Even the Empress Dowager Gao couldn't sit still, and you can imagine the attitude of the government and the opposition.

The government hall is under tremendous pressure.

I don't know how many people wrote to express their 'deep worries' about the court's battle with the Xia people at any cost this time, and 'cautiously urged' the court to 'take the people of Li as the priority', 'the soldiers, the murder weapons, the saints do not do it', 'the war does not overflow, and the people's fat and ointment are wasted' and so on.

The impeachment of Zhang Dian and others is also increasing, and there is no time for Kaifeng City to stop.

A few days later, a carrier pigeon from Huanqing Road flew into the confidential room again.

Zhao Xu hurriedly came out of the vertical arch hall and sat in the confidential room to wait.

Before the letter arrived at the confidential room, Su Song, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and Zhao Xu arrived before and after, all waiting.

After the three of them saw the salute, they sat down under Zhao Xu, waiting a little anxiously.

Huanzhou was besieged, it was a huge 'loss', if the Xia people continued to go south, it could really threaten Kaifeng!

Zhao Xu and the current imperial court are betting on this battle, once they win, they will be able to gain the upper hand in the public opinion of the government and the opposition, and they can promote the reform of the law more powerfully!

But if it fails, the blow to Zhao Xu and the imperial court is unimaginable.

Initial website: m.

First of all, Zhang Dian and Cai Bian, the two leaders of the law-changing faction, have no shame to stand in the imperial court!

This is a huge blow and setback to Zhao Xu's plan to change the law and strengthen the country!

Soon, the note on the carrier pigeon was delivered, and the soldier Langzhong also held another long piece of paper that had not dried his pen and ink, and said: "Official, it has been translated, please take a look." ”

Zhao Xu quickly took it, Su Song, Zhang Dan, and Cai Bian couldn't help it, and they all stood behind Zhao Xu and stared at the note.

This was written in secret language, and after translation, Zhao Xu took a deep breath and looked at it with his eyes wide open.

'On the Chenqi, Huanzhou was not lost, Mubo Town held on, and ambushes were set up on all sides, which was a strategy to lure the enemy into depth. The other roads are safe and sound, please rest assured, the Xia people will definitely not be able to break through the Huanqing Road. ’

Zhao Xu and the others seriously examined the content of the letter, with different expressions.

Zhao Xu didn't feel much relieved, Zhang Qi's letter didn't have much content, only one was 'luring the enemy to go deeper' was the focus.

Su Song, Zhang Xuan, and Cai Bian looked at each other, and then glanced at Zhao Xu's silent side face, Su Song was a former privy envoy, and was silent for a while, and said: "Official, since Zhang Qi has a plan in his heart, there is no need to worry." Zhang Qi is not a big talker, more than 200,000 troops, act cautiously, there will be no big defeat. ”

Zhang Dian was dissatisfied with Su Song's words, his eyebrows erected, and he said, "The official family ......"

Before Zhang Xuan finished speaking, Zhao Xu suddenly said: "Xu Jiang is on Xihe Road, right?" Does he have any faith? ”

Su Song and Zhang Duan were stunned, but the military department Lang Zhong said: "Back to the official's house, Xu Shangshu approved a few military affairs, but there was not a word about side affairs. ”

Cai Bian groaned and said, "The official family, the Xia people are menacing, Xu Shangshu carefully follows the instructions of the official family, and he probably doesn't want to affect Zhang Jinglue's strategy." ”

Zhao Xu secretly exhaled and looked at the letter again. Although Zhang Kai didn't say much, he paid some bottom, and the siege of Huanqing Road should not be a loss.

Zhao Xu thought twice in his heart and said, "There is no need to appease me, at this point, there is absolutely no reason to retreat." Go ahead, and don't send a letter to Zhang Kai and put pressure out of thin air. I estimate that in three or five days at most, there should be results. ”

The war has been open for nearly half a month, the Xia people are attacking, Zhang Ji is luring the enemy to go deeper, and the frontal battle may be just around the corner.

Su Song, Zhang Dan, and Cai Bian all secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhao Xu's tone was gentle, and there was no panic. Now, they are not afraid of something happening on the front line, but they are worried about Zhao Xu's repeated attitude.

Zhao Xu said a few words, then left the confidential room and continued to deal with political affairs in the political affairs hall.

In the evening, Zhao Xu sat on the main seat of the vertical arch hall, and two little guys sat below-the ninth brother Zhao Ji and the thirteenth brother Zhao Yi.

Zhao Ji was caught by Zhao Xu because he secretly ran to the fish pond to take a bath, and Zhao seemed to almost hit and injured someone in the palace, and both of them were pressed in the palace by Zhao Xu.

Zhao Ji pursed his lips, puffed out his face, and practiced calligraphy stroke by stroke.

Zhao seemed to have his lips open and closed the endorsement, and he didn't turn a page for a long time.

The two looked up at each other from time to time, and then quietly glanced at Zhao Xu, not knowing what the hell they had in their hearts.

Zhao Xu didn't care about their small movements, and looked at the notebook in front of him.

This is the transcript of the prefect of Jiangning Prefecture, saying that 'the flood is very urgent, worse than in previous years, and there are countless victims, please exempt the three counties from money and grain for one year'.

It stands to reason that such a thing is reasonable, and the court and Zhao Xu have no reason to refute it, but Zhang Dan's instructions on it are: No.

This made Zhao Xu think deeply.

Zhang Dian is not a person who disregards the people's livelihood because of party disputes, which shows that there is something wrong with it.

Zhao Xu took out the map from the drawer, found Jiangning Mansion, looked at the location of Jiangning Mansion, and thought about other related scripts, and it didn't take long for him to understand, his eyes beating coldly.

Jiangning Mansion, that is, the area of Nanjing in later generations.

If Jiangning Mansion is flooded, it will definitely not be the three counties, and it will not only be Jiangning Mansion. Zhao Xu remembered that there were several prefectures along the upper and lower reaches of the river that also had similar scripts.

However, what they shouted was not asking for free money and food, but asking the imperial court to allocate money and grain for disaster relief.

Zhao Xu looked at one location after another, some of these locations are near, some are far, some are high and some are low, if it is flooding, it should flood a whole area, but it is separated by threes, threes, twos and twos, and a few places between them, and this year's 'harvest' was played!

Zhao Xu understood, and kept this recital with an indifferent face.

The sky gradually darkened, and Liu Meiren appeared outside the door of the vertical arch hall in a graceful manner, holding a plate with both hands, and came in with a smile, but when she caught a glimpse of Zhao Ji and Zhao Xiang, she hurriedly restrained her demeanor and became calm and elegant.

Zhao Ru and Zhao Ji glanced at each other, and both of them stared at Liu Meiren.

Liu Meiren was uncomfortable by the two of them, saluted slightly, and then walked to Zhao Xu and said softly: "The concubine has seen the official family. ”

Zhao Xu looked at the soup bowl in her hand and said with a smile: "No courtesy, I happen to be hungry." ”

Liu Meiren was overjoyed, stepped forward to open the lid, and quickly gave it to Zhao Xusheng, saying, "Then the official family drink quickly." ”

Zhao Xu smiled, and just took it, suddenly a yellow door appeared at the door, and said, "Qiqi official's house, Xihe Road is here." ”

Zhao Xu's face changed, he put down the bowl violently, and rushed out quickly.

"Official ......" Liu Meiren was about to shout, but seeing that Zhao Xu had already run out, she could only stomp her feet coquettishly.

Zhao Xu came to the confidential room, and Lang Zhong of the military department hurriedly handed a report to Zhao Xu, and said happily: "Official, Xu Shangshu and Xihe Road passed through the joint report of Wang Wenyu, they repelled the attacking Xia soldiers three days ago and beheaded more than 2,000 people. ”

Zhao Xu hurriedly took it, opened it and looked at it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this was the first and only good news he had seen in so long!

Seeing General Xu's signature, Zhao Xu nodded secretly, there would be nothing wrong with this, and a relieved smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
