Lu Huiqing, the Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall of the Great Song Dynasty and the Hedong General Pacification Envoy, was stretching his neck and looking towards the direction of the Kuye River, looking forward to the Western Xia envoy.

He is now more eager to end the war than anyone else.

because……

He gently held the Yuan Shu paper in his hand.

On the paper is the hand edict written by the young master of Bian Jing and the imperial pen to him.

There is a saying in the edict that makes him excited, excited, and even more joyful.

"When Huangkao was there, he once told me that today there are gentlemen and Confucian scholars, villains and confucian scholars. Confucian scholars are the foundation of Confucian scholars, and villains are the end... The gentlemen and Confucian scholars are the best at governing the Hedong River and the Lu Qing!"

Gentleman Confucianism and villain Confucianism are the names of enemies and me when the Confucianism divides factions since ancient times.

Just like treacherous, villain, and wise ministers.

The best way to use lies in one's heart!

However, the New Party put forward the standards for division.

What is a gentleman and Confucianism? What is the basic thing!

What is a villain? What is a villain? It is the one who strives for the end!

And the foundation and the end of the world have their own explanations in the framework of new learning.

In simple terms, what you do and what you are pragmatic is to do is to be the main thing.

Those who pursue fame and fortune and immediate benefits, or those who hold aside their own hands, are going to the end.

Above the gentleman and Confucian scholars, it is the academic leader who leads all, the incarnation of Confucius, and the collection of the sages such as Mencius, Xunzi, and Yang Xiong who walk in the secular world.

It is the role Wang Anshi played in the past.

Therefore, there is no need to describe Lu Huiqing's mood at this time.

In his opinion, the young master's hand-in-chief was telling him in a vague way that he was the gentleman and Confucian one I wanted to rely on and the role model I wanted to learn from!

Every time Lu Huiqing thinks of this, she will tremble all over and be excited.

Because he always overlaps the image of the young master with the late emperor in the early years of Xining in his mind.

And in this fantasy, he would regard himself as Wang Anshi of that year.

Wang Anshi, in the early years of Xining, was the imperial teacher. The late emperor relied on, trusted and admired him.

As long as Lu Huiqing thinks this way, he will be full of energy.

I can bear any grievances and do anything.

So he was willing to rest assured to wait for the Xixia envoy to come to Jialu Village.

Instead of rushing to the north again and heading straight to Mingtang River.

Lu Huiqing's waiting finally came to an end.

"Mr.!" His beloved general Zi Hu came to him and said, "The brave commander of the army in the left wing of Xixia sent a military officer to report that the Empress Dowager Wei Mingmoduo, who came from Xiazhou to the court through Zuoxiang, begged the minister to send personnel to receive him."

Lu Huiqing snorted and raised her head proudly: "I understand!"

...

Return to the Zichen Hall in Bianjing.

"Sixth Brother, why did you think of peace?" Queen Mother Xiang asked in surprise.

Zhao Xu turned around and smiled and said, "I'm going back to my mother, this is the Emperor's teaching."

"Um?"

"Huangkao once taught me that war is not war, but politics, so since ancient times, the military and the country are integrated! Therefore, military affairs are the continuation of national affairs, and it is also a major event related to the rise and fall of the world and the prosperity and decline of the country. We must be careful!"

"So, Huangkao taught me that whenever I use military force, I should think about how to end it!"

"I will do my best and do it within my power, and I will not do it even though I know it cannot do it!"

When Zhao Xu said this, he showed a look of memories: "Huangkao also said: No matter when and wherever he is, the lord should leave redundancy and wait for the most! Do not be impatient, especially do not have the idea of ​​completing his achievements in one battle!"

"When using troops, you need not only consider the victory or defeat, but also the difficulties of people's livelihood and the country's financial resources!"

The two palaces listened and swallowed.

"Is this the late emperor?" The two palaces had questions at the same time.

The late emperor who likes stuart every time?

Is it possible?

The ministers listened as if they were listening to myths.

Can the late emperor say such words?

But if you think about it carefully... everyone has to believe it!

Because the late emperor experienced the setbacks of the five routes of attacking Xia in his later years and the disappointment of the Battle of Yongle City.

From the third year of Yuanfeng to the seventh year of Yuanfeng, the continuous failure of military adventures may have really made him begin to reflect, and taught these reflected experiences to the present.

There is only one explanation!

otherwise……

Who else can it be?

Who else can say that such as "Weapons are not wars, but are actually politics, and are the continuation of state affairs" is rich in philosophy and contains quite profound military and political experience?

Who else can summarize the experience of "the ruler should leave redundancy and wait for extraordinary times"?

It was only the one who defeated Xia in the five ways, suffered a great loss and ruined the good fortune.

During the Battle of Yongle City, he believed in Xu Xi too much and took a gamble, but ended up losing the late emperor!

Only he has had such an experience!

No one else has such an experience or such a mind.

But even so, the young master could accept it when he was young, and remembered the teachings of the late emperor in his heart, and used them in national affairs.

It's really shocking!

"Only I, the Great Song Dynasty's English, Martial, Holy and Filial Emperor, are sacred and wise..." Everyone bowed to Yongyuling again.

Then, they bowed to Zhao Xu and bowed to him, saying congratulations: "Only Your Majesty, I knew it before, that the country is blessed and the country is blessed!"

Zhao Xu listened to the compliment and raised his lips slightly.

These are actually the experiences he learned and summarized when he was studying in modern times.

The bigger the country, the more redundant it should be, the more careful it should be, and take every step forward.

To be simple, you must learn to be dependent!

Don’t let it go easily without absolute certainty and make sufficient preparations!

This experience, along with the lessons he summed up with his life in his previous life, became his current principle of using politics and governing.

The lesson is that as an emperor, he must live long enough! He must have a healthy body!

Even if a king who died young and died short of life has thousands of ambitions, his ambitions will be in vain!

"If it weren't for this war suddenly..." Zhao Xu sighed in his heart: "I wouldn't be in a hurry and want to attack the officials!"

Yes, originally, he planned to make progress and take it slowly in the reform of the Ministry of Commerce.

However, this sudden war disrupted his rhythm.

Force him to start attacking the officials in advance.

no way!

War is a gold-swalking beast.

Not only in the process of war, but also a lot of money has to be spent to recover after the war.

Zhang Dun's southern expedition is over until now.

The funds invested have exceeded one million yuan from May to now!

At this point, Zhang Dun tried his best to save money, and Zhao Xu also detained all the eight states of Jiaozhou and enfeoffed the chieftains.

Otherwise, the cost of setting up a stream of officials and registering households and people will probably break through the sky.

Now, this war is average.

Even if it is over now, it is normal to burn eight or nine million coins.

Every month the war lasts, and military expenditures are millions of chunks!

And aftermath rewards, pensions and other matters will require heavy bleeding!

This is just the price to repel Xixia.

If we want to destroy Xixia and establish effective rule in the land of Lingxia...
To be continued...
