Chapter 471

After Su Dongpo stood up, he passionately expressed his contempt and denunciation of the kind of people who crowed and thieves in Xixia. At the same time, he believed that the Song Dynasty was a great country and had been good enough to Xixia over the years.

But the other party not only did not appreciate it, but kept attacking the border town of Dasong. For such a slut whom people hate, they should beat them up so that they could know that the pot was made of steel.

Su Dongpo's talent is not a hype, and his eloquence is definitely not a magnificent one. Otherwise, with only a few people in the Shu Party, facing the attacks of dozens of old party members, how could it be difficult to decide the outcome?

Therefore, Su Dongpo's passionate words made Zhao Xu intoxicated, and Gao Taotao's state of mind, which was like water, couldn't help but fluctuate, since the defeat of the Battle of Yongle City when Emperor Shenzong was in power.

The Song Dynasty had always adopted a defensive move towards the Western Xia and had no intention of making progress. However, the Western Xia came to attack every year and came to fight, which made the border areas of the Song Dynasty very annoyed.

However, since the old party came to power, it has held high the banner of peace and not war, strictly prohibited provocations in border towns, and even punished several officials who had arbitrarily engaged in border conflicts and disputes.

For the Western Xia and Northern Liao, they gave in step by step, saying that the Song Dynasty wanted to use gentleness and kindness to influence each other, so that the other party could feel the benevolence and righteousness of the Song Dynasty. In the end, they were so moved that they cried and regretted it. Finally, they held the hand of friendship extended by the Song Dynasty and sang together so big that the world was just a family...

But now, or today, I don’t know which of these guys are being sucked. The style of painting is too harmonious. Whether it is the civil servants or military generals, they all have the same attitude and believe that the damn Xixia barbarians must be severely punished to let them know that the Song Dynasty held the Four Books and Five Classics in its left hand, but the Song Dynasty held the Sword of the King in its right hand.

After Su Dongpo finished speaking, in addition to the royal officials and some neutral officials who continued to appear, the military generals and many old party members and backbone members all stood up and clamored to let Xixia Xiaoxia see the benefits of the military armor of the Song Dynasty.

You must wave the powerful and powerful fist of Da Song until the damn Xixia cried and shouted Da Song's father.

Now, Zhao Xu was also confused. What the hell is this? In the past, he jumped up and shouted that he wanted to fight and not be peaceful. That was the right of the generals, or the right of his passionate young emperor. When will it be the turn of these civil officials who would quarrel with their morality in every war and jump up and down.

It was too unscientific, and the young emperor Zhao Xu also found something was wrong. But isn’t this situation exactly what he longed to see countless times in the past?

After Gao Taotao announced his retreat, the ministers who spoke out loudly for war and not peace finally slowly left the hall, while Gao Taotao sat behind the bamboo curtain with exhausted expressions, with his expression still full of confusion and doubts.

Zhao Xu could have left straight as usual, but when he saw the emperor's grandmother behind the curtain for a long time, he couldn't help but get up and walked over. "Grandmother, the emperor's grandmother has dispersed, why don't the grandson take you back?"

Gao Taotao, who was a little dazed, finally came back to his senses, lifted up the bamboo curtain and walked out. Looking at this face that looked like the Emperor of the Shenzong, he couldn't help but show a rare look of kindness. "Okay, the Ai family has a lot of words in their hearts today, want to chat with the official family, let's go together..."

Walking slowly on the way to the Chunqiu Palace, Gao Taotao subconsciously glanced at Zhao Xu beside him, but noticed that whenever he had always liked to fight, kill, or whenever he encountered a border quarrel, he would either look extremely angry or would forcefully ask for troops to send troops, his expression seemed a little too calm now.

Gao Tao, who was puzzled in his heart, couldn't help but ask curiously. "Officials, in your opinion, how do you think the performance of all the ministers and workers in the court today?"

Zhao Xu smiled a little. "The grandson couldn't tell me, but I just felt that things seemed a little strange. What's important is that in my Song Dynasty, these officials who have always been intriguing have become so together..."

"It seems that the official family is really growing up now. Even though they are already thinking about things in their hearts, they don't show any of them on the surface. OK..." Gao Taotao couldn't help but nod in praise and said, "When he heard this, he said.

However, Zhao Xu also had something to ask Gao Taotao. "Grandma Emperor, since all the civil and military officials in the court thought that Xixia offended the border of the Song Dynasty this time, we should teach the other party a lesson. However, you did not give a clear answer. Could it be that you think that my Song Dynasty is really not as good as Xixia?"

"Don't underestimate the Xixia, otherwise be careful like the late emperor. The Song Dynasty today cannot bear the defeat in Yongle City." Gao Taotao sighed slowly and looked at the young and energetic grandson beside him.

I can't help but recall that when Emperor Shenzong heard about the great defeat in Yongle City, he cried and fell ill in bed. It can almost be said that he was in a state of disgrace. In just over two years, he died in his prime.

If it were in the past, Zhao Xu would definitely refute immediately without being happy. But now, after hearing Wang Yang's reasonable analysis, Zhao Xu, who had completely believed Wang Yang's words, nodded gently.

"My grandson knows that although my Song Dynasty is powerful, because of its vast territory, it can only adopt a defensive force everywhere. However, the national strength of the Western Xia is not as strong as my Song Dynasty, but it can gather strength to form a cone..."

"...You, the official family, are all these things you thought of?" Gao Taotao looked at the grandson who had changed so much from the past, who was indeed a little beyond his expectations, and asked in surprise.

"Most of these were analyzed to my grandson by Wang Wushan before. My grandson felt that what he said seemed quite reasonable. I don't know, Grandma, you..."

Gao Taotao took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. "Official family, please start from the beginning, let the Ai family listen carefully, how Wang Wushan told you."

After Zhao Xu simply received the news of the invasion of Xixia, he explained in detail the content of the communication with Wang Yang and Gao Taotao knew about it.

After hearing this, Gao Taotao had to nod his head in a deep opinion. "This Wang Wushan is indeed an unparalleled countryman..."

"I didn't expect that he was so young, not only had great talent, but also had a lot of research on military strategy. The Ai family was becoming more and more curious. What else did he not understand in this world?"

"Sun'er also thinks that there are not many things in this world that can really fall into Wangwu Mountain..." Zhao Xu couldn't help but say with emotion.
