Chapter 452: Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Song Huizong's face became worse and worse, not because he had a problem with his body, but because he was annoyed. In fact, he knew that everyone would oppose the alliance with the Jin State to jointly resist the Liao State, and what everyone said was not what he was worried about, but his wish was to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun is not only his wish, but also the wish of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, and the last wish of Emperor Taizu. Even if Emperor Taizong failed to attack Liao and almost lost his life, he still had a lot of helplessness in his heart.
Now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, how can Song Huizong miss it. Even if it's at risk, so what. Everything is a risk and an opportunity, but it depends on how to control it. If it was the previous Great Song Dynasty, perhaps just like the voice of opposition, it was really a problem to raise tigers.
The current Great Song is no longer the Great Song of the past, and he is not the mediocre and incompetent Song Huizong. If you have an opportunity, you have to take it. If you miss it, you won't come back, even if the Great Song Dynasty doesn't ally with the Jin State, then the Jin State will definitely form an alliance with other countries.
At that time, the situation was even more unfavorable, so why not take this opportunity and beat the water dogs. Liao and Jin competed with each other, and even if the Great Song Dynasty formed an alliance, it was just a contribution, and at that time, it was still possible to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
The problem that everyone is worried about, how could Song Huizong not know, many factors are included, he knows that there is only half of the opportunity, even if it is only half, he must do his best to make the opportunity to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun even greater, and he will never miss it.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tiger mountains!
Zhao Ji gambled again, and gambled with the Great Song Dynasty. If he wins, then he will fulfill his wish, and then he can face the ancestors of the past generations even if he dies; If he loses, then he will bear all the sins and become the emperor spurned by future generations.
In order to fulfill his last wish, even if it is broken bones, he will not hesitate to do so!
At the beginning, Zhao Gou was also like Zheng Juzhong, and he was also opposed to this. Even if I know more about the inside story, I am still apprehensive. In his opinion, it is better for the two to reap the benefits of the fisherman if they do not help each other. Because the Liao State is weak, it is still enough for the Jin State to drink a pot.
Afterwards, Zhao Gou thought about it again, and finally understood that Song Huizong was gambling again. Since it is an extraordinary period, then it is an extraordinary thing, Zhao Gou understands and understands, then he will do what Zhao Ji wants, and then fulfill his wishes, which is also his expectation, and the two coincide.
"Your Excellency, that's wrong!" In the quiet hall, Zhao Gou's voice was like a bell, deafening. Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhao Gou, only to see him continue: "I have something I want to ask Lord Zheng and all of you!" ”
"His Royal Highness the King of the County, please speak!" Zheng Juzhong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied.
Zhao Gou said: "May I ask if Master Zheng has been on it?" ”
"Never!" Zheng Juzhong shook his head and replied, thinking, "Why is the king of the county asking this?" ”
"Have you ever heard the phrase 'know yourself and your enemy'?" Zhao Gou asked again.
"Naturally, I've heard of it!" Zheng Juzhong is well-read, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, astronomy and geography, etc., there are also military books. Even if he has never been on the battlefield, he still reads some because of the hobby of readers. Otherwise, how can there be the saying 'on paper'.
Zhao Gou nodded and said, "As Lord Zheng said before, Emperor Taizong's conquest of the Liao State was defeated, and there was the Lanyuan Alliance. Then may I ask Master Zheng, you know this sentence, and you should understand the meaning of this sentence. Could it be that Lord Zheng thought that the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty was weaker than that of the Liao State? ”
"Could it be that Lord Zheng forgot that Emperor Taizong and now there has been a hundred years of separation, and for a hundred years, the Great Song Dynasty has developed rapidly, but the Liao State is weak, and the other is long, and it is impossible to be defeated. Nowadays, the Song Dynasty and the opposition are clear, and there are no more people who are corrupt and bribery, and use power for personal gain. Even if there are still some, so what, it is no longer possible to shake the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"The Great Song Dynasty competes with the Liao State, and there are no worries! Moreover, what has happened in the Great Song Dynasty in recent years, how do Liao and Jin know about it? If they know what happened in the Great Song Dynasty, they can only say that the Great Song Dynasty has traitors and traitors seeking glory! ”
"If the current tranquility and peace are really peaceful, what Lord Zheng said before would be really ridiculous. If Lord Zheng is rude, you might as well go to the border and see how the people are there. 'A man who has no foresight must have near-term sorrows, and is born in sorrow and dies in peace!' ’”
"If the lords of the court and Lord Zheng think that they are content with the current peace and do not think of danger in peace, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty is really in danger, so what should we do? If you wait until that time to resist, who will be responsible for the losses caused? Master Zheng, are you willing to take on this responsibility! ”
"I'm ......" Zheng Juzhong was speechless, his face flushed, and he couldn't say anything. Because what Zhao Gou said was exactly what he learned in books, and the phrase of being prepared for danger in times of peace also shocked him, and directly told him to shut up.
Zhao Gou ignored Zheng Juzhong, looked at Deng Xunwu again, and said in a deep voice: "This sentence is also suitable for what Lord Deng said before!" ”
"Lord Deng knows that the Jin State is stronger than the Liao State, so it is a fact that Liao will die. If the Jin State destroys the Liao State, you also think that the Jin State is the same as the Liao State, and it will start to encroach on the heart of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that Lord Deng has ever thought about it, and this alliance with the Great Song Dynasty has really seen the power of Jin Bing. ”
"Similarly, the strength of the Great Song Dynasty is also well known to the Jin State, so in that way, in the battle against the Liao army, our army must let the Jurchens see greatly, so that they still dare to encroach on the Great Song Dynasty? Because there is no fear when they come, they are bound to have no return! ”
"The Great Song Dynasty paid taxes and tribute to the Liao State every year, do you think this is really reasonable? You think it's reasonable, but I, Zhao Go, don't agree. I am a big country in the Song Dynasty, and there is a rich land, and there are generals who have experienced a hundred battles, and there are wise and martial ministers, and the Jin State and even the Liao State are far superior! ”
"Why have you been oppressed by the Liao State, if the Jin State is strong, it will inevitably be the same as the Liao State, in that case, will the Great Song Dynasty continue like this, you are willing! Don't think that if there is an alliance of the Yuanyuan, you think that the Liao Lord did not invade the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was just too busy to take care of himself and did not think about it. ”
"Your lords are the ministers of the humerus of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are the talents of the pillars, why it has been difficult to resist foreign enemies, it is because the people in the court are not aligned. The main battle, the battle between the Lord and the two factions, don't you feel that you should be more bitter about the enemy at this time? ”
Zhao Gou's words were like a dusk drum and morning bell, he didn't save the slightest face, his words were sharp, and he was even more satirical about the factional disputes between the DPRK and China, and those ministers who did not have the heart to be prepared for danger in times of peace were scolded by Zhao Gou fiercely, even if it was not aimed at a certain person, it still made everyone silent.
Although Zhao Gou is young, these words are very reasonable, but what they inherit in their bones is Confucian culture, and peace is precious, but they don't know that such peace is just an illusion, Zhao Gou is to let these people recognize the reality, truly unite together, don't wait until the crisis arises to know regret, it is useless to say anything at that time.
