Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Xiao Ran did not ask about the discussion between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin.

After calculating the time, Xiao Ran went to the first year of Longxing.

Deoksugung Palace

After receiving the battle report from the front line, Zhao Min kept smiling, and now he had to be more forceful when talking to Jin Chao.

However, he was thinking about the firearms of the Ming Dynasty and had some ideas.

Zhang Jun led some soldiers back to Beijing and waited for the emperor's reward.

When Zhao Xin, who was reviewing the memorial, noticed someone, he looked up and saw Xiao Ran. He immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao, it's all thanks to you and Mr. Zhu this time."

Xiao Ran said: "This list is complete."

"Forget it!" Zhao Hao nodded affirmatively, then he spoke with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Xiao, can I have a chat with Mr. Zhu alone?"

How could Xiao Ran not understand what he was thinking, "Okay."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao." Zhao Xin, with a happy face, took out a hundred taels of gold and handed it to Xiao Ran as a reward for setting up a bridge.

It didn't take much time to go back and forth, but it was a pity that Zhu Di was not at Xiao Ran's house.

Huo Qubing, who was eating fruit, glanced at Zhao Xi, who was wearing a dragon robe. "Zhu Di went to the hospital. He said he was visiting Song Taizu on behalf of his ancestors."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan looked worried, "Ancestor is not feeling well?"

Xiao Ran briefly talked about the things he couldn't get in touch with before.

"It just so happens that I'm going to visit my ancestors," said Zhao Yan.

Huo Qubing wiped his hands and came over with a smile, "I have nothing to do, let's go together."

Not long after, Xiao Ran and the others appeared in the ward of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

Seeing them, Zhu Di took the initiative to greet them, "Come, sit down and talk."

Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin drank hot tea and still thought about practicing tea art themselves.

"Who is this?" Zhao Kuangyin, the only one in the ward who had not seen Zhao Xin yet, was slightly confused.

Zhao Xun took two steps forward and knelt down on the ground. He knelt down in awe and said, "I have met our ancestors! I am your descendant Zhao Xin."

Hearing the name, Zhao Kuangyin remembered what Zhu Di had said in a casual chat, "It's great that the Southern Song Dynasty can have such ambitious descendants as you."

Zhao Kuangyin knew a lot about the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty from Xiao Ran, and there were not many people who were willing to go to the Northern Expedition.

Zhao Min was delighted and felt very happy to be praised by his ancestors.

"Thank you, ancestor."

After they sat down one by one, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Xiao, I heard that the Longxing Peace Agreement will be signed if the Northern Expedition fails. This peace agreement has been maintained for forty years. Didn't Zhao Hao make another Northern Expedition?"

Xiao Ran took the tea and answered, "It's not like nothing. The generals of the Northern Expedition were denounced and died before the peace talks. Later, there were not many main war factions left."

"Then entering the Qiandao period, the court lost several important officials. They had to make an exception and appoint officials with lower qualifications, but they all resigned quickly due to business reasons. In the second year of Qiandao, Zhao Hao appointed Ye Yong and Wei Qi as prime ministers, and also appointed Jiang Fu is in charge of political affairs, and Chen Junqing is Tongzhi, Privy Council member and power in charge of political affairs. The long-lasting incomplete ruling team is basically complete."

"Speaking of it, this is a team that reconciles the main war faction and the main peace faction. The four people often have different views and opinions and cannot unite and cooperate. Among them, Ye Yongsu always advocated the restoration of ZTE and suggested that the main war faction be reused. Minister. However, Wei Qi has always been an anti-war leader. He once obeyed the advice of Tang Situi and others. Therefore, whenever Zhao Min wanted to start another war, he tried his best to dissuade him. "

"A year later, Zhao Hao found a reason to remove Ye Yong and Wei Qi from their positions. Then Zhao Hao promoted Jiang Fu to the position of right prime minister, making him the only prime minister. Zhao Hao wanted to go to the north again so that Jiang Fu could seize the opportunity. Planning. As a result, Jiang Fu, who was famous for taking the lead in the battle, advocated maintaining the peace situation because of the lack of time and personnel. When Zhao Min planned to let him serve as the commander of the Northern Expedition, Zhao Fu immediately ordered Jiang Fu to be dismissed. "

"Is it possible that there is no one available in my court?!" Zhao Min looked solemn. He had never stopped thinking about the Northern Expedition, but why was everyone in the court trying to stop him?

Xiao Ran shook his head, "It's not that no one can be used, it's just that the peace faction controls the power. Wang Yingchen, Wang Shipeng, Chen Lianghan, Zhou Cao and others whom Ye Yong suggested to reuse are the war faction."

"It's a pity that they were all demoted."

Zhao Kuangyin looked worried, "Why were you demoted?"

"I offended the powerful." Xiao Ran said a very common reason.

It was clear at a glance which powerful people had been offended.

"Mr. Xiao, what happens after this?" Zhao Min secretly made a note in his mind to promote these ministers after returning.

Xiao Ran continued: "In the fourth year of Qiandao, Zhao Hao appointed Chen Junqing as the left prime minister, and again appointed Yu Yunwen as the right prime minister. Both of them are warlords."

"After Yu Yunwen became prime minister, he actively advocated modifying the terms of the Longxing Peace Agreement, and suggested sending people to the Jin Dynasty to demand that the Jin Dynasty return the Henan area where the tombs of the Northern Song emperors were located, and change the humiliating etiquette of exchanges between the north and the south."

Zhao Kuangyin crushed the cup and said angrily: "My tomb has been occupied by Jin people?!"

"Which bastard junior did it?"

In front of outsiders, Zhao Kuangyin felt like he was losing face.

How could an emperor ever lose the tomb of his ancestors?

Zhu Di suppressed a smile, coughed twice and comforted, "Don't worry, you can still get it back."

It's okay not to say it, but when Zhao Kuangyin said it, he couldn't help it, looked at Zhao Min, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't take back the territory, I will break your legs!"

Zhao Hao quickly agreed, "Don't worry, ancestors, I will definitely take back all the lost territory of the Song Dynasty from the Northern Expedition!"

"Okay, okay, let's continue talking." Zhu Di handed over another cup of tea and urged Xiao Ran to continue.

"Yu Yunwen's proposal was firmly opposed by Chen Junqing, who believed that it was completely futile. Not only would it not be able to change the humiliating status of the Southern Song Dynasty towards the Jin Dynasty, it would also arouse the vigilance of the Jin people and be detrimental to the recovery and recovery of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Yun adopted Yu Yunwen's suggestion, and Chen Junqing had no choice but to resign. "

"Is it done?" Zhao Xun asked nervously.

Xiao Ran was speechless, "How can it be possible? This matter has not been implemented at all."

"But for several years, Yu Yunwen has been the prime minister, and we have discussed the Northern Expedition plan with you. Yu Yunwen is also a talented person."

"He once intercepted the Jin army and fought a decisive battle at Caishiji with 18,000 troops against the 150,000 Jin army, and defeated the Jin army. This battle is very famous. During the Shaoxing period, he proposed the Northern Expedition many times and achieved great success. There were many victories. Later, the Jin Kingdom wanted to compete for the prefectures and counties in Shaanxi that were recaptured by the Song Army. Some people in the court really wanted to give up these places, but Yu Yunwen firmly opposed it. "

"You should be familiar with this matter."

Several people's eyes fell on Zhao Yu.

Zhao Hao, who knew the subsequent results, was a little embarrassed, "With the advice of Shi Hao and others, I asked the Song Army to give up the results."

At this point, he was too embarrassed to continue.

Xiao Ran said, "You can't cross Baoji in the east, and you can't cross Deshun in the north. We want to use loyal people to guard Xinfuzhou County, and the army retreats to Shukou. These are your original words. Yu Yunwen's objections were ineffective. Wu Lin was retreating in a hurry and was The Jin army suffered heavy losses in the sneak attack. The Qinfeng, Xihe, and Yongxing roads that had been recovered were all recaptured by the Jin Dynasty.
