Zhao Zhen was also looking at him.
If Mr. Cao was still alive today, would the power of the Song Dynasty already belong to him?
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to say: "What did you say?"
The little emperor is also smart.
He didn't directly point out Cao's use, which means he knows what's appropriate...
The past is over, and saying more will only displease the Queen Mother.
Cao An saw this and said in a long tone: "Weng Weng once said that the Western Xia people are ambitious. If the Song Dynasty's martial arts can flourish, they will definitely send troops to defeat them in the future!"
really……
Lao Cao is still Lao Cao, he is tough!
Zhang Zhibai nodded slightly and said: "The Li family of Xixia has frequently raided the country in recent years, and they are even more dissatisfied with Wang Hua! If there is a chance, we should teach these disobedient people a lesson!"
Taizong's five-pronged expedition to Xia was defeated!
After Zhenzong came to power, he became a soft persimmon again...
He was worried that he could not control those belligerent "Pingtou brothers", so he took the initiative to cede Suizhou, Yinzhou and other places, bowing his head and recognizing the independent status of Lao Li's family.
Therefore, to the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, Xixia was a shame!
Of course, this shame will not end...
Many years later, Li Yuanhao founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, openly overthrowing the nominal rule of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zhen was slapped on the left cheek and the right cheek, but he still couldn't do anything about it.
"Ahem!"
Liu E couldn't help coughing.
Remind these ministers that the topic has gone too far...
Only then did Zhang Zhibai come back to his senses and said again: "The Queen Mother, I think we should immediately summon the Xixia envoys to the palace at this time and scold them! And tell us the benefits and harms!"
"Wei Chen reconsiders!"
Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian looked at each other and held their hands.
Is this the end?
Cao An blinked in disbelief, with three big characters written all over his face: 'Grass Mud Horse'...
No matter how useless he is, he knows that scolding him at this time will only lead to ridicule.
You don’t have any evidence, so why are you scolding others?
Not only will it not have a deterrent effect, but it will make others feel that you are at your wits end, and they will bully you more unscrupulously and trample on your bottom line!
Liu E also had a cold face.
She paused and her tone was a little cold: "Do you all have this intention?"
The three old men bowed their heads again.
"Okay, then let Lu Qing handle this matter!"
Liu E got angry.
She pressed the handle of the chair and said involuntarily: "During the Battle of Chanyuan, Lu Qing served as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom on behalf of the Song Dynasty. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and fought for peace for the Song Dynasty for many years! It is up to you to handle this matter. It couldn’t be more appropriate!”
Everyone knows that this is just a matter of embarrassment.
But since you insist on deliberately disgusting me, then let’s disgust each other!
"Queen Mother, this matter..."
As expected, Lu Yijian couldn't stand any longer and went out to say: "Weak ministers don't understand diplomacy and may betray the Queen Mother's trust. It would be better for the Privy Council's Ceremony Room to join forces with the officials of the Ministry of Rites to come up with a charter for this matter."
Just kidding, I won’t embarrass myself like this!
"Then let's discuss it again!"
Liu E no longer suppressed her words, and said with anger: "Xixia is not a naughty boy in the Qing family. You can't just open your mouth and be honest! They have a purpose, so naturally they won't give up!"
Zhang Zhibai's old face turned red.
He knew that the Queen Mother was really anxious.
Then he left the team and said: "I think that Xixia's move was for the sake of new year's coins! In recent years, the rain has not been smooth and many places in Xixia have failed to harvest, so they came up with this method of plundering. The purpose is to gain benefits.”
There have been frequent conflicts between Xixia and Song Dynasty over the years, and they are considered old acquaintances.
Stick your butt out, I know what you're going to do...
"snort!"
Liu E then softened her expression, leaned back on the chair again, squinted and said nothing.
This kind of thing has been a common occurrence since she took power.
Those guys who call themselves "Song Chen" are provoking their own authority overtly or covertly, and they always argue with each other when something happens, just to embarrass themselves.
But can these stop me?
Liu E felt that these officials were just a bunch of cowards!
They don't allow the female protagonist to gain power, but they don't dare to make a desperate move. They are worried about ruining their "family fortune" that they have managed for many years. They are also worried that if they fail, there will be no way back.
With such a group of courtiers looking forward and backward, do you expect them to achieve anything?
Since Zhenzong in the Song Dynasty, the monarchs, ministers and people seemed to have been planted with the seeds of cowardice in their hearts by God.
They dare not change and are afraid of change, so they can only muddle along...
Many years later, Renzong wanted to change this situation, but unfortunately he failed twice in a row until he was completely frightened!
Wang Zeng, who had always been silent, also stood up: "I believe that at this moment, we should quickly appease the people, suppress the panic in the people's hearts, control the price of food in Beijing and Zhou Dynasty, and then send Xiang troops to escort the food and wages for disaster relief and go to various places to provide disaster relief!"
"Um……"
Liu E hummed as usual and stopped answering.
Obviously, these words did not move her.
Having said all that, what’s the real point?
A bunch of old foxes!
After they became prime ministers, they began to cherish their feathers very much, for fear that if they did something wrong, their careers would be stained.
Things in Xixia are not easy to handle, and there may be trouble whether they are solved or not.
So they won't speak unless they have to.
Liu E sighed in her heart.
I really miss the days when I was a queen!
Although she didn't have much power at that time, fortunately the late emperor's friendship for her made it really easy for her.
Even if the world says he is cowardly and useless, as her husband, Liu E always thinks of his kindness in her heart...
What kind of emotion can make a generation of emperors favor only one person?
Especially since she was a widow...
At this time, Lu Yijian also stood up.
He knew it was time to get down to business...
Although everyone has different political stances, they are all monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. They must not let the country get into trouble, otherwise they will die!
"Report to the Queen Mother."
Lao Lu cleared his throat and said: "I think that we should immediately send people to screen at this moment! How many of the victims who have mixed in the city are Xixia people, and how many of them have ulterior motives? If they succeed, there will probably be chaos in Kyoto. !”
Finally getting to the point.
Liu E retracted her thoughts, sat up straight and said, "Do you think Lu Qing should send anyone to deal with this matter?"
Lu Yijian thought for a while and said seriously: "I'm afraid the official position is too high. It won't be able to hide secrets, and it will also cause panic among the people..."
If you send a deputy, even the gangsters on the street will know...
This is a big deal!
Not only will it be unable to suppress those panics, but it will be counterproductive.
Those who hide in the dark will also be alert, making it more difficult to identify their identities.
Liu E nodded in agreement, and frowned: "But if you send someone who can't suppress the situation, it will be difficult to take action if you startle those people."
Everyone was silent for a while.
Zhang Zhibai suddenly left his job and said, "I think Fan Zhongyan can take on this responsibility!"
Um?
Cao An finally came online and stared hard at Lao Zhang...
Damn, this old guy is really damaged!
Everyone knows that this is a thankless job. If you let Lao Fan do it, he will get no credit if he does it well. If he fails, he will be blamed!
