Several flowers bloom, one branch each.

Let's say that on the fifth day of the Song Liao War, in the Xixia Palace, oh no, I have to change the name to the Great Xia Palace, Wang Qiu was exercising with Li Yuanhao's beauty who rewarded him, but he received the news that he arranged in Sanguan to send him a longing for a long time, and immediately ran towards Li Yuanhao's residence in a hurry, completely ignoring his disheveled image.

"Great king, great thing! That's a great thing...... Yes! King, you are busy first, and your subordinates don't see anything! Didn't see anything! Wang Qiu didn't even knock on the door, he opened Li Yuanhao's door and rushed in, but they were really a good master and servant, and they all did the same thing in the daytime.

"Oops! When you see it, you see it, what's the big deal, isn't it just for the beauty to appreciate! Looking at your outfit, you must not have had a lot of fun, do you want to come together? Li Yuanhao's taste is getting heavier and heavier, not only is he not angry, but he also has the intention of riding together.

Wang Qiu looked at the beauty under Li Yuanhao, swallowed hard, and said against his will: "Wang, you are busy first, just wait for your subordinates!" ”

Li Yuanhao didn't force it, and while doing exercise, he asked him: "Aren't you quite calm on weekdays!" What are you doing frizzy today? ”

Wang Qiu: "King, this is a great good thing, your good thing is about to come to pass, when you are finished, your subordinates are talking to you in detail!" ”

As soon as Li Yuanhao heard this, he became excited, and handed over his bullets without holding them, and after finishing his work in a hurry, he drove his subordinates out, and hurriedly said: "Tell me quickly, come and listen!" ”

Wang Qiu tidied up his clothes, knelt on the ground in a regular manner, and bowed three times and nine times, shouting: "Weichen knocks to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Li Yuanhao said with a smile: "Hurry up, please get up!" This king has not yet ascended the throne! Are you in a hurry? ”

Wang Qiu: "The minister has received the news that the 200,000 troops of the Liao State have fought with the Song army at Sanguan five days ago, you ...... It's time to ascend the throne! ”

"Good!" Li Yuanhao slammed the table and stood up, and said loudly: "This king has been waiting for this day for many years, and now he has finally waited for this opportunity!" As long as Song Liao started a war, they hoarded those hundreds of thousands of troops, and they would definitely not be able to distinguish the winner in a short period of time. In this way, no one can influence the king to ascend the throne and become the emperor, on the contrary, Song Liao still has to beg the king, it is really thanks to your plan to count birds with one stone! ”

Wang Qiu: "This is what subordinates should do!" ”

Li Yuanhao: "Very good! This king will not forget your merits, and after this king ascends the throne, he will make you the prime minister of my Great Xia Kingdom! ”

Wang Qiu: "Thank you, Shengshanglongen!" Wechen will definitely go to the soup for you, and we will not hesitate! ”

"Hahaha......" Li Yuanhao laughed wildly: "I want to ascend the throne as quickly as possible, Aiqing go and prepare!" ”

Wang Qiu: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

……

Within a few days, Li Yuanhao's envoys set foot on the land of the Song Kingdom, and when they arrived in Kaifeng, it was just when Zhao Zhen feasted his ministers.

Zhao Zhen was still on the first seat, gushing about his self-righteous great speech, and a petty official of the Ministry of Rites quietly came to Sun Fu's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and stuffed something into his hand.

Sun Fu listened to the report of his subordinates, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly looked at the things in his hand again, and couldn't help but stand up and interrupt Zhao Zhen's speech: "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to report!" ”

"Uh......" Zhao Zhen was speechless for a while, and was about to look at who didn't interrupt his aura for a long time, but when he saw that it was "his own person", he had to go around him once, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sun Fu walked to the front of Zhao Zhen with the scroll in his hand: "Back to the emperor, the minister has just received a report from his subordinates, and Li Yuanhao, the king of Xia, has sent a letter of state, wanting to ascend the throne and be the emperor in the spring of the next year, and invite me to go forward to see the ceremony!" ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, his brain was affected by alcohol, and he didn't react for a while, so he folded his fingers and calculated carefully, according to the time he remembered, shouldn't Xixia appear at this time?

When Zhao Zhen was still combing his memory in his mind, Yan Shu quit, stood up and scolded: "Li Yuanhao, this turtle grandson, is against the sky, he actually doesn't take my Great Song Dynasty court in his eyes, and the minister prays to the saint to send troops to exterminate this chaotic minister and thief!" ”

It's no wonder that Yan Shu is angry, no matter what, he is still the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also the prime minister who has been the longest since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

However, on the occasion of the great victory of the Song Liao War, this Xia King, who used to be detached, actually jumped out, isn't this a slap in the face?

Although the king of Xia was also yang and yin to the Great Song Dynasty in the past, some minimum face still had to be given. Since he has already declared himself a minister to the Great Song Dynasty, he is shouting to be the emperor at this time, what kind of trouble is this? Want to rebel?

So, after Yan Shu called, other ministers rose up one after another, clamoring to teach Li Yuanhao a profound lesson. This has to be placed at other times, Zhao Zhen can't ask for it, but at the moment there are a lot of things at this juncture, just after a war, it seems that he should not start a war immediately.

Zhao Zhen waited for everyone to be tired before standing up and said: "I am deeply gratified by the loyalty of all Aiqing, but our banquet today is to celebrate the victory of Sanguan, there is no need to be in a bad mood because of Li Yuanhao, a young man, everyone continues to eat and drink, and other matters will be discussed tomorrow......

Under Zhao Zhen's persuasion, everyone temporarily put aside Li Yuanhao's matter and spent this long night in a strange atmosphere.

……

The next morning, as soon as he went to the court, the ministers who had been held by Zhao Zhen all night under the prodding of Yan Shu, united as one, criticized and wrote, vowing to greet Li Yuanhao's ancestors for eighteen generations. In the final analysis, it is necessary for Zhao Zhen to rise up, not to lose the face of the Great Song Dynasty, and not to let Li Yuanhao, a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, stumble in the west, and must send someone to mess with him.

Zhao Zhen calmly listened to the verbal bombardment of Yan Shu and other ministers, and said calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your feelings very well, and I will tell you the truth, it is not difficult to teach Li Yuanhao a lesson. However, there are many things at the moment, and the smallpox matter has not yet been resolved, and I don't want to make a big revolution at this time. Moreover, in this battle with the Liao State, the consumption of military materials exceeded my budget, and the inventory of the military department was not much, although I had arranged for them to start replenishing the frontier, but it would take a lot of time. However, during this period of time, I need you Aiqing to do one thing, that is, to make the matter of Li Yuanhao's little rabbit cub known to the world, and issue a statement to severely condemn Li Yuanhao's disobedient behavior. ”

Yan Shu looked at Zhao Zhen's weird smile, which was extremely similar to the appearance of the Liao State when he provoked it, and he suddenly understood in his heart that he dared to feel sorry for his little emperor again!

Thinking of this, Yan Shu nodded at Zhao Zhen with understanding: "Your Majesty, leave these little things to the old minister!" The old minister promised to do it properly. ”

Zhao Zhen: "Yan Xiang is doing things, I must be very relieved!" In this way, you will discuss an agenda first, and I still have some things to do, so I will go first! ”

"Congratulations to the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Yan Shu took everyone to send away the mascot of Zhao Zhen, and got together to promote his black and thick learning.

Zhao Zhen put away his smiling expression when he walked out of the Zichen Palace, turned his head to the little Shunzi beside him and ordered: "You immediately go and call Shen Gongbao from the weapons workshop to the Vertical Arch Palace!" ”

Xiao Shunzi: "Yes, Your Majesty!" The little ones are going. ”

Zhao Zhen returned to the vertical arch hall by himself, threw himself on the desk and tossed for a while, and Xiao Shunzi hurriedly ran in with Shen Gongbao.

Shen Gongbao respectfully kowtowed before approaching Zhao Zhen's side and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you have to tell Weichen?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "That's it! I just calculated, judging from the consumption rate of this Song-Liao War, the number of our current arsenals is seriously insufficient, you should hurry up and open a few more weapons workshops, and be sure to increase the annual output of crossbow arrows to five million! ”

Shen Gongbao: "Wechen obeys the order!" Do you have any other commands? ”

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment before continuing: "I still have a top-secret mission for you to do, you must do it yourself, and you can't reveal it to anyone, can you do it?" ”

Click! Shen Gongbao slammed to the ground again: "The minister has today, and he is fully loved by the emperor, as long as he can repay your gift, even if he wants the minister to go to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the minister will not hesitate, you just command!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Very good! I read you right. I have written a secret message, and I will ask Xiao Shunzi to take you to meet Master Zeng Gongliang of the Royal Academy, he has a secret weapon, and I need you to choose a special place to build them. First of all, this weapon is extremely dangerous, and the place where it was manufactured must be kept secret and must not be leaked. In addition, all workers must be strictly screened, and they must not be allowed to get involved. ”

Shen Gongbao: "Please rest assured, the minister knows how to do it, the minister will choose an isolated place, and select someone who has no worries to supplement production, as long as you send someone to strictly guard and not let anyone enter or leave, there will be no news leak." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Okay!" It's up to you to do it! The production of artillery shells should also be expanded, and the annual production will be increased to 10,000 in the next five years. ”

Shen Gongbao: "Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers have written it down. ”

Zhao Zhen: "That's good! You go get busy first! ”

Shen Gongbao: "Wechen retires!" ”

……

Ten days and half a month have passed, and the envoy sent by Li Yuanhao to the Song State has not replied, but Zhi Weizheng, who is resting in Sanguan, has received a new order.

The commanders of the two armies of Di Qing and the Blue Dragon and White Tiger received the summoning order from Zhi Weizheng, and soon rushed over for a meeting, and as soon as Di Qing sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "My lord, what is the big deal today?" ”

"Yes! My lord, what's so good? Is it that the court's reward has come down? The other commanders also chattered and asked questions.

Zhi Weizheng pressed his hand towards everyone and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Everyone be quiet and listen to what the official will tell you." This official has just received the will of the saint, and Li Yuanhao, the king of Xia, took advantage of the war with the Liao State to plot against him, and wanted to call himself the emperor. ”

"My lord, just say that the Holy One wants us to fight! The subordinates ask for a lesson to teach this guy who doesn't know the height of the sky! Di Qing was the first to stand up and respond to the call.

Zhi Weizheng: "General Di, you think too much!" Li Yuanhao, this kid, really needs to be educated, but the saint has his own plans, and he has no intention of sending troops to fight immediately. This is because the Holy Lord sympathizes with everyone's hard work just after the battle, and secondly, because we didn't do things well enough this time, and the only 100,000 Liao troops consumed a full 5 million arrows in our army, and the Holy Lord needs time to fill our gap. And, of course, there was smallpox. The saint has all the opportunities, and he can't take care of Li Yuanhao's kid for the time being.

Therefore, in accordance with the requirements of the Holy Lord, this officer has made the following military arrangements. The White Tiger Legion, led by General Di, was still stationed at Sanguan to strictly prevent the Liao army from counterattacking, and strengthened training, especially shooting rhythm training, to strive to destroy as many enemies as possible with the fewest arrows. The officer led the Qilinwei and the Qinglong Legion to move to the Song-Liao border, strengthening the vigilance and putting pressure on Li Yuanhao, and reorganizing the entire Northwest Army to build the Northwest Field Army. That's the general arrangement, let's go our own way! ”

"Whoa!" Di Qing led everyone to answer. (To be continued.) )
