Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 245
Wang Jien thought he was familiar with Zhao Kuangyin's character and temper. When he saw the emperor like this, he thought he was angry and got up quickly.

Zhao Yuanzuo also grew taller.

All the ministers were dumbfounded by the two people's method, and they didn't know what to do.

Zhao Kuangyin also showed a pensive look on his face, and asked for a while, "I don't think you can tell this set of rhetoric, who taught you?"

Wang Jien looked at Zhao Yuanzuo and did not dare to say a word.

Zhao Yuanzuo was silent for a while, and finally said, "No one taught me, it's my own thinking."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said nothing.

Wang Jien was a little nervous, looked at Zhao Yuanzuo, then at Zhao Kuangyin, opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.

Zhao Dezhao took a step forward and said flatly, "I taught it."

boom!
The pot immediately exploded in the hall.

The ministers who were still debating whether it was the king of Qi who trained the special envoy of the town, or the special envoy on his own, immediately blamed each other.

"I just said that King Qi is just a man of paper, now you see it! Did King Jin play it by himself!"

In the main hall, Zhao Kuangyin nodded, "Won't you be arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat! This is the style of a famous general, and it is worthy of the blood of my Zhao family. It is also good for Dezhao to teach. Yuanzuo's future achievements will all be on your shoulders."

"The tragic incident in the border town can be regarded as a matter of urgency. If there is a mistake, I am also at fault. In my opinion, let's forget it. Although the two of you are at fault, you are more meritorious. I will grant you forgiveness, and each of you will give me my armor A robe."

Zhao Guangyi, Wang Jien and others were all overjoyed, they were not guilty, that is meritorious service, and the rewards that will follow will be even more astonishing.It's just that I don't know if it's a job or a gold and silver treasure.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin's next reward surprised everyone.

"You guys have made such achievements, one robe can't be justified, I will reward you more: Zhao Yuanzuo rewarded three beef cattle, you can eat as you like; Wang Jien rewarded two beef cattle, you can eat as you want; Fangzheng Qi rewarded one beef cattle, you can eat as you want. Only Gao Huaide and others, and others Award."

This... Zhao Guangyi was dumbfounded.

That's it?This is too simple, too stingy!
However, that's it.

With a wave of Zhao Kuangyin's hand, he signaled for everyone to open the banquet, so the palace running water banquet officially opened.

Zhao Kuangyin deliberately brought Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Yuanzuo to his side, and asked them something in a low voice from time to time. Sometimes the two answered to his liking, and the three of them would laugh together.

Zhao Guangyi watched from afar, with mixed emotions, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Immediately, Zhao Kuangyin named Zhao Yuanzuo General Qianniuwei, and Fang Zhengqi and others.

Three days later, Gao Huaide sent news that the Northern Han Dynasty had begun to collapse due to lack of food, and a large number of people were starving to death.However, the Khitan and Liao Kingdom, which had always been on good terms with the Northern Han Dynasty, did not help.

That's because the Liao Kingdom also encountered a crisis of poor harvests and was too busy to take care of itself.

In the end, Gao Huaide suggested to Zhao Kuangyin to send troops in time to take down the Northern Han Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom was helpless in this matter. At least for a few months, Khitan did not have the ability to support the Northern Han Dynasty and fight against the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately called all the ministers to discuss.

Everyone said everything, some said they would fight, some said wait and see, and some told fake news.

These statements didn't satisfy Zhao Kuangyin, so he directly asked what Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Yuanzuo meant?
Zhao Yuanzuo completely regards Zhao Dezhao as the leader, and Zhao Dezhao actually yearns for peace in his heart.

He wanted to use this time to create all the treasures in his memory.

However, seeing Zhao Kuangyin's pressing questions, he could see that Zhao Guangyao really wanted to fight this battle.

That being the case, let's fight.

But who will fight!Mostly I'm afraid it's me.

Because Zhao Yuanzuo completed the task of defending the city, he was asked to attack the city this time because he was probably inexperienced.

Then naturally there is only him, even if other generals have the ability to lead troops to fight, Zhao Kuangyin will not give up this task of increasing merit.

Three days later, Zhao Kuangyin named Zhao Dezhao the General of Pingbei, leading an army of [-].He ordered Zhao Yuanzuo to be his assistant, and followed him to march north.

The [-] troops are all members of the imperial army, and at the same time, Zhao Dezhao has the right to command the leader Zhenwu Jiedushi and the [-] troops under him at any time.

For the convenience of employing people, Zhao Dezhao proposed to let Wang Zixing, Shi Yuanliang, Jiang An, Fang Zhengqi and others go out with him.

The Zhenwu Army is in the southwest of Weizhou and borders the Northern Han Army on the county border of Changzi County.It falls under the jurisdiction of Longde Prefecture.

It may take more than fifteen days for the army to reach there.

So on the first night, after being stationed in the camp, Zhao Dezhao told Zhao Yuanzuo to continue to lead the team northward, while he only brought Jiang An and a dozen other guards to Zhangzi County on light horses.

At the same time, Fang Zhengqi was ordered to lead a scouting team of 500 people to follow.

In order to understand the enemy's situation in advance and master first-hand information.

Along the way, we rushed to the Longde mansion in five and a half days, and met the prefect here.

The military affairs of Longde Mansion were under the control of Zhenwu Military, and the civil affairs were under the control of Longde Mansion. Liu Taishou of Longde Mansion happened to be too sick to get out of bed.

Zhao Dezhao then took over the government office and ordered people to buy supplies for the army that was about to arrive.

Unexpectedly, something happened the next day.A petty official from Longde Mansion came to complain.

"Your Highness..."

"Now pack lightly, don't call me Your Highness, call me Your Excellency."

"Yes! Your lord!"

"Sir, I had already paid a deposit for a piece of material and was going to pick it up and take it away the next day, but suddenly someone else stopped me and bought it."

"What? Some people dare to intercept the government's things?"

"What's even more outrageous is that the merchant actually dared to sell it to others even though he knew it was ordered by the Longde government. I immediately went to the shop to inquire. But the shop was quite arrogant and said that the ordered goods would not be given to others. But you must give it to this person, because you can’t afford to offend this person.”

Zhao Dezhao laughed angrily, "Is this a Khitan business, or a Northern Han business?"

The little official in charge of purchasing also said with a smile, "Our place is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away. If it's the business of the Longde Mansion, that's fine. Khitan and Northern Han really don't control our place."

"Then what did you say?"

"Since they dare to say that, they must have something to rely on. I, a petty official who doesn't even have a rank, can't afford to offend them, but I know that adults will definitely make decisions for me."

"I'm the one who decides this matter." Zhao Dezhao patted him on the shoulder, "Take me to see which shop is so arrogant!"

Since Deacon Zhao Dezhao, he has always required speed and efficiency in doing things.

Now someone actually intercepted his goods, and said that he would definitely not be able to offend the other party.

Zhao Dezhao smiled, he had an intuition that this would be a big fish.

Even the merchants would rather offend the government than their gang, they will definitely be a big fish.
