Zhao Xu seemed not to hear Wang Cun's words, frowned and said, "By the way, Thirteen called here too."

"Yes." Tangerine peel responded.

Everyone in the hall looked at Zhao Xu with a puzzled look on his face and said about Zhang Dun, but why did he suddenly contact Zhao Quan and Zhao Si?

But no one spoke.

No one can resist the official family in front of you in the Song Dynasty.

Not long after, the six-year-old Zhao Quan and twenty-year-old Zhao Si came.

"Father/Official Family." Both of them came in, each with doubts.

Zhao Si is already an adult, tall and big, with a soldier-like temperament on his face.

Zhao Xu looked at the two of them and said, "You two, go in person and invite the grand grandfather into the palace."

"Yes." Zhao Quan responded directly.

Zhao Size was not understanding and said, "Okay."

"Let's wait." Zhao Xu looked at Cai Bian and others and said. He held the teacup and didn't drink it, but was still thinking in his heart.

Zhang Dun was willing to belittle himself, and he had decided to leave. So, he had to consider how to fulfill this friendship between the king and the minister.

When Cai Bian and others saw Zhao Xu summoning Zhang Dun, they all held their breath and stopped talking.

It took more than half an hour to go Zhang Dun to be taken into the palace.

"My minister Zhang Dun, please see Your Majesty." Zhang Dun, who was old and gray-haired, raised his hands to salute.

Seeing that he called "Your Majesty", Zhao Xu's legs were trembling and he could no longer stand straight. Zhang Dun, the heroic young man who helped him force Empress Dowager Gao to withdraw the curtain and return to power in Zichen Hall.

Zhao Xu sighed softly in his heart, walked forward, pulled his hand, and said, "Sit down."

Zhang Dun hesitated for a moment and sat down on the chair.

Zhao Xu kept holding Zhang Dun's hand, looking at his old expression, pondered, and said, "I have read this memorial, why should you do this?"

When Zhang Dun saw that Zhao Xu had seen through it, he was about to get up.

Zhao Xu pulled him and refused to let him get up. He felt depressed. He glanced at Cai Bian and others and said, "I told you to your family back then that the king and ministers would not doubt each other and would not let each other down. I would not expect this sentence."

Zhao Tingzhi, Wang Cun and others lowered their heads and pricked their ears.

Zhang Dun had a expressionless face and a silent expression.

Zhao Xu took a deep breath and said, "Since your family has decided to leave, I cannot force you to stay, but my request cannot be rejected."

Zhang Dun bowed and said, "I listen to the holy teachings."

Zhao Xu said directly: "First, I was given a elixir of alchemy and iron voucher for Zhangfu, which was not a crime. Second, I was given a first-class Duke and his family, and they were inherited from generation to generation. Third, I was given a ancestral temple. Fourth, I was given a prince and a royal prince escorted back home..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. What a courtesy!

As for Wang Cun and Zhao Tingzhi, the word "Crown Prince" that Wang Cun and Zhao Tingzhi care about, you must know that the prince has not been established yet!

Zhang Dun forced himself to get up and raised his hand and said, "Officials, ministers..."

Zhao Xu pressed his hand and said, "That's it."

Zhang Dun looked at Zhao Xu's unquestionable expression, and his face, which had always been calm, couldn't help but twitch, his eyes were red, and he slowly knelt on the ground, knocking his head to the ground without saying a word.

Zhao Xu breathed a long sigh in his heart, stood up weakly, walked outside, and said, "Cai Xiang will do the rest."

At this moment, Cai Bian was promoted to the right and became the new prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

"I received the order!" Cai Bian responded with excitement.

The others had their own expressions and remained silent.

In the sixth year of Shaosheng, on January 21, Zhang Dun retired and was escorted out of the capital by the crown prince Zhao Quan and the Yongwu prince at the same time until they returned home.

In early February of the same year, Privy Councilor Zhang Shi retired and was escorted back to his hometown by the Prince of Yongwu.

In the seventh year of Shaosheng, Zhang Dun passed away and Zhao Xu was dismissed for fifteen days.

In June of the same year, Zhang Qi died of illness and Zhao Xu stopped the court for ten days.

...

In the seventeenth year of Shaosheng, early May, night.

Privy Council.

Zhao Xu sat in the main seat, with the crown prince Zhao Quan on the left, followed by the Yongwu County Prince Zhao Si, the Minister of War Guo Cheng. The right-hand priest Li Qingchen, the Privy Councilor Xu General, and the Privy Councilor Li Gang.

Zhao Xu put a letter of nationality next to him and said with a smile: "Wanyan Agu has established the country, and he still wants us to attack Liao together. What do you think?"

Zhao Si, who was over thirty years old, said directly: "Official family, I have been in the heart of Liao for five years. I know that Liao is weak and the Liao emperor is stupid. I don't have to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom. Give me 100,000 and I will destroy the Liao Kingdom!"

Everyone looked at him and smiled silently.

This brave prince was really bold. He secretly ran to the Liao Kingdom, went deep into the hinterland, and pulled up a rebel army. He actually defeated many generals of the Liao Kingdom and once attacked the Western Capital of Liao Kingdom.

If it weren't for the encounter with Zong Pu, who was discovered by Zong Pu, reported to the court, and was urgently recalled by Zhao Xu, he would not know how long he would be in Liao Kingdom.

Zhao Xu laughed and said, "I am talking about this Jin Kingdom. What do you think?"

Xu General was already old, but he was energetic and more elegant. He heard this and said: "Officials and ministers believe that the Jin Kingdom was born with a young tiger, while the Liao Kingdom was an old lion in his late age. The dying lion is not scary. However, this young tiger that is about to bite the old lion to death must be vigilant."

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, looking at Li Qingchen and said, "Great Master?"

Li Qingchen had gray hair, but his waist was straight and his eyes were sharp. He said, "Officials, this young tiger should be vigilant, but destroying Liao is the most urgent task. Liao is no longer supported and cannot let Liao fall into the hands of the Jin people. I have been reforming the Song Dynasty for ten years and cultivated for ten years, just like when Emperor Wu of Han, the sword should be unsheathed!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu's eyes fell on Zhao Quan and said, "Crown Prince."

Zhao Quan is already seventeen years old and looks like Zhao Xu, but his temperament is very consistent with his mother, Empress Meng.

He bowed and said slowly: "Father, my son, think that you should sit in the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"The snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gains profit."

Li Gang, deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor, responded and said, "Officials, I think the words of the Crown Prince are very reasonable. My Song Dynasty is not in a hurry to get involved and let them fight. My Song Dynasty is to accumulate strength and wait for work. I give them a fatal blow to the winner, and to pacify Liao and destroy Jin!"

Xu Jiang glanced at Li Gang and frowned secretly.

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and muttered.
