Chapter 352 Sister Jing turns over
"Your Majesty, there is news from Luoyang that the Emperor has left for Beijing." Sanshui reported.
"Have people pay close attention to your father's itinerary and report in time!" Zhao Xing ordered.
A few days ago, he sent someone to Luoyang to deliver a message, asking when his father would come back.
Judging from the time, my father should have decided to come back before he received the letter.
"Yes!" Sanshui bowed and retreated after hearing the words.
Zhao Xing took a sip of tea, and Zhang Qingzhi led the waiter to bring over the divided zhazi.
"Is there anything more urgent?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the British Lord is reporting that the temperature in the north has dropped recently, and it should snow soon. The war in Liao Kingdom has also stopped."
Zhang Qingzhi said that he found the British Duke's tack and handed it to Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing took it and unfolded it to read. Yelu Zhongyuan fortified the walls and cleared the countryside. He stormed the capital for several months. He attacked the city several times but was repulsed.
The city of Shangjing was tall and tall, and Yelu Yixin had already prepared for it and had hoarded a large amount of food in the city.
In addition, Yelu Yixin sent out cavalry, and Yelu Chongyuan did not dare to attack the city with all his strength.
This led to a situation where even though they attacked the city several times, they were repulsed.
The two sides fought for several months and suffered heavy losses.
Zhao Xing also knew this news. What surprised him was the British public's analysis of the war situation.
The British public analyzed that Yelu Chongyuan was likely to be defeated in the coming year.
There is a detailed analysis of this inference in Zazi.
In the situation of the Liao Kingdom, it seems that Yelu Chongyuan has always had the advantage, but Yelu Chongyuan has a fatal flaw, that is, he is unpopular.
Yelu Yixin seemed to be at a disadvantage, but almost all of his troops were concentrated on the border and the upper capital.
If Yelu Chongyuan had sent some troops to contain the troops in the capital from the beginning, sent troops to attack the city and seize territory, and fight a protracted battle with Yelu Yixin, there might be a chance.
But Yelu Zhongyuan's goal has always been to go to the capital.
It cannot be said that his choice was wrong. As long as he could break through Shangjing City, he would naturally win.
It's a pity that it has not been broken yet.
Yelu Chongyuan was unpopular. In the past few months, he had suffered heavy losses in order to attack the city. In order to replenish his troops, he even forced young men to join the army and recruited a large number of civilians, which made the people in the cities he occupied miserable.
Now that the losses have been heavy and the people have suffered greatly, it is too late for Yelu Zhongyuan to think about Xu Xu Tuzhi again.
Those cities that were not captured will definitely fight back, and Yelu Yixin will not sit idly by.
Yelu Chongyuan has already suffered a lot of losses and hidden dangers inside.
It would be better not to retreat, but once the troops retreat, hidden dangers will arise, and Yelu Yixin will send people to win over and provoke them. When the weather gets warmer in the coming year, Yelu Yixin will launch a counterattack.
Zhao Xing thought about it carefully and felt that the situation was likely to go as the British father had inferred.
Of course, this is unless other changes occur.
Speaking of changes, it is not that there were no changes. One was deep in the grassland, and the other was the Song Dynasty and Xixia.
There are still many tribes deep in the grasslands that are nominally dependent on the Liao Kingdom, but are essentially autonomous.
If Yelu Zhongyuan promised huge profits, he could still get some reinforcements.
As for the Song Dynasty and Xixia, it was much simpler. The border cities of the two countries and the Liao Kingdom were all in the hands of Yelu Yixin.
If Yelu Chongyuan sends people to sneak attack on the two countries and induces the two countries to send troops, they can also get some breathing time.
The former has nothing to do with Zhao Xing. He is eager for those nomads to participate. The longer the Liao Kingdom fights, the more people will die, and the happier he will be.
The latter had to be guarded against. He didn't care that Xixia was attacked by surprise, and even hoped that the Liao Kingdom would involve Xixia.
However, the Great Wall was being built on the border of the Song Dynasty. Once it was damaged, the losses would be huge.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xing was going to send a letter to the British father to ask him to be careful.
"Is there anything else important?" Zhao Xing asked, holding his hands together.
"Xiangong Shen wrote a letter saying that the disaster in Jiangzhou has been basically controlled, the floods have receded, and the surviving people have received relief and resettlement. The local government can organize the people to rebuild the rest, and asked His Majesty if he can return to Beijing." Zhang Qingzhi said. "I understand. If there is nothing else, please leave first." Zhao Xing said.
"I excuse myself!" Zhang Qingzhi bowed and left.
Zhao Xing pondered for a while, then found Xianggong Shen's Zhazi to give instructions.
Let Shen Xianggong continue to stay in Jiangzhou and supervise the reconstruction of local government.
We must ensure that the affected people can be properly resettled before winter begins.
At this time, the people's homes have not yet been rebuilt, and these people have no money or food, so they have to rely on government relief to wait until next autumn's harvest.
This time, because Zhao Xing sent Prime Minister Shen to take charge of the disaster relief, local officials did not delay and did not dare to commit corruption, so it did not cause a civil uprising.
But if Shen Xianggong leaves at this time, that may not necessarily be the case.
Therefore, Zhao Xing does not intend to let Shen Xianggong come back now.
After being busy until noon, Zhao Xing went to Renming Palace to have dinner with Zhang Guifen and informed her that her father and mother were about to return to Beijing.
Ask her to send someone to clean the palace where her father lives to see if there is anything that needs to be added.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know it." Zhang Guifen smiled and said: "I'm afraid your Majesty doesn't know, Sister Jing has turned over today."
"Oh?" Zhao Xing said happily when he heard this: "Sister Jing has finally turned over, and Shulan is really the same. I didn't even know that someone would inform me. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it."
Sister Jing was born at the beginning of the year and is now ten months old.
I don’t know if the nutrition is too good, but the little guy is chubby.
It doesn't matter if the kid is a little fatter. The problem is that the kid is very lazy.
Generally speaking, children her size can already crawl.
But she couldn't even turn over. If I put her there, she would just move her hands and feet, but she wouldn't turn over and had no desire to crawl. She looked like she was lying flat.
This made Shulan and Zhao Xing extremely anxious. Although the little guy had the capital to lie down, he couldn't really lie down.
Zhao Xing had the imperial doctor examine him and found that there was no problem with the little guy's health.
Mrs. He's suggestion is to use something to attract the little guy's attention and entice the little guy to turn over.
The result is good. When she sees something novel, she will reach out and grab it. If she can't catch it, she will cry. She will not try to crawl after it at all.
Mrs. He had no choice but to comfort Zhao Xing and wait until the child gets older.
I didn’t expect that after waiting for so long, I would finally turn over.
"She didn't tell His Majesty because she didn't want to disturb His Majesty during the day. Even if I didn't tell him, she would have sent someone to tell His Majesty later." Zhang Guifen said with a smile.
"No matter how busy I am, my daughter is not important." Zhao Xing said with a smile: "My daughter will finally turn over, and I will go and see her later."
Zhang Guifen smiled slightly. Seeing Zhao Xing so happy, her agitated heart relaxed.
People often like to have random thoughts. Even if Zhao Xing did not show preference for boys over girls, after Zhang Guifen became pregnant, she would always wonder if Zhao Xing would be unhappy if she gave birth to a daughter.
Zhao Xing didn't know what Zhang Guifen was thinking. After dinner, he chatted with Zhang Guifen for a while and then went to Shulan's palace.
Shulan was already taking a lunch break with her child. When she heard the news, she quickly had someone help her get dressed.
When Zhao Xing entered the house, he had just put on his clothes.
"Your Majesty!" When Shulan saw Zhao Xing coming in, she quickly bowed and saluted.
"Is Sister Jing asleep?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, I just went to bed." Shulan said.
Zhao Xing came to the bedside and saw the little one sleeping soundly on the bed. He knelt down, kissed her on the face and whispered, "I heard that Sister Jing can turn over?"
Shulan smiled and said in a suppressed voice: "Well, this morning she went to bed, and I fell asleep watching from the side. Who knew that she wouldn't cry or fuss after waking up, but turned over on her own and crawled When it came to Chen Concubine, Chen Concubine was still awakened by her. ”
"Haha, the little guy didn't turn over or crawl before, but now he's mastered by himself all of a sudden." Zhao Xing smiled and reached out to pinch the little guy's face.
The little guy felt uncomfortable being pinched, so he stretched out his hand to push Zhao Xing's hand away.
"Your Majesty, don't wake her up." Shulan said with a bit of resentment in her tone: "After she could crawl, she was not restless at all. She struggled all morning and finally managed to coax her to sleep."
