Zhao Shu and Zhang Suo were afraid of long nights and dreams, so they began to formally withdraw their troops the day after welcoming back Zhao Huan. Although there were hostages in hand, Wang Heng, the tiger general, still did not dare to be careless, he scattered the scouts for twenty miles, and at the same time ordered a brigade to arrange a cordon at the ferry, and sent a law enforcement team to maintain the order of boarding, and then boarded the ship as a brigade unit, people and weapons, horses are not separated, and once there is a change, you can quickly land on the shore to fight.

The first to board the ship was the artillery brigade, and after they got on board, they quickly set up artillery positions on the transport ship, set up artillery, and used it as a gunboat to carry out the task of guarding the opposite shore, followed by the second brigade, the third brigade, the military brigade, the fourth brigade, the fifth brigade, the sixth brigade and other units. Zhuge Hong, the supervisor of Liaoyang's military affairs, was more careful, he personally led the guards to escort the two princes out of the city, and in order to prevent the Jin army from detecting the specific ship they were on, the group all changed into the clothes of ordinary generals and mixed with the tiger generals and soldiers, so that the spies sent by the Jin army could not be informed.

Just after noon, the whole army had finished boarding, and after the first brigade that served as a guard boarded the ship, Wang Hengcai and the Jin Guozuo Shuai and the deputy envoy Xing Guzhan boarded the boat to shore and 'accompany' the Song army to sail downstream of the river, and they would reach the mouth of the Liao River before the low tide.

Thousands of sails race, hundreds of boats compete for the current. Looking at the situation in front of him, Tuhesu was in a very complicated mood at the moment, he once again saw the quality of the Song army, there were nearly 30,000 defenders in Liaoyang City, and they were evacuated by boat without a trace of chaos, except for the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of the commanding soldiers and officers' orders, they couldn't hear the noise of the soldiers at all, everything was busy but not chaotic, orderly, and they didn't even forget to burn and bury the garbage left before leaving the camp, and it was obvious that they were carrying out evacuation tasks on enemy land.

Tuhe quickly remembered that the Jin Kingdom had invaded Goryeo less than a month ago. The Song army was not surprised to mobilize a large army to land in Goryeo and immediately enter the battle. In addition to sighing, he also felt ashamed, he still had a lot of complaints about the vultures and the Southern Dynasty at any cost. He thought that his actions were not the work of the Jurchen warriors, but now he understood that the army in front of him was no longer something that the Jin army could defeat, and it was not the best choice for the Jin State to achieve peace with the Southern Dynasties......

With a smooth wind and smooth water, the fleet went all the way unimpeded, and in the early morning of the next day, the fleet had sailed out of the Liao River and into Liaodong Bay. The Golden Navy had already been lost in a series of naval battles last year, and now it was impossible to go to sea at all, so it was safe at this time. There is no need to escort him suddenly, so he will be sent ashore before entering the sea, and Xing Guzhan, the deputy envoy of the Jin State Peace Council, still has important matters to do. He continued with the fleet to the Great Song Dynasty.

After the withdrawal fleet was reorganized at sea, it set sail again, and two hours later a fleet suddenly appeared on the horizon in front of the fleet, and the two fleets quickly approached, and it was already clear that more than 100 warships had formed a battle formation. It is like a city floating on the sea. The flag waved. After the two armies were connected, the fleet in front of them raised the full flag, and then the artillery fired eleven times, which marked that Zhao Huan, the Jingkang Emperor who had been traveling north for eleven years, finally returned to the embrace of the Great Song Dynasty!

"Big brother, this is my Great Song Shuijun greeting you and welcoming you back to China!" Seeing that Zhao Huan's face turned pale with fright from the sound of the cannon, Zhao Shu hurriedly explained.

"Fifth brother, are these all my Great Song warships?" Looking at the battleships as tall as mountains, Zhao Huan asked in a trembling voice.

"Exactly. This is the Dengzhou Sailor of the Great Song Water Army! Zhao Shu pointed to the flag and said proudly.

"Oh!" Zhao Huan replied a little absentmindedly, if he had such a fleet in his hands back then, he might not have ended up in a foreign country.

"Last year, I dispatched one of the four water divisions in the Great Song Dynasty. The three naval divisions of Dengzhou, Haizhou, and Mingzhou, carrying the troops of the three generals to aid Goryeo, broke the Jin army under the city of Pyongyang, Xijing, and only killed Liaoyang City; The navy engaged the Jin navy in the Korean Gulf several times, sank and captured more than 500 warships, the Jin navy was almost completely annihilated, and no longer dared to go to sea with a piece of board, this is already the world of my Great Song Dynasty! Zhao Shu pointed to the vast sea and said.

"Alas, it's a pity that Yanjing is still in the hands of the enemy!" Zhao Huan sighed and said after hearing this, but everyone clearly heard the sourness.

"Hehe, the prince is bad!" Zhang Suo was stunned and smiled, it seems that the news that Zhao Huan was imprisoned in the Five Kingdoms City is absolutely unknown to the outside world, "Yanjing was recovered a few years ago, and now the sixteen states of Yanyun have already fallen into my hands!" ”

"Big brother, not only the land of Yanyun, but even the three capitals of Pingzhou, Linhuang and Dading in the Jin Kingdom also belong to the land of our Great Song Dynasty, if it weren't for the return of the eldest brother, Liaoyang would also be our Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Shu added.

"Huh?! My Great Song Junwei is already strong? Zhao Huan was surprised, he didn't expect the situation to have changed so much, when he came out of the Five Kingdoms City, they told him that it was the Great Song Dynasty who took the initiative to negotiate peace and asked for redemption.

"Of course, a few days ago, the Western Expeditionary Army has set out to crusade against Gaochang Kingdom, and it won't be long before Mobei will become the royal land of my Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Shu said proudly.

"The Kamui has come over, let's get ready to change ships!" Zhang said, "This ship is the flagship of my Great Song Dynasty Naval Army, and it is also the ship under His Majesty, and I specially came to greet him!" ”

"Huh!? Well! Zhao Huan's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and then it became gloomy, and he realized that the 'His Majesty' in Zhang's mouth had changed hands, and it was no longer himself.

Cheng Xuan, the commander of the navy, personally crossed the boat to greet Zhao Huan on the Shenwei, and raised two royal flags, after everyone changed their clothes, they set up a guard of honor on the ship, and more than a dozen carrier pigeons took off from the ship and flew west around the fleet. The fleet was reorganized and carried the transport ships of the five armies and some ships to Baozhou, firstly to escort them, and secondly, to prepare to receive the leopard generals and lion generals back to China......

After Zhao Ta learned that the King of Liao and the Tiger General would safely evacuate Liaoyang City to return to China under the reception of the Dengzhou Naval Division, he immediately issued an edict to inform the King of Liao who was traveling north across the country that he would return to China soon, and ordered Li Gang, King Zhao Qi of Jing, Zhao Xu, King of Ji, and Zhao Harmoni, King of Zhongshan County, to go to Dengzhou to welcome King Liao back to Beijing. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry was allocated to build the Liao Wangfu at a site in the capital for his family to live in. Zhao Kaifeng Mansion cleans the streets, builds colorful sheds along the street, and the commercial port puts up lanterns, stands Ao Mountain in front of Xuande Gate, puts it on for five days, welcomes the King of Liao, and celebrates with the people.

The emperor welcomed the return of the King of Liao with great fanfare, and some people praised the emperor for his benevolence and righteousness regardless of his previous suspicions; Some people are indignant, it is really bad luck for the emperor to get back a dead king; There are also people who are worried, worried that the King of Liao will return to the country to seize power, and after a few days of good days, the country may fall into turmoil again; Some people were excited when they heard the news, and they thought that the day had finally come.

It is said that the Emperor Zhao Ji was painting, and after hearing that Song Jin reached a peace agreement and the King of Liao returned to Beijing in a few days, his hand trembled and dripped a huge ink dot to ruin a masterpiece, I don't know whether Lu Dao was worried or excited, the old man did not sleep in the garden for a night. The next morning, without waiting for the emperor to come to ask for peace, he entered the palace, and taught the emperor who had just gotten up a lesson.

As for why the Emperor Taishang made such a big fuss, there are two theories: one is that the Emperor Taishang heard that the emperor was going to relinquish the throne to the King of Liao, and he wanted to return to the countryside to be a free king, and he did not want to ask about the world; Another saying is that the emperor brought the King of Liao back this time to put him to death, in order to avenge the revenge of being forced to go away from other countries that day, and now making such a big pomp is just to cover people's eyes, the emperor heard that he entered the palace and scolded the emperor for fratricidal, disloyal and unjust.

The two theories are widely circulated in Beijing, but people overwhelmingly believe that the first one is the most credible, which is not only in line with the emperor's character, but also his consistent style. And the Emperor Taishang passed the throne to the King of Liao because of 'accident', resulting in the destruction of his family, if he was not saved by the emperor, I am afraid that he would not have the happy life he has now.

Occasionally, someone mentions the second statement, and it will be attacked by the crowd immediately, and the things of the year are obvious to all, the King of Liao is really not authentic, but if the emperor wants to harm him, why bother to get him back from the hands of the Jin State, let him die there and bear one less charge. As for the Emperor Taishang's scolding of the emperor for this, it is even more nonsense, who doesn't know that the King of Liao Dao imprisoned the Emperor Taishang back then, and later caused the father and son to turn against each other in order to fight for power, is the Emperor Taishang old and confused, and he still wants to be a prisoner if he has a good life!

"The emperor is going to give way to the king of Liao" only seems to have become the only correct solution, and began to spread widely, and even rumored that the lords of Western Xia and Dali have sent an invitation to the emperor to go to their own country to live in seclusion, and the emperor's generals have proposed to go into seclusion with the emperor, accompany him to laugh proudly, and travel all over the world.

The more the abdication was spread, the more true it became, causing extreme uneasiness in the government and the opposition. And the first to 'rise up' were the merchants, they were the biggest profiteers of the emperor's opening of the sea to trade, of course, the reaction was also the strongest, the major tooth shops in Beijing jointly wrote to the emperor that he could not give way to the abolition of the emperor, so that the people fell into fire and water again. The students of Guozijian immediately responded, and once again staged the matter of 'Fu Que Shangshu', they made speeches everywhere in Beijing, and their rhetoric became more intense, and they counted the mistakes of the domestic and foreign policies of the abolition of the emperor, which eventually led to the occurrence of Jingkang's shame.

As soon as the wind of writing was opened, it was irrepressible, and it also spread from the business world and Shilin to all walks of life and state capitals, and even the government and the army were also affected. What made Xu Jingheng even more nervous was that the students of Guozijian actually mobilized students from various state and county schools to intercept the Liao king's road to Beijing and 'persuade' him to give up the throne......
