Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 225 You are also nepotism
The emperor actually agreed to King Qi's ridiculous suggestion, and the ministers were not surprised.

Because from the troops Zhao Kuangyin sent to Zhao Dezhao, we can see his judgment on whether the matter will succeed.

500 troops!You can't even cross the border.

Not to mention going deep behind enemy lines to burn enemy food.

It is estimated that this is a perfunctory attempt by the Holy Majesty King Qi.

Otherwise, so what, after all, he is his own child. If he doesn’t give him face, why should he wait for someone to give him face?

That's all for the neutral ministers, and those from the Jin Dynasty are not optimistic about Zhao Dezhao's ideas at all.

He still pretended to keep it a secret, what kind of dispersal of the court, leaving only the third-rank ministers.

As for your stinky idea, the seventh-rank officials are afraid that they will scoff at it.Let’s not talk about burning food, let’s talk about your Shuiluo City first, whether you can keep it for a month.

Within a month, if the city is destroyed, not only Zhao Yuanzuo, but also Gao Huaide and others will all fall.

The Weizhou Mansion could not be kept. At that time, the Northern Han army marched straight in, not only feeding the whole country of the Northern Han Dynasty, but also opening the door to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Khitan was still ready to move...

Seeing this, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help shivering.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't trust Zhao Dezhao, otherwise he would be in trouble.

He thinks that Shuiluo City won't be able to hold on for long, and will be captured soon. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin will still have to go on a personal conquest, and he must try his best to retain those civil and military personnel of his own department.

Let them preserve their strength, once the front line can't stand it anymore.He could wait for the opportunity to regain the military power of those Jiedu envoys, together with the strength of the Xiang army, defeat the Khitan in one fell swoop and ascend to the Great Treasure.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhao Kuangyin asked everyone to disperse, and took Zhao Dezhao back to the palace.

Zhao Guangyi looked at their backs, full of jealousy.

The father and son returned to Funing Palace, Zhao Kuangyin walked in front and went straight to the back courtyard.

Zhao Dezhao understood immediately.

When he came to the weapon rack, Zhao Kuangyin picked up his favorite eyebrow-level stick with gold lacquer and iron head, flipped his feet, and kicked the other long stick to his son.

Zhao Dezhao caught it steadily, Qiqi set up a door, and the battle began.

In Guoshumen, there has been a saying since ancient times that "the stick is the ancestor of a hundred soldiers".

Add the spearhead to become a spear, and the Ange blade becomes a spurge.

Adding a horizontal bar is a crutch, filling in a chain is a chain stick...

Ever-changing machines come out, and the changes are endless.

It is not only the most primitive weapon, but also can evolve into the most complex equipment.

So both father and son like this weapon as a handy weapon.

If you are familiar with the stick method, you can also understand the usage of spears, halberds, kidnappers and other weapons at the same time.

This is in line with the inclusive ideas and styles of the upper class.

The two fought heartily for a while. Although Zhao Dezhao still blocked more and counterattacked less, he was able to barely parry after all, and occasionally even counterattacked a little.

With Zhao Kuangyin's last move, he backed off and knocked Zhao Dezhao on the head falsely, which counted as winning the round.Throwing down the stick, the father and son laughed happily.

"Not bad! I have made great progress, and it seems that I have worked hard at ordinary times."

Zhao Kuangyin played happily and was also very happy with his son's progress.

"Where! It's still too far behind you. At your age, you can still play so fast and accurately. My son is far behind. But father, your health has improved a lot compared to before."

"Well! I recently listened to your advice to eat more vegetarian food! The Queen also helps supervise my diet, which is indeed very good for my body."

"By the way, Dezhao! Your cudgel skills have improved a lot, but why is there no improvement in your military skills? Today in the court, I also blocked a lot of guns, and I still have no scruples in speaking."

"Father! My son sometimes does it on purpose. He wants to cultivate some arrogance. In addition, it can save others the trouble of coming to me to discuss the current situation."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, he knew that there must be a reason for his son to do so.

It turned out that it was to show that he was unique and different, but it was not in a normal state, so that others would think that he was too fanatical and dare not come to him for research and discussion.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't want to get into it.

"However, you directly recommended your own subordinates in front of everyone today, which is a big taboo of cronyism. I have repeatedly asked ministers to recommend themselves or recommend themselves, but you are completely impolite."

"Well...actually..." Zhao Dezhao laughed, looking a little embarrassed.

"Father! Of course, when you encounter good things, you should let your own people come first. This is called seizing opportunities and grabbing the market. It can't be regarded as nepotism. If this is nepotism, you are actually the same."

"I still know my people. I know that he will definitely be able to complete this matter. Naturally, I don't want to let outsiders take the credit for destroying the enemy's country."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled wryly, his son's words were true, for him, before the crown prince was established, the people in the court seemed enemies but not friends, so it was understandable to do so.

"You are so sure, do you really think you are very sure?"

"Father!" Zhao Dezhao immediately stood up and solemnly said, "This is a matter of great Song Dynasty. I dare not speak nonsense. I don't dare to say it casually without absolute certainty."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, then Fang said, "I believe you this time, but I'm afraid that 500 people will not change. It's not that I don't support you, do you know what I mean?"

Zhao Dezhao murmured, "Father's intention, is it not: go alone and go deep into the enemy's rear, the most important thing is the speed of the soldiers, the smaller the number, the safer. If the speed cannot be increased, it will attract a large number of enemies. In fact, 500 people and 5000 people There is no difference, and they will all be filled in the enemy's big pit for nothing."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded in satisfaction, "That's right! That's exactly what I mean. If this battle was fought 20 years ago when the world was not yet won, I would have the same idea if I fought this battle. As long as the soldiers are strong and brave enough, 500 people are enough, and the possibility of success will be greater than sending 5000 people.”

"However, these are just ideas. No one can tell the real battle situation, so you have to be prepared. If you succeed in this battle, I will remember your great achievements. But if you fail, I can only go to the army to solve the war in the Northern Han Dynasty. "

"At that time, you will stay in the city and guard the capital, and you will not make mistakes!"

"My son...obey the order!"

Zhao Dezhao immediately bowed down and led the decree.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and nodded, very satisfied.

But Zhao Dezhao was the most satisfied. He knew that once his father said this, he had already recognized him as the crown prince.

With Zhao Kuangyin's prudence and meticulousness, if he didn't pay attention to him as the prince, he would definitely say that you should stay and help your uncle well, otherwise you will argue with him and fight privately.

Since Zhao Guangyi was not mentioned at all, the prince in Zhao Kuangyin's heart is ready to come out.It's no doubt about myself.

"Father! My son promises to win this battle! Don't worry!"
