Zhu Wu's two serial "sycophants" were exactly slapped on the emperor's heart, the emperor was extremely happy, and after this incident, the emperor's view of Zhu Wu finally came to a complete 180-degree change, in his eyes, Zhu Wu is no longer a vulgar folk reckless, but a full of poetry and books, well-versed in affairs, both civil and military "Jianghu chivalry", more importantly, Zhu Wu is still very loyal, at least he seems to be very loyal on the surface, the emperor has almost believed, just to calm Jingdong Road, And after giving Zhu Wu a very generous reward and the guarantee of his life, Zhu Wu will definitely return Jingdong Road, and when the time comes, the world will be able to repeat the peace, and then wait for the recovery of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures as planned, then a prosperous era comparable to the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties is coming! He will also leave a name in history, which can be called the emperor of the ages!

At the same time, the emperor also instructed Zhao Kai in public to learn more from your brother-in-law how to march and fight after arriving at Jingdong Road.

Zhao Kai could only claim yes in embarrassment, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, but at the same time, he couldn't help but start to be jealous of the prince, obviously he had been dominating, but why did God give someone like Zhu Wu to the prince for nothing? If it weren't for Zhu Wu, he would have ...... by now.

Blame him for it all! Zhao Kai looked at Tong Guan coldly, only to see that Tong Guan's head was never raised again, he just lowered his head to eat and taste wine, and at first glance he was avoiding his gaze.

The dinner soon came to an end, and the last topic was to agree on a specific time for the start of the war, and the emperor had already decided on this matter, and one of the main purposes of this dinner was to inform Zhu Wu of this result in advance, so as to prevent him from finding an excuse not to listen to the command after returning to the southeast, but because of what happened just now, the emperor suddenly changed his mind, and he didn't want to destroy the current harmonious relationship between the monarch and the minister, so he decided to listen to Zhu Wu's opinion.

"Zhu Aiqing, do you think this battle should be suitable for war?" The Emperor asked,

"The minister only listens to the orders of the saint, and when the saint wants the minister to fight, the minister will fight when he wants!" Zhu Wu replied very happily!

"Hehe, you are the specific leader, and your opinion is also crucial, but it doesn't hurt to say it." The Emperor smiled,

Zhu Wu thought for a moment and then replied, "This ...... Well, the minister thinks that the sooner this battle starts, the better, and the sooner the war starts, the less time will be left for Zheng Linfeng, but now it is a cold winter, and the war at this time will be very unfavorable to the attacking side, so the minister means that we will start preparing immediately, and when we are fully prepared, we will fight in the spring next year. But before the beginning of the spring, if you don't fight, you can't just let Zheng Linfeng prepare comfortably, the minister thinks that he should immediately gather troops in the front line, and make a look of attacking at any time, so that Zheng Linfeng will have trouble sleeping and eating, and can only cheer up the spirit to defend, this morale often declines again, and the third is exhausted, the longer they wait, the greater the pressure, and the more difficult it is for morale to gather again. For this reason, the minister is willing to rush back now to start preparations, and strive to lead the army to Jingdong Road before the year and join the brother army there! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Huan and Zheng Juzhong immediately glanced at each other, although there was nothing abnormal in their faces, but they both saw deep surprise in each other's eyes, and at the same time, a big question rose in their hearts...... How did he know?!

The emperor nodded again and again when he heard this, and he was extremely satisfied with Zhu Wu! Because he and Tong Guan and the others had planned it this way, the sooner the Qishan army could go to Jingdong Road for a day, the sooner they could put their hearts back in their stomachs, but at this moment, when they heard that Zhu Wu actually took the initiative to put forward this suggestion for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor was a little embarrassed, after all, this battle was to rely on Zhu Wu to fight hard, if he was still so harsh, I was afraid that it would backfire......!

The emperor thought about it and immediately said, "Just do what Aiqing wants, but the southeast is two thousand miles away from Jingdong, and the Qishan army is mainly based on southern soldiers, which may be very unsuitable for the harsh winter in the north, I can't bear to let Aiqing and the soldiers of the Qishan Army work so hard, so let's do it, Aiqing and the soldiers of the Qishan Army will spend the New Year in the southeast and wait for the weather to warm up a little before setting off, as long as they can arrive at Jingdong Road before the beginning of spring!" ”

Zhu Wu knelt down with a grateful face on his face and said, "Thank you for your understanding, the minister is grateful on behalf of the Qishan Army!" ”

After saying this, all the purposes of the emperor's banquet were finally realized one by one, the emperor was very happy, the ministers were also very happy, Zhu Wu also immediately asked the emperor and everyone to resign, saying that it was without further ado, and he would leave Tokyo early tomorrow morning and rush back to the southeast.

The emperor happily agreed, and asked Zhang Di to immediately prepare some things that Emperor Rongde liked to eat and let Zhu Wu bring to her.

Zhu Wu knelt down to thank him, and Zhang Di immediately came to Zhu Wu and said respectfully, "Master Horse, please come with the slave." ”

Zhu Wu got up and saluted the emperor respectfully again, and then followed Zhang Di out of the hall, and after a while, the two of them stayed away from the palace banquet hall, Zhu Wu didn't listen to his footsteps and smiled softly at Zhang Di, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

Zhang Di also laughed in a low voice, "Master Ma doesn't have to be polite, please greet the princess on behalf of the slave." ”

It was dark, Zhao Kai sat listlessly in the sedan chair and only felt stunned, he suddenly lost some confidence in the trip to Jingdong, he realized that this Zhu Wu was unexpectedly "powerful", he no longer had the confidence to "play to death" Zhu Wu a few days ago, so Zhu Wu, can he fight? Especially when he thought that this person who Zhu Wu was the crown prince would definitely become a big threat to him in the future, he felt even more upset.

"Your Highness, Master Tong asks to see you in front." The sedan chair stopped suddenly, and the voice of the personal guard came from outside the sedan curtain.

Zhao Kai was even more angry when he heard Tong Guan's name, but he knew that he couldn't show it, especially at this time, he couldn't offend this powerful minister.

"Okay, let's take a look."

The sedan chair landed, Zhao Kai walked out of the sedan chair and looked forward, only to see that there was also a team of people in front, and there was a person standing on the side of the road.

Zhao Kai tried to calm his mood and walked over, Tong Guan also walked towards him, and their entourage did not follow.

"Taishi, ...... are you?" Zhao Kaiqi said,

"Your Highness, please look."

Tong Guan didn't say a word, and then took out an object from his arms and handed it to Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai was stunned and took a look, and found that it was actually a letter, he immediately pulled out the paper inside and looked at it by the moonlight, and only a moment later, his face was full of shock! "Is this ......?!"

Tong Guan put his mouth to his ear and whispered, "This is written by Zhu Wu in front of the old minister, he asked me to tell His Highness that if he is disloyal in the future, His Highness can publish this book!" ”

Zhao Kai was stunned, only to feel a dry mouth for a while, and it took a while before he came back to his senses and said, "This ...... What do you think, Taishi? ”

Tong Guan smiled slightly, "This Zhu Wu is a smart person, this time the Holy Lord unexpectedly chose His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as he is not a fool, he can see that the Holy Lord still prefers His Royal Highness, and it is not surprising that he can make this choice." It's a big deal and believe him first, anyway, we already have this thing in our hands, and he doesn't want to escape from our palms! ”

Zhao Kai held the letter in his hand and didn't know what to say......

On November 11, Zhu Wu returned to the southeast, and on that day, hundreds of officials, including the crown prince and King Yun, sent him off.
