"Yes, Queen Mother. Queen Chongen said that she made a few snacks and presented them to the two Queen Mothers for tasting."
"It's rare for her to be filial. Call her in."
"yes."
As soon as the people in Chong'en Palace were called to the entrance of the side hall, Liang Shicheng ran to the door in a panic and almost bumped into the people in Chong'en Palace.
"Pardon the Queen Mother! Pardon the Queen! Pardon the Concubine! Officials, emergency military report from the northwest!" Liang Shicheng said hurriedly at the entrance of the palace.
"Come in." Zhao Si said.
Liang Shicheng hurriedly ran in with his coat in hand. The servant of Shengci Palace quickly stopped the person coming from Chongen Palace at the door and told her to wait a moment.
Zhao Si took the military report and glanced at it, but his eyes lit up and his expression did not change much.
But Zhu, Zeng Shuhua, and Ming Zhaoxia were anxious.
When they saw Liang Shicheng running and sweating profusely, they thought something big had happened. When they saw Zhao Shi being silent, they felt even more anxious.
Ming Zhaoxia couldn't hold back her anger and spoke first.
"Guan family, what happened in the northwest?"
"It's just good news. Liu Fa and Yao Gong took advantage of Zhe Linggong, Zhao Long, Zhe Yanzhi, Yang Zongmin and others to drag the main force of the Xia army to Yinzhou, besiege Liangzhou, capture the city in two days and one night, and then defeat Sha Sha
Tuo's army will occupy Yingli City, and then move forward to attack the Xishou Army of Xia Kingdom and recover all their territory. At this point, the Hulu River to the west of Yingli City has returned to our Song Dynasty!"
"Ah!" Ming Zhaoxia screamed suddenly, stood up and jumped up and down.
She followed Zhao Si to the roads along the border, was familiar with the geography there, and knew what Zhao Si's understatement just meant.
Zhu and Zeng Shuhua didn't know what this meant. They only knew that the Song army conquered Liangzhou and conveniently destroyed a military division of the Xia Kingdom.
This news was enough to shock them.
Zhu clasped her hands together and muttered into the void: "Master Guanyin, bless me, the Great Song Dynasty! Bless my emperor!"
Zeng Shuhua was a bit dumbfounded, "Guan Jia, why are you so calm and composed after such a great victory?"
Can't I pretend to be a b?
Zhao Si laughed, "In the future, each victory will be greater than the last. Madam, we must start to adapt."
Ming Zhaoxia was standing next to him and said with admiration: "The official was so handsome just now, he really had Xie Dongshan's demeanor of 'the little boy has already defeated the thief'."
After the three of them calmed down from the surprise, Zhao Si said: "The good news has come, there are some things that need to be dealt with immediately. Mother, son, go to Chongzheng Hall first."
"Go!" Mrs. Zhu replied lovingly.
"Ladies, please stay with your mother."
"I know this, please rest assured, officials."
Zhao Si stood up and walked in the wind. When he was approaching the entrance of the side hall, he turned and asked Liang Shicheng, "Who is on duty at Minxing Pavilion today?"
"The official family, Mr. Yuandu and Mr. Xuanming are both here."
"Well, you invite them to the East Side Hall, and then call Cao Liulang, Huatian and Mengzi. Then go and ask Prime Minister Zhang and Prime Minister An to come...ah!" Zhao Si only focused on making an agreement with Master Liang.
When I said that, I didn't expect that there was another person standing at the door of the side hall, and I almost bumped into him.

Zhao Si took a look and saw that she was a girl. She was not as tall as his shoulders. She was thin and frail. She was holding a food box and stepped aside in fear. She lowered her head and muttered: "I have seen an official."
Zhao Si continued to walk forward without paying much attention to it. However, Zhu noticed his movement just now.
"What's wrong?"
"When I return to the Queen Mother, it's nothing. I'm from Chong'en Palace, and I'm paying tribute to the officials."
"I almost forgot, the people from Chong'en Palace are still there, please call in quickly."
The girl walked carefully to the palace and bowed first, "I have seen the Holy Mother and Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Concubine."
The sound is like a silver bell blown by the wind, crisp and clean.
Zhu said with a smile: "Ms. Liu is really thoughtful. She still cares about me, an old woman. What kind of snack did she make?"
"When I return to the Queen Mother, it will be four plates of cakes."
"Bring it up. This little lady's voice is so beautiful, just like the orioles calling on the branches. Come, come, come forward."
The palace maid stepped forward respectfully, placed the food box on the table in front of Zhu, and carefully opened the lid.
Zhu's attention was not on the snacks in the box, but on looking up and down at the palace maid.
She is young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her complexion is white and rosy, just like the petals of peach blossoms in spring. She has no make-up and no jewelry, but it makes her even more beautiful and charming.
Looking at her breasts, they are young but bulging, as well as her waist, and her butt kneeling on the ground, well, she is so fertile.
"She really looks like a little fairy." Mrs. Zhu looked at the palace maid in front of her and said with praise, "What's your name?"
"Returning to the Queen Mother, my maid's surname is Liu, and everyone calls me Liu Sanniang." The palace maid lowered her head and replied softly.
"Okay!" Mrs. Zhu looked at the palace maid, the more she looked at her, the more she fell in love with her.
Zeng Shuhua and Ming Zhaoxia looked at each other, their eyes a little wandering.
As soon as they entered the east side hall of Chongzheng Hall, Cai Bian and Changsun Moli, who had arrived a step earlier, hurriedly welcomed them out and congratulated them in unison: "A great victory in the northwest and the restoration of lost territory. I congratulate your majesty! Congratulations to the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Si cupped his hands and said, "I, the monarch of the Song Dynasty, congratulate you."
"Sit down first. There will be a lot of things to do later. I'll talk to you two first."
"Please give me some advice from the officials."
"Yuandu, Liangzhou's great victory, the publicity mouth must be activated. And the plan you proposed to go into the taverns and teahouses in the towns, and the countryside, fields and villages, must also be activated. Those propagandists recruited from the poor scholars and artists must be trained intensively.
Based on the reporting standards of "Donghua Chaobao" and "Tokyo Times", unify our thoughts, and then go to various places, talk, play and sing, and show off their magical powers."
"According to the order!" Cai Bian responded respectfully.
Zhao Si looked at him and nodded encouragingly.
Using him as the Secretary and Minister's Attendant was beyond the expectations of many people. Mr. Da Su and others also implicitly reminded themselves not to let Cai Bian secretly control the Secretary's Ministry.
How is it possible?
Those who were in charge of the library and other original staff in the Secretariat Department have long been diverted to other libraries, which is equivalent to rebuilding it by themselves. The backbone of the top and bottom staff were recruited by themselves through interviews and brought out by themselves, as well as Changsun Moli and Liu
He also served as a regular attendant on the left and right cavalry, and was in charge of various departments on the left and right.
How does Cai Bian secretly control the Secretariat Department?
I used Cai Bian because I liked his wisdom and his ability to confuse people. If he had studied with me for another year or two, he might have become the Song Dynasty version of Goebbels.
Of course, you should keep such talents around you.
"I couldn't have imagined the great victory in Liangzhou. I originally thought of plundering tens of thousands of herdsmen from Xiu Tu Ze and Bai Ting Ze to weaken the strength of the Xia army's cavalry, even if the mission was completed. I didn't expect the power of the newly built trebuchets and kerosene bombs.
So huge.”
It should be that new weapons have just come out and their immunity is relatively low. If the Song army had been burned a few more times, everyone would not have collapsed so easily.
When Zhao Si said this, he changed his previous excitement and said solemnly: "Next, we will put an end to the war between Song and Xia. At least in the next three years, the main task of the Song Army will no longer be
Instead of attacking, we should mobilize the Hexi states to the west of Liangzhou and at the same time prepare for the Xia army's counterattack and plunder."
Speaking of this, Zhao Si said word by word: "So, the Secretariat must grasp this tone. The coordination between the propaganda mouth, the Privy Council, the Minister and other departments must grasp the proportion. The so-called pursuit of victory must be carried out to destroy Xia in one fell swoop.
Kill your arrogant thoughts! This is the most important thing!"
"According to the order!" Cai Bian and Changsun Moli responded quickly.
Changsun Moli has long been used to it, but Cai Bian is not used to it yet.
Because Zhao Si’s attitude toward the secretary-general is to just give orders, execute those who understand, and strive to understand those who don’t understand during execution.
It is completely different from the attitude towards the three provinces, six ministries and the Privy Council.
"The officials, officials Cao, Yu Dajian, and officials Cen have arrived." Liang Shicheng announced at the door of Chongzheng Hall.
"Call in."
After the three of them sat down, Zhao Si first informed them of the great victory in Liangzhou.
After they finished their congratulations, Zhao Si began to assign tasks.
"After the great victory in Liangzhou, Prime Minister Zhang will definitely request to hold a military parade in Kaifeng City. This is the National Day, not drinking and having fun. Cao Liulang, your police department, please clean up the ground first, so as not to show up at that time
The chaos ruined everyone's mood."
"yes."
"...Cao Liulang," Zhao seemed to suddenly remember, "Is Xing Shu still there?"
"Yes, the official is still in the No. 1 Prison in Kaifeng." Cao Duo was stunned for a moment and then replied.
"Oh..." Zhao Xi's voice was a little erratic.
Cao Duo hesitated for a moment, then his tone became very respectful, "Please Rong Chen, please go and ask."
Zhao Si waved his hand and continued the topic just now.
"With the great victory in Liangzhou, all kinds of insects hidden underground will come out to find out the news. Huatian, Xuanming, you should pay more attention."
"According to the decree."
"Also, the intelligence work in Xixia and Beiliao must be intensified. After the war is over, how the victory can be turned into real political results depends on the next work. Intelligence is crucial. Mengzi,
Master, your burden is very heavy."
"According to the decree."
Another report came from the palace gate.
"The officials, Prime Minister Zhang, and Prime Minister Wen Shu have arrived."
"Please come in quickly."
