As soon as Zhao Bukang said this, the ministers in the palace instantly quieted down, some looked at the military squire standing straight in the hall, some looked at Yang Qiankun, and some people secretly looked at Emperor Hao who was sitting on the top.

The northern expedition to the grassland, this is a big deal. For the Warat tribe in the Northland grassland, there is no one in Haoguo who does not hate it, so when Zhao Bukang proposed the northern expedition, most of the ministers nodded one after another, especially the people from the military department. Similar to Yang Qiankun and Zhao Bukang, most of the officials in the Ministry of War are from the border, and those who were born in the army always have a blood in their hearts, so Zhao Bukang's words made them excited for a while, and they all wanted to go to the north.

Emperor Hao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers in the hall below, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, waved his hand to let Zhao Bukang retreat, and then yawned and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, do you all agree with Zhao Bukang?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has objections."

The people who spoke were from the household department, and as those in charge of Haoguo's money, grain, and grass, they didn't seem to agree with Zhao Bukang's proposal for a northern expedition. After all, the situation in the north is still unclear, and it remains to be seen whether Anamzar has anything to do with it. Even now, the tribes of the Northland have no intention of going south.

The most important thing is that the Northern Expedition is a waste of money and labor, Haoguo has not had a good year, natural disasters have occurred in various places, take Texas as an example, the flood disaster, the Four Princes Xianwang His Royal Highness personally went to govern, and now it can only be regarded as a little improved, not to mention other places. Besides, the grain, grass and silver used in the Northern Expedition were not all paid by their households. The treasury has just recovered from Emperor Hao's personal expedition ten years ago, and it is afraid that it will be inappropriate to come again at this time.

For the household department, just four words, no money, no food.

The household official took a step forward and arched his hand and said: "Now there are still natural disasters in several states, the treasury is not abundant, and the northern expedition requires a lot of silver and grain and grass, I am afraid that it will damage the foundation of the country." For the sake of the current unfashionable Northdiswalat, it is not worth it. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Another official stepped forward and said: "I thought so more than 20 years ago, but what was the result? ”

This official worshiped the vice-governor Yushi, whose father died in the Battle of Tumubao more than 20 years ago. He very much agrees with the Northern Expedition, he failed to avenge his father many years ago, and now that he is old, if he doesn't behead a few Warat barbarians, he is afraid that when the time comes, he will go down and face his dead father without shame.

"Deng Yushi, how can today's Warat be compared with the previous one more than 20 years ago." The household official frowned and said.

Emperor Hao looked at the two people arguing in the hall, smiled faintly, ignored it, but looked at the person standing in front of the official in the right hall and said, "Shi Song, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Hearing Emperor Hao's words, the two arguing stopped and looked at Shi Song one after another. The right phase is also out of the army, but it was a few years ago, and now the stone phase has been stable for so many years, I don't know what to say.

Shi Song smiled bitterly, took a step forward, arched his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition is feasible, but it is not necessary to do it. ”

"Oh?"

Shi Song continued: "Although Anamuzar unites most of the grassland, its power is not large, if we want, we can send iron horsemen to level the grassland at any time. But the climate in the north is cold, and if they hide in the mountains to the north like they did ten years ago, we will have no choice, and in this way, there will be no point in marching north. Therefore, the minister thinks that the matter of the Northern Expedition can be put aside first. ”

Indeed, the reason why the Varat tribe in the north has always been able to exist is that the mountain in the north, whether it was ten years ago, or more than twenty years ago, the iron cavalry of Haoguo could not step in, if the Warat people repeat their old tricks, then in their eyes, the northern expedition will inevitably fail, not to mention the loss of labor and money, morale will also be low, if Xiliang comes to attack, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.

What Shi Song said made sense, Emperor Hao looked at Shi Song in front of the hall and nodded slightly. Although this person's character is not good, he still has a very good opinion on the matter of fighting, and he also has his son Shi Shifan in the political arena to help, one article and one martial arts, which is still useful for father and son.

However, Emperor Hao did not have the concerns of the ministers, although the mountains in the north were obstacles, but in his eyes it was nothing, but now that he was old, there was not much blood left, and the imperial expedition belonged to history. The honor of stepping on the Northland grasslands is still left to the young people. Slowly, he seemed to think of someone, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Yu Kangzhi." Emperor Hao looked over, looked at the person standing in the left hall, and smiled.

"The minister is here." When Yu Kangzhi heard the emperor call his name, his body shook slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

Emperor Hao asked again, "What do you think of this matter?" ”

Yu Kangzhi glanced at Emperor Hao, then glanced at Shi Song, who was standing slightly bowed, and replied quietly: "The minister thinks that what Shi Xiang said is reasonable, and the matter of the Northern Expedition can indeed be put aside first." ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall was in an uproar. It is not because of what Yu Kangzhi said about letting go of the Northern Expedition, but because this is the first time that Yu Kangzhi, as the left minister, agrees with Shi Song's words.

Emperor Hao didn't speak, squinting at Yu Kangzhi for a long time, as if he wanted to see something. The needle-like gaze made the latter take a step back.

Yu Kangzhi's movements were in full view, Emperor Hao retracted his gaze, and said with a smile, "In that case, you Aiqing, do you have any other ideas?" ”

"The ministers seconded the ......" The left and right ministers said so, what opinions can they have, the ministers bowed down one after another, and their voices dragged on.

"Then let's leave this matter at that." Emperor Hao said, this matter can indeed be put aside, and after that, let that person do it. Coughing, he continued: "Don't worry about the Northern Expedition in advance, it's approaching the Queen Mother's birthday, and it's not suitable to use the sword." Ministry of Rites, how are the preparations for the birthday banquet? ”

When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard Emperor Hao's words, he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet began to prepare half a month ago, and now it is almost there, only the list of guests from other countries in Honglu Temple. ”

Emperor Hao nodded, and the Ministry of Rites did this kind of thing decently and quickly, waved his hand, and said again: "Honglu Temple, the list of guests from other countries is ready?" ”

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet, all countries come to court. Haoguo does not have a sea ban, and as early as more than ten years ago, it has also established good relations with overseas countries, so the work of birthday banquet guests is not simple.

Honglu Temple Qing is very old, he fell and injured a few days ago, and he couldn't go to court, and he was staying in the house to recuperate at the moment, so he stepped forward to speak Honglu Temple Shaoqing, Su Peiqiang.

Su Peiqiang walked out of the queue, took a step forward, held up his somewhat chubby belly and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, the guest list has been almost prepared, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Emperor Hao said casually.

"It's just that Xiliangna's list hasn't been brought yet, and the ministers can't start preparing it." Su Peiqiang's face was embarrassed, and then he said: "There is also the Heshuo Special Department in the north, and their people have not appeared. ”

Although the Heshuo Special Department belongs to the Northland, they are close to Haoguo, and when His Majesty the Emperor of Haoguo was captured in the Northland, it was thanks to the care of the Heshuo Special Ministry, so Haoguo and the Heshuo Special Department formed a friendship, and they will also send people to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. I didn't come now, it should be because of Anamzar's business. The ministers speculated.

What they didn't know was that the Heshute Department had now been attacked by Anamuzar. The distance between the two places is thousands of miles, and Rao is secret agent of the procuratorate has not yet sent the news, so it is normal not to know.

As for why the Western Liang Kingdom has not yet appeared, this is a problem.

It is not a matter of one or two days for Xiliang to covet Haoguo, although the two countries still have a treaty of peaceful coexistence and cessation of war, but they all know that if there is a war, who cares what treaty is not a treaty, it is just a piece of paper.

"The Heshuo Special Department can ignore it for now, maybe it's because of the changes in the Northland." Emperor Hao thought for a while, raised his hand, and then said: "As for Xiliang, give them a few more days, if they don't show up, they will be turned away." ”

Emperor Hao's tone was unceremoniously, the birthday of the Empress Dowager of Hao, could it be that he had to wait for the arrival of his Xiliang people to start? Jokes, if you don't come, you won't come, and it's not that without him, the Xiliang National Birthday Banquet can't be carried out. The country is not big, but the temper is not small.

Hearing Emperor Hao's words, Su Peiqiang breathed a sigh of relief, his boss was recuperating at home, he was very busy these days, but Xiliang Guo also gave him a problem, and he didn't come for a long time, which really kept him awake at night. Although the West Beam is small, it still has residual power.

Arching his hand, the young master of Honglu Temple said clearly: "Yes, Your Majesty." I couldn't help but scold the damn Xiliang in my heart, wouldn't it be good if An An was divided, why was it dragged, and what was the point. Fortunately, Emperor Hao is not a good stubble, and if Liang Guo does not come, then he will not come. They're also going to save some trouble.

"Stand down." Emperor Hao stood up, his soft yellow coat hanging casually, and turned to leave with his hands in his hands.

The ministers were busy kneeling down, their voices were long, and the mountains shouted long live.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, Emperor Hao walked slowly, followed not by Wangcai, but by Xu Sheng, who had gray hair. Stopping to look at the vast palace, he sighed faintly.

"Your Majesty, this is the provisional list of banquets submitted by the Ministry of Rites." A little eunuch ran behind him, holding a fold in both hands, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Emperor Hao.

Xu Sheng took the fold, glanced at the little eunuch, and motioned for the latter to step back. Then he held the fold and slowly opened it in front of Emperor Hao.

Emperor Hao glanced at the fold, and his brows furrowed: "Why is there no name for Li Xiao?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Sheng didn't react, and was stunned for a while before answering: "Your Majesty, Li Gongzi does not have an official title, and according to the etiquette system, he can't participate in the banquet." ”

Indeed, Emperor Hao smiled. In this way, he only asked Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to assist Li Xiao, and did not grant him an official position, and now Li Xiao is just a rich businessman. There is no chance, the latter just cured the princess's illness, and no matter how favoritism is, he can only let him go to the hospital.

Coughing lightly, he continued: "The Queen Mother's birthday is coming, so let's go out of the palace today and let Li Xiao stop what he is doing." ”

"Yes." Xu Sheng replied and prepared to leave.

Emperor Hao stopped Xu Sheng, pondered for a moment, and said, "By the way, go to the Ministry of Rites and ask them to add Li Xiao's name." ”

"This ......" Xu Sheng was puzzled, but the emperor said so, and he had no choice but to do so.

The emperor said to add, and then he added.

Xu Sheng smiled softly, turned around, and walked away quickly.
