Sun Hui wanted to listen to the ministers' arguments again, but he didn't expect that when the ministers saw him coming, they all closed their mouths and stopped talking.

Zhao Ji saw Sun Hui coming, smiled slightly, and ordered the chamberlain to set up a seat under his throne and invite Sun Hui to sit down.

"Immortal Master Sun also knows what happened in Liaodi, I don't know if I have a high opinion, say that I know?" Zhao Ji asked Sun Hui's opinion.

"Sun Xianshi alone can withstand 100,000 male soldiers, it is better to exert his might again and destroy the Liao army," a minister said at the bottom of the stairs, "Now due to the western expedition, the state is already insufficient, and the people are embarrassed. ”

Sun Hui couldn't help frowning when he heard what this person said, he turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Ding, a member of the household department, who said this.

Seeing Sun Hui looking at him, Zhao Ding was not afraid and met his gaze.

"Could it be that Immortal Master Sun is unwilling?" Zhao Ding then asked again.

"The Western Expedition has been completed, the army is only 60,000, and the money and grain are not much, how can it be said that the country is not enough because of the Western Expedition?" Sun Hui stared at him and said, "What is the purpose of what you just said?" ”

"Without him, please ask for the people's life." Zhao Ding protested, "You only said that the western expedition didn't cost much, why don't you say that since you came, the conquest has continued, don't you know how much it costs?" Why don't you say the cost of hundreds of thousands of Yanyun defenders? Have you factored in the cost of the river and summer land guards? The cost of the left and right is borne by all the people in the world, and you don't have to pay the immortal master, but the credit is all your immortal master's, hehe. ”

Sun Hui heard a different flavor from his words, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"I know better than you, a member of the household department, how much it costs. Yanyun and the land of Hehuang have all products, and military supplies no longer have to be borne by the imperial court. Sun Hui said coldly, "If you want me to carry the black pot of insufficient national use, it's better to die of this heart." ”

"Which is right and which is wrong, the righteous people in the world have their own opinions, and it is not something that you can change with a sharp mouth." Zhao Dinglang said.

Seeing the other party's upright and gentlemanly appearance, Sun Hui had an urge to spew out a mouthful of fire and burn him to death.

"Wonjin! Hello so bold! Dare to be so rude to the immortal master! Prime Minister He Li rebuked Zhao Ding with some annoyance, "You immediately apologize to the immortal master!" No nonsense! ”

"What I said is the truth, Xianggong thinks he is an immortal master, but I think he is a demon who confuses the court," Zhao Ding pointed to Sun Hui and said.

"What is the confusion of the court? Speak to me clearly! The privy deputy envoy Zhang Shuye was furious and asked sharply.

"To lure ministers with the utilitarian benefits of conquest and form a party for personal gain is to confuse the court!" Zhao Ding took a few steps forward and said to Emperor Zhao Ji, "And today's disaster in Fang Town is all because of this demon!" Yanyun Prefecture, Hehuang Land, Xinfu Xia Tu, the generals of the town are all people recommended by this demon, these people accumulate money and distribute it to the sergeants for personal favor, and their anti-intentions are clearly revealed! The minister risked his life today to reveal the true face of this evil to the people of the world! ”

Hearing Zhao Ding say this, Sun Hui understood his purpose and couldn't help but sneer secretly.

He didn't say anything, but glanced at the ministers, observing their reactions.

Most of the ministers stood silent, but Sun Hui saw that several people were deliberately avoiding their gaze.

"This demon confuses the court, and the prime minister doesn't even notice it, but his behavior is like this! The ministers ask Your Majesty to chase away the demons and evils, dismiss the ministers, and restore the laws of the ancestors, then the Jiangshan Sheji can avoid the danger of being tired......" Zhao Ding didn't finish speaking, Zhang Shuye was already full of anger, he stepped forward and gave Zhao Ding a mouthful.

Zhang Shuye is a military general, and he has a lot of strength, and this slap used all his strength, and Zhao Ding was beaten to the bottom of the stairs, and a bloody tooth spit out from his mouth.

"Okay, don't want this life today, and fight with you and other thieves!" Zhao Ding shouted and got up, and crashed into Uncle Zhang, at this time, the guard on duty had already rushed up and pulled him and Uncle Zhang apart. But let him stir up like this, and the court was in chaos.

Some of the ministers accused Zhao Ding of insulting Sun Hui in front of the emperor and asked for Zhao Ding's crime, while others supported Zhao Ding, saying that he was loyal, but his emotions were out of control and his words were a little excessive, and Zhang Shuye beat him in front of the emperor at night was the way to be a minister, and he should be investigated for the crime of "losing his honor in front of the king".

The ministers waited for a long time, but did not see the emperor appear, and then an attendant came out to deliver a decree, saying that the emperor was unwell and ordered the court to disperse, and the ministers sighed and retreated.

After retiring from the court, Sun Hui went to visit Uncle Zhang's home, only to know that the emperor had just issued an order to punish Uncle Zhang for his failure in front of the monarch and punishment for half a year. And Zhao Ding was dismissed from the post of Wailang, a member of the household department, and went out of Beijing to preside over the shrine.

"I thought the officials would dismiss me as a privy envoy and leave the town." Uncle Zhang smiled and said to Sun Hui, "Di Wu Xianggong was acquitted of guilt back then, and I am only punished today, it is really a heaven and an underground!" ”

"At present, the Khitan is in the process of recovering the country, and when the generals are used, the official family will not be so confused." Sun Hui smiled and comforted Uncle Zhang, although he knew that Zhao Ji had done a lot of foolish things in history.

"It's hard to say, today's incident is obviously aimed at us." Uncle Zhang sighed at night, "The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking." It has always been so. ”

"As long as I'm here, I won't let that happen." Sun Hui said in a deep voice.

Today in the court, he has made an important decision in his heart.

The next goal to change is this class of "righteous gentlemen"!

After the turmoil in the court passed, Emperor Zhao Ji did not appoint Zhao Ding again, but he never summoned Sun Hui to participate in the court meeting, although Sun Hui could know what happened in the court and the opposition.

Almost a month later, the Great Song Dynasty court has never agreed on what countermeasures to take against Liaojin, and in this month or so, the situation in the north has undergone unexpected changes.

First of all, the Liao State has really recovered.

And the emperor of Liao is still Yelu Yanxi.

In order to provoke the civil strife of the Khitans, Emperor Wanyan Zonghan released Yelu Yanxi at the same time, he also selected soldiers from the Khitan, Xi, Bohai and other tribes in Liaodi, and formed an army of about 10,000 people to him, so that he could reset the original Liaozhongjing as the capital and restore the Liao State.
