It's time to disperse, and everyone is dispersed one after another, but the staff headquarters is still busy!

The General Staff Headquarters also has to arrange specific logistics and transportation, and even coordinate the mobilization of troops and horses from the south to defend many checkpoints on the Great Wall! There was so much to do in the pre-war preparations that many people simply did not have time to rest.

Zhao Chen left the staff headquarters and hurried towards the north of the palace with a few guards.

The north side of the palace is the area of the harem, which is relatively quiet!

When passing by Taiji Palace, I saw that it was dark here, and Zhao Chen did not stop and continued to move forward.

However, just after taking a step, a dark shadow appeared in front of him, and those guards had already rushed forward immediately, and a voice came from the opposite side, "It's me!" ”

"Grandpa!" Zhao Chen was stunned!

It turned out that the person who appeared in front of him turned out to be Emperor Zhao Ji!

"You're still discussing state affairs? Grandpa can't sleep, you accompany me in to talk. Zhao Ji said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

At that moment, Zhao Chen and Zhao Ji entered the Taiji Palace, and several palace maids immediately brought the refreshments.

"Grandpa, it's already time to be a child, why haven't you fallen asleep?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"I've heard you're discussing an attack on the North, but is that about it?" Zhao Ji said.

"Yes, the imperial court has decided to fight the battle to destroy gold! Tomorrow, I will sacrifice to the heavens, swear to cut gold, and then my grandfather will go with me! Zhao Chen said.

"You're a fool!" Zhao Ji said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen was slightly stunned.

"Now that we have Yanyun and the Central Plains, and we have restored our former homeland, why do we still want to cut gold? If this battle is won, it's fine, but if it fails, I'm afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger again! Zhao Ji said.

"There is no way to lose this battle! The army of the imperial court is a division of a hundred battles, and the generals who lead the army such as Yue Fei, Li Xianzhong, Wu Jue, Liu Qi, Han Shizhong and others can be called a generation of famous generals! The strength of our army even exceeds the population of the Jurchens, how can we lose this battle? Zhao Chen said.

"Chen'er, what we have to do now is to negotiate peace with the Jurchens! After we negotiate peace with the Jurchens, just like we negotiated peace with the Liao State, and there will be no more war between the two sides after that, wouldn't it be good? Zhao Ji said.

"We make peace with the Jurchens? Hum! Now that the Jurchens are inferior to us, they should agree! But in the future, when the Jurchens become stronger, they will definitely go south again! Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Chen'er, you have to understand that although the country is strong, if it is warlike, it will die!" Zhao Ji said.

"Is it good to fight and to die? If it is a reckless army, the consumption of people's power and national strength, it may indeed lead to the destruction of the country, such as Emperor Yang of Sui, who conscripted millions of people to build the Grand Canal, and then conquered Goryeo several times, the people are not happy, and the gate valve is extremely powerful, which leads to chaos in the world, but the current situation is not to say that the army is reckless! What's more, in addition to the fact that although the country is strong and belligerent, it will perish, and there is also the saying that although the world forgets to fight, it is dangerous! The Jurchens are eyeing me, their strength is far inferior to ours, but Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongbi and others are still bent on invading my China! Now the morale of our army is flourishing, if we wait for more than ten years or decades, our army may not have the same morale as it is now! Now is the perfect time to perish! Zhao Chen said.

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, if you do this, how many people will die in the world?" Zhao Ji said.

"In the future, when the Jurchens are strong and continue to go south, more of us will die! Seven years ago, when the Jurchens went south, we had already killed almost 20 million people, and I must not see anything like this happening in the future! In my lifetime, I will definitely smooth out the surroundings, so that my Great Song Dynasty will have no boundless trouble! Zhao Chen said.

"Chen'er, life is already very good now, why aren't you satisfied?" Zhao Ji frowned and said.

"It's not that I'm not satisfied, but Da Song can't be satisfied! If any country is content with the status quo and does not want to forge ahead, it is only afraid that it will be a sign of destruction! Zhao Chen said lightly.

"What if you have three longs and two shorts?" Zhao Ji said.

"Although I am personally on the expedition, I will not personally participate in the battle! Millions of soldiers have forgotten their lives and deaths, and they are not afraid, how can I have fear after the army? Zhao Chen said.

"Hey, why are you so stubborn and don't listen to me?" Zhao Ji said.

"Grandpa, you're just afraid that you're not good at governing the country! If you were good at governing the country, there would be no shame of Jingkang back then! Zhao Chen snorted coldly and said.

"Uh......" Zhao Ji stayed there.

"Grandpa rest as soon as possible, sacrifice to the sky tomorrow, if grandpa is willing to go, then go, if you don't want to go, then stay in the Taiji Palace!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

He stood up and headed outside!

The whole court advocated the war against Jin! The invasion of the Jin Kingdom into the Great Song Dynasty brought endless harm and shame to the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, not only in the imperial court, but also the people of the world hoped that the army would go north to destroy the Jin, but Zhao Ji was bent on asking for peace! For Zhao Ji, Zhao Chen is really helpless!

He shook his head and walked on.

Finally, back in his dormitory!

Song Qingyao and Zhe Yueru didn't fall asleep, they took off Zhao Chen's robe, and Zhao Chen sat down.

"Why don't you sleep?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Husband, you are going north to fight, and we are all very worried." Song Qingyao said.

Zhao Chen held Song Qingyao's hand and said with a smile: "I am in the army, there will be no danger!" What's more, I have also practiced martial arts since I was a child, and martial arts can also be called strong, who can hurt me? ”

"I wonder when you'll be back?" Song Qingyao said.

"At most, this battle will be over next spring, and we will be able to return to Yanjing at that time." Zhao Chen said.

Zhiyue Ru was already crying softly on the side.

"I promise you that I will take care of myself! You should also pay more attention in Yanjing City! Especially if you are already pregnant, don't worry, don't worry! The news of the war in the north will reach you! Zhao Chen said.

Song Qingyao and Zhe Yueru nodded lightly.

This night Zhao Chen stayed with his second daughter, and he was also a little sad in his heart, every time he parted......

******

Early in the morning of the second day, when the sky was dark, all the civil and military ministers of the imperial court came to the palace, and countless subordinates and officers of the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Headquarters had also gathered.

When the sun had just risen and the red light shone on the earth, Zhao Chen and the others rode on their horses and headed outside!

The gates of the palace were wide open, and thousands of people galloped out of it!

Outside, thousands of guards also rode their horses to follow Zhao Chen and the others to protect everyone!

Yanjing City is generally not allowed to ride horses, but today's situation is special, the main road in Yanjing City has been closed, and the people of Yanjing City can only stand aside and watch the scene inside!

Such a scene of almost 10,000 people galloping gives people a very shocking feeling, when Zhao Chen passed, countless people around him fell to their knees, and the sound of long live was everywhere!

A quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at the location of the Temple of Heaven!

This is not the Temple of Heaven in later generations, but the place where the Khitan people once worshiped the sky, and now it has become the Temple of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty!

The Temple of Heaven was surrounded by people, and when they saw all the monarchs and ministers galloping over, the voice of Long Live resounded through the heavens and the earth for a while.

Zhao Chen led his ministers to get off their horses and head forward.

The ritual of sacrificing to the heavens was extremely complicated, and there were many rules, and after half an hour, Zhao Chen really ascended to the position where the Temple of Heaven was located.

He put the incense in his hand in the censer, knelt down there, and silence fell around him.

"I have been Prime Minister Heshan Sheji for more than seven years now! Seven years ago, the Jurchens invaded the Central Plains, and the lives of the people were miserable, and the people had to flee from the Bianjing Imperial Palace! On that day, I vowed to restore the Central Plains one day, so that the people of the world would no longer suffer from the calamity of the Jurchens! ”

"Now that the Central Plains and Yanyun have been restored, the Jurchens still occupy the northern and Liaodong garrisons, and they are eyeing my Great Song Dynasty!"

"The Tartars may go south at any time, rather than this, it is better for our army to go north and completely destroy the Jurchens!"

"Our army was formed when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and the officers and men in the army experienced thousands of battles and battles, and now the army is one million and there are thousands of generals! Since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty by the ancestors, the army has never won today! Today, I am here to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, and I hope that the ancestors of heaven and earth will protect me! Soon after, I was the emperor and personally marched, leading millions of soldiers to sacrifice their lives to fight to the death, and the winter army was going to join Zhongjing, and then the troops came to Beijing and Tokyo, and finally they would go straight to Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion, capture the enemy chieftain, and eliminate the trouble of the Jurchens! ”

Zhao Chenlang said.

Countless ministers and people below were listening quietly.

"Come on, get the wine!" Zhao Chen shouted violently.

At that moment, someone brought a bowl of wine, Zhao Chen spilled the wine in front of him, and then bowed respectfully, and then stood up.

"Get another drink!" Zhao Chen said again.

This time, it was the ministers of the court, and I hoped that the ministers of the court and the central government would be conscientious and not neglect state affairs, and then there were many generals of the General Staff Headquarters.

In the early morning of that day, the sound of cheers was everywhere in Yanjing City, and the entire Yanjing City knew that the imperial court was about to destroy Jin in the north!

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Chen led thousands of imperial soldiers to the north towards Juyong Pass.
