【Continuing to ask for tickets......

Maybe it's because Zhao Zhen not only "pitted" the imperial examination candidates last year, but also cut off the heads of many profiteers and officials who colluded, so he created a lot of "evil", and God wants to teach him a lesson.

Shortly after the New Year, Concubine Li and Empress Dowager Liu passed away one after the other, in this era of filial piety, Zhao Zhen is tantamount to a "big event". For the common people, whether it is sweeping locusts for disaster relief or cracking down on profiteers and corrupt officials, what he did is a matter of applause. But for the existing officials, today's saint is undoubtedly challenging the unspoken rules of this group, although everyone can't do anything to the emperor, but it is very common to scold in private, or spread some gossip.

Zhao Zhen ignored these rumors as always, and sent away the two "mothers" with a heavy heart, in this intrigue and endless deep palace compound, no matter what the purpose, at least Liu E and his biological mother really poured a lot of effort into him, and this kind of family affection made him very comfortable.

After the funeral, the three people who were originally inseparable are now only the youngest Yang Shufei. Due to Liu E's departure, the position of the Queen Mother was vacant, and Zhao Zhen canonized her as the Queen Mother of Baoqing. However, when she was upgraded to Empress Dowager Yang, she lost her partners to play with, and her mood was obviously depressed a lot. Even if Zhang Rou accompanied her as much as possible and took Zhao Zhen to amuse her, Zhao Zhen still felt the loneliness in the old man's heart.

Although Empress Dowager Yang is neither Zhao Zhen's biological mother nor his nominal biological mother, she is actually the most unique one in Zhao Zhen's heart. A person who traveled through with the memories of his previous life, in his childhood in this life, it was this Empress Dowager Yang who really accompanied him to raise him at all times.

The situation of the old man made Zhao Zhen very uncomfortable in his eyes, and this indescribable feeling did not appear even when Liu E and Concubine Li died. To be honest, in Zhao Zhen's opinion, it is not a kind of luck for them that those two old people can die without illness. Loneliness is a kind of torture for the elderly, especially when this loneliness comes from the heart.

At this funeral, Li Yuanhao and Xiao Yunjin of Liao still sent a grand delegation as usual. However, what Zhao Zhen didn't expect was that after the funeral, the Liao delegation actually put forward a proposal to increase the annual currency of the Song Dynasty, the reason was that the Liao State had a drought for two consecutive years, the grain production was reduced, and the people were hungry and clothed.

Not to mention how discordant the tone of the Liao people is, even if it is the threat contained in it, Zhao Zhen can also understand that they are not civilized enough. But this Nima, should you look at people's mood first when you talk to someone? You said that you picked this time to talk about this kind of thing, isn't it unpleasant!

Needless to say, the result of the negotiation was needless to say, and before it was Zhao Zhen's turn to be mad, Sun Fu, the representative of the Ministry of Rites, and Fan Zhongyan, the representative of the Ministry of Households, who were the representatives of the first round of negotiations, refused with righteous words.

And Yang Zongbao, the secretary of the military department who is the leader of the Great Song Dynasty military circles, I don't know where he heard the news, he ran into the palace angrily, rushed to Zhao Zhen and shouted: "Your Majesty, the mother-in-law of the Xiao family in Liao State is too bullying, please allow the old minister to lead the troops to teach them a lesson and teach her how to behave!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly: "Yang Lao is calm, it's not cost-effective to be angry with such a melon woman!" ”

Yang Zongbao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter can't be counted like this!" Lao Chen knows the stinky problems of those Liao people, if you don't beat him, he won't have a long memory, and he will definitely come to find fault. ”

Zhao Zhen: "Don't be impatient!" I have my own plans. You put the news of this negotiation out of the army and see how the soldiers reacted? ”

Yang Zongbao: "Your Majesty, are you worried that the soldiers will not be able to do it?" Then don't worry, the old minister takes the lead, see which of them dares to coax! ”

Zhao Zhen: "Elder Yang, you think about it, of course I believe in my own soldiers, I am just doing this for psychological warfare, and the hatred of the enemy can greatly boost morale, isn't it!" ”

"Hey, hey! The old minister understands, the saint is wise! Yang Zongbao said with a smile.

Zhao Zhen: "By the way, Elder Yang, how did I prepare the military supplies I asked you to prepare last year?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this, I guarantee it!" Yang Zongbao patted his chest and promised: "The equipment of the Blue Dragon Legion that has already formed an army and the second batch of field troops that will be trained immediately have all been delivered, with a total of 130,000 sets of melee equipment, 50,000 sets of crossbows, 15,000 sets of divine arm crossbows, 5,000 bed crossbows, 200 trebuchets, and 5 million crossbow arrows. In addition to equipping them, the remaining part of this equipment is used to replenish battle damage. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "So good!" ”

"Alas!!" Yang Zongbao sighed: "Your Majesty, you don't know! Just to transport these equipment, Lao Chen spent two months, you said that you got this field army is fierce, but this logistical pressure is also very great! ”

"Huh!" Zhao Zhen also smiled: "There are pros and cons to everything!" ”

Yang Zongbao: "Your Majesty, I want the old minister to say!" You don't have to be so cautious at all, with our current 200,000 field troops, we can completely beat the Xiao family's mother-in-law back to her hometown, and you don't need to give them a good face at all! ”

Zhao Zhen: "I believe this!" But war is not an end in itself, war is just a means to gain profits, and it would be great if it could be defeated without a fight. ”

Yang Zongbao: "You! It's still too merciful, just those wolves that can't be fed, it's useless for you to be merciful to them, they will serve the sticks, and they will be honest when they beat them! ”

Is he really merciful? Zhao Zhen was noncommittal about this, hoping that they would think so in the future.

A month later, after Xiao Yunjin of the Liao State heard the report of the Liao State Mission, in front of the little puppet Yelu Zongzhen, he pointed at him while smashing the cup and said: "Your Majesty, look at it, this is the Song Dynasty that you have always boasted that they are very civilized, and you actually did not save it when you saw death, and saw that the people of my Great Liao Kingdom were in hunger and cold. In this kind of court, it's not a fart, and if you look at the mourning family, you should let them see the color and let them know how powerful my Great Liao Kingdom is! Your Majesty, what do you think? ”

"If you think people are bad, why do you wear other people's woolen sweaters! Why wear jewelry made by others! Why read other people's novels! Why are you eating other people's instant noodles......" Yelu Zongzhen complained infinitely in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he respectfully agreed: "Queen Mother, you have the final say!" ”

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, Yelu Zongzhen has learned a lot after being repaired after he had trouble with his mother a few times. Especially some time ago, the second child actually came to tell the truth, saying that his mother wanted to replace himself as the emperor. This made him annoyed and afraid, and at the same time he was determined to find a chance to her and let him know that he was not a vegetarian.

Today, he finally seized this opportunity, since she wants to cause trouble, then add more fire, let her make trouble, and when the trouble is out of control, it is time for herself, the "emperor", to stand up and shout, presumably it is a gathering of servants!

Thinking of this, Yelu Zong really smiled unconsciously!

Xiao Yunjin also smiled, but what she laughed at was that the eldest son in front of her had finally learned to lower his eyebrows and ears, and he no longer dared to make trouble with his mother, and he had a matter on his mind. However, the disobedient ministers outside are still making trouble, and they have to blame the old lady for this natural disaster, saying that it is a problem caused by their own political work.

What the hell is this! The old lady has to come back from the south to get something to shut up the old guys! When the prestige of the old lady is enough, I have to hang up those disobedient guys one by one and dry them into jerky, and then see who dares to go against the old lady!

I heard that there was a female emperor named Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty before, people deserve it, why can't they mourn their family!

Xiao Yunjin, who has lofty ambitions, beat the abacus in his heart, in order to achieve the purpose of "asking" food and materials, and also to gain prestige by brushing up fame. Xiao Yunjin decided to sharpen the knife a little brighter, and sent some people to scare and scare the disobedient little emperor in the south, so that he could obediently hand over some benefits.

Then again, my two children are disobedient, and the child in the south is also disobedient, why are there some disobedient children in this world?

For this esoteric question, Xiao Yunjin thought about it a little, and if he didn't come up with a result, he didn't delve into it. In his opinion, there is nothing more important than his position being secure.

Just when Xiao Yunjin and Zhao Zhen were each pregnant with ghosts and sharpened their knives to pigs and sheep, a series of unexpected things happened on the Song-Liao border.

At first, it was in the easternmost part of the Song-Liao border, near the sea, in the Song-Liao trading inn, and I don't know where a group of Liao people came to make trouble in the store, not only killing a lot of Song people, but also robbing a lot of things. Immediately afterwards, the Song-Liao border seemed to become a battlefield everywhere overnight, and a small stream of Liao people flowed into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, burning and looting when they saw the common people. After finishing, they left a note, saying that they were teaching the disobedient Emperor of the Song State a lesson.

Before the imperial court's interrogation notice was sent, the military directors of various places on the border were already furious, looking at the military information reported from various places, as if they were mocking their own defense line for leaking everywhere. Originally, they were brushed down from the field army screening, which made them very depressed, and there were still people who came to find fault, and the cliff couldn't bear it!

Although the Song Dynasty was dominated by civilians, and the highest officials in various places were in charge of civilian officials, they did not want this kind of problem to occur in their own jurisdictions, and after "careful consideration" of the military attachés' request for war, they made the same instructions: increase vigilance, step up inspections, and annihilate all enemies who cross the border, but they must not cross the border, so as not to cause diplomatic disputes!

This order cut off the hope of revenge for the border army, and they could only scurry around their line like a headless fly, except for a few lucky lucky Liao people who were discouraged, the overall harvest was really small.

And the Blue Dragon Legion and the second batch of field troops that had just completed their training were originally blown by a rumor that came out of nowhere a few days ago, which aroused the little temper in their hearts. One by one, they have just been trained like a devil, and they are venting their worries with a lot of energy, and there are guys who don't have long eyes jumping out, which is great!

Unexpectedly, before the emperor boss on his side spoke, those dead goods jumped out again, and they actually went to their own territory to make trouble, this is called Uncle Bearable, Aunt Unbearable!

With the news of the secret saucers from all over the world, Zhao Zhen was also angry, he slapped the information on the table, and scolded: "Dead mother-in-law, shameless, dare to kill the people of the Great Song Dynasty, I will let you repay it with blood!" ”

The empty hall had no other response except for the sound of Zhao Zhong's fist clenching, and after a while, Zhao Zhen calmed down a little before asking, "What news is there about the secret disc we sent to the Liao State recently?" ”

Zhao Zhong: "Back to the emperor, there have been several frequent movements of the Liao State recently, and they are all the troops that were withdrawn from the Song-Liao border during the original Liao Shengzong period. ”

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath: "So the mother-in-law of the Xiao family has made up her mind, it seems that this war is always inevitable!" ”

Zhao Zhong: "The minister thinks it should have been fought a long time ago, they have occupied our territory for so many years, if it wasn't for the failure of the Northern Expedition that year, how can they be arrogant so far!" ”

"You sort out the information, I'll use it later!" Zhao Zhen said to Zhao Zhong first, and then instructed Xiao Shunzi: "Inform Yan Xiang that a cabinet meeting will be held in Zichen Hall in half an hour!" ”

Zhao Zhong: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Shunzi: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

After the two responded, one faced outwards and the other inward, each doing their own thing. (To be continued.) )
