[I'm sorry everyone. Interrupted for a day. 】

Seeing Han Gang leave the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Ji's brows never relaxed.

Han Gang would come to ask for a pair of fires, and said that it was a matter of military importance, which made Zhao Ji feel a trace of worry in his heart.

However, Han Gang asked to retract the edict issued earlier, but Zhao Ji could not agree.

He didn't issue an edict to do things cheaply. This time, he disobeyed the military order and rushed out to fight for merit, which caused several major events in the imperial court. How can this wind grow?

Forcing the army to return will indeed hurt the morale of the nearly 100,000 troops in Yanyanlu, but as long as the food and salary are sufficient, morale is still very easy to motivate. Zhao Ji believed that after arriving at the foot of Lingzhou City, the morale of Yan Yanlu would be able to emerge on its own without spending his tongue to agitate.

The act of acquiescing to the practice of the Plantation will give a very bad example to the others, and when everyone rushes to send troops, regardless of whether they are prepared or not, the result will only be worse.

There are disadvantages on both sides, but the lesser of two evils, Zhao Ji weighed it, and without any hesitation, he issued an edict to strictly order him to return to the division. Even if Han Gang came to advise, he couldn't change Zhao Ji's mind.

But watching Han Gang step out of the hall, the hidden worry in Zhao Ji's heart became heavy.

After all, Han Gang was born in the northwest, and when it comes to his deep understanding of the military affairs of the northwest, he is the only one in the DPRK and the Central Committee now. Han Gang was so anxious to defend Yan Yanlu, Zhao Ji couldn't be sure that he was wrong. With Han Gang's previous attitude of opposing the rush forward, it cannot be attributed to his personal friendship that he is protecting the seed today.

Zhao Ji's head is hurting, and the current imperial historian Li Ding has already become famous outside the palace.

According to the order of today's entry, it was time for Zhao Ji to summon Li Ding, and Han Gang said that it was a matter of military importance, so he took a step forward.

After Li Ding came in and bowed, he presented an excerpt: "Your Majesty, this is the confession of Su Shi's interrogation in Taichung in the past two days. All the impeachments of the day before yesterday have been pleaded guilty. ”

Zhao Ji flipped through it casually, and without Li Ding's detailed explanation, he was already angry after reading the confession.

Su Shi admitted all the accusations made against him by Yushitai before. Satirizing the salt law, satirizing the water conservancy project, satirizing the exemption law, satirizing the convenience of the people, and the sinister intentions hidden in the poems, Su Shi confessed in the interrogation of the Yushitai.

Zhao Ji is not a stupid person, and he understands that the prisoner confesses to the crime so easily, either because he can't be punished, or he is covering up a heavier crime.

"Have you ever been punished?" He asked bluntly, his eyes not letting go of any change in Li Ding's face.

Li Ding lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and his answer was affirmative and powerful: "Su Shi is famous in the world, and his words can confuse the public." In order to avoid people's words, Taichung did not dare to use torture. ”

I don't dare to use torture! Zhao Ji was even more angry. Su Shi was really famous, and even the imperial history platform that impeached him only dared to interrogate but did not dare to torture.

"This case must be investigated to the end!" Because of a conversation with Han Gang just now, Zhao Ji's mood was already very irritable, but now it is even deeper, "Li Ding, you give me a good interrogation." What did Su Shi say? What was done? How many people corresponded with him in letters and slandered the government together? These people have given me a lot of trials! ”

The anger in the tone of the Son of Heaven could frighten the less courageous courtiers. Li Dingze was overjoyed. The words that were prepared in advance to persuade Zhao Ji to the end did not come in handy at all.

He bowed to the chief's command: "The ministers obey the command." ”

Zhao Ji turned his face and clenched his fist on the imperial case, he didn't have the idea of forgiving Su Shi at all now.

Forgive the offense of the courtiers, this virtue, Zhao Ji also asked himself.

At the beginning, Emperor Renzong was sprayed with a spit on the face by the courtiers, and he almost fainted from the smell of sweat, and he had to complain after returning to the palace. But he, Zhao Xu, every time he summoned Wu Chong in the past, Wu Chong's tumor stinks, but he didn't even complain when he returned to the palace.

Because he knows that no matter how much Wu Chong and the others fight, part of their thoughts is for national affairs after all, not entirely selfish.

But Su Shi is different. In Zhao Ji's view, Su Shi was completely venting his resentment with selfishness. Look at this is not pleasing to the eye, look at that is not pleasing to the eye, whoever is on the stage, he will see who is not pleasing to the eye, only he is the smartest.

In fact, Zhao Ji has seen a lot of such people, and generally speaking, he just laughed it off, and Zhao Ji didn't take it to heart.

But Su Shi is very famous. If Han Gang is rumored to be a disciple of the Medicine King in the outside world, then Su Shi is a genuine Wenqu star. His poems are loved by everyone, and what he says is naturally convincing to many people.

Such a person talks about the government, even if he is only making a fuss about poetry, but the bad influence he brings is incomparable to ordinary people who say 10,000 sentences.

Zhao Ji could not tolerate the efforts of someone to slander him, especially the courtiers who could incite people's hearts. saw the confession, if he said that he had no murderous intentions towards Su Shi, it would be an outright lie.

Zhao Ji really wanted to go down with a knife and make everyone shut up.

Since he ascended the throne, it took him twelve years to make the Great Song Dynasty stronger step by step. The current situation is created by him single-handedly, and he has worked hard to water it, just like his own son. What father can tolerate the slander of his son whom he worked so hard to raise?

Speaking of changing the law, all the people in the world think of is Wang Anshi. But Wang Anshi's stay is just a matter of one sentence, and he can't be a minister.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has achieved a strong army and a rich country, it is indeed the result of Wang Anshi's presiding over the law change. But Wang Anshi presided over the reform of the law with the permission and control of his Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji's effort and energy in changing the law were no less than those of any courtier, and his risk was far higher than anyone else's...... And it's much higher.

He, Zhao Xuan, has staked the whole world of the Great Song Dynasty.

If the change fails, Wang Anshi will just lose his official position and go to work, and he will not even worry about Shang Ying's life. But for Zhao Ji, the state affairs have collapsed, his reputation has fallen to the bottom, and there is even a risk that the throne will not be guaranteed - in order to implement the new law, the clan has been offended by him.

The benefits brought by the change are the achievements that Zhao Ji cares about. Therefore, although Wang Anshi has left his post, the new law is still running steadily, without him, just because it is Zhao Ji's intention to change the law.

When Zhenzong and Renzong were in power, no one would think it was good news when they heard the emergency report at the border gate. Either the Liao people wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, or the party members broke through the customs and plundered the country. In those years, once there was a military situation on the frontier, there would always be a panic in the city of Tokyo, and all kinds of rumors would always spread everywhere.

But now, it's the party members who are shocked overnight! It's the Khitans!

The official army of the Great Song Dynasty already had the strength to completely suffer for a hundred years.

At this time, there are still people who dare to say that the new law is not, and it has spread very widely, inciting the hearts of the people, which Zhao Ji cannot tolerate at all.

With the full support of the Son of Heaven, the happy Li Ding got up and retreated.

Zhao Ji sat behind the imperial case, and the look on his face was like an iceberg in the extreme north, which was completely different from the warm and pleasant spring light outside.

He won't spare Su Shi lightly. He will no longer let opposition and argument interfere with the court.

After the war against Western Xia, it was time to prepare for a war against the Liao people in order to recover Youyan Yunzhong. But the Khitan is not comparable to Western Xia, and even if there will be civil strife, it is still not to be humiliated.

For Western Xia, as long as the troops of Shaanxi and Hedong are mobilized, and tens of thousands of forbidden troops from Beijing are added, it is already more than enough. But attacking Liao is a national battle, and all the forces of the whole country must be mobilized. And when the whole country is fighting, it is necessary to have internal stability in the country, and it is not possible to fight in front of it, but suddenly turn the sky upside down.

In order to fulfill his lifelong wish, Zhao Ji didn't mind taking people first.

……………………

Han Gang walked out of the Chongzheng Hall and passed by Li Ding.

In the hand-over, Han Gang keenly found that there was a spring breeze between the eyebrows in the imperial history. And Han Gang didn't have to look in the mirror, and he knew that he was now gloomy.

Well, all the responsibilities on my body have been relieved this time, and by the way, I have eased the relationship with the breeder.

Han Gang tried his best not to let the relaxed emotions in his heart leak out between his demeanor and words, but his steps were still a little brisker than usual.

However, for this war, Han Gang became more and more pessimistic.

The ten fingers stretched out are all of their own lengths, and the six roads that came out of the battle this time are also the situation that each way has its own way. There are hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of military attachés, and there are hundreds of thousands of military attachés, and there are all kinds of people.

Some are wise, some are stupid; Some are aggressive, some are steady; Some people like to use surprise soldiers, and some people like to be in a dignified formation. Different personalities bring out different armies. To integrate them, it is not a crude truncation to make up for the shortcomings, and the rafters that come out of the way can be suppressed.

The Son of Heaven and the courtiers were full of illusions about war, thinking that Western Xia was a broken house that could be kicked down with a single kick. In a different era, most of them will clamore for the destruction of Western Xia within three months, and they will be whipped and cut off or something.

Han Gang only hoped that the worst result would not end up in the worst scene, and the result of thirty years of recuperation would not be ruined all at once.

Fortunately, Wang Zhongzheng should know this, and he will not be stupid enough to bet all his hopes on Lingzhou, and Liangzhou in the Hexi Corridor will definitely not let go. Instead of grabbing the flatbread with Gao Zunyu and planting them, it is better to send the meat in your bowl into your stomach first.

Once the official army took control of Hexi and recovered Yinxia, even if it failed to capture Xingling this time, the end of the Western Xia Kingdom would only drag on for another three or five years.

Han Gang is still a little worried about the Liao people now.

It is said that the Liao State will inevitably have civil strife this time, but the long-awaited good news of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers has never been heard, and now it is only from the return of the Zhengdan envoy to know that the new Son of Heaven of the Liao State is accompanied by the Taishi and the Taifu, just like the spring bowl that went to the Yazi River in previous years, and presided over the head fish banquet that lasted for a hundred years.

Yelu Yixin's decision is a source of respect. Not every powerful minister dared to take the emperor around the country, but Yelu Yixin did

If there was no civil strife in the Liao State, then Yelu Yixin would definitely not sit idly by and watch the Song army destroy the Western Xia, and would definitely send troops. Perhaps he would send troops to aid Western Xia, or simply send troops to Hebei in an attempt to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

Fortunately, Guo Kui went to Hebei.

With Guo Kui in charge, Han Gang can also put his mind at ease, but he can put aside the affairs of Hebei.

But then again, it's the worst-case scenario. In Han Gang's opinion, Yelu Yixin's ability to stabilize his position is already very remarkable, and if he wants to help Western Xia, I am afraid that it can only be eloquence and moral help.

It's not going to get to that point.

Han Gang shook his head, leaving his unnecessary worries behind, but for some reason, his steps did become a little heavy.
