The struggle of the reborn prince

I sincerely wish you all a happy National Day and a happy family! ! !

"Hehe, the crowds are all here today. Jianxi asked Sangou to slaughter a few fat sheep and roast them, make some delicious side dishes, and prepare two jars of good wine to send here. Let's be happy!" Luoyang City University I searched for several days, and in the past few days, Zhao Tong has lived the days of "fighting guerrillas" in the past. I don't know how many places to sleep in a day. I am very happy to see several generals coming, so I ordered the banquet to be held last night. Stay overnight in the warm pavilion.

"His Majesty……"

"It's all my family today, whoever asks His Majesty to drink a pot of wine first!" Zhao Ren just stood up and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Tian, ​​who stepped down from the dragon chair and said, pointing everyone's noses.

"Okay, okay, we haven't had a drink together for many years, let's do what the second master said!" Zhao Xi shouted.

"Brother Shame, you can't be without rules!" Zhao Ren said with a glare at Zhao Shame.

"What are the rules? If we talk about rules, you, Brother Yong, Brother Zhi, Brother Lian, Brother Zhong, and Brother Xiao all left the garrison and entered Beijing without purpose, and everyone would be killed. I treat you as brothers and come to visit relatives to save you from the crime, and you are so wordy, the rule now is to listen to the words of the second master!" Zhao Shiben took office in Luoyang and was regarded as a local snake, and the others hurried away when they heard the news. Come, although it is eager to protect the Lord, but it is also a serious crime to investigate.

"Then...so be it!" Zhao Ren said helplessly.

"What are you talking about, hurry up and move the table to make room for me, you're not here for my funeral, what are you doing with your face down?" Zhao Tun rolled up his sleeves and was about to set up the table.

But he is the emperor, even when he was a prince, it was not his turn to do this kind of rough work, so everyone rushed forward and rushed to do it.After clearing away all the odds and ends in the warm pavilion, Jianxi had arranged for the little yellow gates to bring in several long tables to form a large table.Spread the tablecloth.The three dogs in the dining room had already brought the slaughtered sheep and put them on the open space outside the Nuan Pavilion to roast. The prepared vegetables and fruits were put on the table first.

"Let's first wish the second master good luck. He escaped the assassination of the dogs!" Zhao Yong first stood up and raised his glass. Not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he greeted Zhao Yi and rushed to Luoyang in the starry night. He was relieved to see that the emperor was fine.

"Second Master is the son of heaven, and he has the blessing of heaven, so what could happen!" Zhao Zhi raised his glass and stood up and said.

"Okay, okay, let's have a drink together!" Everyone coaxed.Zhao Tun also drank it in one gulp...

"Second Lord, have you ever found out the origin of the assassin this time!" After drinking three cups in a row, Zhao Zhong brought up the topic again.

"Well, now we can only confirm that it is an assassin from the Mulaiyi Kingdom in the Western Regions, but who ordered it and what its purpose is is still unknown." Zhao Tang picked up a piece of spicy dried tofu and said, this spicy taste does not come from the past. Mustard, but pure American pepper, of course, is also one of the achievements of the great voyage in recent years.

"Nowadays, the government is sound and the people are harmonious. The Jurchen and Jurchen are also in peace, who wants to be unfavorable to the second master?" Zhao Xiao also took a sip, fanning his tongue so hot that he said.

"Hmph, no matter who they are. Those who dare to attack the second master are our mortal enemies. Even if he hides in the remotest corners of the world, even if he gets to the eighteenth floor of hell, he will have to be dragged out to pieces!" Zhao Lian said through gritted teeth.

"Since the assassin is from the Western Regions, we don't care who is instigating him, we will send troops to destroy them first!" Zhao shamelessly said.

"There is no conclusion on this matter. We can't mess ourselves up first, and we can only catch the mastermind and follow the vines to get rid of them. The future troubles will be eliminated forever!" Zhao Ren became excited when he saw the brothers at the table drinking a few glasses of wine. interjected.

"Well, Brother Ren's words are right. If you only kill a few assassins, it will be a temporary solution, not the root cause!" Zhao Lian said.

"As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. We are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. After killing these thieves, they can still send people to attack. If you don't pay attention, it will cause disaster!" Zhao Zhi also nodded in agreement.

"Until the chief evil is not eradicated, the second master must be careful!" Zhao Yong also calmed down and said, and everyone's eyes focused on the emperor again.

"Cough, cough..." Zhao Tuo cleared his throat, raised his neck and drank another bowl of wine, and said, "Aside from the Zai Zhi, all of you here are high-ranking officials, and you ran here in panic just because of something like my assassination. .Although this shows that you are loyal to me, have you ever thought about what will happen if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble in Bianjing at this time, but there is no one in the court? Also, if the assassination was done by the Jurchen, wait for you to leave If they don’t defend the ground, what will happen if they invade in large scale and there are no generals at the border?”

"Second Lord, it's my subordinates who are eager to protect the lord, and I haven't thought about this much!" Zhao Ren's face turned red and he lowered his head. Also in Luoyang, and Xu Jingheng went to the south of the Yangtze River to mourn Zongze. It can be said that there is no leader in the court, and most of the guards have also been transferred to Luoyang.Once someone takes the opportunity to rebel in the capital, they can easily control the capital and let people occupy the old nest.Even if nothing happened, many high officials in the DPRK flocked to the Xijing Emperor's presence, which would make people think too much and cause unnecessary panic, and this was all caused by his own negligence of duty.

"I have failed the second master's trust, please punish the second master!" Zhao Ren took the lead, and everyone stood up and apologized.

"Sit down! In fact, I heard that you came here desperately after knowing that I was assassinated. I am very relieved and very moved. But you are no longer the servants of the palace, but are responsible for governing the country and the army, defending the country. Don't be too impulsive, and start from the overall situation!" Zhao Tong pressed everyone to sit down, his eyes swept over everyone's face, "If you say you have made such a big mistake, not punishing you will also violate us. The military rules and iron laws established back then..."

"Second Master, why did you punish us for admitting today? Who made us wrong?" Everyone listened to the emperor's words, and at first they enjoyed it very much. It's not the same thing, after so many years, the hairs still stand on end, and the calf feels cramped when I think about it.But today he came to his door, and he couldn't hide. Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Yong bravely stood up and said in a trembling voice, because the emperor can see that they will be punished lightly if they admit their mistakes.

"Second Master, since everyone is loyal, and it was an unintentional mistake in a hurry, it is better not to punish!" Just as everyone was waiting for the emperor's punishment, the savior arrived. Xin Zhao led a few A little yellow gate brought up the roasted mutton, looked at the emperor and said with a smile.

"This... Everyone knows that I love Xin Zhao the most. I can't help but show face when she says something, but my hands are itchy when I see you today..." Zhao Tong smacked his lips and looked embarrassed, He thought for a while and said, "Then I will ask a question. As long as you answer it correctly, not only will I not punish you, but I will also give you a heavy reward. But if you are wrong, hehe, how about punishment for both crimes?"

"Okay, then let's take a gamble with the second master. If we win, the second master will be reluctant to kill us, right?" Zhao Yong gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and stood up and said.

"Well, happy! Do you all agree?" Zhao Tang turned his face to look at the others and asked.

"Okay, at worst, we'll come back and show the second master the gate!" Zhao Shi also admitted, and everyone else nodded emphatically.

"Let me ask you, what is the most important thing in Song Dynasty at present?" Zhao Tang asked solemnly.

"Of course it is to eliminate the assassins and catch the mastermind, so as to protect the second master!" Zhao Zhong replied without hesitation.

"Then...it should be to enrich the country and secure the people, to ensure that the people of the Song Dynasty live well!" Seeing the emperor shaking his head, Zhao Zhi answered after thinking for a while.

"How could the second master only have such a little ambition, it must be kind and mighty, shocking the world!" Seeing the emperor still shaking his head, Zhao Xiao thought for a while and said.

"Guess, the second master asked what is the most important thing at the moment?" Zhao Xi gave Zhao Xiao a blank look and said, feeling that he wasted an opportunity for nothing, "The most important thing at the moment should be to make the country rich and the army strong, Enwei Si Barbarians, save my Great Song Dynasty from being ravaged after the war!"

"Second Master, I think the most important thing for the Great Song Dynasty is to accumulate strength, destroy the Kingdom of Jin in one fell swoop, slaughter all the Jurchens, use Xue Jingkang's humiliation, eliminate the biggest threat to our Great Song Dynasty, and protect our great Song Dynasty's foundation for thousands of years!" Zhao Ren got up and saluted the emperor.

"Well, that's right. The enemy we targeted at the beginning of our business in Xiangyi was the Jurchens. I have worked hard to train elite soldiers and make the country rich and strong in order to prevent the Song Dynasty from being destroyed by the Jurchens and the people from being enslaved by the Tartars. Although the Jurchens were forced to Our strength has no choice but to make peace with us for the time being, but it has been preparing its troops and horses, and is always ready to herd horses in the Yellow River, and then enter the Central Plains. The heart of destroying us and the Song Dynasty will not die, and it is still our biggest enemy!" Zhao Tong finally nodded.

"Second Master, don't worry, as long as you give an order, we are willing to be the pioneers to wipe out Liaodong!" Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, now the internal affairs of our Great Song Dynasty are becoming more and more stable, the four barbarians have surrendered, the treasury is full, and the battle to destroy the gold is approaching!" Zhao Tuo said loudly, "Everything you do from today must be based on this, and you must not do it for nothing. Trivial disturbances, hard training of elite soldiers, hoarding of supplies, as many as three years, as little as two years, I will personally lead everyone to cut gold, go straight to Huanglong, slaughter all the Jurchens, it is shameful!" Zhao Tuo said loudly.

"I would like to follow the second master to go straight to Huanglong and destroy Jurchen!" Everyone saluted in unison.

"Okay, let's all brothers have a drink together and swear to destroy the Jurchen!" Zhao Tong raised his glass and said loudly.

"Swear to break Jurchen, swear to break Jurchen..." Everyone drank the wine in their glasses.

"Second Master, the assassins are rampant now, threatening the safety of Second Master, we can't take it lightly, it's good for us to escort you with you!" Zhao Lian wiped his mouth and said.

"Hmph, what can the little thieves do to me? You have enough to eat and drink, and you will go back to guard the ground tomorrow, I have a reason!" Zhao Tong snorted coldly after hearing this... (to be continued...)
