Zhao Zhen changed the Yuan Dynasty to Huangyou, perhaps because he wanted God to bless the Zhao Song Dynasty, which had many disasters. However, in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, he encountered countless bad things, one after another, making them bigger and bigger and almost impossible to deal with.

From the breaking of Shanghukou in the first half of the year, Xia Shu died of illness, to the fact that refugees were everywhere in the second half of the year, finally entering the twelfth month, the Liao gangs led troops to loot, not to mention the famine in the south, as well as the rebellion of barbarians around them... all parties have fallen on the shoulders of this emperor who has just passed his forties.

Zhao Zhen was very tired and difficult to handle.

Especially the war between the Song and Liao dynasties became more and more intense, and the fear of Liao was aroused. The capital was shocked three times a day, and all kinds of news were flying everywhere. Today, it was said that Mr. Fan was killed in battle, and his body was still standing. He shouted that he would kill the thief. Tomorrow, Fan Zhongyan colluded with the Liao bandits and wanted to enter the capital and establish a new king. Someone pointed the finger at Jia Changchao, saying that Mr. Jia was in a position of corpse and had no way to respond, and should be dismissed immediately... Mr. Jia was so angry, what should I do? Don't be caught in the gun every time!

There were many disturbances and all kinds of messages, and there seemed to be countless mosquitoes in Zhao Zhen's ears, buzzing and screaming, making him restless and unable to come up with an idea.

"Parent Chen, has Mr. Song arrived in Beijing?"

The person Zhao Zhen asked about was Song Xianggong, the eldest son of Song. If he talked about this person, he was very famous. His original name was Song Jiao. When he participated in the imperial examination, his surname and country name were the same, and it was easy to have misunderstandings about the alternation of the Song Dynasty, which was very unlucky, so he changed it to Song Xiang. Perhaps because of the great fortune of changing his name, Song Xiang was ranked first, and thus became the third consecutive three-yuan winner since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

High education brings a high starting point, and Song Xianggong has been smooth sailing all the way and has been the prime minister. A few years ago, because his son made friends with bandits, Song Xiang was demoted from the capital and became the governor of Henan Prefecture.

This time the court was in a critical situation, and Song Xiang was transferred back to the capital and joined Tongpingzhang. It seemed that he was intending to enter the Western Prefecture and take charge of the army with Pang Ji.

There are also rumors that Song Xiang was launched because Xia Shu recommended it in the letter.

Both Song Xiang and Xia Su had opposed the Qingli New Policy, and this speculation was not groundless.

In short, it is unknown whether all gods and immortals gather in the capital, whether they are united in their hearts and virtues, to go to the national crisis together, or to deceiving each other and pull each other back.

Chen Lin strictly abides by the eunuch's position and bows to him, "Report to the saint, Mr. Song came to Beijing last night. I heard that he met Mr. Wen first, and then Mr. Wang went to find him. The two of them had talked for less than half an hour."

The Grandpa Wen was Wen Yanbo, while the Grandpa Wang was Wang Gongchen, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor. These three people were relatively conservative. Wen Yanbo became the prime minister and was straightforward to advise Zhao Zhen, who would not speak out for twenty years and shouted the slogan of 80,000 disarmament.

It is obvious what they would think about the Liao Kingdom.

Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a little regretful. He demoted Han Qi from the capital. Fu Bi was a silly bottle. He was successful in his work, but his combat power was only five. Pang Ji never formed a clique and was alone. The entire court was controlled by Wen Yanbo and others. Zhao Zhen was always a little unwilling to accept it. As the emperor, the supreme emperor, he was always arrogant in his inner self. When he met an enemy country, he lowered his head and couldn't argue...

"Panpa Chen and Fan Aiqing's side have not sent anyone to Beijing?"

From the name, Chen Lin smelled the difference. It seemed that His Majesty was more partial to Fan Zhongyan.

"I sent back to the saint, and the person who came was named Su Xun. I heard that he was just a chief clerk, and his official position was too low and he was not qualified to participate in the court discussion."

Zhao Zhen's face darkened and said dissatisfied: "The gods descended to earth to ask about the land, so the chief clerk is more suitable. Let him attend the imperial meeting and listen carefully to the court's opinions. I also want to ask for his opinions."

Chen Lin nodded quickly and went down to make arrangements.

Not long after, several husbands entered one after another, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Pang Ji, Song Xiang, and Wang Gongchen entered one after another, bowed to Zhao Zhen, and then gave him a seat.

Zhao Zhen took the lead in asking, "Grandpa Wen, the war in Hebei is like a fire, and the Liao Kingdom sent envoys again. How do you think you should deal with it?"

Wen Yanbo lowered his eyes and sighed, "Your Majesty, it's not my disgusting words that the court really can't afford a slight grain and salary. Half a month ago, the Ministry of Revenue borrowed 200,000 stones from the large households, of which 100,000 stones were sent to Hebei, and the other 100,000 stones were used as the salary of the Beijing officials. Finally, it made everyone celebrate the New Year. The court's finances are so difficult. I really have to bear the entrustedness of Your Majesty. I am guilty!"

Speaking of the emotional part, Wen Yanbo wiped the corners of his eyes. Zhao Zhen felt uncomfortable when he heard Wen Yanbo's crying, "Mr. Wen just entered Beijing, I can't blame you. It's all because I have no virtue and incompetence, and I have caused the people to suffer!"

Zhao Zhen was full of blame. Su Xun, who was standing at the end, looked at the emperor secretly. He was fair and rich, kind and kind, which was very consistent with the people's impression of the emperor.

But how could you know? If Fan Zhen hadn't messed around and had no need to borrow food, Hebei wouldn't have starved to death... Thinking of this, Su Xun's throat was itchy, throwing all the instructions of Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu out of the sky. He really wanted the emperor to know the truth and not be deceived by these husbands again!

With Wen Yanbo as the leader, Wang Gongchen and Song Xiang also spoke. Their meaning was almost the same, both the court was in trouble, so they must not raise troops.

Fu Bi calmly said, "If it weren't for my great Song Dynasty, why did the Liao bandits be arrogant and unreasonable?"

Wen Yanbo smiled slightly, "Then argue with reason. Give what can be given, and resolutely refuse what cannot be given!"

"Then Mr. Wen asked why can you give up and what can't you give up?"

"Of course, it is necessary to fight for every inch of land. As for the annual monies, the rich queen also added 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 pieces of silk when he was on a mission to Liao Kingdom that year?"

It is said that if you hit someone in the face, Mr. Wen is really cruel enough, and he suddenly hits Fu Bi's weakness.

In the second year of Qingli, because the Song Dynasty was defeated repeatedly in the northwest, the Liao Kingdom took the opportunity to blackmail and wanted to take away the land of ten counties including Waqiao. The Song Dynasty sent Fu Bi to the Liao Kingdom to envoy. Fu Xianggong made a generous speech and refuted the Liao Kingdom's request, only adding 100,000 silver and 100,000 pieces of silk.

At that time, it seemed that it was undoubtedly a diplomatic victory, but time had changed. After all, Fu Bi had increased his annual monies. As a moral gentleman, Fu Gong dared not refuse to admit it.

If you can do that, Wen Xianggong can do it naturally.

The five husbands, three of them agreed, and one was easily settled, and it seemed that the overall situation was decided!

My husbands think this way, but Zhao Zhen is unhappy. Could it be that he has to pay again?

What do you think of me as a treasury?

You are shameless, I am shameless!

Zhao Zhen was very upbringing and would not get angry with his prime minister, but his gloomy face showed anger, his eyes swept over and fell on Su Xun.

Lao Su seemed to feel the emperor's gaze, and raised his head, his eyes facing each other, crackling! Zhao Zhen read the strong anger and firm courage from Su Xun's eyes, and couldn't help but be excited!

"Su Qing, you have been in Hebei for a long time, experienced disaster relief, and learned about the invasion of the Liao Kingdom. What do you think?"

Su Xun burst into tears, Your Majesty, you have asked me!

Su Laoquan took a step, and there seemed to be flames burning all over his body. "I am not qualified to discuss state affairs. Thanks to Your Majesty's question, I am brave enough to say that I think it is appropriate to move the annual monies, but it is not an increase, but a decrease! I should take this opportunity to completely abolish the annual monies and eliminate the great shame and humiliation on my Song Dynasty!"

Wow!

Su Laoquan, who is so arrogant and unrestrained, is extraordinary when he takes action!

Wen Yanbo's eyes suddenly widened, then he narrowed his slits and was slapped in the face by a minor official in front of the emperor. His anger can be imagined.

However, Su Xun ignored it.

"Your Majesty, I am not talking nonsense, but I think it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Just now, all my husbands said that the difficulties of the Song Dynasty were in the Song Dynasty, but they did not know that the difficulties of the Liao Kingdom were far ten times more than that of the Song Dynasty. If they dared to move troops at will, they would be doomed!"

Wen Yanbo held his own identity and was unwilling to debate with Su Xun. He just glanced at Wang Gongchen, and Wang Gongchen immediately stood up.

"You are talking nonsense. Even if the Liao Kingdom cannot produce 200,000 cavalry, 100,000 troops can still be used. How can I deal with it?"

Su Xun laughed, "One hundred thousand men? This husband, do you know whose troops are in the Liao Kingdom?"

Wang Gongchen subconsciously shook his head.

Su Xun sneered: "The Liao Dynasty's troops can be divided into three parts. The strongest Pishi Army is in the hands of the Liao Lord, with about 60,000 or 70,000 people. The second is the 40,000 to 50,000 elite soldiers owned by the Xiao clan. The second is the soldiers and horses in the hands of Yelu Chongyuan, the crown prince of the Liao Dynasty. Although they are not as elite as the first two, they are in large numbers, mainly distributed in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, with more than 100,000!"

Su Xun said this and bowed to Zhao Zhen, "Your Majesty, Yelu Chongyuan was the younger brother of the Liao lord. After Yelu Chongyuan betrayed his mother, he assisted the Liao lord as the throne. The Liao lord was forgot about his feelings for the time being. He used the alcohol to grant Yelu Chongyuan the crown prince and promised to pass the throne to Chongyuan a hundred years later. In recent decades, the style of the Liao lord has changed drastically, and more princes and nobles, ministers and officials have supported the succession of their father and son. In addition, although the crown prince of Liao was young, he had some strategy. It is obvious that the Liao lord had already launched a battle between the crown prince and the crown prince for the throne, and both of them had tens of thousands of troops. At this moment, who dared to send troops easily?"

Su Xun liked to talk about military affairs, but in the past he used to talk about military affairs more on paper. Since he arrived at the Six Arts School, he has been influenced by the pragmatic style and what he said is even more meaningful.

"The Liao Kingdom is now a deadlock. He dispatched the army of the skin chamber. He was worried that Yelu Chongyuan would cause trouble and asked Yelu Chongyuan to send troops. He also took the responsibility of the Liao lord and his son to pull the back. If the Liao lord and Chongyuan sent troops together, the Xiao family of the rear tribe would not be able to cause trouble. The three families sent troops together, each with their own confidants. Even if there were millions of people, it was not worth mentioning!"

Su Xun was heartbroken and asked generously: "The Liao Kingdom has many crises, far better than the Song Dynasty. It is obvious that it is a false threat. I really don't know why my Song Dynasty is so cowardly. Is there no passionate man in the Song Dynasty? Why do you guys have the ambitions of others and destroy your own might as well?" History has gone to dust and said that I just calculated that the rewards are still worth two chapters, and there are two chapters that are scheduled to be updated. One monthly ticket, a total of five. The younger ones will pay the bill as soon as possible. Should you give some more exciting things to everyone!
