Chapter 311
Zhao Xi came out of Zichen Palace like that, tears were still flowing, and he still couldn't calm down.

He knew that he was rude, but he had to come out, he was afraid that he would really lose control and continue... If so, it is very likely that he will recount the foreign policy of the country, and even criticize his ancestors mercilessly and dad.

Even the so-called masters who know the military affairs, and the generals who have no backbone, he can't help but criticize them one by one...

At this time, he had no choice but to leave Zichen Palace and the ministers and workers who made him angry just looking at him.

Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian followed, trying to persuade His Highness the Crown Prince to put up the chariot several times, but they did not dare to speak a few times.

The two of them were not qualified to enter the hall, so they waited in the side hall, but the voice of His Royal Highness was heard far away in the silent Zichen Hall at that time...~
They were also crying...

Zhao Xi seldom brought his emotions to the East Palace, and rarely talked about court affairs in the inner court, but this time, he didn't slow down all the way back to the East Palace.

Just like that, he mechanically nodded with his own woman, and went straight back to the study... That was a taboo in the East Palace, and no one could enter without his consent.

He even forgot to go to the Ciming Palace to pay his respects.

I have never seen my own man so depressed.After seeing Zhao Xi like this, the women in the East Palace panicked...

He has always been an indomitable man, and suddenly he is like this...

After learning all the details about the early court, they cried more miserable than Zhao Xi...

"Xi'er...Xi'er..."

Empress Cao came from Ciming Palace.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost his composure in the early court, not to mention Neiyuan, even Bianliang may have rumors.

"Ma'am, I'm worried about the baby. The baby is fine."

"I'm not worried about my mother, I know how my son is. It's just that Tao Niang and the others are really worried..."

Zhao Xi looked at her own woman with red, swollen eye circles... Sigh, after two lifetimes, she still can't control her emotions perfectly.

"Tao Niang, send fifty copper coins to the court before the court is over. Your Sanlang lost his temper early and was fined five hundred catties of copper..."

Zhao Xi should have calmed down, but he said it so easily, it actually made the women who had stopped crying cry again.

A self-penalty of five hundred catties of copper... This is a rare event in the country that voluntarily pays a fine of copper, and it was before the court punished it.

This is also the time when the imperial court had no intention of punishing, but had to go through this process.

Weeping...His Highness the Crown Prince cried once, it should have a little effect in waking up the courtiers, at least no one will hum about the envoys of Xixia anymore.

No one is born to be a slut, and no one wants to speak up to foreigners, but... the failures of the country over the years have made everyone have no courage.

Perhaps, thinking of His Royal Highness's Southern Expedition a few years ago, he intended to let His Royal Highness's guard battalion and the new army trained by the guard battalion come to a war against Xixia, so as to verify the effect of years of armament.

Many things are really not achieved by shouting slogans.

Only for a while, the whole court seemed to have the feeling of being united as one. The preparations for the battle were already on the table, and everyone was working hard to do their own thing well.

In fact, this has always been the case.It's not that he likes war so much, but that within a specific scope of duties, no one wants to be involved in the cause of the defeat... Fundamentally, no one is optimistic about the winning rate of the battle against Xia.

"Western bandit invades the border!"

The envoys of Xixia had not left Bianliang for a long time, counting the time, even if they were running non-stop, they should have only arrived in Xingqing Mansion for three or five days at this time, but there was already a report from the western thieves from Bianzhou.

Zhao Xi was also surprised, could it be possible that the king of Xixia could decide with one word in the Xixia court?
In fact, this is not the case.There are many reasons for the quick response this time.

Xixia's belligerence is determined by its own geographical location, by its unique border situation, and even has something to do with its own domestic system.

Just like a person who is born with a defect, he will be a little sensitive when dealing with others.

Xixia belongs to that kind of tribal co-ownership system, and it has a plundering inheritance. In addition, it connects Daliao in the northeast, Huihe in the northwest, disputes with the Song Dynasty in the southeast, and discord with Tubo in the southwest.

It can be said to be the reality of being surrounded by enemies on all sides.

This made him have to exhaust all the power in the country to achieve a fierce and brave impression.

This state may not be caused by anyone intentionally, but in fact, it is indeed like this.

Even, he is always worried that the various forces will contact each other, thereby squeezing their living space.

For example, when Gu Siluo married Princess Beiliao, he would find any reason to harass Beiliao.

Hearing that Gu Siluo drove away Princess Beiliao, he would find any reason to fight with Gu Siluo again.

This is even more so with the Great Song Dynasty. Since the rebellion and founding of the country, it seems that there have not been a few years of stable life. Even since the Qingli peace talks, they have never stopped harassing new soldiers.

But this time, because of the benefits of wool, they made a lot of contacts with Beiliao. They thought that even if they couldn't get the wool technology, it would be a good deal to increase the yearly gifts.

Unexpectedly, civil strife broke out in Beiliao at this stall!
Quite a loss.Originally, the Liao Emperor ignored political affairs, and all the benefits that Xixia sent out were given to the emperor's uncle, but now it was all in vain.

He is thinking about going to the territory of Northern Liao to recover some losses. He can take advantage of the civil strife in Northern Liao to regain the face of being beaten up by Daliao last time, so as to break the practice of having to contribute due to defeat.

As a result, Beiliao actually sent envoys to make a profit, reducing the number of war horses that were defeated in the last battle.

I also know that it is impossible to take advantage of Da Song this time. Without Daliao's response, it is absolutely impossible for Song Guo to agree to the request based on their Da Xia alone.

When they heard that Song and Liao had reached a covenant to increase the wool trade, the nobles in the entire Xixia felt a sense of urgency... worried that Song and Liao would become close in the future, and the old gift from the Song Dynasty might be gone.

At this time, they had to find one of these two to show off their muscles, so as to ensure that they were afraid of themselves when they joined forces.

As a result, the envoy brought back a ready-made excuse...the envoy was humiliated.The point is that all the honorable families have lost their children.

This makes this battle without any controversy.

Even before the entire team started to go out, all the places that bordered the Song State had already begun to attack the Song State's border strongholds.

Therefore, Zhao Xi saw a series of Kou Bian memorials.

First, the Suide Army made a report, and Xixia Xiangyou Army's Kou Bian attacked the two camps of Guochao.Then the Kelan army reported that Xixia's left wing heroic army commander crossed the Jialu River, intending to invade eastward.

There was no interval, and immediately after the Security Army reported, the Jianing Army Division and the Jingsai Army Division in Xixia both made changes and attacked the border village.Even Huizhou, which borders the Xishou Baotai Military Division of Xixia, was harassed.

This is almost a full-line battle on the entire border. Every western army that borders Xixia has already fought!
