A magpie tilted its head and flew towards it curiously, but as soon as its paws were on the plum branches, the snow fell in a torrent, and the magpie flew to the sky with a frightened cry......

The hall was so quiet that the magpie's cry could be heard clearly.

Zhao Shu was not angry.

He couldn't think of it more complicated, it had nothing to do with his wisdom, he was locked up in the palace before, and several palace ministers had limited ability, and after succeeding to the throne, they were weak and sick, which constrained his understanding. But he can still think clearly.

Whether a few prime ministers answer yes or no, there will be bad consequences. In fact, when he saw this recital, his head hurt.

So Zhao Shu changed another question: "Zhuqing, do you think Cai Ting is competent?" ”

If all of Wang Ju's claims are correct, it would be good.

It's best not to fight, anyway, Sun Wei has to go down, and the imperial court must send an important minister to Gyeongju, Cai Ting is an old minister and an important minister, and he has the qualifications and political achievements to serve as the new governor of Gyeongju.

is not afraid of fighting, Cai Ting has outstanding ability, and with a small road of troops and financial resources, he can repel the 100,000 army of Western Xia. That's a lot...... How wonderful! The imperial court does not spend much money, and the military and financial resources will not be nervous, and the Western Xia will also be quiet again, the simple truth is that it is a small Huanqing Road, you can't deal with it, and the entire Great Song Dynasty has more than one million troops!

However, Zhao Shu was very skeptical, if he was allowed to choose, he would rather choose Han Qi than Cai Ting, at least Han Qi had the experience of fighting against large-scale legions in Western Xia.

Han Qi remained silent.

This question is a little easier to answer than the one at the beginning.

However, it's not that simple.

Wang Ju guessed that Western Xia would not invade and exchange Cai Ting to Gyeongju. It's almost a horizontal transfer. Doesn't matter.

Western Xia invasion. Gyeongju Zhizhou was a big fire pit, and Han Qi even wished to let Cai Ting go. Anyway, the Cai brothers, he doesn't like any of them.

But he still couldn't answer.

Han Qi swept the remaining seven prime ministers with his eyes.

No one should have leaked it, and the reason is simple. Wang Ju analyzed the reasons why Gyeongju was attacked. In any case, the imperial court will inevitably allocate some resources to Gyeongju in the next few months. If the news leaked, Western Xia would not attack Gyeongju.

But this is not a good thing, Western Xia will not attack Gyeongju. But it's not that there's nowhere to attack. As long as Li Liangzuo wanted to invade the Song Dynasty, the long border of the Song Dynasty was like a sieve everywhere, and some of them were the locations chosen by Li Liangzuo. However, at that time, the center of gravity tended to be Gyeongju, and other regions were not prepared, although it may not be as "important" as Wang Ju said, but one had a heart, and the other had no heart, casually Yanyan, Huanzhou, Jingwei and Qin Feng, tearing a big gap, it was not good for the Song Dynasty!

Han Qi was not worried about leaks. It's these people......

There should be another one, Wu Kui. But he went home to mourn, and he wouldn't have a good impression of himself, without him, Fu Bi regained his love after a hundred days of mourning, but he was forced by himself to go home to keep a big funeral for more than two years. Therefore, the court seized love, and Wu Kui did not come out.

Among these seven people, Zeng Gongliang can barely stand on the same front with himself, Ouyang Xiu is his right-hand man, it turns out that Hu Su is his own person, but he is the teacher of Fan Zhongyan's eldest son Fan Chunyou, and it was Fan Zhongyan who pulled him up, Fan Chunren tried his best to oppose the Puyi dispute, and also against himself, Hu Su was caught in the middle and began to be silent. However, Han Qi is not afraid that Hu Su will have problems.

There is another person, Zhao Xuan, this person is not serious about power and has high integrity, but Han Qi is also not worried, he has high integrity and virtue, so he will not betray the means.

What worries Han Qi is the remaining three, they are all promoted by Zhao Shu, to put it mildly, Zhao Shu uses them to carry out some balance and constraints on himself, and he has set aside the power of Xifu, they are all prime ministers of Xifu, and they must be a little unhappy in their hearts.

Especially Wen Yanbo, he must be scheming, have means, and have qualifications and prestige that are not weaker than himself. Even because he used the great filial piety period to force Fu Bi to retreat again, he also forced Wen Yanbo to keep his filial piety for more than two years.

If you say okay, when Cai Ting can't do it, he will fight and fight, there is no need to keep secrets, Wen Yanbo will move this matter out, Wang Ju said that it doesn't matter, he is just a kid whose hair has not yet grown, and he can count the invasion of the Western Xia people, which is already great, but such an important personnel arrangement, he seems to have no brains, and he listened to the words of a teenage hairy child, plus many ministers are disgusted with him because of Pu Yi, so Wen Yanbo will turn this matter over again, and there is no need for Fan Zhen to use Yihuo to force himself, You will have to take responsibility for this matter and quit the power center!

It seems to be very complicated, but even without Han Qi, the intrigue of the power center in the past is still like this......

Therefore, Han Qi modestly stared at Wen Yanbo: "Kuanfu, I'm not familiar with Cai Ting, what do you think?" ”

Compared to Han Qi being roasted on lava by Zhao Shu every day, Wen Yanbo is much easier, after the filial piety period is over, Zhao Shu shows goodwill, but Wen Yanbo doesn't appreciate much, with his prestige and qualifications, he is only serving as a vacated Xifu minister, as for the essentials of such a big favor? And he also faintly saw that this Puyi dispute was a level pit. Therefore, he did not oppose or support it.

It is precisely because of this attitude that he has reaped a lot of benefits for him, Wang Anshi was sad, and then Wen Yanbo handed the baton to Sima Guang......

But speaking of which, Wang Ju can get some fishy smell with Wen Yanbo, one is bamboo paper, and the other is that Wen Yanbo has trained Zhang Zai, Wang Ju is Zhang Zai's protégé, of course, this climbs too far, unless Wang Ju learns from Su Dongpo and personally visits Ouyang Xiu, I am your protégé, otherwise Wen Yanbo will not buy this account.

Therefore, he said truthfully: "Your Majesty, now everyone is speculating whether the Western Xia people will send a large army to invade as Wang Ju said, and everyone dare not conclude. If the Western Xia really invaded, it would indeed be as Wang Ju said, it may be about 100,000 troops, at least in the previous Li Yuanhao's time, and the Tubo, Liao and our dynasty have fought successively, each time they have sent many troops, less than 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. However, the old minister was still very suspicious, as far as the old minister knew in Xifu, there were only more than 40 battalions of officers and soldiers in Gyeongju. And it can't be all pumped out yet. For example, last year's battle in Dongjian Valley. Wang Ju's forces were very insufficient. The number of cavalry was small, but even in that situation, they still risked their lives and only drew six or seven battalions of officers and men to fight. The reason is very simple, Liyuan Fort and Pingrong Town must be guarded by troops in case of loss. It is only a county of Huachi, with a small area, enlarged to the entire Huanqing Road. Because of the road, the proportion of those left behind is even higher. In other words, the number of troops that Gyeongju can draw is only about 20 battalions. ”

Zhao Shu frowned.

There are more than 20 battalions, but there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses.

He doesn't know what to do yet, if it is really as Wen Yanbo said, he can only transfer more than 20 battalions of soldiers and horses, and the actual strength may be less than 10,000.

"Your Majesty, this force has a huge gap, even if Cai Ting has the ability, he will still lose."

"Wen Qing. There seem to be many strong men and horses on Huanqing Road, as well as volunteers, right? ”

"陛xià. Those strongmen are brave and brave, they can only be said to lead the villagers to defend their homeland, lack of training in peacetime, or the training time is short, the run-in period is shorter, shorter than cooperation, when the two countries are really at war, who dares to lead these villagers to fight? If you can fight, Ji'er Village, Dongjian Valley and Zali Village will fight three battles, why doesn't Wang Ju send some strong horses and strongmen to cooperate? Therefore, in the opinion of the old minister, the country is in a difficult time, and it is best to make friends with the Western Xia, and order the front-line soldiers not to make trouble, so as to avoid unnecessary contradictions. ”

Han Qi agreed with the previous words, it was really a fight, if the rear did not support it, then Gyeongju would be very dangerous, but he was unhappy in the back, what is good with Western Xia, isn't it good, as soon as the official family in front succeeds to the throne, the back will immediately open up the mutual market, and give the New Year's gift again, how to make friends, is it good to cede the entire Shaanxi to Western Xia?

But at this time, he also thought it clearly, and said: "Your Majesty, whether Cai Ting is competent or not, in fact, there is a good way, immediately recall Cai Ting to the capital to report on his work, explain these situations clearly, and then ask him if he has confidence." ”

kicked the ball to Cai Ting again.

Zhao Shu thought for a while and said, "Just follow Han Qing's words." ”

…………

Zhao Ji hooked his hand, and the two eunuchs understood, and immediately walked over.

"Say."

Eunuch Zhang said, "Your Highness, let me tell you." ”

Actually, no, many things in it do need to be kept secret, but for the sake of the future master's happiness, it doesn't matter whether it needs to be kept secret or not.

Eunuch Zhang chose what Wang Ju said, as for Sun Wei, he omitted it, first, as long as he said it, everyone was unhappy, and the second Sun Wei had nothing to do with Zhao Wei, at least not at the moment.

This one, that's good.

And unlike Zhao Shu, he was in a bad mood, and some didn't listen. Zhao Ji listened to it and asked, "That gunpowder is so powerful?" ”

"That's, such a big stone wall, with a loud bang, it collapsed. However, the slave maid paid attention to it, Wang Zhixian, who used gunpowder to open the mine, was not Chuang, but General Pan Mei, who used his men to mine gold sand with gunpowder after pacifying Lingnan. It's all passed down in one line. It's just that Wang Zhixian has made improvements to gunpowder to make it more powerful. ”

A science, no matter what kind of knowledge, it didn't fall from the sky, but it was also amazing, Zhao Ji nodded, expressing approval.

"It's just that those Fanzi call Wang Zhixian Little Wang Laozi, and Wang Zhixian is not even crowned for a long time, and he feels very distressed."

"Hahaha," Zhao Ji laughed back and forth.

Zhao Ji was happy, and Eunuch Zhang was also happy, and said, "It's his maid who is called ugly." The slave maid has never seen such an ugly woman, and on the way back, she also discussed with Han Nei, and planned to report to the official's family, if she has time to go out of the palace on an errand, when passing by Xiliu Lane, she plans to say to the line called Qiongniang, let her go directly to the northwest, at least better than the maid of Zhong'er. ”

"You have too many things, Wang Qing is busy with affairs in the northwest, and suddenly there is a beautiful maid beside him, aren't you distracted!" Zhao Ji suddenly shouted.

"Ah," Eunuch Zhang was surprised, what kind of reason is this? If that's the case, Han Gong and them will be raised by dozens and hundreds of prostitutes, then wouldn't they have to do things? But where did he dare to distinguish, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, there are not many slaves and maids." ”

"When that's the case, go on," Zhao Ji said again, then raised his head and looked in a certain direction, it was not a way to do it himself, alas, my aunt was really a bit of a headache.

Eunuch Zhang told the matter as it was.

"Cai Ting?" Zhao Ji said strangely.

"That's the ......" Eunuch Zhang briefly introduced Cai Ting, Cai Ting can also be regarded as an important minister, but he is not a top important minister, so Eunuch Zhang knows some of Cai Ting's deeds, but it is not comprehensive.

Zhao Ji took a few steps.

No, Wang Ju is not right, why, look at Lu Yijian, doesn't he have wisdom and means, but does he understand military affairs? Not only do you not understand, but you are completely military blind. Look at Di Qing again, he understands military affairs, but how many means, if he has the means and scheming, he will not let a group of civil servants become like that.

Therefore, Gyeongju will be in a critical situation.

If it's true, Cai Ting may not be able to do it, the distribution of troops is not right, as little as five to one, more than ten to one, unless the first-class name comes, otherwise Gyeongju is in danger. If it's fake, Wang Ju won't be able to eat and walk around.

Therefore, Zhang Kai used the word judgment in his heart.

Even if Wang Ju raised a private soldier, even if there was no Western Xia invasion, it would not be a big deal, at most, it would make people secrete some dirty ink in the future, and Wang Ju didn't want to be a spotless gentleman like Fan Zhongyan, just splash it. Unless Wang Juzhen raises private soldiers, the court will definitely not let it go.

However, the new Zhizhou transferred by the imperial court is not effective, Dashun City will be lost, once lost, Western Xia will send tens of thousands of troops to attack Huachi, and Wang Ju will even be in danger of death at that time! It's a catastrophe, an invisible judgment.

But Zhang Kai only thought of one, there were actually two trials. The second trial was whether Western Xia would actually invade Gyeongju.

Now the nine most important bigwigs of the Song Dynasty in the political hall are all hoping that Wang Ju guessed wrongly, but he really made a mistake, because Wang Ju's calligraphy, the director zhì monarchs and ministers were worried about it, and even caused countless wastes and losses, at that time, the court may hold Wang Ju responsible, and even demote Wang Ju to Lingnan or other remote areas, and from then on, Wang Ju's ability and wisdom will also be scored a very low score. Wang Jushi's journey is over......

And it's really hard to say, it stands to reason that last year's three wars would only push the Western Xia people to invade Gyeongju even more, but what if there was an accident, for example, the imperial court was worried that the troops and materials inclined to Gyeongju were too heavy, and Li Liangzuo canceled this plan, or Wang Ju's wings were fanning and fanning, and he invisibly fanned the inside of Western Xia, and Li Liangzuo would not send troops. The second judgment came upon the king.

It's not that Wang Ju was so chic when he said to Yao Ji, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, I want to go to hell, I really want to go to hell!

Of course, the Tanguts invaded as promised, and Wang Ju escaped the second trial, but with the third judgment came again. If that trial is avoided, Wang Ju will make a great contribution, and Zhao Ji will succeed to the throne, and the sky will be high and the sea will be wide from now on! (To be continued......)
