"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Li Yan just said that he was going to destroy the Jurchen clan on his side, and Li Gang jumped out to make Li Yan think twice.

It is estimated that anyone will be unhappy when faced with such a situation.

Li Yan is no exception.

But in order to maintain his image as a Mingjun, Li Yan still squeezed out a smile, and then asked Li Gang with a pleasant face: "Why did Aiqing say this, but what is inappropriate about my words?" ”

Li Gang really didn't say anything polite to Li Yan, and said bluntly: "What can Your Majesty get after destroying the Jurchens desperately?" ”

"Uh......"

Li Yan was a little speechless for a while.

Li Gang continued: "If there is really a war with the Jin State, the Jurchens will have to scorch the earth to resist in order to defend the country, and all the people will fight, in this case, how many Han people will have to be killed and injured to defeat the Jin State?" The point is that the Northeast is bitterly cold, and it is difficult for us Han people to live there, even if Dazhong really gets it, what is the use? ”

Li Yan wanted to say, "The Northeast is not as unbearable as you said, it is also a treasure land, there is rich in materials, it is an important timber and mineral production base, it contains rich wildlife resources, where the reserves of oil shale, iron, boron, magnesite, diamond, talc, jade, solvent limestone and other minerals are extremely rich, in addition, there is also the Liaohe Oilfield, oil and natural gas reserves are very rich, by the way, there are three treasures in the Northeast, ginseng, mink, deer antler (Wula grass). ”

But when the words came to his mouth, Li Yan swallowed the words back, because in this era, the resources are too rich, it is really not worse than the Northeast, and the resources are far less important than in later generations, so no one takes a fancy to the resources, as for the Three Treasures of the Northeast, if Li Yan wants it, as long as he is willing to negotiate peace with Jin Guo, he wants as much as he wants.

Then don't talk about the usefulness of the national gold, only talk about hatred with the gold country?

It doesn't make sense.

Be.

The Jin people invaded south, hateful.

But the Jin people invaded the Northern Song Dynasty, not Dazhong.

Therefore, Dazhong and Jin Guo actually have no hatred, that is, there is hatred and hatred, and it is also the Jin people who hate Dazhong, because Dazhong slaughtered countless Jin people and castrated more than 10,000 Jurchens to be sent to mining.

Therefore, none of these can be an excuse for Li Yan and Jin Guo to fight to the end.

Actually-

Li Yan knows all these things that Li Gang said.

Just now, Li Yan said that he killed the Jurchens, but he was in a hurry, but Li Yan didn't like the sentence "never die" that Yan Chang said.

Unexpectedly, Li Gang took this seriously.

Now Li Yan didn't know how to pick it up, so he could only say: "The side of the couch will not allow others to sleep soundly." ”

But what Li Yan never expected was that this also made Li Gang no.

Li Gang said: "If the Jin people are driven out of the Great Wall, it will not be the Jin Kingdom on the side of our Dazhong couch, but the Xia Kingdom and the Song Kingdom." ”

Li Yan was swallowed by Li Gang and was really speechless, and said in his heart: "No wonder so many people can't stand Li Gang and can't stand this kind of direct minister." ”

Li Gang continued: "Take a step back and say, even if Your Majesty wants to follow the example of Han Wu and Tang Sect to unify the world, you should first map Shu land, Qin get Shu land, and appoint Li Bing and his son to control the water, so that the perennial flood disaster of Shu land has become fertile land for thousands of miles, since then the Qin State has solved the food problem, due to the continuous supply of food in Shu, Qin destroyed the six eastern countries and unified the world, Han Zu got Shu, took advantage of the unique material advantages of Shu, in the Chu and Han conflicts, destroyed Xiang Yu in one fell swoop, and established the Han Dynasty that had been established for more than 400 years, Song Zu got Shu, with Shu as a springboard, as a granary, successively destroyed the rich Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue and other countries in the south, ended the war, and established the Song Dynasty, and if His Majesty can get Shu, he can go down the river to destroy the Song State, first north and then south, which is tantamount to going from south to north, and the most important thing is that it will delay the great opportunity for His Majesty to dominate the world. ”

"You!"

Li Yan made Li Gang speechless.

In the end, Li Yan could only flick his sleeves and leave in a huff.

This is a small meeting that only the minister can participate in, and those who can participate, except for Ma Kuo, are all characters who can sway their feet three times when they stomp their feet, and all of them are Li Yan's humerus ministers.

And it is precisely because there are no outsiders that Li Yan speaks so casually, which leads to this situation now.

Seeing that Li Yan was angry with Li Gang, Tang Ke couldn't help but say: "The official family is just a joke for a while, why are you still serious and still stand up to the official family?" ”

Li Gang said with a solemn expression: "You have no jokes, how can the emperor be frivolous, and Tang Zuocheng, if others say this, it's okay, how can you say this, have you forgotten, how did the Northern Song Dynasty die?" ”

Under the deliberate propaganda of the Propaganda Department of Dazhong, the responsibility for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was all borne by Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son.

Therefore, in the eyes of the current Dazhong people, Zhao Ji is frivolous, discouraged, and extravagant, while Zhao Huan is indecisive and cowardly, and it is precisely because of their father and son who misled the country that the Northern Song Dynasty died.

Of course, the fact is that this is indeed the case, the Propaganda Department of Dazhong just exaggerated it a little, covering up some of the national conditions of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, such as not cultivating military equipment, natural disasters, frequent civil strife, etc. (in fact, these national conditions were also caused by Zhao Ji), the purpose is naturally to tell the world that Zhao Song has no virtue and should die, and Li Zhong replaces Zhao Song is in accordance with the will of heaven.

Zhao Huan won't talk about it, the main thing is incompetence.

As for Zhao Ji's evaluation, the most famous sentence at present is the evaluation of Zhang Dun, the prime minister of Zhezong: King Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world.

Therefore, as soon as Li Gang said this, Tang Ke was immediately scolded back by Li Gang.

Chen Gongfu then said: "Boji, what you said is serious, Your Majesty is wise and wise, open-minded and generous, knows people well, and is happy to use people. ”

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty is only thirty-six this year, Dazhong has not yet ruled the world, and everything has not yet been finalized. ”

Chen Gongfu was speechless when he heard this.

Seeing this, Wen Huanzhang said: "Li Youcheng's words are good, Dazhong is still a long way from unification, so not only the official family, but we must not slack off." ”

Zhao Ding, Xu Guanzhong and others heard this, and said in unison: "We will strictly follow Dazai's teachings. ”

Although Wen Huanzhang is still in the name of prime minister, he does not fight for power, or even govern, he is more about maintaining Li Yan's imperial power and shaping the atmosphere of Dazhong officialdom.

Moreover, Wen Huanzhang likes to promote capable officials, and he also likes to coordinate for all parties - no matter which party has a problem that cannot be solved between which party, he will first find Wen Huanzhang to coordinate, and if it really can't work, he will ask Li Yan to come out to referee.

In addition, Wen Huanzhang's qualifications and merits in Dazhong.

Dazhong officials, regardless of martial arts, all respect this old prime minister, even Zhao Ding, who has been suppressed by Wen Huanzhang, is no exception.

This also includes Li Gang, who was also impressed by Wen Huanzhang's character.

Therefore, seeing Wen Huanzhang speak, Li Gang bowed to Wen Huanzhang, and then explained: "Your Majesty wants Li Gang to become a minister like Wei Zheng, then Your Majesty must also have the same mind as Tang Taizong." ”

At this moment, everyone understood what Li Gang meant, and without it, it was just a matter of testing Li Yan's mind, that is, he, Li Gang, was going to run in with Li Yan, the Ming Jun.

At this moment, the eunuch came in, and then said to Li Gang: "Li Youcheng takes the order." ”

Li Gang listened to the words, bowed respectfully, and said, "Minister Li Gang accepts the order." ”

The eunuch said: "Pass on Your Majesty's dictation, and Li Gang, the right man of Shangshu, will be fully responsible for the matter of negotiating peace with Jin Guo, in addition, Your Majesty asked our family to tell Li Youcheng in the same words, 'Give you three days off, and within these three days, I don't want to see you!'" ’”
