The young man surnamed Li is very greedy for the royal ticket number, in addition to using the royal ticket number to "launder" the money and family property of him and the people behind him, he also wants to mix a hand in it.

Although the royal ticket number has adopted a low interest rate, it has a deep background and a huge amount of money, and it will develop in the future, and it is really lying down to make money!

It's not a small amount of money, it's a lot of money!

The young man thought of a lot of ways to make money just a little thought, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

The old man beside him saw it, was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Young owner, this royal ticket number must not be messed with." ”

The young man naturally knew in his heart that the mere fact of 'borrowing money from the household department' showed that the water behind the royal ticket number was terrifying!

The young man surnamed Li was still a little unwilling, and suddenly turned his head to look at the old man, and said, "Since this royal ticket number can't be inserted, can we get one ourselves?" ”

The old man was stunned, shook his head after a little contemplation, and said: "Young owner, don't say whether this royal ticket number can be agreed, just this way, without sufficient support, a slight run will go bankrupt." ”

The young man surnamed Li was stunned, even though he was unwilling, he also nodded.

He, the housekeeper, was right, without enough support, the business would not be able to get off the ground, and the interest paid would be enough to crush them.

What's more, the royal ticket number will definitely not allow anyone to rob them of business, and a little trickery can kill them.

Not far from the royal ticket number, Xiao Tiancheng barely concealed anything, and looked at the bustle in front of the royal ticket number with one hand behind his back.

The sturdy young man beside him sneered and said, "Squire, we really guessed right." The money of the Song Kingdom was tossed by the little emperor, and he had to lend money to the officials. ”

Xiao Tiancheng smiled, his eyes flashed with smugness, and said: "With such a reckless army, this Song Kingdom and Li Xia are really exactly the same." ”

The sturdy young man naturally understood, and the more sneers on his face.

Xiao Tiancheng said 'exactly the same', in addition to the two countries' 'reckless military force', there were also 'little emperors' and 'harem regents' before, the difference is that Zhao Xu has been pro-government, Xixia is still the Empress Dowager Liang, and the two parties of the emperor and queen are peaceful on the surface, but secretly there are waves.

Xiao Tiancheng looked at it for a while, and suddenly said, "How is the background of this royal ticket number?" ”

can let the Song State Household Department borrow money to make a fortune, not to mention financial resources, there must be that relationship.

The words 'royal ticket number' are enough to expose a lot of things.

The sturdy young man glanced around, approached and said in a low voice: "I found out some, the shopkeeper Zhu Qianzhen and the Concubine Zhu of the Song Guoguan family are brother and sister, although they are not relatives, but they also have this relationship." There is also some unreliable news, saying that it is a highness in the palace who is about to leave the palace and become a vassal domain, it seems to be the ninth highness. ”

Xiao Tiancheng frowned, he had some research on the Song Imperial Palace, but Emperor Shenzong had many sons, most of whom were minors, so he didn't pay attention to it, and for a while, the Nine Highnesses didn't think of who it was, and he didn't know that Zhao Yan was a blind man, otherwise he would definitely be suspicious.

Xiao Tiancheng just thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "That makes sense." It's the same thing going around and around. I have long heard that the Song people are very corrupt, and this time I have seen it. ”

The sturdy young man thought with his toes that he could know the dirt in it, then looked around again, and said in a low voice: "Shilang, it's been so long, the Song people should have discovered us, why hasn't there been any movement at all?" ”

Xiao Tiancheng looked calm and said, "Don't worry, the Song people must be testing us." Calculate the time, they should get the news, wait, the little emperor who has been hiding and refusing to see me will not be able to bear it. ”

The sturdy young man smiled proudly and said, "The squire is clever. They are preparing for war with Li Xia, and we are afraid that we will scare them to death. ”

Xiao Tiancheng snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the special situation, I would still want the Song people to have a good memory!" ”

'Memories' is talking about the 'Lanyuan Alliance' during the Zhenzong period, and that battle turned the Song Dynasty from an offensive to a defensive one, completely abandoning the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

Zhao Xu sat in the teahouse for a long time, until the number of officials in front of the royal ticket number slowly decreased, and nothing more happened, then he stood up and said with a smile: "It's a good start." ”

Chen Pi followed with a smile: "What the official said is that in the future, the court officials will be accustomed to it, so they won't feel strange." ”

As Zhao Xu's personal eunuch, Chen Pi knows more things than Zhang Dian and others.

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction and went downstairs with a smile.

When Kaifeng City slowly gets used to it, the royal ticket number slowly develops more, and this Jiaozi can also develop with it.

Not long after Zhao Xu came downstairs, a yellow door hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words in Zhao Xu's ear.

Zhao Xu's expression changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Really? ”

Huang Men bowed and said, "Yes, the one who reported to the confidential room was personally sent back by Commander Nan." ”

Zhao Xu's expression changed for a moment, and he said: "Order the two Zhang Xianggong to go to the Vertical Arch Hall immediately and return Xu Shangshu to Beijing." Ordered the Qingtianwei, the Imperial City Division, and the army everywhere to closely monitor every move of Western Xia! ”

"Yes." Huangmen hurried back.

Zhao Xu took the people and returned to the palace quickly.

Just now, Huangmen reported a big news: Western Xia is moving and is gathering troops, and it seems that it is going to start a war in advance.

In previous years, the wars in the Song and Xia were mostly in September and October, but this time the Western Xia may have been provoked by the Song Dynasty, and they couldn't bear it, so they were going to start the war in advance.

Xiao Tiancheng and the others, who were not far away, saw such a conspicuous group of people as Zhao Xu, but they just glanced at it and didn't care.

The sturdy young man spoke and said, "Shilang, do you think the Song people will sue for peace?" ”

In his mind, in the face of Xia Liao's alliance, what else could the Song people do except seek peace?

Xiao Tiancheng didn't think that Da Song had any other way, so he smiled faintly and didn't speak.

When Zhao Xu returned to the palace, Zhang Xuan and Zhang Qi had already received the news and stood outside the vertical arch hall.

As soon as he saw Zhao Xu coming back, Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows, looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Official, Xia Ren came just in time!" This battle, pro generally will not be so long, the goods have been ordered, according to the order of the order, the sooner the order is placed, the sooner the end of the better. ”

Zhang Qi was beside him, his temples were white, and his face was calm and flat.

Zhao Xu didn't go in, stood at the door of the vertical arch hall, deliberated again and again in his heart, and said: "The battle with Li Xia is naturally as early as possible, and it should not be delayed for too long." This is our consensus and our plan. But what we originally expected was September and October, and suddenly advanced to the present, Qinfeng Road, Huanqing Road, Xihe Road, etc., can they be ready to win this battle? ”

The invasion of Western Xia was an all-out effort, not to mention the 300,000 troops, the queen mother, the little emperor, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, almost all came.

With the blessing of 'new hatred and old hatred', powerful combat power may erupt.

Zhang Dian seemed to be worried about Zhao Xu's retreat, just like Emperor Zhenzong back then, and said decisively: "The official family can rest assured, at this time, the world has changed, we are already invincible, as long as we plan properly, it is a matter of time to defeat Li Xia." What we have to consider is how to use this battle to deal the biggest blow to Li Xia, forcing them to be unable to invade the Great Song Dynasty for at least three years. ”

If we want to carry out reforms, we must have a relatively peaceful external environment.

Zhao Xu was actually not worried in his heart, the purpose of the Western Xia's battle was not to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, but nothing more than to fight for the Song-Xia border fortress and obtain the 'opening of the market', the 'New Year's currency' plus the 'war compensation'.

But in the battle with Western Xia, Zhao Xu was still not sure, and his eyes looked at Zhang Qi.

Without waiting for Zhang Qi to speak, Zhang Dian said in a deep voice again: "Official, in this battle, the minister plans to go with the privy envoy, one to supervise the army, and the other to stimulate morale, this battle, if it can't be won, the two of us will go back to Beijing!" ”

Zhang Qi glanced at Zhang Dian, who should be the most apprehensive now.

The sudden mobilization of troops in Western Xia was unexpected, and what was even more unexpected was that there were also signs of activity in the Liao State.

In this case, the most correct response of the Song Dynasty was 'peace talks'!

In peace talks with Liao, as long as Liaoguo retreats, then it doesn't matter whether Western Xia retreats or not, whether it fights or not.

Now, the big figures of the imperial court are outside Beijing to promote the implementation of the 'new law' and 'new deal', otherwise they would have come to the palace and hyped it up.
