"Commandment."

Zhang's words were calm as usual.

However, many people in the hall looked confused, this is not Zhang Dan's character? How does it feel bland like water?

However, Wu Juhou retreated quietly and quietly wiped the cold sweat on his fat face.

Others don't know, but he knows very well.

The official family and Zhang Dian did not mean to be wanton at all, to put it bluntly, it was to pay equal attention to grace and power, knock on the restless forces of the government and the opposition, and ensure that during the period of the imperial expedition, the Bianjing City would be stable and peaceful, and there would be no chaos.

The number of people who tasted the taste gradually increased, so there was no one to talk to.

Seeing that they all agreed, Zhao Xu didn't say much, and waved his hand to drive the group out.

Sitting on the chair, Zhao Xu gently plucked the tea and said to himself: "Chen Pi, you say, what kind of emperor do they want?" ”

The government and the opposition are clamoring to establish a prince, but what kind of prince is what these ministers want?

Chen Pi dared to speak, bowed his head and breathed.

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea, and suddenly said, "However, it's time to make some preparations." Swing the Renming Palace. ”

Renmyeongjeon, the residence of the queen.

When Zhao Xu entered the Renming Palace, the Criminal Department and the Yushitai sent people to "banquet" the people on their list in a very gentle way, detained and detained them, and there was almost no violence in the east, which made the people in Kaifeng City uneasy and inexplicably relaxed, and there was not much trouble.

After another three days, Zhao Xu's edict was finally issued.

“…… Li Xia is not a minister, the way of heaven is not tolerated, thunder falls from the sky, and the people are hanged for crimes......"

This edict was lackluster, drafted by the Ministry of Rites, and left room for possible failure in the future.

But no matter what, Zhao Xu finally left Beijing under the escort of the army and headed for Qinfeng Road.

Kaifeng City.

Zhang Dan stood in the wind, watching the army of pennants waving.

Next to him stood Cai Bian, who was dusty, also looking at Zhao Xu's back.

Liang Tao suddenly said: "The official family wants to stop at Chenqiaoyi?" ”

Chen Qiaoyi has a special meaning to the Great Song Dynasty, but it can't be mentioned more, Liang Tao mentioned it at this time, and it has a special taste.

Zhang's eyebrows moved twice? Said: "Still people talk nonsense? ”

Liang Tao glanced at him? said: "The lower officer is worried about the army. ”

Cai Bian's face changed slightly, and then said, "Don't be cranky? Chu You is a person who is promoted by the official family. ”

Zhangdun is carrying it on his back? Quietly clenched, he is a civil official? Do not meddle in military affairs.

They are just a microcosm, and I don't know how many people in Kaifeng City are worried.

This is especially true in the palace.

But? None of this could stop Zhao Xu from driving the expedition in person.

On the way north? Zhao Xu sat in the carriage, listening to the neat footsteps outside, with a smile on his face all the time.

Sitting opposite him was Xiao Tiancheng, Xiao Tiancheng's face was tight? has been quietly observing Zhao Xu.

Already some distance away from Bianjing? This little emperor of the Song Kingdom did not act like an ignorant faint monarch who was eager for quick success and had a bursting temper, on the contrary, he was calm? Calm and always with an approachable smile.

"A hand?"

Suddenly? He saw the little emperor's lips move, but Xiao Tiancheng didn't hear what he said? After coming back to his senses a little, he said, "What? ”

Zhao Xu has already taken the chessboard? Said with a smile: "Long distance slowly? Playing a game of chess? To pass the time? ”

Xiao Tiancheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

Zhao Xu set up the chessboard with some excitement and said, "It's very boring for me to play chess with those people in the palace. By the way, do you know the Jurchen? ”

Xiao Tianwei hadn't fully woken up yet, and when he heard the word 'Jurchen', he suddenly calmed down, sat upright, and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty for advice." ”

Liao is now in flames everywhere, not only in the northwest, but also in the poor mountains in the back, there are also a group of fishermen rebelling, even if it is not a climate, but it has some scale, which has attracted the attention of Liao. But it's just 'attention', but the little emperor of Song Guo mentioned that Xiao Tiancheng was serious.

Zhao Xu took the black chess pieces and said with a smile: "I just heard that my Song Kingdom has nothing to do with them." ”

Song people are stirring up?

This was Xiao Tiancheng's first thought, and he immediately denied it, with a population of less than 100,000, it would not be able to become a climate.

But what does this little emperor mean by his words?

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Actually, between Song and Liao, there is no grudge that cannot be resolved, what do you think, if I spend money to buy the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, what do you think?" ”

"Is Your Majesty joking with the foreign ministers?" Xiao Tiancheng squeezed the hand of the chess piece and panicked, and then said.

How important the location of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is, needless to say, it is impossible to buy it with any amount of money.

Zhao Xu laughed, waited for Xiao Tiancheng to fall, and said: "My Great Song Dynasty and Liao are allies, so we should move around more." I thought, how about the mutual market between the two countries? ”

Xiao Tiancheng's expression did not move, and he secretly said in his heart: The little emperor is trying to please me Da Liao? Or do you just want to appease for a while and concentrate on dealing with Li Xia?

Xiao Tiancheng was uncertain in his heart, pinched the chess pieces, and said, "Mutual market? What does Your Majesty mean?"

Zhao Xu's attention seemed to be on the chessboard, and he said casually: "Iron, weapons, salt, tea, anything, communicate with each other......

Xiao Tiancheng's brows furrowed, what the little emperor of the Song Kingdom said was all 'dangerous'!

In the case of hostility between the two countries, this is undoubtedly a capital enemy!

Xiao Tiancheng fell and said indifferently: "What does Your Majesty want?" ”

Zhao Xu looked at the very empty chessboard with only four chess pieces, and said, "Anything, I don't ask for your country." By the way, we can also re-sign the covenant and establish an offensive and defensive alliance, for example, if someone attacks Liao, my Great Song Dynasty regards it as an attack on the Great Song Dynasty, and we should immediately send troops to fight together, and vice versa. ”

Xiao Tiancheng suddenly felt that he had guessed Zhao Xu's intentions, took the chess pieces and prepared to surround Zhao Xu's black chess, and said, "Your Majesty, my Da Liao will not attack Li Xia with you." ”

Zhao Xu's eyes moved slightly, what Xiao Tiancheng meant by this, is it certain that the Liao State is unable to intervene in the battle of Song Xia?

Zhao Xu rescued his chess pieces, and continued to say to himself: "Sending troops is naturally to negotiate with allies, and you can't pretend to destroy ......"

Xiao Tiancheng's Chinese is excellent, and he sneered in his heart when he heard it, and said: "My Da Liao has no intention of destroying the Song Dynasty. ”’

Zhao Xu nodded with a look of understanding, and said: "In short, I hope that we can rebuild the old friendship with the Liao State, communicate with each other, form a country of common interests, help each other, and deal with ......the enemy together."

Xiao Tiancheng thought he understood Zhao Xu's intentions, smiled slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, what sincerity can you have to let the foreign minister convey to Your Majesty?" ”

Zhao Xu snapped and said, "How about the armor of 100,000 soldiers?" ”

Xiao Tiancheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Is Your Majesty's words true?" ”

The Liao State is located in the barren northeast, and now it is in full need of food, grass and armor.

100,000 soldiers, that's not a small number, even if he knew that there was a problem here, Xiao Tiancheng still followed the words.

Zhao Xu stared at the chessboard and said, "Ten thousand pairs in advance, a little sincerity, if the covenant is reached, within a month, it will be delivered!" ”

Xiao Tiancheng stared at Zhao Xu, thinking all kinds of things in his heart.
