Chapter 69: Preset foreshadowing
After sending away Gao Ruone and Wang Wen, Zhao Xin rubbed his hands and became excited. In this life, he didn't want to be entangled with the Xixia people for most of his life, spending his time and energy in the mountains and rivers of Yinchuan.
His goals and ambitions should be bigger than that.
For example......
Restore the secluded land of Yanyan, step on the Que of Helan, and complete the final unification of the country!
This is also the final fantasy of the Zhao family.
Since Zhao Kuangyin, he has been unswervingly ambitious!
Unfortunately, the defeat of the Sorghum River lost the ambition of the Zhao and Song dynasties.
Since then, the Zhao officials have suffered from Liaophobia, and the alliance of Liaoyuan is the best interpretation of Liaophobia - the ministers want to fight again, but Your Majesty will surrender first!
Kou Zhun's hard work, after all, can only be exchanged for a big brother from Liaoren.
And for this big brother, the Great Song Dynasty has to give the Liao lord 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk cloth every year.
That's it, it was Kou Zhun who threatened Cao Utilization: If you make more than one million, you will take your head, so that Cao Xuan will not dare to retreat too much in front of the Liao people.
Since the emperor above is a soft-footed crab, how can he blame the military ministers and civil officials below for not being able to safeguard the interests of the country and resolutely resist foreign insults?
To be reasonable, the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty have done a good enough.
Since the founding of the country, the Great Song Dynasty has won more than 70% of all the wars in which it has participated.
If this is e-sports, Da Song will be enough to win the MVP with this result alone.
It's just that the soldiers are bearing, and they will be in a nest.
The people above are soft bones, and no matter how well the people below fight, they are useless after all.
In the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the main force of the Liao State went deep alone, and the grain and grass supply line fell into the vast sea of the Great Song Dynasty army and people.
If the True Sect at that time was not so timid and afraid, he dared to be resolute.
The Liao army that invaded the south was afraid that only three out of ten could go back.
Maybe the emperor and the queen mother will have to be captured and raised as a mascot in Bianjing, and as for the land of Youyan, it will definitely be recovered!
Zhao Xin, who has lived for a lifetime, is deeply touched by this.
Because he has already proved with facts, as long as the ruler has a stiff backbone, a straighter waist, and a little bolder.
What Western Xia Liao people, all of them are paper tigers.
Therefore, in his previous life, the king of Western Xia could only be a mascot in Bianjing City, and the descendants of Yuan Hao even performed sumo wrestling in the hook column.
Therefore, in his previous life, the Great Song Border Army on the Song-Liao border also dared to resolutely counterattack when the Liao cavalry went south to fight the grass valley.
Why?
Because the ministers of civil and military affairs all know that the official family is hard-boned and not afraid of things.
Therefore, they dared to resolutely resist foreign aggression, dared to strike hard at Western Xia, and resolutely implemented the strategic deployment of Zhongshu, without worrying that if they won the battle in the front, they would be sold by the official family in the back.
So, in Zhao Xin's previous life, at the peak moment, the Great Song Dynasty punched the Western Xia and kicked the Liao, and gradually regained the momentum of the Han and Tang Dynasties, so that even the Japanese knew about it, and sent Tang envoys to Bianjing to pay tribute and learn from the Chinese Son of Heaven.
Thinking about these things, Zhao Xin gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already time to hold the lamp.
And in front of his couch, there was one more person.
Empress Cao.
"Why is the mother here?" Zhao Xin immediately showed an innocent smile, got up, opened his hands, and was about to jump into the queen's arms, just like the chicks of a cuckoo bird opened its mouth to ask its adoptive mother for food.
Queen Cao immediately stretched out her hand, hugged Zhao Xin, hugged him to her knees, sat down, kissed Zhao Xin's pink cheek, and said: "Niangniang misses Erlang a little, it just so happens that the chickens raised by Niangniang last year laid eggs, so I boiled a few to bring Erlang to try......"
A palace man sent a wooden box to Zhao Xin, and when he pushed the box open, he revealed the steaming eggs wrapped in silk cloth inside.
When Zhao Xin saw it, he immediately laughed: "Niangniang is deeply gracious, Erlang really doesn't know how to repay ......"
"You kid ......" Queen Cao immediately smiled, caressed the top of the little prince's head lovingly, and then peeled the eggs for Zhao Xin with her own hands, and then fed Zhao Xin little by little.
And Zhao Xin behaved very well-behaved, talking and laughing with the queen from time to time.
It's just that soon, Zhao Xin also found out that this queen seems to be preoccupied.
So, after eating an egg, Zhao Xin asked, "Why is Niangniang so worried?" ”
"Can you tell Jiro about it?"
Empress Cao shook her head and said, "Erlang is still young, so don't worry about the affairs of adults......"
When Zhao Xin heard it, he immediately understood.
It must be that Zhang Cairen, who did something to make this queen uncomfortable.
Thinking of that Zhang Cairen, Zhao Xin remembered the appearance and look of the latter when he came to this Spring Fang that day, so he secretly shook his head in his heart.
"Spoiled woman......" he sighed, "sooner or later there will be a price!" ”
In his previous life, this Zhang Cairen died early.
If she lives to the age when Empress Cao becomes the queen mother...... I'm afraid that I will soon know what it means to call heaven and earth not to be spiritual.
And in this life, she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, and even Zhao Xin dares to play prestige in front of her.
It can only be said that this is looking for death.
Zhao Xin can't help her now.
But what about the future?
Why didn't this woman leave a way out for her and her relatives' future?
This made Zhao Xin really puzzled, for things that could not be understood and explained, Zhao Xin had never been afraid to speculate with the greatest malice.
So, he had a thought in his heart: "She'll do it to me!" ”
And in this imperial city, anything can happen.
Not to mention, Queen Guo, who has been deposed, died at the hands of the people sent by Zhao Zhen to protect and comfort her.
And some time ago, Zhang Cairen and Zhao Yunrang's wife were very close, which made Zhao Xin's doubts and fears magnified.
So, Zhao Xin stubbornly suppressed his desire to go out of Chunfang to have a look, and curled up in the protective circle built by Liu Yongnian and Gan Zhaoji.
Just in case, there are three special procedures for his diet, and three groups of people take turns to taste it just by tasting it to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Even so, Zhao Xin still felt that it was not enough insurance.
Because, the hidden danger has always been.
Only a thousand days to be a thief, where is the reason for a thousand days to prevent thieves?
Therefore, Zhao Xin has been looking for an opportunity, and the last time he deliberately instigated Lin Yu, it was the signal he sent.
The purpose is very simple, that is, to tell the ministers of the government and the opposition: there are internal ghosts!
So, he buried the foreshadowing, laying the foundation for the future to wipe out all the unsafe hidden dangers around him.
Now, the arrival of Queen Cao has given Zhao Xin another chance.
Just thinking a little in his heart, Zhao Xin deliberately said loudly: "Don't worry, Niangniang, with Erlang here, I will not let Niangniang be wronged!" ”
Queen Cao listened, and finally it was difficult to maintain her image, and she cried with a wow.
And this is exactly what Zhao Xin wants.
