After a month of tossing, the preliminary planning for the emperor's wedding has finally entered the countdown stage.

Sun Fu specially rushed to report to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, your wedding ceremony, the ministers and colleagues have completed the planning, and now I am here to report to you, please decide!" ”

"Aiqing has worked hard, let's talk about it briefly!" Zhao Zhen pointed to the chair next to him.

After Sun Fu sat down, he took out the booklet from his arms: "Back to the emperor, according to the big wedding festival, the previous steps have been completed, and this final wedding is left." In addition, considering that it takes a lot of time to prepare for the wedding and entertain the guests, the minister recommends setting this time in the autumn, just before the imperial examination, so that those scholars who go to Beijing to take the exam will be happy, what do you think? ”

"Good, good! Aiqing is doing things, I am very relieved, so let's do it! As for the specific operation, Aiqing will make up her own mind, and if there is anything that needs me to come forward, tell me! ”

"Emperor Xie, the minister must do his best!"

"It's still early, let's put it aside. Today I want to talk to you about another matter, I heard that Aiqing's return journey to Liao was not smooth last year, and I will talk about it in detail. ”

"Your Majesty, isn't it a bit of a bad thing to say at this time?" Thinking of the situation at that time, Sun Fu was also very sad, but he didn't think it was a big deal, the country didn't die a few soldiers in a year, there was no need to make the emperor unhappy about it.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" If a country wants to be strong, the people must have strong self-confidence and self-esteem, just like if we don't have a sense of shame, then there is no motivation to move forward. Our nation, our people, have gone through too many hardships and wars since ancient times. Those years of low human life left a deep imprint in their hearts, and if my Great Song Dynasty wanted to reorganize the Han and Tang dynasties, we had to first arouse their arrogance that they were not afraid of fighting and could not be suppressed. ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Sun Fu praised from the bottom of his heart, in his opinion, compared with the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, both the army and the people were less courageous. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, whether they won or lost, felt that they were showing their knives to all provocative forces, but the Song Dynasty was too weak.

Although literati like to shout in their mouths to convince people with reason and repay grievances with virtue, if they can let others obey without reasoning, who wants to lick their faces and talk to others for a long time?

Then, Sun Fu told Zhao Zhen about his experience on the way back to Beijing, especially when it came to the period of distress, the soldiers still fought tenaciously in the face of several times stronger enemies, and the situation of fighting to the death seemed to appear in front of his eyes again......

Sun Fu lived up to his title of "Mr. Song Chusan", his commentary was lively and incisive, which made Zhao Zhen have an immersive feeling, and his blood was pounding when he heard it: "Good, very good!" They didn't lose my face as a big song, they were a good boy in my big song! These sacrificed soldiers are not a trivial matter, and I want to publicize their spirit of fighting bravely and not being afraid of sacrifice, and I will also carry out a campaign to learn from them throughout the army. In short, I want to use this incident to regain a trace of self-esteem of the people of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty, don't do it!" Sun Fu heard Zhao Zhen's meaning and wanted to make a big move again, and as soon as he collected his tears, he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Aiqing, why is that? Didn't you agree with my idea just now? Zhao Zhen asked with two red eyes.

"Your Majesty, the minister does agree with your point of view, but this matter is in a hurry! If you suddenly elevate the status of a soldier in such a way, it will inevitably arouse the opposition of the ministers and the soldiers of the world, and it may backfire! Sun Fu persuaded bitterly, although he also knew that his master was not a child who listened to persuasion, but what the minister should do had to do.

"Aiqing's words are level, it is indeed inappropriate to rashly raise the status of soldiers, and there must be a process for everyone, including themselves, to adapt to this change. Let's look at it like this, draw a special open space in the royal garden, bury the remains of the soldiers there, and deal with it if there are soldiers who die in battle in the future. These soldiers all sacrificed their lives for my Great Song Dynasty, and I wonder if the ministers shouldn't react too much, right? "Zhao Zhen wants to get a monument to the people's heroes directly, but who knows what those guys with brains full of paper will do. Besides, the whole thing is too advanced, maybe the soldiers themselves can't figure it out.

Is the sun coming out in the west today? While Sun Fu was puzzled, he didn't forget to send a sycophant: "The emperor is shengming!" ”

"Alright! Aiqing go get busy! I have my own plans for this! ”

"Obey the order!"

After Sun Fu left, Zhao Zhen waved back to the empty hall and asked, "What information has been sent back from the secret disk sent to the Liao State?" ”

"Back to the emperor, according to the secret disc report, the emperor of Liao was also very angry when he learned that our embassy was attacked, and he has mobilized the army to suppress the bandits, and now it is not sure why those bandits are crazy to attack our embassy, and the secret disc is still being investigated." A cold voice came from the corner of the main hall, seemingly without a trace of emotion.

"Order the secret disc to step up the investigation, if you can find out the reason, it is the best, even if you can't find it, make sure that they are all exterminated, so as to comfort me that the Great Song soldiers are in the spirit of the sky!" Investigating cases is a very difficult job these days, not to mention that in other countries, there are fewer resources that can be used, and Zhao Zhen is not easy to force anything.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a brief conversation, the hall fell silent again, and there was no other sound except for the sound of Zhao Zhen's writing.

A few days later, Zhao Zhen took Shen Zhongyuan and his two men, as well as the three surviving soldiers, to a wasteland in the royal garden on the outskirts of Beijing. At this moment, there are more than a dozen new graves on the wasteland, all of which are stone monuments, and cigarette smoke rises in front of them......

"Zhong Yuan, I heard that you were injured on this trip to Liao, how is the situation now?" Zhao Zhen slowly browsed through all the tombstones before asking Shen Zhongyuan.

"Thank you for your concern! The minister was wounded by an arrow, so he's fine! Look at ......," Shen Zhongyuan said, waving his arm.

"That's good! How many of you are? Zhao Zhen asked the other soldiers.

The two brocade guards were a little better, and they followed Shen Zhongyuan's example to prove to Zhao Zhen that they were fine. But the three soldiers were still tied with gauze, and they couldn't prove that they were okay, so they just knelt on the ground and cried.

"Hurry up! I told you a long time ago, don't kneel at every turn, forget the military salute I gave you! Zhao Zhen and Shen Zhongyuan helped the three of them up together.

"I haven't forgotten my humble duties! This is kneeling in place of the seventeen brothers lying here, thank you for your kindness! You ask how the injury is, and if you can tell you it's okay, you don't have to worry about it! But you can't lie to you! Even so, as long as you have orders, even if we are covered with injuries, we can still go back and forth in the sea of swords and fire! One of the slightly injured soldiers waved his intact left arm and said angrily, while the other two nodded in agreement, leaving tears in their eyes.

"Wow...... You are all worthy of the title of my Great Song elite! Rest assured, I have sent a note to the Liao Kingdom, telling them to exterminate these bandits and avenge you and the soldiers lying here! Even if the Liao State fails to exterminate them, I will give you an explanation! ”

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness!"

"Go back and recuperate, and if you have any difficulties, tell your superiors, or you can come to me." Zhao Zhen softly comforted the three soldiers, turned back to the two brocade guards and said, "Send them back for me!" ”

"Obedience!"

The two brocade guards supported the reluctant three soldiers and walked away slowly with staggering steps......

Zhao Zhen looked at their distant backs and took a deep breath: "One day, I want to let all the people in the world who dare to stretch out their hands to my Great Song understand a truth - those who offend my Great Song Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

"I am willing to smear your majesty's liver and brain, and I will never give up!" Shen Zhongyuan knelt heavily on the ground, and his gaze at Zhao Zhen became more and more determined, this was the first time he knelt in front of Zhao Zhen after becoming the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Zhao Zhen helped him up, patted his arm, and didn't say anything, the two of them looked at each other and nodded in unison, even if a thousand words were gathered in this silence.

When the three soldiers spread the feelings they had seen that day in the army, the incomprehensible morale seemed to have changed, and there seemed to be a sense of anger between the eyebrows of the soldiers who had been dead and silent in the past, and of course there was a ripple in their hearts.

Zhao Zhen is still unknown about the subtle changes in the military camp, since he ascended the throne, he has spent more time dealing with political affairs, and the military camp has hardly set foot in it.

It didn't take long for news to come from the secret disk of the Liao State, and Zhao Zhong immediately reported to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, our people have sent the news, the Liao State has not done its best to suppress the bandits this time, although the bandits on Ma Meng Mountain have suffered heavy losses, but only the horse bandits who attacked our mission have escaped." It is said that this group of horse bandits was originally the largest group of Ma Mengshan, their boss nicknamed 'black-hearted eagle', this person is ruthless, cunning, when attacking our embassy, he was also hit by our soldiers a major blow, lost more than 300 men, he took the remnants of about 700 men to move in advance, so he escaped the Liao country's bandit action. However, our secret saucer has already found their hiding place, and we are waiting for your orders! ”

"This guy's life is quite big! I heard that this time the Emperor of Liao felt that he had lost face in front of us, so he mobilized a lot of soldiers to participate in the suppression of bandits, including his guards, so that this eagle could still run away, and we can't underestimate it! Zhao Zhen listened to Zhao Zhong's report while checking his map, but it was just a simple hand-drawn, and no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see Huahua.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by ......"

"I promised the surviving soldiers that even if the Liao State was ineffective in suppressing the bandits, I would like them to give an explanation to the dead soldiers, and this group of horse bandits must die! I want to use their heads to pay tribute to the spirits of my Great Song soldiers in the sky! ”

"But...... However, this Ma Mengshan is thousands of miles away from us, and it is far away in the territory of Liao, so I am afraid that I have more than enough strength but not enough strength! ”

"I'm worried about that, too! Maybe when you see that this is me playing tricks, I don't deny that I have to go on an expedition for the sake of a dozen soldiers. But I want to tell the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty through this incident, no matter where they are bullied, I will not abandon them, this is very beneficial to the cohesion of the army's military spirit, you are also born in the army, I don't need to say more about this! ”

"Save it! In ancient times, a strong army must have a military soul, which is an eternal truth. However, you also know the current situation, if we send troops to suppress the bandits, not to mention that the Liao State does not agree, even the ministers of our court will not agree to the emperor, you will clash with the Liao State in order to avenge these dozen soldiers, right? Zhao Zhong also came to Zhao Zhen from the place where he should be hiding, and compared the distance between the two places on the map.

"Who said I was going to conflict with Liao? Until the reorganization of our DPRK army is completed, we must do our best to maintain the status quo and this peaceful situation. Although we can't do it openly, but secretly and quietly kill this group of horse bandits, as long as no one else finds out, who can say anything? ”

"Secretly?"

"Forgot what my special forces team do?"

"I understand! However, there are 700 people on the other side, and maybe there will be more in the future, and it is not appropriate for us to go less, and it is easy to be found when we go more, which is not easy to do! ”

"Going deep behind enemy lines and conducting special operations is the original intention of the special combat team. This mission is also a test of how strong their combat effectiveness is, and I am sure that they will not disappoint me! ”

"I think it's a difficult thing for them to go over, but if you take the big road, their weapons are not easy to get through, you don't plan to let them go all the way over the mountains and mountains to lurk past!"

"This Rong Zhen is thinking about it, and I also want to hear the opinions of the special combat personnel. You go and go about your own work first, and I'll go to the barracks now. ”

"Yes!"

After Zhao Zhong retreated, Zhao Zhen asked Xiao Shunzi to come in and change his clothes for him, and then drove to the barracks.
