As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, the three old men were stunned on the spot, their faces were red for a while, blue for a while, disappointed, or angry, obviously in a very complicated mood. They really couldn't figure out how the face of the little highness who was still imposing just now, and kept saying that he was going to return to the country without fear of all difficulties, did everything become an appearance, and in the end he still ran.

"Does Your Highness think that you shouldn't take advantage of the situation to fight back and regain lost territory?" After a while, Jiang Wanzai calmed down, and he asked.

"Yes." Zhao Hao moved his butt to make himself sit more comfortably and said, "If the enemy army moves north on a large scale, it will not be difficult for us to launch a counterattack and recover some prefectures and counties." But did Master Jiang think about it, if the civil strife in Mongolia was quickly quelled, and the enemy army went and returned, how would we hold the recovered prefectures and counties? I'm afraid that as soon as the enemy arrives, the current situation will be repeated, and the states and counties will surrender and rebel again, will the imperial court still drift on the sea! ”

"Why is Your Highness so pessimistic?" Jiang Wanzai's mood was a little better, it turned out that His Royal Highness was not afraid of the enemy, but worried.

"Lord Jiang, the affairs of the court should be clearer than this king. It's not that the king is pessimistic, but the ministers are pessimistic, they think that the future is bleak, and it is not easy to be safe. The situation is slightly unfavorable, and I don't think about how to overcome it, but I bend my knees and make peace, or simply flee. All he thought about was how to protect his life and interests, and even did not hesitate to provoke a court dispute for this, so that His Majesty, the country, and the people disregarded it. The local states and counties are even more rotten, and there are many people who forget their righteousness when they see profit, as long as they are tempted by fame and fortune, they will not hesitate to betray the court. Years of war have made the people feel at ease, and our dynasty has used all the means to raise what it needs, and the people's will has been completely lost, and they have succumbed to the enemy's threat. Even if we recover the lost territory, how can we defend it, who will defend it, and only rely on a few loyal ministers in the court, such as Lord Jiang and Lord Wen, how can we defend it, I am afraid that we will repeat the mistake of Li Tingzhi, Chen Wenlong and others who were defeated and killed. Zhao Yu said in a fierce voice.

"The foundation of the community, the responsibility of the temple. The country does not know that there is a people, and the people do not know that there is a country. What His Royal Highness said at the court meeting that day was really to the point. Ying Jie Yan said suddenly.

"On that day, the audience was arguing, and they felt it for a while." Zhao Hao sighed and said. It was also instantly clear in my heart that the two old men suddenly visited because they said this sentence that day, and they were testing themselves by playing chess and discussing the situation. However, this sentence is not out of his own mouth, it was just borrowed on the same day, but it is also appropriate.

It was the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and the once powerful dynasty was in decline. During the First Opium War, the British fleet broke through the Humen fortress from the sea and went north along the Pearl River, where tens of thousands of local residents gathered. They watched the battle between their court and the foreign Yi with a cold and very calm expression, as if they were watching a performance, when the Qing official ship flying the green dragon and yellow flag was sunk, the Qing army jumped into the water, and the residents on both sides of the strait actually let out a boo as if they were watching a circus and seeing the wonderful places. The commander of the British army, Bashali, witnessed this scene and was very puzzled. Then he asked his comprador why he had come to this, and the comprador said: The country does not know that there are people, and the people do not know that there is a country. The situation facing today's Great Song Dynasty is like a rehearsal of history, but the protagonist has been changed, but the ending is the same.

The reason for this is precisely the creation of national **** politics and ruling ideology, that is, because the penetration of the state under the **** politics in ancient China was extremely weak. The Confucianism of "not being in his position, not seeking his own government" and "not thinking of his position" has long controlled people into obedience and death. What the common people hope for is a life of men and women weaving, working at sunrise and entering at sunset, and there is not much difference between who sent the tax collectors, who ordered the arrest of the strong men, whether they were the rulers of their own tribe or foreign invaders.

The people are indifferent and numb to state affairs, and it is okay in peacetime, which is conducive to the stability of the country, but when it encounters great changes, it becomes a deadly poison in an instant. Therefore, whether it is a foreign invasion or a peasant uprising in the country, he will be allowed to be the master if he wins, and once the foreign race wins, there are often shameless literati who verify that everyone is of the same origin as the "Holy Religion", and they are all descendants of Emperor Xuanyuan, so even if they are forcibly divided into four levels: Mongols, Semu people, Han people, and Nanren, they still kneel and say long live long live. What should have been a mighty national war turned into a war between the Han and Mongolian rulers for power.

But now Zhao Yu can't say clearly, the Song Dynasty is Confucianism governing the country, and scholars are the backbone of the ruling class, and the two old men in front of him are the beneficiaries and supporters of Confucianism......

"In that case, how can His Highness's plan to abandon his son to survive be implemented?" Jiang Wanzai probably knew better than anyone else about the state of the imperial court, and he didn't delve into it, and what he wanted to know now was what His Royal Highness meant by the so-called 'abandoned son'.

"The so-called 'abandoned son' of this king means that he wants to give up the intention of taking advantage of the enemy's retreat to the north and taking the opportunity to attack everywhere and recover the country." Zhao Yu said.

"Oh, Your Highness's intention is to give up this great opportunity and have a corner of Gou'an." Jiang Wanzai said with some surprise.

"Lord Jiang's words are wrong, the current situation is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and there are constant disputes between the DPRK and China, and the court is drifting around like duckweed in a pond. At present, the most important thing is to take the opportunity to find a place where we can stay for a long time, rectify the government's program, eliminate the scum, reorganize the army, keep the light and cultivate obscurity, and seek opportunities to fight again. Instead of being blindly optimistic, thinking that the situation has been reversed, but not knowing that it is just a momentary joy, when the enemy army arrives again, it will be in an embarrassment again, and all the recovered land will be returned. Zhao Yu made his debut with his own intentions, and he also wanted to see their reactions.

"Two adults, Your Highness is still young, where do you understand military affairs, it's all nonsense, please don't be surprised." Seeing that the two of them were silent for a long time, Yu Rugui was a little worried, and hurriedly played a round, but what he said to Zhao Yu seemed to understand or not, and he only wondered where this kid knew this.

"What His Royal Highness said, the old man thinks it is very reasonable, and the top priority is to clean up the court, eliminate those corpses and vegetarian meals, and make peace at every turn." Ying Jieyan said.

"Well, His Highness's words are not unreasonable, it's just ......" Jiang Wanzai wanted to speak and stopped.

"My lord wants to say that everything is still uncertain, even if it is predicted, I am afraid that it will be difficult for your lord to convince the ministers of the court and the central government, and he will not be able to influence the situation, right?" Zhao Hao smiled and said, in fact, he also expected that his ideas could not be implemented, but he felt that if he didn't say that there would be no chance in the future, he would also leave regrets, "This king also knows the difficulties of adults, now Chen Xiang is in power, Zhang Shumi controls the army, and now he is just thinking about avoiding the enemy's edge, and he is bent on finding another place to live. ”

"Alas, Your Highness Xie is considerate." Jiang Wanzai sighed and said, but then again, he also knew that what His Highness said was correct, but he also understood that the top priority was to maintain the stability of the imperial court and ensure the safety of His Majesty, so as to continue the national lineage of the Great Song Dynasty, which determined that he must not take risks.

"What are your highness's plans?" Ying Jieyan asked.

"Under the current circumstances, this king has no power to change, so he can only go with the flow." Zhao Hao said with a wry smile.

"Your Highness......"

"This king has an important matter to deal with, so I won't accompany him, please accompany the two adults!" As soon as Ying Yanjie opened his mouth, a small yellow door hurriedly ran in, muttered a few words in Zhao Yu's ear, and he got up and arched his hand and said.

"Your Highness, please, I've been disturbed for a long time today, and I'm leaving." Jiang Wanzai also stood up and saluted back.

"It's okay, just ask the prince to send it on behalf of the king." Zhao Yu hesitated and said to Yu Rugui......

Jiang Wanzai and the three of them left the palace, it was already sunset, neither of them spoke, there was an indescribable feeling in their hearts, it was not happy or worried, only Jiang Yu was still chattering and complaining that the little prince was too rude, and he didn't leave them to eat, and he didn't even want to send them in person. At this moment, the government army is returning to the camp, and every time they meet, no matter which team of sergeants will give way to stop and salute, until they pass by, Jiang Yu couldn't help but stop and straighten his waist.

"Today, what does Mengchen think of King Wei?" The two walked in front, Jiang Yu led the horse behind, and Jiang Wanzai broke the silence and asked.

"Palace Marshal, in my opinion, His Highness does not seem to be a hypocrisy, and his insight and intelligence are indeed outstanding." Ying Yan replied.

"Well, I still had doubts about His Highness's rumors, thinking that there was someone behind him to teach and guide. But we are visiting suddenly, and the things we play and talk about are all improvised, and apart from you and me, only Yu Guogong is present in the hall, but he has always been mediocre, and it is only a few days before he enters the mansion, and it is impossible. But His Royal Highness is fluent in answers, and he always has unique insights, even if you and I can't remind them, I can't think of it. Jiang Wanzai nodded and said.

"Does the marshal think that he will really go with the flow? I saw that the barracks were still being renovated outside the palace, and it didn't look like they were going to evacuate. Ying Yanjie stopped and asked.

"Hehe, what do you think?" Jiang Wanzai asked rhetorically, seeing that Ying Jieyan shook his head and said that he didn't believe it.

"The palace marshal also thought that His Highness would leave the court aside and do something else." Ying Jieyan said.

"I think His Highness must have already calculated, what he confided today is actually a temptation, and I refuse to respond, he will definitely avoid us and act alone, but I don't know what will happen to him, it's really worrying." Jiang Wanzai said worriedly.

"The palace marshal also has a heart of love!" Ying Jieyan said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness has great ambitions to restore the country, and he also has extraordinary talents, and the restoration of the country may fall on his shoulders in the future. Liu Shengbo was vague that day, I was still secretly annoyed that he didn't know the righteousness, now I think about it, he already knows His Royal Highness's temperament, and it is because he is worried that his edge will be too exposed and will be calculated by others so he refuses to say it clearly, which is really a loving move! But after all, he is young, his experience is still shallow, he does not know the dangers of the court, and he is too sharp and reckless, which cannot help but worry that he will do something arrogant. ”

"Palace Marshal, then why don't we go to Shengbo Mansion and find out!"

"Hehe, that's exactly what I mean!" Jiang Wanzai smiled knowingly, led the horse, and the three of them turned over and galloped in the direction of Liu's mansion......
