Chapter 864

"Then we can only wait for them to lose, and we will discuss peace with the emperor. Now that I am becoming more and more mature and have more and more opinions, we must not be too urgent. In this way, it will easily cause adverse effects. What do you think?"

"The public statement is reasonable, so let's not mention this matter for the time being, wait for the opportunity..."

"But just doing nothing is not good? At least we should be able to do something." Zhu Guangting nodded, but still did not give up.

"What else can we do? Can we impeach him, Wang Yang, Wang Wushan, fear the enemy and fight, and dare not leave the city?" Another old party official next to him couldn't help but say to this guy. It was so annoying.

"Of course it's not this. Wang Wushan privately granted the title of a foreign clan. This is the opportunity of war, but there is a saying in the good news. I wonder if you have noticed it. It is 'give the generals of the Wanyan clan to the Han surname to show that they are my ministers of the Song Dynasty.' Don't forget that this is the right that only the emperor has..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present could not help but lit up their eyes! Oh my god, I didn’t expect that Zhu Guangting, you, would have such a move.

Liu Zhi's eyes also narrowed and said slowly in a deep voice. "Since the Tang Dynasty, those who have made great contributions in the court have reported to the emperor that the emperor gave his surnames for his merits to show his honor and honor, which has become a common practice since the Tang Dynasty."

"But I have never heard of anyone other than the emperor who gave the surname to a different race. Such actions are indeed subject to discussion..."

"Why are the officials frowning? I won the victory in the Song Dynasty in succession. This is a great thing." After seeing these good news, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao smiled rarely. Just as he raised his eyes, he saw the emperor Zhao Xu's brows and asked with concern.

"The officials in the court feel that the strength comparison between our Song Dynasty and the Liao and Xia coalition forces was too great. Although we had won the past, we were mostly small victories. We were more able to take advantage of the opportunity of Yuzhou to attract the main coalition forces of Liao and Xia in Youzhou..."

"Now, the Liaoxia coalition forces are still attacking Youzhou City. It has been nearly a month since then. Although Wang Wushan has been prepared for the Liaoxia invasion and vigorously repairing the Youzhou City Defense, after all, the troops are insufficient, and I am really worried about him..."

The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao nodded in understanding. "Yes, it has been nearly a month since the war started. The city of Youzhou was not big at all. Although he has strengthened the city defenses by Wang Wushan, facing such a large number of Liaoxia coalition forces, it really makes the Ai family feel like they are taking the fire from the fire..."

"Then Grandmother, do you think the peace talks are right now?" Zhao Xu nodded slightly after hearing Gao Taotao's analysis.

"Peace discussion?" Gao Taotao looked at Zhao Xu with surprise. "Do you want to shake hands with Liao Xia and make peace?"

"My grandson is a little worried. If there is trouble in Youzhou, then there will be creatures in the three states. And whether I can firmly defend the lines of salt, Hong and Yin will have to ask questions." Zhao Xu nodded with some distress and explained his point of view.

"You have considered all these yourself?" Gao Taotao narrowed his eyes and gently tapped his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Of course it was also proposed by the ministers at the court meeting today." Zhao Xu sighed lightly.

"It is indeed necessary to have such concerns. If you don't want to win, you must consider everything carefully. You are now becoming more and more wise as a wise king..."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, thinking that what's wrong? He was obviously not asking this question, but why did the emperor's grandmother praise him when she answered the question? Well... Could it be that after reaching a certain age, the emperor's grandmother is also a little bit wrong?

As if seeing the doubt in Zhao Xu's eyes, Gao Taotao shook his head with a chuckle. "Your Majesty, the Ai family and you are far away from the capital Bianliang, thousands of miles away from the battlefield. Compared with this, I believe they must have a more say in this matter, right?..."

Gao Taotao pointed his finger on the good news and said meaningfully. "As for all the officials in the court, it is naturally good to have such concerns. After all, they are also thinking about me, the Song Dynasty."

"But, military and national affairs are not a joke. We should not only listen to the views of these important officials in the court, but also ask the soldiers on the battlefield, otherwise they would bleeding in front of us, but we were rashly talking. Is this too hurting the morale of the army?"

Emperor Zhao Xu suddenly realized the truth and quickly picked up the good news to carefully examine it. Seeing Emperor Zhao Xu's behavior, the Empress Dowager nodded slightly with satisfaction, and said slowly while saying.

"Although Mr. Su is not very listening to his words, he is a loyal and upright minister. Therefore, if he cannot fight, he should have mentioned it in correspondence or memorials..."

"As for the boy Wang Wushan, although this man is strong, he is not an unreasonable person. Before, although he inferred that the Liao Kingdom would inevitably attack Song with the Xixia coalition forces, he kept secretly preparing to relieve His Majesty's worries and did not send out..."

"Yes, when he was trapped in the city for half a month, Wang Wushan specially sent someone to sneak out of Youzhou and asked Scholar Su to bring me a letter in person, saying that he used his strength to attack and provoked the relationship between the Liao Kingdom and the female Nao Wanyan tribe, and even brought several generals of the Wanyan tribe under his command."

"At that time, he also mentioned in his letter that Youzhou is as solid as a god, so that I don't have to worry about the safety of Youzhou."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and smiled. "That's it. Mr. Su did not say anything, and Wang Wushan was full of confidence. Since that's the case, how about your Majesty give them some more time?"

"Thank you, the emperor's grandmother, for answering the doubts. After a while, my grandson will send a letter to Su Xueshi and Wang Wushan, ask about the situation and their respective judgments, and then make a conclusion." After the emperor Zhao Xu bowed to Gao Taotao, he made the most appropriate decision.

Seeing this scene, Gao Taotao nodded slightly with a smile and praised her kindness. In fact, the scheming Gao Taotao also understood.

I am afraid that Liu Zhi and others are not only pretending to be safe and safe in the safety of the military and civilians on the border of Shaanxi Road... But since His Majesty has not seen through these things, he doesn't need to say them out. Now in the court, the monarch and ministers are harmonious, so there is no need for him to disturb the emperor.

Everything, after the war is over, there is time. In the current war, stability is the priority.

Zhao Xu glanced at the thoughtful grandmother. In fact, after the grandmother asked her for details and analyzed her, Zhao Xu gradually saved herself from the truth.
