To be fair, Zhao Xi felt that without the extra thousand years of experience, he would not be as good as Zong Ze.

Speaking more broadly, he dare not say that he is much smarter than others such as Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, etc.

Of course, Han Qi won’t talk about it...~

Zhao Xi's intelligence, or in other words wiseness and martial prowess, is based on his extra thousand years of experience!

Even so, Zhao Xi still marveled at Zongze's talent.

Of course, the talent shown by Zongze in this article is also biased towards the military.

Moreover, Zongze only briefly mentioned the problem of the people's support for the people in the southwest and northwest of the country, and did not elaborate on specific methods.

Even regarding the country's dependence on food transshipments from small southern countries, no solution was mentioned. It was simply an explanation of the problems that might arise during future wars.

This is an article that tends to be military-oriented...~ This is probably why Zeng Bu met with him as soon as possible after seeing him.

Although Zeng Bu was unfamiliar with the military, it didn't mean that he didn't have this vision... He still couldn't understand it after others mentioned it, so it was time for Zeng Bu to give up his position.

In fact, the records that Zhao Xi left in the martial arts hall over the years were not only read through by the cabinet and important officials of the imperial court, but also by some capable scholars.

Moreover, what Zhao Xi didn't know was that the reason Zongze was able to write such an article was because he was fortunate enough to have seen Zhao Xi's recorded fragments...in the northwest.

The records about military affairs that Zhao Xi taught in the martial arts hall are now the holy scriptures of military generals in the country. Just like literati read the classics and history collections, military generals with a certain status are studying official records.

It was also because of this that Zongze was lucky enough to see official records when he visited a military general of the rural party in the northwest, and he wrote this article when he was traveling close to Bianliang.

It doesn't matter, anyway, after Zhao Xi read Zongze's article, he became very interested in this traveling scholar who had not yet taken the major exam.

Zhao Xi also temporarily forgot the unbearable pain in his heart.

Just after he asked the King of Kings to deal with Tong Guan and Li Yan, he once thought about letting the Fourth Prince's team go north from Liaohe via Goryeo to kill all the Jurchens who are still in the wilderness...

If the Fourth Prince's team enters the Liaohe River, not to mention the disapproval of Goryeo... I guess everyone knows about the fake road to conquer Guo.

Even if Goryeo agreed, it is hard to say how Beiliao would react.

Not to mention that the Liaodong area is under the jurisdiction of Bei Liao, even the Jurchens, Bei Liao also think that they are their prey... The annual Jurchen hunting can be regarded as a way for Bei Liao to train their troops.

Maybe when the Fourth Prince's team goes north, the Northern Liao will go to war against the Song Dynasty... Zhao Xi is too used to being ready, or he is a bit perfectionistic.

The main reason was that they lacked confidence in the ministers and workers of the country and did not dare to overestimate the confidence of the Song Dynasty in the Northern Liao campaign.

Sliding along the palace wall, Zhao Xi also felt that he was a little nervous.

This happened in later generations, but now, with the increasing strength of the country, the sophistication of armaments, the improvement of the soldiers' combat capabilities, etc., even if it really cannot change the historical trajectory, the Jurchens will definitely be defeated when they fight against the Song Dynasty.

The country was beaten.

I really think too much...

"Daddy...~"

In view of his father's bad mood yesterday, the prince did not go to Qinzheng Palace to observe the regular cabinet discussions early in the morning, but came to pay his respects to his father first.

But daddy seems to be fine... The prince also knows that daddy has a strong ability to adjust.

However, it was fine after one night, which meant that it was not a big deal.

"Oh... I also asked Zhongzheng to call you. It's just the right time... Here is an article for you to read..."

Zhao Xi asked the internal supervisor to hand Zongze’s article to the prince...~

Zongze wrote tens of thousands of words eloquently, but he also put his heart into it.

It is estimated that it will take a certain amount of time for the prince to read through and deeply understand this article.

Zhao Xi originally wanted the prince to take it back to see him, but when he saw that the prince did not leave, he didn't say anything.

The prince came early in the morning to pay his respects because his father was unhappy. He was handed an article and thought that what happened yesterday was related to this article.

How dare he leave...~ He thought he needed to avoid the cabinet.

Seeing the prince reading an article here, Zhao Xi was busy with the memorial... Although the prince handled the government affairs on his behalf, there were still many memorials that required Zhao Xi to make decisions every day.

This is a rule. Even if the prince's abilities are not bad, both the cabinet and the prince will consciously submit important memorials to the officials... unless the prince is supervising the country.

"Daddy..."

"Oh...have you finished reading? Tell me what you think?"

Nowadays, whether it's the cabinet's handling of the matter or the prince's handling, there are very few things that make Zhao Xi dissatisfied... and it's nothing major.

Zhao Xi handled these memorials very easily. He just reviewed the paintings and stamps, and his thoughts were not interrupted by the prince.

In other words, Zhao Xi has been following the prince to read this article.

"Dad, I think this article has something to say. It can be said that every word is precise and precise..."

"This article was written by a traveling scholar and was intended to be published in the Jingzhao Mansion Arrival Newspaper. Zeng Bu withheld it and presented it to me..."

"Dad, this article must not be published. The child thinks that once this article is published, the anti-DPRK forces in Northern Liao, Southwest, Northwest and other places will definitely understand the situation. Even before the imperial court is fully prepared, they will collude with each other.

Start the war in advance!"

Not to mention what Zongze wrote in his article, the prince is now very involved in the affairs of the state and knows the current top priorities of the state.

The imperial court was planning the Northern Liao Dynasty with a comprehensive plan. Once this article was issued, the results would definitely deviate from the direction and even catch the imperial court by surprise.

"The internal reference needs to be reviewed, and Zeng Bu stopped it. Of course, Jingzhao Mansion also reported the article to the internal reference because they were alert..."

"Dad, who wrote this article? Has the Jingzhao Mansion recommended this person? Or is this person under their custody?"

The prince's words made Zhao Xi stunned for a moment. However, if there was no impression of Zongze in later generations, Zhao Xi would have asked for quick custody and brought him to Bianliang as soon as he saw this article.

"This person's name is Zongze, and his courtesy name is Rulin. He is from Wuzhou and is currently traveling to study. The specific situation has not been reported."

"Please follow up on this matter and contact Zeng Bu. I think you should meet this person... I think this person can be a minister of Gu Gong!"

"Also, I will go back to the meeting hall in a while and take this article with me so that the cabinet can take a look."

Zhao Xi's handling of Zongze yesterday was somewhat out of line due to his own emotions.

Zhao Xi only realized this when the prince mentioned custody.

He didn't care, and didn't praise the prince for his thoughtfulness, so he just left it to the prince to deal with it.

Regardless of whether Zongze is a great talent or not, he probably won't be able to use it himself.
