Chapter 966: The Imperial Hall

What is wolf nature and what is sheep nature? At the end of the day, it's all about human nature.

The nomads have never stopped invading the Central Plains, not wolves, not sheep, but human nature. The harsh and unique grassland and desert environment situation has to make them choose the same way of survival as wolves in the face of natural and man-made disasters.

When all the territories can no longer provide them with food to survive, they must go out of their territories, expand their territory to forage for food, compete with other animals for resources, or kill each other with their own kind.

Farming civilization also depends on the sky to continue life, but after getting the favor of nature, under the advantages of the natural environment, so that people do not have to leave the "territory", they can live well.

When the flood is raging, the people of the Central Plains will also migrate to find another place to survive, and when there is no rain, the people will also choose to leave the "territory" just to be able to live.

Therefore, whether it is a nomadic or a farmer, in the face of natural and man-made disasters, based on respect for their own lives, they will choose to go out of the "territory" and find ways to continue their lives.

In the end, it's just human nature, or animal nature.

In the final analysis, whether it is a human or an animal, in order to be alive, whether it is to invade or migrate and beg, it is actually nature, regardless of the animal nature.

There has never been any wolf nature, sheep nature, chicken soup for the soul, wolf nature in the mouth of workplace experts, sheep nature is the way to talk, and when the head is the way, in Ye Qing's eyes, they will always put on a fox mask that survives by opportunism, and then they will feel that it is just right.

There is no difference between wolf nature and sheep nature, only in terms of nature, can Ye Qing believe that through war, he may be able to set things right, which is about to shackle the nature of the Chinese nation in the critical period later.

In later generations, almost all traditional ideas converged into a river in the Song Dynasty, and then formed an unstoppable trend that lasted for nearly a thousand years.

During this period, the three-character classic, the hundred family names, and the most famous were the four books named after Confucius, Mencius, Zeng Shen, and Zisi by Zhu Xi, that is, the four books finally came out, thus becoming the best choice in the imperial examination.

As for the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, the subsequent Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have proved with practical actions that when the scope of the imperial examination is limited to the four books annotated by Zhu Xi, thus forming the famous eight-strand text, how miserable the fate of the Chinese nation is.

When the scholars of the imperial examination, who can control the lifeblood of the country, are limited to strict regulations, and everything has to travel between conditioning, their nature is bound to be shackled to one side of the world, and then they are like frogs at the bottom of the well sitting in the well and watching the sky.

The cruelty and brutality of war are disgusted by the world, but it has to be said that through war not only can we win wealth, but also can speed up the pace of development of the times, all kinds of all-encompassing means of war, whimsical ways of war, just like standing on the opposite side of the literati imperial examination, when he sacrificed the lives of soldiers, he is also liberating human nature, forcing people to rack their brains for the victory of war, and all means and methods that can win the war are applied on the battlefield.

The war is magnificent, open and close, and all kinds of experiences and lessons are learned with blood and life, so that we have to strive to create more capable means of defeating the enemy.

The imperial examination is strictly organized, cautious, and deeply afraid of blaspheming the saints between the words and sentences, so they have to read it at night, and remember the ancients with awe and respect.

The northern land is turbulent, Lin'an is comfortable and leisurely, Ye Qing's invasion of Xia has caused a huge controversy in the Lin'an court, and the court is like a fried pot, and the voices are arguing one after another.

At the beginning, the forcible occupation of Guanshan had been regarded by everyone as inappropriate, and it was unkind and unjust to trap the Song Dynasty, and it was a loss of national dignity and dignity.

Now that Ye Qing not only did not restrain his atrocities, but actually took the initiative to use troops in Xia and put aside the sworn enemies of the Great Song Dynasty, was he not afraid that the Jin people would suddenly attack and go south at this time? Or has Ye Qing reached some consensus with the Jin people, or has he secretly lowered the gold, so he dares to be so unscrupulous?

So last year, the Jin envoys went to Jinan Mansion to stay, and the matter that lasted for nearly a month was once again turned out by Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan, as evidence that Ye Qing had already invested in gold, coupled with the words of the imperial history and the official, so that Han and Shi began to shout that they wanted to impeach Ye Qing for treason.

The Privy Council was rectified by Han Yanxuan as soon as Ye Qing left Lin'an, and now, the Privy Council has become an official like the military department back then, but it is

The empty shell that has no rights, but the current military department has once again restored its earlier prestige, and almost all the military functions and powers of the Great Song Dynasty except for the northern land have completely returned to the hands of the military department.

Within a month of the courtiers, the almost rare current saint Zhao Dian also made an exception today to appear in the vertical arch hall, but there was still the queen Li Fengniang sitting next to him.

"Ye Qing, as a privy envoy, since he has decided to use troops against Xia, the Privy Council must have already discussed this matter, so ...... There is no need to ask again, not to mention that the Privy Council also received documents from before Ye Qing used the army. Zhao Dian slowly put down the recital handed over by Empress Li Fengniang herself, looked at several officials in the hall and said.

"Back to the Holy Lord, now my Great Song Dynasty is acting on the orders of the Ministry of War, not the Privy Council, Ye Qing is so enthusiastic that he mobilizes the people to conquer the summer, that is, he does not put the imperial court in his eyes, let alone the Holy Lord, and even the livelihood of the people in the north who are still hungry and cold are also forgotten. Over the past few days, there has been a royal history to impeach Ye Qing for having a rebellious heart and wanting to establish himself as the king in the north, and now he is making a big show to conquer Xia, as far as the minister knows, because he wants to rely on the Jin country to establish himself as the king. Han Yanxuan said with a gloomy face.

And Shi Miyuan on the side, at this time his face is not good to see where to go, since last autumn harvest, Zheng Qingzhi, the head of the household, has allocated a large amount of grain to the north, and the reason given is that although the flood in the north has been controlled, the submerged land has not had much harvest, so he had to ask the court for help again.

But now, hearing the news of Ye Qing's summer expedition, Shi Miyuan suddenly felt a sense of anger that he was being played by Ye Qing again, what a special shortage of food in the north, Ye Qing asked for food with clever words, and now it seems that it is completely for today's summer expedition.

"Back to the saints, now the people of the north are short of food and clothing, as far as the minister knows, since the first day of last year to the present, the household department has allocated a lot of food for the north in a row. Originally, it was intended to be used to help the victims, but now it was used by Ye Qing in the matter of the summer campaign, saint, Ye Qing is so bent on doing his own thing, even if he has no self-reliance, it is enough to show that the court is no longer enough to restrain him in his eyes. If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid it will ...... It will raise tigers and endanger our Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, according to the minister's opinion, the imperial court should come forward, repair the letter of the country and negotiate peace with Xia, and then urgently summon Ye Qing back to Lin'an Chaotang to ask for the guilt. Shi Miyuan glanced at Han Yanxuan quietly, the two of them could fight back and forth above the court, but if Ye Qing was allowed to benefit from the fisherman, he didn't want to see it.

Therefore, at this time, it is the most important and urgent thing to let go of the prejudice between you and Han Yanxuan, and to be consistent with the outside world.

In the face of the suggestions of Han Yanxuan and Shi Miyuan, Zhao Dan, who had not been in the court for a long time and had never asked about political affairs, couldn't help but set his eyes on the queen Li Fengniang, but at this moment, Li Fengniang lowered her eyes indifferently and ignored Zhao Dan's plea gaze.

"Holy Lord, the minister thinks that now that Ye Qing has used troops against the Xia Kingdom, he might as well wait for the war to end, and then the Holy Lord will summon Ye Qing back to Lin'an ......." Liuzheng frowned, looking at Zhao Dian who was sitting on the throne a little anxious, and couldn't help but say aloud.

"What if Ye Qing didn't listen to the holy will at that time and didn't return to Lin'an?" Han Yanxuan said to Liuzheng in a deep voice: "What's more, it's not like Ye Qing hasn't done this kind of thing, when the Emperor Taishang was still in the palace, he recalled Ye Qing with thirteen wills in a row. Now that Ye Qing lives in the north and is in power, if he is not recalled immediately, does Lord Liu think that the imperial court can recall him again? ”

And just above the Lin'an court, because of Ye Qing's conquest of Xia, there was a lot of noise, and when Ye Qing was immediately summoned back to Lin'an to ask for guilt, the court of the Jin Kingdom was also not idle.

However, compared to the Lin'an court, whether it is Wanyan Jing, Wanyan Yongji, or other ministers, Jin Guo is extremely optimistic and relaxed about this, but only the gods and slaves of Qishilie have shown unprecedented solemnity in Ye Qing's expedition to Xia.

Wan Yan Jing, Li Xiang and others even thought that Ye Qing's move was a bit self-conscious, there were many disputes between the Jin people and the Xia Kingdom back then, but in the end, the two sides won and lost each other, and in the end, no one could help anyone.

The Jin people couldn't go further based on the three roads of the Hetao, and the Xia people couldn't cross the Yellow River and take advantage of the Jin country, so in their opinion, Ye Qing was completely carried away by the previous victory when he suddenly attacked Xia, and in the end, he would inevitably defeat the Xia realm.

The begging stone martyrs hoped to take advantage of Ye Qing's expedition to summer, and they had no time to take into account the opportunity of Jinan Mansion to immediately lead their troops south, but this move was vetoed by Wan Yanjing shaking his head.

In Wan Yanjing's opinion, it is obviously not the best time at this time, it is better to wait for Ye Qing and Xia Guo to fall into a stalemate and cannot withdraw, or after Ye Qing has consumed most of it, it is easier to attack Song again.

What's more, although Ye Qing is attacking Xia now, Xin Qiji is still staying in Jinan Mansion, this move is obviously to prevent them from going south, so it is far from the best time to take the opportunity to go south to take Song at this time.

"But ......." Wanyan Yongji stroked his chin, and after thinking about it, he was surprised

Humanitarian: "What if Ye Qing really wins in Xia Kingdom?" ”

"How could it be ......?" Wan Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face instantly froze on his face.

"Holy Lord, this is very likely." The begging stone spirits saluted and said: "At the beginning, the Xia Kingdom poured 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress Ye Qing, but it was unsuccessful, but now Ye Qing is taking advantage of this high morale and greater fighting spirit to attack Xia, and it is very likely that he will win." Maybe he won't be able to eat Xia Guo in one bite, and he will fall into a stalemate with Xia Guo after the war drags on, but at the beginning, with Ye Qing's cunning and scheming mentality, he will definitely achieve remarkable results. Therefore, the last general thought that if we sent troops at this moment, it would inevitably cause turmoil to Ye Qing's rear, and in this way, Ye Qing would inevitably not be able to concentrate on the war in the Xia Kingdom, and would inevitably be distracted from the ...... of Jinan Mansion. ”

"Isn't that a wedding dress made with the Xia people? Or do you have any benefits from the Xia people, and you can't help the Xia people at this time? Li Xiang sneered and said: "Shengshang, the minister thinks that now we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, no matter who wins or loses, it is quite beneficial to us, and now we can rest assured to watch Ye Qing and Xia Guo eat dogs, instead of sending troops south, in order to help the Xia people break the siege." ”

"Whether it is to stay the army or go south to take the Song ......." Wan Yan Yongji glanced at Wan Yan Jing, who was silent, and after pondering for a while, he said, "If it is...... The saint has no intention of going south now, and perhaps we can also look to the west ....... ”

"What does Uncle Huang mean......?" Wan Yan Jing's heart suddenly moved, interrupting Wan Yan Yongji's words and asked eagerly.

"Yes, I think that the three roads of the Hetao may be our preferable point. But...... Before that, the Holy Lord can consider sending envoys to the Xia Kingdom first, as long as we reach an alliance with them, in this way, to contain Ye Qing in the land of the Xia Realm, in this way, we can not only recapture the land of the three roads of the Hetao, but also ...... Put Ye Qing to death, and plot against Jingzhao Mansion, Guanshan and other places? Wan Yan Yongji looked at Wan Yan Jing, and the corners of his mouth gradually revealed a touch of sinister and said.

"As long as Song Ting doesn't have Ye Qing......." The begging stone god slave muttered in deep thought, "When the time comes, it will almost be equivalent to that we will be able to recover all the lost territory without much effort. Only now in the Song Dynasty court, only Ye Qing is a threat to us, and when Yue Fei attacked and disturbed us, the rest of us were not afraid. ”

"In this way, isn't it another situation of joining forces to set up leaves, but ...... There must be no more failures. Wan Yan Jing didn't know what she remembered, and her expression instantly became a little interested.

Seeing Wan Yan Jing like this, the main hall, including Wan Yan Yongji, Qi Shilie Gods and Slaves and others, was stunned for a short time, and then understood what Wan Yan Jing's scruples were.

As the so-called once bitten by a snake and afraid of the well rope for ten years, the battle of Guanshan originally seemed to be a matter of nine out of ten, but no one thought that the matter of nine out of ten was a big joke in the end, making Xia and Jin both become the "victims" who stole chickens instead of eating rice.

In the battle of Guanshan, the Xia Kingdom lost the backyard portal Guanshan Fortress, so that Ye Qing could no longer enter and leave the Xia Kingdom without any restrictions, and their Jin people suffered heavy losses.

Wan Yan Jing, who was unwilling, had to go to Jingzhao Mansion in person, wanting to build the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly Chen Cang, but in the end, not only did he break the Hetao Three Roads and fall into Ye Qing's hands, but also paid a lot of money, even including a large number of treasures plundered from the Song court back then.

The Xia people also paid a huge price of money to make peace between the two for more than a year, and now Ye Qing has obviously secretly prepared everything, otherwise, with his old scheming, how could he choose to attack Xia by himself at this time.

With Wan Yan Jing's words: We must not fail again, the entire hall instantly fell into a silent atmosphere, especially the begging stone martyrs and gods, at this moment, their faces felt even hotter, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

After all, the fact that he was intimidated by Ye Qing during the battle of Guanshan now seems to be the biggest humiliation in his life.

"Ye Qing's attack on Xia is obviously impossible to end in a short period of time, Saint, the minister thinks that no matter what, we should try again, and we must not sit still like this. So...... The ministers thought that we might as well continue to send envoys to Lin'an and Xingqing again, and if they were willing, we would be considered half the success, and then we would discuss what to do next according to the situation. Wan Yan Yongji glanced at the embarrassed begging stone lie god slave, and then said as if he was relieving him.

"The last general will not disappoint the saint this time." The begging stone spirits clenched their fists hatefully, and at this moment, he felt as if everyone's eyes were on him in the main hall, and the feeling of being both embarrassed and like a man's back was really uncomfortable.

"Uncle Huang has full authority to deal with this matter." Wan Yan Jing took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind to say.
