Chapter 2545 2221. Back to Changsha

The next day, Zhao Dongting did not go to Song Junshan again.

He was completely relieved of these old soldiers. As an emperor, he could not put too much attention on these old soldiers.

When he returned to Leizhou, he arranged more than 20,000 people brought back from the West in the military camp of Leizhou Prefecture, and then sent someone to send letters to Liu Hongyi, the Zhenguo Military Region, giving him full responsibility for sending these people to the grassland.

After staying in Leizhou Prefecture for two days, he headed to Jingjiang Prefecture again. Among the more than 20,000 people, he only brought Tiemur and a few former royal members, and the elites trained by Tengboda, as well as the firearm forgeators.

Even so, there are hundreds of people.

This obviously cannot be kept a low profile.

No matter where they went, there were crowds of people. Local officials all went out to greet them.

Many of these people have familiar faces from the past, some have followed him since he became famous, and some have been promoted by him later.

Zhao Dongting stayed in almost every prefecture for two days and inspected everywhere.

Most of these people did not disappoint him, and they made great achievements in managing the local area.

But there are also things that make him dissatisfied.

Reward what should be rewarded, and what should be punished. Zhao Dongting did not take into account much sympathy and sat on the throne, so he was destined to give up a lot of things.

It was not until Jingjiang Mansion that he stayed in Liu Hongyi's mansion for a day. This was because he was really close to Liu Hongyi, and the other was that Liu Hongyi was the marshal of the Zhenguo Military Region, and he was really armed.

On the next journey, Zhao Dongting only lived in a palace or official residence.

In this way, it was more than three months after arriving in Changsha.

Zhong Jian, Chen Wenlong and others who had known the news were also welcomed at the city gate early. The royal guard of honor was even hundreds of people.

Zhao Dongting didn't say anything, but after Zhong Jian and others saluted, he moved to his own chariot and sat in his carriage and called Zhong Jian into the car.

Le Chan and other women naturally also have their carriages.

There were Zhao Dongting and Zhong Jian in the carriage.

After Zhao Dongting asked him to sit down, he only asked: "Ship Liu has already written a letter to report on the migration of the Mongolian soldiers?"

"Back to the Emperor."

Zhong Jian replied: "The cabinet has received a memorial from Shuai Liu, and the Mongolian soldiers have been transported to the north by sea warships along the coast."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly and asked again: "How do you feel when I have no control over the past years, I have left all the government affairs of the country to you and the cabinet?"

Zhong Jian looked up at Zhao Dongting, then lowered his head and said, "I'm brave enough, don't you know if the emperor wants to hear the truth or the lies?"

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Of course I want to hear the truth."

Zhong Jian suddenly had a bitter face and said, "I only have one word, it's tired. Then it's... like sitting on pins and needles."

“How to say it?”

"Your Majesty, you are not in the palace for these days. I am ordered to supervise the country and dare not slackew. I am really exhausted. The government affairs in various places are not aware of their own, so I have almost no time to rest and can't sleep at night..."

Zhong Jian said, suddenly taking off his hat, his face even more bitter, "Prince, look at my hair..."

Zhao Dongting was stunned when he saw it, but then he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhong Jian is not old, but he has lost a lot of hair in recent years. Looking at the remaining hair on his head, he probably will be bald sooner or later.

But this is not a big deal for men.

He only patted Zhong Jian on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work. Why is that so uncomfortable?"

Zhong Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Did the emperor come from Qiongzhou all the way and didn't he hear any rumors?"

Zhao Dongting said: "You are so powerful that you are overwhelmed by the lord? You are saying that the cabinet is powerful?"

“That’s right.”

Zhong Jian said: "These words really make me feel cold..."

Then he said, "Fortunately, you are back now, and I beg the emperor to take over the state affairs immediately."

He, the Minister of State Reincarnation, was really unwilling to continue doing it for a moment.

If you do it, someone will be punished behind your back.

If you do not do well, you will be scolded by countless people.

When Zhong Jian agreed to Zhao Dongting, he didn't think too much, but just wanted to share the worries for Zhao Dongting. Now he realized that this position is really a hot potato.

Even Lu Xiufu, Zhao and Luo may not be able to sit steadily in the position of the Minister of State, let alone him.

In the first year of his tenure as the Minister of State, he did not know how much hair he lost just to deal with officials in the court who were dissatisfied with his qualifications and officials in various places who were lip service.

These people are either qualified or have military achievements. They are all meritorious ministers of the Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for the full support of cabinet ministers such as Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Yuluo, and others, and the strong support of Wen Qingshu, the Song Dynasty would have no idea what the chaos was like.

Looking back now, even he himself didn't know how he survived it.

However, Zhao Dongting did not take his words and asked again: "What's wrong with moving to Zhongdu?"

Zhong Jian looked at Zhao Dongting with some confusion and replied: "In the past two years, the ministers and the cabinet are focusing on developing the northern economy. If the emperor wants to move the capital, it should be within two years."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Now the Song Dynasty is vast, but the capital is south. It is time to put the capital on the agenda."
