It was not waiting for me, and Zhao Bing entered the working state on the third day after returning to Beijing. After the morning training and washing up, he went to Kunning Palace to pay his respects. The Empress Dowager kept the meal as usual and had breakfast together.

"Now the Beijing is in a big trouble. The court officials wrote a letter to welcome Emperor Deyou, Empress Dowager Quan, and King Fu and other relatives. The Ai family also heard that the truth of the dragon in the West Lake was revealed, saying that he was the incarnation of Emperor Deyou. Only when he returned to the capital and restored the throne could he protect the peace of the Song Dynasty forever. What do the officials think?" Empress Dowager Yang picked up a chopstick and asked Zhao Bing and asked,

"I have also heard about the matter. The proposal to welcome Emperor Deyou has been approved. As for the fact that all the relatives have been demoted to common people, they can discuss it again when discussing peace and exchange prisoners of war. Otherwise, they will be self-reliant." Zhao Bing put down his chopsticks and replied, "There is a ghost in the West Lake. I have also asked that some gentry were paying money and working behind the scenes, and some evil monks hired to bewitch people's hearts. Their intention is nothing more than using this threat to make me in a dilemma about Emperor Deyou."

"Well, but the affairs of gods and monsters should not be ignored. The ancients had a lecture: If there are strange phenomena in heaven, there will be disasters. The officials must deal with them properly." Empress Dowager Yang nodded and said, "The Ai family also knows that the matter of returning to the clan is in a difficult situation, but after all, they are all from the blood of Taizu and Taizong. If they fail to welcome them, it will inevitably cause the officials to be slandered and damage the reputation of the officials."

"My mother, the saying that there are strange phenomena in the sky is nonsense, and the appearance of dragon shadows in the lake is just a natural phenomenon, which may be related to the fish and shrimps in the lake, the stars in the sky, and even the trees by the lake. I have sent someone to investigate, and I should have a conclusion recently. The truth will be revealed and the rumors will be broken." Zhao Bing said.

"As for..." Zhao Bing was a little embarrassed. He abolished his brother's title, but Empress Dowager Yang still called him the emperor's title. If he insisted on calling him the deposed emperor, he would be afraid that Empress Dowager Yang would think too much and would be speechless for a while.

"The official family can say everything clearly. What else can we mother and mother say!" Queen Mother Yang said with a gentle voice.

"From the mother, according to the feedback from his subordinates, the elder brother was placed in Shangdu after marrying Princess Mengyuan. A few days ago, the Yuan court issued an edict to force him to become a monk and go to Ganzhou to study Buddhism, learn Sanskrit and Xifan Classic. He also ordered Quan to become a monk at Zhengzhi Temple in Dadu." Zhao Bing said, "So I thought that Mengyuan had no intention of releasing the emperor and Quan family. Even if he forced him to release him, my dynasty would probably make great concessions!"

"Quan...How is Quan's current situation?" Empress Dowager Yang was stunned for a moment and asked anxiously.

"Since moving north to Yuan Dynasty, he has been placed in Dadu. Later, the mother and son were forcibly separated, and became depressed and sick. He has been ill, but his life is not worry-free for the time being!" Zhao Bing replied.

"Pity!" Empress Dowager Yang sighed after hearing this, and said silent for a moment, "If Meng Yuan agrees to let them go south, what will the government do to deal with this matter!"

"Well..." From the words of Empress Dowager Yang, Zhao Bing heard some hidden meanings. If Emperor Deyou and Empress Dowager Quan come back, the situation of two emperors and two empress dowagers will be formed. Her throne is threatened, and Empress Dowager Yang's status will also be shaken. After all, Empress Dowager Quan is the first emperor and the real wife, and she is just a little wife. The two have a huge difference in status, and her rank is supported by the ministers, and she has not been enthroned, and there is no seal and gold book yet. She asked the Quan family first, but did not care about Emperor Deyou. It was obvious that she was worried that she would lose the rank and that she could not handle herself.

"I thought that state affairs should be the priority. The mother thought that her son was not worthy of the throne, so she would give way to the emperor's brother. I could live abroad and stay away from the court, and would never do anything that brothers would fight against each other. If the mother thought that her son was useful, she would properly place the emperor's brother and Quan family. It would definitely not be possible to restore the title, but her brother's family would also have food and clothing. If the Quan family had lived through her old age, she would not do anything that would have been damaged by flesh and blood."

"You child is thoughtful, but you still have to put state affairs first. After all, restoring the country is not easy, and it is all exchanged for the lives of the subjects of the Song Dynasty. We cannot ruin state affairs because of our own selfishness. However, Emperor Deyou and Quan failed to open the city to surrender and did something despised. If they could return south, they would have lost all the hearts of the people and lost their morals, and it would be difficult to reconsider the task of restoring the country. The Ai family would also support the officials, recover their hometowns, and return them to the old capital." Empress Dowager Yang looked at the little emperor with a doting favor.

"Mother, what is the virtue of my son? Now we have recovered the two Huai Rivers and expanded the territory for thousands of miles. Although it is a happy event, the affairs are getting more and more heavy, and I can't handle it and it's hard to deal with it. Now that the government and the opposition have a high voice for the restoration of their brothers, it's okay for me to give in. I can do something I like, travel to various countries and see the exotic style." Empress Dowager Yang's words have already shown his attitude, but Zhao Bing knew that he should still be pretentious, otherwise it would be a sign of unmodestness and would cause verbal trouble.

"The official family is so serious!" said the Queen Mother Yang, "This time, the official family led the army to fight for thousands of miles, defeated the Mongolian Yuan, and saved countless people. Their contributions were no less than those of Emperor Gaozong. It was already the world's will. How could they retreat? Moreover, the Ai family also listened to the court officials' discussions and wanted to restore the three sacred sentences. Although some officials were needed, even if they were asked to do those trivial matters, the official family could also save them lightly, and the Ai family also thought it was good!"

"I have also received a memorial. I am not sure whether to restore the three provinces. I just asked the Prime Minister to discuss first, list a statement, whether to restore it, and ask the Queen of Mother to decide." Zhao Bing knew that he was on the way back to the court, and it was already effective. Of course, he could not admit that it was what he wanted to do, but it was the opinion of the ministers. He thought about it and said, "In addition, there is something I want to discuss with Queen of Mother."

"Please tell me the official!" Empress Dowager Yang said with great interest.

"Mother, now we have driven the Mongol Yuan thousands of miles away, Lin'an can temporarily keep you safe. The emperor's coffin is still on an isolated island. Although there are people paying tribute to me in all seasons, I cannot personally sacrifice myself. I want to move my elder brother back to the Zao Palace for temporary residence, and wait for the Central Plains to be recovered and buried with the former emperors. Another thing is that I want to make a gold book, a gold seal, a grand ceremony for my mother, and a memorial."

"The official family is so good, why did you talk about these things again?" Empress Dowager Yang's heart beat wildly when she heard this, but she still said unhappy, "The official family also mentioned earlier that the Ai family had said that the first time returning to Jiangnan was difficult, and everything was delayed?"

"Alas, my mother is very righteous, and my son is very pleased. But today is not the previous time. One is that the foreign barbarians are defeated and the transit can be safe; the other is that the national treasury is slightly rich, and there is still plenty of strength; the third is... Third, the son is worried that once he loses the will of heaven and the people, he will not be able to do it, so he should be relieved as soon as possible!" Zhao Bing sighed lightly.

"The Ai family still said the same thing. As long as I am there, no one can shake the position of the official family!" Empress Dowager Yang said sternly.

He knew in his heart that Emperor Deyou was the official edict to succeed the throne, and he and Emperor Jingyan were supported by ministers. Although he was eager to follow the power, he eventually robbed the other party's position. If the Quan family and his son returned south, he and Emperor Jingyan and the person in front of him would be embarrassed. But the official family was raised by himself, and the mother and son had a deep relationship, while Emperor Deyou had no feelings for him. If he wanted to take the throne, he would definitely make Quan the Empress Dowager, cut off their title, and even kill his mother and son to eliminate future troubles.

Now that the official suddenly mentioned this matter, it was like arranging the funeral. It was also possible to imagine that he was under great pressure on the matter of welcoming Emperor Deyou to the court. But at this time, he was still worried about the matter of himself and the emperor's brother's coffin, and wanted to see how much intentional the child was. Of course, Empress Dowager Yang also knew that it might be mixed with selfishness and even threatening, but he was not like this. After the fall of Lin'an, he fled out of the palace, suffered a lot of hardships, and suffered a lot of anger, and he died an emperor, and he was the only one who knew the difficulties.

The situation is getting better now, and the officials are willing to take the risk of taking the initiative to lead the army and conquer this great river and country, and have the peace of the present. Of course, Empress Dowager Yang is unwilling to let someone come to "pick peaches" and give up the good days he has obtained through a lot of hardships. The emperor is definitely not willing. He is now holding heavy troops and is supported by a group of close ministers in the court, so why should he be bound to it? If he supports this matter, if he doesn't do it well, it's time for the mother and son to turn against each other, why should he do these things that are not pleasing to you inside and outside!

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Zhao Bing said politely again. Although he didn't know that the Queen Mother's heart was full of twists and turns, judging from her appearance, in her heart, those who asked to welcome Emperor Deyou were probably enemies. And he also had a clear mind, after all, their fundamental interests were the same.

Zhao Bing knew that with his own strength, the Queen Mother's decision could no longer affect his decision. But in this era, the Queen Mother not only had the symbolic significance of being a virtuous mother and a filial son, but also was the Earth Sea God needle that could turn the world around at a critical moment. Therefore, Zhao Bing still hopes to win the support of the Queen Mother in major affairs, and breaking up with him is the ultimate solution.

"Dou Xing, the Ai family talked to the butler. The food was cold. You can exchange it for some hot ones!" Empress Dowager Yang ordered the food on the table and said to Dou Xing, who was attending her side.

"Yes!" Dou Xing said with politeness, waved his hand to ask the little yellow gate and palace maids in the hall to remove the meal and urge him personally.

"It is a good thing for the officials to restore the three provinces, and they must be cautious. Those scholars look respectful, but they are also a little stubborn. Once they gain power, they will interfere in everything. Therefore, the officials must be more scrupulous, and the money and soldiers must be held in their own hands, so that they will be afraid." Seeing that there was no one around, Empress Dowager Yang asked the little emperor to approach and whispered.

"Well, my son understands. At that time, I will ask my mother to give me more advice to avoid any trouble!" Zhao Bing saw that he was cautious and alert, and obviously knew that there were foreign ministers around him, so he naturally responded happily.
