Just after secretly making up his mind to rectify the dynasty for Song Huizong, Zhao Shu's determination began to waver a little. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no other reason, from the first dynasty of Huizong to the period of Xuanhe, in fact, various domestic contradictions in the Song Dynasty have intensified to a certain extent. First of all, Song Huizong had to follow the advice of Cai Jing in the court, and he had to do something to do with the flowers, and he wasted all kinds of things, making the treasury empty, the people's excessively heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes were extremely serious, and the government oppressed the people and made the people miserable, which led to the uprising of Song Jiang and Fang La in the south.

It can be said that at this time, the Northern Song Dynasty had almost no combat effectiveness except for the western army that guarded the northwest frontier of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Zhulu of Shaanxi. Gao Yu was in charge of the forbidden army, and privately occupied the land of the forbidden army and used it to make workshops, and the soldiers of the forbidden army were usually negligent in training, and their daily task was only to help Gao Yu produce all kinds of messy things like ceramics and wooden tools.

Moreover, since Wang Anshi changed the law during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the new party and the old party in the imperial court have been fighting endlessly, in fact, most of them are just for their own private interests. Like Cai Jing, when Wang Anshi was there, he defected to the new party, Wang Anshi was suppressed, the new party fell, and Cai Jing took refuge in the old party. The two parties are fighting to the death, and with the exception of a few enlightened ministers, most of the courtiers have turned a deaf ear to the interests of the country for their own interests.

Like Tong Guan is like this, the later Tong Guan repeatedly insisted on signing a maritime alliance with Dajin, and Lianjin to destroy Liao, the reason is that when Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty was in power, he had two northern expeditions to the sixteen states of Youyun as a barrier in the Central Plains, all of which ended in failure, and then issued a decree to promise that anyone who could recover the sixteen states of Youyun for the Great Song Dynasty would be crowned prince. The so-called Jun has no jokes, not to mention that it is the first emperor, Song Huizong must not be violated, so Tong Guan is the one who went to the Northern Expedition to the Liao State in an attempt to recapture the sixteen states of Youyun in response to the promise made by Song Taizong, of course, these are all later words.

The country has panicked to this extent, it can be said that it is crumbling, the building is about to collapse, Zhao Shu feels that he does not have the ability to help Song Huizong save the country, but he does have this determination.

"Shu'er, what are you thinking? Your father asked you something, you are too rude! Seeing that Zhao Shu had been pondering, Song Huizong didn't hear Zhao Shu's question about Zhao Shu just now, Queen Xiansu glanced at Zhao Shu and said.

Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment, before he came back to his senses from this hesitation and decision, looked at Song Huizong with straight eyes, and then reacted, bent down and apologized: "Father, queen mother, forgive sin, son-in-law thought of something, so he was distracted, so that his father's words were not heard." ”

It seems that Song Huizong's mood today is exceptionally good, Song Huizong waved his hand and smiled: "That's it, that's it." Shu'er, my father is asking you, you are going to Zhao'an, you have never asked me for the official report about the Liangshan thieves, the soldiers have a saying: know yourself and know the enemy, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, do you have already done this? ”

It's over, I don't know how to prevaricate Song Huizong's words now, Zhao Shu's eyes turned around, and said: "Father Qi, my son knows a little bit about it." As early as when the Liangshan thieves gathered to make a mess and the officials and troops were fighting with them, the ministers began to pay attention to it, so the ministers did not dare to say that they were full of the Liangshan thieves, but they also knew a little about it. ”

"Oh?" Song Huizong was surprised, he didn't believe that Zhao Shu, who had been studying hard, would pay attention to these things, although Zhao Shu's performance in the past two months had impressed him, and then said: "Then you tell me about this Liangshan thief?" ”

As soon as Song Huizong finished asking, Zhao Shu felt a sigh in his heart, saying that although in later generations, the TV series of "Water Margin" was watched no less than three times, and the novel was also read twice, and the plot was already ripe, but after all, there is still a big difference between novels and history.

Too lazy to care, Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and said: "In the winter of the second year of Chonghe, Chao Gai and others gathered to kill the Liangshanbo bandits, and then entrenched in Liangshanbo, and at first they had no intention of going against the imperial court. Later, Chao Gai died, and Song Jiang sat on the leader of the bandits in Liangshan, saying that "for Tianxingdao" led his troops to attack the government, killing the officials and soldiers to repeatedly resist the imperial court......"

When Zhao Shu said this, he was stopped by Song Huizong waving his hand, and said: "I want to ask you if you know the specific situation of the Liangshan thief Kou at the moment, and the court you are talking about is already known to everyone. ”

Zhao Shu pursed his lips, he wanted to roughly recite the plot of "Water Margin" to Song Huizong about the attack on Gaotang Prefecture, it seems that he doesn't eat this, Zhao Shu continued: "At present, since the Liangshan thieves attacked my Gaotang Prefecture, there are one hundred and eight generals under my command, of which thirty-six are the most outstanding. Moreover, some of these people are the descendants of the founding ministers, such as Hu Yanzhuo, who are the descendants of Hu Yanzan, the famous general of the founding of this dynasty; Chai Jin, after the Later Zhou royal family Chai Rong, his ancestors had the merit of the Taizu Emperor of this dynasty, Yang Zhi, according to rumors, this person is the descendant of the famous general of the Later Han Dynasty and the founding general of the Yang family, Yang Lao Linggong; Some are people in the official palace of this dynasty, but they are in trouble with Liangshan Song Jiang and others, such as: Guan Sheng, who was inspected by Pudong, captured by Hu Yanzhuo, and later joined Song Jiang; Lin Chong, formerly the head of the Bianjing Forbidden Army; Qin Ming, a member of the former Qingzhou Command Division; Zhu Quan, who was originally the head of the Yuncheng patrol horsemen; Dong Ping, formerly the governor of Dongping Prefecture; Zhang Qing is a famous general under the command of Dongchang Mansion; Xu Ning, originally a ......."

When Zhao Shu said this, he obviously saw a twitch on Song Huizong's face, and his originally joyful face became a little gloomy, and at this time, Zhao Shu suddenly remembered..... Xu Ning? When he first crossed over to the Song Dynasty, the head of the Golden Gun Class who escorted him back to the palace was Xu Ning, and the head of the Golden Gun Class recorded in the Water Margin was Xu Ning.

It's just that Zhao Shu feels that he can't say this anymore, after all, the Golden Gun Class is the pro-honor guard rate of the Northern Song Dynasty royal family, and the head of the pro-army in front of the emperor all followed the high-ranking officials Houlu, and actually followed a group of Liangshan thieves to fall into the grass, and Song Huizong's mood could be better. Song Huizong suppressed the fire in his heart and continued: "It seems that you already know a lot about the Liangshan thieves. But what do you think of these generals who betrayed the court and were willing to fall into the grass? ”

It seems that Xu Ning's matter has made him very angry, and now he is thinking about how to deal with those people after recruiting them, this is obviously the settlement of accounts after the autumn, fortunately I am witty, Zhao Shu thought so, and then said with the classic lines in those costume TV series filmed in later generations: "Father, please forgive the sons: these generals who have fallen into the grass are investigated by the sons and daughters in many ways, mostly because of the oppression of their bosses or Song Jiang's strategies, not their own intentions, their martial arts talents are not inferior to the generals of the Western Army, but they are deeper than the mainland, not at the border passes, good horses are useless, and there is no good horse, Therefore, its talent can not be displayed, and Liangshan gathered thousands of people under his command, and the officials and soldiers of all roads were in vain, which shows that his talent is extraordinary. What's more, the king has no jokes, since the father wants to recruit peace, and then kills him, how can the father believe in the world? Therefore, in the humble opinion of the sons, after recruiting An, he stayed in front of the battle to serve! ”
