Chapter 471

After Su Dongpo stood up, he impassionedly expressed his contempt and denunciation for the kind of chickens and dogs and thieves in Western Xia, and at the same time believed that the Great Song Dynasty was a great country, and over the years, it had been good enough for Western Xia.

But instead of appreciating it, the other party has been repeatedly attacking the border town of the Great Song Dynasty, and for such a person who hates dogs, he should clean them up and let them know that the pot is made of steel.

Su Dongpo's talent is not boasted, and his eloquence is definitely not covered, otherwise, with a few people in the Shu Party, how could it be difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat in the face of dozens of old party figures?

Therefore, Su Dongpo's impassioned words made Zhao Xu fascinated, and the state of mind like stopping water couldn't help but fluctuate, since the defeat in the battle of Yongle City during the reign of Emperor Shenzong.

The Great Song Dynasty has always taken a defensive position against the Western Xia, and there is no intention of enterprising, but the Western Xia is attacking every year, and the seasons come to conquer, disturbing the Great Song Dynasty's border fortress.

However, since the old party came to power, it has held high the banner of peace, not war, strictly forbidden provocations in roadside towns, and even punished several officials who were unauthorized to start border conflicts and disputes.

For the Western Xia and Northern Liao, they retreated step by step, and kept saying that the Great Song Dynasty wanted to use gentleness and benevolence to influence each other, so that the other party could feel the benevolence and righteousness of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally moved to cry bitterly and repented, and finally held the hand of friendship stretched out by the Great Song Dynasty, and sang together that the world is so big, just a family......

But now, or today, I don't know which tendon of these guys has been pumped, the style of painting is too harmonious, whether it is a minister or a general, they all have a unified voice, thinking that they must severely punish those damned Western Xia barbarians, let them know that the left hand of the Great Song Dynasty is holding the Four Books and Five Classics, but the right hand of the Great Song is holding a sharp sword of the king.

After Su Dongpo finished speaking, in addition to the clan officials and some neutral officials who continued to appear next to speak cautiously, the military generals, as well as many old party members and backbones, all stood up and shouted to let Xixia Xiaoxiao see the benefits of the Song Dynasty's armor.

Be sure to wave Da Song's powerful and powerful fist and hit it until the damn Xixia cries and shouts for Da Song's father.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was also confused, what the hell is this special situation? In the past, jumping up and shouting for war, not peace, was the right of the generals, or the right of his own enthusiastic young man. When is it the turn of these civil servants who will be crooked every time there is a war, and they want to convince people with virtue, they jump up and down.

It's too unscientific, and the young son of heaven Zhao Xu also noticed that something was wrong. But wasn't that what he had longed to see countless times in the past?

#####

After Gao Taotao announced his retirement from the court, the ministers who shouted loudly that they wanted war and not peace finally slowly withdrew from the main hall, while Gao Taotao sat behind the bamboo curtain with a tired face, his expression was still full of puzzlement and doubt.

And Zhao Xu should have been able to leave straight away as usual, but when he saw that the imperial grandmother had not moved behind the curtain for a long time, he couldn't help but get up and walk over. "Imperial grandmother, the dynasty has dispersed, why don't you send your grandson back?"

Gao Taotao, who was in a trance, finally came back to his senses, lifted the bamboo curtain and walked out. Looking at this face similar to Emperor Shenzong Xiao, he couldn't help but show a rare look of love. "It's okay, the mourning family has a lot of words in my heart today and wants to have a good chat with the official family, let's go together......"

Walking slowly on the way to the Spring and Autumn Palace, Gao Tao subconsciously glanced at Zhao Xu beside him, but noticed that the young Tianzi, who had always liked to fight and kill, or whenever he encountered a side provocation, he would either look extremely angry, or he would try his best to ask for troops, and his expression now seemed to be a little too calm.

Gao Tao, who was puzzled in his heart, couldn't help but ask curiously. "Official, in your opinion, what do you think of the performance of the ministers in the court today?"

Zhao Xu smiled a little impressively. "Grandson can't say it, I just feel that things seem a little strange, the important thing is that in my court of the Great Song Dynasty, these ministers who have always been intrigued, when did they become so concerted......

"It seems that the official family has really grown up now, even if he is already thinking about things in his heart, but he doesn't show anything on the surface, okay......" Gao Tao heard this, and couldn't help but bow his head approvingly.

And Zhao Xu also had something to ask Gao Taotao. "Imperial grandmother, since the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that this time the Western Xia offended my Great Song Dynasty, they should teach the other party a lesson, but the Imperial Grandmother, you did not give a clear answer, do you think that my Great Song Dynasty is really not comparable to the Western Xia?"

"Don't underestimate Na Xixia, otherwise, be careful like the first emperor. Now the Great Song Dynasty can no longer bear the defeat of Yongle City. After a long sigh, Gao Tao looked at the young and energetic grandson beside him.

I can't help but recall that back then, after Emperor Shenzong heard about the defeat of Yongle City, he cried bitterly and was sick in bed, which can almost be said to be sluggish, but after more than two years of hard work, he died in the prime of life.

If it was in the past, Zhao Xu would definitely be unhappy to refute immediately, but now, after listening to Wang Yang's reasonable analysis, Zhao Xu, who had thoroughly believed Wang Yang's words, nodded lightly.

"My grandson knows that although my Great Song Dynasty is powerful, because of the vast territory, I can only take a defensive position everywhere, and the national strength of Western Xia is not enough for my Great Song Dynasty, but I can gather my strength to form a cone......"

“…… You, the official, these are all you come up with? Gao Taotao looked at the grandson in front of him, who had indeed changed a little unexpectedly compared to the past, and asked in surprise.

"Most of these were analyzed by Wang Wushan to his grandson before, and his grandson felt that what he said seemed to be quite reasonable, I don't know ...... imperial grandmother."

Gao Tao took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. "Official, let's start from the beginning, let the mourning family also listen well, what did Wang Wushan tell you."

Zhao Xu simply described the content of the exchange between him and Wang Yang after receiving the news of the Western Xia invasion and told Na Gao that he knew about it.

Gao Tao listened, and after a long time, he had to bow his head again and again. "This Wang Wushan is really a peerless national warrior......"

"I can't imagine that he is so young, not only talented, but also quite researched military strategy, the mourning family is really getting more and more curious, in the end, what else in this world he doesn't understand."

"Sun Er also thinks that everything in this world can really be difficult to defeat Wang Wushan, I'm afraid there are not many......" Zhao Xu couldn't help but say with emotion.

In the past, Zhao Xu admired Wang Yang, but now, Zhao Xu is almost a little superstitious about Wang Yang, and always feels that as long as this old driver goes out, there will definitely be no problem that cannot be solved.
