Chapter 160: The Emperor Is Persuaded (500 Votes Plus Change)

Su Xun analyzed the situation of the Liao State clearly, and then Zhao Zhen suddenly became vigilant, he had been sad and sad, lamenting the decline of the Great Song Dynasty, and a lot of troubles, daring to love him and the Liao Lord are the same disease, uh no, the Liao Lord is even more miserable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yelu Chongyuan has been operating the sixteen states of Yanyun for a long time, with strong financial resources and a large number of people, which is enough to compete with the Liao lord.

In this situation, letting the Liao State raise the country's troops to the south is simply a cannibalistic dream.

Su Xun added: "Your Majesty, the hidden dangers of the Liao State are not only like this, their territory is vast, but there are too many tribal savages, among which the Jurchen tribes are the most powerful, with a large population and extraordinary combat power. However, once the Liao soldiers move south, these tribes will definitely take the opportunity to become bigger. Today's Liao State is still the same alliance as the Yuanyuan, when my Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were still of one heart and one mind, defeated the Liao soldiers, and now they are cowardly before fighting, doesn't it make the people of the world chill? ”

Zhao Zhen's heart moved, he really moved, if the Liao Kingdom is so miserable, why don't you take advantage of your illness to kill you! A shame before the snow, and let out the evil spirit in the chest.

Wen Yanbo peeked at Zhao Zhen's chest and his throat moved up and down, so he almost nodded and said Okay, Wen Xianggong is anxious, he advocates disarmament and advocates Yanwu Xiuwen, isn't this a slap in the face of Hongguoguo?

However, Su Xun's eloquence is too good, Wen Yanbo is not sure, so he can only give Song Zhen and Wang Gongchen a look frequently, Wang Gongchen was just deflated, and he didn't think of a rebuttal, Song Zhen stood up helplessly.

"Master Su's analysis of the Liao State, although it is exquisite, but you don't forget that the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty is not only the Liao State, in case the Song and Liao wars and let the Western Xia fishermen benefit, what should it be?"

He said this very generously, thinking that he would get a round of applause, but who knew that everyone's faces were very weird, Pang Xianggong bluffed, obviously he wanted to laugh and was embarrassed, so he could only hold back.

As for Wen Xianggong and Wang Xianggong, they simply turned their heads and didn't bother to look at this pig teammate, uh no, pigs are better than him!

Before Song Zhen could react, Zhao Zhen coughed twice, "Song Xianggong, Li Yuanhao has been dead for a year, and the Western Xia is in chaos, I'm afraid that I have no time to take care of him, I have the intention to take the opportunity to conquer, how can the treasury be empty, the troops are not enough, so I can only miss the opportunity, what a pity!" ”

Speaking of Li Yuanhao, he can be regarded as a momentary hero, he inherited the inheritance of his father, occupied the vast land in the northwest, called the emperor rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and in the battles of Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan, he eliminated tens of thousands of Song troops, and defeated the Liao army in person, laying a three-point pattern.

Just like many accomplished monarchs, in their later years, they are inevitably mediocre and brutal, Li Yuanhao is like this, abolished the queen Yeli clan, you know, Yeli clan is also a huge family, the force is quite amazing, although the Western Xia is not as vast as the Liao State, but the internal tribes are intricate, not to mention much.

Li Yuanhao is not so much the emperor as the chairman of a large company, and Ye Li is one of the stronger directors.

Li Yuanhao used bloody means to destroy the Yeli clan, and before that, Yuanhao killed his uncle Wei Mushanxi who assisted him in ascending the throne, and killed his mother Wei Mushi with his own hands.

It is not surprising that such a person can do anything to his wife, and he is also unkind to his mother.

Sure enough, during a banquet, Li Yuanhao took a fancy to his son Ning Lingge's fiancée, who was young and energetic, and her beauty was unparalleled, Li Yuanhao immediately had an idea, and directly snatched his daughter-in-law and became the new queen.

In history, there are not no kings who snatch their daughters-in-law, two of them are the most famous, one is Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, who snatched Yang Yuhuan Yang Guifei from his son, and the other is King Chuping during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

These two did not end well, Li Longji was defeated in Shuzhong for the Anshi Rebellion, in Maweipo, Yang Yuhuan was hanged under the pear blossom tree, Li Longji was also forced to abdicate, became the emperor, and lived in a thick lovesickness for the rest of the years. As for King Chuping, he was a little miserable, because he robbed his daughter-in-law and killed the Wu family in anger, and only one Wu Zixu ran out, which was the guy who passed the Zhao Pass and became white-headed overnight.

Wu Zixu fled to the state of Wu, successively recommended two famous assassins, Zhuzhu and to leave, killed the king of Wu and Gongzi Qingji, and helped Gongziguang to seize the throne, and later Wu attacked Chu and laid down the capital of Chu, when the king of Chuping was dead, Wu Zixu, who was stuffed with hatred, pulled the king of Chuping out of the grave, whipped a whip, and beat the bones to splash, which is the origin of the "whip corpse".

Compared with the above two, Li Yuanhao's fate was more direct and miserable, the crown prince Ning Lingge, who was robbed of his fiancée, did not endure like King Shou, nor did he escape like Mi Jian, but bravely picked up the knife and rushed into his father's palace, taking advantage of Li Yuanhao's drunkenness, it was a knife.

He did not kill Li Yuanhao, but cut off Li Yuanhao's nose, and the tyrant died of excessive blood loss that night.

Maybe he did too many evil things, he finally got the most cruel retribution, died at the hands of his son, lost his nose, his facial features were incomplete, and he was also an ugly ghost!

Brother Ning Ling was a stunned young man, after injuring Li Yuanhao, he was so frightened that he ran to the house of the minister of the country who did not hide the false Pang, the sister who did not hide the false Pang is the queen, in principle, he is the uncle of Brother Ning Ling, but there is no blood relationship between them, and the Wuzang clan seized the throne of Ning Lingge's biological mother Ye Li's family, do you say that people who did not hide the false Pang can not help their own family?

did not hide Pang for killing his father, killed Ning Lingge, and assisted his nephew Li Liangzuo, who was only more than a year old, to ascend the throne and rob the power of Western Xia.

These things all happened in the eighth year of Qingli, just over a year has passed, and there is no hiding that Pang seized power by despicable means, and the other families are dissatisfied, and the forces loyal to Li Yuanhao are making waves.

……

Zhao Zhen really wanted to use troops against Western Xia at that time, and he was ashamed, but several ministers of the imperial court frequently persuaded him to let His Majesty the Emperor not pay attention to the side work, and rest with the people, as long as the world is peaceful, the barbarians outside the four countries are not to worry......

After pouring a meal of ecstasy soup, Zhao Zhen was not a decisive person in the first place, but he watched the opportunity lose in vain, and he didn't even cancel the New Year's coin, which is really shameful!

After more than a year, Zhao Zhen also thought clearly, knowing that he had been fooled, but he was helpless.

But Song Zhen was confused, and he dared to mention the matter of Xixia, Zhao Zhen secretly said in his heart, he was deceived once, can he be fooled again? Song Zhen not only did not make Zhao Zhen change his mind, but on the contrary, made the emperor more supportive, even at the cost of a war!

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Wen Yanbo had to go into battle in person.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows very well that the soldiers and civilians are bent on washing away the shame, but it is not easy to move troops. Even if the Liao army does not dare to really go south, as long as Chen Bing borders, we must be prepared to deal with it. It is necessary to recruit men and horses, to mobilize grain and grass, and the sum of various expenditures is not to mention several millions. Last year, in order to cope with the famine in Hebei, the southeastern provinces have already collected taxes for three years in advance, and if they move troops again, they are afraid that they will not last for ten or eight years, and before the Liao soldiers come over, the southeast will be in chaos. The minister implores His Majesty to think of the common people and the world, and not to raise troops in vain for the sake of one or two crazy words, and put the country and dangerous land! ”

This is the prime minister's cultivation, which sounds correct, but in fact it is an exaggeration, and it is not wrong to levy more taxes, but only in a few wealthy state capitals, and most of them are used to fill the shortfall, and very little is actually used for disaster relief.

But Wen Yanbo can say that the situation is dangerous and out of control, and Su Xun can't learn the ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

If it was in the past, Su Xun would most likely be defeated, but after Wang Ning'an's pre-deduction, all the reasons that you can come up with have a way to crack it.

Su Xun was calm, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Wen Xianggong said that Weichen is crazy, and Weichen doesn't dare to refute it, but Fan Xianggong, Yan Xianggong, and Ouyang Bachelor, they all mean the same thing, and Fang Cai Wen Xianggong's worries are not worth mentioning at all." ”

"Oh? Do you have a solution? ”

"Yes!" Su Xun said: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, there is no shortage of grain in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a lot of grain in the southeast, but how to collect it and how to transport it to the north is the trouble!" If you go to Caoyun, just to the capital, you will have to consume more than 30%, and then transport it to Hebei, three stones of grain, only one stone can reach the destination. ”

Song Zhen made a fuss about ignorance, so he became angry and said: "Since you know that the loss is serious, how dare you bring it up?" ”

Su Xun was not afraid, and smiled faintly, "Your Majesty knows that this time, in order to relieve the victims, Cangzhou's fleet went to sea to hunt whales several times, although the personnel were somewhat damaged, but they gained a lot and were familiar with the sea conditions. If we can increase the number of sea vessels in Cangzhou, and sell the whale oil, whale meat, candles, soap, sugar, furniture, furs, medicinal materials, and fine wine produced in Cangzhou to Jiangnan by sea, and then transport the grain, tea, and silk from Jiangnan back to Cangzhou, we can solve the livelihood of the disaster victims. Moreover, the two sides can exchange information and increase tax revenue, and this part of the tax revenue can be used as food and salary for the Hebei army. Since this is normal trade, the imperial court does not need to levy land in advance, let alone damage the people's power, and can also invigorate the economy and support the military. ”

Listening to Su Xun's generous statement, Wen Yanbo's face changed wildly, and he knew that he couldn't stop it anymore...... Sure enough, Zhao Zhen had already stood up from the dragon chair excitedly, walked quickly in front of Su Xun, and took his hand.

"Su Qing, how about the loss of sea freight?"

Su Xun tried his best to maintain his composure, "Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty is prosperous in sea trade, and merchant ships are shipping, if it is only transported from Jiangnan to Hebei, it is estimated that the loss will not exceed one percent!" ”

"Ichisei!"

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, he took Su Xun's hand, kept shaking, and praised sincerely: "Su Qing really has the talent to manage Zhong Leyi!" I have a good appearance for the Great Song Dynasty! ”
