64. Zhao Gou regains control of the country

After Zhou Yi got beaten up and cried for his father and mother, he came back.

"Then when can Xu Xian return to Beijing?"

Zhao Gou also continued to ask.

"Back...back to the Holy One!"

"Xu... Marshal Xu said... that it will... want to recover the entire Central Plains before returning to the capital!"

"Commander Xu said...it is in urgent need of food, grass and baggage supplies!"

"I hope that Your Majesty can prepare military supplies and send them to the front line as soon as possible, and help Marshal Xu regain the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains!"

Zhou Yi endured the severe pain and responded.

"Get out!"

"Get out of here quickly, I don't want to see this person anymore!"

Zhao Gou heard that Zhou Yi was still carrying food, grass and luggage to him, so he coaxed him out directly.

"Your Majesty, Yu Yunwen, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, an official came outside to pay an audience.

"Yu Shangshu is here, please come in quickly, please come in!"

Song Gaozong quickly signaled to the guards to invite someone.

After a while, Yu Yunwen entered the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty!"

"I heard that Marshal Xu has recovered the entire Huaibei and even the entire Shandong during his northern expedition!"

"Now that the Tatars are in chaos, if Marshal Xu can take advantage of the situation to regain the entire Central Plains, it will be a blessing for our Song Dynasty!"

"So I have already taken stock of the treasury baggage and food supplies near Lin'an. I will send them to the front line immediately upon your order, so that Marshal Xu can fight to regain the Central Plains with a fresh start!"

"This is the treasury and baggage list that I have already checked. I hope your Majesty will check it out!"

Yu Yunwen handed over two volumes of documents.

"No need to show it to me!"

"So be it!"

"Tomorrow, Yu Yunwen, you don't have to stay in the capital. You can go to Sichuan to organize the future defense against the Tatars!"

"You don't have to worry about other things from now on!"

Zhao Gou was so angry at this time that he had nowhere to vent his anger.

"Your Majesty...!"

"You...what do you mean?"

Yu Yunwen was stunned for a moment.

"how?"

"You don't want to go to Sichuan?"

"Do you want to go to Lingnan?"

Zhao Gou immediately asked.

"Okay...I am willing to go to Sichuan!"

"I am willing!"

Of course, Yu Yunwen knew that he might have committed a taboo, and Emperor Zhao Gou clearly wanted to demote him to Sichuan to vent his anger.

If Yu Yunwen himself does not agree to go to Sichuan, I am afraid he will be demoted to Lingnan, a place where prisoners are exiled.

Yu Yunwen had followed Zhao Gou for many years, and of course he understood his character, so he had to agree immediately and did not dare to make any other criticisms.

So Yu Yunwen had no choice but to leave Lin'an and go to Sichuan to take office.

Shortly after Yu Yunwen left, another fat-headed monk suddenly appeared next to Zhao Gou.

"Amitabha!"

"Your Majesty!"

"What are you going to do?"

The fat-headed monk asked Zhao Gou.

"Grandmaster!"

"I have already asked my emperor to issue two golden orders, but Xu Xian did not accept them. If I continue to issue golden orders in the name of the emperor, I am afraid that he may not accept them!"

"Now Xu Xian has a lot of troops outside. There is a saying that the general will be outside and his orders will be ignored. I want to call him back for revenge, but I am powerless!"

Zhao Gou seemed helpless.

"Since it doesn't accept it, Your Majesty, please continue to send people to urge it!"

"I don't believe that it will still be able to accept the Thirteen Golden Orders from the Holy One!"

"And Xu Xian has already shown his wolfish ambitions. We must eradicate him, otherwise he will definitely rebel by then and pose a great threat to our Song Dynasty!"

This fat-headed monk was naturally Fahai who was thrown into the river by the Tatar Emperor Wanyan Liang that day.

After all, Fa Hai has magic in his body. Although he does not dare to use magic on others at will, he certainly has no problem with self-defense.

So after monk Fahai saved himself, he was naturally unwilling to fail like this, so he quietly returned to Lin'an with resentment towards Xu Xian.

When Fahai learned that Xu Xian sent people to imprison Emperor Zhao Gou in Shaoxing, he immediately went to Shaoxing.

After he sneaked into the palace, he met Emperor Zhao Gou and after a conversation with him, the two decided to jointly take revenge on Xu Xian.

Zhao Gou didn't understand his adopted son Zhao Shen, who was now in charge of the political power in Lin'an.

So Zhao Gou wrote a letter and asked Fahai to bring it to Zhao Shen.

Zhao Shen originally felt guilty towards his adoptive father Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou had been complaining to his son Zhao Shen in letters.

Zhao Gou even told Zhao Shen that he was seriously ill and that he would die soon. He also stated that his last wish before his death was to return to Lin'an, the capital, and his home to have sex with his son Zhao Shen again. The last farewell.

Zhao Shen was naturally convinced of this, and at this time, because he had repelled the invasion of the Jin soldiers, his reputation was getting stronger. The complacent Zhao Shen felt that his throne should have been stable, so he wanted to make up for Zhao Gou. Then he welcomed Zhao Gou back to Lin'an.

However, he did not expect that after Zhao Gou returned to Lin'an, he pretended to be ill, but in fact he secretly sent his cronies to contact former anti-war people to help him regain power.

Sure enough, the day came when the opportunity came.

Because it was the death anniversary of his biological mother, Zhao Shen wanted to go to Shaoxing to pay her respects.

The affairs of the DPRK were temporarily entrusted to Zhao Kangbo.

So Zhao Gou took advantage of Zhao Shen's pilgrimage to Shaoxing and suddenly ordered people to find Zhao Kangbo and imprison him. Then he came to the hall in person and presided over a court meeting in the name of his emperor.

On the occasion of the court meeting, Zhao Gou demoted a group of cronies promoted by Zhao Shen, and even replaced all the generals in Lin'an City with a group of former anti-war factions.

Suddenly, Zhao Gou took the opportunity to regain power, and Zhao Shen was forced to return to Lin'an and was imprisoned in the East Palace.

The reason why Zhao Gou did not liquidate Zhao Shen was simply because in Zhao Gou's eyes, Xu Xian was loyal to Zhao Shen. If he dealt with Zhao Shen at this time, he would naturally worry that Xu Xian, who had a lot of troops outside, would seek justice for Zhao Shen. .

Therefore, Zhao Gou conspired with Fahai to try his best to trick Xu Xian back to Lin'an and seize his military power.

Bianjing City suddenly seemed extremely quiet at this moment, so quiet that it almost made people suspect that Bianjing City had become an empty city.

"Pu Sanzhongyi, you rebellious person, why did you lead your troops to Bianjing City?"

"Didn't the Holy One ask you to continue waiting in the south of the city?"

"Do you know that you have now committed the crime of treason?"

Suddenly, a rough voice from the tower broke the silence.

"snort…!"

"Are you saying that my loyal servants have betrayed their loyalty and become traitors?"

"Isn't it because you, Wanyan Yuanyi, held the Holy Emperor hostage that I came to rescue you?"

"Hurry up and let us go, Your Majesty!"

"Otherwise, my servant San Zhongyi and all the soldiers who are loyal to the Holy Lord will save the Holy Lord from the hands of such an ambitious person like you, even if they give their last drop of blood!"

Pu San Zhongyi, who was riding a horse not far away, also faced the city tower and responded loudly.
