But suddenly, Wu Zhi felt a sudden pain in his calf.
His legs buckled and he almost fell to the ground.
Wu Zhi just wanted to turn around to see which ignorant guy was causing trouble for him.
In his ears, Zhao Ji's voice was full of anger.
"Wu Aiqing, what were you doing just now?"
When Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Ji who was sitting on the dragon chair, he immediately felt that he was extremely embarrassed.
In my head, thoughts were racing rapidly.
He is not stupid, and he will definitely not reveal his true thoughts just now.
But if we don’t tell the truth, what kind of remarks should we make at this moment to deal with the situation before us?
Wu Zhi, who was extremely anxious in his heart, did not expect that at this moment, he would actually show some flexibility.
Wu Zhi's face became stern, and then he became upright, looked at Zhao Ji with a firm face, and said loudly:
"I would like to inform the officials. After careful consideration just now, I have finally come up with the most reasonable response plan to this matter. I hope the officials will adopt it as appropriate."
At this time, Zhao Ji had a confused expression on his face.
After being stunned for a moment, he frowned and said to Wu Zhi:
"But just now, I haven't told you which thing I want you to help analyze?
How did you come up with a solution?"
At this moment, Wu Zhi blinked his eyes tightly several times and swallowed secretly.
I also felt a little panicked in my heart.
But he immediately thought of what Eunuch Sheng said to him before his arrival, so he immediately replied:
"Reporting to the official family, in fact, before Wei Chen came, the chamberlain, Eunuch Sheng, had already told Wei Chen what had happened in the past few days in the court."
"That's why Wei Chen was able to think of a countermeasure in such a short period of time."
After Wu Zhi said this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but think to myself, before the court was over, I couldn't look at that little girl again.
Otherwise, if he lets her disturb his mind again, he will be in trouble.
After Zhao Ji listened to Wu Zhi's explanation, he nodded with a look of confusion.
"Oh, in that case, please let Wu Aiqing tell the ministers what he is thinking."
Wu Zhi saluted Zhao Ji.
"The humble minister obeys the decree."
"If we look at this matter from the perspective of a minor official, that is, we will neither accept the alliance proposal from the Jin Kingdom nor get too close to the Liao Kingdom."
"To put it simply, our Song Dynasty needs to maintain a neutral attitude on this matter."
"Imagine if our three countries were all peaceful and peaceful and would not use weapons rashly."
"Then how comfortable will the lives of the people in our three countries be?"
"After all, once a war breaks out, there will always be casualties among soldiers on both sides of the war."
The reason why Wu Zhi said this was entirely the result of his careful consideration.
Because in his opinion, the army of the Song Dynasty at this time, not to mention resisting foreign invasion, was unable to even deal with the rebels within the Song Dynasty.
Prior to this, when Tong Guan led the army in an attempt to annihilate Song Jiang's gang on Qingfeng Mountain, this was the most typical example.
Let alone go to the border and compete with the nomads who have lived on horseback for generations?
So at this time, no matter whether the Song Dynasty formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom or the Liao Kingdom.
The result is the same.
In this case, why not sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
If the Jin Kingdom gains the upper hand in the future, then the Song Dynasty will unite with the Liao Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
If the Liao Kingdom gains the upper hand in the future, then the Song Dynasty will unite with the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Liao Dynasty.
The main purpose of its strategy was that the Song Dynasty should play the role of a troublemaker in these three countries.
Whoever is weak, give him a hand.
Then use this method to buy more time for your own development.
In the end, when the Song Dynasty's national strength increased, it would then compete with the Jin and Liao Kingdoms.
Of course, these are the most core thoughts in Wu Zhi's mind.
But he couldn't tell it in public in the court.
One is because the envoys from those two countries are still here.
If he expressed his thoughts, the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom would be prepared for the Song Dynasty's move in advance.
Secondly, this strategy, even if Wu Zhi said it in public at this time, he didn't know how sure it would be passed.
After all, there are too many treacherous villains surrounding Zhao Ji.
Moreover, this Zhao Ji is still a typical soft-eared person who almost does whatever others say.
At that time, it is still unclear what decision Zhao Ji will make.
In fact, Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, quite agreed with what Wu Zhi had just said.
If it weren't for the envoys from the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty who came to make trouble with him at almost the same time, he wouldn't even have the slightest idea of the Northern Expedition.
But now, since people have made trouble at the door, Zhao Ji has no choice but to bite the bullet and summon the ministers to discuss the matter.
Zhao Ji shook his head with a worried look on his face, and then sighed inaudibly.
"Wu Aiqing, I believe that Xiao Shengzi told you everything about the situation in the court before you came here."
"And today, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are most eager to get a certain result from me."
"If this result cannot be negotiated today, then I am afraid that the people living on the border in our Song Dynasty will want and want..."
Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Ji's helpless expression, and suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart.
Think about it, Zhao Ji is also the king of a country.
At this time, he was actually embarrassed like this by the envoys of the two countries.
Does this mean that the envoys of the two countries were too strong?
I don't think so.
At best, one can only say that Zhao Ji is too soft-hearted.
Wu Zhi frowned and thought for a while.
Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Guan Jia, in fact, this matter is very easy to handle."
"After you go to court later, you can send an imperial edict to the state capitals on the border."
"As for the general content of the imperial edict, it says: No one in our territory of the Song Dynasty shall resist when they see the heavenly troops of Jin and Liao."
"When your life is in danger, all you need to do is kneel on your knees and plead with the other person piously."
"After the soldiers of Jin and Liao leave, we, the people of the Song Dynasty, still need to kowtow in the direction they left and thank them for not killing them!"
"In the two countries of Jin and Liao, wherever the heavenly soldiers pass by, all our people in the Song Dynasty must take the initiative to offer their wives and daughters for them to choose."
"In this way, within a few years, Jin and Liao will be able to feel the benevolence and righteousness of our majestic dynasty."
"When the time comes, they will naturally not be our enemies."
