"interesting."

Zhao Xu thought about it carefully for a while, and said with a smile on his lips: "Let them come in and let me see what tricks this Shangshu Xiao is going to play."

Chenpi responded, and was about to turn around, but turned back, hesitated and said, "Official family, do you want to notify the Green Tile House?"

Zhao Xu let out a hug and said with a smile: "I want you guys to know, please come here."

"Yes." Chenpi turned around and went out.

Zhao Xu picked up the cold tea beside him and took a sip. He felt cold and refreshed his spirit. He pressed his right hand on the official document in front of him, patted it gently, and thought in his mind.

Xiao Tiancheng didn't know what he had done in Beijing a few days in advance, but suddenly came to Zhao Quan. Was it a whim or had been planning for a long time?

Zhao Xu tends to the latter, so what is Xiao Tiancheng going to do?

The wars between Song and Liao were already open, and it was nothing more than the chaos in Liao. The Song Dynasty was busy innovating. If one side settled the country first, then the war would be a matter of timing.

Both sides know it well, so taking the opportunity to weaken each other is a tacit task for each other.

So, what exactly should Xiao Tiancheng do? Is there anything to use Zhao Quan?

Zhao Xu slowly pondered, frowned unconsciously, then smiled again, and said to himself: "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is just a way to make you laugh."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, Xiao Tiancheng, who was tied up in tightly, was dragged in and threw it to the ground.

Xiao Tiancheng lay on the ground, struggled to raise his head, looked at Zhao Xu who was high above, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, isn't this too rude?"

Zhao Xu was taking the hot tea that the palace maid had changed, and looked at him with a smile, saying, "How much money is there on the ground? Xiao Shangshu, is he giving such a great gift?"

Just as Xiao Tiancheng was about to speak, he heard the sound of a stick hitting the ground. Zhao Quan walked in quickly.

When Zhao Xu saw it, he said, "Hold Lao Jiu and bring the stool over."

Zhao Qi took a few steps, judged Zhao Xu's location and distance based on his voice, kowtowed directly, and said loudly: "The official family has no thoughts, please give a clear understanding."

Zhao Xu looked at him, shook his head, sighed, walked out of the table, came to him, held his arm with both hands, and said, "Get up and talk."

Zhao Quan knelt down and said, "I dare not."

Zhao Xu tried hard, pulled him up, stood opposite him, and said, "Can you and my brothers stand this little bit of rumors?"

Zhao Quan was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Xu pulled him, pressed him to the stool next to him, and said, "Sit with peace of mind. Xiao Tiancheng has ulterior motives, don't be fooled."

Zhao Qi was relieved and bowed and said, "Thank you for the official family."

Zhao Xu comforted Zhao Qi, then turned around and looked at Xiao Tiancheng, who was still lying on the ground, looked down at his side face, and said with a smile: "Shangshu Xiao suddenly took action. I think it was because the Liao Kingdom had made a free move. I want to teach me a lesson?"

Xiao Tiancheng looked motionless, tilted his head and squinted his eyes, and looked at Zhao Xu with great strength, saying, "Your Majesty is indeed wise. If you are early next year, you will be in spring and in summer and autumn, you will definitely send troops! Your Majesty, the last time was the Chanyuan Alliance, and this time was the city alliance."

Zhao Xu laughed out loud, stepped on Xiao Tiancheng's face with one foot, walked over and returned to the table.

Xiao Tiancheng felt a pain on both sides of his face, and there was a burning feeling. His eyes flashed coldly, and he looked up at Zhao Xu, and said with a louder laugh: "Your Majesty, are you angry and embarrassed? You are not ready yet, and you are afraid of my Daliao in your heart. You are fighting hard on the outside and you are forcing me."

Zhao Xu picked up the tea cover, blew gently, and said, "You are wrong. I am not afraid of Liao, but I want to win the greatest victory at the lowest price. If the Liao Kingdom can be cut to the weakest, why not do it? As for what you said, war will start next year, I don't believe it. Secondly, I have a way to prevent you from driving."

Xiao Tiancheng had footprints on half of his face, stammering his neck, looked up at Zhao Xu and said, "I know, you informed the rebels last year, so that they could break through. I guess you have already hooked up now, so what? My Great Liao army is one million, and there is no fear of a small civil strife. The army heading south is enough to flatten the Kaifeng city!"

"If you have the courage, try it!"

After Xiao Tiancheng finished speaking, Zhang Dun appeared at the door and said in a deep voice.

Behind him, Cai Bian and Wen Yanbo came in one after another.

Xiao Tiancheng looked back with some difficulty, and saw that it was Zhang Dun, and immediately said, "Grandpa Zhang, do you have a minister of the Song court? I suggest that your Majesty be appointed as a crown prince as soon as possible? I heard that your queen has given birth to the eldest son of the emperor, isn't that just right?"

Cai Bian's face changed suddenly as he heard this.

Zhang Dun also paused, and then he saluted Zhao Xu as usual, saying, "I will meet the official family."

Cai Bian was secretly shocked and followed him to salute.

Wen Yanbo's old face did not move, and the last one raised his hand and bowed.

Zhao Xu's smile remained unchanged, and he waved his hand to Zhang Dun and others, looking at Xiao Tiancheng and said, "Shangshu Xiao, what you said will cause a disaster."

Zhang Dun stood beside him, with no expression on his serious face and his eyes as calm as abyss.

Cai Bian felt uneasy in his heart, his eyes kept sweeping across Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun's face.

Wen Yanbo was hunched over, his old face was thin, and he was not in any mood.

Zhao Quan was tense and did not dare to breathe.

He is not a fool, and he sees the struggles in the government and the country. He only hates that he is blind, not deaf.

Xiao Tiancheng lay on the ground, turned his head again, stared at Zhao Xu and said, "Your Majesty, I will ask you, this prince, do you dare to stand up?"

"presumptuous!"

Zhang Dun shouted loudly and kicked Xiao Tiancheng in the side face.

With a click, Xiao Tiancheng's body was almost kicked over, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Tiancheng laughed, but didn't continue to say that he was just laughing.

Cai Bian felt very uneasy and looked alert.

He couldn't understand what was going on. Xiao Tiancheng was willing to commit suicide, and his purpose was very simple to alienate the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

The outside world has always believed that Zhang Dun was deeply favored by the holy family, and has repeatedly promoted his titles and monopolized the power. In fact, people inside can clearly feel that there are more and more differences between the official family, the grand minister and the "New Party", and there is a tendency to be irreconcilable.

The officials made many proposals that were not acceptable to the government and the opposition, including their "New Party". The officials repeatedly suppressed them, and they could only take them one by one.

The matter was borne by it, but the rift between them and the official family was constantly expanding.

There was a rumor that the officials wanted to abandon Zhang Dun and the "New Party".

This is not groundless!

"Capitalizing a Crown" is the foundation of the country. No one will object. The state has inherited it and the world is at ease.

However, this "Crown" was unacceptable to the government and the people, especially the reformists, and was unacceptable to it. It was the origin of Empress Meng!

Zhang Dun cannot accept it, Cai Bian cannot, and the entire "New Party" cannot!

Cai Bian lowered his head and looked at Zhao Xu.

In fact, there were sporadic rumors in the palace that the officials wanted to establish a prince, but in the end they did nothing. They just thought it was a trick of someone who was determined.

But if the officials really want to make Zhao Quan the crown prince, they firmly disagree. How will this matter develop and evolve?

Cai Bian recalled the various past light and dark conflicts between them and Zhao Xu, and panic appeared in his heart.

The officials will continue to be stubborn, the monarch and the ministers will eventually break, and will the reformists be swept out of the court again?
