I became the son of Renzong

"People often curse those who betray their country and seek glory, and cast aside those who marry their daughters to seek wealth. Why are they so enthusiastic about selling their children for temporary stability?"

"All the ministers and workers are elites, who stand out from among the many scholars and thus ascend to the imperial court. But has anyone ever thought carefully about why the Liaoxia society sacrificed the gift of the year and asked for this craft?"

"Don't talk about barbarians, and don't mention that Liao Xia is a fool. They have such a request, why can't all the ministers think carefully?"

"If you are in his position to seek his own government, since all the ministers and workers are supported by the court's salary, you should think about it for the court more or less sincerely. Don't be fooled by your own mind."

After finishing speaking, the whole court was stunned.

Let's not say that Zhao Xi has never spoken in such a large space in court before, it is Zhao Xi's words... It's really a bit embarrassing.

The court discussion is chaotic, but it has always been quoting from one sentence to another. When refuting the other party, it is to show one's erudition and literary talent.

Who has seen such a rhetoric as His Royal Highness?

It's so straightforward, but every sentence is poking at people's hearts and giving people a certainty.

Originally, it was just a matter of discussion, but what Zhao Xi said directly raised it to the level of human nature and loyalty to the country.

Zhao Xi was a little irritable, not just because of wool's interests.

What kind of results wool spinning will lead to, these ministers can imagine with a little effort.

What really annoyed Zhao Xi was the approval of Liaoxia's excessive demands by the entire court.

The court meeting did not discuss how to reject Liaoxia's request, but directly based on accepting Liaoxia's request.

Why?Zhao Xi couldn't figure it out.

"Actually, Xi wants to ask the most: Why don't we discuss how to reject the Liao Xia envoy's request in today's court meeting, but how to satisfy the other party?"

"What kind of stand and starting point made all the ministers and workers so eager to think about Liaoxia? Instead of standing on the standpoint of the state."

This is the court!The more Zhao Xi thought about it, the more frightened he became, this is the court of Guochao!

How can there be a little backbone?

"Your Highness, the envoys of Liaoxia threatened with military..."

Finally said it... It's really sad, this is just a threat, or there is no threat, and the courtiers are already timid.

I have no guts, I really have no guts.

"I don't know if talking about character and integrity at this time is a kind of mockery to all the ministers. Ke Xi still wants to ask: I have lost the responsibility of the soul of the family and the country, and have lost the mission of loving the people. Scholars, What else is there to talk about strength of character and integrity?"

"It's just a threat, and you can't wait to agree to Liaoxia's request. If one day the soldiers come to the city, will you be as passionate as today, forcing the court to surrender?"

The best way to argue is actually to change the subject.Leaving aside the substantive debate, let's go directly to a metaphysical level... Anyway, this court debate has always been just for fun, Zhao Xi also learned to do it once.

It's just that he didn't just borrow from the sages... the words of the ancients, different people have different opinions.In Zhao Xi's view, there was no lethality at all, so how could it be as cruel as his way of directly wearing a hat.

Not talking nonsense at all, just a few words, and directly defined the negotiation of wool craftsmanship as a scholar's character and traitorous pursuit of glory.

Let's see who else is talking about this!

Chapter 291 Who Opens the Side Door of the Eastern Palace

Chao Chao was disturbed by Zhao Xi.

After a hat was buckled like this, no one mentioned it again, and then it was put on hold.

This is the way again.Shelving itself is muddling along.

The imperial court has put it on hold. As for the accompanying envoys... the ministers of the imperial court are good at playing Tai Chi or making mud, so there is really no need to worry about it.

But things need to be sorted out.

Maybe it's because the husbands have considered Zhao Xi's emotions, or maybe everyone needs to carefully consider how to deal with this crisis.

In the ensuing meetings, no one raised this question, or they all avoided it.

Sadly, Zhao Xi also chose to avoid it.

He really wanted to expel this so-called envoy directly, and then prepare for the war as a whole... Unfortunately, the current Guochao does not have the strength to fight on both sides.

It is to fight against any side, if you want to win, you need to be cautious.In this era, there are too many factors that determine the outcome of a war.

The entire performance and meeting ended under a heavy heart.

Zhao Xi seemed to understand the feelings of the courtiers and even his father.

Counting the foreign wars of Guochao, since Taizong, although Guochao has recorded too many victories, Zhao Xi knows it well, the ministers and workers of Guochao know it, and the father also knows it.

These so-called victorious battles are just harassed by other cavalry, and then our soldiers defend the city.

Occasionally he can kill thirty or fifty riders, and he dares to report a big victory to the court.

And the battles that Guochao lost... the casualties and wounded soldiers were all counted in thousands or tens of thousands.

This is the experience of Guochao's foreign wars, and it also caused the attitude of the entire court on foreign affairs.

Even Zhao Xi had the feeling that a clever woman can't cook without rice.

The military is the most important way of inheritance. In later generations, even every company will have its own historical tradition.

But the current national army...

The Kingdom Dynasty originated from Hou Zhou, and no one dared to underestimate the combat power of Hou Zhou at that time, but in just a hundred years, the Kingdom Dynasty was reduced to a situation where there were no soldiers to use.

The reason... Zhao Xi really didn't want to criticize his ancestors, but the facts forced him to think more.

Taizu's release of military power with a glass of wine only made those generals resign. Fundamentally, it did not sever the relationship between the army and those generals.

In view of this, the Taizong Dynasty had the Yongxi Northern Expedition...

At that time, Cao Bin captured Gu'an and even captured Zhuozhou.Panmei all the way, Keshuo Prefecture, Xiaying Prefecture, and Poyun Prefecture.In the end it was a big defeat...

Just this time, it should be said that those fierce soldiers of the Kingdom were buried together, and it also caused the entire Kingdom to switch directly from a strategic offensive to a compromised defense.

As a result, the generals completely lost any foundation, and because of this, the entire country could no longer straighten its spine, and it also made the country truly enter an era of promoting literature and suppressing martial arts.

Forget it, it's useless to think about it, the status quo is just like this.Even Zhao Xi needs to think about what benefits should be sacrificed to appease him...

Very bitter!

Until late at night, Zhao Xi still couldn't sleep peacefully.Can't get over the hurdle in my heart.

Zhao Xi can choose to compromise no matter what kind of dispute it is with the country.
