Zhao Hao entered the 'confidential room', took a look, and saw Zhao Xu sitting in the middle, and quickly stepped forward, perhaps because he was not in good health, and he almost fell head-on with a shake of his crutches.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu paused before stepping forward, supported him, and said with concern: "Uncle Huang, your illness is not well yet, there is nothing important, why rush over?" Come on, move a stool for Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang, slow down. ”

Zhao Hao was a little out of breath, raised his pale face, and said, "Your Majesty." The minister's illness must have delayed the major affairs of the official family, and the minister was uneasy, and always wanted to ask the official family for his guilt, so he came immediately if he could leave......

Zhao Xu helped him, sat down on the stool, stood in front of him, looked at Zhao Hao's weak improvement, and said with emotion: "Uncle Huang is his own family in the end, and he can think about me." Unlike those high-ranking officials and dignitaries outside, who keep shouting about loyalty to the monarch and the country, but they stumble on me one by one, and they are happy if I fall a dog and eat......"

Zhao Hao listened, wanted to stand up, and was pressed back by Zhao Xu with one hand, so he had to laugh and say: "The official family, the courtiers are still considerate of the official family, Zhang Xianggong, Cai Xianggong and others have the ability to see for all to see, the government and the opposition look at each other, and they will definitely be able to solve problems for the official family......"

Zhao Xu took a few steps back, sat down on his chair, nodded, looked at Zhao Hao, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang said the same, but there are still too few people who can use it." The 'Dengzhou Ayun case' has been making trouble from the beginning of my father's accession to the throne to the present, and it is endless, which really makes me angry. I thought that this Dali Temple must be put in the hands of my own family, firstly, to rest assured, and secondly, to curb the party strife. After thinking about it, I thought of Uncle Huang, and Uncle Huang really did not disappoint me, and he was considerate of me......"

Zhao Hao's pale face suddenly looked panicked, stood up tremblingly, and said urgently: "The minister doesn't dare." Ministers are inactive and unworthy of great responsibilities......"

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Uncle Huang should not be humble, sit down, Chen Pi, and show Uncle Huang tea." ”

The corners of Zhao Hao's mouth moved, and he stopped talking, and slowly sat back.

When Chen Pi brought the tea, he hurriedly put down his crutches and said with both hands: "Xie Daguan." ”

Chen Pi was stunned, and he called him a big official in the palace, and this Yan King was the first.

He bowed slightly and quietly retreated.

Zhao Xu looked at it, squinted his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, Dali Temple is very important to me. The new yamen of Dali Temple is still under construction, the emperor's health is better, and I will go for a walk on my behalf in a few days, and when the emperor's uncle is well, I will issue an edict, which will be presided over by the emperor's uncle, and the 'Dengzhou Ayun case' will be retried and the case will be completely closed. By the way, Uncle Huang, do you think Sima Guang and others should be held accountable for overturning the case set by their father? ”

Zhao Hao held the teacup, it seemed that Zhao Xu said too much, he couldn't digest it for a while, his expression was entangled, he hesitated for a while, he looked at Zhao Xu, opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, you and I are my own family, there is nothing that cannot be said." ”

Zhao Hao had a relieved expression on his face and said, "The official family, that incident was actually the main thing done by the queen mother. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, there was a sudden silence in this room, and even the next door was quiet.

Chen Pi's expression was a little strange, Zhao Hao's words didn't seem to be a problem, but there was something wrong.

Zhao Xu's hand that was about to drink tea paused, and then continued to drink tea slowly.

Zhao Hao looked at the two houses in front of him and behind him, and said in a low voice: "Official, I suggest that this case is still closed, let the Ayun family withdraw the case, give some money, and send it away." ”

Zhao Xu put down the teacup, looked at Zhao Hao quietly, smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle Huang, these things are all decided by Sima Guang and others without authorization, and they have nothing to do with grandmother. ”

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "What the official said is true." ”

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Hao with a struggling look, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, just do it, if there is me." ”

Zhao Hao's expression changed, and he suddenly said: "Official, I still have to ask the queen mother for this matter." My illness, the queen mother is very worried, sleepless day and night, if I take the sick out of the palace, her old man is afraid that it will be difficult to feel at ease. ”

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, looked at this Zhao Hao deeply, put down the teacup, and did not speak.

Chen Pi heard it clearly and stood bent.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao stood up with a panicked face and said, "Minister, let's go back and ask the queen mother." ”

Zhao Xu didn't stop him, watched him come out of the secret room, and said with a strange face: "Chen Pi, have you noticed it, there seems to be something wrong with my imperial uncle's words?" ”

Chen Pi also felt the same way, thought about it, and said, "Maybe, I don't want to go to Dali Temple." ”

Zhao Xu pondered, glanced at the room on the left, and said, "Have you remembered?" ”

A scribe hurriedly took an official book and said, "Official, remember it." ”

Zhao Xu took it and flipped through it, saw that it was almost the same, and then handed it over and said: "This is the first lesson in the analysis room, analyze the conversation between me and Uncle Huang, and analyze the content hidden in Uncle Huang's words. ”

"Yes." The scribe responded, took the official book, and quickly turned to the analysis room.

Zhao Xu sat on the chair, looked outside, thinking about Zhao Hao's words just now, the corners of his mouth suddenly smiled, and he took another sip of tea before returning to the Vertical Arch Hall and continuing to deal with political affairs.

Zhao Hao returned to Cining Hall and saw Meng Meiren coming out of it.

Zhao Hao's eyes flashed slightly, and he saluted tremblingly: "I've seen Niangniang." ”

When Meng Meiren saw Zhao Hao, she also bowed and saluted, "I've seen Uncle Huang." ”

Zhao Hao's eyes flashed, he didn't say much, and walked inside quickly.

Meng Meiren did not stop, and after nodding, he returned to Renming Palace.

As soon as Meng Meiren sat down, a palace maid came in with a plate and said softly: "Niangniang, it's time to arrange tonight's bedtime." ”

For the attendants in the harem, Zhao Xu has always been very casual, and almost never took the initiative to recruit anyone unless he was particularly needed.

Meng Meiren looked at the names on the plate, pursed her lips, and said, "Liu Meiren." ”

The palace maid looked at Meng Meiren and said softly: "Niangniang, the official family only recruits two or three waiters in ten years, Niangniang, you ......"

Her words speak for themselves. Zhao Xu has no heirs yet, the women in the harem, the mother is more expensive than the son, and the heir is very important!

Meng Meiren didn't move, and said, "Go ahead." ”

The palace maid didn't say anything more, and turned around and went out with a plate.

At this time, Gyeongju was full of pre-war tension.

Zhang Qi takes the Huanqing Road to pass through the strategy, governs the five roads in the north, leads the road strategy, the general manager, the festival envoy and so on. The Privy Council redeployed the various official positions of the five roads, and almost all the people of the 'old party' were replaced.

Sun Lu succeeded Wang Anli as the head of Hedong Road, and Wang Anli was Wang Anshi's right brother. Wang Wenyu served as the Xihe Road Guide.

Zhe Keshi, Yao Xiong, Zhong Fu, Chong Pu, Seed Master Dao, Seed Master Zhong are all in the hall.

In the hall, a group of people are making plans, and Zhang Ji is arranging all roads and dispatching troops.

Almost all the people in the hall were excited and excited about longing for a battle, and they were almost ready to fight.

Wang Anli, who was temporarily staying on Huanqing Road, saw that he was uneasy and said, "The reason why the Xia people suddenly gathered so many troops is because of the internal instability of our dynasty. We should now put ourselves on the defensive, wait for Kaifeng to stabilize, and then we can plot the Northern Expedition......"

This sentence, the big bad atmosphere.

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at him, this was the first time that anyone opposed the Northern Expedition.

Wang Anli's official position is not high, but he has a special identity - Wang Anshi's younger brother.

Wang Anshi is the spiritual leader of the Fa-changing faction, and he is naturally 'courteous and compatible' to Wang Anli.

The eyes of a group of people slowly turned to Zhang Kai, who held the holy decree and the gold medal, commanded the five roads in the north, and had the right to cut first and then play, only he could suppress Wang Anli.

Zhang Qi's hair was white, he lowered his head and looked at the map, he didn't raise his head, and his tone was as decisive as a railway: "Because of this, I can't be cowardly, this battle must be won, and it is a big victory!" Wang Jingluo, at this time, we should unite as one, and we should not shake the hearts of the army with nonsense! ”

Wang Anli's expression moved, glanced at everyone's unkind eyes, sighed in his heart, raised his hand and said, "Yes." ”

Zhang Qi looked at the map and said, "The Xia people have divided into five roads, and we also need to focus on ......."

The crowd listened, with solemn expressions, and listened attentively to the order.

Wang Anli looked at it, and his heart became even heavier.

The current situation is very similar to the four years of Yuanfeng. At that time, the Xia people were also the emperor and queen fighting for power, and there was constant infighting. The imperial court thought it was a good opportunity to launch an army of 600,000 and attack Xia on five routes, and in the end, it was a big rout!

Now, the situation has turned, the emperors and queens of the Great Song Dynasty are fighting endlessly, internal strife has broken out one after another, and the Xia people have come with a large army.

Not only did they not defend on their side, but they actually had to take the initiative to attack!

If the Xia people were so easy to fight, how could the five-way army fail during the Yuanfeng period?

No one paid attention to what Wang Anli thought, almost all the commanders of the five-way border army wanted to fight, and no one wanted to continue the 'old party' when they reprimanded for peace, and they held on to it.

The five roads in the north have gathered more than 200,000 troops, and the banners are displayed, and the morale is like a rainbow!

At this time, the Western Xia army was not far from the border.

……

At this moment, Kaifeng City, with the continuous preparation of the five roads in the north, the atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger, but the voice of war or peace is still endless, from time to time someone writes a book, analyzes the pros and cons, and asks the court to stop the war and negotiate peace with the Western Xia.

The household department, the Privy Council, the military department, the government hall, the green tile room, and the confidential room are getting busier and busier, and they have no time to pay attention to the noisy voices of the government and the opposition.

In the vertical arch hall, there is more and more news about the five roads in the north.

Xixia clearly wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Song Dynasty and take advantage of it!

Zhao Xu's workload increased rapidly faster than before, and it didn't end until late at night.

With a lamp in the vertical arch hall, Zhao Xu buried his head in examining and reviewing the notebook.

Chen Pi quietly walked over and said in a low voice: "Official, Liu Meiren is here." ”

Zhao Xu was fascinated by it, and said casually: "Hmm." ”

Chen Pi quietly retreated, and not long after, a young woman dressed in a light shirt and thin silk walked in lightly with a bowl in her hand.

Zhao Xu heard the voice and looked up.

I saw that Liu Meiren's skin was like clotted fat, her appearance was as beautiful as a flower, her freshly bathed face was tender with a hint of redness, her mouth was pursed, and her melon seed face was smiling, soft and glamorous.
