"The ports are all frozen, aren't there still a few ice-free ports?" Zhao Yan asked anxiously, he had prepared everything here, and was preparing to go north to rescue Yang Huaiyu's army, but he didn't expect to receive news at this time that the north had encountered a heavy snowstorm that had been rare in a century, and the temperature dropped rapidly, making all the ports along the northern coast frozen.

"Your Highness Qiqi, we have also sent people to explore the coastal ports you mentioned, and in previous years, these ports would indeed not be frozen, but this year it was too cold, so the open sea of those ports was also frozen!" The retribution spoke again.

Before, Zhao Yan was also worried that the ports in the north would freeze in winter, but he knew that there were also several ice-free ports in the north, such as Dalian, Lushun, and Qinhuangdao, among which Qinhuangdao was very close to Zhongjing in Liao, and if it landed from there, it would soon threaten the heartland of Liao.

"It's too bad, the port is frozen, how can our ship dock?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but say anxiously again when he heard this, he didn't calculate that God didn't help, and at this critical moment, he overshadowed Da Song, if Yang Huaiyu's army was wiped out because of their untimely rescue, then he would definitely feel guilty for a lifetime.

Seeing Zhao Yan's anxious appearance, Xu Yuan next to him smiled calmly, waved his hand to let all the irrelevant people go down, and then smiled at Zhao Yan: "Third brother don't worry too much, last time Yang Huaiyu sent someone to ask for help, although Yelu Renxian began to attack Gubeikou, he couldn't take advantage of it at all, and now that this heavy snowstorm is falling, it will definitely make the Liao army suspend its attack." In addition, the Liao army camped in the field, but Yang Huaiyu and they lived in the city, so the worse the weather, the greater the impact on the Liao army, I estimate that under the influence of this heavy snowstorm, the Liao army will not want to attack Gubeikou again within a month. ”

Hear Xu Yuan's analysis. Zhao Yan finally came to his senses, he only considered the impact of this cold wave on himself, but he didn't expect that under this cold wave, the Liao army would not want to attack Gubeikou again, which would buy Yang Huaiyu and himself a lot of time, at least there should be no problem in the short term.

Thinking of the above, Zhao Yan finally calmed down, sat down and took a sip of tea, then turned his head to Xu Yuan and said, "Brother Xu." Now that the port is frozen, what do you think we should do next, we can't just wait, right? ”

"Of course you can't wait like this, first of all, the third brother, you have to write a letter to Your Majesty to explain, otherwise those ministers in the court will definitely quarrel, and the other third brother can also ask Your Majesty for instructions to transfer our army to Hangzhou to quell the rebellion, although Guo Kui fought very smoothly. But Manichaeism has developed in the local area for many years, and the stone Buddha is also very cunning. I have not been fighting Guo Kui's army head-on, and I am worried that something will happen, so I will pacify Manichaeism as soon as possible. Xu Yuan frowned at this time and said, their Yin Hades Division had also had some intersections with Manichaeism before, so he also knew more about Manichaeism, although now the rebellious momentum of Manichaeism has been suppressed. But he always felt a little uneasy.

Hearing Xu Yuan mention that he would take advantage of this time to help Guo Kui exterminate Manichaeism, Zhao Yan thought for a moment and nodded, originally according to his previous estimate, Guo Kui could pacify Manichaeism in two months at most, but now two months have passed. The Manichaean rebels are still fleeing in all directions, although Guo Kui divided his troops to intercept them, but every time he let the other party escape, which has caused a huge disaster to the people in Hangzhou, after all, the rebels are burning and looting everywhere, and even holding the people hostage, although there is no statistics yet, but according to the news obtained by Zhao Yan, it is estimated that more than 100,000 people have died in this rebellion, and hundreds of thousands of people have been homeless because of this rebellion,

"Okay, I'll write a letter to my eldest brother, hoping that this rebellion can be quelled as soon as possible, so that the 30,000 Western Army under Guo Kui can also return to the northwest as soon as possible and quell the rebellion of Western Xia there!" Zhao Yan immediately nodded and said, this year's Great Song Dynasty is in an eventful season, and the situation in the south and northwest is not very stable, fortunately, there is no chaos in the state capital near the capital, otherwise the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty will really be shaken.

Zhao Yan's letter was quickly sent to the capital, when Zhao Yan on the hospital bed received Zhao Yan's letter after reading it, but he coughed violently again, since the last time he was angry and vomited blood, his body was not as good as before, and then he was hit continuously, making him sick, and now he can't go to court for half a month in a month, originally he thought that Zhao Yan sent troops to quickly save Yang Huaiyu's army, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of rare cold wave in a hundred years, which made the coast freeze, Zhao Yan's warship couldn't dock at all, let alone rescue.

"Could it be that I am really a faint monarch without a way, so that the heavens sent disasters one after another to punish my Great Song?" Zhao Ji gently put Zhao Yan's letter on the head of the bed, stared at the curtain above his head with blank eyes and said to himself, first the great drought that swept the country before, and now he has encountered this kind of great cold wave that is rare in a century, even if Zhao Ji does not believe in the destiny of heaven, he can't help but have some doubts about himself at this time.

"How can Your Majesty say anything, others may not know, but the concubines know that Your Majesty has worked hard day and night for my Great Song Dynasty, and now her body is exhausted, if an emperor like Your Majesty is a faint monarch without a way, but there is no good emperor in the past dynasties!" At this time, Queen Xiang, who was taking care of Zhao Ji on the side, heard his words, but she wiped her tears and comforted, seeing that Zhao Ji's condition did not improve at all, she, as a wife, was also heartbroken, and even wished that she could be sick instead of Zhao Ji.

Hearing his wife's words, Zhao Ji finally turned his head to look at Queen Xiang with tears on her face, and her heart softened at the moment, she reached out to hold her hand and said softly: "Queen don't worry, although my condition has recurred during this time, my body I know that it won't take long to recover!" ”

Empress Xiang saw that Zhao Ji comforted herself very rarely, and she was also moved in her heart at the moment, and she held back her tears and said: "Your Majesty is blessed with Qitian, the condition will definitely improve slowly, although there is some turmoil in various places, but as long as Your Majesty is there, then our Great Song Dynasty will not have any big mess, if Your Majesty is still not at ease, it is better to transfer King Yue back from Guangzhou, and then there will be King Yue sitting in the court, and it will also reduce some burden on Your Majesty!" ”

"Huh~" Zhao Ji was also stunned when he heard the last proposal to the queen, and then said to himself with an excited look on his face, "Why didn't I think that the situation in various places is unstable now, my health is not very good, and several ministers in the court are not in unison, and they are always pulling skin in the court, if the third brother can come back, his prestige is enough to suppress those people, and I don't have to be unable to recuperate with peace of mind because of all kinds of troubles like now." ”

Queen Xiang rarely paid attention to the affairs of the court, just now she just casually said to let Zhao Yan come back, but she didn't expect Zhao Yan to take it seriously, but now think about it carefully, if Zhao Yan can come back, her husband can indeed recuperate with peace of mind, which also makes her very happy.

Next, Xiang Jie accompanied Zhao Ji to talk again, and then got up to leave, because Zhao Ji ordered someone to summon Lu Huiqing and other four ministers to discuss the matter, and it was naturally inconvenient for her to participate as a woman.

"See Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty's dragon body is okay?" After Lu Huiqing and the others entered Zhao Ji's bedroom, they immediately saluted Zhao Ji, and they were also very concerned about Zhao Ji's condition, after all, this year was an eventful year in the Great Song Dynasty, if Zhao Ji fell down due to illness again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It will take some time for my body to recover, and I have worked hard for you during this time!" Zhao Ji sat up as straight as possible, then picked up the letter from Zhao Yan next to him and said, "This is a letter sent by King Yue, because the weather is too cold, and the ports along the northern coast are frozen, so his warships can't go to rescue Yang Huaiyu's army, but King Yue proposed to take advantage of this time to assist Guo Kui in clearing out Manichaeism, I don't know what you think?"
