Chapter 784: Unexpected Changes

On the sixth day of the sixth day of the fourth year of Yonghe, Quanzhou people got up very early on this day. As soon as dawn was dawn, the streets were already crowded.

In the Wanguo Exhibition Hall, there were crowds of people, and countless merchants began to enter after paying a certain amount of silver. The so-called exhibition hall was divided into several areas, including specialized in displaying Buddha statues, including textile machines, iron art, calligraphy and albums, and even gathering areas such as merchant ships and horse carriages.

However, these things are of course not retail, but are mainly for customers to order. First, check out the sample goods. If you feel satisfied, you can customize them and pay a deposit.

Chen Ao and Zhao Ji were mixed in the crowd. Because Zhao Ziheng was a female family member and had many inconveniences, she had to place her in an exhibition hall.

Zhao Ji was not in a good mood. Chen Ao looked at him secretly and knew that he was still worried about the Jurchens, but he was the most heartless. Although he was indeed worried for a while, he ignored him later. The Jurchens came and beat him back. What's the use of thinking so much?

This is Chen Ao's philosophy of life, so from entering the exhibition hall, Chen Ao's mood was the most relaxed. He went to the exhibition halls of various workshops. In order to get business, these workshops almost used all their solutions. Chen Ao went to an iron-making exhibition hall, where most of them were iron smelting or iron making goods gathered. At this time, he saw a merchant newly equipped with fine steel and was promoting how good their steel was. Chen Ao looked at it with interest, but Zhao Ji grabbed him and said with a calm face: "Let's go."

Chen Ao had no choice but to take a break in a teahouse. Zhao Ji looked calm and said, "I plan to welcome the Queen Mother, the King of Jin and others to Quanzhou. An Ning and the others should come to Quanzhou together."

Chen Ao couldn't help but frowned. This decision must cause panic in the world. The emperor left and the empress dowager also left. The top nobles in the capital were afraid that they would all leave. In this case, leaving a prince to supervise the country will mean that Bianjing can no longer be preserved?

Zhao Ji sighed and said, "I am planning ahead, and this is how I decided."

Chen Ao had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty relaxed, there is nothing scary about the Jurchens."

Chen Ao knew that such comfort was actually useless, but he still couldn't help but persuade him.

The results received by the World Exhibition were good, and almost gathered merchants all over the world. The orders in a day exceeded 60 million. Such a huge transaction volume made all merchants relieved. However, Chen Ao finally followed Zhao Ji and withdrew from the middle. He knew in his heart that the real storm was coming with this grand event.

In the province, thirty clerks were sitting in a dangerous position, lying on the desk and silently reading the memorials sent from various places. No one went to drink tea on the ear chambers on both sides. Since the Beijing inspection, nearly half of the Shulingshi has been cut off, and most of them are dereliction of duty. In this case, who dares to drink tea? In addition, people are a little nervous, so they stand up and stretch, afraid that they will be caught, so they secretly report it.

Sitting in the upper head, it was naturally the door ordering Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen seemed energetic. The Beijing inspection has been effective and has been spread out in various places. Now everything is on the right track. Some disobedient officials have been suppressed. The entire three provinces and six ministries are completely under the Yang Zhen system. Although this system is still unstable, the transmission of the orders is surprisingly effective. For Yang Zhen, this is enough.

A recorder quickly stepped into the threshold and went straight to Yang Zhen, whispering a few nervous expressions. Yang Zhen looked up in shock and said, "Where is it?"

The record immediately took out a memorial and handed it to Yang Zhen. When Yang Zhen opened it, his face immediately turned pale, and he couldn't help but say, "In the current situation, Your Majesty is still stranded in Quanzhou? Where did this happen in all dynasties?"

Yang Zhen felt that he was speechless again and stopped talking. However, this imperial edict was really extraordinary, which made his face calmly calm. He knew the situation of Bianjing. Although he was still under pressure and the various departments were still in good condition, the market had already been noisy. The Khitans were about to destroy the country. Look at this, the Jurchens were always going to be in a big way. Yang Zhen thought that Zhao Ji would hurry back to the capital to arrange things calmly after receiving the urgent report. As long as the Song Dynasty was not in chaos, the Jurchens would have no choice but to issue an order to make the world's army serve the king. Although the Song Dynasty suffered a lot of damage, it would not be of no help.

However, this decree means that His Majesty is nostalgic in Quanzhou and is temporarily unwilling to return to Beijing. He breaks up and does not mention the Jurchens. In addition, he also says that it will be delayed for a little longer, so he ordered the prince to supervise the country and act as the political affairs of the Jingjin Army.

Yang Zhen really didn't know what to say at this time. If he was angry, what would he be angry? Are he angry? He asked himself, and there was only helplessness in his heart, a kind of cold-hearted helplessness. Of course, he understood that if the will was announced, those rumors would inevitably become true in the eyes of others. They said that the low-ranking position would not forget the country, and they said that the country was in trouble and the country was responsible, but His Majesty ran away. Only God knew what the military and people would be like.

Yang Zhen closed his eyes and thought deeply, and asked at the record: "Who else has seen this order besides you?"

The recorder bowed and said, "Only the lower officials have seen it for the time being. The lower officials have just come from the Chengzhi Department. They think this matter is too important, so they immediately sent it to the adults and ask for advice."

Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled bitterly: "What can I do when things are up to now? Who can do this now in Quanzhou? The most urgent task is to stabilize the capital, and the second is to ask the prince to supervise the country. Don't tell me about this matter for the time being. I will go to the palace to meet the queen mother and ask the queen mother to make the decision."

Yang Zhen cleaned up, took the order, quickly left the door, and entered the palace in a sedan chair.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Yang Zhen felt an indescribable irritability in his heart. He thought things were on the right track, but now that such a big thing happened, I am afraid that everything would be like a mirror.

The sedan chair fell outside the palace and asked someone to report it. It took an hour to wait before Yang Zhen could enter.

The empress dowager is old and has just played a few games of Ye Zi in this Jingtai Palace. She is in a good mood. She is reluctant to see Yang Zhen meets him. She can't figure out Yang Zhen's intention for a while. He ordered one of the doors to come and say what to say to him? Could something have happened?

After thinking about it, the empress dowager immediately became alert. She asked someone to pack up the signs and dismiss the crowd. She set up a curtain and sat behind the tent, waiting for Yang Zhen to meet him.

Yang Zhen entered Jingtai Hall, immediately bowed and said, "I have met the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress is Thousand Years."

"Get up." The Queen Mother's tone was plain.

"Empress Dowager Xie." Yang Zhen stood up in dismay.

The Empress Dowager said, "Mr. Yang came to this harem to see me, a woman, what happened?" The Empress Dowager smiled and continued, "The Ai family is just a woman, what can you know? You guys are just a man's business. If you really can't make a decision, you can send someone to report to Quanzhou and ask about His Majesty's feelings. Wouldn't that be fine?"

Yang Zhense said: "Empress Dowager, something big is going to happen."

When he shouted, the Empress Dowager immediately stopped. Yang Zhen took the imperial edict to Jingde, who was beside him, and asked Jingde to deliver it to the empress dowager after the curtain, and said, "The Empress Dowager will know after seeing it."

After reading the imperial edict, the empress dowager said in confusion: "Your Majesty is really unspeakable. After finally letting him go out for a while, he actually took action first and then reported, but he refused to come back. But your Majesty stayed in Quanzhou for a few more days, which was not a big deal. Isn't this court good too? Lord Yang exclaimed, what are you doing?"

Yang Zhen said: "Did the Empress decree order the prince to supervise the country after seeing this imperial edict?"

The queen mother curled her lips and said disrespectfully: "If you are the one who is responsible for the country, can the prince still rebel?"

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know that the Jurchens have now surrounded the capital of the Liao people and will break the city soon. From the former land of the Liao Kingdom to our Bianjing, the horse is flat, only a few hundred miles away. The Jurchens are known for their iron cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and the army is under the brink of the territory in an instant. Now the capital has been shaken and people are in panic. Your Majesty refuses to return to the capital at the forefront of this storm, and he also ordered the prince to supervise the country. What is the meaning of this..."

The Empress Dowager was startled and said, "The Ai family has also heard of the Jurchens. Has the matter been so bad? Humph, where does the official family look like an emperor? Since the capital is unstable, he should be in charge of the capital. Lord Yang... I am a wife and don't know many things. What should I do now? Should I issue an imperial edict to let Your Majesty return to Beijing quickly?"

Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Your Majesty will not come back. The old minister means that the most urgent task is to stabilize the situation. Since Your Majesty does not return to the capital, he can only rely on His Royal Highness. The imperial edict also said that the prince ordered the prince to supervise the country, but the prince wants to supervise the country, so the queen mother must come forward."

The Queen Mother said: "How did the Ai family come forward?"

Yang Zhen said: "Please issue an imperial edict to summon the prince to the palace."

The Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment, confirmed the imperial edict, and then settled the gods, saying, "Then, I will issue an imperial edict, let the prince come into the palace, and the Ai family has something to say to him."

Jingde said: "Sister will go now."

Yang Zhen stood sideways on the edge of Jingtai Hall, and he seemed to have resolved a thing of his mind, but he felt that more troubles were coming to his heart. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and chose to remain silent.
