The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1339 Demonstration in Song Dynasty
"How can..."

Yuan Zhenzi smiled very naturally, "Your Majesty, it is clear that Qing Huizi was not asked by a veteran to come to Changsha as the host, but she proposed it herself."

Zhao Dongting looked at Yuan Zhenzi suspiciously.

He really didn't believe in this unreliable celestial master.

But from Yuan Zhenzi's face, he really couldn't see anything wrong.Yuan Zhenzi's words should be true.

Zhao Dongting laughed in his heart, maybe he thought too much.

Thinking about it again, even if Qing Huizi was really arranged by Yuan Zhenzi to come to Changsha on purpose, so what?
Qing Huizi is a rare beauty in the world, not a prehistoric beast.

After being stunned for a while, Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Fairy Master, please go ahead..."

Yuan Zhenzi saluted again, and chased after the person in front.

Zhao Dongting took Liu Gonggong, Li Goudan and others to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, apart from the daughters, Concubine Yang Shu, Xie Daoqing, and the whole queen dowager who seemed to have been thrown into limbo were all invited here.

After all, Zhao Dongting is not a hard-hearted person.

When the Queen Mother rebelled, her family was implicated, some were dismissed from their posts, and some were exiled.The Queen Mother is almost unaccompanied in this imperial city.

Zhao Dongting couldn't bear her to stay in the deserted Forbidden Palace on New Year's Eve.

Just because he thought that the Queen Mother might not want to see him, he only asked the eunuch to report to him, and did not intend to force her to come to the bedroom.

Now that he had just entered the bedroom, he was still a little surprised to see the Queen Mother inside.

At the same time, my heart suddenly became much more relaxed.

Judging by the Queen Mother's appearance, she should let go of the hatred in her heart.

He walked in front of Xie Daoqing, Queen Mother Quan and Concubine Yang Shu, and saluted the three of them in turn.

The Empress Dowager Quan looked at Zhao Dongting with complicated eyes, and finally she stood up and said to Zhao Dongting: "I thank you, Your Majesty..."

Zhao Dongting sighed and waved his hands, "You are welcome, Queen Mother."

Thinking about it, he said again: "If the queen mother is lonely in the palace, she can move to live in the palace of the queen mother in the future."

He said and looked at Xie Daoqing, "I don't know what the Empress Dowager thinks?"

Both Xie Daoqing and the Queen Mother were slightly surprised.

The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Xie Daoqing expectantly.

Xie Daoqing looked at her, nodded and said: "I am very lonely in the palace, you will accompany me by my side from now on!"

The Empress Dowager Quan once bewitched her and almost caused chaos in Song Dynasty.After the truth came out, she was also extremely disappointed with the Queen Mother, and only now, those dissatisfaction disappeared.

Queen Mother Quan was her most valued daughter-in-law, and she had served her for so many years on the Mongolian plateau.

When letting go of the desire for power in my heart, in fact, there are many things that I naturally look away from.

Concubine Yang Shu watched from the side with a sincere smile on her face.

The next day, Zhao Dongting led all the relatives of the emperor, as well as the top officials of the court, the leaders of Buddhism and Taoism, to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven, earth and ancestors.Pray for the people of the world.

This can be said to be the most prosperous sacrificial ceremony since the Great Song Dynasty.

The leaders of the Buddhist and Taoist sects are all highly respected people.There are not a few celestial masters and holy monks.

Zhao Dongting knelt on the ground, looked at the bright sky, and murmured: "Maybe it won't be long..."

A few days passed quickly.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year in various parts of the Song Dynasty is far from disappearing.

North of Xiangyang Prefecture.

Marshal Yue Peng of the Xianglong Military Region led Tiankui and the defenders of Xiangyang Prefecture to the frontiers of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

There are ten thousand troops in Tiankui and ten thousand defenders in Xiangyang Prefecture.

In the vast wilderness, after the soldiers of the two armies rushed to the border line, under Yue Peng's order, they ignored the boundary markers and went straight to the territory of the Yuan Dynasty for more than ten miles.Then, set up camp in the wilderness.

Not long after the camp was set up, there was a faint rise of cooking smoke in the camp.

It was night, and at this secluded border, there was the sound of artillery.

The grenadier battalion of the Tiankui Army was set up along the north side of the camp, with thousands of grenadiers facing the north and firing in unison.

It is impossible for such a battle to hide from the Yuan Dynasty's inspection eyes.

And what Zhao Dongting and Yue Peng wanted was such an effect.

After the sound of the cannons stopped, Zhao Hu, who was standing beside Yue Peng, smiled lightly and said, "Marshal, we came to the territory of the Yuan Dynasty with such a big fanfare, and that old boy Zhenjin should be startled!"

"Who knows!"

Yue Peng said with serious eyes: "Now that the Yuan army also has ammunition, its combat power must have undergone earth-shaking changes. They may not be as afraid of us as before."

He wouldn't say this to others.But in front of Zhao Hu, he didn't have such worries.

As the commander of the Tiankui Army, and with Yue Peng sitting in the general military area of ​​Xiangyang Prefecture, plus the fact that the two have a very good personal relationship, Zhao Da is now Yue Peng's right-hand man.

Hearing this, Zhao Hu murmured, "Then do you think the Yuan Dynasty will just fight us like this?"

Yue Peng replied: "It depends on whether the army gathered on Qingyuan and other roads will continue to march into Xixia."

"So what?" Zhao Hu said.

Yue Peng looked at the dark night in the north, "If the Yuan Dynasty still insists on marching into Xixia, I think the emperor may take the initiative to start a war against the Yuan Dynasty this time."

"Can't it?"

Zhao Human was surprised and said: "We followed the emperor's southern and northern expeditions until now, but the emperor has never taken the initiative to attack the territory of the Yuan Dynasty."

"It's different now..."

Yue Peng sighed softly: "In the past, our Great Song Dynasty had arms, and the emperor did not take the initiative to attack the Yuan Dynasty. It was because he did not want to use force to affect the lives of the people, and he focused on the livelihood of the people. But now The lives of the people in the Song Dynasty are already very good, and the Yuan Dynasty has firearms. The emperor will not sit back and watch the Yuan Dynasty continue to grow. Now that the Yuan army is not good at fighting with firearms, we may still have some convenience. If you wait any longer, not only will the outcome be unpredictable, but even if you win, you will inevitably suffer damage. Your majesty's previous efforts will be in vain."

Zhao Hu gritted his teeth, "Damn it, I wish I had killed those Yuan thieves long ago."

As he spoke, he looked at Yue Peng suddenly, "Then why doesn't the emperor let us directly attack the main mansion on Nanjing Road?"

Yue Peng laughed, "You, you really need to use your brain more. The emperor's move is to make the Yuan Dynasty abandon Xixia. If the empress can destroy the Great Xia, we can concentrate on dealing with the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan army wants to help Daxia also means the same thing. The current war in Xixia is actually a struggle between the Song and Yuan dynasties, and it just depends on who will be the first to be unable to hold back and escalate this war into a real confrontation between the two countries."

Zhao Hu nodded with a half understanding.

……

Another few days passed.

The territory of Xixia is still quite calm.

Although the atmosphere was extremely suppressed, the Xixia and Daxia armies did not confront each other again.

The two major armies of Xiping and Heishuizhen Yan, as well as the Forbidden Army of the Shuzhong Military Region of the Great Song Dynasty, are still on their way, getting closer and closer to the Zhongxing Mansion.

The Yuanqingyuan, Yanyan, and Hedongbei armies are probably still preparing and have not officially set off.

Yuan Zhongdu.

A eunuch hurriedly "broke" into Zhenjin's imperial study.

As soon as he arrived in the room, he knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report on Nanjing Road."

Zhen Jin raised his head from behind the thick stack of memorials, his face was full of exhaustion, "Present it."

The old eunuch next to him hastily trotted up to receive the military emergency report and sent it to Zhen Jin.

Zhen Jin rubbed his eyes, pulled himself together, and opened the letter.

The emperor is not easy to do. It is not an exaggeration to say that he goes to bed later than a dog and wakes up earlier than a chicken.

Compared with his father, Kublai Khan, the real gold was still worse after all. Since he became emperor, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and now he could actually see a little gray hair on his temples.

After only seeing the contents of the letter, the tired look on his face suddenly dissipated.Instead, it was full of solemnity and anger.

The old eunuch next to him opened his mouth, and wanted to ask Zhen Jin what happened, but seeing Zhen Jin's appearance, he didn't dare to open his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Zhenjin said in a deep voice: "Go, bring Harbala here."

The old eunuch hurriedly took orders and walked out of the imperial study.

Not long after, the current Marshal of the Yuan Dynasty, the Black Tiger Harbala, hurried to the Imperial Study Room.

Entering the room, he cupped his hands against the real gold, "Your Majesty!"

Zhen Jin directly handed him the secret letter in his hand and said, "Please read this letter."

After reading the letter, Halbala's expression also changed slightly, and he lost his voice: "The Song army is demonstrating against me..."

"Humph!"

Zhenjin snorted coldly, and said angrily, "They all came to my Dayuan territory, of course they came to demonstrate against us."
