After Ouyang Wanling came to the other courtyard, Zhao Yan thought that she could accompany each other more, which would also make her recover faster, but she didn't expect that Cao Ying, Princess Bao'an, and Princess Shoukang also wanted to make up for their own mistakes, so since Ouyang Wanling came, she was almost taken care of in every detail, and even Ouyang Wanling herself was a little embarrassed, and in this way, Zhao Yan had almost no time to be alone with Ouyang Wanling, which made Ouyang Wanling show a bit of resentment in her eyes every time she saw Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan couldn't do anything about it, because his relationship with Ouyang Wanling was originally a confused account, and Cao Ying and the three of them were even more involved, and even in essence, Ouyang Wanling was actually in love with Zhao Yan and Cao Ying, and Zhao Yan was the last to join in, and thanks to his gender advantage, Ouyang Wanling finally cheapened him.

After getting up this morning, Zhao Yan drew a portrait of Ouyang Wanling from memory, and then asked the little bean sprouts to send it over, and asked the other party to go out to play, but the little bean sprouts came back and reported that Ouyang Wanling was very happy after seeing the portrait, but unfortunately today she had made an appointment with Princess Bao'an to fly a kite, and Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang and Yelusi also wanted to go together, so I could only say sorry to Zhao Yan.

Regarding Ouyang Wanling's reply, Zhao Yan could only sigh, and then went to Xue Ning'er to play with his daughter for a while, and wanted to go to the military academy next, but he suddenly thought of something, so he immediately asked people to prepare a car to go to Tokyo City, and then entered the palace to see Zhao Shu.

Zhao Yan was not in the Great Song Dynasty for a year, and the situation in the court also changed a lot, when he left, the power struggle between Zhao Shu and the Empress Dowager Cao was at its most intense, the Empress Dowager Cao was determined not to let go of power, but Zhao Shu was desperately trying to get back the power that belonged to him. As a result, the court was also stormy, and even Zhao Yan warned Zhao Yan not to get involved.

However, a year has passed, and the power struggle between Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Shu has finally come to an end, and the matter was resolved as in history, and finally Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu entered the palace to explain to Empress Dowager Cao, and finally let the somewhat stubborn Empress Dowager let go of the power in her hands. From this point of view. Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan were very lucky, because they avoided this time in the Liao Kingdom, and they didn't have to stay in the capital to be afraid.

Zhao Shu's body was originally sick, after Empress Dowager Cao released power, he was usually busy several times, and many people were worried about his body, but what everyone didn't expect was that Zhao Shu's body was like a day by day, and now he has basically recovered into a normal person. It is estimated that this is also related to the fact that he was in a happy mood after getting the power.

Zhao Yan came to the palace and soon saw Zhao Shu in the vertical arch hall, only to see the other party sitting behind the dragon case full of folds, was reviewing the folds, and saw that Zhao Yan came in and did not stop, and said to Zhao Yan while watching the folds: "Yan'er, your grounding is not over yet, although Zongzheng Temple turns a blind eye to your affairs, but you can't be too laissez-faire." If too many people see you running around, maybe they'll play you again. ”

"Hey, hey. Qi Qi to the emperor, the son has something important to come to visit the emperor, otherwise I also want to rest at home for a few more days. Zhao Yan said with a smile, if it wasn't for Zhao Shu's reminder, he would have forgotten that he was still in the grounding period.

"Oh? But what's wrong with the military school? Hearing Zhao Yan say this, Zhao Shu immediately put down the song and asked with a concerned face. He is also very clear about Zhao Yan's going to the military academy, and he can let Zhao Yan come to see him on purpose, I'm afraid it is only the matter of the military academy.

"Father, it is true that there is something to do with the military school, but there is no problem with the management of the military school. Zhang Zai and Yang Huaiyu are both talents, and now that the military academy is on the right track, the next thing is to look at the students' expressions, but I heard from them that the imperial court is going to use it for Western Xia, and my eldest brother also mentioned this matter to me before, but they are all vague, so the retainer wants to ask his father what the imperial court plans for Western Xia? "Zhao Yan had thought about Xixia before, so he specially came to Zhao Shu to inquire about the situation.

Zhao Shu heard Zhao Yan ask about Xixia, but suddenly laughed, and then picked up a copy from the fold in front of him and handed it to Zhao Yan and said: "It's really a coincidence, this is the secret report that the Imperial City Division just sent back from Xixia today, and you are the third person to see it." ”

Zhao Yan also hurriedly picked up the secret report and looked at it when he heard this, but now this secret report is very sloppy, and the writing is not smooth, at first glance, it is written by a person who is coarse and ink, but this is also right for Zhao Yan's appetite, if it is written in crepe, he can't understand it.

After Zhao Yan read this secret report from beginning to end, his face also showed a look of surprise and joy, there is not much content on this secret report, mainly to introduce some recent trends in the Western Xia, such as the mobilization of the army, the transportation of grain and grass, etc., Zhao Yan was still a little confused at first, but at the end of the secret report said that now all kinds of signs in the Western Xia indicate that the other party is likely to be preparing for a war, and this time the target is not the Great Song Dynasty, but the Liao State that is in rebellion.

"Western Xia actually wants to use troops against Liao, is this news reliable?" Zhao Yan said in disbelief at this time, Originally, the Great Song Dynasty was preparing to use troops against Western Xia, but he didn't expect Western Xia to make a move against Liao, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Haha, the source of this news is very reliable, Li Liangzuo, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, is indeed ready to make a move against the Liao State, in fact, the Western Xia has also endured the Liao State for many years, and it is not easy for the Liang Zuo to endure it until now." Zhao Shu laughed and said, first the internal strife in Liao, and then the Western Xia was preparing to use troops against the Liao State, he felt that he was really lucky, if he could grasp this opportunity, maybe he could really destroy the Western Xia in one fell swoop.

"Didn't the Liao State always support the Western Xia to harass our Great Song Dynasty, why did my father say that the Western Xia had endured the Liao State for many years?" Zhao Yan asked a little puzzled at this time, although he was smart, but at this time he exposed his shortcomings in politics, especially for the relationship between the Song, Liao, and Xia Kingdoms, and his understanding was very shallow.

"This is where Yan'er is not as good as your eldest brother, you will have time to read more books in the future!" Hearing Zhao Yan's question, Zhao Shu smiled and taught a lesson, and then briefly introduced the dirty relationship between Western Xia and Liao.

The process of the rise of the Western Xia was actually very difficult, Li Yuanhao not only fought with the Great Song Dynasty, but even broke out several wars with the Liao State, although the Western Xia was weak at that time, but the army burst out with incomparably strong combat effectiveness, and the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State were defeated, and the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State also needed the Western Xia to contain each other, which allowed the Western Xia to survive in the gap between the two countries, but the struggle between the three kingdoms never stopped.

After the death of Li Yuanhao, Li Liangzuo, who was less than one year old, took over as the lord of the Western Xia, when all the power of the Western Xia was held by Li Liangzuo's uncle who did not hide the false Pang, the Liao State in order to avenge the shame of the defeat of the year, did not recognize Li Liangzuo's position as the lord of the country, and also sent troops to attack the Western Xia, the result of the defeat of the Western Xia, the Liao army at that time had attacked the Western Xia capital around Xingqing Mansion, and also plundered the troops, even the largest granary of the Liao State was broken, it can be said that the Western Xia was a complete defeat this time.

In this situation of almost being annihilated, Li Liangzuo's uncle did not hide Pang sent envoys to the Liao State to ask for peace, and finally called the vassal and the vassal, but unfortunately the revengeful Liao State did not pay attention to it at all, and still arranged heavy troops on the border of the Western Xia, which greatly shocked the Western Xia, and in the next ten years, almost every year to the Liao State to submit the seal, tribute, sacrifice of horses and camels, etc., it can be said that it is extremely flattering.

However, as Li Liangzuo grew up slowly, and after killing his uncle a few years ago, Li Liangzuo also grasped the power of the Western Xia, and at the same time made a series of reforms to the Western Xia court, which gradually restored the national strength of the Western Xia. It is also with the increase of national strength that the attitude of the Western Xia towards the Great Song and the Liao State has gradually hardened, for example, since Zhao Shu ascended the throne, the Western Xia has sent troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty almost every year, but while fighting against the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia has been sending envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to try to maintain the relationship between the two countries.

In contrast, Li Liangzuo hated the Liao State very much, especially after he had just succeeded to the throne, the Liao State soldiers looted around Xingqing Mansion, which made him regard it as a great shame in this life, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to be ashamed, but unfortunately the Liao State was not the Great Song Dynasty, and he had never dared to use troops against the Liao State, and even paid tribute to the Liao State every year to maintain the relationship between the two countries.

"It is precisely because of this that after seeing the civil strife in Liao, it is not surprising that Li Liangzuo is ready to use troops in Liao, after all, Western Xia is originally predatory, and if they fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will put down their bodies and call them ministers, which is simply too normal for them." Finally, Zhao Shu opened his mouth and concluded.

"I see, I didn't expect that the Liao State almost destroyed the Western Xia before, I heard that Li Liangzuo is a high-minded and arrogant person, so naturally he won't bear this breath, but if the Western Xia uses troops against the Liao State, our Great Song will have a chance." Zhao Yan also nodded at this time, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

However, as soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, he saw Zhao Shu shaking his head and laughing: "Yan'er, what you think is too simple, even if the Western Xia uses troops against the Liao State, I am afraid that it will also arrange heavy troops on the border of our Great Song Dynasty, and it is definitely not a good time for us to attack the Western Xia, so for our Great Song Dynasty, the best way is to wait, and when the war between the Western Xia and the Liao State is over, no matter what the outcome of the war, the Western Xia will definitely have losses, and the border defense will also be relaxed, and then it will be a good opportunity for us to send troops." ”

"I see, Erchen understands!" Zhao Yan also immediately bowed down and said, Xixia is not a fool, sending troops to the Liao State will definitely guard against the Great Song Dynasty, and even if the Great Song Dynasty sends troops at that time, Li Liangzuo is likely to turn his head and go all out to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, which will be a great help to the Liao State.

Seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, Zhao Shu also nodded with satisfaction, but then he thought of one more thing, and said with a frown: "Yan'er, there was something wrong with the ordnance supervisor yesterday, it seems that it is still about gunpowder, you have time to take a look!"
