Chapter 65: Bronze and Starlight

Han Xizai's eyes when he looked at Su Chen changed slightly, and he secretly felt that this young man's gaze was lofty, young, and he had not entered the court, but he could make such a bold inference just by guessing, he was indeed a talent!

"Then why didn't the emperor of the Song State continue to use troops to the north, continue the policy of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, and use troops against the Liao State, the current reigning emperor of the Liao State is a faint monarch!"

Su Chen shook his head and said: "Although the reigning emperor of the Liao State is mediocre, the current strength of the Song State is not strong enough, there have been rebellions of the Zhaoyi Army Li Yun and Huainan Li Chongjin, the two Later Zhou generals, the Song Army has been pacified, there has been a lot of loss, the internal situation is unstable, he does not dare to easily fight a tough battle against Liao!" Second, if the Song Dynasty fought a decisive battle against Liao, it would be difficult to ensure that these separatist princes in the south would attack and attack. The third is that Zhao Kuangyin once tried to attack the Northern Han, but he was unsuccessful, and he couldn't even take the Northern Han, and he was even more uncertain to forcibly fight the Khitan Liao State behind the Northern Han, so he chose the strategy of "easy first and then difficult"; Seeking progress in stability is far more profitable and more rewarding than taking a risk! ”

After Han Xizai heard this, he felt that it made a lot of sense, and Su Chen's analysis was reasonable.

However, whether it is true or not, Han Xizai still needs to make further analysis based on the intelligence information sent back from Jingchu in the west, otherwise, these remarks of the two at the moment are just talk on paper after all.

"Su Chen, tell you the truth, in terms of governing the country and stabilizing the country, how do you think of His Majesty the Tang State in Jinling City and the Emperor of the Song State in Bianliang City?" Han Xizai slowly asked this sentence, in fact, this is also a question that has been bothering him for a long time.

On the question of whether to continue to be a leader, Han Xizai has hesitated for a long time, Xu Kai went to Runzhou City to visit him, and has brought a message from Li Yu, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hoping that Han Xizai can return to Jinling City, continue to be an official, assist the government, revitalize Jiangnan, and govern the world and the people.

But Han Xizai is old, his heart for meritorious deeds is gradually thin, he is weak, he can't see the hope of the Northern Expedition, and he was determined to help the Tang State unify the Central Plains and save the people from fire and water.

His current mood is contradictory, he wants to continue to go out of the mountain, help the decadence of the Tang Kingdom, and protect the country and the people, but he feels that it is of little significance, and it is difficult to make any improvement; This kind of contradictory mood tormented Han Xizai, and also made him more enthusiastic about appreciating singing and dancing, having fun, and escaping from reality every day.

Han Xizai asked Su Chen, but he was also asking himself, listening to the external echo of his inner voice.

Su Chen was surprised when he heard this, thinking that the comparison between Li Yu and Zhao Kuangyin's ability to be a king was not at the same rank at all, it was simply the same: a stubborn bronze, a supreme star!

If it weren't for Zhao Kuangyin's sudden death at the age of fifty, it would have been possible to impact the strongest king!

It's a pity that Zhao Guangyi, who is in the "platinum" rank, ascended the throne, and when the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs took him to fly in the early Song Dynasty, he was barely blessed to the "diamond" level, and he was destined to not be able to go to the stars.

Of course, if it is more than the level of writing words, then Li Yu is definitely in the Xingyao rank, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Chengwen Qu Star is in the lower realm!

But these theories, Su Chen can't say it, and he is talking about it behind his back, but it's a bit rebellious!

Even if there are no outsiders, Su Chen doesn't want to comment recklessly, that's not something he can take out to comment, he still has this self-knowledge!

Even if Han Xizai can trust Su Chen, Su Chen can't trust the other party a little!

"I don't know much about Your Majesty in the Tang Dynasty, and I really don't know how to evaluate it, but I heard that Your Majesty is outstanding in literature and benevolent in character, and does not have the slightest bad deeds and notoriety, but enjoys the reputation of benevolence and righteousness among the people. If there is no external invasion in the future, then the Tang State will be able to remain stable. Su Chen only picked out some good things to say.

What he said is actually the only advantage of Li Yu's governance, soft-hearted, soft-hearted, good literature, this kind of person as an emperor, in the prosperous era, can definitely make the court stable, the people happy, and peaceful. Because he does not die of tyranny, nor does he inspire local uprisings, it is easy to keep the balance and rise to peace.

However, once there is an external force to intrude, then this kind of emperor, without responsibility and courage, will not be able to defend it at all!

After Han Xizai heard this, he was slightly disappointed, he didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear from Su Chen's mouth. Although he already had an opinion in his heart, he didn't ask for teaching at all, but just wanted to confirm the thoughts buried in his heart through the mouth of outsiders.

However, what Su Chen said was subtle and tactful, but it also expressed a layer of meaning, once a strong enemy invaded from outside, it would be very dangerous, which coincided with Han Xizai's worries.

Just when the atmosphere between the two was silent, the door was pushed open, and Han Yunpeng came back again, and said with a smile: "Dad, how is your condition, it doesn't continue to be serious, right?" ”

Han Xizai coughed dryly and snorted lightly: "You can't hope that your father will be better!" ”

"As long as it doesn't continue to get serious, it will get better a little bit, Dad, I also care about you; I am so sad that I don't understand my son like this! Han Yunpeng looked aggrieved.

"Don't be poor!" Han Xizai stopped his verbal rambling and said: "Su Gongzi is only two years older than you, but he is talented, has excellent medical skills, and is steady. ”

Han Yunpeng said: "Dad, the child knows that when I see Brother Su Chen, I also feel very cordial, just like my brother." ”

When Su Chen heard this, he was quite satisfied with Han Yunpeng's "courteous and hospitable" character.

Han Xizai nodded, and said to his youngest son: "Then act as the father, thank Su Gongzi for his life, and personally send Su Gongzi out of the house by the way." ”

Han Yunpeng nodded obediently, and said: "Dad, Brother Su saved your life, and became good friends with the child at first sight, the child plans to take Brother Su to the wine shop today to have a good meal and be entertained, in order to show my sincerity and gratitude to Hanfu, please give me a few hundred taels of silver......

When Su Chen heard the previous words, he still felt that this Han Yunpeng was very sensible, he knew the overall situation, and he had just met him, so he was so polite and respectful, and now he finally understood that he was holding back his friendship and begging for money!

"A few hundred taels?" Han Xizai glared at his youngest son, and he was not calm again.

Han Yunpeng smiled and said, "Five hundred taels will do!" ”

"Get out!" Han Hee-jae became furious.

Han Yunpeng continued: "Three hundred taels is fine! ”

"Nope!"

"One hundred taels, it can't be less, even if we are bitter, we can't be bitter!" Han Yunpeng tried his best to fight for it.

"......" Su Chen was quite speechless on the side, this is under the guise of entertaining "Engong", defrauding his own father's money!

In the end, Han Xizai took two silver collars from a sandalwood box next to the pillow and threw them to Han Yunpeng, each about fifty taels, the father and son's bargaining was over, and Han Yunpeng happily took Su Chen out of the mansion.
