I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 383 I Don't Accept Threats
No agreement?

Zhao Xi was right after thinking about it. As far as the Zhengshitang is concerned, the report that Dali has received so far is a siege, not an attack.

The Gao family probably didn't intend to attack the mining city, but just wanted to prevent the defenders of the workshop city from participating in the civil strife in Dali.

Leaving aside this point, if Annan really intervenes, the fact that the Gao family does not attack currently does not mean that it will remain so.

Zhao Xi understood that Gao was waiting for Annan's actions.

It has been more than ten years, and they probably forgot the pain of Nanzheng, or they feel that they can fight against Song Dynasty.

The story of beating Xixia should have spread to Dali, and Annan should know about it. Zhao Xi couldn't figure out who gave them the courage to cause trouble.

Three years without weapons?Or they knew the details of the war with Xixia, knowing that Guochao used wheel guns and chariots.

Could it be that high mountains and dense forests can make them arrogant?
"Get ready for battle!"

Zhao Xi didn't think it was just a civil strife in Dali, nor did he think that the Gao clan was just threatening [-] people.

The interests of the mining city and the unequal treaty with Annan's grain trade are the reasons why Gao and Annan made small moves.

As for whether there is any idea of ​​taking another step, it probably depends on Guochao's reaction.

"Officials, the former emperor was a great leader. Not using weapons for three years is the foundation of filial piety! You must never talk about military affairs while observing filial piety. This is what the tyrant King Jie did!"

Speaking of which, Zhao Xi had a good impression of Sima Guang, for no reason, just because of his smashing vat that has been passed down through the ages, and the compilation of Zi Zhi Tong Jian.

A person who can write history books should know the gains and losses, know the changes, and not be so conservative.

Hearing Sima Guang's words, he extremely doubted the authenticity of Zizhi Tongjian for later generations.

"Sima Admonishes, I heard that Ding You, a military general in war, can be seductive..."

"Warrior lacks enlightenment, whether Ding You wins love or not has nothing to do with his reputation."

Fuck you!Zhao Xi really wanted to curse at this time.

The annoyance was not because Sima Guang interrupted him, but because of the sentence: lack of martial arts education!
Thinking back to when Pang Ji was demoted because of Sima Guang's mistakes in the Western Army, he thought it was just a matter of tactical arrangement.

Now it seems that Sima Guang may despise the soldiers from the bottom of his heart.You're lucky if you don't get shot.

"There are also stories of tyranny and love in the country, so what should we say?"

Zhao Xi's tone was already cold, without any emotion in it.

"It's just a person who is greedy for power! It is the duty of a gentleman to abide by filial piety. Your Majesty is the first to ascend the throne, and you must not tarnish your reputation for mere wealth."

"Using power to bully others is not a gentleman's act. Back then, His Majesty conquered the enclave with military power in other countries, which is far from the conduct of a sage."

"Seeking wealth from the land of other countries, although alleviating the disadvantages of the country's lack of copper, will have disadvantages rather than benefits to His Majesty's reputation."

"Nowadays, regardless of whether the Gao family has usurped or not, whether Dali is in charge of the Gao family or the Duan family is a matter of Dali's own country, and the court has no right to interfere."

"Gao's siege of the mining city, His Majesty should take this opportunity to withdraw from the mining city, in order to fulfill the name of His Majesty's sage!"

"Besides, the mining city is not the mining city of the imperial court, but the mining city of merchants. It is neither the territory of the dynasty nor the city of the dynasty. Using the soldiers of the dynasty because of the city of merchants is not a good name!"

Zhao Xi suddenly felt a little bored.The anger just now suddenly disappeared, nothing at all.

Indeed, Sima Guang is a person who is familiar with the past and the present, with well-founded evidence. The whole article is about making Zhao Xi an eternal sage, and he wants to lead by example from the bottom of his heart to create a world of great harmony.

This is a man of faith and a man of knowledge, not a politician.

He has ideals, ambitions, and his own ideas, and he firmly believes in the correctness of his ideas.

Arguing with such a sage who is not prepared to eat human fireworks, Zhao Xi felt that he was vulgar.

Fu Bi was a little puzzled by the official's change of mood.

I thought the officials would get angry, and even demote Sima Junshi because of it.Unexpectedly, when Sima Junshi's long speech was over, the mood of the officials would return to that calm state.

In Fu Bi's concept, the official family has shown his indomitable spirit since he was a child, but the first confrontation with Zhengshitang after he ascended the throne was so mellow.

Is this possible?
If the throne can change people's temper, even if there is, Fu Bi doesn't think it will be an official.

"What do you think?"

Zhao Xi no longer took Sima Guang's fault.Such a debate, no matter what the outcome, will not change his philosophy.

If it's a waste of words, it's better to just ignore it, even if Mr. Sima Junshi thinks he's persuaded by him, it doesn't matter.

The officials gave in?how is this possible?This is the first time we have confronted each other. If this is the beginning, there will be many disputes of this kind in the future.

Unbelievable!Except for Sima Guang, none of the Fubi and Han Qi felt at ease, and they always felt that the officials had something to do.

"Officials, what Sima Junshi said is not unreasonable, but the importance of the mining city to the state is beyond doubt."

Fu Bi is the prime minister, so when no one speaks, he has to take over.

But even answering the call is equivalent to nonsense, which is ambiguous.

"Whether to use troops should be determined according to the development of the situation."

Wen Yanbo thinks this is what the officials think.

The officials talked about preparing for war instead of sending troops, which means that they have not decided on a strategy, and it depends on Annan's reaction and Gao's next move.

"As a result, the [-] people in the mining city are in crisis, and the imperial court cannot ignore it."

"Officials, the old minister thinks that maybe sending envoys to the south, whether it's for the support of the Duan family or for the sake of the [-] people of the mining city, can represent an attitude of the country, so as to deter the Gao family from acting recklessly."

It's nonsense, shocking, never relying on lip service.

But the good news is that except for Sima Guang, the rest of them didn't talk about it anymore, and they were somewhat pragmatic anyway.

As for how to do it, Zhao Xi will definitely send troops, no matter how the Zhengshitang finally opposes it.

"Officials, there is no contradiction between sending an envoy to Dali and watching the situation. The imperial court can pay close attention to Mining City and Annan, and at the same time, send an envoy to Dali first..."

Forget it, what Han Qi said doesn't affect the final dispatch of troops.

"I heard that Sima Jianyi has been an ambassador to Dali..."

"Officials, for the chaos in the small border country, the majestic suzerain country does not need important officials to send envoys, and Honglu Temple can send a small official to reprimand."

When Fu Bi heard that the officials mentioned that Sima Guang had been an ambassador to Dali, he quickly took the conversation.

After all, the official family is still not mellow, and the chief judge of treason put Sima Junshi on the stove and roasted it again. This time he is going to Dali as an envoy, and Sima Junshi will be roasted again.

This is going to hell!Who doesn't know how complicated the interests of the mining city are?

Han Qi and the others were also numb for a while... Sima Jun really didn't have a long memory, and neither did the officials.

"Oh... Fu Xiang thinks it is enough to just send a small minister?"

"can!"

"Sure! But there is one thing, which is also the bottom line: I don't accept threats. From now on, I, Da Song, will not accept any threats!"

"Just like Sima Jianyi said, the way of a gentleman, the actions of a gentleman, without integrity, there is no way to talk about a gentleman!"

After Zhao Xi finished speaking, he directly picked up the memorial on the desk.
