In the Chongzheng Palace, one old and three young stared at each other, and only Lin Chong remained calm. One look at the book ·

I saw Lin Chong arch his hand to the three of them, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, Master, and Captain Di, do you know that we have a Chinese lineage, why do we respect dragons?" ”

Being asked by Lin Chong like this, the little emperor suddenly became anxious and scolded: "I am the Son of Heaven, so I naturally ......"

"Ahem, let me explain this," Zhuge Shenhou is a pedantic celestial, and naturally understands this problem, and touched his beard tied into a pigtail again, and said to the little emperor: "According to research, in ancient times, the totem of our Yanhuang vein was a snake, which can be inferred from the origin of our human race, Nuwa Niangniang, the human head and snake body. ”

"How is this possible?"

The little emperor had never heard such a story, and now he was taken aback by what Zhuge Shenhou said, and Di Yong next to him was also taken aback, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhuge Shenhou.

Zhuge Shenhou didn't know why Lin Chong wanted to mention the dragon totem, but after half a year of getting along, he believed that Lin Chong would not be untargeted.

Therefore, Zhuge Shenhou cooperated with Lin Chong and continued to speak: "In ancient times, there was a habit of tribal conquest, that is, the victorious side would cut off the most dazzling part of the tribal totem of the losing party and paste it on the body of its own tribal totem. Our Yanhuang ancestors became stronger and stronger, and successively obtained wolf heads, antlers, turtle eyes, fish scales, tiger whiskers, eagle claws, and cow ears. ”

"After continuous evolution, this is what the dragon totem looks like now!"

After Zhuge Shenhou finished speaking, the little emperor took a deep breath and bowed: "Master, the disciple is respectfully taught!" ”

Lin Chong also saluted Zhuge Shenhou, and then continued: "Your Majesty, do you know the territory of China in the past dynasties? ”

The little emperor is only nine years old, even if he is precocious, but the learning of knowledge is not comprehensive, and in the face of Lin Chong's question, he can only continue to shake his head. A look at the book??·

Lin Chong arched his hand, and this time he didn't ask Zhuge Shenhou for help, he picked up the four treasures of the study on the table, and drew the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Qinling Mountains, the coastline and other items first.

In less than five minutes, Lin Chong sketched a map of the East of Asia on rice paper.

In the previous life, Lin Chong's greatest pleasure as an emperor was to teach several children and grandchildren to draw a map of the territory that was constantly increasing.

It can be said that the skill of describing maps has been practiced for a long time.

After a while, Lin Chong drew the map of the territory of the Xia Dynasty and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, within the dotted line, is the territory of the Xia Dynasty!" ”

Lin Chong said, continue to draw.

After ten minutes, there is no difference from the scale of the previous image, except that the dotted line is larger.

"Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Shang Dynasty."

……

"Your Majesty, this is the territory of Great Qin!"

……

"Your Majesty, this is the territory of Great Qin!"

……

"Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Western Han Dynasty!"

……

"Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty!"

……

"Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Three Kingdoms!"

……

"Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

……

"Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!"

……

Xia, Shang, Zhou, Great Qin, Western Han, Eastern Han, Three Kingdoms, Tang Dynasty, Great Song Dynasty, nine Dingding Yu maps, perfectly show the changes of the times.

The little emperor looked at the maps, throughout the ages, in the dynasties before the Great Song Dynasty, each dynasty was expanding its territory, but the Great Song Dynasty suddenly shrank by more than half.

Shame!

Wrath!

Aggrieved!

Afraid!

All kinds of thoughts came to his heart, making the little emperor's hands tremble, but he didn't know how to express his inner emotions for a while.

Zhuge Shenhou and Di Yong, after looking at the nine maps, they all sighed, not to mention anything else, just with such a drawing, Lin Chong is a talent who is one in a million.

Lin Chong arched his hand and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, the ancestors are ashamed, and I wait for the younger generations, we should be ashamed and then brave enough to forge ahead!" ”

The little emperor is more than nine years old, he is really the age of high spirits, and when he was so excited by Lin Chong, his blood was suddenly full of blood, his expression was solemn, and he asked Lin Chong sincerely: "But my Great Song Dynasty is surrounded by Western Xia, Liao, Tubo, Dali and other countries, how to break through the shackles?" ”

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!"

Lin Chong arched his hand, quickly drew a drawing, handed it to the little emperor, and then said: "This is the territory map of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Your Majesty take a look, is it similar to our Great Song Dynasty and other countries?" ”

"Da Liao is the Qin State of that year, the world of the world, invincible, Xixia is the Yan State of the year, although the territory is small, but all the people are soldiers, they belong to the Great Liao, and my Great Song Dynasty, Tubo against me, and the Yan State and Qi State, Zhao State and other countries of the year, to be the accomplice of the Great Qin, what's the difference?"

Hearing Lin Chong's metaphor for the past and the present, and the analogy of the territory map, the little emperor immediately digested Lin Chong's words.

Lin Chong continued: "Tubo is located on the plateau, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the soldiers are fierce and bloody, and the Great Liao is beyond their reach, similar to the Chu State back then. On the one hand, the Dali royal family worships the Buddha and respects the education, and on the other hand, it combines with the local fierce Bai, Miao, and Yao people, which is similar to the Qi State in those years......"

The little emperor listened to Lin Chong's words and hurriedly asked, "What about our Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Our Great Song Dynasty is sandwiched between the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, and there are disputes with other countries, and wars are raging every year, resulting in a rush of national strength and a lack of livelihood for the people, once a natural disaster comes, it is an unpredictable disaster for the country!"

The little emperor thought for a moment, and from Lin Chong's mouth, he got that the environment of the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, and he couldn't help but worry about his throne, and asked: "Lin Chong, then you say, is the way out for our Great Song Dynasty to fight against Liao?" ”

Lin Chong shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, compared with our Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, we actually have more advantages, but because we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, we have the illusion of being in a weak position." To be precise, the current situation is that Liao, Western Xia, Tubo, and Dali are jointly fighting against our Great Song family! ”

After hearing this, the little emperor turned his head to look at Zhuge Shenhou.

Zhuge Shenhou nodded to the little emperor, expressing his agreement with Lin Chong's words.

Now the situation is indeed like this, because of the proximity of the Great Song Dynasty to the four countries, the disputes are non-stop, coupled with some of the national policies of the Great Song Dynasty, and natural disasters**, which caused the Great Song Dynasty to fall into a vicious circle of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses.

There are some things that Lin Chong is humble and young, and it is inconvenient to speak directly, so he has to talk about the threats of neighboring countries first.

The young man is angry, and he is easily attracted by the hatred of the country and the family, and the little emperor can't get rid of this problem.

Lin Chong now blames the weak situation of the Great Song Dynasty, cause and effect on the neighboring countries, and it is very easy for the little emperor to become angry with the neighbors.

Coupled with the previous territory map, the shame that made the little emperor spontaneously rise was enough for the little emperor to be full of malice towards his neighbors.
