Chapter 449: Unhappy Conversation

100,000 soldiers shouted "Long live" together, all the soldiers raised their right hands and saluted to the south, all eyes looked at the direction of the arrival of the southern cavalry, and countless people had fanaticism in their eyes!

Banzai's voice was a little chaotic at first, but after a while, the voice of Banzai joined together, and it seemed that the heavens and the earth were shaking!

Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and the others stood there, and they actually felt an indescribable horror in their hearts! This is the horror of a single person's fanatical enthusiasm in the face of 100,000 people, and in front of these 100,000 crazy screaming soldiers, they have an indescribable sense of insignificance in their hearts!

At this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly had an illusion - all the way from Wuguo City to Shanhaiguan, he always felt that his grandson was very young, and it was impossible to master the government and the army, at this moment he felt that it was a big mistake, it was not the case at all!

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

"When I left Kaifeng, Your Majesty was only ten years old, and now I should be a child!"

"His Majesty was only the crown prince back then, and in my heart, he is still just the crown prince!"

The ministers behind him were muttering, but the voices around him were too loud for them to hear.

Zhao Chen rode on the horse, and kept moving forward, he looked at the soldiers around him, and kept returning the military salute.

Finally, he came to Zhao Ji and the others.

He stopped, and the sound of hooray around him finally stopped.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Qi stepped forward and saluted.

"General Liu, are they the ones who came from the Jin Kingdom?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang is among them." Liu Qi said softly.

Zhao Chen got off the horse, and Yu Yunwen and others in the back also got off the horse.

Zhao Chen stared at the old man in yellow in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes! When he was in Kaifeng Palace, he only saw Zhao Ji a few times! When the Jin soldiers invaded for the first time, Zhao Ji was terrified, so he passed the throne to his eldest son Zhao Huan, and then the Jin soldiers retreated, and Zhao Ji returned to Kaifeng, but Zhao Huan was under house arrest, so it was difficult for Zhao Chen to see Zhao Ji at that time!

At this moment, Zhao Chen carefully identified that the old man in front of him still had the shadow of Zhao Ji back then, but he was much older than Zhao Ji back then! At that time, Zhao Ji was only in his forties, and now he has been in Xuanwu for seven years, and after a few years, Zhao Ji has become like an old man in his sixties.

"My grandson has seen the emperor's grandfather!" Zhao Chen finally bent down and saluted.

Zhao Chen is looking at Zhao Ji and identifying Zhao Ji, in fact, Zhao Ji and others are also looking at Zhao Chen!

In their opinion, Zhao Chen and Zhao Huan are seven points similar, but Zhao Chen has an indescribable heroic spirit compared to Zhao Huan! Zhao Chen stood there, and everywhere he looked, they couldn't help but bow their heads, and a sense of horror welled up in the hearts of those ministers.

Zhao Chen left Kaifeng at the age of ten, and then rebuilt the country in the ruins, commanded thousands of troops and horses to conquer the Central Plains, and set up a military aircraft department.

In general, only the founding kings had such a temperament! Although Zhao Chen is not the founding king, he is the founder of the Great Song Dynasty, the war is endless, and the system is rebuilt, everything is no different from the founding king.

At this moment, even Zhao Ji was a little shocked in his heart!

Zhao Ji once saw Wanyan Wu begging, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but Wanyan Wu begging did not have the compelling temperament on Zhao Chen's body, almost to make everyone look up! Even in the Jin Kingdom, it is impossible for Wanyan Wu to beg for purchase to be as accurate as Zhao Chen.

"Are you Chen'er?" Zhao Ji said.

"It's the child." Zhao Chen nodded and said with a smile.

The ministers behind reacted at this moment and knelt in the heavy snow one after another.

"Grandpa, it's snowing so hard, why are you outside? Let's go, let's go to Shanhaiguan! Liu Qi, let the soldiers continue to train! Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Liu Qi hurriedly agreed.

Zhao Chen helped Zhao Ji towards Shanhaiguan, and he was surprised to see that Zhao Ji was still holding a three- or four-year-old child in his hand. Yu Yunwen, who was behind, walked up, picked up Zhao Xun, and walked forward together.

After entering the Shanhaiguan, they came to the hall of the Shanhaiguan Yamen, where the soldiers had already built a stove and everyone sat down together.

Zhao Ji is the emperor, so he naturally sits in the middle position. He sat down with a swagger, without the slightest look of embarrassment on his face, not at all like a seventeen-year-old boy.

Zhao Ji, Ge Bing, Liu Shikai and others sat on the left, and Yu Yunwen, Liu Qi and others sat on the right.

Yu Yunwen, Liu Qi and others occasionally looked at Zhao Chen with respect in their eyes, and those ordinary soldiers were naturally even more so.

At this moment, Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and the others finally knew that they were wrong! Zhao Chen is indeed the master of the imperial court, the master of the Great Song Dynasty, and the master of the army, Zhao Chen can completely control the country and the army!

******

"Grandpa, who is this kid?" Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Xun and said with a smile.

At this moment, Zhao Xun was already in Zhao Chen's arms, and Zhao Xun was looking at Zhao Chen curiously.

"This is the youngest son born to Emperor Jingkang in the north, and his name is Zhao Xun." Zhao Ji said.

"Oh!" Zhao Chen was really a little surprised at this time.

At that moment, Zhao Chen stood up from his seat, he came to Zhao Ji's side, and held Zhao Xun in his arms. Zhao Xun was very well-behaved and did not struggle.

Zhao Chen looked at him carefully and found that he was somewhat similar to his father and himself, and Zhao Chen couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect my father to give birth to a prince in the Northland, congratulations to my father!" Zhao Chen hugged Zhao Xun and sat down again, laughing.

"Emperor, I heard from the Jurchens in the Five Kingdoms City that you don't have an heir yet, so I brought Xun'er back with me when I came back! In the future, if you have a case, Xun'er can also inherit the throne. Zhao Ji thought about it and said.

"Oh? The news of the Jurchens is a little backward, grandpa, last winter, there was already an imperial concubine who gave birth to a prince, so there is no need for grandpa to worry about this matter. Zhao Chen smiled and said.

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, with a look of loss on his face.

He originally thought that Zhao Chen had no heirs, and he thought that it would be difficult for Zhao Chen to control the imperial court, so he would naturally manage the Great Song Dynasty for Zhao Chen after he came back! Zhao Xun grew up with him and held him in his arms since he was a child, he loved Zhao Xun very much, and he even intended to let Zhao Xun take over Zhao Chen's throne in his heart, but now everything is beyond his calculations.

Zhao Chen teased Zhao Xun there, and Zhao Ji sat there, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart! He and Zhao Chen haven't seen each other for many years, and now Zhao Chen has changed too much, he really doesn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, there is no kneeling in the army of this Shanhaiguan, what is going on?" Ge Bing spoke at this moment.

"It was I who abolished the kneeling in the army! If the army wants to march and fight, if it kneels down at every turn, will it not delay the war? Besides, if the army wants to win the war, it can only be achieved if the soldiers are united, but the soldiers have to kneel down when they see the generals, and the low-level generals have to kneel when they see the senior generals. Zhao Chen said.

"However, when the Emperor Taishang returned, they didn't kneel when they saw the Emperor, they really deserved death, and they all had to kill the nine clans!" Ge Bing was furious.

"Oh! Even if they see me, they don't have to kneel! Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be wasted!" Ge Bing said.

"'Li' is also formulated by the predecessors, I am the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, re-formulating the 'Li', there is only a military salute in the army, why not?" Zhao Chen said.

"Even Your Majesty can't change the rules of your ancestors!" Ge Bing said.

"If the ancestral rules are good, they naturally shouldn't change! If the ancestral rules are not good, even if I shouldn't change them, someone will change them in the future! Don't talk about it anymore! Millions of soldiers in the army can accept it, why do you feel dissatisfied with the common people? Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!" Ge Bing said.

"You were captured by the Jurchens, and now you are back, but you are just a commoner!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

Ge Bing sat there in a daze, feeling weak all over! He is an old minister of the two dynasties, and he thought that he would continue to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites after his return, but now Zhao Chen actually dismissed him from his position with one sentence, and his mood can be imagined.

"Your Majesty, what Weichen saw today, the soldiers and horses in this Shanhaiguan are indeed strong! Listening to General Liu Qi, is it true that the country now has an army of one million? Liu Shikai said at this moment.

"Not bad." Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, a million army is too much!" Liu Shikai said.

"Oh? Is an army of millions a lot? When Kaifeng was still alive, there were 800,000 forbidden troops around Kaifeng alone! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, at that time it was said that there were 800,000 forbidden troops, but in fact there were only about 200,000." Liu Shikai said with a wry smile.

"Why only about 200,000?" Zhao Chen said.

"On that day, the army was seriously paid empty salaries! The state used 800,000 yuan to support 200,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, most of the money was taken away by the generals. Liu Shikai said.

Zhao Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Your Majesty, there were only about 200,000 forbidden troops that day, about 300,000 in the Western Army, and the total strength of the whole country was only 500,000! Now the army of millions is too much, and it must be cut! Moreover, as we can see today, General Liu's soldiers and horses are several times stronger than the original forbidden army and the western army, and now as long as there are 200,000 soldiers and horses, they can achieve the effect of 500,000 soldiers and horses! Therefore, it is enough to keep 200,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Shikai said.

"If the enemy is not destroyed, we will be disarmed? That's ridiculous, isn't it? Zhao Chen said in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, now that we have recovered the Central Plains and occupied Yanyun, this is a strong enemy in the world?" Liu Shikai said.

"The Jurchens have not been wiped out, and they are still the enemies of my Great Song Dynasty! Moreover, after the Jurchen exterminated the tribe, there were still other barbarians in the north, and they had to be cleared! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchen is strong, and it is really not something that my Great Song can match! We should negotiate peace with the Jurchens and strive to become a state of brothers, with the Jurchens as brothers, and I will be the brothers of the Jurchens for generations and generations to come, so that the Jurchens will not bully us, wouldn't it be good? Liu Shikai said.

"Ridiculous! I remember that you have just returned from the Jurchens, and today I will not care about your sins! Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of sin it is?" Liu Shikai was surprised.

"In the Great Song Army, if anyone dares to say that he or she will make peace with the Jurchens, there will be no forgiveness! You ask Liu Qi, is that so? Zhao Chen said.

"Ahh Liu Shikai stayed there, and Zhao Ji and others also stayed there.

"There can be no surrender doctrine in the army, and anyone who dares to seek peace will surrender and will not be killed!" Liu Qi said.

Zhao Ji, Ge Bing, Liu Shikai and others all felt ridiculous, they couldn't have imagined that Zhao Chen would be so tough! Zhao Chen actually relied on force to govern the country so much!

Zhao Ji and others felt that they had to change Zhao Chen's thoughts!
