C90 Before ascending the throne

It was already deep into the night, yet Zhao Chen had not fallen asleep, and was reading under the lamp!

He was reading Cao Cao's "New Book of Meng De", which recorded Cao Cao's military strategy! Cao Cao had battled south for 30 years, and his military prowess was extremely high. He had written many military books, and this "New Monde Book" was one of the most famous of them all!

Zhao Chen was now just a puppet prince, with nothing to do, he could use this time to read a few books to improve himself! This was also a way to accumulate strength! Before he completely defeats Zhe Keqiu, he will use all kinds of methods to slowly accumulate his strength! In the future, even if he defeated Zhe Keqiu, he would still need to slowly accumulate strength and go all the way up. Only then would he be able to shoulder the heavy national responsibility!

At that moment, a report came in from the outside!

"Come in!" Zhao Chen said indifferently.

Wang Gui walked into the room, knelt in front of Zhao Chen, and said: "This subordinate did not complete his mission, and asks that the crown prince punish me!"

"Brother Wang, please get up!" Curved End, isn't he willing to rely on us? " Zhao Chen said.

"Yes sir!" Wang Gui stood up and said.

"If he doesn't want to join us, then forget it! It's good to have his help, but we're also afraid that the front door will be blocked! Without his help, we can still defeat Zhe Keqiu in the future and control the Song Dynasty! " Zhao Chen said indifferently.

After going through countless trials and tribulations, Zhao Chen's heart had become more and more tenacious! As far as he was concerned, any difficulties now were but a small obstacle in his path! He could borrow the strength of others to destroy obstacles, or he could use his own strength to destroy obstacles! It was true that the Curved End was strong, but without the Curved End, he could still defeat Zhe Keqiu! Only, it might take a little longer!

Wang Gui had already retreated, but he remained calm in his heart, as he continued to read in his room.

Zhao Chen closed the book and went to sleep!

On the second day, just as the sky brightened, Zhao Chen had already woken up!

At this moment, he was practicing his sword in front of the Dry Clear Palace!

His sword stabbed forward again and again. The sword technique was very slow, but the power contained within it was extremely strong!

"The King's Death! A king is a kingdom, and he shall be with it! With the Land of Nations gone, what is the meaning of the king alive? "

This move was from the Grand Righteous Sword Style, 'The Sovereign King dies in the World'. This meant that the Sovereign King and the World King shall live and die together! According to what was said, Song Huizong and the Song Chin Zong had lost their Kaifeng City and their land, but they had not died with the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Instead, they were struggling at the feet of the Nvzhen. They could not even compare to the Emperor Chong Zhen of the Ming Dynasty. After he broke his throne in Beijing, he would rather hang himself at the coal mountain than surrender to Li Zicheng!

His sword aura became increasingly heavy, as though this sword did not rely solely on his strength, but the power of the entire River Mountain Society, relied on the wishes of millions of citizens in the Song Dynasty! This was the true meaning behind the death of the Sovereign King!

In the past, when Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts were at its peak, the sword technique he created was exceptionally subtle! Only by comprehending the true meaning of the sword technique would one be able to unleash the power of the sword technique! So, from last year, when Zhao Chen started learning martial arts, until now, he had not truly mastered Grand Righteous Sword Style! He was only a crown prince and not a Son of Heaven, and even if he became the Son of Heaven, if he could not reach Zhao Kuangyin's mental realm back then, and was unable to understand Zhao Kuangyin's overbearing aura back then, he would not be able to unleash the true might of the Grand Righteous Sword Style!

After practicing for two hours, Zhao Chen finally stopped.

At this moment, he felt refreshed. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he returned to the Dry Clear Palace!

After a while, Zhe Keqiu, Li Gang, along with Curved End, Wang Shu and the others came to Dry Clear Palace, and paid respects to Zhao Chen!

Zhao Chen looked like he didn't know what happened last night, he was full of smiles as he looked at Curved End.

"General, you have travelled a thousand miles from the northwest! "It's been hard on you!" Waiting until everyone was seated, Zhao Chen laughed.

"I don't dare! Not hard! Back then when I was fighting with Western Xia, I was able to support them from Jing Road for thousands of miles. Afterwards, I travelled hundreds of miles from the Yan'an Road to enter Western Xia's territory and fought countless battles with them. Curved End said.

"The world knows of the general's hero! Can the general tell me about the war? " Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness, if you are willing to listen, this lowly general can only wish for you!" The Curved End laughed.

Immediately, Curved End started to talk about the war, Zhao Chen listened on with relish. When Curved End finished speaking, Zhao Chen said, "General is currently in the Plains, so you should have a lot of difficulties, right?"

Curved End replied: It's not that difficult, it's just that we are short of food! The primordial era was very desolate, and the population was also very limited. As a result, relying on his own cultivation to grow crops could not satisfy the needs of the hundred thousand Jingyuan Army s! Since the invasion of Jin Army last year, our Jing Road had not received any military rations for half a year! Fortunately, we still have some food left, but we're running out of food right now! "

Zhao Chen laughed: General, do not worry. Previously, Master Li and the Master Fold already told me that they have transferred 300 thousand stones from the Chuan Shu to the army and that they will send them all to the Plains!

When the Curved End heard this news, she was overjoyed. "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, my lords!"

Zhao Chen said: "Your Jingyuan Army protects the borders, we naturally have to give you the military rations! Master Li and the Master Fold also said that they want me to grant you the position of throttling! "In addition, you will also hold the position of the Mastermind in Shaanxi Province!"

Last night, when Wang Gui went to see the Curved End, he said that the Curved End would be given the position of "secret envoy". However, since the Curved End was unwilling, Zhao Chen didn't bring up this matter anymore!

However, "Pingyuan throttling" and "Shaanxi Proclamation and Emissary" can also be considered as important duties! In the Song Dynasty, the throttling was the highest position that could be reached by soldiers, but in the Song Dynasty, the throttling was only an honorable position, which was very different from the Tang Dynasty! Announcement was to manage the military and civilian affairs of Shaanxi Province! Of course, half of Shaanxi province was occupied by the Nvzhen, the other half was dilapidated and desolate, but this position still held a high position!

Curved End's face carried an expression of joy, and she once again said: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you!"

Zhao Chen said: "You guys have been in Middle Han Area for the past few days, if you have any difficult matters, you can go and find me or Master Li immediately! We will try our best to settle this for you! "

Curved End said: "Yes!"

Everyone discussed for a long time until noon. Only after Zhao Chen gave the guests a banquet and Curved End and the others finished their meal did they leave the Han Palace!

After the Curved End and Wang Shu left the Han palace, the Curved End spoke as he walked, "This crown prince is indeed different from the others! It was very different from an ordinary teenager! Wang Shu, do you think so? "

Wang Shu nodded his head, and said: "Your highness, the crown prince is an old man, he has an easygoing personality, and does not put on any airs! Not only was he very different from an ordinary teenager, he was also very different from an ordinary member of the royal family! It was impossible for ordinary royal members to do this! I heard from that person yesterday that the Crown Prince is tough. I observed him today, and although the Crown Prince is gentle on the surface, his eyes are looking over occasionally. There is indeed a trace of unspeakable determination in his eyes! This was the appearance of a wise king! It looks like we didn't just underestimate the crown prince previously, Zhe Keqiu also seems to have also underestimated the crown prince when he's with the crown prince everyday! General, think about it carefully. Do you want to follow and be loyal to the crown prince? "

Curved End shook her head, and said: "I only want food! With military rations, my one hundred thousand Jingyuan Army can live on! As for what kind of person the crown prince is, whether or not he can defeat Zhe Keqiu, I don't care at all! Don't ever mention these words again! "

Wang Shu sighed softly and nodded!

The Curved End walked forward with large strides. Wang Shu followed behind him but he was still thinking about his own matters!

"The more I look at the crown prince, the more he looks like an enlightened ruler of a generation. The crown prince is currently extremely weak, this is the perfect time to turn to him!" It was a pity that the general was unwilling to submit to the crown prince! I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for me to get in touch with the crown prince myself! However, Zhe Keqiu wanted to seize the heavens and order the dukes, so at that time, he would definitely expel all of the Crown Prince's trusted aides! At that time, I can contact the trusted aides by the side of the crown prince, especially Li Gang! "

"The general is unwilling to join the crown prince, but he still has countless deputy generals and deputy generals under his command. At that time, I will offer the entire Jingyuan Army up to the crown prince as my stepping stone for Wang Shu! "

Wang Shu's expression changed endlessly.

At the moment, in the palace, Zhao Chen was looking up at the sky. It was already the second day of the seventh month, and he was getting closer and closer to the throne!
