Chapter 600: Guarding against the Song Army

This time, he chose to adopt the opinions of Xu Han and Yao Gu, and urgently notified the three main forces of the Imperial Camp Division, so that all localities could be careful and take precautions, and the Jin State would change! The imperial court especially warned Huaixi to appease Liu Guangguo, the land of Huaixi had just been returned, everything was still being rebuilt, and if the Jurchens raised troops to attack, Huaixi was very likely to suffer the first blow! Zhao Chen still felt unsafe, so he sent his chamberlain Pegasus to chase Xu Wei and pass the news of the coup d'état of the Jin State to him.

As soon as the chamberlain who went to chase Xu Wei left, Zhao Chen immediately drove to the Imperial Camp Division to plan the military, and even expressed the idea of wanting to drive the imperial expedition in person. I have to admit that this young emperor really wants to do something, and he is quite bold. But the problem is, you just heard about the coup d'état in the Jin Kingdom, the wind was blowing, but the grass didn't move, as if facing a great enemy, like a cat, bowed up, let out a low roar, and even let the army from north to south, from east to west enter a state of combat readiness, isn't it a bit of a fuss?

Soon, the chamberlain who went to chase Xu Wei came back. The report said that Xu Shumi's request for them to represent the official family, even if it was a coup d'état in the Jin State, even if Wanyan Zongpan, who advocated peace between the north and the south, was killed, it would not have much impact on the situation of the Song and Jin dynasties, let alone the outbreak of war.

The Purple Gold Tiger simply gave the emperor an analysis from two aspects. The first is internal affairs, Zong Pan was killed, Zong Gan Zong Bi took power, and at the moment they were busy consolidating themselves and had no time to take care of anything else. Besides, there are problems and contradictions everywhere in the country, especially the two rivers. South of Yanshan, the Jinting decree is not resumed, and his own family has not done a good job, what other ideas can he have?

The second is the military. Counting from the Battle of Qishan, the Jin army has lost three battles in a row in major military conflicts, although the Jurchens have mainly relied on signing troops to fight in recent years, but they have lost three battles in a row, losing tens of thousands of soldiers and losing a large area of defense area, this blow is not not heavy. Even if the Jin people want to retaliate, it is not a matter of the moment, unless Beiyi really wants to fight for a jade and burn the fish, and the net will be broken? Think about it, can they do that?

In the end, Xu Wei ended with a sentence. He asked the chamberlain to tell Xiao Zhao's official family that there was a bloody coup d'état in the Jin Kingdom, and it was the Jurchens who should be guarded against, not us.

After Zhao Chen learned of Xu Wei's idea, he didn't fully believe it. But soon, in Layue, the movements of the Jin army were reported everywhere. Jinghu He Guan reported that the Jin army had withdrawn the main forces of Tangzhou and Dengzhou very abnormally, gathered around Tokyo, and assumed a posture of defending Tokyo. Subsequently, Liu Guangguo of Huaixi also reported that the Jin army seemed to want to avoid conflict and withdrew its troops from the border.

These messages seem to confirm Xu Wei's prediction, and Jin Jun seems to be really guarding against something. In fact, the Jin Army's systematic actions were all under the orders of the Marshal's Office. Wushu was worried that the Southern Dynasty would take advantage of the civil strife in Dajin and take advantage of the victorious Northern Expedition, so he ordered the front line to shrink its defenses. But not all of them retreated, for example, in Zhengzhou, the Jin army strengthened its forces in case the Western army left the tiger prison. In Hezhong Province, Yelu Ma Wu made the east bank of the Pujin pontoon bridge like an iron barrel, and even set up a fence along the river to prevent the western army from crossing the river and advancing eastward.

But Xiao Zhao's official family is not a person who is easily shaken, he still repeatedly ordered all localities to maintain a high degree of vigilance, report to the central government once every ten days if there is nothing to do, and report anything at any time. It wasn't until the end of the New Year that he finally believed that Xu Wei was right. In the first month of the sixth year of Jianwu, the ministers suggested that he change the name of the year to show the sign of renewal, but Zhao Chen did not allow it, he thought that the name of "Jianwu" was very good, and during the Jianwu years, the Song army won one after another, and the name of the year was very auspicious.

At the beginning of the first month, Xijing stayed behind and sentenced Qin Hui of Henan Mansion to play, reporting that the restoration project of the imperial mausoleum in Gongxian County had been completed, and asked the imperial court to send personnel to inspect and accept. Zhao Chen was extremely happy, and informed the Emperor Zhao Huan and Daojun Zhao Ji of the matter, and at the same time sent Li Ruoshui as an envoy to inspect and accept the matter in the western part of the country.

Forbidden, diligent government.

Although spring has begun, there is still some chill in Hangzhou, and there is a stove in the hall to bake the Xuan room warmly. Zhao Chen was dressed in winter clothes and was sitting behind the imperial case and writing hard. His calligraphy is learned by his grandfather Zhao Ji, but he is far from reaching the pen power and style of Daojun. I don't know why, although Zhao Chen was concentrating on reviewing the recital, he often unconsciously smiled on his face.

Shen Xue watched it interestingly next to him, and couldn't help asking, "Official, why are you so happy?" ”

Zhao Chen was stunned: "What? ”

"When the little slave sees the official reviewing the transcript, he often smiles, if he is not overjoyed, how can this be?" Shen Zedao.

When Zhao Chen heard this, he put the pen down, and the smile on his face was even worse. Pushing away the fur covering his legs, he stood up and walked a few steps, and said with a smile: "It has been seventeen years since Daojun Xuan and Song Jin started the war in the seventh year. In the past 17 years, every time Beiyi went south, the city collapsed and the people were displaced, which was an unprecedented change for the founding of our dynasty. And now, the Jin people are actually on the defensive on all fronts, is this a sign that the Jurchens are declining? ”

Shen Xue knew the emperor's mind best, and immediately followed the words: "From the first time the official family ascended to the great treasure, the king has stopped the decline, and in the past few years, he has won successive battles, and Zhongxing is just around the corner. ”

Zhao Chen was overjoyed and said frankly: "After the three emperors and five emperors, there are many saints in China. I am not talented, I dare not be a saint, I hope to leave a pen in the history books, only called 'Zhongxing', I hope it is enough. This heroic Son of Heaven is also practical, not to pursue the so-called "Eternal Sage", but only hopes that when future generations mention him, they will be satisfied with being known as the "King of Zhongxing".

"The official family, there are Zhu Xiang and Huang Xiang in the court, sharing state affairs for the saint, and there are four marshals outside the court, Zhe, He, Zhao, and Xu to lead the royal division. Civil and military side by side, ZTE is not far away! Shen Ze's words were very useful to Zhao Chen. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to start a business, it is not easy to keep it, and ZTE is even more difficult. If the Great Song Dynasty can prosper in the world in my hands, it is worthy of its ancestors and Li Shu, and the emperor is worthy of this, what more can the husband ask for?

"Official, Zhu Xiang and Huang Xiangtang ask to see you outside." A waiter enters the inner report.

Zhao Chen waved his hand: "Xuan." ”

Zhu Shengfei and Huang Qianshan walked in quickly, these two prime ministers are the same age, and they are both over the sixtieth birthday. The resumes are also similar, and they all started from the local area.

"Why did the second secretary come?" Zhao Chen sat back and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the spring ploughing is approaching, and the ministers are discussing, taking this as the first year after the Song-Jin Peace Conference, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be lifted, and the officials should do 'borrowing gifts' to persuade the people to farm and mulberry to lay the foundation of the state." Zhu Shengfei said.

The so-called "borrowing ceremony" means that every spring, the emperor personally or sends a minister to hold a grand ceremony to worship the "Xiannong", that is, the Shennong. In this ceremony, the first part is that the emperor personally supports the plough to show that "the world first cultivates", showing that the emperor and the court attach importance to agriculture and exhort farming.
