Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a little tired.
The deeper he knew about the political affairs of the court, the more Zhao Zhen found out that the Song Dynasty had corrupted the government.
Most of the abuses were left over by his father when he was in power, and some were left over by his grandfather.
In his mind, his father Zhao Heng was about to equate with Wu Jun.
He felt that it was a miracle that Da Song, with such serious internal and external troubles, could survive the chaos even now.
He found out that he and Kou Ji were brothers because they both had a father who cheated his son.
However, the son does not say that the father has passed.
No matter how bad his dad is, it is his dad. He has to make up for his dad's mistakes.
"I suddenly found out that it's so difficult to be a Mingjun..."
Zhao Zhen sighed sincerely.
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Zhao Zhen suspiciously.
Zhao Zhen gave a dry cough, and said, "When they come back, I will pack them up."
Kou Ji shook his head slightly, "That's not the case. There are so many malpractices in the DPRK, and the ministers have told the officials a lot. They can't be corrected for a while, and they need to be explained slowly.
When the war in Xixia and the land of Yanyun are over, we monarchs and ministers have time to deal with these malpractices. "
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, "Then listen to the fourth brother..."
After a pause, Zhao Zhen questioned: "How does the fourth brother plan to arrange the war in Xixia?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "The minister thought for a long time, discussed with Gao Chugong and others for a long time, but finally came up with a way. That is, Zhu Neng led the Zhenxi Army and Yongxing Army, with a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, attacking All Xixia territories west of Xingqing Mansion; Chong Shiheng led the Tianjia Army and Tianwu Army, Gao Chugong and Liu Heng led the Hengshan Army and Zhenrong Army, a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, only the south of Xingqing Mansion Xixia territory, and soldiers encircled Xingqing Mansion.
Wang Kai, Liu Qi, and Guo Yi led the Zhenbei Army, Zhen Guo Army, and Xing Guo Army with a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses to attack the territory east of Xingqing Mansion. Wang Kai's Ministry needed to attack the two major military sites of the Black Mountain Weifu Army in Xixia and the provincial Weicheng.
The ministers led the tiger wing and the three armies to help them clean up the remnants.
Officials led the tiger wings, as well as the remaining soldiers and horses, cooperated with the civil servants to appease the place and restore civil administration. "
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Who is in charge, who will send troops and generals?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "No one is in charge, and all ministries are led by their chief generals. They attack their respective responsible parties."
Zhao Zhen hesitated and said, "Will it be messed up? What if the enemy lures the enemy to go deeper?"
Kou Ji shook his head, "There will be no mess. Each of them is responsible for one. They only need to find ways to fight their own battles, and they don't need to worry about the others.
As for whether the enemy will lure the enemy deeper, there is no need to worry.
We divide the army by four, and even if one party is frustrated, the other three will be intact.
After all, Xixia didn't have enough troops to defeat our Quartet soldiers in one fell swoop.
More importantly, I led nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses to follow closely. Once a problem arises, my 200,000 soldiers and horses can be made up at any time. "
Zhao Zhen pondered: "But the soldiers and horses are divided into four points. Some are strong and some are weak. Some are assigned to a big place, and some are assigned to a place that is not easy to fight. How can the soldiers and horses gather at the same time and attack Xingqing Mansion? "
Kou Ji said solemnly: "I have set a time for them. Before the end of autumn, they must rush to Xingqing Mansion."
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "No one is in charge, I am always a little worried."
Kou Ji bluntly said: “The officials don’t have to worry. Even if the soldiers and horses led by the ministers are frustrated, the soldiers and horses led by the officials can still top it. Although no one is in charge of the Xixia conquest, we have enough troops to make up for it. Any problems on the battlefield.
Xixia didn't have enough troops to sneak attack. "
Zhao Zhen carefully considered Kou Ji's statement, and found that Kou Ji's layout can reduce the impact of one party's defeat in the war to the greatest possible extent, so he slowly nodded.
"Since the fourth brother, Gao Chugong and others think it is feasible, then act in accordance with this law."
Kou Ji said dumbfoundedly: "We have to wait for the battle in the Land of Yanyun to bear fruit."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, but also had a dumbfounding expression on his face.
"I have nothing to do?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "That's not true. Can the official send another group of envoys to Xingqing Mansion?"
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji suspiciously.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Li Deming is also offering money to my Song Dynasty and people to my Song Dynasty. The official should more or less give him some face.”
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Can I forgive him or not?"
Zhao Zhen was obviously telling a joke.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "If Li Deming is acquainted, it's not impossible to spare his life."
The smile on Zhao Zhen's face slowly disappeared, and he looked at Kou Ji in amazement.
Kou Ji continued to laugh and said: "The official can send someone to tell Li Deming that the official can spare him his life for his obedience. However, he must bring the leaders of the various ministries of the party and their families and move to the place. To the city of Bianjing.
From now on, the territory of Xixia will be governed by our Da Song.
There is no more Li Deming, the lord of Xixia, but I, Li Deming, a noble lord of Song Dynasty. "
Zhao Zhen laughed angrily for a moment, "Can you not pant when you speak? I thought you really wanted to let Li Deming go. Even if I send someone to surrender Li Deming according to your method, Li Deming will definitely not agree.
Like his father Li Jiqian, Li Deming is a person who is unwilling to live under others.
He will definitely fight us.
Even if he knew he would lose. "
Kou Ji smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether Li Deming promised or not. What's important is that the officials have given the party leaders and the party nobles a chance to survive.
As long as the officials sent to spread the matter.
After we attack Xixia and appease the people of Xixia, we will have unexpected gains. "
Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and immediately understood Kou Ji's intentions.
Kou Ji was using this method to separate Li Deming from the leaders of other ministries, and also to separate Li Deming from the Xixia nobles.
Once the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horse army pressed the border, Xixia suffered a crushing defeat.
Among the leaders of the various ministries and the Xixia nobles, there will definitely be some people who want to surrender.
They will definitely cause Li Deming some trouble when the Great Song soldiers and horses encircle Xingqing Mansion.
It is even possible to join forces and chop off Li Deming's head and dedicate it to Zhao Zhen.
The reason why Kou Ji could think of this was because he had read the documents sent to Zhao Zhen by the Great Song Envoy.
The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty mentioned in the document sent to Zhao Zhen that when they searched for money in Xingqing Mansion, the wealthy businessmen in Xingqing Mansion offered money.
That shows that there are many people in Xixia who are afraid of death.
They can take advantage of their fear of death.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Since it is beneficial to my Great Song soldiers and horses, then I will send someone to visit again."
Afterwards, Zhao Zhen selected a few people and sent them to Xixia.
The second group of envoys left Yinzhou and rushed to Xingqing Mansion.
Haven't walked to Baichi City yet.
The first batch of envoys had already arrived at Yinzhou City.
When the envoys arrived at Yinzhou City, they handed in their errands and handed over the money they brought back to Zhao Zhen along with Xia Yu and his son.
In Xingqing Mansion, the envoys patted their chests and promised Li Deming without saying a word to Zhao Zhen.
They promised to help Li Deming and admonished Zhao Zhen to give up attacking Xixia, but they didn't say anything.
Zhao Zhen's thoughts of attacking Xixia were irreversible, and they were not so stupid, so they touched Zhao Zhen's brows.
When they were in the city of Bianjing, they embarrassed Zhao Zhen.
In Yinzhou City, no one helped them.
Enraged Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen casually stuffed them into a certain corner, I'm afraid they can be stuffed for a lifetime.
After the envoys arrived at Yinzhou City, Zhao Zhen specially ordered Chen Lin to go down and investigate.
Sure enough, as Kou Ji said, the money collected by the envoys was far more than the money dedicated to the court.
The money collected by the envoys totaled more than 700,000 pennies.
The private gifts they received from Li Deming and the money they received from the wealthy businessmen in Xingqing Mansion did not give a cent to Zhao Zhen.
Only the 300,000 Guans that Li Deming tribute to the Song Dynasty was given to Zhao Zhen.
After learning of this, Zhao Zhen ordered Chen Lin to write down the names of the envoys one by one and save them in the file.
That is Zhao Zhen's private file library, which contains many little secrets that the Korean file does not have.
Zhao Zhen obeyed Kou Ji's suggestion and did not rush to deal with them.
It is Xia Wei and his son, who need to be killed quickly.
Before killing Xia Yu and his son, Zhao Zhen summoned Kou Ji, and the two went to the cell together to see Xia Yu and his son.
Zhao Zhen brought a candied fruit, and Kou Ji brought a jar of old wine.
When the two entered the cell, they saw Xia Wei and his son, dressed in tattered clothes and messy hair, turned their backs to them.
Zhao Zhen stared at Xia Wei's back and whispered: "Xia Wei, when you see me, why don't you worship?"
Xia Wei turned his back to Zhao Zhen and did not look back.
I don't know if it is embarrassing, facing Zhao Zhen speechlessly, or afraid that Zhao Zhen will humiliate him.
"My Xia Yun is no longer a minister of Song Dynasty, so I don't need to bow down to you."
"Ah?!"
Zhao Zhen laughed mockingly, "In all the world, it seems that only the Liao emperor Yelu Longxu is the only one who can not worship me. Even the emperor of Liao, the grandson of the Liao Kingdom, had to bow to me in the Song Dynasty. .
Do you think you are comparable to the Liao Emperor? "
Xia Wei turned his back to Zhao Zhen and did not speak.
Zhao Zhen's face became cold, and he said, "You are ruthless, and ruthlessly makes me feel cold. I still remember that you like to eat the secret preserves in the palace, so I brought you a portion, but you no longer remember that I used to Is your monarch."
After a pause, Zhao Zhen let out a sigh, "That's right, you are now Xia Chen, an abandoned Xia Chen."
When Xia Yu heard this, his whole body trembled, and he felt a deep humiliation.
Zhao Zhen stared at Xia Wei's back and continued: "Xia Wei, you are ruthless and unrighteous, unfaithful and unfilial, I don't blame you. The world is ruthless and unrighteous, unfaithful and unfilial, and I don't know how many people are.
If I blame others for this, it will inevitably be a bit narrow.
But there is one thing, I have to talk to you well.
What made you so cruel to use your own ancestors
The incense in the ancestral temple has not been extinguished.
You have also gone in to worship several times.
Can be regarded as a person who has seen his ancestors.
Do you remember the face of your ancestor
Hundreds of thousands of people in the Song Dynasty were poisoned by the Liao people, and nearly 180,000 people died under the sword of the Liao people.
Are you worthy of your ancestors
Can you be worthy of the blood and talents that your ancestors bestowed on you? "
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen has already started roaring loudly.
"If I decide to be alone, I must think twice, and be cautious. As long as he is not a heinous person, if there is a chance to keep him, I will give him a chance to survive.
I sit on the world, yet I dare not let a common people die easily.
Why are you cruel, let hundreds of thousands of people suffer from the poison of the Liao people, and create 180,000 evil spirits? !
If you hate me, you come to kill me, and I don't blame you.
If you hate Kou Ji and you assassinate Kou Ji, I will not blame you.
But why do you take the lives of those innocent people as the victim of your revenge
They said the same thing to you, and kept the same blood.
You created 180,000 wronged souls, made hundreds of thousands homeless, and made hundreds of thousands without their parents, husbands, wives and children, and brothers.
Even if I cut you thousands of times, I won't get rid of my hatred!
Even if I cut you thousands of times, it will be difficult to clear your sins! "
"Boom!"
Zhao Zhen angrily threw the food box in his hand on the ground. The plates and candied fruit in the food box fell to the ground, and the candied fruit rolled all over the floor.
"Do you think I came here with candied fruit for you to eat?"
"I tell you! You are not worthy!"
"Even if I feed the candied fruit to the dog, I won't give it to you!"
"I have a dog, and it can help me bite people!"
"But if I raise you, not only can you not help me bite people, but you will also eat my people!"
"..."
"Uuuuu..."
Xia Anqi has long been crying.
Xia Wei gritted her teeth and turned her back to Zhao Zhen, as if she hadn't heard Zhao Zhen's words.
Zhao Zhen pointed to Xia Wei and said, "Xia Wei! I will never kill you easily! I will send people to collect the punishments from all over the world, and use them on you one by one until I can't hear those 180,000 injustices. When I call, I will kill you again."
"Chen Lin!"
"Slaves are here!"
"Staring at him, if he commits suicide, you will be tortured for him!"
"Slaves follow the order!"
"..."
"Hahaha..."
After Zhao Zhen instructed Chen Lin, Xia Wei suddenly spoke and laughed.
"Zhao benefited! You don't want to kill me quickly, are you planning to keep me watching Da Song's defeat?"
Xia Wei suddenly turned around, staring at Zhao Zhen, and said with a wild laugh.
Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly became cold.
Xia Wei didn't seem to see Zhao Zhen's gaze, "Zhao Yiyi, how long do you think you can sit in your country?"
Zhao Zhen had no words.
Xia Yu continued: "Zhao benefited, I dare to conclude that your Zhao family will be ruined in your hands."
Zhao Zhen still had no words, staring at Xia Wei coldly.
Xia Wei laughed and looked at Kou Ji, "He is the one who captured your Zhao family."
Xia Wei suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Kou Ji, and shouted: "One day, he, whom you regard as a brother, will personally lead his soldiers and horses to attack the imperial city, drive you down from the throne, and replace you. , Become the new emperor!"
