The Daqing Hall was silent, before that, many officials took the war and the like as a joke to listen, now is how to prevent Liaoxia from joining forces against the Song Dynasty, the most reliable way is to strengthen the border defense, and send men and horses to enhance the border army, rather than any unreliable blind thinking such as taking the initiative to attack.

But listening to Su Jin's words on this, no one thinks it's a joke, and everyone doesn't deny that the situation described by Su Jin may really make the Xia people have a good impression of the Great Song Dynasty, but if they can fight the Liao people because of this, there are still many questions in their hearts.

"Lord Su." A tall figure walked out of the ranks of officials, it was Su Jin's old acquaintance, and he was also a person that Su Jin respected very much, and he was promoted to Bao Zheng of the Imperial History.

"Master Su, the military is a major national event, any taken for granted negligence will lead to annihilation, the gap in Song Liao's strength is not obvious, according to what you said, the military strength is still insufficient compared to my Great Song Dynasty, even if the emperor deigns to show favor to the Xia people, without the interference of the Xia State, it is just a matter of saying that the Great Song wants to destroy Liao, it is not a verbal recklessness."

Su Jin looked at Bao Zheng eagerly, he could see the worry in Bao Zheng's eyes, it was not unprincipled opposition, but he knew that the weight of Su Jin's words now might affect Zhao Zhen's thoughts, but it was precisely because the weight was too heavy that Bao Zheng had to remind Su Jin from the bottom of his heart.

Su Jin hadn't spoken yet, but someone interjected: "Bao Zhongcheng, Xia Guan thinks that Master Su's suggestion is worth considering, the two countries are in a big war, and the high combat strength of the troops is naturally important, but there are more factors that affect the outcome of the war, such as logistics support, such as morale and courage, such as strategy, and no matter these factors, my Great Song Dynasty occupies an absolute advantage, the Liao people have just lost 260,000 troops, the whole country is mourning, and the momentum has dropped to the freezing point, in terms of material reserves, my Great Song Dynasty is in an absolute advantage, and the grain, grass, armor and weapons are sufficient and sophisticated, Even the proud cavalry of the Liao people, the Great Song Dynasty also had 30,000; Moreover, Lord Su and the Liao people have just fought, and judging from the results, they can completely control the large army to fight, and they also have a psychological advantage over the enemy, all of which are the advantages of my Great Song Dynasty; Maybe the preemptive strategy proposed by Lord Su is the essence of it, and as time goes by, maybe all these favorable factors will be lost, and then the victory or defeat will be unpredictable. ”

The person who talked eloquently was a long-faced official, wearing armor, and actually carrying a steel knife on his body, judging from the details of being able to bring a knife to the temple, he must be a forbidden general, but Su Jin didn't know him.

This person is the new commander of the palace commander Huang Zhi, who was originally the commander of the guards and horses, and has just been promoted to take charge of the soldiers and horses of the palace front division, and the palace front division and the guard division are in charge of the Praetorian Guard, both of whom are the emperor's most trusted henchmen, known as the palace marshal; This Huang Zhi usually didn't speak much in the court, and today I don't know why he spoke generously.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "Huang Zhi, this is a matter of government affairs, you don't intervene, it is not your responsibility." ”

Huang Zhi was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand: "Involved in the major affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, the minister just wants to talk about his views, and the minister only analyzes it from a military point of view, lest some adults misunderstand Lord Su because they don't understand the factors of success or failure in the war. With that, he bowed back to the train.

Huang Zhi's words played a big role, and after his analysis, the officials suddenly felt that maybe if there was a war between Song and Liao, the chances of the Great Song Dynasty winning would be really high.

"Su Aiqing, I feel that this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and it is not easy to make a decision to start a war, and I need to think about it."

Su Jin said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister is not warlike, the minister is used to bloodshed on the battlefield, and knows the disasters brought about by war, if there is a war to avoid, but the Great Song Dynasty can avoid future disasters, even if it is more tortuous, it is better than fighting; The minister should not have proposed such a solution, the minister knew that he was wrong. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed: "You don't have to blame yourself, what you proposed is just a solution, maybe it's the only solution, for the dawn of the Great Song Dynasty, sometimes you don't want to fight, this matter can be discussed later, I need to consider it." ”

The ministers bowed their heads and said yes, Zhao Zhen stood up, the inner servant shouted to retreat from the court, Zhao Zhen strode off the dragon throne and went out of the side hall.

The ministers talked about walking out of the hall, Su Jin was surrounded by a group of people, and they congratulated Su Jin, and now this Lord Su officially entered the center and became a pivotal figure in the two governments and three divisions, and the three departments are all in high positions, but it seems to be a future candidate for slaughter, before Su Jin, more because Su Jin is valued by the emperor, and Yan Shu's niece and son-in-law, and now Su Jin's official position and fame are well deserved, not to mention the growing wealth of the Northwest Fourth Road and all kinds of amazing rumors, who can stir up the situation between the two countries of Liaoxia, What about playing with them on applause?

Many people want Su Jin to send an invitation, invite him to a banquet and enjoy the light, hoping to make friends with him, Su Jin still pursues the principle of not refusing to come, officials who can go to the court are naturally not general, even if they are incapacitated, they must have a family background, Su Jin will never offend people inexplicably in such a trivial matter; Su Jin agreed casually, and didn't think about whether the time conflicted, but everyone didn't care, in fact, eating and drinking are secondary, the key is to talk to Su Jin enough, just agree, whether to go or not, when to go, it's not a problem.

In the middle of the excitement, the attendant walked out of the hall, ran to Yan Shu's side in small steps, whispered a few words, Yan Shu nodded, stretched out his hand to greet Su Jindao: "Master Su, the old man has something to say to you." ”

Su Jin struggled to squeeze out the crowd, came to Yan Shu and said, "Yan Xiang, I also want to invite you to my house for a banquet at noon, Biyun and they miss you very much." ”

Yan Shu smiled: "That's a must-go, I'm going to take them to live in the house for a few days, you won't object." ”

Su Jin said: "How dare you object, this is what it should be." ”

Yan Shu said: "These things will be talked about later, the emperor wants you to go to the imperial study to see the driver, it is estimated that you are asking about the things discussed in the palace today, you don't really want to suggest that the emperor use troops against Liao, right?" You've got to think about it. ”

Su Jin thought for a while and said: "I haven't made up my mind, I hope I don't go that far, the tree wants to be quiet, and some things will force us to make decisions." ”

Yan Shu said: "My suggestion is, you wait, don't be in a hurry, you are new to the center, you need to be an idea, and the old man doesn't want to embarrass you, because if there is no reason to move the old man, the old man will definitely oppose your proposal, so you have to be cautious." ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "I know, I'm not the stunned young man I was back then, I know very well what I'm doing." ”

Yan Shu said: "That's good, you go, Pope Mo has been waiting for a long time." ”

Su Jin turned around and walked towards the east of the Daqing Palace, and a figure suddenly flashed behind the flower tree, Su Jin was startled and found that it was Xia Zhu.

"It turned out to be my father-in-law, and my son-in-law was polite." Su Jin saluted.

Xia Zhu showed a slight smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "That's it, what are you pretending to do?" The old man knows that the emperor will definitely see you, so he is blocking you here. ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "My father-in-law is good at calculating when he thinks about it, and he can even calculate this." What does my father-in-law have to say? ”

Xia Zhu's expression suddenly twisted, and he said softly: "Why doesn't Ling'er go back to see me?" Are you not allowing her to go back? ”

Su Jin smiled dumbly and said: "It turned out that this was the case, I thought that my father-in-law also came to warn me not to use the idea of raising troops, but it turned out to be this matter." ”

Xia Zhu said: "Why should I stop it? The old man agrees with your analysis, and if you need the old man's help, I can second. ”

Su Jin was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, once upon a time, Xia Zhu wanted to restrain himself to death, and he also regarded him as the number one threat, but now it is such a warm scene, it can be seen that nothing is absolute, everything is changing.

"Thank you, father-in-law, I will ask when I need it, Ling'er is pregnant with Liujia, she arrived yesterday, she was a little tired on the road, she was going to see you last night, but I stopped her, and I will raise it for a few days, I will go with her to meet you."

Xia Zhu exclaimed: "Did you have tire gas?" Can you see a doctor? ”

Su Jin smiled: "It's just that I'm uncomfortable on the road, it's not a big deal." ”

Xia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly leaned close to Su Jin's ear and said, "You didn't regret that incident, did you?" ”

Su Jin was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Xia Zhumei's hair flew angrily: "What else is going on?" Of course, it's the child in Ling'er's womb, you won't really regret it. ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Don't worry, naturally I won't regret it, but you have to pray to God to bless this is a male fetus." ”

Xia Zhu said with a smile: "The old man has already asked someone to calculate, there is no doubt that this baby must be a male fetus." ”

Su Jin was speechless, and when he looked up, he saw a figure of an inner servant hurrying over, and the inner attendant shouted from afar: "Lord Su, the emperor is in a hurry, you can go quickly." ”

Su Jin was about to say hello to Xia Zhu, but found that Xia Zhu was no longer around, and the back of this old man was already on the flowerbed path a few feet away.

Su Jin smiled bitterly, and walked along the corridor between the halls where the red walls and green tiles were feasting.
