Zhao Ji is already an old man over half a hundred years old, but judging from his appearance alone, he is no different from a person around forty years old, and his son Zhao Huan next to him looks older than him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was the first time in many years that father and son had met.

Although after the change of Wen Weishen, Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou were sent to Jeju, but during that time, Zhao Ji took the initiative to go to Liuqiu, and after returning to the Five Kingdoms City, he refused to see Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou, and until today, he let his former prince come to see him.

"Father's ......"

Zhao Huan was full of resentment, looking at his father, when the emperor's father and son met, there was not much friendship, only mutual anger.

"You have said many times that you want to see me, what is the matter with seeing me?" Zhao Ji asked coldly.

"Does Father regret it today?"

Zhao Ji knows what Zhao Huan is referring to, Zhou Quan can have today, it is inseparable from Zhao Ji's original indulgence, if this kid killed him when he was just selling popsicles in Bianjing, where would there be so many things?

"I once regretted it, but after the Jin people went south and you forced Li Gang to fail in his rash attack, I don't regret it as a father, not only do I not regret it, but I am secretly happy." Zhao Ji replied.

Zhao Huan was stunned: "Father...... What do you mean by that? ”

"Our father and son are smart people, but not all smart people are suitable to be emperors, at the beginning Zhang Dian said that I was frivolous, not enough to inherit the unification, it turned out that what he said was right. If I were still the Son of Heaven and there was no Zhou Quan, I would connive at Zhu Mian, Tong Guan and others, and there would be a defeat in Hebei. Either the Jin people, or the Liao people, still have to go south, at that time, my only strategy, is the same Zen position for you, and your temperament, the surface forbearance, the actual stubbornness, will also be cut off Li Gang such a loyal minister, you will treat your father and me as the biggest opponent, but take the foreign race of the southern invasion lightly, and our father and son will be prisoners under the order. Since they are all prisoners of the ranks, it is much better to be a prisoner of Zhou Quan than to be a foreigner, at least Zhou Quan can allow me to live, and even allow me a certain degree of freedom, such as I can write books, I can go to the flow and play......"

Zhao Ji really sees it now.

Jeju and Liuqiu, the two places went around, and then recalled Bianjing under his rule, he knew very well that the gap between himself and Zhou Quan was so big that even he couldn't catch up. With Zhou Quan's means, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty was in his hands, and it wouldn't be long before it would be like this, and Zhao Ji would die of his heart.

really died, and then carefully scrutinized, Zhao Ji felt a little emotional in his heart.

He was placed under house arrest in the Five Kingdoms City, but except for the Great Song Dynasty, as long as he wanted to go anywhere else, he applied to Zhou Quan, and after Zhou Quan approved, he would arrange for him to go. Zhou Quan will subsidize all the expenses on the way there, and even intends to let him get in touch with the people at the bottom to understand the real situation in the world.

This kind of mind, this kind of bearing, this kind of measure...... Zhao Ji thought a little unfilial that among his ancestors and ancestors, Song Taizong was far from being compared, and Song Taizu was reluctant to compare.

"You were bought by Zhou Thief with such a small favor? Father, you are really a faint king, how could the rivers and mountains of the ancestors and ancestors reach you! ”

In just a few words, their father and son quarreled, where can Zhao Huan listen to others praising Zhou Quan's goodness, not to mention, the one who praises Zhou Quan is still his father!

"Okay, the ancestors and the ancestors of the country, at least did not die in my hands, the last emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is you, not me, if there are still people to compile history in the future, I will be a faint monarch at most, but not the king of the dead country!" Zhao Ji snorted dissatisfiedly.

What kind of son did he give birth to, why can't he give birth to someone like Zhou Quan?

"You...... What face will you face when you will go to your fathers and fathers? ”

"What I'm thinking about now is, what face to see Zhou Quan now, because of the stupidity of you and Brother Jiu'er, my old father has to find a way to buy your life!" Zhao Ji snorted.

Zhao Huan was stunned: "He...... He wants to kill me? ”

In Zhao Huan's opinion, Zhou Quan didn't kill Zhao Ji, didn't kill Yelu Yanxi, and didn't even kill Yan Agu - this guy died of illness by himself, so if he was brought to Jeju, he should be under house arrest, just like Zhao Ji.

"I didn't want to kill Zhou Quan, of course he didn't want to kill me, and I was the outdated emperor, no one listened to what he said, you are different, you can still have loyal ministers to serve you in the palace under house arrest." Zhao Ji's words were sarcastic: "The stupidest is naturally Brother Jiu'er, he is also the most greedy, if he doesn't want your throne and be a regent honestly, even if my Great Song Dynasty dies, he will still have his wealth?" ”

"Zhou Quan wants to kill me, Zhou Quan wants to kill me?" Zhao Huan didn't pay attention to Zhao Gou's life and death at all, he just thought about this matter.

He even thought of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Song Taizu was polite to Li Yu, but when Song Taizong arrived, Li Yu was sad, and there were even rumors that his wife Xiao Zhou was also humiliated by Song Taizong.

When Zhao Huan thought of this, he was furious, his queen was also sent to Jeju, and Zhou Quan was famous for being lustful again!

He was thinking about despicable things in his heart, but Zhao Ji didn't know it, so he snorted again, Zhao Ji said: "In order to save your lives, my father can only take out his own moisturizing pen, hum, it's going to be a tight day for some time......"

Only then did Zhao Huan understand: "What? ”

"Don't you read the newspaper? I don't believe it, Zhou Quan won't let you read the newspaper! Zhao Ji said dissatisfiedly: "It's not Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu put you under house arrest in the deep palace, but it's really possible not to give you news from the outside, Zhou Quan is not this kind of person!" ”

"What's in the newspapers?" Zhao Huan was disgusted with all the new things that Zhou Quan made, so he really didn't pay attention to the newspaper.

"Zhou Quan is going to carry out a 'burning expedition', in order to save you, I will donate all the money I have accumulated in the past few years to this expedition!"

"The burning expedition, what kind of thing is that, could it be that Zhou Quan's gang is going to be ruthless again?" Zhao Huan exclaimed.

"A burning crusade?"

It wasn't just Zhao Huan who was surprised, he was far away in Xijing, and when Zong Ze saw these five words, his expression was slightly solemn.

Now Zong Ze has been appointed by Zhao Shu, the regent of the Great Song Dynasty, to stay in Xijing, specifically responsible for stabilizing the hearts of the people in Luoyang, and at the same time cooperating with Yue Fei to sweep away the remnants of Western Xia. Although Zong and Yue are very different in age, because they are both close to Zhou Quan, they cooperate very well, and Yue Fei's move to sweep the desert is also smoother.

At this time, Yue Fei was in Xijing, preparing to respond to Tianfu, and asked Zhou Quan for advice on the next strategy in person, so he sat in front of Zong Ze.

Zong Ze raised his head and looked at Yue Fei, with an appreciative smile on his face: "Pengju and Zhou Gong have been together for a long time, do you know what Zhou Gong's burning expedition means?" ”

Yue Fei's expression was cold and he nodded: "In fact, when I received the report on Song Xingfeng's case, my brother talked about the Burning Expedition in his letter to me......"

Thinking of Zhou Quan's words at that time, Yue Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and then continued: "Therefore, I somewhat understand my brother's thinking. ”

"Oh?"

In Yue Fei's view, Zhou Quan's idea is to transfer domestic contradictions abroad.

The conspiracy of Wen Weishen and others can be regarded as a counterattack of the old domestic forces, to solve this contradiction, Zhou Quan used the polemic of the country, this trick is really smart, not only to focus the attention of all the old scholars, but also to make them consciously or unconsciously to study the real learning. With the vastness and profundity of practical learning, these people will soon become addicted to it. As for those who are not interested in practical learning and have to hold on to their shortcomings, they now have no time to hinder Zhou Quan's plan to stand on the Song Dynasty's self-reliance, they are busy arguing in the city of Yingtian University, and different factions within themselves are fighting.

Song Xingfeng's rebellion was the result of the rise of the military leaders within the Huaxia Army. No matter how perfect the system is, there are gaps to drill, so the Huaxia army still has formed a military head force, but there is no extreme force like Song Xingfeng. But except for Yue Fei, almost all the military leaders hope to fight, make meritorious contributions, and be rewarded, and if they can't start a war externally, then they have to think about what way to make meritorious service and be rewarded internally. The "burning expedition" is to divert their attention and set their eyes on external expansion.

The petty tricks of the rich second generation such as Shen Shiyi are an attempt by monopoly capital within the Chinese system to seek political power. On the surface, it's just Shen Shiyi and other younger generations' nonsense, but Shen Fatzi really doesn't know anything about Shen Shiyi's words and deeds? Meng Guang really didn't know anything about what his son Meng Shen was doing? They were not satisfied with the political positions that Zhou Quan had given them in the Privy Council and the Chinese Academy, they also needed more power to ensure that they had greater wealth, and that this wealth would last for generations to come. The "Burning Expedition" was also prepared for them, investing their excessive funds, manpower and energy into foreign colonization.

"This ...... This...... Is King Ji really thinking so? After Zong Ze listened to Yue Fei's conjecture, his first thought was absurd.

"Judging from the letter he gave me, that's exactly what he thought." Yue Fei's face was also a little bitter.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous...... What is his reason, it stands to reason that he should not have done such a reckless military thing! ”

"It's not a lot of force, he said that not only will this one not be a loss, but he may also make a lot of money......"

Zhou Quan's reason is that the previous change of dynasty in China was the result of intensified internal contradictions. When all the means of the imperial court are unable to resolve the internal contradictions, a civil war will break out, and the contradictions will be eliminated by the cruel way of the death of a large number of people, the demise of the old regime, or the dying.

Now the same is true, according to the old law, Zhou Quan should use a war to destroy everything that stands in his way and destroy all the enemies.

But the person killed is a Chinese person after all.

Including Wen Weishen, Song Xingfeng, and Shen Shiyi, they deserved to die for their crimes, but Zhou Quan still felt a little regretful, they could have died in expanding the territory for China and gaining living space for their descendants, instead of dying in infighting.

"Therefore, if my brother wants to launch this expedition, it will be like burning the wasteland, and the ambitions of these people will burn magnificently, and the land they pass through will be fertile soil that can be cultivated by the hundreds of millions of Chinese people in the future!" When Yue Fei said this, he raised his head and looked at Zong Ze: "He also said to me, now in the world, I am the only one in China, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't do it because of the kindness of the woman, future generations will inevitably regret it, regret it, and even pay the price of countless blood!" ”

"As for his own benevolent reputation, which burns out like the ambitions of these people, he will not hesitate to do so!"
