A one-sided massacre, the Song army was killed and retreated by the Jin army like a sheep, how could they all be crushed for thousands of miles.

"It's over! Finished! ”

Zhang Xiaochun looked at the corpses that stretched to the sky, almost all of them belonged to the Song army.

"At least 20,000 dead!"

Ma Kuo muttered that this rout came too suddenly, and his heart rose and fell greatly, and he was dissatisfied with the feeling of sadness for the death of the rabbit and the fox.

This battle completely defeated the reinforcements of Taiyuan Mansion, which was already an isolated city.

……

Tokyo, Early Dynasty.

Today is the first time that the crown prince Zhao Huan has gone to the court, and there are a lot of people attending the court meeting, and almost all the civil and military officials in Tokyo have arrived.

Everyone understands a truth, the crown prince is the first in line to the throne, and the only legal heir, and now that the emperor is seriously ill, the crown prince should inherit the throne, and the first court meeting of the new emperor cannot be missed.

Even a group of princes arrived, such as Zhao Kai, Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu, Jing, Zhaoqi, Zhaoxu, Yi, Zhao, Kang, Zhao, Qi, Zhaomo, Xin, Zhao, Yi, Zhaopu, and Xu......

Behind the princes, Zhao Ji's queen and concubines were sitting behind the curtain.

Zhao Huan's biological mother, Empress Xiangong Wang, died when Zhao Huan was eight years old, and now these queen concubines in the harem are not here to help Zhao Huan, but to help the emperors.

Although Zhao Huan is the legal heir to the throne, no one will give up the throne easily, Zhao Huan is still the crown prince, as long as Zhao Huan is not the emperor for a day, then there is still hope for the throne.

The court meeting still started according to the etiquette system, and hundreds of officials greeted each other, but the princes only bowed slightly, and did not perform the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, but as if brothers met.

The attendants who presided over the ceremonies saw everything in their eyes, and the hundred officials also saw everything in their eyes, but no one spoke, they all looked at their nose and nose.

There have been successive generations of competition for the throne, and it is never good to stand in line in a hurry, these are royal things, the smartest thing to be a courtier is the grass on the wall, and it is not too late to show loyalty when all the dust settles, and the new emperor is inseparable from the courtiers to govern the country.

The eunuchs are also invisible, Zhao Huan is indeed the highest status among the princes, and he is also the respect of the prince, but Zhao Huan is just one person, his mother Xiangong Queen Wang left early, and no one supported him in the harem, and the rest of the princes are supported by concubines and relatives.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Huan is indeed the first candidate for the throne, but Zhao Ji is not dead, Zhao Huan does not officially ascend the throne and become the emperor for a day, even if he is not the real emperor, everything is still variable.

Zhao Huan didn't seem to see the perfunctory attitude of his brothers, and there were still undried tears and a touch of sadness on his face, as if he was worried about his father Zhao Ji's condition.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, great joy, Hedong good news, the army has recovered five cities!"

An official suddenly came out of class and reported with a smile, today is Zhao Huan's first morning court, and the first news is naturally a happy event.

"Great!"

The sadness on Zhao Huan's face dissipated, and he shouted with joy on his face, Tokyo has not received good news for too long.

Baiguan also had a relaxed face, and this good news came too timely.

"Brother Huang, now the people in the city are unstable, Gai is besieging the city due to floods, and the rations are cut off, please open a warehouse to help the people!"

Zhao Gou saw that no one had the meaning to speak anymore, so he politely hugged his fists and said, his words were decent, neither humble nor arrogant, which not only gave Zhao Huan face, but also took on his own responsibility.

"The ninth brother is very right, the stability of the city is very important, the ninth brother is responsible for this matter, Kaifeng Mansion will fully cooperate!"

Zhao Huan nodded and said, now that my father is seriously ill, he has just taken charge of the dynasty, Tokyo is besieged by floods, and stability in the city is the top priority.

"Yes!"

Zhao Gou bowed and stepped aside.

This move made the ministers look sideways, and Zhao Gou's behavior made everyone nod slightly, when such a storm is in turmoil, this King Kang can focus on the overall situation, which has won everyone's praise.

"Your Majesty, the thieves of the Qi State occupy the entire Hebei, and now the north of the Yellow River has fallen into the hands of thieves, please send troops to destroy the thieves!"

An imperial historian suddenly came out of class to speak, and when these words landed, the atmosphere of the cheerful court just now instantly cooled down, and the entire court became silent.

"Who has the means?"

Zhao Huan looked at everyone and asked, he lacked assertiveness, and he had ideas in the face of this kind of problem.

"Your Majesty, in the face of thieves, there is no other way but to fight!"

Li Gang went out of class directly and spoke, his voice was thick and penetrating, which attracted everyone's attention at once, even those princes were sideways, and the concubines behind the curtain seemed to be whispering.

"Battle?"

Zhao Huan's face was full of hesitation, the word war was simple, but they faced the repeated defeats of the Qi State, how could they fight.

Zhao Huan looked at Tong Guan and sought the advice of the Great Song Privy Envoy, he couldn't be the master of this war alone.

"Now that the city of Tokyo is besieged by floods, grain and grass are used to help the people, and the war may have to be postponed!"

Tong Guan did not oppose the war, he was a privy envoy, in charge of the world's military affairs, he couldn't avoid the war in the face of the enemy's attack on the city, but he was unwilling to continue to fight with Sun Lei, he was already afraid, he had lost too much.

"That makes sense!"

Zhao Huan nodded again and again, Tong Guan's words went to his heart, now everything is complicated, and it is not appropriate to start a war now.

Li Gang frowned when he heard this, Tong Guan's words were obviously delaying, but he couldn't refute it, Tong Guan's words also made sense, although the matter in Hebei was urgent, the matter in Tokyo was even more urgent.

Li Gang hesitated for a moment and retreated to Chaoban, the matter of Tokyo was important.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Majesty the Emperor is seriously ill, and now although the imperial doctor has stabilized his condition, His Majesty is not in good spirits, please recruit people with strong Taoism, hold Luo Tian Dajiao, and ask for blessings!"

Someone else came out of class and spoke.

"Yes, yes, yes, you want to set up Jiao Xing, please come to the Supreme of the Heavens, and bless my Great Song!"

Zhao Huan clapped his hands with joy when he heard it, he had already believed in the art of Shinto, and now that someone mentioned that he wanted to do Luo Tian Dajiao, he immediately came to the spirit, and he hoped that all his troubles could be solved by asking Shinto.

"You do it quickly, this flood can only be retreated by people with profound Taoism!"

Zhao Huan looked at the official who had just spoken and said, and even handed over the flood to the Divine Dao Technique.

"Your Highness, the flood came from the bursting of the Yellow River, how can this Taoist priest solve it? This matter still has to communicate with Liang Shanbo, and block the river embankment to retreat the flood! ”

Yushi Chen He came out of class and said.

"Nonsense, the Taoism can stop the flow of the Yellow River, what is a small flood?"

Zhao Huan opened his mouth and said, he firmly believed in the power of the Dao Law.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the son is silent, and the power is confused! His Royal Highness is now presiding over the government, how can he listen to and believe partially, this Shinto technique is illusory. If the Yellow River is cut off and the water is accumulated, isn't Tokyo more dangerous? ”

Chen He didn't give the emperor a good face, as the imperial historian, he not only had to supervise the ministers, but also to supervise the emperor.

"You ......"

Zhao Huan was so stunned by Chen He that he had nothing to say, all the brothers looked at him with a smile, Zhao Huan knew that he couldn't be willful anymore, although he had no opinions, but he was not a fool as a prince for so many years. (End of chapter)
