Gengzi (thirteenth) in April of the first year of Yuanyou.

After Zhao Xu finished his breakfast, he went to the Qingshou Palace.

Recently, he has been visiting Qingshou Palace more and more frequently, and his stay has been getting longer and longer.

Of course, this is a gradual increase.

The two palaces also adapted to this rhythm, and it felt like Zhao Xu was starting to cling to them.

This is normal!

No matter what the official (sixth brother) is, he is just a child.

It is very reasonable for a child to cling to his mother, his mother-in-law.

Seeing him coming, she immediately waved to the Queen Mother: "Brother Six is ​​here. The Queen Mother will show Brother Six something."

Zhao Xu sat down next to the two palaces obediently, blinking a pair of cute and innocent eyes: "What does the queen mother want to show to her son?"

It's just like when he was clubbing in modern times, those Yingying Yanyan who came to him said: "Brother, why are you drinking alone?"

The way Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu, the smile on her lips couldn't stop spreading. The Empress Dowager beside her even showed her aunt's smile.

The close mother-son relationship between Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Xiang sometimes really made her feel emotional.

She also wanted to have an emperor's son like this.

Unfortunately, the late emperor did not kiss her, but instead kissed Cisheng Guangxian, who was not related by blood.

This always bothered her.

Now, she sees in her daughter-in-law and grandson what she could not get back then.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager was greatly relieved.

Every time she watched the intimate interaction between mother and son, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

Empress Dowager Xiang handed a piece of memorial to Zhao Xu: "Brother Six, let's take a look."

Zhao Xu took it, looked at it in his hand, and said, "It's a memorial written by Scholar Fan's brother!"

On the head of the memorial, there is the title and name of the minister who wrote the memorial: Direct Bachelor of Longtuge, Shaanxi Transport Envoy Chun Chun.

There is no doubt that this is Fan Zhongyan's youngest son and Su Dabeard's closest friend, Fan Chunzhuang.

He hummed to the Queen Mother and said, "That's true."

Zhao Xu lowered his head and looked at it carefully, his eyes gradually brightened.

"What a great talent!" Zhao Xu praised after reading it, paws in his hands.

Empress Dowager Xiang also laughed: "Sixth Brother, do you think this is good too? Then the Empress Mother and the Grand Mother should use their seals to approve the proposal and try out their strategy on Fuyan Road, Huanqing Road and Jingyuan Road first."

Zhao Xu hummed, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that Zhang Kai is not the only one who has discovered the tactical loopholes and weaknesses of the party members."

"Fan Chunchun also vaguely noticed it in practice!"

Fan Chunchu's memorial is a memorial that analyzes and summarizes the Song and Xia wars in the past few decades.

After Fan Chun’s analysis and summary.

He finally grasped a key point - the various roads along the Song Dynasty seriously lacked cooperation when encountering enemies.

Soldiers and horses from all walks of life fight on their own.

The fortress in front was often isolated and helpless, cut and surrounded by the enemy.

Therefore, Fan Chunchuan suggested that the imperial court issue an order to select elites along the border and in the hinterland behind the first-line forts, and form mobile corps with cavalry and elite infantry as the core, and assign them to the second line to support the front line at any time.

In the village fortress, only defensive garrison troops are placed, relying on the fortified city and fortress to hold on.

At the same time, he also suggested simplifying the process of combat and rescue operations for various troops.

When soldiers and horses on one's own route learn that an enemy is encountered on a neighboring route, they can make a prompt decision and send out troops to rescue the enemy without going through the decree of the imperial court.

"Fan Chun's proposal has touched the threshold of Zhang Kai's later flexible defense!" Zhao Xu murmured to himself in his heart.

"It's true that heroes think alike!" he exclaimed with emotion.

It can only be said that after decades of tug-of-war and fierce fighting in the Song-Xia War.

The knowledgeable people in the Song Dynasty have begun to face up to the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves, and look for the problem.

Therefore, Zhang Kai's later flexible defense strategy was not his own wisdom.

Rather, since the Qingli period, countless famous ministers and generals have summarized it based on the failures and lessons, successes and experiences in the war.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu looked at the two palaces with a smile and said: "Mother, Queen, since Liu Changzuo has returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and the Yanyan Road Manager is vacant, why not appoint Minister Fan to be the Yanyan Road Manager?"

Envoy, order him to go to Yanyan Road to try out the strategies he discussed."

Empress Dowager Xiang immediately looked at the Empress Dowager, who nodded and smiled: "The official discussion is very good."

The Queen Mother has been in a very comfortable mood recently.

The main reason is that Zhang Dunnan Zhengtai gave her a lot of face.

The king's army was devastated, but within a month, the army marched directly to the Fuliang River, causing Jiaozhi to be horrified and bowed down.

Now, Jiaozhi has sent envoys to seek peace.

At the same time, Dali, Chenla, Champa and other countries were also frightened by this battle and sent envoys to the court one after another.

The fame of the Song Dynasty spread far and wide.

This makes the Empress Dowager's mouth slightly raise every time she thinks about it.

I stayed in court to listen to the government for more than a year, so I conquered Jiaozhi in the south and expanded the land thousands of miles away. Not only did I get all the land north of the Jiaozhi River, but I also asked the people of Jiaozhi to send envoys to sue for peace.

Dali, Zhenla, Champa and other countries were frightened and sent envoys to the court.

Did anything like this happen during the reign of the late Emperor?

It seems not.

Xining's southern expedition fell short of success, and the five-pronged expedition against Xia ended up wasting military expenses. The battle of Yongle City was a complete defeat.

But I only sent 5,000 people south, and achieved this result.

I am truly the number one mother-in-law of the Song Dynasty!

In the history of the future, we will surely be with the sages and empresses from ancient times.

So, the Empress Dowager said: "Just follow the official's wishes."

"After Liu Changzuo entered the court, he appointed Fan Chunchun as the envoy for the planning and pacification of the Yanyan Road!"

After talking about the affairs of the court, the Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Have you heard about the impeachment of the imperial censors recently?"

Zhao Xu blinked a pair of cute and innocent eyes, with a bright red face: "Sun Chen has been working hard on his homework recently and does not have much time to pay attention to the government. Please tell me clearly."

Do a full set of dramas.

After Zhang Dun captured Li Changjie alive, Zhao Xu began to enter the rhythm of "study hard and make progress every day".

In addition to studying in Jiying Palace, I also come to Qingshou Palace to accompany the two palaces.

Even when he arrived at the Qingshou Palace, he was still reading the book and taking notes carefully.

The main theme is one - I don’t know anything.

The Empress Dowager has no doubt that he is there.

This grandson's serious study was noticed by everyone.

He said: "Some reports came to Beijing from Guangxi, saying that Zhang Dun, the Guangxi economic envoy, captured Li Changjie, the pseudo-captain of Jiaozhi, but decided to kill him in Yongzhou without reporting to the imperial court..."

"This is against the laws of our ancestors."

Zhao Xu listened, held his cheek and thought for a while, then stood up and apologized to the Empress Dowager: "Sun Chen wants to apologize to the Empress Dowager."

"Um?"

"I don't dare to hide it from my mother-in-law. When Zhang Xianggong went south and his Majesty said his last words, Sun Chen once said something to him..."

"If we get Li Changjie, we will definitely kill him late to commemorate the soldiers and civilians who died in Yongzhou back then."

"How could Brother Six have such an idea?" Queen Mother Xiang was surprised.

Zhao Xu opened his sincere eyes with clear black and white, and said: "Reporting to my mother, when my father was alive, he once told his son that the massacre of Yongzhou in Jiaozhi was a regret in his life!"

"My father also said that if we can capture Thief Li, we will kill him in Yongzhou as a thank you to our subjects who sacrificed their lives for the country back then!"

The two palaces looked at each other and then both laughed.

"Since the late emperor has entrusted him, this thief Li should indeed be punished in Yongzhou!" said the Empress Dowager.

Queen Mother Xiang also agreed: "This is indeed the case!"

Today there is no nationalism and no national identity.

There is only a simple distinction between Huayi and Huayi.
