After Xu Xian entered the palace, Crown Prince Zhao Shen was already waiting in the palace.
"Xu Qing, I hurriedly summoned you to the palace today because of something urgent!"
When Zhao Shen saw Xu Xian arriving, he first explained.
"Your Highness!"
"What's the urgent matter?"
Of course Xu Xian didn't know.
"Xu...Xu Qing, you...have you heard that my father is about to leave for Lin'an?"
Zhao Shen's expression was very solemn as he spoke.
"Your Majesty is going back to Lin'an?"
"Then why is Your Majesty so eager to return to Lin'an?"
Xu Xian was also surprised when he heard the news.
After all, Xu Xian believed that Zhao Gou, who had always been greedy for life and fearful of death, would not dare to return to Lin'an at this time, so naturally he did not think of this.
"Listen to the news from Fuzhou!"
"My father seems to have gained confidence because he heard that there is hope for the fight against the Jin Dynasty, and he wants to come back to Lin'an to preside over the matter of the fight against the Jin Dynasty in person!"
"Xu Qing, look, what should we do?"
Zhao Shen seemed a little anxious.
"Your Highness, I, Xu Xian, might as well speak out!"
"Based on my guess, the reason why His Majesty agreed to canonize His Highness as the Crown Prince and take charge of all government affairs against the Jin Dynasty on his behalf is because he felt that it was hopeless to fight against the Jin Dynasty, and he just wanted to use you as a scapegoat for him!"
"And when His Majesty saw that our army and people of the Song Dynasty were united and would do our best to stop the Jin soldiers from going south, he also became confident in resisting the Jin troops. He was even more afraid that after His Highness's victory in resisting the Jin troops, he himself would become the Supreme Emperor and lose the title of Emperor. After getting the power and position that we deserve, we are just not willing to give in!"
"So Your Highness, you should not be so kind to a woman at this time!"
Xu Xian directly analyzed it with Zhao Shen.
"Why don't I understand what you are saying?"
"But after all, my father is the real emperor of the Song Dynasty today, and he is also a person who has been kind to me!"
"What else can I do?"
Zhao Shen seemed very embarrassed.
"Then think about it, Your Highness, if the Holy One really returns to Lin'an today, the first thing I'm afraid he will do is to send someone to serve His Highness back to the East Palace. As for the affairs of the government, Your Highness will no longer be able to interfere with you in the future!"
"After that, the Holy One will make a fuss about Your Highness's decision to rehabilitate General Yue Fei and promote ministers as Prime Minister, depriving you of the position of Crown Prince and even the throne. From now on, Your Highness, you will have nothing to do with the throne. !”
"In the end, the Holy One will still stick to the previous strategy, focusing on making peace with the Jin people. Even if the Emperor of Jin is defeated in the end, the Holy One will demand that all the land in Jiangbei be ceded to the Jin people!"
"From now on, the Song Dynasty will be even weaker, and the Jin people will be stronger!"
"After the Jin people, we can use the Jianghuai land to vigorously develop more naval forces to prepare for the destruction of our Song Dynasty in the future!"
"If this continues, within thirty years at most, our Song Dynasty will be completely destroyed at the hands of the Jin people!"
"Your Highness, if you don't think about yourself, you must also think about the Song Dynasty!"
"Since the current Holy One is no longer a wise king, why should you be so persistent?"
Xu Xian started to make powerful statements to Zhao Shen.
"I also understand that we cannot have both our country and our family!"
"But I am born with benevolence and filial piety, so how can I do any unfilial behavior towards my father?"
"How about this!"
"Xu Qing, please immediately mobilize all the soldiers and horses you have collected and go to the front line to fight against the Jin!"
"At that time, if my father is afraid of war and gives orders to Xu Qing to retreat, Xu Qing can also temporarily ignore my father's order on the grounds that he will not obey the orders of the foreign emperor and continue. Fight gold with all your strength.”
"When the Japanese and Japanese soldiers are repelled, Xu Qing, you don't have to go back to Lin'an anymore. I will arrange people in advance to rescue your wife and send her to the front line to reunite you with her!"
"If you can defeat the Jin people on the front line and even regain the lost territory of the Central Plains, then you can also run the Central Plains and establish your own business, so why not?"
"I just hope that when you establish your own business, you will not collude with the Jin people to destroy our Song Dynasty. Even if I am imprisoned for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied!"
As Zhao Shen spoke, he burst into tears.
What does Zhao Shen mean?
Does it want me to lead all the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against the Jin, defeat the Jin people, recover the Central Plains, and establish myself as emperor in the Central Plains?
But have I become such an emperor?
I'm afraid that when I become emperor on my own day, it will be his father, Emperor Zhao Gou, who really colludes with the gold thieves and attacks Xu Xian from the north and south!
So although I also have the dream of being an emperor from the moment I entered the Lin'an City Palace, I can't be so naive!
Is this Zhao Shen testing me?
"Your Highness, if you say this, you are looking down on me, Xu Xian!"
"I, Xu Xian, am not the kind of person who is greedy for power and has wishful thinking!"
"My, Xu Xian's greatest wish in this life is to regain the Central Plains for the Song Dynasty, and finally be reunited with my wife for the rest of my life, that's enough!"
Thinking of this, Xu Xian couldn't help but reply to Zhao Shen.
"I didn't expect you, Xu Qing, to be a loyal and courageous person. I am really ashamed of myself!"
Zhao Shen seemed to feel relieved after hearing Xu Xian's response.
"Since Your Majesty has decided to return to Lin'an, I, Xu Xian, have a way that will not affect your reputation, Your Highness, but also allow Your Highness to continue to act on behalf of the Emperor!"
Xu Xian suddenly thought of a way.
"any solution?"
"Xu Qing, just tell me quickly!"
Zhao Shen was naturally excited when he heard that Xu Xian had thought of a solution.
"The only way is!"
"Your Highness, starting tomorrow, you will immediately go with the army to the front line to supervise the battle in the name of the Crown Prince supervising the world's troops and avoid meeting the Holy Majesty!"
"And I, Xu Xian, will directly select a group of loyal soldiers and go to Shaoxing to wait for the arrival of the Holy One!"
"When the Holy One arrives in Shaoxing, I will immediately lead the soldiers to blockade the Shaoxing Imperial Palace!"
"When the time comes, Your Highness, you will do your best to organize the anti-gold campaign, and just leave everything else alone!"
"After I, Xu Xian, have properly handled the affairs of the Holy Emperor and the affairs of the court, I will immediately go to help you fight against the gold!"
"If we can repel the Jin soldiers by then, even if we return the Holy One to Lin'an, His Highness, as the Crown Prince, have also saved the country and have military power, the Holy One will not dare to do anything to you anymore!"
"Finally, in order for you to enjoy your old age in peace, Your Majesty will take the initiative to pass it on to you, Your Highness. You can also serve the Supreme Emperor until your death!"
"This way, Your Highness, you will not lose the name of filial piety in the future, and you will no longer have anything to worry about!"
Xu Xian had already prepared this strategy.
“It seems that’s the only way it can be!”
"But this is it!"
"Xu Qing, will you inevitably end up with the eternal infamy like Qin Hui in the future?"
Zhao Shen also understood that this was probably the best way for now.
"For the sake of Your Highness, a truly wise king like you, I, Xu Xian, am willing to be infamous throughout the ages!"
"Then Your Highness, please prepare now for your personal expedition tomorrow!"
"I, Xu Xian, have to go back and make some arrangements!"
After Xu Xian finished speaking, he bid farewell to Zhao Shen and left the palace. This chapter has been completed!
