Liu Guangshi suffered a big defeat, which made Zhao Gou sick for a few days, and after his health improved, he summoned Qin Hui and other surrenderers to the imperial front.

"Qin Qingyan, can we contact Jin Guo to deal with that Zhao Yingluo together? But now that Song Jin is an enemy country, how can they help me? ”

Qin Hui said with a smile, "Official, that Zhao Yingluo once defeated the army of the Jin Kingdom, and the people of the Jin Kingdom also hate it to the core, as long as we promise benefits, how can they not send troops?" ”

After Zhu Shengfei learned the news, he was even more uneasy. He knew very well that Zhao Yingluo's purpose was to win the hearts of the people and expand his power by solving the problem of food and clothing for the people. If the official family really united with the Jin people to attack from the north and south, it would not only bring a great threat to Zhao Yingluo, but also bring turmoil to Lin'an City and even the entire Southern Song Dynasty.

"My lord, should we immediately make a statement to the official family to stop him from conspiring with the Jin people?" Zhu Shengfei's staff asked.

Zhu Shengfei took a deep breath, "Now that the official family can't listen to my advice, we can only wait and see." However, we also need to be prepared to deal with it, especially to pay close attention to Zhao Yingluo's movements. ”

In the following days, Zhu Shengfei paid attention to the movements of the imperial court and stepped up his investigation of Zhao Yingluo. He sent a lot of spies to all corners of Lin'an City to collect information about Zhao Yingluo.

At the same time, Zhao Yingluo is also taking active action. She knew that her plan had attracted the attention of the imperial court, and if the official family really united with the Jin people to attack from the north and south, her own power would face a great threat. Therefore, she decided to take some measures to expand her sphere of influence.

Zhao Yingluo began to acquire a large number of restaurants, inns, shops, etc. in Lin'an City, transforming them into his own stronghold. She also actively recruited more soldiers and strengthened training to improve her military strength. At the same time, she also got in touch with the Jin people through various channels, hoping to resolve the hostility with the Jin country.

After Zhu Shengfei learned these news, his heart was even more uneasy. He knew that Zhao Yingluo's power had become stronger and stronger, and if she was allowed to continue to expand, it would pose a great threat to the Southern Song court. Therefore, he decided to take action to stop Zhao's expansion plans.

Zhu Shengfei united a number of ministers loyal to the imperial court and jointly wrote to the official family, asking the official family to take immediate measures to stop Zhao Yingluo's expansion plan. Their reason was that Zhao Yingluo's acquisition of a large number of restaurants, inns, shops and other strongholds in Lin'an City had seriously threatened the dominance of the imperial court. If she is allowed to continue to expand, it will pose a great threat to the Southern Song court.

When the official family heard the news, they were also very shocked. He immediately summoned the ministers of the court to discuss countermeasures. After some heated discussions, the officials decided to take tough measures to stop Zhao's expansion plans. He ordered Zhu Shengfei to personally lead his troops to Lin'an City to clear Zhao Yingluo's forces.

After Zhu Shengfei received the order, he immediately led the army to Lin'an City. In just a few days, they cleared all of Zhao Yingluo's strongholds in Lin'an City, arrested Zhao Yingluo's generals and soldiers, and escorted them back to the imperial court.

When Zhao Yingluo learned the news, she was very angry. She knew that she could no longer confront the court, but she didn't want to be caught with her hands either. Therefore, she decided to take some measures to defuse the hostilities with the imperial court. She wrote a letter to the officials, expressing her willingness to submit to the court and assist the officials in eradicating the rebels. At the same time, she also expressed her willingness to donate all her food to the imperial court to help alleviate the famine problem.

After receiving this letter, the official family was very happy and immediately sent an envoy to welcome Zhao Yingluo back to Beijing, and promised to give her a certain reward and let her continue to manage the affairs of Lin'an City, so as to show the court's trust in her.

Although Zhu Shengfei was reluctant, he had to accept this fact, he knew that he could not change the decision of the official family, so he wrote to Qin Hui to express his dissatisfaction and concern, he was worried that this Zhao Yingluo would become the second threatening figure like Liu Guangshi or Wu Sangui......

In Zhu Shengfei's worries, Zhao Yingluo returned to Lin'an City. As soon as she returned, she immediately set about solving the problem of food and clothing for the people. Through various means, she mobilized a large amount of food from other regions, so that the people of Lin'an City no longer had to worry about hunger.

At the same time, Zhao Yingluo also strengthened her military training and improved the combat effectiveness of her soldiers. She knew that only if she was strong enough could she deal with the threats that might arise.

However, Zhu Shengfei did not give up his surveillance of Zhao Yingluo. He sent more spies to keep an eye on Zhao Yingluo's every move.

At the same time, Jin Ren also began to become interested in Zhao Yingluo. They believed that if they could cooperate with this woman who had a certain amount of power in the Southern Song court, they might be able to pose a greater threat to the Southern Song court.

So, Jin Ren began to contact Zhao Yingluo and expressed his willingness to cooperate with her. Zhao Yingluo is also aware of the Jin people's ambitions, but she sees this as an opportunity to expand her sphere of influence by cooperating with the Jin people.

However, when Zhu Shengfei learned the news, he immediately took action. He united some ministers loyal to the imperial court and jointly wrote to the official family, asking the official family to take immediate measures to stop Zhao Yingluo's cooperation with the Jin people. Their reasoning was that Zhao Yingluo's acquisition of a large number of restaurants, inns, shops and other strongholds in Lin'an City had seriously threatened the dominance of the imperial court, and if she was allowed to continue to expand, it would pose a great threat to the Southern Song court.

After a heated discussion, the official family decided to take strong measures to stop Zhao Yingluo's expansion plan, and he ordered Zhu Shengfei to personally lead troops to Lin'an City to clear Zhao Yingluo's forces.

After receiving the order, Zhu Shengfei immediately led the army to Lin'an City, and in just a few days, they cleared all Zhao Yingluo's strongholds in Lin'an City, arrested Zhao Yingluo's generals and soldiers, and escorted them back to the imperial court.

Zhao Yingluo was very angry when she heard the news, she knew that she could no longer fight against the imperial court, but she also did not want to be captured, so she decided to take some measures to resolve the hostility with the imperial court, she wrote a letter to the official family, expressing her willingness to submit to the imperial court and assist the official family in eradicating those rebels, and she also expressed her willingness to donate all her food to the imperial court to help alleviate the famine problem.

After receiving this letter, the official family was very happy and immediately sent an envoy to welcome Zhao Yingluo back to Beijing, and promised to give her a certain reward and let her continue to manage the affairs of Lin'an City, so as to show the court's trust in her.
