Chapter 450: Moving South 3
The little emperor Zhao Chen sat on the dragon chair like a puppet, the queen mother Zhu Lian behind the jade curtain and the five auxiliary ministers had their own hearts, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little tense, but it was suffocating. "Words * love * first * hair [Fengyun Novel Reading Network baoliny]
"Ladies and gentlemen, the mourning family is a woman's family, they don't understand national affairs, and the court depends on you to weigh it, but Wang Qing's family advocates patrolling the southeast and discussing it." Zhu Lian finally spoke.
Wang Xiu heard Zhu Lian speak, and couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling that the politics of the Great Song Dynasty were a little pedantic, yesterday's own Zazi, Sun Fu, Tang Ge and other important ministers of the two prefectures all knew their meaning, who opposed and who agreed, everyone knew it, but they still had to get a high-sounding court discussion.
"The minister thinks that what Lord Wang said about patrolling the southeast is inappropriate."
Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, he knew that no matter whether he moved the capital or toured the fortification, he would be opposed by those gentlemen. However, to his surprise, the first to stand up was not Sun Fu, let alone Tang Ge, but Zhang Shuye.
Uncle Zhang didn't look at Wang Xiu at night, and said loudly, "Now that the major events are decided, all industries are waiting for innovation, and all the subjects of the world are looking forward to the imperial court." The minister thought that the overall situation should be stabilized, and invited the nine kings to return to Beijing. At this time, patrolling the southeast will inevitably make the local guards uneasy about their positions, and the people will not be able to settle down. What's more, Kaifeng is the ancient capital of a hundred years, the foundation of the country, how can there be a place in the world that can Kaifeng city strong"
It must be said that what Zhang Shuye said is reasonable and well-founded, since the founding of Taizu, in order to prevent the local secession of the late Tang Dynasty, the five seasons of the countries attacked each other, and demolished the cities and customs throughout the country. For example, only four strong cities remained in the whole of Sichuan, and although many cities were built in the southeast during the Fangla rebellion, they were only built in a temporary and hasty manner, and they could not be compared with the large county towns in the north.
It's really a cliché Wang Xiu is extremely contemptuous of Zhang Shuye's reasons, he believes that Zhang Shuye will never refuse to move the capital on this reason, the excuse is purely an excuse for nothing to do, and his heart should have other thoughts.
Zhu Lian seemed to be a little hesitant, her eyes were tightly sprinkled on Wang Xiu's face, but she saw that Wang Xiu's expression was as usual, and she didn't have the slightest intention of going out to refute it, she really didn't know what he was thinking, and said hesitantly at the moment, "What Zhang Qingjia said is also reasonable." ”
Wang Xiu subconsciously glanced at Qin Hui, but saw that Qin Hui's eyes were looking straight ahead, and he was concentrating on studying the delicate ground pattern, and sighed helplessly, this thief bird is really slippery, and he doesn't scatter eagles if he doesn't see rabbits.
He slowly got out of class and said in a deep voice, "The minister thinks what Zhang Xianggong said is good"
When these words came out, everyone present was surprised, thinking that Wang Xiu wanted to fight with reason, no one thought that he would deny himself, it was Zhu Lian who was also surprised and speechless, and Zhang Shuye turned his face and looked at him puzzled.
But listening to Wang Xiu, he smiled indifferently and said slowly, "It's just that the minister thought that Zhang Xianggong only saw the disadvantages, but not the advantages." ”
Uncle Zhang frowned slightly, and said, "Oh, please also ask Lord Wang for advice." ”
"Don't dare." Wang Xiu said lightly, "Zhang Xianggong has been guarding the Son of Heaven for many years, and he has a wide range of knowledge, how dare he be arrogant." ”
As he spoke, his tone gradually became heavier, and he said solemnly, "Zhang Xianggong relied on the fact that Kolai Gong insisted on Kaifeng. At that time, Kou Gongli overrode public opinion and asked Emperor Zhenzong to drive back the Khitan, which must be said to be good, and the lower officials were also very impressed. However, Xiang Gong thought that in today's situation, the alliance between the north and the south with Emperor Zhenzong could be redetermined, and the imperial court was temporarily unable to recover Hebei and Hedong.
Zhang Shuye shook his head and didn't make a sound, raising millions of soldiers is an exaggeration, but he also understands that staying in Kaifeng must be guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops. Don't say that it's withering now, and the imperial court can't afford it in normal times.
He paused and argued forcefully, "As long as the decree is clear, the people of the world will inevitably return to their hearts, and what is the fear of the captives." ”
Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows, and said playfully, "Xianggong said that the two princes were not clear in their decrees, misleading the country and the people"
This big hat was smashed, Uncle Zhang rolled his eyes for a while, everyone understands how the father and son of the Zhao family are, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to say it, if it is really detained by Wang Xiu, the mad dogs of Yushitai bit indiscriminately, it is really tragic, he had to say with a toothache, "This time and that time, this, this." Reject the enemy's country, and do not have strength in Germany. ”
Bullshit in Germany, Wang Xiu had a toothache when he heard it, and he also knew that the people present, including Zhang Shuye himself, also took this as a fart, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Even if you think that this time and that time, then the lower official can only say it clearly." In the humble opinion of the following officials, the Khitan ruling Empress Dowager Xiao was very old, and her original intention of the southern invasion was not to plunder our country's land, but to take into account the strength of the imperial court, and made a desperate attempt to force the formation of a century-old alliance, so that the north and the south could truce and the people rest, and its intention was very good. Kou Gong had insight into his intentions, so he opposed the Son of Heaven's patrol, and finally became a good family in the north and south for a hundred years. ”
For Wang Xiu's opinion, the ministers present were all surprised, but Zhu Lian watched through the curtain with great interest.
"Now, the captives have gone south twice, the mountains and rivers are broken, the people's livelihood is tired, the military is weak, and the north of the river is stained with shame, which is not owned by my Han family. Although the captives retreated, the wolf's ambition and greed were insufficient, and they could go south at any time. Now the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty only has the official family and King Kang, once the city is besieged again, Zhang Xianggong can be sure to retreat from the enemy"
Zhang Shuye still refused to admit defeat, arguing, "As long as the imperial court is clear, the forbidden army is refined, and the river is guarded, why not be afraid of captive people." Although he said so, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, what Wang Xiu said was not a lie, it was only a matter of time before the Jin army went south again, which was also the consensus of the important ministers of the two governments.
However, he also has his own ideas, as long as the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty are one, diligent in government affairs, and wait for the captives to stabilize Hebei and Hedong to go south again, I believe that with more than 100,000 Jin troops, the imperial court should be able to hold on. For moving the capital, he didn't have too many opinions, and he was also very much in favor of avoiding the edge, but he recalled Sun Fu's words in his ears, and Kaifeng was the root of the Son of Heaven.
He trembled slightly, glanced at Wang Xiu inadvertently, thinking of Wang Xiu's courage and ability to break into the camp and seize the troops, and enter the bloody battle, the Jurchen handsome man was helpless in laughter, holding 100,000 sharp soldiers, which made people shudder and chill. Once the Son of Heaven moves south, if Wang Xiu has different intentions, he will inevitably coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. This is what he, Sun Fu and Tang Ge are worried about, although Tang Ge doesn't look down on Sun Fu, but in this matter, he is consistent with Sun Fu.
The Great Song Dynasty court has been raising scholars for more than 100 years, treating scholars well, ruling the world with scholars, and making scholars support the Zhao family deeply into the bone marrow. The system of the imperial court is also accepted by the ministers, and anything that violates the system cannot be tolerated in their eyes. And Wang Xiu broke into the camp to seize the troops, and it is reasonable to kill the general, but now he still holds the power of the army, and the doorman is even more straightforward, no matter what, they can't accept it.
Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion is the capital city that has been in operation for more than 100 years, even though it was captured by the Jurchens, and Wang Xiu held military power, but the power of the royalist was still strong. Under the eyes of all the ministers and the people of the capital, no one dared to make too many mistakes. Once they move south and lose such a foundation, it is difficult to guarantee that Wang Xiu will do whatever he wants, and by then it will be too late, which is the fundamental reason why they oppose moving the capital.
"Guarding according to the river" Wang Xiu showed a sarcastic smile on his face, and said lightly, "Thousands of miles of river, I don't know how the Xianggong has been guarding to this day, who still thinks that the imperial court can compete with the captives in the short term"
"As long as, as long as I am the monarch and minister of the Great Song Dynasty, why not be afraid of the Tartars." Uncle Zhang didn't believe in competing with the Jurchens at all, but there were some things he couldn't help but say.
"I admire the princess, but the cliché is self-defeating. The captives enter the palace, the mother and the official family go out of the palace, who convinces the people with virtue and the monarch and the minister, how can he lose the flesh and blood of Kaifeng City, how can he compete with the armor and cavalry" Wang Xiu smiled sarcastically at the corner of his mouth.
Don't say that Zhu Lian's mother and son were killed, hundreds of officials and people were helpless, just talking about two major battles, the northern forbidden army was basically lost, only Shaanxi Sixth Road retained a considerable number of troops, and then Zhao Gou's generalissimo mansion, his more than 100,000 troops still have combat effectiveness, and the southeast forbidden army can not have illusions at any time.
The Western Army also had to guard against the party's peeping into Hengshan, and it could not be mobilized in a hurry. Zhao Gou's soldiers and horses are too few, and self-protection is still insufficient, so how to talk about war, he is the only one who can fight against the Jin army in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and he has indeed achieved a partial victory.
Although Wang Xiu's victory saved the world, a talented minister, who achieved such prestige and held the fate of the entire Great Song Dynasty, could not help but feel uneasy about the loyal minister of the Zhao family.
"Lord Wang's words are serious" Sun Fu was very dissatisfied when he saw Wang Xiu's sharp words, and went out of the class, "My lord is also a disciple of Confucius, and he reads the book of sages. Although the captives are savage, we can follow the way of the saints and perceive them with propriety and righteousness. ”
Wang Xiu felt ridiculous and a little pitiful about Sun Fu's pedantry, this kind of person is indeed loyal to the country, but often state affairs are also corrupted in them, empty talk misleads the country, scholarly opinions, sour and unpleasant, he looked at Sun Fu coldly, and the corners of his mouth were still full of ironic smiles.
Sun Fu unintentionally looked at Wang Xiu, that playful expression, his heart trembled, as if he had thought of something, his old face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't say it anymore, that smile made people think of the unbearable past.
"Lord Wang, if the captives come again, what's the use of moving the capital?" Tang Ge said coldly.
"Xianggong, it's not moving the capital, it's the Son of Heaven."
