"Father, what exactly is it that I am so anxious to enter the palace, and I have to bring Agni Ribbon into the palace?" As soon as Zhao Jia got on the carriage, he immediately asked Zhao Yan. Agnis next to him also looked at Zhao Yan, the elder Zhao Yan, with some curiosity. Speaking of which, she and Zhao Jia's son Zhao Hua have been staying in the capital, and Zhao Yan and Cao Ying personally taught that she had not had time to get along with her son this time, but she was pulled into the palace together, which made her guess the purpose of this trip.

Hearing his son's inquiry, Zhao Yan glanced at Agnes and said to Zhao Jia: "Something happened in Europe, and you and Agnes already have children. According to legal principles, Agnes and Zhao Hua are the most orthodox heirs of the European throne, so after discussing with your cousin, I decided to send a fleet to Europe to help Agnes seize the throne!"

"Europe! What happened there?" As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, Agnes asked anxiously. She didn't care much about the throne, but his father sacrificed his life for the Holy Roman Empire, so she was particularly concerned about the situation in Europe.

Compared to Agnes's excitement, Zhao Jia fell silent at this time because he knew that his father had not said very clearly. He had discussed with him before that he wanted to control Europe in his hands, so that he could find a way out for his family. After all, the power of the Yue Palace is getting stronger and stronger now. Even if Zhao Xu will not be suspicious now, it is inevitable that his sons and grandsons will be suspicious in the future. Therefore, their father and son must prepare a safe retreat for the Yue Palace, and Europe is a good choice.

Seeing Agnes' excited look, Zhao Yan sighed and told her about the situation in Europe, especially because her two brothers fought for the throne, Europe has been in war for the past few years, and even some small countries around were implicated. He also pointed out that now European people are missing the peaceful period during the reign of Henry IV. If Agnes could come to Europe at this time, he would definitely call for a large number of followers with his father's reputation, and it would not be particularly difficult to seize the throne.

Hearing that the whole of Europe became miserable because of his two brothers, Agnes also showed a sad expression on his face, but at this time Zhao Yan said again: "Agnes. The throne of the Holy Roman Empire should be yours. If you want, I can send a fleet, and then Jiaer leads it to Europe to help you seize the throne. I wonder what you think?"

"I" Agnes showed a hesitant expression on her face when she heard Zhao Yan's suggestion. She was not an ambitious person, and even the throne continued was forced to her by her father before her death. From her true heart, she was not very willing to be an emperor. In addition, since she married Zhao Jia, although she was not a good wife, Zhao Jia was influenced by Zhao Yan and treated her wives and concubines equally. So she was very satisfied with her current life. Now she heard that she wanted to give up her current peaceful life and go to Europe to compete for the throne, and she was unable to make up her mind for a while.

"Father, Agnes's personality is not very suitable for being an emperor, and she has no ambition for power, so she should tell her about this matter directly, she should understand it!" At this time, Zhao Jia suddenly interrupted. He knew that his father was worried that Agnes was greedy for power, so he refused to tell her the truth. He just said to help her seize the throne, but did not tell her that even if she seized the throne, she and Zhao Jia's son Zhao Hua could only inherit the throne, which would be more in line with the interests of the Yue Palace.

After hearing his son say this, Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment and finally spoke out the truth, because he believed that his son looked at people. Since he said that Agnes had no ambition, it would be okay to tell her the truth. Anyway, the throne belongs to her own son and also to the Prince Yue Mansion. If she could understand and cooperate, it would make this plan easier.

Agnes listened quietly to Zhao Yan's statement, especially Zhao Yan's arrangement for the throne and the importance of Europe to the Yue Palace. A sudden expression appeared on her face. After listening, she first looked at Zhao Jia next to her, and then turned to Zhao Yan and said, "Father, you don't have to care about my idea of ​​the arrangement for the throne of the Holy Roman. In fact, my idea is very simple. I just hope to be with my husband at all times. Everything is enough!"

Agnes said that when he said the last sentence, he bravely grabbed Zhao Jia's hand, which made Zhao Jia feel a little uncomfortable. After all, his father was still watching, but Zhao Yan smiled understandingly and said, "Agnes, thank you for your understanding. I feel a little sorry for my concealment before!"

"Father is so serious, you are considering this family, and I will never blame you!" Agnes said hurriedly, but after saying this, she hesitated for a moment and said again, "Father, if Huaer becomes the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, then Europe and the Song Dynasty will be a family. Can Song Dynasty help us more Europe? For example, the farming technology, textile technology, etc. here are far more advanced than Europe. These can greatly improve the quality of life of the people. You must know that even during my father's reign, there are still many people in Europe who cannot even have enough food."

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this. As long as they are willing to accept our rule, we will naturally treat them as our own people and will never treat them unfairly!" Zhao Yan immediately promised, of course, if some Europeans are ignorant and dare to resist them, then don't blame him for being rude.

Agnes was simple in his mind, so he naturally didn't hear another meaning in Zhao Yan's words. He thanked him happily. Just as they were talking, the palace finally arrived. Zhao Yan took Zhao Jia and Agnes through the numerous palaces. Among them, Agnes entered the palace for the first time and was very curious about the palace in the Song Dynasty. She had watched the general layout of the palace from a hot air balloon before, but now she came to the palace in person. This palace is much larger than the palace she used to be in Europe, and the buildings are more magnificent. Such a huge palace group is probably only the national strength of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yan and the others soon came to the Chuigong Hall. Zhao Xu also received the news at this time, and specially put down the memorial and waited for them. When he saw Zhao Yan and the others coming in, he immediately stepped forward and smiled and said, "Uncle San, brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Seeing Zhao Xu coming, Zhao Jia also smiled and said, "I was dragged into the palace by my father as soon as I arrived in the capital. I still don't even have to drink saliva!"

"Okay, don't complain to each other. Let's talk about the serious matter first. When I was on the road just now, I told Agnes about the matter. She had no objection to this. Now it depends on how we send troops!" Zhao Yan interrupted with a smile. He knew that Zhao Jia and Zhao Xu had a deep relationship. If the two of them started chatting, they would definitely have no time to talk about the serious matter.

Zhao Xu and Zhao Jia also smiled when they heard Zhao Yan's words, and then followed Zhao Yan to sit down in the Chuigong Hall. Agnes sat beside Zhao Jia. Then Zhao Xu said, "Brother, since you and this European princess have heard this with Uncle Third, I will not repeat it anymore. This time I plan to send a huge fleet of twenty main warships and various other auxiliary warships to Europe, and then help His Highness seize the throne!"

"Twenty main warships! Isn't this a bit too much?" Zhao Jia couldn't help but stand up in surprise when he heard this. As the captain of the main warship of the navy, he naturally understood the terror of a main warship. You must know that there are hundreds of artillery on the warship alone. Cooperating with the soldiers and supplies on the ship, it is no exaggeration to say that the combat power of a main warship is enough to destroy a small country in Nanyang. Of course, the cost of the main warship is also very expensive, so Zhao Jia was so surprised when he heard that Zhao Xu had prepared twenty battleships for him.

"Not many, this is our first time to arrive in Europe, so it is necessary to show the national strength of our Song Dynasty. In addition, the Holy Roman Empire is mainly an internal six countries. The power at sea is not strong. If you want them to know our strength, it is not enough to just rely on a few warships. You must also have a sufficient number of troops. This time, so many warships are sent, and if necessary, you can also let the soldiers on the ship go ashore and remove the naval guns and enter the internal six battles. Only by defeating the opposition forces in Europe with this crushing attitude can you successfully seize the throne!" Zhao Yan said calmly at this time. Although Zhao Jia is excellent, he has been at the grassroots level of the navy for many years and is still somewhat lacking in some strategic directions, so it is necessary to send an experienced person to assist him.

"Uncle San said it right. This time is different from previous wars. It is the largest expedition since the founding of the Song Dynasty. The target of conquering is a major overseas country. Therefore, it is necessary to be foolproof. Therefore, there must be no ambiguity in the number of troops. If the journey is not too far and the supply transportation is too difficult, I am afraid I would like to send more warships." Zhao Xu nodded in agreement at this time.

"Supply? This is a big problem. The amount of supplies needed by twenty warships is not a small amount. How can we solve this problem then?" Zhao Jia suddenly thought of the problem of supply when she heard this. After all, such a large fleet is so far away, it is impossible to rely solely on the supplies carried by the fleet itself. There must be a supply fleet in the rear, but at such a long distance, it is too difficult to send the supply fleet over. (To be continued.)
