Chapter 763

Zhao Xu carefully read the letter word by word, and was silent for a long time, his brows were deeply locked, and the Empress Dowager Gao Tao beside him did not urge him, but just asked Xu Degong to bring Zhao Xu a cup of dragon and phoenix group tea and put it in front of Zhao Xu's case.

The leisurely fragrance of tea finally woke Zhao Xu up from his contemplation, and Zhao Xu reluctantly smiled at the Empress Dowager, but that smile was too ugly.

"This news is so ...... I find it a little unbelievable, but I think the analysis makes perfect sense. ”

"Could it be that Liao Guo finally can't help it and wants to face my Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Xu's mood at the moment was really difficult to calm down.

Since Emperor Renzong, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State have entered a period of peace, since small-scale regional conflicts have occurred from time to time, but such conflicts can be easily resolved.

Moreover, there has never been another declaration of war between the two countries, and it has been decades since then. This is also why, after receiving the information transmitted by the Imperial City Division, the Privy Council took it to the court meeting for discussion, and in the end, the civil ministers and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty felt that the Great Song Dynasty did not need to worry too much.

Just let Han Zhongyan and Han Xianggong, who calmed Hedong Road, pay attention to strict vigilance, there was no more action, and Zhao Xu didn't think there would be any big problems, so the decision of the court was passed smoothly.

However, Zhao Xu himself never thought that he had promised Wang Yang, the old driver, that if there was any information from outside the Great Song Dynasty, the Imperial City Division would not only hand it over to the Privy Council, but also hand it over to the intelligence center set up by Wang Yang in Sanzhou.

As a result, Wang Dacaizi's brain hole is really extraordinary, through intelligence, combined with those spider silk and ant traces, he has constructed a life, or guessed a chilling possibility.

The mobilization of troops and horses of the Liao State this time is definitely unusual, and its motive is very likely to be aimed at such a magnificent Great Song Dynasty.

However, it was also considered that the court had already set the tone for dealing with the behavior of the Northern Liao's troops.

Although Wang Yang and others made their own guesses about the enemy's movements after checking the intelligence, they also knew very well that it was impossible for the court to change their concepts and ideas in the absence of empirical evidence.

In view of this, Wang Yang decided to prepare in advance, so Wang Yang decided to move the party people who were prone to cause hidden dangers in the defense of the Great Song Dynasty in the event of military conflicts in the future, and moved out of the city and moved to the land of Youzhou to disperse.

Second, he began to urge the states to process arrows and crossbows on a large scale, and to build spears, swords, and shields to enrich their armaments. And making paper armor is also a last resort.

"Why didn't Wang Wushan send me a letter, did he distrust me so much?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but pat his thigh, and said with some indignation.

"The official family doesn't have to be so annoyed, in fact, the mourning family can think of it, how could you not think of the official family?" Gao Tao smiled and raised his hand to gently caress Zhao Xu's increasingly thick and majestic shoulders and comforted him.

"I know that he must feel that he can't convince the Manchu civil and military without evidence, but I have always trusted him and trusted his judgment, he should at least tell me, otherwise, if something really happens in the land of Sanzhou, then I ......"

It was precisely because Wang Wushan knew that he would not be able to convince the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces just by guessing, and he also knew the trust of the official family in him. However, after all, he was only guessing, and before he had a 100% accurate answer, if he informed Your Majesty, if this was not the case, wouldn't he be suspected of bullying the king? ”

"......" Gao Tao's slow words made Zhao Xu speechless for a long time, yes, what if the Liao army did not come to find trouble in the land of Sanzhou as Wang Yang guessed?

If Wang Yang's speculation is leaked to the Son of Heaven, then it is inevitable that countless copies of the impeachment of Wang Yang for bullying the king, as well as various crimes such as lying about the military situation, will inevitably overwhelm Zhao Xu, and at that time, even if Zhao Xu wants to defend Wang Yang, he must make a fair attitude.

"The mourning family also heard that the ministers in the court and the central government are now like taking strong pills, and they are jumping up and down with excitement all day long, that is, they feel that they have seized the opportunity, and they are vigorously impeaching Wang Wushan without consulting the court, and they should be brought into the capital to ask for guilt......"

"Yes, there is such a thing, and now the desk of the grandson is almost filled with those impeachment memorials. It seems that Wang Wushan doesn't want to embarrass me. The intention is to take the greatest risk, for the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the land of Sanzhou, and is making the worst plans and the most adequate preparations. ”

At this time, the young son of heaven Zhao Xu finally understood Wang Yang's hard work, and his heart was really moved, but also a little regretful. "I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have exported all the captured armor to the borders of the road, and left more for Shaanxi Road, which also saved Wang Wushan from making such a big splash now."

"Presumably, what the important ministers in the court are thinking about now is not this, but thinking, such a good opportunity must not be let go, after all, Wang Wushan and Master Su have already offended them ruthlessly, and if they can bring down one, they will bring down one."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xu's tone became colder, compared to Wang Yang, for the safety of the military and civilians in Sanzhou, he ignored his career prospects, and only wanted to be prepared to deal with the most serious situation.

As for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, all they considered was how to take revenge back to relieve the hatred in their hearts. This kind of behavior is immediately discerning.

It also made Zhao Xu feel cold, and the focus of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs was more focused on striving for profit. Now, because of the Yanzhou smuggling businessman case, the vacant position, Zhao Xu has also returned some of the new party officials who were demoted from Beijing in the past to the court.

But the problem is that as soon as those people came back, they told Zhao Xu all day long about the harm of the old party, and they must expel all the old party from the court and let the new party once again preside over the government.

And Zhao Xu patiently asked these returning members of the New Party about the pros and cons of the first emperor when he changed the law. As a result, there are only good words, not bad ones, even those that disturb the people and harm the people, and in the end, even Wang Anshi himself feels that there are some problematic law change clauses.

In the mouths of these people, it becomes Shengdou, how can the small people understand the country's goodness to them, even if there are difficulties and harms? In short, all changes are good, and what remains unchanged is bad.

Such extreme words and deeds made Zhao Xu, who had already appeared to be mentally mature and had his own considerations in his heart, finally woke up.

I was not swayed by the opinions of these people, but decided to go step by step according to my own ideas. A bunch of troubles haven't been dealt with yet, and now, it's happened again.

However, this incident did not weaken Zhao Xu's trust in Wang Wushan a little, but he felt more and more that the Mr. Wushan he fully supported was indeed the real leader of the country.

"Imperial grandmother, what should my grandson do? How can we help Wang Wushan without arousing the strong opposition of the ministers. Zhao Xu took a deep breath and set his eyes on the Empress Dowager Gao Tao.

At this moment, he knew very well that only the imperial grandmother could help him with advice without any selfishness.
