The sky gradually got dark, and Zhao Chen dined with Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others.

Yesterday evening, today's lunch, Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others ate quite happily, although the food here is average, but it is much better than the food in the Five Kingdoms City! However, in the eyes of Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others, these meals are still far from worthy of the identities of Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others. Zhao Chen is here, and tonight's meal will be extremely rich!

In the past, when Kaifeng was in Kaifeng, the emperor had a meal, at least one hundred and eight dishes, and which kind of dishes the emperor liked to eat, someone immediately presented it! Now in the barracks, it is naturally impossible to be so hearty, but dozens of dishes are inevitable!

However, when the meal came, Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others were dumbfounded, there were only three dishes and one soup at night!

Zhao Ji, Ge Bing, Liu Shikai and others all use their own uses, and Zhao Chen actually shared a table with Liu Qi, Yu Yunwen and others, and enjoyed those three dishes and one soup together!

"This ...... There is simply no emperor dignity left? Your Majesty, how can you dine like this? Ge Bing couldn't help but say.

"If you don't eat like this, how can you eat?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty's meal, dozens of hundreds of dishes are inevitable! Even if you are in the army, you can't eat at the same table with your courtiers! Ge Bing said.

"Dozens of hundreds of dishes? Now the country is barren and in ruins! The Central Plains and Yanyun have just been recovered, and Jiangnan has just been pacified, and Henan, Lianghuai and other places are still starving, in such a situation, how can they be so extravagant and wasteful? This year, in order to support the people of Yanyun and the Central Plains, the military rations in the army have begun to be restricted! The Emperor and you have returned from the north, so I will give you preferential treatment, and I will sit down with my courtiers to dine. Zhao Chen said lightly.

Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen, Liu Qi and others ate in a big gulp, and Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others were stunned for a while before they began to move chopsticks.

Today, it snowed for a day, Liu Qi went to check the deployment of Shanhaiguan and arranged for the soldiers to clear the snow, while Zhao Chen came out of the room with Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others, and they came to the city wall in the north of Shanhaiguan this time.

The snow was falling, and it was dark in the distance, and I could only vaguely see that it was an endless grassland!

"Grandpa has suffered in the north in the past few years!" Zhao Chen said with emotion.

He was holding Zhao Ji, and he could feel that Zhao Ji was skinny! It is conceivable that Zhao Ji must have suffered a lot in the Five Kingdoms City!

"In the City of Five Kingdoms, we have to rely on ourselves for food and shelter! We grew our own food, built our own houses, and we became farmers. Zhao Ji sighed.

"Is Father alright?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your father is still suffering in the City of the Five Kingdoms! When I came back that day, your father was crying constantly, and he wanted to come back, but the Jurchens wouldn't let him! Chen'er, I have already agreed with the Jurchens, as long as we negotiate peace with the Jurchens, and the Jurchens will be recognized as brothers for generations, the Jurchens will be released back to your father! You must be a filial son and let your father return! Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Chen and said with an urgent expression.

"We will never make peace with the Jurchens." Zhao Chen said lightly.

"Are you so unfilial?" Zhao Ji was angry.

"Grandpa, the reason why the Jurchens put you back is not because they are merciful, but because they lost the battlefield, so they have to negotiate peace with us! As long as we get stronger and stronger and continue to defeat the Jurchens, sooner or later they will release their father back! Zhao Chen said lightly.

In fact, he has been thinking about the Jurchens' intention to return Zhao Ji, in his opinion, the Jurchens are not for "peace", but to use Zhao Ji to disrupt their own government! Along the way, he discussed with Yu Yunwen several times, and they all felt that this was the case! However, the current Great Song Dynasty is an iron-clad country, he Zhao Chen is the recognized emperor of hundreds of millions of people in the world, whether it is the court or the army, no one will betray Zhao Chen, his regime is extremely strong, even if Zhao Ji returns, it is impossible to disturb the government! As for Zhao Huan, the Jurchens are afraid that they will not be easily put back.

"Chen'er, you are now ruling the country by force, and you will recapture the Central Plains by force, aren't you?" Zhao Ji said.

"Relying on military generals to recapture the Central Plains, of course it is! If there were no millions of soldiers, would the Jurchens be willing to give up the Central Plains and Yanyun? Zhao Chen said.

"It is okay to recapture the Central Plains by force, but it is absolutely impossible to govern the country by force!" Zhao Ji said.

"I understand this, governing the world naturally depends on literati." Zhao Chen said.

"In that case, then we must withdraw our troops! Emperor Taizu once released the military power with a glass of wine, and you should also release the military power with a glass of wine! After returning to the capital, you will gather all the important generals of the frontier, deprive them of their military power, make them a high-ranking official without power, and then dismantle the army, and the world will be peaceful. Zhao Ji said.

Zhao Chen couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Ji said.

"An army of millions, I still feel a little less! I want to build a feat that my ancestors have never established, not just to recover the Central Plains and Yanyun! I want to lay down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, let my Great Song Dynasty be stronger than the Han and Tang Dynasties, and let my Great Song Dynasty continue forever! Not only can this army not be withdrawn, but it will increase! In the future, there will be Chinese flags everywhere in the world, and that is the time to stop. Zhao Chen said.

"This, this, this...... In such a reckless manner, the country will inevitably perish. Zhao Ji said.

"Of course not to be reckless! The people are rich and the country is strong, and the people must be rich before the country is strong! I have defeated Yanyun and the Central Plains, and I have never used troops in the north, what I am afraid of is that it will affect the recovery of Yanyun and the Central Plains! I will never be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who laid down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains but made the country barren and the people miserable! If everyone is rich, not to mention a million troops, even if there are more troops, we can support it! Zhao Chen said.

"Chen'er, you are too young to be good at governing the government, and when you return to the capital, I will help you govern the country." Zhao Ji thought about it and said again.

"Then you don't need to." Zhao Chen said with a mocking smile on his face.

"You're only seventeen! When you escaped from the palace, you were only ten years old, and you didn't know anything, so you had to be taught by me. Zhao Ji said.

"Grandpa is suffering in the north, just enjoy the blessings with peace of mind when you go back! Grandpa ruled the world back then, the great rejuvenation of Huashigang, the people suffered very hard, the country's military strength was weakened, there was the Songjiang uprising in the north, and the Fangla uprising in the south, if there were no these, my Great Song Dynasty would not have been beaten to Kaifeng by the Jurchens in a short time, and almost wiped out the country. Zhao Chen's voice became cold and said.

"You!" Zhao Ji's face turned red, and he pointed at Zhao Chen, with anger in his eyes.

He didn't expect Zhao Chen to be so short-sighted! Zhao Chen is his grandson, this is a great unfilial act!

In fact, Zhao Chen didn't want to do this, but Zhao Ji wanted to meddle in the government nakedly, and Zhao Chen would never agree! Zhao Chen really looked down on Zhao Ji's behavior that brought disaster to the country and the people back then, so he said it bluntly.

"I came back this time and brought more than 1,000 people, they were all Kaifeng officials at the beginning, and this time they can also be placed in the court to help you deal with the government." Zhao Ji held back his anger and said again.

"They are all ministers of the country! If the seal is broken, is there no sin for them? When they returned, they were all reduced to commoners and never hired. Zhao Chen said.

"How can you do that? They're all doctors! Many people are ten years old, from children to talents, from talents to people, from people to scholars, and then they can become courtiers! If you do this, you are the enemy of the corporal doctor in the world! Zhao Ji said.

"Grandpa, I established a new policy to try to benefit all the people in the world, and none of the people who died in the past can be hired, please forgive me! It's getting late, so let's go back and rest. The words are not speculative, Zhao Chen is no longer in the mood to continue, and he will say now.

Zhao Chen has a deep relationship with Zhao Huan, Queen Zhu and others, but there is almost no affection between him and Zhao Ji except for blood! After he came to this world, he had only met Zhao Ji a few times, and he hadn't said a few words, and they were only related by blood! Therefore, Zhao Chen and Zhao Ji didn't have many scruples when they spoke, and they could say whatever they wanted.

Zhao Chen had already left, and Zhao Ji was still standing there indignantly, breathless.

******

After returning to the room, Zhao Chen thought about it and asked the guards to send a box of snacks to Zhao Ji's room and give it to Zhao Xun.

After a quarter of an hour, there was a sound of reporting outside, and Zhao Xun actually came to thank him.

"Come on in." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Xun came in, Zhao Chen hugged him, he looked carefully, and found that although Zhao Xun was only three or four years old, he actually had a small callouse on his hand, and obviously suffered in the north.

"Good brother, do you hate the Jurchens?" Zhao Chen said.

"Hate!" Zhao Xun thought for a while and said.

"Even a child knows how to hate the Jurchens, but our grandfather still wants to negotiate peace with the Jurchens, and let us Han people be the brothers of the Jurchens for thousands of generations, ridiculous and ridiculous! How could there be such a ridiculous thing in the world? Brother, I want to destroy the Jurchens and avenge you, are you willing? Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! In the past, when we were in the Five Kingdoms City, those Jurchens used to beat and scold us, and I was whipped by them once, and I almost died at that time, and I still have scars on my body. Zhao Xun said.

Zhao Xun lifted his clothes, Zhao Chen looked at it, and sure enough, there was a long scar on the little child's body, which looked very hideous.

"Damn the Jurchens, when I was in the Kaifeng Palace, I was almost killed by them! At that time, Kaifeng City was really a hell on earth, and I still remember the scene at that time, there were many children as old as you who were tortured and killed by them! Hey, don't say it, anyway, we'll get revenge. Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Xun nodded, he was young, tired all day, and now he was tired, he closed his eyes as he spoke, and Zhao Chen couldn't help but smile after seeing it.

"Don't know what my biological child is like now? Is A-Yao okay? Zhao Chen said secretly.

When I was in Yanjing City a few days ago, Zhe Yueru asked Zhao Chen to take Song Qingyao over, but Zhao Chen didn't agree! Song Qingyao just gave birth to a child last winter, and now the child is only a few months old, and it is too far from Jiangnan to here, and the mother and son are afraid that they will not be able to withstand such bumps! Wait until the spring is in full bloom, and the child will be picked up when he is a little older.

At this moment, Zhao Chen suddenly missed Song Qingyao very much.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Chen, Zhao Ji and others left Shanhaiguan, and more than 1,000 ministers and nobles from the north also left Shanhaiguan together.

Thousands of cavalry escorted them out together.

Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others were together, and Yu Yunwen rushed up from behind and asked Zhao Ji for peace.

"You must be the minister next to Chen'er? Don't know what position you hold now? Zhao Ji said.

"Emperor Qiyu, Weichen is now the Minister of Military Aircraft, walking at the Military Aircraft." Yu Yunwen said.

"Minister of Military Aircraft? What is this position? Zhao Ji said in surprise.

"After Your Majesty was killed, in order to deal with emergency military affairs in various places, the Military Aircraft Department was established to manage the ......affairs of the world," Yu Yunwen began to explain the Military Aircraft Department.

After Yu Yunwen finished speaking, Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others all gasped! This military aircraft department is completely different from the previous Zhongshu Province, the Sixth Ministry, the Privy Council, etc., the emperor alone controls the national government, and in the military aircraft department, all the ministers are subordinate to the emperor, and whoever the emperor wants to let come to power will come to power, and whoever he wants to leave the military aircraft department will leave! It is difficult for any minister to resist the emperor, and this is the real "cadredom"! In all dynasties, no matter how high the emperor's power is, he can't do what Zhao Chen is now!

Of course, since entering Yanjing, the Military Aircraft Department has begun to change, which is different from before.

"Your Majesty's means are so powerful!" Ge Bing and the others felt a little chill in their bodies.

"I'm going to persuade Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult." Liu Shikai said.

The army crossed the border, occasionally passing by the village, and the people in the village did not dodge, and even some people brought hot water and meals out to entertain the soldiers, seeing this scene, Zhao Ji, Ge Bing and others all showed expressions of disbelief.

Passing by a village, you can see a village painted with a huge slogan "Military and civilian unity as a family".

After staying in Jizhou for one night, they continued to move on, and on February 17, they finally came to the city of Yanjing.

Zhao Ji thought that when he returned to Yanjing, Yanjing City would inevitably launch a large-scale celebration, spending hundreds of thousands of millions of silver to celebrate, but who knew that after arriving here, there would be no celebration here!

The city gate of Yanjing City was wide open, and they rode straight into Yanjing City.

Zhao Ji also came to Yanjing for the first time, and looked at everything in Yanjing City curiously. At that time, the Song Dynasty wanted to pay tribute to the Liao State, but the people who went to the Liao State were ministers, and the emperor naturally could not go to the Liao State!

"Thanks to the Jurchens who destroyed the Liao Kingdom, we can get Yanjing City so smoothly! Otherwise, the strength of the Liao State is far superior to that of our Great Song Dynasty, and it is impossible for our Great Song Dynasty to get Yanjing. Zhao Ji said excitedly.

"Liao is not an opponent of the Jurchens, the Jurchens are not the opponent of my million-strong army, how can the Liao-state defeat my million-strong army?" Zhao Chen said lightly.

"This ......" Zhao Ji couldn't speak.

Ahead is a flat avenue, but it has been closed at the moment, and there are soldiers everywhere!

There were many shops on both sides of the road, but the shops were not closed, and many people were there to watch the soldiers entering the city, and some saw the emperor on horseback, and immediately fell to their knees, and for a time, the sound of Banzai was everywhere on both sides of the road.

"This Yanjing City is almost as good as Kaifeng back then, and it's quite prosperous!" Zhao Ji looked at the surrounding scene and said.

"When I first entered Yanjing, Yanjing City was extremely depressed! I'm going to the palace soon, and I'll tell my grandfather about it then. Zhao Chen smiled faintly.

"Good!" Zhao Ji nodded.

The front finally arrived at the palace, Zhao Ji looked at the palace of the Liao Kingdom, and suddenly a sense of mission surged in his heart, he felt that he must prevent Zhao Chen from "governing the country by force", and he must let the Great Song Dynasty change back to the Great Song Dynasty of the year, which is still "Yang Wen and suppress the military", and must make the Great Song Dynasty become the brother state of the Great Jin State, and must be disarmed!

He wanted to see how Zhao Chen would place him, the emperor, and how he would place more than a thousand ministers and nobles!
