The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1036 Letter from Fuzhou
Kong Qiangu took Qi Wulie and other experts from Bauhinia Villa to Wuding Hall.

Feng Hebi, Duan Shi and other Dali surrendered generals were taken away by Eunuch Liu and settled in the palace for the time being.

Zhao Dongting didn't even have time to take a bath, so he was dragged by Le Chan to the imperial study.

While on the way, Le Chan said to him happily: "Your Majesty, two days ago, Kublai Khan, the monarch of the Yuan Dynasty, sent a letter asking for peace."

"Oh?"

Zhao Dongting couldn't help showing a look of surprise, "So the Yuan Dynasty asked for peace?"

This was indeed quite beyond his expectation.He originally thought that the Yuan Dynasty should be able to persist for a while longer.

It seems that Kublai Khan was under a lot of pressure in the court.

After all, over the years, too many soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were killed in the Great Song Dynasty.

Le Chan nodded, and then said: "Marshal Su had a great victory in Jiangling Mansion and killed Yeluzhu's army. The Yuan army has never made any progress outside Ezhou, Longxing Mansion and Jianning Mansion. , of course will ask for a peace.”

In front of Zhao Dongting, her face was no longer the expression of coldness that she had in the usual times.

At this moment, she only raised her neck, as if she was a little girl waiting for praise.The rosy lips exude an attractive luster.

Zhao Dongting was really surprised, "I didn't expect you, Chan'er, to be in power for only a short period of time, and you can even analyze wars so clearly."

"That is."

Le Chan cast a charming glance at Zhao Dongting.

Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi and others who followed the two were completely ignored and could only smile wryly in their hearts.

Le Chan continued: "After receiving the peace request from the Yuan Dynasty, I immediately sent a letter to Changle County to ask Lian Jiedu envoy and Huang An envoy to cease fighting with the Yuan army. Do you think it is appropriate?"

Although she knew that Zhao Dongting should be inclined to accept the peace negotiation, and this matter was discussed with Lu Xiufu and others.But in the end, Zhao Dongting's consent was still not obtained, and now it is necessary to confirm Zhao Dongting's thoughts.

"appropriate!"

Zhao Dongting only grinned, "It's very appropriate. We have very few soldiers in Changle County, the sooner the truce, the better."

He couldn't help holding Le Chan's hand in his palm, and said again: "I'm not in the palace these days, I've suffered for you."

Le Chan shook her head lightly, but did not speak.

Bitterness is definitely bitter.

But of course she wouldn't say it.

She is willing to do this for Zhao Dongting.Just because they are husband and wife.

To the royal study.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Dongting couldn't help but sighed softly, turned around and said to Lu Xiufu and the others: "My dear friends, you have worked hard too."

There are several thick stacks of memorials and secret letters on the desk in the room.

From this alone, one can imagine how heavy things Le Chan and Lu Xiufu have to deal with these days.

"Sharing the emperor's worries is the duty of a minister."

Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi, Zhang Shijie, Wang Wenfu and others all bowed and saluted again and again.

Zhao Dongting didn't care that he was covered in dust, so he went directly to the bed and sat down.

Le Chan sat next to him, and said: "I have reviewed these letters and memorials, you can read them again."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly.

Then, the imperial study room was silent for tens of minutes.

The contents of each secret letter and memorial are varied.

It is about the situation of suppressing rioters in various provinces.

There are members of the Wuding Hall who enshrine the chaotic sects of the Qing Dynasty.

There are also all kinds of officials from various places either impeaching or offering advice.

And these, Zhao Dongting just swept over them hastily.

Only a few confidential letters caught his attention.

Xuanxue reported that Gao Manshan, Guan Shu and others have all been arrested and brought to justice these days, and they have obtained conclusive evidence that they can be convicted.

The Zhang Shijie Supervision Office also found many officials related to the riots in various places.

In addition, Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun led the army to Yiling on Jinghu North Road, and they continued to move towards Jiangling Mansion, which was not too far away.

Zheng Yihang led the Tianmeng army to Dedazhou and joined Du Hu's army.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu led the Flying Dragon Army from Linjiang to Chenzhou, Jiangbei Road, and continued to march to Changsha.

Yue Peng led the Tiankui army to Yuanling in Dechen Prefecture, which was close to the border of Jingnan South Road.

This was originally arranged by Zhao Dongting.

At that time, he never thought that the war in northern Xinjiang could turn around in such a short period of time.Su Quandang won a big victory, and the Yuan Dynasty hurriedly sought peace.

Besides these, there is also a letter from Skynet.

The New Song Army has successfully borrowed from Xixia, and has now reached the depths of Delizhou East Road.

It was not until he had read all these letters carefully that Zhao Dongting raised his head slowly and said, "What do you love Qings think about the Yuan Dynasty's request for peace?"

The Deputy Commander Su Liuyi immediately stood up when he heard the words, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that since the Emperor sent Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei and other generals to attack Dali, we should agree to the Yuan Dynasty to seek peace at this time. When Dali is destroyed, the new Song Dynasty , it will not be too late to compete with the Yuan Dynasty."

What he said was "ministers and others", obviously he had already discussed this matter with Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong and others.

If not, Le Chan would not pass on the imperial decree to let Huang Hua and others in Changle County cease fighting with the Yuan army.

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "I think so too."

Then he picked up the peace letter from the Yuan Dynasty on the desk, and said: "On this letter, the Yuan Dynasty did not say when they would withdraw their troops. Is there a letter from Ezhou, Longxing Mansion, and Jianning Mansion?"

Su Liuyi replied: "Not yet, I think it will take time to prepare for the retreat of the Yuan army!"

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly.

He still had some doubts in his heart, fearing that the Yuan Dynasty was falsely seeking peace.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Dongting said again: "Since that's the case, for the time being, let the imperial guards everywhere not take it lightly. Wait until the Yuan army withdraws."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Le Chan, and asked, "Chan'er, have you replied to Yuan Chao's letter?"

Le Chan shook her head with a smile and said, "You haven't come back, we don't dare to make up our own minds about such things."

Zhao Dongting smiled, then looked at Su Liuyi, Lu Xiufu and the others, "What conditions do you think should be proposed to the Yuan Dynasty?"

Lu Xiufu stood up and replied without hesitation: "The old minister begs the emperor to let the Yuan Dynasty return all the lost lands of the Song Dynasty!"

This is their long-cherished wish.

Even until now, the land of Song Dynasty is still incomplete.

On the west side, Xinsong occupies Tongchuanfu Road and Chengdufu Road.

On the border of Xixia, there are Xixia occupying Lizhou West Road and Lizhou East Road.

At the border between Song and Yuan, there are Liangzhe East Road, Liangzhe West Road, Jiangnan East Road, Huainan West Road, and Huainan East Road, all of which are still in the hands of the Yuan Dynasty.

And these were originally the territories of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In particular, Liangzhe West Road, which was occupied by the Yuan Dynasty, etc., used to be the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin'an, and was the economic and political center of the entire Southern Song Dynasty at that time.

The area of ​​these roads is not large, but the land is fertile and the people's livelihood is rich.In the Southern Song Dynasty, the significance is very far-reaching.

Zhao Dongting was not surprised at what Lu Xiufu said.

He knew that Lu Xiufu and others would say that, and even he himself meant it in his heart.

It's just that he still has a little worry in his heart.

Although it is true that Su Quandang defeated the Yuan army in Jiangling Mansion, on the Song-Yuan border, the Yuan army still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are in a stalemate with the Great Song Imperial Army.

Especially in Fuzhou, Ashu led an army of [-] to attack Changle County. Zhao Dongting didn't know what the situation was like now.

He also has no way of knowing whether A Xinghuang and Lu Yingcai will lead the army to Changle County in time.

If he replied to Yuan Chao like this, it would be tantamount to digging flesh from Yuan Chao. Would Kublai Khan be willing to agree?
Will he choose to take the risk, simply refuse to seek peace, and continue to fight Da Song?
While Zhao Dongting was thinking, the eunuch's shrill voice suddenly sounded outside the room, "Your Majesty, Yi Shiyu and Eunuch Yi are asking to see you."

"Enter."

Zhao Dongting said to the outside.

Yi Shiyu pushed open the door and walked in.

He held the letter in his hand.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhao Dongting wearing a brocade robe, he was stunned for a moment, then he knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, two letters from flying pigeons have arrived in Fuzhou."

"Bring it up!"

Zhao Dongting waved his hand at Yi Shiyu.

Yi Shiyu got up quickly, and handed the two letters to the desk in front of Zhao Dongting.

The eyes of Su Liuyi, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and others also fell on the letter.

Flying pigeons in Fuzhou send messages...

Could it be that something happened in Fuzhou?

If Huang Hua and the others were the only ones to lead the decree to cease fighting with the Yuan army, there is really no need to reply to Changsha specifically, and there are two letters.
