However, it was said that during the Great Battle of Chang'an, hundreds of thousands of people died on the Western Front. When the news reached the capital, it felt like the sky was falling and the earth was falling.

When the Wushu soldiers came to Bianjing again, the Jin people launched the third attack on the Song Dynasty. The iron cavalry and heavy armor came back, which seemed to crush the last hope of the entire Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for the Zhao Guan family in Tokyo, the whole of Tokyo would have been in chaos like the previous two times.

However, since Zhao Guan's imperial commander personally marched and crossed the Yellow River, rumors began to spread again, providing the soil for Zhao Ji's restoration.

I don’t know who instigated the rumor, but it struck a chord with a group of old bureaucrats and aristocrats in Tokyo.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Ji left Yanfu Palace and returned to Wende Palace to dominate the world.

He also dismissed Zhao Ding and kicked out Li Guang. Gao Qiu hid at home and pretended to be sick, and Zhao Gou immediately huddled up at home.

I heard that even Qin Hui handed over his official seal.

Wang Zongli was almost dragged out and hung up as a street lamp.

The sudden change of weather caught most people by surprise.

But the situation immediately changed again.

From the moment the troops entered Tokyo, the "Shangdang victory" along the way was like the spring breeze after the cold winter.

"A great victory for Shangdang! The emperor's imperial guards defeated the gold thieves and beheaded 50,000 people! They captured 30,000 thieves!" The messenger rode quickly toward the palace. Along the way, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Everywhere he went, he attracted countless people's attention.

"what did he say!"

"He said the Praetorian Guard beheaded fifty thousand people!"

"He said the king's division was victorious!"

"He said we won!"

"..."

The messenger ran wildly in excitement, and everyone on the street unanimously made way for him.

"We won!" someone shouted loudly, instantly detonating the people around him.

Cheers and joy spread among the crowd.

Even the people who were drinking in the tavern on the roadside rushed out and pricked up their ears when they heard it.

Zhao Ding, who had just walked out of the political hall and was about to go home and pack his things, heard the news and burst into tears with excitement when he was expelled from Tokyo.

Only they, those close to the emperor, truly know how difficult it is to win this war.

The Jin army was heading south like a flash flood and a tsunami. The Song Dynasty had no time to prepare, and everything seemed so hasty.

All qualified armors in the arsenal were emptied out, even those made by craftsmen overnight.

All usable weapons were transported to the front line.

The Imperial Guard was the last army of the emperor that could go on the battlefield.

Order in Tokyo is as usual, and people can still chat in the tavern, but they don't know that this time the Song Dynasty is really fighting against the odds!

Even the emperor personally led the expedition. In order to hold back the Jin army, he would rather engage in a war of attrition and consume the emperor's imperial guard brigade.

This is a decisive battle!

Although he, Zhao Ding, is not on the front line, he has not had a good night's sleep for hundreds of nights since last year.

Astronomical financial pressure and logistical pressure weighed on the political hall like Mount Tai.

When a person finally knows the results after putting in countless hard work, the feeling cannot be described in words.

He walked home easily and happily asked his family to pack their things.

Although he is no longer the prime minister, so what?

Isn't being a prime minister just to assist the king in bringing peace to the world?

Of course, Zhao Ding left and a new prime minister took office.

who?

Zhao Huan’s former teacher, Geng Nanzhong.

Geng Nanzhong has been dormant at home since he was forced to step down in the first year of Jingkang's reign due to his peace proposal, which triggered public outrage in Tokyo.

This time I finally got the chance to take over again.

Ironically, he was Zhao Huan's teacher and should be Zhao Huan's loyal supporter.

But Zhao Ning's subsequent series of operations basically ignored this shameless capitulation faction.

Geng Nanzhong was in high spirits. He had just been sitting in the political hall when he received the news of Shangdang's victory.

He jumped up from his chair: "Good news... good news..."

Geng Nanzhong immediately rushed to Wende Hall with the good news.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

When Zhao Ji heard the good news, he jumped up from his chair.

"What! Shangdang's victory! What does it mean?"

"Your Majesty, he won... No, Zhao Huan won..."

Zhao Ji said with a gloomy look: "You mean, that traitor Yujia personally conquered... and won?"

"yes!"

Zhao Ji was stunned, as if he had lost his soul for an instant, and sat down on the chair: "What should we do now..."

He seemed to remember something again and said immediately: "Quick! Go and call King Yun! Go quickly!"

Zhao Kai was taking over the affairs of the Palace Department and the Imperial City Department. He hurried over. When he read the good news, his face was filled with uncertainty.

Zhao Ji said with a bitter face: "What should I do?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry yet. This victory report says that Wang Shi won, but it doesn't say that Zhao Huan is still alive!"

"you mean?"

"What I mean is that the good news came just after Your Majesty returned to the throne. This is because His Majesty's virtue has moved God. I feel that His Majesty should immediately grant amnesty to the world. Those who have been sent to Zhao Huan should be pardoned!"

Zhao Ji was still worried and said: "Third brother, if Zhao Huan is not dead..."

"Even if you are not dead, now the rice is cooked and the people are supporting you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Kai had an expression of "I'm so smart and wise" and continued: "Furthermore, I just found out that the Jin Army on the Eastern Front has penetrated deep into Huainan. If Your Majesty sends envoys there now to negotiate peace with the Jin Army in Huainan,

Promise to cede Hebei East Road, Jingdong East Road, Jingdong East Road, and Hebei Road to the Jin Army. The Jin Army will definitely withdraw its troops and will also support Your Majesty!"

"With the support of the Jin Army, what can Zhao Huan do even if he has three heads and six arms?"

When Zhao Ji heard this, he suddenly seemed to see hope.

yes!

Even if Zhao Huan is not dead, so what!

Even if Shangdang won the first battle, it would only be a victory. The Jin army was moving south on a large scale this time, and it was not possible to turn the situation around with just one victory.

At this time, of course we have to rely on the Jin Army to deal with the traitor!

As long as we reach an agreement with the Jin army, we guarantee that Zhao Huan will not come back!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji immediately sent people to Huainan to find Wanyan Zongfu, and carefully listed the terms of compensation for ceding land, preparing for a dramatic reversal of the situation.

At this time, Zhao Ning did not know that a coup had taken place in Tokyo.

Of course, Zhao Ning must have known that Zhao Ji would cause trouble after he came out.

As long as Zhao Ji is still alive, those clan members who were forced to jump up and down by Zhao Gou will definitely take the opportunity to rise up.

Think about it, hundreds of thousands of people died in the war in Shaanxi, and the average pension for each person was 30 guan. Just the pension was 9 million guan!

The Guards also lost so many people in the battle, as well as those who died on the Eastern Front.

It also includes disasters in Hedong and Hebei.

As well as post-war land reform, industrial restructuring, special economic zones, weapons manufacturing, supply chain construction and many other new national policies.

They all require money!

And urgent need!

At this time, what can I do?

It's not like giving the clan members a chance to show off.

As long as the clan members perform well, I can have another wave of quick income to meet emergencies.

When Zhao Ji sent people to find Wanyan Zongfu in a hurry, the news of Shangdang's victory was also sent to Zongze of Hebei Province and to Li Gang.

What I mean is that the situation on Hedong Road has greatly eased now, so you can just act cheaply.

Wanyan Zonghan received the withdrawal order from Wanyan Gao at the end of January, and Wanyan Zongfu only received the withdrawal order at the end of February.

Zhao Ji didn't know that Wanyan Zongfu was already preparing to withdraw his troops.

Wanyan Zongfu didn't know that Zong Han had been severely beaten, or that Wu Shu had retreated to Zhending Mansion.

Of course, not knowing that Li Gang was in Cangzhou, the Yongjing Army quickly built a defense line to block the Jin Army's retreat.

Little did they know that a young man named Yue Fei was having a military parade in Fucheng and was preparing for a big fight.
Chapter completed!
