On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the Jin people confirmed that the eastern and western two armies of the Northern Expeditionary Army had all retreated for 100 miles, and after withdrawing to Qixian and Tongxu, they immediately began to prepare for evacuation.

On the nineteenth day of the lunar month, hundreds of thousands of Jin troops were divided into front, middle and rear armies, and withdrew from Bianjing successively.

Behind them were countless convoys of grain, grass, baggage, and boxes, and it was impossible to know what was inside.

The convoy was followed by the fleeing Jin, men, women, and children, numbering as many as 10,000 people, who left with countless belongings, and the carriages were full of wagons, leaving deep ruts on the ground.

These people are not Han Chinese, and according to the previous agreement, Chen Kangbo, the superintendent of the Great Song Dynasty, did not stop them.

On the afternoon of the 21st day of the lunar month, the last Jin army in Bianjing City withdrew from the city and rushed westward, and Chen Kangbo led the army to take over Bianjing and occupy various important places.

That night, the news of the withdrawal of all the Jin people reached Qixian and Tongxu, and Li Xianzhong and Wu Gong each set off with 20,000 elite soldiers overnight and rushed to Bianjing.

On the second day, Li Xianzhong and Wu Gong rushed to Bianjing City, each of them sent 10,000 troops into the city, obeying Chen Kangbo's dispatch, and the rest of the army was on standby outside the city.

After three days of repeated searches by the Northern Expeditionary Army, inch by inch, Chen Kangbo confirmed that the Jin people did not do anything in Bianjing City, and that the city was safe and controllable, and only then did he send someone to return to the Defu.

On the 27th of the lunar month, Zhao Yan rushed to Bianjing together with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Outside Bianjing City, a high platform was built, and Zhao Yan and hundreds of civil and military officials held a grand ceremony to comfort their ancestors.

Then the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers entered Bianjing City from the east gate, and the lights in the city were colorful, and there was a celebration.

Coming to the palace and sitting on the throne where the gold lord Wan Yan Liang had sat for a few days, Zhao Yan was very excited in his heart, and immediately announced that he would be amnesty to the world!

100,000 officials give money and 100 horses of silk!

The people north of the Huai River will be exempted from taxation for three years!

The soldiers of the Northern Expedition were rewarded for their merits, and the pensions for the dead and wounded were doubled!

Zhao Yan was in high spirits for a while.

After recovering Bianjing and returning to the old land, the ministers were also greatly encouraged.

But soon, the Northern Expedition victory that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty shed blood and sacrificed and worked hard to win turned into a personal beauty for Zhao Yan.

Hundreds of civil and military officials have come to the table, praising the new emperor Zhao Yan, who is eloquent and strategic, wise and martial, knows people and is good at his duties, and is worthy of the blood of Taizu!

Zhao Yan was very happy to hear it, and couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, it is almost the turn of the New Year, and it is impossible to rush back to Lin'an for the New Year, so some courtiers suggested that they celebrate the New Year in Bianjing!

Without waiting for the matter to be agreed, someone suddenly proposed, why not rebuild the capital in Bianjing, Lin'an Lin'an, after all, is not a place to live in peace for a long time, since Bianjing has been recaptured, the capital should be moved back to Bianjing.

As soon as this proposal came out, the monarch fell silent.

But whether to move the capital or not, this question has taken root in everyone's heart.

Seeing that Zhao Yan was silent, no one dared to mention it again.

Moving the capital has always been a major event, not to mention that Bianjing has been occupied by the Jin people for more than 30 years, and now it has just been recovered, and the people's will is still weak, so it is not suitable to build it rashly.

And the west of Hangu Pass is still in the hands of the Jin people, if they break the contract again and go east of Hangu Pass, then Bianjing is in danger.

Also, Lin'an, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, was built by Emperor Zhao Gou, and now he is in good spirits and in good health. Would he like to come?

Although Bianjing has a prosperous and beautiful dream, it also has a nightmare that will never be forgotten, and it is likely that coming back will only increase the sadness.

Since then, no one has mentioned the matter of moving the capital to Bianjing.

Junchen lingered in Bianjing City, which was no longer prosperous, and the streets and alleys were everywhere, as if they were looking for some beautiful things in their memories.

At the same time, Wu Gong's Northern Expeditionary Army entered Luoyang and blocked the passage of the Jin people from Hangu Guandong, Li Xianzhong divided his troops to garrison Zhengzhou, Xingrenfu, Guide and Bianjing, and Yang Congyi's Northern Expeditionary Army retreated to Daimyofu.

On the last day of the second year of Longxing, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty was without a fight.

In the third year of Longxing, on the tenth day of the first month, Zhao Yan left Bianjing with hundreds of civil and military officials, traveled east to Xingren Mansion, condoled the officials and people who were attached, and rewarded them greatly.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Yan took hundreds of officials from Xingren Mansion to the north, crossed the Yellow River, and prepared to go to the Daimyo's Mansion to comfort the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

As a result, when they traveled to the vicinity of Lanzhou, the Great Song Dynasty heard a shocking news.

On the twelfth day of the first month, Emperor Zhao constructed Deshou Palace and summoned the officials of various ministries and officials who stayed in Lin'an to discuss matters in Daqing Palace!

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and it exploded in the hearts of Zhao Yan, Chen Kangbo, Shi Hao and other monarchs and ministers, as well as civil and military officials, and everyone immediately panicked.

Da Song is going to be messed up!

It's going to be a change!

It's the voice of every human being.

But no one knows what happened in Lin'an, and the person who came to deliver the news was not a herald, let alone an official, but just a subordinate of a courtier's family.

It is impossible to tell whether the news is true or false.

The condolence procession immediately stopped moving forward and turned around and returned to Xingren Mansion.

At the same time, send someone Pegasus back to Lin'an to investigate the news.

Zhao Yan and Baiguan spent eight days in panic.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the exact news was sent back to Xingren Mansion: Emperor Taishang Zhao Gou began on the twelfth day of the first month, and convened the officials of the various ministries who stayed in Lin'an in the Daqing Hall for five consecutive days, and summoned the old ministers to discuss in the Xuande Hall and the Chongzheng Palace!

The news is exact, what is the Emperor Taishang trying to do?

What Zhao Gou was going to do, Zhao Yan and Baiguan knew very well in their hearts, but they didn't understand why Zhao Gou did this.

If it is really as everyone thinks, since then, where is Zhao Construct the emperor Zhao Yan, and where is the civil and military officials?

Xingren Mansion is thousands of miles away from Lin'an, and what happened there is not clear to everyone, Lin'an has not sent any officials to the camp, nor has there been any letter from the imperial court.

It is not a way to go down in Xingren Mansion at all, but the matter of Emperor Zhao Yan and Emperor Taishang Zhao Gou is the royal family's own family matter, and no one can get involved.

But at this time, he had just negotiated peace with the Jin State, and if it was rumored that there was a huge change within the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the Jin State would tear up the peace agreement in the blink of an eye and restart the war.

A royal family affair is also a state affair!

Chen Kangbo, as the prime minister, went through two dynasties, and strongly advocated the Northern Expedition of Jin, and the Great Song Dynasty had today's results.

The ministers discussed in private, and the ministers' hearts were already unstable, if they continued to drag on like this, the results they had won so hard would be in vain in a blink of an eye.

After being silent for many days, Chen Kangbo took the initiative to ask to see Zhao Yan and proposed to convene a hundred civil and military officials to discuss the matter, not to discuss other matters, but to discuss the matter of the Emperor Taishang's entry into the Daqing Palace!

After not seeing him for a few days, Zhao Yan's spirit was completely lost, his face was dull, his eyes were godless, and the vitality of the past no longer existed.

Hearing Chen Kangbo's proposal, Zhao Yan was silent for a long time, and then said: "Father's affairs, don't discuss it." ”

With just one word, Chen Kangbo was speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister's words, this is a matter of the world, and it should be discussed by the people of the world!"

Chen Kangbo's eyes were extremely sad, and in a few days, he seemed to be a few years older.

Over the years, he has been arguing with the Lord and the faction every day in the court, fighting war of words, and it seems that he will never get tired, but now he feels tired.

"No, the matter of my father cannot be discussed. Since ancient times, only the father discusses the son, and how can there be a son who discusses the father. Go back. ”

Although Zhao Yan couldn't understand why this happened suddenly, the etiquette told him that he couldn't discuss his father with his son, so as not to tell the truth, and no one has made it clear what happened in Lin'an.

Chen Kangbo retreated.

The situation that Da Song is facing now requires him, the prime minister, to do something.

Xingren Mansion and Lin'an do not communicate with each other, and they do not send people to communicate with each other, so they must not wait and see for a long time, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will be torn apart.

Although the Northern Expedition was successful, the three major generals of the Northern Expedition, Li Xianzhong, Wu Gong, and Yang Congyi, all had heavy troops at this time, and almost all the troops of the Great Song Dynasty in Jianghuai and Jingxiang were all very close, plus the three of them were very close to the Xingren Mansion where Zhao Yan was.

Li Xianzhong has been loyal and brave all his life, and he will not have two hearts, but he is an old general of the previous dynasty, and now he is loyal to Emperor Lin'an or Emperor Zhao Yan, I am afraid only he knows.

Wu Gong has been in the northwest before, and he has only been transferred to Xiangyang in recent years, and he is also an old general of the former dynasty, but he is far away from Lin'an, and he should only be loyal to the imperial court, and he will not choose a side, and his uncle is still in the northwest, and he will not be allowed to choose a side easily, so Wu Gong is very likely to stand still and wait for the orthodoxy to be separated, and then listen to the orders of the imperial court.

Yang Congyi's identity is a mystery, the background is mysterious, from the Hui Yi is making the army to settle in Guazhoudu, which is suspicious, plus he has the background of serving in the front of the palace, and has presided over the big school review and the selection of generals, at that time, the momentum was huge, I am afraid that he was preparing for fame, but unfortunately because the forces led by Qin Hui were too strong at that time, they fell short, and they had to go to a small place on the southeast coast to hide.

After reading a large amount of information about Yang Congyi collected by Yan Liang, Chen Kangbo figured out that Yang Congyi's backer in the court was very likely to be Yang Cunzhong, but he still had doubts, with Yang Cunzhong alone, it was impossible to support him to get to the present, and there must be someone else behind him to help.

Let's not talk about whether there is help from others, just by virtue of the relationship between Yang Congyi and Yang Cunzhong, Yang Congyi, who holds the army, must be on guard first, because Yang Cunzhong did not come to Bianjing this time, and he is the absolute confidant of the Emperor Taishang, this time the Emperor Taishang re-entered the Daqing Palace, I am afraid that it will be inseparable from him, so the soldiers in Yang Congyi's hands will be very dangerous to Zhao Yan!

But if you rashly seize the military power in the hands of Li Xianzhong and Yang Congyi at this time, the army will immediately be in chaos, and if the Jin people learn the news, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger!

For today's plan, I am afraid that the only way to quickly find out the delicate relationship between Zhao Yan and Emperor Zhao Gou is to find out.

On the same day, Chen Kangbo convened a meeting of civil and military officials in the name of the prime minister, and there was only one theme, whether to return to Lin'an or stay in Xingren Mansion!

The result is obvious, go and stay in half.

Most of the people who want to stay are those who have been reactivated by Zhao Yan in the past two years, who have been suppressed by Qin Hui and others before, and those who have been promoted and reused in the past two years.

And those who want to return to Lin'an are almost all the people who are the Lord and the faction, and they are not treated by Zhao Yan.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, Chen Kangbo led a group of officials who wanted to return to Lin'an to leave Xingren Mansion and return to Lin'an.

As the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he is related to the fate of the Great Song Dynasty and the people of the world, and he must do it!
