The prime ministers came to court and found that Zhao Shu was standing outside the hall.

"This is……"

Ouyang Xiu looked at him with a bad look and said in a touching manner: "Is the official family here to welcome us?"

Zhao Shu's eyes passed over them, seemingly without focus.

Han Qi held his big belly and said contemptuously: "You're thinking too much."

"The messenger is here."

Chen Zhongheng ran away wildly, and the prime ministers turned around. When Chen Zhongheng ran over again with a bamboo tube, he realized what Zhao Shu was waiting for.

Chen Zhongheng shouted: "We are rich, rich."

Fu Bi went over to pick up the bamboo tube, opened it and looked at the seal, and said, "Your Majesty, it's the same."

"Open!"

Zhao Shu's voice was a little strange.

Fu Bi took a deep breath, opened the envelope, and took out the memorial and took a look.

"oh……"

Fu Bi's voice was like a moaning sound that made Han Qi feel angry. He went over and grabbed the memorial, and regardless of where Zhao Shu was looking forward, he read the content first.

"It's gunpowder!?"

Han Qi slapped his forehead and immediately a slap mark appeared on it, and then slowly dissipated.

"Your Majesty, the Liao people are afraid of new gunpowder and say they are giving up."

Zhao Shu was itchy and coughed dryly, "Memorial."

I am the emperor! The last memorial is to be read. Are you going to make a big fuss?

He took the memorial and couldn't help but read it out.

"...The Liao army gathered hundreds of miles away from the prefectures, and the leaders were led by Xiao Dian. I met with Xiao Dian ten miles outside the city. I carefully observed my words and expressions and concluded that the Liao people were afraid of new gunpowder, so I asked them to go in a mistake and said that the two countries would give up..."

Zhao Shu looked up and took a deep breath, feeling that the air was so fresh and intoxicating.

Ouyang Xiu took a deep breath excitedly, but the cold air in the morning entered his lungs and he suddenly coughed.

Han Qi bowed and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty."

Zhao Shu was happy and said casually: "What are you congratulating?"

Han Qi said: "The Liao people dispatched more than 10,000 cavalry this time, and there were heavy cavalry among them. After being defeated by the Song Dynasty in one battle, Yelu Hongji would be uneasy. After that, the Liao people wanted to attack the Song Dynasty, they had to think about this battle and whether they could shake the Song Dynasty!"

At this moment, Han Qi's eyes were full of light, as if he was ten years younger.

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Yes, if Yelu Hongji wants to do something, he must first figure out the gunpowder... The person who came here has been circulating Zhang for eight years, so hurry up!"

Zeng Gongliang's face changed and he said, "The Liao people will definitely find out the secrets of gunpowder, but fortunately they are built in the city, otherwise..."

Zhao Shu glanced at the back of the memorial and said, "Shen An advised to bring the gunpowder workshop outside the city, saying that the four fields were empty and easy to defend. In addition, if there was any accident, there would be no heavy casualties."

Han Qi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what if the enemy troops are coming to the city? Wouldn't the gunpowder workshop outside the city be responsible for the enemy?"

Zhao Shu handed over the memorial and said, "Look at it yourself."

Han Qi took the memorial and saw it at the end, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Shen An actually thought of this worry, I am ashamed."

Zeng Gongliang asked curiously: "Sang Han, what does he mean?"

"He said that if the enemy troops came to Bianliang City, it would be useless to have gunpowder or not. At that time, the warriors should die, civil servants should die, and everyone should die together."

Zeng Gongliang said regretfully: "Yes, if the troops are coming to the city, it means we are incompetent and deserve to die."

Zhao Shu's eyes turned and asked, "Although this son's words are vulgar, they are heroic. What do you think?"

Han Qi nodded and said, "I agree."

"I agree."

"Your Majesty, the king asks for a visit."

Zhao Xu came and said, "Dad, the Liao people must be afraid of gunpowder, and they must be careful of their secret spies."

Zhao Shu and the prime ministers looked at each other, then smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Han Qi said with a stern face: "If it weren't for the messenger who had been brought here after entering the city, I would have thought the king had intercepted the news in advance."

The praise was very powerful. Zhao Shu smiled and said, "He only has a few people under him. Chen An is not here, only Wang Rong and Su Shi, so how can he have this ability? As for Zhe Kexing, it is reported that he failed to go to Chengfuzhou this time and is ruthlessly training the Wansheng Army."

Zhao Xu was not sure about this, and Zeng Gongliang reminded: "The king didn't know, and the ministers were discussing how to keep the secret of gunpowder..."

"Move out of the city!"

After Zhao Xu said that, he found that everyone was staring at him, his eyes were strange.

Zhao Shu smiled slightly and said, "I used to think Dalang went out for fun. I wanted to discipline him, but I always thought that I couldn't let him live my past life again, so let him loosen up."

At that time, Zhao Shu's family was leisurely and had nothing to do, and could not see the future. They probably waited for Zhao Yunrang to split up and then received some money and food every month to survive. They could not starve to death, but they could not live well.

Zhao Shu's childhood was not good, and it was deeply engraved with black marks. He didn't want his son to do the same, so he gave convenience.

"Who ever thought you had something to do with Shen An, it was pretty good."

Zhao Xu was puzzled and saw that Han Qi and others were also surprised, so he said, "I have lived a very comfortable life in the past few years."

"Yes!" Zhao Shu smiled and said, "I thought you had a lot to learn, but who knew you knew a lot..."

Zhao Xu was curious and asked, "What are the things that Dad said?"

Zhao Shu asked, "Why do you need to go out of the city? If the enemy attacks, how can you resist?"

Han Qi and others were staring at Zhao Xu, thinking that this king wouldn't be so heroic, right?

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "The outside of the city is empty and it is not easy to be sneaked in. As for the enemy's raid, Dad, if the enemy raided outside the city of Bianliang by the enemy, the child thought that the emperor at that time should be dying, and it would be better to go out of the city to rush to the formation and die under the enemy's arrows, so that he can have the face to see his ancestors below."

Is he so strong?

Everyone was silent.

What they didn't know was that in a few decades, Zhao Xu's son Zhao Ji and his son would perform this, but they were not going out of the city to die, but were forced out of the city to be captured by their ministers.

Zhao Shu had a complicated look and felt sighing. He was not as strong as his son, but he knew that being tough would be easy to break. Is this son's temperament good or bad?

"At that time, the Song Dynasty still has the south to do it, so why did you go out of the city to die?"

Later, Zhao Gou ran to the south and then went through several difficulties to establish the small dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty, which lasted for a long time.

Zhao Xu said seriously: "Dad, by then, the north will inevitably become corrupt. Even if you go to the south, you will still be in stagnant. Then how can the emperor have the face to meet the people of the world? Besides..."

He raised his head slightly, and a vigor came out loud, saying: "Dad, the Song Dynasty is booming, but the Liao people are indulging in pleasure. There will definitely not be such a day!"

At this moment, Han Qi remembered the emperors of the Song Dynasty. After thinking about it, if you look at it, if you are vigor and courage, you may not be as good as the king in front of you.

If nothing unexpected happens, this king will rule the Song Dynasty for decades. At that time, will the Song Dynasty prosper as he said?

Han Qi looked at Zhao Shu who was stroking his beard and smiling, and then looked at Zhao Xu, and felt a sense of pride in his heart. He said, "At that time, if I were still there, I would definitely carry my sword and cut Youyan down!"

Zeng Gongliang said reservedly: "I killed someone when I was in the southwest, but now I think about it is far from enough!"

Lao Han, I have killed the enemy, what about you?

Han Qi glanced at him and said disdainfully: "I have commanded thousands of troops..."

Seeing that there was a quarrel between them, Zhao Shu laughed and said, "Previously, Chen An said that if the enemy troops came to the city, the military should die, and the civil servant should die..."

The hidden words of Chen An, "The emperor deserves to die," were said by Zhao Xu, which made the young man's aura even more intense.

Zhao Shu was in a good mood, and Zhang was here for eight years.

"Is the Imperial City Secret confident to take the gunpowder workshop out of the city?"

"Outside the city?" Zhang Banian said: "Your Majesty is wise, and there are many benefits to move outside the city. The Imperial City Chief will definitely use his life."

Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "It's not about using your life, but you must keep it. Otherwise... I will not relieve your hatred if I cut it into pieces!"

Zhang Banian was shocked, "Yes, I swear to protect the workshop to the death!"

Zhao Xu asked, "There shouldn't be many craftsmen who have the secrets, right?"

Zhang Banian said: "Not many, only two, and they are old craftsmen."

Zhao Xu said: "Give more money, but they can't go out... unless the Song Dynasty restores Youyan, they can't go out!"

This is a somewhat cruel decision, but it is the safest decision.

Zhang Banian glanced at Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu nodded.

"Yes, I will accept the order."

...

Yang Zhuoxue's belly still didn't show any concern. After Chen An went to the northwest, Wang Yun and Su Shi would come to see if there was anything at home, which was also a helping hand.

"sister in law!"

Zhe Kexing didn't say much, but today he brought more than a dozen burly men, each of whom was fierce and evil.
