Chapter 7: The Storm of Pro-Conquest

The next day, Chai Rong summoned all the ministers to the early court, and the young Zhao Xu was fortunate enough to participate in this court meeting, which was specially approved by the emperor. ()

Everyone looked at this young man who didn't talk to him, and didn't know why he had let him come here.

Zhao Xu, who first participated in the "Supreme State Council", was a little uncomfortable, after all, he had never experienced such a big formation, and he was a little apprehensive.

These people are all members of the "political and governance bureau" of Da Zhou, and they did not expect that they would have the honor to attend such a meeting this time.

The civil and military officials have basically arrived, and the people who know each other well are all talking to each other together, and it seems that they already know what is going to happen next.

With the arrival of His Majesty, all the officials knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted long live.

"All Aiqing, flat, there is one thing in the early dynasty today, that is, how to deal with the invasion of the Northern Han and Khitan, what do you think?" Chai Rong is worthy of a generation of masters, without a polite word.

The people below looked at each other, Zhao Xu wanted to say something, but he knew that this occasion was not a place for him to be presumptuous, so he honestly stood at the end of the hundred officials.

None of the hundred officials below stood up first, Feng Dao, who was at the head of the civil officials, stood up from his seat, and at this time, the respected old minister was gifted by the emperor to be able to sit down in the court hall to show the emperor's grace.

Zhao Xu glanced at this famous tumbler in history, but he didn't see anything special, but such a person is the most terrifying.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the Northern Han Dynasty has invaded my country's territory for no reason and killed my general, and my Great Zhou will definitely attack with a large army, showing the prestige of my Great Zhou."

"The prime minister is right, the ministers will reconsider."

"Minister's Reconsideration"

"The minister also reconsiders".

A group of Wenchen looked at their old boss and spoke, all of them enthusiastically supporting.

It's really unexpected, there are a lot of sycophants in this era, and the people below don't dare to squeak if the boss doesn't speak.

The general's side is even more warlike:

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to raise elite soldiers, go to the northern frontier, and fight to the death with the Northern Han." This is Zhang Yongde, the commander of the forbidden army, and also Chai Rong's cousin-in-law.

Han Tong and the others didn't dare to lag behind, and they all shouted to go, who knew that Chai Rong was expressionless, but the ministers didn't know why.

No matter when the generals are belligerent, the country's military strength will definitely not be weak, no matter how strong the economic strength is, the spineless generals will die wildly, isn't this the case in the Song Dynasty?

Everyone was arguing, but Zhao Xu was thinking about other things.

Only Zhao Xu understood in his heart that Chai Rong wanted to drive the expedition in person, but unfortunately the ministers didn't think about it.

"Silence." With Chai Rong's scolding, the entire court instantly fell silent, and the emperor who looked at him didn't know what to say.

"All the ministers are my ministers of the Great Zhou, but this time I want to drive the expedition in person." Chai Rong was resolute when he said this.

When Feng Dao heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground:

"Your Majesty thinks twice, now that I have a large number of generals, Your Majesty does not need to personally lead a large army to conquer in person, you can send a general to the front line."

Feng Dao's proposal was approved by everyone.

In fact, what Feng Dao wanted to say in his heart was; Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, and the people's hearts are still unstable, so you should not easily lead the troops out to avoid accidents.

Besides, even though Your Majesty has the ability to govern the country, his ability to command troops may not be as good as that of a general in a hundred battles.

Chai Rong looked at these old ministers in the court, these are all old ministers from the time of Taizu, and they haven't really worked for themselves, they are serving Taizu, or bullying me young.

Think about it, Chai Rong is just Guo Wei's adopted son, your Guo Wei's nephew, if it weren't for Guo Wei's heirs all being killed in the rebellion, there would be no Chai Rong as the emperor.

It is said that at this time, Guo Wei's son-in-law Zhang Yongde and Guo Wei's nephew Li Chongjin in the court were both eyeing Chai Rong's position.

"I accept the orders of heaven and the great unification, and I don't want the Northern Han to take advantage of the national mourning of my Great Zhou to invade my country and ignore my Great Zhou hero, which is a contempt for my Taizu.

He Liu Chongding thought that I was young and ignorant, and I had made up my mind, so I was caught off guard and killed him. ”

This time, the ministers understood that the new emperor wanted to establish his authority, and the young emperor began to want to have his own team.

But this Feng Dao seemed to pretend not to know, and he still persuaded the emperor not to go to the expedition in person, vaguely saying that the emperor was young, which strengthened the emperor's determination to conquer in person.

The whole court was buzzing and discussing, and Chai Rong was also a little impatient.

Zhao Xu, who was standing at the end of the shift, stood up at this time, and he seemed a little abrupt at this time.

"The subordinate has something to say, and the subordinate wants to tell a story to His Majesty." Zhao Xu, who was kneeling on the ground, said slowly.

The court, which was originally a little noisy, immediately quieted down, looking at this young stunned young man, what are you doing jumping out at this time.

There are also people who don't know Zhao Xu, who is guessing who this guy is, he has not seen it before, and he is still standing at the end of the hundred officials.

Chai Rong took a look, isn't this Zhao Xu, yes, yes, he asked him to attend the court meeting, his brother is not qualified to participate in the court politics now, but his son is in the court, which is really funny.

"Well, Zhao Xu, get up and talk back, I really want to hear what story you can tell." To be honest, Chai Rong still admires this young nephew.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. The minister tells the story of the minister's childhood. ”

At this time, 100,000 grass and mud horses galloped over in the hearts of hundreds of officials: "Damn, what are you doing telling your kid a story at this time?" ”

Zhao Xu really didn't look at the reaction of the ministers:

"When I was a child, I was a restless child, and I always liked to fight with other children, whether it was younger than me or older than me, I was not afraid."

When I was a child, I was fighting and bickering, and some of the people present still showed nostalgic expressions, it seems that this thing was also a restless lord when he was a child.

"I am not afraid of a child who is younger than me, because my strength is greater than his, but I am a little afraid of being older than me."

"Hahaha." Everyone in the court laughed, and even Chai Rong couldn't help laughing. This guy is also a bully who is afraid of the hard.

"But at this time, if the minister's relatives are next to me, I will feel all the strength in my body, and I will knock down the children who are older than me."

"What the minister said to His Majesty is that ordinary people's children still need to find a backer when they fight, let alone a military affair? If the emperor can drive the expedition in person, it will definitely bring great encouragement to the soldiers in the frontier, it must be a great earthquake in the period, and he will definitely be invincible when the time comes. ”

The ministers only now understood why this guy told the story of his childhood, and before he could say anything, Sejong spoke.

"Okay, Zhao Xu, your story is good, although it is not in the stream, but the reason is clear, I just want to inspire the soldiers on the front line, I have made up my mind, and I don't need to discuss it again."

Zhang Dejun drafted the order: "In front of the palace, Zhang Yongde was inspected, and the forbidden army was led to follow me on the expedition, and Li Chongzan was the commander of the horse army in Hedong Road, and the guard of the horse army was the Marquis Yu Li Chongjin to lead the left army. ”

"Ordered the Ma army to command Fan Aineng to lead the Wuding Jiedu envoy, and the infantry army to command He Hui to lead the Zhaowu Jiedu envoy to the north with me. The affairs of the imperial court were handled by Feng Xiang, and Han Tong stayed behind for the Great Liang, and from then on, the army and the people prepared for the northern expedition. Retreat. ”

In this way, Chai Rong successfully set the order for the Northern Expedition, and everyone looked at this little student who jumped out in amazement, and seemed to have an understanding.

It seems that this little guy will definitely rise to prominence in the future, and everyone's mind is different.

Chai Rong has already decided to drive the expedition in person, and the holy decree has also been issued, but there are still people who still have to write to admonish, and when Chai Rong received this advice, he was already halfway through.

What made Chai Rong angry was that this person was his cronie, and he was also Zhao Chao, who was recruited with the army this time.

When Zhao Chao established the Zhou Dynasty by Taizu Guo Wei, he was appointed as the deputy envoy of the workshop. When Murong Yanchao rebelled in Yanzhou, he appointed him as the capital supervisor of the Xingying Infantry Army.

Later, Yanzhou was pacified, and he was transferred to the workshop. Later, he followed Chai Rong, who was still the king of Jin at the time, and had many military achievements.

Later, Chai Rong ascended the throne and appointed him as the commander of the left chamber of the control crane and the assassin of Hezhou. It's a great grace.

This time, Chai Rong drove the expedition in person, and reappointed him as the commander of the right wing of Hujie, the commander of the Benzhou regiment and the commander of the battalion infantry army, which shows the emperor's trust in him.

But at this time, it wrote to persuade the emperor not to levy in person, which was really unexpected, and it made Chai Rong even more angry.

It turned out that the spies in Daliang City had sent news that Feng Dao and other ministers had secretly written a letter to Zhao Chao, presumably to persuade His Majesty to return to Beijing, and if necessary, some extreme measures could be used.

It's not terrible, I'm afraid that **** is educated, the most feared thing in the period of the Five Dynasties is that the martial arts are in power, and what the emperor is most afraid of is the collusion between the civil servants and the martial arts.

Feng Dao and others and Zhao Chao committed the emperor's taboo this time, and Zhao Chao had something to do with Chai Rong's cronies, which made Chai Rong even more angry.

Immediately issued an edict to remove Zhao Chao from all his posts and put him in prison, and all his posts were temporarily replaced by the heads of the eastern and western classes.

Zhao Xu took a breath of relief, and Zhao Chao in history was dismissed because of Chai Rong's personal expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty. But the only surprise was that Zhao Kuangyin took his place.

What made Zhao Xu even more unaware was that Zhao Chao hanged himself in prison not long after he was imprisoned by Chai Rong in Bingzhou, which is a later story.

Chai Rong's order caused an uproar in the court, and everyone didn't dare to talk about Chai Rong's royal conquest, after all, no one wanted to throw away their black yarn hat for no reason.

Besides, the emperor has already reached the halfway point, and besides, what's the use, it's better to prepare for the war conscientiously.

Besides, Zhao Chao was dismissed by Chai Rong and imprisoned in Bingzhou Prison for reflection, but not long after he entered, a few people with cloaks came in.

"The Lord is very dissatisfied with your action, it seems that Chai Rong has noticed it, you can go with confidence, your family is waiting for you below."

After saying that, several people behind him had quickly stepped forward and strangled Zhao Chao's neck with a rope, and Zhao Chao, who was constantly struggling, quickly stopped struggling, staring at the boss.

"Hang him up and make it a scene of suicide in fear of crime, this waste is innocent, it seems that the lord's plan is going to be postponed this time, but unfortunately Zhao Kuangyin is the commander, he is Chai Rong's brother-in-law, we can't win it."

After saying that, several people quickly disappeared at the end of the prison, and not a single soldier appeared from beginning to end, and no one noticed these people.

These are things that Chai Rong and the others don't know, and he is still on the way to the pro-conquest.
