Chapter 6: The troops are at the city

In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Gao, and the three queens of the harem gathered together.

Empress Dowager Cao pulled Empress Dowager Gao and kept praising Song Shenzong as great as he became the saint of the Song Dynasty. She praised Song Shenzong as much as a flower.

Empress Dowager Gao listened respectfully, her eyebrows bloomed, and a magpies stopped on the tips of her eyebrows. Although Empress Dowager Cao was nominally the grandmother of Song Shenzong, she was not her own grandmother and poses the greatest threat to Song Shenzong. Since Song Shenzong ascended the throne, he has been trembling and afraid to go against Empress Dowager Cao's intentions.

Even for reform, Song Shenzong was also concerned about her and did not dare to let go of his hands and feet. Song Shenzong knew that more than half of the officials in the court were opposing reform and tried to destroy the new law, but he did not dare to touch them.

Today, it was reversed. Empress Dowager Cao kept praising Song Shenzong. As a mother, could Empress Dowager Gao not be happy? It would be even more rare to hear that Empress Dowager Cao really praised him.

Queen Xiang heard it, but it was strange in her heart. When did Empress Cao change her temper? She actually praised Song Shenzong like this. Although Song Shenzong is not the same as before, the throne is extremely stable, no one can touch him. Queen Cao doesn’t need to praise him like this, right?

Just as he was surprised, a thunderous cheer came, and it turned out that Yan Yun had recovered.

The revival of Yan Yun is a foregone conclusion, but it is just a difference between early and late. These days, people in the harem are looking forward to this big news. Finally, when the news comes, the harem immediately burst into a shocking roar, and the entire harem was in full swing. Whether it is eunuchs, palace maids, or concubines, they all cheer.

Regardless of their identities, nobility or lowliness, they are all Chinese children, and their desire to prosper China is the same!

"Haha! Did you hear it?" Empress Dowager Cao stood up, his eyes were particularly bright, and flowers bloomed on his face. He looked at Empress Dowager Gao and Queen Xiang, and said with a smile: "Yan Yun has recovered! I said that the official family is great and is the saint of the Song Dynasty. How about it? Haha, you are ready, the official family will come to welcome us soon and celebrate together!"

She raised her chest and raised her head, extremely happy.

Empress Dowager Gao saw it and suddenly realized that Empress Dowager Cao is now ruthless in Song Shenzong to participate in this kind of celebration. This is a major event in the Song Dynasty. If there is no celebration, no one would believe it.

With the stable throne of Song Shenzong, whoever he wants can participate, even Empress Dowager Cao is no exception.

Being able to participate in such a celebration is definitely a pleasure in life. After three years, I will be prepared and just wait for Song Shenzong to come and celebrate.

However, what surprised them was that they did not see Song Shenzong first, Song Shenzong second, and Song Shenzong third, which was a surprise. Empress Dowager Cao wanted to send someone to urge him, but when she thought that Song Shenzong's throne was now stable and had great power, it would be useless even if she urged him. Instead of doing so, just wait quietly, Song Shenzong would come.

Now she dares not to follow Song Shenzong.

The third queen waited quietly, and there was no sign of Song Shenzong. Empress Dowager Cao was wondering whether Song Shenzong was deliberately embarrassing her and deliberately doing so? You must know that over the years, she has been suppressing Song Shenzong. Song Shenzong wanted to neglect her and take a small revenge on her is not a problem.

The more she thought about it, the more she became more restless, and sent a eunuch to inquire about the news.

Not long after, the eunuch turned around in a hurry, with a look of panic on his face, which made Empress Dowager Cao's heart sink. Song Shenzong really want to take revenge on her? With what she had done, Song Shenzong was not a problem to throw her into the cold palace.

"Tell me quickly! What happened?" Empress Dowager Cao was extremely anxious and couldn't wait.

Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang saw it and couldn't help but feel very happy. She thought that Empress Dowager Cao's sword hanging on Song Shenzong's head was also today, which was considered retribution! This shows that Song Shenzong really controlled the situation in the Song Dynasty and had great power. One was Song Shenzong's biological mother, and the other was Song Shenzong's empress. Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang were very happy.

Of course, they did not express this joy.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, big things are not good! Big things are not good!" The eunuch hurriedly reported.

"What's the matter? You make it clear!" When Empress Dowager Cao heard this, she felt a buzzing sound in her mind and almost fainted. She was not Song Shenzong's biological grandmother. In the past, it was this relationship that made her have no scruples about Song Shenzong and became a sharp sword hanging over Song Shenzong's head, which made Song Shenzong worry a lot.

Now, this relationship has made Empress Dowager Cao worry. She is not her own grandmother. Song Shenzong has to settle the old accounts with her when he succeeds, and there will be no scruples. At this moment, Empress Dowager Cao only felt dizzy and regretful. If he had known this, he would not have suppressed Song Shenzong like this.

"Does the official family want to deal with the old man?" Empress Dowager Cao was shocked and desperate, so she had to ask. Tears burst out from her beautiful eyes, and she was heartbroken.

"Empress Dowager, how did you give birth? The little one is not talking about this!" The eunuch couldn't understand. What he was going to say was incompatible with Empress Dowager Cao. How could she think about her life in this way?

"Isn't this a matter? Really?" Empress Dowager Cao seemed to be happy when she heard the Tianyin Fairy Music. She looked at the eunuch with her eyes and urged, "Tell me quickly, what's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Report to the Empress Dowager..." The eunuch told the eunuch about what Song Shenzong did in the court one by one.

"Half of the ministers were knocked away?"

"The court is empty?"

Empress Gao and Queen Xiang were shocked and petrified directly.

The celebration of Yan Yun’s revival sounded like a tsunami, and Song Shenzong took action and cleared out the oppositions such as Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gongzhu. Who would believe it?

Not to mention, Song Shenzong was very serious and even cleaned up half of the ministers in one go, which has never happened since ancient times.

Empress Dowager Cao also petrified directly, opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak. Song Shenzong's move was beyond her expectations, and caught her off guard.

"The Empress Dowager, the official family is young and ignorant..." Empress Dowager Gao was the first to react. This was a huge matter. If Empress Dowager Cao was angry, it would be extremely unfavorable to Song Shenzong. He knelt down and pleaded for Song Shenzong.

"Wife, get up quickly." Empress Dowager Cao woke up, her face changed repeatedly, and finally had to calm down, help Empress Dowager Gao up, and said with a smile: "The official family is wise and powerful, defeated the Liao Kingdom and recovered the land of Yanyun. It is the saint king! The official family did the right thing! It is very right! Sima Guang is talented, but no matter how talented he is, it is useless to not contribute to the reform. It is better to just let him destroy the new laws in the court!"

She said this, but she thought sadly: "Now is different now, what else can I say? What dare I say? If I don't follow the official family, even if the official family is angry, no one dares to plead for me!"

Xixia, the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Division, is very close to the current Yulin area.

This is a strong city with a radius of more than ten miles. Xixia built this city to guard against the Liao Kingdom. Although Xixia colluded with the Liao Kingdom to resist the Song Dynasty together, they were intrigues and guard against each other.

The left-wing Shenyong Army Division has a high city and thick walls, with 20,000 troops stationed. It is the city closest to the east in Xixia.

The Xixia army stationed here is the elite of Xixia. Teams of Xixia army are brightly armored and patrolling the city. They are patrolling while whispering.

"The Khitans were really bad. They were defeated by the Song army so quickly."

"Is that called defeat? That was a crushing defeat! Yelu Hongji almost became a prisoner of the Song army. The Khitans could not be defeated more miserably this time!"

"Do you think Wu Ji has three heads and six arms? Otherwise, how could he have such great skills? He could have built so many Song troops in just three or two years to defeat the Khitans?"

"Wu Ji is a character. It is not entirely his contribution to the Song army's ability to fight! I have heard that Emperor Song has a vast land, a large number of people, and a lot of money. If he uses it properly, he will undergo earth-shaking changes in a short period of time. It is no wonder that the Song army has changed today!"

Although this soldier was vague, he was not very clear. It was said by others, which made a lot of sense. Wu Ji made great contributions to the Song Dynasty's achievements today, and it was Wu Ji's promotion. However, this was not entirely Wu Ji's contribution. Without the strong economic and technological strength of the Song Dynasty, the Song army would not have changed so much in such a short time, even if Wu Ji could do it.

The Song Dynasty was a deformed man with a highly developed economy and advanced technology, but it was in a military slump, and there was no army that could conquer and fight well. If the method was used to transform economic strength into military force, there would be earth-shaking changes in a very short time. Wu Ji played the role of a pusher, successfully achieving this goal.

"Why don't our Daxia take this opportunity to go to Yanyun to get some benefits?"

"Who doesn't want it? But we can't do it. Our army entered Shanzhou. If we go to Yanyun's land to get benefits, it will be fine if it angers the Song army? The Khitans were defeated so quickly, who dares to offend the Song army?"

The Song army fought in this battle and was famous, and the Xixia was very afraid. If the Xixia people had not taken the Song army seriously at all, even the powerful Khitans were defeated so quickly and so miserably, would they dare not be afraid?

"rumble!"

As he was speaking, a shocking sound suddenly came from a distance, and the ground was shaking, as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.

"What's the sound?"

The soldiers were surprised to hear it.

"It seems to be coming from the east. Could it be that the Song army came?" Some soldiers reacted quickly and guessed.

The soldiers of Xixia looked east and saw a surging sea tide surging, magnificent waves, surging down the city, with a stunning momentum and unstoppable momentum.

The tide is approaching, and the flags are waving, stretching like a painting, with a big word "Song" written on it.

"It's the Song army! It's the Song army!"

"The Song army is here! The Song army is here!"

The soldiers of Xixia immediately made a judgment, shocked, "Why did the Song army come to Daxia?"

"This is the first Song army to enter Daxia since the founding of Daxia!"

Just when the soldiers were shocked, some soldiers pointed to the front and screamed: "That's Wu Ji! That's Wu Ji!"
