"Father, what is it that is so anxious to enter the palace, and to bring Agnes into the palace?" As soon as Zhao Jia got into the carriage, he immediately asked Zhao Yan, and Agnes next to him also looked at Zhao Yan with some curiosity, speaking of which, she and Zhao Jia's son Zhao Hua have been staying in the capital, taught by Zhao Yan and Cao Ying personally, this time she didn't come back to get along with her son, but she was pulled into the palace together, which made her guess the purpose of the trip.

Hearing his son's inquiry, Zhao Yan glanced at Agnes, and then said to Zhao Jia: "There have been some changes in Europe, and you and Agnes already have children, according to legal theory, Agnes and Zhao Hua are the most orthodox heirs to the throne in Europe, so after consulting with your cousin, I decided to send a fleet to Europe to help Agnes regain the throne!" ”

"Europe! What's going on there? As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, Agnes asked a little anxiously, she didn't care much about the throne, but his father gave his life for the Holy Roman Empire, so she was also particularly concerned about the situation in Europe.

Compared with Agnes's excitement, Zhao Jia was silent at this time, because he knew that his father's words were not too clear, he had discussed with himself before, to control Europe in his own hands, so that he could also find a way back for his family, after all, now the power of the Yue Wangfu is getting heavier and heavier, even if Zhao Xu will not be suspicious now, but it is inevitable that his son and grandson will be suspicious in the future, so their father and son must prepare a safe retreat for the Yue Wangfu, and Europe is a good choice.

Seeing Agnes' excited look, Zhao Yan sighed, and then told her about the situation in Europe, especially her two elder brothers who fought for the throne, which caused Europe to be in war for many years. Even some of the smaller surrounding countries were implicated, and he specifically pointed out that the people of Europe were now nostalgic for the peaceful period of Henry IV's reign, and if Agnes could return to Europe at this time, he would definitely be able to use his father's prestige to rally a large number of followers, and it would not be particularly difficult to regain the throne.

I heard that the whole of Europe was in dire straits because of his two brothers. Agnes also showed a sad expression on her face, but at this time, Zhao Yan spoke again: "Agnes, the throne of the Holy Roman Empire should have been yours, if you want, I can send a fleet, and then Jia'er will lead it back to Europe to help you regain the throne, I don't know what you think?" ”

"I'm ......" Agnes heard Zhao Yan's suggestion, but there was a hesitant expression on her face. She is not an ambitious person, and even this successor to the throne was forced to her by her father before his death, from her heart, she is not very willing to be an emperor, and since marrying Zhao Jia, although she is not a wife, Zhao Jia is influenced by Zhao Yan and has always treated his wife and concubine equally. So she is very satisfied with her current life, and now she hears that she will give up her current peaceful life. When she went to Europe to compete for the throne, she couldn't get her idea for a while.

"Father, Agnes's personality is not very suitable for being an emperor, and she has no ambition for power, so let's talk to her directly about this matter, she should be able to understand!" At this time, Zhao Jia suddenly interjected. He knew that his father was worried that Agnes was greedy for power, so he refused to tell her the truth, only said to help her regain the throne, but did not tell her that even if he regained the throne, she and Zhao Jia's son Zhao Hua could only inherit the throne. In this way, it is more in line with the interests of the Yue Palace.

Hearing his son say this, Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment and finally spoke the truth, because he believed in his son's vision of people, since he said that Agnes had no ambition, then it would not hurt to tell her the truth, anyway, the throne is also her own son's, and it is also the Yue Wangfu, if she can understand and cooperate, it will also make this plan easier.

Agnes quietly listened to Zhao Yan's narration, especially Zhao Yan's arrangement of the throne and the importance of Europe to the Yue Palace, her face also slowly showed a sudden expression, after listening, she first looked at Zhao Jia next to her, and then turned her head to Zhao Yan and said: "Father, for the arrangement of the Holy Roman Throne, you don't have to care about my thoughts, in fact, my thoughts are very simple, I just hope to be able to accompany my husband all the time, everything is enough!" ”

When Agnes said the last sentence, she also bravely grabbed Zhao Jia's hand, which made Zhao Jia feel a little uncomfortable, after all, her father was still watching, but Zhao Yan smiled understandingly: "Agnes, thank you for your understanding, I am a little sorry for my concealment before!" ”

"Father is serious, you are also thinking about this family, I will definitely not blame you!" Agnes hurriedly spoke, but after saying this, she hesitated for a moment and said again, "Father, if Hua'er becomes the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, then Europe and the Great Song Dynasty will be a family, and then the Great Song Dynasty can help us more in Europe, such as the cultivation technology here, textile technology, etc., which are far more advanced than Europe, which can greatly improve the quality of life of the people, you must know that even during my father's reign, there are still many people in Europe who can't even eat their stomachs." ”

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, as long as they are willing to accept our rule, then we will naturally treat them as our own people, and we will definitely not treat them badly!" Zhao Yan immediately assured, of course, if some Europeans don't know how to raise and dare to resist them, then don't blame him for being polite.

Agnes's mind was simple, so she naturally didn't hear the other meaning of Zhao Yan's words, and thanked him very happily at the moment. Just as they were talking, the palace finally arrived, and Zhao Yan took Zhao Jia and Agnes to walk through the palace, among which Agnes entered the palace for the first time, and was also very curious about the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, she had watched the general layout of the palace from the hot air balloon before, but now she came to the palace in person and found that this palace was far larger than the palace when she was in Europe, and the building was more gorgeous and majestic.

Zhao Yan and the others soon came to the vertical arch hall, Zhao Xu also received the news at this time, and deliberately put down the fold and waited for them, when they saw Zhao Yan and them coming in, they immediately stepped forward and smiled: "Third uncle, eldest brother, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

Seeing Zhao Xu coming, Zhao Jia also smiled and said: "I was pulled into the palace by my father as soon as I returned to the capital, and I haven't even bothered to drink saliva yet!" ”

"Alright, don't complain to each other two, let's talk about business first, I already told Agnes about it when I was on the road just now, and she has no problem with it, now it's up to us to send troops!" Zhao Yan also interrupted with a smile at this time, he knew that Zhao Jia and Zhao Xu had a deep relationship, and if the two chatted, they would definitely have no time to talk about business.

Zhao Xu and Zhao Jia also smiled when they heard Zhao Yan's words, and then followed Zhao Yan to sit down in the vertical arch hall, while Agnes sat next to Zhao Jia, and then Zhao Xu spoke: "Big brother, since you and Her Royal Highness the European princess have already heard this matter from the third uncle, then I won't repeat it, this time I plan to send a huge fleet composed of twenty main warships, as well as various other auxiliary warships, to Europe, and then help Her Royal Highness the princess regain the throne!" ”

"Twenty capital warships! This...... Isn't that a bit much? Zhao Jia couldn't help but stand up in surprise when he heard this, as the captain of the main battleship of the navy, he naturally understood the horror of a main battleship, you must know that there are hundreds of guns on the battleship alone, and with the soldiers and materials on the ship, it is no exaggeration to say that the combat power exerted by a main battleship is enough to destroy a small country in the South Seas, of course, the cost of the main battleship is also very expensive, so Zhao Jia was so surprised when he heard that Zhao Xu had prepared twenty warships for himself.

"Not much, this is the first time we have arrived in Europe, so it is necessary to show the national strength of our Great Song Dynasty, in addition, the Holy Roman Empire is mainly a landlocked country, and the power at sea is not strong, if you want them to know our strength, it is not enough to rely on a few warships, there must be a sufficient number of troops, this time send so many warships, if necessary, you can also let the soldiers on the ship go ashore, dismantle the naval guns and enter the inland to fight, only by defeating the opposition forces in Europe with this crushing posture, can you successfully regain the throne!" Zhao Yan said indifferently at this time, although Zhao Jia is excellent, he has been staying at the grassroots level of the Navy for many years, and he is still a little deficient in the general direction of some strategies, so it is necessary to send an experienced person to assist him.

"The third uncle is right, this time is different from the previous wars, but our Great Song Dynasty, the largest expedition, and the object of conquest is still a big overseas country, so it is necessary to be foolproof, so there must be no ambiguity in the number of troops, if the road is too far away, and the supply transportation is too difficult, I am afraid I want to send more warships over." Zhao Xu also nodded in agreement at this time.

"Supplies? This is a big problem, and the amount of supplies needed for twenty warships is not a small amount, so how can this be solved then? Zhao Jia also suddenly thought of the problem of supply when he heard this, after all, such a large-scale fleet, and the distance is so long, it is impossible to rely only on the materials carried by the fleet itself, and there must be a supply fleet in the rear, but at such a long distance, it is too difficult to send the supply fleet over.
