The palace is resplendent and extremely well guarded.

If it was before, Xin Xi naturally still had to walk from the main gate of the palace, but now, after he has really taken charge of the Shadow Guard, after reading all the information in the attic, he naturally knows that the Shadow Guard Army has a way for the Shadow Guard to enter the palace.

It's just that this road, the former commander of the Shadow Guard, Xin Ti, has never dared to walk it, because he has been suppressed by Emperor Renzong, and Xin Tier is worried that taking that secret road will be considered disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor, so in the past twenty-four years, Xin Tier has only been taken through once before the former commander of the Shadow Guard Army died.

At the end of Suzaku Street, behind the dilapidated ditch, there is actually a secret passage, and this secret passage leads directly to the Living Hall and the Chengde Hall.

After entering the secret passage, under the escort of Thirty-Six, he walked along the dark secret passage, and after about half an hour, Thirty-Six pushed the lid above him open and went up.

Xin Zhen also climbed up.

After climbing up, Xin Xi was stunned to find that this so-called lid turned out to be a stone table, the kind of bluestone table that weighs at least four or five hundred catties!

Grass, this secret passage, even if others find it and want to open it, they can't do it for a while!

Putting away the surprise in his heart, Xin Xi began to look around, however, the next moment, he was stunned, because this is what a bedroom looks like, on the east window of the bedroom, there is a low-key and luxurious bed, the sheets and bedding are all bright yellow fine silk texture.

At this time, on the bright yellow bed, there was a person lying quietly.

The man was pale, and there were even a few gray hairs on his sideburns.

This is the new emperor Zhao Shu!

Xin Xi slowly approached the past.

Zhao Shu, who closed his eyes tightly, suddenly spoke: "I knew that you would use this secret passage to come in, after all, after this time, the wings of the Shadow Guard Army have hardened again!" ”

Xin Zhen chuckled: "The wings of the Shadow Guard Army are not hard, how can they protect the Great Song Dynasty in this situation where the four Yi Gu are eyeing each other?" ”

Zhao Shu was silent, the Shadow Guard Army is a thorn in front of the imperial power, this is true, but in the same way, the Shadow Guard Army has indeed protected the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, which is also true.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Shu opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot and haggard: "What are you doing here?!" In this palace, although there are not as many masters as your Shadow Guard, and not as powerful as the masters of your Shadow Guard, if I give an order, Xin Shiyi will not come back! ”

Xin Xian frowned, and slowly spoke: "If Your Majesty really wants to let Xin have no return, Xin will pull you back, the same way, you and I both die at the same time, the court will be chaotic because of the absence of a monarch for a day, and even, the throne will cause a bloody storm of the descendants of the Zhao clan, and if I die, the Shadow Guard Army will also be in chaos, one light and one dark, all messed up, the Great Song Dynasty will die soon, and the Chinese will die soon!" ”

Speaking of this, Xin Xi said lightly: "Presumably, with Your Majesty's wisdom, you will never do such a blind act!" ”

Zhao Shu smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you find out before, you Xin Shiyi are such a powerful character?!" ”

Xin Zhen chuckled: "When you are a grandson, you must have the consciousness of being a grandson, just like the minister didn't know before, it turns out that the death of several children of the first emperor is related to Your Majesty!" ”

At first, he saw the information about the eunuch Xu Haishou, and later, combined with some news obtained by the Tiance Army on the North Road, in the end, Xin Xi confirmed that the death of Renzong's first heir was done by Xu Haishou alone, but then, after Zhao Shu became Renzong's adopted son, Renzong's two later heirs were jointly killed by Zhao Shu and Xu Haishou!

Zhao Shu's face flushed with a red tide: "You ......!" ”

Xin Xi smiled faintly: "The first emperor is dead, and there is no heir left behind by the first emperor, so it's useless for the minister to say it!" Moreover, what the minister needs is a stable court, and he doesn't want to see a bloody storm in the court, which will lead to instability. ”

"Besides, the minister is here, but if you have a request for Your Majesty, how can you let this news get out!"

Xin Zhen laughed evilly, this is the biggest bargaining chip in his hand, of course, maybe it is not needed, after all, this trip to Tianzhu is not only for the woman he loves, but also for Zhao Shu's little daughter!

Zhao Shu smiled helplessly: "You say, what do you have to ask me for?!" ”

Xin Xi slowly spoke: "Ah Xue's life is coming to an end, the three major divine doctors in the world, Uncle Cao Guo is helpless, he will only continue his life, he can't even see any disease, and now he can't do it continuously, and Zhilugu, even Yelu Hongji doesn't know where he is, then, the three major divine doctors, only Master Tianzhu Xuyi is left!" I want to invite him to Bianliang! ”

Zhao Shu was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "It's ridiculous, you are as good as you Xin Shiyi, but you can't pass the beauty pass!" ”

Xin Xi smiled: "That's your daughter, Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Shu sighed slightly: "I am half happy and half worried, I am happy that you are very good to Ah Xue, and I am worried that your next request, I am afraid that I will be infamous in my last life!" ”

Xin Zhen nodded: "Yes, when the treasury is empty, sending troops without authorization, Your Majesty may indeed be infamous for a lifetime, but if this is defeated, it will not be infamy, but a British name!" Therefore, Your Majesty should not be half happy and half sad, but surprised! ”

Speaking of surprises, Xin Xi suddenly wanted to ask Zhao Shu very funny, "Surprised, surprised......

After thinking about it, I still gave up.

Zhao Shu smiled faintly: "It's impossible, what a heroic name, it's a joke, if you want to go to Tianzhu, you must send troops to involve Western Xia and Tubo, face Western Xia, maybe you can win, face Tubo, nine defeats in ten battles, face Tubo and Western Xia, ten battles and ten defeats!" ”

Xin Xi didn't care, but he didn't talk much about this topic, but said directly: "Then, Your Majesty will order the troops!" The Western Army alone is not enough, the Hebei Army also has to transfer 30,000 people, and then, 200,000 forbidden troops from the forbidden army in the capital will be transferred to the Hebei Army to defend the Khitan! ”

"200,000, where does the money and food come from?!" Zhao Shu's face was flushed, today's treasury, even if it is squeezed dry, is not enough for the 30,000 army to eat, and even, once the war starts, the Western Army will have to find its own way, and now, it will transfer 200,000 forbidden troops to Hebei? !

Xin Zhen was indifferent: "Issuing treasury bonds, gathering wealth from the people, and paying back thousands of dollars in interest after the war." Come to think of it, as long as Your Majesty lifts up the righteousness of the country, it is profitable, and it is for the sake of the family and the country, in this case, there are still many people who are willing to pay, and the people have paid for it, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, if they don't want to, they will also follow the money, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will pay the money, so who would dare not pay for the businessmen in the world? ! With all ease, Your Majesty will be able to get the money and food that a million-strong army needs for a year! ”

Zhao Shu looked at Xin Xi in a daze, his face was complicated, he had never heard of the word national debt, but after listening to Xin Xi's words, he understood the meaning of national debt, and because of this, he was surprised by Xin Shiyi's ability to make money.

This is really a flip of hands, and it solves the most urgent urgent need of the Great Song Dynasty!

If he could have thought of this method before, with enough money and food, and pulling out an army of millions, would he not be able to destroy the Shadow Guard?!

Thinking of this, happy and angry, Zhao Shu coughed desperately, and a eunuch came hurriedly outside the door and knocked on the door: "Your Majesty?!" ”
