Chapter 470 Since you can't kill with a stick, let's kill with a stick (second update)
Chapter 469

The many important court officials who rushed to the palace quickly learned the news that Xixia attacked Suide City, an important town on the border of the Song Dynasty, and Suide City was broken. However, in their opinion, they are very accustomed to such news up.

"It's nothing new for Xixia to attack our border every year. It's just a pity that Suide City, the business that I spent more than ten years in the Song Dynasty, is all in vain..." an old man with gray beard The minister couldn't help feeling authentic.

"It's all just a waste of time and money. According to someone, there are many places that are easy to attack and difficult to defend. If you abandon them, you can abandon them. This way, you can show that Western Xia that we are a great country in the Song Dynasty..."

"Stop talking nonsense, these border towns are all the accumulated income of my Song Dynasty's business over the years. According to what you said, they are simply enemies..."

"I'm doing this to lighten the burden on the court. Do you know that every new city will cost hundreds of thousands, even millions of guan? If this money is used for people's livelihood, how good it would be .”

"Look at those armies in the border towns, which ones are not like a group of greedy moths, who yell louder than anyone else when they ask for money, but they fail again and again. Hmph, this time, the old man will definitely impeach the officials of Suide City ..."

"Everyone is dead, and you go to impeach him, can you show some face?"

"You! How unreasonable that you dare to humiliate the old man like this, the old man will swear to you... So it's Xueshi Su, ahaha... Master Xu, there is something I want to discuss with you, come here, let's go over there to chat chat……"

Su Dongpo watched the old shameless censor leave with a livid face, then let out a muffled grunt and walked towards the front of the court hall.

"Sir, why do you bother with such a villain?" Lu Tao shook his head helplessly, and persuaded him in a low voice.

"Hmph, Mr. Su just can't get used to the faces of these people who are making things worse, Mr. Su really wants to send all these bastards to the border town..." Su Dongpo said angrily.

On the other side, Zhu Guangting, Liang Tao, Jia Yi, Ning Shangshu and others were gathering together, whispering something.

"What else can I do? Of course, it's the same as usual. Please issue an order to reprimand the troops in the border towns for their ineffectiveness in fighting and slow support for the friendly troops. In addition, we must properly appease the people in the frontier fortresses, so that they don't panic. Displacement is the only way... "

"My lord Jia is right, but Liang thinks that we should speak to the empress and make peace with Xixia. As long as we return the land of Xixia that we invaded in the past, if we want to come to Xixia to restore the old land, we will naturally not invade the south again..."

At this moment, Liu Zhi noticed that Zhu Guangting's eyes were squinted, his eyes were flickering, and his expression was cloudy and uncertain, so he couldn't help asking with some doubts. "Kōtei, did you think of a good plan?"

"My lords, Zhu feels that this is an excellent opportunity..." Zhu Guangting raised his head and saw that this group of old party colleagues with doubts on their faces were all buddies. It will come soon, there is not much time left for myself.

"what chance?"

"A perfect opportunity to drive Wang Wushan out of Bianliang."

"Here, what does Brother Guangting mean by this? What does the Xia-Song border town battle have to do with him, Wang Wushan..." Several colleagues looked at each other subconsciously, thinking that Zhu Guangting was trying to get revenge on Wang Yang. , This is already a bit pathological and delusional.

"No, no, of course it has nothing to do with that king, Wushan. But this time, Zhu thinks that we shouldn't make peace with Xixia and retreat step by step as in the past."

"...Guangting, what on earth do you want to say? Why don't you tell me quickly." After Liu Zhi frowned in displeasure, he said to Zhu Guangting. What is the connection between Wang Yang and Wang Wushan?

"My lords must know that Wang Wushan is now staying in the center, and the threat to us is increasing day by day. However, he has made outstanding achievements and is deeply trusted by the empress and the emperor. We are afraid that it will be difficult to convict him and be relegated from Beijing. But Now, the battle between Xixia and my Great Song Dynasty is an excellent opportunity for him to leave Bianliang..."

At this moment, a group of old party bosses couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and Liu Zhi couldn't help but let out a sigh, and his expression changed a little more.

Yes, because of the appearance of that boy Wang Wushan, he overturned a dignified Guozijian's sacrificial wine, and made Zhu Guangting feel ashamed and almost thrown to his grandma's house, his reputation plummeted, and Ning Shangshu was also beaten by this guy Face.

Coupled with the Yuanyou assembly method he created, which has damaged the interests of many officials, if he is allowed to stay like this, it will give people the feeling that this is a delicious and fragrant pot. soup.

Everyone gathered around the pot and tasted it happily, but after this bastard Wang Yang rushed over, he spit directly into it, and even threw a pair of stinky socks into it. Who can bear it?
Therefore, all the old party leaders have reached a tacit agreement that Wang Yang can no longer stay, but now he is deeply trusted by the empress dowager, and even regarded by the emperor as a minister.

Even if you want to fabricate charges against him, you can't do it, so what should you do?Zhu Guangting's words are like a guiding light, which makes everyone's eyes brighten.

Since you can't kill with sticks, then kill with praise.And Liu Zhi subconsciously glanced at Su Dongpo who was standing not far away, his mood seemed to be very unbeautiful, and his eyes became more and more dazzling. "It's not just the king Wushan, there is another one, we should also let him leave the center, so as not to disturb people's eyes and ears all day long..."

Listening to Liu Zhizhi's words, everyone followed Liu Zhi's gaze and looked over there. Just as Su Dongpo looked over there, he saw the group of former comrades-in-arms and today's enemies. Su Dongpo pouted contemptuously, and strode over.

Then he waved his long sleeves and said with disdain. "If you want to pay homage to Su, don't do that ghostly act of worship."

As expected of Su Dapao, this opening directly aroused the anger of all the old party bosses, it was really frustrating.

Even Liu Zhi, a veteran driver, couldn't help blowing his beard and glaring angrily. "...Su Dongpo, what do you mean? Why are we so obsessed with it?"

"That's what Su said. Since you are so angry, it seems... Su expected it to be right, hmph..." Then Su Dapao left with his head held high, leaving the ticket behind. The exasperated and confused old party bosses.

"Liu Xiang, you are so right, it really should be like this..." Zhu Guangting gritted his teeth, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and felt that Su Dongpo's shit-stirring stick was really not suitable for staying in the court superior.

Instead of letting him stay in the court and engage in internal strife every now and then, it is better to let him leave Bianliang Kaifeng and continue to let his old party tycoons go, so as not to squat together and look at each other.

Several old party leaders immediately formed a group, and then began to mutter in a low voice, making suggestions one after another, trying to make the plan more perfect and secure.

At this moment, Gao Taotao, who was delayed by a stick of incense because of the lunch break, came to the court hall accompanied by the emperor Zhao Xu.
