The shocking words of his father Shi Potian shocked Zhao Gou, and Li Yanqing was stunned by his troops!

As the emperor, how could Zhao Gou not consider this kind of thing? When he let Li Yanqing take charge of the northwest, Zhao Gou repeatedly considered this possibility. In fact, anyone who wants to go there will be a risk of having troops to become independent, but only Li Yanqing can save the crisis in the northwest.

Later, Li Yanqing's wife and children were sent to Jingzhao. Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan both advised him that it would be better to take Li Yanqing's wife and children in Lin'an as hostages. But Li Yanqing really had the ambition to have troops and be independent. Will he care about his wife and children?

Zhao Gou simply sent Li Yanqing's wife and children to Jingzhao with generous support. Since he had shown his trust in him, he would do his best to the end. Li Yanqing really supported the army and became independent in the face of the world's great conspiracy, and he would be scolded by the people of the world.

This matter is too sensitive, and Zhao Gou has always refused to allow all officials to mention it. Unexpectedly, his father's first attack was to target Li Yanqing's independent army.

After a long silence, Zhao Gou said slowly: "Xixia captured Xihe Road, and Qinfeng Road has been lost. The Jin soldiers were eyeing Shaanxi Road. The entire three northwest routes were in danger. Li Yanqing turned the tide, defeated Xixia, and forced Xixia to withdraw troops from Xihe Road. Faced with the western attack of the Jin soldiers, he used the weather and terrain to trap 50,000 Jin soldiers who invaded Shaanxi Road to death, and defeated the Jin soldiers under the city of Taiyuan, and wiped out 80,000 Jin soldiers, which not only saved the northwest, but also saved the Song Dynasty. If he was willing to be independent, the court could not control him at all, but he handed over the military power of Hedong Road, and the court appointed Zhang Shuye and Zhang Jun to take charge of Taiyuan Prefecture and Hedong Road. The father and son minister speculated from this that Li Yanqing had no intention of having troops to be independent."

Zhao Ji sneered, "You actually put your hope on him. You have forgotten the ancestral teachings and the lessons of the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty and the separatist rule of the feudal states."

"My son hasn't forgotten!"

Zhao Gou couldn't help but interrupt his father's lesson, "My son never forgot the system set by his ancestors, but was forced by the situation and had to do it. If he didn't do this, the three northwest routes had long been occupied by foreign races. How could he have any chance to consider the ministers' support for their own troops?"

Zhao Ji was silent. After a long time, he asked coldly: "What are you going to do?"

"When the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty are recovered, the ministers will transfer Li Yanqing back, grant him a high title, and allow his descendants to enjoy wealth and glory, which can also be regarded as rewarding his contribution to the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ji snorted and said disapprovingly: "How can you be so happy to enjoy wealth and honor in the south?"

Zhao Gou suddenly became alert. Is this sentence from his father talking about himself?

Zhao Ji did not realize that he had accidentally revealed his inner secret. He continued: "We cannot wait until the mountains and rivers are recovered. We must replace people in time. Taking advantage of the peace talks between Song and Jin, we simply transferred Li Yanqing to the Central Plains and let civil servants take charge of Shaanxi Road."

"Thank you for your advice. My son will definitely consider this matter carefully and solve it safely!"

Zhao Gou agreed to his father perfunctorily, and his heart was as clear as a mirror. The basis for the Song and Jin Dynasty to reach an armistice agreement was that Li Yanqing was in charge of the northwest. If Li Yanqing was transferred from the northwest, the Jin soldiers would tear up the agreement and enter Shaanxi Road without hesitation. Only Li Yanqing was in charge of Shaanxi Road can protect the northwest and the east road of Hehe Road.

In fact, for Zhao Gou, whether Li Yanqing has troops to support himself is not a problem. As long as he controls his wealth, he dare not do too much. However, the father in front of him has only been back for three days and started to interfere in state affairs. This is what really deserves his vigilance.

Zhao Gou left, but Zhao Ji's eyes were gloomy. Li Yanqing's affairs were just a point of his efforts. His real purpose was to ascend the throne again.

If you want to abolish your son, you must first eliminate his son's followers and supporters. Li Yanqing is the first goal and he is also his biggest supporter.

But my son seemed to know this, so he dealt with him and refused to obey his opinions.

Zhao Ji is so experienced. Even if his son perfunctorily treats him, he knows where he should start.

Zhao Ji immediately wrote a handwritten order, recruiting a confidant guard, and whispered to him: "Thank you to travel to Chengdu and hand over this handwritten order to the prefect Zeng!"

Zhao Gou returned to the imperial study room and immediately asked Cao Yan, the governor of Lin'an Prefecture. Soon, Cao Yan hurried to the imperial study room and bowed, "I am here to see Your Majesty!"

"Cao Aiqing is not a favor and calm!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gou asked with a smile: "How is the old man's health?"

"He is in good health. We didn't expect that he was very adaptable to the climate in Lin'an Mansion. Some old illnesses were also showing signs of abating."

"This is a good thing! Be good to him and be good to your Cao family."

The official family's words are profound and Cao Yan knew it well. In fact, the Cao family is not united. The old man is there, and the Cao family can still maintain unity on the surface. If the old man goes, the Cao family's houses will probably go their own way and burn their own incense.

"Thank you for your concern, and we also hope that he can live a hundred years of life!"

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "I have something to discuss when I come to Cao Aiqing today. The Supreme Emperor doesn't want to live on the mountain, but wants to live by the West Lake to see if there is a ready-made house by the West Lake, with beautiful scenery and very quiet official house."

Cao Yan thought for a while and said, "The largest official house is only five acres, and there are less than ten private houses with more than twenty acres. They are all living there. No matter how many pieces of land the government has on the edge of the West Lake, if it is built faster, a large house can be built in two months."

Zhao Gou looked at the time. It was less than noon, and he smiled and said, "I happened to have time today. I will go to the field with you and choose a good place to build a house."

Cao Yan was shocked, "Does Your Majesty want to travel in a condom?"

Zhao Gou smiled, "It's not the first time I've been out, so it's not a big problem to go by boat."

When Cao Yan heard that he was traveling by boat, he breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly said, "Go and arrange it and let the civilian boat leave West Lake first."

"This is not necessary. I don't want to disturb the people. Just have a guard ship to follow you."

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty did a very good job of being close to the people. It was unimaginable in other dynasties that they visited West Lake with the emperor, but it was very normal in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou's dragon boat left the Royal Wharf and drove northeast under Cao Yan's guidance. There were many civilian boats in the lake. Seeing the heavily guarded dragon-headed boat appear, the civilian boats avoided them. Although the guard boats did not drive the civilian boats, it was inappropriate to compete with the emperor's dragon-headed boats, and everyone consciously gave up the water.

Soon, the dragon-headed ship gradually approached the northwest direction. Lin'an Prefecture had a large area of ​​land in the northeast corner of West Lake, which was prepared to be used to build official houses and official houses.

"Your Majesty, that's it!" Cao Yan pointed to the large open space on the shore in the distance.

Zhao Gou first looked at the lake water and frowned slightly. The lake water in this area was darker, and it seemed that the silt at the bottom of the water was brought up, dyeing the lake water black.

Cao Yan was a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "This is the waterway of Caohe. A large number of ships passed by at night, which affected the silt at the bottom of the lake. However, Beizhi was considering banning cargo ships from entering the West Lake, divert the route to the Xijing River, and clearing the river there, and it is feasible to complete it at the end of the year."

Zhao Gou nodded and said nothing. The capital usually requires a lot of supplies, and transportation is inevitable. He looked up the shore and saw that the land on the shore was very flat, and a large number of houses were being built in the distance. There should be the official houses and houses of middle and low-level officials. Not to mention that there is no scenery in this area, and it is not even a prosperous commercial center. Building a house here is obviously of low level.

More importantly, it was inappropriate to make the Supreme Emperor and the middle and low-level officials neighbor. Zhao Gou shook his head and said, "The scenery here is too bad, so I won't consider it."

"Your Majesty, there are two places with good scenery in West Lake. One is the Xiaotang Bay between Phoenix Mountain and Luoji Mountain, and the foot of Xizhao Mountain. The Xiaotang Bay is also an official. You can consider building a different palace there."

The Secretariat and the Privy Council are both in Xiaotangwan, and the rest of the father's palace is there. Isn't that just let the father directly control Zhizheng Hall? How could Zhao Gou do such a stupid thing? He pondered for a moment and said, "Go to Xizhao Mountain to take a look!"

Xizhao Mountain is west of West Lake, facing Yongjinmen. At the foot of Xizhao Mountain, the trees are towering and the springs are gurgling. Bujin Zen Temple is built on the hillside of Xizhao Mountain. The boats approach Xizhao Temple. Looking at the dense forest, a quiet atmosphere rushes into your face.

Zhao Gou couldn't help but praise: "This is simply a place where gods live."

"Your Majesty, this place is really good, and the land price is very expensive, which is more expensive than the land price on both sides of Nanyu Street, and you can't buy it now."

"Can you talk about it! Whose land is here?"

Cao Yan hesitated and said, "The land near the West Lake in this area is owned by Li Yanqing's father."

Zhao Gou smiled, "Is it your in-laws, Baoyanzhai's big boss?"

Cao Yan nodded, "It was him. He bought the land here three years ago and was very eye-catching. At that time, the land here was only ten cents per acre, but now it costs at least ten cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents of 10 cents

"Then let's talk to him. He is your brother's in-laws, his son is my brother-in-law, and he is all related. He should give this face!"

"I also think it's OK to talk about it!"

At this time, Zhao Gou suddenly found a large mansion in the woods. He immediately became interested and smiled and said, "There is a mansion over there, let's go and take a look."

After saying that, Zhao Gou ordered the ship to dock, and the ship slowly docked on a newly built pier. Zhao Gou and Cao Yan got off the ship and walked towards the house a hundred steps away under the strict protection of dozens of guards.

This house covers an area of ​​about fifty acres and is built at the foot of the mountain. However, the terrain is high. If you stand in front of the window, you can cross the big trees to see the sparkling West Lake. It is only about a hundred steps away from the lake. The house is obviously newly built, with white walls and black tiles, which are extremely beautiful and refined. The birds are singing around, passing through a green bamboo, and the steps are facing the gate.

"If I could live here, I wouldn't want to go back to the palace!"

Zhao Gou exclaimed repeatedly and asked the guards to call the door, and he wanted to go in and take a look.

After a moment, the small door opened and there was an old man with half-white hair inside. The guard pointed to this side and said a few words to the old man. The old man was shocked and ran back without even closing the door.

Before the guards could come back to report, the door opened. A middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt and a squid head walked out quickly. Cao Yan suddenly recognized him. It turned out to be Li Yanqing's father, Li Daqi.

"Your Majesty, he is Li Yanqing's father."

Zhao Gou nodded, walked up and smiled, "Mr. Li lives so leisurely!"

Li Daqi was also shocked. It was Cao Yan who accompanied the emperor. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to give a big gift, "Little Min Li Daqi pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"
