Chapter 855: Wenfu Dialogue (1)
No one knows how far Cheng Yue will go to investigate the past, and deal well with his four favorite concubines and the core ministers of the Cheng Party in advance, so be prepared!
Before the war with the Mongols, Wen Tianxiang's life was actually quite luxurious, whenever he ate, there were at least a dozen delicacies, and there were dozens of singers on display in front. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But since the Mongols invaded the south, Wen Tianxiang broke this habit, and the family property was sold, and the money he got was used to recruit the warrior King Qin. It is not easy to go from luxury to frugality, such as cramps and broken bones, so the world is all impressed by Wen Tianxiang.
Cheng Yue defeated the Mongols and saved the Song Dynasty, and Wen Tianxiang was also reused, and the official income was rich. But for some reason, Wen Tianxiang didn't return to his previous habits, and he still lived as he did later, and the only change was that he ate much better.
Wen Tianxiang's four daughters, Ding Niang, Liu Niang, Huan Niang and Jian Niang have all married Cheng Yue, and there are still Feng Niang and Shou Niang in the family. Feng Niang also turned sixteen years old this year, because of Cheng Yue, no one dared to come to the door to propose marriage, lest Cheng Yue have to touch Feng Niang's nose again.
Feng Niang herself is not in a hurry, Ding Niang often sends all kinds of delicious food, she is busy eating and drinking every day, she is very happy, and she has never thought about the problem of getting married.
When the family was eating around, Mrs. Ouyang asked curiously, "Xianggong, what happened to the court today?" There were several times more people outside than usual, and they were still rushing over after listening to their families. ”
Wen Tianxiang took a sip of the wine that Cheng Yue specially prepared for him, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course it's a big deal." ”
Mrs. Huang's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Could it be that the official is about to be promoted?" ”
Wen Tianxiang said: "It's hard to say, we have to wait for the Metropolitan Governor to come back." However, according to the previous intention of the Grand Governor, many official positions in the court had to be moved. ”
Mrs. Yan said happily: "Why? Is the official in Suzhou coming back? ”
Wen Tianxiang smiled: "Yes, that's it. The Metropolitan Governor wants to merge the government of the two places, and the DPRK and China will inevitably make major adjustments. ”
Mrs. Ouyang was taken aback and said, "Official, in that case, wouldn't the two prime ministers, Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong, be ......?"
Wen Tianxiang nodded and said, "The two of them, I'm afraid that the official position is unstable." Not only them, but most of the ministers and servants of the DPRK and the Central Committee will change. ”
Mrs. Huang exclaimed: "Wouldn't that be a lot of demoted officials? ”
Wen Tianxiang shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." The governor of the capital wants to march south, and after the victory of the southern expedition, who will be sent to govern? Although there are many officials in the court, they will definitely not be enough at that time, otherwise what will most of the governors do in a hurry to open a department? Isn't there a shortage of people? ”
Mrs. Yan opened her mouth wide in surprise and said, "My God, our son-in-law has done a great job!" ”
Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "The Governor of Dadu has just been in Liaodong, leading more than 200,000 troops of the Song army, the Yuan army, the Japanese army and the Goryeo army, completely annihilating the army of more than 100,000 kings of the host province, and forcing the landing of more than 80,000 people, and his own casualties are insignificant, how much do you say our son-in-law will achieve?" ”
Mrs. Ouyang said with a smile: "We have heard from people outside about this matter, and we still don't believe it." ”
Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "It's all true, the Metropolitan Governor sent someone to send a letter, you can read tomorrow's "China Daily", there will be a very detailed explanation, I will wait to see it, haha." ”
Mrs. Huang was shocked and said, "That's amazing! When the Great Song Dynasty never won against the Mongol army of more than 100,000 troops, the Grand Governor actually killed so many in one battle? ”
Wen Tianxiang smiled: "It's not a god, it's a god!" The Metropolitan Governor is so good at fighting, and the Great Song Dynasty has been as safe as Mount Tai since then, and in my lifetime, I must not be able to see external troubles! ”
Feng Niang blinked and said, "Daddy, isn't my brother-in-law still going south?" After fighting so many battles in two years, and continuing to fight, isn't this a reckless military force? ”
Wen Tianxiang shook his head and sighed: "This is what I admire the Metropolitan Governor the most. Historically, when the imperial court sent troops, they had to send out labor, harassing the people, and even breaking their muscles and bones, and the government and the opposition were full of complaints. Only the governor of the capital sent troops, merchants from all over the country rushed to be the first, the military budget was sufficient, the soldiers were well-trained, and after the battle, they could still make a lot of money back, which was really ...... Set a precedent for the ages. ”
Mrs. Ouyang said with great interest: "Make a big profit? You can still make money by fighting a war, how can there be such a thing? ”
Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "It is true, the Metropolitan Governor has found a large vein of gold and silver in Japan, and the abolished Imperial Family and the Kamakura Shogunate in Japan have also given the Metropolitan Governor a lot of money. ”
Shou Niang interjected: "Actually, brother-in-law is right like this, the Mongols are scavenging money while fighting, so they can grow stronger day by day." Only our Great Song Dynasty spent a lot of money every time we went out, and there was not much loot, which made the people complain. ”
Wen Tianxiang laughed and said, "Shou Niang, your thoughts are becoming more and more similar to those of the Grand Dudu. ”
Shou Niang stuck out her tongue and grinned: "It's all my fault brother-in-law, tell me this as soon as you come, I can't listen to it." ”
Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "These words of the Metropolitan Governor are very different from the Confucian proposition, at first I think it is deviant, but when I think about it, it is very reasonable. Why the Khitan, Jin and the current Mongols are getting stronger and stronger, but the Great Song is getting weaker and weaker, the difference is that the Great Song is always defensive, only seeking to defeat the enemy, while others are attacking and aiming to plunder. Therefore, when the Metropolitan Governor is the main attacker and has a target, the war can make money, and the Great Song Dynasty will become stronger and stronger. ”
Mrs. Yan was stunned: "Since ancient times, isn't it true that those who are poor in military force will die?" ”
Wen Tianxiang said: "I used to think so. However, the Metropolitan Governor said that it is more dangerous to blindly be partial to peace and not to make progress. Besides, there are still many borderless lands in the world, if the Great Song Dynasty does not take it, sooner or later it will be taken by others, and the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger. ”
Madame Huang said unconvinced: "The southern countries are not terra nullius. ”
Wen Tianxiang said: "The Governor of the Great Metropolitan said that the place where the southern countries are located is very important to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, and it must not fall into the hands of others. I have seen the map of the Metropolitan Governor, and I have listened to the Metropolitan Governor's explanation, and I am deeply convinced. Moreover, the southern countries have vast land and abundant products, and it is better to be a province of the Song Dynasty. ”
Mrs. Ouyang said with a smile: "Xianggong, you are now inseparable from the Metropolitan Governor, which shows that you are deeply affected." ”
Wen Tianxiang laughed and said, "Yes, that's true. But seeing that the Great Song Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger now, suffering or something, let it go. (To be continued.) )
