Zhao Ding received news from the palace, saying that His Majesty had a major state matter to discuss with him, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed over.

On this way, Zhao Ding was so anxious that he asked the little eunuch who followed him but didn't get an answer. In desperation, he could only continue to rush to the palace. When Zhao Ding stepped into the palace gate, he saw Liu Chan waiting for him with a smile.

"Minister Zhao Ding knocked to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Zhao Ding hurriedly knelt down to greet him, the emperor actually greeted him personally at the door, not to mention what happened, just to say that this attitude was enough for Zhao Ding to work hard.

"Zhao Xiang doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." Liu Chan helped Zhao Ding up and said with a smile.

Zhao Ding was very puzzled, Liu Chan didn't look like something big had happened, so he quietly asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to ask you to wait for a minister here." ”

Liu Chan's expression suddenly changed: "Hey, Zhao Xiang, this matter is a little difficult to speak, let's talk while eating." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Although Zhao Ding was desperate to know what was going on, he still felt that it was better to wait a little longer after looking at Liu Chan's expression.

After a few moments, the Imperial Dining Room finally finished serving all the dishes. There are estimated two dozen dishes on the table, and each one looks very tasty. Zhao Ding swallowed his saliva quietly, and I have to say that Liu Chan's preparation was really sufficient. Liu Chan personally poured Zhao Ding a glass of wine, and this attitude made Zhao Ding very flustered. The more polite Liu Chan is, the more frightened he becomes, and he has nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are here." Zhao Ding hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Liu Chan, wanting to bring the wine jug and pour it himself. But he didn't expect that Liu Chan would not give an inch, and he had to do it himself.

Zhao Dingna experienced this kind of scene, and immediately became a little drunk. The two exchanged a cup of wine and ate some more food before putting down their chopsticks, and it was time to talk about something.

"Hey, Zhao Xiang, you don't know, hey today..." Liu Chan said with some words to say.

Didn't you stop you from recruiting in person today, why do you look like this, could it be that you have done a little too much. Zhao Ding thought secretly in his heart, so he immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, the ministers are all thinking about Your Majesty in the court today, if the ministers are offended, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

"I also understand Zhao Xiang's hard work today, but Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang actually gave me a Taoist excerpt after the early dynasty." Liu Chan slapped the table and said with a sigh.

"Excerpt, I don't know what it is." Zhao Ding scolded Qin Hui fiercely in his heart, I don't know what kind of moth Qin Hui is going to do.

Qin Xiang said in the recital that Yue Fei drove away the Jin State in the north and recovered the hearts of the local people, which was very popular. What do you say in the north, I only know that there is Yue Fei, but I don't know that there is my majesty. In addition, the Yue family army is brave and good at fighting, and now Yue Fei has 70,000 troops in the north, so I am afraid that he has the intention of rebellion. Liu Chan began to act, with a hint of sadness in the corners of his eyes, giving people the feeling that he didn't believe in this letter, but someone did say so.

Zhao Ding stood up with a kick on the ground, his heart was full of anger; "Your Majesty, Yue Fei's loyalty can be learned. The minister heard that when the Jin soldiers committed crimes in the south, Yue Fei knelt in front of his old mother, wanting to kill the enemy and fight for the country. Although his mother was reluctant, she did not stop Yue Fei. On the occasion of parting, with tears in his eyes, he engraved the words "loyalty to the country" on Yue Fei's back. Your Majesty, the minister will never believe that Yue Fei will rebel. ”

Liu Chan was as if he was hit by five thunders, this, this, this, he didn't expect that Yue Fei was such a patriot. This is put in the Han Dynasty, and it is all an existence that wants to be tributed. Liu Chan felt that his original words about coaxing Zhao Ding could not be true, there was no way, Liu Chan himself didn't believe that Yue Fei would rebel, it was a ruthless man with loyalty and loyalty engraved on his back.

Liu Chan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Maybe it's a rumor that Qin Xiang heard from somewhere." ”

"Rumors? Your Majesty, Qin Hui is making things up, this is plotting to kill the pillars of the country. I now very much doubt that Qin Hui is a spy sent by the Jin State, and he dares to act like this, and he dares to ignore the safety of the country. Please order your majesty to kill Qin Hui immediately to correct the dynasty. ”

"This, I also believe in Yue Fei's loyalty. As for Qin Xiang, he may have been misled by rumors. However, I still plan to go to the north to take a look in person, and also to see the situation of the Yue family's army. As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Chan's meaning became somewhat obvious.

Zhao Ding looked at Liu Chan with some suspicion, and Zhao Ding actually believed what Liu Chan began to say. But as soon as Liu Chan said this, he was a little skeptical that Qin Hui had been on the song, but Liu Chan's meaning was too obvious. He is still the left minister, Qin Hui has no reason to die. Then it can only be Liu Chan's own trick, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are they talking about.

"Your Majesty, can you let the ministers see the twists."

Liu Chan also felt that he was a little anxious just now, and sure enough, he showed some horses' feet: "I have already sent someone to burn it." Yue Fei's loyalty can be learned, and if others see this letter, it will inevitably chill his heart. So after I read it, I burned it directly. ”

The corners of Zhao Ding's mouth twitched, he can now be sure that the song is fake, burn it, no one will believe it. However, Zhao Ding can't refute it anymore, who made Liu Chan the superior, the superior can be so taken for granted.

The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while. Fortunately, Zhao Hao next to him was sensible, and said in time: "Your Majesty, this is a specially smoked grass carp with dozens of seasonings in the imperial dining room, and it is not delicious when it is cold." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, Zhao Xiang, you're welcome, come, eat quickly." Liu Chan reacted and hurriedly greeted him.

Liu Chan and Zhao Ding ate for a while, the atmosphere was still a little solemn, and suddenly Zhao Ding spoke: "Your Majesty, why do you have to personally conquer the Northern Expedition this time." ”

Liu Chan stopped his chopsticks and said with a solemn expression: "Since Bianliang was broken and the queen was taken captive to the Jin Kingdom, I couldn't sleep and eat. The reason why I didn't say it clearly in the court was because our court didn't have a general, and my strength was not as good as that of the Jin Kingdom, so I endured it. Now, the younger generation of generals has been trained, and the strength of the army has improved a lot, so I don't want to endure it anymore. If I don't welcome back the queen in person, then where is the dignity of the royal family, where is my dignity. ”

Zhao Ding didn't expect Liu Chan to think like this, maybe the officials in the entire court didn't expect that this was just an ordinary thing in their eyes, after all, the first emperor was taken captive, let alone a queen. It's just that everyone didn't expect Liu Chan to value the queen so much that he was willing to conquer the Jin Kingdom for him. Zhao Ding suddenly felt that the emperor in front of him had become more humane, hey, no, your father is not also in the Jin Kingdom, why haven't I seen you mention it. Oh yes, the first emperor has died. But your brother and mother are still there, so I haven't seen you mention it.

Zhao Ding looked at Liu Chan with a look that didn't look like a joke, knowing that it was impossible for him to stop him. So he said: "Since this is the case, then the old minister will agree to Your Majesty." There will be ministers there to persuade the officials in person, but Qin Hui will have to trouble His Majesty to persuade him personally. ”

The officials are not of the same mind, Zhao Ding can at most ensure that the people on his side support Liu Chan, but Qin Hui is there, he can't speak. Because of the different factions of the civil officials of the Song Dynasty, the struggle between them was also extremely serious. This is also the reason why the Song Dynasty was enterprising, but not enterprising. The forces under the command of the leftist prime minister, who are supposed to be in power and opposition, are not united, and each has its own careful thinking. It's like preparing for war today, and suddenly receiving a holy decree of armistice. In this case, how can you still fight.

Liu Chan looked overjoyed, and poured another glass of wine for Zhao Ding: "If Zhao Xiang understands me, then there will be Zhao Xiang in state affairs." I watched the prince's level of governance not bad, and Zhao Xiang taught him more. When the province succeeded to the throne, something went wrong. Liu Chan has clearly told Zhao Ding that the crown prince Zhao Ying will be the successor to the throne in the future, even if Zhao Ying has not been canonized as the crown prince now.

Zhao Ding was quite surprised, he didn't expect Liu Chan to say it so directly. In the Song Dynasty, where have you ever seen such a straightforward transfer of power? Also, Your Majesty, weren't you still pulling on the crown prince's position before, how did you figure it out.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, the consideration of the successor was very serious and direct. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was mediocre in his later years, and he came to the drama of punishing the prince with one hand, which directly reduced most of the national strength of the Han Dynasty. This also made the later emperors particularly important to the succession to the throne, and once the crown prince was determined, he would not move if he could. After all, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty has his own small court, which is the elite of the next generation of the Han Dynasty, and it is easy to affect the national strength if the prince moves. What Liu Chan didn't know was that since the Han Dynasty, the authority of the crown prince has declined a lot, coupled with Li Shimin's experience, so the current prince actually doesn't have much power.

In addition, Liu Chan has crossed over after all, and he has no heirs. So there is not much to do with passing the throne to Zhao Ying, anyway, no matter who it is, it is not the Zhao family, and it has nothing to do with him.

Zhao Ding raised his glass and said: "The minister will never fail His Majesty's wishes, and he will definitely teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seriously." ”

"Okay, that's good."

After the meal, Liu Chan lay comfortably on his chair, finally settled the matter, and was about to go to the battlefield. Liu Chan was a little excited, suddenly stood up, picked up the Xuantie sword hanging on the wall, swung it a few times, and the corners of his mouth twitched, it was too light.

Liu Chan summoned Zhao Hao: "Go, tell the Ministry of Industry, let them build a sword that can go to the battlefield, and add a Qinglong Yanyue Knife." "The crown prince of the Han Dynasty practiced martial arts, so Liu Chan's martial arts level was not low. What's more, Liu Chan's father is Liu Bei, the second uncle is Guan Yu, the third uncle is Zhang Fei, and a series of predecessors such as Zhao Yun watched, no matter how stupid Liu Chan was, the level of force was also leveraged.

Liu Chan remembered the picture when he and Zhao Yun were killing indiscriminately in and out of Changbanpo seven times and seven out, he was in charge of Gaga, and Zhao Yun was in charge of indiscriminate killing. Thinking, thinking, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Chan's mouth. Even if you are in a strange era, you still have memories to accompany you, and it doesn't seem so lonely.
