Chapter 959

"What are the officials going to do with Zhu Guangting?" Holding her granddaughter, raising her hand to tease her little hand, seeing that festive round face, the Empress Dowager Gao Tao felt extraordinarily happy, and the whole person seemed to be much younger.

"Sun Er hasn't thought it through yet, after all, this matter is really too embarrassing, the dignified envoy of the Great Song Dynasty actually did such a thing, if it is spread outside the court, I really don't know......" Zhao Xu's face was extremely ugly, only when his eyes fell on his wife Meng Shi, who was making small clothes for his children with stitches and threads, this was a little more gentle.

"Yes, the dignified envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was bought by the defeated country, and even did a lot of things that would damage the interests of my Great Song Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager looked at her grandson Zhao Xu in front of her, she knew very well that in fact, Zhu Guangting's approach, if it was placed in the past, was really nothing.

But the problem is the past, not the present, not to mention that now the Great Song Dynasty is the winner, and the Western Xia is the defeated general, if Zhu Guangting's methods are not exposed, it will be fine.

But it was exposed in broad daylight, so that the civil and military officers on the Shaanxi Road could find out the truth, so at this time, they could not turn a blind eye, but they had to show an attitude.

As for the small court discussion, the opinions of those important ministers and bigwigs in the court are demoted or degraded, but Zhao Xu feels that if he just disposes of it like this, it is too cheap, so now a stalemate has temporarily formed.

Gao Taotao, who can know the affairs of the world without leaving home, does not want the stalemate between the monarch and the minister to continue for this matter, so he came over today and took the opportunity to visit his great-grandson and great-granddaughter, and by the way, he asked Zhao Xu what he thought.

"Yes, the important ministers of the court, such a thing happened, it really made the mourning family sad, he Zhu Guangting is also a capable minister, he doesn't want to be stupid to such a point at such a time, but in such a situation, but only for his own selfishness, and put the interests of the country under it......"

"Imperial Grandmother, do you think it's better to deal with that Zhu Guangting like this?"

"Actually, it mainly depends on what the official thinks, after all, the important minister committed such a wrong thing, and he should have been dealt with heavily, but this matter is like a family ugly, and it is really difficult to ...... with outsiders."

The dignified Song Sanpin is indeed very embarrassed to do such a thing, and Zhao Xu himself feels very embarrassed, so he did not make it public in the court, but only discussed with the important ministers in the court, because if it is spread to the people, hehe, it will make people feel even more blushing.

"So, how to deal with it, it still depends on the thoughts of the official family, but my Great Song Dynasty has the ancestral system of not killing scholars, and although Zhu Guangting's actions are disgusting, it is not a serious crime such as rebellion and rebellion, so it ......"

Gao Tao's words were about to speak and stopped, Zhao Xu naturally understood what she meant, the Great Song Dynasty did not kill the scholars, this is the ancestral system, and this ancestral system has never been violated by any son of heaven.

And Zhao Xu also understood that although he was very angry with Zhu Guangting's actions, if he said that he wanted to slaughter this goods, Zhao Xu was unwilling.

Of course, it is not that he is reluctant, but Zhao Xu is not willing to bear the burden of violating the ancestral system and bearing notoriety.

After Zhao Xu sighed for a long time, his eyes rolled. "Imperial grandmother, if not, I will let him do it......"

"Zhishi? This is a good method, first, it not only gave the ministers of the court an explanation, but second, it also allowed Zhu Guangting to receive the punishment he deserved......" Gao Taotao couldn't help but bow his head slightly to show his approval.

"Then it's decided, I'll go to the draft in a moment." Zhao Xu slapped his thigh, young man, actionist, he said he was going to do it.

"Official, is it too urgent for you to do this, now that you have decided to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, then this holy decree cannot be made public, and you can't even let him do it at this time." Gao Tao reminded Zhao Xu helplessly.

Zhao Xu was a little embarrassed hehehe. "What the imperial grandmother said is that the grandson is too impatient."

"Young people, it's okay to be in a hurry, but on top of big things, you still need to be cautious and think twice." Gao Tao smiled and gently patted the back of his great-granddaughter in his arms, watching the little guy squint his eyes happily and fall into a deep sleep.

"It's so good, this little appearance is really festive, and you see, this girl looks like you."

"I heard that a daughter looks like her father, and that's a blessing." Zhao Xu also had a smug smile on his face, and carefully took his daughter from Gao Taotao's arms, and then muttered quietly.

The ancestors and grandchildren chatted quietly here, teasing the children, and the happy scene was really unbearable, and Xu Degong couldn't help but sigh a little when he stood not far away.

It seems that when the first emperor was alive, there was no such scene of peace and tranquility. Now, the reconciliation between the Son of Heaven and Niangniang has made Niangniang's later life a consolation and sustenance.

The negotiations went smoothly, and after a tacit understanding had been formed between the Western Xia and the Song state, the defenders and people of Shizhou were withdrawing in the direction of Xiazhou.

The sailors of the Great Song Dynasty were on the Wuding River, closely monitoring all this, and the Western Xia defenders of the pass on the outskirts of Shizhou had all been evacuated.

The Song army could be said to have occupied these dangerous places without much effort. However, they also had a tacit understanding to guard the stronghold and did not continue to move forward, so as to leave enough space for the Western Xia soldiers and civilians to evacuate.

Although in the end, the Great Song Dynasty no longer recovered the old coins given to the Western Xia in the past, the Western Xia still had to sacrifice thousands of good horses as compensation for the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty would send an envoy to Western Xia to receive the border people and captured soldiers who had been captured by the Great Song Dynasty in recent years.

Of course, the Great Song Dynasty will also return some of the prisoners of war, well, the main thing is that among the prisoners of war captured by the Great Song Dynasty, there are at least thousands of physically crippled ones, and such a Great Song Dynasty will keep it rather than wasting food, it is better to return it to Western Xia, and it can also have a good reputation.

In addition, every year in the future, the Western Xia will present 500 horses to the Great Song Dynasty, although it is not much, but it represents the tribute and obedience of the Western Xia to the ministers, which is very important.

Of course, Shizhou will become the land of the Shaanxi border road of the Great Song Dynasty, and the south bank of the Wuding River will completely become the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

But even if all the procedures were successfully finalized one by one, it still took half a month of hard work to get it all done.

When the two sides finally took out the final version of the credentials to sign, Zhu Guangting, who had recovered from his illness but had a withered face, signed his name on the peace treaty like a walking corpse and stamped the envoy's seal.

It was just a few simple actions, but it seemed to have exhausted Lord Zhu's lifelong strength, and Zhu Guangting, who had done all this, didn't even stay to participate in the follow-up celebrations, but returned directly to his residence and ordered his entourage to start packing his luggage.
