The people are disturbing and lively, but there is silence in the court, and no one is even willing to mention the matter of the summer expedition, even if the relevant personnel have to plan for the border soldiers, they try to keep their voices low when they discuss, and they can discuss it in private if they don't talk about it in the court.

As the saying goes, laymen look at the lively insiders look at the doorway, and the common people talk about the great victory in the war and the royal gossip, and the officials ponder the details behind it.

The Northern Expedition and the Summer Expedition were both foreign wars, and they were both won, but the content was completely different. The Northern Expedition was a miracle achieved by Emperor Shenzong and Wang Xu's support. Not to mention the emperor's support, Zhengxia was completely out of the control of the imperial court, and it was still a private army.

This is thanks to King Liang's strict mouth, if it leaks out and is called by the newspaper, there will be no place for the face of the court, and the emperor will be even more embarrassed. is also a king, but the vision, ability, and courage of the two emperors make judgments.

In addition, there are some things that can be hidden for a while, and the war situation has developed so far, and some people have already seen some strange things from it. The strange arrival of the Western Xia people, the strange defeat of the King of Qi, and the strange fact that the King of Liang went north.

But this matter can't be thought about deeply, let alone discussed, the content is too lethal. However, at this time, the imperial power was far from reaching the level of covering the sky with one hand, and some officials still raised objections to this matter.

However, out of consideration for the stability of the country, he did not issue a direct interrogation in the court, but jointly impeached Qin Feng and Lu Jinglu to appease Yao Gu, cowardly the enemy to avoid the war, delay the fighter plane, and put the friendly army to death.

If these three charges are implemented, Yao Gu will not want to turn over in his life, and it will be a blessing to be able to cut him directly without being escorted into Beijing.

However, the views of several prime ministers on this matter were not unanimous, and the emperor's attitude was even more ambiguous, and in the end, he temporarily shelved the investigation on the grounds that the war was tight and it was not suitable for a change of position, but only issued an order to reprimand a few words without pain, not talking about these crimes, but slow action.

In this way, the original guess seems to be more reliable, and even Su Shi seems to understand something. A writer is a writer, three days later, Lao Su resigned, and the emperor repeatedly resigned on the grounds of his body.

"The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and if Jin Qing doesn't move, he will kill people at every turn. I have been friends with him for many years, and although I have different political views, I don't want to be his ghost. ”

Su Shi did not stay in Kaifeng for a long time after his resignation, and hired the carriage and horse of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau in less than ten years, and prepared to return to his hometown in Meizhou, Sichuan with his family. Before leaving, he didn't say goodbye to anyone, but he arrived at Zhangdun's mansion, and before he entered the door, he threw down a sentence without a beginning or an end and turned away.

"Brother Zizhan, if you are still in the court, where should you go?" Zhang Dian is not a fool, with his status, I am afraid that he knows more inside information than others. It is understandable why Su Shi is so resolute, but he doesn't have this freedom, and he can't help himself in officialdom.

"Unchanged, dangerous; has changed, who can guarantee that he is not the second Cao Mengde? It's hard! Go! Take care! Su Shi didn't look back, he got into the car as he spoke, and ran non-stop as if he was escaping from the plague.

“…… is a good Cao Mengde, but I don't know who is Uncle Liu Huang and who is Sun Zhongmou! Su Shi's meaning can be fully understood, in all fairness, many courtiers feel that Wang Xuan is a man of literature and ability, Anbang and Wu Keding.

No one knows what he has done over the years, but no one wants to find out, without it, there are benefits. It is easy to see the shadow of King Liang in these industries, but in the face of so many interests, it is not a forcible seizure, and it also has a thousand benefits for local taxes, so why do you have to stop it? Even the current emperor knows it.

If Wang Shu could have acted like this at the beginning, don't hurry to pick up the big knife of the new deal and slash it indiscriminately, except for a few people, who would have nothing to do with a relative of the emperor like him.

On the issue of Zhao Hao or Zhao Maid, the opinions of all parties in the DPRK and China are not very unanimous, and Zhao Hao has indeed not done anything serious since he ascended the throne, patronizing and stirring up contradictions among various factions in the court, and for this reason, he also appointed a very unscrupulous flatterer like Cai Jing as the prime minister.

On weekdays, I can't see the changes over the years, but this southern invasion of Western Xia has made it clear that the decline in armaments is so great, and the reason is not that officials at all levels are incompetent and corrupt, and the huge Weiqiao Town and the Daimyo's Mansion Workshop have been hollowed out.

Can it be changed to Zhao Maid to change all this? No one has any doubts in the military, as long as King Liang is really fighting, he will be invincible.

But here's the problem, when a courtier is too capable and too versatile, people can't help but wonder, why don't you just become the emperor yourself, is it necessary to support others?

Su Shi was worried about this matter, he should have hoped that Zhao Maid would be on the throne, but he was not at ease with King Liang. Who can guarantee that this is not a Cao Mengde-like figure? If this is the case, it will be tantamount to aiding the abuses and digging one's own grave.

At present, no one can choose a side, let alone show their attitude, the only thing they can do is to continue to observe and observe the next move of King Qi and King Liang. The ancients often said that after a long time, you will see people's hearts, wait, such a big thing should not be hasty.

Some people can afford to wait, some people can't afford to wait, and the most anxious person is not Su Shi or Zhang Dian, but Emperor Zhao Hao. No one can know what happened, but he can't. These calculations were planned by him and Cai Jing at all, and the reason was very simple, the queen was pregnant, and according to the imperial doctor, it was likely to be a prince.

If there is no heir, Zhao Hao really hasn't moved this thought, he is also his own nephew, and the throne under his ass is still someone else's. For so many years, Zhao Maid has also been a prince in a stable and down-to-earth manner, and there is no bad intention.

But since he knew that he was going to have a son, Zhao Hao looked at how Zhao maid was an eyesore, and finally couldn't help revealing a little bit of his thoughts to his confidants.

If you don't call it a confidant, Cai Jing has this ability, and he can hear the sound of the strings in a few words of understatement. Not only listened, but soon had a plan, it is unreasonable for such a courtier not to be promoted.

Cai Jing's method is to use the hands of the Western Xia people to get rid of Zhao Maid, a big problem, and it is foolproof. If Zhao Mercenary leads the troops to win the expedition, then use this as an excuse to arrange a position for him, as long as he mixes in the court, he is not afraid of not finding faults.

If Zhao Fu is defeated, it will be easier to do it, and the general of the defeated army will not knead as much as he wants, and there will be an excuse to delay the establishment of the prince. The Great Song Dynasty cannot be handed over to such incompetent people, who can object to this reason?

The most likely situation is that the Zhao mercenaries are defeated and killed, or captured by the Tanguts, then the matter of the prince will not be mentioned, even if it is given to him, the courtiers will not agree.

As for whether indulging the Western Xia soldiers and horses to go south will delay the fighter planes and cause greater harm to the people of the country, the ancients didn't know it, and the lesser of the two evils was the lesser of the two. The country is so big, is it a matter of losing some land? There are so many people, is it a matter of tens of thousands of deaths? It's only a matter if the throne is not secured.

It was originally a foolproof strategy, but I didn't expect King Liang to suddenly appear. In fact, Cai Jing originally took into account the problem of King Liang, and once the border is tight, someone will definitely think of him. But that's okay, there's a backhand.

If King Liang does not go out of the mountain, once he insists on going north to rescue the King of Qi, then simply kill two birds with one stone, and use the hands of the Western Xia people to get rid of the two masters. And with the presence of King Liang, the Tangut people are afraid that they will be more ruthless, and the success rate of the plan will be higher.

But King Liang once again let people see what a miracle is, he didn't need a single soldier in the imperial court, and privately raised tens of thousands of new troops, which not only scared Emperor Zhao Hao for several days, but also made Cai Jing chill.

What to do? It's a little late to send troops to fight, the newspaper is too annoying, and everyone knows that King Liang has recruited troops to go north to resist the enemy.

If the court wants to condemn King Liang at this time, not only will the people be incomprehensible, but even many courtiers will not agree. After all, they don't know this plan, and they will not watch the enemy invade and cut off their arms.

As a result, a battle report from Qin Fenglu became the solution, in which Yao Gu mentioned that the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Western Xia army had been greatly improved, not only equipped with steel plate crossbows and siege crossbows, but also rockets! The Forbidden Army could not take advantage of them at all, but could easily suffer losses.

If the Tangut people are so powerful, what will happen to the new army of the King of Shangliang? Cai Jing and the emperor agreed that even if they were still not as powerful as the new army, it would not allow more than 10,000 new troops to retreat.

This is the appointment of the head of the Xia soldiers and horses, and the new army can't take care of it, as long as the king of Qi and the king of Liang can die on the battlefield, they can point their noses and scold the emperor in the court, they can not blame the past, what a big deal.
