Xu Bingzhe said: "Now is not the time to start a war."

"You mean peace?"

"That's what I mean."

Xu Bingzhe said confidently, he was thinking, the two big guys from the main war faction were in prison, isn't it obvious that the direction of the trend is not obvious!

The officials want to make peace, but they just can't do it, so as a minister, I have to share the worries for the officials!

You see, am I a loyal minister?

Great loyal minister!

Moreover, most people in this court advocate peace. If I stand with most people, I will not be implicated by He Li.

I'm such an old clever guy!

"I think that the Jin people are just barbarians who are greedy for a little money. We, the Song Dynasty, are rich all over the world, so we can just give them some. As long as they get the money, they will retreat."

Xu Bingzhe continued to speak, and the ministers around him began to scold Xu Bingzhe for being shameless.

Zhao Ning asked: "Where does the money come from? The imperial treasury is tight."

Xu Bingzhe said: "You can definitely borrow it from the common people. The court also wants to protect their safety, and the common people will not have any objections."

"Don't you have any objections?" The smile on Zhao Ning's face suddenly disappeared, his expression became cold, as cold as a piece of ice, and his tone became sharp, "I will be the first to seize all your Xu Bingzhe's family assets.

, are you willing?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am also thinking of ways to retreat from the enemy."

Originally, when Xu Bingzhe said this, some of the peace ministers planned to come out and echo him. However, the emperor's attitude suddenly changed. Those who were about to come out were startled and quickly shrank back.

The taxes of the Song Dynasty were very famous in history, with all kinds of clever names.

I wish the common people had to pay taxes with every breath.

The officials of the Song Dynasty racked their brains every day to extract money from the people at the bottom.

Xu Bingzhe is a typical person who peels off the skin of the common people and pulls their muscles, and then gives the money to the Jin people, but he himself will not pay at all.

Faced with the emperor's sudden attitude, Xu Bingzhe was a little confused for a while.

Your Majesty, haven't you already dismissed He Li, the leader of the main battle faction?

You should be the one to make peace!

Since we have made peace, let’s just get some money out. Isn’t that right?

Zhao Ning said with a gloomy face: "Okay, even if you give the Jin people a sum of money, what will happen if the Jin people don't retreat?"

Xu Bingzhe's palms suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He stammered: "This... Your Majesty, the golden man must..."

"I ask you, what will happen if the person who gave the money does not withdraw his troops?"

On one side, Wang Shiyongzheng wanted to take action, and the peace advocates were also ready to take action.

Zhao Ning immediately said angrily: "Tell me! What should I do if I don't retreat after giving you money?"

Is he really furious?

He is so angry that the reason why he is getting angry now is to prevent more advocates and factions from coming forward.

He Li has lost power, and the peace faction has raised its head. If all these fools come forward today, the situation will not be easy to suppress.

Therefore, before Wang Shiyong and others took action, Zhao Ning prepared to strike preemptively.

The emperor's voice echoed in the hanging arch hall.

Wang Shiyong said: "Your Majesty, minister..."

"Shut up! I'm asking about Xu Bingzhe. Don't you all know what comes first and what comes last when discussing matters between the king and his ministers? Isn't it disrespectful to me to interrupt my question casually?"

As soon as the emperor said these words, the officials were immediately shocked.

Wang Shiyong was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, calm down, I am afraid!"

It is not true that officials in the Song Dynasty did not kneel, such as during important ceremonies, such as when being questioned.

The other ministers were also trembling.

what's the situation?

Didn't He Li be dismissed just now?

Why all of a sudden...

Your Majesty, is he going to lead the battle?

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

I'm really not sure what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd at the official house today.

Zhao Ning glanced at the other ministers coldly. The other ministers were planning to speak, but they did not dare to say more after the emperor's rebuke.

Xu Bingzhe was left standing in the middle, looking confused and trembling.

He couldn't stand any longer, so he knelt on the ground and buried his head.

Zhao Ning was still a little angry. These guys just spoke out of hand without worrying about the consequences or the next situation. They only thought about themselves and made money for their political future.

In fact, there were many civil servants with integrity and ability in the Northern Song Dynasty.

For example, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi, later Wang Anshi, Sima Guang can barely be counted as half, and Zhang Kai (jie, second tone) and others almost destroyed Xixia.

Even Zhong Shidao, a famous general of the Western Army, and Zong Ze, who was organizing troops and horses in Hebei to fight against the Jin Dynasty at this time, was also a civilian.

The civil servants in the Northern Song Dynasty were not as shameless ideologically as they were in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, after more than 20 years of hard work by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the central ministers in the court were basically more idiotic than the others, and the political atmosphere was turned into a mess.

The current situation is the mess left by Song Huizong.

Of course, Zhao Ning has no intention of rectifying the mess in the DPRK and China.

After all, the most important thing at the moment is to serve the enemy. Doing anything else is not doing your job properly.

Wait for the Jin people to retreat and then proceed slowly.

Political matters are the most urgent and must be cut with a knife.

He looked at Xu Bingzhe coldly, "You jumped out on your own. If I don't take action on you, I won't be sorry for your painstaking care of me!"

So how can we make everything serve the purpose of defending against the enemy?

Very simple.

One, remove idiots like He Li who are the main militants.

Second, in front of everyone, kill a leader and block the mouth of the leader.

Third, raid a house by the way and make a little fortune.

Zhao Ning stared at Xu Bingzhe and said coldly: "Stop talking?"

Xu Bingzhe was trembling all over, but his mind was spinning rapidly.

He couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do now.

However, there are so many peace-promoting factions in the court. If you advocate peace by yourself, you are on the side of the majority of people. You must be right.

Even if the emperor doesn't want to make peace, so what?

Can the emperor change the current situation?

Thinking of this, Xu Bingzhe said bravely: "Your Majesty, peace is the only way. I want to protect your Majesty's country and the country of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Ning sneered: "Did you all hear that? He said it was to protect my country! I asked him what if he gave the Jin people money and the Jin people didn't retreat. He replied that it was to protect my country!

"

"Everyone of you, keep your ears open and listen carefully! This is him, Xu Bingzhe, answering my question. A powerful and knowledgeable Kaifeng governor, when faced with my questions, the answer is wrong! This is my powerful and knowledgeable Kaifeng governor!
