A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Don't think that because those places are far away from the Song Dynasty, there is no threat. What is our responsibility?"

In the Privy Council, Shen An asked.

Everyone here is a big boss, so naturally they won’t answer questions like this.

"Our duty is to eliminate threats for our descendants and hand over a better Song Dynasty to them, and I can't see such ideas in the Privy Council." Shen An feels that it is in line with the tradition of civilians to be in charge of the military, but the candidates are not Debatable.

For example, a conservative boss like Wen Yanbo would not support such an expedition with an unknown future.

Where is Wang Shao?

Shen An glanced at Wang Shao and felt that this was the future Privy Councilor.

The Privy Council must be proactive, so the next appointment must be carefully considered.

Wen Yanbo thought for a while, "I drove thousands of miles just for this matter. I think it is worthy of discussion. The Privy Council... The Privy Council knows nothing about Seljuk and only has a superficial understanding of Dashi. How can we win this battle? How can we win? What about the negative result? Who can tell me?"

"We must win!" With the gunboats in hand, Shen An didn't think anyone would pose a fatal threat to the Song Dynasty navy.

Wen Yanbo stared at him, "This kind of promise is the most ridiculous. Duke Shen, have you thought about it?"

Wen Yanbo is threatening and telling Shen An that if you lose, what you say today will be your crime.

"Of course!" Shen An felt that Lao Wen was really old, even if he was a famous longevity star in history, but he was too conservative.

Wen Yanbo suddenly smiled and said: "I will naturally discuss with the DPRK how to fight this battle...?"

This battle is an expedition. There cannot be too many people and horses, and more ships are needed to load food and grass.

Wen Yanbo argued with the prime ministers and ministers in the court, while Shen An argued with Zhao Xu in the Qingning Palace.

"You want to go?" Shen An thought this guy was crazy.

"Which prince would go to conquer thousands of miles away?" Shen An reached out to touch his forehead, but was avoided.

"Of course I'm going." Zhao Xu was obviously prepared, "The imperial doctor once again confirmed the gender of the child in Xiang's belly."

"Boy?" Shen An thought this was a bit fantasy.

"Yes." Zhao Xu looked serious.

"Then what is the purpose of your visit?" The prince should stay in the capital and observe the government. He can go out to inspect the people's sentiments, but not too far away.

As for conquest, it has nothing to do with him.

"This battle is thousands of miles away. Who can lead the army?"

Zhao Xu asked this question, which stunned Shen An.

yes!

According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the commander of this kind of expedition must be reliable.

In other words, at least there is no need to worry about rebellion and rebellion.

"Isn't that true?" Shen An said with a bitter smile: "How can the navy rebel? Even if they set off with tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of people won't be able to rebel, right?"

He looked at Zhao Xu, "This is an excuse. Are you thinking about it?"

Zhao Xu sighed, "Anbei, your contribution is too great."

Shen An was shocked, and then realized the reason why Zhao Xu wanted to go.

His contribution is too great.

Especially in the Northern Expedition, his contribution could almost make him a king.

In this context, if he leads an army alone to conquer Dashi again, how should he be rewarded after he returns?

Become a king?

impossible!

But without being crowned king, his achievements would be like a huge boulder weighing on the court, making people uneasy.

"But isn't XX a scholar?" This is the consensus between him and Zhao Shu, which is to use his status as a scholar to limit his development direction.

"But after all, there are too many." Zhao Xu counted his military exploits with his fingers. After counting, Shen An waved his hands and said, "That's it!"

This achievement was so frightening that even Shen An felt it was not appropriate.

Even in the future, such great achievements must be balanced.

"But what are you going to do?" Shen An was helpless.

"If I go, I will be crowned crown prince when I come back." Zhao Xu's calmness exceeded Shen An's expectations.

"You mean..." Shen An understood everything at once, "the prestige of today's official family is too high."

"If you wait for me in the future..." If you wait until Zhao Xu ascends the throne, he will be shocked to find that his father's prestige is too high, and he will become a little transparent under the throne. Even after he succeeds to the throne, he will still be a little transparent. Transparent, shrouded in a huge shadow.

"At that time, the officials will despise me." Zhao Xu said in a deep voice: "So the officials are also thinking about this matter, but after thinking about it, what can I do to establish my prestige? The only way is to fight."

Zhao Shu reigned for several years, Jiaozhi was destroyed, Xixia was destroyed, the Northern Expedition was successful..., and the new policies were also implemented one by one.

Could ancient and modern emperors accomplish so many feats in such a short period of time? Not at all.

This mentally ill patient used his perseverance to pave a beautiful road for the Song Dynasty, but others were unable to walk on this road steadily.

Therefore, Zhao Xu must improve his prestige.

Seeing that he understood, Zhao Xu smiled and said: "The officials are also worried about this matter, so it is not a good thing that I have been dormant for too long."

"If the officials are mediocre, it's okay for you to stay dormant." Shen An felt a little headache, "But I'm afraid the officials won't allow you to go on an expedition, right?"

Zhao Xu's calmness disappeared immediately, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Let alone an official, even a saint will have a hard time getting through."

Gao Taotao is not a good person. If she gets angry, Zhao Shu and Zhao Xu and his son will not have a good life.

Shen An gloated: "Then I wish you immediate success."

Zhao Xu shook his head, feeling that he was not careful in making friends.

Later he went to seek an audience with the officials.

"Do you want to go?" Zhao Shu was startled at first, then frowned, "Thousands of miles away, the sea is changing, and there may be waves coming. What will you do then?"

"The soldiers are also experiencing storms." Zhao Xu felt that this was nothing.

"Wouldn't it be better to go to the north?" Zhao Shu thought of the Liao Kingdom.

After losing the land of Youyan, Yelu Hongji was like a lone wolf, gathering his subordinates, sharpening his minions, and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

However, the Song Dynasty did not move, which made Yelu Hongji feel a little melancholy, but he did not dare to take the initiative to launch an attack.

This is the pattern of the Northern Expedition. Zhao Shu believes that only two battles can bring the Song Dynasty back to the prosperous age of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"North..." Zhao Xu said: "Don't you mean to make the Liao people panic and consume their morale and popular support? When they are panicked, the Song Dynasty will launch another attack."

This was a map that Zhao Shu had been pondering for a long time and reached a consensus after consulting with Shen An. Over this, the monarch and his ministers even had a dispute, which made Zhao Shu's voice hoarse.

"This matter... depends on your mother." Seeing his son's insistence, Zhao Shu stood up and said, "I'll go talk first..."

"Thank you, dad." Zhao Xu cupped his hands with reverence in his eyes.

It feels good to be worshiped by my son!

Zhao Shu walked lightly all the way to the harem. When he stood outside the palace, he felt something.

"What?"

The woman's screams echoed throughout the palace.

"No!" Gao Taotao was angry.

"That's overseas. Officer, don't you want to change the prince?"

I go!

I don’t want to change!

It was your son who insisted on going.

Zhao Shu wanted to cry, "Da Lang must make meritorious deeds."

"The North can also make meritorious deeds." Gao Taotao roared like a she-wolf who has discovered a foreign enemy, "Besides, he is a prince, what merit does he need?"

"If he has no merit, he will not be able to suppress the officials in the future." Zhao Shu smiled bitterly.

"What do you mean?" Gao Taotao took Zhao Shu's hand, "Official, what does this mean?"

"My prestige is too high." Zhao Shu said calmly: "Both Jiaozhi and Xixia were destroyed during my reign. If nothing else happens, the Liao Kingdom will also be destroyed. Think about it, wait for you and me After leaving, when Dalang faces the Song Dynasty, where does he get his prestige?"

Gao Taotao was stunned, then burst into tears, but still did not forget to say: "If these words are heard by people from outside the court, prepare to go to Shunzhou."

The chambermaids shuddered and retreated one after another.

"This matter...since he is willing to go, then let's go." Men can stay strong many times, but women are different.

"Can't you not go?"

"Better go."

"Official..."

"Official..."

"His Majesty……"

The commotion in the palace became louder.

When Zhao Shu came out later, he looked a little strange and walked crookedly.

This is not appropriate!

After returning to his place, Zhao Shu said: "I want to sleep alone for a few days."

Then he called Zhao Xu.

"There is nothing I can do about this matter...as a father."

He felt that he had tried his best, but at this time, his mother's power was even stronger.

It’s off the street!

Zhao Xu looked troubled. He thought this matter could be solved, but in the end he was stuck with his mother.

But he is not a weak-willed man.

"What should I do about this?"

Zhao Xu went to Shen's house and convened a small group to discuss matters.

"This matter is actually simple." Su Shi said calmly: "A man acts like a man, so why do we need to explain?"

Zhao Xu desperately found that Su Shi was not a good helper.

Zhe Kexing held it in for a long time, "My family never stopped me from doing something, even when I was young and wanted to hunt down wild wolves."

A half-grown child went to hunt down a wild wolf, while his family just watched with a smile.

This is the kid from the northwest!

Awesome!

But this awesome thing cannot be applied to Zhao Xu.

Wang Yu thought for a while, "The saint is just reluctant to give up and is worried about your safety. If this concern can be relieved, I will naturally agree."

"How can we eliminate this doubt?" Zhao Xu was so desperate!

Shen An was drinking tea with great relish.

Zhao Xu raised his hand and said, "Please give me some advice."

"Why are you so anxious?" Shen An drank tea slowly and slowly when it was rare that he could put on a show.

Zhao Xu was so angry that he really wanted to grab the teacup and throw it away.

"This matter, it's actually not difficult." Shen An put down the tea cup and felt that these people had overlooked one point, "You need to let the saint know that if your prestige is not enough, you will face countless doubts and ulterior motives in the future. The mother is worried about the safety of her child. , then why don’t you try to persuade me from the other side?”

Keep it!

Zhao Xu understood everything, "Since the saint is worried about the danger of me going to sea, what if I don't go to sea? Isn't it dangerous? It is also dangerous, and there is also the threat of the country overthrow. Then my whole family will be unlucky. Compared with going to sea, which one is lighter?" Heavy?"

"Wonderful!" Su Shi patted his thigh, "Anbei is indeed full of clever ideas."

"It's just..." Zhao Xu thought for a moment, "I'm just afraid that the saint won't believe me."

Why would the Song Dynasty be in danger if it didn’t go to sea? UU Reading www.uukanshu． net Then go to the north!

"One person says he doesn't believe it, but two people, don't you understand that three people can become a tiger?" Shen An felt that these people were unlucky people who didn't care about their family, so there was nothing they could do when encountering such a thing. "As for the north, tell the saint, Fighting on land is more dangerous. An arrow or a charge may cost a life. But it is different at sea. There are huge warships protecting the sea. Where will you encounter danger?"

Zhao Xu stood up and held his hands in his hands, "Brother Anbei is a great talent, thank you very much."

Shen An smiled and said: "The Shen family makes the decision. I have encountered this kind of thing many times, and they always listen to me."

Everyone couldn't help but be envious. When they went out later, they happened to meet Taro coming to plead with him.

"Dad, there is a good juggling show at Daxiangguo Temple today. My kid wants to see it." Taro said with a look of admiration on his face.

"Go, go." It's the end of the year, and it's time for the children to take a vacation.

Taro blinked his big eyes, "It's just that Mom said no, there are still two articles to read."

Shen An looked domineering, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

"Thank you dad."

Later, Zhao Xu received the news in the palace.

"Shen Guogong personally went to Daxiangguo Temple to pick up the taro and took it home. He looked disgraced."

Zhao Xu was startled, "Are you forced to go there by your wife?"

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing. "He also said that he could make the decision at home, but when he turned around, his wife made him helpless and had no choice but to go back and pick up the child. It's really a shame for a man!"

He raised his head and stood up, Wang Chongnian asked: "Where is the king going?"

Zhao Xu said calmly: "I went to see the saint."
