Zhao Dian was a little puzzled: "Why is it to relieve him of some of his military powers, but not all of them." **”

Zhao Yan sighed in his heart, the prince was still too young to know the subtle relationship, and patiently explained: "Once you can repel the Jin army, Yang Yan will naturally take the credit, if Yang Yan is relieved of all military power, it will only make Yang Yan dissatisfied, and it will also make other generals feel cold." What's more, although the Jin army retreats, it is inevitable that it will not make a comeback, and you will still need to use Yang Yan to resist the Jin army at that time. Therefore, it must not be relieved of all military powers. ”

Zhao Dian said: "Erchen understands. It's just that at that time, should Erchen leave Yang Yan in Lin'an, or let him garrison the border? ”

Zhao Yan nodded, very satisfied, and said: "Good question, at that time, you can leave Yang Yan in Lin'an, and you can be appointed by him as the commander of the front secretary of the palace, or the deputy envoy of the privy council, so that Yang Yan can be entrusted with the important tasks of the imperial court and will not have resentment, and others in the court are separated from the army, which is also easy to control." Just don't let him garrison the border and hold a heavy army. ”

Zhao Dian said: "Thank you for the official teachings, the sons know." ”

Zhao Yan said: "In addition, I have decided to marry Liuniang to Yang Yan, so once the war between the two countries is over, you can immediately give them a marriage and allow them to complete the marriage." ”

Zhao Dian was slightly stunned, puzzled: "Why is this?" Didn't Yang Yan marry Jiuniang with the scriptures? Why did you want to marry Liu Niangxu to him, wouldn't she marry two princesses?"

Zhao Yan said: "Yang Yan is not greedy for money, but he is young and romantic, and he does not visit more beauties and envelops him. It's just that Jiuniang is the daughter of the vassal king, not my biological daughter. And Liuniang is your own sister, marrying her to Yang Yan can show the court's favor to Yang Yan, and secondly, having Liuniang by Yang Yan's side, you can also persuade Yang Yan from time to time to make him loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. Although marrying the two princesses to one person will damage the dignity of the court, it can show the court's trust in Yang Yan even more, if this can be exchanged for Yang Yan's eternal loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, it is also worth it. ”

Zhao Dian said: "Erchen respects his life. ”

Zhao Yan said again: "Also, Liuniang is smart, knowledgeable, and literary and martial arts are all the best choices, but it's a pity that she is a woman." But that's fine, because she's a woman, she doesn't think about the throne, so you can trust her completely and don't need to have any scruples. If there is something important and difficult to decide, you may wish to consult with her more and listen to her advice, and there will be nothing wrong with it. ”

Zhao Dian said: "Erchen respects the order, and everything in the future must be discussed with Liuniang more." ”

Zhao Yan said: "Also, what I can't rest assured about is Concubine Li, she is wild and jealous, moody, and arrogant, arrogant and brutal, and you are cowardly and gentle, I am afraid that I will not be able to control her in the future." The rebellion of the palace curtain is the root of the trouble, and it is still taboo for the previous dynasties, and with Liuniang here, she can also help you control Concubine Li in the future, deter the harem, so that she will not be too public, and she will not be in chaos. And you have to remember that once you inherit the throne, Concubine Li will definitely let you re-establish yourself as a member of the Li clan, but this must not be feasible to prevent relatives from passing on power. ”

Zhao Dian said: "Erchen must keep in mind the teachings of the official family. ”

Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Okay, my father and son will say it all today, I will not be by your side in the future, you should do it yourself." ”

Then Zhao Yan immediately recruited the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and announced that Chen Junqing, Shi Hao, Long Dayuan, Yang Yi and others would protect the Emperor Zhao Gou and the crown prince Zhao Dan, and leave Lin'an tomorrow first, and live in Tanzhou to hide the Jin army. Other ministers such as Han Yanzhi, Liang Kejia, Hong Shi, Hu Quan and others remained in Lin'an for the time being, waiting to see what happened.

The other ministers all persuaded Zhao Yan to leave Lin'an with the prince, and many of them even kowtowed to the ground, bleeding nonstop. Han Yan even expressed his wish to stay in Lin'an on behalf of Zhao Yan and swear to resist the Jin army, but Zhao Yan was determined and did not obey. The ministers' exhortations were just laughed off. The other ministers saw that the emperor was determined and knew that persuasion was useless, so they had to do it.

The autumn rain was like a note, and the Song army was hurrying in the rain.

Yang Yan urged the people to hurry while pondering. It was only now that he had time to think quietly about the matter of returning to Ansheng this time.

This time there was actually only one day to return to Lin'an, so the trip was in a hurry, so that before leaving, Yu Yunwen didn't even go there to say goodbye, but although the time to come back was short, there were a lot of things, and the most surprising thing for Yang Yan was that Zhao Yan suddenly agreed to marry Zhao Yueru to himself. And he had to explain it to Zhao Yueru in person.

Thinking of this, Yang Yan couldn't help but touch the jade pendant engraved with Zhao Yueru's birthday in his arms again, and couldn't help but think about what kind of scene it would be if he met Zhao Yueru this time, and how he should explain it to Zhao Yueru. Zhao Yueru is undoubtedly a competitive woman, will she pick up a stick and force herself to compete with her, she must win her before she agrees to marry herself?

Thinking of this, Yang Yan also felt a little funny in his heart, but his experience of acquaintance with Zhao Yueru recalled one scene after another in his mind. Although he deliberately stopped thinking about it since he married Zhao Qianru, Yang Yan was surprised to see that every scene he recalled now was so clear, as if he had just been born yesterday.

Of course, now that Yang Yan has experienced a lot of things, he won't believe that Zhao Yan really agreed to this marriage because he likes Zhao Yueru, or Zhao Yueru likes himself, and he will marry Zhao Yueru to himself. Yang Yan knew in his heart that whether it was Zhao Yueru or Zhao Qianru, his family affairs were actually full of political goals. To put it bluntly, it is just a means for Zhao Yan to entrap himself. And now the situation in the Great Song Dynasty is almost similar to Wanyan Zongbi's "searching mountains and checking the seas" back then. Under such circumstances, his role in the Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly extremely important. That's why Zhao Yan made such a decision.

But despite this, Yang Yan was still very grateful to Zhao Yan in his heart, after all, Zhao Yan was also under huge pressure to marry two princesses at the same time, and this kind of thing is not a decision that every emperor can make. And the most important thing is that Zhao Yan's determination to die for the country also moved Yang Yan, because the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty lacked such blood.

Therefore, Yang Yan also made up his mind in his heart that he would do his best to support the future new monarch, repel the Jin army, and protect the Great Song Dynasty.

However, Yang Yan also knows that the situation this time is very crisis. Although he proposed a feasible plan to Zhao Yan, it may not be known whether it will succeed. Even if it is oneself, at most it is only fifty percent sure, and the other fifty percent depends on God's will.

Although he has been ordered to pacify Guangnan, he has swept away Manichaeism, pacified Dali, forced to land in Jiaozhi, and suppressed pirates, it seems that he is invincible and invincible. But that opponent is either a rogue pirate or a small country, no matter which side, in terms of overall strength, it can't be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, and the various resources it has are far more than the opponent, so as long as the strategy is correct and there are no major mistakes in tactics, it is not difficult to win.

And now what he will face is indeed a powerful country, and the overall strength of the Jin State is not below the Great Song Dynasty, and even stronger than the Great Song Dynasty in some aspects. Their soldiers are all strictly professional military training, have high quality, equipment and equipment are not worse than the Song army, and there are far more cavalry than the Great Song Dynasty, their generals have quite rich command experience and strength ability, far from Manichaeism, Dali, Jiaozhi kind of rabble can be compared. Moreover, the Yangtze River, which the Great Song Dynasty had always relied on to defend against the Jin army, also lost its effect because of the Jin army's naval raids.

And the man who planned and commanded this naval raid was a rare general. Yang Yan asked himself in his heart, this time he faced Yan Changzhi again, is there still a certainty of victory? Of course, this does not mean that Yang Yan is afraid of Wanyan Changzhi, and a kind of respect for a powerful opponent, in Yang Yan's heart, Wanyan Changzhi is undoubtedly such an opponent.

Yang Yan shook his head immediately, did he think too far, at the moment he tried his best to hold Chongde, and it was imperative to buy a few more days for the military and civilians in Lin'an to evacuate. In the future, let's talk about it when we retreat from Chongde to Longxing Mansion.

However, if you can still hold Chongde for a few days, can you safely evacuate? The Jin army is known for its cavalry and has always been good at pursuit and combat. His own 4,000 cavalry is easy to do, but what about the other Song troops stationed in Chongde, they are also elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can be of great use in the future against the Jin army, so they must find a way to let them all retreat safely. Also, how about Huzhou? There are Liu Bao and Wei Sheng stationed there, they can hold for a few days, is there a way to retreat safely? However, Wei Sheng is also experienced in a hundred battles, he is a very capable person, and he should have a way, while Liu Bao is a person, Yang Yan is not familiar with it, and he only knows that he was Han Shizhong's general......

Yang Yan was thinking about it, when he suddenly looked at the chaos in front of him, and saw a team of Song soldiers who were untidy and looked like a mess appeared in front.

Yang Yan was puzzled in his heart, and urged him to come immediately, saying, "You are the people and horses from there, who will the Lord be." ”

At this time, I only heard someone in the defeated army shouting: "Yang Concubine, are you Yang Concubine?" ”

Yang Yan followed the group and rushed to Yang Yan's horse. But this man was covered with blood and mud mixed with rain, and from where you came from. ”

The big man said: "Yang Yuma, it's really you, I'm Wei Jiao." ”
