1340. Demonstrations in the Song Dynasty

"How can it be..."

Yuan Zhenzi smiled very naturally, "The emperor clearly understands that it is not the old Taoist who asked Qing Huizi to come to Changsha to serve as the chairman, but she proposed it herself."

Zhao Dongting looked at Yuan Zhenzi with suspicious eyes.

He really doesn't believe this unreliable celestial master.

But from Yuan Zhenzi's face mountain, he really couldn't see anything wrong. Yuan Zhenzi's words should be true.

Zhao Dongting laughed in his heart, maybe he was thinking too much.

Think about it again, even if Qing Huizi was deliberately arranged by Yuan Zhenzi to Changsha, what if?

Qinghuizi is a rare beauty in the world, not a giant beast.

After a little stunned, Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Please let me know..."

Yuan Zhenzi bowed again and chased the people in front of him.

Zhao Dongting took Eunuch Liu, Li Goudan and others to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, except for the girls, Concubine Yang Shu, Xie Daoqing, and Empress Dowager Quan who was actually sent to the cold palace were invited here.

After all, Zhao Dongting is not a tough person.

When Queen Mother Quan was in rebellion, her family was implicated, dismissed and exiled. Queen Mother Quan almost had no relatives in this imperial city.

Zhao Dongting couldn't bear to see her staying in the deserted forbidden palace on New Year's Eve.

Just because she thought that Empress Dowager Quan might not want to see her, she just asked the eunuch to report that she did not mean to force her to come to the bedroom.

He was still a little surprised when he just walked into the bedroom and saw that Empress Dowager Quan was also inside.

At the same time, my heart suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Judging from the appearance of Queen Mother Quan, she must have let go of the hatred in her heart.

He walked to Xie Daoqing, Empress Dowager Quan and Concubine Yang Shu, and saluted the three of them in turn.

Empress Dowager Quan looked at Zhao Dongting with a complicated look, and finally stood up and said to Zhao Dongting: "I thank you, the emperor..."

Zhao Dongting sighed and waved his hand, "The Empress Dowager, you need to be polite."

Thinking about it, he said again: "If the Empress Dowager is lonely in the palace, he can move to the Empress Dowager's harem in the future."

As he said that, he looked at Xie Daoqing, "I wonder what the Empress Dowager thinks?"

Xie Daoqing and Empress Dowager Quan both showed a slight surprise.

Empress Dowager Quan turned her head and looked at Xie Daoqing with anticipation.

Xie Daoqing looked at her and nodded, "I am very lonely in the palace. You can accompany me in the palace in the future!"

Queen Mother Quan once bewitched her, almost causing chaos in the Song Dynasty. After the truth was revealed, she was extremely disappointed with Queen Mother Quan, but until now, those dissatisfactions have disappeared.

Queen Mother Quan was finally the daughter-in-law she once valued the most, and she served her on the Mongolian Plateau for so many years.

When you let go of your desire for power in your heart, there are actually many things that you will naturally see.

Concubine Yang looked around with a heartfelt smile on her face.

The next day, Zhao Dongting led all the royal relatives, and the top officials in the court, Buddha and Taoism, to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heaven and earth, and to pray for blessings to the people of heaven.

This can be said to be the most prosperous sacrificial ceremony since the Song Dynasty.

The Buddha and the leaders of the Taoist sects are all highly respected people. There are many heavenly masters and holy monks.

Zhao Dongting knelt on the ground, looked at the Langlang Sky, and murmured: "Maybe it won't take long..."

Time passed by several days soon.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year in various parts of the Song Dynasty has not yet disappeared.

North of Xiangyang Prefecture.

The marshal of Xianglong Military Region, Yue Peng, personally led Tiankui and the two armies of Xiangyang Prefecture to reach the borders of the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.

There are ten thousand Tiankui troops and ten thousand Xiangyang prefecture guards.

In the vast wilderness, after the soldiers of the two armies rushed to the border, they ignored the boundary marker under Yue Peng's order and went straight into the Yuan Dynasty for more than ten miles. Then they set up a camp in the wilderness.

Shortly after camping, smoke from cooking fires rose up in the camp.

That night, at this secluded border, there was a sound of cannons.

The grenade launcher battalion in Tiankui's army was sailing along the north side of the camp, and thousands of grenade launchers were aimed at the north and fired together.

Such a formation cannot be concealed from the Yuan Dynasty's exploration.

And Zhao Dongting and Yue Peng want this effect.

After the sound of cannons stopped, Zhao Hu, who was standing next to Yue Peng, chuckled and said, "Marson, we came to the Yuan Dynasty with such a big fanfare, it should be a shock to the old boy Zhenjin!"

"Who knows!"

Yue Peng said with a serious look: "Now there are arms in the Yuan army, and their combat power must have earth-shaking changes. They may not be as afraid of us as before."

He would not say this to others. But in front of Zhao Hu, he did not have such concerns.

As the commander of the Tiankui Army, Yue Peng was in charge of the Xiangyang Prefecture General Military Region. In addition, the relationship between the two was very good, Zhao Da is now Yue Peng's right-hand man.

When Zhao Hu heard this, he pondered: "Then do you think the Yuan Dynasty will fight with us like this?"

Yue Peng replied: "It depends on whether the army they gathered in Qingyuan and other routes will continue to march into Xixia."

"So what?" Zhao Hu said.

Yue Peng looked into the dark night in the north, "If the Yuan Dynasty still insisted on entering Xixia, I think the emperor might take the initiative to start a war against the Yuan Dynasty this time."

"Isn't this possible?"

Zhao Hu said in surprise: "We have followed the emperor to the north and the north until now, but the emperor has never taken the initiative to attack the territory of the Yuan Dynasty."

“It’s different from the past…”

Yue Peng sighed lightly: "In the past, our Song Dynasty had arms, and the emperor did not take the initiative to attack the Yuan Dynasty. That was because he did not want to be militant, which affected the lives of the people and focused on the livelihood of the people. Now, the lives of the people in our Song Dynasty are already very good. The Yuan Dynasty also has firearms, so the emperor should not sit idly by and watch the Yuan Dynasty continue to grow. Now, while the Yuan army is not good at armistice battles, we may be able to gain some convenience. If we wait, we will not only be unpredictable, but even if we win, we will inevitably suffer from damage. The emperor's previous efforts were in vain."

Zhao Hu gritted his teeth, "Damn it, just kill those Yuan thieves."

As he said that, he suddenly looked at Yue Peng, "Then why don't the emperor let us attack the main mansion on Nanjing Road directly?"

Yue Peng laughed, "You, you really have to use your brain more. The emperor's move is intended to make the Yuan Dynasty give up Xixia. If the empress can destroy Daxia, our Song Dynasty can concentrate all our efforts to deal with the Yuan Dynasty. The same is true for the Yuan army to help Daxia. The war in Xixia is actually the struggle between our Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. It only depends on who will not be able to hold back first and upgrade this war to a real confrontation between the two countries."

Zhao Hu nodded in a vague way.

...

Time passed by several days.

The territory of Xixia is still in a rather peaceful state.

Although the atmosphere was extremely depressed, the two armies of Xixia and Daxia did not confront each other again.

The two major army commanders of Xiping and Heishui Town, Yan, and the imperial guards of the Shuzhong Military Region of the Song Dynasty were still on the way, getting closer and closer to Zhongxing Prefecture.

The three armies of Yuanqingyuan, Fuyan and Hebei Northeast are probably still preparing and have not officially set out.

Yuan Zhongdu.

A eunuch hurriedly "breaks" into the imperial study room of Zhenjin.

As soon as he arrived in the room, he fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the military on Nanjing Road."

Zhen Jin raised his head after the thick memorial, his face was full of fatigue, "Come on."

The old eunuch next to him hurriedly trotted up to receive the urgent military report and delivered it to Zhen Jin.

Zhen Jin rubbed his eyes, cheered up and opened the letter.

The emperor is not easy to do. It is not an exaggeration to say that he slept later than a dog and got up earlier than a chicken.

After all, the real gold is worse than his father Kublai Khan. Since he became the emperor, he has been exhausted, and now he can see some gray hair on his temples.

After seeing the contents of the letter, the fatigue on his face suddenly disappeared. What he changed was full of solemnity and anger.

The old eunuch next to him opened his mouth, and wanted to ask what happened to Zhen Jin, but he didn't dare to speak out when he saw Zhen Jin's appearance.

Then he heard Zhen Jin say in a deep voice: "Go and bring Harbala Xuan."

The old eunuch hurriedly took the order and walked out of the imperial study room.

Not long after, the black tiger Harbala, who is currently the Grand Marshal of the Yuan Dynasty, hurried to the imperial study room.

When he entered the room, he bowed to Zhenjin, "Master!"

Zhen Jin handed him the secret letter in his hand and said, "Look at this letter."

After reading the letter, Harbala's expression changed slightly and said in a lost voice: "The Song army is demonstrating to our court..."

"snort!"

Zhenjin snorted heavily, and said angrily: "We all came to my Dayuan territory, of course we were demonstrating to us."
