Chapter 669

Nowadays, it can be regarded as the weakest time in Xixia. Some people in ancient times said that taking advantage of his illness and killing him. At this time, Zhao Xu always felt that he seemed to see a glimmer of hope that had never been before.

That is the dream of all the emperors since the founding of the Song Dynasty: to pacify the Western Xia and regain the hometown of China. Re-incorporate the vast territory of thousands of miles into the arms of the Song Dynasty, allowing the Song Dynasty to open up the Silk Road in the Western Regions and also gain the hope of a place to raise horses that lasted thousands of miles.

At that time, the power comparison between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty will suddenly turn over. The Song Dynasty is now rich enough, but it lacks a large amount of mobile assault power, just like the Han and Tang Dynasties: cavalry.

This makes it difficult for the Song army to pursue and defeat the enemy even if it wins a great victory. Instead, it is often harassed by the enemy cavalry, and sometimes it will turn victory into defeat.

If we could pacify the Western Xia and gain thousands of miles of horse-raising land, the Song Dynasty could obtain at least tens of thousands of good horses every year. With the wealth of the Song Dynasty, it would not be a dream to organize an elite cavalry that was no less than the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"Your worries are indeed somewhat reasonable. Wang Wushan is really too popular, but a great talent like him and a pillar of the country are afraid that no matter where he is placed, he cannot cover up his light." After hearing Zhao Xu's analysis, Gao Taotao nodded deeply and said.

"And after hearing your analysis from the official family, the Ai family was really curious. In less than half a year, the strength comparison between the Song Dynasty and Xixia has been turned upside down. I really want to see if he was allowed to stay on Shaanxi Road, would it be..."

Gao Taotao's heart also had expectations as much as Zhao Xu. Although Wang Wushan was not the chief official in several battles before, his influence, or every battle, could not allow you to ignore his existence.

It was precisely because of his existence that the Song Dynasty won one huge victory after another. Therefore, if he was really allowed to stay there, perhaps there might be more surprises.

When Zhao Xu saw Gao Taotao agreeing with his point of view, he breathed a sigh of relief and explained the reasons for his custody. "But now he is already the governor of Huanzhou, and the Shaanxi Road Strategic Pacifier is a minister of the border, and he cannot take responsibility for it. He is too young. Even if he is asked to serve as the deputy envoy of the Strategic Pacifier, he will be criticized by the government and the public."

"But if Wang Wushan moved to his place, his grandson would be unwilling to accept it." This was true. Seeing the existence of Wang Wushan, the blessing star of the Song Dynasty, made the Song Dynasty win consecutive battles. If he left, his luck might not be on the Song Dynasty, so what should we do?

Maybe the hope that could have appeared was suddenly shattered, which is what Zhao Xu most reluctant to see.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it. Wait for the Ai family to think carefully... Now, Wang Wushan has become the founding marquis of Jiuyuan County, the third-rank rank, and the Longtu Pavilion is waiting for the commander of Huanzhou."

"If you move forward further... you have to stay on Shaanxi Road." Gao Taotao couldn't help but frown. This is really difficult.

Zhao Xu looked at Gao Taotao, who had been in charge of the government for many years, and at present, he was afraid that only this emperor's grandmother could give him suitable and prudent advice.

If it were those ministers, haha... at least in Zhao Xu's eyes, among the civil and military officials in the court, it would be difficult to find a minister who had no selfishness and was devoted to the court of the Song Dynasty.

Over the past few days, not to mention the old parties who are now in the court, even the new parties who were exiled to remote places have expressed their loyalty at the first time.

Then I hope that Your Majesty will quickly get them back to the court, serve the Song Dynasty, and be determined to create a magnificent new era with the emperor who was in charge of power.

Although one or two speaks better than the singing, if it were the young emperor Zhao Xu, who had never met Wang Wushan, he might have returned the imperial edicts from these ministers to the court immediately, and then demoted the old parties in the court to the capital.

Then, these new parties suppressed and persecuted the old parties, and eventually, the court turned into a battlefield of political rights. No one cared about the rise and fall of the country and the country. What they cared more about was the size of the power in their hands.

In his long-term relationship with Wang Yang, it has to be said that Wang Yang has successfully brainwashed the young emperor Zhao Xu with his first-class mouth.

At least he praised the young emperor very well, which also made Zhao Xu realize that the emperor should not obviously take sides, but should maintain the greatest degree of neutrality and examine his subjects with an objective attitude.

Instead of promoting and demoting ministers because of their own likes and dislikes, they will only focus on how to please the emperor, rather than how to do their own jobs well, and weeping the pain of the greater prosperity and strength of the Song Dynasty.

If others talked to Zhao Xu about such a topic, I am afraid that this young emperor with the typical rebellious mentality of young people would not have listened to it at all.

But, Wang Yang has already relied on his talent and personal charm, and has become a confidant with Zhao Xu who can talk to each other at night and sleep. Of course, they have never really resisted it. After all, these two guys are pure manly and real men.

Therefore, Zhao Xu was able to treat the changes of court officials after he was in power with a calm attitude, and also considered the sudden promotion and promotion of the new party members, which would inevitably become the counterattack of the old party and the new party's rise and fall.

In this way, Zhao Xu was really worried that this would prevent the court from focusing all his attention on Shaanxi Road. At that time, he would probably not be able to provide enough support to the border troops and imperial guards of Shaanxi Road.

For the dreams of the late emperors since the founding of the Song Dynasty, to restore the old lands of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and to let the people of the world know that I, Zhao Xu, is definitely the most outstanding and wise monarch since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Xu suppressed many impulses in his heart, maintained the stability of the prefecture, and continued to provide enough people and material support to Shaanxi Road.

"It would not be difficult if Wang Wushan stayed there." Just as Zhao Xu was thinking a lot, Gao Taotao, who had been thinking for a long time, finally breathed a long breath and showed a relieved smile.

"Grandma, have you thought of some good ideas?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at Gao Taotao, who looked like a wise bead, and asked impatiently.
