In September of the eighth year of Shaoxing, not only the officials, but also the people of Lin'an got up very early on this day. This was the day when Liu Chan officially appointed Zhao Yuan as the crown prince. Since Zhao Jiukang ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty finally had a
The first prince.
Everyone knows that this is a symbol that life is about to enter stability. Everyone knows that the Song Dynasty will finally no longer have major turmoil. With the crown prince, everyone knows that the Song Dynasty finally has a future.
The most important thing is that Zhao Yuan is a descendant of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, not Taizong Zhao Guangyi. The humiliation that the Song Dynasty has suffered for hundreds of years has not only been imposed on the people, but also on the royal family itself. The people of the Song Dynasty felt very sorry for Taizong.
The descendants have lost hope. In this case, it is better to let the descendants of Taizu ascend the throne. After all, Taizu can really fight.
The more the Song Dynasty fails in its foreign wars today, the more the people miss Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
In fact, even if Zhao Gou had a son, it would be difficult for the throne to fall on his biological son. After Bianliang was conquered, the people of the Song Dynasty lost hope in the royal family. They had experienced the incompetence of the royal family for a hundred years and felt that as long as the throne was
Those sitting there are still descendants of Zhao Guangyi, so there is no hope for the future.
After the Song Dynasty moved south, people's expectations for Taizu's descendants reached their peak, believing that only by handing over imperial power to Taizu's lineage could the country have a chance to revitalize.
Zhao Gou didn't understand the wishes of the people below him, and he wanted to pass the throne to his descendants. However, public opinion cannot be violated, let alone God's will. So when Zhao Gou's only heir died, he no longer had any descendants.
.
The carriage welcoming the prince slowly passed through the street. The people standing next to it stared at Zhao Yuan in the carriage. They shouted the title of the prince and shouted their happiness. They hoped that they would no longer suffer from the war in the future, and they hoped that Zhao Yuan would not suffer from the war in the future.
Yuan can bring them hope.
The eyes of the people were full of longing and humility. Zhao Yuan, who was standing on the carriage, saw tears in his eyes. For the first time, he truly understood the importance of himself as a prince, and for the first time he understood what the people wanted.
.
The carriage finally arrived at the palace. Zhao Yuan dismounted and walked slowly towards the Zichen Palace. Step by step, he climbed the steps, as if a heavy burden was weighing on him. Liu Chan's edict to appoint the crown prince finally rang out: "I, Shao Ying, have been destined to be a good steward since ancient times.
When the emperor succeeds to the throne and establishes an empire, he must establish the Yuan Dynasty to control the whole region, and establish the foundation of the country, so that the Mianzong Society has no borders. Since I came to the throne, in all military and state affairs, the personnel must be administrative.
Yi. Xu Yinghong continued, working hard day and night, looking up to the ancestor Molie Zhaofou, entrusting him with the most important trust, carrying it to celebrate, and holding it in Yuanliang. Here is the prince Zhao Yuan, the grandson of the seventh generation of Taizu, who belongs to God's will.
After observing the ceremony, he complied with the public opinion, and sincerely informed the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the state of the country. He conferred a book of treasures and established him as the crown prince. He was enthroned in the East Palace to maintain the lineage for ten thousand years and spread the heart of the world. He announced it to the world and sent envoys to hear about it.
"
After the edict was read out, Zhao Yuan straightened up his back and walked towards the Zichen Palace step by step. Liu Chan and Baiguan looked at the young man walking slowly from far to near, the young man with a tough look on his face, the bright-eyed young man
The young man's expression was full of joy. Zhao Yuan's succession can be said to be the right time, right place, right time, and no one complained about it.
Liu Chan looked happy because he could finally go to war in person. Moreover, after having the crown prince, all political affairs could be left to the crown prince to handle. Anyway, Zhao Yuan is a member of his own family, and he is not stupid. It happened that after he welcomed the queen back, he could go to various places to play.
Play. What, do you think the prince will be unwilling? What kind of prince do you want to be? If the future of the country is not yours, then if you don’t work now, you will have to work in the future. Liu Chan has sufficient reasons to persuade Zhao
Yuan, and has sufficient experience, but it is easy to cultivate the prince's character to be too bold. Liu Chan looked at Zhao Yuan and thought that when persuading the prince in the future, he should be more appropriate, as it is easy to be too tough.
The officials were happy that the crown prince's position was finally confirmed, so that they could place their own forces around the crown prince in the future. Zhao Gou had repeatedly pushed for the crown prince's position before, which not only annoyed Zhao Yuan, but also these ministers.
Annoying. So the ministers were waiting and watching before and did not bet on Zhao Yuan. Now, there is no need to wait and see, just invest directly. The ministers have begun to imagine how to gain a good influence around the prince. Among them
Especially Qin Hui thinks about it the most.
After all the etiquette was completed, Liu Chan helped up the kneeling Zhao Yuan and said to him: "Prince, when you grow up, you will take up the responsibility that I, the Song Dynasty, have built over the past hundred years."
"My son will live up to his father's love." Zhao Yuan bowed deeply to Liu Chan. Along the way, he saw the longing eyes of the people and knew what the people wanted most now. More
The key thing is that he understands that all this stems from Liu Chan naming him the prince.
Therefore, Zhao Yuan was very grateful to Liu Chan. Some of the complaints in the early years disappeared today. His teacher had told him everything about Zhao Xu. Although he did not mind that Zhao Xu continued to remain the prince.
, but he was very satisfied with Liu Chan's actions. Zhao Yuan was already satisfied that an emperor could do this. Therefore, he was truly grateful to Liu Chan at this moment.
"Okay." Liu Chan laughed, turned around and walked back to the dragon throne. He glanced at the ministers and looked at Han Shizhong.
"Good day, have the troops and horses been assembled?"
Han Shizhong came out and said: "To report to your Majesty, a hundred thousand troops have gathered outside Lin'an City. I only need your order to launch the Northern Expedition, to attack the Kingdom of Jin, and to welcome back the Queen."
Liu Chan looked at Qin Hui again: "Prime Minister Qin, how about the food and grass?"
Qin Hui came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have prepared the food and fodder for the 200,000-strong army and it will be shipped to Shunchang soon."
"good."
The troops and horses were not moved, but the food and fodder went first. All things were finally taken care of, and Liu Chan looked excited. He was finally going to set off for the Northern Expedition like Zhuge Liang. Liu Chan thought to himself: Father, your last wish for the Northern Expedition, I finally have the opportunity to do it for you today.
finished.
"Prime Minister Zhao, Prime Minister Qin, the state affairs will be left to you. Prime Minister Zhao is in charge of the court, and Prime Minister Qin is responsible for assisting. If there is any major matter, Prime Minister Zhao can take full responsibility." Liu Chan said affectionately to Zhao Ding and Qin Hui, and neither of them
It is very important to cause trouble in the rear, so there must be a tough leader. Although Zhao Ding is lacking in ability, his attitude of taking the lead in fighting is what Liu Chan desires most now.
"I obey my orders."
Liu Chan looked at Han Shizhong again: "Liangchen, go pack up and get ready to go."
"Yes." Han Shizhong took the order and stepped back.
Liu Chan stepped down from the throne and came to Zhao Yuan, who had just been appointed as the prince. He said slowly: "Study hard with Prime Minister Zhao and Prime Minister Qin. If you don't understand anything, just ask. Don't pretend to know how to do it. In the future, the Song Dynasty will have more
It's up to you. Also, don't forget what I told you. I can rest assured that you are here in Lin'an."
"I obey." Zhao Yuan was a little sad. He had never seen Liu Chan speak to him in such a tone. So, he did a somewhat disrespectful behavior and stared at Liu Chan, wanting Liu Chan to feel his firmness.
manner.
This was the first time Zhao Yuan looked at Liu Chan squarely, but it was also the last time.
The morning court ended like this, and Liu Chan returned directly to the harem. Concubine Wu had been waiting for a long time. Liu Chan smiled and hugged Concubine Wu, and said with a smile: "My dear concubine, I have been waiting for a long time. I will definitely bring the queen back. You
Just prepare in the palace, the Queen will be back soon." Liu Chan talked for a while and saw Concubine Wu's eyes turned red: "Why don't you talk, my dear concubine? Don't worry about me, I have done many conquests myself and am experienced."
Concubine Wu did not answer directly, but said: "Your Majesty, let me change your clothes." Concubine Wu took off Liu Chan's dragon robe and put his armor on, one after another, very carefully.
After all the armors were put on, Liu Chan was given the black iron sword crafted by the Ministry of Industry. Concubine Wu looked at Liu Chan under the sun, a little stunned, but also wanted to cry.
She and Zhao Gou got acquainted during the war. She had always admired Zhao Gou when he was not the emperor, and admired his integrity, strength and bravery when facing the Jin Kingdom. After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, she found that he had changed and became so strange.
She became so timid and incompetent, and became so rat-bellied. Zhao Gou's series of actions after he ascended the throne greatly disappointed her. The queen was kidnapped, and Zhao Gou didn't care. The soldiers of the Northern Expedition were captured.
Zhao Gou didn't care about the massacre by the Jin soldiers. The people in the north were in dire straits, and Zhao Gou didn't care at all. It seemed that everything was inferior to the dragon chair, and that nothing was as important as the imperial power. Just when Wu Guifei was extremely disappointed,
When he was about to collapse, Liu Chan traveled through time, and Zhao Gou was finally gone.
Many courtiers may think that Zhao Gou seems to be a different person, but only Concubine Wu knows that Liu Chan today is the Zhao Gou she first met. The man she likes is an unparalleled hero.
Then Wu Guifei led everyone in the Jingyang Palace to kneel down to Liu Chan: "I wish that your majesty will be victorious in this battle against the Jin Kingdom; I wish that the Northern Expedition will be unstoppable and that the lost land in the north can be recovered in one fell swoop; I wish that your majesty will be victorious in this battle with the Jin Kingdom."
Your Majesty has defeated the Jin Kingdom and returned in triumph together with the Queen. I wish your Majesty a great victory."
"I wish your majesty a great victory."
At this moment, Liu Chan seemed to have entered a historical mission. It seemed that he was going to complete this thing during this time travel. Liu Chan's expression was solemn and he looked north. He did not look at the kneeling Concubine Wu, nor did he think about it.
He didn't say goodbye, but walked directly out of the palace gate and headed to where the army was gathering.
One hundred thousand Song troops had already gathered outside Lin'an City. Their military posture was uniform and their momentum was astonishing. After the Jin State invaded the south, the Song Dynasty's military training improved to a higher level, which is why the Southern Song Dynasty was able to occupy a corner.
Liu Chan climbed onto his BMW excitedly and shouted to the assembled army of 100,000 people: "Go to war."
What no one thought at this time was that this war was different from what the Song Dynasty had experienced, or what it had experienced since ancient times. I wonder what the officials in the court would have done if they could know what was going to happen in advance.
