Seeing that Zhao Liang had been silent after listening to Kou Zhun's words, She Saihua said: "Wang Qinruo's is clearly whimsical. Surrendering the Central Plains region to the Liao State is tantamount to growing the enemy. Every day passes, people become stronger, and we are weaker, and at the same time, we completely give up the strategic initiative, and every day we have to guard against the Khitan army moving south. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" The little prince said angrily: "It's not such a lure to lure the enemy in-depth!" Once the two banks of the Yellow River fall into the hands of the enemy, and if you want to have any barriers, only the Yangtze River will remain, which is not equivalent to losing half of the country and ruling the river with the Liao State? ”

Kou Zhun smiled bitterly: "At least Wang Qinruo is still thinking about the counterattack, Chen Yaosuo is even more exaggerated, and he simply wants the emperor to hide in Bashu, and from then on he will be in a safe corner." ”

"Traitor! This is definitely a traitor! Old Mrs. She scolded angrily, and the crutches in her hand poked the ground again and again.

Seeing this, the little prince hurriedly comforted: "Grandma, it's useless for you to get angry, let's dissipate your anger first." This body has just seen a little better, don't be angry again. ”

Zhao Liang sighed and suddenly said: "High, really high!" ”

A few people in the room didn't know why, so they hurriedly asked him what "high" he was? Zhao Liang smiled: "I mean, this Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo are really clever. ”

The little prince was stunned when he heard this: "Huh? Brother Wang, you're not talking back, are you? How can you still grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige? What is so clever about those two soft eggs who are greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

Kou Zhun knew that Zhao Liang had something to say, so he stopped the little prince: "Your Highness, don't worry, listen to Lin'anhou's analysis first." ”

Zhao Liang smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Think about it, why are the words of those two traitors more effective in front of the emperor than what you say?" ”

"Why?" The little prince said curiously.

"Because they have penetrated His Majesty's heart." Zhao Liang said: "The emperor is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, as well as likes and dislikes. Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo only made good use of His Majesty's psychology, which would have a huge effect. ”

Kou Zhun listened with great curiosity: "Oh? The key to this is to ask Master Hou for advice. ”

Zhao Liang waved his hand: "Actually, it's very simple to say. As long as he is a person, he cannot escape being swayed by two things, one is desire and the other is fear. I think it's the same with our Majesty. However, he is already the Ninety-Five Emperor and owns the whole world, so his desire is also more advanced than ours, which is nothing more than immortality or fame in history. But on the other hand, he naturally fears a lot more than us. As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, and that's what we say. Think about it, is Your Majesty more afraid of death, or is it a single person who has nothing more afraid of death? ”

The little prince was happy when he heard this: "Then you still need to say?" A single person is cheap, of course, he is more open-minded. ”

"So, Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo are really smart." Zhao Liang said: "What do you tell Your Majesty about the morale of the army, morale, and the battle situation, you don't hit the point at all." If it is placed in peacetime, these words may still have some effect, because after all, the frontier war thousands of miles away has nothing to do with the emperor. But in the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to do it, and there is only one reason, that is, no matter what it is, it is not more important than his own personal safety. ”

"It makes sense, it makes sense!" Kou Zhun couldn't help but nod after hearing this: "Actually, you really can't blame Your Majesty completely." For example, the old man, when he and the dog are at home discussing the classics, they are always free and calm, but when it comes to the articles I have written, I do not tolerate any doubts and accusations. Among them, it is nothing more than whether it is related to the personal nature of the mind. Even if His Majesty goes to Lianghuai or Bashu, he can still be the emperor, but he lost the battle and was surrounded by the Liao army in Kaifeng, which is at stake. For that reason alone, he would never want to listen to us. ”

The little prince understood: "So, we used the wrong force before?" ”

Zhao Liang nodded: "I think this should be the reason." The two of you habitually equate the state with Your Majesty, and regard the monarch and the world as one. However, Chen Yaosu and they know to look at the country and His Majesty separately. So on the surface, both sides are talking about the strategy of the imperial court, but there are differences only from different angles, but in essence, people are thinking about the emperor personally, so it is naturally easier to get His Majesty's approval. ”

She Saihua is old and refined, and immediately agreed: "I think what Lin'anhou said is reasonable." As the saying goes: The emperor's mind is as deep as the sea, and we can't drill the horns. Since Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo know how to play tricks, we can also prescribe the right medicine. ”

Kou Zhun pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "The old man has thought of it!" ”

The little prince was suddenly curious: "What did Master Kou think, tell me about it!" ”

Kou Zhun smiled and said: "Your Majesty cherishes his life, but he also cherishes his name, especially the name of benevolence and filial piety in Confucianism. At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he once announced to the world that he should respect Confucianism and govern the country with benevolence and filial piety. Now that the enemy's army is pressing, the emperor can go, but the ancestors and ancestors can't escape with him. Throwing away the reputation of the ancestor is probably more scarce to Your Majesty than your life. ”

"I see!" The little prince patted his head: "You mean Taimiao?" ”

A rare evil smile appeared on Kou Zhun's face: "That's right, the temple enshrines the god seat of Emperor Taizu Taizong, and the coffin of Emperor Taizu Taizong is placed in the imperial mausoleum, how can those be easily moved?" But if you don't move away, you can't just leave it to the enemy, right? ”

The little prince said happily: "Kou Xiang, Kou Xiang, I said that you are too amazing, this trick can simply drive the imperial uncle crazy!" ”

"Your Highness, don't praise me," Kou Zhun pointed at Zhao Liang: "This is thanks to Lin Anhou's words to wake up the dreamer." ”

Zhao Liang's eyes rolled, his face was full of a narrow smile, and he said in a low voice: "I still have a trick that is even more amazing, but I don't know if you dare to try it?" ”

On the fifth watch of the next day, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military came to the palace on time and prepared to go to the court.

However, the atmosphere here today was particularly strange compared to usual, and it scared the picket envoys who were in charge of supervising the etiquette and rules so that they didn't even dare to breathe.

More than half of the courtiers and officials tied white strips of cloth to their black gauze long-winged hats, and hemp ropes were also tied around their waists, and they all wept and mourned, as if their father had died last night. The eight-thousand-year-old Zhao Ming and Lin'an Hou Zhao Liang were even more exaggerated, and the two of them simply came dressed in linen and filial piety.

A general of the Royal Forest Army was about to step forward to dissuade him, but he was almost beaten by the little prince, and suddenly no one dared to say more than half a word, so he could only watch the group of people who seemed to be out of the funeral procession, and walked straight into the court.

Chen Yaosu, Wang Qinruo and other ministers of the "capital relocation faction" were also a little baffled by the strange scene in front of them, and they didn't know what these people were doing.

But seeing the 8,000-year-old leader, he could only hold the mentality of "we can't understand, we don't dare to ask", and silently watched the excitement.

The effort was not large, and in a quiet and peaceful bell, Song Zhenzong walked into the hall with dignified steps and began today's Great Song Dynasty meeting.

However, before his ass could sit firmly, he was immediately stunned by the dejected atmosphere of the Manchao: Oh, fuck? What's going on? Why do all civil and military officials wear filial piety?

He forced himself to settle down, and after making sure that he was not dazzled, he asked blankly: "Everyone, Aiqing, I haven't burped yet, what kind of body are you dressed up like this?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the eight thousand years old leaned over to the ground and cried, and Zhao Liang also pretended to cry and wiped his tears and knelt down with the little prince. The Great Song Dynasty Tongping Zhangshi and Prime Minister Kou Zhun took the cry of the 8,000-year-old as the background music, strode forward, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are mourning. ”

"Mourning? Which one is mourning? Song Zhenzong's face was black: "I have always been healthy and alive, and there is no national mourning in the DPRK and China, where to start with mourning?" ”

Kou Zhun said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the mourning of the imperial mausoleum of the Taimiao!" The ministers are incompetent, they can't keep the dignified capital, and even the emperors and ancestors are not at peace. Lord Wang and Lord Chen suggested that they should avoid the edge of the Liao army, choose another capital, and let His Majesty and the imperial court transfer as soon as possible, then it is necessary to change the ancestral spiritual position in the Taimiao, and it is necessary to arrange large-scale relocation of tombs for Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, and the first queen mother, the first concubine, the collateral prince, and the founding heroes who are worthy of enjoying the Taimiao. Therefore, the ministers must wear linen and filial piety and mourn for three years. ”

As soon as he heard this, Song Zhenzong couldn't sit still at that time, stood up suddenly, patted the dragon case and said angrily: "Nonsense! Who said they were going to move the capital! ”

"Huh? Don't you move the capital? Kou Zhun was stunned when he heard this, and deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Is it possible to fight to the death with Liao?" ”

Song Zhenzong also understood at this time: if you really want to move the capital, you can't leave the coffin of your father and mother here, otherwise once it falls into the hands of the Khitans, you will have to be scolded to death by the world; But if you want to move the ancestral mausoleum, run away with the coffin, and spread it out, it is even more shameless, not to mention the stench for 10,000 years, at least it has to become a laughing stock for thousands of years.

So, he hurriedly said: "Hebei must not be lost!" The world must not be lost! Ancestors can't be lost! Immediately spread my will, raise the strength of the whole country, and fight with the Khitan turtle grandchildren! ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo, who were standing in the audience, were stunned on the spot: I'll go? What about the court debate? Lao Tzu prepared the information and rhetoric all night, and before he even had time to bubble up, the game was over?

But at this moment, they didn't dare to say anything anymore, because the matter of moving the grave of the first emperor was too big, and whoever touched it would die!

Seeing that the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and no one re-mentioned the proposal of moving the capital, Kou Zhun blinked at Zhao Liang on the side, and said to Song Zhenzong: "Your Majesty, since the Sacred Heart has decided to fight to the death with foreign enemies, do you want to take the opportunity of the previous dynasty to discuss countermeasures to resist the Liao State?" ”

This is very reasonable: since you plan to fight to the end, you should quickly discuss and discuss how to fight next.

Song Zhenzong sighed helplessly, the topic of today's court was originally "to move the capital or not?" Where to move the capital? "It's good now, it's a discussion of "how to fight the Khitans".

He waved his hand and said angrily: "You first quickly withdraw the white cloth strip on my head for me, I looked at it and panicked!" A group of turtle grandchildren, advising the monarch not to pay attention to a way or method, do you want to be angry? ”

Eight thousand years old took the lead in getting up, smirking while taking the lead in taking off his filial piety clothes. Seeing this, the ministers of Kou Zhun's faction also removed the white cloth strips from their hats one after another and returned to their normal state.

Song Zhenzong knew that he was being put on the spot by this group again, so he asked listlessly: "Let's talk about it, what should I do next?" ”

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, the civil and military officials immediately showed their own tricks and came up with their own plans to resist the enemy.

Some people proposed to recruit local young and strong villagers in Hebei, organize hundreds of enemy killing squads, and attack and harass the Liao army everywhere, so that the Khitan people will not be at peace for a day;

Some people proposed to immediately mobilize troops and horses from all walks of life in the south, set off by boat from Quanzhou, go north by sea, secretly land in Liaodong, attack the rear base camp of the Khitans, and force them to retreat.

Some people also pointed out that I heard that the barbarian rattan armor warriors in the area of Nanzhao Dali are very powerful, and all of them have been done by wizards and can be invulnerable. It is better for the imperial court to spend some money and lease them over to fight with the Liao army, anyway, no matter who dies, the Great Song Dynasty will not have to feel distressed.

For a while, there was gossip and different opinions in the court, and Song Zhenzong was amazed for a while, and smiling for a while, and he didn't know who to listen to.

Just when the ministers were chattering and talking non-stop, Prime Minister Kou Zhun coughed heavily and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, if the ministers offer a strategy, they will be able to repel the Liao army." ”

(The eight-thousand-year-old little prince said: Please comment more, reward more, and put the anti-wear bureau on top.) Kou Zhun nodded: Well, the old man looks good. ）
