Chapter 1447 State visit?!
With Zhao Zhen's disappearance, the Song Dynasty encountered the biggest crisis since its founding. The senior leaders of the Song army were already in a hurry. There was nothing more worrying than the disappearance of Zhao Zhen, the king of a country. Fortunately, the prince Zhao Xu was still in the army.
As Xiao Tali expected, the biggest problem in the Song army now emerged, whether to fight or break, the emperor has disappeared and may even die in battle. The prince is still in the army, and His Highness of the King of Wei is also in the army. In any case, the highest power is now concentrated in the hands of the prince Zhao Xu.
As the highest civil servant in the army, Wang He had begun to consider the issue of excessive state rights. In his eyes, there was nothing important for the prince to inherit the rights of the official family. He began to consider the worst, that is, the emperor was killed in battle or captured.
Of course there is no problem with death in battle. The most tragic result is the best result now. The prince successfully succeeded to the throne, became the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and continued to lead the Song Dynasty forward. If he was still captured, the problem would be big...
The emperors of the Song Dynasty had never had a precedent for being captured, and the Liao people even threatened them. As for what Xiao Tali would ask the Song Dynasty for the exchange for the official family, it might be possible, maybe it was Beijing Road or even worse, Yanyun Land.
No matter which one is at that time, the Song Dynasty cannot afford it. If a new king is established at this time, problems will follow one after another. How will Zhao Xu treat this problem? If it is replaced, then he is a sinner of the Song Dynasty. If it is not replaced, he is a disobedient and unfilial son. How can he inherit the throne?!
King Zhao Yun of Wei can take this name and take the opportunity to compete for the position of crown prince. The problems that are now in front of everyone are not good, only bad and even worse.
Everyone in the White Tiger Festival Hall had their own thoughts, and everyone had their own considerations. Wang He boldly expressed his thoughts, which was said in front of Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was not angry at all, looking at Zhao Xu and said, "You and I will fight each other. If the father is there, he would not want to see us fratricidal. In any case, I will only support you, but if the father is still in the Liao camp, you will not be called emperor and can only supervise the country!"
Zhao Yun's words made everyone feel relieved, but Wang He still said, "Why does the King of Wei feel that His Majesty is safe and sound in the Liao Camp?"
Zhao Yun smiled: "There is nothing else, only the father is the foundation of the immortal Liao Dynasty. If the Liao people dare to face each other with swords, our Song Dynasty will definitely raise an army to attack Liao, and we will never stop until death! The Liao people do not have the courage, and Xiao Tali does not have the courage to bet on the foundation of the Liao Dynasty!"
His words were deafening and made everyone realize, yes! Even if His Majesty was captured, he would not have any worries about his life. It was impossible for the Liao people to offer Zhao Zhen to prevent the Song Dynasty from exerting the whole country to attack Liao.
Wang He looked at Zhao Yun differently. At such a critical moment, only he thought of this, and his heart was calm, which was better than His Highness. On the other hand, Zhao Xu was really a little disappointed, which was displeasing!
But the most important question now is how to prove that the official is still alive, otherwise all this is just speculation, and no one will believe it, even if he is His Royal Highness of the King of Wei of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, Wang He felt that the most correct thing the prince did was to say nothing. The more he did, the more he made mistakes. Any words he said now will become a handle for the future, even Zhao Yun, the King of Wei, was the same.
But soon they didn't have to worry about whether Zhao Zhen was dead or alive. The Liao army sent an envoy, and the envoy with the jade pendant on Zhao Zhen's body, with only one purpose, to announce that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was in the Liao army's barracks. At the same time, in order to prove that he was still alive, an important official from the Song Dynasty was going to go as an envoy.
Everyone was really relieved. As long as His Majesty is alive, it would be better than anything else. Even the prince does not have the appeal of His Majesty. If he succeeds the throne now, there will be too many criticisms.
Therefore, in the White Tiger Festival Hall, everyone reached an agreement that not only blockade the entire army, but also blockade the entire Song Dynasty. But just in case, only the prince Zhao Xu and Cao Kang, the border guard of the Western Regions Protectorate, could return to the Song Dynasty, while the rest could only stay in the Western Regions Protectorate in Yizhou until the official family returned safely.
Xiao Manhui, who had no welcome to anyone and had to take him a little better attitude towards him, entered the military camp of the Song Dynasty and seemed to have opened the door to a new world. Everything here was so familiar and unfamiliar. Everything here was different from that of the Liao Dynasty. It was completely different from that of the world.
However, he was soon taken into the White Tiger Festival Hall, and even the sword on his body was confiscated, which made him very uncomfortable. However, he still picked up the jade pendant and went forward and said, "This is the jade pendant of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. I believe you should all recognize it. My Empress Dowager of the Great Liao Dynasty has an order to summon tens of millions of civil servants in the army to treat the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."
This is something that has never happened before, but everyone present knew the reason and understood the meaning. It was nothing more than Xiao Tali who wanted everyone to know that His Majesty was in the Liao Camp and was safe and sound.
As the highest civil official in the army, Wang He naturally took on the heavy responsibility, and he wouldn't feel at ease if it were someone else.
After checking the jade pendant, Wang He was able to confirm that it was something with the official family, and it was something that was carried close to his body. There would be no mistakes. Before going to war, he checked everything on Zhao Zhen. This was the rule of the state, just in case, so as to verify the correctness of his body. Unexpectedly, he actually used it.
The Liao army was in Gaochang City, or it should be Gaochang City of the Liao Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has not taken the Western Regions until now. Instead, the Liao Dynasty went to the front. When Wang He saw the emperor inspecting the Liao army, he was slightly stunned. Why didn’t he think that the official family was a prisoner of the Liao people, but was walking around the army like the commander of the Liao army?
Moreover, the Liao people did not restrict the freedom of the officials at all, so they allowed him to look at the left in the army and then there were Sancai and an old man dressed in the Liao Dynasty's internal officials who were serving him. This was not trapped, it was simply patrolling.
Xiao Manhui, who was beside her, had already blushed with embarrassment, and her heavy breathing was full of anger and helplessness. She snorted: "Your Majesty is here, I won't go!" After that, he shook his steps and left, with dust flying under his feet, and he didn't know what grudge this ground had with him...
But just seeing the official family safe and sound, Wang He breathed a sigh of relief. The scene in front of him made him relax. Yes! No matter where and where the official family is, he can be so calm.
He also entered the palace tent surrounded by the Liao army without any obstacles. Zhao Zhen seemed not surprised by his arrival, as if he had expected that he would appear: "It's true that you are here, it's not bad. Is the army still stable?"
Wang He hesitated a little: "Your Majesty Liao people actually asked me to come, it's really..."
"Unexpected, right? If you follow common sense, you can only let you see from afar that I am still there, but now it's not clear, because Xiao Tali must have won me... Let's withdraw my troops! Xiao Tali won this game, but it doesn't mean she won everything. The chess has just begun, so it's still unknown who can laugh to the end."
Zhao Zhen paused for a moment, patted Wang He on the shoulder and said, "Tell me clearly that I am on a state visit in the Liao Dynasty. If I am surprised, I can command troops to fight in the north. I am looking forward to this day, but unfortunately, Xiao Tali will not give her a chance... It's a pity! Oh, right! Don't let someone rescue me. I will return to the court in a while, and I will return to the court next time under the escort of the Liao people."
Wang He left dizzyly. From beginning to end, he felt that the official family was too calm and casual, but he didn't understand... what is a state visit?
Chapter completed!
