Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this concubine of the Pan family is even more desperate for Cai Dao than the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, if the Empress Dowager and Empress Meng were content with the status quo and did not want to make a big move before Zhao Ban's pro-government, whether it was a personnel change or an established policy change, Cai Dao would not easily change the status quo of the forbidden army.

Because, Shaosheng's reform has greatly improved the appearance and combat effectiveness of the 800,000 new forbidden troops in Bianliang City.

The new official took office with three fires, and Cai Dao had just served as the third envoy, and this first fire was about to burn to the head of the forbidden army.

"Dao'er, so to speak! Do you think you have a chance to wipe out the Western Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop! In the impression of the Empress Dowager, the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty was only Western Xia, so she asked this.

Empress Meng didn't speak, her eyes were always on Xiao Zhao's body, and Xiao Zhao's companion stared at Cai Dao with big eyes.

Don't think that Xiao Zhao is young and can't understand these topics. He has been trained by Cai Dao to be very smart since he was a child, which even Cai Dao, half of the teacher, was very surprised.

Now even Cai Dao doesn't know what the little emperor is thinking.

"No, the Empress Dowager, you guessed wrong this time. Poor...... What Wechen is talking about is not Western Xia, but Liao, and Wechen is sure to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun within five years. Cai Dao shook his head and said these earth-shattering words.

"What? This...... Dao'er, you have to be cautious! The Empress Dowager was a little scared when she heard it, if Cai Dao said that she could destroy Western Xia, she would absolutely trust Cai Dao.

However, if the enemy facing the Great Liao State is the Great Liao State, no matter how much the Empress Dowager trusts Cai Dao, the fear of the Liao State Iron Cavalry will overcome the trust in Cai Dao.

"Third Envoy, how can you be so sure?" Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhao suddenly asked in a milky voice.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen asks you two questions?

First, how many years has it been since Yelu Hongji ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne today?

Second, do you think Yelu Hongji is a wise king, a faint king, or a king of observance? Cai Dao did not directly answer Zhao Ban's question, but asked two questions first.

"Hmmm! The third envoy, Yelu Hongji, has been on the throne for forty-five years. That bearded man must have been a faint man. Xiao Zhao Ban counted carefully with his fingers before replying.

Cai Dao patiently explained: "Your Majesty's calculation is very accurate, since Yelu Hongji is a faint monarch, and he has been in power for a full forty-five years, during his reign, he not only unjustly killed his queen and prince, but also let his uncle Yelu Chongyuan have full wings, although he has suppressed Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion, but it has also wasted the already weakened national strength of the Great Liao State." Moreover, this Yelu Hongji has been deaf to the extreme, and he has to go further north to hunt every year, but he has no intention of governing the government. Now, he is old, and there are only a few years left before his death. Then, this is the opportunity for my Great Song Kingdom to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. ”

"But, the third envoy, didn't the old gentleman say that the gift of Zhuxia will not cut down the state of mourning?" In the past few days, the Empress Dowager has recruited a few Hongru into the palace to teach Xiao Zhao.

"Your Majesty is gifted and intelligent, and after just a few days of study, he has been able to quote scriptures, which is a blessing for my Great Song Dynasty!" Cai Daoxian praised Xiao Zhao a little, and then said: "However, Your Majesty, Weichen does not want to send troops immediately after Yelu Hongji's death. The emperor who succeeded to the throne of the Great Liao State is now definitely Yelu Yanxi, the son of the first prince. Your Majesty, you think, after the death of the faint monarch, the people of the Great Liao King will definitely hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a Ming monarch, and he is the grandson of Xiao Guanyin after all. However, what if this Yelu Yanxi is not a Ming monarch, but an emperor who is even more mediocre than Yelu Hongji? ”

"Three envoys, then it doesn't need to be said, directly send troops and destroy the Great Liao Kingdom!" Maybe Xiao Zhao Ban listened to a lot of storytelling and romance from Cai Dao, and the words he said were all set in sets.

Cai Dao had no choice but to say more patiently: "Eh! At this point, Your Majesty is difficult to be a small minister. Your Majesty, I'm afraid that until now, Yelu Hongji and Yelu Yanxi, the two ancestors and grandsons, have not yet known that a new tribe has quietly emerged in the north of the Great Liao Kingdom-the Jurchen Wanyan Division. The Khitans had always been slaves to the Jurchens, so the Jurchens and other tribes around them were very hostile to the Khitans.

As far as Wei Chen knows, the leader of the Wanyan Department, Wanyan Aguta, is a big man who can be compared to Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, and the place of his henchmen has developed a big trouble for his henchmen, but the two faint monarchs still don't know it. Your Majesty, in the current situation, either my Da Song will take the lead, or the Jurchens will take the lead. At that time, under the attack of the north and the south, the Liao State will definitely fall.

The locals have such a saying that the Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 people, and they are invincible. ”

"It's just some wild people in the mountains and forests, and they dare to boast! By the way, the third envoy, said Xiaoxiong, are you a Xiaoxiong? Suddenly, Xiao Zhao asked Cai Dao such a question innocently.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Meng were shocked, these words were not words that could be said by a child less than six years old, and someone must have been secretly instigating them in the middle. And this person is definitely not the palace maid and eunuch who served Zhao Companion, because when he was in the palace, either the Empress Dowager Meng or the Empress Dowager accompanied him, and the two ladies never left at the same time.

Except, those old masters who had just been recruited by the Empress Dowager for Zhao Ban and taught him Confucianism.

But which master taught it?

The Empress Dowager nodded to her confidant Zhu Gonggong without moving, and he immediately went out lightly to investigate the matter. Gonggong Zhu is now the head of the Imperial City Division.

Cai Dao hesitated for a while, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you know what the word Xiaoxiong means?" ”

"Aren't you heroes?"

"Your Majesty, strictly speaking, heroes and heroes do not have the same meaning, just like the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Weichen told you before. You say, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, who is the hero and who is the hero? Cai Dao asked.

"Cao Cao and the Sun brothers are naturally heroes, and Liu Bei is a hero." This is Xiao Zhaoban's point of view, after speaking, he still looked at Cai Dao complacently.

"Your Majesty, for Liu Bei, you are wrong. Liu Bei is also a hero, and what is the difference between a hero and a hero? The heroes and heroes are both in troubled times, raising troops to quell the rebellion, but the heroes are loyal to the emperor, the former Tang Guo Ziyi is a model of heroes, but the heroes are harboring evil intentions and are not loyal to their emperors, Cao Cao and Sima Yi are heroes. Cai Dao said.
