The diplomatic envoys of the Liao State were stranded in Bianjing, but the cardinal judge Wang Yan did not see them for the time being, so they lobbied everywhere and asked everywhere to meet the anti-war faction who contacted the first three rows of the Song State.

But Wang Yan didn't have the energy to care about these guys for the time being, because Lao Zhao "woke up" at this time.

As early as the end of December last year, Tai Hospital had announced that Lao Zhao was critically ill, saying that he was terminally ill and had no medical treatment. Not to mention feeding medicine, feeding water into it, Zhao Zhen's body will not be able to digest and absorb it, while the other side is in a state of dehydration.

Wang Yan has a way to inject "glucose" into Lao Zhao, but he can't. First of all, the illness is really incurable. As the emperor, when he can't save him, he rescues him in a way that the hospital can't understand and doesn't approve, and once he can't reverse his death, then Wang Yan's reputation and responsibility will be great.

So this was what Wang Yan was most worried about during that period. The so-called Wang family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner turmoil, the Great Demon King even Wang Anshi was intimidated, in fact, because of this matter.

At that time, Wang Yan urged the Northeast Field Army Command to advance, which was based on Lao Zhao's critical illness.

In real history, Lao Zhao was critically ill in February this year and died at the end of March. At the time, Wang Yan didn't know if history would change. As a last resort, judging that the war would not be lost, he decisively asked the high command to fight a decisive battle in advance, so this conflicted with the views of the high command.

That's because at the political level, if the news of Lao Zhao's death appeared in February, and the Battle of the Northeast could not be ended before that, Wang Yan could not estimate how much impact such news would have on the entire country.

Lao Zhao's influence is really great, to a certain extent, in addition to the court bureaucrats and many people in the Song State who love him, the Empress Dowager of Western Xia and the current Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji are also fans of Lao Zhao and love Lao Zhao very much.

Yes, Lao Zhao really has such a personality charm.

These are the reasons why the Great Demon King urged the Northeast Command to deploy the third stage of the decisive battle in advance, otherwise wouldn't the Great Demon King know that it would be better to delay for more than a month before fighting?

I was worried that in case Lao Zhao died, under the sensitive political situation, even the Great Demon King would not dare to cover up the news of the emperor's death.

Fortunately, everything also requires a certain amount of luck, Lao Zhao did not die in February, and now in mid-April, he woke up, drank a lot of water, had a big appetite and ate a lot of food, and then summoned the new Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Da Yan, with a red face.

Now Dayan hurried to the Qing Palace, and saw that Lao Zhao's situation was basically in his heart, which was the emperor's return.

So Wang Yan was also very emotional, Lao Zhao is very old now, but in his memory, he always vaguely feels that he was back then, the emperor who took care of the little children everywhere.

"Official...... I finally woke up, and I wanted to hear any newspapers, so I will talk about it. Wang Yan said warmly.

Lao Zhao shook his head, motioned for Wang Yan to sit down, twisted his long gray beard and said: "No need, I woke up and gathered newspapers and newspapers from all over the world to watch, and basically learned about the rise of my Great Song Dynasty, after defeating the million heroes of the Liao State, and establishing the hegemony belonging to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wang Yan nodded slightly.

After Lao Chen brought the tea, Zhao Zhen felt disgusted, so he waved his hand and said, "Give it to the child, I don't want to drink it." ”

Lao Chen sent it over and said, "Xianggong, please drink tea." ”

Wang Yan drank it all in one gulp and cut straight in: "The official, the minister is tired, take advantage of the official's wake-up to return to the government." ”

Lao Zhao shook his head slightly: "This matter is not urgent, I know my body, I really can't do it, but the Great Song Dynasty is not really stable." I only ask now, how did Zhao Zongshi perform when I was in a coma and couldn't govern? I asked others about it, but they didn't know much. ”

In this regard, Wang Yan is also faced with a choice.

After weighing, Wang Yan said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made some mistakes, but who can not make mistakes." The minister thought that he was a qualified prince, and no other clan disciple would do better than him. ”

"Kid, you're sloppy too?" Zhao Zhen frowned.

Wang Yan said: "Maybe there is this mentality, but what the minister said is also the truth. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't bother with this, nodded slightly: "Promise me, don't start a big war!" ”

Wang Yan hesitated for a while, Lao Zhao had two meanings, while not continuing to fight a super-large war, it was also equivalent to making an oath to return the government to the future emperor as soon as possible.

"The minister agreed." Wang Yan said.

Lao Zhao was not sure how heavy a person's promise was. But according to the reputation of children in the past, the current situation is only to choose trust.

Zhao Zhen himself knew very well that Wang Yan's centralization of power had reached a certain level, and it was difficult to control it.

Now, it can be said that the Great Song royal family has the last chance to deprive him of his rights. Taking advantage of Zhao Zhen's soberness, relying on the prestige and personality charm of Lao Zhao who has been in power for decades, he can speak now, and he can smoothly let Wang Yan hand over power.

Lao Zhao knew very well that after this time, as soon as he kicked his legs, no one in the Great Song Dynasty could force him to hand over power. Unless he is willing, it is the situation between Prime Minister Zhuge and the queen.

This is also a gamble for Lao Zhao, on the one hand, the situation is still unstable, and the empire's hegemony is at the most critical watershed, and this performance will also be regarded as Zhao Zhen's explanation of Zongmiao and Sheji. On the other hand, Lao Zhao knew that he had no time, and he could no longer protect the clan with Zhao Zongshi as the core to go further, once it was decided, everything in the future would depend on Wang Yan's conscience.

Fortunately, as soon as the child came in, he planned to take the initiative to hand over power and return to government, which made Lao Zhao slightly relieved. In addition, Lao Zhao watched him grow up all the way, and it was the mentality of the elders to the younger generations, knowing that although he would get into trouble, he was a "child" with a conscience and a bottom line.

What made Lao Zhao happiest was the naming of the "Royal Navy and Air Force".

The army does not say that it is a forbidden army, and the name of the "forbidden army" is the imperial army. The little devil continued this rule, the new navy and air force appeared, and the new military branch was born in the season when he had the final say, but he still named the "royal", which is completely equivalent to a commitment to return power to the government, and it is also the best way for him to obtain the cooperation and understanding of the old master's establishment in that special situation.

Based on these many signs, Lao Zhao can't take care of more, and is willing to believe in children, and can only choose to believe in children.

In fact, Lao Zhao's mind was right.

Since he decided to return to power, the naming of the "Royal Navy and Royal Air Force" is equivalent to further reassuring the crown prince and Empress Cao, as well as the old masters, so that they can cooperate without delay. After all, it is ancient, and there is no doubt that this naming will also make the army more morale.

These are all details, all tacitly, and have become the tacit understanding between the Great Demon King and the old emperor in this special period.

After sighing, Zhao Zhen let go of all his thoughts and thoughts, feeling a little unwilling, and wanted to do something in the end, but Wang Yan basically finished it, and he didn't know what to do?

Wang Yan was silent for a while and said softly: "If the old official's family feels that time is limited, the minister wants to invite the old official's family to go to Dengzhou and personally inspect your 'Royal Navy'." ”

The reason why Dengzhou was chosen is because Dengzhou has a railway to Bianjing, and Haizhou has not yet been connected.

The manned special machine will be faster, but now the design and process problems are not small, and the big demon king does not dare to sit, let alone take the emperor to sit.

"That's fine. At this last moment, let's go and see what my navy looks like. Lao Zhao was interested, he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he couldn't imagine the lineup of the navy for the time being.

In this way, he put aside the waiting diplomatic envoys of the Liao State, and took some old leaders who were in office or out of fashion, accompanied by the Great Demon King, the Empress, and the Crown Prince, and urgently boarded a special train to Dengzhou to watch the military parade of the Navy and Air Force.

Liao's diplomatic envoys were "cadres" back then, but now they are really not too important to the Great Song Dynasty.

Before the special column was issued, the Great Demon King had sent a telegram to the air force and navy to assemble in Dengzhou and temporarily hold a parade of the Supreme Commander. At the same time, the Great Demon King prayed for Lao Zhao, hoping that he could support him until he watched the parade. This is what Lao Zhao deserves, and it is righteous anger to repay the care from him back then......
