Chapter 162 Don't be Emperor Tang Ming
"Fourth, quickly build Yangzhou, Jiankang and other places, build city walls, remember nine words, build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down the Northern Expedition!"
"Fifth, to build a water division, to guard the river, to guard the Huai, to guard the Huai, to guard Shandong. As long as there is a sailor, you can hold Jianghuai in the near area, and you can counterattack Liaodong in the distance! ”
"Is there anything else you would like to add, can you say?"
Zhao Pu didn't have a hint of negotiation, only orders, if you don't accept it, you have to accept it, and if you don't understand it, you have to accept it.
Zhao Ding opened his mouth and said: "There is no problem with these, but the third one is a little inappropriate." Your Majesty's golden body, you must not go out in person, and you are in danger. Guarding the Yellow River, there are naturally generals; You don't have to go out in person! “
"Your Majesty think twice, don't be rash!"
"Your Majesty is the hope of the Great Song Dynasty, don't move lightly!"
The three ministers, who originally had different opinions and quarreled constantly, united unprecedentedly this time and have always opposed Zhao Pu's personal expedition. Now most of the royal family has been captured and taken away, and most of the rest are side branches of the imperial dynasty, with strong roots and huge prestige, only His Majesty the Emperor is alone.
Once His Majesty the Emperor has a problem, the Great Song Dynasty is really finished, and no matter how big the victory is, it can't be made up, and the emperor has an unexpected change.
"It's not easy at all, you can't eat enough, you can't dress warmly, and you have to guard against the danger of swords. But now that the stakes are at stake, I have to go on the expedition! Zhao Pu smiled bitterly. In addition to those founding emperors, it can be said that whoever plays is unlucky, and whoever plays is tragedies.
Song Taizong of the Song Dynasty drove his own expedition, was shot in the thigh and became lame; Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty drove his own expedition and became a prisoner, and he was extremely hard.
If there was a little hope, Zhao Pu would not choose to drive in person.
Relying on his shallow military talent, he may win against second- and third-rate generals, but against first-class famous generals, he will definitely lose or lose, and there is no hope of victory at all. But it had to be so......
Zhao Pu smiled bitterly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what Tang Xuanzong made when he made the biggest mistake in his life?" ”
Wang Boyan said: "I am fortunate to be Yang Guifei, because of her beauty, she misled the country!" ”
Zhao Ding said: "Let the feudal town be divided, and bury the nails of the troubled times of the warriors!" ”
Fan Zongyin said: "Appoint traitors Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong!" ”
Three ministers, three different answers.
After Zhao Pu heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's neither." Whether it is the paralysis of the country, or the appointment of traitorous ministers, or the beauty of the country, there is nothing. People are not sages, who can be without fault, the fault is there, the mistake is not changed, and the mistake becomes bigger again and again. Back then, Li Dan first sent troops to kill Wei's family, and later destroyed Princess Taiping, all of them were at a disadvantage, in an extremely dangerous situation, and made a brazen move. At that time, he had a blood in him, and a courage not to be afraid of death. So, even though he was at a disadvantage, he relied on courage and wisdom to win back the defeat step by step! ”
"But in the later period, there was an Anshi Rebellion. The Anshi Rebellion is powerful, but compared to the Wei's Rebellion and the Taiping Princess Rebellion, it is still much worse. As long as he has a young age, that blood, and that courage not to be afraid of death, An Lushan is a hair, and he will be exterminated by him in a snap of his fingers! ”
"However, the long-term wine has long emptied the blood and courage in his body, and he no longer has the courage to fight and kill when he was young!"
The three ministers listened to His Majesty the Emperor's comments, and nodded secretly in their hearts, in the later stage, Tang Xuanzong had indeed lost his blood courage.
Zhao Pudao: "If I were Tang Xuanzong, I would not have run to Sichuan stupidly, but I lost the throne, the woman was strangled to death, and the confidant minister was also cut to death, and he was forced to abdicate and become the emperor, which was the biggest failure in his life." As a man, as a member of the royal family, you should have the courage to not eat Jiuding in life, and cook Jiuding in death! ”
"If the Anshi Rebellion breaks out, I will not flee to Sichuan stupidly, but will personally guard Tongguan and leave the prince in prison. If you win by luck and defeat the rebels, it can be regarded as making up for your mistakes; If the enemy breaks through Tongguan, I will die on Tongguan, which is considered the death of the king and the collapse of the society. Even if he dies, he will be remembered for eternity! ”
"Now we are facing a dead end. Now, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the Jin army has crossed the Yellow River, and it only takes one day to besiege Yingtianfu and fall to death; But now the situation is unstable, the wind and rain are drifting, and the morale of the army and the people is turbulent. At this time, moving the capital to the southeast, moving the capital to Yangzhou, or Jiankang, how will the people view us, even if there are 10,000 reasons, the people will think that we have abandoned the people, abandoned the country and the society and fled, lack of responsibility, lack of trust. The people will think that there are traitors in the court, and Wang Boyan, Zhao Ding, and Fan Zongyin are traitors! I will become Emperor Tang Ming, maybe halfway, there may be a mutiny, and I will be forced to abdicate; You will also become Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu, and you may not be killed by the soldiers. When you die, you will be left behind for 10,000 years! ”
The three ministers were silent again.
There is no argument, they are all extremely smart characters, and it is very likely that this will happen.
Once the capital is moved to the southeast, the morale of the army will inevitably be shaken, and the turbulent army at that time is very likely to commit radical acts. In such a situation, the people would not do anything to the emperor, but they would kill them in anger to vent their emotions. is dead, extremely wronged, and may be left stenched for 10,000 years.
Fame and fortune, fame in the front, profit in the back.
For literati, fame is always more important than profit, and what they are most afraid of is that they will be stinted for 10,000 years.
"At this time, it is imperative to drive in person!" Zhao Pu said.
At this moment, the three of them surprisingly did not object.
…………
When it was rumored that His Majesty was going to the front line to work for the army, there was once again a wave of opposition in the court.
Jingkang's shame left too much fear for the ministers, in their opinion, the capital is as far away from the Jin army as possible, if it is not Hainan Island or a desolate place, they will definitely recommend moving the capital to Hainan Island. But now His Majesty the Emperor is good, so he is so bold that he looks like he is not afraid of death, and goes directly to the Yellow River to comfort the three armies.
Isn't this looking for death?
The Yellow River has never defended the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, not in the past, nor in the future, the so-called Yellow River defense line is more to comfort itself, and it looks like the Jin army can't beat it.
If you get to the Yellow River and the Jin army raids, it will definitely be a prisoner.
"Your Majesty, it is the body of ten thousand gold, you can go to the dangerous place, regardless of your safety, you can't do it! The labor army only needs a royal history, why should His Majesty go in person! An old minister persuaded.
Wang Boyan said: "Now that we have lost ground one after another, and the morale of the army is shaken, Your Majesty must personally go to comfort the three armies in order to calm the hearts of the people!" Besides, it's just a labor army, not a personal expedition, once the situation changes, Your Majesty can evacuate in time and leave! ”
"Traitor! You are making a desperate bet, like a gambler, in order to turn over, throw all the chips out, once something happens, can you easily withdraw at that time? A royal historian immediately scolded, raised his head and said to Zhao Pu, "Your Majesty, you have no children now, and you have just ascended the throne, at this time, the society is unstable, everything needs to be cautious, how can you easily take risks and trap yourself in a desperate situation!" “
Zhao Ding said again: "Now that Sheji is drifting away, we have lost Hedong and Hebei, once the Yellow River defense line is broken, Lianghuai, Xiangfan, Shandong and other places will fall one after another, and now Your Majesty can only fight to the death to find a way out!" ”
"You rebel minister, I have a territory of thousands of miles, even if I lose Hedong, Hebei, Shaanxi and other places, even if I lose Jianghuai and other places, but as long as I divide the river and rule, I will definitely be able to recover the territory and drive out the gold thief, why do you want to do this and make all the profits!" Another imperial historian began to scold.
Fan Zongyin said: "Your Majesty, you don't want to be Emperor Tang Ming......"
"Your Majesty, how can it be Emperor Tang Ming, since he ascended the throne, he has rectified the armament, repaired the city, and vigorously promoted capable ministers and generals, and there is already a trend of prosperity!"
In the court, it was immediately open to each other, but the form has changed dramatically, and the two factions that had been arguing in the past have become Wang Boyan, Zhao Ding, and Fan Zongyin. Originally, it was just a quarrel over the relocation of the capital and the capital, but now it has changed to whether to go to the Yellow River to reward the three armies.
Zhao Pu looked at all this, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, as the prime minister, he must be prepared to share worries for the monarch and be a shield, not just a party and a private party.
