Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 314

Four days later, the good news of Qinfeng Road's great victory reached Bianliang, which made the entire Zhou court excited.

For many years, Da Zhou had never achieved such a brilliant achievement. If it hadn't been for the fact that Wuzang Yuanpang had turned into a lump of meat, the emperor could go to the Taimiao to sacrifice prisoners and ancestors.

Zichen Palace.

Sitting on it, the official had a rare smile on his face.

Among the many ministers below, Chai Ziyun, Duke Cheng of the main battle faction, was beaming, glancing at Cui Miyuan from time to time.

Prime Minister Cui lowered his head, showing no expression.

After Deputy Prime Minister Xu Zuoqian read the good news from Lu Zhixiao, he read another secret letter.

This made everyone in the hall gasp. The young emperor of Xixia Kingdom and the queen mother in power all died in an accident?
After a brief surprise, everyone found a good opportunity. Now the country of Xixia is in chaos. The emperor is dead, the queen mother is dead, and the 18 troops are dead.

You must know that Xixia only has a population of 300 million, and the total military strength of the country is only 50, which is almost half of it at once. In addition, the drought in Xixia is serious, and the people are struggling to survive.

It seems to be the best time to destroy Xixia.

Shen Bowen, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, was the first to stand up:
"Officials, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At this time, the 30 troops led by Deputy Commander Lu are on the border of Xixia Kingdom. We should take this opportunity to capture Xixia. This opportunity must not be missed."

As soon as these words came out, many ministers whispered to each other, thinking that this was indeed a good opportunity.

Zhou Yucheng, a political adviser, raised an objection:

"Officials, if I send troops to Xixia in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I'm afraid I will directly attract the Liao army. At that time, we and Xixia will fight to the death, and we will lose both. However, it will give Beiliao an opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Have to guard against."

As soon as this remark came out, it received a wave of support from Xiangdang officials.

Shen Bowen disagrees:
"The Liao army is thousands of miles away, and my Dazhou army is at the border. The Xingqing Mansion is only four hundred miles away. Whether it is the right time or the right location, our country is superior. The official family, the Hetao area occupied by Xixia, But it's a good place to raise horses."

The shortage of horses in the Great Zhou Dynasty has reached the point of insanity. Domestic transportation is basically based on cattle, donkeys, and mules.

Even horses are mainly rough horses, which are not suitable for war horses at all. This is one of the main reasons why Da Zhou has been suppressed and beaten by northern nomads in the military.

As soon as they heard that occupying Xixia can occupy Hetao, everyone became interested all of a sudden.

Zhao Hongguang, Minister of the Household Department, poured cold water on it:
"Wars are about logistics. The consumption of the 30 troops, in the past month alone, cost 400 million taels of silver. The 30 troops consume more than 50 catties of food a day. If we continue to fight, After several months of invincibility, I am afraid that the national treasury will be empty.

And now that the drought is severe in the north, the disaster relief money allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs has reached 300 million taels, and there are countless relief food. You can do the math, can we afford a war of destroying the country? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped again.

This is definitely a cannon shot, ten thousand taels of gold, Da Zhou's foundation is not weak, but Da Zhou's redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses have eaten up most of the fiscal revenue, and there is no deficit throughout the year. Thank goodness for that.

In the battle of Xixia's destruction of the country, 30 troops alone were not enough, but it was increased to 50 or 60. After a year or so of fighting, the Xixia Kingdom did not perish, and Da Zhou himself was about to vomit blood first.

Shen Bowen was quite dissatisfied:
"Master Zhao, if you talk about war, you count it as money, but you never thought about the benefits of capturing Xixia? From now on, I will no longer be short of horses in Dazhou, and I will no longer have to look at the face of Beiliao. Besides, the Li family of Xixia was originally a judge Minister and traitor, everyone gets it and punishes him!"

"Yes, to fight!"

"No, you can't fight!"

All of a sudden, there was another quarrel between the court and the court. Cheng Guo Gong Chai Ziyun saw that Prime Minister Cui had not spoken, so he held back his silence. He had to decide his position according to the position of this old fox.

At this time in the harem

The commander of the Imperial City Division, Zhou Jingyi, is reporting some emergencies to Empress Yang.

Chen Bu'er thought that his actions were invisible, but he didn't know at all that he and Chai Zijin were the key protection groups of the Huangcheng Division, and their every move was under the strict surveillance of the Huangcheng Division, the secret service.

Empress Yang was so shocked that she stepped off the throne, the whole room was empty, only this pair of aunt and nephew.

"You mean, Chen Buer used the trick of crossing the sky and sea, and then sneaked into Xingqing Mansion secretly with Zijin and more than 20 of his guards?"

"Yes, and they entered Xixia pretending to be the medicine caravan of Gushengtang. Our spies saw Mr. Chen appear in Xingqing Mansion with their own eyes. It seems that they are selling medicine and want to sell it at a good price."

"What time is this?"

"Hui Niangniang, Mr. Chen and Mr. Yi County set off from Qinzhou on December 24, and arrived at Xingqing Mansion on December 28, and the fire that night in Xingqing Mansion happened on December [-]. December [-]."

Empress Yang's eyes sparkled: "You mean..."

Zhou Jingyi's voice was also put to the softest:
"The same modus operandi, the same explosion, the same fire, and it happened that Chen Buer was present. Now it can be confirmed that he committed the two arson cases. He either mastered a mysterious army, or he had a kind of Special weapons."

Empress Yang thought for a long time, and then asked: "Are you sure that the emperor and queen mother of Xixia Kingdom died in the fire that night?"

"Yes, that night our spies first heard explosions from all over the venue, followed by an explosion from a secret message from the palace, and the news that the emperor and queen mother had passed away the next day, the Xixia Kingdom is right. acute disease."

"It's terrible. It seems that the Chen family was raided that day, and Da Nei was bombed three times. It was Chen Bu who was merciful. If the bombing happened indiscriminately like this time in Xixia, both the officials and my family might die that night. gone."

Zhou Jingyi's eyes revealed a murderous look:
"How can you allow other people to sleep soundly on the side of the collapse, ma'am, this Chen Buer is so dangerous that he can even threaten the imperial power. Do you want to send troops to arrest him..."

"No, no."

Empress Yang frowned:

"Let's not talk about whether we can take him down in one fell swoop. What if he is annoyed and he also sets off a fire in Bianliang City? What if his master is really a god and attracts revenge from the gods? At present Come on, at least he still protects us Da Zhou.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no need for him to take the risk and sneak into Xixia, and cooperate with our Dazhou army to destroy the 20 Xixia enemy troops. If it were you, would you dare?So he is still loyal to the emperor and patriotic in his bones, as long as you don't mess with him, he is a harmless person. "

Empress Yang was still a little nervous. A person who would kill even the emperor and queen mother of a country is so easy to get along with?
In her mind, all she could think about was how to win over Chen Buer for her use.
