After about dozens of minutes, Lu Xiufu, Chen Jianghan and others asked to see each other outside the imperial study.

Then, with Zhao Dongting's approval, nearly ten mermaids rushed in.

Zhao Dongting's expression was slightly solemn, but he just asked them to sit down, and then asked, "Everyone, how are the preparations for war going?" ”

The crowd spoke one after another.

Chen Jianghan said, "Your Majesty, the minister has ordered the local government treasury to gather grain and grass. After some time, the numbers will be counted, and they can be transported to the major military regions and garrison military regions in batches. ”

Zhang Xi said, "The ministers have also recruited defenders in each city in accordance with the emperor's orders. Now there are many young people who have signed up. ”

Li Qingyun of the Ministry of Military Industry and Xu Yuesong, the secretary of the Ministry of Military Science, looked at Su Liuyi.

They belong to both the Ministry of State and the Ministry of Military Aircraft, and their status is as special as that of the Ministry of War. However, in a state of imminent war, they are under the overall command of the Ministry of Military Aircraft.

Su Liu Yi said, "Your Majesty, the ordnance made by the military industrial groups in various places has been prepared and can be transported to the four major military regions at any time. ”

Gao Manshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Social Security, finally spoke, "The minister has issued a decree for all states and counties to recruit and arrest quickly, so as to prevent chaos in the city. ”

Their efficiency is undoubtedly relatively fast. After all, it hasn't been many days since Zhao Dongting asked them to prepare for battle.

But after Zhao Dongting listened, he was still frowning.

There has been an abnormality in Shuzhong, and I don't know if it's too late.

After a little muttering, Zhao Dongting was the first to look at Su Liuyi and said, "Deputy Military Commander Su, I will give you an order immediately, let the defenders from all over the country cooperate, and send the ordnance to the four major military regions." ”

Then he looked at Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun, "Lord Xu, Lord Li, the two of you continue to develop new types of ordnance by the Ministry of Military Industry and the Ministry of Military Science." In particular, the Ministry of Military Industry must hurry up with the progress recently, and if you build an additional artillery truck and a thunderbolt, you may lose a few soldiers in our Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Command!"

Su Liuyi, Li Qingyun and Xu Yuesong agreed at the same time.

Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu, Chen Jianghan and the others again, "Your Excellency from the Ministry of State Affairs, you have been doing your best to supervise the collection of grain and grass recently. I ask you to deliver the grain and grass to the major military districts within two months. No, it is important to stock up on grain and grass in all the cities on the border. As long as the war begins, we must ensure that the front-line soldiers are well fed! Dress warmly! ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Chen Jianghan had a difficult face. However, looking at Zhao Dongting's face, he finally nodded, "The minister must live up to his mission." ”

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, and finally looked at Gao Manshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Social Security, "Lord Gao, although you don't have to participate in the war of the Ministry of Social Security, there is very likely to be a big chaos in the market and the people recently, so your task will be even more arduous." I now give you the right to ask for the assistance of the military intelligence department and the defenders in various places, and there are rebels and rebels in the wilderness, and I will capture them and destroy them immediately. ”

After saying that, he thought about it again, "I will also order the Thunder Hall of Wuding Hall to cooperate with your social security department later." There are tricky people, and you can get the Thunder Hall worshippers to take action. ”

His words did not make Gao Manshan happy, but his expression became more solemn.

The emperor actually asked the three major institutions of the Thunder Palace, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Defenders to cooperate with his social security department, and he could vaguely imagine how big the chaos might be.

However, with the cooperation of the defenders in various places, it is enough to show that the arrest of the Ministry of Social Security alone is completely unable to suppress the possible chaos.

Perhaps, this can no longer be called chaos, but should be said to be turbulent.

Gao Manshan couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, can you tell the old minister what kind of chaos may occur......

It's okay to say that the rebels are okay.

Rebels......

Does the emperor think that someone will dare to raise an army to rebel?

With the current prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, this should be impossible.

Zhao Dongting's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "The assassination of Emperor Gong may be greatly exaggerated by other countries, and then there is my Great Song Dynasty before the near extinction of the country, in the past few years, how many eyeliners they have successfully planted in our Great Song Dynasty, and what kind of power they left in the past, no one can say, but as long as these are concentrated and erupted, it may be a major event that can shake the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty." The people, the government and the opposition, and the army may be in turmoil at the same time, you say, what kind of chaos will it be? ”

"Hiss......"

Gao Manshan gasped, "This...... If the Dali Kingdom or the Yuan Dynasty launch a war against our Great Song Dynasty at this time......"

He was a little afraid to think about it.

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "No, if it is." I am sure that as long as the Great Song Dynasty is in civil strife, the Yuan Dynasty and Dali will inevitably take this opportunity to start a war. Because this opportunity was created with great difficulty, which is why I said that your social security department has a heavy task. It can be expected that if there is a war, it will definitely be a big war, and if there is a big war on the front line, there will be instability in our rear, which will have a great impact on the front-line army, and may even make our Great Song Kingdom completely defeated. ”

Go down in flames......

These four words spit out from Zhao Dongting's mouth, making the expressions of Lu Xiufu, Gao Manshan and others couldn't help but be a little more dignified.

Internal and external troubles, the Great Song Dynasty seems to have encountered the previous situation again. I just don't know what the result will be this time.

Soon, the ministers departed.

All departments of the Great Song Dynasty were in full swing and running at super speed.

More than a month passed quickly.

Spring.

Xie Daoqing and Empress Dowager Quan and other imperial relatives were very honest during this time, and they only stayed in the palace and various mansions. Those who are officials are officials, and those who are idle are idle.

It's just that the folk discussion about Zhao Xian's death is gradually surging.

There are various theories, but the most mainstream of them is that Zhao Xiannai was killed by the current emperor. Although everyone dared not say these words in the open, they were secretly discussed.

This has more or less changed the hearts of the people.

Zhao Dongting used to be perfect among the people, and he couldn't find anything wrong with governing the army and governing the government. But now, I'm afraid that many people have a lot of criticism about him.

Killing a brother is unacceptable to many people, even if Zhao Dongting is the emperor.

The royal rivalry is cruel, but in this era when the way of Confucius and Sage prevails, the vast majority of people still spurn this kind of behavior.

There was news that suddenly poured into the Great Song Dynasty like the wind.

The former Guangwang Zhao? m, ascended the throne in Shuzhong. Relying on Chengdu Mansion and Tongchuan Mansion to establish itself as the emperor, the country name - New Song Dynasty.

According to rumors, Zhao? M let it go when he ascended the throne, Zhao? g killed Emperor Gong Zhao Xian and slandered him Zhao? m rebellion, he zhao? m In his lifetime, he must take Zhao? g head to sacrifice to the first emperor and suppress the royal family.

Immediately afterwards, the White Horse Army in Shuzhong all over the country turned to Zhao? m means surrender. At the same time, shouting to break Changsha and capture Zhao? G's slogan.

This naturally caused a greater uproar in the Great Song Dynasty.

This is something that is discussed among the people and the people every day.

At the beginning, some scholars made anti-poems among the people and vigorously criticized Zhao Dongting.

And the words and deeds of these "proud" readers are more convincing. More and more people are being driven by public opinion.

At the same time, the Military Intelligence Department and the Ministry of Social Security also began to show their fangs and arrest rumor-mongers on a large scale.

The whole Great Song Dynasty was surging.

At this time, Zhao Dongting, as the center of public opinion, was sitting in the palace.

Of course, he was not restless because of these public opinions, nor because of the undercurrent of the Great Song Dynasty. It's because Ying'er is about to give birth.

Since Zhao Ru, he Zhao Dongting is about to have a second child.

Since last night, Ying'er began to have seizures, and the midwives and palace maids went to her room to give birth, and they did not come out until this time.

The room just kept ringing out of Ying'er's cries of pain.

In the courtyard, the palace master, the most skilled doctor of the Imperial Medical Department, An Taiyi, and the fennel hall master of the Baicao Hall and others were all on standby.

Yang Shufei, Zhao Dongting, Zhang Ru, and Le Chan were also in the courtyard, their eyes looking at the house tightly.

Even Xie Daoqing is here.

Her original remarks about putting social welfare first had naturally reached Zhao Dongting's ears at this time, which naturally made the relationship between the two suddenly ease a lot.

And the Queen Mother is not here.

She has already drilled into the tip of the horns, and believes that Zhao Xian was killed by Zhao Dongting, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to extricate herself from hatred.

"Ah......h

With a high-pitched scream of pain, everyone in the courtyard held their breath.

"Wow......"

Then there was the sound of a baby crying.

Zhao Dongting's second child fell to the ground.

Zhao Dongting, Yang Shufei and others all showed ecstasy on their faces.

Imperial Physician An and the others immediately knelt on the ground, "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor!" ”

"Reward!"

Zhao Dongting laughed, "Reward!" ”

Then he walked briskly towards the door of Ying'er's room.

Although this is his second child, he is still very happy about it. This is a feeling that only a father can experience.
