Zhao Zhen's scolding temporarily stopped the argument between the two. However, Gu Jin, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and said, "Su Shaofu, don't think that you are the only one who is smart. Do you know that war requires money, and now the treasury has just
There is a surplus..."
"Master Gu, right?"
Su Shi looked sideways at him. They had met before at the New Year's banquet. But at that time, this person was still very low-key, but he didn't want to become the vanguard of the Ministry of Revenue now.
But it's okay, it's just right to stand up, otherwise, Su Shi would still find it pointless to only confront Wang Deyong.
"You should call me Master Gu." Gu Jinzhi's words were interrupted by Su Shi, which made him very unhappy.
"Okay." Su Shi followed the rules of the officialdom. According to the rules of the officialdom, if the official rank is not as good as the person, he must be called an adult. Only those with higher grades can call those with lower grades, and they will be called officials.
"Gu Shilang, you said that money is needed to fight a war, hahaha, don't I know? Or are you old and have a bad memory, and have forgotten that my officer traveled across the Liao and Meng lands?" Su Shi's eyes were full of disdain.
Being called as Gu Shilang again, Gu Jin felt depressed. Didn't you promise well? Why didn't you change your words?
But at this moment, he no longer thought about it so much, because he also remembered that Su Shi had actually led troops and fought in battles, and had turned a man upside down in the land of Liao and Meng.
Discussing military skills with such a person is obviously a bit of a trick.
But this Gu Jin was also very thick-skinned, and quickly said: "Yes, Su Shaofu is very powerful and richer, but not everyone is as rich as you. Su Shaofu is planning to do it again."
A trip to the north doesn’t cost a penny from the treasury?”
This is somewhat ironic.
You're awesome, why don't you do it again?
Last time, no one believed that you would really go to Liao, so the Liao people were caught off guard.
But now, there are not only Liao people, but also Mongolian cavalry and Xixia troops in the north. It may not be that easy or even impossible to take advantage of them.
Everyone could see this situation, but Gu Jin didn't believe it. Su Shi still dared to go north under such circumstances?
These words were meant to inspire. Then Gu Jin looked at Su Shi to see if you could fall into the trap. If you don't have the guts, you'd better shut up.
The other ministers were also looking at Su Shi to see how he would answer. Among them, Bao Zheng was a little anxious. He was afraid that Su Shi would really agree to it if he was angered because he was young.
As everyone thought, the situation in the north is not as calm as it was when Su Shi went to Liaodi. In the chaotic situation, if he makes a wrong move, he may suffer a big defeat, and even being killed is not impossible.
"Why not?"
To the surprise of many people, Su Shi agreed immediately.
"Isn't it just a trip to the north? Others regard it as a place of life and death. In my eyes, the coalition of three tribes is nothing more than chickens and dogs."
Su Shi said with full confidence on his face, and after speaking, he looked at Gu Jin, "If Gu Shilang is willing to accompany me, I can consider paying for this battle myself, how about it? Do you have any
This courage?"
Counterattack an army.
Weren't you awesome just now?
He looked like he had convinced me.
Well, now I say go, the question is do you dare to go?
If you go, I don't need to allocate money from the treasury. How about that? That's interesting.
"You..." Gu Jin's face suddenly changed, and he was really stunned.
Isn't it good to stay in Bianliang City, where every day is windy, beautiful, beautiful and well-fed?
Isn't it good to stay in Bianliang City, stand in the court, and receive compliments from others?
If you go to the Northland, there may be a war at any time, and you may even die at any time.
You only have one life, and you can't take risks just because of your whim.
I am a rational person, Gu Jin thought, and simply did not answer Su Shi's question. He just turned his head and stepped back.
"Hmph! You're a coward who only knows how to talk. I don't know how you can have the honor to stand in this court." Su Shi said unforgivingly.
He is not a saint.
After you bullied me, you couldn't say anything anymore. As soon as you turned around, I pulled you down.
Are you kidding me? If you turn around, it's because you are weak and can't defeat me. It's not because you don't want to be on the same level as me. Even so, I will bully you and let you taste the feeling of being targeted.
"I still say the same thing. I can go to the north, and I am even confident that I can break the so-called alliance of the three tribes, and I can even do it without a penny from the treasury, but I have some conditions. One of them is this eloquent person
Mr. Gu wants to follow."
"Well, yes, he just wants to follow. If you think about it, he is so eloquent that he can turn black into white. If such a person is sent to the battlefield, if we lose, we can
If he were to throw it away, his mouth could be equal to an army of millions."
"Hahaha."
Among the ministers, some couldn't help laughing, and among them, most of them were military generals.
These generals have wanted to speak out for a long time. Even if others have come to fight at home, what is there to discuss? They can just fight back.
It's just a pity that they all speak softly. Looking at the generals who can go to court, the highest one is only a fifth-rank official.
The civil servants of the Song Dynasty were originally a higher level than the military officers. In other words, these fifth-grade military generals were only equivalent to a sixth-grade civil servant.
As a little sixth-rank man, what right do you think he has to speak in front of the first- and second-rank officials in the court?
I'm afraid that if I really wanted to stand up and say something, I would be like Yang Wenguang, who was scolded and left without saying anything.
The generals who could not express their opinions were expressing their dissatisfaction in another way at this time, and at the same time they were supporting Su Shi.
Indeed, no one has had any dealings with each other before. But now, Su Shi is the only one taking the lead.
Although his main battle seems to be forced, he still belongs to the main battle faction, right? 33
The sound of laughter filled the entire Chui Gong Hall, but this time Zhao Zhen did not open his mouth to rebuke.
Su Shi's appearance surprised many people, including Zhao Zhen himself.
But now, this expectation seems to bring unexpected joy. As for Zhao Zhen himself, he is actually the main fighter in his heart. It must be uncomfortable to be bullied to the point of being bullied and allowed to continue pretending to be a grandson.
But when all the ministers stopped taking the lead in the battle, Zhao Zhen lost his confidence.
Facts will make Zhao Zhen think, is the Song Dynasty really too weak? In the past, it could not even defeat the Liao Kingdom. Now it has to face three tribes. Is there any hope of victory?
When a person loses his confidence, he will naturally become timid. Now that Su Shi has stepped forward, he has given Zhao Zhen this confidence again.
Zhao Zhen said nothing, and fell into Gu Jin's eyes, making him clenched his fists and breathing heavily, but he did not dare to say anything.
This Su Shi is really too difficult to deal with. The key is that this person is too young and has an impulsive personality. He doesn't know the cruelty of the battlefield at all.
Do you really think that this battle against the three tribes is so easy to fight? Aren't you afraid that if you really go and die there?
It doesn't matter if you die, why are you dragging me with you?
If you want to refute Su Shi, but are worried that the other party will really drag you down, then just shut up.
If you don't have the guts, just pretend to be a grandson.
Gu Jin decided to endure. As the old saying goes, endure the storm for a while.
But obviously, Su Shi has no intention of letting him go. Since you have offended me, I won't beat you to death if I have the chance. This is not Su Shi's style.
"How's it going? Mr. Gu, you haven't answered my question yet." Su Shi chuckled and continued to look at Gu Jin, who had retreated into the ranks of ministers.
"Humph, it's just the courage of a warrior." Gu Jin replied in a not too loud voice, which was actually a sign of giving in.
"Haha, a martial artist? If a martial artist can save the country, then what if I become this martial artist? By the way, is there anyone else who has the same opinion as Gu Shilang? They can all stand up now. Don't worry, you don't have to force me, no.
Is it just a trip to the north? It’s not a big deal, it’s just a matter of bringing a few more people. Gu Jin is one of them, is there anyone else?”
Su Shi said very arrogantly, meaning to tell everyone, if anyone still dislikes me, come, stand up, and refute me together, and then I will take you to the north.
It's all said and done, and whoever is stupid will stand up.
Are you kidding me? If I really followed Su Shi to the north, I would have to say whether I came back or not. The ministers were silent for a while.
Just now, those who agreed to give in, compromise and negotiate all shut their mouths. Even when Su Shi glanced at him, some people simply lowered their heads.
I won’t look at you, okay, so can you still call my name?
Don't say it, Su Shi just said, "Ms. Wang, Privy Envoy Wang, how about we go together? You are in charge of the military affairs. You must have gone to the front line, and the morale of the soldiers must be high."
shock."
When his name was called, Wang De turned his head and did not look at Su Shi.
It is true that he is a privy envoy and a big shot in the military. But now that he is old and cannot lift his hands or carry his shoulders, what is he going to do on the front line?
Besides, the situation in the North is so dangerous. If the situation cannot be reversed, even if you can come back alive, you will still be punished.
Wang Deyong would not agree to this kind of thankless task unless his head was squeezed by the door.
Wang Deyong didn't speak and didn't even dare to look at Su Shi. Su Shi shook his head and continued to scan his eyes, then fell on Wen Yanbo, who was looking at him with wide eyes.
Wen Yanbo stared at Su Shi with wide eyes, as if to warn him, don't call my name or provoke me.
Will Su Shi take such a threat seriously?
of course not.
"Mr. Wen, you want to negotiate with the aliens, right? Okay, then let's go together. You talk about yours, and I fight mine. How about it doesn't affect each other? Of course, if you are really killed by the aliens, look at
If you fight with your colleagues, I will collect the body for you."
