"Your Majesty. Are you really going to accept it?" Dong Songchen asked.

Since the departure of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Yun has wandered around the back garden without any purpose, looking like he is wandering out of the world.

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, you also know that my nephew is too uncompromising, if he is just dull, but he actually made such a move? How can I accept this?" The reason why he agreed to this matter was that he saw the pressure of the ministers, and on the other hand, he also took into account Zhao Xu's problem.

In the current turbulent situation of the Song Dynasty, if Zhao Xuan is allowed to take the throne, I am afraid that he will also be the king of the dead country.

Zhao Yun is quite clear about this.

"Alas. Your Majesty also worked hard, but it's a pity for the prince. Dong Songchen said regretfully.

Zhao Yun smiled with relief: "Perhaps, it is best to let him spend his life with peace of mind." "Now that I think about it, I also feel that Zhao Xuan is not suitable to be a king, so it is not a bad thing to accept it.

This throne is actually not so easy to hold!

"Then where is Your Majesty going next? Let someone arrange it for you?"

Dong Songchen secretly remembered this scene in his heart, but his mind was turbulent.

"Well, why hasn't Jia Rudao arrived yet? If we go on like this, I'm afraid we're all going to be finished. ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and replied, "No." I don't want to go anywhere today, so let's take a good rest here. Now, he can already feel the failure of his body, so he doesn't have the heart to look for flowers and willows.

The heavy state affairs, as well as the residual injuries caused by the impact of the ancestral dragon at the beginning, as well as the obsession of those women, were constantly wearing down Zhao Yun's body, making him feel more and more tired, although he was eager to see the moment of success of the Northern Expedition, but he felt that he could not go that far.

So now, Zhao Yun has begun to plan to take care of everything while he is still alive, so that future generations will not suffer these crimes.

After walking for about an hour or two, Zhao Yun also felt a little tired: "Alas, it seems that I am also old, and I can't even walk such a little distance." ”

"Then why don't you let me support Your Majesty?" Dong Songchen immediately stepped forward and helped Zhao Yun up.

"It's fine. It's not like I don't even have the stamina. ”

Zhao Yun waved his hand and pushed Dong Songchen away, his eyes fell on the Kunning Palace in the distance, and his heart was a little flustered.

Dong Songchen was thoughtful and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to go and see the queen?"

"Naturally. After all, it's been a couple for so long. If I was still so alive at this time, what would it look like? After all, after death, she will be the only one who will accompany me for the rest of my life. Zhao Yun's voice was a little ethereal, waved his hand at Dong Songchen, and said, "You can step down and let me stay with the queen for a while." ”

"A certain family understands, and a certain family will leave. ”

Dong Songchen retreated as he said.

Zhao Yun walked towards Kunning Palace, and in a trance, the scene of the past appeared in front of him, and he smiled bitterly: "Alas." For so many years, it has also suffered you. I only hope that now, you can forgive me. Before stepping through the door, he pressed his hand in front of the palace door, and although he hesitated for a moment, he pushed it away with all his might.

The slowly opening door seems to symbolize the beginning of the ice dissipation.

On the other side, since Dong Songchen left Zhao Yun, he immediately saw a little eunuch holding a piece of paper to him.

"Is it Jia Yidao? I didn't expect him to come now?"

After reading the note, Dong Songchen was a little anxious, and hurriedly found a reason to leave from the palace, and then came to the Sunset Pavilion of Tianmu Mountain, where the note was located.

This sunset pavilion is located on the top of a mountain, surrounded by clouds, if in the early hours of the morning, you will see thousands of morning rays falling, making it like a fire, so it is called the sunset pavilion.

Seeing the familiar person sitting there, Dong Songchen complained: "Alas. Didn't I message you ten days ago? Why are you here now?"

It has been some time since the ministers impeached Jia Nidao, and then the prince's affairs were also unsettled, and Jia Nidao was not there in these things, which naturally made Dong Songchen very angry.

You know, if these things are not handled well, they will all die.

Jia Rudao snorted lightly, his face was as cold as usual, and replied: "Actually, I have been back a long time ago." ”

"You're back a long time ago, and in that case, why haven't you shown up?" Dong Songchen complained.

Jia Rudao retorted: "Show up? You don't look at what time it is, if I show up, I will only become the target of their attack." Got it?"

"Because of the Northern Expedition?" Dong Songchen asked.

"That's right. This is a critical time, if His Majesty finds out and I leave rashly at this time, what do you think Your Majesty will do? And those people, of course, will also seize this opportunity to make a fuss. If I show up at this time, I'll be a target for them. Got it?" Jia Rudao sneered, he knew all this, but because of the current situation, he never showed up.

Dong Songchen began to worry: "If that's the case, then what should we do?"

Zhao Yun has agreed, agreed to depose the crown prince, and began to select candidates.

And the object of the prince is also controlled by Zhao Xibo. When that guy chooses the prince candidate, he will naturally not be kind, and will only choose a person who is inclined to himself. And if Zhao Xibo is ambitious, I am afraid that he will be the same as Shi Miyuan, and he will directly come to the government and the opposition.

When the time comes, Jia Rudao, Dong Songchen and their subordinates will definitely be purged.

"Hmph. Although those people are against the prince, they are actually against us. Jia Rudao looked hideous, and said: "So the key now is the prince." As long as we can stabilize the prince, then we naturally don't have to worry. But if the prince is in danger, then we will both be unlucky. ”

Dong Songchen replied: "Of course I know. But you also know that the official family has promised to depose the crown prince, although it has not yet been announced. But if it does, so what?

"Then tell me, why did they depose the prince? Jia Rudao said with a smile.

Dong Songchen replied: "Of course, it's because the prince robbed the people's daughters. ”

"Robbing the people's daughters? It's just a matter of mutual affection, where did the robbers come from? Let's ask the whole world, who doesn't want to become the crown princess? After all, she can honor the world, and who can refuse?" Jia Rudao said with a sneer.

Dong Songchen's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "You mean, let the prince and that folk girl cook rice?" Then he showed a little annoyance: "It's just that the woman is very stubborn, I'm afraid she won't agree." ”

Afterwards, Dong Songchen also sent someone to understand the woman, and naturally knew that this woman had a strong temperament and was not the kind of person who would give in easily.

"She probably won't say yes. But what about her family? And her parents and her brothers? And what about her friends and relatives? Are they the same?" Jia Rudao looked disdainful, and casually called out many words.

Dong Songchen thought for a moment and laughed: "Your method is not bad, I'll do it." Just as he was leaving, he felt a little nervous when he saw Jia Rudao, and asked in a low voice: "By the way, when are you going to show up?" After all, in the current situation, if you don't come out, I'm afraid you won't be able to come out!"

"The timing is not good, it's not time yet. Jia Rudao shook his head, and his eyebrows were also tightened.

Because of this Northern Expedition, he was also dragged down for a long time, and now he still regrets thinking about it, thinking that he shouldn't have personally made the Northern Expedition, but now it's like this, and he can only continue to hold on.

Dong Songchen asked, "Then when is the time ripe?"

"You'll have to deal with this. After all, it's inconvenient for me to show up now, and I can't handle many things in person. Got it?" Jia Rudao pursed his lips, and his eyebrows were also a little worried.

Dong Songchen closed his head and replied: "Okay, then I'll give it a try." After all, those people are too rampant, and if they don't fight back, I'm afraid they will be treated as soft eggs. ”

Seeing Dong Songchen leave, Jia Rudao breathed a sigh of relief, but he talked about the front line.

"I just don't know what Lu Wende did, if he can successfully recover the Central Plains according to my expectations, maybe I can also pull him along. But what if it fails? After all, the Mongols are no ordinary people, and if they really have the strength to fight back, then I will be really bad. ”

At this time, Jia Yidao also understood that if the Northern Expedition failed, his political career would be over.

Zhao Yun will not accept a failed person and continue to stay in the court.

............

Xuzhou!

A horseman flew into the city, bringing news from afar.

"General Qiyu, General Xia Gui has now captured Weifang, and begs us to allocate 3,000 stone of grain to him. ”

Hearing this news, Gao Gao frowned slightly, and scolded in a low voice: "This Xia Gui, why did you come to ask for food again? Didn't you give him 3,000 stones a few days ago? Why did you run out of food in less than ten days and half a month?"

Lu Wende didn't care, and asked again: "Then do you know what the reason is?"

According to General Xia. There were many people along the way, and in order to win over the local residents, they naturally had to distribute food, which naturally consumed a lot. The herald explained.

Lu Wende felt strange and asked, "Why has the number of displaced people here suddenly increased so much?"

"According to our investigation. It seems that the Mongolian side is enforcing a sea ban and is preparing to move all the people within 30 miles of the coast. As a result, many people were forced to leave their homes. General Xia felt pity in his heart, so he took it in so as not to starve the people. ”

"This is clearly the enemy's strategy, doesn't he understand?" Gouda scolded, feeling unworthy of being wasted so much food.

Lu Wende replied: "Maybe." But don't forget, if we don't, I'm afraid we won't be able to move an inch here, otherwise how can we achieve such a big result?"

"But at least it shouldn't affect the movement of troops. If everyone is like him, today it costs 300 stones, and tomorrow it costs 500 dantals, who can bear it?" Gundam scolded.

All of that food was allocated from his army, which naturally made Gundam extremely distressed.

Lu Wende replied: "Maybe." However, this Mongolia is also treacherous, and has always avoided fighting. It seems that it is impossible to eliminate it smoothly. ”

"Probably. ”

Gundam felt a little discouraged and replied, "If the two of them are here, I'm afraid that this time to recover the Central Plains, I'm afraid it will end up without a problem." ”
