Chapter 19: The Battle of the Tongue in the Temple
"Let me go to the temple!" Zhao Pu was also slightly surprised when he heard the news.
The Song Dynasty raised the prince like a pig, giving him a rich fortune and a superior life, but he did not give him political participation. On the TV series, the Eight Sages King spoke in a variety of words, affecting the direction of the court. But in reality, the princes of the Song Dynasty were just parasites, and they had no use other than parasites. The only use is probably that the emperor hangs up, and he has no son, and finally becomes a substitute.
The policy of the Great Song Dynasty is too lenient, as a child of the royal family, as long as he does not rebel, he can live an extremely nourishing life, he can quarrel with the minister, he can roar loudly, in short, the children of the royal family are privileged and are not afraid of anyone. As the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, in most cases, he will not go to the court, and he is too lazy to go to the court, and he will only go to court on issues related to the prince's wealth, or fiefdoms, or titles. Then there was a loud roar in the court, louder than the voice.
"If you go to the temple, you will go to the temple, there is nothing remarkable!" Zhao Pu said indifferently.
……
Walking up to the main hall for the first time, Zhao Pu glanced around from the corner of his eye, and his eyes flashed with playfulness.
In later generations, Kaifeng has been greatly different from the Kaifeng of the Song Dynasty, the architectural pattern has occurred, many palaces have long been destroyed, leaving only the wreckage, showing the glory of the past. And at this moment, I really saw the palace of the Great Song Dynasty.
The discussion is in the martial arts hall, and the lights in the hall are relatively bright, but there is less luxury, luxury, and majesty of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and more civilian, simplistic. There were two rows of people standing on both sides of the main hall, most of whom Zhao Pu didn't know, only a few, and those few were members of the royal family.
There are very few people who know each other, just say hello to those royals, and stand in an inconspicuous corner.
Soon, Song Qinzong went to the palace. The ministers came up and said a few things, most of which revolved around the war.
"Official, now that the Jin army is in the city, they have cut off contact with the outside world, grain and grass cannot be transferred in, and the prices of rice, vegetables, meat, etc. have risen rapidly, more than five times on weekdays. Ask the government to issue a decree to stabilize prices. At this time, an official of the household department spoke
"Prices must be flattened, but there are regulations for how they are!"
"Official, Weichen has already sent the excerpt, more than three days, but there is still no reply!" The household official said.
"Officials of the three provinces, you must have fun, and you ministers must also hurry up and make a charter!" Song Qinzong said decent words.
The six prime ministers hurriedly pleaded guilty.
Then, there is the allocation of weapons, the adjustment of the army's establishment, and so on, which can be described as extremely complicated. Zhao Pu listened at first, and was still a little interested, but gradually his legs were a little numb, his eyes were a little sleepy, and he unconsciously took a nap and fell into a daze.
"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to impeach King Yi for crossing the ancestral system and training a new army!" At this moment, a voice that seemed to be like thunder rang out.
Zhao Pu's body couldn't help trembling slightly, and his sleepiness suddenly dissipated, and he raised his head to look at the impeached person. Judging from the costume, he is an envoy, but he is too old, at least fifty years old, and he is roaring like a tiger at the moment.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yi, is a useless soldier, but he has vainly organized and trained a new army, and the minister suspects that King Yi has bad intentions and tries to rebel!" There is an envoy road.
"In the past, Zhao Kuo talked about soldiers on paper, lost power and humiliated the country; Now, His Royal Highness King Yi is talking about military affairs, and he will be ashamed of defeat! ”
"The new army has a lot of money, and it doesn't need to be trained, it will only make some people make waves!"
One by one, the ministers, you and I said a word, and immediately began to spit in their mouths, frantically attacking Zhao Pu, and one after another specious reasons poured out, as if in a moment he became a scum with three wrong views, dark thoughts, and the Great Song Dynasty.
It seems that if he is not cut down, the Great Song Dynasty will perish; It seems that if you don't scold him for a few evil words, it seems that you lack a sense of justice.
In the Great Song Dynasty, it became a tradition of the literati, and it was also one of the strongest means for the literati to attack their political opponents. Accusations against such and such an official do not need sufficient reasons, as long as they are rumors on the street, they can become evidence in court and the best means of convicting a crime.
Under the rumors, many officials suffered losses, and finally the tragedy was caused by the official or demoted. And even if the accusation is not true, it will only end up being a warning or a change from a central official to a local official. It can be said that the cost is very low, the risk is small, but the benefit is very large.
Under the wind and words, Yue Fei died in the Fengbo Pavilion on trumped-up charges, achieving the greatest tragedy in Chinese history.
However, Zhao Pu did not rush to refute, going into battle shirtless is the most stupid means, and it is also the most helpless means, so he will naturally speak for him, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
"Ridiculous, His Royal Highness King Yi is a prince, with a body of ten thousand gold, he could have lived a comfortable life, but for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty, he did not hesitate to recruit new troops, contribute to the country, and sacrifice his life to go to the country. At this time, a big guy in the front row spoke.
"Bai Shizhong, you traitor. You're misleading! A pampered prince, how to lead the troops, who is not Zhao Kuo? ”
"His Royal Highness King Yi, there are less than 1,000 people in the new army alone, and even if the training is abolished, it is still a matter of the overall situation. And Zhao Kuo's army of 400,000 was all wiped out, almost causing the Zhao State to perish, how can the two be equal! At this time, a handsome and dashing middle-aged man spoke.
Beautiful man! Zhao Pu sighed secretly in his heart. This product is the best beautiful man, the killer of young girls and young women, hook hands, there are definitely a large number of women in their arms. I couldn't help but whisper to the side and ask, "Who is he?" ”
"He's Dazai Lee Kuni-hiko."
"Damn!" Zhao Pu scolded in his heart. This thing looks so handsome, but why is it a traitor.
"Has Lord Zhang forgotten the disaster of the five generations?"
Soon, around this topic, the court was divided into two factions, and a violent quarrel broke out. One faction is the main battle faction dominated by Li Gang, and the other side is the surrender faction such as Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan. It's just that above the court, it is obvious that the surrender faction is slightly higher in terms of quantity and quality. With a strong number of pressures, Li Gang's faction made a big concession, and some of them could not support it in the debate.
It's just that Zhao Pu was a little surprised that it was Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and others who supported him, that is, the surrender faction of the Great Song Dynasty. And those who want to turn him into a chaotic minister and thief, and those who want to kill him are actually Li Gang's faction.
Zhao Pu couldn't help muttering in his heart, why do I like to be a surrender faction like this, am I born to be a surrender faction? The capitulationists looked at me and supported me.
However, the debate between the two sides was somewhat off-topic, and the question of the Forces nouvelles shifted to the question of the peace treaty.
"The Jin army is coming to the city, how can the new army built to save the situation, it is better to try to restrain the army, unite as one, and work together to repel the Jin army, this is the right way!"
"The Jin army is strong, I don't know how many times stronger than the Liao army at the time of the Lanyuan Alliance, how can it be repelled as said! For today's plan, only by using peace as a bargaining chip, delaying time, and waiting for the division of King Qin is the royal way. ”
"Scholars must have backbone, how can I bend my knees to the barbarian beasts and sign an alliance under the city! How do we go to our fathers! In the past, Shi Jingjiao lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and now if I lose the land of Hebei and Hedong, what is the difference between me and them! ”
"If you can fight, who wants to negotiate peace? If I had been strong and strong, would I have negotiated peace with the barbarians and promised such a humiliating treaty. But in fact, our dynasty was weakened, and in the face of the Jin army, it was about to collapse, and hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops quickly collapsed, dying and fleeing. Our army is too weak to sign a contract in humiliation. A humiliating contract in exchange for a chance to recuperate, and then the Northern Expedition to the Golden Army! Li Bangyan said.
Li Gang stood up angrily at this moment, and said with a rigid expression: "Negotiate peace, this makes me dusty, the Son of Heaven is dusty, a hundred years later, how will the history books evaluate us?" This is infamy through the ages! ”
Zhao Pu already knew in his heart that the reason for the surrender faction was that they could not negotiate peace, and they would have a chance to recuperate with a harsh treaty; And the reason for the anti-war faction is that they can't afford to lose people when they sign an alliance under the city, and they are thrown into the ancestral grave!
The reasons for the surrender faction are reasonable, but because there is no bottom line for compromise, and in the end it will be left for 10,000 years; The reasons of the anti-war faction are also reasonable, but they do not have the strength and do not accept relenting, which is destined to be a tragedy.
Between the two parties, there were constant fights and fights, and they completely forgot that the Jin army was coming to the city, and Song Qinzong, who was at war with the times, could be said to have aggravated the contradictions between them. At the moment of life and death, there is still a constant struggle, which is too tragic!
Zhao Pu was extremely disappointed, ignoring the arguments between the two sides, as if he was an outsider, constantly walking in his mind.
"Don't quarrel, how can you quarrel like a shrew!" At this time, Song Qinzong slapped the table and shouted.
"The ministers are guilty!" The courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and asked for their sins, looking like they deserved to die and repented, but who knew how much remorse they had in their hearts.
"Brother Huang, I don't know what to say?" Song Qinzong suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Zhao Pu.
"The younger brother is guilty!" Zhao Pu immediately knelt on the ground, wiped his sleeves, and tears flowed from his eyes (can you not cry if you have ginger cheating!). "The younger brother is a gentleman, fighting cocks and walking dogs, and he is useless. However, the golden thieves came to the city, invaded our land, humiliated my people, trampled on my ancestral tomb, and were very ashamed! What a shame and shame that has never been seen before! The younger brother is not talented, he is willing to follow Ban Chao, conquer foreign races, defend my country, and will not regret even if he dies. But the minister of the court and the central government actually said that the minister has the heart of not being subordinate, and I am wronged! Please ask the imperial brother to revoke the responsibility of the subordinate brother to organize and train the new army, and send another man to avoid suspicion. The younger brother is willing to hold a spear and become a pawn, fighting on the battlefield, killing one is enough, killing two to earn one...... Woohoo......"
Saying this, Zhao Pu knelt on the ground and cried.
Only crying children can eat milk, and only those who can say grievances can be sympathized.
