Zhao Zhen changed the Yuan Emperor's blessing, perhaps because he wanted God to bless the calamitous Zhao Song Dynasty, but in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, he encountered countless bad things, one after another, making it bigger and bigger, and it was almost impossible to clean up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

From the first half of the year, Shanghukou burst the embankment, Xia Zhu died of illness, to the second half of the year, the people were everywhere, and it was easy to enter Layue, and the Liao Kou plundered again, not to mention the famine in the south and the barbarian rebellion around it...... The pressure from all sides fell on the shoulders of this emperor who had just passed the age of confusion.

Zhao Zhen was very tired and difficult to carry.

In particular, the war between Song and Liao intensified, the fear of Liao was aroused, the capital was simply three shocks a day, all kinds of news flew all over the sky, today it is said that Fan Xianggong died in battle, the body is still standing, shouting to kill the thief, and tomorrow it is said that Fan Zhongyan colluded with Liao Kou, and wants to enter the capital and set up a new king. Some people also pointed the finger at Jia Changchao, saying that Jia Xianggong's corpse was vegetarian, and there was no way to deal with it, so he should be dismissed immediately...... Jia Xianggong is so angry, what should Lao Tzu do, don't lie down every time!

There were disturbances, all kinds of information, and there was a mess, and Zhao Zhen's ears seemed to have countless mosquitoes, buzzing and screaming, which made him uneasy and couldn't come up with an idea.

"Chen Banban, Song Xianggong has arrived in Beijing?"

The person Zhao Zhen asked was Song Zhen Song Xianggong, to talk about this person, it is also very famous, his original name was Song Jiao, when he participated in the imperial examination, because the surname and the country name are the same, it is easy to misunderstand the alternation of the Great Song Dynasty, which is very unlucky, so it was changed to Song Zhen, Xu is stained with the name of the Universiade, Song Zhen was named the champion, which also became the third place in the Three Yuan since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

A high degree of education brings a high starting point, and Song Xianggong has had a smooth journey and has achieved the position of prime minister. A few years ago, because his son befriended bandits, Song Zhen was demoted out of the capital and went out of Henan Mansion.

This time, the situation of the imperial court was critical, and Song Zhen was transferred back to the capital, and he was added to the Pingzhang affair, which seemed to be intended to enter the West Mansion and take charge of the army with Pang Ji.

And there are rumors that Song Zhen was activated because of Xia Zhu's recommendation in the testament.

Both Song Zhen and Xia Zhu once opposed the Qingli New Deal, and this speculation is not groundless.

All in all, it is unknown whether the gods from all walks of life gather in the capital with one heart and one mind and go to the national disaster together, or whether they deceive each other and pull each other's hind legs.

Chen Lin strictly adhered to the position of a eunuch, bowed down and said: "Qiqi sage, Song Xianggong entered Beijing last night, I heard that he met Wen Xianggong first, and then Wang Xianggong went to find him, and the two talked for less than half an hour. ”

Wen Xianggong is Wen Yanbo, and Wang Xianggong is the privy deputy envoy Wang Gongchen, these three people are relatively conservative, Wen Yanbo became the prime minister, straight to the point, and advised Zhao Zhen to be silent for 20 years, and also shouted the slogan of disarmament of 80,000.

What they will think about the treatment of Liao, it is obvious.

Zhao Zhen suddenly regretted a little, he demoted Han Qi out of the capital, Fu Bi is a stuffy oil bottle, he is good at doing things, but his combat effectiveness is only five, Pang Ji never forms a party, he is alone, and the entire court situation is controlled by Wen Yanbo and others. Zhao Zhen's heart is always a little unwilling, as the Son of Heaven, the Ninety-Five Supreme, he is always high internally, and when he encounters an enemy country, he bows his head, and he can't say anything......

"Chen Banban, Fan Aiqing's side, didn't you send anyone to Beijing?"

From the title, Chen Lin smelled the difference, and it seemed that His Majesty was still more partial to Fan Zhongyan.

"Hui Sheng, sent, the person who came is called Su Xun, I heard that it is just a master book, and his official position is too low, so he is not qualified to participate in the court meeting."

Zhao Zhen's face sank, and he said dissatisfiedly: "When the immortal goes down to ask about the land, the main book is more suitable, so let him attend the imperial meeting and listen to the views of the imperial court, I also want to ask for his opinion." ”

Chen Lin nodded hurriedly and went down to make arrangements.

After a while, several Xianggong fish entered, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Pang Ji, Song Zhen, and Wang Gongchen entered in turn, saluted Zhao Zhen, and then sat down.

Zhao Zhen took the lead in asking, "Xianggong Wen, the war situation in Hebei is like fire, and the Liao State has sent envoys, how do you think we should deal with it?" ”

Wen Yanbo lowered his eyelids and sighed, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for the ministers to say discouraged words, it was really the court that couldn't get the slightest bit of food, half a month ago, the household department borrowed 200,000 stone grain from large households, of which 100,000 stone was sent to Hebei, and the other 100,000 stone was used as the Beijing official's Yulu, finally let everyone have a good year, the court's finances are so difficult, the minister is really responsible for His Majesty's trust, and the minister is guilty!" ”

Speaking of emotion, Wen Yanbo wiped the corners of his eyes, Zhao Zhen heard Wen Yanbo's crying, and his heart was not happy, "Wen Xianggong has just entered Beijing, I can't blame you, I am immoral and incompetent, and the people are suffering!" ”

Zhao Zhen was full of self-blame, and Su Xun, who was standing at the end, peeked at the emperor, white and rich, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, which was very in line with the people's impression of the emperor.

It's just that how do you old man know, if it weren't for Fan Zhen's indiscriminate stirring, there would be no need to borrow food at all, and so many people in Hebei would not starve to death...... Thinking of this, Su Xun's throat itched, and he threw all the instructions of Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu out of the clouds, he really wanted the emperor to know the truth and stop being deceived by these ministers!

With Wen Yanbo taking the lead, Wang Gongchen and Song Zhen also spoke, their meanings are almost the same, they are all difficulties in the court, and they must not raise troops.

Fu Bi had a calm face and interjected, "If it's not my belligerent Song Dynasty, why is Liao Kou arrogant and unreasonable, what should I do?" ”

Wen Yanbo smiled slightly, "Then fight according to reason, let what you can do, and resolutely refuse to let what you can't!" ”

"Then why can you let it, and what can't you let it?"

"Naturally, every inch of land must be contested, as for the year's coin, didn't the rich minister send an envoy to the Liao State back then, didn't he also increase 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 horses of silk?"

It is said that beating people does not slap their faces, Wen Xianggong is really ruthless enough, and he poked Fu Bi's weakness at once.

In the second year of Qingli, because the Great Song Dynasty was repeatedly defeated in the northwest, the Liao State took the opportunity to blackmail, and wanted to take away the land of ten counties such as Waqiao, and the Great Song Dynasty sent Fu Bi to the Liao State, and the rich minister made a generous statement, refuting the requirements of the Liao State, and only increased 100,000 silver and 100,000 silk.

At that time, it seemed that it was undoubtedly a diplomatic victory, but time has passed, and Fu Bi has increased his coins after all, and as a moral gentleman, Fu Xianggong did not dare to deny it.

If you can do that, so can Wen Xianggong.

Of the five ministers, three of them agreed on the same page, and one was easily settled, and it seems that the overall situation has been decided!

The ministers look at it this way, but Zhao Zhen is not happy, do you have to pay for it again?

What do you think I'm doing, the treasury?

You don't have a face, I still have a face!

Zhao Zhen has been cultivated and will not be mad with his prime minister, but his gloomy face shows an angry heart, and his gaze swept over and fell on Su Xun's body.

Lao Su seemed to feel the emperor's gaze, and he also raised his head, his eyes were facing each other, crackling! Zhao Zhen read the strong anger and firm courage in Su Xun's eyes, and couldn't help but be shocked!

"Su Qing, you have been in Hebei for a long time, you have experienced disaster relief, and you understand the situation of Liao's entry into the country, what do you think?"

Su Xun burst into tears, Your Majesty, you can be regarded as asking me!

Su Laoquan took a step, as if there was a flame burning all over his body, "Wechen is not qualified to discuss state affairs, thanks to His Majesty's questioning, Wechen has the courage to say, Wechen thinks that the New Year's coin should be moved, but it is not an increase, but a decrease!" I should take this opportunity to completely abolish the New Year's coins and eliminate the shame on my Great Song head! ”

Ooh!

Sure enough, it is the eloquent and majestic Su Laoquan, who is unbridled and unbridled, and he is extraordinary as soon as he makes a move!

Wen Yanbo's eyes widened instantly, and then he narrowed again, and was openly slapped in the face by a small official in front of the emperor, his anger can be imagined.

However, Su Xun turned a blind eye.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is not talking wildly, but feels that the present is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Just now, all the ministers said that the difficulties of my Great Song Dynasty are far greater than those of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are far more difficult than the Great Song Dynasty ten times and hundreds of times, if they dare to move troops at will, they will only be doomed! ”

Wen Yanbo held his identity and was unwilling to debate with Su Xun, but he just glanced at Wang Gongchen, and Wang Gongchen immediately stood up.

"You are talking nonsense, even if the Liao State can't get 200,000 iron horses, 100,000 horses can still be released, how can my Great Song deal with it?"

Su Xun laughed, "100,000 horses? This minister, do you know whose hands the Liao State's troops are? ”

Wang Gongchen subconsciously shook his head.

Su Xun sneered: "The people and horses of the Liao State can be divided into about three parts, of which the strongest leather room army is in the hands of the Liao lord, about sixty or seventy thousand people, followed by the forty or fifty thousand elite soldiers owned by the descendants of the Xiao family, and the third is the soldiers and horses in the hands of Yelu Chongyuan, the emperor's younger brother of the Liao State, although they are not as elite as the first two, but they are better in number, mainly distributed in the sixteen states of Yanyun, more than 100,000 people!" ”

When Su Xun said this, he arched his hand at Zhao Zhen, "Your Majesty, Yelu Chongyuan was originally the younger brother of the Liao Lord, when Yelu Chongyuan betrayed his mother and assisted the Liao Lord to ascend the throne, the Liao Lord forgot his feelings for a while, and with the strength of wine, he named Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's younger brother, and promised to pass the throne to Chongyuan after a hundred years." In recent decades, the atmosphere of the Liao State has changed greatly, more and more princes and nobles, ministers and officials have supported the succession of the father to the son, and although the prince of the Liao State is young, he has some strategy, faintly, the Liao State has presented a dispute between the crown prince and the imperial brother, both of which are sitting on tens of thousands of horses. At this moment, which of them dares to send troops easily? ”

Su Xun is good at talking about military affairs, in the past, he was more on paper, but since he arrived at the Six Arts Academy, he has also been influenced by the pragmatic style, and what he said is more meaningful.

"The Liao State is now a dead knot, dispatching the leather room army, worried that Yelu Chongyuan will make trouble, let Yelu Chongyuan send troops, and bear the burden of the Liao lord's father and son, if the Liao lord and Chongyuan send troops together, the Xiao clan of the descendant clan will not make waves, and the three families will send troops together, each with a confidant, even if there are millions of people, it is not worth mentioning!"

Su Xun was heartbroken, and asked generously: "The Liao Kingdom is in crisis, far better than the Great Song Dynasty, it is clear that it is a lie and intimidation, Weichen really doesn't know, why is my Great Song so cowardly, is there no hot-blooded man in my Great Song Dynasty?" Why do you want to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? ”
