Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 491 Crusade against Xixia!

Wu Zhi told Song Huizong about it.

Song Huizong was shocked when he learned of this incident.

Someone wants to assassinate his minister?

He didn't dare to imagine if Wu Zhi was not in the court, who would he count on for the future development of the Song Dynasty.

Yes, for Song Huizong, he was fully expecting Wu Zhi to lead the Song Dynasty to prosperity.

Without Wu Zhi's mind and a series of operations, he simply doesn't have this ability.

Therefore, Song Huizong cannot do without Wu Zhi, unless he does not want to change the Song Dynasty, but as an art emperor, although he is obsessed with art, if he can enjoy the benefits, there are more intelligent people to help him prosper the Song Dynasty, Wouldn't that be better?
As an official, who doesn't want the people in the world to call him Mingjun and Shengjun?
Even if all of this is due to Wu Zhi!

Wu Zhi must have nothing to do, no matter from Da Song's point of view or a personal point of view.

Song Huizong didn't want anything to happen to Wu Zhi.

So Song Huizong was very angry after hearing about this incident, and his face turned pale with anger.

No one needs Wu Zhi more than him!
Song Huizong immediately said angrily: "Xixia's assassination of the prime minister of the Song Dynasty is simply audacious. It seems that Xixia taught me a lesson last time, but why did they assassinate you? Could it be..."

Wu Zhi said slowly: "Your Majesty also thought of it, it should be about paper money!"

Song Huizong: "The paper money of the Song Dynasty is exchanged for their gold and silver. They are unwilling to circulate currency, so they want to resist and start a war with the Song Dynasty?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "That's what they mean. Although we can restrict them to a certain extent when we promote paper money, Xixia can also benefit. Taking a step back, if they maintain cooperation with Da Song, Da Song may not do anything to them." , since they toast and don’t eat fine wine, then simply destroy the country and promote paper money.”

Wu Zhi's idea is very simple, it would be fine if he cooperates, and even if he doesn't cooperate, don't make these small moves. Wu Zhi may not do anything to Xixia now.

Because Da Song has to manage and rectify a lot of things, he is really not in a hurry to deal with Xixia.

There is still room for detente on both sides.

Now Xixia sent assassins to assassinate him again, and did such a stupid thing, Wu Zhi must not let them have a good time.

It's okay to threaten yourself, but now even his wife and brother have to do it, it's simply unreasonable.

Song Huizong's proposal to Wu Zhi actually made him excited. Song Huizong originally hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would become more and more extensive, and it would be great if Xixia could also join the Great Song Dynasty.

Both of them think on the same line.

Song Huizong smiled and said: "Wu Aiqing, you have a good idea. I support you. If Xixia is so bold as to assassinate the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty, you must teach him a lesson and destroy them directly! Anyway, Wu Aiqing, you can even destroy the Kingdom of Jin. You are mere Xixia What's the deal?"

Song Huizong now has great confidence in Wu Zhi's fighting.

Once the two of them discussed it, they decided on this matter.

Before that, it is necessary to announce it early, follow the procedures, and discuss countermeasures at the general level.

The next morning.

Song Huizong talked about this in the court.

There was an uproar.

Although many courtiers were secretly happy, they were also lamenting that it failed.

If it succeeds, Wu Zhi would have no chance to use the new method.If the money that cheated them last time was paid with their lives, they would feel better.

I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it out of my mouth.

Of course, externally, they still speak righteously.

"Your Majesty, Xixia sent people to assassinate the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty. This matter is very important. What are they going to do? Why did they suddenly assassinate the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"The Western Xia thieves are ambitious. What are their intentions? I think they want to attack the Song Dynasty, so they want to get rid of the generals of the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty, anyway, the Song Dynasty has already wiped out the Liao and Jin countries. Simply, destroy Xixia as well." Already!"

Li Gefei stood up and said.

At this moment, Guo Feiming said: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty is now at a time when it is stable, and it is not suitable for war. Moreover, I believe that the assassination incident was caused by the promotion of banknotes!"

"The Great Song wants to promote banknotes. Xixia, Dali, and Tubo are not very willing to use our banknotes, especially Xixia and us have been in constant conflict. This time they are not willing, so they are ready to plan in advance! The reason is that Notes!"

Guo Fei obviously and secretly means that Wu Zhi asked for it.

Prince Zhao Heng also stood up and said a few words, roughly agreeing with Guo Feiming not to start a war.

He said: "Father, it is too hasty to capture Xixia now. It is not the time yet. Although Xixia was defeated before, they have recovered a lot after such a long time, and the battle between our Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom and Jin Kingdom is over. serious.

Moreover, if they are really forced to unite with several surrounding countries to attack our Great Song Dynasty, then Great Song Dynasty will fall into the target of public criticism. "

Zhao Heng's idea is very simple, he is not for the country and the people, he thinks Wu Zhi is being bullied by the Xixia people, if Da Song doesn't take action, let the Xixia people continue to torment, maybe Xixia will really be tossed by Wu Zhi .

Of course, he was only expressing his own opinion. Seeing that his father seemed a little dissatisfied, he immediately said: "Father, the Song Dynasty can attack Xixia and destroy their royal family, but it can retain the nature of Xixia as a subsidiary of our Song Dynasty. The surrounding countries have many advantages."

After Wu Zhi heard the prince's words, he smiled: "Prince, now Xixia is riding on our Song Dynasty, can we bear it? It was nothing before, but now the Song Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. Although it has gone through war, the Song Dynasty Still tyrannical, how difficult is it to deal with Xixia?"

"The prince is too timid! Unlike our current majesty, God is brave enough to dare to do it! Otherwise, Da Song would not be where he is today!"

As soon as Wu Zhi said this, Song Huizong laughed immediately. He liked to listen to the powerful words of Song Dynasty, and the prince obviously had a tone of enhancing others' prestige and destroying his own ambition.

Song Huizong looked at the prince: "Prince, learn from the military minister in the future. As a prince, how can you be indifferent to Xixia's move? You actually said such cowardly words!

Still according to what Wu Aiqing said, our Song Dynasty not only wants to fight, but also destroys the country! "

Song Huizong preferred Wu Zhi's strength. In the past, Song Dynasty was too weak and was often bullied by neighboring countries.

He was deeply impressed when he was a child, and now they are powerful in Song Dynasty, whoever provokes them, they will directly avenge the old and new enemies together!

Especially now that Song Dynasty has powerful weapons, sufficient troops, abundant food, and many talents, such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, even Song Jiang and others are good talents, and of course, Wu Zhi's younger brother.

These people are all good fighters, not to mention that there are military ministers in charge of the dynasty.

Now is the time to make a bold move, and the previous destruction of Liao and Jin made Song Huizong's heart swell.

He just wants to fight!
Zhao Heng's face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

At this time.

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "My lords, the promotion of banknotes is the top priority of the Song Dynasty. If it is promoted to the whole world, then people all over the world will use the banknotes of the Song Dynasty, which will further promote the economy of the Song Dynasty, and they will be constrained by the economy of the Song Dynasty.

The truth has already been discussed with His Majesty, and Xixia will be used as a knife to frighten the nations and let them use our banknotes! "

At this time, Yue Fei also said: "My minister also agrees to fight Xixia.

Xixia was originally a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. Now they assassinate the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and commit crimes above and below, which will definitely lead to other people who are unwilling to accept banknotes to follow suit. Not only to fight, but also to destroy the roots! "

"If something like this happens and you don't take action, it will be easy for them to form a joint confrontation. Therefore, attacking Xixia is a deterrent. Only when Xixia is destroyed, other people will not dare to act rashly. The promotion of paper money will go smoothly, and this The second time is the trouble they caused. We can't blame Da Song."

Wang Wei also stood up: "My minister also advocates the elimination of Xixia!"

"Without destroying them, Prime Minister Wu's banknotes cannot be fully spread. If Song Dynasty wants to become a powerful country in the world, it is also very important to grasp the core of the economy."

Li Gefei said again.

Of course, these people were not the ones who spoke, and the courtiers present each had their own opinions.

For Guo Feiming, the crown prince and the others, although they proposed a moderation opinion, they were not very against attacking Xixia.

why?

First of all, they were worried that Wu Zhi would make another contribution in attacking Xixia, which would make Wu Zhi even more serious.

But Wu Zhi went to attack Xixia, and they hoped that Wu Zhi would die on the battlefield.

Wars have always been cruel, even if the main general is not good, he will die.

So no matter which aspect they can support.

However, things still developed according to Wu Zhi's direction, and they were somewhat in conflict with each other.

As an official, Song Huizong also advocated fighting.

As an official, Song Huizong still received some spiritual indoctrination from his ancestors, that is, as an emperor, he would naturally have to make great achievements, such as expanding the territory and territory, and even if it is not good, the country must be stable.

Otherwise, how can I meet the ancestors when I get to the bottom?
If you have made some achievements, you can stand upright and say that you have expanded the territory of Song Dynasty.

The external expansion of the Great Song Dynasty is something that must be carried out, but Xixia has brought things forward.

Song Huizong and Wu Zhi both supported it, and the rest of them didn't particularly object to it. In fact, they opposed it, that is to say, it was useless.

After all, if Xixia provokes first, it makes sense to fight back.

So now the matter has roughly been decided, and then everyone began to discuss how to attack Xixia safely!
Song Huizong laughed and said, "What's Wu Aiqing's idea? How should Xixia fight, there must be a countermeasure!"

While Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was speaking, someone had already prepared an imperial decree, and Yuxi stamped the great seal of Yuxi on the imperial decree: "Now, I will appoint you as the general who will conquer Xixia this time! All civil and military officials will be assigned by you. Beat Xixia until the country is subjugated!"
