Chapter 308: The Bottom Line

Rizuma's smile froze on his face.

The air suddenly became dull, and Changsun Hong looked at a Ruyi on Li Zong's desk, closed his mouth and stopped talking, as if waiting.

He deliberately mentioned Meng Heng.

Although I know that the mention of this name will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Rinzong.

But he still has to bring it up, he wants to see what Li Zong's heart is planning.

We also have to take a look at what kind of emperor this emperor is, the collapse of the Southern Song Dynasty for many years, is it the reason for Jia Yidao or the reason for Li Zong.

After a brief moment of stunnedness, Rizumi's eyes narrowed.

"Lord Eldest Sun, are you familiar with General Meng and me?"

He asked, seemingly casually.

"When fighting against Mongolia on the fourth road of Sichuan Gorge, Lord Meng garrisoned Jinghu, if he hadn't laid a solid defensive line north of Gongzhou, so that we had no worries, western Sichuan would never have been able to hold out for so long." Meng Heng raised his head and said slowly: "The situation at that time was really very serious, and the other generals were afraid to avoid it and run away. And General Meng, but against the current, all his strength to help, strategizing, decisive victory, such a general, Weichen admires very much, as for familiarity, it is not to talk about it, we are thousands of miles apart, where can we have the opportunity to be familiar. ”

"Oh, so to speak, it's God's hand." Li Zong's face softened a little, nodded and said: "Lord Changsun doesn't have to care, military generals fighting on the battlefield are all duty, such as generals like Meng Hui, there are many more in the Great Song Dynasty, if Dali can stand side by side with the Great Song Dynasty in the future, such a character, the eldest grandson can still see a lot." ”

"A thousand armies are easy to get, but one will be hard to find, Your Majesty, this sentence actually has the following, what it says is that the general can be obtained but the handsome cannot be found." Changsun Hong said with a smile: "Martial arts are everywhere, but those who can command thousands of troops are said to be handsome, and handsome talents are not available in ten thousand, if the Great Song Dynasty really has many characters like Meng Hui, then Weichen wants to congratulate Your Majesty, go north and south, wave your hand and retreat." ”

The corners of Li Zong's mouth twitched, he was a little confused, what did Changsun Hong mean?

He is a smart man, and he is also very good at observing words and feelings, and he has kept a low profile under the shadow of Shi Miyuan for ten years, if he was not smart, he would have been ousted a long time ago.

But he couldn't see what this barbarian was trying to say.

What Changsun Hong said, faintly pointed, it was by no means a casual chat, he abruptly mentioned Meng Heng, to persuade himself not to cut the power of military generals?

He's a foreign minister, what's the good of saying that?

Could it be that there is something between Dali and Meng Hui?

Li Zong stared at the face of the eldest grandson, and his eyes looked cold.

It is taboo for foreign vassals to make friends with military generals.

"Lord Eldest Sun is right, the Great Song Dynasty Wentao is strategic, there are many talents, although the north is strong, but he has repeatedly gone south, which time has he not retreated back in disgrace?" Li Zong touched the jade Ruyi with his hand and knocked it in his palm.

"That being the case, Weichen is courageous, and there is a plan to offer to Your Majesty, so as to forever solve the trouble of the north!" Eldest Sun Hong became excited, arched his hands and said loudly.

Li Zong was speculating, and was startled by the sudden loud voice of the eldest grandson, and couldn't help frowning: "The trouble of the Yongjue Beiyu? ”

"Exactly!"

"Let's hear it." Li Zong was a little unconvinced.

How can this matter be so easy, the Jin State occupied the second capital and abducted the second emperor, for so many years, the Great Song Dynasty can't get back this face, you are a barbarian, how can you have such a big breath, one mouth will always be the trouble of the northern captives, bragging.

But it's inconvenient not to listen, so let's listen to it.

"Weichen is willing to use the soldiers of Dali to pour the country, choose its elite, strengthen its armor, follow the Great Song Dynasty to the north, take the land of Henan, go straight to the desert grassland, Yaowu Great Wall, drink the Yellow River, recover the Central Plains royal land, and promote the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty!" The eldest grandson Hong straightened up and gave an impassioned speech: "The Great Song Dynasty has good generals, as long as you move a few town marshals who are in charge of the army, you will definitely be able to chase the Tartars in the north, and you will always be in trouble in the north!" ”

Li Zong was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he looked at the righteous Changsun Hong with a smile and a little crying.

Isn't this guy stupid?

If we can really win against the Mongols, we will lose so badly last time?

I said that the Great Song Dynasty has many talents, but it's just an excuse to fool you, are you still serious?

"This ...... Soldiers, the most important weapons of the country, must not be moved. Li Zong took a breath and had a headache: "The eldest grandson's concern for the country is commendable, but this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, and it cannot be agreed on for a while, okay, I am a little tired, let's stop here today, the eldest grandson has something to do in the future, you can directly come to the palace, I will give you a box, no need to go through the cumbersome procedures outside." ”

A eunuch answered and handed Changsun Hong a delicate wooden box with black lacquer and gold thread, rectangular, just enough to fit a scroll.

On the lid of the box, four cinnabar red characters are printed with "The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty", indicating that this is something in the palace.

Changsun Hong took it and respectfully held it in his hand, he knew the weight of this wooden box, this kind of box, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military no more than thirty people have, only the emperor thinks it is worthy, will reward one, put the text of the book in it, you don't need to go through the secretary and supervisor, directly to the palace, put it on the desk of Li Zong, it is equivalent to having the right to heaven.

How many people want it but can't get it, Changsun Hong easily has one.

Of course, Changsun Hong knows very well that this thing is not for him personally, but for Dali.

Li Zong hopes to use this box to strengthen the connection with Dali and tie Dali to the chariot of the Great Song Dynasty a little more firmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." In the voice of the eldest grandson Hong's thanksgiving, Rizong got up and left.

The eunuch led the eldest grandson Hong, walked out of the Chongwen Palace, and came outside.

The people of the Ministry of Rites were still waiting outside, and then Changsun Hong, returned the same way, and returned to the north gate of the imperial city.

Jiulong Angde and other barbarian generals had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw him come out, they led the horse over, waited for him to ride up, and ran back to the Gusu Post House together.

As usual, the forbidden army opened the road, and the people of the Ministry of Rites were delayed, and there were many pedestrians on the road, and they were slow all the way.

Jiulong Onde got closer, and he asked, "Ghost King, what did the emperor of the Song Dynasty say?" ”

Changsun Hong's mind just happened to go through the words of Li Zong silently, and when he asked, he said with a smile: "It's easy to say small things, but it's good not to say big things." ”

"Huh?" Kowloon Onde was stunned for a moment.

Changsun Hong didn't let him be stunned for long, and then explained: "The emperors of the Song Dynasty agreed very simply to open the field and trade, and these have no conflict with him, and he is happy to be a favor." ”

"That's good." Kowloon Onde was happy: "These are all beneficial to Dali, it is our big thing, why does the ghost king say that it is not good to say big things?" ”

"Making money is a big deal, but it's nothing compared to survival." Changsun Hong sighed and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, only to find that the time was almost noon, and he had stayed in the palace for so long.

"Emperor Lizong, it seems that he has become stubborn, and he can't turn back no matter what." He said softly, only Jiulong beside him could hear it: "I tried my words, and I could easily hear that his precautions against military generals have been put on the height of the country's survival, and he would rather abolish a meritorious general than raise a warlord with a big tail, he doesn't believe in military generals, and he is unwilling to let military generals sit big." ”

Jiulong Angde listened carefully, and couldn't help but say: "Ghost King, but a war requires a military general to lead the troops, how can he fight if he is so worried?" ”

"So, he'd rather spend money to get rid of the disaster." Changsun Hong shook his head and glanced back, the huge and tall gatehouse of the imperial city was still in the distance of the straight street, towering in his field of vision: "The Great Song Dynasty has money, spending some money is nothing." ”

"But......" Kowloon Angde thought for a while, and was a little puzzled: "The greed of robbers is endless, how can the peace obtained by taking money last long?" ”

Changsun Hong pursed his lips and didn't answer, but just looked at the shiny iron armor of the forbidden army soldier who opened the way in front of him, and looked at it far-reachingly.

Horses stepped on Xiang Street, leaving the sound of hooves all the way.

The group returned to the post house, kicked off the horse, and the eldest grandson Hong was about to enter the door, but was stopped by Kowloon Onde.

Kowloon Onde pointed to the side of the gate, a sturdy horse tied to the horse pile, and said softly: "Ghost King, someone is coming." ”
