Chapter 418: The love between father and son, Zhao Shen decides
Seeing Zhao Shen who was overjoyed, Shi Hao was speechless for a moment.
You are an emperor, shouldn't you be more prudent?
As for why you are so happy because of the gossips of some ministers?
In fact, this is no wonder Zhang Jun! First of all, Zhao Shen is indeed very concerned about Shen Tang.
From the beginning, when he was forced by the Lord He faction to select the top pick, this name was deeply imprinted in Zhao Shen's mind.
However, at that time, Zhao Shen was extremely disgusted and repelled by Shen Tang.
But as he came into contact with Shen Tang, Zhao Shen suddenly discovered that this kid turned out to be a genius.
Moreover, it seemed that I had misunderstood him. Not only was he not a member of the peace party, but he was close to Zhang Jun and others.
This positive and negative situation made Zhao Shen extremely curious about Shen Tang.
Then, through the mouths of Shi Hao and Zhang Jun, he discovered that Shen Tang was not only excellent in literary talent, but also accomplished something on the battlefield, which earned him praise from people like Zhang Jun.
Then when he went on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin, through Shen Tang, Zhao Shen severely deceived the Lord and the faction.
The Zhuhe faction originally thought that they were sending "one of their own people", but Zhao Shen realized that their own people were indeed their own people, but there was a question mark as to whose own people they were.
Sure enough, something happened just as the mission left the border.
Zhao Shen knew full well that where the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom would be, it was definitely Zhang Jun who was responsible.
However, this matter was also in line with Zhao Shen's wishes, and Zhang Jun was very obedient in passing his information into Zhao Shen's hands.
Therefore, Zhao Shen never thought about pursuing this matter.
As for the outcome of this peace negotiation, it definitely exceeded Zhao Shen's imagination.
Originally, according to his thinking, this time the Jin Kingdom suffered a lot of losses, and the lions would definitely open their mouths. He didn't know what price he had to pay to make the peace talks successful.
However, Shen Tang's wonderful performance made him dazzle! Compensation?
No need! Cut the land?
No need! The three-piece set that was a sure thing in the peace talks in the past did not even appear in the peace talks.
Hmm...that's not right either. It happened, but it was the other way around.
The Song Dynasty, which has always been the exporter, turned out to be the harvester this time.
To be honest, when Zhao Shen first got the news, he almost thought Shen Tang and others were deceiving him.
It wasn't until the envoy returned in an upright manner, bringing with them the credentials of the Kingdom of Jin, that his hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.
After receiving the credentials for the peace talks, he first got very drunk.
This is definitely a rare situation for the emperor of a country.
Then, he did something else that he had thought about for a long time but never dared or had the chance to do.
That is to take this certificate of credence and go to see the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou again.
When he presented his credentials to Zhao Gou, and then when Zhao Gou showed a complicated and horrified look on his face, for some reason, his mind suddenly became clear.
Afterwards, he solemnly knelt in front of Zhao Gou and said plainly: "Father, I will definitely uphold my father's aspirations and prosper the Song Dynasty, and slowly get back everything we have lost."
The relationship between this father and son is really complicated!
The relationship between Zhao Shen and Zhao Gou is also extremely complicated.
Are you grateful?
Of course there is.
If it weren't for Zhao Gou, he would probably be just an idle prince at best, and would never ascend to the throne.
Do you hold a grudge?
Of course there is!
The two are not biological father and son, and are even further apart than uncles! Therefore, the inheritance of the throne between the two is far from as peaceful as outsiders see. Just take a look at the year before Zhao Shen came to power. , the changes in the court hall are enough to see the waves.
But when this certificate of credence arrived, just like the son who had strengthened his clan and conquered his ancestor, the hatred he had felt had long since disappeared, replaced by understanding and loyalty to Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou had all kinds of bad things and everything was wrong, but in the end when his country was ruined and his family was destroyed, he gave the Song Dynasty's inheritance a continuation and finally gave him a chance.
Therefore, although Zhao Shen did not tell anyone about this matter, he was somewhat grateful to Shen Tang in his heart.
After all, this extremely glorious thing was brought to him by Shen Tang.
No matter how you say it, Shen Tang, the number one scholar, was personally appointed by him, and Shen Tang, the envoy, was handled by him.
Therefore, it can be regarded as a shared honor and disgrace! It is no exaggeration to say that although Shen Tang was the number one scholar in the new subject, in Zhao Shen's heart, he was slightly closer to him than veterans like Shi Hao.
In addition, Zhao Shen entered the palace at the age of six. Although he dare not say that he was shocked every step of the way, he has always been cautious and even a little repressed! After all, as long as there is a slight oversight, the throne will be missed! And as he ascends to the throne, in As his power gradually increased, and now he is showing signs of resurgence, his temperament that he had suppressed for decades has finally been relieved.
This is why he is so relaxed when faced with interesting things like Shen Tang.
Including the rumor that the so-called Wenquxing descended to earth, Zhao Shen may not have thought too much about it.
Because this also means that he is the right one.
The world of Zhao and Song Dynasties was not right, so the title of official family came into being, which has been passed down to this day, although these things have passed away.
Being able to make his throne more secure and more certain is naturally what Zhao Shen wishes for.
"Shi Aiqing, it seems that if there is an opportunity in the future, I should send our Shen Zhuangyuan to the Kingdom of Jin a few more times.
In my opinion, he is the nemesis of the Kingdom of Jin.
You see, this time not only did he achieve great success, but he even attracted the princess to come to our Song Dynasty.
If it happens again a few more times, then Wan Yanyong may have to come to Lin'an to talk to me for reason, hahaha..."
After a long while, Zhao Shen closed the letter.
"This Golden Emperor thought he had posed a problem for me, but how could he know my big heart?
How can I not reward those who have made great achievements?"
He paced and thought for a moment, then suddenly said to Shi Hao: "Ai Qing, tell Zhang Jun, since the Jin Kingdom can send an army of 100,000 people, why can't we, as a hero of the Song Dynasty, welcome us with an army of 100,000 people?
In addition, when our Shen Zhuangyuan arrives in Sizhou, tell them that I will drive to Sizhou and personally welcome our great hero back."
"Your Majesty must not..."
When Shi Hao heard this, he couldn't help being extremely shocked! Is this emperor crazy?
The emperor's arrival is such a big deal, how can it be decided in such a hasty manner?
Will there be no one in the court to refute?
Furthermore, although Sizhou is now controlled by the Song Dynasty, it is still a border land. If something goes wrong, who can bear such a huge responsibility?
