Chapter 198: The Great Song Dynasty Hundred Officials
Or that many people don't know who Su Shi is at all, and they don't take Su Shi's actions a few years ago seriously.
Zhao Zhen on the dragon chair, dressed in a red robe, opened the battle report very carefully, he was also a little apprehensive at this moment, he didn't know what happened, and asked Huang Gaoyi, the commander, to notify himself in an urgent way of eight hundred miles.
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Zhen finally opened the battle report, and the contents began to enter his eyes one by one.
Needle drops can be heard.
There was not the slightest sound in the entire vertical arch hall, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Zhen's face, changing as his facial expression changed.
It was not as heavy as everyone thought.
Nor did he look as relaxed as everyone thought.
There is no anger or joy, but the expression on his face changes continuously in a very short period of time, which makes everyone even more puzzled.
"Let's circulate it and take a look." After a long time, Zhao Zhen suddenly closed his eyes, and said to Zhang Mao, the lieutenant of the chamberlain, who didn't want to speak.
Carefully stretched out his hands to take the battle report, followed Zhang Mao and walked towards the courtiers under the steps, and the first one was handed to Fan Zhongyan, who was now implementing the new policy and was highly used by Zhao Zhen.
Fan Zhongyan was not the head of the ministers, if it was ordinary, he might still refuse, but now, he was anxious to know what was written in it, so he didn't care about it, so he took the battle report and hurriedly read it.
He also didn't say anything, his expression kept changing, and then he silently handed the battle report to the side.
One by one, the important ministers took over the battle report, and then there was silence, which made the other courtiers who did not see the battle report even more puzzled.
In the past, when the six-hundred-mile war report came, it was either accompanied by the angry scolding of the courtiers or the sound of joy and excitement. How could there have been such a war report, and everyone who watched it did not say a word, what the hell is going on.
After a long time, the battle report was passed from the hands of the important ministers to the hands of those of relatively low rank. Then in the originally silent vertical arch hall, another voice finally came out, "What? It can't be, it's not a mistake. ”
The people who can make such a voice are obviously people who are not high in the city government and still need to be trained.
But after making a sound, the man quickly closed his mouth. This is an eight-hundred-mile urgent war report, there is not enough empirical evidence, who dares to say nonsense?
After the battle report was in everyone's hands, everyone finally understood why no one had made a statement, and it was not that they didn't want to speak and express their attitudes, but they really didn't know what to say.
Tong Zhilang Su Shi, who has been forgotten by most people, really relied on the so-called Su family army recruited with the money earned from business to the Song-Liao border, and also wiped out 600 slave catchers in Western Xia in the first battle there.
It is said that most people have forgotten, that is because there are still people who remember Su Shi, such as the Li family, the Miao family, the Cao family and Pang Ji, etc., they don't have much inventory of goods in their hands, even if they have been limited in purchase, they can't support it for a few months, they are all waiting for Su Shi to come back to replenish the stock to make a lot of money.
There is also Bao Heizi, he likes his nephew very much, and he is afraid that he is also one of the ministers who really cares about Su Shi's safety and does not have any interests.
In addition to them, everyone else naturally forgot to be clean. But it is this forgotten person who surprises, or can be said to be frightened, in the present.
Those who don't know soldiers forget it, but whoever knows soldiers and has commanded soldiers and fought battles, then who doesn't know the power of the Western Xia slave army, that is the elite of the Western Xia army.
If the Great Song Dynasty sent a large army, it would not be difficult to inflict heavy losses on 600 people, but if they wanted to annihilate them all, it would not be so easy. But such a thing was done by a loose official, who was still a young man who was only fifteen years old, a person who could be called a teenager.
What's more, this young man still has leg problems, rumored brain diseases, and he himself is still a very powerful holy hand.
Oh my God, what's going on in this world, and what's going on with all this?
No one questioned the authenticity of this information, and if Huang Gaoyi was not 100% sure and had sufficient evidence, it would be impossible for such information to be sent to the capital.
This shows that everything is true. So if so, how will the imperial court respond?
The Western Xia slave army entered the Song Dynasty to kill and rob the Song people, and they deserved to die. But all of the 600 people died all of a sudden, do you want to give an explanation to Xixia?
Originally, Western Xia was a belligerent country, and they could still find something to do in normal times, but now that such a big handle has fallen into their hands, will they send troops to Song?
Does it indicate that the land to the west is about to be in war again?
Of course, that's not the point, it's important how does the sumite do it?
Just rely on those non-military Su family troops that he recruited with money?
It's just some ordinary young offspring, can they really be transformed into elites under the power of money?
If so, what is the army, which has always been fed by the state? Are they really too incompetent?
How can this make those so-called famous generals embarrassed?
Of course, this is not the most important point, the most important thing is, where is the Su Shi now?
Is it really already in the Liao realm, or has it already returned to the capital?
The latter is naturally easy to say, with him destroying the 600 Western Xia slave capture army, no one will say that he is incompetent. But what about the former?
It's been so long, and what is he doing?
Won't you really kill the Liao realm, and really kill the Liao dog, right?
If it is true, how does the Liao State view this matter, will they think that this is an intentional act of the Great Song Dynasty, and will this affect the relationship between the two countries, or even the sword and soldier meeting?
In the intelligence, Huang Gaoyi said that he wanted to send reinforcements, does this mean that the Song-Liao War is about to begin?
In the time of this meeting, I don't know how many questions have popped up, and together, they are almost able to write 100,000 whys.
That's why everyone saw the battle report, but they didn't make a sound, it's really... I really don't know what to say.
In the silent court, the next step was broken as Renzong Zhao Zhen spoke, "Everyone has read the battle report, now tell me what you think." ”
Su Shi gave Zhao Zhen a feeling of creating miracles, but he also had to admit that Su Shi also gave him a big problem.
It is said that whether Su Shi completely wiped out the Western Xia slave army or entered the Liao Land and began to turn over the river and the sea, it was a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty. The enemy is chaotic, and the enemy's army has suffered losses, which means that the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty has become stronger.
It's just that the premise of all this is that the Great Song itself is strong enough.
Without the backing of a strong country, it is not a good thing for any individual to be strong.
Zhao Zhen obviously knew this, but he still had a hope, that is, borrowing Su Shi to toss outside, would the Great Song Dynasty be able to reap some benefits, and whether he could take the opportunity to send troops to recover some lost territory?
With such an idea, Zhao Zhen asked this sentence. But soon his thoughts were shattered, and the first person to speak was Fan Zhongyan.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is just a joke, and all this is Tong Zhilang's own behavior, and it has nothing to do with our Great Song Dynasty. On this point, we can also send someone to make it clear to Da Liao and Western Xia. ”
Characterize the incident, Fan Zhongyan's intention is already very clear, that is, there must be no war and conflict now, and everything should still be based on the Qingli New Deal.
If these things happen at another time, Fan Zhongyan may hesitate to take advantage of the fire to rob, or even support Su Shi. But now, everything has to make way for the New Deal.
Fan Zhongyan, who was a reformist, spoke, and after him, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Cai Xiang, Wang Su, Yu Jing and others all stepped forward with white jade wat boards to express the same attitude.
Not all of these people have such ideas, but the New Deal is just around the corner, and they have to do it and say it.
A group of officials who supported the new policy stood up, and Zhao Zhen knew that it was impossible to do something about it. Then he looked at the other courtiers, and when he saw that they didn't mean to speak, he asked hopefully, "Do the other Aiqing have different opinions?" ”
Disagreement means that you have other ideas to stand up, if you agree with Fan Zhongyan and others, then don't stand up and speak.
Facing Zhao Zhen's inquiry, most of the other courtiers lowered their heads.
Some of them thought that they should not start a war rashly, which would not be good for their peaceful life.
The battle was won, that was Su Shi's credit, the result of the wise decision of the officials, and it was not of any benefit to them personally. But once defeated, whoever stands up and supports it will have to take the blame in the future.
There are also people who are afraid of Liao and Xia, and they are not optimistic about the Song army in their hearts, so of course they will not stand up and express any different opinions.
There are also people like Zhao Yunrang, who is the great sect and looks at Su Shi unpleasantly, of course he does not support the use of the national army to help Su Shi make contributions.
Like the other Li family, Miao family, Cao family, Pang Ji and others, they don't want to see Su Shi become stronger, so it is not a good thing for their future cooperation.
That is, cooperation, it is necessary to balance the strength of both parties as much as possible, and if one party is too strong, the cooperation will come to an end.
But no matter what, everyone's decision is unanimous, that is, they do not support the use of Su Shi's matter to start a war with Liao and Xia, and they will not help Su Shi and watch him grow and grow.
Fortunately, Su Shi is not isolated among the hundred officials, at least one of them supports him. I saw Bao Heizi standing up with a wat board in his hand, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”
Some people died, but not completely......
