Zhao Xu asked the officials of the Dushui Supervisory Commission to question Cheng Fang, and Wen Yanbo even used his power to question Cheng Fang in various ways.

If history remains unchanged, in fact, during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, the fastest population increase was not in the time of Xining, but in the time of Yuanfeng. The reason is very simple. It was Wang Anshi who implemented the farmland water conservancy law, from various water conservancy in Hebei to Jiangdongwei in the south, their emergence feeds more people.

Cheng Fang had to take half of the credit for Hebei.

However, because Cheng Fang was an eunuch and did not follow Wen Yanbo, Han Qi and others, he now added a grudge out of thin air, that is, Wang Ju got very close to him, and the result was all kinds of slander.

Under the leadership of Wen Yanbo, countless scholars and officials attacked Cheng Fang in a frantically, causing him to die of worries and anger two years in advance...

But the old literary matters are getting bigger, it’s not that the time has not come!

The second reason is that the Khitan came to blackmail.

This severe drought in Xining in the seventh year was ranked among the entire history of China.

If the Liao Kingdom could express some kindness slightly, even if the envoys came to express condolences, Zhao Xu might not be so angry, and even left a will. Whoever could recover Yan Yun would be granted the title of King of a different surname.

But the Liao Kingdom did not. Seeing the severe drought in the Song Dynasty, he immediately sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty and told Zhao Xu that our two countries would discuss the border again.

Zhao Xu was immediately confused.

He thought of what Wang Ju said in the memorial that the Song and Liao dynasties had not started a war for a long time, the border people were relaxed, the border troops could not fight, and even some forts were almost abandoned. Once there was a change, the capital was in danger. Therefore, a powerful ban on troops and cavalry must be trained, and then a border troops were set up in Hedong, Hebei as appropriate.

Sure enough, it's here.

Now not only is the border relaxed, but the people are also fleeing famine, and the whole of Hebei is in chaos.

Think about what consequences will be if the Liao Kingdom takes the opportunity to invade at this time?

Therefore, he asked Liu Chen and Lu Dazhong to accompany the Liao envoy Xiao Xi to negotiate on the border. When Liu Lulin left the capital, he said shyly and angrily: "The Liao country is full of rough people, and if the reason is not reasonable, they will be rough. They will give them whatever they want."

It means that as long as you can stabilize the Liao Kingdom and not send troops, even if you cede some land in moderation, I will not blame you!

Regardless of whether history changes or not, this blackmail by the Liao Kingdom was actually a devastating blackmail, and it repeatedly came to blackmail when our Song Dynasty was in trouble.

Anyway, your Liao Kingdom does not keep your promises, so why should our Song Dynasty keep your promises? Once our Song Dynasty becomes strong, why can't we tear up the treaty and send troops to your Liao Kingdom!

Okay, if history does not change, the Alliance on the Sea is here...
