"I'm going to Lin'an. Pack your things. When Zhao Jiaren got home, he didn't sit down, so he said to his wife Qin Yuzhen.

Without waiting for Qin Yuzhen to speak, the youngest son next to him had already grabbed Zhao Jiaren's trouser leg and said in a milky voice: "Daddy, daddy." ”

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Jiaren bent down and asked the anxious little guy.

"Hug." The little one, who was more than a year old, let go of Zhao Jiaren's trouser leg and grabbed Zhao Jiaren's hand as he spoke.

Zhao Jiaren picked up his second son, not only picked him up, but also carried him around the house. Soon, the little one was quiet. It's not that the little ones want to make trouble, they have to be held and moved around like this, so that the little things, including the baby, feel that "I am safe, someone is paying attention to me". In addition, if the mother needs to hold the little one to escape from danger urgently, being able to quickly calm down in this situation can obviously improve the survival rate of herself and the mother.

In the evolutionary process of life and death, the survival rate of those with this pre-loaded gene is higher, and those who do not have this inheritance are eliminated in the long evolutionary history. Of course, the little things also have this pre-installed program that "feels safe to be carried and walked, and immediately feels uneasy when put down", and this pre-installed program cannot be deleted.

Zhao Jiaren did not choose to use various training to reverse it, but chose to adapt to this natural change. Psychiatrists have a lot of opinions on the impact of 'uneasiness' on human beings, and Zhao Jiaren belongs to the category that feels satisfied with the sense of security first.

The baby has a sense of security, and the baby and his mother feel uneasy from her husband's words. Qin Yuzhen said hesitantly: "Are you going to Lin'an to fight?" ”

Zhao Jiaren sighed, "The Mongols have abandoned Lin'an, and they are retreating north of the Yangtze River. After I arrived in Lin'an, there was nothing to fight. ”

Qin Yuzhen was silent, she carefully looked at her husband's expression. Judging from Zhao Jiaren's expression, he did not have the slightest joy. If it was ten years ago when she first got married, Qin Yuzhen would definitely ask Zhao Jiaren why she was unhappy, and would break the casserole to ask to the end. Now she no longer makes such a choice, living with Zhao Jiaren made her very tired, and then Qin Yuzhen finally found that even if she wasted all her strength to barely keep up with her husband's train of thought, she couldn't achieve the goal of being a husband and wife.

As Zhao Jiaren once said, the husband and wife sing with the woman is by no means a later run-in, but when the two have completely the same idea in some aspects, they naturally sing the husband and the wife or the woman sings the husband. But husbands and wives must also recognize different things on many things, and even have opposing views.

Hearing the news of the fall of Lin'an, Qin Yuzhen felt as if the sky was about to fall. However, she could see that her husband Zhao Jiaren was not very happy in his heart, at least he was very relaxed, as if he had unloaded a thousand pounds of burden.

When her husband became the youngest Zuo Prime Minister in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, Qin Yuzhen felt that she was not dreaming, but she was also worried about whether her husband was roasted on the fire. When facing the crisis of losing the country, it is not easy for this left prime minister to be. But Zhao Jiaren is very comfortable with the status quo of becoming the pinnacle of power, as if he has been sitting in this position all along.

Now that she learned that Lin'an had been recovered, Qin Yuzhen really wanted to laugh out loud. However, seeing the coldness in her husband's eyes, she felt that this matter was by no means so simple. Looking at the warm scene of her husband walking around the house with their young son in her arms, Qin Yuzhen opened her mouth and asked, "Then when will you go back to Fuzhou." ”

Listening to the little son's milky voice talking about the little guy, Zhao Jiaren said to Qin Yuzhen: "If there is nothing that can't be solved if I don't go back to Fuzhou, I shouldn't return to Fuzhou." When the battle situation is stabilized, Lin'an will not be raided by the Mongol army, and I will take you all to Lin'an. It is estimated that it will not be long. ”

"How long will this battle last?" Qin Yuzhen asked a question that she felt was the most critical.

"Fight until we and Mongolia can't fight anymore." Zhao Jiaren gave Qin Yuzhen an answer as before.

knows that he may not be able to accept Zhao Jiaren's thoughts, and he also knows that he may not be able to understand why Zhao Jiaren looks at the problem this way. However, Qin Yuzhen knew that this was Zhao Jiaren's true words, and she could only choose to accept such a reality.

Qin Yuzhen misunderstood Zhao Jiaren a little, she felt that Zhao Jiaren had to talk to her. In fact, Zhao Jiaren is willing to talk to his wife, and he can't take out many things to tell others. It's very uncomfortable to hold back the words in your heart.

The court is now filled with joy, and the officials of the former Lin'an court or the cadres under Zhao Jiaren are the same. Even if it was not by force to retake Lin'an, the withdrawal of the Mongol army from Lin'an meant that the worst period was over, and the once seemingly irresistible Mongols entered the retreat stage. In such a mood, Zhao Jiaren proposed to move the imperial court from Fuzhou back to Lin'an, and everyone was even happier.

Zhao Jiaren really wanted to be as happy as everyone else, but he couldn't be happy.

Procrastination was not Zhao Jiaren's habit, and since he decided to return to Lin'an, he did not hesitate at all. The imperial court, which was already small in scale, boarded the ship and set sail. It happened to be a light snow on the solar term, and the sky in Fuzhou was just gray, and there were no snowflakes falling.

There were already a lot of people preparing to leave, and those who came to see them off were saying goodbye outside and were not allowed to enter the dock area so as not to cause traffic chaos. However, Xu Yuanzhi was not among the ranks that was stopped. At this time, he paid homage to the Hubu Shangshu, although theoretically he should go north with the imperial court, but at this time, the grain and salary of the Great Song Dynasty had to rely on Guangdong Road, Jiaozhi County, Champa County, and Siam County. Hubu Shangshu can only sit on Fujian Road first. Moreover, when Xu Yuanzhi went north in the imperial court, he wanted to go south to Guangzhou.

Before leaving, Xu Yuanzhi came to see his nephew Sima Kao. Seeing Sima Kao's high-spirited appearance, Xu Yuanzhi said: "After you arrive in Lin'an, you must deal with Song traitor." ”

Sima Kao already knew that his uncle had come to say goodbye, and it was definitely not a parting. Everyone is so old, where do they still have the state of children. But even thinking of this, Sima Kao didn't expect Xu Yuanzhi to pay attention to this matter.

Nodding, Sima Kao replied: "As the secretary of the Criminal Department and the secretary of the Dali Temple, can I have anything else to deal with?" ”

Seeing that his nephew looked eager to try, Xu Yuanzhi sighed: "Sima, at this time, I don't think you should be rash. ”

In response to such advice, Sima Kao said briskly: "Uncle Shi, killing without teaching is abuse. Therefore I don't count the people. ”

Seeing that his nephew expressed his views so implicitly, Xu Yuanzhi could only say more clearly, "If you kill those civil and military officials, it will already cause instability in people's hearts." And what I'm most worried about is that those people run away, and you probably won't let their families go. If the family members of those people betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, they would have already run away at this time. It's bad for their families, and that's over. ”

Sima Kao shook his head, "Uncle Shi, I understand what you said. But if it weren't for their family's clear enmity with the Mongols, I probably wouldn't have given them their former status. Times have changed, uncle, times have changed! Before we didn't have a Motherland, now we have! ”

Xu Yuanzhi was so confused by Sima Kao's tough attitude that he didn't know how to answer for a while. Since following Zhao Jiaren, Sima Kao can feel that many of the truths told by Zhao Jiaren are very good, but he feels that there are always some unkind places. It's like the 'motherland'. In the past, they all talked about the state of their parents that could not be abandoned, but for scholars, they talked about whether the emperor was immoral and whether there was anything wrong. Or is the minister of power, Jia seems to be doing nonsense, so the Great Song Dynasty has exhausted its energy. In short, it makes sense for them to surrender.

Zhao Jiaren does not talk about the rights and wrongs of these personal gains and losses, from a national perspective, Zhao Jiaren is radical and incomparable. As Chinese, we must love the motherland. Patriotism is the obligation that every Chinese Chinese, including the emperor, must fulfill. But all treason and betrayal are in the category of everyone who gets and is condemned. Including the emperor, even if the whole world belongs to the emperor, the emperor has no right to commit treason and betray the country.

In the past, power and ideas were under the emperor, and the emperor had the power to make the choices he deemed to be. At the time of the Mongol invasion, Xu Yuanzhi saw that Zhao Jiaren had made a completely different choice from previous dynasties. There is at least one content that overrides the emperor, and if the emperor himself can't do it, others can have a legitimate reason to rebel against the emperor.

If it were someone else, it might be that Zhao Jiaren was restricting the power of the little emperor. However, Xu Yuanzhi has known Zhao Jiaren for more than ten years, and he does not think that Zhao Jiaren's ideals are limited to the present. In other words, Zhao Jiaren formulated a concept that overrides him. And Sima Kao is now going to act according to this concept against the Great Song Wenwu who surrendered to Mongolia and the families of these civil and military families.

Xu Yuanzhi continued to persuade: "It's easy to kill, but it's not easy to be compassionate. If you only want to take revenge, you are afraid that others will think that the court is mean. ”

Sima Kao originally had a smile on his face, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but change his face, and he said indignantly: "The Great Song Dynasty has been a monk for hundreds of years, and how did those civil and military generals treat the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, they still have the face to say that the court is mean? ”

"What if those men turn from darkness to light?" Xu Yuanzhi asked.

"Abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" Sima Kao's eyes widened in surprise, "Uncle Shi, they betrayed the Great Song Dynasty once, and then betrayed Mongolia again. This...... This...... What's the use of keeping them with this kind of repetitive villain? Teacher! Teacher! You don't have to worry, I will never be tyrannical to the people. They were just ordinary people, and before the Mongols came, they paid taxes on grain to the Great Song Dynasty. The Mongols came, and in order to survive, they were forced to do something for the Mongols, which was not their intention. But I can't let those people go. ”

Xu Yuanzhi looked at his nephew and saw a deep look of hatred on his face. This is also something that Xu Yuanzhi is very worried about, Sima Kao is very smart, but it is too easy to drill the horns. In other words, he understands where justice lies, but it is easy to get lost in the action of using justice to vent his anger.

Sure enough, as Xu Yuanzhi expected, Sima Kao said viciously with abundant hatred: "Killing without teaching is abuse." Those who are officials have read books. They have all heard the truth of loyalty and patriotism, and they have all read that Yidi has a king, and it is not as good as the death of Zhuxia. Killing them is by no means a punishment for not teaching! ”
