Chapter 641
Emperor Zhao Xu was so excited that he spoke a little, and he kept talking to Queen Meng beside him, and his cheeks were red with excitement.
Seeing Zhao Xu like this, Empress Meng took a step back and then slowly bowed. "I congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate Your Majesty..."
"Zi Tong, get up quickly. Fortunately, I can share this good news with you, otherwise I will have less fun." Zhao Xu was stunned at first, then moved quickly forward, and gently helped the confidant queen and smiled.
"I will definitely let all the civil and military officials of the court feel this news tomorrow. Mr. Wushan is indeed my blessing star. No, Mr. Wushan should be my blessing star in the Song Dynasty."
Empress Meng, beside her, turned her bright eyes and whispered softly in Zhao Xu's ear. "Your Majesty, the next day is New Year's Day, which is the day when you will be in charge of your reign. Otherwise, this news will be made public for the next day?"
Zhao Xu was stunned, then he understood Queen Meng's thoughts, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. "This..."
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Xu said softly to Empress Meng. "What Zi Tong said is reasonable, but tomorrow morning, I will discuss it when I meet the emperor and grandmother..."
"Well, Your Majesty is right." After Empress Meng nodded slightly, her eyes fell on the messenger and the eunuch standing in front.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never reveal a word or a word." The eunuch didn't understand anything and quickly assured Zhao Xu loudly.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. "You guy, that's fine. I don't want this good news to be leaked in advance. Please step back first..."

However, after the eunuch and the messenger left, Zhao Xu was not sleepy at all, and carefully appreciated the thick news with Empress Meng.
I watched with joy and praised it all the time. It was not until the sky was getting darker, and then I glanced at Empress Meng for a while.

"This is the last time the Ai family has gotten up so early. From now on, the Ai family has taken off their burden..." Sitting in front of the dressing table, the palace maid behind him put on a light makeup. Looking at his face full of wrinkles and no longer young, Gao Taotao couldn't help but sigh and said with some emotion.
"What the Empress said? The country and country of Song Dynasty still need to be mentioned from the side by the old and stern person..." Xu Degong beside him quickly spoke.
"You, do you still think the Ai family is not worried enough?" Gao Taotao naturally understood what the confidant eunuch around him was thinking. He smiled and pointed Xu Degong's name.
Gao Taotao's eyes fell into the distance. "When the previous emperor was alive, the Ai family promised the previous emperor to watch the country and country of the Song Dynasty for him.
But the Ai family is just guarding him and the official family. The world will eventually be handed over to the official family. The emperor today is no longer as frivolous as before. Otherwise, how could the Ai family dare to let go so boldly?"
As we were talking here, we saw a eunuch hurriedly stepping into the hall. "Empress, your Majesty and the Empress are here..."
"Why did they come so early?" Gao Taotao looked at the sky and couldn't help but say in confusion. "Let them come in."
"Grandmother of the Emperor, there is good news, very exciting news..." Soon, Zhao Xu and Empress Meng entered the house and greeted the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, Zhao Xu couldn't wait to speak.
"Oh? I wonder what good news the official family is saying, but it actually makes you so over-looking?" Gao Taotao raised and waved away the attendant beside him, leaving only Xu Degong beside him.
"You should read it yourself, the emperor's grandmother. This was sent to the palace in the middle of the night yesterday. It was a good news sent from Shaanxi Road." Zhao Xu took two steps forward, took out the good news from his sleeve, and handed it to Gao Taotao.
"Will you win Xixia for another time? Hiss..." Gao Taotao opened the good news while speaking, but when he saw the first page, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Xu Degong, who was standing behind him, suddenly had his eyes wide open.
After seeing this good news, Gao Taotao took a long time to calm down his excitement. "This, this is too incredible. Why does the Ai family feel that this time when I am against Xixia in the Song Dynasty, it seems that Xixia is simply vulnerable.
Previously, our Song Dynasty surrounded and suppressed 60,000 elite troops, captured the Empress Dowager and more than a dozen important officials. This time, the Prime Minister of Xixia led a 100,000 army to surrender, and even took back the Yanzhou..."
Seeing Gao Taotao's shocked look, Zhao Xu smiled. "So, my grandson felt that Wang Wushan is worthy of being the lucky star of my Song Dynasty. The battle in Hongde Village was that he proposed that he personally came to the battle formation and built a defense line in the south of Hongde Village, which eventually led to a great victory in the Song Dynasty."
"And this time, it was him who proposed to surrender the prime minister of the Western Xia Kingdom, Liang Yibu, but he really made it happen. Moreover, Liang Yibu not only led a 100,000 army to surrender to our Song Dynasty, but also contributed Hongzhou and Youzhou, which had been lost to our Song Dynasty for a hundred years."
"This kid, he is not afraid that his appetite will be choked." Gao Taotao shook his head in disbelief. "Even if the great victory of Hongdezhai is invincible, he will now win Yanzhou again. He said that he will surrender to the Prime Minister of Xixia, and he will surrender 100,000 soldiers, and will also receive hundreds of miles of Youzhou and Hongzhou."
"Yes, I just awarded Wang Wushan a marquis. Now it seems that even if I was a young man, even if I was a Duke, I think no one would dare to say anything, right?" Zhao Xu said with a look of silence.
"As the good news said, Wang Wushan is indeed the most meritorious minister... Alas, I'm afraid it will cause headaches for the civil and military officials in the court again." Gao Taotao thought of the crooked appearance of the old party bosses when he discussed the merits for Wang Wushan, and couldn't help but smile.
"Haha, why is my grandson just happy?" Zhao Xu laughed and said with a frown.
Gao Taotao looked at the emperor who had not completely removed his youthful character, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and rub his eyebrows, then folded his forehead lightly. "Ai family is so happy that they are almost confused. The official family, this good news, those who know... "
"You are the third person to know except for the messenger and the eunuch who accompanied the messenger last night..." Speaking of this, Zhao Xu's eyes fell on Xu Degong.
But now, this Chief Manager Xu only stands aside with a smile, looking deaf and dumb.
Gao Taotao narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice. "The Ai family has an idea. Otherwise, let's take this good news from the official family for a day, and the Ai family will pretend that they have not seen this good news yet, how about it?"
