If Xiao Zhonggong insists on letting Zhao Huan be the one who is a minister, then Yuwen Xuzhong and Qin Hui can send him back to Anfeng directly.

Because Yuwen Xuzhong and Qin Hui both knew that the Jin soldiers were defeated on Jingji Road and West Jing Road - whether they were defeated by Zhao Kai's real swords and guns, they were all defeated! And the defeat was quite ugly, and they could not gain a foothold in Huaibei and sneaked all the way to Huainan!

In this case, if Zhao Huan still praised the Jin Kingdom, it is hard to say whether the heroes in the southeast would still regard him as the truth.

Although Zhao Kai has positioned the world today as a chaotic era, the literati and people in the ten routes and two prefectures in the southeast are still living in a stable and prosperous state, and their thinking is completely from the peace era. Therefore, they all recognize the great truth of "there is no day, and the people have no two masters", and before they truly see Zhao Kai's strong soldiers and horses, they will not agree with the fallacy of "whose emperor is better than a genius, and those who have strong soldiers and horses do it."

Therefore, in the eyes of the Southeast scholars and officials, Zhao Kai, who proclaimed himself emperor and claimed to "reopen the Song Dynasty", was not a righteous man at all, but a traitor who was ruthless and would sooner or later be executed.

And Zhao Huan, the crown prince of the former emperor of Zhuangzong, was the orthodox lord of China!

It is precisely because of this understanding that Zhao Huan, who had no force at hand, safely sat down to rule the Jinling emperor in the southeast, and without much effort, he comforted the southeast half of the wall... Of course, there were also people who took advantage of the chaos to rebel and cause trouble, but with the combined efforts of the few Song army and local literati and officials, they all started to destroy and did not cause a major disaster.

But if Zhao Huan recognized the thief as his father and praised Wanyan Wu Qimai as his son, his righteous status would be lost instantly.

His orthodox status was inherited from Emperor Zhuangzong Zhao Ji. If this father was replaced and the surname Zhao was replaced by Wanyan, then he would no longer be the son of the late emperor Zhuangzong... If he was not Zhao Ji's son, then Zhao Kai would be Zhao Ji's eldest son. Zhao Ji's legitimate son was Zhao Huan, and if the legitimate son recognized the wild father, it would be gone. Naturally, the eldest son of the common man ascended the throne.

At that time, Zhao Kai would not have to send troops to fight, so that King Zhao Shuxiang of Xiangyang could just lead three to five thousand people to capture Jinling City!

Therefore, Zhao Kai was not defeated, and Zhao Huan must not recognize his father or submit to the Great Jin Dynasty.

However, Xiao Zhonggong did not insist on "submission" and "recognizing his father", and took a step back, "The Yellow River is the boundary and is brothers for each other."

Therefore, Yuwen Xuzhong and Qin Hui had to take Xiao Zhonggong back to Jinling City to meet Zhao Huan.

There are two Jinling City that appeared in front of Xiao Zhonggong, oh, to be precise, one and a half!

One is the capital of the original Southern Tang Dynasty, which was later Jiangning Prefecture. Now Zhao Huan and the entire Jinling court are temporarily crowded in this narrow Jiangning Prefecture. The original Jiangning Prefecture Office was changed to a temporary palace by Zhao Huan.

Another half is Yingtianfucheng, which is under construction. It is located north of Jiangningfucheng. It is built on the Yangtze River, the Qinhuai River estuary, and the Lime Mountain (Mufu Mountain). The project is very large, and it has used more than 100,000 people to build. After several months of construction, it has now been outlined. The rammed earth part of the 12-mile-long city wall from the Qinhuai River estuary to the western foot of Shili Mountain has been completed. Now it is "brick-covered", that is, a layer of hard blue bricks are wrapped outside the thick rammed earth wall.

This section of the city wall is built on the edge of the Yangtze River. Below the city wall are the river embankments and docks, and the attacking enemies have nowhere to unfold. You can rest assured that any earth wall can be built. The Song people actually built brick walls at all costs... It is conceivable how strong the defense of this new Yingtian Prefecture City is!

But is such a strong castle really used to resist the Jin Kingdom, which had no intention of expedition and had not even opened a naval army?

Yuwen Xuzhong, Qin Hui and Xiao Zhonggong were riding a watercraft official boat. When there was no wind or against the wind, you could not use oars or oars, but use two human watercraft installed on both sides of the ship's side to drive. Although the speed of this watercraft was not fast, it was very stable and flexible, and could go anywhere. After turning around outside the river wall of Yingtian Prefecture, you drove into the Qinhuai River.

It was extremely busy within the mouth of the Qinhuai River. Before long, you could see the docks, shops, and warehouses on both sides of the river bank lined up. The river was filled with cargo ships, most of which were loaded with water wheels, and they were loaded. They lined up on the river surface outside the docks, waiting to load and unload the goods.

The water ship was sailing on the Qinhuai River for nearly an hour before entering Jiangning Prefecture from a water gate. Jiangning Prefecture was originally the leading city, but now it has squeezed into 200,000 to 300,000 northern refugees, which is even more noisy and a little painful for Xiao Zhonggong.

Just when he was surprised by the crowding and prosperity of Jiangning City, the water ship he was riding was parked at the edge of a dock outside the inn.

After Yuwen Xuzhong and Qin Hui arranged the envoy of the Great Jin Kingdom, they went to the temporary palace in the city to report to Zhao Huan.

After Zhao Huan learned about the peace conditions of the Jin people, he immediately convened a court meeting in Chongzheng Hall.

.........

"The official family...The Jin thief seems to have been flooded by Prince Yun with big water, and the loss is quite large. This is our opportunity!"

Yuwen Xuzhong first reported the "fake news" he found out from Xiao Zhonggong, and then took the opportunity to make suggestions.

"The Jin soldiers who retreated across the Huaihe River must be very difficult. We might as well make an appointment with the peace and secretly mobilize the troops, advance on land and water, and attack Anfeng. We will definitely win a great victory and avenge the late Emperor Zhuangzong!"

"This..." Zhao Huan was also a little moved. If he could avenge his father, his orthodox status would be reliable!

But the problem is... no matter how difficult it is for the Golden Thieves, they are still Golden Thieves!

Now that Zhao Huan's new recruits have not been trained, there are only 80,000 people on hand, and they are still scattered everywhere. It is already the best place to concentrate 30,000 troops to attack.

Is this enough number of people?

"No!"

Qin Hui has already raised an objection, "Officials should not forget the lesson of joining Jin and attacking Liao! Liao may not be able to attack, and Jin is not impossible... But our dynasty should not be lucky. If we do not train our elite troops well, we will expect the enemy to be weak and unprepared. This is like gambling in the country. Once we bet wrong, we will be in danger of destruction!"

Yes, yes... Zhao Huan's little opportunistic thoughts were immediately put away.

"What Qin Qing said is very true," Zhao Huan raised his voice slightly, and his tone seemed firm. "I think that in the use of military forces, we must not be lucky. The court should do great things with great things. It is definitely not a gentleman or a benevolent king. I must first train 200,000 new soldiers, and save tens of millions of soldiers and millions of stones of military food. After the troops are enough, the salary is enough, and the food is enough, and then the army is good at fighting the Central Plains, and you will naturally win!"

"Officials," Yuwen Xu said, "The Jin thieves are enemies of our dynasty. It would be fine if the court could not send troops to kill them all, and they would never discuss peace with them. This would only cause the hearts of the heroes of Jiangdong!"

Qin Hui immediately refuted: "If you don't have peace with it, will you let the two Huaihe Rivers fall into war? In the fertile land of the two Huai Rivers, the court needs to train troops and gather wages. The two Huai Rivers cannot be in chaos, and they cannot be robbed by the Jin thieves every year!"

"Official family," said Zhang Suo, the Tongzhi Privy Council, to come out to the class, "Although Qin Hui said something makes sense, the great righteousness must not be lost... Otherwise, if the Jin soldiers do not come, the Prince of Yun may not not come!"

That's right. Although I didn't recognize my wild father, it's wrong to call my brother and brother to the enemy who killed my father!

If Zhao Kai sent troops in the name of attacking the unfilial son Zhao Huan, he would be afraid that the royal aura of Jinling would be depressed!

"Of course I won't make peace with the Jin thief!" Zhao Huan frowned deeply.

Being together is not, not being together is not...what should be done?

"Officials, I have a way."

The one who could do it was Zhang Bangchang, who had been the priest for a while before. However, he had long seen that Zhao Huan was a member of Geng Nanzhong, so he resigned the priest in the name of focusing on building mountain tombs for the late emperor and recommended Geng Nanzhong as his later post.

Now that the matter of Zhuangzong Mountain Mausoleum has been completed, Geng Nanzhong has repaid his favor and has recommended him as the Shaozai. Although he has been demoted to one level, he has been appointed as the prime minister for the second time. Moreover, the Dazai last time was a "consolation prime minister", and this time the Shaozai is the real prime minister.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhang Bangchang, who had a solution and asked, "What's the solution for Shaozai? Come on!"

"Officials, it's hard to get a good match... Can we fight against the Jin thieves?" Zhang Bangchang first asked himself, and then replied, "Obviously, it's not possible! I believe that the heroes of Jiangdong would not think that the court has the strength to fight against the Jin thieves. So I think we can establish a ten-year non-war agreement with the Jin thieves!"

"A ten-year agreement without fighting?" Zhao Huan said as he thought: Ten years are too short, right?

Geng Nanzhong came out of the class and said: "Officials, I think it's best not to fight for ten years... It's not too long, not short! It's reasonable in all aspects, and it's also conducive to urging the new army soldiers to practice!"

This is equivalent to a ten-year reprieve of death!

If you don’t practice well, once ten years arrive, you will have to go to the battlefield and die!

"But can the Jin people agree?" Zhao Huan whispered, "It's only ten years..."

"Yes!" Qin Hui could almost agree for Wanyan Zonghan, "The Jin thieves may not have the intention to annex the Southeast... Ten years of not fighting means not fighting with Your Majesty, not fighting with Prince Yun! The problem now is just how Prince Yun will deal with it?"

The most dangerous one is indeed Zhao Kai! Zhao Huanxin said: Although the Jin thief is cruel, he can still tolerate me for ten years. But what about Sanlang? Can he tolerate me for ten years?

Thinking of this, a genius solution suddenly burst out in Zhao Huan's mind!

"I have it!" Zhao Huan slapped his thighs, and then suddenly started coughing loudly!

"Official family, you are..."

"Official family, have you caught a cold?"

"Officials, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor!"

When Zhao Huan heard that Zhao Huan had coughed, everyone became nervous. Zhao Huan waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "I have always been weak and sick, and the Prince of Daning (Zhao Chen) is also weak and sick, and it seems that it is difficult to inherit the throne, so I was thinking about whether I could use the method of my brother to end up with... to establish the crown brother!"
