Lin'an Prefecture, Liangzhe West Road.

This weather-beaten old capital of the Southern Song Dynasty only appeared in just a few days.

Countless new faces appeared in the city.

There are people from the world, wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people.

Military parade is still a very new word for people of this era.

The emperor wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the revival of Lin'an Prefecture to carry out a military parade, so they naturally wanted to see what the grand military parade was.

As time goes by, more people continue to flock to Lin'an Mansion.

This even forced the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture to order the soldiers to investigate the people entering the city, and had already prevented those who had ulterior motives from entering the city.

At the same time, soldiers had to be sent to the city gate to guide the people and tried their best to advise them to go to the surrounding cities.

Ten days passed.

Zhao Dongting and Kong Qiangu rushed to the road and finally arrived in Changsha.

Compared with the grand occasion of Lin'an Prefecture, Changsha seemed quite calm at this time.

The Empress has been leaving the city with all civil and military officials for ten days, and the craze among the people who were originally discussing the military parade was gradually over.

Although they all wanted to go to Lin'an Prefecture to see the grand scenery, not everyone could travel far in this era.

Zhao Dongting and Kong Qiangu did not cause any trouble after returning to Changsha City.

Only Deputy State Order Chen Wenlong and Minister of Finance Chen Jianghan and other few old ministers stayed in Changsha City.

After Zhao Dongting learned that Le Chan had led everyone to Lin'an Mansion first, he brought Chen Wenlongxuan into the imperial study room.

Until now, the fact that Li Xiushu gave birth to Li Zuoxiao for him is still a top secret in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhao Dongting will not make this happen for a long time in the future. Because this will have a great impact on the situation in the Western Xia and Song dynasties, and Li Xiushu will also be affected by many troubles.

But Li Zuoxiao would always be released with Wu Amiao and Juntian. If Zhao Dongting did not make any arrangements, he would always be worried.

After all, Li Zuoxiao is his biological child.

Originally, his idea was to let Le Chan and his daughters leave two in Changsha City to take care of three children. But now, the girls have all gone to Lin'an Mansion.

He could only find Chen Wenlong, who is loyal and dedicated to his career, and is now in charge of the overall situation in Changsha.

Although Chen Wenlong's status in the court is not as good as those of Lu Xiufu, his loyalty is absolutely unquestionable. What is even more commendable is that this old minister knows to keep his mouth shut.

When Chen Wenlong arrived at the imperial study room, Zhao Dongting only smiled and said to Eunuch Liu: "Give him a seat to Lord Chen."

Chen Wenlong, who had just knelt down, hurriedly thanked.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, since the Empress and the others left Changsha, will this Changsha city be stable?"

Chen Wenlong bowed and replied, "Report to the emperor, there is no abnormality in Changsha City."

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since our Song Dynasty's various troops all came to Lin'an Prefecture, such as Dali, Xinsong, and overseas countries and the Yuan Dynasty, what's going on?"

Chen Wenlong pondered: "No secret letter has ever been sent to Changsha."

As he said that, he remembered something and said again: "Your Ma Emperor, I have been asking the king of the country, Ma Yi, to come to Changsha City nearly a month ago."

"oh?"

Zhao Dongting was moved slightly, and then chuckled, "Ma Yi, the Lord, would you respect me as the Emperor of Heaven?"

Chen Wenlong said: "That's right."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "What are the actions of Japan, Goryeo and the Yue Li Dynasty?"

Chen Wenlong shook his head and said, "They have never sent envoys to come. Even in recent months, Japan has issued many orders against our merchant ships in the Song Dynasty."

"Talk about it in detail." Zhao Dongting said.

Chen Wenlong's face showed some doubts and anger, and said, "I don't know if I heard that Liu asked the king to be the emperor of the country to be the emperor of heaven, but the Japanese seemed to be quite dissatisfied with this. Originally, when trade with our country, our country always dominated, and it was them who were trying to buy us into business. Just a few days ago, Japan's territory was in the country of Japan to raise tariffs on goods in our Song Dynasty, and even boycotted the Song Dynasty. The old ministers thought that there should be the shadow of the Japanese shogunate behind this matter."

As he said that, he didn't know if he was extremely angry and said, "The old minister even heard a businessman who came back from Japan that there is such a saying in Japan now that there is an emperor in Japan. The emperor is the orthodox world, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is a joke."

"hehe."

Zhao Dongting chuckled when he heard this and muttered softly, "I'm still so arrogant."

Then he curled his lips gently and said, "Let it go first. Just Japan, our Song Dynasty doesn't have to take them too seriously."

But his mind was actually full of murderous intent.

Resist the Song Dynasty and squeeze tariffs.

This shogunate is really brave. It is no different from stoking ground on Tai Sui's head.

It seems that Bushido has made them develop the habit of being arrogant.

This may not be a bad thing in Zhao Dongting's opinion.

He was born with no favoritism for Japan, and if the Japanese shogunate respected him as the Emperor of Heaven, he would be disappointed.

The happier the little grasshopper jumps, the easier it is to step on it.

However, the Yue Li Dynasty did not send envoys to bow to the Song Dynasty, which surprised Zhao Dongting.

I don’t know whether the king of the Yue Li Dynasty was lucky enough to be with him or that the Yue Li Dynasty had the capital to compete with the Song Dynasty.

In his heart, Zhao Dongting never exposed the incident of the 100,000 troops of the Li Dynasty in Yue attacking Guangnan West Road.

He still can't control countries that are too far away. However, Zhao Dongting doesn't want them to be rampant in these neighboring countries.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly when you lie beside the bed?

After pondering for a little, Zhao Dongting said again: "Now, many imperial guards, including the newly established imperial guards, have sent soldiers to Lin'an Mansion?"

"yes."

Chen Wenlong said: "Flying pigeons have sent a message back from military regions in various places, and some soldiers set out to Lin'an Prefecture."

Zhao Dongting nodded again, then fell silent again.

The military parade in Lin'an Prefecture was an idea that he had a long time ago.

This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the power of the Song Dynasty's military, and it is also an opportunity for the Song Dynasty to officially announce its hegemony to the surrounding countries.

As long as countries have to see the strength of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards in the military parade, I think no country will dare to covet the Song Dynasty for a long time.

He could also focus on developing the economy, agriculture and other things of the Song Dynasty.

This is his layout.

The Song Dynasty now does need to rest and recuperate. After all, no matter how powerful the country is, it cannot withstand years of conquest.

Chen Wenlong looked at Zhao Dongting for a long time and said softly: "If the emperor has nothing to do, then the old minister will take his leave first?"

He who stayed in Changsha City obviously had many things to work for.

Zhao Dongting came back to his senses and said, "There is something I need to tell you about, Lord Chen."

Chen Wenlong said repeatedly: "Please tell me."

Zhao Dongting said something amazing, "The Empress of Xixia Li Xiushu is pregnant with my child. I suddenly went to Xixia this time for this. Now I and the Sword God have to rush back to Changsha City first due to the Lin'an Mansion. The father-in-law and General Wu are still on the way back to Changsha. The child is still young, and when he comes back, I need to ask you to arrange him in my bedroom. And this matter must be spread at all."

Chen Wenlong was stunned and said, "Female... the empress gave birth to a baby for the priest?"

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly.

Chen Wenlong looked surprised and said after a while: "The empress is willing to let you take him back to Changsha?"

Zhao Dongting said: "This is the second thing I want to tell you."

As he said that, he told Chen Wenlong in detail the overall situation he and Li Xiushu set up.

This made Chen Wenlong even more dumbfounded. After a long time, he stuttered: "If this is the case, wouldn't our Song Dynasty turn against Xixia?"

He looked at Zhao Dongting with some concern, "Emperor... Is this matter slower? After all, our Song Dynasty has just stopped fighting..."

Zhao Dongting just waved his hand, "No need. I told you about this, just want Lord Chen, you secretly let the food and grass be concentrated in the days when I was not in Changsha. Since the empress set up such a big situation with me, it is impossible for the Xixia army to attack Song before I returned from Lin'an Prefecture. When the Xixia army attacks Song, I will handle the rest of the matter personally. You just need to prepare for the army to go to war."
