There will be an update later. It's even later today. Everyone, forgive me!
"Reporting to the prince, His Highness has arrived!"
In the morning, Zhao Xuan was reading a book when No. 8 walked in and said.
"As expected, the imperial court sent people to rush over at night. It was indeed the Eight Virtuous Kings. Unfortunately, this time, without the Crown Prince case in Gaotai, will Bao Zheng be able to stand out like before?”
Reality proved that Zhao Xuan had miscalculated.
Luzhou Prefecture Yin Manor.
"Father!"
Zhao Xuan walked in with his men.
"You're here. Just in time. Tell me what happened!”The Eight Virtuous Kings looked at Zhao Xuan and said indifferently.
"There are many secrets involved in this matter. Allow me to tell my father one by one. Lord Gongsun, take your men and go down first!”Zhao Xuan said indifferently to Gongsun Zhen.
After all, Gongsun Zhen and the others did not know about the conspiracy with the high platform.
After Gongsun Zhen left, Zhao Xuan's sword guards sealed off the entire hall, while Zhao Xuan explained to the Eight Virtuous Kings in the room.
After Zhao Xuan had finished explaining the matter, the Eight Virtuous Kings nodded.""In that case, Princess Gaotai is in your hands now?”
"That's right. She's pregnant now. How can we marry her in such a situation? It just so happened that Cui Guanghao had an affair with her, so her son dared to make the decision and maximize her benefits!”Zhao Xuan softly said.
Zhao Xuan licked his lips and said," Of course, with my father's identity, I can write a letter of credence to the ruler of Xixia!”
All these years, Zhao Xuan's economic skills had shocked the Eight Virtuous Kings, not only because Zhao Xuan had amassed a wealth that could rival a country in a short period of time.
More importantly, he used this wealth to play a financial war, which really opened the eyes of the Eight Virtuous Kings.
It turned out that destroying a country without bloodshed was not a legend.
"How are things with the Dangxiang?" Zhao Xuan asked the Eight Sage Kings.
"Li Deming is indeed as you said. On the surface, he is submitting to the Song Dynasty, but in secret, he is constantly expanding his army. However, if he wants to conquer the Western Xia, it will be difficult. The opposition of the officials in the court is very strong. Moreover, you can't use force on your own. You have to know that our family's situation is special. You must remember this!" The Eight Virtuous Kings said to Zhao Xuan seriously.
Zhao Xuan nodded. Although he and the Eight Virtuous Kings were the direct descendants of the Old Zhao family, the problem now was that Zhao Xuan's grandfather was the Song Taizu, Zhao Kuangyin.
However, the good thing about the Old Zhao family was that they had very low killing intent. The Zhao family of the Northern Song Dynasty was probably one of the most benevolent imperial families in history and rarely killed people.
Therefore, scholars of later generations cried and cried to live in the Northern Song Dynasty because scholars had the highest status and privileges in that era.
Even if one contradicted the emperor and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, the emperor of the Song Dynasty rarely killed anyone. The greatest method was to demote one's official position and drive them out of the capital. The further the demoted, the better.
Similarly, the Northern Song royal family treated the old Zhao family's own royal family very well. They were only imprisoned in Kaifeng City and raised like pigs, but the treatment was very good.
In addition to the Eight Virtuous Kings 'own abilities and qualifications, he became one of the big shots in the court.
"Black Dragon Cavalry?" The Eight Virtuous Kings said hesitantly. He was very clear about the power of heavy cavalry like the Black Dragon Cavalry. It could be said to be a killing weapon on the battlefield. However, the cost of raising a Black Dragon Cavalry was also an astronomical figure.
"No, light cavalry!"
"The cost of the Black Dragon Cavalry is too great. Moreover, if we really mass-produce the Black Dragon Cavalry, no matter how merciful Zhao Zhen is, he will not be at ease. Therefore, unless we really decide to conquer Xixia, the Black Dragon Cavalry will only remain at 800!”
Furthermore, 300 of these 800 were in the depths of the palace and were directly allocated by Zhao Zhen. Only the remaining 500 could be used by Zhao Xuan!
"Light cavalry, how do you want to train? If someone were to discover this, it would be a huge matter!”The Eight Virtuous Kings said to Zhao Xuan seriously.
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from Father. Father, do you know about the three bandit gangs that roam the Frontier?”
"Now, the three bandit groups have a total of ten thousand people. The power of the three bandit groups has reached its limit. Even if they continue to develop, there is no future.”Zhao Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Do you know that cavalry is not that easy to train? Moreover, being a mounted bandit is completely different from being a regular soldier. Without a true cavalry general, who would be able to command these ten thousand cavalry?”The Eight Virtuous Kings said in a deep voice.
Without a qualified commander, it was very difficult for a cavalry to take shape. This was not like infantry, which could be formed by walking in a battle formation. Cavalry was a military type that placed great importance on the commander.
"Father, your son is doing this because I have complete confidence. Otherwise, your son wouldn't have easily gathered them.”Zhao Xuan said confidently.
"Fine, since I've been supporting him since ten years ago, then let him be!”The Eight Virtuous Kings said helplessly in their hearts.
