Chapter 209
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the Kunning Palace, Zhao Zhen just opened his eyes, then touched his bewildered head, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the palace skirts scattered on the floor under the bed, and then turned around suddenly. Turning his head, he suddenly saw Empress Cao Danshu lying beside him.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help being taken aback, and slapped his forehead suddenly, and the scenes that happened last night suddenly entered his mind. He looked at Cao Danshu who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

Zhao Zhen was afraid of waking Cao Danshu up, so he didn't call the maid to come and dress him, but put on the middle coat lightly by himself.

"Official! Are you awake?"

Cao Danshu noticed movement around her, so she hurriedly opened her eyes.

Zhao Zhen looked at the big innocent expression, then pulled Cao Danshu into his arms, and said softly: "Danshu! I drank too much last night, so I hurt you!"

Cao Danshu looked ashamed, and then buried her head in Zhao Zhen's arms and said, "Officials! You and I have skin relatives, and the slaves will be able to have children for the officials in the future!"

Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered that according to the records of the Song Dynasty, Empress Cao Danshu entered the palace at the age of 16 and was in charge of the harem for more than [-] years, but she had no children all her life. , Of course, the possibility of infertility is not ruled out.

For example, Chen Ajiao, the queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was abolished because of her infertility. Liu E was also blocked from the queen's throne by the ministers because of her infertility.

But Cao Danshu was a legendary queen. Although she had no children, she was respected by the ministers, so she died well.

Zhao Zhen lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and then said: "Danshu! In my eyes, you are the most important. As for whether you have children, it depends entirely on God's will. Danshu doesn't have to worry about it at all!"

Cao Danshu saw this and said hurriedly: "Guan family! As the head of the Sixth Palace, the Nu family should bear the responsibility of continuing the imperial heir. This is what Danshu should do."

There is an old saying that there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no descendants.Moreover, if a married woman fails to conceive for a long time, she will not be able to stand up in her husband's family, which will cause various conflicts between families, and often end in dismal.

Zhao Zhen didn't want Cao Danshu to get pregnant so early, because she was still too young, and what happened last night was completely drunk, and Zhao Zhen showed the evil thoughts in his heart.

But Zhao Zhen didn't know how to explain those big principles to Cao Danshu, but now that the matter was at this point, Zhao Zhen could only accept it calmly. At most, he would just pay more attention when having sex in the future.

After Zhao Zhen figured this out, he said a few more heart-warming words, and then got up to change clothes.Seeing this, Cao Danshu wanted to get up and serve Zhao Zhen, but she frowned and then came out with a groan.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly grabbed Cao Danshu's little hand, and then said, "Danshu! I don't need you to serve me, you should take good care of yourself!"

"Come on! Change clothes!"

After Zhao Zhen finished changing and washing, Huamei had already prepared breakfast, and Zhao Zhen's gaze fell on Huamei. Compared with Cao Danshu's pale face, Li Huamei's cheeks were flushed like a ripe peach. Exudes an unparalleled sophistication.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but feel pleasing to the eye, and even ate a few more meat buns for breakfast.

After Zhao Zhen finished his breakfast and asked the palace staff to take good care of Cao Danshu, he planned to go to Yanfu Palace to exercise his body, but he didn't want to see Yang Huaimin rushing in as soon as he left Kunning Palace, and then he said: "Report to the official family! Wang Xiang, Lu Xiang, and Yan Xiang are asking to see the official family!"

Just yesterday there was a banquet for the ministers, today is a rest day, not at home with his wife and children, and entering the palace early in the morning, is there any military report on the front line?
But it shouldn't either!If something like the military newspaper should be presented to him by Li Di, Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhao Zhen couldn't figure it out, so he said: "Let a few ministers go to Chongzheng Hall to wait, and I will be there soon!"

In the Chongzheng Hall, Prime Minister Wang Zeng took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty! Xia Wang Li Chengwei sent someone to come to the table to ask His Majesty for forgiveness, and offered gold and silver treasures to show his obedience, and put all the blame on Li Yuanhao. Ask Your Majesty, whether this battle should be turned into friendship, or continue to fight."

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said: "On the way to the Chongzheng Palace, I received the front-line military report that Cao Wei had led the left army to surround Longxi, and all the Tubo tribes in the Qing and Tang Dynasties expressed their submission to my Great Song Dynasty. Cao Weite sent an urgent military report from eight hundred li, asking if I would accept the surrender of the Tubo tribes, or continue fighting."

Wang Zeng said again: "Your Majesty! The two armies went out this time, and they defeated the invading enemy without any effort. I think it is better to turn hostility into jade and accept the peace agreement between Li Chengwei, king of Xia, and the various tribes of Tubo. The border is secured."

Lu Yijian said: "The Wang Xiang's words are different. Qingtang Tubo was beheaded by Wen Buqi, the Qingtang Hou Siluo, and the Qingtang tribes had no choice but to attack the Song Dynasty. Therefore, I think our dynasty can accept the Qingtang Tubo tribes. I can't accept Li Chengwei's peace negotiation, who knows if this time is a treacherous trick by Li Yuanhao!"

Yan Shu said: "Your Majesty! If I destroy Li Yuanhao, I can take over the land of Heshuo and open up the Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The commercial benefits brought by the Silk Road will make my Song Dynasty richer. To recover the Tibetans in Qingtang, you can own the land of Xihe, and extend the territory of our dynasty to the Langzhou area, so I think that the imperial court should take tough measures against the Tibetans in Qingtang and other places, and destroy Li Yuanhao at any cost!"

Wang Zeng hurriedly said to Yan Shu: "Yan Shu! The imperial court's 20 troops marched westward, and the daily expenses were so huge that the court's previous measures to benefit the people had to be suspended. Could it be that in your Yan Shu's eyes, the people of the Great Song Dynasty An Ning, can't it be compared to the useless frontier fortress?"

The importance of the Longyou Protectorate's Mansion is naturally beyond doubt, but if the war continues, it will indeed affect people's livelihood. The three of them each hold a few buildings, and no one will let anyone else go. That's why they quarreled from the Zhongshumen to the Chongzheng Palace.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and then said: "Although the imperial court has won a big victory at the moment, it is not what I want. If I retreat at this time, I will not even be able to earn the military expenses for sending troops. Besides, the imperial court has treated Li Jiqian and all the Tibetans before. Tribes are also taking measures to appease, but with little success."

"It is advisable to chase down the poor with the remaining bravery, not to become a king! Pass my will to Wang Deyong and Cao Wei. I will not discuss peace. Whether it is the Tubo tribe or the Dangxiang Qiang tribe, they have only one choice, and that is to lay down their weapons and surrender unconditionally."

Zhao Zhen glanced at the three of them, and said: "Negotiating a peace can only bring peace to the country and the people for a while, but not forever. I launched the war to eliminate the war. Moreover, I want to let those foreigners understand: offend me! Song Tianwei! He will be killed even if he is far away!"

The previous chapter didn’t have that few words, but the scale was a bit too big, so I failed it and revised it in the end.
