Chapter 703: Chaos in the Liao Dynasty

The people of Xijin Prefecture have become accustomed to the Song Dynasty lifestyle, working four hours a day and having three meals a day. This lifestyle is consistent with the hard work in the hearts of the Han people, but at the same time, it also has appropriate rest time, which makes people unable to help getting used to it.

After drinking a bowl of authentic soup and tea medicine in the morning, you will be energetic. The process of boiling tea is never sloppy. The longer the time for boiling tea, the better the taste. First, boil the tea with charcoal fire, light it in cold water, boil the tea again, and then light it in cold water. Only by clicking it three times can you achieve the effect of good color, fragrance and taste. However, this kind of tea is only suitable for those who are leisurely.

People who are in a hurry to go to the factory to work have no time to enjoy this kind of health-preserving tea, but take their children who have already gone to the academy to have breakfast, or a bowl of fragrant bone soup wontons, or a meat pie with oil.

This is a day for the people of Shijin Prefecture. Here you can even see all the shops and shops in Tokyo, and even the trampled land is no exception. The famous brothels and tiles are everywhere. The prosperous streets are not weaker than those in Tokyo. However, the only difference is that the number of people on the streets of Shijin Prefecture is far less than that of Tokyo, and it is not as crowded.

But everyone knows that there will be more and more people in Xijin Prefecture, and even the widest streets will not be enough. The reason is very simple. There are more factories outside Xijin Prefecture, and people are turning from all directions every day. There will be more merchants, and there will be trade, and more trade will naturally bring population.

The factory requires a large number of workers. As long as you have the imperial household registration, you can settle in Xijin Prefecture again for only 30 cents. Yes, Xijin Prefecture is now the only city in the Song Dynasty that can accept people from other places to settle in without limits. However, over time, the population reaches a certain number, Xijin Prefecture will stop settling down. At that time, it will be more difficult to settle in Xijin Prefecture than climbing to the sky.

After Zhao Zhen's carriage entered the gate of Xijin Prefecture, it slowly slowed down its speed. A red and black fork appeared on the road, which divided the road into different areas. Although the road was very wide, it had been occupied. Xia Shu and Bao Zheng had led many officials from Xijin Prefecture to greet them at the gate. The guards on the city wall were also dressed neatly and had complete armor. The flag representing the Great Song Dynasty's Huode was erected high.

The lives of the people have been disturbed by this sudden change, but no one complains about the city gate being occupied, but stands respectfully on both sides of the road.

"Welcome to your Majesty!"

As Xia Shu spoke, the civil and military officials behind him bowed down the mountain and shouted long live. Crack... Crack... The defenders in the city knelt on one knee and shouted: "Majestic!" This is the only etiquette in the army that is different from officials. With the mighty and mighty army power, the ritual of the emperor, the only thing that is the Song Dynasty has been like this in ancient times!

As the sound spread, the entire Xijin Prefecture was boiling, and the onlookers shouted excitedly: "Long live my emperor!" The name of Long Live has become a special noun for the emperor since the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. As long as the sound of Long Live sounds, how can the people not know that this is the emperor's arrival? So the entire Xijin Prefecture heard the sound of Long Live sound, and the sound waves were higher than the waves and spread far away from all directions.

This is the basic etiquette of meeting the emperor. The Song Dynasty did not kneel down and worshipped the people. The people just need to bow and stand up. It is obvious that in the Song Dynasty, there was basically the respect of the superiors to others. Zhao Zhen raised his hand and raised his mouth slightly: "Face the body!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Following Zhao Zhen's words, the people raised their backs, which was the most common thing in the Song Dynasty. Even the Liao Dynasty would not force the Han people to kneel down to the emperor.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and the eunuch on the side walked up to the person and shouted loudly: "Each person does his job and does his job!"

As the eunuch said, some of the onlookers dispersed, and they had to rush to work in the factory they set up. After all, it was not bad to work less for one day and get less wages for one day, but some people were unwilling to leave. It was rare to have a look at the beauty of heaven, so why not take a good look?

There is always a shortage of people watching the fun in the Song Dynasty... Zhao Zhen really couldn't drive away these people, after all, they didn't do anything. Now he finally knew that the emperor was sometimes very distressed, and it was really uncomfortable to be watched by others on the spot.

Xia Shun and Bao Zheng both knew the emperor's depression, but they did not intend to intervene. It would be no harm to let the people see the emperor more, and they would not see it for long.

After Zhao Zhen passed the palace wall of Xijin Prefecture, Xia Feng stepped forward and said, "I started the official family and the news came from the Liao Dynasty to Beijing. Yelu Chongyuan's intention was moved!" After that, he handed over a small scroll of paper. The scroll was only the size of a little finger, but it was densely filled with words, which could be said to be small regular script for fly heads.

But there is a stormy news between the lines of the fly-headed small regular script. Yelu Chongyuan has already obtained the support of many important officials of the Liao Dynasty, and his identity as a crown prince is even more openly brought out to restrain the imperial concubine.

Although it was thousands of miles apart, Zhao Zhen could feel the terrifying step by step from Song Xiaoyi's words. Unexpectedly, Yelu Chongyuan gathered together a group of old ministers so quickly, and what Zhao Zhen did not expect was that the imperial concubine Xiao Talin actually had an extremely elite palace tent army in his hands. This is also the reason why Yelu Chongyuan dared not rob the throne blatantly.

Zhao Zhen handed the note to Xia Su to burn it, and sighed at the clouds torn to pieces by the wind in the sky.

Like himself, Yelu Zongzhen also left a life-saving trump card for the women in Shangjing before the imperial army... This trump card bought Xiao Talin precious time. Otherwise, before Xiao Hui and Zhang Jian's 100,000 troops arrived in Shangjing, the orphan and widowed mother would die tragically under the butcher knife of the coup. It seems that even Yelu Zongzhen made the worst plan before going to the battle. To put it nicely, it is called planning ahead, and to put it badly, it is a serious suspicion, which is probably a common problem for all emperors...

From this small note, Zhao Zhen understood that Yelu Chongyuan and the throne had basically no hope. Even if he gathered the important officials in the court, it would be useless. In this era, whoever controls military power in his hands would have everything.

The division of forces in Shangjing City is too obvious. If Yelu Chongyuan had raised an army and rebelled when he learned that Yelu Zongzhen had just died in battle, there was still hope. Now the situation has been settled, and the peace has been restored between Song and Liao, and the 100,000 troops besieged in Datong Prefecture are also heading to Shangjing Road, as long as the imperial concubine Xiao Tali can hold on until Xiao Hui arrives.
