Chen Dong was speechless by the prince, if the prince really had to launch a mutiny to oust the current emperor from power and replace him, I am afraid that he would be the first to take the lead in the streets to demand the punishment of the national thieves and the preservation of orthodoxy, and the only thing the prince can do at this time is to kill all of them by iron-blooded means, those who oppose the court do not know how many heads have fallen to the ground, and those who remain will still be those shameless bureaucrats in the mouth of the prince, and the ones who are killed are those who have justice in their hearts!

"Shaoyang, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ta looked back at Chen Dong and asked in a daze.

"Lord Wang, do you say that your subordinate is a gentleman or a villain?" Chen Dong looked at the prince and asked with a confused look in his eyes.

"Shaoyang, where do you say that?" Zhao Tan frowned and asked.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates want to serve the country and take it as their duty to uphold justice for the people, but today they are talking about killing the king and usurping the throne, isn't it the heart of a villain?" Chen Dong said with a sigh.

"Shaoyang, let's go to the woods in front of us and make a point!" Zhao Ta saw that Chen Dong was in a contradiction, and what he did had made him doubt what he had learned in the past.

"The good and the bad in the world, the gentleman and the villain, are actually difficult to distinguish clearly!" The inner guard spread out a blanket in the shade of the tree, and Zhao Ta sat down and took a sip of water from the kettle and said.

"Where did the prince say this, the gentleman and the villain are clearly distinguished, and they are incompatible, how can it be difficult to distinguish clearly?" Chen Dong asked even more confusedly.

"Let's talk about the changes in the Shenzong period, the new law has mixed reviews, some say good, some say bad, it can also be said to be a clear confrontation, today the new party is in power, and it will try its best to implement the new law. Degraded all the people of the old party. When the old party is in power, the new party is regarded as a villain. Expelled from Beijing, the two factions fought to the death. Countless officials and scholars have been involved, and decades have passed, even in this dynasty, there are still people who often mention it, but you say that Wang Anshi is a villain, or Sima Guang is a villain, both of them are great Confucians in the world, and they are both respected by the world, so who is good and who is bad? I'm afraid you won't be able to tell the difference! Zhao said.

"Yes, my lord. It is indeed impossible to distinguish, they also have their own merits, green seedlings, generals and other methods we have been promoting and using in the river, the effect is very good, and the people have benefited from it! Chen Dong said, "But during the Shenzong period, the implementation of the two laws of Qingmiao was criticized, and the ministers opposed it, regarded the king as a traitor, and after Lord Sima came back, he abolished all the new laws." But the people don't say that they are loyal, but blame him for looting day by day! ”

"Hehe, now the main battle lords and the two factions in the DPRK and China are also similar, and each has its own reasons. It just depends on how you think about it. The Lord and the Peacemaker saw clearly that the Great Song Dynasty was militarily weak, and although it was humiliating to cut the land and pay tribute, at least it could leave a corner of Gou'an. Continuation of the national line. The main fighters believe that the people's will can be used, as long as they work hard. Cultivating strong soldiers can defeat the Jurchens and avoid the ravages of the Jin. Subjectively, they are all loyal to the country! Zhao said.

"Lord Wang. Even if you think that both have merit, why do you still beat Tang Ke in the court and angrily denounce him as a capitulation faction? Chen Dong was attracted by the prince's words and asked again.

"If he just thinks that the soldiers can't fight, endure the humiliation for the time being, and buy time for the day after tomorrow, just like the king of Yue back then, how can this king beat him, it's too late to praise him, just because he doesn't think so, blindly wants the Jurchens to flatter and surrender, just ask for Gou An!" Zhao Ta said with a sneer.

"Then the Jurchens rebelled against the tyranny of the Liao State at the beginning, is it also justice to destroy Liao?" Chen Dong was a little confused and asked again.

"The Jurchens were oppressed by the Khitans, humiliated, and raised troops to resist their tyranny. Zhao Ta nodded and said, "But after he won the victory of destroying Liao, he became a violent person, not only returning the humiliation inflicted on them by the Khitans, but also extending his hand to the Xi people, Bohai people, and Han people who were also bullied by the Khitans, this is no longer a righteous revenge, but a beast that has completely become a beast, a beast that has lost its humanity!" ”

"Then why did the Jurchens become like this, from a victim to an abuser? And then do not hesitate to use troops against our Great Song Dynasty! Chen Dong nodded and said.

"There is an old folk saying, it is called carrying a sharp weapon, and the murderous heart arises. The army of the Liao State and our dynasty in front of the Jurchens in the paper paste general, often a blow to the collapse, fleeing from the wind, such a disparity in strength of the war, at most they can only scratch a little skin, but the capture is a large number of children jade silk, such a battle is naturally particularly fond of fighting, but also particularly able to fight. If a person wants to resist the temptation to fight a few more battles, he must be determined to excel, but unfortunately the Jurchens are not, they have been blinded by their own greed. Zhao replied with a smile.

"Lord Wang, in the face of foreign enemies, the people in our court should unite to resist external humiliation, but why do Geng Nanzhong and others have the courage to fight internally and cowardly externally, so they do not hesitate to put loyal people like Li Gang and Wang Ye to death quickly, but the emperor turns a blind eye to this, what is this for?" Chen Dong asked again.

"That's why there is a distinction between loyalty and treachery, for you they are traitors, but in the eyes of the emperor, they can keep the throne for themselves and eliminate dissidents, but they are loyal, and this king can threaten his status is also a traitor in their eyes, so loyalty and treachery only depends on how you look at it!" Zhao Tan said with a smile and handed his kettle to Chen Dong.

"Oh, my subordinates have been taught, but the prince has not forgotten the Great Song Dynasty and refused to be the emperor, he wants to be a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but he doesn't want to be a loyal minister of the emperor!" Chen Dong said suddenly.

"Hehe, you're overrated!" Zhao Ta said with a smile, but he blushed a little, "This king is a person who has no ability, he can't persuade the emperor, let alone get rid of traitors for the country, and he feels ashamed." ”

"Lord Wang, there is still something I don't understand under my subordinates, when the country was founded, Taizu swept the troops in all directions, how majestic the army of the Great Song Dynasty was, but now why are the Khitans defeated by the Jin soldiers, but my strong Western army was defeated by the Liao army, and there is no way to fight back? The Liao and Song dynasties were once the dominant kingdoms, but they were no match for the Jin Kingdom, which had only been established for 20 years? Chen Dong drank some water and said something that had been in his heart for a long time, he had high hopes for the Western Army at the beginning, but it became a joke after defeat.

"At the time of the founding of the country, put aside the alleviation of social contradictions, not to mention political clarity, and only talk about military affairs!" Zhao Ta thought for a while and said, "The Tang Dynasty is famous, majestic and prestigious, has always been respected by the people, his strength lies in the strong character of a nation, the Li family rose in the Jin Dynasty, where it is near, the people are fierce and brave and brave, which determines the brave and strong Li family, and breeds several generations of eloquent emperors, and the country naturally prospers." Tang Taizong's martial arts are outstanding, Zhenguan's rule is famous in history, the territory is vast, and the Quartet sends envoys to worship. However, after arriving in the Middle Tang Dynasty, with the strengthening of the agricultural environment, the prosperity of Confucianism, the economic center of gravity shifted southward, the national character was enslaved again and became weak, and the heroic and strong national spirit in the early Han and Tang dynasties disappeared, and it flourished and declined, becoming a lamb to be slaughtered! ”

"Wonderful! Since ancient times, the lord of Zhongxing, from the northwest, is enough to base the Central Plains, and there is the southeast. Chen Dong high-fived and praised, agreeing with what the prince said.

"After the founding of our dynasty, the two northern expeditions failed, and the enterprising spirit suddenly decreased, and with the deepening of the national policy of governing the military with culture and the improvement of the status of scholars, the martial style of the world gradually disappeared, and the people's nature became weaker and weaker, greedy for pleasure, and no one was willing to mention the conquest. After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Liao and Song dynasties ceased their troops, and there was no major war since then, and they had a hundred years of fighting, resulting in no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit! Zhao Ta said, seeing Chen Dong nodding, and then said.

After decades of reclamation, a large number of herdsmen became farmers, and the Khitan people, who lived on nomadism, became semi-herding and half-farming, and the difference between the Liao State and the Song State became less and less, and the fierce and courageous fighting spirit of the past in the comfortable farming environment was gradually exhausted. But the Jurchens are different, they are like the Song Liao a hundred years ago, the people are strong, good at fighting, all the people are soldiers, like a tiger out of the mountains and forests, and Liao has no minions, the aging lion, is no match for the swarming Jin cavalry, so the Jurchen from the rise to the extinction of the Liao State, it is only more than 20 years, and the Great Song Dynasty is more bloody than the Liao, turned into a sheep, although the lion is old and can not fight the tiger, but it is more than enough to deal with our Great Song sheep. ”

"The prince's vigorous promotion of the pre-Qin 'military merit grant' in Xijing is not only to inspire the soldiers to move forward bravely, but also to re-establish the martial arts style of our Great Song Dynasty, and let the scholars enter the camp is this intention!" Chen Dong understood and thought clearly.

"Yes, it is this meaning, now Shaoyang is learning from Xijing, and bears the heavy responsibility of educating the people, not only to let you cultivate a group of loyal people of insight, but also to have blood, dare to shed blood for the country and the people, the future of Xijing, and even the Great Song Dynasty need this kind of talent, I hope you live up to expectations!" Zhao Ta Zhengse said.

"I will live up to the expectations of the prince, and my subordinates will never give up!" Chen Dong gave a salute and said, this long conversation not only let him understand what the prince thinks, solve the doubts that have plagued him for a long time, but also make him admire the prince's foresight even more, Xijing has just stabilized, he has considered what will happen in a few years, or even a hundred years later, and is determined to repay the kindness of his encounter with death.

"Okay, let's take on the important task of saving the country and the people together, and create a new Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Ta also saluted, a decadent dynasty, maladministration is rampant, people's hearts are degenerate, morality is degenerate, can only be crushed by the wheel of history, and an old civilization falls, will be replaced by a new civilization, since it cannot be solved in the system, can only rely on the persecution outside the system to reconstruct, as the so-called 'old does not go, the new does not come', and this heavy task of changing history seems to have fallen on him on the day he crossed over...
