Only then did Xiao Shan realize that Zhao Yuan had only stayed in his room for more than ten minutes just now.It seems that I can't even reach Zhao Yuan's concubine, at most I can be regarded as a wild cannon...

He just fell asleep like this, and the next day coincided with the five-day court meeting, Zhao Yuan brought up his idea of ​​moving the capital again. The conservative group headed by Shi Hao firmly opposed it, while the radical group headed by Chen Junqing and Yu Yunwen Strong support.

Zhao Yuan didn't need to talk too much, just watched the two sides debate each other fiercely from above.

When the conservatives below were about to occupy the upper peak, Zhao Yuan looked at Xiao Shan and said, "Xiao Qing's family, you came from Jiankang, do you have any latest news?"

Xiao Shan bowed, and played according to what the two discussed last night: "Your Majesty, there is nothing new, but I got a poem written by Wanyan Liang." He took out the notebook he wrote last night and handed it over.

The deacon and eunuch Gan Min came down and took Xiao Shan's notebook, but Zhao Yuan didn't read it, and simply said: "Read!"

Gan Min read straightly: "As soon as Wanli Che's book is mixed up, how can there be another frontier in the south of the Yangtze River? Raise a million troops to the West Lake, and immediately go to the first peak of Wushan."

Zhao Yuan jumped up against the case, with a hint of anger on his face: "Everyone heard it, Wan Yanliang didn't want to settle the border dispute at all, he clearly wanted to destroy my Song Dynasty. I was forced to this point, I had no choice but to Fight to the death! There is no need to discuss the matter of moving the capital! I have made up my mind, and it is time for Wan Yanliang to show off!"

Shi Hao and others hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please don't act out of loyalty, think twice!"

Zhao Yuan pretended to be angry and said: "Why think twice? I want to think twice, but Wan Yanliang can't allow me to think twice!"

Shi Hao kowtowed and remonstrated: "This battle is of great importance. Your Majesty's presence on the front line will definitely boost the morale of the three armies. It's just that moving the capital is really difficult..."

Zhao Yuan interrupted Shi Hao's words: "Even if the relocation of the capital is not possible for a while, I am still preparing for the imperial conquest. This matter is settled like this, and there is no need for much!"

Seeing that Zhao Yuan was willing to retreat, Shi Hao knew that this was the emperor's bottom line, so he could only say: "If His Majesty insists on doing this, old minister... old minister has nothing to say."

Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, Shi Haoken let go, other people would be much easier to deal with, Chen Junqing and others took the opportunity to come out, and did not give any objection to this at all, and began to discuss the details of Yujia's personal conquest .

Xiao Shan looked at Zhao Yuan with an imperceptible smile on his face, Zhao Yuan also looked at Xiao Shan with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

When the courtiers' discussions came to an end, Zhao Yuan proposed to vindicate Yue Fei.This matter went very smoothly. Since the emperor was going to conscript himself, it was inevitable to engage in early publicity.

Zhao Yuan ordered to search for Yue Fei's descendants, and ordered his wife and children who had been exiled in the south to return to Beijing.The emperor's list was published again to search for Yue Fei's missing body.

After Yue Fei was killed, the jailer who guarded him couldn't bear the damage to his bones, so he stole them and buried them under the tree in Dali Temple. .When Yue Fei's body was unearthed, his body did not rot, just like when he was alive, with nothing but a white jade ring beside him.

The bodies of Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were also excavated later. After so many years, the bodies of these two people have been eaten by insects and ants, leaving only two bones.The only thing that is strange is that each of the two bones has a jade wrench finger in its mouth, which is amazing.

On the day of the excavation of the body, both Zhao Yuan and Xiao Shan were present. It has been 11 years since they buried their bones. Xiao Shan stepped forward, took back the two jade ring fingers used as markers, and held them tightly in his hands.Zhao Yuan's eyes were slightly red, and he presided over the funeral of Yue Fei and his son and Zhang Xian personally. They were buried at Qixia Ridge by the West Lake, offering incense and praying: "May the spirit of Zhongwu in the sky bless the Song Dynasty."

The officials also bowed and saluted, and Xiao Shan was among them.

The tombs of Yue Yun and Zhang Xian in the later generations are all clothes tombs, but this time, there are bones of real people.

Everything is changing, the wheel of history has deviated from the original track, driving further and further into an unknown future.

Among Zhao Yuan's series of actions, Zhao Gou reacted the most.Zhao Gou is about to die of depression now. When Zhao Yuan was the prince and prince, he was always an obedient and obedient baby.Zhao Gou originally thought that after he became the throne, he would still be a good boy who obeyed his father's advice. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan was still very obedient in the first few months after he became the throne. Now Zhao Yuan is becoming more and more disobedient. Although there are a lot of visits from Ann on weekdays, once Zhao Gou talks about the gold policy, Zhao Yuan either cares about it, or resists it softly. Now it has intensified. Zhao Gou didn't even use jumping feet and scolding for death and life.

When he heard that Zhao Yuan had absolutely abandoned himself and wanted to conquer in person, Zhao Gou couldn't sit still. The reason why he was willing to abdicate at the beginning was entirely because he hoped that his son could save half of the country so that he could enjoy life in peace.But now everything is going in the opposite direction to what he expected.

When Zhao Gou inquired about the shape of the jade ring finger in Zhang Xianyueyun's mouth when he was unearthed, the past many years ago came to his eyes.

That year, Zhao Yuan was just 16 years old, when Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were killed in the city, Zhao Yuan came back very late that night, and the jade wrench that he always carried in his hand disappeared.Zhao Gou had already forgotten about this incident, but now that he thought about it carefully, he finally realized that this adopted son had planned it 16 years ago. He pretended to be a good baby and held back until With the power in his hands, he was out of control.

Zhao Gou was anxious and angry, no matter whether Zhao Yuan won or lost this battle, it was a very bad thing for him.If he wins, Zhao Yuan's prestige will be unshakable, and what he says will be worthless; if he loses, it will be even worse. Wan Yanliang will raise his troops to go south, and he will be even more embarrassed if he has to run away .Zhao Gou felt that he was too old to bear such a toss, and he didn't want to toss it very much.

He began to openly or secretly contact the conservatives and peacemakers who opposed the pro-conquest, and began to consider the issue of abolishing the emperor.

Of course, all these activities of Zhao Gou could not be concealed from Zhao Yuan's eyes and ears. The Supreme Emperor wanted to meet some officials, so there was no reason why he should not be allowed to see them.If it wins, then everything is easy to say, if it fails, it will inevitably be beyond redemption.

Because of rehabilitating Yue Fei, the father and son have completely turned their faces.Not to mention that Zhao Gou heard that Zhao Yuan actually used Zhang Jun, whom he hated the most.One day when Zhao Yuan was in court, Zhao Gou swaggered to Chongzheng Hall and scolded Zhao Yuan: If you want to use troops against the Jin Kingdom, wait until you have a hundred years to think about it!

Zhao Yuan didn't say anything at that time, but after perfunctory Zhao Gou, he sent him away in a pleasant manner. Xiao Shan was there at the time, seeing Zhao Yuan's ambiguous attitude, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

When there were not many people around, Xiao Shan asked worriedly: "The Taishangguan's family is like this, what does Your Majesty plan to do?"

After a while, Zhao Yuan said meaningfully: "National affairs are the most important thing." It was a thorough statement of attitude, even if Zhao Gou hanged himself now, he would never be moved by it.

Zhao Yuan started to transfer personnel in the court. He first sent Chen Junqing to Jiankang to assist Zhang Jun who was already there in arranging related matters, and then made Zhao Gou's loyal confidant Yang Cunzhong king, and took away his position as the chief of the three yamen. The position was replaced by his confidant Yu Mo, and Yu Mo was ordered to stay in Lin'an. If there is a change, he will do it when it is time to do it.He also left Yu Yunwen behind to arrange some trivial matters in Lin'an, and asked him to manage the taxes sent from various places and supervise the delivery of grain and grass from various places.

After arranging all this, it has been a month, and the news from Jiangbei has also spread. Wan Yanliang signed 60 troops, known as a million, and divided them into three groups, from Guanshan, Jingxiang, and Huaixi. The road goes south.

The Guanshan and Jingxiang areas were not led by two other generals from the Kingdom of Jin, while Wan Yanliang moved the capital to Bianliang, led the East Route Army, and arrived in Huaixi.

Zhao Yuan announced to the world that Wan Yanliang was going against the law, and he took away Shi Hao, an official of the main combat faction in the court and an important official of the conservative faction, and went to Jiankang to conquer in person.

Originally there were about [-] troops stationed in Lin'an to defend the capital, but Zhao Yuan took away [-] and left [-] behind.Although he knew that Zhao Gou might make some moves, the officials left behind for him were all in charge of logistics, and with Yu Yunwen and Yu Mo sitting in charge, even if Zhao Gou took any action, it would be difficult to make a big deal.

When Yu Jia set off, the [-] Imperial Forest Army led away by Xiaoshan, the commander of the capital, headed for Jiankang in a mighty manner.

This departure was completely different from Zhao Gou's last "Private Conquest". The people in Lin'an stopped to watch the emperor leave the palace. Some young people were very excited, thinking that the new emperor had more ambition than the old one.However, some people sighed silently in their hearts: Is the emperor going to abandon Lin'an?In case the golden soldiers call, what will happen to our shops and property?

Xiao Shan rode his horse at the front of the team to open the way, the morning sun shone on him, making him look very eye-catching, Zhao Yuan didn't ride in a car, and he rode his horse in full military uniform.No one knows the final outcome of this war, not even the "prophet" Xiao Shan.

Historically, Wanyan Liang was killed by his own people during the southward invasion here, and died in the middle of the river. The southward invasion failed, and Wanyanyong, the king of Jin known as the little Yao and Shun, came to power, and Song and Jin once again fell into a confrontational situation.

But this time, Wan Yanliang has not been in power for too long, and his perverse behavior has not yet reached the extreme. His generals have not yet hated him deeply, and internal rebellion may not appear.Wan Yanyong, who succeeded Wan Yanliang in history, is now 31 years old, in the prime of life, and currently stays behind in Tokyo. The relationship has not yet reached the freezing point, whether it will abolish the emperor and stand on his own during Wan Yanliang's southern expedition is another matter.

The Kingdom of Jin sent 60 troops, and the Southern Song Dynasty organized and resisted less than 20 troops. It is hard to predict the outcome of this great battle.

Yu Jia did not harass the local government too much along the way, even on the way to reach Lin'an as soon as possible, Zhao Yuan also divided the team that set out this time into three groups, and let them ride on horseback. Half a month later, Yu Jia arrived in Jiankang , The officials who arrived at Jiankang City one after another all went out of the city to greet them. Xiao Shan also dismounted and ordered the team to line up on both sides.

Jiankang's situation was worse than Zhao Yuan imagined.Zhao Gou lived here for a while more than 20 years ago. At that time, Zhang Jun was the prime minister, and the city was looted by Jin soldiers. There was no palace, and the ground of the office room was even land.

Although this time was a bit better than last time, it was far worse than the Lin'an palace. Zhao Yuan lived in the Lin'an government office, and his office and accommodation were together. He brought a few people who were in charge of daily affairs, and many of the new officials lived in temporarily rented rooms. After arriving that day, Zhao Yuan had no time to change clothes, so he summoned everyone and asked about the situation on the front line.

Wan Yanliang has already led his army to Sizhou on the other side, and has won the victory and occupied Sizhou City. The soldiers who were stationed in the city threw away their helmets and armor and fled. They crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at Jiankang and Zhenjiang. Zhao Yuan simply came here Immediately, these soldiers who were scattered from the front line gathered again, and the two armies set up camp across the river. Zhao Yuan climbed up the tower of Jiankang, and he could even see Wanyanliang's camp on the opposite bank stretching continuously, like a huge python, entrenched On the other side, the torches on the other side even illuminated the river in the darkness. There was a constant flow of scout boats on the river. Some enemies came to inquire about the news, and some were sent by the Song army to inquire about the situation. They would often encounter friction in the river.In one night, more than a dozen short battles could even take place.

With the arrival of Zhao Yuan, the Song army also continuously dispatched troops from various places to concentrate here.

The war is about to start.
