"High Commander, from now on, the entire frontline command post will be guarded by your own soldiers. No one, whether civil or military, is allowed to leave the frontline command post before His Royal Highness arrives in Bianliang!"
When it comes to who here least hopes for an unexpected change in the throne, the first one is definitely the Gao family.
When Han Jiang saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was silent for a long time, he simply lost his temper. There was no other way. What the princes did was right. Before His Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Bianliang, he had to ensure that the news was not leaked.
"promise!"
After hearing Han Jiang's instructions, Gao Zunyu instantly understood the meaning.
Everyone understood it. Even the ancestors of Zhe and the Zhe family who listened to the instructions but not the announcement did not dare to have any objections to Han Jiang's arrangements at this time.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in grief... He thinks so. At this time, Zhao Xi's mind is indeed filled with every detail of being with his father these years.
"In the name of the frontline headquarters, call all the new troops to assemble in Qinzhou quickly. No one is allowed to delay! This matter will be executed by Commander Cao!"
The next person whom His Royal Highness is most considerate to is probably Cao Lin.
At this time, Zhao Xi had heard about Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi's arrangements.
But he didn't say anything. Stopped it? Even he would take measures like this. Agree? He didn't want people to think he was being petty.
"The entire security battalion will resume their duties from now on and will be fully responsible for the protection of His Royal Highness. This matter will be led by the high command."
"Everyone, this happened suddenly. Please bear with me if I have offended Jiang! This matter is not only a matter for Qinzhou, but also a matter for the entire Song Dynasty."
"Under such circumstances, please don't make any extraneous matters. If there are any changes, orders will be issued in the name of the frontline headquarters. If necessary, the escort battalion can implement battlefield regulations!"
"Commander Di, at this time, you are required to take charge of the overall situation of the New Army, with the guidance and cooperation of the escort battalion. At this time, we must ensure the unity of the New Army and coordinate the rail transportation lines to ensure that on the day of the New Army's assembly, all the New Army will escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
, arrive at Bianliang as quickly as possible.”
Han Jiang, Lu Gongbi, Wang Su, Yu Jing, they and their families are completely related to the fate of His Highness the Crown Prince.
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in grief, so they quickly made arrangements based on your words.
Regardless of whether it is the most appropriate approach, this is all they can do.
I just hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can recover as soon as possible... At this time, grief is not the most important thing. How to deal with his absence in Bianliang is the top priority.
The rewards from the imperial court follow the procedures for receiving armaments. Qinzhou has been very familiar with them in the past few months, and there are no surprises.
All the soldiers fighting on the front line have already heard about the reward from the imperial court. Even the farthest border villages have heard about it.
Although I don't quite understand the New Army's return to Qinzhou, considering the issue of rewards, most people consider it to be related to rewards, and not many people pay attention to it.
It's just that in Qinzhou, all the generals above the rank of commander have always stayed in the Qinzhou government office... This is the only puzzling point.
Zhao Xi's grief is real, but it's not to the point where she can't see anyone anymore.
But Han Jiang kept explaining that His Highness the Crown Prince has not yet recovered...
It was only when they saw that there was nothing unusual about the guards and instructors coming in and out, as well as the people of the Gao family and the Cao family, that the generals of the Western Army felt a little more at ease.
To be honest, no one can feel at ease when they are dominated by civil servants and locked up like this with their bare hands.
Fortunately, there is Di Qing...
Di Qing stayed on the tower in Qinzhou all day long, and never left the tower even to rest.
What he does every day is to count the number of new troops returning to Qinzhou, then arrange the camps and dispatch the troops in each capital to be stationed and on duty.
He knew that if he was not careful at this time, not only would he, Di Qing, be put to death, but the country might also be in chaos.
He would discuss every matter with the instructors of the guard camp, even down to the smallest details.
Zhao Xi wanted to get up, but he also had the strength to get up. Just to make Han Jiang's words true, he had to lie on the bed like this, and also reduced his food intake, even eating gruel for a day.
"Master Fu, there is no need for this..."
"Your Highness, grief is the right thing to do, but for the generals of the Western Army, nothing your Highness can do is appropriate. But I, Han Jiang, don't care."
"Stay a little longer, Your Highness. When the new army is assembled, it doesn't matter what happens to Your Highness. Zihua's arrangement makes sense."
Only Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi were left, and Zhao Xi really didn't want to pretend anymore.
The point is, the feeling of being hungry is too uncomfortable.
"There is no need to assemble the new army. It is more useful to leave them in the border village. I just need to go back with the escort battalion."
Zhao Xi really didn't think that the current state of the country still threatened his succession to the throne.
No need to make such a fuss.
"Your Highness, the matter of palace curtains is not something that we and other foreign ministers can criticize. But Jiang thinks that when His Highness returns to Bianliang this time, the first thing he will do after arriving in Bianliang is to replace the front department with the new army. Secondly,
The guards of the inner garden are all under the responsibility of the guard battalion, and even the Imperial City Secretary Bingjing cannot be fully trusted."
"At the same time, the defense of Gongfang City must not be relaxed at all. When His Highness returns to the court, Di Qing can be left with the Western Army, and the Western Army and the New Army will cooperate to ensure that the track from Bianliang to Qinzhou is smooth..."
I feel like what Han Jiang said was very serious.
Zhao Xi still felt that it was a bit of a fuss. Whether it was the ministers of the court, the people, or the soldiers of the country, Zhao Xi thought that he still had a considerable reputation.
At this time, no one should be able to stop him from inheriting the throne.
"Your Highness, an accident can change everything! Your Highness has just made friends with the courtiers since the Southern Expedition. In more than ten years, he has already formed a power that almost controls the court, not to mention decades of management?"
This is already very clear, so I just need to say it clearly.
If Han Jiang hadn't mentioned it, Zhao Xi would have forgotten about it.
Since the death of his cousin, more than a dozen sons have become a mess because of the succession to the throne. Even if there is any influence, it should be divided into pieces.
Thinking about it on the other hand, just like I am pretending to be in pain and wishing to die, who knows if the princes of the Runan Palace are also giving people a false impression?
Zhao Xi has not paid attention to them at all these years...
"Everyone... something happened suddenly. Our plan to defeat the Western bandits has to be postponed indefinitely..."
If dad recovers from his illness and is fine, if he is still ill like this, he may be in trouble, but he cannot start a war.
Zhao Xi spoke vaguely, but everyone knew what he meant.
"Everyone has been troubled these days. What Mr. Han has done is a last resort. It is a matter of great importance. Please bear with me."
"Today we set out at dawn. You can go to the various garrison places on your own. If there is nothing going on at the border, you can also stay in Qinzhou for a while and let Mr. Han entertain you. This can also be considered as an apology."
Zhao Xi didn't say that he still needed everyone to stay in Qinzhou until he returned to Bianliang and the imperial court clearly sent a report to inform the world that the emperor was sick, and then he could leave.
Just a suggestion…
"Commander Di, the matter of the Western Expedition has not been completely concluded. The frontline headquarters has not been withdrawn. Commander Di still needs to stay behind to deal with the remaining matters. Thank you!"
Before Zhao Xi left, he summoned all the generals above the rank of commander for the last time and gave an explanation that seemed to be an explanation but also contained profound meaning.
