"I'm going to the north, so if I can come back sooner, I'll be sooner. But the war is never in my hands. Zhao Jiaren said to his wife Qin Yuzhen. As he spoke, he himself had begun to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find his clothes.

Looking at her husband's fiery appearance, Qin Yuzhen didn't know what to say for a while. Seeing that Zhao Jiaren had already turned out a few pieces of clothes, Qin Yuzhen went to her wardrobe and took out a few furoshiki. Spreading the furoshiki on the bed, Qin Yuzhen couldn't help but say sadly: "San Lang, before we got married, you were already famous all over the world because of the Battle of Ezhou. However, I didn't expect that under the fame it would be the pain of parting. ”

"It's not your fault, and it's not my fault. This is an era of war, and it is natural that life and death will inevitably be separated. Zhao Jiaren also felt something, he wrapped his belt and answered his wife's question with a sigh.

After listening to Zhao Jiaren's literary and artistic answer, Qin Yuzhen sighed: "Is it difficult that the war will never end? ”

Zhao Jiaren laughed, "From the perspective of a soldier, peace is a short armistice. From a foodie's point of view, peace is the thin layer of meat inside the white bun. ”

Under the heavy background of the first half, the foodie theory in the second half is very frivolous, Qin Yuzhen chirped: "Cut! The meat in the meat bun is quite thick, is it good? ”

Zhao Jiaren had already wrapped his clothes, he happily carried the burden on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Hmph! If you look at it that way, I can't help it. But ah, I can assure you that if I can stay in power until I am 55 years old, I will try to achieve that the Hu people dare not go south and graze their horses, and the soldiers dare not bend their bows and take revenge. ”

Qin Yuzhen was a little speechless about her husband's frivolity, but she didn't hate Zhao Jiaren's accidental tone. And under this frivolity, she actually saw more things. At this time, with the books Qin Yuzhen had read, she had also seen a lot of inconvenient things to say. Many people think that Zhao Jiaren will eventually have a yellow robe one day, and Qin Yuzhen also thinks so.

"And when will you be back?" Qin Yuzhen asked.

Putting down the burden, Zhao Jiaren held his wife's hand and replied seriously: "Then it depends on whether the Mongolians are resistant to fighting." If the Mongols are resistant to fighting, it will take more than a year, and if they are not resistant, they will come back in three or five months. ”

"Hey, hey! It's daylight! Qin Yuzhen didn't know anything about military affairs, but she was very familiar with the expression on her husband's face.

Zhao Jiaren pulled his wife into his arms and said with a smile: "Hmph! At this time, even if you scream and cut your throat, no one will come to save you. ”

"Captain. Xu Shangshu asked to see him. The voice of the guard sounded outside.

"Haha!" Looking at the expression on her husband's face, Qin Yuzhen couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Zhao Jiaren didn't feel embarrassed, he smiled: "It's not a throat cut. After saying that, he got up and went out.

Qin Yuzhen thought for several moments before she understood what 'broken throat' meant, and she couldn't help but laugh. But somehow, Qin Yuzhen felt sadness at the same time, and there were tears in her eyes. If Zhao Jiaren can be added to the yellow robe, of course Qin Yuzhen can also share the glory in it. However, Qin Yuzhen already understood that as Zhao Jiaren's wife, she also had to bear a price that others couldn't imagine. In fact, when she got married more than ten years ago, Qin Yuzhen looked forward to a very simple life, that is, to spend every day of her life with Zhao Jiaren.

"Captain. But I don't know if you want to impeach Chen Qingnian? Xu Yuanzhi asked straight to the point after seeing Zhao Jiaren.

"You think you should just let him go?" Zhao Jiaren poured tea for Xu Yuanzhi across the table while asking his question.

Xu Yuanzhi picked up the teacup and replied, "It depends on the mind of the captain." If the captain thinks it doesn't matter, why not let him go. ”

Zhao Jiaren also brought himself a cup of tea, and he sighed: "I don't want to punish Chen Qingnian because of what he said, if I really want the yellow robe to be added, he will let him say it." The reason I want to punish him is because he is arrogant at this time, putting his so-called loyalty above the interests of the country. ”

"Huh!" Xu Yuanzhi laughed dryly. In the imperial court, Xu Yuanzhi was considered to be a faction of Zhao Jiaren. Xu Yuanzhi also felt that he was more inclined to Zhao Jiaren, but Xu Yuanzhi was still not happy to see Zhao Jiaren 'usurp'. But Xu Yuanzhi also knows that the current situation is becoming less and less good.

Unless the current petty officials can show their ability to surpass Zhao Jiaren, when the petty officials grow up, they can still tolerate Zhao Jiaren's power with a strong attitude. However, Zhao Jiaren was a demon who was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of thirteen in the extremely competitive place of Fujian Road, and his knowledge, ability, strength, and achievements were unmatched in the Great Song Dynasty. It is impossible to surpass such a monster.

Since the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, in order to protect himself, Zhao Jiaren has no other way than to add a yellow robe. What's more, Xu Yuanzhi's nephew Sima Kao and others have long been looking forward to putting Zhao Jiaren on the throne of the emperor.

Sighing at such an inevitable future, Xu Yuanzhi said: "Taiwei, since this is the case, don't use the argument of framing when impeaching Chen Qingnian. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Jiaren responded.

Xu Yuanzhi persuaded: "Taiwei, there are as many people as there are Chen Qingnian's thoughts now. If Taiwei impeached Chen Qingnian for framing, it would make those people feel that Taiwei had no room for people. directly used Chen Qingnian's reason to disrupt the Northern Expedition, and people with ulterior motives don't care what they think. When the Taiwei returned to Lin'an, it was naturally the Qing who cleared himself. ”

"Humph! Reasonable. Zhao Jiaren replied. He didn't mean to add a yellow robe now, and Zhao Kuangyin's doing this didn't mean that Zhao Jiaren would do the same. Cao Cao himself did not dare to usurp the throne during his lifetime, the reason is very simple, he Cao Cao was just a local prince in the final analysis.

Unlike the dynasties of the Han people, the Great Song Dynasty was not able to mix with China. In the early days, there was the Khitan, then there was the Western Xia, then there was the Jin Kingdom, and now there is the Mongols. If Zhao Jiaren wants to gain unquestioned power, he must complete the merit of mixing with China. With such a feat, let the little emperor Zen let it go smoothly. And with the current level of medical care, it is still a question whether the little emperor can live to that time. If the little emperor dies, Zhao Jiaren can easily succeed to the throne. Why do a thankless thing at this time?

"Then please ask the captain to give Lantai an order." Xu Yuanzhi was also very happy to see Zhao Jiaren so open-minded, and he hurriedly replied.

Zhao Jiaren replied mockingly: "Wait a few more days." Let's see if Chen Qingnian will resign himself. If you say such a thing, you will still be cheeky to stay in the court, and then you will reveal the true face of this famous and reputation-seeking person! ”

Things developed as Zhao Jiaren expected, and Chen Qingnian did not resign. This move can greatly change the views of the courtiers on Chen Qingnian. Accusing Taiwei Zhao of wanting a yellow robe is accusing Taiwei Zhao of rebelling. If you say this, you have to be responsible. The best way to be responsible is for Chen Qingnian to prove that Zhao Taiwei wants to rebel, or Chen Qingnian himself resigns to show his attitude.

As a result, Chen Qingnian's approach was just to continue to go to court like no one else after making some nonsense. Such a reaction made everyone around him furious. Those who support Zhao Jiaren certainly think that this guy is unreasonable, and those who don't support Zhao Jiaren think that this guy is grandstanding.

When the Lantai controlled by Zhao Jiaren impeached Chen Qingnian and disturbed the morale of the army, no one in the entire court came out to speak for Chen Qingnian. To the surprise of the ministers, Zhao Taiwei announced that he would go north the day after Chen Qingnian was impeached. This kind of recklessness also opened the eyes of the ministers.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe was added to Chenqiaoyi, which is the origin of the Chenqiao mutiny. Chen Qiaoyi is forty miles northeast of Bianliang, and if there is such an analogy, many people think that Zhao Taiwei will probably go to Gusu and add a yellow robe. However, the day after Taiwei Zhao left Lin'an, there was no news.

On the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, there was still no news. Half a month later, new news came that Taiwei Zhao had arrived in Xuchang. At this time, the Song army already had five divisions assembled in Xuchang, and two more divisions were stationed in Bianliang. In addition, Taiwei Zhao ordered to measure the prime meridian of the viewing platform.

After the impeachment of Lantai, Chen Qingnian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was dismissed. The next new candidate was also unexpected, and Xiong Shang was nominated as the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Many people know that Xiong Sheng is not a close confidant of Zhao Taiwei, if you take a political position, Xiong Sheng is closer to Chen Qingnian, who was dismissed. More people don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Zhao Taiwei's gourd.

Zhao Jiaren's reason for doing this is actually very negative, he just wants to muddy the waters. Since so many people misunderstood him, he simply let these people misunderstand to the end. Proposing such a ritual book as Xiong Shang can make boring guys excited for half a month and a month. If Xiong Sheng is hypocritical again, it can drag on for a while. Before the end of this war, Zhao Jiaren did not want the Lin'an court to reach any consensus. That's all.

On the first day of the fifth month of the fourth year of the Republic, Lin'an began the rainy season. In Bianliang in the north, the sun was shining, and Zhao Jiaren led the cavalry to this famous city. Two hundred miles, all of them were completed in two days. Zhao Jiaren's understanding of Arabian horses has also deepened a lot.

Horses are inherently very squeamish creatures, and Zhao Jiaren thinks that Arabian horses, which are super housed creatures, should be even more squeamish. The reason why Arabian horses are super houses is because this type of horse likes to live indoors. Arabian horses are highly prized by the Arabs and are kept in tents during a long breeding period. For the sensitive thoroughbred Arabian horse, they prefer to stay indoors rather than in a bright room.

However, this kind of horse can not be ambiguous when it runs, and there is no difference between Arabian horses in the first ten miles, and the running speed of Arabian horses after ten miles does not decrease at all, and after running a hundred miles on the road, except for wanting to go into the house and sleep for a while, the Arabian horse has a normal expression.

In this regard, Zhao Jiaren had no other thoughts except to praise 'good horse' in his heart.
