After a brief hesitation, Zhao Kai reacted suddenly. He quickly rushed to the captain and asked with wide eyes.
"You mean to say that the Jin people retreated and the city of Tokyo was saved?"
Seeing the captain nodding, Zhao Kai felt ecstatic.
"Great! I didn't expect that Wu Zhi was even more powerful than the prince!"
"This prince is indeed foresighted. Even before his defense was successful, I had already named him a loyal and brave general."
"Now, Wu Zhi must be very grateful to this prince!"
Zhao Kai waved his hand: "Quickly, get the jade seal! I will give Wu Zhi another imperial edict to commend him for his heroic performance in guarding Tokyo City."
Cai Jing immediately glanced at Gao Qiu, and Gao Qiu immediately had a cold look on his lips.
He hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness, no! No!"
"Why not?"
Zhao Kai looked at Gao Qiu with confusion and suspicion in his eyes.
Gao Qiu hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness, we originally named Wu Zhi a loyal and brave general with the purpose of putting him to death."
"Have you forgotten? This Wu Zhi has a dual identity!"
"He is still the King of Yan of the Liao Kingdom! I have never heard of anyone in the world who can serve as an official in two countries, and his official position is so high!"
Gao Qiu's ability to stir up trouble was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Zhao Kai was originally a very suspicious person, and Gao Qiu just caught this in him.
He continued: "Has Your Highness ever thought about how Wu Zhi, with tens of thousands of people, could stop Jin's army of hundreds of thousands?"
"You know, the number of our Song army is several times larger than the opponent's! But they were still beaten to the point of losing their armor!"
"Is it really because our Song army is incompetent?"
When Gao Qiu said this, Zhao Kai's heart sank.
He is a scholar and does not know much about military and state affairs.
"No! Definitely not!"
"Furthermore, who knows whether the King of Yan was given the title by the Jin people? Who knows whether this is Wu Zhi and the Jin people acting?"
After hearing this, Zhao Kai felt that what Gao Qiu said was somewhat reasonable.
He immediately asked: "But no matter what, the Jin army has really retreated. What does Gao Taiwei think of becoming the prince next?"
Cai Jing and Gao Qiu looked at each other, and Gao Qiu said immediately.
"Although the Jin people were repulsed, it was just a show! If Wei Chen's prediction is true, within half a year, the Jin people will definitely make a comeback!"
"In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I sincerely request His Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne immediately!"
"Now that the jade seal is in our hands, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty!"
Gao Qiu's words really express Zhao Kai's feelings.
Zhao Kai quickly urged Zhang Han beside him to write the documents related to the enthronement in the main hall immediately.
Zhang Han originally wanted to be tough, but Gao Qiu whispered a threat in his ear.
"It's a thousand miles from Yingtianfu to Hangzhou, traveling through mountains and rivers. Do you think your wife and children can arrive safely?"
You don’t need to say too much, just one sentence is enough.
No matter how much hatred he felt in his heart, Zhang Han had no choice but to bite the bullet and write.
Seeing Zhang Han writing a lot eloquently, Zhao Kai, who is also a scholar, nodded repeatedly when he saw it.
"You are truly worthy of being a descendant of Xianggong Su. His literary talent and sharp skills are the best among masters!"
"Come here, pick up the jade seal."
However, after Zhao Kai shouted, no one agreed.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look to the side, and found that the two eunuchs he sent to get the jade seal had not returned yet.
Zhao Kai frowned slightly, these two eunuchs were his cronies and had been placed in the palace.
They brought this jade seal from the palace.
It was precisely because Zhao Kai had this jade seal in his hands that he could legitimately inherit the throne.
But the strange thing is that these two eunuchs have been gone for so long, why haven't they come back yet?
