Chapter 149: Zhao Gou asked

When passing through the main gate, the forbidden army at the door no longer stopped it.

But even so, Lin Yuan didn't dare to ride his horse into the palace.

In ancient times, no one could ride a horse in the palace unless the emperor was particularly gracious.

Walk into the palace and walk towards the harem under the leadership of a little eunuch.

Not long after Zhao Gou came down from the early dynasty, he should be resting in the harem dormitory at this time.

This is the first time Lin Yuan has gone to the harem.

The Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Palace, located at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, has built more than a dozen palaces of all sizes.

Along the way, there are goldfish family ponds in the harem, small West Lake, Wanshou Bridge on the lake, there are four pavilions in the middle of the bridge, the lakeside base stone is Wanshou Mountain, like Feilai Peak, a Juyuan building on the peak, there are Xiangyuan Hall, Qingshen Hall, Songju Three Paths, Meipo, Yuexie, Furong Gang, Huanxi and other landscapes around Xiaoxi Lake.

Some young women dressed in light gauze and with beautiful faces shuttled back and forth among the flowers.

Many women felt that Lin Yuan was very strange, so they hurriedly covered their faces with a light veil, and were shy.

There were also some girls who seemed to know Lin Yuan and talked with their companions beside them.

"This is the newly crowned King of Chujiang from His Majesty, and he has come to the palace to thank him."

"Wow, that's so young!"

"Although King Chujiang is young, his prestige is very high, and he has worked hard outside to become the biggest lord in the Southern Song Dynasty, and I heard that he can already be compared with Yue Fei and others."

"It's amazing!"

……

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, Lin Yuan did not squint, passed through the flowers and the small West Lake, and arrived at Rensheng Palace.

This is Zhao Gou's dormitory.

Usually, after Zhao Gou got down from the early court, he would take a break in Rensheng Palace for a while, and then review the chapters.

After Lin Yuan's arrival, the old eunuch standing at the door was overjoyed.

"Lord Wang, you're here!"

"Father-in-law, is Your Majesty resting?" Lin Yuan asked.

The old eunuch hurriedly replied: "The prince came at the right time, Your Majesty has just woken up and is about to go out for a walk. ”

At this moment, Zhao Gou's voice suddenly came from inside Rensheng Palace, "Li Wenzhong, who is outside?" ”

"Your Majesty, the King of Chujiang is here to thank you!" The old eunuch hurriedly replied.

"Oh, let Zhao Yuan wait for a moment."

"Yes!"

So, Lin Yuan stood outside Rensheng Palace and waited for about half a cup of tea.

The gate of Rensheng Palace has finally opened.

Zhao Gou wore a set of plainclothes dragon robes and walked out of the palace, his face a little haggard.

Didn't you say that Zhao Gou was resting? Why are you still so haggard when you wake up?

Lin Yuan didn't dare to think about it, so he saluted directly.

"Minister Zhao Yuan, see Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Zhao Gou waved his hand, looking very approachable.

"King Chu Jiang, go around with me."

"Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.

So, Zhao Gou walked in front, while Lin Yuan followed, and the group walked through the flowery garden and arrived at a pavilion on Xiaoxi Lake.

Immediately, there were eunuchs and palace maids, who put melons and fruits in the pavilion and served a cup of fragrant tea.

"Sit!" Zhao Gou motioned for Lin Yuan to sit down, "This is not the Daqing Palace, don't always put on these courtesies of monarchs and ministers, today you and I will be treated as uncles and nephews!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Yuan also sat down.

Zhao Gou blew the wind, took a sip of fragrant tea, and suddenly sighed.

"Zhao Yuan, my time is running out!"

"Why did Your Majesty ask this question?" Lin Yuan looked startled, and hurriedly added, "Your Majesty will definitely be able to live long live, long live, long live!" ”

After hearing this, Zhao Gou just smiled bitterly and said, "Long live? It's just a deception from the world. My own body, I know best. ”

Lin Yuan didn't rush to answer.

At this time, Zhao Gou suddenly grabbed Lin Yuan's hand and asked, "Zhao Yuan, I know that you are from the next generation, you tell me, how many more years can I live?" ”

Lin Yuan was shocked in his heart, Zhao Gou actually wanted to ask the destiny of heaven.

After hesitating for a moment, he still answered truthfully, "According to the records of later generations, Your Majesty can live to be 85 years old!" ”

"Eighty-five? So, I still have half a life to go! Zhao Gou let go of Lin Yuan's hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I will ask you again, how many years has the Great Song Jiangshan continued after me?"

"This ......" Lin Yuan suddenly became very hesitant.

He really didn't want to tell Zhao Go, because doing so would be a complete leak of the heavenly secret.

However, Lin Yuan felt that if he took this as a game strategy, he suddenly felt that it was not so scary.

So, he replied directly: "Your Majesty asked, and the minister had to answer, after Your Majesty, there were nine emperors in the Great Song Dynasty, and it took a total of 150 years to perish!" ”

When Zhao Gou heard the news, a trace of sadness clearly flashed in his eyes.

"But at the hands of the Jin Kingdom?"

Lin Yuan shook his head directly, "Jin Guo will die in the Southern Song Dynasty for decades!" ”

"What!" Zhao Gou thought he had misheard, "This is impossible!" The Jin State has such a strong army, how could anyone defeat them? ”

"What the minister said is true, the Jin State has begun to decline since the end of Yan Zongbi's generation, and after a few decades, a nomadic people will rise on the Mobei grassland, called the Mongol tribes, their forces are stronger than the Jurchens, one of the leaders is called Genghis Khan, it is he who defeated the Jin State."

Zhao Gou was shocked when he heard what Lin Yuan told about the afterlife.

"Who else is stronger than the Jurchens? Could it be that my Southern Song Dynasty also died in the end by the Mongolian tribes? ”

Lin Yuan nodded lightly.

Zhao Gou stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began to pace back and forth.

I don't know what he's thinking.

After a long time, he asked, "If from now on, what do you think I should do to avoid the collapse of the dynasty in a hundred years?" ”

That's when I got to the point.

The key reason for the Song Dynasty was the corruption of the political system, redundant soldiers and officials, and the huge economic system was dragged down alive.

If you want to change, in addition to reform, another point is to change everyone's thinking.

This simply can't be done.

Therefore, Lin Yuan had to shake his head: "The minister can't think of a good way!" ”

"Then come closer, what do you think of the current situation in the imperial court?" Zhao Gou asked very seriously.

Lin Yuan thought about it, he could analyze the situation in front of him.

"Now that the Jin soldiers have invaded the Luzhou Mansion in the south, Your Majesty still needs to make a decision as soon as possible and transfer the generals of the West to defend themselves!"

"In addition, Zhong Chu's rebellion is uneven, Yue Fei's troops will always be involved in the Jinghu area, the minister's capture of Zhang Bangchang alive this time was originally an excellent opportunity for the Northern Expedition, but because there are Zhong Chu rebels behind him, Yue Fei did not dare to go north, and missed the opportunity to recover Kaifeng Mansion in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Gou sighed slightly, "I don't know that the Zhong Chu rebellion is a great disaster, but now, in the entire Jinghu area, there is not even a sailor, and it is not easy to suppress the Zhong Chu rebellion!" ”

Lin Yuan did not continue to speak.

Although he could answer that his territorial army, with both land and water, and with Yue Fei's Yue family's army, he could completely eat Zhong Chu's rebels.

However, he couldn't control Zhao Gou's mind at the moment.

It is said that a companion is like a tiger!

Don't look at Lin Yuan's intimacy with Zhao Gou now, which has reached 30 points of goodwill, but once it angers Zhao Gou or arouses the suspicion in his heart, these 30 points of goodwill value are likely to become negative in an instant.
