Chapter 167: The Vortex of Political Struggle 4

There is no absolute person, only a reason, the alliance with the Jurchens and the attack on the Khitan are definitely a move to seek skin with the tiger, he knows the historical context very well, but he can't intervene, change, do things beyond his ability, that person is not for some kind of benefit, that must be a fool, at least Wang Xiu thinks so. 『』

"The North-South Alliance has been good for nearly 100 years, the soldiers don't know the blade, the farmers don't add service, the Han and Tang Dynasties and Yidi are not as good as the court's Huairou strategy, the old lady doesn't agree with the alliance Jurchen, why did he suddenly change his mind? The ominous weapon of the soldier should not be used as a last resort. In that year, the Khitan invaded the south, and Emperor Zhenzong used the strategy of Kou Gong to personally conquer, and finally sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and the two sides strictly abided by the covenant from then on. Zheng Juzhong's mouth was like a river, and the saliva he said was flying, and his face was flushed.

"During the Qingli period, the imperial court was in the middle of the war in the northwest, and the Khitan gathered troops in the country, seeking the name of Guannan, and Emperor Renzong sent the rich prince to the north, only adding 100,000 years old, and eliminating a big war. Looking at the meaning of the two Daxing emperors, they were worried that the war would make the people miserable, so they adhered to the covenant, and for 14 years now, the world has gradually become peaceful, and the north and the south do not know the sword soldiers. Xianggong suddenly changed his mind and supported the official family to break the contract, I am afraid that it will attract the wrath of the people and the resentment. The way of using soldiers, the outcome is unpredictable, even if the battle is won, the treasury will be empty because of the reward, and the people will be embarrassed by the service. ”

Wang Xiu agrees with most of Zheng Juzhong's views from the bottom of his heart, you are allied with the Jurchens, isn't this seeking skin with the tiger? However, there are some points of view that he cannot agree with, and the alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan is not a mechanical observance of the covenant.

In the thirty-ninth year of the alliance, didn't the Khitan take advantage of the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty to raise troops again to blackmail money, grain and land?

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, the Khitan cannot be a permanent ally of the Great Song Dynasty, nor can the Jurchens, the North-South Covenant can only be established on the balance of power, and the Jurchens who cross the sea to form an alliance must also be based on deterrence, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.

To put it bluntly, there is nothing wrong with forming an alliance with the Jurdan to destroy the Khitan, and it is okay to stick to the covenant and even resist the Khitan, the key depends on the trade-off of interests. Today, the Great Song Dynasty can no longer be compared with the era of Taizu and Taizong, and the Jurchen Khitan can only be bored, on the contrary, it can support the weakened Khitan and become the barrier of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the most in line with the current interests.

That is, think about it, his status is low, even if he says it, few people really pay attention to it, Cai Jing can't go in and listen, and Zheng Juzhong can't do it.

But I heard Cai Jing say lightly: "Duff also said that in the thirty-ninth year of the alliance, the Khitan took advantage of the fire to rob, and it had already become a defeated alliance, what kind of alliance did the court still adhere to, and the official family hated 500,000 years old, so they had the idea of ending it once and for all." ”

Zheng Juzhong swallowed his saliva fiercely and said sharply: "Han Wu used 190 million yuan to conquer the Xiongnu at a time, and it cost 400 million to conquer Dawan; During the Yongping period of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people rebelled for 14 years, and the Han court spent seven years before and after, spending 80 trillion yuan to suppress it, and the court used only 500,000 gold to save tens of millions of money every year, so why not. ”

Cai Jing's face became embarrassed, he couldn't find an allusion to refute Zheng Juzhong, and said very bluntly: "The official family is determined, and it is not for you and me to stop it." ”

"If you form an alliance with the Jurchens, it will make millions of people lose their livers and brains, this is Cai Gong's decision today, I don't know how Cai Gong plans to repay it in the future?" Zheng Juzhong glared at Cai Jing hatefully, and rushed away angrily.

Speaking of which, Wang Xiu does not fully agree with Zheng Juzhong's argument, you compromise deliberately, but it is by no means a turtle blindly avoiding, everything has a critical point, compromise is to better solve the incident, not hello, me, everyone is good.

However, he still admires this person, a person who climbed into the relationship with Empress Zheng by recognizing his relatives, and plotted Cai Jing's second reappearance to suppress Zhao Tingzhi, so as to step by step to the two mansions, and even did his best for the affairs of the family and the country.

"Wenshi, what do you think?" Cai Jing watched Zheng Juzhong go out of Donghua Gate, and then slowly took steps.

"The younger generation really doesn't know." Wang Xiu followed Cai Jing, he had to be very cautious, Cai Jing was an old fox, don't be fooled by him to sell it, since Zhao Ji liked him Shang Mao De Emperor, although he tried his best to get rid of it, Cai Jing's attitude towards him was more vigilant.

Cai Jing's eyes swept over Wang Xiu, smiled faintly, and said, "It's just about things, don't hide your secrets." ”

Wang Xiu smiled awkwardly and said softly: "The younger generation is short-sighted, and they don't dare to make irresponsible remarks on major affairs in the imperial court. ”

"As a matter of knowledge, the old man originally didn't approve of forming an alliance with the Jurchens, but there are some things that I can't control." Cai Jing let out a long sigh.

Wang Xiu knows Cai Jing very well, and he knows the pattern of the court at a glance, Zhao Ji firmly controls the supreme power, and he is a monarch who is very happy, and the two prerequisites determine a qiē, you are a god and can't control Zhao Ji's preferences, Zhao Guanjia wants to be the hero who recovers the thirteen states of Jibei and completes the unfinished business of Taizu and Taizong.

"Xianggong, in fact, national affairs and doing business are the same thing, it is nothing more than the size of the matter. Doing any business depends on how much it costs, how much risk it has, how much capital you have, how much risk you can bear, and finally calculates the equilibrium line of your cost and profit. If you can reach this limit and restrain it, then this business will make a steady profit, if the capital is not enough or the greed is insufficient, beyond the peak of this limit, then wait for the loss or even no return! ”

"You have a point, let's elaborate on it."

Wang Xiu nodded and said: "No need to buy and sell for example, just now Zheng Xianggong said that Han Wu and the Xiongnu, as Han Wu to fight the Xiongnu is right, he ensured that the inland counties will not be lost, but the population of the sea was halved in the three wars, the treasury was empty, and finally had to make an edict against himself, which is a typical lack of greed, beyond the apex." ”

"For example, the younger generation will make another analogy, after the hard work of Emperor Wenjing and the Second Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the country is in its heyday, but no matter how rich a country is, it is impossible to do whatever it wants. This determined that when he implemented the strategy of attacking the Xiongnu, he needed to formulate an offensive apex, when to destroy the withering and decaying and move forward firmly, and when to consolidate the achievements and turn to pacification, all of which needed to be carefully drilled, and by no means relying on temporary blood. ”

Wang Xiuna made an analogy with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and said what he thought in his heart, which can be regarded as having a clear conscience, and said: "From the raid on the Xiongnu to the entry of troops into Qilian Mountain to recover Henan, it has caused a severe blow to the Xiongnu, the control of the Xiongnu royal court is constantly weakening, and the Han family is also exhausted. ”

"At this time, it should be to send ministers to negotiate a meeting, take the opportunity to win over the Xiongnu nobles, disintegrate their power, and slowly weaken them while restoring their own strength. When the strength is restored to a certain extent, you can choose the apex of an attack, if you can't destroy the opponent, then the cycle repeats, no more than three times, and you will definitely be able to completely eliminate the Xiongnu within the range of national strength. ”

Cai Jing was attracted as soon as he came out of Donghua Gate, and he stopped and savored it carefully, while Wang Xiu waited on the side.

"You're talking about a limit to everything?"

"Exactly."

"The official family is determined to form an alliance with the Jurchens to recover Jibei, what does Wen Shi think?" Cai Jing's face was very solemn, and his tone almost put Wang Xiu in the same position as the two mansions.

Wang Xiu smiled very vigilantly, shook his head and said, "Xianggong, the younger generation only talks about Han Wu, and they don't dare to make irresponsible remarks about military affairs.

Cai Jing stared at Wang Xiu with a pair of old eyes for five or six breaths, regained his turbidity again, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm tired all day, go back!" With that, he turned around and walked slowly towards his carriage, and met two servants who came to help him.

Wang Xiu watched Cai Jing's old back board the car and left, his expression was strange, although he said so much and had reservations, he might have let himself fall into a senseless dispute, but he did not regret it, if he was wise enough to protect himself in this dispute, he didn't ask anything, he didn't do anything, and he would definitely not be able to forgive himself afterwards.

Since he has expressed his views implicitly, and has also conveyed the correct strategy through Cai Jing, whether he can attract the attention of the imperial court is not within his ability, and there is no way to say a word: the accumulation of qualifications is not enough!

Forget it, he didn't have the heart to go to the office, so he simply took off his laziness and went to the branch to see what Wen Xijun had arranged? This girl's enthusiasm is not ordinarily high.

Just when Wang Xiu was busy, Zhao Huan returned to the East Palace angrily, facing the prince with a bad face, the palace people obediently lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to make any moves, so as not to be used by the prince as a gas bucket, and they didn't even cry.

"Official, what's the matter?" Zhu Lian was talking to his cousin Zhu Xuan, but he didn't expect Zhao Huan to come back angrily.

Zhao Huan sat down angrily, took the tea and drank it all, and said, "The demon road is rampant, but unfortunately I can't go back to the sky." ”

"Could it be Lin Lingsu's spell?" Zhu Lian knew that the prince kept meeting with monks, and today he gathered more than 20 monks to fight the method, which seems to have failed.

Zhao Heng looked at Zhu Lian with complicated eyes, and said coldly: "What the lady said is good, that Penglai Sanxian is really a delicate character on all sides. ”

mentioned Wang Xiu, Zhu Lian's beautiful eyes flashed, and he said absentmindedly: "I don't know why the officials are so angry?" ”

Zhao Huan drank tea and was in a calm mood, and said a lot about today's events, and when he arrived at the wonderful place, Zhu Xuan said in surprise: "Is there really such a magical spell?" ”

"It's sorcery, hexism." Zhao Heng glared at Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Xuan was frightened and hurriedly stopped, and obediently stepped aside, he married into the East Palace earlier, he knew Zhao Huan's temper well, he was usually gentle, but it was best to avoid it when he was angry.

Zhu Lian quietly listened to Zhao Heng's complaints, but smiled faintly.

"The lady still has the heart to laugh?" Zhao Heng was very displeased, but Zhu Lian was the new crown princess, and he had to give some face.

"It seems that the concubine is right, Wang Zhige will never be in the same stream with the demon road, and there is a deep truth of trade-offs." Zhu Lian said lightly.
