But it’s not.

Combining the previous intelligence with Liu Ziyu's reminder of the word "host and guest", Zhao Jiu understood that the chaos in western Beijing was just a natural situation in the war. The reason why it looked scary was because it involved the host-guest dispute that had been going on in China for thousands of years.

There was war in the north, and a large number of refugees and defeated soldiers moved south, but they had no food supplies. Naturally, they had to rely on their short-term advantages in manpower and combat power to plunder. The local people were naturally unwilling to be bullied. In addition, the Jin people happened to plow the land again at this time, so that the officials were emptied and there was a lack of officials to organize and coordinate the conflicts between the two sides. Then, there would inevitably be local powerful people who would rise up and organize troops. No matter who they were, they would be on guard against!

To put it bluntly, the reason why the situation became so chaotic that everyone seemed to be a criminal and everyone was fighting each other was because there was a fierce conflict between the host and the guest over the means of production necessary for survival. At this time, it would be unfair to judge the Song and Jin countries based on their positions and whether they had ambitions or not.

As for who is right and who is wrong... From the moral sense of ordinary people, they will of course think that it was the refugees and defeated soldiers from the north who acted recklessly, that is, it was the fault of these guests. And in fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhai Chong, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin, and even Niu Gao, who seem to be the most credible forces at present, are still local forces, and those who have ambitions to rebel are actually mostly defeated soldiers from Tokyo and the Western Army, and they have knives in their hands at the first time.

But in fact, everyone is essentially just seeking a way out, and the only ones who are wrong are the two saints and the Jin people! However, this truth may only be said by Emperor Zhao alone. Those who have paid for the mistakes of the two saints with their lives may not have this awareness. Even if Zhao Jiu speaks in person, he can only say a few words in the line. If it is really released, it will still be temporarily stopped at the Jin people, calling on everyone to be united against the outside world.

So, at this time, Emperor Zhao stepped forward to appease them. Although they seemed to have different personalities and styles of doing things, fundamentally speaking, they had no reason to refuse.

Especially under the pressure of the official power of Song and Jin, there is no one in the west of Beijing who has the power of Ding Jin to become a third party to shake the situation... There is a fierce bandit in Luoyang, Xijing, named Yang Jin, who also formally surrendered to Jin and was used by the Jin people to encircle and suppress the two Zhai.

All in all, Liu Ziyu's words made Emperor Zhao completely convinced that this man had some ability, and he gradually put his mind at ease... If so, as long as the pacification was successful and Han Shizhong could advance quickly, this Wanyan Yinshu would be just a false alarm.

At this thought, Emperor Zhao's brows relaxed slightly, and regardless of the other party still talking, he spoke directly: "Mr. Liu, I see that you are eloquent and a descendant of a loyal and honest man. In addition, the court is in need of someone who understands military affairs, so why not come to the Ministry of War to judge the affairs of the Ministry of Military Affairs..."

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Jun suddenly interrupted Zhao Jiu, and even Liu Ziyu suddenly bowed and bowed.

"What?" Zhao Jiu was confused for a moment.

"Liu Yanxiu is already a fifth-rank civil servant... Under normal circumstances, he could be directly appointed as a prefect, but this assignment seems a bit too light." Zhang Jun reminded carefully. "If the emperor wants to keep him as a military advisor, why not give him a higher-ranking but less busy assignment?"

Zhao Jiu suddenly came to realize that he had made a mistake again, so he followed suit and gave the other party some assignment from the Imperial College, thus putting an end to the matter.

Just like that, Zhao Jiu was comforted by Liu Ziyu and felt less worried about the future of Jingxi. Then he asked Feng Yi to take Liu Ziyu to get some rewards, and had a few words with Zhang Jun in private. Then he asked Feng Yi to send the two of them out. Finally, he was too sleepy to take a nap.

Let's not talk about how Emperor Zhao went to catch up on his sleep. Let's just say that Zhang and Liu came out of Ruyang Prefecture, turned into the street, and rode side by side under the bright morning sun. Liu Ziyu finally couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the Xiantai let me go out to recruit people or serve as a military governor on the front line? The military advisor beside the emperor is a close minister, but I really don't want to do it because I am confined to the central government."

"Because the most difficult place in the world right now is the emperor's place." Zhang Jun sighed. "You should stay here, enlighten the emperor, and give him advice. That's what you should do most... Ziyu, you are a good person in every way, but you have a limited vision and don't understand the overall situation."

Liu Ziyu opened his mouth to speak but didn't say anything, apparently he was still a little unconvinced.

"Yan Xiu, do you know what the emperor said to me just now when you and Feng Yi went out to receive the reward?" Seeing this, Zhang Jun could only rein in his horse and ask seriously.

"How should I know?"

"He asked me how to expel the innocent Feng Yi!" Zhang Jun sighed. "And when I asked the emperor why he wanted to expel him when he was innocent, the emperor said that Feng Yi served him too well... During this national crisis, he was afraid that he would indulge himself too much!"

Liu Ziyu was surprised for a moment: "I didn't expect the government to be so self-disciplined."

"That's not all!" Zhang Jun shook his head again. "There's one more thing..."

PS: Thank you for the reward from Xiaofeitanjun... Let me say one more thing. Although I am a homebody by nature, I am becoming more and more depressed and impatient in this situation... Am I the only one?

No matter what, I still hope that everyone can keep a calm mind, wash hands more often, drink more water, and maintain good sleep, and you will definitely get through this.
