Chapter 834: The situation is unknown
Although Deng Mu has a proud backbone, but he has no good life, no one appreciates his 'talent', he is depressed and has no source of life, so he can only live in the Taoist temple, and sway his 'pride' between the mountains and rivers, and cover his frustration with madness. But this is also his weakness, today he was scarred by the little emperor, and he suddenly felt angry, and he went crazy again regardless of it.
"My life is mine, not heaven and earth, and I care what others think!" Deng Mu snorted coldly.
"If you want to be a madman, you have to have that qualification!" Zhao Hao said coldly, "You can't carry it on your shoulders, you can't lift it in your hands, you rely on the autumn wind everywhere to get by; thinks that he is full of economy, but in fact, he is just out of place; I thought that my ambition was difficult to raise, but I didn't look at my own catties, my grandmother didn't love my uncle and uncle, and the dog didn't smell the things that the cat ignored, but I blamed others! ”
"Hehe, heaven and earth are not kind, how can it be heaven and earth!" Deng Mu didn't expect the little emperor to scold people in a set of ways, which made it difficult for him to refute, so he could only laugh and laugh.
"Heaven and earth are not kind, you can change the heavens and the earth and reopen the heavens and the earth. But do you have what it takes? In my opinion, in addition to hiding in the nest and self-pity, you are just going crazy with alcohol, shouting two words, and pushing your incompetence to God! Zhao Yu said sarcastically.
"The heavens are mediocre, the people are ignorant, how can a group of ordinary people know my mind!" When Deng Mu heard this, he tore off his shirt, raised his arms to the sky and shouted, letting the rain fall on him.
"Heaven is mediocre and knows what people can do, and the people are ignorant and know how to plough the fields and weave cloth, and each has his own life, and you are just a poor worm that does nothing to parasitize on ordinary people." Zhao Hao heard that he was alluding to himself from the sky, blaming him for not having the ability to recognize people, and let him be buried. And he has a bad feeling for him, of course, he doesn't have good things to say to him, and he can also say every word of his heart.
"I'm a poor worm?!" Deng Mu muttered when he heard this, and his face became more and more ugly. Thinking about himself and the celebrities and celebrities, drinking and singing, chatting with the world, they all praised him for his excellent theories, and there was an endless stream of writers, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of the little emperor and the world, he was just a pitiful worm.
"Do you think that you are hiding in the Taoist temple to sell your reputation and reputation, pretending to be high and playing deeply, so you pretend to become a master? In fact, he is just a shameless, disloyal and unrighteous person. What kind of madman he claims to be, but he is just a madman! Zhao Hao smiled disdainfully.
"I'm angry and I ......" Deng Mu was humiliated by the little emperor repeatedly, I don't know if he was confused, or he was really poked in the heart, and his usual freedom became sprinkling, and it was difficult to distinguish, and he shouted that he wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake.
"Hehe, Dr. Qu died in the river with concern for the country, and was admired and paid tribute by the world from generation to generation. As for you, I advise you not to dirty the clear water of this lake and ruin the beautiful scenery on the lake, but you will be cursed all the time, and you will not be at peace when you die! Seeing his appearance of seeking death and life, Zhao Yu smiled and smiled.
"You ......" Deng Mu was humiliated by this, trembled twice, his eyes turned white, he fell on his back on the boat, and fainted.
"Daoist Lang, since you have jumped out of the red dust, you should devote yourself to the Tao, why bother to be bound by worldly things, why not concentrate on cultivating the Dao early!" Zhao Yu ignored Deng Mu and turned to Lang Rushan Road.
"Your Majesty's teachings, keep the poor road in mind!" Lang Rushan said the first thing, and he knew in his heart that his life was saved.
"Sail!" Zhao Yu turned around and went back to the cabin, Zheng Yong ordered the boat to sail, and the three boats made a slight adjustment and headed west.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Lang Rushan bowed and saluted, and at this time, there was a burst of singing from the imperial boat, and the voice was the little emperor.
"Love or hate, love and hate are not hung in the heart. There is no fate in the previous life, the lover should love, but the hate is in vain! Whether it's bitter or happy, sweet and sour are always bitter and spicy. Smile often open husband, bitter haha, happy haha! ”
"Rich or poor, happiness does not depend on money. Luxurious and tranquil, the rich are brilliant, and the poor are elegant! Whether it's a blessing or a curse, remember the blessing and the curse. The ups and downs of life are the ladder, blessings hang on the head, and disasters step on the feet! ”
"Success or failure, don't judge success or failure, try your best to fight is a hero, success is also chic, defeat is also chic! Gain or lose, suffer from mistakes. Do everything you should do, you get better, and you don't lose anything! Whether it is praise or depreciation, it is a moment of smoke. ”
"The gentleman and villain are good and evil, praise is also him, and depreciation is also him! Yes or no, yes or wrong, what is right or wrong? Thirty years in Hedong and Hexi, right and wrong, wrong and right! Wake up, get drunk, half-awake and half-drunk is the best. Wake up and be smart, and drunk and not stupid......"
"Your Majesty is the one who has broken through the red dust and obtained the true monarch!" The boat drifted away, and the song faded away. Shen Defu bowed in the direction where the imperial boat disappeared, and then he pulled out the boat and sang and said, "Go to the altar and walk in unison, and wish the country to welcome auspiciousness." The middle pole cloud hangs the golden que, and the Huagong incense and jade furnace are clear. The folk customs are pure and ancient, the mountains and rivers are strong, and the national fortune is prosperous, the sun and the moon are bright. Thousands of people are happy to meet Yao Shunsheng, and the year is full of Fengdeng'an Taiping ......"
…………
Two days later, Zhao Yu received news that Lang Rushan asked himself to remove the Tidian Dongxiao Palace and all teaching positions, and temporarily handed over the teaching affairs to Shen Duofu to take care of, while he entered the Dadi Cave to retreat and cultivate, pursuing the way of heaven. After Deng Mu went back, he rested for a day, said goodbye to everyone, traveled south in cloth and straw shoes, and worshipped famous teachers to find the right way to dispel the doubts in his heart. Soon after Shen Duofu took over, he stopped the reconstruction project of Dongxiao Palace, and donated 100,000 yuan and stone and wood for the rebuilding of Yue Wumu Temple.
For Zhao Hao, the two were just hurried passers-by in front of him, and they couldn't make any waves, but they changed the trajectory of their lives. At this time, there was information arrived, Zhenjin, who had no emperor's order, finally returned to Dadu a month ago, and with the support of Boyan and An Tong, he quickly took control of the government, changed the year name to Yuanzhi, and the Empress Dowager Nanbi was placed under house arrest. Boyan and An Tong are divided into right and left phases. Although Sang Ge was not deposed, he was transferred to participate in political affairs, and still took Ye Li as the middle of the imperial history, his teacher Li Qian as the state affairs of Pingzhang, and Dong Shi was elected as the left of the middle book.
Zhenjin knew very well that he had made great concessions in order to inherit the throne, and since Jiangnan had been lost, his actual control was limited to the Central Plains and Sichuan-Shaanxi, and his strength had been greatly weakened compared to that of Kublai Khan. After years of wars and lavish rewards, the treasury was empty, and the tax land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was lost, the finances were extremely tight, and its khanate position was not stable, and there were still internal disputes. In addition, in the battle of Jiangnan, the number of troops was lost by seven or eight, especially the naval forces along the rivers and along the coast were almost completely wiped out, and the losses were heavy.
After consulting with several cronies and important ministers, he thought that it was not easy to use troops at the moment, but to recuperate, stabilize the interior as soon as possible, train the navy, accumulate strength, and then try to go south of the Yangtze River. Under the policy of settling the outside world and first securing the interior, Zhenjin agreed to continue to negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty in an effort to gain time and get the most out of it. In the name of Sang Ge's disadvantage in the peace talks, he was dismissed from his post as the chief envoy, and Boyan was transferred to preside over the peace talks, and at the same time sent people to urge Liu Mengyan to promote the matter as soon as possible.
In this context, Liu Mengyan repeatedly urged Xu Zongren to 'fulfill' his promise and start peace negotiations as soon as possible. Because this matter was originally planned by Zhao Yu, and now the Queen Mother is presiding over the government, Xu Zongren is very embarrassed, and after consulting His Majesty, he wrote to ask for peace. After several meetings with the people, Empress Dowager Yang thought that what the little emperor said was good, and there was no harm in talking, which could buy time for stabilizing the regime and reorganizing the army.
Both sides almost always needed a period of peace for the same reason, but the Great Song was relatively more urgent. So it was agreed that the right minister Wen Tianxiang would be the chief envoy of the peace conference, and Xu Zongren would be the deputy envoy, and Liu Mengyan should be told to report back to the Mengyuan court as soon as possible for further contact. Liu Mengyan was excited to cry silently, he had been staying in Jiangnan for nearly half a year, not only worried that the little emperor would slaughter him as a traitor, but also afraid that he would be punished by Meng Yuan if he could not complete the task, then he would really have a country and a family.
Liu Mengyan immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Dadu, of course, he applauded himself, and told how he overcame all difficulties and risked his life to persuade Song Ting to promote peace. After receiving the letter, Boyan immediately went south and instructed him to choose a place for peace negotiations as soon as possible. But on this seemingly simple issue, the two sides disagreed. They all hope to choose the place of peace negotiations on their own territory, and it seems that only in this way can they suppress the momentum of the other party and win an opportunity for themselves.
Zhao Yu felt that it didn't matter where it was, and the outcome of the negotiation was not determined by where the negotiations were, but by the strength of both sides. If you are strong, even if you go to the capital to talk, how can you endure me! But since both sides like to spend time on this, let them go over there, and it doesn't hurt to talk about three or five years. And even if a peace agreement is reached, what is the use, it is nothing more than a piece of waste paper, which may be torn up at any time, not to mention that he has no heart to care about these small things at the moment.
Yesterday, Zhao Yu suddenly received a military report from Jiang Cheng, the envoy of Huguang, saying that there was turmoil in Mengyuan's Yunnan Province, and not only the Mengyuan garrison attacked each other, but also the various Tibetan tribes under its jurisdiction also rose up one after another, and fought with Mengyuan, and the situation was very chaotic when all parties attacked each other. In addition, there were displaced people and rebels who continued to enter the Huguang area, and even some enemy troops crossed the border to pursue, thus triggering repeated clashes between the two sides, causing great pressure on Nanning and Qinzhou, which were on the border with the enemy. In addition to asking for instructions on how to deal with it, Jiang Cheng suggested taking advantage of the enemy's internal turmoil to send troops to Yunnan Province and incorporate this place into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, so as to avoid the worries of being attacked on both sides.
Yunnan Province is the homeland of Dali, and it has never been intriguing to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but exists in the form of a vassal country, and Zhao Yu is well aware of this. In that year, Meng Yuan repeatedly failed to attack the Song Dynasty, so he adopted a roundabout tactic, avoided the Jingxiang defense line, captured Dali first, and penetrated the back of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, the seizure of Yunnan is strategically very beneficial to his side, but he feels that the time is not ripe, and he has not yet discovered the cause of the emergency.
In fact, after Zhao Yu received the news, his first feeling was that the action team of the Secretariat had succeeded in assassinating the king of Mengyuan Yunnan and Timur, but the Bureau, which was known for its well-informed and fast transmission, did not report the matter, which made him very puzzled. For a while, he did not dare to determine the cause of the incident, which also made it difficult for him to judge whether it was just an accidental incident, or whether it was a conspiracy of Meng Yuan, or whether it was a prelude to an attack on his side on the pretext of suppressing the various Tibetan tribes.
"Your Majesty, Master Zheng has arrived!"
"See you soon!" Of course, Zhao Yu summoned Zheng Huchen to inquire about the situation as soon as possible, and he had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Majesty!" Zheng Huchen trotted into the hall and immediately saluted, and he also wondered why the little emperor was in a hurry to summon him.
"Excuse me!" Zhao Yu asked him to sit down, waved his hand and asked left and right, "Look at what the situation is!" ”
"My subordinates have had, but I didn't tell Your Majesty in time!" Zheng Huchen read the military newspaper of Huguang Province and immediately pleaded guilty.
"So, you know about it, so why don't you report it?" Zhao Yu frowned and asked.
"Your Majesty is angry, let your subordinates be detailed!" Zheng Huchen saw that the little emperor's face was not good, and hurriedly said, "Since the subordinates were ordered to assassinate Timur, they sent people to track his whereabouts and choose the location of interception. However, it was escorted by a large army, and it was difficult to find an opportunity to act, so it could only be accompanied all the way to Luzhou to find an opportunity......"
After reconnaissance, the Secretariat learned that Timur's march route was from Shaanxi to Sichuan, and then along the Sichuan-Shaanxi Road through Dazhou, Baxian, and Luzhou into Yunnan. It was surrounded by many troops, and it was impossible to get close to it at all. When camping, the tent stretched for miles, and the tent was set up in the center, and it was not easy to find it from the thousands of tents, even if you knew that it was impossible to infiltrate it.
It was not until Luzhou that the action team found an opportunity, the road was cut off by the Yangtze River and the Tuojiang River, and there was no other way to move forward than to cross the river. At this time, it has entered the rainy season, the river is surging, and the pontoon bridge has been retracted, so you can only cross the river by boat. At this point, the target would be further narrowed, and they planned to lay down a ship upstream, fill it with gunpowder, and then crash it down the river after they had reached the center of the river.
"They use the method of ending up together, and they don't even have a chance to get out if they go downstream!" Zhao Yu was shocked when he heard this, the rapid current of the river was very fast, and their boat was loaded with gunpowder, even if they withdrew to the small boat in time before the collision, it would still be affected.
"What Your Majesty said is true, but there is no chance in front of Luzhou, so they decided to fight to the death to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty." Zheng Huchen said, "In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the team is divided into two groups, and if the first ship misses, the second ship will continue to collide. As a result, the first ship hit with a single blow, and in order to ensure success, they all gave up the chance to escape and died with the enemy. The second group was hunted down by the enemy and its whereabouts are still unknown. And after the enemy ship was rammed and sunk, Timur's guards blocked both sides of the strait, and the people who stayed behind could not determine whether he was dead or not, so his subordinates did not report to His Majesty! ”
"Well, judging from the current situation, it should be possible to determine that he is dead, but it can't be prevented from being a fraud!" Zhao Hao touched his chin and said......
