Chapter 513 Hehuang soldiers


Chapter 513 Hehuang soldiers were mobilized

"Don't cry!" Zhang Guifen glared.

Although Brother Yong couldn't even speak and couldn't understand, he was scolded by Zhang Guifen, who was about to cry and immediately turned into an innocent look and looked at Zhang Guifen. "What did you scare him, what can he know when he is still young?" Zhao Xing said.

Zhang Guifen took his son, dragged him with both hands and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I'm not scaring him. Although he doesn't understand, he is smart. Look at him."

Just now, Brother Yong turned his back to him, and Zhao Xing did not see his expression.

I saw his expression at this time, and I didn't look like I wanted to cry. I was looking at him innocently.

Zhao Xing: "..."

What a guy, do you know how to pretend to be crying if you are so old?

And also know who can't afford to offend.

"Your Highness, you see it, he just pretends to cry." Zhang Guifen pinched his son's face and said with a wry smile.

The little guy was pinched his face, looked up at his mother with his head raised, stretched out his little hand and screamed.

It seems that I'm not pretending anymore, why are you still pinching me? "Haha, it's good to be more refined." Zhao Xing laughed and said, "This is my kind!" Zhang Guifen: "..."

Now it was Zhang Guifen's turn to be speechless. She was born in a martial arts family and Zhang Guifen has a relatively straightforward temperament.

She also felt that her son was not as handsome as hers.

Jie Jing was attracted by the jokes, and her head buried in her mother's arms came out of her mother's arms, turned around and watched the excitement.

Zhao Xing turned his head and saw his daughter watching the excitement, with a smile on his little face.

Is this eating melon?

"Come on, let your father hug you." Zhao Xing stretched out his hand.

The little girl was so scared that she buried her head in her mother's arms again.

Zhao Xing: "..."

Zhao Xing finally hugged his daughter. He took turns to hug his sons for a while, perhaps because he was not so afraid of having sex.

It is also possible that seeing my younger brother was hugged, the little girl finally didn't give him the back of her head when she saw Zhao Xing and gave her a face to hug her.

Compared to his son's noisy, Sister Jing was much quieter. She was held in Zhao Xing's arms, and the little girl hugged Zhao Xing's neck, very well-behaved.

This made Zhao Xing like it badly.

He had always liked his daughter, and Jingjie'er was his only daughter at present.

After using supper, Shulan and the girls left with their children. "Your Majesty, go to Sister Li's side tonight." Zhang Guifen said.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded and held Zhang Guifen's hand.

Shulan and his girls were very happy to see Zhao Xing before, but Li Yunchu was not in a high mood and stopped talking a few times.

Zhao Xing could guess some of it, it was nothing more than Li Liangzuo.

……………

Li Yunchu was in a daze, and the palace maid came over and saluted and said, "Empress, the prince is already asleep." "Well, you all go down and rest." Li Yunchu waved his hand and said. "Yes!"

The palace maid bowed and retreated, and soon hurried in again.

"Empress, Your Majesty is here!"

Li Yunchu was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and walked out.

As soon as I left the hall, I saw several palace maids leading the way with lanterns in front, and Zhao Xing walked over from behind.

"I wish you a greeting to Your Majesty!" Li Yunchu said.

"No gift!"

Zhao Xing waved his hand and walked into the hall.

When he came to the main seat, he sat down. Zhao Xing sent out all the palace maids and eunuchs he was serving and looked at Li Yunchu who was standing there.

"Sit down and say."

"Yes!"

Li Yunchu responded, came to Zhao Xing and sat down. For a moment, the two of them fell silent. "Your Majesty, I want to ask, did the emperor really die suddenly?" Li Yunchu asked.

"I thought you would ask about the current situation of Xixia, and whether the Song Dynasty would launch troops against Xixia." Zhao Xing said.

Li Yunchu said bitterly: "I am only one woman, and I cannot control the world's general trend. Whether the Song Dynasty will send troops to Xixia is not something I can stop it."

"The death of Li Liangzuo was claimed by the Western Xia to the outside world by a sudden death. However, as far as I know, it should be done by the Liang family." Zhao Xing said. "I knew the Liang family was not kind, but the emperor didn't listen." Li Yunchu said, and tears flowed down.

When her father passed away, she was still young and didn't remember anything at all, and she didn't feel anything.

Although she was a princess, the government was controlled by the empress dowager and her parents' family at that time, and she had a hard time.

When Li Liangzuo remembered, his mother lived in other palaces all year round and raised many concubines. The government affairs in the court were completely controlled by his uncle and did not take him seriously at all.

The two are half-brothers. It is in that situation that the siblings depend on each other and establish a sibling relationship.

Li Liangzuo first married his uncle's daughter, and Empress Liang was his cousin's wife.

But Queen Liang always entered the palace under the excuse of visiting her sister-in-law and hooked up with Li Liangzuo.

Li Yunchu also accidentally saw Empress Liang come out of Li Liangzuo's bedroom and learned about this.

At that time, she felt that things were not that simple and reminded Li Liangzuo.

But Li Liangzuo said that if he wants to regain power, he must rely on the Liang family.

Li Yunchu didn't understand these things, and after several persuasions were useless, he stopped persuading them.

Zhao Xing stopped seeing Li Yunchu speak and said, "I thought you would ask me to help Li Liangzuo revenge."

"If Your Majesty wants to launch troops against Xixia, my grudge will naturally avenge you. If Your Majesty does not have this intention, it will be useless if I say it." Li Yunchu said.

Zhao Xing was stunned, but he didn't expect Li Yunchu to be so calm.

"In fact, if I do not send troops, the Liang family will not have a good life. Empress Liang was captured and returned to the Song Dynasty. Without the Liang family, the Liang family was not a match for the Xixia Dangxiang nobles."

"The news came from Xixia that the Xixia Dangxiang nobles had already supported your brother's son to succeed the throne. Although the Liang family was not destroyed, they were marginalized. Now the Dangxiang nobles in Xixia are fighting for power. When things come to an end, they should attack the Liang family." Zhao Xing said.

Empress Liang and her son are both very important for the Liang family to control the power of Xixia.

But really count it, Empress Liang is more important than Prince Xixia.

The Prince of Xixia was young after all, and after he succeeded to the throne, he was just a puppet.

With Queen Liang, the power of Xixia will fall on Queen Liang. Although Liang Guangchuan was the prime minister of Xixia, most of the officials in the Xixia Dynasty were Dangxiang nobles, especially the army, almost all of them were in the hands of Dangxiang nobles.

With Li Liangzuo's support, Liang Guangchuan, the prime minister, could control the real power.

The effect is the same as Queen Liang.

But now the little emperor of Xixia is just a puppet and cannot control the power. The party nobles of Xixia cannot make Liang Guangchuan the person who controls the puppet. "These are nothing more important." Li Yunchu shook his head.

In Xixia, she only cared about Li Liangzuo.

Now that Li Liangzuo is dead, she actually doesn't care whether the civil strife in Xixia will perish or not.

Zhao Xing smiled, it would be fine.

No matter what, Li Yunchu gave birth to a son for him, and Zhao Xing didn't want to inject her into the cold palace.

If she had thought about Xixia, who would know what she would do when the Song Dynasty sent troops to Xixia in the future.

But Zhao Xing didn't feel relieved just because she said that.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

When he turned around, Zhao Xing would definitely make people stare at Li Yunchu. If she really didn't care about these things, it would be fine, otherwise Zhao Xing wouldn't be ruthless just because she gave birth to a son for her.

…………

"Your Majesty, this is a reward formulated by the Privy Council based on its merits." Zeng Gongliang said with his hands holding the prick.

Sanshui came forward to take it and delivered it to Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing took it and opened it and looked at it. As the chief general, the British princess naturally gave the highest reward.

However, the reward for the British Duke was not high, with only some gold, silver and land.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing frowned and said, "Why did the British Duke give so little reward?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, many people in the court impeached the British Duke. Although they were suppressed by Your Majesty, if there were too many rewards, those people would probably not give up." Zeng Gongliang said. "So you gave it a little bit and gave it a reward, but not much. But have you ever thought about it? Doing this is equivalent to admitting that the Duke of England is plundering the benefits, which is indeed true." Zhao Xing said lightly, unable to see the joy and anger.

Zeng Gongliang looked at Zhao Xing's face and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, it is true that the British Duke accepts benefits. Doing this will be good to the court and the British Duke."

"Good to the court? Good to the British Duke?"

Zhao Xing sneered when he heard this, "Then tell me what's going on?"

Zeng Gongliang was silent when he heard this.

"Why don't you talk?"

Zhao Xing said coldly, "Then let me say it. If you do this, the court will save rewards and can calm the hearts of those civil officials. The British Duke doesn't need to worry that he will be too successful, so he is good to the court and good to the British Duke, right?" Zeng Gongliang was silent for a while and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, this is the British Duke's hard work."

"Teacher's hard work?"

Zhao Xing looked at Zeng Gongliang's coldness and said, "The British Duke is a military general. He can't understand some things, do you still understand?"

"Have you ever thought that I pretended not to know, and what consequences would be if I agreed to this matter?"

"Civil officials will feel that I want to suppress military generals, but the military generals will be disappointed!"

"Most of the soldiers in the army have not experienced wars this Northern Expedition, and many of them are local soldiers, but the soldiers fought bravely on the battlefield, what are they for?"

"For the reward I promised! You literati have read the books of sages, but the soldiers do not."

"If the granaries are full, you know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace. The soldiers cannot even support their families. Do you expect them to go to the battlefield to fight bravely to fight the enemy? Only with heavy rewards will there be brave men."

"Yes, I agree that this matter, the soldiers do not know the inside story. But what about the generals in the army? Will they worry that they will learn to be self-deprecated in the future, and even dare not make contributions?"

Zhao Xing did not think there was anything wrong with restricting the rights of military generals.

In this ancient system, whether in terms of power and stability or the stability of the world, there was no problem in restricting the rights of military generals and preventing military generals from gaining their own troops.

But all this is based on the premise of peace in the world.

Whoever hides all the birds? How can one destroy the good bow before the birds are gone?

Restricting the rights of military generals and preventing rebellion from happening is the matter after destroying the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia.

And even if he does this, Zhao Xing will not think that the Song Dynasty is so pathological now.

The British Duke's starting point is good, but Zhao Xing wants the soldiers of the world to see his attitude towards military generals. "Your Majesty, no matter what, it is a fact that the Duke of England receives benefits." Zeng Gongliang said.

In fact, he knew what the British Duke did from the beginning and even advised him to the British Duke.

But the British Duke said that the court was in a difficult situation, and he made great contributions and had to give rewards.

As the head coach, he cannot refuse the reward, otherwise what should he do if other soldiers are allowed to do?

So this can only be done in this way so that the court will not give him rewards.

And he was also a relative of the foreign country. He had a high prestige in the army. With the status of a relative of the foreign country, he was not good at staying high in the court.

Gongliang Zeng admired the British Duke so well and was convinced by him.

Zhao Xing frowned slightly, this is indeed a problem.

Although he suppressed the impeachment voice in the court, some soldiers in the army could guess that the British Duke was self-deprecating, so naturally there were some simple-minded people who could not see the inside story.

If Zhao Xing did not take it seriously, what would these people think?

Silenced for a long time, Zhao Xing said, "The reward should be based on this one, and the Duke of England was also appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council!"

Although this reward is not enough to express his merits, it is not light.

No matter what the soldiers think, they have an explanation.

"Yes!"

When Zeng Gongliang saw Zhao Xing's face was firm, he did not persuade him again.

It is very common for military generals to serve as deputy envoys of Privy Councilors and will not touch the sensitive nerves of civil servants.

Zhao Xing looked at the rewards of other soldiers again. Seeing that there was no problem, he put down Zhazi and said, "The others will be formulated by Zhazi. However, people should be sent to supervise to ensure that the rewards and pensions can be fully distributed. In addition, if the soldiers who have fallen in the battle have difficulties at home, they also need to take care of them. If the rewards of the soldiers who have made meritorious are deducted by someone, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will supervise seriously. However, one person is for personal gain and two are for public service. It is not appropriate to just hand it over to the Privy Council for this matter. I believe that the Censorate should be allowed to participate in the supervision!" Zeng Gongliang said.

"Well, I'm sure." Zhao Xing nodded and asked, "By the way, where is Gu Tingye and the reward of those 30,000 soldiers?" "Your Majesty, the Xixia side has not yet condemned the envoys. Gu Du's commander and his soldiers are not suitable for rewards now." Zeng Gongliang said.

The Song Dynasty and Xixia had an alliance after all, so Gu Tingye took the initiative to send troops, which was considered to be a sabotage of the alliance.

In addition, whether to let Queen Liang return to Xixia depends on the result of the Xixia envoys coming to the Song Dynasty for negotiations.

If he wanted to release him, he might even punish Gu Tingye for Xixia. "Do you think Xixia wants Empress Liang to go back? Xixia was abducted in Empress Liang, so she asked the Song Dynasty to return Empress Liang and sent envoys to arrive long ago." Zhao Xing sneered.

The nobles of Dangxiang of Xixia did not want Queen Liang to go back at all.

However, the Liang family was eager to welcome Queen Liang back.

But no one was sent from the Liang family, which means that the Liang family was at a disadvantage in the internal strife in the Western Xia Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, since Xixia does not want to see Empress Liang go back, I think the Song Dynasty should let Empress Liang go back." Zeng Gongliang smiled and said, "Now is different from before. The Liang family is weak, and even if Empress Liang goes back, it will be difficult to reverse this situation in a short time. This will inevitably make the civil strife in Xixia last longer." Zhao Xing was silent for a while after hearing this. Just as he was about to speak, Sanshui hurried over and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, urgent reports from the northwest are coming, Hehuang has been invading against Xixia!"
