While the two were talking, Zhao Dun, who was half a year old, was sent by the palace nurse, and Empress Meng hugged him and teased him. After half a ring, seeing Zhao Huanwu pondering, Meng Hou smiled again: "The official family doesn't have to care a lot, the rumors stop at the wise, the villains are bored and chewing their tongues, and they dare to say anything selfish." If it's true, it's worth it. ”

"Yes." Zhao Huan nodded calmly and said yes with a smile. He knew that although Empress Meng had been in the deep palace for many years, he had been tricking in the ghost domain in the Shenming Palace, and he was weaker in terms of knowledge, and he only thought that it was the unintentional move of the eunuch villain, but he was never alert, thinking carefully about who was making waves under this undercurrent.

After saying nothing for a while, Zhao Huan was about to resign, but when he saw Empress Meng put down Zhao Dun, he ordered the palace people to go out, and ordered the idlers to retreat, and then said to Zhao Huan: "The official family, it's just a matter of sidelines, but I heard recently that after the victory in Luoyang, the Jin people asked for peace, but the official family did not allow it, can this matter be taken seriously?" ”

"Not bad. It's just that it was another Jin man's strategy, to discuss and reduce the fighting spirit, and to mess with the fighting spirit of our Great Song Army. Now that the two countries are fighting each other so far, how can there be room for negotiation without winning or losing? I reprimanded the golden envoy, and issued an edict to the world, whoever has words and can discuss peace is feasible, and will not be forgiven! ”

"Oh? The official family handled it well. ”

Empress Meng praised in his mouth, but the expression on his face was faint, Zhao Huan knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly bowed and smiled: "Right now, we are in full swing, there is no reason to negotiate peace with them and mess up." ”

"That's what I said." Empress Meng first agreed, and then frowned: "That's right, it stands to reason that I shouldn't interfere in the emperor's government affairs, but the family affairs of the Son of Heaven are also related to state affairs, and the matter involves the emperor, and the old body has to say a few words." ”

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is a royal elder, so if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

But after hearing Meng Hou say again: "The official family returned from the Five Kingdoms, but they never tried to take back the emperor, even though the king and master won all battles, the emperor still suffered in the ice and snow. Every time the old body thinks about it, it is inevitable to feel sad. Official, since the Jin people are already invincible and have plans to sue for peace, it is better to find a way to welcome back the emperor, and then arrange it calmly, isn't it? ”

Zhao Huan chuckled in his heart, knowing that something was wrong.

I thought about the wording in my heart. He calmly replied: "My father is covered with dust, and I am naturally sad. However, this matter is not in a hurry, only to arrange it slowly and try it properly, the chief sect Jin Guo is afraid of us, and it is best to send his father back honestly. ”

Empress Meng frowned at first, but said with a smile on her face: "The affairs of the heavenly family are not as good as those of the common people, even if there was something between father and son back then, and the matter involved the overall situation, it is best not to mention it." Since the official family knows it. It would be better to express this matter slightly. Otherwise, the courtiers and the people don't know the plans of the officials, how can they rest assured? ”

She saw that Zhao Huan looked a little embarrassed, so she said again: "Those rumors." The old body naturally can't listen here. However, when it comes to the emperor, I always have to give the official family a reminder, how to deal with it, naturally it is still the official family's business, I won't say more. ”

These words can be regarded as a wake-up call for Zhao Huan, in fact, this royal elder is indeed kind from the heart, and he is not listening to other people's words to ask for trouble.

The conversation with Jin Guo and welcoming back to the emperor's land was mentioned frequently not long after Zhao Huan's first return, and even Zhao Gou was there. In order to compete with Zhao Huan for the position of righteousness, he also made a situation and wanted to find a way to welcome back Zhao Ji.

In the past two years, the Jin people have repeatedly returned to the ministers of the Song Dynasty, among which there are many soft-boned lords and factions who are afraid of fighting with the Jin State, such as the patriarch He Su and others, and there are also Qin Hui and others who have secretly surrendered to the Jin State a long time ago and are willing to secretly serve the Jin State after returning to the country, but Zhao Huan has strong means. He Su and others were first put under house arrest, and after nearly two years, these veteran and important ministers have long dared not make waves, and they are usually afraid to even go out for half a step, let alone express their political opinions and affect the situation of the court. And Qin Hui was even more subdued by Zhao Huan, and did not dare to work for the Jin people, at this time he was inspecting government affairs on Fujian Road, reviewing officials, and working hard all day long to offend the world's officials and doctors, although he was in a high position, in fact, he was gently thrown out of the political hall by Zhao Huan, and the real military affairs were unheard of, and they could not have any impact at all.

Because of the failure of this hand, the two sides have repeatedly fought in the past two years, Chang'an, Tongguan, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, the long front from Shaanxi and Gansu to Jingxiang Liangzhun, the army of nearly two million people with spears and arrows, blood stained the field, millions of people rushed on the way, the dark hands took on countless armor weapons, grain, grass and medicine, both fought to the last bit of strength, the blood of the Guanshan Han on the vast Loess Plateau and the fierce ironclad knights of the northern country stained the earth, The Orion from Baishan and Heishui and the military rations from Fujian and Guangxi have exhausted the last manpower and material resources of both sides, and the hatred is getting deeper and deeper, and the little grace and reservation at the beginning have disappeared, and both sides, whether they are nobles and high-ranking officials or ordinary military and civilian people, know that the two sides have fought against each other, and unless one side completely crosses the other, there will be no end.

Because of this, the original plan of the Jin State to release captives to disrupt the situation of the Song Dynasty was gradually shelved, and in the past two years, only some petty officials have been released one after another, and there are some inconsequential low-level concubines.

In the five years of Jingkang, the battle situation became more and more tense, the two sides fought one after another, Zong Bi Zongfu and other main battle factions laid down a guarantee ticket in front of Wu Qimai, repeatedly sent a large army, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals gathered on all roads, winding thousands of miles, Zong Bi and others were full of pride, thinking that the time to destroy the Song Dynasty was just around the corner, and it was impossible to send it back to Zhao Ji to discuss peace.

Zhao Huan devoted himself to resisting the enemy, and he had no emotion with Zhao Ji, and from the bottom of his heart, he also hated the Emperor who crossed the Northern Song Dynasty with one hand, so he had no intention of welcoming Zhao Ji back.

In fact, it is not only him, even if Zhao Gou has lived all his life, whenever someone mentions the words of welcoming the second emperor, he is also embarrassed and resentful, and Yue Fei's death is caused by the insistence on welcoming the second emperor.

It's just that the two have different starting points, and the feeling and impact they bring are completely different.

Zhao Huan has no idea of peace, and he is bent on fighting to the end, so naturally he will not have the intention of negotiating peace and welcoming people, while Zhao Gou is bent on keeping his throne, and he is afraid of fighting with the Jinren.

And Jin Guo also knew Zhao Gou's thoughts, and he pulled and beat him, and the two sides maintained a certain tacit understanding, and they would never make trouble with Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan.

It's just that the more this is the case, it shows that Zhao Gou had room to return to his father, while Zhao Huan was bent on beating and had no concern for his biological father who was imprisoned in the north, so it is not surprising that others have some slight accusations.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan suddenly realized, and looked at Empress Meng who was looking at him with a smile on his face, and he was really grateful in his heart.

The other party woke up and helped each other so much, naturally because Zhao Huan took care of her on weekdays and did not neglect her aunt, Zhao Huan thought about it, and felt ashamed in his heart.

Immediately stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

Empress Meng said with a smile: "The official family is a smart person, so he naturally knows how to cook, it's late today, so let's rest." ”

Zhao Huan agreed with a smile, and ordered someone to serve Empress Meng to leave, and when he saw her trembling downstairs, the palace lights were shining, like a fire dragon going to the harem, he smiled on his face, but he felt very embarrassed in his heart.

The other party praised him for having means, but he knew in his heart that he had only cared about the war ahead recently, and the harem was negligent in cooking, and the other party had secretly arranged in the past two months, and all kinds of measures were ruthless and cunning, stirring up wind and waves and making rain, and when he found out, this was already the case in the palace, and he was worried about the people.

He arranged the Dengwen Division and the Pedestrian Division, thinking that he was in charge of officials with one hand and inspecting the military situation with the other, but he ignored that the ancients were not fools, and since the frontal battlefield was deadlocked, it would naturally look for his weakness.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Huan no longer had the heart to take care of other things, but summoned people overnight, and urgently ordered Fei Lun to send people to inspect the civil situation, he knew that the other party must have known, but the dogma of the ancients for the Venerable was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was related to Zhao Huan's reputation.

He couldn't sleep all night, and stayed until the next morning, Zhe Yanshi interrogated overnight, talking about how disrespectful the emperor's mouth was, and he had already climbed and involved dozens of palace attendants in the palace, and even related to the Banzhi guards, and then went to investigate, and the thread went to the outside of the palace, and the knots were extremely complicated, and most of these people spread rumors, but there was no sign of deliberateness.

This situation is not deviated from Zhao Huan's expectations, and this rumor naturally started from outside the palace, and then went straight into the palace.

At this time, his temperament was very bad, he stood in front of the door with his clothes on, and after hearing what Zhi Yanshi said, he didn't groan, and immediately ordered: "You don't have to worry about it outside the palace, I have already handed over to Fei Lun to do it." When it was found out in the palace, the guards drove out of the palace, and the attendants were heavily responsible! ”

After a little hesitation, Zhao Huan said again: "The palace people will be handed over to the Queen Mother for disposal, go ahead!" ”

Zhi Yanshi promised loudly, but heard Zhao Huan say angrily again: "You are raising the Imperial City Division, and you are optimistic about this family for me, do you know?" Don't follow the heavy responsibility of finding out. ”

Zhi Yanshi didn't say anything else, and immediately obeyed the order.

After Zhao Huan got up and summoned the minister, Xie Liang, Zhao Kai and others entered from the left corner door, but they saw that Zhi Yan was responsible for the internal servants, dozens of people stripped their pants, the board hit the mountain, and when the flesh and blood were flying, no one dared to beg for mercy.

Xie Liang and the others were surprised when they saw it, knowing that there must be something wrong in the palace, so they hurriedly entered the palace, and after seeing the ceremony, they heard Zhao Huan say leisurely: "I think that I should send an envoy to the five countries to visit the emperor in the near future." ”
