Zhao Jiaren has been to Lin'an many times, and he is relatively familiar with Lin'an. The prosperity of Lin'an was still vivid, and at this time, the population of Lin'an was only less than half of what it was before, and the whole city was no longer bleak, but desolate.

First ordered someone to clean the palace so that the Empress Dowager Yang Shufei and the little emperor could live in it as soon as possible. Zhao Jiaren went to the looted empty government hall and the Privy Council to visit. From today onwards, Zhao Jiaren will be the master of these two places.

As the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiaren is naturally the master of the political affairs hall. After concurrently serving as a privy envoy, Zhao Jiaren was the highest military governor of the Great Song Dynasty. The reason why everyone calls themselves 'Taiwei' is because Zhao Jiaren is the real Taiwei of the Great Song Dynasty. It's completely different from that customary honorific title.

After reading the two places, Zhao Jiaren ordered: "In the future, I will work in the political hall." ”

The news that Taiwei Zhao led the imperial court back to Lin'an quickly spread to Yangzhou, Jiangbei, and Chen Zaixing's cousin, who was in charge of the Yangzhou war, immediately sent a letter. Unlike Jia Yidao, Zhao Jiaren attaches great importance to the transmission of information, so the letter sent by the messenger is quickly forwarded to Zhao Jiaren. At this time, Zhao Jiaren was in front of the mausoleum of Song Lizong, refilling the cemetery dug by the Mongolian army.

For Song Lizong, Zhao Jiaren actually has no special feelings. His view of the monarch and his courtiers is similar to that of employees and company bosses, and from this perspective, Zhao Jiaren is actually no different from most literati in the Great Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Jiaren is completely different from those literati, and his concept of the country is not comparable to those literati. Of course, this is not because Zhao Jiaren has a strong sense of morality, but because he has such a concept, it is the result of the education of the concept of the modern nation-state and the deeds of the revolutionary predecessors of TG.

personally led the team to fill the excavated tomb, and Zhao Jiaren was a little excited. After the death of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty, he represented the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty was the continuation of China. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things worthy of criticism during Song Lizong's lifetime, and Zhao Jiaren didn't have any feelings for Song Lizong, his emotions would just be excited. If someone dared to dig up the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, Zhao Jiaren's emotions at this time would probably be too strong and there would only be one thought left, that is, 'kill them all'.

After the Mongols dug up the tomb of Song Lizong, in addition to transporting the body and coffin, they also stole all the funerary goods. This is all the Chinese people's fat and people's ointment, Zhao Jiaren has some regrets in addition to being distressed, if only he could be recovered and sent to the museum.

At this time, a letter from Yangzhou was delivered to Zhao Jiaren, who asked the troops to continue filling in the soil and began to read the letter himself.

In the letter, Chen Zaixing told Zhao Jiaren that Marshal Ashu in Jiangbei first confronted the Song army, and once used more power than the previous artillery to shoot at the Song army. However, Marshal Ashu's artillery was placed on a cart, and the size of the cart was far superior to that of the Song army. Even if the range of the Mongol artillery increased, it was still inferior to that of the Song army. The Mongol wooden cart was destroyed by the shot, and the efforts of the Mongol army came to naught.

However, after the autumn rain, the Song army did not expect that the purpose of the Mongol army to discharge a large battle was to retreat. Two or three days after the rain stopped, the Song army found that the Mongol army had run away without a trace. A reconnaissance force was dispatched, and it was finally discovered that the Mongol army had withdrawn to the Huainan West Road.

Upon learning that Zhao Jiaren had arrived in Lin'an, Chen Zaixing asked what to do next.

Putting away the letter, Zhao Jiaren felt a pang of regret in his heart. Judging from the overall situation, the Mongol army shrank its front and had no intention of competing with the Song army in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. This was a good choice for the Mongol army, but not so good for the Song army. At this time, Zhao Jiaren's troops were only 110 battalions, which could engage the Mongol army, but it was not possible to carry out a fierce pursuit of the Mongol army after the shrinking front. Now Zhao Jiaren has only returned to Jiangnan, and he has not even been able to fully control the Huaidong Road north of the Yangtze River. If you pursue it fiercely, you will fall into the trap set by the Mongols. If the strategy is correct, the Mongolian army with cold weapons can also make the Song army nowhere to start.

Seeing that the large hole in the ground had been filled, the soldiers were making the final leveling work. Zhao Jiaren said to Zhang Shijie, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army: "Commander Zhang, please ask Empress Dowager Yang and the official family to give Li Zong an incense." ”

Zhang Shijie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Taiwei, shouldn't you be stumped...... Is there incense on the north side? ”

Zhao Jiaren dislikes this kind of feudal superstition very much, but this is still within the scope of what he can tolerate. So Zhao Jiaren replied: "Li Zong is from my Huaxia, even if the body is robbed, his soul will not follow the Mongols." Do you think the Mongols still have demon magic to detain the soul of Li Zong? In the end, Zhao Jiaren's voice was already very stern.

After Zhang Shijie listened to Zhao Jiaren's words, his head shook like a rattle. "No, no, no, the captain is at odds. I also feel that the soul of Li Zong has remained in the land of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Jiaren saw that Zhang Shijie did not make a mistake, so he continued: "Since this is the case, please invite the Queen Mother and the official family to come over to pay tribute to the soul of Li Zong." ”

Not long after, Empress Dowager Yang hugged the little emperor and walked to the incense table that had been set up and began to worship, accompanied by Zhang Shijie. Yang Shufei was elected to the palace as a beauty. Xianchun for three years, into the concubine. Anyway, in terms of appearance, it must not be ugly, and it can even be said to be a little beautiful.

However, Zhao Jiaren is not looking at Yang Shufei from the perspective of a man looking at a woman, he is looking at Yang Shufei with the eyes of a powerful person looking at another powerful person. Compared with Zhao Jiaren, this woman can't compete with Zhao Jiaren in terms of personal qualities such as ability and talent, and the only advantage is probably age. She seems to be five years younger than Zhao Jiaren, and with the law that the average life expectancy of women is longer than that of men, the queen mother has a great chance of dying after Zhao Jiaren.

But that didn't make Zhao feel threatened. The real threat is that Yang Shufei is the queen mother after all, if this woman is provoked by others to have any ambitions, and this woman is stupid after having ambitions, then it is very likely that at a certain court meeting, Yang Shufei will publicly shout 'Zhao Jiaren plots rebellion, should be killed'. At that time, even if Zhao Jiaren killed her, he would be disgraced.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but look at Zhang Shijie. At least this Zhang Shijie belongs to the person who has the ability to thread the needle, and in Zhang Shijie's actions so far, there seems to be no evidence that he can't thread the needle.

When looking at the Queen Mother's memorial, Zhao Jiaren was churning with the question of power in his heart. After the Empress Dowager Yang finished the memorial, she left in a chariot under the escort of Zhang Shijie. Zhao Jiaren gave a small speech on the Royal Forest Army and other troops who came.

"Today, we have come to pay respects to Rizong, and some people think that Rizong's body was taken by the Mongols, so Rizong's soul was also taken away. I can tell you that this is a big mistake. We were born as Chinese people and died as Chinese ghosts. The land of my China is the place where our souls sleep. I will not die in China, and I will not have nowhere to sleep after the death of my ancestors. When I die, my soul will not be left without a home. The spirit of the Emperor is still in the land of our China. All we have to do now is to defeat the evil Mongol invaders and recover the bones that have been taken by them. Do you have faith? ”

Although Zhao Jiaren himself does not believe in the spirit of heaven, and his ideal China is a materialist and atheistic China in power, in the face of an army that has not been educated in materialist atheism, Zhao Jiaren can only seize the right to interpret the afterlife. And this right of interpretation seems to be recognized by the soldiers, hearing Zhao Jiaren's greetings, the soldiers shouted, "Yes!" "We have faith!"

Now that his right to interpret has been recognized, Zhao Jiaren continued to shout: "Very good! Then let's sing and let the Rigon in the heavenly spirit see our might! ”

"The big knife slashed at the heads of the Tartars!

Brothers armed throughout the country!

The day of the Anti-Japanese War has come,

The day of the War of Resistance has come! ”

Even if Empress Dowager Yang got into the chariot, she was still able to hear the loud singing clearly when she was a distance away from the pit filling field. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager Yang was not moved by the passionate emotions of the soldiers, and she said to Zhang Shijie: "Commander Zhang, our mother and daughter have been taken care of by you until now. In the future, I will have to ask you to take care of it. ”

After listening to the Queen Mother's entrustment, Zhang Shijie couldn't hold back his excitement and nodded vigorously, "Please rest assured that the Queen Mother will protect the Queen Mother and the official family as long as the ministers are there." ”

After solving the matter first, Zhao Jiaren led the troops back to Lin'an. When walking on the road, Zhao Jiaren still didn't understand very much in his heart, what kind of water did Boyan put in his brain to make the choice to steal the body? This could only make the Great Song Dynasty more hostile to the Mongols.

Just when Zhao Jiaren was thinking nonsense, the ship transporting Song Lizong was still on the road. Since the excavation of Song Lizong's coffin, Boyan immediately ordered Song Lizong's body to be sent to Dadu with the coffin. There are waterways all the way, and Mongolia will not give Song Lizong's coffin any graceful reception. They are in a hurry, and the coffin is just a piece of luggage in the eyes of these people.

With such efforts, on the third day after Zhao Jiaren filled in the pit and worshiped Song Lizong's spirit in the sky, Song Lizong's coffin was transported to Dadu. As a Confucian scholar, Mongolian Pingzhang Hao Jing certainly knew that it was against Confucianism to do so. But Hao Jing did not show the slightest displeasure because of this. There was even some joy in his heart.

Boyan did not do this according to Confucian or Han Chinese traditions, but according to Mongolian traditions. Sure enough, after Kublai Khan received the coffin and corpse of Song Lizong, he announced it to Mongolia. Song Emperor Song Lizong, who had been fighting against the Mongols, had been captured by the Mongols. Since Song Lizong, who was the instigator of the war, was arrested, the Song State Lin'an Imperial Court and surrendered. The punishment of the Song State accomplished its purpose.

Hao Jing was extremely supportive of this speech in his heart. In any case, the Great Khan of Mongolia stepped down the steps. There are already signs of an end to the war.
