I studied in modern times

Chapter 22

Today's breakfast is still rich.

The cheese is sweet and the egg porridge is thick and delicious.

After Zhao Xu finished eating, he wiped his mouth clean under the service of the maid.

"Feng Jing!" Zhao Xu suddenly remembered something and asked, "What day is today?"

"His Royal Highness, today is Wuzi, February 24!" Feng Jing replied.

"It's the 24th!" Zhao Xu whispered, "It's been eight days!"

It has been eight days since I returned to my youth.

There were only five days left before he was confirmed as the crown prince, and only ten days left before the death of his father.

Zhao Xu's mood suddenly became heavy.

He looked in the direction of Funing Hall, and he knew that his father's body was deteriorating day by day.

Now, I am afraid that there is only less than one hour of waking up every day.

That is, to remain sane and to respond to external sounds.

But Zhao Xu can only sit in this Qingning Palace, and can only be here, waiting for the fateful day to come.

Just like in his last life.

But, different from his last life, now Zhao Xu is very clear about what his father is going through?
Therefore, Zhao Xu was actually suffering a lot in Qingning Palace.

His heart was about to move, but his rationality allowed him to restrain and calm down.

Zhao Xu is very clear about what he is carrying on his back?
The high hopes of his father, the bloody sacrifices of millions of soldiers along the border since Xining, and every familiar person, all count on him and pin their hopes on him.

Therefore, he can't make any mistakes.

Seeing Zhao Xu's serious expression, Feng Jing could only lower his head.

Maybe it was to dispel the heavy atmosphere, maybe it was to show off in front of Zhao Xu.

Feng Jing said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the minister was in the imperial kitchen and heard someone mention something. I don't know if it should be said..."

"Say!"

"I heard people say that this morning, a censor handed over the bullets, and the impeachment of Li knew that the report was not true, and he was deceiving the king..."

Zhao Xu looked at Feng Jing in surprise: "Who? Who is impeached by Yushi?"

"Li from Xihe Lanhui Road knows about it!" Feng Jing replied, "I heard it happened last year... It seems that everyone had already issued an imperial edict to discuss it with the censor, but then there was no news for some reason, and now it has been mentioned again..."

"Is it today?" Zhao Xu asked.

"It was indeed this morning!" Feng Jing replied affirmatively: "People in the imperial kitchen are all saying that this must be another handsome man who is jealous of Li Duzhi..."

When he said this, Feng Jing clearly showed a look of righteous indignation and common hatred.

It is not easy for the courtiers to be outside.

Not only discriminated against by civil officials, but also criticized and blamed by generals.

In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, when the five roads attacked Xia, Wang Zhongzheng, who started from Hedong, and Zhong'e, who started from Yanyan Road, accused and attacked each other.

In the end, Wang Zhongzheng was identified and took most of the responsibility.

This incident caused an uproar in Da Nei. Many people felt that even if Wang Zhongzheng was responsible, wouldn't Zhong E be responsible?
As the banner of the minister, Li Xian has been operating Xihe Road for more than ten years since he opened the Xihe River with Wang Shao in the early years of Xining. During the ten years, he has won many battles and rarely lost.

Especially after four years of Yuanfeng, Xihe Road has almost become the star of all the roads along the border!
During the five-way expedition against Xia, the soldiers and horses from Weixihe Road not only won unprecedented victories, but also expanded thousands of miles, regained Lanzhou and Huizhou, set fire to the West Thieves Palace, and then crossed Tiandu Mountain. The front of the soldiers once pointed directly at Xingqing Mansion.

After the defeat of Yongle City, it was Li Xian who turned the tide. He fought five times in Lanzhou and won five times.

Last year, with mere soldiers and horses all the way, they held on to the invaders who came from the leader of the western bandits, and they won the battle with the strength of the whole country.

In the past hundred years of the Song Dynasty, how many times have the capitals been built?
The last time Zhujing Temple boasted of martial arts, it had to be traced back to the beginning of the country.

Muxiu in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

Naturally, Li Xian was constantly attacked by the government and the opposition.

A small problem can be infinitely magnified.

But what Feng Jing didn't know was that in Zhao Xu's heart, there was already an uproar at this moment.

"So it's already started now?" Zhao Xu murmured in his heart.

In the memory of Zhao Xu's previous life, Li Xian was demoted after he ascended the throne.

Therefore, after waking up, he kept thinking that the incident happened in April.

But now, Feng Jing told Zhao Xu that the matter had already started to ferment.

In Zhao Xu's eyes, the difference between fighting in April and fighting in February is infinite.

Engaging in Li Xian in April can be regarded as "party struggle, court struggle".

Now, in Zhao Xu's view, there is only one possibility to engage Li Xian——

This is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance aimed at Pei Gong!

This is an attempt to cut off the wings left by his father to help him!
"That's right, if you want to demote a general with a large army in his hands, even if he is a courtier, how can there be no foreshadowing and preparation?"

"In this case, the person who did the work is definitely not the minister of the old party!" Zhao Xu thought in his heart.

In Zhao Xu's previous life, after he took office, he recalled Zhang Dun, Li Qingchen, Deng Runfu and others, and immediately began to reverse the case of the ministers who were slandered and demoted in Yuanyou.

Li Xian was naturally among them.

Under Zhang Dun's urging, Li Xian was demoted and forced to piece together with Sima Guang and Lu Gong's works.

Why should Li Xian be demoted?

Because the treacherous ministers Sima Guang and Duke Lu wrote traitorous books!They want to hand over the achievements of the former emperor's expansion to the western thieves, and Li Xian has become a thorn in the side of these treacherous officials and rebellious parties, and they must get rid of them quickly.

As a result, Li Xian's case was overturned, and then Zhao Xu issued an edict to restore all of Li Xian's honorary titles and official ranks, posthumously present the military governor of Wukang Army, and shade Li Xian's adopted son as a third-class borrower.

And even at that time, Zhao Xu actually sensed that something was wrong.

Because Sima Guang and Lu Gong's works were all in the first place around the first year of Yuanyou.

When Zhao Xu ascended the throne, one of these two people was in Luoyang and the other was in Yangzhou.

Even if Sima Guang and Lu Gong wrote that they were Arhats with long hands, they couldn't reach the Dutang in Bianjing City.

Therefore, Zhao Xu at that time also understood that Zhang Dun was shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target, and he could hit the bull's-eye no matter what.

However, Li Xian is already a dead person.

Moreover, he is a courtier.

To be able to restore honors, official ranks, shadows and descendants is already a mighty gift from heaven!

Therefore, no one cared about Zhao Xu, or inside or outside the court.

Until, Zhao Xu woke up in modern times, until he started to read history books, and began to follow the teacher at Imperial University to look through the research materials of the Song Dynasty.

Only then did Zhao Xu understand what Li Xian meant to Da Song and him?
A generation of famous generals, wronged and dusted.

Not only that, because of Li Xian's implication, countless people on the entire Xihe Lanhui Road were classified into separate books.

The fierce generals who created miracles inside and outside Lanzhou City have been buried since then.

Among them, the strongest one is called: Wang Wenyu!
Song Zhang Liao!

In ancient times, Zhang Liao Xiaoyaojin, [-] warriors broke through [-] Wu troops, and Sun Quan was awarded the title of Sun Shiwan from then on.

But few people know that in the Great Song Dynasty, under the city of Lanzhou, Wang Wenyu personally led [-] light cavalry to attack the [-] army of the Western Bandits at night. This battle directly caused the Western Bandits to roar and fall into the Yellow River.

However, Li Xian was demoted, and Wang Wenyu was cast idle, and he could no longer lead the army!
A generation of famous generals, a generation of fierce generals, just died of old age on the sick bed!
Except for Wang Wenyu, on Xihe Lanhui Road, Li Xian promoted and trained dozens of generals who are familiar with the local geography, know soldiers well, dare to fight and can fight, and most of them have similar fates.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Xian's relegation directly led to the fact that Song Dynasty's investment and hard work in the direction of Xihe Lanhui Road in the past ten years was almost in vain.

Tens of millions of wealth were wasted, and the sacrifice of 10,000+ people has been ignored since then.

Until later, when Zhao Xu was in charge, and until the Song Dynasty re-implemented the Hehuang strategy, he had to raise more than [-] troops again, and had to spend tens of millions more to go the way of Li Xian again.

This is simply nonsense!

……

Note: Wang Zhongzheng is an idiot, so I won't repeat it.

However, Feng Jing is a minister, so he will naturally lean towards Wang Zhongzheng.

Note 2: Shenzong is a very complicated emperor. He has made many wrong choices. He also likes micromanipulation. He has a strong desire for power and control. But at the same time, he lives a frugal life, has great ambitions, and a broad mind.

Note 3: Wang Wenyu is really fierce, [-] million breaks [-]. If it weren't for historical records, he would almost be reading fantasy novels.

Note 4: The time when Li Xian sent Huangfudan to Qingtang Tubo may be before the Fifth Lanzhou Battle, or before the Dingxi City Battle. Here, the fifth Lanzhou Battle is used.
