When Gao Feng heard this, he didn't say anything, but glanced at Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi with a solemn expression, and asked: "I want to ask the two adults, in the autumn of troubled times, can Wen save the country, or can Wu save the country?" ”

This question was asked suddenly, and Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi were a little inexplicable, but they also knew that Gao Feng was talking about the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that knowing this, the two of them don't dare to make their words clear, and they don't have the confidence to tell the rights and wrongs of the Great Song Dynasty. Yang Bangyi continued: "Wen Anbang and Wu Dingguo, both are indispensable. ”

Qiu Yi nodded, meaning that he also agreed with this point of view. Gao Feng sighed secretly when he saw this.

These two people are both literati, and they can see the general situation that a country is indispensable for both civil and military, and dare to admit it, which shows that the two of them are still honest, but the Great Song Dynasty has a deformed situation of emphasizing literature and light on military force and malnutrition, what does this mean?

It is true that the emperor's fear of military generals has historical reasons, which is why there will be a glass of wine to release military power and squeeze the generals aside. But over the years, the country has suffered so much humiliation, and even the national situation has long been in crisis, why has no one put forward a feasible plan for the state of Wuding?

This thing seems simple, but in fact it is not simple, Gao Feng knows that although Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi can say the words "Wen Anbang and Wu Dingguo", they may not be able to see it.

The Great Song Dynasty was arguably the most democratic society since the beginning of the dynasty. Without the interference of military generals, the status of scholars and doctors was greatly improved, so that the officials and scholars ruled the world together, and to a large extent, it became that the scholars overthrew the emperor, and the emperor had to submit to the opinions of the scholars.

The alliance of the Yuan Dynasty is the masterpiece of the prime minister Kou Zhun, who tried his best to dissuade Song Zhenzong's intention to flee south when the Liao State invaded the Song Dynasty, and forced him to take the imperial expedition in person to supervise the battle in the Yuanyuan. After a contest, the Liao State suffered a loss, so the two sides negotiated peace. Zhenzong told the negotiator Cao Yu the bottom line, a million years of tribute. But when he got out of the palace gate, Kou Zhun threatened Cao Yu and said that if you dare to exceed 300,000, he will cut you.

Cao had no choice but to negotiate desperately, and finally pressed the silver silk tribute to 300,000, thus signing the famous Lanyuan Alliance.

Kou Zhun is a representative of talent and virtue, as well as Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and others, they are in high positions, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, worried about the country and the people, and committed to the national economy and people's livelihood, so that although the country is in trouble, there is no major problem.

However, not all of them are as selfless and high-quality as they are, and many literati who have been immersed in them for hundreds of years have long since lost their character, and they only care about their superior status, and only care about whether their personal interests are satisfied, and the interests of the state and the people are just the rhetoric they put on their lips, and they are the stepping stone for them to seek personal interests and win fame and fortune.

They say what they say is upright, but what they do is filthy, they are sanctimonious, but they are hypocritical and shameless.

They are patriotic for the sake of fame, they are loyal for the sake of profit; They form cliques for selfishness, and they will stop at nothing for the sake of the end; They can ignore the interests of the imperial court, and they can ignore the lives of the people. This is a kind of literati style that has changed its flavor, and it is also the style of scholars that the Great Song Dynasty is accustomed to, and the literati of the Great Song Dynasty have gone to the other extreme.

Once a country has formed a habit, even the emperor can't control the situation, and scholars are a group that even the emperor can't control in the Great Song Dynasty, and its contradictions accumulate and finally broke out in the Yuanyou incident.

The Yuanyou incident was the result of the struggle between the new party and the old party, and eventually evolved into a struggle of will and hatred to eliminate dissent. This is an internal struggle, and it is also a battle of interests that hurts the muscles and bones, and the loss is not only the literati class, but also the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty. The result is that Cai Jing and other thieves have been achieved, so that they will be in power for a while, abuse power and foolish kings, and mislead the country and the people.

Since then, the style of the literati has come to an end, and they have become slaves of power, and it has become a joke if you want them to stand up again to build the Great Song Dynasty.

Corruption in a country begins with the corruption of the bureaucracy, then the judiciary, then the education, and finally the army. When a country's **** reaches the extreme moment, the country is also hopeless, even if Qin Shi Huang is resurrected and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is reincarnated, he is powerless to return to the sky, and can only watch the country perish.

The situation in which the literati flourished was that the army became vassals. When you are used, let you rush forward, and success, the merit is literati; Defeat, the blame is yours. When you're not around, you're a stinky, and people stink wherever you put it.

If the dominant literati become corrupt and degenerate, the problem will be even more serious, and the impact on the military will be even more fatal. The already restrained Great Song army had no resistance at all in front of these literati, and in the blink of an eye, it rotted from the roots and became a group of useless ornaments.

This is the characteristic of the country under the leadership of the literati, and it is also an important reason why the country has lost its combat effectiveness.

Of course, if these are counted on the heads of the literati is a bit reluctant, it is fatal that when the country is facing a critical juncture of life and death, the literati always have one more consideration than the military generals, exchanging humiliation for peace.

"Insiders in civil wars, not outside wars". This is the style of the literati, and it is also the characteristic of the literati, and when it develops to a certain extent, there will be a group of people who surrender on their knees, and these literati will completely take off their underwear and become the assistants of the enemy.

"The building will fall, and it will be difficult to support it alone", the development of the Great Song Dynasty has long been precarious, and no one has the ability to support it. Military generals can't do it, literati can't do it, and emperors can't do it.

This is an era of chaos, an era of heroes, and an era of change. Perhaps only by breaking some old traditions can a new order be established, and the focus of the peak is on this.

At this moment, relying on military generals cannot succeed, relying on literati cannot save the country, relying on the court will go to the bottomless abyss, and the peak can only rely on itself.

He didn't want to save the emperor and generals, nor did he want to save the entire Great Song Dynasty, he just wanted to protect himself, and at the same time try to control the development of the situation as much as possible, so that the people would suffer fewer casualties and wake up more.

His butterfly wings did not fan the changes in the Song Jiang uprising, which means that the situation is still expected, and Gao Feng breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The Songjiang Uprising was just an introduction, the world chaos had just begun, followed by the Fangla Uprising, as well as Zhang Xian, Jia Jin, Gao Tuoshan and other uprisings; There were even uprisings by Ni Congqing and others who were provoked by the army's practice of "killing good people and risking merit" and "killing ordinary people to make up numbers" in the process of suppressing the peasant army uprising.

These are some of the internal factors that destroyed the collapse of the Great Song Dynasty, Gao Feng can't change it, and he doesn't want to change it, he just wants to touch the bottom of Yang Bangyi and hatred at this time.

"Two adults, if the world is in chaos and the court is unable to deal with it, what will the two of you do?" Gao Feng was once again noncommittal about their words, and asked rhetorically.
