"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go to Hanzhong! Convince His Highness the Prince! Yang Shi stood up and said loudly.

"Good! So there is Mr. Lao Yang! It's just that Mr. Yang is alone, who else wants to go to Hanzhong? Zhao said.

In fact, seeing Yang Shi stand up, Zhao Gou was already very happy in his heart! Although Yang Shi doesn't have much ability, Yang Shi's fame is extremely great! This person is a disciple of a Confucian sage, even if he is the emperor, he does not dare to offend Yang Shi! Even, when Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were in power, they didn't dare to offend Yang Shi! Back then, Yang Shi had a discordant relationship with Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, those people were all famous traitors in history, and their power was monstrous, but those people didn't dare to punish Yang Shi! There is such a famous person to convince Zhao Chen, but I am afraid that Zhao Chen will be difficult to deal with!

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go to Hanzhong with Mr. Yang! Convince His Highness the Prince! At this time, another person stood up and said lightly.

Seeing this person, Zhao Gou was stunned, it turned out that that person was Zhao Ding!

Zhao Ding was originally a Luoyang order, and later became a petty official in Kaifeng Mansion! When Zhao Gou came to Xiangzhou, Zhao Ding happened to go to Xiangzhou to do business and stayed in Xiangzhou! Therefore, Zhao Ding is now Zhao Gou's subordinate! It's just that Zhao Ding is an upright person who doesn't know how to please his boss! Therefore, the relationship between Zhao Gou and Zhao Ding itself is not very good! He just heard Zong Ze say that Zhao Ding has some skills, so he is still very important to Zhao Ding!

Seeing Zhao Ding standing up at this moment, Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Okay!" You will go to Hanzhong with Mr. Yang! This matter is entrusted to the two of you! I hope you will take the heirloom jade seal in your hands! This heirloom jade seal is very important and should be in the hands of the king! The crown prince is young, and if he loses the heirloom jade seal, it will be bad! ”

Yang Shi and Zhao Ding agreed!

"Your Majesty, today you ascended the throne as emperor, but you can't stay in this Shangqiu City forever!" After saying the matter of the jade seal of the country, Huang Qianshan suddenly stood up and said.

"Oh! Why can't you stay here all the time? Zhao said.

"It's too close to Kaifeng! The Jurchens were able to defeat Kaifeng last time, and they will be able to hit Shangqiu next time! Whether it is Kaifeng or Shangqiu, it is a plain! The Jurchen cavalry is coming, we can't resist it at all! So, I suggest that Your Majesty go to Gangnam! From now on, it will be the capital in Jiangnan! Huang Qianshan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! There are many waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, and when the Jurchen cavalry arrives, they can't pass through those waterways at all! Once there, their combat power will be greatly reduced, and we will be much safer! Wang Boyan also stood up and said.

These two people are both officials from Jiangnan officialdom, and they have a very strong foundation in Jiangnan, so they have suggested that Zhao Gou go to Jiangnan! Of course, what they said is not wrong, and after arriving in Jiangnan, they will be much safer!

"You're right! It's just that we have just returned to the Central Plains, and we have just recovered Kaifeng, Shangqiu and other places, and now who should these places be handed over to manage? Zhao said.

His gaze swept downward, and those civil and military ministers turned their heads one after another! They don't want to stay here, it's too dangerous!

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to guard Kaifeng! Lao Chen wants to train a strong army in Kaifeng Mansion, I not only want to block the Jurchens here, but I also want to lead the army to the north, completely recover the Central Plains, and welcome back the second emperor! Zong Ze stood up and said.

"Good! It's up to you! From today on, you are the prefect of Kaifeng! Zhao Gou said with a smile.

In fact, he himself wanted Zong Ze to stay in the north! Although Zong Ze has a very high reputation and talent, this person is also upright! Zhao Gou has to rely on Zong Ze, but he doesn't like Zong Ze very much! So, let Zong Ze stay in the north and become a northern barrier, this is the best choice!

"Your Majesty, General Han Shizhong Han has extraordinary skills, it is better to stay in Kaifeng and assist the old minister!" Zong Ze said again.

"No need for this! Han Shizhong wants to go to Jiangnan, form a Jiangnan naval army, and defend the Yangtze River in the future! Zhao Gou shook his head and said.

He is greedy for life and afraid of death, and when he arrives in Jiangnan, he still needs someone to help him defend the Yangtze River! And Han Shizhong is the most capable general under him, so he naturally has to use it for the defense of the Yangtze River!

As for Liu Guangshi, on the one hand, Zong Ze looked down on Liu Guangshi, and on the other hand, Liu Guangshi himself was not willing to leave Zhao Gou's side at all! In Liu Guangshi's view, only by following Zhao Gou can he be promoted and make a fortune!

In the end, Wang Yan, the commander of the eight-character army, decided to stay in Kaifeng! More than half of the hundreds of thousands of rebels also decided to stay in Kaifeng! It's just that these rebels lack weapons, lack of food and grass, and all of these need to be prepared after Zhao Gou arrives in Jiangnan!

The night was already dark, the ministers had dispersed, and Zhao Gou stood on top of the attic, looking into the distance!

He had an excited smile on his face! Growing up, he never expected himself to become an emperor! But the Jurchens went south, and he finally had a chance to become the emperor! Now he has finally fulfilled a long-cherished wish that he could not even imagine!

It's just that there is still a prince in the West, but the prince is not enough! On the one hand, he had already sent Yang Shi and Zhao Ding to persuade the prince! Even if Yang Shi and Zhao Ding couldn't convince the prince, after he occupied the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Sichuan and other places, the prince only had a mere piece of Hanzhong, and he couldn't compete with him at all!

"It's really not good, only to send a large army to exterminate the prince! Can a mere piece of Hanzhong stop my army? Thinking of this, Zhao Gou laughed!

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left Shangqiu City and headed for the west!

They had to go all the way west, first through Tongguan, and then from Guanshan to Hanzhong!

The two of them only brought a few retinues, but these retinues were all masters in the army!

Yang Shi sat in the carriage with a solemn face! Zhao Ding was by his side!

"Mr. Yang, do you think we can convince the prince?" Zhao Dingdao.

"No problem! I told the prince about the righteousness, and he couldn't help but listen! Yang Shi said.

"If the prince doesn't listen, what will we do?" Zhao Dingdao.

"If the prince doesn't listen, he will ignore the country and the people, and he will be sorry for the country, the people, and the emperor! Hmph, at that time, I'm afraid that we will use force against the prince! His Majesty occupies Jiangnan, Sichuan, and the Central Plains, and it is easy to recover a mere Hanzhong! Yang Shi said.

"Now that the Jurchens have not gone south, if we use force against the prince, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing to cause trouble in this way, right?" Zhao Ding frowned.

"For the sake of the country, the people, and the society of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also a last resort!" Yang Shidao.

"After all, the crown prince is orthodox, and His Majesty is the successor of the vassal king after all! If Your Majesty uses force against the crown prince, I am afraid that the people of the world may not agree with us! Zhao Ding said.

"We are also for the sake of those people! The people are puzzled, we can only persuade the people well! In the future, Your Majesty will rule the country and drive out the Tartars, and the people will naturally not say anything! Yang Shi said.

Yang Shi was full of confidence, but Zhao Ding frowned slightly, thinking non-stop in his heart!

"It's not trivial to ask for father and son, he once defeated Jin Bing, and he is famous in the world! With them, it is not easy for us to conquer Hanzhong! Zhao Ding said again.

Originally, when he was in the monk Yuan, Wu Jue and Wu Xuan defeated Jin Bing, but they could ask for credit for it, which made people spread everywhere, saying that they were Zhe's father and son who defeated Jin Bing! Therefore, until now, few people in the world know about Wu Jue and Wu Xuan, but they all think that they have defeated Jin Bing! Speaking of which, this is the first time that the Song soldiers have defeated the Jin soldiers on a frontal battlefield since the Jurchen invasion of the south, so the father and son are now very famous! Originally, when they were defending the Yellow River, they fled when they heard the drums, but now no one even mentions the past! Even Zhao Ding thought that the father and son of the Zhe family were proficient in military strategy, and the strength of the Zhe family army was extraordinary!

"Although it is not trivial to ask for father and son, the place they occupy is too small after all! Hanzhong can't resist us! At most, a few more people will die! Yang Shi said.

Zhao Ding shook his head and said no more!

They set out on May 17, and by the time they reached May 25, they had already arrived at the city of Tongguan!

Now Tongguan has been occupied by the Jurchens, but the Jurchens did not block ordinary merchants from entering and exiting Tongguan! They pretended to be merchants, and they even had a pass issued by the Jurchens in their hands! So here they are not much hindered!

After passing through Tongguan, they went all the way west! When passing by Chang'an, they didn't stop!

On the third day of the sixth month, they came to the Great Scattered Pass!

After hearing about their identity, the guards of Dasanguan did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent people to protect them and go to Hanzhong!

On June 17, the two of them came to Hanzhong! It's dusk!

Fold can ask to receive two people in person!
