After settled Xixia, the river was temporarily worry-free, and there was one enemy and one more ally. Resuming trade was also a matter of mutual benefit. As for the benefit of the Xixia, the next plan for both sides was to remove it from the Jurchens.

The camp was completely separated, and the loyal and brave army could also feel at ease to move north, so there was no need to worry about Xixia making trouble behind him.

Zhao Jie completed two major events. It was already early autumn, the weather was getting colder, and it was time for autumn harvest. The guard brigades had arrived in Shuozhou one after another to gather and began to rest and train, and the loyal and brave army was also preparing to move.

Shimo ordered Zhang Ting's scout team to cooperate with the special forces to start pre-war reconnaissance and prepare for counterattack against the Tatars. After the Zhongyong Army completed its relocation, it began to attack the Jin army in Tiande and Yunnei.

At this moment, an astonishing news came - the chaos in the Hezhong period. After hearing the news that the prince had become an immortal, the people and the soldiers and civilians of the prefectures did not believe it, and believed that the prince died at the hands of the treacherous court, especially those who surrendered in the past

The foreign tribe responded the most, expelled court officials, refused to pay tribute, and broke away from the court's control...

"Li Jun, what's going on? Is it because someone secretly inciting it?" Zhao Qi asked Li Jun, who rushed to report the situation.

"Prince, my subordinates have roughly investigated this matter, and no one from us participated in it. It should be the spontaneous act of the people!" Li Jun looked at the prince and replied.

"Is anyone in the army trying to use this to incite?" Zhao Qi asked again.

"Prince, the soldiers in the army were excited after hearing that the prince had an accident, but fortunately, the senior generals in the army knew the truth and tried their best to comfort them, but there was no trouble. It was not a long-term solution!" Li Jun said truthfully.

"Li Jun. Tell me in detail about the whole story!" Zhao Qi thought for a while and said, "This matter is of great importance. If the turmoil in the river is a big trouble for him.

"Yes, the prince. The matter was caused by the imperial court's issuance of the 'Observation of Eternal Life'..." Li Jun said.

It turned out that after Zhao Qiong left in the capital in a unique way of "flying away", it was widely rumored in the capital that the King of Qin was tired of the struggles in the world because of the persecution of the emperor and the treacherous ministers in the court. He had no choice but to abandon the world and ascend to the Song Dynasty and no longer protect the Song Dynasty.

People's words are terrifying. In order to calm the public's grievances, Zhao Huan may have felt guilty, so he issued an order to make all prefectures and counties across the country build the "Visit of Eternal Life" to worship the King of Qin.

The purpose was to arrive in Hezhong in June, which can be said to be Zhao Qiong's old base. Not only did the Dangxiang ministries that he recruited, but there were also Hedong archers and civilians who came from Hedong to join him in the west to leave farms and guard the border, and there were also the southeast.

After the civil war, all the refugees who came here to take refuge in the asylum had received the favor of the prince. After hearing the news, they all mourned. It took only ten days for various places to build the Vision of Eternal Life to worship the prince. The incense is endless day and night, and many people

The portrait of the prince was even hung at home to commemorate him.

The situation was quite calm during this period, but the river had become an important trade route. There were many caravans back and forth, so they brought the rumors from the capital to the river. The rumors that the prince was forced to death by the emperor quickly spread throughout the country.

The people in this place in the river have always had the spirit of rebellion, not to mention the Fan tribe who dared to rebel against the court. Even the "rebels" in the river were in order to avoid the pursuit of the government during the Southeast civil war.

After the Southeast Rebellion, Zhao Qi sent people to the Southeast to "invest investment" to attract refugees into the river. After these people who were squeezed and lifted up by the government, tens of thousands of people arrived in the river. The prince not only took them in,

And they built a new village for them, built a house and distributed fields, gave them grain, cattle, seeds, and helped them settle down and buy property. After six or seven years, Hill lived a stable and prosperous life in the northwest.

People who don’t forget to dig wells when they eat water. They know that these are mostly due to the prince’s gifts, but they don’t have much feelings for the court, and they are even full of hatred. Naturally, there are princes in their hearts but no court. Now they hear that the prince has been framed to death, and the old hatred is old

Amid hatred, a frenzy started. First, the border residents who were busy farming in Lingzhou were beaten and expelled officials sent by the court and destroyed the official offices. This trend quickly swept across the country.

The more the matter is getting worse, some officials advocate sending troops to suppress, but they are rejected by Zhao Ren. The prefects of Lingzhou, Youzhou, Xiazhou and other states, either from the royal palace or have been promoted by the prince, dealing with this issue

The attitude is naturally ambiguous. I thought it was appropriate to be pacified rather than suppression. I just gave the list to calm the people and did not send out a soldier. Now, not only did the foreign tribes in Hezhong refuse to pay tribute and drive away the officials sent by the court, but the people refuse to pay taxes, but this trend has already

Spread to Hedong...

After Li Jun said this, Zhao Qi basically understood that the things in Hezhong were caused by the people's rebellion for him. Under the tolerance and indulgence of his confidants, the matter became increasingly serious, which led to Hezhong's fall into

Anarchism has now shown signs of independent separatism in various places.

"What is the reaction of the court now?" Zhao Qi asked with a smile.

"After the urgent report was sent to the court, the court issued an edict to ask Zhao Ren to send troops to suppress the troops. He asked the court to distribute food and pay first and then send troops on the grounds of lack of food and pay. Later, the court lost the following information. It was thought that the court was short of money and soldier.

He was powerless to look west!" Li Jun said carefully as he looked at the prince's smile.

"Hmph, I also said you didn't participate!" Zhao Qi said with a cold snorting.

"Prince, we are indeed not involved in this matter. It is definitely the people who do it spontaneously!" Li Jun looked at the prince's face and sank down and hurriedly defended.

"You are not involved in this matter, but if the matter had just started, they would report it early, and Zhao Ren and others would not have made such a fuss. It was obvious that they deliberately indulged in this situation, which is difficult to deal with now!" Zhao Qi said angrily.

.

"The prince is clearly aware, but his subordinates are dereliction of duty. He really didn't expect that things would develop so quickly. It's really arousing public opinion, like a fire of prairie fire!" Li Jun hurriedly apologized as he looked at the prince's expression.

"Hmph, what should I do now? Although Xijing is temporarily stable, it is still financially tight and cannot support the war at all. It still needs to rely on the income support of Hezhong. Now a chaos in the river will inevitably affect business. I just agreed to Brother Cha, and I will pay attention to it.

It is difficult to achieve the business road now, and it is even more isolated from the connection between the two places. How to solve it?" Zhao Qi asked while slapped the table.

"Don't calm down. Now that the situation in the river is like this, we might as well go with the flow..." Li Jun and other princes finished their anger and said carefully.

"Oh, how can you follow the trend?" Zhao Qie sat down and asked.

"Prince, the whole country is in love with the prince. Now the situation has been completed. At this time, as long as we stir up a little, we can win over the people, leave the court, and return to the prince's command. Not only will the business not be affected, but the tax will also belong to us.

It is a good thing that has all the benefits but no harm!" Li Jun came forward and continued tea for the prince and said.

"If you make a fool of yourself, you will make enemies on all sides. As long as the Song Dynasty cuts off the roads in the Hezhong, we will lose the huge market of the Song Dynasty. Where will salt and horses be sold, and where will tea and silk come from? Even if they do not block the access roads, they will only set up a question.

In the transaction, the caravan cannot travel everywhere, and the tariffs have already eaten up our profits. At that time, the finance and taxation were not too much, but less, and we would lose the opportunity to obtain talents and population from the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Qi heard this and heard this!

Even more angry, pointing at Li Jun, yelling, Xijing was already in isolation, and Hezhong is now an important channel for communication with the Song Dynasty. With this base, all kinds of needs will be continuously imported into Xijing. If it is supporting,

More will be lost.

"Prince, my subordinates are inappropriate in their considerations. Please atone for the sins!" Li Jun was sweating coldly. The prince had a lofty vision, more than they had seen. This time he came here to lobby the prince at the request of Zhao Ren and others, hoping to turn the river into the river.

The incorporation into Xijing did not take into account the strategic loss.

"Oh, fortunately, you didn't act rashly and could still make remedies, otherwise it would ruin the results of our years of hard work!" Looking at Li Jun's appearance, Zhao Qiong sighed and said, knowing that he was not the one involved in it.

Everyone is kind-hearted, but it is a bad thing to be eager to achieve success. This kind of yellow robe-like game cannot be played at any time. The actors always tamper with the script and play it themselves. Why do they want him, the director and producer?

"What can the prince do to stabilize the situation in the river quickly?" Li Jun asked when he saw the prince's expression slowing down a little, wiping his sweat...

Zhao Qiong compiled several letters to Zhao Ren, Xu Hong, Yeli and Lei Mai overnight, so that they could quickly calm the people, calm the rumors, restore the regime, and let Li Jun plan to spread the news, hinting to the people that the prince was not dead, but

The immortal descended to Xijing Datong and became king, and continued to fight with the Jurchens, protecting the people in Hedong and the people in the Hezhong.

Li Jun then quickly returned to the river and handed the prince's hand to several people, explaining the prince's recent situation and arrangements. However, he was also very talented and followed the prince's example and made a "view of immortality" in Xiazhou.

A large-scale performance of the Book of Spirits and Suspension was very effective. It not only quickly stabilized the people's hearts, but also took the opportunity to convey the prince's meaning. The storm quickly disappeared.

Zhao Ren was not stupid either. Then this episode quickly joined forces with several prefects to report that the turmoil in the river had subsided, but it caused a large number of border residents to flee. Now the people's hearts are unstable. Please send officials to the court to come and pacify to calm the people's hearts. But now the court is now

The ministers in Zhong were all afraid to go to Hedong and Hebei to serve as officials. When they heard that they were going to Hezhong, the war with Xixia was not over, and civil unrest occurred. No one was willing to come, so they ordered Zhao Ren to be the pacifier of Hezhong Road and were exempted from the

Hezhong has two years of taxation.

At the same time, the court dismissed Xu Hong, Wang Jin and others who were not good at doing things, and ordered them to be punished and returned to the capital. Zhao Ren also found a good reason to wait for the autumn harvest to be over. As soon as the autumn harvest ended, he ordered the generals of the loyal and brave army and the original.

A large number of grains were crossed to Xijing to meet the prince, and he stayed in the river and thought he was in the inner circle... (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
