Zhao Zhen was waiting for Jiao Siluo's explanation from the beginning, but he never waited. He knew why Jiao Siluo was not explaining this matter as soon as possible. Since he had already born, it would seem pale and powerless no matter how he explained it.

The relationship between Jiao Siluo and the Song Dynasty has always been harmonious. Although both sides have their own plans in their hearts, they have not yet announced it. It is not an exaggeration to prevent it from behind. It is like a "pustules". Everyone knows what kind of dirty things are below, but no one is willing to pick them up.

But Liu Huan, a mortise that should not have come forward, picked up this "pus" and made the original ghosts and monsters clear the world, of course, the side he hoped to be clear to the world.

The people and officials of the Song Dynasty only saw Jiao Siluo attacking the Song army, but they didn't know that this was a farce in which the Song army was ambushing others but was ambushed. Of course, some people could understand the suspicion, but they would never say it out.

The Dukes in the court certainly knew that this was Liu Huan's persecution plan, so they also regarded it as a dirty means to be invisible.

Jiaosiluo is already too big to lose. This is everyone's consensus. Tubo is not worthy of evidence, because there is a mess of sand, attacking each other and wars are constantly coming.

But Jiao Siluo has built Qingtang into a very mature and complete country, but he is only under the title of King Xiping and dare not proclaim himself emperor.

Many court officials in the court knew clearly that the Qingtang is now full of Xixia, and it is even better than Xixia.

The predecessor of Xixia was the Dingnan Army. Both Li Jiqian and Li Mingde were working hard to manage it. At that time, the Dingnan Army had to face two giants, the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, and neither material nor combat power were comparable.

After two generations of hard work, Xixia was able to get along with others and continuously expand its land and population, which eventually laid a sufficient foundation for Li Yuanhao's founding of the country and becoming emperor.

The Dangxiang people also transformed from the original nomadic people to the farming people. The land of Xixia, which owns the Hetao land, was fertile and the people were stable. They were good at riding and shooting and finally had the capital to confront the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.

Therefore, the disaster that Western Xia called the northwest of the Song Dynasty has always troubled the Song Dynasty, making the northwest uneasy.

The original Western Xia was destroyed by the Song Dynasty, and all the Dangxiang people moved to the heartland of the Song Dynasty and were assimilated by the Han civilization as quickly as possible. Their ethics disappeared, their unique shapes disappeared, and their language and writing also disappeared.

Now, except for finding some Xixia people in some old yamen household registrations, they can no longer find traces of the Dangxiang people. They disappeared so quickly and suddenly that the Song Dynasty himself did not react.

These Dangxiang people could not survive if they could not adapt to the environment of the Song Dynasty. Adapting to the environment was precisely what Dangxiang people were most good at. They could give up everything they were originally maverick and just to integrate into the environment of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Qingtang was like the Xixia of that year, but its location was more west than Xixia. However, Qingtang and Xixia are also different. Qingtang is much higher than Xixia.

This natural barrier makes Qingtang more difficult to deal with than Xixia and makes Qingtang safer. In this way, what Liu Huan and his husband saw was not a simple Qingtang, but a Qingtang that was more threatening far away from Xixia.

What's more, Jiaosiluo and Qingtang continue to attack Tubo, and Qingtang's territory and Jiaosiluo's power will only become stronger and stronger, so when he unified Tubo, it will only be more difficult to deal with than Xixia.

There were no powerful countries around the Song Dynasty. After the South China Sea countries were completely occupied by the Song Dynasty, they were called the Nanhai Road, and a large amount of grain output was supplied to the Song Dynasty's needs.

Japan has disappeared. Although the Emperor's lineage is still retained, this lineage has become a clan in the harem of the Song Dynasty. It is said that the Emperor's lineage is actually a relative of the Song Dynasty.

Every generation of queens must become concubines in the harem of the Song Dynasty, so as to ensure the stability and security of Haidong Prefecture.

The Western Xia and Liao dynasties were also destroyed. Of course, the empress dowagers of these two tribes were also in Zhao Zhen's harem. Only one or two small countries in the south were left around the Song Dynasty, such as Bagan and Nibharu.

These small countries still surrendered to the Song Dynasty when facing the Song Dynasty. They not only feared the Song Dynasty, but also needed the Song Dynasty. Many things were what they longed for.

The Song Dynasty had a vast territory, numerous goods, and prosperous trade. Opening a court on the border would naturally allow small countries to come and trade and obtain exquisite and necessary goods.

Bagan and Nipola have regarded the Song Dynasty as a powerful shelter. They will not confront the Song Dynasty and are even willing to hand over the power to the Song Dynasty. Every year, they submit their submissions like the ministers of the Song Dynasty and report on the situation in the country.

In other words, there is no powerful country around the Song Dynasty now, but if Tubo was unified, it would eventually lead to the Song Dynasty returning to the embarrassing situation in the Tang Dynasty.

We cannot underestimate Tubo. The area of ​​Tubo is very large, and although it is not as vast as the Song Dynasty, the climate on the plateau makes it difficult for the Han army to move on the plateau.

Undoubtedly, Qingtang and Jiaosiluo are already a big trouble for the Song Dynasty. They finally eliminated the threats of all parties around them. The court officials of the Song Dynasty would never allow another threat to appear again.

After passing Zijing Pass, the cavalry in Qingtang headed towards the Great Song Dynasty Shendu……

Zhong Shiheng arrived at the imperial city as fast as possible. He went in and out of the imperial city almost every day. The officials of various departments of the Song Dynasty were in the imperial city, but this was his first time to knock on the palace at night.

The imperial guards who had been waiting here immediately released the order after seeing the Sancai's order and the document from the personal guards. It was not a strange thing for the officials to summon ministers at night, but the imperial guards did not understand what Zhong Shiheng, the Minister of War, deserves to be summoned by the officials.

Everyone in the entire Shendu City knew that Zhong Shiheng was now considered half an idle official, and he only clicked on time every day. Even if the official summoned him, he should be in the daytime.

All the ministers who can be summoned by the officials at night are important officials in the court.

However, Zhong Shiheng understood why the official family summoned him so urgently. The eunuch who came had already made it clear. Zhong Yan, the boy, had pushed the Zhong family to the brink of danger.

Walking under the tall palace walls makes people feel depressed, and the constantly shaking palace lanterns make Zhong Shiheng feel distressed. He just learned about what Zhong Yan did, and this child has been unique since childhood.

He was not as sequel as his brothers. He liked to take risks, whether it was leading troops to fight or writing memorials. Many of his remarks were to regard Qingtang as a threat from the Song Dynasty, and he repeatedly submitted memorials to the officials' families to lead their troops to complete the Qingtang division.

Most of the palaces in the palace are pitch black, but the Chuigong Hall is extremely bright. This is the place where officials summon court officials, or in other words, the place where important officials are summoned.

Zhong Shiheng, who entered it, saw the official family staring at the west side with a gloomy face. His eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and anger. Zhong Shiheng sighed and stepped forward and said, "I am the Minister of War, Zhong Shiheng, to see Your Majesty!"

"Get up! You are not wrong, but Zhong Yan must be severely punished. Don't think of using the iron coupons I rewarded!"

Zhong Shiheng's lips trembled and said helplessly: "You are reckless, please punish the officials! But he is sincere in his heart to be a country, so he asks the officials to be gentle!"

"Do you still remember Fan Dayong?"

Zhao Zhen's words shocked Zhong Shiheng.........
