A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Shen An asked Izumokan to make several fans for Prime Minister Bao's house, which is very convenient."

Zhang Baibian didn't feel at all that it was a mistake to monitor the families of important ministers, and the ministers didn't think there was anything wrong either.

Bao Zheng stood there, squinting slightly at Sima Guang, and said: "I keep my word and never break my promise. Everyone knows this. I said there will be no ice this year, but if anyone sees ice cubes in the cellar of my home, I will Resign and go home...Sima Jianyuan...do you dare?"

Of course Sima Guang dares to do so. Even if he goes up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire, there is no room for him to retreat now.

So the two of them made a bet.

Whoever violates this bet will go home.

This is not a joke, but a counterattack from the standard-bearer of the reformists and the number one troll in the Song Dynasty.

As one of the new bosses of the opposition, Sima Guang naturally wanted to take up the challenge.

Zhao Shu looked at this scene and suddenly felt a little sad, and said: "The prime ministers and assistants stay, and the rest... disperse."

You, Sima Guang, have nothing to do with you here.

Sima Guang handed over his hands and left, and Zhao Shu spoke out what was in his heart, "During the Qingli Year, the monarchs and ministers in the court were so suppressed that they were unable to fight back, but now they are all gone. In just a few decades, the situation has reversed like this... "

He pointed at Han Qi and said, "General Manager Han Qing has contributed a lot to this."

Lao Han is domineering and can block a gun, making him Zhao Shu's gold medal partner.

Han Qi held back his pride and said a few words of humility. Zhao Shu pointed at Bao Zheng and said, "Bao Qing is fearless and frightening. When I see Bao Qing standing here, I feel confident in my heart."

This evaluation is also not bad, and it is slightly beyond.

The reputation of being the number one troll in the Song Dynasty is by no means in vain. As long as Bao Zheng stands in the court, those who oppose him must think twice before they act, otherwise they will be left speechless by Bao Zheng's words. Sorry, Zhao Shu just happened to deal with you.

As for Sima Guang, he was considered a meritorious minister for Zhao Shu's ascension to the throne, so it was difficult to liquidate him. Otherwise, according to Zhao Shu's urine, he would have been kicked to a remote area long ago.

Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu knew that they wanted to praise themselves. They wanted to know their status in Zhao Shu's heart, and they also wanted to know what Zhao Shu thought of them, so they calmed down...

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Imperial City Department!"

At the critical moment, Zhang Ba8 came in.

"What's the matter?"

When Zhao Shu heard that it was an urgent report, his head jumped a little.

"Yelu Hongji has urgently ordered the army to turn back and call a truce with the Xixia people..."

This is not bad news, but the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty have long been mentally prepared and are not surprised.

"Yelu Hongji vomited blood outside Yanmen Pass. The news leaked out, and Yelu Hongji was furious..."

The Song Dynasty was a wealthy neighbor to the Liao people. If they were not afraid of the high cost, the Liao people would have already mobilized their army to go south.

When the Northern Expedition was defeated, the Liao people underestimated the Song Dynasty, so they invaded again during the Zhenzong period, but that time they encountered a stubborn Kou Zhun.

Want to fight? come! If you don’t come, you will be my grandson!

Kou Zhun took Zhenzong to the north. After a battle, the Song Dynasty was at a disadvantage, but the Liao people also suffered heavy casualties. From then on, they realized that although the Song Dynasty was defeated by the Liao Dynasty, it had the ability to make the Liao Dynasty pay a heavy price.

Now that Yelu Hongji was defeated outside Yanmen Pass and his own family even vomited blood, public opinion within the Liao Kingdom would definitely boil.

It's just like a certain strong team in later generations. It was originally coaxed and said that it was the best in the world, but in the end it lost to a certain team...

Damn it!

Isn't this too magical?

Did they collectively suffer from insomnia the night before the game?

It was probably because of this shock that there was some internal turmoil in the Liao Kingdom.

In the face of the turmoil, Yelu Hongji must respond with powerful means, otherwise his authority will be shaken.

Here, Zhao Shu's prestige has greatly increased because of the "Ascension of the Divine Dragon" in the palace, but Yelu Hongji has lost face because of his failure and vomiting blood...

In fact, failure does not matter, after all, it is Yanmen Pass.

The terrain of Yanmen Pass is dangerous. When Yang Ye was guarding here, he defeated the Liao army several times, which was regarded as one of the few highlights of the Song Dynasty against the Liao Kingdom.

So this can be dismissed as a crime other than war.

But why are you vomiting blood?

This is just like what is written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If Zhuge Liang is so angry that he vomits blood, it means incompetence.

"Yelu Hongji was angry and the war situation in Xixia was not good, so he ordered his troops to withdraw. Then he made preparations to send troops south for a sneak attack, but he didn't know where..."

"Is that so?"

"Yelu Hongji was almost burned to death. Many people in the Liao Kingdom now say that he is a disgrace." Speaking of this, Zhang Bianba couldn't help but look at Shen An.

The arsonist is here!

Zhao Shu thought about everything, but he didn't expect that Yelu Hongji would take revenge for the sake of face.

He remembered that incident and looked at Shen An with the prime ministers and assistants.

"That fire of yours..." Zhao Shu said helplessly: "You lit a fire under the alias Cao Xueqin and almost burned Yelu Hongji to death."

Shen An said helplessly: "I just have itchy hands."

At first he just wanted to see Yelu Hongji, but when he came out and saw that his guard was loose, he felt itchy.

I swear my hands are really itchy!

And he just wanted to scare Yelu Hongji with that fire. Who knew it would burn so badly.

Bao Zheng said: "A fire and a mouthful of blood will disgrace Yelu Hongji. Anbei will not be allowed to send envoys to the Liao Kingdom in the future... Otherwise, his life will be in danger."

Han Qi nodded, "Yes, let alone the envoy to the Liao Kingdom, be careful when approaching the north in the future."

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "There should be no more fighting in the next few years. Otherwise, if Yelu Hongji loses again, I will have to think about whether I will still give him the coins..."

Sui coins!

Zhao Shu couldn't help but tremble slightly when he thought of this.

What would happen if the advantage of the Liao people and the so-called Sui coins were ended in his hands?

The ruling and opposition parties will be ecstatic!

Han Qi was also looking forward to it, "Your Majesty, those Sui coins... The Sui coins are not much, but they cost money! As long as the Sui coins are paid for one year, the Song Dynasty will suffer for a year, and in order to defend against the Liao and Xixia people, The Song Dynasty spends countless dollars every year. If it can destroy an opponent, the three divisions will be happy, the whole Song Dynasty, the government and the public will be happy, no, ecstatic!"

Bao Zheng said: "The Liao people were defeated, and Yelu Hongji was also defeated. The Liao people began to panic. They were worried that the Song Dynasty would take the initiative to initiate provocations. They were even more worried that the tribes on the grassland would become rebellious because of this, so Yelu Hong Ji must defeat Da Song...even if it’s just once.”

Yelu Hongji was embarrassed, and everyone else was embarrassed, not even the Prime Minister. Take Han Qi, for example. He has lost many people, but he is still the Prime Minister, and he is still domineering.

The prime minister will change, but the emperor will sit in that position before he dies. The emperor's rule relies on authority. From the divine right of kings to the advocacy of heavenly rule, to the intimidation of holding the power of life and death, the emperor's prestige has never been so high.

Every failure, every provocation is a threat to the emperor, and he must fight back.

Yelu Hongji made a decision: Get up from where you fell!

Make a truce with the Xixia people and give someone to the Song people.

"The Imperial City Division is outstanding."

Zhao Shu looked at Zhang Baibian and said approvingly: "This kind of information can be said to be priceless. Remember to reward the spy who gets the information afterwards."

The prime ministers and assistants nodded one after another, this kind of contribution deserves a heavy reward.

Zhang Baibian lowered his head and clenched his fists, "Your Majesty, the spy who found out the news was rounded up and killed on the streets after spreading the news..."

After a moment of silence, Zhang Baibian raised his head and said: "The Liao people surrounded that brother and promised to surrender with the promise of a high official and a generous salary. That brother... he said... Han'er should be a man... and then he was hacked to death..."

Zhao Shu was horrified and moved. Han Qi opened his mouth and felt a sense of tragedy coming over him, making him want to kill someone.

"Han'er should be a real man..."

"Good man!"

Zhao Shu took a deep breath and ordered: "If you find his family members, you will be rewarded heavily. If there is any difficulty, the Imperial City Department will arrange them properly...Does he have a son?"

It was extremely rare for the emperor to personally handle the affairs of a secret agent.

"Yes." Zhang Baba lowered his head and muttered silently: Brother, the soul has returned...

"That's Seungnaorou."

Zhao Shu lowered his head slightly, feeling a little sad.

"In the past, when I heard about how many people were killed and injured in the north or northwest, I was always dumbfounded, but today I was extremely shocked when I heard what this man said. It was with such loyal warriors that the Song Dynasty could be a country for hundreds of years."

This is what Zhang Ming said for warriors.

"Be kind to them, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Chengzhilang is a casual official, but he is under the sixth rank. A child has been granted the rank of Sixth Grade. This treatment is no different from that of the descendants of important ministers.

"Your Majesty is wise."

The ministers bowed their heads in praise.

"Since Yelu Hongji wants to take action, I will naturally take over." Zhao Shu stood up and said, "Nothing can be lost on the northern front line. This battle..."

His eyes moved as he was choosing a commander.

Bao Zheng is getting ready to leave work.

Bao Shou was still young. When Bao Shou became an official, Lao Bao felt that he would be dead long ago, so he had nothing to fear and could do whatever he wanted.

Zeng Gongliang raised his head slightly and decided to use this opportunity to gain a foothold in Zhengshitang.

Ouyang Xiu looked ahead blankly. He felt that he was probably out of luck, but he had to fight for it anyway!

Five years ago, these prime ministers would not have fought for the expedition. They would have earnestly persuaded the emperor to be harmonious.

The Liao people were so fierce that the Song Dynasty couldn't beat them!

Why do you want to lose money if you still fight if you can't win?

But now the Song Dynasty's repeated victories in foreign wars have brought confidence. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The prime ministers first felt it unconsciously.

Fight, Da Song is not afraid!

The blood in the court hall was surging, and just when several prime ministers were about to leave for work, they heard a voice.

Plop!

Zeng Gongliang even felt the vibration of the ground.

Damn it!

Han Qi knelt down!

What does it mean to push the gold mountain and pour the jade pillar? That's it.

The ground shook. One can imagine how scary Han Qi's weight is.

Han Qi raised his head with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, even a secret spy knows that Han'er should be a man, sir..."

He gritted his teeth and said: "I was defeated at the hands of the Western bandits in the northwest, and I still regret it. Now that the fighter plane has arrived, I am willing to lead the army there. If we fail, I will commit suicide in the north and hang my head on the city wall to warn future generations of boasters. .”

Zhao Shu was pondering.

He refused to let Han Qi go on the expedition, still for the sake of balance.

But now that the opposition is ready to move, and the pressure from the DPRK and China is considerable, the prime ministers and ministers need to increase their prestige.

But Han Qi...

The defeat of the Northwest almost destroyed the national destiny of the Song Dynasty!

Han Qi paused several times, and when he looked up again, his forehead was covered in blood and flesh.

The blood flowed down, and Han Qi looked a little more ferocious.

"Your Majesty, I have been suffering from hardship for many years. If I cannot go, I will crash to death here."

He stood up suddenly and rushed towards the pillar on the side. The speed looked very scary.

"stop!"

Zhao Shu didn't expect Han Qi to be so strong, so he said, "I'll just let you go."

But he shouted a little late, and with Han Qi's speed, it was really...

Two chamberlains went to stop him, but Han Qi knocked him into a fight, and one of them fainted.

Han Qi finally wanted to brake and reached out in front of the pillar, but the momentum was still there.

Boom!

Han Qi fainted...
