Let's say that the day after Zhao Shu, Empress Xiansu and Song Huizong had dinner that day, Zhao Shu became anxious.

??? It was previously agreed that Zhao Shu would go to Liangshan to recruit an as a minister, but Zhao Shu was conceited that he had read "Water Margin" and did not make much preparations for Zhao'an.

??? In the early morning of the next day, when Zhao Shu woke up in a daze, he suddenly felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart, and he did not find a place. Although Song Jiang and others waited for the imperial court to recruit An, it was not easy to go to Zhao'an Liangshan.

??? Let's say that this recruitment is what Song Jiang wants. But how to win Song Jiang's trust and make him his subordinate made it difficult for Zhao Shu. Song Jiang didn't say that the generals under him were not good at stubble. And there is also a Gao Taiwei who is not compatible with Liangshan Mountain and Fire on this trip.

??? As a result, Zhao Shu's confidence in the success of this recruitment plummeted. Yes, why should others believe in you?

??? Helplessly, there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and Zhao Shu could only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor. gritted his teeth and tried to recall the plot of the imperial court's recruitment of Liangshan in the later "Water Margin".

??? Although the novel is largely apocryphal, it is not groundless. In some places, there is still a history to follow.

??? So, Zhao Shu gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and the day before Zhao'an's departure, Song Huizong's study, military department, household department, official department and Cai Jing's prime minister's mansion were running back and forth, and they were very busy.

??? It wasn't until the evening that Zhao Shu dragged his tired and embarrassed body back to his palace. When Mingyue saw Zhao Shu like this, her nose was sore, and she almost didn't cry, which really distressed her.

??? After a tired day, Zhao Shu didn't have the heart to continue talking nonsense with Mingyue. Fall into bed and go straight to sleep.

??? In the early morning of the next day, Song Huizong was still quite concerned about his son's visit to recruit An Liangshan as a minister. Personally ordered all the soldiers and horses, because of the consideration of his son's safety, Song Huizong handed over a total of 600 soldiers and horses in the Golden Gun Squad and some soldiers and horses of the Japanese Battalion in the Imperial Army guarding the palace, plus the guards guarding Zhao Shu's palace, Zhao Shu now has nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Wende Hall of the Imperial City of Bianjing of the Great Song Dynasty. For Zhao Shu's expedition, it can be said to be of great significance, so Song Huizong summoned civil and military ministers to come to practice for Zhao Shu. Because after all, Liangshan is the front line, and since Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty drove his own expedition to the Yuanyuan, there have been few deeds of the royal family coming to the front line in person, and this time Zhao Shu's actions are not only the royal family under the command of Song Huizong to go to the front line to recruit an for the imperial court, but also Zhao Shu's actions can largely alleviate the embattled predicament of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, for Zhao Shu's various requests, Song Huizong was still able to agree with his mouth. Because what Zhao Shu raised was only a question of money, and the things that could be solved with money in the Great Song Dynasty would never resort to force, so Zhao Shu's approach was also recognized by Song Huizong and the civil and military ministers.

It's just that among the ministers, there are also quite a few complaints about Zhao Shu going to recruit An Liangshan, and they have everything to say. It's just that the crown prince Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Shu's eyes when he looked very complicated, and he didn't know whether he was a friend or an enemy. Of course, Zhao Shu also saw it in his eyes, but he was quite helpless.

Zhao Shu received the thirty-six gold medals and seventy-two silver medals he had asked for before, as well as three thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and silk and jade. Armor, winter clothes, swords, guns, weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows, and the holy decree of Song Huizong to him.

Zhao Shu knew in his heart that in fact, no matter how powerful the heroes of Liangshan were, they were only the role of a ragtag army in the Water Margin in later generations, and the weapons and equipment of the miscellaneous army were extremely poor, and Zhao Shu, who knew very well about the War of Resistance in later generations, knew very well that on the battlefield, the weapons and equipment of the two armies were a large part of the decisive factor in the outcome of a war. Liangshan will be his first army, and in the future, he will rely on the support of this army to conquer Fangla, pacify Western Xia, conquer Liao in the north, and fight against Dajin, and must not be lost in the process of conquering Fangla. So to provide them with absolutely good weapons and equipment, at least in the army of the Song Dynasty.

led these nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses, of course, Zhao Shu's beloved Mingyue, as well as several eunuchs in the palace, Ru Sicheng, as well as his guard captain Zhou Yang, and the imperial pro-army Duyu Marquis Lingfeng. It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Shu is a good recruit, and he is not a fugitive, dragging his family to do something. Of course, no one cares about this matter, anyway, as long as he can recruit Liangshan successfully.

However, whether it was the ministers or the people of Dawn in Bianjing, they were not optimistic that Zhao Shu would be able to successfully recruit Liangshan, let alone go to conquer Fang La. After all, he is a little-known prince, without any political achievements or peerless talents, and some are just royal halos.

In the east school field of Bianjing City, Ling Feng ordered nearly a thousand soldiers and horses for Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu's original guards were just ordinary imperial troops, so Ling Feng made arrangements to use four hundred golden gun squad soldiers as Zhao Shu's personal guards, guarding Zhao Shu's side at all times. And Zhao Shu's guards, the Imperial Army, explored the way in front of the line as a forward. In addition, in order to strengthen the deterrent effect of the Great Song Dynasty against Liangshan, Song Huizong also transferred 2,000 soldiers and horses from the Bianjing Forbidden Army (the forbidden army was only equivalent to a regular army, not a royal army) to follow Zhao Shu.

The civil and military officials only saw off Zhao Shu in the Wende Palace, but Song Huizong was busy with "state affairs" and could not see Zhao Shu off. Therefore, only the close royal family led by Empress Xiansu saw off at the school field.

In order to show his determination to recruit Liangshan this time, Zhao Shu abandoned the carriage and sedan chair, rode on a horse, carried a long sword in his hand, and walked around the school yard with great strength.

"Wow! Fifth brother is so good! I'm going to Zhao'an Liangshan. Leading the horse to the front of the royal family, a child about ten years old looked at Zhao Shu and clapped his hands and said quickly.

There was also a graceful and luxurious woman behind him who stroked his head, and Zhao Shu recognized this child, who was Zhao Shu's favorite among the princes of Song Huizong, and it was Song Huizong's eighth son, Zhao Yan, the Duke of Jiguo. And the woman behind him was his mother, Song Huizong's concubine Liu.

Liu is not a jealous concubine, because she is in the harem, Zhao Shu's mother, Queen Xiansu, treats her very well, so she is also quite kind to Zhao Shu, and said to Zhao Yan: "Look, the fifth brother is here, call the fifth brother quickly!" ”

"Fifth brother!" Zhao Yan opened his mouth and shouted to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu didn't reply, looked at Zhao Yan with a smile, and touched his head. Then he continued to walk in front of the royal family and said goodbye to them one by one.

"Fifth brother! Be careful along the way! The Nine Emperor Princes, Zhao Gou, said to Zhao Shu.

When passing in front of Zhao Gou, Zhao Shu's eyes looked extremely complicated, he just nodded to him, and did not touch his head like stroking Zhao Di's head, Zhao Gou reminded him of Song Gaozong recorded in later generations: "Once the enemy is in danger, several generations will suffer." ”

Of course, he couldn't help but say something, pinched Zhao Gou's little face, and said, "Study hard!" Don't think too much about your mother's affairs! ”
