunch of mobs, which is nothing to worry about." Zhao Ji shook his head and said disapprovingly.

Hearing Zhao Xin's answer, Chao Tian secretly scolded these treacherous ministers for being flattering and bullying, and then said in a deep voice: "Fang La has already occupied the entire Jiangnan, half of the Song Dynasty, with millions of armors and thousands of generals under his command!"

"what?"

Hearing Chao Tian's words, Zhao Ji was shocked. Half of the country in the Song Dynasty had millions of armors and thousands of generals. If it wasn't for the victory of the Liangshan Army and Ma Nanzheng this time, then his Song Dynasty would be about to perish .

"Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, they all deserve to die!" Zhao Ji, who came back to his senses, said through gritted teeth.

At this time, how could Xin Zhao still not understand that it was these few people who joined hands to deceive him, the emperor.

"Brother, please calm down. These people have huge influence in the court and are deeply rooted. Even if you want to get rid of these people, it cannot be solved overnight."

"Even if I become a privy envoy, it won't be of much help to my brother." Chao Tian said.

Hearing Chao Tian's words, Zhao Ji immediately asked, "What do you think, brother?"

"Outside the prefectures and counties, accumulate strength, and when the time comes, go to Jingqin King, Qing Jun's side, and return to the court to brighten the world." Chao Tian said his thoughts.

Hearing Chao Tian's words, Zhao Ji was silent for a while, pondered for a while, and then said: "In this case, then I will let you be a Jiedu envoy, raise some soldiers and horses from the states and counties, and lead the military administration. Which state or county do you think is better?" .”

"Dengzhou!" Chao Tian replied after thinking for a while.

Dengzhou is an important wharf and port in the north of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has convenient water and land and is suitable for development. It is also close to overseas, and it can be attacked or defended. It is an excellent place for development.

Zhao Ji thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, then I will give you a Dengzhou Penglai Jiedu envoy who will also serve as the commander of the Dengzhou Navy and take charge of the military and administration of Dengzhou."

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Chao Tian thanked.

Zhao Ji laughed out loud. To be honest, Zhao Xin is not that sensitive to these official positions. It is just a matter of effort for him. I like you. I will give you whatever you want.

Otherwise, relying on Gao Qiu's appearance, how could he be promoted to the rank of Taiwei in front of the palace.

"However, how should Song Jiang reward them?"

At this time, Zhao Ji no longer believed in Cai Jing and the others, but only believed in Chao Tian in front of him, and asked immediately.

Hearing Song Huizong Zhao Ji's question, Chao Tian lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others are all loyal to the country, and they are even more loyal to their elder brothers. Don't give in too much."

"I heard that in the Taihang Mountains on the border of Hebei, there is a group of forces who refuse to accept Wang Hua. They can let Song Jiang lead the Liangshan army to encircle and suppress them."

"Song Jiang and others must be grateful to his elder brother for the high-ranking official and generous salary. When the elder brother has such an elite in his hands, the court will not be deceived by Cai Jing and others."

Hearing Chao Tian's strategy, Zhao Ji clapped his hands and applauded, and fell in love with Chao Tian even more.

Seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't stay here for a long time, Dang even reluctantly left Fanlou and returned to the palace.
