Above the court, the dispute has already begun.

The Zhengfang led by Cai Jing demanded that Liao resist Jin, "Liao is a country of brothers, and the foot of existence is the border defense; Gold is the country of tigers and wolves, and it cannot be handed over! ”

The opposition led by Tong Guan asked Lianjin to destroy Liao, recover the sixteen states of Youyun, strengthen Song Guowei, and occupy the danger of the Great Wall in the north, so that the enemy could be kept out of the country.

Zhao Hao finally had a general understanding of the teams of the two major factions in the court.

On Cai Jing's side, Bai Shizhong on the left, Gao Yu on the palace marshal, Yin Caimao on the Kaifeng Mansion, Li Bangyan on the right, Li Di on the Hubu Shangshu, Dazai Yu Shen, and Zheng Juzhong, the Privy Council...... They are all first- and second-class members, which shows the huge strength of them.

And Tong Guan's side is relatively weak, but the lineup is also very strong, Shaozai Wang Fu, Zhongshu Shilang Zhang Bangchang, Shaobao Cai You, Hubu Shilang, and a "hidden phase" Liang Shicheng, are all famous figures.

Zhao Hao watched coldly, and scolded in his heart.

Speaking of which, both factions are dog-eat-dog-haired, and the people on both sides are famous, but they are both famous traitors. The real purpose of the dispute between the two sides is not whether it is beneficial to the country, but their own interests.

Tong Guan's side, naturally wanted to take the opportunity to beat the water dogs, after all, Tong Guan controlled the military power, and now the Liao people are weak, and they can make contributions and defeat Cai Jing's faction.

And Cai Jing's faction didn't really think about Da Song, they just didn't want Tong Guan to take the opportunity to sit big.

In addition to the position of power, where are the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty who have a few real loyal ministers? True loyalists such as Li Gang, Zong Ze and others were all sent to the local government because they were too upright, and they couldn't see it.

Among the warriors, there are a few people who can protect their families and defend the country, such as the Seed Master Dao, the Seed Master, the Folded Kecun and others, but so what, there is no place for them in the court, and their fate is still in the hands of the scholars in the court.

The two sides quarreled with each other, argued endlessly, quarreled to the back, but barely rolled up their sleeves to fight, the whole vertical arch hall was in a mess, and the competition between the two sides had reached a fever pitch, out of control.

Zhao Ji saw that the scene was out of control, and frowned unconsciously.

From the perspective of geographical strategy, although the Song and Liao regarded each other as enemy countries, since the Tanyuan Alliance, the Liao State was after all a "country with the Song" that had lived peacefully with the Song for a hundred years, while the emerging Jurchen was more expansive, and the Liao State had actually become a barrier to defend the Song Realm.

It's a pity that Zhao Ji is good at balancing in the court, but he is not good at balancing between countries, he is obviously an artist, but he wants to be a saint through the ages, and his name will go down in history.

His own piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are good, during his reign there were two miracles of the Yellow River "River Qing", if he can recover the sixteen states of Youyun, his great achievements can be towards Taizu, for Zhao Ji, this is simply a fatal temptation, how can you let go?

After all, the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is something that the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty have been thinking about since Taizu, and now that it is at their fingertips, with Zhao Ji's character of great joy, how can they give up?

Zhao Ji looked at the ministers in the court who were arguing and almost wanted to meet each other, but he had no idea for a while, and he didn't know where to start, and began to look for a breakthrough point in the court. At this time, the two factions do not give in to each other, and only by finding a neutral faction to speak can it be effective.

His gaze first fell on a few neutral ministers, Jin Chongyue, Xu Churen, and Wu Min...... Zhao Ji is counting whose name it is.

Zhao Hao, who was in the queue, listened to everyone's arguments, and secretly calculated in his heart, whether it was cost-effective for Lianliao to resist Jin, or whether Lianjin was stimulated to destroy Liao.

From a strategic point of view, it is natural that Lianliao is the best choice to resist Jin, and with Liao as a barrier, joining forces to resist Jin can support at least more than 100 years.

It's just that more than 100 years later?

As a result of Lianliao's resistance to Jin, the Northern Song Dynasty court was able to continue, the policy of emphasizing literature and cheap military force was also continued, and the policy of sharing the world between officials and scholars was also continued. The sorrow of the cliff mountain is still unavoidable!

The most important thing is that if the Jin people don't go south, the north is not chaotic, and Bianliang is not chaotic, Zhao Hao's chances of getting into trouble will be extremely slim......

Zhao Hao had a thoughtful expression on his face, and finally showed a resolute look, and he came out of the crowd at the moment.

At that moment, Zhao Ji's eyes just looked towards the Sanpin master, and when he saw Zhao Hao coming out, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately signaled to Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng shouted: "Hundreds of officials are quiet, no noise!" ”

The two sides who were arguing had to be quiet, but they heard Liang Shicheng pointing ahead and saying, "Doctor Zhao, do you have a plan to play?" ”

Everyone looked stunned, turned their heads together, and their eyes were all focused on Zhao Hao in the lobby.

That seventeen-year-old boy, Yushu is in the wind, calm and relaxed, and he is very different among the hundred officials, and hundreds of people are watching!

Zhao Hao was unhurried, lucky, his voice remained loud and peaceful, full of energy: "Your Majesty, the minister has the power to play...... The minister thought that the current situation should be combined with Jin to destroy Liao, and the shame of the Song Dynasty for a hundred years should be snowed, and then the sixteen states of Youyun should be recovered, the Great Wall should be garrisoned, and the enemy should be outside the country! ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers were in an uproar.

Tong Guan's faction showed a look of approval, many people were convinced that this Zhao Gongzi was their friend, and even Liang Shicheng's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

And Cai Jing's faction exploded.

A young man who has not yet reached the weak crown has just come to the court, and he has not even learned the rules of the previous court, so he dares to point fingers, this is like a new civil servant in a certain unit, who is like the director of the bureau on the first day of work.

If it weren't for the identity of Zhao Hao's clan, someone would have jumped out and pointed at his nose and scolded.

Sure enough, a white-haired old minister, with a look of disdain in his eyes, asked contemptuously: "The prince has not reached the weak crown, and he has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and he is in the dynasty for the first time, can you know who the Jin Emperor and the Liao Emperor are?" ”

The person who asked the question was Wei Guogong Yu Shen, who was 71 years old and had visited the prime minister twice, belonged to Cai Jing's party, and was second only to Cai Jing in the DPRK.

This sentence is indeed extremely contemptuous of Zhao Hao, but it has his reason. Don't say that Zhao Hao, a clan like Zhao Hao, who has lived in Jiangnan for a long time and has just entered Beijing, even if the children of the clan who have lived in the capital for a long time know who the Liao and Jin emperors are, they will inevitably find one out of ten.

The children of the clan are not only respected, but also their identities are destined not to be involved in politics, so nine out of ten clans do not care about current affairs and politics. Those who are not motivated are cockfighting dogs, idle, mixed in the land of fireworks and wind and moon, and those who are a little more motivated are addicted to poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have a good name. Who is the emperor of the Liao and Jin people? Can an emperor of a different race give money to spend, can he give a beautiful woman to enjoy, and can he give an official title? Since you can't, I care about your three eyes?

Zhao Hao showed a bright smile like a spring flower on his face, looked at Yu Shen, and answered slowly, word by word.

"Emperor Jinren, Wanyan is a bone, his father is impeached in the bowl, and his mother is lazy."

"In October of the third year of Zhenghe, Aguta succeeded his brother Wu Yashu as the head of the alliance, and he was called Dubo Jilie."

In June of the fourth year of Zhenghe, Emperor Liao sent envoys to confer the title of envoy of Aguta Jiedu. In September of the tenth year of Zhenghe, Wanyan Aguda led his troops to attack Liao, met with the Bohai Navy, and shot the Liao general Yelu Xie 10, the Liao soldiers were defeated, and 78 out of 10 died. In October of the same year, the Jurchen soldiers took advantage of the victory to conquer the city of Ningjiangzhou. In November of the same year, Wanyan Agu won the battle of Chuhedian, breaking through 100,000 Liao soldiers with 3,700 soldiers and horses, and since then the Jurchens have been strong and Liao. ”

"In the fifth year of Zhenghe, Wanyan Agu founded the country, the country was called Dajin, the year was established to accept the country, and he proclaimed himself emperor."

……

"Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao, the word Yanning, the small character Aguo, the grandson of Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong, the son of Yelu Jun of Liao Shunzong, and the mother of Empress Zhenshun Xiao."

"Yelu Yanxi credited Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Delidi and other ministers, blindly hunting, living a desolate and luxurious life, ignoring national politics, and weakening the national strength......"

"In the fifth year of Zhenghe, Yelu Yanxi personally conquered Huanglong Mansion and was defeated...... In the same year, Yelu Zhangnu took the opportunity to rebel, and in the sixth year of Zhizheng and rebellion, Fang Ping ......"

Zhao Hao's smooth and breathless voice rippled in the hall and reached the ears of everyone in the hall, and everyone was stunned.

The feeling of telling the story of Liao and Jin is simply like a treasure!

Yu Shen's face turned iron-blue, the disdainful tone just now seemed to be a naked slap in the face, and the other party's details of Liao and Jin were much clearer than he knew...... Even Yelu Yanxi's small characters are clear, and there are probably few in the court.

It's like asking someone what one plus one is and they solve all the calculus you don't understand......

After a long time, Yu Shen came to his senses and asked in a deep voice: "Since Gongzi knows that Yan Agu was able to break the Liao army of 100,000 with 3,700 people, and my Great Song Dynasty has not been able to defeat Liao for a hundred years, and now it is sitting big, supporting more than 100,000 troops, and occupying a small half of Liao's land. ”

I have to say that Yu Shen is also far-sighted, but he is not purely for the sake of the country, but for the interests of Cai Jing and his party.

Zhao Hao smiled, and his laughter was full of extreme disdain: "Wanyan and Aguda, a barbarian, from the white mountains and black waters, the Jurchens are hungry and have no food, cold and no clothes, Ru Mao drinks blood, lacks education, but can break through the Liao with the momentum of the slightest, why not?" Could it be that the Jurchens are all copper-tendoned and iron-clad, with three heads and six arms? Definitely! Since ancient times, the brave man who meets on the narrow road wins, and the one who can win after the end of the face and bones is just a brave word! ”

Zhao Hao paused, took a deep breath, and his voice had become impassioned: "Now that my Great Song Dynasty has millions of soldiers, the soldiers are wide, the treasury is full, and now the saint is born, it is a shame before the snow, and when the territory is expanded, everything is ready, and only the ...... Courage ear! As long as my subjects of the Great Song Dynasty work together, and have the brilliance of a saint, it is as easy as a backhand to destroy gold and break Liao! ”

At this moment, Yu Shen heard Zhao Hao's almost ignorant mouth cannon, and finally became angry: "Huangkou child, you haven't dried up your milk, what do you know, how dare you make such wild words?" ”

The status of the Northern Song Dynasty scholar is extremely high, an old minister like Yu Shen, where is the ordinary clan in his eyes, at first he was still patient and verbose with Zhao Hao, but now he sees that Zhao Hao is more and more outrageous, but he is speechless, and he scolds in anger.

Zhao Hao was furious, stepped forward with an arrow step, grabbed Yu Shen, lifted him up, and roared: "Hao's first horseman!" Bearded old thief! You are half cut into the ground, your ambition is completely gone, your blood is lost, you should have been disarmed and returned to the field, and you should have recuperated the disabled, but you are still a vegetarian meal, and you will bring disaster to the country and the people...... I, Zhao Hao, am a child of the clan, loyal to the country, and dedicated to the interests of the official family, how dare you despise me?! ”

Yu Shen's old bones, his body could weigh a few catties, and he was carried in his hand by Zhao Hao like an eagle catching a chicken, struggling desperately, looking extremely embarrassed, and his faces changed dramatically.
