The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 305
Zhao Gou met Xing Bingyi by mistake and wrote a marriage letter, which soon spread to the palace.Song Huizong was surprised when he heard about it. He was ready for Zhao Gou to be perfunctory, but he never expected such a result, and then he was overjoyed.

At the same time, Zhao Gou's biological mother, Wei Shi, also heard the news and was in a good mood.This news was informed by Song Huizong personally. Since Zhao Gou came back safely, Webster's attitude towards Song Huizong has also changed a lot. He no longer made sarcastic remarks, but respected each other like a guest, but he was still a little strange.

It was much better than before, because Zhao Gou had a marriage contract, and the matter of Zhao Yougong's disobedience to the imperial decree and failed to find the woman he liked also came to an end, but Zhao Ji let it go, but Zhao Si hated iron and steel, and urged Zhao Yougong to get married as soon as possible. But they said it several times and then they didn't say it, because a major event happened in the whole Song Dynasty, so they had to shift their minds.

Zhao Ji was still happy that Zhao Gou had found his wife, and before he could digest it, an urgent report came from the border.Suddenly, Zhao Ji's face changed suddenly, and he was anxious to discuss important matters with the ministers of the DPRK and China. Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong, Prince Zhao Huan, Gao Qiu, Li Gang, Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan, Zong Ze and more than a dozen people participated in the meeting.

"Yanmenguan, Bazhou and other places have urgent battle reports for [-] miles. You must have known the contents of the battle reports!" Zhao Ji frowned, and said in a deep voice: "A rebellion broke out in the Liao Kingdom, and Emperor Tianzuo killed Xiao Yu and Yelv Tage. Here, Concubine Wen was also given to death, and Yelu Yujian led more than a thousand cavalry to defect to the Kingdom of Jin."

"In addition, Emperor Tianzuo heard the news and sent Xiao Xialing, Prime Minister of the Northern Mansion Xiao Degong, Xiao Qian, the Grand Master of the Fourth Army, and others to pursue him. Halfway through the pursuit, he caught up with Yelu Yujian. But for some reason, Yelu Yujian and others He left unharmed."

"The Xixia Kingdom sent a large army to capture Xi'an Prefecture and the Huaide Army. Now the Song Dynasty is surrounded by Liao, Jin, Xixia and other countries. They all have the heart to invade the Song Dynasty in the south and have wolf ambitions. The Jin Kingdom must know the national conditions of the Liao Kingdom after seeing Yeluyu. The situation is very serious. The Kingdom of Jin is advantageous, and the Kingdom of Jin has an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, so I am afraid it will be like a tiger with wings added!"

Crown Prince Zhao Huan bowed and said: "Jin Guo has now been helped by Yeluyu, and it has added wings to a tiger and has increased its chances of winning by invading Liao. At this time, Jin Guo is still standing still and still forming an alliance with our Song Dynasty, and wants to destroy Liao together. I'm afraid of wolf ambition!"

Zhao Ji nodded appreciatively, Zhao Huan's analysis was good, and said in a deep voice: "What the crown prince said is exactly what I am worried about. If you have any thoughts, you may as well speak up!"

As a general, Zong Ze did his part to lead the battle, and said loudly: "Qi Zou the emperor, I think it is necessary to take preventive measures. If the Kingdom of Jin gets Yeluyu's help, the end of the Liao Kingdom is not far away! King Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin is a man of great ambitions, I am afraid that after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, he will encroach on the hearts of the Song Dynasty, so we have to guard against it at this time!"

"Besides, Yeluyu saw that he led the remaining thousands of people to surrender to the Kingdom of Jin. The Kingdom of Jin has strong soldiers and horses, and it borders the Kingdom of Liao. He must have the heart to destroy the Kingdom of Liao. However, Song Dynasty also thought the same way. It is just an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin. Seeking skins from tigers, I am worried that Jin will repent and attack Song in the future."

"At this time, Xixia sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty and occupied several cities. The minister thought that it was reasonable to send more troops to guard the Yanmen Pass border pass, in case Xixia led an army to attack the Song Dynasty, and the Jin Kingdom took advantage of it. This move is also to guard against the Jin Kingdom. Attacking the Song Dynasty, testing the truth, the Xixia army took advantage of the situation to attack."

"Zong Shuai's words, I'm afraid they will make a big deal out of a molehill!" Wang Boyan was the first to raise objections, and sneered at Zong Ze's words, and replied respectfully: "Qing Zong, I think Zong Shuai's words will strengthen others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Even if the Kingdom of Jin gets Yeluyu's help, it won't be able to cause much trouble."

"Nowadays, the main enemy of the Kingdom of Jin and the Great Song Dynasty is the Kingdom of Liao. Yeluyu sees that helping the Kingdom of Jin is equivalent to helping the Great Song. As long as the Kingdom of Liao perishes, the recovery of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun is just around the corner, so I think this matter It should be a good thing, don’t easily send troops to reinforce it.”

"If you wantonly send troops for reinforcements, it will definitely cause Jin Kingdom's hostility. This will cost a lot, but the treasury is full, but where should the huge military supplies be dispatched? If it is a false alarm, it will be a waste. In addition, sending troops for reinforcements will also It aroused the enmity of King Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin, thinking that Song Dynasty would break his promise and would destroy the covenant, if the Kingdom of Jin formed an alliance with Xixia, then Dasong would be attacked by the enemy, how should we deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to think twice!" Wang Boyan said with a more serious tone, "Don't listen to what Zong Shuai said. Reckless self-inflicted soldiers, breaking promises is a trivial matter, destroying the covenant between the two countries is a major matter, and destroying the relationship between the two countries is everything. Never!"

Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, but he didn't believe it, so he asked lightly: "Prince, what do you think?"

Crown Prince Zhao Huan bowed and replied: "Reporting to my father, my son thinks that Lord Wang's words are very true. If the two countries form an alliance, and the Liao Kingdom is eyeing it, the three parties will only fear that the Song Dynasty will send troops." It's dangerous, I hope the emperor will think twice before doing it!"

Li Gang had a strong and straightforward temper, and cursed: "You only know the peace of the Lord, but you don't know that Jin Guo really wants to break the contract. I'm afraid it will be too late to send troops to reinforce. At that time, you will be rebellious officials and thieves who will harm the country and the people. You know, the Xixia Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty Bi Nai is a small country, but still dare to send troops to attack, even with your help, I am afraid of this, and I am also afraid of that, so that the soldiers who go to battle to kill the enemy don't know what to do."

"Now, the Xixia Kingdom has bullied us. To be patient is something the people of the Great Song Dynasty can tolerate. If we back down, the Xixia Kingdom is still pressing hard. What will happen then? Could it be that we will fight back when the danger comes? I'm afraid that when the crisis comes, I'm afraid you will bow your head and surrender with your tail between your legs!"

When the ministers of the Zhuhe faction heard Li Gang's strong tone, their faces turned red and then turned pale. Everyone stared at Li Gang angrily, because what Li Gang said was too much, and the scolding was bloody, but it was true.If Song Dynasty is really attacked, I am afraid that these people will really bow down to them as he said, Zhao Gou knows it well, and the eyes he looks at them become much colder.

"Master Li said these words too much!" Huang Qianshan couldn't bear Li Gang's abuse, and immediately defended: "We are focusing on the overall situation. If there is a war, I am afraid that the lives will be ruined again. However, Jin Guoben and Da Song It’s better, let’s not say that rashly mobilizing troops to destroy the relationship between the two countries, it will also be a subject of discussion, I’m afraid everyone will say that Song Dynasty has a lot of treachery.”

"The overall situation is the most important thing, so the overall situation is the most important thing!" Zong Ze sneered, "If the overall situation is the most important thing, why not go to Xixia Kingdom personally by Master Huang?"

Huang Qianshan was stunned, trembling with anger, cursing falteringly: "You..."

Now that the Xixia Kingdom and the Song Dynasty are in a confrontation, if they head to the Xixia Kingdom rashly, they may never return. Zong Ze's words deeply hurt Huang Qianshan, not only that, even Wang Boyan and others were speechless.As a result, everyone started a scolding war again, even Gao Qiu and others joined in. There were too many people who advocated peace, and few advocated the battle. Zhao Gou just watched coldly from the beginning to the end, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. Zhao Yougong was the same as Zhao Gou, with no expression on his face.
