Chapter 575: The whole country rejoices

"Pass on my order, all the generals who participated in the war this time put down their affairs in their hands, return to Beijing with me to resume their lives, and wait for the end of the reward, and then continue to guard the border fortress."

After Zhao Gou returned to Youzhou, he immediately issued an order for all the guards of all states to go to the capital. As for the generals who are far away, they will set off immediately, and when they arrive in the capital, they must wait for the army to set off together; If it is a general who is closer, he will set off with Zhao Gou.

Everyone was appointed by Zhao Gou to become guards in various states and guard one side; Now, Zhao Gou has sent an order for them to return to Beijing to resume their lives. Zhao Gou's military order is comparable to the emperor's holy decree, and even more effective than the holy decree, even the old commanders such as Seed Master Dao and Zong Ze obey their orders.

Those generals who have been following Zhao Gou's southern expedition to the north are even more preoccupied with Zhao Gou's horse.

The sixteen states of Yanyun were captured by Zhao Gou and all the soldiers together, and it can be said that Zhao Gou's prestige in the sixteen states of Yanyun is unparalleled, and the emperor who is far away in the capital cannot be compared. After Zhao Gou passed the order, everyone arranged things non-stop, and then set off.

Since Zhao Gou cured the old trouble of Yan Agu's fight, he believed that even if the main general was not there, the Jin soldiers would not attack the border of the Great Song Dynasty in vain. Because of this, Zhao Gou decided to let them return to Beijing together to confer the title, which was also arranged by Zhao Gou in advance and fully prepared.

"He's finally coming back! ……”

The crown prince Zhao Huan, who was far away in the East Palace of the capital, already knew that the emperor had sent a holy decree for Zhao Gou to lead the generals back to Beijing to resume his life. Originally, Zhao Huan was almost deposed because of something, but later Song Huizong was grounded for three months, allowing him to reflect in the mansion. Now, Zhao Huan has re-entered the court, which has ignited his ambition to ascend the throne as the emperor again.

As long as the crown prince is not deposed for a day, then Zhao Huan has a chance to inherit the throne. Even if he re-entered the court this time and entered the hall, Zhao Huan couldn't make much of a storm. In the last confrontation with Zhao Gou, he was defeated and lost the power he relied on.

Now Zhao Heng is like a lonely person, he can't do anything, and he can't do it. The officials of various departments in the DPRK and China respected him, and no one was willing to be with him, let alone accept his solicitation during this special period.

Zhao Gou overthrew Gao Yu, Tong Guan and others, who were in power in the middle of the court, and even the power of the crown prince fell apart and collapsed in an instant under his agitation. It can be said that Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan are even more afraid of Zhao Gou. Because Zhao Gou is not only the generalissimo of Pingliao, but also the commander-in-chief of the 100,000-strong army, in charge of military power, and has his own power in the court.

Therefore, Zhao Gou was far away from the court, and he was in the sixteen states of Yanyun, and what happened in the court could not escape his eyes. Among them, the secretary of the criminal department stood by Zhao Gou's side unswervingly, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the ministry and others also stood in line, willing to help Zhao Gou and assist Zhao Gou.

For these things, Song Huizong turned a blind eye, which made everyone see Zhao Gou's hope, and some officials even broke their heads and wanted to get in touch. However, Zhao Gou completely ignored it. In addition, the crown prince Zhao Huan has lost power, and even the emperor doesn't care about him.

Being above the temple, how could they choose to follow the crown prince Zhao Huan at this time, unless they really disliked themselves for being an official for too long and wanted to become an idle cloud and wild crane. Nowadays, most of the court is subordinate to Zhao Gou and has become Zhao Gou's power.

These Zhao Gou himself did not know, and with the support of veterans such as Seed Master Dao and Zong Ze, although Zhao Gou did not have the name of the prince, he had the power of the prince, and one person was above ten thousand people. Whenever he thought of this, Prince Zhao Huan had a solemn look on his face, and his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.

Zhao Huan wished that Zhao Gou would lose in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and he even wished that he would die on the battlefield. Even if Zhao Gou is his own brother, he is still an enemy in his eyes. Until Song Huizong passed down the holy decree and asked Zhao Gou and others to return to Beijing to restore their lives, Zhao Huan had mixed feelings and was helpless.

"Ninth brother, now that you are in power with the government and the opposition, one person is above ten thousand people, and even I, the prince, cannot be compared." Prince Zhao Huan smiled coldly, "But the heavier you stand high and fall, when you fall, I'm afraid you won't even be as good as me!" ”

"Don't think that your father looks at you differently, that is because you are still valuable. When your value is gone, look at what capital you have to be proud of. My dear ninth brother, at that time you only knew my current pain, let's see! ”

Zhao Gou had already returned to the court, and Song Huizong was overjoyed when he got the news, and immediately passed down the holy decree, so that all the streets and alleys of Bianjing City were lit up. In addition, Song Huizong passed down the decree again, and when Zhao Gou returned to Beijing, hundreds of officials greeted him, and he personally went out of the city to welcome Zhao Gou's triumphant return.

Those officials in the same camp as Zhao Gou were elated, those who hated Zhao Gou were angry, and those neutral officials were also happy. After all, Zhao Gou's recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun has never won a battle since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and it will remain in history.

"Brother Huang, how are you going to reward Lao Jiu?" Zhao seemed to be also very happy, and he also wanted to know how Song Huizong would be rewarded.

Song Huizong said with a smile: "I already know the matter of rewarding in my heart. ”

Zhao seemed to ask, but Song Huizong just didn't let go, which made Zhao seem even more curious. In the end, seeing that Song Huizong did not let go, Zhao seemed to give up.

Song Huizong recalled the picture of Zhao Gou's birth, and there was some disbelief in his mind. Even if it is to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, this is simply a fantasy thing, but it has already happened. Song Huizong's wish was fulfilled by Zhao Gou, and he was really happy in his heart, but he still couldn't help but have a few more glasses.

Zhao Gou was different when he was young, but they didn't expect this son to be so powerful, far exceeding their expectations. In addition, Zhao Gou negotiated with the Emperor of the Dajin Kingdom on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, such as Wanyan Aguta, and they all knew this, and Zhao Gou finally cured the old trouble of Wanyan Aguta, in exchange for the peace of the Great Song Dynasty, there is still the most important time.

No matter which one it is, looking at something that has never happened in the entire Great Song Dynasty, I have never thought about it. Even Song Huizong didn't dare to say that he could be so calm and let the Great Song Dynasty have the upper hand in the negotiations with the Jin Dynasty, and Zhao Gou did all of this, and did what he, the emperor, did not do.

Zhao Gou led the army to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, which was a great achievement.

Song Huizong arranged to welcome Zhao Gou, and at the same time issued a decree to amnesty the world. All offenders who are not guilty of capital crimes will have their sentences commuted, and those who will be released from prison for minor offenses. In addition, Song Huizong took out silver manuscripts from the treasury to reward the three armies, those soldiers who had not yet returned to Beijing but still stuck to the border passes.

The Great Song Dynasty achieved such a great victory, which was really celebrated by the whole world. Moreover, Zhao Gou's prestige is even greater, even ordinary people know it, even the people of the mountains and wilderness know Zhao Gou, and they also know his deeds. Because Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty sent a decree to post the deeds of Zhao Gou's recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun on the imperial list, it spread throughout the entire Great Song Dynasty, so the whole country was jubilant.
