If he was just in a hurry, Wen Yanbo should have returned to Beijing. But this time he completed the truce with Western Xia, which made him feel that he had done a big thing, and on the way back, he was unhurried, and stopped when he met the city, as if he wanted to make his exploits known to everyone in the world.

Longtu Pavilion.

Zhao Zhen was on top of him, and when he didn't see Wen Yanbo's shadow in the crowd, the emperor, who was all angry, said, "Someone went to inform him and asked him to return to Jingshi quickly."

It was him who was used, and he was not named, but smart people knew who Zhao Zhen was referring to.

Zhang Mao, the lieutenant on the side, immediately agreed, and then called Xiao Huangmen and quietly arranged.

Zhao Zhen came up and made such a play, and the atmosphere in the hall became even more tense.

"Let's talk about it, the 100,000 reinforcements of the Western Army are under siege, do the Aiqing have a good plan?"

As Su Shi spoke, his eyes first fell on the privy envoy Yan Shu.

In the current Great Song Dynasty, there are a total of three privy envoys, namely Wang Deyong, Chen Zhizhong and Yan Shu.

Those two, one is in the north and the other is in the west, and Yan Shu is the only one who stays in the Jingshi, so if something happens, he will naturally look for him.

"The minister is incompetent."

Feeling Zhao Zhen's unkind gaze, Yan Shu knew that he couldn't hide this time. This took the initiative to stand up.

didn't find any reason for himself, he directly put the white jade board in his hand on the ground, and then took the initiative to take off his official hat and knelt on the ground, "The old minister is incompetent, which caused the battle situation to deteriorate for a while, and the minister asks Your Majesty to punish him."

Even the official hat has been taken off, which is what it means to resign.

He also expressed his willingness to take responsibility for the disadvantage of this war.

It is also said that the successive failures have caused many people to be dissatisfied. If Yan Shu doesn't take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility, once everyone starts to impeach him, it will be impossible to get out of it at that time.

Yan Shu knelt on the ground, and the moment he took off his official hat, it seemed that the whole person was much older.

Among the courtiers, Fu Bi looked at the old father-in-law kneeling on the ground like this, and his mood was a little heavy.

For various reasons, Fu Bi was not implicated in the failure of the implementation of the New Deal as in history, and was demoted from the capital, and it took some time for him to make a comeback.

On the contrary, he unconsciously got into a relationship with Su Shi, and his official position increased instead of decreasing, and he became one of the governors of political affairs, and he held a lot of authority.

It is said that he and Su Shi are on the same station line and have become a member of the so-called Jingwang family, what he should do is to pull his old father-in-law to this side.

But in politics, things are never so simple.

Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, the three brothers of the Zhuge clan voted for the Wei, Shu, and Wu families respectively.

It seems that their brothers have chosen different choices and become enemies, but who can say that they are wrong?

The three brothers choose three families, so that no matter who wins or loses in the end, they can ensure that the interests of the Zhuge family will not be violated.

Yan Shu and Fu Bi are the same.

Although they are sons-in-law, they choose to be different, which can also ensure that their family will prosper for a long time.

Yan Shu knelt down and pleaded guilty and resigned.

Zhao Zhen's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but he soon became firm.

Since Su Shi went to the north and defeated Mengqi and Western Xia in a row, these civil servants began to envy, jealousy, and hatred.

For fear that others will steal the limelight, they are often faint.

So much so that Su Shi was forced away, making the battle situation in the west of the northern border more and more tense.

Well, now it's not enough to not even affect the unfavorable situation in the north, but also to put the 100,000 troops of the Western Army into it, which is in danger of losing the country.

At this time, Zhao Zhen couldn't let them come nonsense, otherwise, he would have to move the capital next.

"Spread the decree, dismiss Yan Shu Tongping Zhangshi and privy envoy, and go back to the house to recuperate."

For the stability of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and directly took all of Yan Shu's positions together.

"The old minister bowed to the emperor." Yan Shu seems to have been prepared.

Hearing the words that Ke Anran would return home, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then kowtowed three more times, and then slowly got up and walked towards the outside of Longtu Pavilion.

At this time, no matter how you look at it, his departing back is a little depressed and lonely.

Yan Shu took the initiative to bear all the responsibility, and the emperor allowed him to resign and leave without further investigation, which was the best result.

With his actions today, or the act of carrying the black pot for others, other courtiers in the future will remember this friendship and take more care of his descendants, which is also to seek benevolence.

Yan Shu left, and the previous thing was an end. But the matter is not over, the 100,000 western army is still under siege, if the imperial court cannot send reinforcements immediately, I am afraid that these 100,000 people will be in danger.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who is willing to lead an army to support the northern border and pacify the troubles of the three clans?"

Zhao Zhen spoke again, without asking everyone what they meant, but directly said that he would send reinforcements, obviously, Zhao Zhen wanted to make his own decisions, not to discuss with others.

Zhao Zhen of this meeting is strong. But none of the ministers had an opinion.

Who made them always make mistakes before, but now things are getting bigger and bigger, and the situation is becoming more and more dangerous, and the officials are willing to take over, which is still what everyone expects.

recognized Zhao Zhen's words, but when it came to who led the troops, they became dumb again.

When Su Shi had the advantage before, he wanted to send ministers to the north, and everyone was still passing the buck to each other, not to mention that the situation was so tense and unfavorable now.

It's not good to get one, whoever goes to the north now will have no bones left, and they will have to bear the infamy of the defeated general, then at this time, who is willing to take the initiative to stand up.

In the main hall, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and no one has the meaning to speak.

The performance of the ministers fell in Zhao Zhen's eyes, which made him a little disappointed.

Is this the minister who usually talks eloquently and serves the country loyally?

Usually it's fine, it's all about taking the initiative, and I can't wait to take out my heart to show myself.

But now, the situation is critical, and one by one they begin to hold their tails between their legs and become dumb. Are they up to the task? Can such a person entrust himself to reuse?

When the disappointment in Zhao Zhen's eyes became heavier and heavier, there were still people among the courtiers who moved, and Bao Zheng and Bao Heizi stood up.

"Chen Bao Zheng is willing to lead troops to reinforce the northern border, calm the troubles of the three clans, share the worries for His Majesty, and do his best for the Great Song Dynasty."

Bao Zheng stood up and said in a high-pitched voice.

Just now, it was not that he didn't want to stand up for the first time, but he wanted to observe everyone first, see what kind of faces these colleagues were, and also give the officials a chance to see their courtiers clearly.

After waiting for a while, he didn't see anyone else standing up, so he took a step forward and became the only one who volunteered.

Finally, someone can stand up, Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng with affection, even like.

This couldn't help but make Bao Heizi shiver.

How can officials look at themselves with such eyes, do they have any special hobbies?

But he didn't, he was a pure man.

"Okay."

Just when Bao Zheng was still thinking about something, Zhao Zhen on the dragon chair was very satisfied, and he rarely gave a cheer. "There is a minister like Xiren, and I am very relieved and relieved. Come, how many reinforcements does Aiqing want, and I can pull out your 150,000 forbidden troops, are you still satisfied?"

The opening was half of the number of forbidden troops, 150,000 people, which really frightened the other courtiers.

Everyone didn't expect that Zhao Zhen would have such courage to send 150,000 reinforcements, and he was still the most elite forbidden army. If they had known so, they could have stepped forward.

Zhao Zhen will mention the 150,000 forbidden army as soon as he opens his mouth, and it is also because he sees the difficulties of the battle in the north, for fear that if there are fewer reinforcements sent, it will really become a refueling tactic.

Although with the current strength of the Great Song Dynasty, he will not be afraid of any family. But this time it was the three clans that he was facing.

The strength of the Three Clans Alliance is not comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty now.

Even the three tribes

It is not impossible to be concentric, even if the Great Song Dynasty is destroyed.

In order not to let the situation continue to deteriorate, Zhao Zhen also made a bloody investment, and opened his mouth to be half of the number of forbidden troops, which is enough to prove that this time he is really angry and angry.

is also bent on turning the tide of the war.

Zhao Zhen made enough money, which also frightened Bao Zheng, who stood up.

He didn't expect that the official family would spend such a big amount of money, and at this moment, he wanted to agree to it.

It's just that last night, Su Shi's housekeeper Zhou Quan suddenly appeared in his house and handed over the letter, he still decided to refuse.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust, but you're just a thief, and it's not time to use the forbidden army. The minister does not need a soldier or a horse from the court, but only needs His Majesty to give the minister the right to recruit troops in the north. At the same time, the minister also advised himself to take the post of general of Peking University, and had full authority to deal with the war in the north, and asked His Majesty for his permission."

"What?"

Bao Zheng's words immediately caused an uproar among the ministers.

If Zhao Zhen's decision has shocked everyone, Bao Zheng's words are completely beyond everyone's imagination.

The official family has decided to pull out your most elite 150,000 forbidden troops, and this is a great opportunity. With heavy troops in hand, as long as you fight steadily and steadily, and you are not a fool, it is possible to solve the rebellion in the north, and at least it can be on a par with the three clans.

But such a good opportunity, Bao Zheng didn't want it.

Not only that, but I don't want a single reinforcement from the imperial court.

What kind of thief?

Could it be that Bao Zheng is sick and confused.

At this moment, the meeting has been held until now, everyone is surprised, and many people can't help but let out a sound of surprise regardless of etiquette.

But at this time, no one went to punish the crime, because Zhao Zhen was also shocked at this moment.

Zhao Zhen didn't want to move the capital, so he thought about taking a gamble.

Send 150,000 forbidden troops to the battle. If they went to the battlefield and were still defeated, they still had 150,000 forbidden troops in their hands at that time, plus tens of thousands of reserve forbidden troops, even if they really had to move the capital to the south, they could still stabilize the overall situation.

He was about to let go, but Bao Zheng refused.

Also, he didn't want a single soldier of his own, what the hell is this?

thought that he had heard it wrong, but after seeing the ministers with such amazed expressions, Zhao Zhen knew that it was not that he had heard it wrong, but that Bao Zheng really said so.
