Tokyo is unusually cold this year; even the Yellow River has frozen over.
Zhao Huan and Han Chenchen stayed in Yanfu Palace, where the stoves were burning very brightly, making it warm and cozy.
Zhao Huan was reading Yelü Dashi's letter again.
The representative of the Council of State Affairs has already replied to Yelü Dashi with three letters, and it seems that both sides have become addicted to writing letters.
Yelü Dashi kept painting a rosy picture for Zhao Huan in his mind: what if they could strike straight at the heart of the enemy, crush Changbai Mountain, kill Wanyan Sheng, help His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty conquer Liaodong, and then look down upon the Western Regions.
In short, each letter is written with more sincerity than the last.
As for the letter that Zhao Huan is reading now, it was written by Yelü Dashi in the tone of a relative.
Zhao Huan selected a palace maid, bestowed upon her the title of princess, and sent her to him. She has now given birth to a child.
Yelü Dashi was not ashamed. He thought to himself, "The child has been calling me uncle. I hope to see him soon."
Then, at the end, the emperor revisited the issues concerning provisions and weaponry.
Zhao Huan was not ashamed and replied in person this time, saying that everything was fine and that he would give you as much as you wanted. He added that he and Zhao Huan were not only relatives but also brothers, and brothers should share weal and woe.
As for the provisions and military equipment, they are all on their way. Although it is snowing heavily and the roads are impassable, I have issued a strict order that anyone who dares to delay will be executed!
Because this is the grain that my good brother wanted!
As he wrote, Zhao Huan seemed to be moved even by himself, and two tears fell onto the letter, blurring the words.
After finishing the letter, Zhao Huan stretched and looked at the heavy snow outside, gazing northwest as he said, "Yelü Dashi, if you don't go and fight Wanyan Sheng soon, I'll depose you!"
P.S.: I can't take it anymore, I'll have to keep up with yesterday's chapter. I've been severely sleep-deprived these past few days, I need to go to bed early tonight, my brain is practically mush, and my dark circles are really bad, even coffee isn't helping.
Remember, I still owe one chapter. That's four chapters today.
