Chapter 61: Stormy and Stormy
The crown princess Zhu Lian quietly looked at the prince Zhao Heng, who loved her deeply, and the indescribable sweetness in her heart, and bursts of excitement surged into her heart.
As a woman, Zhao Heng's approach deeply touched her, there is such a man to love, in this vast sea of people is an ordinary happiness, not to mention that Zhao Heng is not an ordinary person but the future emperor of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, set the highest glory in the world, compared to the fate of many royal women being left out in the cold, she is already very lucky, although he does not like the man around him very much, but his every move slowly conquers his heart, his this:" I'd rather not live up to myself than the country", which was enough to make her heart deeply shocked.
The man in front of him, who has no opinion on governing the country, is very considerate and caring for himself, even if he is hard-hearted, he will be melted by this persistent feeling, not to mention that he is also a mortal heart, how can there be no reason not to be moved.
The crown princess Zhu Lian sighed deeply when she thought of this, this sigh contains all kinds of feelings, both relieved and helpless, both happy and disappointed, as his husband, he is completely the best man in the world, the prince's mansion is beautiful with three thousand, and beautiful women are like clouds, but this man only loves himself, as a future emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he cannot be a qualified emperor at all, he is cowardly by nature, lacks courage, is indecisive in trouble, and kind-hearted, Unable to assume the responsibilities that an emperor should bear, in the face of this stormy country, he does not have the courage to turn the tide at all, he will only dance and write in the gentle township, there is no emperor at all, Zhu Lian seems to be able to feel that the future Great Song Dynasty wants the kite with a broken line in the wind in the sky has no direction, no goal, flying alone in the sky, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
As the crown princess, all he can do is to serve the prince well, serve his man well, and do his best to persuade him to put his mind on the country and deal with the government, which can be regarded as the greatest contribution to the country as a woman, but what Zhu Lian didn't expect was that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change Zhao Heng's cowardly nature, leaving him with only a miserable and sad end.
The crown princess Zhu Lian didn't say anything when she thought of this: "Just hugged the prince tightly, hugged the man in front of her who made her sad and happy, looked at Zhao Heng with a blank face, looked at this handsome and dashing man, she secretly swore in her heart that in this life and this life, she gave all the things that a woman could give him without reservation to the man in front of her, and was willing to die for him, which is also the only way to repay his affection."
The two people hugged each other in the peach garden like this, no sorrow, no worries, looking at each other, some were just full of affection, full of sweetness, as if playing a moving movement in this peach blossom season.
Time flies, spring goes to winter, the days go on sweetly day by day, after all, it is the prince who does not play a key role in the decision-making of major matters, and the ministers of the court, the husband and wife live a very sweet life, that feeling of affection has become the envy of everyone in the palace, the husband and wife walk hand in hand under the moon in front of the flowers, no matter where they go, they attract passers-by a sigh of admiration.
After a spring and autumn in a blink of an eye, their love has fruits and flowers of happiness, and Zhu Lian gave birth to a strong son for Zhao Huan, who was later the eldest son Zhao Chen, and gave birth to a beautiful and gentle daughter for him the following year, which was the later Princess Roujia.
In the laughter, I spent a few more comfortable days.
The smart crown princess Zhu Lian is deeply loved by Huizong and the crown prince Zhao Huan because of her children, and Zhu Lian's status is gradually improving. But for Zhu Lian, these are not good signs, and she is only blamed for being born in the wrong era.
At this time, the Jin Dynasty, which arose in the northeast, was ready to move, and it had the idea of destroying the Liao State first and then destroying the Song Dynasty, and was eyeing the Great Song Dynasty all the time.
It was late at night, and the prince's mansion was still brightly lit, and the prince Zhao Heng sat on the chair and sighed for a long time, because he had deeply felt that the alliance between Song and Jin on the sea was like a sword inserted into the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, and it had already tossed the body of the Great Song Dynasty full of holes.
The crown princess Zhu Lian took a cotton coat, slowly walked to the prince Zhao Heng, gently draped the cotton clothes on the prince's body, and looked at him affectionately.
He deeply felt that his husband was too tired, this prince who was not good at handling government affairs at all, was annoyed by the government affairs in this crisis, exhausted, she saw it in her eyes, hurt in her heart, in order to comfort the sad and sad prince, he gently stepped forward and stroked the prince's fair and delicate face with Qianqianyu's hand, and the pink jade lips kissed gently on the prince's forehead.
Zhao Heng was moved for a while, as if he wanted the warm sun in winter to shine on his body, and felt a wave of heat flowing all over his body.
Seeing that his wife Zhao Heng seemed to have forgotten his troubles, he smiled slightly, raised his head and stretched out his hand to hug Zhu Lian's slender waist, and the two of them were affectionately entangled together.
Only at this time can the crown prince Zhao Heng forget all his troubles and happily spend a good time with the crown princess.
After a period of affectionate lingering, the crown princess felt a little tired, so she went back to the house to rest, the prince still sat quietly on the chair alone and recalled everything after the sea alliance, he deeply felt that the sea alliance was a scam, it was a trap set by the Jin Dynasty in the north to the Great Song Dynasty in the south, but the father was in Tong Guan, Cai Jing and other traitors instigated the next step into this trap.
Prince Zhao Heng's thoughts suddenly returned to 1004 AD.
This is a day that the Great Song Dynasty will never forget, and you are also the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty from light to confusion.
In 1004 A.D., after Song Zhenzong and Liao signed the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Song and Liao maintained a peace for about a hundred years, although there was a small friction on the border between the two sides, but there was no major war, Song and Liao did not have the ability to completely destroy each other, so a long-term common situation was formed, and there was nothing to do with each other for a hundred years.
During this period, the Jurchen people, who had been ruled by the Liao Dynasty for a long time, continued to rise, and after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, under the leadership of Wanyan Aguta, they launched an attack on the Liao State with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying.
Tong Guan of the Great Song Dynasty was a sycophant treacherous giant, Tong Guan used soldiers to win a small victory, and after a slight upper hand in the contest with the Western Xia, he was proud and complacent and started the idea of the Liao State, and took the initiative to ask the Liao Dynasty to explore the truth. Under the repeated instigation of Tong Guan, the foreign policy of the Song Dynasty made serious mistakes, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong ignored the opposition of Dazai Zheng Juzhong, the ruling of the Privy Council Deng Xunwu, An Yaochen and other ministers, listened to Tong Guan's rumors, treacherously raised unrighteous soldiers, and joined the Jin soldiers with the heart of tigers and wolves.
The Northern Song Dynasty, which has been reconciled with the Liao State for more than 100 years, in order to recapture the land of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures from the hands of the Liao Dynasty, in the first year of Yu Chonghe, in 1118 AD, he sent an envoy to Jin by sea to discuss the joint destruction of Liao, and later after a long period of unequal negotiations, the Song and Jin reached a unanimous agreement, in 1120 AD, the Song and Jin countries formed a maritime alliance, and agreed that Jin attacked Liao Zhongjing, and after the Song attack on Liao Yanjing was completed, the sixteen states of Yanyun returned to Song, and Song needed to transfer the annual coins originally dedicated to Liao to Jin, and the rest of the land of Liao was also returned to Jin.
In 1122 A.D., the Jin people attacked Liao in the fourth year of Xuanhe, and at that time, under the pursuit of the Jin people, Emperor Tianzuo of Liao had fled into Jiashan, and Yeluchun was proclaimed as the Emperor of Tianxi, known as the Northern Liao in history, supporting the endgame. Tong Guan suppressed Fang La, is full of ambition, thinking that as long as the Song army north expedition, Yeluchun will look at the wind to welcome the surrender, Youyan's hometown can be fully entered the king's map, Song Ting originally thought that according to this can easily seize Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, but did not expect that the Liao army could not withstand the attack of the Jin soldiers, but was not afraid to fight with the decaying Song army, as a result, the Northern Song Dynasty twice sent troops to attack Yanjing, were defeated by the Yanjing defenders of Liao, by the end of the year, the Jin soldiers marched from Juyong Pass to conquer Yanjing.
In this way, the Jin people said that they would no longer hand over the Yanyun Prefectures to the Northern Song Dynasty. After bargaining between the two sides, the Northern Song Dynasty repeatedly backed down, and in the end, the Jin Dynasty only promised to hand over Yanjing and its six prefectures and 24 counties to the Northern Song Dynasty, but asked the Northern Song Dynasty to hand over the 400,000-year-old coins originally given to the Liao Dynasty every year, and also to hand over the taxes of the 24 counties in these six states to the Jin Dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty promised to pay another 1 million guan every year as the "tax money" of the six states of Yanjing, and the Jin Dynasty agreed to withdraw the troops from Yanjing, but when the troops were withdrawn, the Jin soldiers swept away the golden silks, children, gentry, and wealthy households of Yanjing, and only handed over a few empty cities to the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Song-Jin Maritime Alliance ended in 1125 A.D. with the fall of the Liao State, and at this time, the Song Dynasty did not get a trace of benefit from the Song-Liao War, on the contrary, the battle of Yan exposed the decay and weakness of the Song Dynasty.
Tong Guan went to "Fu Yan Song", described a series of defeats as victories, and boasted of "triumphant return to the teacher". Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Cai You and others were all added to the ranks. Hundreds of officials congratulated one after another, and set up the "Fuyan Cloud Monument" to make a record. The Northern Song Dynasty was about to fall, but the monarchs and ministers of Huizong were deluded and intoxicated by the "victory" of the so-called "Fuyanyun".
