The eyes of several people became serious, and King Gong's upper body was slightly tilted in the direction of Sun Beiji, waiting intently for Sun Ge Lao to speak.

"The arrogance of the Song Party is not necessarily a bad thing." Sun Beiji said slowly, "Their sixteen-year foundation was originally not shaken, you think about it, the four gentlemen of Jianan, the seven martyrs of Ruyang, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zeng Qi, and even the old chief assistant Xia Qingxia...... So many people rushed forward one after another, did the Song Party fall? ”

"So what," Hu Yishu clenched his fists and said, "They are always heroes who know what they can't do, and they will be famous in history in the future, and future generations will give them justice!" ”

Seeing that Hu Yishu's words were slightly off, Zhang Shouzhong hurriedly said, "What Elder Ge means is not that their sacrifice will be in vain, but that the fall of the Song Dynasty also depends on the timing, and you don't want the prince to follow in their footsteps." ”

Sun Beiji nodded indifferently and looked at King Gong, "Has the prince ever thought about why so many people fell to the Song Dynasty, and in the end, the Song father and son still stood there well." ”

King Gong's brows tightened slightly, and he fell into deep thought, and after a while, he respectfully bowed his hand, "Please give me advice." ”

Sun Beiji's face showed a little peace, and he said in a low voice, "Actually, what the emperor asks for is only two words......

And their ears were pricked up.

“…… Balance. Sun Beiji said.

King Gong was silent thoughtfully.

Zhang Shouzhong already understood, "What the elder said is very true! ”

"Can Master Zhang be clearer?" King Gong looked at Zhang Shouzhong sincerely and said respectfully, "This king still doesn't understand. ”

Zhang Shouzhong got up and bowed to King Gong's Sun Beiji, "Then I'll talk about my understanding first, if there are mistakes, omissions and biases, please ask the elder for guidance." ”

Sun Beiji nodded.

Zhang Shouzhong then continued, "Lord Wang, in fact, the balance that Elder Sun Ge said can be traced back to the beginning of the founding of my Great Zhou Dynasty. When Taizu set up Jinyi Wei and Yushitai, and when he became an ancestor, he set up a cabinet and a celebrant supervisor, in fact, they were all in pursuit of balance, the balance between the monarch and the minister.

"Whoever is strong in any of them will be suppressed by the king; Which side is suppressed too hard, the emperor will support it. Only when the provinces and ministries are implicated and restrained by each other can the imperial power have the greatest freedom. Zhang Shouzhong said eloquently, "This is the art of the emperor." ”

"I was a great Zhou Jianxi dynasty, the first 20 years of political harmony, the officialdom was clear, the literature was prosperous, there was quite a trend of a hundred schools of thought, and all parts of the court resisted, and it was a lot fairer, but it also rejected a lot of the will of the inner palace."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shouzhong looked at King Gong, "But most of it was a matter of Jianxi for one or two decades, I don't know if the prince still has an impression." ”

"At that time, the king was still young," King Gong shook his head, "but I remember that I heard Master Zhang and Master Sun say that the emperor issued seven wills in succession to rebuild the Immortal Spirit Garden, and the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, Lord Xia Qingxia, rejected it seven times in a row, saying that the cabinet could not issue a vote for such a will." ”

"Yes." Zhang Shouzhong nodded and said, "Lord Xia has a righteous spirit in the world in his heart, but the disgrace of the monarch and the minister is also born because of it. The rise of Song Bozong and others was basically in those years. The cabinet that the emperor wants is an institution that can deal with hundreds of officials on his behalf, and Lord Xia is full of enthusiasm, but he is in the wrong position. ”

When Sun Beiji heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"In the final analysis, now so many people have fallen into the Song Dynasty, and in the end, they have all poured themselves in, and in the final analysis, they still don't see the balance between them," Zhang Shouzhong continued, "They seem to want to clear the monarch's side and get rid of traitors, but most of the ridiculous things done by Song Bozong's father and son are done for the emperor, these people think they are turning down the Song Dynasty, but in fact, all the arrows shot out are inserted in the emperor's body!"

"It's strange that Song can be poured like this." Zhang Shouzhong said loudly.

When Hu Yishu heard this, he finally understood.

King Gong nodded, "So, what does Master Sun mean that now that the Song family has no fear, it is easy to break this balance?" ”

"The prince is smart! Exactly. Zhang Shouzhong looked at Sun Beiji, "Elder Ge, am I right?" ”

Sun Beiji stroked his palms and smiled, "Shouzhong's insights and ideas have become more and more sophisticated. ”

"But ......" King Gong still had some concerns.

"On the other side of the little prince, the old minister thinks that the prince doesn't need to pay attention to it at all." Sun Beiji said warmly, "Since ancient times, the young and the young have been orderly, not to mention that the prince is kind-hearted and talented, which is the desire of the people...... We just have to wait, wait. ”

Sun Beiji is worthy of being an old minister who has been in the court for decades, and under the persuasion of the three masters, King Gong's mood at this time has calmed down a lot compared to before.

"General Shen's side......" King Gong looked at Sun Beiji, "Elder Ge thinks, what should I do now?" ”

"The top priority is to find out what is going on in the north," Sun Beiji said in a low voice, "The two generals in the north, now that Shen Jichuan is back, only Chang Sheng remains." In the end, he is still the eldest son of the Qu family, and the Qu family is inextricably linked, and it is also terrible to let such a person be in charge of the military alone. ”

"What Elder Sun Ge said is extremely true." Zhang Shouzhong and Hu Yishu said one after another.

"This king has always wanted to visit General Shen's mansion in person," King Gong frowned, "but I'm afraid that if it spreads, there will be some rumors......

"The concubine thinks that the prince doesn't have to hide it, so she generously comes to visit."

A woman's voice came from within.

Zhen put down the needle and thread, and at some point stood in the doorframe.

"Princess." All three ministers stood up.

Zhen smiled, "A few adults, please take a seat, don't be polite." ”

King Gong pulled the cushion on the chair next to him and motioned for Zhen to come and sit down as well, "What did you mean by what you just said?" ”

Zhen leaned over King Gong slightly, and did not step forward to sit down, she still stood there, and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, you are now the eldest son of the emperor, and my father has been deliberately training the prince over the years, and he has even sent great talents such as Master Sun, Master Zhang, and Master Hu to teach the prince and the son of the world, which shows that the father attaches great importance to his children and grandchildren." Your concern and compassion for the generals returning from the front line is within your duty, but you have too many scruples, but you have fallen behind. ”

The princess's words suddenly lit up the eyes of several people.

"If the prince is really worried, then he can take the prince with him tomorrow," Zhen said with a smile, "General Shen used to be Cong'er's cavalry and archery master, and when the master comes back, it is reasonable for the prince to take him to visit." ”

Zhang Shouzhong said softly, "The princess has thought it through, I'm ashamed." ”

King Gong looked at Sun Zhanghu and the others again, and saw that none of them seemed to have any doubts, so he calmed down, "Okay, then I'll take Cong'er to the door tomorrow, you can go and talk to Cong'er now." ”

Zhen smiled, "Lord Wang, when is this, the prince has already slept." ”

King Gong realized that it was the dead of night at this time, and he nodded, "Then say it tomorrow morning, and say it the same tomorrow morning...... Hey, this kid has been very worried lately, so it's good to take him out for a walk. ”
