Chapter 283: Pull up your henchmen and walk on the road of betraying Northern Liao (two more in one)
Chapter 283
It's a pity that it's winter, even if Wang Yang can't wait to tear down all those old houses on the day he gets the title deed, he only picks his fingers and slowly waits for the spring to come, but this does not prevent him from starting to imagine what kind of courtyard he should design in his mind.
Designer Wang, who has visited countless ancient Chinese gardens and collected the culmination of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign architectural art modeling, naturally cannot get a tube building with a turtle to live.
Rather, it adopts a classical architectural model that is not only in line with the aesthetic design concept of the Chinese national characteristics. However, the design work is by no means easy, and the important thing is that although Wang Yang has visited and admired countless famous garden buildings in later generations, the problem is that they are hundreds of acres of land.
Therefore, Wang Yang can only display his design concepts and talents in a limited space, which is the most exquisite place for him, a design master.
However, Wang Yangna had been thinking in his mind for most of the hour, and finally had a hint of inspiration, and when he mentioned the charcoal pen and was about to fall on the rice paper, he heard footsteps outside the door, and Tong Guan, a dead eunuch, appeared outside the door.
"I said, old boy, why did you come here?" Even if Wang Yang was not in a beautiful mood, when he saw Liang Shicheng with a flattering smile on his face, he could only put down the dissatisfaction in his heart and reluctantly put down the charcoal pen in his hand.
"Sir, my Royal Highness has set up a family banquet in the palace, and I want to invite Mr. to come over for a gathering......" Liang Shicheng laughed dryly, and after seeing that there was no one outside the house, he came closer and lowered his voice. Your Majesty is here too, but it's not in a good mood......"
Uncle Wang looked at Liang Shicheng with a dog-like expression, what the hell has he become? The little blue pill that can make a man happy can't be made? When I am unhappy, I think of myself. "Let's be straight, did your Highness let me go over for a drink?"
"No, it was His Majesty's invitation...... I'd like to ask my husband to come over and talk about it. Liang Shicheng hurriedly stated after snorting.
"Okay, alas, you show me that teacher, don't let people mess up, I'll come back when I go." Wang Yang only put down the carbon pen, and after a few words of instructions to Master Li, he walked away quickly with Liang Shicheng.

Zhao Xu's mood was indeed not high, but after seeing Wang Yang, he still showed a relatively sunny smile. "Sir came just in time, sit down quickly, I was wondering when Mr. would arrive, and Mr. arrived."
After turning over the cold noise, Wang Yang sat down, first drained a glass of wine, and ate the delicious food of the case.
It turned out that it was because it was already the end of the year, and Da Liao sent an envoy to ask for next year's "New Year's coin", and the small country of Xixia also rushed over, hoping that the Great Song Dynasty would not forget the wealth given to Xixia every year, so that the Son of Heaven was not very happy.
"In the first year of Jingde, although my Great Song Dynasty defeated the Northern Liao, but considering that the national strength was not continued, I had to conclude the 'Lanyuan Alliance' with the general of the defeated army, and agreed to give Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year, and when it came to Renzong......
…… At the end of the summer, I attacked my Great Song Dynasty and could not, suffered heavy casualties, so I called my courtier, and my dynasty gave Xixia 130,000 horses of silk every year, 50,000 taels of silver, and 20,000 catties of tea, and then, in the second year of Renzong's Qingli, he had to increase 120,000 pieces of silver to Liao, and 200,000 horses of silk, and changed it to ......"
Wang Yang sipped a little wine, and together with Zhao Ji, he used a listener's attitude to listen to His Majesty the Emperor, who likes to complain, frantically complaining about the disputes between the Great Song Dynasty and the surrounding countries in the past.
However, complaining is complaining, but at least this Great Song Emperor did not cyanically think that the previous emperors, or his ancestors, had a problem with their practices.
“…… However, after decades of development, our Great Song Dynasty has gradually recovered, and now our Great Song Dynasty has millions of soldiers, but we still have to continue to spend a lot of money in exchange for peace. It really made me feel very ...... in my heart" Speaking of this, Zhao Xu, who was in a very unbeautiful mood, drained the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Your Majesty's feelings, in fact, the younger brother also understands it, but if it weren't for these coins and coins, how could I let the Great Song Dynasty get peace for decades?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but persuade in a low voice.
"I also know this truth, but if you look at the current Great Liao, the political system is corrupt, and the traitorous ministers are in charge of the country, which makes the Northern Liao people complain, isn't this the best time for my Great Song to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun? However, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager and those ministers, they are only willing to continue to spend a lot of money and continue to be peaceful......"
Wang Yang listened to Zhao Xu's complaints, and sure enough, this Great Song Tianzi is also a very angry young man. That's good, I like it, at least young people should be motivated.
However, the wish of this emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is beautiful, but the reality is skinny, at least he really wants to raise an army to crusade against the Great Liao, and if he is not careful, for the Great Song Dynasty, it will hurt his muscles and bones.
In addition, there is another problem that now, the government and the opposition of the Great Song Dynasty have a general consciousness, as if the recovery of Yanyun Ten Prefectures has been a dream several generations ago, and it has little to do with them.
What they want more is to manage their own one-third of an acre of land, well, fight for power, seize profits, get a few more votes, earn a few more, and when it comes to Zhishi, the family has a lot of good land, it will be perfect.
This is why since Emperor Zhirenzong, the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty have always wanted to change the law, that is, they are eager to break the political pattern that has gradually formed since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty and is not thinking about danger, and the Great Song Dynasty is becoming more and more rotten internally.
What kind of person is Wang Yang, to put it mildly, he is a passionate Chinese nationalist, to put it bluntly, this product is an angry youth, and it is also a particularly angry youth.
At first, he was able to keep his sanity and listen to this Great Song Tianzi complaining there, but after hearing it, Wang Da was angry and felt more and more that this Great Song Tianzi was really a special confidant.
Originally, Wang Yang, who just wanted to come over as an audience or an emotional trash can, couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty is reasonable, but Your Majesty has ever thought that if you want to take the sixteen states of Yanyun, you can only think about it slowly, after all, my Great Song Dynasty has been singing and dancing for a long time......"
Sure enough, Wang Yang's expression instantly collapsed when he saw the impulsive young man, and it seemed that what he didn't like to hear the most was this kind of old-fashioned words.
"However, to deal with Northern Liao, you can only use such means as war." Wang Yang's smile was so gentle, and his expression and tone were so calm, but the strong conspiracy flavor that overflowed from his words made Zhao Xu and Zhao Ji stunned.
"Why did Mr. say this, could it be that Mr. Isn't there a plan to deal with Northern Liao here?" And Zhao Ji, the little prince who was out of his heart, couldn't wait to ask.
And Zhao Xu beside him was also staring at Wang Yang with two eyes, his face full of expectation.
“…… Wang has a little idea, but these ideas are not yet fully mature, but to deal with this Northern Liao, in fact, it is nothing more than three means: military, political and economic. Wang Yang never thought that Zhao Ji would ask such a stupid question, and he suddenly received the news that he came here for a drink, and how could it become a discussion of national affairs.
"This military must refer to the fact that the army is pressing the territory and attacking the city, right? So I wonder what kind of political and economic means it is? Zhao Xu couldn't help but be interested, especially what Wang Yang said, which made him feel quite fresh.
"Your Majesty must know about the old things of Su Yi and Zhang Qin during the Warring States Period? When there were three kingdoms, Sun Shun and Liu resisted Cao......"
Wang Yang's eloquence is naturally not covered, and the examples he cites are all famous historical events in history, and the occurrence of these events is all political means.
Wang Yang not only interpreted the political methods of those major events in history in an easy-to-understand way, but also expounded after combining politics and military.
Because politics and military are originally a pair of interdependent twins, the size of military power and the size of political discourse can be said to be closely inseparable, just as Emperor Taizu of New China once said such a wise saying: Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, this is the truth, only by grasping the military initiative, can we grasp the political initiative.
#####
With Wang Yang's eloquence, Zhao Ji, a young man, looked unclear, but it was different in the ears of Zhao Xu, who had been squatting on the court every day to play the mascot since he was a child.
After all, even Zhao Xu can't hold the power yet, but the problem is that he has been a mascot for so many years, as the so-called has never eaten pork, and he has watched pigs run for so many years, so he knows what is going on.
What's more, Wang Yang's explanation is not like those old pedants, who like to drag words and chew words, making people confused, in order to show that their cultural level is unfathomable.
Wang Yang, on the other hand, uses a plain and simple language to explain to Zhao Xu the close connection between politics and military affairs, and the complementarity between the two.
It really made Zhao Xu look bright when he heard it, and his eyebrows danced. Hearing the highlights, Zhao Xu was even able to insert a sentence or two and comment on one or two.
"Listen to your words, better than ten years of reading, today you have to listen to Mr.'s opinions, I know that the ancients are true, as Mr. said, military is an extension of political means, but, between my Great Song Dynasty and Northern Liao, can you also use political means to weaken the opponent?"
"It's nature." Wang Yang wiped the foam from his mouth and nodded very affirmatively. "Your Majesty must also know that Yelu Hongji, the son of heaven in Northern Liao, is a mediocre person, loyal and treacherous, and only knows that he is obsessed with wine, frolicking and hunting, and is absurd in state affairs......
"But Yelu Yixin is the Taishi of Northern Liao after all, and he has nothing to do with my Great Song Dynasty, how can he be willing to obey my Great Song Dynasty's wishes?" Although it was wonderful to listen to, Zhao Xu was still a little sensible.
"Of course he won't listen, because the current Liao Emperor still trusts him, but Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the current Liao Emperor's empress and even the crown prince died at whose hands?"
"In this matter, I have also heard some rumors, which are said to be secretly carried out by the Taishi of Northern Liao...... Such rumors can't be true, right? Zhao Xu replied with a disapproving smile.
Wang Yang reluctantly simply made his words clear. "What kind of Northern Liao does Your Majesty think is the best for my Great Song Dynasty? Is it the Northern Liao that unites from top to bottom? Or is it the Northern Liao with internal instability, intrigue, and suspicion of monarchs and ministers? ”
"Yes, of course...... Of course, it is the internal instability and the Northern Liao, where the monarchs and ministers are suspicious, is the best for my Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Xu looked at Wang Yang in a daze for a long time, and finally came back to his senses.
Wang Yang's words really made Zhao Xu feel a little different, or rather, his words made Zhao Xu understand that in addition to military means, it was really possible to use political means to shake the Northern Liao court.
A picture had already appeared in Zhao Xu's head, and the distrust between Yelu Yixin and Nayelu Hongji had begun, which made the political situation in Northern Liao unstable.
And Yelu Yixin will definitely not be arrested, and will definitely pull up a group of henchmen to go further and further on the road of turning away from Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Northern Liao.
"Great, really good...... If I can really operate it well, maybe it will plunge the entire Northern Liao into chaos, and at that time, I will take advantage of the Great Song Dynasty, or even ......"
Zhao Xu stood up, rubbed his hands, and walked around the room excitedly, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. I felt more and more that Wang Yang, whose voice was already a little hoarse, was really a good material and beautiful jade given by God to the Great Song Dynasty.
It is also the spirit of his father in the sky, an immortal minister sent to him. This made Zhao Xu more and more eager to be able to pro-government as soon as possible. However, when he thought of the Empress Dowager's appearance that she still regarded herself as an immature little child, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a pang of heart.
#####
Seeing Zhao Xu standing there, his expression was worried and happy, melancholy and indignant, Wang Yangyan couldn't understand what the young mascot Tianzi was thinking.
"In fact, Your Majesty doesn't have to be in a hurry, you have to eat one bite at a time, and things need to be done step by step, in fact, the most important thing for Your Majesty now is not to think about how to be pro-government, but because to consider, when you are pro-government, how to behave......"
Seeing that Zhao Xu still didn't seem to understand, Wang Yang rolled his eyes covertly and couldn't help but whisper a reminder. "Your Majesty, although the Empress Dowager is still listening to the government, her old man is getting old after all, and Your Majesty, you are growing up day by day......"
At this moment, Zhao Xu finally came back to his senses, yes, the Empress Dowager is almost sixty years old, and in this era, it can definitely be regarded as a long life.
Even if she is greedy for power, she can still listen to politics for a few years. As for himself, he has not yet married, and there are still decades of good years waiting for him, and when he is pro-government, he can naturally show his strength.
"Yes, thank you for reminding me, I need to think about how to govern the Great Song Dynasty after the pro-government......" Zhao Xu was full of confidence, and clenched his fists with full fighting spirit, as if he had recovered his life after being fooled by Wang Yang.
