Zhang Dun listened silently and added: "I think it's okay for Zhang Qi to keep it. But you can't just keep it. Reforms will be launched next year. The Xia people's repeated attacks on the border will disrupt our reform rhythm and must hurt them!"

Zhao Xu felt relieved when he listened to the two of them and said, "What the two Qing families said is reasonable. The first step is that the court should prepare enough money and food to support it. It doesn't matter if this war lasts for a year or two. The most important thing is to let the Xia people understand that our Song Dynasty is not the same as before! At the same time, we must also enhance the confidence of domestic subjects and clear the depressed spirit!"

Xu General responded and then said: "Please issue an order, and the Political Affairs Hall issues a document to clarify the holy intentions of Huanqing Road and the surrounding five roads, and declare the will of the court. Then he ordered Zhang Jingluo and the generals of Huanqing Road to reward them to boost morale."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Dun said: "Please give your majesty a gold medal and order Xu Shangshu to be the imperial envoy to inspect Huanqing Fifth Route and enter the front line."

Zhao Xu glanced at Xu Jiang and said, "Accurate."

Xu Jiang immediately stood up and raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."

Zhao Xu raised his hand and pressed him down, signaling Xu Jiang to sit down, and then said, "Be prepared first. We should also take more precautions in the situation near Kaifeng City. Zong Ze should speed up, the river water has almost retreated, and the movement can be bigger. First, group 25,000 people, plus the 20,000 people in the front office of the Palace. Kaifeng City is not a big problem."

Now, there is no need to deliberately hide it from it.

Zhang Dun glanced at Xu Jiang, but he understood but did not expose it.

After Xu General sat down, he said, "I will go to see Commander Chu tomorrow. After the army is completed, I will disperse them and leave the city to lock down."

With so many foreign troops surrounding Kaifeng City, no one can feel at ease.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Let Chu You come back. By the way, the Xia people sent an envoy?"

Zhang Dun seemed to remember and said, "According to common sense, before the war begins, they will come to blackmail and threaten them. Now they should be entering the country soon."

Xu Jiang said: "First, I will try to get more time to prepare."

Zhao Xu refused to comment and said, "You can do it. In addition, don't interfere with the case of digging the Yellow River embankment, I will deal with it."

Zhao Xu was very worried about who the person who ordered the dike to dig the dike would be!

Xu General and Zhang Dun were not clear yet. Looking at Zhao Xu's expression, he thoughtfully said, "Yes."

Putting aside these matters, Zhao Xu and the two began to discuss specific details.

The news of the "Xia people attacked" spread throughout Kaifeng, and all kinds of complex problems were suppressed, and the focus shifted to dealing with the invasion of Xixia.

After all, it was the "Xia Empress Dowager, the emperor personally fought for the enemy', "300,000 troops", and "ambition in Kaifeng". These words are circulating, and people are afraid.

The boiling of the government and the country was also distracted by this incident.

Inside the Cining Hall.

The chief of the Prince Yan Mansion helped Zhao Hao sit up and said worriedly: "King, your bitter plan is too heavy."

Zhao Hao looked pale and weak, and the imperial doctor said he would take care of him for half a year.

Although he had a haggard expression, his eyes were bright. He sat by the bed, tidying his clothes, and chuckled, "How can he get out if he doesn't make up his mind?"

The chief minister brought him a cup of tea and said, "But the Empress Dowager seems unhappy. He hasn't seen the king for a few days. The official family has not taken back his life. The imperial guards are now extremely strict. The Empress Dowager cannot go out, and the people who come in are still severely investigated."

Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and said, "In the eyes of my mother, in the eyes of my eldest nephew, I am just a useless person who is smart and self-righteous. Isn't that great?"

The chief minister was stunned for a moment and could not refute.

Zhao Hao felt much more comfortable while drinking tea, and then smiled and said, "The official family used hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the Xia people. I guess the queen of the mother must be very angry, right?"

The chief clerk glanced outside and whispered: "Yes. The Empress Dowager is said to ask the officials to come to Cining Hall to see him, but Chen Pi blocked him from taking a nap from the officials. It seems that this is a fight."

Zhao Hao shook his head and sighed: "My eldest nephew is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers, but it may work in Kaifeng City. After all, he is the emperor of my Zhao family, and no one can resist him, but the Xia people don't recognize him, so wait. If Huanqing Road is defeated and the Xia people attack in, all the accounts will be settled."

The Changshi looked stern and silent.

If the Xia people broke through Huanqing Road and fought in, the world would be in full swing. Since this year, the court officials have been suppressed and angry, which is enough to tear the official to pieces!

Zhao Hao glanced at the Changshi and then said, "But, I have to say, my eldest nephew... killed the master's tutor. His random tricks have almost disrupted all my affairs. The officials in the court and the various armies are now checking the treasury, and the troubles are one after another..."

The chief said with some confusion as he heard this: "King, everyone else is controlling the water, or being transferred to other places. The whereabouts of Yun Jiejun are a bit strange, and many people can't contact you."

Zhao Hao looked surprised and said to himself: "Did they show off?"

The chief of the emperor looked a little angry and said, "They made a decision without authorization. If they reveal their strength, they will be a little trouble."

Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "No. Those of them are more willing to pay for their lives. What's more, it's such a big thing to dig out the Yellow River. I guess my eldest nephew doesn't know it yet. Even if he knows it, he can't find out anything."

The chief minister then felt relieved and then said, "King, we are trapped in the Cining Hall now and can't do anything. Sooner or later, more things will happen."

Zhao Hao looked outside the door, Xu General Xu shook his head and said, "It won't take long. The official family has been in the court for so long, and the mother has been unable to bear it anymore. This time, hundreds of thousands of troops fought with the Xia people. If the mother can still sit and watch, she will not be the mother."

The chief minister was shocked and said, "Now the official family has mastered the inside and outside Kaifeng City. What should the Empress Dowager do?"

Zhao Hao glanced at him and said, "Don't forget that my mother has gone through four dynasties. If she hadn't been ruthless enough, she wouldn't have the business of my good nephew. Look, my mother must have been waiting for the opportunity."

The chief of the emperor looked uneasy and said, "Master, will something happen to you?"

Zhao Hao smiled, then sorted out his clothes and said, "What can I do? Can my eldest nephew kill his ancestors?"

The chief minister looked at Zhao Hao with a smile, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

...

Zhao Xu and the Song Dynasty court were busy going to war with the Western Xia, but the voices of the government and the country were very different.

There are more and more voices opposing the war, and the memorial of "harmony is the most important, and the blessing of all people" floats into the political affairs hall like snowflakes.

Even some generals from the north also wrote letters, expressing their "worry" about the imperial court launching such a large-scale war, hoping to be "cautious".

Zhao Xu kicked the ball away with one kick and said loudly: "Cross."

Chen Pi suddenly felt a little moved: Is the official family waiting for this Hong Huan?

Not long after, Hong Huan came, wearing a regular dress, with a struggle and resolute expression on his face, kneeling on the side of the court with a thud, and shouting: "My minister, Hong Huan, asks the official to punish him!"
