He was so harsh that Qu Duan could not refute it. At this moment, he replied loudly: "Your Majesty's words, I cannot agree with you."

He ignored the expressions of Qingke, Zhe Yanshi and others beside him, and raised his head to Zhao Huan, "Your Majesty, I blame the power, how can I let go just because the Mongols are your Majesty's slaves? Besides, the soldiers of the imperial guards are also for your Majesty's country, so how can they favor one or the other?"

Zhao Huan did not expect that he would dare to confront him in person, so he immediately rebuked: "People are still close and distant, and the imperial guards are my ministers, but the Mongolian guards are even more indifferent. If they were not for them, I would be able to return safely? Where was the imperial guards at that time? How could I blame me for being favored by them?"

Qu Duan subconsciously continued: "Your Majesty needs to be guarded by the Mongolian cavalry, and you will not dare to fight unless you are an imperial guard."

As soon as this sentence came out, the scene was silent, and everyone looked at Qu Duan, as if it were dead. Of course, Zhao Huan's shameless "Northern Shou" that day was because his father and son destroyed the Great Wall, were cowardly and corrupted the Chaogang, and then became a prisoner of Chu. However, in front of the emperor, Qu Duan was the only one among the ministers and generals of the court and the generals.

Zhao Huan sneered: "Hundreds of thousands of troops lost to 60,000 Jurchen soldiers. Is it the fault of my father and son?"

Having said this, Qu Duan felt that there was nothing to say, so he had to kneel down and kowtowed to apologize: "I am talking nonsense, no one is polite, please forgive me."

Although Zhao Huan loved his talent, he was still angry at this time. He had to put it away for a while if he wanted to use his words. He looked at Qu Duan hatefully and waved his hand: "Forget it, I have never spoken of sinners. Today's affairs will not be passed on to six ears, so it's fine."

After saying that, he got up and wanted to go, but Qu Duan kowtowed again and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, I hope your Majesty will carefully consider the fact that Emperor Dezong of Tang led Uighur soldiers into Chang'an and even plundered them to cause disaster. The lesson is not far away, so I still ask Your Majesty to pay attention."

Seeing that Zhao Huan was still ignored, he was about to move forward, Qu Duan said again: "Three hundred Mongolian soldiers are not worthy of disaster. I heard that Your Majesty intends to beg for Mongolia. I think it is very unwise. Now the imperial guards are strong, and it is just around the corner to recover Yanyun, so there is a small decline, and it can also be restored slowly. There is no need to reject the wolf at the front door and enter the tiger at the back door. The matter of the prosperous Tang Dynasty can still be a precept for today."

Zhao Huan turned around and looked thoughtful. He asked him, "Did you deliberately punish the Mongolian soldiers who caused trouble because of my joining forces with the Mongolian Hebule Khan?"

Qu Duan shook his head and said, "This is not. I should punish the law. I should not be punished for reasons, nor should I punish the punishment for reasons. I punish the Mongolian soldiers and reduce their arrogance. There are only three hundred people on the left. Your Majesty has always been very strict in discipline and has never had any trouble. However, I don't know what the person is like. But I mention that the Mongolian soldiers are 100,000 to help the war. Just like the Emperor of Tang begging Uighur soldiers on that day, it is easy to borrow troops, but it is very difficult to deal with the aftermath. After destroying the Jin Dynasty, wouldn't I know that there will be another strong enemy? The Liao Dynasty has caused disaster for hundreds of years and perished in one day. The Jin Kingdom will cause even more disasters. Don't I know that Mongolia is stronger than Jin. It will be even more difficult to deal with the aftermath. When Your Majesty borrows troops, I think about it day and night, but I am worried about this. Today, there are some complaints because Your Majesty has not summoned me and I cannot tell this matter, so it will be like this."

Zhao Huan's face was getting gentler. He turned around and sat down, and asked Qu Duan Wenyan: "So that's the case, but I misunderstood you."

He looked thoughtful and smiled at Qu Duan: "But the rumor of your rumor is not true. I had an agreement with Hebule back then, and I could regain power. When the troops were facing Yanyun, he used Mongolian tribe cavalry to attack the Jurchens' rear and disrupt the enemy's lineage, thinking of helping him. This old contract was also for the good of the Mongolian people. The Jurchens were arrogant. In order to prevent the Mongolian tribes from becoming large, they sent cavalry to the grassland to burn, kill and loot every year, called reducing the throne. The Mongols suffered a lot and were dissatisfied with it. Even if I had no agreement with this person, with this Hebule's talent and ability, they would definitely not be bullied like this. So this time I sent Li Xianzhong to the grassland and found the Mongols to declare the previous agreement, and Hebule was readily answered and agreed immediately. But how they sent troops and where they invaded were not very clear."

What a smart person Qu Duan is. Even others can't understand the information revealed in Zhao Huan's words, but Qu Duan is already fully aware of it.

It was true that Zhao Huan and Hebule made an appointment, but this time, he sent people to the scene without declaring the interests and demarcating the territory of the two countries in the future after the Jin Dynasty was destroyed. The other party did not promise any benefits and used gold and silver to lure them together. As a result, he just sent a military minister as an envoy. The other party agreed so readily, and the meaning of it was self-evident.

Hebule was a rare politician among the Mongolians. He had a long-term vision and was skilled. When Zhao Huan was in a downturn, he helped him with all his strength. Seeing that Zhao Huan was in power again and the Song Dynasty was strong, he made an appointment before, and would use the whole country's troops to help him. The benefits were not good, and the territory was not discussed, and gold and silver were not taken. It was already very abnormal to have been welcomed.

Abnormality is a demon. If the other party is not obsessed with some benefits, it is looking forward to greater rewards. Zhao Huan's words are vague and he has already made these points clear and clear. Qu Duan understands them, and it is already vain.

He immediately replied: "The war in Hebei is imminent, and the king's army will definitely win. Zong Bi is not a god. At this time, even if he descends to earth, he will not be able to defeat the defeat. The Jin soldiers are completely defeated. Even if he temporarily draws the elite tribes from Shangjing and other places to gather into an army, it will take some time before he can. Therefore, after the victory of Hebei, the king's army can go north to capture all parts of Yanjing, and even directly attack Huanglong. In this way, whether the Mongolian army enters Shangjing or attacks the rear of the Jin Kingdom needs to be determined as soon as possible. I think that Your Majesty should send envoys again, or hand them over to the generals in front to discuss with the Mongolians, so that they can be perfect."

When Zhao Huan saw that he understood, he really fell to the ground with a big rock in his heart. Seeing that Qu Duan was still kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but help him up with his own hands. Then he smiled and said, "I only know that you are a great talent today."

Seeing Qu Duan showing joy, Zhao Huan smiled meaningfully, "However, it's too tough and easy to break, and the test I said just now will still count. If you insist on not changing it, it will be very difficult to meet in the future."

He said that Qu Duan is a big talent, but he insisted on the previous test language. Adding the last sentence, he clearly told the other party that the recovery is imminent and it is of great use, but if the habits are still difficult to change, he will never be appointed again.

Qu Duan understood clearly, and immediately bowed his hand and said to Zhao Huan: "I have been awakened by Your Majesty. I have been constantly reflecting on myself for several months. If it is tough, it is easy to break. Please rest assured. I will definitely change my past temper and live up to your Majesty's grace to this day."

"Okay, that's the best."

Zhao Huan came out to wander around, but accidentally decided to settle the matter of the commander of the army. He was very happy. He said it was good and discussed the details of the Hebei war with Qu Duan for a while. Seeing that the other party answered it well, he was very familiar with the situation of the advantageous military preparations in Zhucheng, Hebei. It was obvious that he had used hard work before and was even happier. Although he did not say it clearly, everyone in the seat already understood that it was Qu Duan to recruit the position of Hebei marching chief manager.

Zhe Yanshi stood there and served him. Seeing that it was getting late and seeing that Zhao Huan was about to finish his words, he stepped forward and bowed and smiled, "Your Majesty is happy, but it is too late at this time. If you don't go back, I'm afraid that the palace or the ministers of the utmost care will not be at ease and will send someone to find him. At that time, it will be bad if you make a big fuss. Why don't you go back today and talk about military affairs tomorrow."

Zhao Huan had nothing to say at first, but when he smiled and comforted him, he immediately went down the restaurant. The guards immediately surrounded him and surrounded him towards the direction of the palace. After Qu Duan and others respectfully sent Zhao Huan and his party out, they could not feel at ease to let the emperor go back by themselves. They secretly reminded their guards to follow him. Seeing Zhao Huan and his party near the palace, the guards in the palace welcomed him from afar and hugged Zhao Huan into the palace, and then they scattered back.

Zhe Yan saw that although Zhao Huan had a proud expression, his eyebrows were tired. He knew that he had been out of business because of his lack of political discussions. Unexpectedly, he had already talked about military affairs for another night and was extremely exhausted. He immediately arranged for the servants in the palace to boil water and incense, prepare mattresses, and let Zhao Huan go and rest.

Zhao Huan was happy, but he was not in a hurry to go to bed. He stood with his hands behind his back outside the bedroom. Although it was midsummer, the terrain in Hedong was extremely high and the weather was cooler than other places. It was almost midnight and the breeze came. There were attics here. He was shuttled around at night, making a sound when he hit people, which made him feel refreshed.

In recent years, I have lived in Chang'an Palace. In order to establish the image of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I cannot play and have fun. There is also an empress dowager in the palace, so I need to be filial and filial. In addition, the concubines in the harem are intrigue and compete for favor. As an emperor, enjoyment is actually not as good as an ordinary wealthy businessman. Instead, I went to Taiyuan and became alone and left a free and free. The ministers stood by the left and right, guards standing around, hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside the city were waiting for orders, ready to go, both the emperor's majesty and power, and there were fewer constraints. This really made him happy physically and mentally, like a cage bird. On the rise, he stood in front of the stairs, and actually wanted to bring hundreds of thousands of troops straight into Youyan, destroy the foreign barbarians, and leave a name in history and be famous for a lifetime. It is also a great pleasure in life.

Just thinking that everything was ready, the many ministers and generals in front had prepared for a long time, but they had no intention of personally expeditioning. On a whim, they had to teach many people to turn their backs on their feet. They had to sigh and give up.

When Zhe Yan saw his expression, he knew that he was not allowed to sleep for a while, so he had to get up and asked Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, look at the situation today, do you have to worship Qu Duan as the commander?"
