"Don't think that those places are far away from the Song Dynasty, and they feel that there is no threat. What is our responsibility?"

In the Privy Council, Chen An asked.

All the big guys here, so naturally they won’t answer these questions.

"Our duty is to eliminate threats for our descendants and hand over a better Song Dynasty to them, and some people could not see such ideas in the Privy Council." Chen An felt that although the literati was in line with the tradition of civil servants in charge of military affairs, the candidates were worth discussing.

For example, a conservative boss like Wen Yanbo cannot support such an expedition with an unknown future.

Where is Wang Shao?

Chen An glanced at Wang Shao and felt that this was the future Privy Councilor.

The Privy Council must be proactive, so the next term must be carefully considered.

Wen Yanbo thought for a while, "I thought it was worth discussing for this matter. Privy Council... The Privy Council knew nothing about Seljuk and only knew some basic knowledge about Dashi. How to fight this battle? What is the outcome? Who can tell me?"

"I will win!" With the gunship in hand, Chen An didn't think who would pose a fatal threat to the Song Dynasty naval army.

Wen Yanbo stared at him, "This promise is the most nonsense. Duke Chen, have you thought about it?"

Wen Yanbo is threatening and telling Chen An that if you lose, today will be your crime.

"Of course!" Chen An felt that Lao Wen was really old, even if he was a famous old birthday star in history, he was too conservative.

Wen Yanbo suddenly smiled and said, "I will naturally discuss with the Korean Central Committee. How to fight this battle?"

This battle was an expedition, and there should not be too many people and horses, and more ships were needed to load food and grass.

Wen Yanbo argued with the prime ministers in the court, but Chen An argued with Zhao Xu in the Qingning Palace.

"Do you want to go?" Chen An felt that this guy was crazy.

"Which prince will go thousands of miles away to conquer?" Chen An reached out to touch his forehead, but was avoided.

"Of course I have to go." Zhao Xu obviously had prepared for a long time, "The imperial doctor once again determined the gender of the child in Xiang's belly."

"Boy?" Chen An felt that this was a bit fantasy.

"Yes." Zhao Xu looked very serious.

"Then what is your purpose?" The prince should have squatted in the capital to observe politics. He should go out to inspect the people's conditions, but not too far away.

As for the conquest, it has nothing to do with him.

"Who can lead the battle thousands of miles away?"

Zhao Xu asked this question, which made Chen An stunned.

yes!

According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the commander of such an expedition was firm.

In other words, at least there is no need to worry about rebellion.

"Not it?" Chen An smiled bitterly and said, "How did the navy rebel? Even if he brought tens of thousands of people to set out, tens of thousands of people would not be able to rebel, right?"

He looked at Zhao Xu, "This is an excuse, are you Jingji Si moving?"

Zhao Xu sighed, "Anbei, you have made too much contribution."

Chen An was shocked, and then he realized the reason why Zhao Xu wanted to go.

He has made too much contribution.

Especially in the Northern Expedition, his contributions would almost be granted the king.

Under such a background, if he leads his troops alone to the Dashi Conquest, how should he reward him after returning?

Being a king?

impossible!

But if he is not a king, his contribution is like a huge rock pressing on the court, which makes people uneasy.

"But isn't someone who is a scholar?" This is the consensus between him and Zhao Shu, which is to use the identity of a scholar to limit his development direction.

"But there are too many after all." Zhao Xu pointed his fingers and counted his military achievements. As he counted, Chen An waved his hand and said, "Forget it!"

This is a terrifying contribution, and even Chen An feels it is not appropriate.

Even in the future, such great achievements must be balanced.

"But what are you going to do?" Chen An was a little helpless.

"If I go, I will be appointed as the crown prince when I come back." Zhao Xu's calmness was beyond Chen An's expectations.

"You mean..." Chen An understood everything at once, "the prestige of the officials today is too high."

"If I wait for me in the future..." If Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he would be shocked to find that his father had too high prestige, and he became the little translucent under the imperial throne. Even after he succeeded to the throne, he was still a little translucent, shrouded in a huge shadow.

"At that time, the ministers will despise me." Zhao Xu said in a deep voice: "So the officials are also thinking about this matter, but after thinking about it, what can I establish my prestige? Only war."

Zhao Shu was reigned for several years, Jiaozhi was destroyed, Western Xia was destroyed, and the Northern Expedition was successful... The new policy was also being implemented one by one.

Can emperors from ancient and modern times achieve so many achievements in such a short time? There is nothing at all.

This mentally ill patient used his stubbornness to pave a beautiful road for the Song Dynasty, but others could not walk steadily.

Therefore, Zhao Xu must improve his prestige.

Seeing that he understood, Zhao Xu smiled and said, "The official family is also worried about this matter, so it is not a good thing that I am dormant for too long."

"If the official family is mediocre, it's okay for you to lie dormant." Chen An felt a little headache, "But the official family is afraid that he won't allow you to go on an expedition, right?"

Zhao Xu's calmness disappeared in an instant, and he smiled bitterly: "Not to mention the official family, even the saints are not easy to pass."

Gao Taotao is not a good person. If she gets angry, Zhao Shu and Zhao Xu and his son will not have a good life.

Chen An said gloatingly: "I wish you success here."

Zhao Xu shook his head, feeling careless about making friends.

Later he went to ask for the official family.

"Do you want to go?" Zhao Shu was stunned at first, then frowned, "Here we go thousands of miles, the wind and clouds on the sea are changing, and the wind and waves may come. What should you do then?"

"The soldiers are also experiencing storms." Zhao Xu felt that this was not a problem.

"Isn't it good to go to the north?" Zhao Shu thought of the Liao Kingdom.

After losing the land of Youyan, Yelu Hongji was like a lone wolf, summoning his subordinates, grinding his minions and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

But the Song Dynasty did not move, which made Yelu Hongji a little sad, but he did not dare to take the initiative to launch an attack.

This is the pattern of the Northern Expedition. Zhao Shu believed that only two battles could bring the Song Dynasty back to the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"Northern..." Zhao Xu said: "Didn't you mean to make the Liao people panic and consume their morale and people's hearts? When they are panic, the Song Dynasty will launch another attack."

This is a map that Zhao Shu had been thinking about for a long time, and after finding Chen An to discuss it, the monarch and minister also had a dispute over this, and Zhao Shu's voice was hoarse.

"This matter... depends on your mother." Seeing that his son insisted, Zhao Shu got up, "I'll talk about it first..."

"Thank you, Dad." Zhao Xu bowed, with respect in his eyes.

It feels great to be admired by my son!

Zhao Shu arrived in the harem lightly all the way. When he stood outside the hall, he felt something was that.

"What?"

The woman's scream echoed in the palace.

"No!" Gao Taotao was furious.

"That's overseas. Do you want to change the prince?"

I'll go!

I don't want to change it!

It was your son who insisted on going.

Zhao Shu wanted to cry, "Dalang must make contributions."

"The north can also make contributions." Gao Taotao was like a female wolf who discovered the foreign enemy, bared her teeth and roared, "Besides, he is the prince, what credit should he have?"

"If he has no credit, he will not be able to suppress his ministers in the future." Zhao Shu smiled bitterly.

"What does it mean?" Gao Taotao held Zhao Shu's hand, "Official, what does this mean?"

"My prestige is too high." Zhao Shu said calmly: "Jiazhi and Xixia were both destroyed when I was in power. If nothing unexpected happens, the Liao Kingdom will be destroyed. Think about it, when Dalang faces this Song Dynasty, where does he get his prestige?"

Gao Taotao was stunned, then burst into tears, and still ordered: "If these words are heard by the outsiders, you are ready to go to Shunzhou."

The eunuchs and palace maids shivered and retreated one after another.

"This matter... since he is willing to go, then go." Men can stay strong in many cases, but women are different.

"Can't you not go?"

"Go to go."

"Official..."
