Chapter 864

"Then the only way to wait for them to lose a game, and then we will wait for the Son of Heaven to discuss peace, now as today's son is more and more mature, and more and more assertive, we must not be too urgent, in that way, it is easy to cause the opposite effect, what do you think?"

"If it makes sense, then let's leave this matter aside for the time being and wait for the opportunity......"

"But isn't it good to just do nothing? At least we should be able to do something. After Zhu Guangting nodded, he still did not give up.

"What else can we do, can we still impeach him Wang Yang Wang Wushan, afraid of the enemy and cowardly, and dare not go out of the city?" Another old party official next to him couldn't help but say this thing, it's so annoying.

"Of course it's not this, Wang Wushan privately awarded the official title of a foreign race, this, the opportunity of the war, when the power can change, but there is such a sentence in the good news, I don't know if you have noticed, that is, 'After awarding the Yan clan, Xiao will take the surname Han to show that he is my courtier of the Song Kingdom.'" Don't forget that this is a right that only the Son of Heaven has to give a Han surname......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but light up their eyes! Oh, I didn't expect Zhu Guangting, you old boy, to have such a trick.

Liu Zhi's eyes also narrowed, and he said in a deep voice. "Since the Tang Dynasty, people of different races who have made great contributions to the dynasty have paid tribute to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven has given him a surname for his merits to show his honor, which has become a common practice since the Tang Dynasty."

"But I have never heard of someone other than the Son of Heaven giving a surname to a foreign race, and such an action is indeed debatable......"

"Why are the officials worried, my Great Song has won one after another, this is a great thing." The Empress Dowager Gao Tao looked at these good news, and she smiled rarely, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the appearance of Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, who was not frowning, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"The ministers of the court feel that the contrast in strength between our Great Song Dynasty and the Liaoxia coalition army is too great, although there were victories before, but most of them were small victories, and it was more because of the opportunity of Youzhou to attract the main force of Liaoxia to Youzhou in Youzhou......"

"Now, the Liaoxia coalition army is still storming Youzhou City, and it has been nearly a month now, although Wang Wushan has long been prepared for the invasion of Liaoxia and vigorously repaired the city defense of Youzhou, but after all, the troops are insufficient, and I am really a little worried about him......"

The Empress Dowager nodded in understanding. "Yes, until the beginning of the war, it has been nearly a month, and the city of Youzhou is not big, although the city defense has been repeatedly strengthened by his king Wushan, but in the face of such a large number of Liaoxia coalition troops, it really makes the mourning family feel a sense of fire......

"Then Grandmother Huang, do you also think that this is the right time for peace?" After listening to Gao Tao's analysis, Zhao Xu bowed slightly.

"Peace?" Gao Tao looked at Zhao Xu with a stunned face. "Do you want to shake hands with Liaoxia?"

"My grandson is a little worried, if there is a disaster in Youzhou, at that time, it will be the land of Sanzhou, and there will be no life. And I, Da Song, can hold the line of salt, flood, and silver, I still have to put a question mark. Zhao Xu nodded with some distress and explained his opinion.

"All of this was taken into account by you?" Gao Taotao's eyes narrowed, and his fingers tapped lightly on the desk, not knowing what he was pondering.

"Naturally, it was also proposed by the ministers at the time of today's court meeting." Zhao Xu sighed lightly.

"There is such a worry, it is indeed right, not to think about victory and defeat first, everything must be considered, you are now more and more like a wise king......

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be a little stunned, and said in his heart, what's the matter? I obviously didn't ask this question, why did the imperial grandmother praise herself when she didn't ask, hmm...... Could it be that after reaching a certain age, the imperial grandmother also has something to do?

As if seeing the confusion in Zhao Xu's eyes, Gao Tao shook his head with a smile. "Your Majesty, the mourning family and you, far away in Bianliang, Beijing, thousands of miles away from the battlefield, compared to it, presumably they should have more say in this matter, right? ……”

Gao Tao's finger pointed on the good news, which was meaningful. "As for the ministers of the DPRK and China, it is naturally good to have this concern, after all, they are also thinking about my Great Song Dynasty."

"It's just that military affairs are by no means child's play, we must not only listen to the views of these important ministers of the DPRK and China, but also ask the soldiers who are on the battlefield, otherwise. They are bleeding at the front, and we are rushing to make peace, is it too demoralizing to do so? ”

Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, suddenly realized, and quickly copied those good news again to carefully read them. Seeing the Son of Heaven Zhao Xu behaving like this, the Empress Dowager bowed her head slightly with satisfaction, and said softly.

"Although Master Su doesn't speak very well, he is a loyal and upright minister, so if he can't fight, he should have mentioned it in his letters or recitals......"

"As for Wang Wushan's kid, although this person has a strong temperament, he is not an unreasonable person, before, although he deduced that the Liao State would inevitably join forces with the Western Xia army to attack the Song Dynasty, but in order to relieve His Majesty's worries, he has been secretly preparing and hiding it......"

"Yes, when the city was besieged for half a month, Wang Wushan also specially sent someone to sneak out of Youzhou, and Master Tuosu brought me a handwritten letter, saying that he used his strength to provoke the relationship between the Liao State and the female direct Wanyan Department, and even included several generals of the Wanyan Department under his command."

"At that time, he also mentioned in his letter that Youzhou is impregnable, so I don't have to worry about the safety of Youzhou."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and smiled. "That's it, Master Su didn't say a word, and Wang Wushan is also full of confidence, since that's the case, why don't you give them some more time?"

"Thank you for the emperor's grandmother's explanation, and after a while, my grandson will send a letter to Mr. Su and Wang Wushan, ask about the situation again, and their respective judgments, and then make a conclusion." After Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, bowed to Gao, he made the most appropriate decision.

Seeing this scene, Gao Tao smiled and bowed his head slightly, and praised him again and again, in fact, the scheming Gao Taotao also understood.

I'm afraid that in the hearts of Liu Zhi and others, it is not only the safety of the soldiers and civilians on the border of Shaanxi Road...... It's just that since Your Majesty hasn't seen through these things, you don't need to say it yourself, and now in the court, it can be regarded as a harmony between the monarch and the minister, and there is no need for her old wife to block the Son of Heaven.

Everything will be said after the war is over, and at that time, there will be time. In today's war, stability is the top priority.

Zhao Xu glanced at the thoughtful imperial grandmother, in fact, after the imperial grandmother asked him for details and analyzed himself, Zhao Xu gradually came to his senses.

It is very likely that he was misled by Liu Zhi and others, and regardless of whether their misguided intentions were really for the military and civilians of Shaanxi Road or for other purposes, however, I will take notes on this account in my small notebook and slowly calculate it in the future.
