The sun is rising, and the city of Tokyo is filled with joy, and the people are consciously hanging red colors in front of their homes.

Today is the day of the enthronement ceremony of Zhao Huan, the crown prince of the prison state. As a saint-monarch figure who exterminated the traitorous party and saved the people of Tokyo from fire and water, his reputation among the people is very high; What's more, the crown prince Zhao Huan has also returned all the rice cakes looted by the traitors of the imperial court to the middle and lower class people, and also took out rice and grain to save the displaced people in the form of work relief, and he is now the benefactor of the people of Tokyo. On today's special day, which they have been looking forward to for a long time, all the excitement and excitement are from the heart

Zhao Ji set off from Yanfu Palace in Luan Yu costume, looking at the inner palace that was much simpler than before, listening to the voices of people outside the palace wall, half gloomy and half relieved.

Although he is very different from a year ago, the benevolence, righteousness, diligence and thrift in his bones have not changed. Kai'er once assassinated him, he not only spared his life, but now he has restored Kai'er's title as the prince...... Maybe the ministers are right, he will be a good emperor, and I only need to cultivate in Genyue! However, being an emperor is like this...... Alas! ”

Zhao Ji shook his head and looked at Daqing Palace.

At this time, inside and outside the Daqing Palace, everywhere was filled with forbidden army guards and banners, with distinctive armor, tall posture, and neat queues, giving people a strong sense of elite; Many officials came and went in a hurry, much better than ever.

Zhao Huan was wearing a dragon robe and had been waiting at Zichen Gate for a long time; Zhao Ji got off Luan, took his hand, and the father and son stepped on the red carpet and walked steadily towards the Daqing Palace.

"Huan'er! How do you feel about becoming an official family and becoming the lord of this great Song Dynasty? Are you satisfied? ”

Zhao Ji said in a voice that only the father and son could hear.

"Father! The Emperor never set the goal of ascending to the throne, on the contrary, it was only the beginning of the Emperor's life. What the emperor wants is for the four razors to be wiped out and the people of the Great Song Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"It's ambitious, but it's hard to achieve. You are still young and do not know the strength of the Liao State. Do you think that your father will only be weak in front of the Liao State? No! Cai Jing has calculated an account for me, and although there are a lot of coins given to the Liao State every year, if there is a war with the Liao State, the public will have to pay at least five times more. Therefore, whether it is me or the ministers, they all think that it is more cost-effective to give the Liao New Year's coin. ”

"Has my father thought about the future?"

"What?"

"The emperor thinks that what his father said is very right, the annual military expenditure of the Liao State consumes more, but the Liao State does not consume it? I am a great Song Guofu, and I am not afraid of Liao compared to consumption. But if you give the Liao State New Year's coins, the Great Song Dynasty will save money, but the Liao State will not consume, but it will become stronger and stronger, and one day the Great Song Dynasty will no longer be able to feed them, and they will open their mouths and swallow the Great Song Dynasty. Cai Jing's strategy looks shrewd on the surface, but it is actually a strategy to mislead the country, if the Great Song Dynasty allows such a person to be in power, our father and son will become a sheep of the Liao people sooner or later. ”

"The Liao people got the New Year's coin, why did they attack the Great Song Dynasty?"

"My father underestimated people's hearts! I heard a story about a goose that laid golden eggs, and this goose laid a golden egg every day, which made the owner of the goose quickly become rich. But suddenly one day, the owner of the goose felt that one golden egg a day was too slow, so why not take out all the golden eggs in the goose's belly at once? So he killed the goose. Father, the appetite of the Liao people will grow bigger and bigger, and it will be more and more difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to satisfy them; Moreover, even if the Liao people are willing to live in peace, the Jin people will ask for more after destroying the Liao! Besides, although the country forgets to fight, it will be dangerous, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty will become weaker and weaker since the Yuan Alliance, if it is not for the emperor to subdue Liangshan, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty will not even be able to defeat the bandits! ”

Zhao Ji was silent. After a long time, he spoke: "According to the agreement between Song and Liao, this year's 400,000-year-old coins will soon be sent to Liao...... After the fall of the Liao State, the New Year's coins of the Great Song Dynasty were transferred to the Jin, but before the fall of the Liao State, I still advise you to send the New Year's coins to the Liao State this year as promised. ”

"Father, rest assured, the emperor has confiscated the property of Cai Jing and others, and has sent someone to cast a golden Buddha in gold, worth two million yuan, and it will be cast in three months, and then the emperor will personally send someone to send him to Liao!"

Zhao Huan's tone was flat, but there were two cold glints in his eyes.

What he didn't tell Zhao Ji was that this golden Buddha was cast as the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, and it was sent to the Liao State not only to serve as a New Year's coin, but also to surpass the souls of the Liao and Jin people for him.

And Zhao Ji saw that his son listened to his advice, the look on his face was much better, and the pace under his feet was faster, so he brought Zhao Huan to the dragon chair, and personally held his shoulders and asked him to sit down in the center.

Fifty or sixty civil and military ministers in the main hall, and hundreds of courtiers outside the main hall shouted long live, kneeling three times and knocking nine times.

Zhao Ji reluctantly glanced down, didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of the Daqing Palace.

After this moment, he has nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty, he only needs to guard his Yanfu Palace and Genyue.

After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Zhao Huan finished worshipping the heavens and ancestors under the auspices of the gift, and the enthronement ceremony officially ended.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the Tanyuan Alliance, the New Year's coins given by the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao State were originally scheduled to be issued in the near future, but I heard that the Jin State was preparing to attack Liao, and the Liao State must need more assistance from the Great Song Dynasty, and the 400,000-year-old coins are a little less! I plan to use 100,000 taels of gold to build a golden Buddha and send it to Liao, now the gold has been prepared, but it will take at least three months to make a peerless treasure, I want to ask Liaoguo to give a grace period of three months, I don't know which minister is willing to envoy to Liao? ”

As soon as Zhao Huan's voice fell, Li Gang, Wen Huanzhang, Zong Ze, Xu Guanzhong and others felt a tightness in their hearts.

The attitude of the official family towards the three kingdoms of Liaoxia and Jin has always been very clear, and it is impossible to send 100,000 taels of gold to the Liao country, it seems that this golden Buddha must have ulterior motives.

Trimester...... Could it be that in three months, the official family will prepare to destroy Liao?

But Tian Hu and Fang La are uneven, how can they deal with foreign enemies?

Don't...... Does the official family want to pacify Tianhu Fangla within three months?

Hiss –

Tianhu Fang La, which one of them is much stronger than Wang Qing, especially Fang La, who occupies the entire southeast, it is not so easy to pacify, at least it is possible to prepare for a year or two.

They had doubts in their hearts, but now they were in the Daqing Palace, and they couldn't point it out in person, so they could only plan to meet Zhao Huan in private after retreating from the dynasty.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and no one wanted to come forward.

Zhao Huan glanced at it, and his gaze fell on Geng Nanzhong.

"Geng Nanzhong! Named you as the national envoy, Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan as deputy envoys, and sent to Liao! As long as I can complete my mission, I will not treat you badly. ”

"I am willing to share my Majesty's worries!"

Geng Nanzhong's scalp was numb, but Zhao Huan had already named him, so he had to accept it.
