Seeing Yue Peng's expression, Liu Yong knew that the political situation was very bad. He lay on the recliner, looked at Yue Peng with his eyes down, and said, "Let's talk about it, has the imperial court been in a mess recently?"

"Father is right." Yue Peng replied.

"There is a war with Mongolia," Liu Yong's voice was a little frozen.

"It's a war." Yue Peng replied.

Liu Yong let out a long sigh and said quietly, "Hey, this day has finally come."

"Father, you expected that." Yue Peng said.

Liu Yong nodded slightly.

"It's a pity that the saint doesn't stop, but it's useless if he doesn't listen, he's dead." Yue Peng said.

Liu Yong sat up and asked in astonishment, "What's the matter, did he go?"

Yue Peng nodded and said, "This was all last year. ”

Liu Yong closed his eyes and lay down again.

"Father, the Holy One just finished issuing the edict of sin, and then he went before two months." Yue Peng said.

"Well, it's all his fault. It's all his fault," Liu Yong said with a sigh.

"The Holy One admits that it was his own mistakes that led to the Mongols attacking us in the name of justice." Yue Peng said.

Liu Yong asked, "How is the war now?"

Yue Peng said: "The soldiers of the frontier swear to resist to the death, and will never let the Tartars enter the land of our Great Song Dynasty for half a step. ”

"It's useless, it's useless." Liu Yong sighed again and again.

"Father, how could it be useless, now my whole country in the Great Song Dynasty has to go to the front line to resist the Tartars. The Mongol Tartars did not succeed. Speaking of this, Yue Peng looked very excited.

"Yue Peng, do you really think that our Great Song Dynasty can resist the Mongolian Tatars" Liu Yong sat up again, he felt that Yue Peng's mood didn't seem to be very good. At this time, the young man's heart for his family and country had already made him lose control.

"Father, the child believes that as long as our soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty share the same hatred and hatred, we will definitely be able to defeat the Mongol Tartars." As he spoke, Yue Peng also clenched his fists, and his tone was also very passionate.

Liu Yong smiled helplessly.

"Father, don't you believe it" Yue Peng asked in surprise, in his eyes, his father should be a patriotic person. But at this time, when he saw his father's expression, he felt very puzzled.

Liu Yong shook his head and did not speak.

"What does my father mean that our Great Song can't resist the invasion of the Tartars" Yue Peng's words were a little excited, thinking that he didn't believe his eyes. In his imagination, at this time, his father should be as excited and heroic as him, thinking that the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty would definitely defeat the Tartars.

Liu Yong stood up and slowly walked to the window, looking at the deep night sky with his hands raised.

After being silent for a long time, he said lightly: "Peng'er, you have a patriotic heart, this father knows." Father is not patriotic, but let me tell you, the current Great Song Dynasty is not an opponent of Mongolia. Our army is too weak. ”

"Father, how can this battle be fought for more than two years, and that Tartar has not taken any advantage." Yue Peng said excitedly.

Liu Yong nodded, he knew that what Yue Peng said was right. Although the Great Song Dynasty was ultimately defeated by the Mongols. But the military and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty did not disgrace the Han nation. They stubbornly resisted the strong Mongols for several years. You must know that Mongolia at that time was unstoppable. Destroy the surrounding country like a scoop.

It was the Great Song Dynasty that held it back. And for a time made the Mongols suspect that attacking the Great Song Dynasty was a wrong option.

This is undeniable. It is also admirable.

However, failure is failure after all.

"Peng'er, you're right, we can indeed resist the fierce Mongolia, but how long can we resist with just a little heart, you have to see the reality clearly." Liu Yong said.

"Father, do you look down on our Great Song army so much" Yue Peng seemed to be a little anxious.

Liu Yong said lightly, "Peng'er, now is the time for you to go down from the temple." As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Yue Peng.

"Father, how can the child be the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty now, and now the court is worried about internal and external troubles, and the child can't go into the wilderness." Yue Peng said eagerly.

"Peng'er, have you forgotten what your husband once told you" Liu Yong's question was a little harsh.

Yue Peng naturally heard it, and restrained his excitement. He said, "The child has not forgotten. ”

"Then tell your father now." Liu Yong said.

"It's the father, the father once said to the child when the child was the prime minister of the left, the father told the child to go into the wilderness whenever he wanted." Yue Peng replied timidly.

"Just remember. Then what do you say you should do now?" Liu Yong asked.

"Son, child should stand up to his father's words. But at this time, Yue Peng was very reluctant, he was now in the position of the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. He felt a great sense of responsibility. He still wants to serve the country, how can he go into the wilderness

"Don't do it, you do what your father says now." Liu Yong almost gave the order to die.

Yue Peng didn't dare to disobey, so he had to say, "Yes, father." The child knows. ”

Liu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then sighed, "Peng'er, it's not for your father to let you serve the country, it's for your father's good, you can't save the Great Song Dynasty by yourself." Don't forget, you still have Yingying, and Pan'er. They are your wives and daughters, and you can't leave them behind. ”

"Yes, the boy wrote it down." Although he agreed on the side, Mao Dan was 10,000 unwilling in his heart.

"That's good, there you go." After Liu Yong got a positive answer from Yue Peng, he lay back on the recliner.

"It's the father, the child is gone." After Yue Peng finished speaking, he walked towards the door in disappointment, and stopped after walking a few steps.

Liu Yong saw it and asked, "What else do you have to do?"

Yue Peng slowly turned around and said to Liu Yong, "Father, the child promised you to retire from the imperial court, but now there are many things in the imperial court, so let the child find a successor and then retire." ”

Liu Yong thought about it and felt that what Yue Peng said was also right. The major events of the court are not child's play, and it cannot be said that the picker will be picked. Thinking of this, he said, "Okay, but you have to hurry up. It's best to get this done before my next voyage. ”

Yue Peng asked, "But I don't know when my father's next voyage will be."

"Well, probably in seven or eight months," Liu Yong said.

"Father, you also know about this matter in the court, I'm afraid it won't work in seven or eight months, or a year, to say the least." Yue Peng said.

"Why is it so difficult to choose a new prime minister?" Liu Yong was very puzzled.

"Father, it's not that it's difficult to choose a prime minister, but that the child has too much work at hand, and it takes so long to hand it over one by one." Yue Peng said.

"You can do it, anyway, before I leave, you have to solve the problem, and then take your wife and daughter, and go with me." Liu Yong said it to death.
