Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Your Highness, the lower official came back just to assist His Highness, how can the lower official talk nonsense?"

Zhao Gou stopped talking, but the knuckles of the hand holding the teacup were a little white.

He was silent for a long time before he put down his teacup and said, "Even so, so what, this king works hard and never oversteps."

"Your Highness." Wang Boyan still had a smile on his face, "People are in the field of power and cannot help themselves."

"Can't help yourself?"

"Even the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has handled the relationship for you, and you are very good friends with you when you are in power. Countless people below are all from your King Kang."

"Nonsense! It's all for His Majesty's New Deal!"

"You think so, but they also think so?" Wang Boyan couldn't speak more clearly, "You can see His Majesty, and they can see Tianyan face to face? For many of them, His Majesty is too far away to let you Only when they are satisfied can they be promoted and get rich.”

Zhao Gou took a deep breath, every word of Wang Boyan pointed directly at Zhao Gou's heart.

This year, Zhao Gou was 26 years old.

A 26-year-old youth, after several years in politics, already has his own team.

However, Zhao Gou's starting point is still too high, and his background is too high.

He didn't understand what the people below were thinking.

Zhao Gou wanted to be an idealist under the influence and encouragement of Zhao Guan's family, but the people below might not think so.

"I don't care what they think, as long as they do their part well."

"Your Highness, you can't really know whether they have done their job well. The documents submitted can be whitewashed, but they are really your people, and more and more, they are already in court. Formed a force to be reckoned with and pushed you to the front."

Wang Boyan continued: "As long as your performance in the Annan Protectorate is good, someone will write a letter to His Majesty and make you the heir apparent in the next step."

"This king is not interested in the crown prince."

Wang Boyan couldn't judge whether Zhao Gou's words were true, and he didn't need to judge.

"It doesn't matter whether you are interested or not, but there are many people who are very interested in you being elected as the crown prince."

"why?"

"Some people want to sit in Zhao Ding's position in the future, some people want to become Shangshu, some people want to go to Beijing, and those who are lower down want to be promoted to magistrate."

"What should I do, should I resign?"

"No, no." Wang Boyan said, "I'm not saying this to ask His Highness to resign. Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. I just hope that His Highness can clearly understand the current situation. Only in this way can we do the next thing."

"What's next?"

"Naturally, it is to help the palace step by step to ascend to the position of crown prince."

Chapter 633 The Controversy Over Extinguishing Summer (Third Change)

Zhao Gou was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty has an heir, how can I let this king be the heir?"

"Your Highness don't need to speak too early. Now is not the time to question whether you can be the crown prince, but to do everything possible to appoint your own people and make more political achievements. Zhao Ding is a person with a public heart. As long as His Highness can make He will not sit idly by with more political achievements, and one of them can help His Highness."

"Who?"

"Qin Hui." Every smile line on Wang Boyan's face seems to say that Qin Hui is a treacherous minister, "Qin Hui is a very selfish person. He seems to be very close to His Highness, but in fact he is just using His Highness."

"Then who is Qin Hui loyal to?"

"Qin Hui is loyal to himself. When necessary, he can betray His Highness at any time."

"Then how to use Qin Hui?"

"People can come together because they have common enemies." Wang Boyan said concisely, "Qin Hui's enemies are very clear."

"Who is Qin Hui's enemy?"

"In the long run, Qin Hui's enemy is Zhao Ding. From the current point of view, Qin Hui's enemy is King Qi."

"King Qi?"

"The ex-prince was abolished, Qin Hui's contribution is indispensable, and in the recent battle of Koryo, I heard that King Qi has made a lot of contributions, and has been targeted by those who are interested. The future of King Qi is limitless, and there are people like Han Shizhong by his side. "

"You mean that King Qi can regain the crown prince?"

"The heart of heaven is unpredictable. We can't be sure about the future. All we can do is plan and push the situation in the direction that is most beneficial to us."

"You mean, unite with Qin Hui to deal with King Qi?"

"That's right, His Highness' purpose is not to deal with King Qi, but to better capture Qin Hui."

Zhao Gou couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "What's the next step?"

Wang Boyan said: "Haimao has been captured by Qian Yuqing, and behind Qian Yuqing is the Fifth Prince Zhao Chun. Therefore, the next step for His Highness is in the northwest."

The sky gradually dimmed.

The Northwest Victory News caused a great shock in the court.

Some time ago, the court was still arguing about what to do if Wang Shi stayed in Goryeo and fell into the quagmire of the Goryeo War, and the Xixia people took the opportunity to start a war.

Now, this good news proves the conjecture, and the Xixia people really jumped out to make trouble at this juncture.

However, the Xixia people's enduring ability does not seem to be good.

Early the next morning, as soon as Zhao Ning arrived at Wende Hall, a large pile of memorials appeared.

Zhao Ning glanced at Wang Huaiji curiously, and asked, "What's the matter with today's memorial?"

"It was all reported truthfully."

Zhao Ning picked it up and read a copy, which was about the situation in the Northwest.

Just one core: Destroy Xixia!

Zhao Ning took another letter, which also talked about the situation in the Northwest.

Just one core: send troops to destroy Xixia!

Zhao Ning quickly flipped through the next few copies, all about how to send troops to destroy Xixia!

Written by officials of the Political Affairs Hall, officials of the Privy Council, and officials of the Military and Political Council.

Even officials from the Kaifeng government got involved.

"Go and find Gao Qiu for me."

Not long after, Gao Qiu came over: "Your Majesty."

"Gao Qiu, I want to ask you something."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"There was a good news yesterday, a great victory in the Northwest, defeating the [-] Xixia army, have you heard about it?"

"Your Majesty heard about it. It is spreading everywhere now. It is rumored that under the inspiration of Your Majesty, the Forbidden Army of the Northwest is brave and invincible, and vows to kill..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I just want to ask you, how does the outside world view Xixia?"

"Of course I hope that the imperial court will send troops immediately, take advantage of the victory to pursue, and destroy the Western Thieves in one go!" Gao Qiu said, "Even the bakers on the street are saying that the imperial court is about to send troops to destroy the Western Thieves!"

"It seems that the public is very interested in destroying the Western Thieves."

Gao Qiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this year the imperial court regained Annan, conquered Goryeo, and now defeated a hundred thousand western thieves. After these major events, people naturally feel that the Song Dynasty is brave and powerful."

Zhao Ning sighed, and said, "Yesterday, I also felt that Song Dynasty could destroy Xixia!"

"Your Majesty is wise, Xi Xia is nothing more than a clown, Wang Shi goes north, and the Xi Xia will be wiped out!"

"When I heard you say that today, I suddenly felt that now is not the time to destroy Xixia."

"Your Majesty is wise, and I also feel that it is not the right time."

"Didn't you just say that you can kill the Western Thieves?"

"Whatever your majesty said, of course, that's what I said. I don't know what you mean by destroying the western thieves. As long as your majesty says to destroy the western thieves, the minister will say to destroy the western thieves. If your majesty says it's not the time, then it's not the time."

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "I just like listening to Gao Taiwei."

"The subject is His Majesty's subject."

"Go down and get busy."

"My minister retire."

Not long after, the chief executives came, and Zhao Gou was among them.

"I have a lot of memorials here, and the officials are very interested in the imperial court sending troops to destroy Xixia."

The chief executives looked at each other.

"I want to hear your thoughts."

Everyone was silent at first.

"Kang Wang, tell me."

Zhao Gou came out and said: "The imperial court has won many battles and victories this year, which shows that under Your Majesty's hard work, our Great Song Dynasty has become stronger than the old Han Dynasty and more prosperous than the former Tang Dynasty."

"You mean, you can send troops to destroy Xia?"

"As long as His Majesty gives an order, millions of soldiers will go north at any time to flatten Xixia!" Zhao Gou said quite boldly.

Zhao Ning said: "Mr. Shu Ye."

"The minister is here."

"If I want to fight a war to destroy the country, how long will it take with the current military strength in the Northwest?"

Zhang Shuye glanced at Zhao Ding next to him, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, with the current military strength in Shaanxi, it may be difficult to destroy Xixia."

"how do I say this?"

"The old minister dares to speak out."

"It's okay, sir."

"Your Majesty, although it's good news this time, Liu Xi was defeated in Weirong Village. If it wasn't for Liu Rui's devious attack on the Western Thieves, the situation in Yinzhou might be unpredictable."

When Zhang Shuye was young, he stayed in the Northwest, and he even fought against the Xixia people.

He may be the most qualified to speak here.

"Judging from the analysis of the battle situation in Weirongzhai sent by Yinzhou, the Xixia people have obviously changed a lot."

"What changes?"

"The number of people wearing armor has increased significantly." Zhang Shuye said in a rather heavy tone.

The scene fell silent.

At this time, He Li said: "Your Majesty, what Uncle Ye said makes sense. In the past few years we have traded with the Xixia people in Huizhou, and the Xixia people have sucked a lot of copper coins. After they got rich, they vigorously mined iron in the Hengshan area. Mining, recruiting manpower, and increasing armor are also reasonable."

"Moreover, there are many horses in the west, strong cavalry, and the people of Hengshan Buba are aggressive, and they are very resistant to hard battles." Zhang Shuye continued, "Now they have iron armor, and their combat power is even stronger."

"Your meaning, I can't defeat the Xixia people in the battle of the Northwest Forbidden Army?"

"That's not what I mean." Zhang Shuye said, "Didn't Your Majesty just tell you about dialectics?"

"Ok?"

"The Great Song Dynasty is changing, and so are the Xixia people."

Chapter 634 Dialectical Reflections on the International Situation of the Great Song Dynasty (First Update)

Da Song is not the Da Song of six years ago.

Similarly, Xixia is not the Xixia of six years ago.

Even Jin Guo is changing.

"Any field, any thing, and within and between things contain contradictions."

At this time, Zhao Ding came out to speak.

Although this thing was created by Zhao Ning, a transcendent, in the Song Dynasty.

But he was quite surprised when he heard the ancients talk about dialectics.

"The unity and struggle between the two contradictory sides promote the movement, change and development of things."

Zhao Gou on the side was dumbfounded, thinking to himself, what the hell is Zhao Ding talking about? Why has this king never heard of it?

Not only Zhao Gou was in a daze, but Cai Mao was also in a daze.
