The matter was urgent, Zong Ze regardless of his age, the group was fast and rushed to the north, marching more than 100 miles a day, and arrived at the foot of Zhongshan City after five days, when he saw the banner of the Great Song Dynasty fluttering at the head of the city, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and there were colleagues who refused to submit to the Jurchens like him.

At this time, Zhongshan was already the same again, the vehicles in the city were coming and going, a large number of grain and grass were transported into the city, and the camp outside the city stretched for several miles, which was very majestic. Knowing that the deputy marshal had arrived, Chen Yu hurriedly went out of the city to greet him, and the two sides saluted each other.

"Zong Shuai, this is Zhao Er, the leader of Hebei Taihang's righteous bravery!" Chen Yu led Zong Ze to introduce the generals in Dingzhou City, walked up to Zhao Ta and said.

"Qin... His Royal Highness the King of Qin! Zong Ze looked at Zhao Ta, and the other party also looked at him with a smile, he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, and thought that he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously and exclaimed, Chen Yu didn't know Zhao Ta, but Zong Ze did, and he was quite familiar!

"Zong Shuai, what's going on?" Chen Yu was stunned by Zong Ze's words, and hurriedly asked.

"Lord Chen, no wonder you Zhongshan can do this, it turns out that you have the help of King Qin!" Zong Ze looked at Chen Yu and said enviously.

"Master Zong, it's been two years since Cizhou, and it's always been good!" Zhao Ta saw that he was recognized, and he no longer hid his identity, so he smiled and said.

"It's... Brother Wang, what the hell is going on? Chen Yu saw that Zhao Er calmly confessed, which made him even more confused, and he asked Wang Jin who was standing on the side.

"Don't blame my brother, Mr. Zhao Er is my second prince of the Great Song Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and this time he sent troops only to expel the Jurchens, because it was about war. That's why I hid my identity! Wang Jin explained with a smile.

"Xiaguan see His Royal Highness King Qin!" Chen Yu confirmed from Wang Jin that what Zong Ze said was true, although he still had doubts about King Qin's resurrection. But he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted.

"Lord Chen doesn't have to be formal. This place is not a place to live, let's talk about it in the city! Zhao Ta said that he had given him a gift in the past two days, and today he could be regarded as getting back some face...

Chen Yu set up a banquet in the palace for Zong Ze to catch the wind and wash the dust, but at this time, he could only give the first place to the prince, but he was still embarrassed in his heart.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials really didn't know the identity of the prince before, please forgive me for the neglect, please move to the mansion to live today!" Three rounds of drinking. After the five flavors of the dish, Chen Yu personally made amends for his sins.

"Hehe, no need, I live well in the Immortal Concept, and besides, it's my territory!" Zhao said with a smile.

"Lord Chen, you... You let His Royal Highness King Qin live in the concept of immortality, Ha Lu Ha! Zong Ze looked at Chen Yu and asked, seeing him nodding, he couldn't help but laugh. Interesting, really interesting, since there is a prince in the view, haven't you recognized it yet? ”

"Zong Shuai. Where have the craftsmen who cultivated the statue seen the real body of the prince, they all relied on imagination to mess around, how could they be compared! Chen Yu blushed and shook his head with a bitter smile. I made a big joke this time, but I blamed myself for making it bigger. thought that although he was weak, he was an official after all. No matter how powerful the righteous and brave are, they have to obey their own leadership, there are many soldiers that day, lack of barracks, and they still look at Wang Jin's sake, so that he can live in the concept of immortality in a cloth cloth, and now I think about it, I really don't know Mount Tai!

And the next topic is naturally how Zhao Ta 'came back to life'. Zhao Ta knew that as soon as he moved, this question could not be avoided, so he had already thought of an excuse, of course, these things had to be taken care of by God, and the explanation of the cloud mountain fog cover was explained. There have long been rumors in the government and the opposition that King Qin has the ability of gods and ghosts, but he is unpredictable and has the ability to fly to the sky, and everyone believes it, and Zhao Ta has covered up this history!

After a few words of gossip, the topic naturally turned to the most important thing at present, Zong Ze came from the front and was most familiar with the situation, and the people in the hall heard that the second emperor was going north under the coercion of the Jurchens, and the generalissimo's mansion was afraid of the enemy and refused to send troops, and they were all indignant, but they all understood Zhao Gou's thoughts, and they wanted to use this to be the emperor. I thought it was not bad, the Zhao family only had such a bloodline left, and it was who else I was, but now that King Qin appeared, things seem to have taken a turn for the better!

Before Zong Ze set off, he received a letter from Generalissimo Zhao Gou, in which he clearly explained the reason for his escape, which boiled down to the fact that his subordinates did not let him fight hard, otherwise he would have "taken the lead, turned against Hu with his hand, and anointed the grass and wilderness to save his father." He also vaguely mentioned what he was going back to do, "It is said that the ancestor Deze, the Lord is benevolent and holy, the subjects are restored, and the will of heaven has not changed." ”

The central meaning is that the people are still the people of the Song Dynasty, and the only legitimate heir of the Song Dynasty is him, Zong Ze, do you know what to do? Everyone knows what to do, this is the olive branch that Zhao Gou took the initiative to shake to Zong Ze, this kind of persuasion at this moment is the icing on the cake in the snow, and it can easily ensure the glory and wealth of a lifetime, which is what every officialdom dreams of.

But when Zong Ze received this letter, he felt greasy in his heart. He has never done the so-called "icing on the cake" in his life, he is seventy years old, and the reason why he has been living aggrieved is because he works against the entire officialdom, does not sycophant, does not slap horses, does not conform to dirt, does not deceive others and deceives himself.

However, reality requires that he must cooperate with Zhao Gou. Because there are only two choices in front of him: one is to choose Zhao Gou; The second is to elect Zhang Bangchang. But is there a choice? In addition to one or one, even if he knows the essence of Zhao Gou, he has to support it as soon as possible. And at this time, a Qin prince fell from the sky, which gave him another choice...

"Your Highness, now that the second emperor is heading north, the state affairs are difficult, what is the prince's plan?" The last time the King of Qin went to Jinying as a hostage, Zong Ze had encouraged Zhao Ta to stand on his own, but he was categorically refused, and repelled Han Libu with tens of thousands of righteous and brave forces.

"This king originally wanted to lead the army to the king, but he came late, and now the top priority is to rescue the two emperors and return to the capital, and gather the heroes of the world to fight against the Jurchens!" Zhao said.

"Your Royal Highness, can you know that the Empress Dowager Meng in Beijing has issued a decree to recruit King Kang to return to Beijing to take the throne, and at this moment they have made preparations to be called emperors, how will Your Highness deal with herself?" Zong Ze asked again.

"This king thinks that the queen mother may think that the second emperor is going north, and Zhang Bangchang is a thief and called the emperor, she also wants to take the opportunity to protect the Zhao family's expedient measures, if the second emperor returns to the capital, naturally he will not count!" Zhao Ta thought about it and said, but he also knew that the temptation of the throne at the moment was too great, and Zhao Gou couldn't resist such a big temptation at all, and it was inevitable that the emperor would become the emperor, but he was unwilling to obey his orders, but he could only be so stuffed at the moment.

"Alas, Your Highness is so naïve!" Zong Ze shook his head and sighed and said, "King Kang's heart is very big, and the Jin army besieged the city and gathered tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, but he refused to enter King Qin, and watched from the wall. After the second emperor traveled north, he did not advance but retreated, and avoided Shandong Juye with no intention of rescuing him at all, but he was afraid that the prince's patriotic and loyal heart would turn into nothing. ”

"What does the sect marshal mean?" Wang Jin said, "The gold thief forcibly abolished the establishment, and the Song Dynasty left endless disasters, and if it is not done, it is that the father and son become enemies, and the brothers are against the wall." ”

Now there is no owner in the country, and everyone is jealous of the throne, even if Zhao Gou is called the emperor, how can the strength of the prince be at his mercy, there will definitely be discord among the ministers and internal worries, so how can he go all out to deal with external troubles and wash away the national shame. It is very likely that Zhao Gou flattered the Jin people under the threat of the prince and jointly dealt with the prince, and the Jurchens provoked from it, created contradictions, and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

Even if the prince is generous and does not compete with him, he will avoid Xijing and return to his own one-acre and three-point land, but now the strength of the Song army to resist the invasion of the Jin people may not be enough, I am afraid that it will still go to the old road of gold cutting land to seek peace and bow down to the old road, and the second emperor can only lie on the ice and taste the snow in the northeast with peace of mind!

"Stop King Kang from becoming the emperor and rescue the second emperor!" Zong Ze said, "Now the King of Qin should immediately raise the banner and spread the word to the world, so that King Kang will know that the royal family and other bloodlines are outside, so that he will be afraid and dare not claim to be the emperor; If the rescue of the second emperor fails, then the prince must also lead troops to return to the capital, and the throne must not be given up without authorization, and the courtiers should agree again, and the queen mother will choose again! ”

Zong Ze's meaning is very clear, I just don't agree to let King Kang ascend the throne, now I have a fancy for you, I want to follow you, even if the rescue of the second emperor fails, or the second emperor dies in the chaos, I am afraid that there will be one, two queen mothers, concubines, and princes who have slipped through the net, and the Empress Dowager Meng is just the former dynasty after the abolition, of course, the status is not as good as the current reign, and it is too late to be rescued and grateful, it is self-evident who to choose!

"The most commendable lord of Zhongxing in history is none other than Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, but his world is taken from Wang Mang and Liu Xuan, not by the hands of foreign races. Now that the Song Dynasty has lost the deer, but the hearts of the people have not been lost, no matter who can cheer up and lead the soldiers of the three armies to fight against the Jin State and recover the homeland, he will inevitably become the hero of the country, so as to surpass Emperor Guangwu and become the first person in history to rise in Zhongxing! Chen Yu said at this time.

Although he said it vaguely, everyone also heard the meaning, as long as he can complete the great cause of resisting gold and restoring the country, he will be supported by everyone. At this time, the King of Qin led his troops and the Jin army to regain two important towns in a fierce battle, but King Kang avoided Shandong, fearing the enemy and fighting timidly to preserve his strength, even if he was called the emperor, it was rare for the people to win the hearts of the people, and he could not become the lord of a country!

"Your Royal Highness, the lower officials have a reluctant request, hoping that the prince will erect a banner of rebellion and lead the heroes to resist Jin and restore the country, and Zong is not willing to be driven!" Zong Ze suddenly got up and saluted.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials are also willing to lead the soldiers and civilians of Hebei to follow the prince, rescue the second emperor, rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty, and build a great cause together!" Chen Yu also got up and saluted.

"The prince is eloquent and ambitious, so don't shirk the prince anymore!" Wang Jin heard that the two of them had a Zhongxing on the left and a Zhongxing on the right, and the prince had reorganized the Loyal Army and the Kryu Army into the Zhongxing Army as early as Xijing. (To be continued......)
