The sun sets and it gets darker.

In the Renming Hall, Zhao Huan buried his head in front of the desk, writing and drawing quickly. Next to him was a thick stack of straw paper. With Tong Guan as the core, countless branches extended out in all directions, each with a different guess written on it.

Zhao Xi sat obediently beside him. Seeing Zhao Huan's frown gradually relax, she hugged Zhao Huan's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, what is this you drew?"

"This is called a mind map. It can help Dad think comprehensively and conduct systematic analysis, so as to find the key factors to solve the problem and take precautions in advance."

Zhao Huan slapped his forehead, confused. Why did he talk about this to his four-and-a-half-year-old daughter?

"Mind mapping and TBP analysis are two of Dad's most precious tools. When Xixi grows up, Dad will teach you."

“Yeah!”

Zhao Xi nodded, her big eyes flickering as she looked at Zhao Huan. "Just sort all the messy thoughts into categories, and then find the most important ones."

Zhao Huan patted Zhao Xi's head affectionately and praised: "Yes, Xixi is really smart."

"Hahaha!"

After a few brief words with his daughter, Zhao Huan's heavy mood improved a lot.

Zhao Huan summoned Wang Huaiji and handed him a secret letter.

"Go and give this to Doctor Sun. My life and property are completely entrusted to him."

Wang Huaiji carefully stuffed the secret letter into his inner pocket, then strode out.

"Your Majesty, something happened!"

Wang Zongchu spoke with a hint of shame. He could not help the emperor and instead kept causing trouble. He was too embarrassed to continue working as the commander of the Palace Front Division.

"Speak!"

"The wrong person was arrested. Tong Guan made a substitution three days ago. The Secret Service didn't notice, and by the time they did, it was too late. Jing Chao led 800 people out of the city to rescue the elder marshal."

Zhao Huan spread out the straw paper on the table, held the brush in his hand, and drew on the forked branches.

Jing Chao?

Zhao Huan had an impression of this person. He was mentioned in the Biography of Yue Fei told by Teacher Liu Lanfang.

This guy is a villain. Ever since the Jin Dynasty supported Liu Yu's pseudo-Qi regime, Liu Yu has repeatedly sent troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty in order to show himself in front of the Jin people.

According to our Chinese values, these traitors are more hateful than the invaders, especially those who aid and abet the evil, and they should be punished by everyone.

So the Southern Song Dynasty organized a northern expedition against the pseudo-Qi regime, defeated Liu Yu repeatedly, recovered most of the land in Henan, and directly approached Kaifeng Prefecture.

When Liu Yu saw this, he realized that this was not going to work. He couldn't win and had to ask his father for help, so he invited Wanyan Zongbing. This resulted in a drastic reversal of the outcome. Not only did the Southern Song Dynasty lose Ruzhou, which it had recovered, but it also lost its own Xiangyang.

Anyone who has read The Return of the Condor Heroes knows that Xiangyang was the gateway to the Southern Song Dynasty and could not be lost, so Yue Fei was sent to recapture Xiangyang.

The first city-guarding general Yue Fei met on the way was Jing Chao, a royal guard of the Northern Song Dynasty court, known as "Ten Thousand Enemies!"

Jing Chao, a powerful enemy, had a fierce battle with Yue Fei's son Yue Yun.

In the end, he was defeated by the young general Yue Yun. After the city was broken, he jumped off a cliff and committed suicide. This can be regarded as Yue Yun's famous battle.

They each served their own master, and they sacrificed their lives for their country after being defeated. They were worthy of being called brave generals. Besides, how many people in the world are stronger than Yue Yun?

Maybe this is what they call a blessing in disguise. At the critical moment, such a powerful person appeared out of nowhere.

"Wang Zongchu, your performance these past two times wasn't very good. However, considering your loyalty, I can give you another chance to make meritorious contributions. If you fail again, you will be sent to guard the city gate."

"Yes! I will do my utmost to live up to your Majesty's trust."

"There's no point in talking nonsense, just get to work."

"Dispatch the Imperial City Division to guard the Bianjing Palace. All the Imperial Guards from the Palace Front Division must march out of the city with great fanfare. Say you're going to support Marshal Zong Ze and defeat the traitor Tong Guan."

"Your Majesty, the Imperial City Division is all Prince Yun's people. I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"After the troops leave the city, you will split up into smaller groups and sneak into the city quietly, making sure to avoid the enemy's eyes."

"Just lie in ambush... Hiroshima Mon Amour. Confirm it again. Don't make any more mistakes. If anything goes wrong again, I don't know if I can keep my head."

Wang Zongchu took the order and left, and soon there was a major reshuffle in the Bianjing Palace.

The Jin army marched out of the city in a mighty force, and the news soon spread throughout the entire Bianliang city.

Tong Guan intended to rebel and detained Zong Lao Marshal, and the Imperial Guards went out in full force to capture Zong Lao Marshal.

Without the imperial guards around, Zhao Huan felt completely insecure, so he transferred five personal eunuchs from the Eastern Palace, which gave him a sense of security.

The eunuchs in the Eastern Palace are Schwarzeneggers per capita.

Zhao Huan was walking in front holding Zhao Xi!

"Let's go find Grandpa."

"Okay, okay! Grandpa will draw a picture for Xixi."

This is absolutely true. Song Huisong painted many realistic paintings for Zhao Xi, which are clearer than black and white photos.

Funing Hall, the meeting room.

When Zhao Huan pushed the door open, there was still a smell of hormones in the room.

Zhao Xi wrinkled her pretty nose and said, "Grandpa, you're bullying Big Sister again."

Li Shishi's face was red enough to drip water, and she rolled her eyes at Song Huizong, as if to say, "Look at all the bad things you did, even your granddaughter knows about it."

Zhao Huan opened the window to let in some fresh air, and then explained the situation to Song Huizong in a serious tone.

Seeing that Song Huizong did not seem surprised at all, Zhao Huan understood that Song Huizong must have received the news.

Li Shishi handed the small note she had received earlier to Zhao Huan and explained the existence of the Honglou organization.
