The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

On the sixth day of the eighth month, Zhao Qi obeyed the order and rewarded the troops heavily, and prepared to withdraw the troops in batches. He also began to deal with the aftermath and arranged the matters after returning to the capital. On the seventh day of the day, Lingzhou, Youzhou, and Xiazhou, the troops took the lead.

He set out on his way back, but the armies in Hedong were facing a great enemy and sent troops to monitor and escort the country. On the ninth day of the lunar month, archers and brave men from all over the country returned to their army under the unified command of Zhou Dajun.

Zhao Qi put the Zhongyong Army and the Hezhou Army at the end. He was worried that the imperial guards would secretly siege the various armies under the secret order. With his own and Zhongyong Army in Hedong, no one dared to gently stroke the tiger's beard. Just after the Hezhong Army gradually retreated,

The emperor issued an order again, and this time he spoke even more, severely rebuked Zhao Jie for violating the order and ordered him to leave Hedong and go to Beijing today...

"Prince, I will let the disbanded personal army be allowed to bring a hundred followers back to Beijing, but Hedong sent troops to command the escort along the way. There will be no fraud among them, right?" Zhao Meng said worriedly. The Guard Brigade was a loyal and brave army a year ago.

After being disbanded, the only guard force around the prince was known to everyone, as long as there were guard brigades, they could protect the prince even if there were thousands of enemies. However, they were now reduced again, so they could not help but worry.

"Yes, prince, let alone the Jurchens hate you to the core now, even if there are people in the court who want to be detrimental to you, they will never agree!" Zhao Zhi said, even those guards did not feel relieved.

"What do you think of? I'll take people to break through and fight all the way to the capital?" Zhao Qiong said with a smile.

"It's better to kill him. At worst, let the prince be the emperor. If he doesn't get angry with those people, he will stumbling around us!" Xu Biao said with a grimace.

"Nonsense, is the emperor just casually doing it? You want to lose your head!" Zhang Pu kicked him.

"Tsk, my head is also given by the prince. They have to ask the prince first, of course they want to be unfavorable to the prince. They also have to ask whether I agree or not. This time I will accompany the prince to Beijing. Who dares to be unfavorable to the prince? I

Twist his head off!" Xu Biao snorted coldly.

"Okay, listen to the prince's greeting honestly. If you want to enter the capital, I don't know how much trouble the prince will cause!" Zhao Moe scolded.

"You don't have to worry about these things. Just train troops in the river and farm. Don't cause trouble. If anyone makes trouble, don't blame me for kicking his ass when I come back!" Zhao Qi stopped everyone's laughter and said.

At this moment, someone came in to inform him. Zhao Ren, Zhao Li and others arrived. Because Zhao Ren dared to "resist" the prince's bad behavior during the Hezhong army's aid, he was specially appointed as the general manager of the Hezhong Army and changed the

Zhao Yi, who was recommended by him, was the commander of the Hezhong Army. Zhao Lian, the deputy magistrate of the Volcano Army, was transferred to the commander of the Lin, Mansion and Fengzhou Army, and monitored the Hezhong Army. However, Zhao Zhong was dismissed from office for the reason of his ineffective invasion of the Jin army.

The court played the trick of using barbarians to control barbarians and differentiated and attacked them, intending to completely dismantle the loyal and brave army!

That night, the heads of various divisions of the Zhongyong Army came to Sanjiaokou one after another to discuss the matter after the prince left. Zhao Qiong still put the preparations for the war against the Jin Kingdom first. He hoarded food and grass, tamed horses, and coached the army, and must not relax. At the same time, he adjusted Zhongyong

After he left the army's leadership team, Zhao Ren was still headed by Zhao Wen, with Zhao Meng as the first deputy commander in charge of daily work; Zhao Yong, the chief commander of the Kruel Army, also served as the second deputy commander of the Zhongyong Army, in order to coordinate the battle between the two armies. At the same time, Zhao was also the chief commander of the Kruel Army.

Xin was adjusted to be the deputy commander of the Kruel Army; Zhao Li was the third deputy commander in charge of the training and combat preparations of the troops, and also served as the Du Yuhou and the brigade leader of the brigade.

Zhao Yisheng was appointed as the military supervisor. He was responsible for supervising the various armies and maintaining military discipline. Jiang Fei's Military Information Department and Law Enforcement Team were assigned to him, but he had the right to independently report directly to the prince; Zhao Xiao was in charge of artillery operations and remained unchanged; Zhao Zhi

He was still in charge of logistics and supplies, and was promoted to deputy general manager of the royal palace, and had the right to mobilize the financial and material resources of the four halls in the mansion to supply military supplies. The only thing that has not changed is that the Intelligence Department is still under the jurisdiction of the prince.

What remains is the safety issues of the prince who is most concerned about after returning to Beijing. Zhao Qi did not want to go to Beiguocheng to eat snow, and of course he did not want to go to Fengbo Pavilion to hang himself. Safety was also his concern. After some discussion, he decided to exclude the part of the Guard Brigade.

The Northwest people who joined the army in the local army were transferred to the Zhongyong Army, and the rest were separated from the Zhongyong Army and disbanded on the spot.

All members of the inner guards were converted into tragic servants in the royal palace, and some of the special forces were converted into the prince's escorts, and some became the guards recruited by the royal palace, which were still divided into two parts: light and dark. The remaining two thousand people in the Guard Brigade were all'

After demobilization, he returned home, and was led by Zhao Zhong, who was not in charge, to return to his hometown in Xiangyi and return to his land and farming!

At the same time, Li Jun ordered the Intelligence Department to secretly form a task force, led by Xue Hai, the general manager of the Intelligence Department Operations Bureau, to the capital. Their mission is to establish a secret passage, communicate the contact between the royal palace and the outside world, and to bring the prince in a crisis.

Rescued from the capital and escorted to a safe place...

"Have the Zhe brothers and sisters left yet?" It was late at night after handling military affairs. Zhao Qi walked towards his tent and turned his face to ask for joy.

"Second Master, no, Boss Zhe wants to see you and say there is something to discuss with you." Jianxi said.

"Well, it's good to explain when I meet you!" Zhao Qi stopped and thought for a while and said. After returning to Beijing by the imperial edict, Zhe Meiluan's status would be embarrassing. If he returns to Beijing with him, he will not say anything without a name or a distinction, but it has not been said yet.

With permission from the family, and having filial piety is still there, she cannot get married. If she stays, she will come out to join her privately, so how can she have the attitude to go back? She will have a very unhappy relationship with her brother, even if she takes her in, she will be

Very sad.

"See the prince, thank you for your help!" Zhao Qi walked into a small tent next to his tent. When Zhe Keqiu saw him, he quickly stood up and bowed.

"General Zhe doesn't have to be too polite!" Zhao Qixu helped him and said. Zhe Keqiu looked much older. The economic situation in the clan has been deteriorating in recent years, and life has become more difficult. Not to mention his defeat, brother

Missing and his father passed away, all the burdens in the family were on his shoulders, making him breathless, but he also asked for it!

The Zhe family was hereditary prefecture, but the Fuzhou was upgraded from Fugu County. Although its status was improved, its jurisdiction was still only one county. Its north was flat and its aquatic plants were abundant, suitable for animal husbandry, but the hills and ravines in the south were crisscrossed, and many were dangerous and narrow.

It is not convenient to farm, and only the two sides of the river are suitable for farming, so the income from rent and tax is limited and it is difficult to maintain family expenses. It mainly depends on official salary, rewards from the court, and some charity houses bought outside, and income subsidies from other industries.

However, the Zhe family was able to dominate the northwest for a hundred years, and it was not enough to rely solely on this little income. The plundering in the war, the rewards from the court, and border trade were the big ones. However, since Zhao Qiong fought westward, he won the Hezhong region and Fengzhou, and the front line

Moving northward, the military status of the prefectures declined, and it would not work to make money through war. Peace brought unlimited business opportunities, low tariffs destroyed the smuggling transactions in the prefectures, and the horse business that was monopolized in the past was caused by Xixia horses, Uighur horses, and Tubo horses.

The influx was snatched away.

By this time, the Zhe family had a household control that was far less than that of the early Song Dynasty, and their economy and military strength had dropped significantly. They saw that the prince's caravans were traversing the Western Regions countries and making a big profit. As long as the fingers were loose, they would be enough.

Now it has been a few years of trouble. But the prince is very dissatisfied with their speculative behavior and rejects their suggestions for cooperation. The Zhe family can only struggle in the increasingly difficult days. They wanted to use the rescue of Taiyuan to earn some military achievements and rewards, but

After repeated defeats, if this continues, the court should be removed from the foreign countries...

"How does General Zhe Er feel?" Zhao Qi turned to Zhe Kecun on the side and asked.

"Thank you, Prince, I'm much better. The doctor said he would recover after a few days of recuperation!" Zhe Kecun replied quickly. After being rescued, he would eat and drink every day and serve him well with good medicine. He was not very big.

The injury was just tortured by the Jurchens and was weak, and now it is fine.

"Okay, the Zhong Zheng army will return to the river in the future. You will be walking together, and there will be a response on the road!" Zhao Qi nodded and said.

"Does the prince want to return to Beijing too?" Zhe Kecun asked in surprise.

"Yes, I'll leave within three days!" Zhao Qiong said.

"That sister..." Zhe Kecun asked. He knew that the reason why the prince was willing to send guards to rescue him from the golden camp was mostly due to his sister's share.

"I was about to discuss with you the arrangements of the half-fold girl." Zhao Qie sat down and said.

"I want to go back to Beijing with the prince!" Zhe Meiluan said without waiting for the two brothers to speak first.

"No, the prince is busy with all kinds of things, and Beijing is not as good as Hedong. What are you going to Beijing to do?" Zhe Keqiu said with a glaring at his sister.

"Meiluan, I know you are in love with the prince, but now my father is mourning and it is not appropriate to marry him. Let's go home with me!" Zhe Kecun also advised.

"My father is gone, why are there any nostalgia at home? Don't you always think I'm annoying? Why should you pretend to be in front of the prince now?" Zhe Meiluan sarcastically. She was very angry at her elder brother's hypocrisy.

"Miss Zhe, the words of the two brothers are reasonable. My future is uncertain this time. I will return to the capital for a while. When I settle down in the capital, I will pick you up!" Zhao Qi said.

"Your Majesty, don't coax me anymore. You have repeatedly violated the edict. There will be risks when you return to Beijing. Meiluan cannot abandon the prince at this time!" Zhe Meiluan understood the prince's meaning, but in fact she also saw that the prince was like this.

Life is so depressed, and everyone is not energetic, they are all worried about the safety of the prince after he returns to Beijing!

"Meiluan is obedient. My brothers did not do well in the past. I will never do this again. Go back with my second brother!" Zhe Keqiu was snatched away by his sister, but he didn't dare to have an attack in front of the prince, so he could only speak well.

Advise.

"Prince, can you ask if the prince really intends to marry the sister?" Zhe Kecun saw that his sister was determined to leave with the prince, but as a brother, he had to win a name for his sister.

point.

"Of course, I will definitely marry Mei Luan and get Mei Luan to the mansion! But now is not the time." Zhao Qi said with great certainty.

"Okay, since that's the case, my father is not here, I'll decide on the marriage between my sister and the prince. Today we will make a marriage contract!" Zhe Kecun said... (To be continued...)
