Hearing this, Zhao Ji said happily: "If we can let Xixia withdraw from the army, it will save us a lot of trouble, Aiqing said quickly, what plan do you have?"

"It's very simple, Your Majesty only needs to send an envoy to the northwest with an edict to scold the Western Xia people." Wu Zhi said lightly.

"Hehe" Zhu Mian sneered, "Master Wu, this is a state affair, how can I play with you?"

"Yes, Master Wu, if Your Majesty adopts your suggestion, it will be a national plan, and the Manchu Dynasty and the military will know about it, and it is better for you to be cautious when it comes to your official reputation and qualifications." Wang Hao looked at Wu Zhi and smiled subtly.

Only Zhao Ji looked at Wu Zhi's calm expression, and asked with some expectation: "What is written in the edict" He knew that Wu Zhi would never be untargeted, and he also knew that Wu Zhi often made people shine.

Wu Zhi said casually: "The edict is naturally to scold the Western Xia Emperor, the more ugly and fierce the better, and finally tell them that if they don't withdraw their troops, they will permanently close the battlefield on the Songxia border, and there is no room for negotiation." In this way, Western Xia will definitely retreat."

"That's it"

"Master Wu, do you think that scolding them and then closing the field will make the Xixia people succumb hehe, with all due respect, Lord Wu, you are too naïve and too high-quality" Zhu Mian sarcastically mocked Wu Zhi unceremoniously.

"Zhu Mian, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty is the true son of heaven, become a martial artist, and make great achievements, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, except for Taizu and Taizong, no one can stand out from the right, Your Majesty's name of benevolence and righteousness has long been intimidating all over the world, and Emperor Xixia'er dares to disobey Your Majesty."

As soon as Wu Zhi said this, Zhu Mian was speechless, and could only explain to Zhao Ji in a panic that he didn't mean that, and changed his words to say that His Majesty is the world, and Xixia Xiao'er will definitely be obedient and retreat.

Wu Zhi's tricks as a traitor will definitely be spit on if he deals with a decent minister, but for a traitor like Zhu Mian who relies on sycophancy to curry favor with the emperor, he will hit the nail on the head, and he can't refute it, refuting it is to despise the emperor, not only Zhu Mian didn't dare, but even Wang Huang on the side immediately changed his words.

"Lord Wu is right, as long as Your Majesty sends an edict to denounce the sins of the Western Xia children, they will definitely be intimidated by Your Majesty's majesty and obediently withdraw from the army."

Zhao Ji was a little fluttering, and his face was slightly hot, thinking about it, during his reign, he leveled Tibet, restored Hehuang, and destroyed the Southern Barbarians, expanding the land of the Great Song Dynasty to an unprecedented scale, which was the largest in the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji touched his face and said with a satisfied smile: "Since you all say so, then according to Wu Aiqing, I will issue an edict, if Xixia really retires, I will definitely reward Wu Aiqing"

After speaking, Zhao Ji ordered Li Yan to pass on the edict in a serious manner.

"Your Majesty"

Wu Zhi's face was calm, but he had mixed feelings in his heart, the scene just now was simply a living scene of the ancient traitor fainting the king and harming the country, the traitor was specially made some bad ideas to bring disaster to the country and the people, and then slapped the horse and flattered him only to please the emperor; As for the faint king, he listened to slander and rejoiced in his achievements, completely ignoring the comfort of the community and the suffering of the people

On the surface, Wu Zhi is also a typical traitor, the enemy country has heavy troops on the border, and he just wants the emperor to scold others with an edict, and then threaten others with a field, which is a good idea, if you don't do it, you will lose your country, and even have the danger of losing the country.

Compared with Wu Zhi, Zhu Mian and Wang Hao are not so treacherous, at least they objected to it before

However, in fact, although Wu Zhi is half a traitor, he will not bring disaster to the country and the people after all, so his idea is sure and well-founded.

According to the current national conditions of the Western Xia Kingdom.

In ancient times, the most well-informed people were always businessmen, Wu Zhi was the minister of the imperial court, and he held the largest chamber of commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, newspapers from all over the world, and countless secret agents sent by foreign countries, so now in this world, the most well-informed is he Wu Zhi.

Therefore, Wu Zhi is also well aware of the domestic situation in these countries around the Great Song Dynasty.

Western Xia, a party state that was officially established after Li Yuanhao became emperor decades ago, did not have many years after Li Yuanhao's death, and the state power began to be in the hands of the harem empress dowager. It is said that the country of Western Xia is also wonderful, the emperor has changed from generation to generation, and the political power has been controlled by the harem queen mother from generation to generation, and this generation of queen mothers is not a party member, but a Han person, or a Song person.

Wu Zhi, the Empress Dowager of the Western Xia Kingdom, surnamed Liang, commonly known as the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, was the niece of the previous Empress Dowager of Liang, and the Western Xia harem was basically monopolized by the Song people.

Emperor Xi of the Western Xia ascended the throne not long ago, which also means that the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was also in charge for a long time, and the Western Xia disturbed the Great Song Dynasty and stationed heavy troops on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, which was at this time.

Chinese people will have a natural affinity for the Chinese who are officials or in power in a foreign country, after all, they are all of the same origin. But in fact, this kind of Chinese who are in power in a foreign country is what we should be most wary of, because after these people become officials or take power in a foreign country, what they are most worried about is being suspected and shaking their status.

Therefore, in order to gain a firm foothold in a foreign country and show their loyalty, they will resolutely stand on the same front as the foreign people, and if there is a conflict between the foreign country and Huaxia, then they will also double or even treat the Huaxia side viciously.

To give an inappropriate example, in the later anti-Japanese period, sometimes worse than devils is this reason.

This is the current situation of the Western Xia Kingdom, the Emperor has just ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Xiao Liang has just taken power, the position is extremely unreliable, and many party nobles are eyeing each other, so the first thing that the Empress Dowager Xiao Liang thought of was to go against the Great Song Dynasty, one to divert the attention of her own forces, and the other to show her determination to share the honor and disgrace with the party and the Xiang clan.

But Wu Zhi knew that the Tangled Heavy Troops of Western Xia were just for show, and they would never dare to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, and they were even more afraid that the field would be closed.

did not dare to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, firstly, because the Western Xia Kingdom was much worse than before due to poor governance, and they could not afford it; Second, it is also because the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was in power at the beginning, and once the war started, any small defeat could shake their regime.

And the Western Xia was afraid of closing the Yongchang, and almost no one in the Great Song Dynasty could notice this at present, because more than ten years ago, the Song Xia fought countless battles, and the Rongchang was also closed countless times, and the Western Xia had never been afraid of this. That's why Zhu Mian felt ridiculous that Wu Zhi proposed to close the field as a threat.

And now it's different, as the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty is becoming more and more developed, the trade between the two countries in the Song and Xia is becoming more and more frequent, and the trade volume is also growing in large quantities, according to the data of the Chamber of Commerce, nearly half of the population in the Western Xia is now directly or indirectly dependent on the Song Xia trade to eat, if the field is closed, then the Western Xia will inevitably have civil strife.

Take the green salt abundant in Western Xia as an example, although there were many green salt deposits in Western Xia, the actual output was not large, only domestic, and the rest were scattered to exchange for the money of the Song people.

But now, due to the huge purchase of Song merchants, the green salt industry in the Western Xia has become a large pillar industry, hundreds of thousands of Xixia people engaged in the mining of green salt, if the only legal trade channel in the Song and Xia is closed, then the green salt piled up into the mountains in the Western Xia will not go out, these hundreds of thousands of people will be unemployed, unemployment will cause trouble, become a factor of social instability

Therefore, as long as the imperial court issued an edict threatening the Xixia to permanently close the field, then even if the women of the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Xixia emperor were greeted in the edict, the Xixia side had to obediently swallow their anger and retreat.

This is how trade sanctions between countries in later generations were played. Western Xia was a certain African country in later generations.

"Then the treasury has increased its revenue, how to spend it, you can help me think about it," Zhao Ji said again.

Wu Zhi is full of black lines, it seems that Zhao Ji is uncomfortable if he is undefeated

"Kenkejuba" Wu Sik blurted out and debuted.

"This is good" Wang Hao frowned with joy and immediately followed suit.

"Didn't Your Majesty always say that you want to build a huge stadium," Zhu Mian also agreed.

Recently, Zhao Ji is obsessed with fighting landlords and playing mahjong, and he doesn't pay much attention to "Huashi Gang" and "Gen Yue", and the volume of Huashi in recent months has been nearly doubled compared with before, which makes Wang Hao and Zhu Mian make a lot of less money, and they are preparing to instigate Qiaoli to set up a name again.

And this will Wu Zhi proposed to build a juju field, which is naturally in line with their wishes, to build a juju field, Wang Hao must be the person in charge, and Zhu Mian is in charge of the construction department, and the entire project will be completely in their hands. The stadium can't be built in a day or two, and there is a lot of oil and water in it, and the two of them can suck the treasury dry

"Yes, yes, I heard that the new football was first promoted by Wu Aiqing," Zhao Ji already loves to kick the juju, and he has also played with Wu Zhi a few times, "Didn't Aiqing say that you had ideas about the construction of the juju field before, then this time the Keju thorough map will be handed over to you Hanlin Painting Institute, don't let me down."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely design the most spectacular Keju field"

The corners of Wu Zhi's mouth rose, and he said in his heart, believe it or not, I will design a bird's nest for you

Although Wu Zhi didn't understand the architectural drawings at all, there were many people in the Hanlin Painting Academy who were proficient in this way, especially Zhang Zeduan, who was good at painting architecture

Hearing that Wu Zhi only got the errand of designing architectural drawings, Zhu Mian glanced at Wu Zhi proudly. And Wang Hao showed a strange smile to Wu Zhi, and there was appreciation, admiration, like, and curiosity in the smile

But his smile was more of a recognition, agreeing that Wu Zhi was really a kind of official with them, and even more shameless than them

Enough strength
