Hearing these words, Wu Ji was a little helpless, and said curtly: "Wang Shumi, I don't know much about the Empress Dowager, please tell me in detail." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As a talent in the Song Dynasty, he can be regarded as a scholar, if he doesn't even know about the empress dowager of the dynasty, it is really embarrassing. Wu Ji should have been reluctant to say it directly, but at this critical time of the military situation, if he did not have a comprehensive understanding, he might make a mistake in judgment and defeat the army.

Where did he think about it, Wang Shao was very surprised by what he said, and he only heard Wang Shao say: "Brother Wu, for the Empress Dowager, don't say you, even I, the minister of the court, only know some fur. Let me elaborate. The Empress Dowager is the descendant of the famous general Cao Bin, the empress of Emperor Renzong, and the grandmother of the official family. She has a skill, is proficient in the art of controlling people, and if she wants to do something, she must choose someone to do it, but she judges the situation, obtains a good name, and never shows her face. Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China are very jealous of her, even the opposition of Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gongzhu are also instructed by her and have to obey her, and they are no less afraid of her than the official family. It can be said that the entire ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are afraid of her. ”

Empress Cao is the queen of Song Renzong and a descendant of Cao Bin, on the surface she is very famous, but in fact she sells her reputation and likes to whitewash herself. In today's words, she likes to pretend to be B, and she is very successful in pretending to B, and the Cixi of later generations is too far behind her.

Cixi I was infamous, what the Empress Dowager Cao did, its harm was no worse than Cixi, and the new law was broken because of her, not Sima Guang and others, however, the Empress Dowager Cao got a good reputation, and the "History of the Song Dynasty" blew her like a flower.

Empress Dowager Cao looked like she was in the deep palace on the surface and didn't care about state affairs, but in fact she was interfering in court politics, and it was her intervention that led to the failure of the new law. She is the root cause of opposition to the new law, and the writers of Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gong are just on the surface, and they will use her as a gunman from time to time.

led to the failure of the new law, and the Empress Dowager Cao did two things, one was to degrade Wang Shao, and the other was to remove Wang Anshi. Empress Dowager Cao is very discerning, very skillful, proficient in the art of the emperor, in order to oppose the new law, she never jumps out, let alone accuses which new law has problems, she set her sights on the ministers who implement the new law.

At that time, Song Shenzong's left arm and right arm were Wang Anshi and Wang Shao. These two people, one literary and one martial, are very compatible, and the reason why Wang Shao reused Song Shenzong was because of Wang Anshi's recommendation, so it is reasonable for the two to get along.

In addition, Wang Shao won a great victory in the Battle of Xihe and closed the west gate of Guanzhong, so that Western Xia could not send troops to Guanzhong in two ways, which was a very good victory for the Song Dynasty and was of great strategic significance. If it continues to develop, the Song Dynasty is likely to achieve greater victories in foreign wars, and at this time, Empress Dowager Cao made a move.

Song Shenzong was ready to send troops to the land of Yanyun, and everything was arranged, so he was waiting to send troops. Empress Dowager Cao called Song Shenzong over and asked Song Shenzong if he was ready? Song Shenzong replied that it was ready. Empress Dowager Cao saw that she couldn't find fault with it, so she said that the land of Yanyun was just "to be congratulated in the south", and the meaning was very clear, that is, to make Song Shenzong not send troops.

Recovering the land of Yanyun was too important for the Song Dynasty, but she said that it was "just a blessing from the south", if she didn't deliberately say this for the sake of power and profit, then she would be too lacking in vision.

It was under her high pressure that Song Shenzong had no choice but to cancel this operation.

Next, Empress Dowager Cao attacked Wang Shao. Under her instructions, Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gongzhu puffed up their tongues, saying that the Battle of Xihe was worthless, not only worthless, but also costing the world, making the people of the world hard, as if the Song Dynasty was dying.

As soon as the momentum became successful, Wang Shao had to be demoted, and Song Shenzong was extremely unwilling, but he had to demote Wang Shao from the court.

When Wang Shao left Beijing, Empress Dowager Cao sent someone to appease Wang Shao, gave Wang Shao countless gold, silver and jewelry, and sent a few jars of wine, putting on a kind face, it was really her who caught ghosts, and she still released ghosts. In the end, Sima Guang and others were notorious, but she got a good reputation and praised her.

Wang Shao was demoted, Wang Anshi was isolated, and as long as Wang Anshi was removed, the new law would die. Encouraged by Sima Guang's opponents, they began to build momentum to depose Wang Anshi.

As soon as the situation was created, Empress Dowager Cao made another move. This time, she was even more insidious, she forced Song Shenzong's mother, Empress Dowager Gao, and Song Shenzong's empress to go out with the empress to persecute Song Shenzong. This is the famous Three Queens in history, who forced Song Shenzong to remove Wang Anshi.

"She is a sharp sword hanging over the head of the official family, which may fall at any time, but the official family is helpless." Wang Shao's voice was lower, if it weren't for Wu Ji's good ear, he wouldn't have heard it at all: "The reason why this is so is because she is not the grandmother of the official family and has no blood relationship." ”

Empress Dowager Cao is not Song Shenzong's own grandmother, this is the most deadly, if she is not satisfied, she will abolish Song Shenzong.

Blood relationship is very important. This has been proven by history, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a living example.

Everyone knows that there was a Empress Dowager Dou in the Han Dynasty, she was the grandmother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although she opposed the reform of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, smashed the "Jianyuan Innovation" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and forced several ministers of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to commit suicide, she did not kill Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the end, because it was her own grandson.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's situation was very delicate, and rumors spread that the Empress Dowager Dou wanted to abolish the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and many people thought that this was a good opportunity and prepared to curry favor with the Empress Dowager Dou and send assassins to assassinate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But he didn't expect that Empress Dowager Dou would destroy these people. Her logic is very simple: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is no longer right, even if it is wrong in every way, it is still my grandson. If you want to beat, scold, or cut, you have to do it, you can't make a move. If you dare to do anything bad to my grandson, I will destroy you.

Song Shenzong did not have such favorable conditions. Song Renzong originally had three sons, but all of them died, so he had to choose one person from the clan to be the emperor, this person was Song Yingzong, the father of Song Shenzong.

It was precisely because there was no such blood relationship that Empress Dowager Cao forced Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang to put pressure on Song Shenzong, and Song Shenzong had to give in and had to dismiss Wang Anshi.

Empress Dowager Gao is the biological mother of Song Shenzong, and Song Shenzong is the husband of Empress Xiang, and these two are the most unlikely to oppose Song Shenzong. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not fall into the trap at that time, and they will pick and choose to take action at other times. They came forward because of the high pressure of Empress Dowager Cao, and the addition of these two people was fatal to Song Shenzong.

If Song Shenzong does not give in and still insists on changing the law, then Empress Dowager Cao can abolish Song Shenzong in a righteous and bright manner, and the reasons are all made: your mother and your wife are all against you, you are intolerable, who will abolish you if you are not abolished?

In this way, Wang Anshi gave it, and the new law died.

"I think of it, there was a queen in the Song Dynasty who listened to the government, and she was the same as Sima Guang, so she should be her!" Wu Ji finally understood why Song Shenzong was so jealous of Empress Dowager Cao, it turned out to be the woman who listened to the government.

Understanding this relationship, Wu Ji thought of something deeper: "According to this, the new law is already on the verge of life and death!" Where is Huaxia going, is it going to become stronger, or is it going back to before the change, sticking to the old ways, not thinking of making progress, drunk and dreaming of death, just in the next battle! ”

"That's right, that's it!" Wang Shao's brows tightened: "If we fight well, everything is easy to say." If we don't fight well, not only are we sinners through the ages, but even the official family is probably infamous for thousands of years! ”

Indeed, if the Song Dynasty does not fight well this time, there is Liao in the north and Western Xia in the west, and the two countries are embarrassed to be annihilated, and they will come in from two roads, and the Central Plains and Guanzhong are likely to be in trouble, and I don't know how many people died in the war. The situation is more than ten times more than a hundred times more than Yerod's light entering the Central Plains.

"This ......" Wu Ji didn't expect that the situation would be so critical.

"When the officials ask us how many Western soldiers we have transferred, they are not only trusting us, but also asking how much we have succeeded." Wang Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "This time, the official family not only staked the future of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the reputation of the official family. Brother Wu, you say, how many troops are transferred from Shaanzhou? ”

The next battle is too big, it is related to the future of the Song Dynasty and the future of China, whether it will rise from now on and return to the peak of the Han and Tang Dynasties, or will it collapse and be in this battle!

Song Shenzong's courage is big enough, and he bet all the things that can be staked, and after Wu Ji understood, he was very moved: "Although the historical Song Shenzong reform was not successful, it was suffocating, but I didn't expect him to have such courage!" In any case, this battle must be fought well and cannot be lost! ”

"Wang Shumi, let me think about it!" Wu Ji didn't answer immediately, he kept pacing back and forth, falling into deep thought.

"It's such a big deal, it's time to think about it." Wang Shao nodded heavily, and also fell into deep thought.

The two of them fell into deep thought at the same time, and the room was silent, except for the sound of breathing.

Time passed in silence, and I don't know how long it took, the two of them came to their senses at the same time, Wang Shao clenched his fist with his right hand, and said: "Since this is the case, then break the cauldron and transfer the western soldiers to the north, and abandon Shaanzhou." If the Western Xia wants to close the middle, it will be lost to the Western Xia. As long as you win this battle and recapture the land of Yanyun, you can still destroy Western Xia from the east. I'll take all the sins! Even if it is to destroy the nine clans, I will bear it! ”

If the Western soldiers are transferred to the north, the Western Xia will inevitably take advantage of the weakness, take the northern part of Shaanzhou, and go straight to Guanzhong. If Guanzhong is lost, the opposition will definitely fight back, and a big crime will be deducted, and Wang Shao is willing to take it, which is really shocking.

However, Wu Ji denied it: "No! You must not transfer Western soldiers, not even a single soldier! ”

"The western soldiers are known as the elite of the world, if you don't transfer the western soldiers, how can you win this battle? Unless Brother Wu has the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers. Wang Shao shook his head fiercely.

"I don't have the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers! There is a ruthless trick! Wu Ji pulled out the captive knife fiercely, nailed it to the map, and said, "Here!" Be sure to take it down! ”

Wang Shao's eyes widened, looking at the place where the slashing knife was nailed, he didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long while, he screamed: "Brother Wu, your courage is too big!" It's too big! ”
