?In the sultry Chang'an Imperial City, even the wind penetrates the hall is weak at this time. The branches of the weeping willows that have been planted in the palace for many years seem to have solidified, and they don't move for a moment.

On the tree poles, the annoying cicadas kept ringing. Several eunuchs stood quietly in the corridor, each of them lowered their hands and shoulders, and even the sound of breathing was suppressed. The corners of their eyes kept looking at the shabby and dilapidated hall called Chongzheng Hall.

Their Holy Emperor Zhao Huan just learned the "good news" that Zhao Huan, the King of East China Sea, was elected Emperor of the Song Dynasty. He was so angry that he threw things and scolded people.

Anyone who wants to put it on his gun is afraid that his life will be gone immediately.

Being with the king is like a tiger!

In Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Huan, a high-ranking official from the Song Dynasty, walked around in anger. He was only wearing a red robe. After running from Kaifeng to Chang'an, Zhao Huan made himself such a suit of military officers, and often dressed in the Chongzheng Hall to summon ministers. He probably told his ministers that the emperor was also a martial artist, and was working hard to govern and was preparing to fight back to his hometown.

However, Zhao Huan is indeed not a weak bean sprout body. Although he is not as strong as his father Zhao Ji, younger brother Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou, he is still okay. He is still a bit majestic when wearing the belly robe of a military general.

It’s just that the white-faced scholar’s ​​face is so delicate that he doesn’t look like a murderer who doesn’t blink.

The big tiger Zhao Huan, who was wearing the martial arts clothes, walked around while saying something angrily.

"...What a filial son Zhao Sanlang! What a elected Su King! My family's world is like this, he is still doing this in Jiangning Mansion! I can't forgive him, I can't watch my ancestors' country be ruined by him, a traitor! I want to lead the army in person, and I want to attack the traitor!"

Dazai Cai You and Zhishumi Junshi were both sitting on the skull, just looking at Zhao Dahu. The boss of the East and West Mansions did not show any nervous and anxious expressions, but instead felt relieved.

Because both of them knew that it was actually a good thing for Zhao Kai to be emperor in Jiangning! He did not call himself emperor and did not recognize Zhao Huan, who was the emperor. It was even more disgusting to call him Lao Shizi the country.

He clearly wanted to be the emperor, but he pretended to be a filial son and wanted to hold the Supreme Emperor of Xiangyang!

With his handful, Jiangnan and Jingchu were integrated into one. Zhao Ji could restore the throne with Zhao Kai's support at any time!

Zhao Ji, a tyrant who messed up the Song Dynasty, was not peaceful, and he was the emperor and refused to retire. He also captured military power and territory in Xiangyang Prefecture, as if he wanted to make a comeback at any time.

But Zhao Kai did not dare to deal with his father, but was pure filial piety; the other was afraid that Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai would merge. Once they merged completely, Zhao Huan's country would be in danger! So he could only coax them, and Zhao Kai pointed at the nose and scolded him for being unfilial, so he could only pretend to be confused and didn't hear it.

This is so frustrating!

Now, the fox tail of the traitor is revealed. Zhao Ji is both the emperor on his own! If you want to be the emperor, then ascend the throne in Xiangyang Prefecture. Let's see if anyone will support him?

Zhao Huan seemed to be furious, but in fact he felt a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was quite happy.

This time his father has no strong support!

Moreover, the court also had an excuse to attack Jiangnan!

It is not that I really want to fight the Eastern Song Dynasty, but that I can take advantage of the opportunity to fight the Eastern Song Dynasty to take control of the Jingchu land.

The question now is just how much can Jingchu be conquered.

It is impossible to collect Jingchu's military power, financial power, and criminal power as in the past.

More than 70,000 people from the Jingchu army obtained farmlands between Jianghan and Han, and became the solid foundation of the Jingchu regime. The strong city of Xiangyang is not something that can be broken every moment. Even if the Guanlong army is dispatched, it is impossible to force it, and at most it will be a long siege.

But how could it be possible to rely on Guanzhong’s food and grass to support a war that has long besieged Xiangyang?

Therefore, against Jingchu, you can only take wisdom, appease, and not attack forcefully!

At this time, Zhong Shizhong, the Minister of the Privy Council, spoke casually: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the Han thieves are incompatible, and the court cannot tolerate the changes in the southeast, and should immediately attack."

Zhao Huan breathed a sigh of relief and focused his attention, "Yes, we should attack immediately!"

He just pretended he was still in power!

Whether he can be conquered is not something that the official, as a member of the government, can decide in one sentence!

In today's Chang'an, the one who really has the final say is actually a group of Jingkang's advisers.

These Jingkang staff are connected to the basic officers who command the government soldiers, and above them are the military computer room, supporting room, teaching room, official room, spy room, support room, horse room, weapon room, military food room, militia room, reserve room and other ten rooms. They also control the middle and grassroots military officers in the Ministry of War.

The fact that Zhong Shi, who had suffered so many defeats in Hebei, could be the throne of the affairs of the Privy Council because he would not interfere with the affairs of the Jingkang staff.

He is now the soundtrack for the staff!

When Zhao Huan heard that the Zhong Shizhong supported the siege, he finally got a little confused, but at the same time he began to worry that the Jingchu Group would be really disintegrated.

Jingchu also has a staff member...

Only when the Guanlong Staff and the Jingchu Staff were balanced with each other can Zhao Huan's throne be slightly stable.

If the two advisers were united, the Song Dynasty would become a republic at any time!

So what Zhao Huan, a high-ranking tiger, needs most now are several secondary tigers at the vice-national level... He can't be the only one, otherwise he would be skinned and slashed by Jingkang's staff.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly gave Cai You a wink.

Cai You stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, I think you can confer the title of King Kang as King of Xiangyang, the Grand Marshal of the Army, Jinghu, and the Ambassador of Xuanfu in Jiangnan. The troops who ruled Jinghu to pacify Jiangnan!"

Zhao Huan hurriedly looked at Master Zhong.

Now the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji is his number one enemy! Because Zhao Ji will threaten his throne, Zhao Gou... has no such qualification.

Therefore, using Zhao Gou as the King of Xiangyang to replace Zhao Ji's Supreme Emperor to take charge of Jingchu is the only choice at present.

"What should the Supreme Emperor do?" asked Mr. Zhong. "Are you invited to Chang'an to live?"

"Chang'an is bitter, cold and dry, how can there be peace and happiness in Bashu?" Zhao Huan said lightly.

This is to move Zhao Ji to Bashu... I really treat him as Emperor Minghuang of Tang!

"Can you get there?" Cai You asked uncertainly.

"Let's see what the Ninth Brother and the generals of Jingchu mean!" Zhao Huan said coldly, "The court can issue an order and let them choose the side!"

...

"Haha, my father and son, brothers are so frustrated that they are so good. Why do we say that our dynasty's family rules are better than those of all dynasties... Is it still a matter of the generals of Jingchu to choose sides? Humph, aren't you afraid that the generals of Jingchu will launch a republic revolution?"

"Will they make a republic? Not so?"

"Why not? Between father and son and brother, they are cannon fodders wherever they choose, and only the republic is the way to live. The government is the same, how can they choose?"

"Let them choose? Are we forcing us to find a way to conquer Jingchu's new army for him?"

In Jingzhao Prefecture City and within the office of the East Prefecture Privy Council, a group of Jingkang staff members were talking nonsense.

There is nothing good to say! If it were put in the past, the Censorate would have to consider many of them!

But now, who dares? What if I hate life?

Besides, Zhao Huan gave the problem to Jingkang Jiyi and others, and they came up with a solution. Having a solution is the most important thing, and being respectful and not important.

Because there is no way to conquer Jing Chu, how many of the remaining mountains and rivers in the Song Dynasty can fall into the hands of his official family?

If Jingchu side embraced the Supreme Emperor and restored the throne, what should he do? Send troops to attack? Can you conquer Xiangyang? It’s the same thing. There is an Eastern thief who will riot Zhou in the Central Plains!

If you don’t attack... Will Jingchu take the lead and take over the land of Bashu? What else will Zhao Huan have? Will there be such a little territory in Guanlong?

Life can't go on!

Qu Duan, the Tongzhi Privy Council official, also sat in the General Office. He listened to the group of comrades talking, and he didn't stop his words. He just frowned and thought hard. In the end, everyone had nothing to say, and then he turned his attention to Qu Duan.

Qu Duan breathed: "What solution is to think of? It's just how to divide the benefits.

Guanlong, Jingchu is a family! Is it really a war? If you really fight, aren’t the merchants and shameless navy members of the East Pirates and Jiangning?”

The new army of the Song Dynasty had never dealt with much, because most of the naval officers were from the southeastern markets. Most of the army officers came from the northwest and Hebei. The conflicts between the two sides were not disliked by each other, but were caused by major economic conflicts.

Of course, the conflict between the Xinjun of the Western Song Dynasty, which was based on Guanlong, and the ruling group of Zhou State was also very large. Once the Zhou State unified the world, they could not resist the impact of the Guanlong market by "Tianjin", and they could not seize wealth from Bashu. The Xinjun of the Western Song Dynasty owned the country. On the one hand, their interests came from the fields in Guanlong, and on the other hand, the taxes paid by Bashu, which were indispensable.

"Supreme Minister, how much do we score for the Jingchu Army?"

I'll ask a question right away.

When fighting, I think there are fewer people, and when I share money, I should think there are too many people.

Qu Duan smiled: "Jingchu is also a wealthy place! And it is close to Jiangnan and has the benefits of water transportation. Isn't it enough for those from the Hebei Army to eat?"

“That’s right.”

"Then let them play with their own things in Jingchu?"

Qu Duan shook his head, "This is not possible, there must be exchanges between the two sides... We are not familiar with those Hebei people. We were classmates and friends in the past. Moreover, Jingchu and Guanlong must support each other in order to maintain the situation of three parts of the world. Otherwise, they will be destroyed by the Eastern thieves and Jiangning sooner or later."

"Being bullied by Jiangning? Not so?"

"It's hard to say..." Qu Duan sighed, not continuing the topic, "Who do you have any old friends with Yue Fan?"

"Reported to the Lord Privy Councilor, Xiaguan and Yue Fan are classmates and friends."

"Okay! Just go to Luoyang." Qu Duan stood up, "First, please contact me to ask the emperor for his order!"
