Chapter 30 Famous General Li Tingzhi

Li Tingzhi drank the wine silently and listened to Jia Yidao confide in his heart.

"Gradually, I found that my desire for power became bigger and bigger, like sucking five stones, and I couldn't stop. I also know that I have made too many enemies in the DPRK and China, and once I lose power, I will definitely die without a place to bury. And when my power swells to a certain point, it touches the imperial power. Now the outside world is saying that my dynasty is the imperial power, the prime minister's power, and the rear power, which will undoubtedly push me to the cusp of the waves. If you are not careful, you may fall into a catastrophe from which you will never recover. I say that I spend all my time drinking, indulging in lust, and sometimes I feel that I am not myself anymore, and I can only get by. Brother Xiangfu, drink, you are a straight person, there are some things you won't understand, even I don't understand, how did you get to this point. ”

Li Tingzhi drank it all again, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Shixian, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, maybe there will be a chance to appear." ”

"The new emperor Zhao Yu? Haha, brother, I saw this Zhao Yu grow up with him since I was a child, and if you say something rebellious, you might as well be the first emperor. ”

"Brother Shixian, I heard that although Emperor Du has just ascended the throne, he is extremely diligent, studying in the study every night."

"Brother, didn't the emperor in history look like him when he first ascended the throne?"

Li Tingzhi fell silent again, and Jia Rudao's words were real.

"Xiangfu, if you have wine today and get drunk today, don't stop drinking and chopsticks, eat wine and food."

Li Tingzhi drank another glass of wine, his mood became heavier, and he said: "Then according to what Brother Shixian said, there is no hope for Zhongxing in my dynasty?" ”

Jia Rudao smiled and asked, "Brother, do you think there is still hope?" ”

Jia Rudao saw that Li Tingzhi was speechless, and then said: "I see it very clearly, in my opinion, this new emperor will relapse with his old surname in a few months, how can a drunkard do anything." As long as this Zhao Yu continues to give me power, I will continue like this, otherwise I will ......"

"How else?"

"Haha, drink, drink."

Jia Rudao was already lying on the table, and he didn't know whether he was really drunk or pretending to be drunk, but he was still muttering: "Drink, drink, if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”

Li Tingzhi felt a burst of loss in his heart, his expression was gloomy, looking at the leftovers on the table in front of him, he froze silently, was Lord Jia like Dao in front of him loyal or annihilated? I'm getting more and more incomprehensible.

Could it be that this great Song Qi has been exhausted? Li Tingzhi picked up the wine glass and remained motionless.

######

In the main hall, the ministers stationed abroad reported to me one by one in order of rank.

This kind of debriefing is just a formality, and the minister submitted to me, that is, today's debriefing report, which Xiao Qi accepted one by one, and these debriefing reports were eventually transferred to the corresponding departments of the DPRK and China for reference.

"Chenyangzhou's system makes Li Tingzhi see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

This is the first time I have seen this last famous general in the late Southern Song Dynasty, although Li Tingzhi is burly, he looks haggard.

"Aiqing, don't be polite."

"Your Majesty, in addition to the debriefing, the minister also has another performance."

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, the source of troops in Yangzhou City has dried up, and the minister has recruited 20,000 displaced people south of the Bianhe River to supplement the army to defend Yangzhou City, which is an urgent matter, and it has not been reported to the Privy Council before, and the minister begs Your Majesty for permission."

This was my idea last time, so it's impossible to say.

"Zhun Song, I will name this army the "Armed Tax Army" again, and the Privy Council will then issue an edict, and the master has no opinion, right? Li Aiqing guarded Yangzhou and made many miraculous achievements, I am very pleased, and I hope that Aiqing will make persistent efforts to make more new contributions to our dynasty. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Tingzhi replied respectfully, but his expression was in a trance.

"I have no opinion." Jia Rudao said lightly.

"Chenjing Lake pacifies the system and makes Lu Wende see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Aiqing is exempt from courtesy."

Brother Lu Wende and Brother Lu Wenhuan are also considered to be famous generals at the end of the Song Dynasty, and in the case of isolation, they were able to hold Xiangyang for several years, delaying the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally Lu Wende was killed, and Lu Wenhuan surrendered to the enemy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Lu Aiqing has worked hard, Xiangyang is a heavy land, and he is good to protect."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The early dynasty passed in such a hurry, but I didn't remember most of them.

Not long after I returned to Ningqian Palace, Xiao Qi came to report, and Lu Xiufu asked to see me.

As soon as Lu Xiufu entered the house, he said: "Your Majesty, just after going down to the court, Lord Li found the minister and explained that he would leave Beijing, and asked the minister to arrange to meet the god who offered the plan as soon as possible." ”

"If you leave Beijing tomorrow, will there be a change in the border? It's impossible, it's snowy in the north, the roads are blocked, and it's not the time to use troops at all. I thought for a while and said, "Junshi, let's see you at the Shifeng Teahouse in the afternoon, by the way, call Song Rui together." ”

Li Tingzhi has been restless since she had a deep conversation with Jia Yidao last night, and when she saw me in the teahouse, she was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at Lu Xiufu next to her.

I laughed and said, "General Li, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." ”

Li Tingzhi immediately knelt down in a hurry: "Minister Li, Li Tingzhi ......"

I picked up Li Tingzhi and interrupted: "Xiangfu get up, this is not in the palace, there is no need to be polite." ”

Lu Xiufu next to him said in a low voice: "My lord, Your Majesty calls himself Yan Gongzi outside, and your Excellency can call him so, Gongzi is the god who offered advice." ”

"Huh?" Li Tingzhi exclaimed.

"Sit down and speak slowly. Xiao Qi, on tea, on good tea. ”

I pointed at Wen Tianxiang and said, "This is Wen Tianxiang, the weapons supervisor." ”

"Could it be Song Rui, the champion of the Baoyou period?"

"Exactly."

"This is my martial arts professor Yuan Thorn."

"I've met Master Wen, Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Jianwen and Tianxiang also hurriedly replied: "I've seen Lord Li." ”

I saw that Li Tingzhi looked very restrained, so I personally poured him a cup of tea and said, "Xiangfu, drink tea, let's get together today, just feel free." ”

Seeing this, Lu Xiufu hurriedly said: "My lord, when I told Gongzi about the defense of Yangzhou City, Gongzi said, this city defense is perfect, the only blind spot is from the air, and the matter of recruiting troops on the spot is also Gongzi's method. ”

Li Tingzhi finished drinking tea, settled down, and said with admiration: "Li Tingzhi thanked Your Majesty on behalf of the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou, and the son of Huyan, the son's plan is very clever, so that my Yangzhou City is impregnable." ”

"Xiangfu, it is good to be solid, but blindly defending is not a long-term solution after all."

Li Tingzhi was stunned and said, "What does Childe mean?" ”

"Of course, it's the Central Plains of Beiding."

Li Tingzhi was overjoyed in his heart, but he shook his head again in an instant and said: "Childe, with all due respect, does Childe want to follow the example of the first emperor to enter Luo?" ”

Duanping into Luo is a war launched during the period of Li Zong, after the Song and Mongolia joined forces to destroy the Jin, leaving the vacuum of Henan, Song Li Zong intended to recover the homeland, the establishment of the world's meritorious cause, and finally in the preparation was not fully prepared to send troops to the Central Plains, although the recovery of Kaifeng, but in front of Luoyang was attacked by the Mongols, defeated and returned.

The failure of "Duanping into Luo" caused heavy losses to the Southern Song Dynasty, tens of thousands of elite soldiers died in the war, and a large number of materials invested were wasted, and the national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was seriously weakened. More importantly, the "Duanping into Luo" allowed the Mongols to find an excuse to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Mongols began the war to attack the Song Dynasty.

I knew Li Tingzhi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yes and no." ”

Li Tingzhi thought for a while and said, "The minister is stupid, please make it clear to the prince." ”
