Chapter 539 0536 [I am the Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty! 】

Summer is about to enter, and the hot weather has made Tokyo even more prosperous.

As a famous gold-selling grotto in Tokyo, Fanlou is still full of entertainment and entertainment.

In the quiet courtyard in the southeast corner, Han Zhen was sitting in his study, reading the information sent by the Secret Intelligence Department.

"hiss!"

Taking a deep breath, he murmured to himself: "Is this Zhao Ji a rat? Where did he go?"

No trace was found in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the spies in Fujian had no information about Zhao Ji. Could it be possible that he escaped to sea?

It is not impossible. In the original time and space, Zhao Gou was expelled by the Jin army and took refuge at sea several times.

Under the mahogany desk, Lu Tian poked his head out, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "Now, the situation has been decided. Zhao Ji can't make any trouble, so why should your majesty care?"

Han Zhen stretched out his hand, gently caressed her delicate and charming cheek, and said with a chuckle: "You don't understand, if Zhao Ji is not escorted to Tokyo City, there will be no peace in the south. In this world, the most indispensable thing is careerists. ”

Various policies of Qi State will definitely touch the interests of some classes in the south.

Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

In order to protect their own interests, there will always be people who are willing to take risks.

The south is a place where evil cults have taken root. There are countless folk temples for prostitution, including Maitreya, Manichaeism, Nestorianism, Zoroastrianism, Xiang Hui, Ji Jing She... and some unnamed evil cults. More than ten.

Don't underestimate these cults. Putting aside everything else, cults were behind several major rebellions in the Northern Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years.

During the Renzong period, the Wang Ze Uprising, which caused a great uproar, was fueled by the Maitreya Religion.

At the beginning of the uprising, Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun also relied on the local obscene gods in central Sichuan to build momentum.

Not to mention the following Fang La and Zhong Xiang Yang Yao, they relied on Manichaeism to preach, develop believers, and rapidly expand their power.

There is no way around it. The people of this era are ignorant and have great reverence for ghosts and gods. This is a breeding ground for cults to breed and develop.

Moreover, these cults take root among the people and hide in the dark. When dormant, it is extremely difficult to detect them, let alone eradicate them.

To be honest, it is easy to conquer the south, but if you want to run it as well as Shandong and Gyeonggi, it is not easy and requires a lot of energy and time.

For these wealthy gentry and cults, is there anything more useful than the name Zhao Ji?

Therefore, Zhao Ji must find out and escort him back to the capital.

Let the people all over the world know that Zhao Ji is in Tokyo City.

Lu Tian picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth and spit it into the copper bowl, and said seriously: "I will ask the spies from the south to step up the search and find Zhao Ji as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Han Zhen smiled and nodded.

Putting down the tea cup, Lu Tian asked: "Your Majesty will not leave Beijing in the short term when he comes back this time?"

Han Zhen replied: "I'm going to the south in a while."

"what?"

Lu Tian said with a reluctant tone: "Your Majesty has just returned from the expedition in person, why are you going to the south again?"

"The South has been settled for the first time. I must go there personally to calm the people's hearts."

Han Zhen said, patted her round buttocks like a full moon, and said with a smile: "It won't take long this time. I will be back soon. When the south is settled, I will not leave Beijing in the next two years." , the key to building a new country is to develop people’s livelihood. The people lived too hard under Zhao Song’s rule. It’s time to change their way of life and live a better life!”

"Your Majesty's concern for the people is a blessing to the Qi Dynasty."

Lu Tian raised her head slightly and looked at Han Zhen's beautiful eyes, which almost turned into tears.

Feeling that Lu Tian's whole body was weak, Han Zhen said seriously: "You have just recovered from a serious illness and you are not easily tired. I have returned to the palace, so you should rest early."

"Your Majesty, go slowly."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Tian's eyes.

……

Following the secret passage all the way back to the palace, Liu Chang greeted him happily.

Seeing this, Han Zhen joked: "What happy event deserves you to be so happy?"

Liu Chang said happily: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. The battle report has been sent urgently from eight hundred miles away from Hangzhou. Wang Yuan has surrendered!"

Han Zhen smiled: "It seems Wang Yuan finally figured it out."

The two Zhejiang roads have long been part of Qi's plate. It's just a matter of time. But it has to be said that Wang Yuan's surrender saved Han Zhen a lot of money.

You must know that whether it is the Xuzhou Army commanded by Yue Fei or the navy, if they are stationed on the Liangzhe Road for one more day, tens of thousands more money and food will be spent.

Tens of thousands of troops need money to eat, drink, and defecate, and civilians also need money to transport food and grass. Even recruiting craftsmen and building warships still need money...

In addition, it also affected the Western Front battlefield.

After Wang Yuan returned and surrendered, Yue Fei was able to easily capture the two Zhejiang roads. Moreover, Wang Yuan's warships and naval forces could immediately enter the Xiangyang battlefield with just a little training. Hundreds of warships blocked the upper reaches of the Han River and advanced the battle ahead of schedule. In three to five months, he attacked Shuzhong.

This time and again, the money saved is as high as millions.

Han Zhen ordered: "Publish my decree and grant Wang Yuan the title of Commander-in-Chief of Guide. I will also give you a thousand catties of gold and a pair of jade."

The title of "Gui De Zhong Lang Jiang" is a vacuous post, a military official from the fourth rank.

Wang Yuan is still very capable, but there is currently no suitable vacancy in the army, so he will be given a false position to stabilize his mind.

Han Zhen continued to order: "In addition, send an order to Yue Fei to seize the two Zhejiang roads as soon as possible and receive the Song army under Wang Yuan."

"My slave takes orders."

Liu Chang bowed and responded.

……

……

Liangzhe Road, Xinzhou. On the official road, a group of fleeing people were struggling to move forward.

At this moment, Zhao Ji had a dark face, was wearing tattered linen clothes, and was slovenly. He was holding a dead wood cane and blended in with the crowd, blending in almost perfectly.

Four days had passed since I left the village. I learned from the young woman that the village was located at the junction of Quzhou and Xinzhou.

Walking seventy miles to the west, you can reach Yushan County in Xinzhou, and forty miles to the south is Jiangshan County. But now Zhao Ji is frightened by the remnants of Fang La. He dares to wander around Quzhou. If he is kidnapped to the mountains again, he is afraid that It's hard to save your life.

So, Zhao Ji decided to go to Xinzhou, even if he had to walk thirty miles more, he would admit it.

As long as he reaches Yushan County, his hard life will be over.

We walked and stopped all the way, drinking river water when we were thirsty and eating wild vegetables and fruits when we were hungry.

Zhao Ji, who used to avoid eating anything but delicacies, now gnaws even raw wild vegetables to find them extraordinarily sweet.

So, people, if you don’t push yourself, you will never know how much potential you have.

After walking for five full days, the group finally arrived in Yushan County.

When they arrived in Yushan County, the fleeing people began to part ways. Some went to seek refuge with relatives in the countryside, while others went to the county town to find a job.

All the way to the city gate, he was stopped by the city gate guard as expected.

"Where is the beggar from? Get out of here!"

Among the crowd, an old man took a step forward and said tremblingly: "We are people who have fled from Quzhou. Please help us go to the city to find a job."

The officer gave him a scornful look: "You just say so? Do you have a reason?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "Since we are fleeing, there is no excuse."

The officer yelled loudly: "If you don't have any reason, get out of here. If you dare to stay again, I will take you all to jail."

Seeing that after all the hard work, he finally arrived in Jiangshan County, but was blocked by a subordinate official. How could Zhao Ji endure this?

In anger, he pushed his way through the crowd and slapped him with his hand.

Snapped!
The crisp sound of a slap made everyone stunned.

Even the servant who was beaten covered his face and was stunned.

Zhao Ji raised his halberd finger and cursed angrily: "You are a dog that really doesn't know how to live or die. Why don't you hurry up and get out of the way, the county magistrate of Jiangshan, to pick you up!"

After all, he had been emperor for more than twenty years, and when he was furious, his power was unmatched.

Momentum, to put it bluntly, is the reflection of a person's confidence.

If you have money in your arms, you will naturally have a strong waist.

With power in your hands, you will naturally be calm in times of trouble.

These are where people’s confidence lies.

As an emperor of a country, especially Zhao Ji, the emperor who elevated his imperial power to the extreme, he has developed a strong momentum over a long period of time.

The officer was shocked for a moment, covered his face and said quietly: "You...who are you?"

Zhao Ji is afraid of bandits turning against him, but what the hell is he afraid of, a subordinate official in Da Song County?
Back under his own rule, the official of the Song Dynasty who used to call the shots and follow the rules seemed to be back again.

Zhao Ji said loudly in a clear Mandarin: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am the Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"

Official?

The officer swallowed and looked Zhao Ji up and down with disbelief.

He was a bit embarrassed, but his demeanor and momentum were far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

In the eyes of the police officers, even the county magistrate did not have such power.

And the people who were fleeing around were even more dumbfounded.

What?
Following us all the way, was it Your Majesty who was eating wild vegetables and drinking river water?

Goulon!

The officer swallowed, with a look of shock and uncertainty on his face, and took advantage of his slightly trembling legs to say: "You... Your Majesty... just wait... I..."

Halfway through his trembling words, the guard turned around and ran into the city.

"Mengzhi County, Mengzhi County!!!"

The officer rolled and crawled all the way back to the county office, shouting loudly.

It was noon, and the county magistrate Meng Wei was taking a lunch break in the backyard.

The officer's voice woke him up from his sleep.

Meng Wei was startled and hurriedly sat up. While putting on his official robe, he said, "But the Qi army is coming? Tell the generals of the Qi army that I have surrendered, I have surrendered!"

At this time, the housekeeper who was guarding outside the house replied: "Don't panic, Alang. It's not the Qi army who is calling. It's Hong Gou'er, the soap official on duty at the gate of the city."

When he heard that it was a county official, Meng Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said angrily: "Why is this dog barking so much?"

The official shook his head: "I don't know either."

After hearing this, Meng Wei put on his official hat, straightened his clothes, and walked to the lobby.

All the way to the lobby, before he could ask any questions, he saw Hong Gou'er shouting in panic: "Hongzhi County, a group of refugees have arrived outside the city. One of them calls himself the Supreme Emperor. Tell Hongzhi County to get out of the city to pick them up."

"The Great Emperor?"

Meng Wei exclaimed.

Hong Gou'er covered his face and said in a slightly aggrieved tone: "Yes, I even slapped Humble."

Meng Wei didn't care whether he got slapped or not. He was filled with confusion and uncertainty at the moment.
