Zhao Ji's ambition has never been a major secret, but few people really know it.

Even if someone knows about it, it's all very close. Even many important ministers of the court, he did not say it.

Earlier, he was actually not reluctant to say it to others, but after he was severely dissuaded by Fu Bi after he showed a little thought, Zhao Ji understood the thoughts of these old ministers in the court.

They don't recognize their ideals at all, they just blindly stick to their old ways, hoping to stick to the old ways and continue like this.

In their opinion, the little money paid to the Khitan and Western Xia every year is simply a drop in the bucket. It is far more advantageous to use such a small amount of money in exchange for peace on the border than to spend huge military expenditures to maintain the war.

The annual income of the Great Song Dynasty was 50 million guan, and the money used to pay the Liao State and Western Xia was only 7o million guan.

Giving such a small amount of money can avoid a large amount of military spending and manpower attrition, which is more cost-effective in the eyes of these ministers. It's a pity that they only calculated the economic accounts, and who thought about it for the emperor?

In Zhao Ji's opinion, this is a great shame at all!

The dignified Chinese nobles of the Celestial Empire, who thought it was the co-lord of the world, actually needed to spend money every year to buy peace from neighboring countries. What is the difference between this and the police paying protection money to the community?

Zhao Ji would rather die standing than live on his knees like this!

Therefore, after the current conservative ministers had no hope of bringing him the change he wanted, they pinned all their efforts on Wang Anshi's body.

Only Wang Anshi's changes can enrich the country and strengthen the army, and only after the rich country and the army can he sweep away the Western Empire, restore Yanyun, and reshape the prestige of the Central Empire!

Otherwise, even if he envied Tang Taizong to death, he would definitely not be able to achieve a single point and a half of Li Shimin's achievements.

Zhao Ji's thoughts, Wang Anshi is very clear, and because of this, he works harder. Among the old courtiers of the old school, there are also a few people who know about it, but most of them scoff at all.

In their opinion, how could Zhao Ji be compared with Tang Taizong? As for those ambitions, hum, it's just that they are ambitious!

Hearing Ding Yang's question now, Zhao Ji suddenly fell silent.

Ding Yang was not in a hurry, so he looked at the emperor with a smile, drinking tea and eating snacks as usual.

After Zhao Ji looked at it carefully for a while, he finally waved his hand to let the eunuchs and palace maids around him retreat one after another, leaving only 2 henchmen who were close to him, and then said: "What the real person said is good, I don't hide it from the real person, I have really had this mind for a long time." ”

Without waiting for Ding Yang to answer, he said again: "Since the real person asked, there must be a teaching?" ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty is really in a hurry!" Ding Yang took a sip of tea with a smile, to be honest, he was still a little uncomfortable with the group tea in the palace, even now.

However, after removing the extra additives, it is only brewed with boiling water, and the group tea is also quite delicious.

Especially the tea ceremony master who was specially raised in the palace just now made tea, which was indeed an eye-opener for Ding Yang.

After taking a few more sips of tea, seeing that Zhao Ji was a little anxious, Ding Yang said: "I have a way in Kunlun Mountain, not only to cultivate the art of immortality, but also to enrich the country and strengthen the army!" ”

Zhao Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and the heart of this year, who is only 22 years old, still has the impatience of young people: "In this case, please ask a real person for advice!" I don't hesitate to do everything, ask for real people to guide me through the maze! ”

Seeing that Zhao Ji was so serious, Ding Yang finally stopped being as careless as he was just now. He sat up, his face full of seriousness: "Your Majesty has to think about it carefully, if you really want to let Poor Dao make a move, then it will not be the current situation of petty fighting!" ”

Ha? Zhao Ji was directly dumbfounded: Now Wang Anshi's reform has just begun, and it has already made the world boiling. Every day, I don't know how many people are attacking the new law, and they all say that changing the law is to shake the national system and harm the people!

But Ding Yang said that this is still a small fight? Are you kidding!

If Wang Anshi's change is still a small fight, then your big move will be directly earth-shattering!

Suddenly, Zhao Ji was silent. He was also a little scared of being tossed and didn't dare to promise easily.

But looking at Ding Yang Chengzhu's chest, Zhao Ji was a little curious about what big moves he would play!

"What the real person said is too involved, you might as well tell me first, and then it's not too late to make a decision!"

"Good! Thanks to His Majesty's own eyes, he has repeatedly shown kindness, and if he has no size, he will be deserved. Dare to ask Your Majesty today, how far do you want Da Song to be satisfied? ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment.

He had thought about the future of the Great Song Dynasty, but all of them were relatively vague goals, and he really didn't think about the details.

Sweep away the West Capture? Restore Yanyun?

These two problems almost have to be solved, and what to do after they are done? It doesn't seem like there's any specific goal!

Could it be said that after sweeping away the Western Xia and defeating the Liao State, the world will be peaceful and everything will be worry-free?

With this achievement alone, can it be compared to the idol Tang Taizong Li Shimin?

At that time, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, not only created a prosperous era of Zhenguan, but also invincible, swept the north and south of the grassland, and even went to the desert to conquer the ministers.

That was a Tang Empire, and it was called the Heavenly Khan by the whole world!

The Turks, Xianbei, and Uighurs were all beaten to pieces, and only the Tibetans were strong and worthy of the Tang army.

To achieve the achievements of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it is obviously not enough to sweep away Western Xia and defeat the Liao State to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun! So what do we need to do in the future?

Just when Zhao Ji was full of question marks, suddenly a huge map appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the territory of the second year of the General Chapter of Tang Gaozong." What appeared in front of Zhao's eyes was an enlarged map with colors that specifically depicted the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

It's not that Zhao Ji hasn't seen a map, but he has never seen such an accurate and colorful map.

With the current state of technology, it is simply impossible to produce such a large and comprehensive map. It's all some local maps, and it's not up to the level of what is in front of you.

This is the first time that Zhao Ji has seen such a huge map, which covers the whole territory.

And Ding Yang was still commenting on the side: "...... In the second year of the Zhenguan reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the two heroes of the Sui Dynasty were basically flattened, and the Tang Dynasty was restored to unity. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty was broken; In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Gaochang was destroyed; Zhenguan for 20 years, broke Xue Yantuo; In the first year of Gaozong Yonghui, he captured the Turkic Chebi Khan; In the second year of Gaozong's reign, he broke the Western Turks; In the fifth year of Hyeongyeong, he defeated Baekje; In the second year of Gaozong Longshuo, he broke Tiele and determined the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains; In the second year of the general chapter of Gojong, he defeated Goryeo...... This map is the territorial outline of the Tang Dynasty in the second year of the general chapter! ”

Before Zhao Ji finished his exclamation, Ding Yang took out another map and stretched it out in front of the emperor: "This is the map of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty, the size of the territory, Your Majesty can compare the territory of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
