The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 544
"Pass me an order that all the generals participating in this battle put down their affairs and return to Beijing with me to return to their orders. After the rewards are over, they will continue to guard the frontier fortress."

After Zhao Gou returned to Youzhou, he immediately sent an order to all the guards from all the states to go to the capital.As for the generals who are farther away, they should set off immediately first, and wait for the army to set off together after arriving in the capital; if the generals are closer, they will set off with Zhao Gou.

They were appointed by Zhao Gou to various prefectures as guards to guard one side; now, Zhao Gou sent an order for them to return to Beijing to return to their orders.Zhao Gou's military order is comparable to the emperor's imperial edict, and even more effective than the imperial edict. Even the old commanders such as Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze obeyed.

Those generals who have been following Zhao Gou in the South and North Wars have always followed Zhao Gou's lead.

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were captured by Zhao Gou with all the soldiers. It can be said that Zhao Gou's prestige in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun is unmatched, and even the emperor who is far away in the capital cannot be compared.After Zhao Gou gave the order, everyone arranged things non-stop, and then set off.

Since Zhao Gou cured the old problem of Wanyan Aguda, he believed that even if the general was not there, the Jin soldiers would not attack the border of the Song Dynasty rashly.Because of this, Zhao Gou decided to let them return to Beijing together to confer titles. This was also arranged by Zhao Gou in advance and he was fully prepared.

"He's finally coming back!..."

Prince Zhao Huan, who was far away in the East Palace of the capital, already knew that the emperor had issued an imperial decree for Zhao Gou to lead the generals back to Beijing to return to their orders.Originally, Zhao Huan was almost deposed because of an incident, but later Song Huizong was banned for three months and asked him to reflect in the mansion.Now, Zhao Huan has re-entered the court, which ignited his ambition to become emperor again.

As long as the crown prince is not deposed for a day, then Zhao Huan has a chance to inherit the throne.Even if he re-entered the court and entered the house this time, Zhao Huan couldn't make much trouble.In the last confrontation with Zhao Gou, he was completely defeated and lost the power to rely on.

Now Zhao Heng is like a lonely family, unable to do anything, and also unable to do anything.Officials in various departments in the court respect him at a respectful distance, no one is willing to work with him, let alone accept his solicitation during this special period.

Zhao Gou overthrew Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others who were in the middle of the court, and even the power of the prince fell apart under his stirring, and collapsed instantly.It can be said that Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan are more afraid of Zhao Gou.Because Zhao Gou is not only the generalissimo of Pingliao, but also the commander-in-chief of the [-] army, in charge of military power, and has his own influence in the court.

Therefore, Zhao Gou is far away from the court, in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and what happens in the court cannot escape his eye.Among them, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment stood firmly by Zhao Gou's side, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials also stood in line, willing to help Zhao Gou and assist Zhao Gou.

Song Huizong turned a blind eye to these things, which made everyone see Zhao Gou's hope, and some officials even broke their heads and wanted to make connections.However, Zhao Gou completely ignored it.In addition, Prince Zhao Huan has lost power, and even the emperor doesn't care about him.

Living above the temple, how could they choose to follow Prince Zhao Huan at this time, unless they really disliked being an official for too long and wanted to become idle clouds and wild cranes.Nowadays, most of the court halls submit to Zhao Gou's command and become Zhao Gou's forces.

Zhao Gou himself didn't know about these things, and with the support of Zhong Shidao, Zong Ze and other veterans, although Zhao Gou did not have the name of a prince, he had the power of a prince, with one person under ten thousand.Whenever thinking of this matter, Prince Zhao Huan's face was solemn, and his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.

Zhao Huan wished that Zhao Gou would lose in Yanyun Sixteen States, and even more wished that he would die in battle.Even though Zhao Gou is his own younger brother, he is still an enemy in his eyes.Until Song Huizong passed the imperial decree to let Zhao Gou and others return to Beijing to return to their orders, Zhao Huan had mixed feelings and was helpless.

"Ninth brother, now you have power over the government and the public, with one person under ten thousand people, even I, the prince, can't be compared." Prince Zhao Huan said with a cold smile, "But the higher you stand, the harder you fall. When you fall At that time, I am afraid that even I am not as good as it!"

"Don't think that father looks at you differently, it's because you still have value. When your value is gone, let's see what capital you have to be proud of. My dear ninth brother, at that time you knew my pain now, Let's wait and see!"

Zhao Gou had already returned to the imperial court, and Song Huizong was overjoyed when he got the news, and immediately passed down an imperial decree to decorate all the streets and alleys of Bianjing City.In addition, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty passed down an order that when Zhao Gou returned to Beijing, all the officials would welcome him, and he went out of the city to welcome Zhao Gou's triumphant return.

Those officials who were in the same camp as Zhao Gou were elated, those who hated Zhao Gou were very angry, and those who were neutral were also very happy.After all, Zhao Gou regained Yanyun sixteen prefectures. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, he has won a battle that has never been won, and his name will remain in history.

"Brother Huang, how do you plan to reward Lao Jiu?" Zhao Si was also very happy, and also wanted to know how Song Huizong would reward him.

Song Huizong said with a smile: "I have already known about the matter of awarding rewards."

No matter how Zhao Si asked, Song Huizong just didn't let go, which made Zhao Si even more curious.In the end, seeing that Song Huizong did not let go, Zhao Si gave up.

Song Huizong recalled the scene of Zhao Gou's birth, and he couldn't believe it in his mind.Even if it is to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, this is simply a matter of the Arabian Nights, but it has already happened.Song Huizong's wish was fulfilled by Zhao Gou. He was really happy in his heart, and he couldn't help drinking a few more drinks.

Zhao Gou was different from a young age, but they did not expect this son to be so powerful, far exceeding their expectations.In addition, Zhao Gou negotiated with the Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Dajin Kingdom on behalf of the Song Dynasty. time.

No matter which one, look at things that have never happened in the entire Song Dynasty, and have never thought about it.Even Song Huizong didn't dare to say that he could be so calm and let the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty gain the upper hand in the negotiations. These Zhao Gou have done it, and he has done what the emperor failed to do.

Zhao Gou led the army to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which is a great achievement.

Song Huizong made arrangements to welcome Zhao Gou, and at the same time issued a decree to amnesty the world.All criminals who are not capital crimes will have their sentences reduced, and those who are less serious will be released from prison directly.In addition, Song Huizong took out silver manuscripts from the treasury to reward the three armies, those soldiers who had not yet returned to Beijing but still stood firm at the border.

Da Song achieved such a great victory, it is really a celebration of the whole world.Moreover, Zhao Gou's prestige is even greater, even ordinary people know it, even the people in the mountains know Zhao Gou and his deeds.Because Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty passed the decree to post the deeds of Zhao Gou's recovery of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun on the imperial list, and spread it throughout the Song Dynasty, the whole country was jubilant.
