In fact, at the same time, Hanzhong City, which had just experienced a catastrophe, has recovered its former prosperity!

These days, the city has calmed down. The soldiers of the Jingyuan Army have withdrawn from the city, and even the soldiers of the Imperial Battalion have withdrawn half of them from the city! At the beginning, some brave people secretly took to the streets. After they found that there was nothing wrong, they told their families that their families had spread to other places. Therefore, today, there is no difference between Hanzhong City and before the wedding!

But you can often see two or three people gathered together to discuss!

They didn't know much about what happened on the wedding day, and they only knew some gossip!

"It is said that Zhe Keke asked to kill the monarch on the same day, but was killed by Your Majesty on the spot! I have a nephew who works in the imperial camp. My nephew said that Your Majesty practices martial arts every day, and his martial arts skills are the best in the world! Zhe Keke thought he could kill Your Majesty, but his Majesty beat Zhe Keke to break his ribs and vomit blood on the spot and dies!" said an old farmer selling peaches.

"Your Majesty is working as a carpenter every day. How could he practice martial arts every day? You are talking nonsense!" The person next to him obviously didn't believe it!

"Your Majesty is the emperor, how could he be a carpenter every day? Those were just blindly preached before!" said the old farmer.

"This is possible!" The person next to him was stunned and said.

The two of them were talking here, and a young man came over. The young man was in his twenties and looked quite beautiful, like a scholar! He came to the stall and bought a pound of peaches to leave. When he left, he still had a faint smile on his face.

"These people of the people are really ridiculous! Your Majesty was indeed a carpenter before, just to make a palsy! But Your Majesty doesn't allow you to talk about this matter, so we don't need to spread it!" The young man shook his head and murmured.

He went all the way forward in the direction of the palace!

The gate of the palace was silent. No people dared to trek in here. There were only dozens of imperial soldiers standing there!

When he saw the young man coming in, soldiers immediately stopped him!

The young man smiled and showed a gold medal, and then he was led into the palace!

"Master Wang Shu, Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the Qianqing Palace for a long time!" said the guard.

The young man nodded, and he handed the peaches he bought to the guard for safekeeping, and stepped up his pace toward the Qianqing Palace!

After about half a quarter of an hour, he came to the Qianqing Palace!

Here he saw Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Kang An, Lin Bao and others. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am the one who is a good minister, Wang Shu, see Your Majesty!"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Please get up quickly!"

Wang Shu stood up respectfully and followed everyone!

Zhao Chen seemed to be writing something, but Wang Shu was far away and could not see clearly! He was just curious!

After a while, Zhao Chen raised his head. He looked at Wang Shu first and smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, General Zhao Zhe went to Dasan Pass, while General Liu Qi went to Shu Road south of Hanzhong! Why don't you leave with them and stay in Hanzhong City instead?"

Wang Shu hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, although I have been in the army for many years, I do not know how to lead troops to fight. I am just a counselor under Qu Duan! If I follow Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi, the two generals, I will not be able to help much, so I choose to stay in Hanzhong City! If Your Majesty needs me, I will come immediately!"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "I understand what you think! I heard that Zhao Zhe, the reason why Liu Qi chose me was mainly because you convinced them, is there any such thing?"

Wang Shu nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Zhao Chen said: "So, you are the biggest contributor to be able to kill Zhe Keqiu this time! Without you, there would be no 50,000 Jingyuan Army, and without 50,000 Jingyuan Army, I would not be able to cause trouble!"

Wang Shu hurriedly said, "I dare not take it! I am just loyal to Your Majesty, so I convinced Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi and the others!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "No matter what purpose you convinced them, you have made great contributions! For me, you will be rewarded for any merits and punished for any mistakes! I was just discussing the issue of promotion of an official with Li Gang. Li Gang used to be the prime minister, but later he was persecuted by Zhe Keqiu and became the county magistrate of Chencang County. Of course he wants to restore his post! As for you, I decided to give you the position of deputy prime minister!"

ah!

Wang Shu was shocked, stayed there, and said, "It turned out to be the deputy prime minister?"

He couldn't believe it! Although he made great contributions this time, his qualifications were very shallow. In the past, he was just a counselor of Qu Duan! In terms of qualifications, he was not as good as Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi. He originally thought that he could become a minister of the Six Divisions. He was promoted slowly in the future. He did not expect that Zhao Chen would actually give him the deputy prime minister! This deputy prime minister is the second only to the prime minister and the Privy Councilor in the court! In addition to the prime minister and the Privy Councilor, he has the greatest power! He felt that his body was light and as if he was in a dream!

Seeing him staying there, Zhao Chen said, "What? Are you dissatisfied with it?"

Wang Shu came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, how could I be dissatisfied with me? I just felt that this position as a deputy prime minister was too high and I was afraid I would not be able to do it!"

Zhao Chen said: "I believe you can be competent for the position of deputy prime minister! You can study with Li Gang for a while. He has been an official for many years, so he naturally has some experience. He has promised me to tell you all this!"

Wang Shu nodded, he looked at Li Gang and said, "Thank you, Lord Li!"

Li Gang said: "You don't have to be polite! In the future, we will be your ministers and will work for your Majesty! As long as you are loyal to Your Majesty and work diligently, I can help you with any difficulties!"

A look of gratitude appeared in Wang Shu's eyes, and he nodded slightly and said no more!

Zhao Chen above said: "The court experienced a rebellion of Zeke. Most of the officials in the court, including Han Ping, Wei Ming and Xue Rui, were killed! The court lacks officials now, which is one of the reasons why I appointed you as deputy prime minister! I want to do a great cause that no one has ever done in the world. Wang Shu, I believe that the reason why you chose me is to repay me with expectations! I hope that our monarch and ministers work together to create a prosperous era that the Han people have never seen before. What do you think?"

Wang Shu felt a boiling heart and said immediately: "I should do my best to assist Your Majesty and revive the Song Dynasty together!"

Zhao Chen said: "Okay! Just now, Lord Li Gang and I have discussed the rewards to generals such as Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi, Yue Fei, Kang An. Come and listen to it and see if there is anything wrong!"

Wang Shu hurriedly said, "Yes!"

Zhao Chen said: "I have decided to appoint Zhao Zhe as the commander of the Jingyuan Army, Liu Qi as the commander of the Huanqing Army, Yue Fei as the commander of the imperial army, Wu Jie as the commander of the Yangtze River Navy, and Kang'an as the commander of the imperial camp! If there are no other problems, I will issue an imperial edict!"

The official position of "control" was not a regular official position in the Northern Song Dynasty. Generally, it was only in wartime. The emperor selected one person to command the generals, calling it a general! But now Zhao Chen obviously used the general as a regular official position. The most important generals under him have now become "control"! Among them, Yue Fei has been the commander of the imperial guards for more than ten days, and now Zhao Chen has officially issued the imperial edict! Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi, Wu Jie, Kang An and others are also officially appointed!

With this "control", the former Strategic Inspectors, Commander and other official positions must naturally be under the control and accept the command of the control!

As for the Jingyuan Army, Huanqing Army, etc., these are common divisions of the Northwest Army of the Northern Song Dynasty! The Jingyuan Army guarded Jingyuan Road, and the Huanqing Army guarded Huanqing Road. Of course, Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi are all in Hanzhong now. Although Zhao Chen assigned these two places to them, they were unable to get through for the time being!

Wang Shu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Qu Duan was originally the governor of Jingyuan Road, but now Zhao Zhe is the commander of Jingyuan Road. What should I do if Lord Qu Duan?"

Zhao Chen sneered: "I have decided to appoint Qu Duan as Privy Councilor to command the national military!"

He wanted to call Qu Duan to Hanzhong! After Qu Duan came to Hanzhong, he had no soldiers or generals under his command. Even if he held the position of Privy Councilor, he would not pose any threat to Zhao Chen!

This is a strategy of rising from the open and falling from the secret!

Hearing this, Wang Shu was stunned, sighed softly, and said, "The Privy Councilor is not bad, too!"

Zhao Chen said: "Wang Shu, do you think Qu Duan will come to Hanzhong to accept the position of Privy Councilor?"

Wang Shu thought for a moment and said, "It should be! I have followed Lord Qu for many years and am most familiar with Lord Qu! Although Lord Qu is versatile in civil and military affairs, he has no ambitions and he has always been following the crowd! To put it bluntly, he is indecisive in character! This time, he must be extremely anxious when he has happened in Jingyuan this time, but he dare not take any action! His Majesty issued an imperial edict to appoint him as Privy Councilor, and on the other hand, he cut off the supply of military rations from the Jingyuan Army. I think he will take the initiative to come to Hanzhong to accept the position of Privy Councilor!"

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Qu Duan has a talent! He is the first person in the Western Army under Zhong Shidao, and his military achievements are outstanding! If he came to Hanzhong, I would not have let him take only a false position. If the country really has war, I might really use him!"

Wang Shu nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Since you have no other opinions, I will issue an imperial edict now! From now on, our army in the Song Dynasty will be divided into Jingyuan Army, Huanqing Army, Imperial Army, Yangtze River Naval Army, and Imperial Camp. May the generals work together to eliminate the Jurchens and King Kang!"

In the past, there was only Zhe Kexue who could only lead the Zhe family army in Hanzhong. Zhe Kexue led one person to more than 100,000 Zhe family troops. Now it is divided into five parts. Zhao Chen no longer has to worry about Zhe Kexue's chaos! He was relieved!

*******

At night, after dinner, Zhao Chen came to Kunning Palace again!

There was peace here. Apart from Zhe Yueru and her maid, there were no servants in the palace who served him!

The sound of the tinging piano came from the palace, and Zhao Chen felt a sense of peace in his heart!

After a while, Zhe Yueru and the maid finally noticed Zhao Chen's arrival, and the two hurried over to meet.

"All up!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

Zhe Yueru and the maid stood up. Zhao Chen looked at Zhe Yueru carefully. He found that it was only ten days since he saw him. Zhe Yueru seemed to have become thinner! The sadness in her eyes did not diminish slightly! The only thing that remains unchanged is her beautiful face!

"Are you still sad?" Zhao Chen said.

"If Your Majesty had experienced the death of his father and brother, wouldn't he be sad?" Zhe Yueru said stubbornly.

Zhao Chen nodded gently. The maid over there had already brought the chair over. Zhao Chen sat down, and then he signaled Zhe Yueru to sit down.

It was extremely clear tonight, with the moonlight falling from the sky, and the Kunning Palace was bright.

"I came here in April and May last year, and it has been almost a year now! When did you come to Hanzhong, right?" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Zhe Yueru nodded slightly.

Thinking of the joy and curiosity I had when I first came to Hanzhong, and thinking about the current scene, Zhe Yueru's eyes turned red again.

"Don't cry! I can understand your feelings! Since I came to Hanzhong, I have always been lonely in my heart, especially after Yue Fei, Li Gang and others were driven away by your father, I am even more lonely in my heart! In addition to loneliness, I am also afraid. I don't know what my destiny will look like in the future, I don't know if I will always be puppets, and I don't know if I can see Yue Fei, Li Gang and others again! My mood at that time may have some similarities to your current mood!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, my father is loyal to you. How could he betray you? He must have been framed by a treacherous minister!" Zhe Yueru gritted her teeth and said after a moment.

"Does the treacherous minister frame it? Maybe only you think so!" Zhao Chen's face showed a sarcastic smile.

"Your Majesty, my father is indeed loyal, there is no need to question!" Zhe Yueru said.

She is pure by nature. Since she was in the Zhe Mansion, her father did not talk to her about political affairs! In her mind, her father has always been a great hero. Perhaps the father in the heart of any girl has such an image, and it is difficult for her to accept the claim that her father is a traitor!

"Okay, I won't talk about your father anymore, you will naturally know what kind of person he is in the future! I will often come to accompany you, talk to you, listen to you playing the piano, and you will gradually forget the pain over time! If you want to go out, I can accompany you out for a walk! What kind of song you just played just now, why not play it for me again?" Zhao Chen shook his head and said.
