After saying that, Emperor Ningzong calmed down a little, and then shouted: "Bold Xin Ran, what do you want to do? Who are you the son of? Who ordered you to come here? Hurry up and play from the truth, otherwise I will punish you heavily." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After listening to the emperor's question, Xin Ran stood up from the kneeling ground unhurriedly, and then bowed deeply to Emperor Ningzong, and said: "Grass people Xin Ran, my father Xin abandoned his illness, and he trespassed in tonight without the emperor's summons, and I hope the emperor will forgive his sins." ”

Emperor Ningzong heard Xin Ran's answer, and immediately said: "It turned out to be Xin Qiji's son, when your father passed away, I had specially issued a decree to commend his life's merits, and I also admired his statecraft, but unfortunately when he called your father back to the court, he unfortunately died early, every time I think of this, I am also very sorry, the court has been missing a pillar since then, tonight I am in the study, is reciting your father's "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin" , The meaning is not very clear, it just so happens that you appeared, you are the son of Xin Aiqing, and you have been following your father's side for a long time, and you are very familiar with the meaning of this "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin", why don't you tell me about it. ”

Xin Ran heard the emperor say this, which was exactly what he wanted, so he said: "The grass people obey the order, this "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin" grass people did listen to other people's talks many times before his father's death, and just now His Majesty and the grass people recited successively are the general preface of the "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin", and the essence of the meaning that the late father wants to express is also in it;

In the first half of this general preface, the meaning of the father is that we must plan everything in advance and think carefully, so the court and the people of the world must always think in their hearts about how to recover the northern territory of the Great Song Dynasty occupied by the Jin people, and the hometown of the late father is in Jinan, and he has enjoyed the imperial grace of the Great Song Dynasty for generations, and later because of the Jin soldiers, the northern territory fell, because there are many clansmen, and they cannot move south together, so they must not be held hostage by the Jin people, and do the official position of the Jin people, but they are still concerned about the homeland, so after the next dynasty, they often go to discuss national affairs with their families and like-minded friends, thinking that as soon as there is a chance, I will break away from the control of the Jin State and go to serve my Great Song Dynasty;

Later, the gold lord Wanyan Liang led the Jin soldiers to invade the south, and the people in the north of the Great Song Dynasty really rose up to resist, and the father and General Geng Jing called on hundreds of thousands of righteous people, echoing with the imperial court, but this matter was later betrayed by the treacherous, General Geng Jing was unfortunately killed, and the success was successful, but those who did not know anything about politics and military affairs misguided people thought that victory could not be maintained and thought that it was a scourge, and these unenlightened and unreliable people were a big evil, and we should learn from it! Therefore, the late father believed in the article that the recovery of the Central Plains must have a careful plan, and do not care about the victory or defeat of the first battle and the gain or loss of a city. The ancients also said that no one should give up his ideals and pursuits because of the slightest setback or difficulty at present. ”

After saying this, Xin Ran then said to Emperor Ningzong: "As for the meaning of the second half of the recitation just now, the grass people are trying to say that I, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, are smart and heroic, and you also have your own unique views on the current situation, that is, the wisdom of Emperor Guangwu, and Tang Xianzong's courage is not as good as that of the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! Although his father was from a humble background and did not have any great ability, but out of loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, his father combined what he saw and heard outside and wrote ten essays with all his heart, which was called "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin". This "Ten Treatises" is divided into ten chapters. Three of them are to analyze the shortcomings and weaknesses of the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty; the other seven articles are written about the measures we should take in view of the current situation, that is, the Great Song Dynasty court should first observe the overall situation, understand the enemy's situation in detail, and then observe its changing characteristics, so that we can know the situation of the enemy country well, and then flexibly use the strategies in the Ten Treatises to defeat the Jin State and recover the homeland.

And as long as His Majesty the Emperor sees it and implements it immediately, the opportunity that my father said will definitely be preempted by my Great Song Dynasty, and I hope Your Majesty will not be confused by everyone's discussions. Once the grand ambition of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is realized, His Majesty the Emperor's holy name will not be inferior to that of Tang Taizong. Therefore, the first father took the liberty to offer his own opinion, even if he committed the great crime of trespassing, but the delicious celery of the first father, a man from the mountains and wilderness, was dedicated to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he hoped that His Majesty the emperor could sincerely accept it. Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive me for my arrogance, and for the sake of my faithfulness, to critically accept my advice, and my father will feel extremely honored!"

After listening to Xin Ran's discussion of his father's discussion in "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin", Emperor Ningzong said: "Aiqing has really obtained the true biography of Ling Zun, and can combine the meaning of the text with reality, and explain it so thoroughly in simple terms, although I have read this article many times, but today I can truly understand your father's loyalty and patriotism expressed in this article." ”

"Since Your Majesty has such respect for the articles of the father of the grass people, I don't know if Your Majesty can follow the strategy of your father, stay away from the villain, reuse the virtuous ministers, be diligent in political affairs, and strive to restore the great rivers and mountains of our Great Song Dynasty in the Central Plains as soon as possible;

Emperor Ningzong said to Xin Ran: " Since I inherited the throne, I first restored Yue Fei's reputation, named him King Wumu, and treated his descendants well; took back all the praises awarded by the imperial court to Qin Hui, and severely punished Qin Hui's remnants; reused the main battle faction headed by Lord Han, and actively prepared for the Northern Expedition, but Lord Han made a mistake in command, and used people improperly, not only did not recover an inch of land, but lost part of the country, so the Northern Expedition failed, and I had no choice but to let Shi Miyuan preside over the peace meeting, and I also lost this Shi Miyuan from it, otherwise the two countries of Jin and Song are now peaceful, and there is no military disaster in this world, and the people can live with peace of mindTherefore, this Northern Expedition is a major matter related to the security of the country and the stability of the people, and there is no need to rush for a while, so I think it is better to stop for the time being, and then talk about it when there is a favorable opportunity in the future. ”
