A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

When the ministers and ministers came to court, they found Zhao Shu standing outside the palace.

"This is……"

Ouyang Xiu's eyes were not good, and he said movedly: "Is the official coming to welcome us?"

Zhao Shu looked past them, seemingly without focus.

Han Qi held his big belly and said disdainfully: "You think too much."

"The messenger has arrived."

Chen Zhongheng ran away wildly, and the ministers and ministers turned around. When Chen Zhongheng rushed back again with a bamboo tube, they knew what Zhao Shu was waiting for.

Chen Zhongheng shouted: "Rich Prime Minister, rich Prime Minister."

Fu Bi went over to take the bamboo tube, opened it, looked at the seal, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the original seal."

"Open!"

Zhao Shu's voice was a little strange.

Fu Bi took a deep breath, opened the envelope, and then took out the memorial and took a look at it.

"oh……"

Fu Bi's groan-like voice made Han Qi furious. He went over to grab the memorial and read the content first, regardless of where Zhao Shu was looking forward to it.

"Is it gunpowder!?"

Han Qi slapped his forehead, and a slap mark immediately appeared on it, and then slowly dissipated.

"Your Majesty, the Liao people are afraid of the new gunpowder and say they will give up on it."

Zhao Shu felt itchy and unbearable, coughed dryly and said: "Memorial."

I am an emperor! The memorial is the last one to be read. Are you going to make a big splash?

He took the memorial and couldn't help but read it out.

"... Tens of thousands of Liao troops gathered hundreds of miles away from Fuzhou, and the leader was Xiao Dian. I met with Xiao Dian ten miles outside the city. I observed the words carefully and concluded that the Liao people were afraid of the new gunpowder, so I made an excuse If you enter by mistake, just say that the two countries are done with it..."

Zhao Shu raised his head and took a deep breath, feeling that the air was so fresh and intoxicating.

Ouyang Xiu took a deep breath excitedly, but the cold morning air entered his lungs, causing him to cough.

Han Qi bowed and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Zhao Shu was happy in his heart and said casually: "Congratulations for what?"

Han Qi said: "The Liao people dispatched more than 10,000 cavalry this time, including heavy cavalry. After being defeated by the Song Dynasty in the first battle, Yelu Hongji was uneasy. After that, the Liao people had to think twice if they wanted to attack the Song Dynasty. Think about this battle and whether they can shake the Song Dynasty!"

At this moment, Han Qi's eyes were full of light, as if he was ten years younger.

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Yes, if Yelu Hongji wants to take action, he must first find out the gunpowder... The person who came here has been passing Zhang for eight years, so hurry up!"

Zeng Gongliang's expression changed and he said: "The Liao people will definitely explore the secrets of gunpowder. Fortunately, it was built in the city, otherwise..."

Zhao Shu glanced at the back of the memorial and said: "Shen Anjian proposed to move the gunpowder workshop outside the city, saying that the fields are open and easy to defend. In addition, if there is an accident, there will not be heavy casualties."

Han Qi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what if the enemy troops come to the city? Isn't the gunpowder workshop outside the city an enemy?"

Zhao Shu handed over the memorial and said, "Read it yourself."

Han Qi took the memorial and read it to the end. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Shen An even thought of this worry. I am ashamed."

Zeng Gongliang asked curiously: "Xiang Han, what does he mean?"

"He said that if the enemy troops were to attack Bianliang City, it would be useless whether or not they had gunpowder. When the Song Dynasty arrived, military men should die, and civil servants should also die. Let's all die together."

Zeng Gongliang said sadly: "Yes, if we are attacked by troops, it means that we are incompetent and should die."

Zhao Shu turned his eyes and asked: "Although this man's words are vulgar, he is still heroic. What do you think?"

Han Qi nodded and said, "I agree."

"I agree."

"Your Majesty, the king wishes to see you."

Zhao Xu came and said, "Dad, the Liao people are bound to be wary of gunpowder's achievements. They must be careful of their spies."

Zhao Shu and the ministers looked at each other, then smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Han Qi said with a straight face: "If the messenger hadn't been brought here after entering the city, I would have thought that the king had intercepted the news in advance."

This compliment was very powerful. Zhao Shu smiled and said: "He only has those few people under him. Without Shen An, there are only Wang Xu and Su Shi. How can they have such ability? As for Zhe Kexing, it is said that he failed to go to Chengfu Prefecture this time. We are training Wan Shengjun ruthlessly."

Zhao Xu didn't know why, so Zeng Gongliang reminded him: "I don't know, your Majesty, but Cai Chen and others were discussing how to keep the secret of gunpowder..."

"Move outside the city!"

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he found that everyone was staring at him with strange eyes.

Zhao Shu smiled slightly and said: "I used to think that Da Lang went out to play, and I wanted to discipline him, but I always thought that I couldn't let him live the same life again, so I just let him relax."

At that time, Zhao Shu's family lived a leisurely life with nothing to do and no future. They probably waited for Zhao Yun to separate the family and then receive some money and food every month to survive. They would not die of hunger, but they would not live well.

Zhao Shu had a bad childhood, which was deeply engraved with black marks. He didn't want his son to do the same, so he made it easier.

"Who would have thought that you and Shen An might have mixed up something, it's not bad."

Zhao Xu was puzzled. Seeing that Han Qi and others were also surprised, he said, "My child has been very comfortable in the past few years."

"Yes!" Zhao Shu said with a smile: "I thought you had a lot to learn, but who knew you actually knew a lot..."

Zhao Xu was curious and asked, "Why did daddy say this?"

Zhao Shu asked: "Why do you want to go outside the city? If the enemy attacks, how to resist it?"

Han Qi and others all stared at Zhao Xu, thinking that this king would not be so heroic, right?

Zhao Xu frowned and said: "The outside of the city is open and it is not easy for people to sneak in. As for the enemy's surprise attack, dad, if the enemy's surprise attack arrives outside Bianliang City, the child will think that the emperor at that time will also die, so it is best to go out of the city and charge into battle. Die under the enemy's arrows, so that you can have the honor to go down to see your ancestors."

So strong?

Everyone was silent.

What they didn't know was that a few decades later, Zhao Xu's sons, Zhao Ji and his son, would perform such a thing. However, instead of leaving the city to die, they were forced by the courtiers to leave the city and become prisoners.

Zhao Shu's eyes were complicated, and he felt sad in his heart. He is not as strong as his son, but he knows that strength can easily be broken. Is this son's temperament good or bad?

"At that time, the Song Dynasty still had the south to do something about, so why did it have to go out of the city to die?"

Later, Zhao Gou simply ran to the south, and after many difficulties, he established a small dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, which lasted for a long time.

Zhao Xu said seriously: "Dad, by then, the north will inevitably be corrupted. Even if you go to the south, you will still be struggling. Then how can the emperor have the nerve to meet the people of the world? Besides..."

He raised his head slightly, and a burst of vitality burst out, and he said proudly: "Dad, the Song Dynasty is prosperous, but the Liao people are indulging in enjoyment, and there will definitely not be such a day!"

At this moment, Han Qi thought of the emperors of the Song Dynasty. After thinking about it, in terms of vigor and courage, he was afraid that none of them could compare with the king in front of him.

If nothing unexpected happens, this great king will rule the Song Dynasty for decades. By then, will the Song Dynasty be as prosperous as he said?

Han Qi looked at Zhao Shu, who was stroking his beard and smiling, and then at the energetic Zhao Xu. He felt a wave of pride surge into his heart and said, "At that time, if I am still here, I will definitely go into battle with my sword and kill You Yan." Cut it off!"

Zeng Gongliang said reservedly: "When I was in the southwest, I killed one person with my own hands, but now that I think about it, it's far from enough!"

Old Han, I have killed enemies before, what about you?

Han Qi glanced at him and said disdainfully: "I have commanded thousands of armies..."

When Zhao Shu saw the quarrel between them, he smiled and said, "Shen An said before that if the enemy troops attack the city, the military men should die, and the civil servants should also die..."

Shen An's hidden words, "Emperors deserve to die," were spoken out by Zhao Xu, which made the young man's ambition even more intense.

Zhao Shu was in a good mood, and it happened that Zhang was here for eight years.

"Is the Imperial City Secretary confident that the gunpowder workshop will be moved outside the city?"

"Outside the city?" Zhang Baibian said: "Your Majesty is wise. There are many benefits to moving outside the city. The Imperial City Department will definitely use their lives."

Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "It's not about risking your life, but you have to guard it, otherwise... you won't be able to understand your hatred even if I am cut into pieces with a thousand swords!"

Zhang Baba was horrified and said, "Yes, I swear to protect the workshop to the death!"

Zhao Xu asked: "There shouldn't be many craftsmen who hold secrets, right?"

Zhang Ba8 said: "Not many, just two, and they are old craftsmen."

Zhao Xu said: "Give them more money, but they can't go out... Unless the Song Dynasty restores Youyan, they can't go out of the gunpowder workshop!"

This is a somewhat cold decision, but it is the safest decision.

Zhang Baibian glanced at Zhao Shu, who nodded.

"Yes, I accept your order."

…

Yang Zhuoxue's belly still didn't show her pregnancy. After Shen An went to the northwest, Wang Yu and Su Shi would come over from time to time to see if there was anything going on at home, which could be regarded as a favor.

"sister in law!"

Zhe Kexing didn't talk much. Today he came with more than ten burly men, all of them fierce.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Yang Zhuoxue asked someone to get tea.

"No more drinking."

Zhe Kexing glanced at Zhuang Laoshi and asked, "Has anyone in the family been dishonest recently?"

Zhuang Laoshi smiled bitterly, thinking that if you take turns watching, even if there are unruly slaves, you won't dare to cause trouble!

Wang Yu is so smart that people feel that nothing can be hidden from him, Su Shi is bold and righteous, Zhe Ke Xing does not beep, he just attacks whoever dares to beep...

Zhao Xu in the palace also sent people to take a look from time to time. Who in the Shen family dared to be dishonest?

Yang Zhuoxue said with a smile: "That's good. You guys came just in time. Ermei got some mutton soup. Let's have a bowl each before we go back."

"good."

"Brother Zhe!"

Guoguo came, followed by Huahua, and they had a tacit understanding of each other.

Huahua stared at the big men behind Zhe Kexing, whimpering threateningly in her throat.

"Flower!"

Guoguo leaned over and touched the top of its head, then avoided its tongue and laughed.

"Is Madam Shen here?"

There was a shout from outside, the door was open, and a woman came in, but she was the female official who had been to the Shen family last time.

"Hey! It's you! But does your Majesty have anything to say?" Aunt Chen recognized the female official, UU Reading www.uukanshu. netｔ then introduced him to Yang Zhuoxue in a low voice.

Those big men were a little embarrassed, and their original fierce aura was a bit out of place before the female officer's softness.

The female official Fu Shen said: "Congratulations, Madam. Shen Daizhao has made great achievements in the government. Madam ordered me to send medicinal materials, and..."

Guoguo's eyes widened at the side, feeling that the female officer was very impressive.

The female official looked at her with a smile: "I still have something for you..."

Guoguo said happily: "Has brother made any meritorious service?"

"Yes, Shen Daizhao has made great achievements. Congratulations, little lady."

Guo Guo said happily: "I knew that my brother would perform meritorious deeds. Whose leg should I break this time?"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The third update is here, good night.
