The night was dark, but Zhao Chen didn't sleep, he was reading a book under the lamp!

He read Cao Cao's "Mengde New Book", which recorded Cao Cao's art of war! Cao Cao fought in the south and north for 30 years, and his attainments in the art of war were extremely high, and he had written many military books, and this "Mengde New Book" is one of the most famous!

Zhao Chen is now just a puppet prince with nothing to do, just use this time to read some books and improve himself! It's also a way to build power! Before he is completely knocked down, he will use various methods to slowly accumulate his strength! In the future, even if he is knocked down, he will need to slowly accumulate strength and go all the way up, so that it is possible to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country!

At this moment, the sound of a report came from outside!

"Come in!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

Wang Gui walked into the room, knelt down in front of Zhao Chen, and said, "My subordinates have not completed their mission, please punish the prince!" ”

"Brother Wang, please get up! Isn't he willing to take refuge in us? Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Wang Gui stood up and said.

"If he doesn't want to take refuge in us, forget it! It's good to have his help, but we're also afraid of rejecting wolves at the front door and welcoming the tiger at the back door! Without his help, we will still be able to overcome the fold in the future and be able to control the Great Song Dynasty! Zhao Chen said lightly.

After experiencing these countless tribulations, Zhao Chen's heart is becoming more and more tenacious! In his opinion, any difficulties now are just small obstacles in his way! He can destroy obstacles with the help of others, or he can destroy them with his own strength! Quduan's strength is certainly strong, but without Quduan, he can still defeat the fold! It's just that it may take a little longer!

Wang Gui has already retreated, Zhao Chen is not shocked in his heart, and he is still reading in the room!

It wasn't until the time of the child that Zhao Chen closed the book and fell asleep!

The next day, when the sky was just dawning, Zhao Chen had already woken up!

At this moment, he is practicing his sword in front of the Qianqing Palace!

I saw him stabbing forward one sword after another, the swordsmanship was very slow, but the power contained in it was extremely strong!

"The king is dead! The king is the community, and he should be with the community! Sheji is gone, what's the point of the king's life! ”

This move is the "king dies sheji" in the Taisho swordsmanship, which means that the king and the sheji survive together! If you follow this sentence, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong lost Kaifeng City and Jiangshan Sheji, and they did not die with Sheji, but survived at the feet of the Jurchens. They are even inferior to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, after the destruction of the city of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen would rather hang himself in the coal mountain than surrender to Li Zicheng!

His sword momentum became thicker and heavier, as if this sword was not only issued by relying on his strength, but by the strength of the entire Jiangshan Society, and by the wishes of hundreds of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty! This is the true meaning of the king's death!

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts were superb, and his skills were in the world, and the swordsmanship he created was extremely subtle! Only by comprehending the true meaning of swordsmanship can you exert the power of swordsmanship! So since Zhao Chen began to learn martial arts last year, until now, he has not really mastered this Dazheng swordsmanship! He is only a prince now, not the Son of Heaven, and even if he becomes the Son of Heaven, if he can't reach the spiritual realm of Zhao Kuangyin back then, can't understand Zhao Kuangyin's majestic domineering back then, and can't really exert the power of this Taizheng swordsmanship!

After practicing swords for an hour, Zhao Chen finally stopped.

At this moment, he felt refreshed all over his body, and after a little washing, he returned to the Qianqing Palace!

After a while, Zhe Keqiu, Li Gang took Qu Duan, Wang Shu and others to Qianqing Palace and came to meet Zhao Chen!

Zhao Chen looked at Qu Duan with a smile on his face as if he didn't know what happened last night.

"The general has traveled thousands of miles from the northwest! It's so hard! Waiting for everyone to sit down, Zhao Chen smiled.

"Don't dare to be! It's not hard! When I was at war with the Western Xia, I supported the Yan'an Road from Jingyuan Road for thousands of miles, and then trekked hundreds of miles from the Yan'an Road into the territory of the Western Xia, and fought with the Xixia people countless times, and each time I was seriously injured, which was considered hard at that time! Qu Duan said.

"The generals and heroes are known to the world! Can the general tell me about the war back then? Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness is willing to listen, but the last general can't ask for it!" Qu Duan said with a smile.

At the moment, Qu Duan talked about the war of the year, and Zhao Chen listened to it with relish. When Qu Duan finished speaking, Zhao Chen said: "The general is now in Jingyuan, there should be a lot of difficulties, right?" ”

Qu Duan said: "There is not much difficulty, just a lack of military rations!" The Jingyuan generation was very desolate, and the population there was also very limited, so relying on their own crops could not meet the needs of the 100,000 Jingyuan army! Since the invasion of the Jin soldiers last year, Sheji has fallen, and I haven't received military rations for half a year! Luckily, we still have some food in stock, but we're running out of food now! ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, the general, Master Li and Master Zhe have already told me that they have transferred 300,000 stone of military rations from Sichuan and Shu, and all of them will be transported to Jingyuan when the time comes!" ”

After Qu Duan heard the news, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you two adults!" ”

Zhao Chen said: "Your Jingyuan army guards the border for the country, so we naturally want to give you military rations!" Lord Li and Lord Zhe also said that they want me to grant you the position of Jingyuan Road Jie Du Envoy! In addition, the position of Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy is also held by you! ”

Last night, Wang Gui went to see Qu Duan and said that he wanted Qu Duan to serve as the "privy deputy envoy", but since Qu Duan was unwilling, Zhao Chen would not mention this matter today!

However, the "Jingyuan Festival Envoy" and "Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy" are also important positions! In the Song Dynasty, the Jiedu envoy was the highest position that a soldier could reach, but the Song Dynasty Jiedu envoy was only a glorious position, which was very different from the Tang Dynasty! The Xuanfu envoy is to manage the military and civilian affairs of the entire Shaanxi! Of course, half of Shaanxi is now occupied by the Jurchens, and the remaining half is also dilapidated and desolate, but this position is still a high authority!

With a happy expression on his face, Qu Duan said again: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you two adults!" ”

Zhao Chen said: "You are in Hanzhong these days, if you have anything difficult, you can immediately go to Lord Li or Lord Zhe, of course, you can also come to the palace to find me!" We will do our best to solve it for you! ”

Qu Duan said: "Yes! ”

Everyone talked here for a long time, until noon, when Zhao Chen gave a banquet, Qu Duan and others left the Han Palace after eating!

*** ***

After Qu Duan and Wang Shu left the Han Palace, Qu Duan said as he walked: "This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a little different!" It's very different from ordinary teenagers! Wang Shu, do you think that's the case? ”

Wang Shu nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and old, easy-going, and doesn't have any shelves!" He is not only very different from ordinary teenagers, but also very different from ordinary royal children! Ordinary royal children will never be able to do this! Moreover, I heard what the man said yesterday that the prince has a tough temperament, and I carefully observed it today, although the prince is gentle on the surface, his eyes occasionally sweep over, and there is indeed a trace of indescribable firmness! This is the appearance of a generation of Ming Jun! It seems that not only did we underestimate the prince before, but we also looked down on the prince when we begged to be with the prince every day! General, think about it again, do you want to follow the prince completely and be loyal to the prince? ”

Qu Duan shook his head and said, "I just need military rations!" With military rations, my 100,000 Jingyuan army can survive! As for what kind of person the prince is, whether the prince can fight or not, I don't care at all now! Don't say it again! ”

Wang Shu sighed softly and nodded!

Qu Duan strode forward, Wang Shu followed behind Qu Duan, thinking about his own affairs in his heart!

"The more I look at the prince, the more he looks like a generation of Ming Jun, and now the prince's strength is extremely weak, and it is a good time to take refuge in him! It's a pity that the general is unwilling to take refuge in the crown prince! I want to contact the prince by myself now, but I'm afraid it's also a little difficult! However, Zhe Keqiu blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and when the time came, he would definitely drive away all the prince's cronies! At that time, I could contact the cronies beside the prince, especially Li Gang! ”

"The general is reluctant to defect to the prince, but the general still has countless partial generals and deputy generals, and I can convince these partial generals and deputy generals! When the time comes, I will dedicate the entire Jingyuan Army to the crown prince as the step of my prince's life! ”

Wang Shu's eyes changed......

At this moment in the palace, Zhao Chen is looking up at the sky, it is already the second day of the seventh month, and he is getting closer and closer to ascending the throne!
