Although Empress Dowager Gao has a strong personality, she is a woman after all, and she does not approve of sending troops to recruit troops for the situation in Yuezhou, so he also has the same appeasement strategy, but from her standpoint, she will definitely not agree to let Zhao Yan go to Yuezhou, and it just so happens that Sima Guang also has the same opinion, so she also pushed the boat down the river and asked the ministers below to choose another candidate to appease.

Hearing Empress Dowager Gao's words, Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu looked at each other and smiled, they had long expected that Empress Dowager Gao would say this, but then there was nothing to do with them, according to the previous arrangement, it should be Su Shi's turn to play.

Sure enough, I saw that some ministers in front of me recommended a few candidates, but none of them were particularly suitable, and then Su Shi finally stood up and said: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the King of Yue pacified Yuezhou at the beginning, and his prestige in Yuezhou was very great, so the minister thought that it was best to send a royal family to pacify, and it should be able to achieve better results." ”

As soon as Su Shi's words came out, they immediately got the approval of many people, some of these people really felt that what Su Shi said made sense, but more people were arranged by Zhao Yan, such as Zeng Bu and Zhang Dan, and Su Song, they were the first to nod, and with their influence in the court, more people naturally agreed.

Empress Dowager Gao also respected Su Shi very much, and she also felt very reasonable when she heard his words, but she quickly frowned again and said, "Master Su is right, but which royal family should be sent?" ”

Seeing that even the Empress Dowager Gao agreed to send the royal family to go, the ministers with other opinions no longer argued, and began to think hard about who to send, speaking of which, the body of the royal family who went to pacify should not be too low, otherwise it is better to send a minister, there are many royal families with high status, but most of them are relatively old, and Yuezhou is too far away from Kaifeng. In case someone dies halfway before they get to the place, not only will things be delayed, but it will also be difficult to explain, so it is really difficult to choose this candidate for a while.

"Empress Dowager Qiqi, there is a recommendation from the minister!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a tall and thin middle-aged official stand up and say. And when Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu and others saw this person, they all smiled secretly, their previous performances were all to lure this person out, and they were a little worried that this person would not take the bait, but now they can finally rest assured.

"Oh, I don't know who Xing Zuosi recommends?" Empress Dowager Gao saw this middle-aged official and immediately asked, this official's name is Xing Shu, and the official worships Wailang, who is a member of the left division, and there are not many people who may know this person in later generations. But he is listed in the "Biography of the Traitorous Minister" together with Cai Qu, Lu Huiqing and others, but in comparison, Cai Qu and Lu Huiqing and others were included in the "Biography of the Traitorous Minister" somewhat unjustly, after all, they were mainly implicated in the change, but Xing Shu is a staunch conservative, but he is still included in the Biography of the Traitor with Cai Qu and others, which shows the character of this person.

"Empress Dowager Qi, the minister thought that the status of the royal family sent to pacify must not be low. At least someone who is equivalent to the status of King Yue, so it can be counted. In the court, only King Wei and King Yi are the most suitable, but I heard that King Yi has always been obsessed with medical skills and has never paid attention to the government, so the minister thought that King Wei should be sent to pacify Yuezhou! At this time, I saw Xing Shu's face not changing and said, after Zhao Hao's death, the titles of Zhao Hao and Zhao Hao have changed. Only Zhao Yan refused to change the title, because the title of King Yue was still what he wanted from Zhao Yan at the beginning.

Seeing Xing Shu's proposal that Zhao Hao go to pacify Yuezhou, Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu and the others looked at each other again and smiled, because Xing Shu's words were in their arms, and Xing Shu had always been very close to Zhao Hao. When Zhao Hao was seriously ill, although the palace had been blocking the news, Xing Shu was very keenly aware of something, so he vigorously pushed Zhao Hao into the palace, Zhao Hao was also more enthusiastic about this, and ran to the Empress Dowager Gao every day, but unfortunately Zhao Hao later brought Zhao Yan back, and Zhao Hao was immediately honest.

However, even if Zhao Hao's plan to fight for the throne was unsuccessful, it did not affect the relationship between Xing Shu and Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao ostensibly stayed at home and studied hard, but he often met Xing Shu, through Xing Shu he can also learn about the movements in the court, and by the way, he won over some people, and Xing Shu played the role of a strategist, giving advice to Zhao Hao, as for the purpose is nothing more than to fight for power, of course, it would be better if he could support Zhao Hao to ascend the throne.

Now Xing Shu stands up and recommends Zhao Hao to go to Yuezhou, in fact, he has his selfish intentions, because he knows that the biggest gap between Zhao Hao and Zhao Yan is that he has not made any credit to the court, which also makes him have no prestige in the court, and now the situation in Yuezhou is unstable, this is definitely good news in Xing Shu's opinion, as long as Zhao Hao goes there for a turn, whether it has any effect or not, it will be a credit after he comes back, and the Nanyang area is becoming more and more important, Zhao Yan was there before, and they couldn't interfere if they wanted to, but with Zhao Yan's departure, Nanyang has become a borderless land, and it is just the right opportunity to meddle in Nanyang.

When Empress Dowager Gao heard Xing Shu propose to let her second son go to Yuezhou, she also showed a hesitant look on her face, after all, she had two biological sons in total, Zhao Hao died young, so she loved Zhao Hao very much, and the thought of sending Zhao Hao to Yuezhou was so far away, and I heard that it was too hot over there, which made Empress Dowager Gao unable to make up her mind for a while.

"Queen Mother, the minister thinks that what Xing Zuosi said is very true, the King of Wei and the former emperor and the king of Yue are all brothers, and their status is extremely noble, if he goes to Yuezhou, he will definitely be able to stabilize Yuezhou!" At this time, I saw another chubby official stand up and say, this person's name is Zhou Fu, and he is usually very close to Xing Shu and Zhao Hao, and it seems that he also understands that it is a great thing for Xing Shu to recommend Zhao Hao to go to Yuezhou, so he also stood up to support.

"Queen Mother, if the King of Wei goes to Yuezhou, the minister is willing to accompany the King of Wei to assist the King of Wei in pacifying Yuezhou!" At this time, I saw Xing Shu speak again, if he wanted to meddle in the south, he couldn't rely on Zhao Hao alone, so he proposed to run in person.

Xing Shu and Zhou Fu said this, and other officials who were co-opted by Zhao Hao also agreed, and finally even Sima Guang thought that it was very appropriate to let Zhao Hao run, after all, he was also a prince, Zhao Yan was able to pacify Jiaozhi at the beginning, and now Zhao Hao is just appeasing Yuezhou, there must be no problem.

Seeing that the ministers agreed on the same opinion, Empress Dowager Gao was not easy to object, and she also felt that it was not a bad thing to let Zhao Hao go out for a walk, after all, he was a little older than Zhao Yan, and what Zhao Yan could do, her son could definitely do better. With this thought, in the end, Empress Dowager Gao finally nodded, and the matter was finally settled.

After the end of the court, Zhao Hao must be edicted into the palace, at this time Xing Shu took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the Wei Palace, speaking of which when Zhao Hao first ascended the throne, Zhao Hao was also married, but he still lived in the palace, the reason was that the Empress Dowager Gao was reluctant to let this son out of the palace, which made Zhao Hao still a little dissatisfied, and later some courtiers proposed to let Zhao Hao out of the palace in the court, which made the Empress Dowager Gao build a luxurious Wei Mansion for Zhao Hao outside the palace, compared to Zhao Yan's Yue Wangfu that flooded at every turn in summer, this Wei Wangfu is much stronger, Not only is it on the edge of the palace, but it also covers a large area, and the construction is naturally very luxurious, which shows how eccentric the Empress Dowager Gao is.

When Xing Shu came to the Wei Palace, Zhao Hao was sitting in the study reading books, his love of reading was not fake, but it was a pity that no matter how many books he read, he could not compare with Zhao Yan's erudition, which was also the most depressed place for Zhao Hao, he really couldn't figure out where Zhao Yan, who didn't read all day, got those knowledge?

"Your Highness, good news!" Xing Shu was a frequent visitor to the Wei Palace, so he didn't need to report it, and just broke into the study and shouted with a happy face.

"Oh? What is it that makes Uncle He so happy? Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile when he saw Xing Shu coming in, I saw that Zhao Hao was more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, tall and elegant, if you look closely, you can see that he is somewhat similar to Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan, after all, they are all brothers, although their mothers are different, their appearance is a little biased towards Zhao Shu, but Zhao Hao may have read too much, and there is always a feminine air on his body, which is completely different from Zhao Yan's sunny and cheerful.

"Great thing! ...... in the court today, Xing Shu was very excited, and immediately talked about the things in the court today, especially the matter of the last thing he took the initiative to recommend Zhao Hao to go to Yuezhou to pacify, so as to highlight his own merits.

However, Zhao Hao frowned tightly after listening to Xing Shu's words, and after a long while, he put down the book in his hand and said, "With my uncle, what's the good thing about going to Yuezhou to appease a group of foreigners?" And I heard that the climate in Yuezhou is hot, miasma and plague are rampant, and if I am not careful, I may die there, so wouldn't I have to take a big risk to go there? ”

Hearing Zhao Hao say this, Xing Shu couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that Zhao Hao was good in other aspects, but he was a little timid and afraid, even if he wanted to compete for the position, he did it secretly, and he was usually unwilling to take a little risk, which was far worse than Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan took the initiative to go to the south, and he also single-handedly developed the trade in Nanyang.

Of course, Xing Shu naturally didn't dare to say the above, so he could only helplessly persuade Zhao Hao: "Your Highness, although the environment in Yuezhou is a little worse, if you can calm the situation there, it will be a great achievement for Your Highness, which can greatly enhance Your Highness's prestige in the court, and since King Yue returned to the capital, the impact on the Nanyang area will definitely weaken, at this time, if Your Highness can take advantage of the situation in Nanyang and control the situation in Nanyang, this will be a great benefit to Your Highness!" ”

"This ......" Hearing Xing Shu say this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but hesitate a little, he was jealous and envious of Zhao Yan, knowing that Zhao Yan can have today's status, mainly because he has huge strength behind him, among which the sea trade from the south to the South Sea is one of them, if he can grab the sea trade in his hands, doesn't it mean that he can also have the strength like Zhao Yan in the future?
