As the sky grew brighter, Chen Pi found a lot of information from all over the place.

Including the past wars between Huanqing Road and Western Xia, the courtiers' recitals, and the current personnel of Huanqing Road, the number of troops, and so on.

It was not clear in the past, but Zhao Xu was taken aback.

One of the most shocking to him was that the current strategy of Huanqing Road was the result of a compromise of infighting in the imperial court: the new party wanted to fight, and the old party wanted peace, and in the end it became a passive defense without war and discord!

This strategy was decided before the war started, but in fact, it was already defeated before the battle!

There is no intention to attack, isn't it just to tell the enemy that you can rest assured to come and fight, we only defend!

Zhao Xu was shocked and angry.

If this continues, it is no wonder that there will be a shame of Jingkang, and it is a miracle not to lose the country!

I don't know how long it took, Chen Pi came in quietly and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "The official family, Su Xianggong, Liang Shangshu and others are all waiting in the Vertical Arch Palace." ”

Zhao Xu twisted his eyebrows, his heart was full of anger, and when he heard it, he packed up the information in front of him, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and got up and said, "Let's go." ”

As he spoke, he was already determined to reverse the operational thinking of Huanqing Road and reposition his foreign strategy, especially the so-called bullshit coin!

Before that, he had to clean up the old party in the court, otherwise it would be difficult to make the trip.

Zhao Xu thought in his heart, although he was too anxious and might cause turmoil in the court, he couldn't care about it.

Chen Pi saw that Zhao Xu was still thinking about Cong Cong while walking, followed a few steps, and said: "Official, the news of the death of the Queen Mother has spread all over Kaifeng. In addition, the two prime ministers took leave together. ”

Zhao Xu paused and said, "What did you say?" ”

Chen Pi hurriedly lowered his head, handed over two documents, and said, "Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province just sent it." ”

Zhao Xu didn't even look at it, smiled angrily, and said, "Okay, good!" It's really the mainstay of my Great Song Dynasty, my minister! ”

Chen Pi shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak.

Now, the entire high-level of the Great Song Dynasty is supported by a privy envoy Su Song.

But this one cowered, and did not touch anything except the affairs of the Privy Council, for the reason that the cardinal did not listen to politics.

The Privy Council and the Political Council hold both military and political powers, and there are indeed checks and balances between the two, and this reason is upright and there is nothing wrong with it!

Zhao Xu squinted, if there was a killing intent flashing in his eyes, he said coldly: "Go to the Vertical Arch Palace!" ”

Chen Pi responded, followed behind Zhao Xu, and couldn't help but speed up with Zhao Xu, but he was worried in his heart.

The official family is too anxious and a little rash, and now they have offended several ministers in the court, and the official family is obviously not going to give up, something big is going to happen!

When Zhao Xu arrived at the side door of the Vertical Arch Palace, Su Song, Liang Tao, and Shen Qi were already waiting.

Zhao Xu was just about to go in, Chen Pi suddenly received news again, and said in a low voice: "The official family, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the people from the Yushitai are here." ”

"Let them wait."

Zhao Xu snorted coldly and entered the Vertical Arch Hall directly.

When Su Song, Liang Tao and others saw it, they hurriedly saluted and said, "The ministers and others are looking at the official family." ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand and sat down on the chair, his face calm.

Seeing this, Su Song was silent, and sighed lightly in his heart.

Liang Tao, Shen Qi and others already knew that Erfan was on leave, and they raised their hands to stop talking.

Zhao Xu sat on the chair, thought for a moment, and said directly: "Chen Pi, the meaning of passing on me." agreed to the leave of the second prime minister, and approved them for another three months, so that they can take care of their bodies well, so that they can share worries for the monarch and work for the country. ”

Without waiting for Chen Pi to respond, Su Songmeng's eyes widened, and he couldn't continue to meditate with his mouth closed, and said: "Your Majesty, in this way, the three provinces are in vain, political affairs are curbed, hundreds of officials are uneasy, and the world is turbulent, please think twice." ”

Zhao Xu looked at him coldly and said, "Why, there are a few fewer people in the imperial court, and my Great Song Dynasty is about to die?" Or you will take leave, no more than you, no less than you! ”

Su Song was choked by Zhao Xu's words, knowing that Zhao Xu was angry, he didn't dare to say more.

Zhao Xu reprimanded Su Song, and knew in his heart that government affairs could not be stopped, so he said directly: "Open a room in the political affairs hall, and all the people and institutions in the three provinces will move in, Su Song, you will temporarily take charge of the government and provoke it for me." Don't make excuses with me, if you want to take leave, I will approve you now, criticize you for ten years! ”

Liang Tao, Shen Qi and the others bowed their heads, and quietly glanced at Su Song.

Lu Dafang, Erfan's leave of absence for one month or three months, in fact, as we all know, with the temperament of the official, these three people will not be able to come back.

Ten years, Su Song has been more than 70 years, and he may not be able to live for another ten years.

The corners of Su Song's face twitched, although he was used to being muddy, he would not follow Hu Lai at such a time, sighed in his heart, raised his hand and said, "The minister's order." ”

Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "In addition, the side of Huanqing Road is lonely, I plan to send reinforcements, and the Privy Council must coordinate it as soon as possible." ”

There was a war on Huanqing Road, and it was normal for the imperial court to send troops and reinforcements.

But the Song Dynasty has always been very wary of the border marshal, deep into the bone marrow, Su Song listened, and said: "Your Majesty thinks, how much is appropriate?" ”

In Zhao Xu's mind, there must naturally be at least 100,000, but first, the supply of grain and grass is not available, and second, it may not be all in a short time, so he pondered for a moment and said: "50,000, I want elite soldiers and strong generals, if the Privy Council fools me, I will even seal it up with the Privy Council!" ”

Su Song's old face couldn't help twitching again, and he silently calculated in his heart for a while, and said, "Is it the dispatch of Zhang Qi?" ”

Zhao Xu already had a certain understanding of Zhang Qi, nodded and said: "Yes, I will give him a gold medal, Huanqing Road should be the general, and the army will obey his orders, dare to disobey the will and military orders, first cut and then play!" ”

Su Song looked slightly startled and said, "Your Majesty, no!" With such a large amount of power, the border marshal will cause unrest in the government and the opposition, and if they follow suit everywhere, I am afraid that the trend of the feudal town will return! ”

The control of the army in the Song Dynasty can be said to be unparalleled in ancient times, some of which came from the Zhao family's improper heart, and there were also historical reasons for the five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "For a while, after this battle, I will naturally take back the gold medal and return to Beijing." ”

Zhao Xu didn't give Su Song a chance to object, turned to Liang Tao, and said, "How is the military salary raised?" ”

Liang Tao hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers, ministers and households have raised a million yuan, and they are trying to raise more." ”

The anger in Zhao Xu's heart decreased slightly, and he said with a smile: "Liang Aiqing's news is the only good news I have heard in so many days. ”

Liang Tao raised his hand, unhappy or dry, and said: "The duty of the minister, I dare not be appreciated by His Majesty." ”

Zhao Xu nodded lightly and said, "If all the princes of the government and the opposition can have such a duty as Aiqing, I don't have to worry so much." ”

Liang Tao didn't dare to answer, if he did, and if he passed it out, the people who offended him would not be one or two.

Zhao Xu took the teacup handed by Chen Pi and said, "I have already ordered the inner treasury to allocate another one million to the household department, and the household department must make preparations." Then the front division of the palace transferred 1,000 people and personally escorted them to Huanqing Road. ”

Liang Tao raised his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

After Zhao Xu said this, he fiddled with the tea, and said: "Passing the decree, Zhang Dan, the right servant shoots and the secretary of the Zhongshu Shilang leads the ministry; Zeng Bu, the right servant shot and the Zhongshu Shilang led the work department, and Cai Bian the right servant shot and the Zhongshu Shilang led the Ministry of Rites, and ordered them to go to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

Su Song listened, his brows furrowed.

The right servant and the middle book squire is a title, which is equivalent to the deputy prime minister, and is the assistant of the three ministers, but he also receives six things, which is worth figuring out.

In addition, the three provinces were merged into the political affairs hall, and Su Song vaguely felt that this official family seemed to be chaotic, and under the indiscriminate and indiscriminate actions, there was a deep purpose.
