Although Ling Chuchu was no longer around, Bao Zheng was still with Zhan Zhao. It seemed that Bao Zheng had already solved the Suiyi Clan's altar case at the Yingtian Academy in Luzhou.
Moreover, the amazing thing was that Bao Zheng was actually together with Pang Feiyan. This made Zhao Xuan sigh at the inertia of television dramas.
On the streets of Bianliang City, Zhao Xuan and his eighth sister were strolling around. After shaking off the lightbulb Yang Paifeng, Zhao Xuan didn't let the sword guards follow them. Instead, he and his eighth sister were alone.
After spending a few days together, the relationship between the two of them had heated up rapidly, especially after Zhao Xuan had displayed his martial arts in Taibai Residence. Zhao Xuan, who was talented in both civil and martial arts, had already met Yang Bamei's requirements.
It was just that these few days, Yang Bamei had been running around for reinforcements, so the two of them had been apart.
"How is it? You must be tired these few days, right?”Zhao Xuan said softly to Yang Bamei.
Yang Bamei sighed and said helplessly,""Everyone in the court is afraid of the might of the Liao Kingdom. Before confirming that the Liao Kingdom's army is approaching, no one dares to suggest sending more troops. However, if the Liao Kingdom's army really comes, how can Changzhou be defended at that time?”
"Do you know why my father didn't help you these past few days?”Zhao Xuan asked Yang Bamei softly.
Yang Bamei shook her head gently. In fact, she had been feeling a little uncomfortable these few days. The Eight Virtuous Kings had clearly agreed to it, but now they were indifferent, which made her puzzled.
"Actually, I had already settled the matter of sending troops before you came!”Zhao Xuan said casually.
When Yang Bamei heard this, she was shocked.""What is it? You guys are done? Then why are the officials in the court?"
"Because they don't know!" Zhao Xuan said indifferently.
Zhao Xuan then looked at Yang Bamei and asked with a smile,""Do you know why I didn't tell you in advance these past few days and watched you hit a wall everywhere?”
Without waiting for Yang Bamei to reply, Zhao Xuan continued,""Because I want you to see what kind of people the court is!”
"When the ruler of a country loses the courage to face the enemy, he won't last long under the watchful eyes of a pack of wolves!”
"The steppe has never lacked brave tribes, from the Xiongnu of the Great Han to the Turks of the Great Tang to the Liao people of today. Although their tribes have changed one after another, what remains unchanged is their wild ambition to go south and spy on the Divine Prefecture.”
"Without the Liao people, there will still be Xiongnu people, Turks, and even Tiele people and Uighurs.”
"As for our Great Song, do we need to pay one year old coin after another?”
"So, Eighth Sister, you have to understand that those people in the court are unreliable. On the battlefield, we have to rely on reliable teammates, not those muddle-headed officials who are ready to betray the country for glory!”Zhao Xuan said firmly to Yang Bamei.
Yang Bamei was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Zhao Xuan to say such words to her.
"Little friend, your words are a little biased! There are many famous ministers in the court. Lu Shengong is a wise prime minister who knows how to make good use of people. There are also virtuous kings like the Eight Virtuous Kings. Even if there are villains in the court, the current emperor is wise. He has appointed virtuous ministers to stay away from villains. The prosperity of the Song Dynasty is just around the corner. How can you blind us with one leaf and cover up the whole?”
A middle-aged man in his forties stood up and said to Zhao Xuan.
"And who are you?"
"Fan Xiwen!" The middle-aged man cupped his hands.
"So it's Duke Xi Wen. I've heard a lot about you!”Zhao Xuan cupped his hands and said.
The Renzong Dynasty of the Great Song could be said to be the explosive point of the famous officials of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Renzong Dynasty, famous officials emerged one after another.
However, with more brains, there would be more political views, and then there would be more factions.
In a sense, the party struggles of the Northern Song Dynasty began from the Renzong Dynasty. When Wang Anshi reformed, those parties were just a continuation of the Renzong Dynasty.
Among them, the most famous one was Fan Zhongyan, the one who wrote that he was the first to be happy and the last to be happy.
"Looking at your speech and speech, you are extraordinary.”
"I'm just an idle wild crane. If we meet again, I'll talk to you again.”
Although the person in front of him was the famous Fan Zhongyan, Zhao Xuan was not interested in continuing to chat with him. In the political world, everyone had their own opinions. Once the debate started, there would be no end to it. Zhao Xuan did not have the time to bother with him.
However, Fan Zhongyan's return to the capital meant that Zhao Zhen's situation couldn't wait for a big fight.
"Right, since the officials of the court are not trustworthy, where did you solve the problem of mobilizing troops?”Yang Bamei asked curiously after leaving with Zhao Xuan.
"Do you know that the Emperor has just formed a royal army called the Dragon Stallion Guard? The soldiers are drawn from the Imperial Army, and the commander of the Dragon Stallion Guard is me!”
"The Dragon Xiang Guards are the imperial family's personal army. The military expenses, money, and food are all paid by the various imperial families. It doesn't cost the imperial court a single cent. Thus, our Dragon Xiang Guards don't need the Bureau of Military Affairs 'approval to send troops!”Zhao Xuan said indifferently.
"Really?"
"Of course. Otherwise, when the various officials in the imperial court discuss it, it will be a long time!”
"Sigh, I didn't expect that the matter that I've been painstakingly pursuing to no avail would be easily resolved by you imperial descendants!”Yang Bamei sighed.
"This is not something an ordinary member of the Imperial Family can do. Eh, I seem to have met someone familiar in front!”Zhao Xuan said with a smile.
In front of them, Bao Zheng was being pulled over by a woman.
"Feiyan, let go. What's wrong with you pulling and pulling on the street?”Bao Zheng said helplessly.
Although the Northern Song Dynasty wasn't like the Southern Song Dynasty, where the rules of propriety weren't as strict, one still had to pay attention to the rules of propriety between men and women!
Behind Bao Zheng was a little bald head. It was probably the younger version of Zhan Zhao.
"Brother Bao, we meet again!" Zhao Xuan took the lead to greet him.
Bao Zheng saw that it was Zhao Xuan. Pang Feiyan, who was holding onto him, was like a frightened rabbit when she saw Zhao Xuan. She screamed and hid behind Bao Zheng.
