I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 738 Small incidents other than war

The envoys were repatriated, and they were repatriated without any reply.

With the repatriation of the envoys, the frontline once again passed, and the generals in the front received the imperial edict... to carry out operations in a differentiated manner.

This hit the Xixia people in a daze, really a little dazed.

Originally, when Xingqing Mansion proposed a peace negotiation, Da Song's offensive and advance stopped, basically entering the stage of truce negotiations.Regardless of whether it was negotiated or not, there should be contacts. Who knew that Da Song would suddenly start fighting again.

The point is that Da Song's offense is actually different.

In the face of absolute strength, all illusions will be shattered.

Because of the accident of the Heishan Weifu Army Division, the Baimaqiangzhen Army Division and the Right Wing Qianshun Army Division have preserved a certain amount of strength. Except for Xingqing Mansion, they should be the two strongest teams at present.

However, under the fierce attack of the two armies of Wang Shao and Li Xian, the entire northern line of Xixia retreated steadily.The so-called preserved strength, under the powerful attack of Song Dynasty, is really like a chicken and a dog, vulnerable to a single blow.

How about saying that the party members are brave.It may be because the Xingqing Mansion felt humiliated by Da Song's ignoring the peace proposal after its own side proposed a peace, or it may be that the Xixia main battle faction gained the upper hand in the discussion. Anyway, when the northern front was advancing aggressively, the entire Xixia defense line once again A counterattack was launched.

Ugh······

At this time, it is really impossible to tell whether the strategy is right or wrong, and the entire cabinet ministers are quite speechless.According to the usual practice, when one party proposes a peace agreement, it means that the war has come to an end.

However, this time is too different. The peace talks collapsed at the beginning, before entering the negotiation stage.

"The "On the Times" also has articles on war reviews, right?"

"Going back to the official's house, there is more. But the market's lies, it can't be true."

The imperial court did not put forward any opinions, and the practice of directly repatriating the Xixia envoys was indeed very relieved.However, such a result will alert Beiliao, which is what Fu Bi is worried about.

No, the resistance of party members has become more and more determined.

The destruction of Xixia and the recovery of Yanyun, the recovery of Yanyun is more important to the Song Dynasty.If it is because of various changes in the Xixia war that will increase the difficulty of the future war with the Northern Liao Dynasty, it is really hard to say which is more important.

"Fu Xiang, let someone reveal the request made by the Xixia envoy."

Lies in the marketplace cannot be taken as true.But Zhao Xi is well aware of the importance of public opinion.

"How to disclose the details, the punishment for violating the secrecy law, etc., the cabinet has a charter. In addition, when leaking, it is best to make some exaggerations..."

It is certain that neighboring countries will pay attention to this war.However, due to the implementation of the secrecy decree of the country and the court, even though there are many secret works floating in Bianliang, there are almost no people who can really find out the news of the court.In other words, there are many speculations in Bianliang City about the specific process and content of Xixia's dispatch of envoys.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Fu Bi solemnly accepted Chen Zunzhi's reply.

This is an opportunity to take the blame for meritorious service. Fu Bi is very cautious in how to choose people.Everyone in the cabinet has discussed it, and there is no candidate at hand to recommend.

How should I put it, no one knows that this is an opportunity, but no one knows that the first punishment for this opportunity is to use the secrecy law.People who are close to him have a lot of opportunities to be recommended as the cabinet, so there is absolutely no need to bear the infamy of leaking court secrets.Irrelevant, and I don't want to throw away such an opportunity...
To put it bluntly, it was quite difficult.

Chen Xiang is fair and honest, knows people and recommends them well. The cabinet of the imperial court and most of the political parties have had contacts with him. The people recommended by Chen Xiang are often worthy of their names.

As a last resort, Fu Bi visited Chen Xiang.

Within a few days, there were rumors in the market that it was about Xixia sending envoys to negotiate a peace.The whole rumor that the right nose has eyes is rumored to be the words of Zheng Xia, the governor of the imperial court Jinzou Academy, after drinking.

Each of the prefectures has set up officials who are dedicated to the capital, and the court officials are also in charge, and they are subordinate to Gishizhong, who are in charge of delivering official documents.After the reform of Zhenghe, due to the abolition of Gishizhong and the establishment of a supervisory yamen, Jinzhaoyuan was assigned to a separate shift and directly subordinated to the cabinet. affairs.

Therefore, the rumors were taken seriously from the beginning.Even "Shi Lun" opened a special issue to discuss the reasons, purposes, significance and the court's response to the Xingqing government's dispatch of envoys.

The progress of the war situation, and various reports of Bianliang’s arrival have been related to discussions. Because of this rumor, there have also been articles by people of insight accusing the front army... It is believed that it is because of the passive combat in the front, and the It led to Xixia's arrogance.

A rumor that is getting worse.

At the same time, the good news from the front was transmitted frequently again, and once again there was a great situation in which various armies advanced and wiped out the enemy soaring, which seemed to prove the authenticity of this rumor.

As long as you connect and think about it, you can figure it out.Due to the passive combat ahead, the Xixia people had ideas, and only then did the envoys make unreasonable demands.In today's war situation, what the Xixia people mentioned is indeed unreasonable.

It is such unreasonable demands that made the imperial court determined not to compromise, which led to the increase in the intensity of the current frontline war.

At this time, there was a bullet in the internal reference about Zheng Xia's disclosure of court secrets and violation of the secrecy law.

Soon, the supervisory office intervened, and quickly investigated the ins and outs of the matter. ·

Zheng Xia and his friends had a banquet in Fanlou. When the wine was in full swing, they discussed current affairs and the war situation. While drunk, Zheng Xia leaked the content of the letter of credence submitted by the envoy of Xixia, and spread it to the market... ··
According to the Confidentiality Act, what Zheng Xia did was not a subjective wish, but the result of unintentional disclosure after drinking and based on the leaked content.After being invited by the supervisory office to the cabinet, Zheng Xia was revoked from the posts of governor and political participation in the court, and fled to border states...

This is entirely punished according to the terms of the secrecy law, and there is no element of favoritism.This further confirms the authenticity of the rumors in the market.

It has been a long time, except for the information released by the court, there are very few gossip about such important court affairs. Therefore, Zheng Xia's impeachment and punishment became the most interesting thing to talk about after dinner in Bianliang.

"Will you believe it?"

The gale of public opinion has blown up, and I don't know whether I will believe those fine works floating in Bianliang.

"This is a fact in itself, so what if you believe it or not?"

"Zheng Jiefu is tired!"

The ministers in the cabinet are all talking about Zheng Xia's matter, so one can imagine how influential this incident is.

"Jiefu is almost unable to survive in Bianliang now. It's not that he has committed any serious crimes, but that he has been harassed so much... The court should make a plan for Zheng Xia to go out as soon as possible."

Fu Bi didn't expect to have such a big impact and cause such a big wave.I was a little embarrassed to see Chen Xiang.

However, what Fu Bi really couldn't believe was the role played by this small incident outside of the war.
