Yue Fei's memorial was sealed the next day and handed over to Zhang Xian. A few days later, in the midsummer of the fifth year of Jingkang, Qin Hui first followed the Queen Mother Longyou to take action, and went to Zhenjiang by land, met Han Shizhong, and then entered the river to set sail.

Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, together with Zhang Xian and others, and thousands of imperial guards under the command of the two, set off behind Qin Hui, and went directly from Jiankang to the river to take a boat on the Jinghu Road.

Zhao Gou was also picked up from Xianzhong Temple and joined the army of the two.

They did not need to travel as fast as a messenger. In addition, they had a lot of personnel and were very burdened with heavy baggage. They only traveled two or three hundred miles a day, which was considered fast. It was already a month and a half later when Qin Hui arrived outside Chang'an City with the Empress Dowager.

Because the empress dowager is of great importance, even though Zhao Huan was an emperor, he could not neglect the entrusting. When Qin Hui approached Chang'an, he sent a messenger every day to deliver letters to the palace. When the empress dowager got a day away from the city, Zhao Huan had already led all civil and military officials to Baqiao outside the city to greet him.

It has been more than a year since he returned to Chang'an, and Zhao Huan's spirit has become a hundred times stronger than before. He practices the exercise method of future generations every day, running and fitness, eating and sleeping reasonably, and his originally thin body has become strong and refreshing. With his deliberate efforts, his riding and shooting skills are no longer under the ordinary imperial guards.

Not only is his body, but his mental temperament is also completely different from the timid and cowardly Zhao Huan in the past. He makes things clear, has a deep mind, sharp vision, and is straightforward.

As a result, many people who had met the emperor back then praised him as the Lord of Revival and had absolute confidence in his body and intelligence.

Although the country is facing the arrival of the empress dowager and the state affairs are gradually on the right track, the weather has been very good since this spring. Under the supervision of the law, officials from all over the country dare not neglect official affairs. Although they still cannot do the meticulous and strictness of the Qin Dynasty's farming war. In the good times and officials did not cause trouble or help, the entire Shaanxi, central Sichuan, southeast, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi have all achieved good harvests.

Only in this way, facing the heavy army of more than 100,000 Jin soldiers in Hedong, the chaotic situation on Jinghu Road made Zhao Huan even more concerned and worried.

He himself knew that everything he had done was nothing but improvement on the original basis, and the real change and test were still to come.

That's the real challenge.

It was noon, and the so-called Ba Bridge scenery during the Tang Dynasty had long disappeared. Over the past thousand years of development and countless wars and destruction made the land of Shaanxi and Gansu no longer as handsome as it was back then.

The bare yellow earth opened its mouth wide under the scorching sun, and was talking silently.

Several dusty willow trees waved their branches dejectedly. Not far from the tree, a winding and twisting river flowed through the earth weakly.

The soil and water destruction, and most of the vegetation of the land was destroyed. While the land of Shaanxi was nurtured with the prosperous civilization of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it also paid a heavy price.

Although he said he was coming out to welcome him, Zhao Huan did not put down the matter at hand.

Wu Jie brought his army back from Sichuan to Shaanxi, and had long been sent to Yanzhou to deploy defenses. The remaining troops from Huanqing and Hexi gradually gathered on the Hedong front line.

Liu Qi was sent to Tongguan and Shanzhou.

The city of Chang'an has gradually increased from more than 10,000 troops to more than 30,000.

After the Qing army, the money saved was not used elsewhere. On the contrary, Zhao Huan tried to save money under the pressure of many high pressures and power tricks, local governments saved money and also used it to recruit imperial guards and select and train. Not only did the number of soldiers in Shaanxi not only increased from more than 180,000 to more than 220,000.

With such troops, the situation is still tense and difficult.

With a defensive momentum against the offensive. Hedong is the upper reaches, oppressing the Shaanxi routes from multiple routes. Although the city defense measures in Tongzhou, Shaanxi, Tongguan and other places that were lost and regained were limitedly restored, facing the tens of thousands of Jin soldiers gathered in Luoyang, the pressure was also very high.

In such a severe environment, the judgment and analysis of the enemy's situation and the judgment of the enemy's main attack direction are still important.

Zhao Huan was just an official in his previous life. Although he had a high interest in history like ordinary Chinese people, he had a high interest in history. After returning to this time and space, he also studied hard in military affairs, but his talent was limited to his fundamental change.

In this way, he could only try his best to mobilize the power in his hands in the flood of military information reports, supplement the front line, encourage and trust the front line generals, and mediate the conflicts between the generals, so as to face the powerful Song army, he could play its greatest role.

As for the result, it is unknown whether it will be forced into the gate by Wanyan Huo's woman and pressed along the Wei River Valley like in the third year of Jingkang, or whether it will advance from Taiyuan and other places in Hedong to Yanzhou and other places like Wanyan Salibu and Wanyan Yinkeshu.

The situation was severe, but Zhao Huan was not panicked. He still met ministers every day, and even summoned close Hanlin scholars to the palace to teach and read the classics and history, and sometimes occasionally discussed poetry and essays.

The emperor's demeanor and temperament made the situation less chaotic than the Jin soldiers invaded a few days ago. Everything was carried out step by step, nervously and urgently, but there was no panic. The rush of several Jin soldiers with fangs and claws caused officials to surrender, the army fled, and the people would be dispersed again.

Because the empress dowager had not arrived, he had finished handling several business tasks. Although it was still early, he had no intention of sitting down again.

Get up and walk around and reach the gate of this palace.

I looked up and saw smoke rising from a distance a few miles away.

The tall samurai warrior with a fresh helmet and a bright armor, stood beside him with a Gope arrow.

Zhao Huan was silent, just looking at the smoke and dust in the distance.

Queen Mother Longyou, he didn't know what the person he was, nor did he know each other, nor did he intend to let this old woman with a reputation participate in state affairs again. Naturally, he would not let her suffer from the pain of being turbulent and displaced again.

In history, this old woman fled to Fujian, Jiangxi, and Zhao Gou was in exile at sea. Such a thing doesn't have to happen again.

And Zhao Gou...

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I knew it was wrong, but I quickly took it away.

Perhaps Zhao Huan in history would spare his ninth brother's life, but he would definitely not.

It’s just that Zhang Xian attempted to rescue Zhao Gou, and there was clearly a shadow of Yue Fei behind him. How to deal with it has become the biggest problem he has been hanging in his mind these days.

Just as he was in a daze, the sound of iron armored pieces sounded in his ears. When he looked back, he saw that Fu Su, the man who was on duty today, was in charge of the security of the palace.

Seeing Fu Su pressing the sword in his hand, as if he was facing a great enemy, Zhao Huan laughed silently and said to him: "Thousands of palace front squads are directly guarding each other, why should you do this?"

As the Su Lang official, Fu Su didn't have to salute the emperor. After hearing the question, he just replied in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty's safety is more important than Mount Tai, how dare I be negligent?"

Zhao Huan admired this conscientious official very much, and it was quite interesting to promote him at the time.

Because he did not know the officials of the Song Dynasty, he ordered people to write down information about all county magistrates or above in the territory and check it at any time.

The Tengwensi and the Pedestriansi will update the information at any time and hand over the assessments of each official during his term.

He himself often took his guards to patrol all over Shaanxi, and personally heard the people's evaluations of officials.

One day, when he was inspecting a county and asked about Fu Su, the people shook their heads: "This man is too rude. There are only a few soldiers in the county, and what can he do? He is trying to train troops every day, causing chaos, which makes the county officials and the wing soldiers very dissatisfied."

Zhao Huan just smiled and issued an edict the next day. He summoned Fu Su to the front of the palace and served as the duty of guarding the guard.

At this moment, Zhao Huan felt aroused in his heart and asked him: "The ninth brother died in the river and the world is mourning. What do you think?"

Fu Su didn't think about it and immediately replied: "This is the responsibility of the officials and soldiers of the entourage. People should be sent to investigate strictly, and the dereliction of duty will be punished according to the law."

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Recently, the pedestrian department came to report that many people said that something happened to my ninth brother was my instruction. What do you think?"

Fu Su replied: "Of course, this cannot be instructed by Your Majesty. How can you act like this in a friendly manner? Besides, I am a military minister, and such things should not be the concerns of me and inquire about me. I only know that I will be loyal to the country and protect my Majesty's safety. The rest should not be thought of by me."

In the end, this honest man was exposed.

You shouldn't think about it, it doesn't mean you didn't think about it.

Zhao Huan smiled casually, knowing that such things cannot deceive people. Even people like Fu Su knew that this must be his own move, and even more disagreeing with others.

However, for those who are the emperor, some things must be done but must be done. As long as you do not lose the position of the emperor, the family and country will be revived, why not be afraid of others' words?

History is allowed to be written by the strong.

The two of them were speechless for a moment, only the patrol soldiers, the armor leaves on the ground on their bodies, made cold sounds of gold and stone in the constant sound of footsteps.

After a while, several prime ministers who were responsible for greeting first sent people to report the news in turn. The empress dowager was about to arrive and asked the emperor to go out to the palace and greet him at the side of the road.

Zhao Huan calmed down, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and said silently. He thought he could let go of everything, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered his mother who was far away from him, a thousand years later.

He did this, not only did the ministers feel that the power of heaven was difficult to violate and the will of heaven were unpredictable, but even the people who served him every day felt that the emperor in this state would definitely not be violated.

After a long time, Zhao Huan finally raised his head and said calmly: "Let's go, let's go to welcome the Queen Mother."

At the emperor's order, the guards of the ceremonial guards immediately set off. The band had already arrived at the side of the avenue and began to play the music from the palace. The emperor did not ride any utensils or ride a horse, but walked forward and slowly walked towards the direction of the Empress Dowager's frame under the scorching sun.
