"No, I don't agree. In history, only the Northern Dynasties completed the conquest of the Southern Dynasties, and did not conquer the northern land from the south. Losing the land of Yanyun has put us in a hundred years of weakness. If we escape to Jiangnan, the Song Dynasty will be over!"

Fan Chunren's face was red and his voice shocked the entire Chongzheng Hall.

But someone immediately came out to object.

"Absurd! There is no danger to defend Bianjing, and it is not a wise choice to stay here. Once the Western Xia cavalry goes east and there is no obstacle along the way, what can we use to stop it? The 300,000 troops in Hezhong Prefecture can't stop the Western Xia army. Now the 300,000 troops are dispersed, and only 100,000 defeated soldiers are left. How can we stop it? Are you going to joke about His Majesty's safety!"

Cai Jing stood up and scolded loudly.

The political affairs officer Fan Chunren was so angry that his blue veins burst out on his forehead. Cai Jing was so arrogant that he had ruined many merchants. Fan Chunren had long been dissatisfied with him, and now he dared to come out to confront him.

"What are you? A mere minister of the Secretariat who actually talks to me like this!"

Fan Chunren scolded.

Cai Jing smiled and said, "Fan Chanzheng is really powerful. He doesn't allow anyone to speak. The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat is also a two-system official. He has always had the right to make suggestions. In Fan Chanzheng's eyes, he can only be considered a thing!"

"shut up!"

A man next to him scolded, and Cai Jing quickly bowed his hand because it was his benefactor Zeng Bu who made a sound.

Zeng Bu glared at Cai Jing with a angrily look, and turned around to Zhao Xu who was sitting on the dragon throne and said, "Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Cai Sheren's words are not nice, but it makes sense. There is no danger to guard Bianjing City. If you stay here, things will be inconsistent at that time..."

Zeng Bu didn't say it, but the meaning was very clear.

If you don’t run away now, when Xixia commands troops to go east, the iron hooves will arrive, and I’m afraid I can’t even escape!

Zhao Xu's eyes were a little dazed.

News from Xixia has come. Not long after the news of the defeat of Hezhong Prefecture came, and news of Ouyang Bian ascended the throne in Chang'an City also followed. This news made Zhao Xu feel as if he was struck by lightning, and the court was like boiled water.

Zeng Bu immediately submitted a memorial to request the deprivation of Ouyang Bian's posthumous title, and also requested the deprivation of Ouyang Xiu's posthumous title, and the tomb of Ouyang Xiu was removed.

Fortunately, there were still many people in the court who opposed this suggestion, so they just quietly deleted Ouyang Bian's many achievements, listed Ouyang Bian's books as banned books, and ordered the enterprises under Ouyang Bian's name to be state-owned.

However, to their disappointment, the companies such as Xihu City and Xigong Construction in the Song Dynasty had long been sold, and Oceanwide Group did not know when it quietly changed its owner. Now most of the people who hold these companies are irrelevant court officials, and they are not suitable for investigation.

In fact, these are just acts of venting anger. Zhao Xu also knew that Ouyang Bian was as smart as the sea, so how could he leave a handle for him? He had already made arrangements.

The huge industry has long been sold, and cashing out has become a capital that has fled to Xixia. I heard that Xixia is engaged in construction on Shaanxi Sixth Road, which is probably the capital that has been cashed out.

Zhao Xu was extremely unhappy. Although the industry was accepted, the funds cashed out by Ouyang Bian may be the result of the development of the Song Dynasty over the past decade, and as many as one billion yuan of funds may have flowed out of this way, which made Zhao Xu heartbroken.

Zeng Bu took this opportunity to launch a purge campaign, transferring the Jinshi from Jiayou's second-year list from his posts and putting his own people in his posts, as well as people from the central bank, were also dismissed and replaced with his own people. For a time, Zeng Bu became the person who benefited the most from this campaign.

Zhao Xu took a default attitude towards all this, and others, such as Fan Chunren, did not speak out, because once they spoke, they might be slandered by Zeng Buyi to speak for Ouyang Bian.

So I can only watch Zeng Bu sit on the big side.

But the consequences also came. When the people on Fan Chunren's side wanted to express their political views, they found that the court was full of Zeng Bu's people.

Zhao Xu still abides by this because he is confident in controlling Zeng Bu, the west side he is worried about now.

Although I heard that Xixia was carrying out construction, this did not prevent Ouyang Bian from launching a war. What a terrible force that was 500,000 troops!

So, should you leave or stay now?

It is either impossible to stay or it is too dangerous. Although the treasury can now spend tens of millions of truces to form a million troops, it is an unknown whether it can resist the Xixia army, or the probability of defeat is very high.

This time the defeat of Hezhong Prefecture is actually a very obvious signal. The 300,000 troops, relying on the city, cannot stop the more than 100,000 troops in Xixia. The 300,000 troops were intact, and only 100,000 soldiers who had lost their morale were left.

These soldiers are still elite Northern Army!

In other words, the two most elite troops of the Song Dynasty, the Western Army and the Northern Army, have been broken by the Western Xia army!

At this point, what army can he rely on?

Are you a xiang army?

Or is it an urgently formed new army?

Zhao Xu couldn't imagine that the scene of this group of farmers who had just picked up their swords and guns for a few months went to fight against the professional army of Xixia armed to the teeth. It was really terrible!

Zhao Xu discovered for the first time that when facing a country armed to the teeth, the money of the Song Dynasty did not seem to be so important?

Zhao Xu glanced at Zeng Bu, and Zeng Bu immediately understood.

"...So, Your Majesty, I believe that the first priority at the moment is to immediately go to the southern tour, and then send an envoy to discuss peace. After we reorganize the army, we will naturally be able to recover the lost land at that time, and even attack the Xixia land and capture the thief Ouyang Bian alive!"

Zeng Bu said righteously.

Fan Chunren sneered.

But Zhao Xu had already said: "What do you think about it? Zeng Aiqing's advice is to be honest and upright. I think it's OK. What do you think?"

"I have no objection!"

"I agree."

"Your Majesty's heroic name!"

...

All the officials expressed their consent.

Fan Chunren watched from side to side, but saw that most of the people on his side lowered their heads. He sighed. He said that the general situation was like this, so he could only give up.

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Since that's the case, let's implement it immediately. Zeng Aiqing, you will be assigned to coordinate the matters of the Southern Tour. The rest must cooperate sincerely and overcome the difficulties together!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

All officials responded loudly.

After the court meeting, news of the court's southern tour spread, and the entire Bianjing City and even Kaifeng Prefecture were completely in chaos. The wealthy families in the city were anxious and quickly gathered their property and prepared to follow the court south.

Many people hung up all the houses in Bianjing City and marked them at an unimaginable low price. They wanted to sell them out and save some cash in their hands. When they arrived in Jiangnan, they would have to spend a lot of money!

But in this situation, no one will be optimistic about the future of Bianjing City. Very few people dare to take over, so the house is just lonely.

The rich people in Bianjing City suddenly regretted it and did not buy a house in Jiangnan earlier. In this way, the shrinking of assets is inevitable. Even after such trouble, there may be bankruptcy.

Of course, there are also people who remain stable. Of course, they are not unwilling to move, but they really cannot move. They are considered well-off families. If they move, they will immediately go bankrupt. When they arrive in Jiangnan, they have no place to stay. It is better to stay here to try their luck.

After all, there is news that the current Xixia people are not Dangxiang people in power. The emperor and ministers are both Song people, and it is said that they are all Jinshis on the second year of Jiayou. No matter what, they are all Song people. Can't they be as cruel as Dangxiang people, right?

In fact, there were also a group of merchants in Bianjing City who took the opportunity to take over. These merchants were well-informed. They had channels to know about the policies of Xixia and knew that Xixia had established the policies of lifting merchants.

In other words, even if Xixia occupied Bianjing, it would still respect the property of merchants like themselves, so this is not a disaster. It is obviously a good opportunity to make a fortune by buying at the bottom!

So for a moment, the entire Bianjing City was full of chaos. If it weren't for the imperial guards, all kinds of monsters and monsters would have jumped out.

In fact, the same is true. When the imperial court officially announced its southern tour, many monsters and monsters and monsters jumped out and used various means to make money.

Those with low rank are mainly thieves. They are amazing in the chaos to smash and loot, and then they were killed by the imperial guards. Fortunately, the imperial guards were panic and could not be fully controlled;

Those with slightly higher ranks are tricked by means of saying that there are land and houses that can be bought and sold in Jiangnan, or that there are officials in Jiangnan who can help people find positions. Anyway, it will ultimately be attributed to money, and many people have been deceived;

The one with a very high rank is the bottom-buying factory. For all kinds of industries, especially mines, heavy assets that cannot be taken away, they are quoted at low prices with almost discounted legs, and they are not allowed to bargain. If you like to sell, you will just wait for it to be occupied by the Western Xia army if you don’t sell. At this time, the most important thing is cash, not these assets.

As for land, it is really cheap. No one is willing to accept land assets, because everyone knows that Xixia is implementing state-owned land. Now even if it takes over the land at a low price, even if Xixia redeems it, it will only give it a minimum price and it will not make much money. If you have this money, you can buy more yards or just buy a few factories. Wouldn't it be nice?

Zeng Bu also had troubles, but troubles were not complicated southern tours. He only needed to reconcile them in the center, so he naturally had to do things.

What he was worried about was the problem of asset depreciation. Although he had a lot of cash he had been plundered, but when things came suddenly, he could not cash out all his assets, so he also had many heavy assets on hand. In this situation, these heavy assets would definitely depreciate. When he thought of depreciating so much, he felt a little heartbroken.
