The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 550 has a plan
"Your Majesty, this is the memorandum sent by Wuping's Zhou Baoquan. The first is to let the court allow Wuping to bury Zhou Xingfeng with the etiquette of a prince, and the other is to hope that the court can really canonize Zhou Baoquan as Wuping Jiedushi."

Fortunately, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites or Tao Gu had always been on Zhao Xu's side during the coup, otherwise he wouldn't be here now.

"Wei Renpu, what do you think of this matter?" Wei Renpu is now the oldest prime minister in the court, and Zhao Kuangyin asked him first.

"Reporting to the emperor, the veterans think that Wuping is moving closer to the imperial court. They have already regarded themselves as an administrative region of the imperial court, which means that they have been subdued."

"The imperial court can take this opportunity to let Wuping surrender directly to the imperial court, and directly take back Wuping's military and political power."

Wei Renpu said what Zhao Kuangyin thought in his heart, but Zhao Kuangyin couldn't say it. It seems that this old boy really understands the emperor's mind.

"Your Majesty has something to say. This matter must never be done. We must not do this. We want to take him in with a force like Wu Ping, but not now."

The only remaining two prime ministers in the court are the old minister Wei Renpu and the other is Zhao Pu. This Zhao Pu is also a clear banner in the court.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao does not agree with the old man's statement, is there any other reason for your own?"

Wei Renpu turned his head to ask Zhao Pu, not because he wanted to embarrass Zhao Pu, but because he really felt that this was an opportunity.

"The old Prime Minister is not targeting your opinion. Your majesty thinks so. We want to unify the world. After two years of self-cultivation, our Song Dynasty has already gained a certain strength. If we rashly destroy the local Power, will it cause other forces to rebound."

Zhao Pu directly explained the chain reaction that would be caused by doing so. Will these small forces be moved to panic because of this, and will they unite in this way?

Will other big forces be wary of us when they see this, and it will be more difficult for us to unify in the future.

As soon as the other people heard the words of these two big men, the others were unwilling to lag behind and started talking.

"Ahem, since all the adults have lost their words, can I just say a few words, maybe what I said is not good, so it's just a throw away."

Zhao Xu's voice rang out in the hall. He had been listening and only spoke now. You all know what the emperor is thinking.

"Father, my lords, I have an immature idea that I haven't said all this time, and now I will say it for everyone to see."

"Oh, what is the crown prince's opinion, I will listen with all my ears." Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what Zhao Xu was talking about, but he still cooperated with it.

"It's the father, it's like this, what Lord Wei Renpu and Lord Zhao Pu said just now is very reasonable. I, the Great Song Dynasty, will inherit the world and naturally want to unify the world. We will not take power like Wuping to heart. .”

On the face of it, these are the things we will care about in the future.”

"Of course, people like Wu Ping also need power and subjugation, but what we need to pay attention to is strategy. We must grasp this point well, otherwise it will be really difficult."

Zhao Xu's words are very obvious, you ministers should take a closer look at the whole world. As for the current affairs, the prince has made arrangements, so don't talk about it.

"And today is not the time to discuss this matter. We need to reply to Wu Ping as soon as possible. This is the main theme. We must not deviate from the main theme."

You ministers, don't talk nonsense, put the cart before the horse, can this be the time to say these things, now is the time to reply to others.

Yes, what the prince said is very correct now, it is not the time to say these words, but it is time to appease the Wuping monarch and ministers.

Although the Song Dynasty has never recognized that Wuping is a court, it is indeed a small court.

"What His Majesty the Crown Prince said is true, now our Ministry of Rites should reply to the envoy of Wu Ping?"

Tao Gu is still depressed, I was in the hall to let the emperor decide what to do, but you are talking about other things here, it is really nonsense.

Now that Zhao Xu saw that the topic had turned to this again, Tao Gu was very grateful to Zhao Xu.

At this time, the ministers also remembered that they were just talking about what to do with the Wuping matter, and now they are waiting for the emperor to reply to them.

"Prince En is right. The person who came here drafted an order to allow Zhou Xingfeng to be buried with the ceremony of a king, and to be named the king of Nanping. Zhou Xingfeng was named the military governor of Wuping, and he was in charge of the military and political power of Wuping. The rest will be rewarded."

Zhao Kuangyin made a final decision. There was no need to discuss these matters at all, and he could settle them. It was just to test the reaction of the officials.

It seems that everyone is thinking about conquering the world, it would be nice to have such a heart, Zhao Kuangyin is very satisfied.

"There is also the appointment of generals Hu Yanzan and Gao Huaide as imperial envoys to Wuping to announce the decree and resign from the court." Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly left after finishing speaking.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince, invites you to come over. He said that he has something to discuss, so you can come with your servant." Xiao Shunzi has now become the chief eunuch next to Zhao Kuangyin.

But now he is cautious and does not dare to be presumptuous. No one else knows what happened to his predecessor, but he does.

What's more, the person in front of him said that he wanted to die, no one could stop him, he had to be more careful, and he didn't dare to make mistakes at all.

Zhao Xu ignored the discussions of the ministers behind him, and followed that little Shunzi to see Zhao Kuangyin.

"Sit down, tell me why you gave me winks in the court today, what are your plans for Wuping, I remember you came back from Nanping, do you have any arrangements there?"

Today in the court hall, as soon as Zhao Xu talked about Nanping, he gave his father many winks, and then told the ministers not to pay attention to such a small place like this, Zhao Kuangyin knew there was a problem.

"Hey, you can see that, let me tell you. I have already arranged it here, and the results should be coming soon. Didn't you keep saying that there must be a valid reason, and the reason will be there soon."

Zhao Kuangyin always said that no matter what kind of war it is, there must be a legitimate reason, so Zhao Xu gave him a reason.

Zhao Xu told Zhao Kuangyin that he must be ready, don't ask now, I will take Nanping smoothly.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't speak after hearing Zhao Xu's words, but just kept looking at Zhao Xu, and then both father and son burst out laughing.

The eunuchs outside looked at each other, not knowing what was going on inside.

　Finally finished today's work, it's really hard to find a job.
