Chapter seventy-ninth

While the two were talking, Zhao Dun, who was only half a year old, was sent by the palace nurse. Empress Meng hugged him and teased him for a while. After a while, seeing Zhao Huan still pondering, Empress Meng laughed and said, "The official family doesn't have to care much. Rumors stop at the wise. The villains are bored and gossiping, and they dare to use any private words to talk nonsense. If they take it seriously, it's a great deal."

Huan nodded calmly and said with a smile. He knew that although Empress Meng had been in the deep palace for many years and had been deeply aware of the tricks of the ghost realm in the palace, she was a little weaker in her knowledge. She only thought it was an unintentional act of eunuchs and villains, but she was not alert. She thought about who was causing trouble under this undercurrent.

There was nothing to say for a moment. Zhao Huan was about to quit, but saw Empress Meng put down Zhao Dun, ordered the palace servant to carry the general out, and ordered the idle man to retreat, and then said to Zhao Huan: "It's okay for the officials, but I heard recently that the Later Jin people of Luoyang's victory asked for peace, but the officials refused to agree. Can this be taken seriously?"

"That's right. It's just that the Jin people's plan is to destroy my fighting spirit by discussing peace and destroying my fighting spirit in the Song Dynasty. Now that the two countries have fought at this point, if they don't win or lose, how can they have room for peace? I repelled the Jin envoy and issued an edict in the world that anyone who has any words to discuss peace can be executed will be killed without forgiveness!"

"Oh? The official dealt with it well."

Empress Meng praised her, but her expression was faint. Zhao Huan knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly bowed and smiled: "We are in full swing now, and there is no reason to discuss peace with them now and will be in trouble."

"What I said is." Meng Hou first agreed, then frowned and said, "What I said is right. In theory, I shouldn't interfere with the emperor's government affairs. However, the emperor's family affairs are also related to state affairs. If the matter is involved in the emperor, I have to say a few words."

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is an elder of the royal family. Just say anything."

But when Meng Hou said, "The official family has returned from the five countries, but he has never thought of a way to take back the emperor. Even though the king's army wins every battle, the emperor still suffers in the snow and ice. Whenever he thinks about it, he will inevitably be sad. The official family, since the Jin people are already defeated and have plans to seek peace, why not find a way to welcome the emperor back and then arrange it calmly, isn't it good?"

Zhao Huan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something was wrong.

While thinking about the words in his heart, he replied calmly: "I am naturally sad in my heart when my father is covered in dust. However, I am not anxious about this matter, so I can only arrange it slowly and make proper decisions. The Prime Minister Jin Guo is afraid of us, so it is best to send my father back honestly."

Meng Hou frowned first, but smiled happily and said, "The affairs of the Tian family are not as good as those of the people. Even if there was something between father and son back then, it would be best not to mention it. Since the official family has a clear idea, it is better to express this matter. Otherwise, how can the ministers and the people not know the plans of the official family, how can they be at ease?"

Seeing that Zhao Huan was embarrassed, she said again: "Those rumors are naturally not believed here. However, the emperor has to remind the officials that how to deal with them is naturally the official's responsibility, and I will not say more."

This is a reminder for Zhao Huan. In fact, this royal elder has indeed had good intentions from the bottom of his heart, and does not believe others' words to ask for guilt and attack.

The talk of peace with the Jin Kingdom to welcome the emperor was mentioned many times shortly after Zhao Huan's first return, and even Zhao Gou was at that time. In order to compete with Zhao Huan for a righteous position, he also made a move to find a way to welcome Zhao Ji back.

In the past two years, the Jin people have repeatedly released the ministers of the Song Dynasty. There are many of them who are afraid of fighting against the Jin Dynasty. For example, the elder He Su and others have also been secretly surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and are willing to secretly serve the Jin Dynasty after returning to the country. However, Zhao Huan is very capable. He Su and others were first put in the study class, which is like house arrest. In the past two years, these veteran officials have long dared to cause trouble. They are usually afraid of going out for half a step, let alone expressing political opinions to influence the court. Qin Hui was even subdued by Zhao Huan and did not dare to serve the Jin Dynasty. At this time, they were inspecting government affairs on Fujian Road and reviewing officials. They were still tiring to offend officials and literati throughout the world. Although they were in a high position, they were actually left out of the political affairs hall by Zhao Huan. The real military and national affairs were invisible and had no effect at all.

Due to this failure, the two sides fought again and again in the past two years. In Tongguan, Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, the long front line from Shaanxi and Gansu to Jingxiang, nearly two million troops carried spears and arrows, and blood stained the battlefield. Millions of people ran around the way, carrying countless armor, weapons, food, grass and medicine with dark hands, and both tried their best. The blood of the great Han Han on the vast Loess Plateau and the strong armored knights of the northern country stained the earth. The hunters from the white mountains and black waters and the military rations from Guangdong and Guangxi in Fujian have exhausted the last manpower and material resources of both sides. The hatred has become deeper and deeper, and the grace and retention at the beginning have disappeared. Whether it is a noble official or ordinary military and civilians on both sides, they all know that the two sides have fought all over the whole country. Unless ones on the other completely cross the other, there is no end.

Because of this, the Jin Dynasty's original plan to release prisoners and disrupt the Song Dynasty was gradually put on hold. In the past two years, some small officials and some insignificant low-level concubines were released one after another. As for Zhao Ji, the serious prince and the emperor, they were not allowed to leave each other, and the tighter the control was.

In the fifth year of Jingkang, the situation became more and more tense, and the two sides fought one after another. Zong Bi and Zong Fu and other main war factions set up a guarantee in front of Wu Qimai, and repeatedly sent large troops. Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers gathered in the road, winding thousands of miles. Zong Bi and others were full of passion, thinking that the time to destroy the Song Dynasty was just around the corner, and it was impossible to send it back to Zhao Ji to negotiate peace.

Zhao Huan was devoted to fighting the enemy, and he had no emotions with Zhao Ji, so he hated the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty from the bottom of his heart, so he had no intention of greeting Zhao Ji. If there was nothing wrong, it would be obvious that he was used by someone who was interested, but Zhao Huan could not explain it.

In fact, it was not only him, but even if Zhao Gou had been in his life, he was embarrassed and angry when someone mentioned the words of returning the two emperors. Yue Fei's death was caused by insisting on returning the two emperors.

It’s just that the two of them have different starting points, and the feeling and impact are completely different.

Zhao Huan had no idea of ​​peace and wanted to fight to the end, so naturally he would not have the intention to discuss peace and welcome people. Zhao Gou was determined to keep his throne and was afraid of fighting with the Jin people. Therefore, in every war, as long as he could withstand the attack of the Jin people, he would never expand the results of the war, fearing that the Jin people would really return the two emperors.

The Jin Kingdom also knew Zhao Gou's thoughts and tried to fight him. The two sides had a certain tacit understanding and would never cause trouble in Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan.

But the more this happens, it becomes obvious that Zhao Gou has room to welcome the king and father back then, while Zhao Huan is determined to beat him hard and has no concern for his biological father who is imprisoned in the north. It is not surprising that others have some small accusations.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan suddenly realized and looked at Empress Meng who was smiling and smiling at her. She was really grateful.

The other party was so aware of his help, so naturally because Zhao Huan took good care of himself and did not neglect her aunt. Zhao Huan thought about it and felt ashamed.

Immediately stood up, bowed and bowed deeply, and said seriously: "Thank you, the Queen Mother."

Empress Meng smiled and said, "The official family is a smart person, so they naturally know how to cook. It's too late today, so let's have a good rest."

Zhao Huan agreed with a smile and ordered people to serve Meng Empress. When he saw her tremblingly descending the stairs, a group of palace lanterns shone brightly, and went to the harem like a fire dragon. He lowered his smile on his face, but felt very embarrassed.

The other party praised him for his means, but he knew in his heart that he had only cared about the war ahead recently, and the government and the people were neglected to deal with it. In the past two months, the other party made secret arrangements, and all kinds of measures were sinister and cunning, causing trouble and causing trouble. When he found out, this was the case in the palace and even more contemptuous of the people.

He arranged the Dengwensi and the pedestriansi, thinking that he had mastered officials with one hand and inspected military information with the other, but ignored that the ancients were not fools. Since the frontal battlefield was stalemate, he would naturally take advantage of his weaknesses.

After returning to the bedroom, Zhao Huan no longer had the intention to deal with other things. He just summoned people overnight and ordered Ferento to send people to investigate the situation among the people. He knew very well that the other party must have known it. However, the dogma that the ancients had tabooed for the respected people was deeply rooted in the hearts of Zhao Huan. There were many privacy and privacy that were difficult to talk to others. Therefore, even if Feren heard it, he would not dare to report it to avoid violations. Therefore, Zhao Huan had a special life and was able to repay Feiren in a real way and could not shrink back and hide it.

He couldn't sleep all night, and when the next morning, Zhe Yanshi tried to investigate overnight, talking about the emperor's disrespectful words, he had already involved dozens of eunuchs and palace servants in the palace, and even contacted the guards of the squad, and then investigated them. The thread ended up to the outside of the palace, and the silk was extremely complicated, and most of these people spread rumors, but there was no sign of deliberately doing it.

This situation was not contrary to what Zhao Huan expected, so the wind naturally started from outside the palace and then went straight into the palace.

At this time, he was very angry and stood in front of the door with his clothes on his clothes. After hearing Zhe Yanshi finished speaking, he did not ponder and immediately ordered: "You don't have to worry outside the palace. I have already told Feilun to do it. If it is found out in the palace, the guards will drive out of the palace, and the eunuchs will be responsible for it!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Huan said again: "The palace maid will leave it to the Queen Mother to deal with it, go!"

Zhe Yanshi responded loudly, but Zhao Huan said angrily again: "You are the Imperial City Office and I am looking forward to this family for me. Do you know? Don't follow me and I'll be so harsh and heavy.

Zhe Yanshi had nothing else to say and immediately obeyed the order.

When Zhao Huan got up and summoned the ministers, Xie Liang, Zhao Kai and others entered from the left corner gate, but they saw Zhe Yanshi taking charge of the eunuch. Dozens of people peeled their pants, and the boards were pounding the mountain, and as blood and flesh flew across the mountain, no one of the eunuchs dared to beg for mercy.

Xie Liang and others were surprised when they saw this. They knew that there must be something wrong in the palace. After seeing the ceremony, they heard Zhao Huan Youran say, "I think I should send an envoy to the five countries to visit the emperor in the near future."
