After Zhao Shu ascended the throne, a series of actions were in order. First, he respected Empress Cao as the Empress Dowager, and then Gao Taotao was crowned as the Empress, but the children did not move.

Gao Taotao became the queen once, and was still a little confused.

"Has the Queen made arrangements done? Don't make a mistake, otherwise you will be disregarded."

Gao Taotao's aura gradually became majestic, and the palace maids all responded.

Ren Shouzhong smiled and said, "The saint, the queen has the best food and clothing."

Gao Taotao said lightly: "Look at it, don't make mistakes."

"yes."

Gao Taotao waved his hand and everyone inside went out.

The weather is slightly cooler and is best for sleeping.

"It's majestic after becoming a queen, but I can't be free and I can't sleep."

Gao Taotao lay lazily on the couch, remembering the events of that year quietly.

That year, she was taken to the palace as a young man and met the same young Zhao Zongshi. She was childhood sweethearted and had no guesses.

During that trip to the palace, she got her future husband and remembered her majesty.

"Where are Qianyu and the others?"

She remembered several daughters, who were innocent and uneasy after entering the palace.

The maid behind him said, "Sage, three little ladies are doing needlework."

Gao Taotao nodded, "The princess will be enthroned later, and their marriage will become a problem from now on. Da Song... no one wants to surrender the princess, what can you do?"

The Song Dynasty was more vigilant against foreign relatives than the Ming Dynasty. Once you marry a princess, you will be able to survive in the rest of your life.

Gao Taotao thought of Shen An and couldn't help but say quietly: "It's a pity that he is, but I think the government will not agree."

In her eyes, Shen An is probably the best candidate. As long as she marrys her daughter, she will naturally be a family. She cannot do anything, but she can act as a think tank.

"The official family is here."

Someone outside the door reported that Gao Taotao was still leaning on the couch and said, "I am very tired recently, but I am disrespectful."

When Zhao Shu came in and saw her lying down, he said, "Go and find a medical officer."

"I'm fine."

Gao Taotao sat up slowly and asked someone to make tea.

Zhao Shu sat down and looked at the interior layout, feeling a little shabby: "The biggest expense in the court recently was the tomb of the late emperor, so bear it first."

The emperor's tomb was piled up with money and countless manual labor. According to the cost, if an emperor dies every year, there is no need for foreign enemies to attack, the Song Dynasty will perish due to financial collapse and military riots.

In the Song Dynasty, the emperor's tombs were not built by migrant workers, but by the army.

The military's duty at this moment is not to defend the country, but to coolies.

Therefore, the court often scolded the officials below to serve the army, and the crow fell on the pig and could not see their own blackness.

Gao Taotao smiled and said, "It's already very good. By the way, the official family has been ascended the throne for a long time, but the palace seems a little deserted. You always look at me and I'm a little bored. I'm wondering if I should recruit some women to relieve my boredom for the official family."

She stared at Zhao Shu while saying that, and after his brows frowned, she lowered her head, not knowing whether it was because of fear or pride.

"I'm not bored."

Zhao Shu frowned and said, "No need to mention this matter in the future."

This is going to end from one thing!

Gao Taotao's mouth raised slightly, and he was in a very good mood.

The maid next to him was also a little surprised, with an admiration in her eyes.

Since ancient times, emperors have been in the ninth level of heaven, and their majesty is unpredictable.

Majesty is the first level of enjoyment. The feeling of looking down on all living beings is so comfortable that some chiefs will shout out words that I want to harm you for another five hundred years.

The second level of enjoyment is that the beauties in the world can enjoy themselves and all the things in the world can be enjoyed by themselves.

If a man is a man, he will long for beautiful women and be a bride every night, but Zhao Shu doesn't want to.

Zhao Shu looked at her with a soft look in his eyes, "In those years in the palace, I felt panicless and felt that this palace was a Jedi, and I could freeze me into ice, only you..."

He slowly held Gao Taotao's hand and said seriously: "You were spring at that time..."

The indifference in the palace made him feel that it was always cold winter here, and Gao Taotao that happened to appear was a touch of spring in the cold winter, allowing him to persevere until he left the palace.

Gao Taotao also remembered those years.

At that time, she was also helpless. The sky in the palace was like the sky on the well, and she could not see any freedom or hope.

Fortunately, she saw Zhao Shu, who was also in a difficult situation, and the two children gradually approached, kept warm with each other, and survived that difficult time together.

She held the big hand back and smiled, "You are also spring."

The two of them met each other, and Zhao Shu whispered something outside.

"...The Liao people probably want to see more and see what kind of character I have. If I am easy to bully, they will definitely threaten them. They are short of money, and Yelu Hongji only cares about enjoying it, but forgets that those enjoyment requires money and food..."

Gao Taotao listened to these things and gradually became more dazzling in his eyes.

"The people of Xixia seem to be very sad, but their people went back to report the news too quickly. Now they think they have already left the northwest, which shows that they are anxious."

There was more sarcasm at Zhao Shu's mouth, and Gao Taotao asked: "Officials, why are they anxious about?"

"Think this was an opportunity."

Zhao Shu's face looked solemn: "Since Li Liangzuo ascended the throne, the Western Xia Kingdom is still in chaos, and those opponents are still staring at him."

"Then he should fight those people!"

Gao Taotao changed Li Liangzuo's situation to Zhao Shu, feeling that he should fight.

Zhao Shu shook his head and said, "Internal fighting is just the worst plan. After fighting, the one who beats his own things in the end is his own things. Li Liangzuo is not stupid, so..."

Gao Taotao heard some evil spirit and said in surprise: "Does he dare to come for the Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Why don't you dare? Don't forget that the first thing he did after he came to power was to attack Qinzhou. If he succeeded, the entire Fengxiang Mansion would be in danger."

"Thanks to Su Shi."

Gao Taotao's appreciation of Su Shi was probably a fan mentality, so when he mentioned him, he became spiritual: "Officials, Su Shi is a man of literature and martial arts!"

Seeing her anxious, Zhao Shu smiled and said, "I know you like his poems and articles, but let's read them. Now I want to see the suggestions of my ministers, and then..."

He slowly stood up with a look of longing in his eyes: "This is the first threat I faced after ascending the throne, what should I do?"

...

"what to do?"

Zhao Shu summoned the prime minister and important officials to discuss matters, and Shen An was there.

Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, it is not certain whether Li Liangzuo will invade, but if the Song Dynasty is very cautious, it is probably ridiculed."

Bao Zheng said: "It's better to be ridiculed than to be caught off guard. Last time, Li Liangzuo attacked Qinzhou, if he hadn't been discovered, the northwest would be in danger."

Han Qi said unhappily: "State affairs are not neighbors fighting. If they can, I wish the entire northwest would be heavily guarded. But I am the prime minister. I have to consider the morale of the people and stare at the Liao people on the other side. I cannot give them an opportunity to take advantage of these little things. I have to consider what have you considered?"

Han Qi was quite proud these days, and his old habit of being domineering was reappeared.

Bao Zheng was told by his words, but he couldn't fight back. For a moment, the number one troll in the Song Dynasty became silent.

"There is no need to consider dealing with the Xixia people."

Zeng Gongliang looked at Chen An with the look of "not beyond my expectations" and knew that Lao Han was in trouble.

If you dare not give Bao Zheng a face, Chen An Jingbi will come out to sweep your face.

Chen An went out to work and said, "Your Majesty, Li Liangzuo is now a trapped beast. He cannot calm the disputes within Xixia, and he dare not calm them. Otherwise, there will be war everywhere, and he will worry that the Song and Liao people will take advantage of the situation, so he will definitely take advantage of the situation."

"Taking for power?" Han Qi felt that Chen An's thoughts were too naive, "What kind of power did he take?"

"Yes." Chen An said confidently: "If there is big trouble in the country and there is an opponent, the best way is to go outside to solve it."

"How to solve it? Are you talking nonsense... This is the imperial court, and the government has no time to listen to your nonsense."

Han Qi has paid a lot of attention recently and has become a lot of bad temper.

Chen An did not look at him and continued, "There are political enemies in the country and the political enemies have troops in their hands. How can we weaken him?"

"The army suppresses it!"

Han Qi's reaction is very central and Confucian.

Chen An smiled and said, "Why not solve it externally?"

“How to solve it?”

Han Qi asked with a sneer, feeling that Chen An was standing up for Bao Zheng.

Chen An said, "War begins!"

Gulu!
