Chapter 262: Memory Study (2)

As the emperor of a country, he should naturally have his own ideas for governing the country, rather than following the crowd.

It would be naΓ―ve for him to pin his hopes for the salvation of the country on the leader of the enemy.

Anyone who has read "Jin History" knows that Wanyan Abaoji, Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Wushu and others are all bloodthirsty fanatics, and they will not negotiate conditions with the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty at all, and they have always advocated that whoever has a hard fist is the boss.

Under this guiding ideology, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty had no way out at all, and could only passively accept the enemy's arrangement.

"Waiting for him to come, maybe not a good thing." I remind tactfully.

"The peoples of the north are just to be fed and clothed to withstand the winter of lack of food and clothing. We will pour all we into the treasury to meet their demands, and they will stop making trouble. He said.

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, if the northern peoples just wanted something, they didn't have to mobilize their troops to fight the Yellow River, but only one battle table was enough. Since they have already arrived in the city, what they want is not a little something, but all of the Central Plains.

"You're wrong, this time, they want all of you." I could only wake him up unceremoniously.

"No way, no way, I know him." He shook his head vigorously.

I can only smile bitterly at his stubbornness.

In the wars of history, even if all the common people have understood the severity of the situation, the emperor who lives in the imperial city will still live in a dream, only willing to get drunk for a long time and not wake up.

Dreams always wake up, and when the invading army kicks open the gate of the palace, waiting for the emperor in front of him is only the tragic fate of wagging his tail and begging for mercy and sitting in the well to watch the sky.

Even if I sympathize with him, it is unlikely that I will change this history.

"What else can I do for you?" I'm a little concerned.

"Be a witness for me." He said.

"What testimony?" I heard the sound of the strings.

"My future – my future is not here, but in the far east, on that island surrounded by water. Do you know? That's where I really belong......" He clenched his fists, and suddenly two patches of blood appeared on his pale face, burning his cheekbones red.

"Island?" I asked.

"The sea is full of angry waves, higher than the seven-zhang building ship, why is this happening? It was a big explosion, a huge explosion, and the stones that fell from the sky caused a big explosion, and all the people died, and the whole city died, and then all the cities lowered their flags, and the whole country fell down...... I have never seen that kind of stone, but some people say that anyone who sees a stone will die, and the stone carries a 'dead light'. I won't die here, and I won't die there...... I am immortal, I am immortal, and one day, I will be able to stand on the highest place and accept the worship of all...... The people who bounced the lute, and countless others like her, were like the scene seen in the bronze mirror, and everyone's movements were left and right...... "The more he spoke, the more excited he became, sweeping away his previous malaise.

The term "island explosion" may refer to *, as it was the only nuclear explosion in the Pacific Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean is large, but it cannot afford to be polluted by a nuclear bomb. At the end of World War II, the Pacific Rim countries were too busy to protect themselves and could not care about the problem of nuclear contamination, so they allowed the United States to take extreme actions to destroy the enemy in a devastating way.

If that incident were to be put in the context of modern warfare, then countries large and small would rather suffer the humiliation of their own country than agree with the United States to do so.

I listened quietly to the other person's whispering, and the clues in my mind were rapidly reconstructing, until a group of people suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and I suddenly woke up from the contemplation.

"Here they come, here they come." The people around him screamed in panic.

There were seven people in the courtyard, six of them carried a short knife in one hand, a dog's head shield in the other, and the other was dressed in black cowhide soft armor, with their hands behind their backs, and their expressions were extremely arrogant.

"You help me, help me out...... Deal with ......" The people around him were so anxious that they couldn't speak.

I let out a long sigh, didn't answer, and walked straight out.

"I'm coming, get down on your knees and surrender." The black-armored man said with a stinging voice, looking up at the sky, nostrils facing me.

The man was unusually strong, and was no more than thirty years old. Therefore, I can judge that he cannot be the supreme leader of the northern nations. Moreover, according to common sense, the first group to enter the city was only the vanguard army, and it could not be the commander of the Chinese army, let alone the supreme leader.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Don't ask, get on your knees." The black-armored man shouted arrogantly.

I didn't take these seven people seriously, and if I fought by force, they couldn't be my opponents.

"I want to see your Supreme Leader." I say.

"The king of the dead country, you are also worthy?" The black-armored man sneered.

I didn't care about his attitude, I still repeated: "I want to see your leader." ”

"Bold, take itβ€”" The black-armored man waved.

He gave the order, and six men swarmed up, but fell down together.

The northern peoples are good at horse warfare and group combat, but they lack training in individual combat. Therefore, they only have the upper hand in momentum, and they actually fight each other, and they are vulnerable.

"Take me to the leader." I looked at the black-armored man calmly.

His arrogance was immediately extinguished: "The leader is coming soon, already on the way." ”

I nodded quietly: "Okay, then I'll wait, you drag them out of the yard first." ”

As long as human beings exist, rivers and lakes will exist, and battles will exist. Moreover, from ancient times to modern times, the thinking of all wicked people has not changed much, and they are all bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and bluffing.

On Hong Kong Island, I have experienced too many such scenes, and violence or conversation alone cannot solve the problem, only a moderate amount of violence, an attitude that is neither humble nor arrogant, and the wisdom of taking a holistic view can resolve the crisis.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the black armor man panted and dragged the six followers out of the courtyard, not daring to come back.

"Hey, will they come back when they're gone?" The cowardly emperor stood behind the door of the imperial study and called me softly.

I nodded, waved lightly, and motioned for him not to come out.

A cowardly man cannot be a politician, and the leaders of the allies during World War II were all hardliners, and in the face of the aggressive momentum of the Axis powers, they were fearless at all, and finally turned the tide of the war, from defeat to victory, and overturned Germany, Italy, and Japan to the ground.

In a big country, if even the people who sit on the emperor's throne suffer from hypochondriasis, how can the country stand up?

Footsteps sounded again outside the courtyard, and this time only one man entered, about fifty years old, with no armor on his body, only a short coarse cloth robe, and a short straight-handled knife pinned to his waist.

This man's eyes were extremely bright, shining brightly.

"Your Excellency, please?" He entered the courtyard, stood still in front of me, and politely bowed his hand.

I returned the salute and did not speak.

"Who is Your Excellency? The spies said that the people around the emperor of the Song Dynasty had run away, and all the palace maids and chamberlains had fled the city in disguise. Your Excellency is not a guard, not a general defending the city, not a close relative of the royal family, not a ranger...... So, who is Your Excellency? Where did it come from? Where to go? Why? What do you want? "The short-robed man asked five questions in a row, all of which were the ultimate propositions in philosophy.

I nodded again: "The news from the spies is very correct, this city is indeed empty. ”

The so-called "empty" does not only refer to the defenders and the people, but to the "hearts of the people".

The emperor that the people don't want to follow is already an "empty emperor", and the city that the people don't want to defend is already an "empty city".

Even if I am a citizen of this city, I am probably tired and disappointed with such an emperor and such a dynasty, and I can't wait for a Ming monarch to be born as soon as possible, change the dynasty, and create a new world and a new country.

"yes, it's empty. But here, Your Excellency, why do I suddenly feel that there is another force in this city that cannot be underestimated? He said with a frown.

"I'm actually just a passerby, stopping by chance, and I don't care about the outcome of the war." I say.

This is the truth, when the two countries are at war, the victory or defeat of either side has nothing to do with me.

"You are here, it is providence." The short-robed man said.

I couldn't go on and try to get my mind back to the original point of view – "Why?" ”

"If you have a fate to meet Your Excellency, why don't you go to the camp outside my city, and we will drink and talk and talk freely?" The short-robed man sincerely invited.

"No, no." Before I could reply, the Emperor stepped out of the imperial study, stood on the steps, and waved his hand repeatedly.

"That's the real Emperor of the Song Kingdom." The short-robed man laughed, "Three years ago, I went into the capital to watch fireworks, and I had already seen him in the crowd. At that time I said, 'He can take his place,' and now the results of the war have indeed confirmed that. He is useless, virtuous and incompetent to exalt the throne, and he can indeed replace him, hahahaha......"

In war, the arrogance of the victor is indeed unimaginable to future generations.

The concept of "equality of all peoples and equality of all beings" does not exist here at all, and there is only the only criterion of "success and defeat".

"This is my palace, and I am the only one who has the final say." The Emperor's voice trembled slightly.

The short-robed man waved his hand: "Wrong, it's true that this is the palace, but in my eyes, it's not as good as my wild mountains and meadows." Your so-called carved beams and paintings are nothing more than chicken coops and cowsheds in my eyes. The reason why I didn't order someone to rush in and burn this place is because I watched the sky at night, and there was the Emperor Star of the True Son of Heaven sweeping between the bulls. I am afraid that the war will alarm the Emperor Star, so I order people to die down and not act rashly. ”

Speaking of the Emperor, the short-robed man turned to me and bowed his hand to me again.

"I only then understood the celestial phenomena, and I knew what the future would hold." The emperor raised his voice, but he lacked confidence, and he was strong on the outside and dry in the middle.

"What happened?" The short-robed man asked.

"King Wen is imprisoned in the palace to create gossip, and I can also be in one place and foresee the future." The Emperor replied.

I sighed in my heart, "sitting in a well and watching the sky" is indeed a good way to observe the heavens and know the future. Imprisoned in that kind of place, there is no other way to kill time than to "watch the sky".

"Really?" The short-robed man sneered.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh, the Five Kingdoms City in your northern land is the most suitable place to watch the celestial phenomena. Hehe, it's a pity, you northern peoples are short-sighted, where do you understand the mysteries of celestial phenomena? The Emperor shook his head and sneered.

The short-robed man laughed: "We don't understand celestial phenomena, you know." We know how to cross the Yellow River with strong soldiers and horses, but you don't understand. Understand or not, don't care how much, only care about whether it is useful or not, don't you? ”

This is the truth, the emperor can't refute it, so he has to blush and bow his head.

If the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty "sat in the well and watched the sky" in the northern city of the Five Kingdoms in order to observe the celestial phenomena, then this fate does not seem to be tragic, but an alternative pursuit, which does not need to be sympathetic, but worthy of praise by historians.

In historical records, Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty was free and intelligent, and as long as he saw any art category a few times, he could imitate it completely, without any difference.

Because of this, his attainments in calligraphy and painting will be outstanding, crowned among all emperors, and he also created the thin gold calligraphy, which has been used to this day.

There is no record in history that he has the ability to "watch the stars", but the historian is not omnipotent, and it is inevitable that he will miss everything.
