Yi Song

Chapter 303 Emperor Tianzuo ran away!
On August 15, after more than three months in Bianjing, the royal chariot and his party finally arrived at Xindu in Jizhou and stopped again. Zhao Ji wanted to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifth year of Xuanhe with his family and ministers.

The tower at the east gate of Xindu was packed with people.

"In previous years, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was either at Fuyan Palace or Genyue, celebrating with all my dear friends. Only this year, I was in the remote Xindu City in Hebei Province.

In order to uphold my father's last wish and comfort our ancestors, you and I have braved the thorns and weathered the wind and rain. Thank you for your hard work!

I’d like to toast you all! The bright moon is in the sky, and the whole world is celebrating together! "

Zhao Ji raised his wine glass and said to everyone.

Cai You, who was the closest, held up his wine glass and said with red eyes: "The hardest part is for the officials. Not only do they have to worry about military affairs, but they also have to travel. I can see it really clearly. After leaving Bianjing, His Majesty became thinner. After walking around, it was still much darker.

My lord, I am really heartbroken. "

As he spoke, Cai You rolled up his sleeves and wiped away his tears.

I really can’t stand it anymore!

Otherwise, it is not enough to deter the barbarians from all directions, and otherwise it is not enough to demonstrate the great achievements!
it is good!
The next two sentences hit Zhao Ji's heart.

The first two sentences are powerful and eye-catching.

If I let you get in front every time, if you give it to us once or twice, you will die!
After scolding, Wang Fu and others looked sad and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the country and the people, and for the great cause of the ancestors, he personally traveled thousands of miles.

"The Yellow River is far away and Yanshan Mountain is far away, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are at the foot of it; I pray to the bright moon at night, not for myself, to help my holy king ascend to the sky."

We worked so hard that our internal organs were completely destroyed. Seeing His Majesty so thin is more painful than cutting one's own flesh! "

There are flattering words all around, so I don't feel anything; if there weren't any, I would feel uncomfortable all over.

After recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun and annihilating Beiliao, he drew his sword and looked around at a loss. Beyond the Han and Tang dynasties, even the First Emperor of the Dragon Dynasty pales in comparison in front of him.

The civil servants all cheered and jumped forward enthusiastically, picking up their pen and ink and thinking as brightly as they could!

He flipped through it and saw one with a very beautiful font, like his own thin gold body, and his unique style, which made him look like a family of his own.

Zhao Ji pointed to the bright moon above his head and the quiet and vast fields outside the city.

Zhao Ji first said "Hello" in his heart, and then looked at the poem carefully.

The generals stepped aside in embarrassment.

Look! "

Now to launch the Northern Expedition and regain Yanyun, what we want is to be as powerful as a rainbow, and what we want is to swallow mountains and rivers with power.

He stood under the bright moon, high-spirited, and waved his hands deliberately pretending not to care: "Okay, okay! I am doing this for the Song Dynasty and for the people of the world, so it doesn't matter if I work hard! You don't need to say any more.

After a while, dozens of poems were presented to Zhao Ji.

This is our specialty!

"The bright moon is in the sky, and the mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away! Don't let it down with such beautiful scenery. Come write a poem quickly, gentlemen."

mean! Despicable! shameless!
Wang Fu and others all cursed secretly.

Zhao Ji had long been accustomed to the flattering words of his ministers.

I no longer have any pursuits in the human world. I can only jump one level higher and pursue sitting in the Lingxiao Palace and becoming the co-lord of heaven and earth.

Who wrote the poem that suits me so well?

Zhao Ji saw the signature and said, "Tai Xue learns from Qin Hui." Well, such talents must be praised!
It's just that he didn't think about it carefully. Why did Qin Hui, as the official of the Imperial Academy, not take charge of the teaching work at the Imperial Academy in Bianjing, but instead followed him on the Northern Expedition?

"Qin Hui is good at writing calligraphy and poetry. Such a talent cannot be buried. According to the imperial edict, Qin Hui was promoted to Minister of Rites, and became a bachelor of Baohe Palace."

"Yes."

Pairs of eyes focused on Qin Hui, filled with jealousy, envy, and flattery.

After a night of drunkenness, Zhao Ji passed the edict and stayed in Xindu for another three days.

He was ready to hit the road again, but was stopped by Zhao Kai and others.

"Your Majesty, further ahead is Hejian Mansion, which is only more than a hundred miles away from Baigou River. The Liao people are cunning and cruel, and they will not sit still and wait for death. At that time, they will raise troops across the border, rob the grain roads, and disturb the place. If the imperial commander is surprised, all the people will be killed. The sixteen states of Yanyun are not perfect either.

The ministers and others sincerely request your majesty to temporarily stay in Xindu and send Liu, Yao, Xin and others to control Bazhou Xiongzhou and directly take Zhuozhou. Liu Gong of Zhending Prefecture sent out Guangxin's army to capture Yizhou.

It was then reported that Duke Yan had taken Guizhou, the holy state. The Zhenwu Department goes south to capture Zhongjing, and the four armies and horses join forces at Yanshanfu City in the north of Liao Dynasty. Great things can be accomplished! "

Zhao Kai made an impassioned speech and strategized to win the battle thousands of miles away. Zhao Ji's eyes flickered and he opened his mouth in approval.

As expected of me, a descendant of the Zhao family.

"Third brother is so majestic and worthy of being a Miao descendant of Taizu Taizong! Then I will order you to be the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, sit in the middle of the river, and command the Xiongba and Zhending armies!"

Zhao Kai's expression froze, and his impassioned expression froze in his face for an instant.

Ten thousand mythical beasts were rushing through his mind.

What do I want this ghost Hebei Xuanfu envoy to do at this time!
The officials and imperial chariots conduct the expedition in person, and the Hebei Xuanfu envoys are useless!
Is it possible that you still want to compete with the officials to take the lead?

He was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy to Hebei and rushed to Hejian Prefecture, more than a hundred miles away from the border, to supervise the war. He did not gain much credit, but the risks were huge.

Although the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were full of confidence, they knew in their hearts that the real war would have to be fought by Liu Guozhang and the Zhenwu Department, and the soldiers and horses from Hebei were there to make up the numbers.

At that time, when they have wiped out the main force of the Liao people, Hebei soldiers and horses will go north to pick peaches.

This was the plan envisioned by the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Why should I go to the front line and take risks when I can easily pick peaches?
Not much credit is given.

You stayed in Xindu and enjoyed a prosperous life, and your merits are not small.

But as soon as his father opened his mouth, Zhao Kai knew that he could not refuse. Once he refused, the glorious image he had worked so hard to build would completely collapse.

Zhao Kai turned his head so many times that his brain was almost dry. He finally made up his mind and said, "Yes, I will accept the order!"

Although he pretended to accept it happily, others could tell that the three kings were not in a good mood.

Only Zhao Ji was in high spirits and turned around to ask if there were any places of interest nearby this remote Xindu city in Hebei Province.

On the second day, Zhao Kai, the envoy of Xuanfu in Hebei, was wearing armor and preparing to leave with his army. Unfortunately, he fell from his horse and fell unconscious. He lay there for three days and three nights before he woke up.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to appoint the fifth prince, Su Wang Zhao Shu, as the envoy to Hebei to propagate and continue to take orders to the north.

Zhao Shu wanted to cry but had no tears. He did not want to sign the Privy Council with Cai You, so he volunteered to be the deputy envoy of Xuanfu and led his troops north together. In desperation, Zhao Shu cursed in his heart and together with Cai You, followed Liu Yanqing and others, the whole division went north.

At the end of August, the Northern Expedition Song Army finally came to dominate the two states, and the Hebei Xuanfu Envoy also arrived at Hejian City.

Before everyone could sit down and take a breath, they received shocking news from Beiliao.

Emperor Tianzuo, the leader of the Northern Liao Kingdom, ran away from Nanjing City in the Northern Liao Dynasty!
