Enko in the first year of Shaosheng ended in an orderly manner among the eyes.

The imperial court's battle to grab people was also launched and entered a white-hot heat.

The yamen at all levels of the court urgently needed manpower, especially the fresh blood of young people. Even if Zhao Xu set the tone and divided the whereabouts of these people, there are still many operational details.

Some chief officials personally came to the scene to grab people in the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, the Sixth Ministry, the Imperial College, the Dali Temple, the Censorate, etc.

Except for Yijia, especially the sensitive Meng Tang, the other three hundred people were almost divided.

Faced with this situation, Lin Xi, the Minister of Personnel, could no longer sit still, which really disrupted the plans of the Ministry of Personnel and had to refuse the requests of various departments.

The departments have no selfish intentions, and they are completely for the sake of official business, and argue with this Lin Xianggong with confidence, asking the Ministry of Personnel to go through procedures and release people.

In this case, several people from the Zhengshi Hall were not easy to talk to and started to practice Tai Chi.

In the end, this battle to grab people turned into a lawsuit against the emperor.

Zhao Xu didn't expect that it was really a waste of effort to appease these important officials and arrange the future of the scholars of the current corps.

The first year of Shaosheng, early March.

The Chakong Hall.

Zhang Dun, Zhang Feng, Cai Bian, Wen Yanbo, and Wang Cun sat down with their arms upright.

Zhao Xu was also straight, and there were three letters of national letters on his table, from Liao, Xixia and Tubo.

Zhao Xu picked up the Liao Dynasty's letter and read it carefully again.

The Liao Emperor's opening was very old-fashioned, and enthusiastically praised Zhao Xu, whom he had never met, and his praise was beyond words. In the middle, he reviewed the history of friendly exchanges between the two countries and talked about the wise kings of the two countries, especially Emperor Renzong of Song. In the end, he was "happy to see the sword and avoid disasters."

The attitude of the Emperor of Liao can be seen from this letter of national writing written by himself. They were not interested in the extremely enthusiastic "mutual trade" of the Song Dynasty. Even if they gave in to the Song Dynasty on border issues, the "mutual trade" was not relaxed at all.

Zhao Xu looked at it, shook his head secretly in his heart.

If Liao Kingdom could agree to the trade, it would definitely be a huge benefit for the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, Liao Kingdom was not a fool.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Xu looked up at Wang Cun and said, "Wang Qing's family goes deep into the tiger's den, and is brave enough to resist the Khitan, and not fall into the majesty of our Song Dynasty. I am deeply pleased and appreciate it!"

Wang Cun had already washed up and could not hide his dusty look. He quickly stood up and raised his hand and said, "I don't dare to take it."

The reason why Wang Cun went to Liao Kingdom was that Zhao Xu punished him for "resisting the new policy". He had no intention of returning alive. At that time, Xiao Tiancheng was just killed by Zhao Xu.

Wang Cun came back alive, so now he is more cautious than ever.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dun again and said, "Grandpa, what do you think?"

Zhang Dun said: "We have known in advance that the attitude of the Liao Kingdom is nothing more than waiting for this letter of nationality. The Liao Kingdom does not want to fight, and we are not suitable for fighting, so let's put it in place for now. Please write a letter of nationality to give back to the Liao Kingdom, and have established peace on the border of the Liao Kingdom."

Zhao Xu's expression remained motionless, and he looked at Zhang Qing and said, "Zhang Qing's family?"

Zhang Qi turned sideways and said, "The officials and officials have arranged the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and carried out strict infiltration and surveillance of the Liao Kingdom to ensure that they are not cheating."

Zhang Feng was "judging things on the matter", adhering to his principle of "not participating in the government affairs" and did not express his opinion.

"Wenqing's family?" Zhao Xu looked at Wen Yanbo again.

Wen Yanbo was dissatisfied and thin. He moved and said to Zhao Xu: "Officials, I believe that even if the Liao Kingdom wants to reconcile, our Song Dynasty needs to maintain pressure on the Liao Kingdom. The troops in the north should not be withdrawn too far. We also need to constantly remind the Liao Kingdom and the existence of our Song Dynasty army."

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wen Yanbo, and reached out to pick up the teacup beside him.

Cai Bian also looked at Wen Yanbo with some surprise. This old husband didn't even persuade him to stop the army?

Immediately, Cai Bian felt moved and said, "The officials, the officials, think that the navy can move."

Zhao Xu slapped his mouth while drinking tea, looked up at Cai Bian, with a strange look on his face.

"good!"

Zhao Xu put down the teacup, looked at Zhang Xi, and said, "Mr. Zhang thinks?"

Zhang Qi showed his thoughts on his face and said for a moment: "I think it's OK."

Zhao Xu said: "Okay, before I leave the capital, I will order Guo Cheng to lead the navy north and go north along the peninsula. If necessary, fire the artillery fiercely!"

Wang Cun hesitated and said, "The official family, the navy was originally a surprise weapon. If the Liao Kingdom knew about it, and followed the newly established naval army, it would be... not worth the loss."

Zhao Xu smiled more and said, "I'm afraid I won't build it. If he builds it, I have to help you! Simply put, the Liao Kingdom should not cultivate and rest. It should be a military force and fight every year! As for their new navy, it's futile, and sometimes they cry."

Seeing this, Wang Cun didn't say anything more.

Seeing that they stopped talking, Zhao Xu picked up the letter of the Chinese nation of Li Qianshun of Xixia.

Li Qianshun's letter of state is relatively "respectful". First, he talked about the relationship between the Liao Kingdom and the son-in-law of the Western Xia, and clarified that the Song Dynasty was the sect leader of the Western Xia. Then he apologized for guilt in a vague way, asking for "considering the people's livelihood as a thought, hoping for peace for all ages."

There is also a gift list for tribute, in addition to gold, silver and silk, there are also three hundred cattle and sheep.

"Li Xia, what do you think?" Zhao Xu picked up the tea cup that he had just failed and drank tea again.

Cai Bian glanced at Zhang Dun and said, "The official family is still necessary to exist, and it cannot be destroyed for the time being, otherwise the Liao Kingdom will inevitably turn the gun head. For me, the harm is more than the advantage. I think, let's ignore it for the time being, and wait until the reforms in our Song Dynasty are slightly stable, and we will launch a strife to attack again!"

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, suddenly looked at Wen Yanbo again and said, "Wenqing's family?"

Wen Yanbo leaned on a crutch and leaned slightly and said, "Officials, I believe that Lu Huiqing was attacking Tubo on Chengdu Prefecture Road. Li Xia and Tubo have always had grudges, and they were on the side of Tubo, so they could order Li Xia to attack first from the side. If they follow, they would be very profitable. If they don't follow, they would confirm that Li Xia was not a minister and could be attacked at any time."

This time it was not just Cai Bian, but even Wang Cun gave Wen Yanbo a strange look.

Zhang Dun looked back at Wen Yanbo, and looked at Cai Bian calmly.

They have been back to the court for two years. After spending a long time with the young official in front of them, they would not be able to notice it. Wen Yanbo's words are too similar to the methods of this official!

In fact, Zhao Xu was also surprised. Could this old thing become a roundworm in his belly?

Zhao Xu put down the teacup and said, "Okay. Just do as Wenqing's family means. Now, Tubo?"

There are three letters of nationality, and several people present have read them.

Compared with the Liao Kingdom, Xixia and Tubo are the least in the eyes of the Song Dynasty.
