Zheng Gong was stunned for a moment, listening to Su Lin's words, a trace of sweat began to appear on his face, he could think that Su Lin's next words would probably be extremely realistic.

And Yang Lao took a sip of tea, and then lowered his head, thoughtful.

"As we all know, which of the founding monarchs had no ambitions? Which one is not rich in martial arts strategy? Su Lin pointed to an ink painting pasted in Su Ji, which was a tiger sleeping among the mountains and rocks, "Nomads, we regard them as barbarians, but they are all sleeping tigers, once they have crooked thoughts about the Central Plains, once they are slightly influenced by our Han civilization, as long as they are accompanied by an ambitious and ambitious leader, then it will be extremely terrifying." ”

Speaking of this, Su Lin couldn't help but think of the great nomadic empire that spanned Europe and Asia, the founder of that great empire, and his descendants were emperors in various places, influencing the rise and fall of countless civilizations.

"Wen Bang, are you exaggerating a little?" Gong Zheng frowned and shook his head, "If that's the case, wouldn't these barbarians already be in the Central Plains?" ”

Although this world is not much different from Su Lin's world, there is no nonsense, and the people of the Central Plains have not yet fully felt the taste of being a "two-legged sheep", let alone the fear of being dominated by these "barbarians".

"The Jin people are hunters in the mountains and forests, the Yuan people are like the Liao people, they are herdsmen on the grassland, their lives are too hard, when a wise and martial leader finds that there is a land that can make the lives of his people better, Zheng senior, what do you say, how will he choose?" Su Lin asked suddenly.

Zheng Gong smiled bitterly, he really didn't think about this, he had also heard some things about the Jin and Yuan people, and he heard that the monarchs of these two countries were eager to make their people's lives better, so they led their people to rebel against the Liao State.

However, once a person reaches a certain level, the things they see will be different, such as Zheng Gong and Yang Lao, who were just fists to serve the country, but every time they take a step up, their mentality, vision and even what they want to get are changing.

The Lord of a nation, how can it not be?

Before the Great Song Taizu raised the army, he thought about how to survive, and later, he thought about how to destroy the opponent, and in the end, he was thinking about thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, so there was the Great Song Dynasty.

Su Lin mentioned these truths a little, and the two old foxes would immediately understand.

"Then Wenbang supports Old Man Yang's idea?" Zheng Gong was a little unhappy, but he felt that Su Lin's reason was much stronger than Yang Lao's reason, the former was to cheer for the survival of the country, but the latter was just the so-called benevolence, faith, courtesy, and righteousness.

At this time, Yang Lao also found that what he and Zheng Gong had considered before was from the perspective of morality and the current situation in the world, rather than from the perspective of people's hearts.

What Su Lin said refuted the views of both of them, not their practices, but what their starting point was.

"You can say the same thing." Su Lin nodded and said, "Although the Liao State is now losing and retreating, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there will still be a certain amount of national strength, what is lacking is just a Ming monarch, what the Great Song Dynasty wants to do is to form an alliance with the Liao State and fight against Yuan Jin at the expense of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun." ”

In the past hundred years, there have been few Ming monarchs in the Liao Kingdom, and like the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, they are all content with the status quo and enjoy the things inherited from their ancestors.

"Wen Bang's opinion made you and me suddenly enlightened." Zheng Gong and Yang Lao glanced at each other and said with a wry smile.

Su Lin shook his head, these are just bloody facts that happened in his world history, so he said modestly: "The two seniors praise falsely, Su Lin's presumptuous words, don't take it to heart." ”

Still not going to your heart? The two elders all smiled bitterly, if such discussions were not put in their ears, this Great Song Dynasty would be dead.

"Old man Yang, you and I might as well write an excerpt tonight and present it to Your Majesty, I think...... You and I can go out again this time. Zheng Gong said with a solemn face.

Yang Lao also nodded and said, "This time, I'm afraid I will bring this black gauze hat into the loess." ”

"I'm afraid Your Majesty won't listen to the words of the two seniors." Su Lin said suddenly, "These things may only be listened to like the second elder, but others may not, even if Your Majesty knows the stakes, it will be because most of the ministers do not approve of it......"

Speaking of this, Su Lin showed a hint of mockery: "Your Majesty of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be good at compromise...... Compromise with diplomacy, compromise with ministers......"

As a result, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty was decreasing day by day, and the independence of the Xia State was also a compromise of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State captured the sixteen states of Youyun and signed a covenant, and the Great Song Dynasty compromised again......

Even, Dali was independent, and the Great Song Dynasty still compromised, even if the pressure was exerted over the years, the Dali Kingdom promised to be a subject country, and the Great Song Dynasty finally compromised......

I'm afraid that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will not compromise on the matter of giving up the throne, right?

Yang Lao and Zheng Gong both had dark faces, but they couldn't refute it, if they were others, they would probably come up with a moral lesson to teach them, but Su Lin was an exception, because this person is not only the queen of the Su family, but also a loyal backbone, and he also has a unique view of state affairs and a clear understanding of world affairs.

Yang Lao took a deep breath, but found that if he really told the emperor about these things, I am afraid he would not believe it, even if he believed it, but he would never accept it, because Cai Jing, Gao Yu, and even Tong Guan, there was no one who did not advocate attacking Liao, which involved too many interests.

Even if it is the second elder, it is a little unbearable, if it is faced with any of the three parties, the second elder will not be afraid, but the three parties are united, if it is possible, I am afraid that even the emperor will be able to drive it down.

Sighing and putting these things behind for the time being, Yang Lao asked, "Su boy, in a while, it will be a test, do you want to take the exam?" ”

Su Lin was stunned, shook his head, and said uncertainly: "Su Lin doesn't know, this matter still has to be considered." ”

If you become an official, you can indeed make yourself and your relatives more capable of self-protection, but the risk of becoming an official is also great.

The open and secret battles in the court, no matter how real the TV series is, it can't restore the true portrayal, the things in the general film and television works, the dark things will only be darker in reality, but the beautiful things are better than reality.

Maybe you really want to be an official, and if possible, you can try your best to prevent what is possible, but if you want to reach that level, you need to climb up, and in the process, you will inevitably offend some people and hurt some people.
