Chapter 501: Stone Lion Descends from the Sky
Shen Long was angry not for anything else, but because Sima Guang was still the same as in history, Su Song conveyed Sima Guang's remarks in the court, "Westerners have been peeking at the river for a long time...... In case the Westerners accumulate resentment and resentment, recklessly rebel hearts, raise the crowd of dogs and sheep, throw themselves into the gaps, drive deeply, overthrow the army and kill the generals, the soldiers are in trouble, and the world is in turmoil, when it is, although there are thousands of villages, can it be beneficial? …… It's not as beautiful as today! ”
The meaning of the words is that the land that the Great Song Dynasty has now recovered has been spied on by the Western Xia for a long time, and you Wang Shao patronized himself to establish his own military exploits, but forgot about the party members, if this move angered the party members, they attacked on a large scale, what should the Great Song Dynasty do? Recovering these lands may seem like a good thing at the moment, but in the long run, it may not be.
"Sima Junshi suggested that His Majesty return Hehuang and other places to the Qiang people, but the Great Song Dynasty was worry-free, and he was scolded back by the Minister of Jiefu, but Sima Junshi was not reconciled, and he is now entangled with the same party to prepare to write again." Su Song frowned and said.
"Haha!" , Shen Long laughed angrily, "Sima Junshi's move reminds me of a big bird unique to the extreme west, called an ostrich, this bird can raise its head to shoulder with people, but it is timid by nature, but when it encounters a fierce beast, it buries its head in the sand, thinking that the beast will not be able to see it, Sima Junshi's move is the same as this ostrich." ”
"The Book of Tang? There are clouds in the Legend of Tocharo: Tocharo, the first year of Yongzheng dedicated a big bird, seven feet high, black, a foot camel, with wings flapped, three hundred miles a day, can be iron, commonly known as an ostrich, is it not this kind of bird? Su Song is a gentleman, and he doesn't like to talk about people's strengths and weaknesses behind his back, so he forked the road.
"That's right, but it's a lie to be able to eat iron." The title of the iron-eating beast is rolling, what kind of business does the ostrich rob? Shen Long is not a gentleman, he felt that the ostrich metaphor was not ruthless enough, so he said, "It's like that turtle, but whenever something happens, he shrinks his head into his shell, thinking that he can escape in this way, isn't it ridiculous?" ”
"Even if Wang Shao doesn't attack Hehuang, the party people won't attack the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the Great Song can't defeat the party members, they will come back sooner or later." Sima Guang's approach is not unique, and the world-famous Han Qi has also done similar things.
Han Qi was defeated by Western Xia when he was in the northwest, and he lost countless divisions and land, but he was not punished much, and he was still in a high position.
He gave seven policies: first, don't associate with the Goryeo Kingdom, which would make the Liao people unhappy, because the Goryeo Kingdom was behind the ass of the Liao State; Second, it is wrong for us to seize the Hehuang region by force; Third, don't plant trees on the border. Because the woods have the potential military value of blocking the cavalry of the Liao State, it will also make the Liao people unhappy; Fourth, don't train the people; Fifth, don't build a city on the border; Sixth, do not manufacture weapons and equipment; Finally, revoke the newly appointed generals on the border.
If these seven policies are implemented, the Great Song Dynasty will be completely defenseless in front of the Liao State; As for how to solve the threat of the Liao State, it is written in the sage book: The emperor is benevolent and benevolent, and the world will naturally be attached to it, not to mention a small Liao country!
Han Qi is a good fate, he was born in the Great Song Dynasty, if you put it in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that you will be thrown to the border city like Di Shan, and let him use the sage education to persuade the Khitans.
The Great Song Dynasty's spirit of founding the country and Confucianism's spirit of conformism were perfectly combined, making it completely impossible to change the situation in which the Song Dynasty was passively beaten.
The sense of shame of the Confucian scholars is very peculiar, and the regular order is what they want to maintain vigorously, as long as the regular order remains unchanged, no matter how great the external defeat of the country suffers, they have neither a sense of crisis nor any shame; What is even stranger is that not only do they not feel ashamed, but they can even be proud.
There are these fucked things in the court, even if the generals can fight again, the things they won will have to be thrown away by them, Shen Long used to be angry when he saw this in the history books, but now that he heard what Sima Guang did, where can he still endure it? If I didn't give you something powerful this time, I wouldn't be surnamed Shen!
After talking to Su Song for a while, learning about the latest teaching and research progress of the school, and giving Su Song a few ideas, Shen Long went back to the room to rest under the pretext of being tired from the journey.
As soon as it was dark, Shen Long felt out of the room, flew to the west on the somersault cloud, flew for about two or three hundred miles, and saw a few hills in front of him and landed, sneaked to the middle one, and then quietly flew back to Kaifeng.
The lights are still on in Sima Guang's study, and he is vigorously criticizing Wang Shao's move to expand his territory with many old party cadres; Wang Shao's merits, whether they are placed in the Han and Tang dynasties or the Ming Dynasty, are definitely great achievements, even if they are placed in the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong will be happy to listen to it, and quickly change his top ten military exploits to the eleventh congress.
But in the eyes of people like Sima Guang, they have become a scourge, and I don't know how these people's brains grow? If you are afraid of the Western Xia attack, you will train your troops to kill the Western Xia! I'm afraid that the Khitan Iron Cavalry will set up a defensive line in Hebei! Is there a reason to make meritorious contributions but reprimand meritorious heroes?
"Wang Shao, a person like Wang Shao, who is a disaster in the country, must not stay in the northwest, when the court is recalled and severely reprimanded, tomorrow we will definitely persuade the officials!" The discussion was almost over, and Sima Guang began to assign tasks, and whoever stood up first to mention this matter began to beat the side drum again, and who would start an argument with the people in the new party.
He can't fight, and when he encounters the attacks of the Western Xia and the party, he becomes a shrunken king, but he is as good as an old fox when he plays political struggle.
As soon as everyone arrived at the door, they heard a gust of wind, and a swarthy mass fell from the sky and smashed on the street at Sima Guang's door, making a loud bang and splashing countless smoke and dust.
At this time, these civil officials were almost frightened, and at that moment, some people collapsed to the ground, their legs trembling, and the guards in Sima Guang's mansion hurriedly protected them.
When the smoke and dust cleared a little, someone had the courage to carry a lantern to shine a photo, only to see that what fell at Sima Guang's door was a huge stone lion, and the stone lion was facing Sima Guang's mansion door with an angry face, and there seemed to be something written on his chest
This person took a few steps forward with a lantern, and under the illumination of the light, the words on the lion's chest also appeared, and I saw that the words "traitor" were written on it in blood!
Now, everyone will look at Sima Guang, this is at your doorstep!
