Chapter 289
Once the most important issue of succession has been decided, the next etiquette is simpler. Warat is not far from the city, and at this time, it is necessary to prepare for the enthronement ceremony with excellence, which is purely a matter of priority. Whether it was King Yu or Xu Xun, they didn't find fault with the ceremony arrangement, but just nodded along with the ministers' discussions. Anyway, the votes have been handed over, and the people who support the king in the palace today will not stumble on him in any case, but will consciously unite around him, forming a close interest group, excluding all those who have doubts about the legitimacy of the king's accession to the throne. Naturally, it is impossible to play any tricks on the emperor's enthronement ceremony.
Today's deliberations after the court meeting are particularly lengthy, after agreeing on the issue of succession, the sky is almost dusk, everyone has not even eaten lunch, the whole day in the palace Q&A, although the Empress Dowager Xu Xundai gave the ministers a seat, but everyone is tired enough, on the military issues, can only be put tomorrow to discuss.
After the queen mother was dizzy, there was indeed a precursor to a stroke, and after setting the most important problem, she felt that she couldn't support it, and she had already gone out of the Wenhua Palace in advance, and the small court meeting in the afternoon was presided over by Xu Xun and the mother and son of the king of Yu, but there was not much time to speak, and most of the time was for the ministers to discuss etiquette. Now that the meeting is over, King Yu naturally followed Xu Xun back to Qing'an Palace - there is no need to avoid anything at this time, although the Queen Mother still lives in Qingning Palace, but the master of the palace has quietly changed.
The mother and son are opposite, they are both a little excited and at a loss, the throne of the dynasty has changed masters in such a short period of time, such a drastic change, who is on it, no one will inevitably faint.
"Mother." King Yu wanted to bow down, but Xu Xun stopped him, so he no longer insisted, but sat down beside Xu Xun, and asked a little confusedly, "Right now...... What to do? β
is scheming, there is a city government, and he is not educated by the emperor, and the current state of King Yu is better than that of the queen mother and concubine who have just come into contact with political affairs, after all, he still has a complete scholarly education, so that he will not be read in the four books and five classics. However, his rustiness with political affairs is not inferior to Xu Xun and the Queen Mother back then, to put it bluntly, if he didn't have a fief in the first place, and he wouldn't have the ability to run at all, he might not have taken over the throne like a hot potato. After all, the problems you have to face after sitting on it are really extremely tricky.
The exhausting conflicts and turmoil in the past few days are just the beginning of the whole thing, and the successful ascension to the throne is not helpful for the current situation hundreds of miles away, what to do now, King Yu must have no bottom in his heart, if he can come up with a complete set of countermeasures when he just changed his identity, does he need Xu Xun to strengthen his confidence before he dares to speak?
Xu Xun watched King Yu grow up, and naturally knew more about his character, King Yu had thoughts, but maybe he was inferior to his life experience, not the kind of character who was full of words, and his personality was generally speaking, and he was a little weak in his kindness, so he said that he had several conflicts with himself, and finally he took the initiative to make concessions to adjust the relationship. Although Xu Xun's own approach is not excessive, it can be seen that King Yu is not a tough and rigid faction. Now that he has ascended the throne at a glance, the court must be facing two differences of opinion on moving the capital and resisting, Xu Xun can hardly imagine that he will strengthen his confidence in an instant, and then lead the army and the people to defeat Wara wisely, this kind of talent is not possessed by the previous emperor, there is no reason why King Yu will suddenly have a big transformation.
Judging from the worry in his expression, the threats of the ministers in the court made him a little frightened. It's not that King Yu is very bold, it's just that he knows almost nothing about the military affairs of the country, and it is normal for people to be afraid of ignorance.
"It's a bit tricky right now." She comforted King Yu, "But it has not reached the point of destroying the country and destroying the species-Emperor Wen is about to break the foundation of the Mongols, and it has only been twenty years, even if the mandate of heaven returns, twenty years is not enough to support the national strength at all." Warat does have some advantages, but after all, there are few people, just like a strong man breaking into a mansion to rob, it is naturally okay to grab a handful and leave, but if you want to stay and fight against the guest, he will definitely not be able to do it alone. Even with the national strength of the Liao State, the Lanyuan Alliance did not have the intention of destroying the Song Dynasty at that time, so how could Warat and the Liao State be compared? And my country's dynasty and Song Dynasty, I don't know how strong the national strength is! β
The king of the servant still reacted quickly. "What does my mother mean, is she unwilling to move the capital?"
Xu Xun did not deny that she did feel that the reaction to moving the capital was a bit excessive, although she could not solve the current crisis faced by the Beijing Division, but the disadvantages of moving the capital were obvious.
"Go and get the world's public opinion map." She commanded the maid.
The map of the world's public opinion was quickly sent to the desk - this is still an old thing left over from Xu Xun's observation of politics back then, that is, because of the recent tensions, it was taken out again and looked at at any time. Xu Xun pointed to the map, "Now Warat is staying in Huailai, Xuanfu and Datong have not been beaten down, they are now going straight to the capital, one is rich and rich in Beijing, and the other is from the map, after entering the Kou Jingshi, the supply line of Xuanfu and Datong will be completely cut off, and after losing supplies, the two cities will not be able to hold on, and the north will be the world of the Warat people." β
Her explanation was concise and easy to understand, and King Yu obviously had similar considerations, and he nodded again and again when he heard this, "Yes, once the order to move the capital is ordered, it is equivalent to giving up half of the country." β
Hebei is a thousand miles of plains, there is no danger to defend, Wara is now straight into the middle, once the Beijing division falls, you can expand to the left and right, whether it is arable land or pasture, there is everything, and once the dynasty loses the north, it will suddenly become the Southern Song Dynasty like no danger to defend the situation, and the fall will only be a matter of time. Xu Xundao, "Generally speaking, the northerners of all dynasties have a much greater chance of winning the northern expedition than the southerners......
King Yu is now a little bit of a person thinking about the emperor, such a large piece of land to give up to others, no one will be willing to give it up, he has a look of pain on his face, and hesitated, "But now Wara has just got a large amount of baggage, like a tiger with wings, it can already support long-term battles......"
"This is a bad word," Xu Xun hadn't spoken yet, and Han Nushi couldn't help but interject beside herβshe used to be a teacher of the King of Songs, and now she was in front of him, and her status was higher than others. "In the world, how many percent can the three battalions occupy? Although the Chinese army has fallen, there is no more than one out of ten, but the troops from all over the country are still there, and two to three months are enough to gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to enter the king of Jingqin, and the whole Wara clan is only hundreds of thousands. β
Xu Xun cast an approving glance at Han Nushi, "Not to mention that the long-term line will be defeated, just say that this batch of baggage, yes, the Chinese army's baggage, it should be half cheaper than Thailand, and even some rewards for the soldiers after the victory...... However, because of this, the current Wara has been very full, from the Han Dynasty to the present, since the barbarian invasion, all in the name of the grass valley, the grass valley is to survive the winter. The weather there was bitter cold, lack of food and clothing, so the militia was one, and all the men who were grazing could shoot arrows and fight, and plunder with the leader entering the pass. But it is precisely because of this that the generals of Warat, it is impossible to be like a finger, they must take care of the needs of all tribes, now that they have money and food, the barbarians are stupid, burning, killing and looting, they will not deliberately leave vehicles, and the property that can be transported back to their tents is at most so much. The more than 100,000 people who entered the Kou this time are almost full, right? In addition to Yexian, who else is ambitious and must occupy the Central Plains to feel at ease? If you fight any further, you won't be able to carry away the extra possessions, but the head that falls off is your own. β
King Yu is not stupid, just ignorant, listening to Xu Xun popularize some common sense, he is also thoughtful, "In this case, Warat will definitely not be able to hold on for too long, as long as it snows and winters, the danger of the capital can be solved?" β
It's August now, it's still Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are still two months to go until winter, and Xu Xun feels that Warat can't hold on for even two months. "The barbarians have never been good at attacking cities, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow in the capital, as long as they can withstand the first half a month, they can't attack quickly, considering that the army of King Qin is already on the way, it will be difficult to maintain the heart of the Wara army. This time they are making a lot of money, even if they can't capture the capital, it will not damage the prestige of the first, I don't think they will fight to the death, if they can't attack, they should shift the target, maybe to fight Datong, Xuanfu, maybe just withdraw outside the Guan. As long as you can hold the capital and resist the initial wave of attacks, the most difficult level should pass. β
This analysis does not have any empty words of Wang Shi's might, but is really analyzed from the perspective of Wara's interests, and then there is a similar example of the Yuanyuan Alliance for comparison with King Yu, after some thought, King Yu also agreed with Xu Xun's opinion, "Yes, if it weren't for my brother's ......."
He stumbled, but still said firmly, "It is too frivolous and stupid, the march is like child's play, and it is impossible for Wara to break through the Huailai so easily, and even Datong may not be defeated." This time, he didn't even expect the progress, he was not ready to swallow the Northland at all, and grabbing this was almost enough...... Fighting the capital is an addition, and if you can't fight, you won't be in love. As long as it can survive the initial wave of offensives, the overall situation in the north will not be completely subverted. β
The basic position is unified, and there is still the question of how to resist the initial and certainly the most violent offensive of Warat.
"The capital is the majestic city of the world," Xu Xun's attitude towards this is cautiously optimistic, "The tiger is in Youyan, the wall is high and the gun is sharp, the battle of Jingyan can stop Li Jinglong's 130,000 army attacking the city, and then when the capital is moved, it will be built many times, as long as it can be guarded by a good minister, it will not be too difficult to block the offensive of Wara, right?" β
"But the generals who can be used in Beijing have all been brought to Hebei." King Yu was a little hesitant, "I am not familiar with the personnel of the DPRK and China, who is available, and who is a 'talent' like Li Jinglong?" β
Naturally, he turned his eyes for help to Xu Xun.
"Ninety percent of the names I am familiar with have gone to Hebei." Xu Xun said truthfully, seeing that King Yu was suddenly a little depressed, he couldn't help laughing, "But this matter is very easy to solve - tomorrow's court meeting, naturally to discuss the military, you listen to the ministers who support the relocation of the capital, who advocates staying behind, and then go to the master of ceremonies Jin Ying, Xing'an, Dongchang Liu Zhien to come, and discuss with them, from the ministers who support the left-behind ministers, choose a virtuous and talented enough to serve the public, come out to preside over the war, isn't it?" These chamberlains know more about the affairs of the court than the two of us. β
While speaking, he also secretly called luck in his heart - if it wasn't for the arrangement of the Empress Dowager before her death, how could she be so calm and unhurried at this time? I'm afraid that I have already become a mess with King Yu, and it is likely that even the orthodoxy who won the throne will not fight desperately...... I don't know if when the Empress Dowager made the decision, she never thought that one day, Jingzhong would face such a situation, and even her last insurance was used.
"Won't my mother go to court with me tomorrow?" When King Yu heard Xu Xun's tone, he was stunned, and his uneasiness resurfaced. "But if you don't come, I-"
Xu Xun hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "The national dynasty has no curtain to listen to the government, and this precedent cannot be opened here for me." Besides, I don't know much, I can't help you anything, this matter of government is complicated and complicated, simple and simple, you are so smart, you must be able to get started in just a few days. β
Seeing that King Yu was going to argue about something, she said again, "Zhuang'er, you have to remember that you are not the crown prince after all, and I am not the queen mother...... Many things that we cannot fail to be extra careful. β
King Yu was slightly stunned and said solemnly, "My son knows." β
and showed a little admiration, "But my mother can't help but let go - without you holding the strings, my son's heart is not stable." β
Xu Xun thought of the many thorny issues that she hadn't had time to discuss at all, and they were also the first two big, and she was also worried about whether the king could handle it, but she said, "Why am I in charge?" It's nothing more than to help you check and fill in the gaps, and when this difficulty is over, you still have to rely on yourself - don't worry, even your brother can be safe and sound, as long as you don't kill yourself like him, that is, the emperor, can't you still be it? β
Thinking about the road ahead, Wang Xun couldn't help but show a little uneasiness, Xu Xun only looked at it coldly, but he no longer said anything to comfort or promise.
Even if it is the biological mother and son, there are still enemies in front of the imperial power, many things, rather than waiting for the incident to regret it, it is better to prevent it from the beginning and nip the heart disease in the bud.
