After two days of staying in Jiankang, Zhao Bing and Liu Chenweng had a talk for half a day, hinting to him that the court would reorganize and gradually introduce the new policy. Liu Chenweng immediately expressed his attitude and firmly supported His Majesty's reorganization of the imperial court. The Jiankang Mansion followed the imperial edict and implemented the new policy. The emperor "had no time" summoned officials and famous scholars of Jiankang Mansion, and Wang Yinglin and Xie Fangde could only do it for him.

The next day, accompanied by Liu Chenweng, the two of them landed in the city, met with everyone on behalf of the emperor, conveyed His Majesty's concern to everyone, and informed of the great victory of the Northern Expedition. Then the two sides held friendly talks. Wang Yinglin sincerely listened to the suggestions of representatives from all walks of life in Jiankang, and pointed out that the Song Dynasty is in an era of change, the situation is changing, people's hearts are changing, and policies are also adjusting. Jiankang's scholars and gentry should follow the emperor's footsteps, obey His Majesty's edicts, consider issues based on national justice, and contribute to the construction of a prosperous and powerful new Song Dynasty, and not become a stumbling block to the times.

Xie Fangde explained the differences in the implementation of the "tax of officials and gentry as one" by Jiankang gentry. He said that this was a benefit to the country and the people, and solved the problem that some evil gentry used the state to take care of the scholars in the past, and scattered the population, causing many farmers to lose their survival roots and become refugees, causing social unrest and tax loss, which led to the country's poverty and weakness and bullying of foreign races.

Xie Fangde also pointed out that this policy may cause some losses to some law-abiding gentry, but everyone should keep in mind the teachings of the saints and examine this change from the perspective of the country and the nation. Don’t be blinded by rumors, obstruct temporary benefits, lose morality for small profits, and go to the opposite of the country, and end up being disgraced, losing both people and wealth, becoming the sinner of the nation.

Next, Wang Yinglin again emphasized that the court would unswervingly implement this policy and would definitely crack down on those who dare to challenge the authority of the court and would never be lenient. At the same time, he also promptly reported on the incidents of a bad gentry in Huguang trying to attack the imperial boat and murder important officials of the court. The current evil and his threats have been captured, not only harming their own lives, but also implicating their family and children in the clan. Everyone must take it as a warning and not test the law with their own body.

Finally, the representatives of the gentry of Jiankang reviewed the history of the fall of Jiangnan, when countless people were massacred and captured to Jiangbei, and the scholars were cruelly persecuted. Now the court has returned, with clear politics and peaceful people, and the people have been recruited for ranks. His Majesty also led the royal army to personally expedition the Meng Yuanyuan to Huaibei, and recovered a large area of ​​old land. All of them are doing great things. They will be loyal to the emperor, work hard for the court, and support the new policy...

After the dressing and supply were completed, the fleet set off again and moved south in Runzhou into the canal. Three days later, arrived in Pingjiang. Liu Fu, the deputy governor and Xu Zongren, the Minister of Rites, led officials to welcome the throne to triumph and present a congratulatory letter. After leaving for a while, Zhao Bing greeted the ministers and asked about the situation in the capital. Liu Fu answered one by one, and then welcomed the throne to the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, Zhao Bing took a bath and changed his clothes under the service of the palace maids, and then went to the back hall to meet everyone. "Your Majesty is still in great victory in the northern expedition, why are you not happy?" Seeing that the little emperor looked unwilling and seemed not very happy, Liu Fu stepped forward to salute and greeted him.

"When I saw you and entered the palace city again, I knew I was going to the capital. I thought about how I could be happy to be detained in the palace city every day!" Zhao Bing looked at Liu Fu and said unhappy.

"This... it turns out that Your Majesty was unhappy when he saw me. So I will avoid it?" Liu Fu had a good relationship with the young emperor and the ministers. He knew that he had become a child again, so he pretended to be a bow and retreat.

"Xiang Liu, Your Majesty is timid in the hometown, don't care!" Seeing that Your Majesty did not speak and did not let him retreat, Wang Yinglin hurriedly smoothed out the situation.

"Oh, then I will stay in the hall for a while to relieve your worries!" Liu Fu smiled and said without caring.

"Oh, let's sit!" Zhao Bing sighed. He was out for more than a year and marched and fought every day, and it was common for him to sleep in the open air, but he felt that the world was open and free. Once he returned to the capital, he had to be surrounded in the palace, and it was difficult to go out for a walk. Even if he left the capital, he would worship the imperial tombs and worship the world and the country, just like a trapped beast. He even envied the Mongol Emperor who could wander among several capitals, but he did not stay together all year round.

"Your Majesty, you have been in the imperial examination for more than a year. The officials and the people in the capital are very concerned about it. They are happy to hear that Your Majesty returns in triumph!" Xu Zongren said with politeness.

"This sounds good, but I feel awkward. I'm afraid that many people hope that I will die in the Northern Expedition and will never come back for my whole life!" Zhao Bing snorted.

"Your Majesty is like this, I'm afraid!" Liu Fu quickly politely, but there was no fear on his face. "The current capital city hopes that Your Majesty will return to the court. If the sun rises, the people are even more eager to see you. They will clean the streets early, build a slum to welcome Your Majesty to return to the court."

"Okay, my teeth are sore that I say it. I don't know who reported every day that the capital is in turmoil. I urged me three times a day to quickly return to Beijing to stabilize the court!" This "praising" made Zhao Bing get goose bumps all over his body, especially when he said it from several old men, he quickly interrupted.

"Since your Majesty had known it, why did you stay outside? Wouldn't you know the overall situation and ruin the country and the people!" Liu Fu put away the joke this time and said seriously.

"I am shallow in my knowledge and can't argue with you. Just say something!" Zhao Bing didn't expect that Liu Fu was waiting for him here and said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, this is the welcome ceremony that the Ministry of Rites has set. Please take a look at it. If there is any inappropriateness, I should prepare early!" Seeing that Your Majesty's tone was changing, Xu Zongren took the opportunity to present the letter to the top.

"I just returned to Beijing. Do I need such complicated things?" Zhao Bing took Wang De and submitted a thick stack of comments. Although he didn't take a look, he said bitterly.

"Your Majesty personally led the army to fight and win battles, recovered dozens of prefectures and counties in Huaidong, Huaixi and Jingxiang, and expanded the land thousands of miles. It should be more solemn to boost the morale of the court and the country, demonstrate Your Majesty's martial ethics, and make everyone return to their hearts!" Xu Zongren said with courtesy.

"Your Majesty must make an investigation early, I will prepare early!" Liu Fu knew the young emperor's temper very well. Seeing that he looked embarrassed, he made a statement to block his excuse first.

"Okay, I'll see it now!" Zhao Bing looked at Liu Fu and said helplessly.

Wang De invited Xiaohuangmen to serve tea to several big bosses, and an interesting scene appeared in the hall. The little emperor held a thick memorial and frowned and looked through pages. Several ministers whispered and laughed under the seat.

Zhao Bing was really helpless. He knew that in ancient times, there were countless examples of emperors personally expeditioning. Some were founding emperors personally expeditioning the country, and they were the horse emperors themselves. Furthermore, although they were not founding emperors, they also followed the examples of the former emperors personally expeditioning, or to boost the morale of the army, or to be very happy to establish the power of the emperor. The third reason for the emperor personally expedition was the psychological problem of "the whole world is the king's land" and the need to expand territory; the fourth reason for the emperor personally expedition was to take revenge for some reason, and not to go into battle personally would not relieve his hatred.

It is said that the emperor personally led the army to fight with the weight of ten thousand chariots, and the command of a million troops was controlled by a million. Naturally, people were enthusiastic and fought for the death of their lives. They should have the combat power of defeating the attack and winning the battle. But the result was not always satisfactory. As an emperor, he was able to fight with the emperor personally, he could indeed inspire morale. However, some emperors personally commanded the army, while others were captured and killed; or the emperor personally conquered the country and led to hatred of the destruction of the country. Of course, there were also many emperors who achieved the goal of the emperor personally conquering, expanded the territory, completely unified the great cause or hegemony of half of the country.

Take the first three emperors, Song Taizu, Song Taizong, and Song Zhenzong, who were the founding of the Song Dynasty, all of them personally led the expedition. Taizu personally laid half of the Song Dynasty and laid the foundation for establishing the country. Taizong Zhao Guangyi, seized the country from his brother's "axe shadow and candlelight". In order to divert domestic conflicts and doubts from the government and the government, of course, Yixue lost the humiliation of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the imperial expedition personally launched the Northern Expedition.

It is not bad to say that Taizong personally launched a Khitan, but he was not a talented emperor. In the battle of Gaolianghe, he was quickly defeated by the counterattack of the Liao Kingdom. This defeat completely defeated the unification of the Song Dynasty. Not only was the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun not recovered, but he was also under the military threat of the Liao Kingdom and became a dynasty that had not been unified for three hundred years.

After Emperor Taizong passed away, Zhenzong succeeded to the throne, and the Liao Kingdom began to take the initiative to invade Song. Even Taizong, who was a military general, could not defeat the Liao Kingdom, let alone the literary emperor Zhenzong. Faced with the invasion of the Liao Kingdom, he was almost scared to death. Prime Minister Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosou were typical corrupts and actually persuaded Zhenzong to escape. At the critical moment, Kou Zhun strongly advocated that Emperor Zhenzong of Song personally lead the army to inspire the morale of the Song army. Only in this way could a literati emperor go to the battlefield and become an alternative "star" among the emperors who were in charge of the emperor.

The emperor personally led the army, which inspired the morale of the army. The Song army fought bravely, and the Liao army's chief general Xiao Dalan was shot to death. But unexpectedly, Zhenzong, who was frightened by the Liao army, actually negotiated peace with the Liao Kingdom under the victory and signed the "Chanyuan Alliance" that was humiliated. He respected Empress Xiao of Liao Kingdom as his uncle and provided Liao with "funds to assist military travel" every year to Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 pieces of silk, which opened the precedent for the Song Dynasty to exchange money for peace, and was imitated by future generations.

It is precisely because the three ancestors personally won and lost one victory or two losses that the emperors of the Song Dynasty had no matter how to personally fight, and other dynasties were similar. So in fact, as long as the emperor went on a war, whether he fought or not ran away the enemy, as long as the emperor himself came back safely, it would be called triumphant. Ceremony, music, offering prisoners, rewards on merit, and ministers expressed their congratulations, etc., they must be standard for the imperial guards personally. Moreover, the imperial guards returned to the victory of the imperial guards in person, which naturally had to be more grand.
