Chapter 052: Broken
When the ministers in the palace heard that the emperor was going to give Wang Song a word, the envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts were even worse, especially those scholars and doctors, and their eyes were even redder.
They all thought in their hearts, this Wang Song is only in his early 20s, but he has received such a great favor from the emperor, in the long run, how can there be a place for them in this hall?
The ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, the king and the scholars ruled the world together, but now the morality is decayed, the etiquette and music are broken, the world is declining, the martial arts are in power, how sad the Great Song Dynasty is!
It's just that the emperor is now favored and his authority is growing, and at such a juncture, none of the scholars and doctors stand up, so as not to anger the king and lose the black veil on his head.
Zhao Huan stood up, paced a few steps in the main hall, muttered for a long time, and said loudly: "Now that the Jurchens are besieging the city, and Bianliang City is now on the line of life and death, I will give you a table to break the captive, I hope you will kill more thieves in the future and serve the country loyally." ”
Wang Song knelt down and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Wechen must kill more thieves and be loyal to the country!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live!"
Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Li Yanxian, Zhang Heng, Dong Ping and others also followed behind Wang Song and shouted long live together. Everyone stood up, all of them raised their eyebrows, and their faces were full of chrysanthemums.
Zhao Huan was also happy when he saw a group of people waiting, and said loudly: "Today is the first day, the first day of the first month, Zhongqing and I will spend the festival together, let's eat in the back garden!"
Zhao Huan went down to change clothes, and Wang Song and the others came to an attic in the back garden under the leadership of the palace people, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
Everyone passed by Yanfu Palace and saw Genyue from a distance, which was ruined and ruined, and it was full of messes, and it was no longer the grand scene of the past.
The Jurchen army besieged the city, and Zhao Huan ordered the removal of the stones inside Genyue to deal with the Jurchens outside the city.
It seems that this king has his own warm side.
Wang Song was quite sentimental, shook his head and said: "Brothers, you can restore it here, as a place of interest, let the Song people from all over the world come to pay respects." First, it can increase the taxes of the imperial court, second, it can make the world understand the truth of arrogance and misleading the country, and third, it can enjoy the scenery and nourish the affection, which can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone!"
Everyone nodded yes. Not long after coming to the attic, Zhao Huan had already arrived, and everyone sat down one after another.
The palace people passed the food in turn, the dishes on it were very simple, the mountain delicacies and game were not to mention, even the fish and meat were very few, but the meals were steaming and fragrant.
Wang Song's heart was sour, and he couldn't imagine that although Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji were father and son, their temperaments were completely different.
"Your Majesty is so simple, Wei Chen is ashamed. Wechen must expel the northern captives as soon as possible, so that His Majesty can feel at ease!"
All the soldiers in the banquet said together: "Your Majesty, Weichen and others must expel the northern captives as soon as possible, so that Your Majesty can feel at ease!"
"Everyone, don't be polite."
Zhao Huan waved his hand and said: "The state affairs are difficult, the gold captives are rampant, and the people in the city are freezing to death and dying of diseases. The families of the Qing family are fighting on the battlefield, and it is rare to have a hot meal, so feel free today. ”
The emperor decreed, everyone picked up the rice bowl, began to eat, the voice was much quieter than usual, the behavior was much more regular, the more restrained food tasted the same as chewing wax, I don't know the taste.
The crowd hurried down. Zhao Huan said a few words on face, and the topic quickly shifted to the war.
With the stalemate of the war, the embarrassment of Bianliang City has also been alleviated to a certain extent. Now that the soldiers from all over the country who came to Qinwang have also exchanged hands with the Jin army, although the situation in Bianliang City is still grim, with a lack of food and clothing, the situation has developed in a favorable direction.
Speaking of which, thanks to the perseverance of the loyal and righteous army in the city and the two bloody battles outside the city, the spirit of the Jin people is gradually wearing off, but the city is full of hardships, hard fighting has become a daily routine, and the fear of the Jin people has disappeared completely.
Wang Songsu bowed and said: "Your Majesty can rest assured that Bianliang City is as solid as gold, and it will be difficult for Fanzi to attack it." Fanzi went south, the lone soldiers went deep, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, the mountains ate and chewed the sea, and it was barely supported. If the minister's expectation is good, Fanzi will immediately propose a peace proposal, and Your Majesty does not need to worry!"
Wang Song continued: "Your Majesty, the Jurchens have withdrawn, and our army should pursue them and inflict the greatest casualties on the Jurchens. The Jurchens have suffered heavy losses, and they will not invade the south in a short time, and our Chaozheng can accumulate strength, and in the future, they will go straight to Huanglong and then take Yanyun. ”
Zhao Huan was noncommittal, and said to the generals: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will give you another drink!"
The banquet was dispersed, the generals said goodbye and left, and Wang Song followed Zhao Huan and walked to the northeast of the imperial city. When he arrived in it, Wang Song was taken aback, and it turned out that the emperor had introduced him into Genyue.
Gen Yue is divided into two mountains, north and south, both of which stretch to the east and west, and fold and arch in the opposite direction, forming a situation where the mountains are surrounded by rows and the middle is flat.
The north mountain is slightly easterly, the name is long live mountain, the mountain circumference is more than ten miles, and the highest peak reaches ninety steps. There is a pavilion on the top of the peak, and the east and west ridges are divided into two ridges by boundary. According to the pavilion south look, the scenery under the mountain is vivid, and the South Mountain is like a screen. Looking north, the smoke wavelength shore, spread for more than ten miles.
There are several other pavilions on both sides of the pavilion, the east is called Jimu and Xiao Sen; In the west, it is said that Luyun and Mid-Mountain. The east ridge is round and mixed like a long whale, the waist diameter is 100 feet, its east peak stands, the tree boulder is said to fly to the peak, the peak edge is like cutting, there is the posture of the cloud crane floating, high above the city.
Plum trees are planted under the ridge, the mountain root structure is calyx green hall, when the plum blossom is in full bloom, the green is bears the fall, the fragrance is fragrant, there is a unique scene.
In Genyue, it is obvious that it has just been cleaned, the blue brick pavement is clean, but the courtyard has been dilapidated, the original scenery is still vaguely visible, red plums, white eyebrows bloom everywhere, forming a sea of flowers, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
The two walked into the garden, and the palace people followed far behind. Zhao Huan asked Wang Song about his family affairs from time to time, and Wang Song replied cautiously, but it was also suitable for the monarch and the minister.
"I didn't expect that there is a brother in the Qing family, I hope God bless people, he can be safe and sound!"
Zhao Huan comforted while stepping on the snow to enjoy the plums.
"The Qing family knows that I was forced to take the throne by the Emperor Taishang, and I am used to living a comfortable life, so I know how to compose poems and write words, where to understand these military affairs. Since I ascended the throne, I have been lamenting and trembling all night. Don't hide it from the Qing family, when the Jurchens invaded the south, I secretly cried a lot of days, you won't laugh at me, right?"
Zhao Huan shook his head and continued: "Since I ascended the throne, I have killed the six thieves, rectified the dynasty, and wanted to do something, but I was indecisive and didn't know anything about political affairs. The ministers of the DPRK and China, the two factions of peace and war, are constantly in dispute. In addition, the forbidden army of our Great Song Dynasty was rotten and collapsed in a battle, the entire government and the opposition were in a miasma, Bianliang City almost fell, and I almost became a prisoner of the Jurchens. If it weren't for the Qing family coming to the rescue, I'm afraid Bianliang City would have been a scorched earth at the moment. ”
Wang Songxin said, it turns out that Zhao Huan still has this self-knowledge.
If he hadn't led his troops to come, he would have come at the right time, at this moment Bianliang City had already been broken, and the Great Song royal family had become a prisoner of the order, the Song family moved south, Zhao Gou ascended the throne, and the Great Song Dynasty no longer had the power to look north.
Wang Song said: "Your Majesty does not have to blame yourself. Today's situation in the imperial court is the result of the shortcomings accumulated in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years. The Jurchens are stronger than the Great Song Dynasty, and they are strong and brave, especially the elite of the cavalry to impact the weak Song soldiers, so they will be destroyed, and they will become the momentum of breaking the bamboo! ”
He continued: "Therefore, to deal with the Jurchens, only by using elite soldiers against cavalry and training a new army, at least they can be in an undefeated situation, and they will not be defeated with one blow!"
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "What the Qing family said is extremely true. This recruit in Bianliang City, you have to train well. ”
The two monarchs and ministers came all the way, stopped and stopped, and suddenly saw a pavilion in front of them. It was winter, the first day of the festival, several people were standing in the pavilion, and there seemed to be a woman's voice in the middle.
Zhao Huan frowned, and was about to turn his head to leave, when a woman in front of him shouted loudly: "Big brother, you are also here!" Daddy is here, come here!"
Zhao Huan was helpless, took Wang Song over, entered the attic, and bowed: "The child greets Daddy!"
A middle-aged man in his forties, covered with a cyan cotton robe, but not bloated, but looking fairy-like.
Seeing Zhao Huan, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Official, you're here too!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Wang Song and said in a clear voice: "Such a majestic person must be the new Tongzhiyuan, Wang Song, the envoy of the two rivers Xuanfu!"
Wang Song stepped forward and bowed: "Weichen meets the emperor!"
The famous Song Huizong, the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of the Daojun, and the thin gold body can be called a great artist.
Historical evaluation: "Everything can be done, but you can't be a king!"
The talented merry man, the unlearned and unskilled unlearned gentleman, if he is an ordinary prince of the Great Song Dynasty, with his artistic attainments, he will definitely be famous through the ages. It's a pity that he mistakenly became the emperor, not only buried himself, but also buried the entire Great Song Dynasty, and ended up with a stench for 10,000 years.
When several women and palace people next to them heard that it was Wang Song, they all turned their heads curiously and looked over.
Zhao Huan said: "Wang Qing, I will introduce you to you, this one is Emperor Maode, this one is Emperor Roufu, you come and see it!"
Wang Song fixed his eyes and saw that a woman was beautiful and beautiful, rich and powerful, very graceful and luxurious. Wang Song also secretly admired, but felt that this kind of beauty was like a peony, too tacky, too rich, and too conventional.
The other woman is thin eyebrows and fine eyes, although not so bright and moving, but a sense of elegance contained in it, straight like a hollow valley orchid, slim lotus, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed.
It is said that Emperor Maode is Zhao Ji's favorite daughter and the most beautiful, but in Wang Song's view, the fat powder is too heavy and overly carved, just like the Internet celebrity face of later generations.
On the contrary, the Roufu Emperor next to her is white and clean, lightly sweeping the moth eyebrows, pure and shy, with a feeling of first love, which can move people's hearts even more.
Moreover, Wang Song immediately recognized it, the Roufu Emperor in front of him was the woman watching the battle on the city wall, which really made people's hearts pound, and I felt pity.
Seeing the luxurious mink fur on the two of them, the exquisite wine jug on the stone table in the attic, all kinds of dim sum, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that he copied, Wang Song sighed secretly in his heart, sure enough, it was the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat, and there were frozen bones on the road. People outside starved to death and died of countless diseases, but there are still delicious food and wine here, and it is poetic.
Seeing the things on everyone's stone table, Zhao Huan's face also changed slightly, and he turned his head slightly, no longer looking at this side.
On the one hand, it is thrifty, on the other hand, it is the sound of dogs and horses, on the other hand, it is to love the people, and on the other hand, it is to exhaust the people's power in the world.
