Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yijian and the three of you, and felt a little funny.

The three of them were still worried just now, and after hearing that they had laid a back hand that was enough to change the entire battle situation, they immediately changed their faces one by one.

The three of them are now quite confident in the upcoming war outside the Zhending Mansion, and Zhao Zhen is also a lot more relieved.

He went to Zhending Mansion for half a year, and most of them lasted for years, and almost all the affairs of the government and the opposition were handed over to the three of them.

If the three of them rule the country with a sad mind, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

"Wang Aiqing, the errand with Jiaozhi borrowing soldiers will be handed over to you."

Zhao Zhen slowly opened his mouth and commanded.

Wang Zeng bowed and saluted, "......"

Zhao Zhen instructed Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai again: "Have the soldiers and horses from all over the country arrived at Zhending Mansion, and have the required grain and grass also been transported to Zhending Mansion?" ”

After the reform of the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, the mobility of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty became much stronger.

In the past, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

After the grain and grass are delivered to the place, the commander will lead the soldiers and horses to the battlefield.

Nowadays, before the commander arrives at the battlefield, the soldiers, horses, grain and grass will be the first to rush to the battlefield, and the generals will lay out a formation to resist the enemy according to the battlefield assigned by the imperial court.

When the commander arrived, he rearranged the troops according to the situation on the battlefield.

The advantage of this is that once it is invaded, the speed of the imperial court's reaction does not affect the soldiers in front of the army to keep the enemy out of the country.

In the past, when there was an invasion, it was reported to the imperial court, and when the imperial court reacted and dispatched troops and horses to the battlefield, the enemy had already captured several cities.

Nowadays, in the event of an invasion, the forbidden army fighting on the frontier will immediately clear the wall and block the enemy from the country, and the soldiers who come later will slowly join it.

It is simply impossible for the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city and seize the land.

If the enemy wants to grab land from the Great Song Dynasty, he can only fight with the Great Song Dynasty.

Cut off the possibility of some surprise attacks and sneak attacks.

Lu Yijian arched his hand and said: "Back to the official's house, Li Zhaoliang came to report that the four forbidden armies and eight local soldiers have all arrived at the battlefield of Zhending Mansion. The grain that was often closed in the eight prefectures near Zhending Mansion was also transported to Yanmen Pass and Tongtai Pass.

Now Li Zhaoliang led his troops to sit in Tongtai Pass, Wang Kai led his troops to sit in Yanmen Pass, and other soldiers and horses Chen Bing were in the border, waiting for battle. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, "It's time for me to get ready, and I'm ready to go to Zhending Mansion." ”

When Lu Yijian and the others heard this, their faces were not very good-looking.

The three of them did not approve of Zhao Zhen going to the battlefield.

The three of them looked at each other and were about to speak.

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "There are some words, don't say anything about the three Aiqing." I have made up my mind, and no one can change it. ”

Lu Yijian and the three of them looked bitter.

Zhao Zhen continued: "I will then send an order to the Tianwu Army and the Japanese Army to pull out the camp and go out tomorrow. Before I leave, I will leave a will for Chen Lin. After I left, Chen Lin would declare that will on my behalf.

During my time in Zhendingfu, who was in charge of the country and who was auxiliary to the government was written on it. ”

Lu Yijian and the three of them glanced at each other, lowered their heads with bitter faces, and agreed in unison.

After they agreed, Zhao Zhen continued: "I went north this time to fight, not for an outing, so some honor guards can be saved, and local officials don't need to mobilize people to welcome me.

Some unnecessary expenses have been cut at the same time.

Now that my Great Song Dynasty is fighting on both sides, it is the time to use money, and if I save more money, the soldiers will have more money. ”

Without waiting for Lu Yijian and the three of them to speak, Zhao Zhen took the initiative to cut more than half of his expenses for going to Zhending Mansion.

The emperor has done Zhao Zhen's part, what else can Lu Yijian and the three of them say?

can only salute respectfully and shout, "The official is wise......"

After Zhao Zhen finished talking about business, he sent Lu Yijian and the three of them down to do things, and he got up and rushed to the queen's bedroom.

When Zhao Zhen arrived at the queen's bedroom, the queen was strolling in the palace with her stomach in her hand.

The queen is clearly pregnant.

Not only the queen, but also Xiao Zhang, as well as the two newly selected beauties, are also pregnant.

In the past, someone assassinated the emperor's heir, so it was difficult for the royal heir to prosper.

In addition, because Zhao Heng and Zhao Zhen's father and son swallowed the elixir, there were even fewer heirs.

Now that Zhao Zhen is under the diagnosis and treatment of Kou Ji, erysipelas has been removed cleanly, plus he has practiced martial arts all year round, his body is strong, and he works hard at night, and the royal heirs are like crops in the field, stubble after stubble emerges.

In addition, Empress Cao gave birth to Zhao Run, and steadily occupied the title of the eldest prince, the crown prince can be expected, and the throne can be expected.

Empress Cao protected Zhao Run while suppressing the six palaces, and the concubines in the six palaces did not dare to pay attention to the imperial heirs.

Don't look at Queen Cao, who smiles at everyone on weekdays, but she is actually a ruthless person.

If there are palace ladies and concubines who break the rules of the palace, she will not be merciful.

She is not like Zhao Zhen, if a palace lady or a concubine makes a mistake, she quietly ordered Chen Lin to kill the cane, and then drag it to a place where no one is buried it.

When she killed Gong'e and concubines with a cane, she would gather all the palace ladies and concubines together and come to watch the execution.

In order to have a deterrent effect, every time she asked the personal female officer to personally take action, beating the tortured palace lady and the concubine with blood stabbing Hula.

Now in the palace, except for the Empress Dowager Li, the rest of the people are afraid of her.

With her sitting in the six palaces and protecting the imperial heir, no one dares to attack the imperial heir.

Zhao Zhen saw Empress Cao strolling in the palace with her belly in her hand, and hurriedly stepped forward, while helping Empress Cao, while complaining: "If you are pregnant, take care of it, don't walk around, be careful of the fetal gas." ”

When Empress Cao heard Zhao Zhen's words, she was angry and funny.

She is not an ignorant woman, pregnant women are pregnant, and they still need to be more active.

If you really lie still and don't move, that's the problem.

However, she did not refute Zhao Zhen's words.

Because she listened to Zhao Zhen's words, her heart was warm.

Empress Cao saluted Zhao Zhen, and then let Zhao Zhen help her sit down.

After sitting down, Zhao Zhen first accompanied Queen Cao and said intimate words for a while.

When it was over, Zhao Zhen said without a trace, "I left the edict of canonizing Run'er as the crown prince to Chen Lin, and Chen Lin will read it after I lead the troops to the battle." ”

When Empress Cao heard this, she stared at Zhao Zhen in a daze.

Zhao Zhen smiled indifferently.

Empress Cao's face was very ugly, she got up slowly, and knelt in front of Zhao Zhen in Zhao Zhen's stunned gaze, "If the official family thinks that the concubine is a vicious woman, just give the concubine to death."

If the official family wants to demote the concubine, the concubine will not agree.

Since the concubine entered the palace, she has not done anything to be sorry for the official family.

The name of the queen, the concubines deserve it.

The concubine was unwilling to be abolished, and she was even more reluctant to let Run'er recognize her as the eldest lady. ”

The girl who came out of the door is hard.

If you were someone else, you wouldn't dare to say this in front of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen listened to Queen Cao's words in a daze, and stepped forward to help Queen Cao with tears and laughter, "Why did the queen say this?" ”

Empress Cao said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "My sisters are all pregnant, and the official family is making Run'er the crown prince at this time, isn't it just to warn the concubines not to have any crooked thoughts?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's not what I meant. I went to Zhending Mansion here, at least for half a year, and more for years. There must be a royal person in the court to supervise the country.

I can't just let my own emperor go outside and invite a clan to come back, right?

Besides, Run'er is my eldest son.

He was appointed crown prince, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would approve of it.

He became the crown prince, which can be said to be the expectation of everyone. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen said with some emotion: "My Zhao family's country has always been not peaceful. I hope that from here on, my wife can pass it on peacefully, and there will not be so many waves. ”

Empress Cao said in a deep voice: "The concubine blamed the official family, and the concubine made amends to the official family." ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and did not speak.

Empress Cao continued: "But the official family has now established Run'er as the crown prince, and the concubines will not agree. ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Empress Cao with a stunned expression.

Empress Cao Zhengse said: "Run'er is the eldest son of the official family, and if you want to be the prince, you have to do it uprightly." If the official family wants to appoint a prince, they should read the edict in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

That's what makes it right.

What's more, before the official family goes to Zhending Mansion, it is inevitable that there will be some bad luck when they set up the crown prince.

Therefore, the concubine hopes that the official family can change Run'er to be the king, and after the official family returns to the dynasty from the Zhending Mansion, it will not be too late to establish Run'er as the crown prince. ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Queen Cao with a shocked expression, "Others are afraid that they won't be able to grab it, but you shirk it?" ”

Empress Cao said solemnly: "The concubine is not a prevarication. The concubine just felt that since the official family hoped that my Great Song Jiangshan could be passed on to the wife peacefully, then he should be a prince in a dignified manner.

It shouldn't be so rushed. ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Hearing you say this, I realized that it was indeed a bit hasty. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "That's it, I will change Run'er to be the king." After returning to the dynasty, he will be appointed as the crown prince. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen hesitated a little, "It's just that the prince is in charge of the country, will it be a little too thin?" ”

Empress Cao had no words.

Zhao Zhen asked, "Why didn't you say it?" ”

Empress Cao said frankly: "Run'er was born to a concubine, whether Run'er is made the crown prince, the concubine can still say a few words." But the matter of the prison country, the concubines did not dare to speak falsely.

The concubines always remember the official family's sentence that 'the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics'. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he nodded slowly, and didn't ask Empress Cao anything more.

He is well aware of the harm of interfering in politics in the harem, so he has set the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is impossible for him to break his own rules.

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "If you can't suppress the hundred officials, then find someone to help the town." ”

When Zhao Zhen said this, he didn't say anything further, and Queen Cao didn't ask.

Zhao Zhen stayed at Empress Cao's place for the night.

Following.

After getting up, Zhao Zhen went to several other pregnant concubines to take a look.

Then under the service of Queen Cao, he put on a very sassy armor, equipped with a sword, and took 800 royal dragons and 1,000 royal forest guards, and went out of the palace under the escort of Queen Cao.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai led the Manchu civil and military forces to wait at the gate of the palace.

Some of these officials will stay in Bianjing City and govern the country with Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai, and some officials will follow Zhao Zhen to the north.

Zhao Zhen left the palace without words, and led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military out of Bianjing.

Outside Bianjing.

The Tianwu Army, the Japanese Army, and 60,000 soldiers gathered in one place.

After Zhao Zhen arrived, they bowed down in unison to salute, the scene was very spectacular, and the onlookers looked excited one by one.

Zhao Zhen nodded and announced the teacher's text.

led 60,000 soldiers to leave Bianjing City.

The departure of 60,000 soldiers from Beijing is different from the past.

There was no huge baggage team behind him.

There was only a small amount of armament baggage.

After the reform of the imperial military system, the soldiers and horses in various places not only had the duty of arresting and catching thieves, but also had the duty of guarding the regular liquidation.

When the imperial court sent troops, it would assign a series of tasks to supply grain and grass to each place according to the grain stock in the Changping warehouse.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court crossed the border, and at each post station, the local officials had to transport the grain and grass they needed to the post station.

How much grain and grass was consumed and how much grain and grass was taken away will be checked by the household departments and military departments in the various households and courts.

In addition, in order to avoid some local corrupt elements, they resold the grain and grass that were often closed, resulting in no supply of grain and grass for the army.

Before the expedition, the imperial court would send eight groups of officials to supervise grain along the way.

Those who have no food should step up the adjustment of grain, and those who have food should be repeatedly admonished.

Many people feel that the imperial court's move is too troublesome, and it is not as easy as before to directly bring the baggage into battle.

But Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai and other people who really controlled the power of the Great Song Dynasty did not feel troublesome.

Because it is not much distance for local officials to transport Changping grain to the post station, and there is not much consumption.

There are many officials used along the way, but few people are used.

The imperial court did not need to recruit too many people for this.

You must know that in the past, every time the imperial court fought a big war, it had to prepare at least the same number of people, and sometimes twice as many people.

The people did not have to pay for the conscription, but they had to provide three meals a day.

As long as the court fights, the people have to follow for as long as they want.

After a war is fought, the people may consume more grain and grass than soldiers and horses.

After the matter was distributed to the locality, the imperial court only needed to take care of the food for the people of one locality.

The people's and financial resources saved in the middle are a huge number.

Zhao Zhen left Bianjing City with people in a chic manner.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai returned to the palace with a bitter face and a hundred civil and military officials.

Before leaving, Zhao Zhen reminded them that he had left an important will.

After Lu Yijian and the three of them entered the palace with hundreds of officials, Chen Lin was already waiting in the vertical arch hall, and when he saw Lu Yijian and the three of them, he was not polite, "Three, our family has been waiting for the three of them for more than a long time."

Our family still wants to finish announcing the will as soon as possible and ride a fast horse to chase the official's house. ”

Lu Yijian and the three of them stared at Chen Lin.

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "You can't do anything, run away with the official family immediately." The 500,000 soldiers and horses who went to Zhending Mansion are gone, and the three old men will not say anything. If the official family loses a single hair, the three old men will fight for their lives, and they will also pick your skin. ”

Two stoppers and two yong, 200,000 soldiers and horses, eight local soldiers, about 240,000, Zhao Zhen himself led 60,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 500,000 soldiers and horses.

The life and death of 500,000 soldiers and horses, Lu Yijian didn't care at all.

Because in Lu Yijian's heart, 500,000 soldiers and horses are not as important as Zhao Zhen alone to the Great Song Dynasty.

Chen Lin nodded solemnly and said, "Our family knows the importance ......."

Although Zhao Zhen once made bold promises in front of Chen Lin, but when he really encountered danger, Chen Lin dared to disrespect the decree and save him first.

Seeing that Chen Lin nodded and agreed to protect Zhao Zhen's safety, Lu Yijian's face immediately softened a little.

"Proclaim the decree......"

The king had commanded.

Lu Yijian and the three of them led the hundred officials to stand in shifts, and Chen Lin took the will and walked to the hall.

"The edict said...... Zhao Run, the eldest prince of Jin, is the king of Shou...... From now on, the administration of the State will be supervised ......"

"The edict said...... Jia Taishi Kou Zhun is the chief regent......"

"The system said...... With the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Shi Lu Yijian, the Governor Wang Zeng, the Governor Lu Yijian three people, auxiliary political ......"

“……”

There are three decrees.

The decrees with different meanings have different specifications, and the seals stamped are also different.

Zhao Zhen canonized Zhao Run as the king of Shou and ordered him to supervise the country, and in order to increase the weight of his prison country, he once again used Kou Zhun as the chief regent.

It's just that in the will to enable Kou Zhun, there is no mention of allowing Kou to enter the palace to participate in politics.

In other words, Kou Zhun's identity as the chief regent is only used for deterrence.

Lu Yijian's three auxiliary politicians are reasonable.

It's just that after Chen Lin read out the holy decree, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fluctuated a little.

It's not that they have any complaints about Zhao Zhen's reactivation of Kou Zhun.

It's that they didn't canonize Zhao Zhen as the crown prince, and they have some complaints.

Lu Yijian and the three of them also thought so in their hearts.

Seeing this, Chen Lin said more, "The official family previously intended to crown King Shou as the crown prince, but after the queen's admonition, the idea was dispelled. The queen said that the crown prince is the prince of a country, and even if he wants to be established, he must be upright.

Rather than making a hasty decision. ”

"The queen was reckless ......"

Someone muttered quietly, shook his head, and sighed.

It seems that Empress Cao has done something stupid.

But Lu Yijian and the three of them looked stunned, and glanced at each other, their eyes full of consternation.

Others thought that Empress Cao was reckless, but Lu Yijian and the three of them felt that Empress Cao was really powerful.

The crown prince is easy to stand, but it is difficult to sit.

Especially when the official family is out on the expedition, the position of the crown prince is even more difficult to sit.

If the official family suffers a defeat outside, and someone takes advantage of the situation to spread some demonic wind, and some people maliciously push the crown prince to the throne, the official family will return to the court, and the crown prince will be cold.

In addition, there are now four pregnant people in the palace.

If the official family is in Bianjing, it is nothing.

If the official family is not in Bianjing City, in addition to Queen Cao, if there is any accident among the other three pregnant concubines, whether it was Queen Cao or not, Queen Cao will be to blame.

She is the lord of the six houses, and if something goes wrong in the six houses, she can't escape responsibility.

If it was because of her fault, Zhao Run was implicated.

Zhao Run was made the crown prince, and he would also be dismissed.

Once the crown prince is deposed, it is more difficult to reinstate it than to ascend to the sky.

King Shou is different, he was dismissed and dismissed, and it will not affect the future prince at all.

The official family rewarded his son with a prince, but didn't he just give it if he wanted to, and accept it if he wanted to, as if he was joking?

The prince and the crown prince represent completely different meanings in the court.

At this time, being promoted to King Shou was far more powerful to Zhao Run than being promoted to the crown prince.

As long as he is not promoted to crown prince, he will not be targeted like a target.

Anyway, his origin has been decided, as long as he doesn't make a mistake, if Zhao Zhen wants to make the crown prince, the first choice must be him.

So there is no need for him to rush it.

Thinking about it in the long run, Zhao Zhen is now strong, and it is not a good thing to be the crown prince now.

There are countless examples in the history books that prove that the crown prince who was established when the emperor was strong did not succeed smoothly to the throne.

In short, Zhao Run is now the crown prince, which is extremely unfavorable to him.

After Zhao Run spoke out, all the three of Lu Yijian never mentioned the matter of establishing a prince to Zhao Zhen.

It's not that the three of them are ready to wait for Zhao Zhen to have more heirs before choosing, but they feel that Zhao Run has an absolute innate advantage, and there is no need to rush for a while.

The first two crown princes established during the Taizong period, what happened to them, everyone in the government and the opposition knows.

The three of them did not like Zhao Run's footsteps in the footsteps of the two crown princes during the Taizong period, and they hoped that Zhao Run could peacefully implement the primogeniture inheritance system and set an example for future generations.

In this way, there will be less waves on the issue of succession to the throne after the Great Song Dynasty.

They were to protect Zhao Run, so they never mentioned the canonization of the crown prince to Zhao Zhen.

Now Empress Cao stopped Zhao Zhen when she wanted to canonize Zhao Run as the crown prince, which shows that Empress Cao has similar thoughts to them.

They naturally felt that Empress Cao was powerful.

For the position of the crown prince, when it is time to fight, it is natural to fight.

When you shouldn't fight, you can't fight.

Lu Yijian and the three of them admired Empress Cao's power in their hearts, and their eyes were on the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and they saw that their hearts were fluctuating.

Lu Yijian spoke slowly, "The queen's move is very wise. It's just that some fools in the court, I'm afraid they can't see the deep meaning clearly, and maybe they will have the idea of supporting other princes. ”

Wang Zeng said disdainfully: "Then the concubines of the harem can give birth to a second prince." ”

Zhang Zhibai said faintly on the side: "There are four nobles in the palace who are pregnant with dragon seeds, if there is no prince, it is God without eyes." ”

Wang Zeng's face became unsightly for a moment.

Zhang Zhibai was right.

There are four nobles in the palace who are pregnant with the dragon seed together, and the probability of leaving the prince is very high.

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "It's okay, as long as King Shou doesn't mess around, and the three old men escort him, he will definitely sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince." ”

Wang Zeng nodded solemnly, "With Empress Cao staring, he won't mess around." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zeng paused, "Speaking of which, what about Empress Cao and King Shou?" The official family canonized the eldest son of the emperor as King Shou, he should come here. ”

Wang Zeng looked at Chen Lin with a puzzled face.

Chen Lin said in a low voice: "Empress Cao and King Shou went to the Wenchang Academy......"

Wang Zeng was stunned, "Go to Wenchang Academy?" Is it please?! ”

"It's not Kou Zhun!"

Lu Yijian had already cried out.

Wang Zeng also glared slowly, "They...... They mother and son go...... Went to invite Cao Wei?! ”

Zhang Zhibai said in shock: "The queen is really ...... Terrible!! ”
