If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government!

If Zhao Gou in the past might not think so, after the ups and downs of life, Zhao Gou has lost that kind of thought. It doesn't matter to him what the situation between the DPRK and China is, the most important thing is to strictly defend the defense line of the 16 states of Yanyun, which is the top priority.

Since he knew that he was the King of Yan and not the King of Kang in history, Zhao Gou decided to leave the capital and go to the front line to station, completely devoting himself to the northern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty and guarding the north. Therefore, Zhao Gou transferred all the forces he secretly deployed into the sixteen states of Yanyun, that is, the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if the situation in the Great Song Dynasty was chaotic, it still could not affect the stability of the sixteen states of Yanyun. As long as the sixteen states of Yanyun are guarded, which is the last line of defense of the Great Song Dynasty and the first line of defense, the Great Song Dynasty will not be broken by the iron cavalry of the Jin soldiers, nor will the country be broken.

In fact, Zhao Gou's idea is not wrong, if the emperor has always supported it, then he will not have any problems, but what will happen in the future is beyond the scope of what he can accept, and the final outcome will be even if he is unwilling, he has to do it, and some things must be undertaken.

"Young Master, we have reached the boundary of Yingzhou!"

Zhao Gou nodded, this is not the first time I have come here. Now when I see Yingzhou City, I really have mixed feelings. When their group appeared in front of the city gate, the Planter Dao had been waiting for a long time. He hurriedly stepped forward and welcomed Zhao Gou and the others into the city.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect us to meet in such a way!" Seed Master Dao smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Zhao Gou to actually become the King of Yan, and what was even more unexpected was that he still became one of Zhao Gou's generals, but this was not a good thing for him.

Zhao Gou smiled: "I think it's good to meet like this!" ”

Zhao Gou followed the seed master Dao and others directly into the house, the seed master Dao was at the border pass, and when Zhao Gou got married, he just asked people to give gifts, and did not participate in person. Now that Zhao Gou has come to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, then he will do his best to treat Zhao Gou as a landlord.

Zhao Gou was not hypocritical, and happily agreed, he also wanted to know about the situation in Yingzhou, so he asked during the banquet, and then the planter told him everything. Then, the seed master looked at Zhao Gou and sighed with emotion, he really didn't think Zhao Gou was worth it in his heart.

If there is anyone who has the greatest credit in the Great Song Dynasty, it should belong to Zhao Gou. It's just that the person with the most credit was not favored, but fell out of favor, and what surprised him the most was that Zhao Gou didn't have the slightest displeasure, as if he had expected it.

That night, Zhao Gou stayed in Yingzhou to rest, and talked with the seed master Dao Bing Candle at night.

"Lord Wang, what do you think?" The seed master said unwillingly.

"Just let it be!" Zhao Gou smiled, "The current imperial court is a little different, and these have nothing to do with me anymore." It just so happens that I am the King of Yan, and the land of the sixteen states of Yanyun is under my jurisdiction, isn't this just what I want, my desire is to contribute to the rise of the Great Song Dynasty, which is also the best result. ”

"If I continue to stay in the capital, it will not necessarily be a good thing for me, and at that time, even if I don't want to, I have to face the battle for the throne head-on, which is fratricide. My ambition is not for that, as long as there is no chaos here, everything will be easy. ”

"If there is a problem in the sixteen states of Yanyun, then the Great Song Dynasty will be in jeopardy. So, I'm here, only here is a monolith, even if the Jin people have the idea of invading the Great Song Dynasty, they have to think about it. At that time, there was no need to worry about what happened to the court. ”

Seed Master Dao frowned and wondered, "Does Your Highness want to establish himself as a king?" ”

"No such idea!" Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied.

The seed master said: "If His Highness doesn't want to establish himself as a king, I'm afraid that such an idea will have great drawbacks. ”

"Oh, let's hear it!" Zhao Gou was a little curious, he also wanted to hear about the veteran of the battlefield and the general who was an official in the court, so it can be said that his eyes were looking farther, and he happened to listen to different suggestions.

"If the politics are unstable, how can the war be stabilized?" Seed Master Dao said in a deep voice, "If the situation in the capital is chaotic, or if the crown prince inherits the throne, with his relationship with the prince, I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future." There is no war now, and if there is a political problem in the Great Song Dynasty, it will be the people who will suffer. ”

"If you want to win a hundred battles, you need not only the military ability of the general, but also the follow-up support, that is, the stability of the rear, you must know this truth. However, this rear stability also includes political stability, and if it is politically unstable, how can it be victorious! ”

Zhao Gou lowered his head thoughtfully and was silent.

"There's only one way to change this!" The planter continued.

"How?"

"Occupy the mountain as the king!" The seed master's words were shocking, and Zhao Gou was startled, "This is not what he meant!" If you really want to do what Your Highness thinks, the best way is to firmly control the power of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in your hands, and make this the territory of the prince, even if the emperor can't govern it, that is, cultivate power. ”

"Now the guards of the sixteen states of Yanyun are all subordinates of the prince, and the emperor should also have this meaning, only in this way can the prosperity and stability of the sixteen states of Yanyun be guaranteed, and the Great Song Dynasty will not be invaded by foreign enemies, and the most important thing is to hold this line of defense."

"Whether it is the current emperor or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is impossible to truly control the sixteen states of Yanyun. The emperor is high and the emperor is far away, and it is impossible to visit this place in person; If the crown prince comes here, I am afraid that no one will obey him, and he will not be able to completely recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

"So in my opinion, I think the emperor wants you to completely recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, become an iron plate, and become your territory. If this is not the case, I am afraid it will be difficult to make sense. In terms of the current situation, it is an inevitable trend for the crown prince to ascend the throne as the emperor, and if he ascends the throne as the emperor, he will definitely make things difficult for the prince, so he will also take care of some. ”

Zhao Gou frowned tightly and said, "In this case, Father Emperor is protecting me?" ”

Seed Master Dao nodded, "You know the emperor's temperament better than me, if he didn't protect you, why did he send you to the sixteen states of Yanyun, the generals here are all looking forward to the prince's horse." If you really want to be expelled, you can be sent to other places, or you can be named other princes, why is it 'King Yan'. ”

Zhao Gou was silent again, he had always thought that the emperor really didn't believe in him, so he would go against the emperor and take advantage of the situation. However, the words of the seed master touched him a little, he never understood the reason why his father did this, and he was also deeply shocked at this moment.

Then, Zhao Gou recalled Zhao Yougong's attitude, which was the biggest doubt. Although the two of them are not brothers, they are better than brothers. Zhao Yougong's relationship with himself is extraordinary, but he has little contact with him after he was named King Yan, and the only thing that can be explained is the emperor's will, and Zhao Yougong's temperament Zhao Gou is clear, if there is no reason, he will definitely ignore it, but this time Zhao Yougong did not do this, which means that this matter is really boring.
