The first meeting between Chen Qing and the late emperor Zhao Huan seemed very serious, and the atmosphere was a bit tense. Chen Qing respectfully bowed to the emperor and his ministers, and then sat down opposite Zhao Huan. This was not a favor, but a seat on his own.
This was Chen Qing's method of using both soft and hard tactics. He was soft and soft to the end. He knelt down and saluted, but he was hard enough. He sat down without saying anything, and he was on an equal footing. There was silence around him, and no one scolded Chen Qing.
After a long time, Zhao Huan said slowly: "Thank you to the king for welcoming my father's coffin back to the Song Dynasty, so that his soul can return to his homeland."
Yesterday afternoon, after his son talked with Xu Ning, Zhao Huan knew the true relationship between Chen Qing and the imperial court. Wan Yanchang was right, but he also had something to hide. For example, he told himself that Chen Qing sent troops to occupy Sichuan and made Sichuan his
However, Wan Yanchang did not tell him about Chen Qing's negotiations with the imperial court. Sichuan still belonged to the imperial court, and officials were appointed by the imperial court and reported to the imperial court. Chen Qing only took away Sichuan's taxes.
Zhao Huan then knew that Chen Qing was still a minister of the emperor in name, but in fact he had already separated himself. This was fully demonstrated by his current etiquette. He was treated as a minister, but he was on an equal footing with himself.
But now Zhao Huan is no longer the sharp-edged new emperor he was back then. Ten years of torture have made him more timid on the one hand, but at the same time, they have also made him more tolerant and deeper.
Chen Qing sat across from him. His eyelids didn't even twitch and he didn't seem to care at all. In comparison, Chen Qing seemed a bit aggressive and his head was ferocious.
But is this really the case? It's really not the case. Chen Qing was not so sharp because this was his first meeting with the late emperor and he had to express his attitude. At this time, attitude is the most important.
Of course, there is something unknown. Chen Qing vaguely guessed that Zhao Huan suffers from a mental illness, which is phobia. The best way to control a person with phobia is to make him afraid of you from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time only
Being able to rely on you alone makes him willing to be controlled by you, but this has to happen slowly and subtly.
Zhao Huan is a very important chess piece in Chen Qing's hands, and his dream may come true in Zhao Huan's hands.
"Emperor, take a good rest for a few months and recover your health. Then we will go to Lin'an."
"Going to Lin'an?" Zhao Huan's pupils shrank suddenly, fear showing in his eyes.
Chen Qing could see clearly and thought to himself that it seemed that he was not stupid. He knew that Zhao Gou would not tolerate him.
"The emperor should know that the imperial court is in Lin'an!"
"I know!"
"I'm just going to Lin'an to take a look. There's no need to worry about safety issues. Weichen will absolutely guarantee the emperor's safety."
With Chen Qing's words, Zhao Huan breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's rest for a few months before we talk!"
In Lin'an, a medium-sized cargo ship sailed into the West Lake. There was a person sitting in front of the cargo ship. It was Hu Yun, the manager of the Jingzhao Newspaper Office in Lin'an. After a month, he appeared again in Lin'an.
As time went by, the "Beijing News" incident had been gradually forgotten by people, and the county government no longer pursued the matter.
In the cargo ship, there were ten large boxes containing 12,000 copies of the "Beijing News" that had just been printed and needed to be distributed to all parts of Lin'an again.
The ship docked in front of a south cargo pier. An ox cart was parked on the pier. Several people got off and quickly lifted ten large boxes onto the ox cart.
These people are intelligence scouts lurking in Lin'an from the Prince's Intelligence Department. There are eighty people in total, collecting intelligence from all aspects. Their mission this time is to disperse 12,000 newspapers in Lin'an City.
In order to avoid being spotted, they used the simplest method to distribute 12,000 newspapers to 400 taverns and teahouses in Lin'an, with 30 copies for each house. They chose to distribute them during the prime time of eating and drinking tea, because there was no ban from the imperial court.
, the shopkeepers of these pubs and teahouses are not worried, they will naturally distribute it to their guests.
At dusk, eighty people acted together. According to their respective lists, one person was in charge of five houses. They planned carefully and acted quickly. In just a quarter of an hour, all 12,000 copies were distributed.
At nightfall, Lu Jin ran back to the inner house with a newspaper. In the study, Lu Yihao was reading "The Monkey King in Heaven" with gusto. This was the second time he read it. It was the second time he read it.
, he has produced many interesting things. For example, Patriarch Bodhi has been paying attention to the birth of the Stone Monkey for a long time. When the Stone Monkey was born, the light in his eyes shocked the heavens. How could Patriarch Bodhi not know about it?
There is also the Dragon King of the East China Sea who used Sun Wukong's hand to pull out the magic needle of Dayu Zhenhai, and the number of flat peaches that Sun Wukong stole in the flat peach garden was completely inconsistent, taking the blame for all the peach thieves.
It was only the second time that Lu Yihao saw these clues. He couldn't help but write a few comments on the book.
"Father!" The eldest son Lu Jin's joyful voice came from outside the door. He must be up to something good.
"Come in!"
The door opened, and Lu Jin walked in quickly, holding a newspaper in his hand. Lu Yihao's eyes lit up, "Is there another "Beijing News"?"
"Exactly, it came out this afternoon. It was specially sent by the manager of Jinshan Restaurant. Someone sent thirty copies to our restaurant and distributed them to the guests."
Jinshan Restaurant is the property of the Lu family. It only opened two years ago and the business is quite good. Lu Yihao quickly asked: "Who sent the newspaper?"
"Shopkeeper Wang said he didn't know the person who came, so he gave the newspaper and left without asking for a penny."
Lu Yihao pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that they must be the intelligence scouts of the Western Army in Lin'an. They knew the intelligence and were responsible for distributing newspapers most conveniently.
Lu Yihao quickly took the newspaper, and he was stunned by the big words on the front page, 'The Second Emperor Returns to His Motherland!'
Another special page, which introduces in detail the negotiation process with the Jin Kingdom and the two exchanges. It especially writes that when tens of thousands of ordinary people returned to their homeland, they all cried bitterly and broke down in tears. It was very touching and touching.
There is a picture of a man kneeling on his knees, holding the soil with both hands, looking up to the sky and wailing. The title is, 'Dad, Mom, rest in peace! The baby is finally home.'
This scene even made Lu Yihao's eyes a little moist.
The following is the key point. The late emperor Zhao Huan and the prince have returned, and the coffin of the Supreme Emperor has also returned. The accompanying picture is a huge coffin picture, 'The Soul of the Supreme Emperor Returns to the Homeland'.
Lu Yihao sighed softly, Chen Qing was applying eye drops to the emperor! It is estimated that the emperor will not be able to accept the move this time.
At this moment, the housekeeper said at the door: "The second master is here."
Lu Yihao hurriedly said to Lu Jin: "Second uncle is here. Please come to my study quickly."
Lu Jin walked out quickly, and after a while, Lu Qingshan walked in.
"Brother, have you also seen the newspaper?" Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"Second brother should have seen it too, right?"
Lu Qingshan sat down on the chair next to him and said, "I haven't read it yet. I guess I have it here, but I knew the contents yesterday."
"No way! The newspaper only appeared this afternoon."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "What I read was not the newspaper, but Chen Qing's memorial. It arrived yesterday afternoon and was presented to the emperor this morning."
"What did the emperor say?"
"The Emperor has issued an edict this afternoon, ordering Zhao Ding as the welcoming envoy and me as the deputy envoy to rush to Jingzhao to welcome back the coffin of the Supreme Emperor."
"Second brother is going to Jingzhao?"
Lu Qingshan nodded, "So I'm going to see my brother tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. Is there anything you want me to take with you?"
Lu Yihao said quickly: "I will write a letter home right away. You sit down for a while and read the newspaper."
After a pause, Lu Yihao asked again: "What about the late emperor? Will anyone take him back to Lin'an together?"
Lu Qingshan shook his head, "Chen Qing said that the late emperor was too weak and needed to recuperate for a few months. This time he will only welcome the coffin of the Supreme Emperor, and he will welcome the late emperor back in a few months."
