Xin Zhen nodded.

The defeat of Fu Li in Xin Qiji's mouth was the Longxing Northern Expedition launched by the current emperor Zhao Tuan.

Zhao Tuan, that is, after Song Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, tried to recover the Central Plains and began to embark on the Northern Expedition.

He rejected the peacemakers in the imperial court and reused the main battle faction to rehabilitate Yue Fei.

In the first year of Longxing, the civil strife in Jin was pacified, and Jin Shizong sent an envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty to propose an agreement to restore the Shaoxing Peace Conference, and asked the Southern Song Dynasty to return the Huaibei land captured during the Quarrying War.

Song Xiaozong then activated Zhang Jun of the main battle faction and adopted a tough policy against the Jin state.

In March of the same year, Jin sent a large army to attack Huaibei.

In May, Zhang Jun ordered Song generals Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan to lead 60,000 troops north to meet the battle.

However, there was a discord in the Song army at the beginning. Li Xianzhong's troops soon occupied Lingbi in Anhui, but Shao Hongyuan's troops were slow to besiege Hong, so Li Xianzhong led his troops to assist, and the guards immediately surrendered to Li Xianzhong, which caused Shao Hongyuan's jealousy.

After that, the Song army took advantage of the victory to attack Suzhou, and Li Xianzhong once again routed the Jin soldiers.

After this battle, Li Xianzhong became famous and was appointed as the envoy of Huainan, and Shao Hongyuan was only the deputy envoy.

Soon, the general of the Jin State, Su Shi Lie Zhining, led 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Suzhou, Li Xianzhong took the initiative to meet it, and the fierce battle began.

And Shao Hongyuan didn't want to send troops to rescue him, but sat and watched the tiger fight, and finally simply escaped by night.

At the critical moment of the battle, Shao Hongyuan spread rumors that 200,000 reinforcements from the Jin State were about to arrive, which made the Song army panic.

In the end, Li Xianzhong had no choice but to retreat south, so the Song army on both roads was defeated, and was chased and killed by Sushi Lie Zhining all the way, not only lost the cities and counties that were recovered before, but even the previous Huainan and other places were occupied, and the Jin soldiers even chased to the edge of the Yangtze River, and the original good situation was lost!

This battle is known as the "Battle of Fuli".

The impact of the Battle of Fuli was enormous.

According to Xin Zhen's knowledge, after this battle, in the era of Song Xiaozong's rule, it changed from the main battle to peace, and throughout his life, he no longer launched the Northern Expedition.

And before the battle of Fuli had just failed, and the main war minister Zhang Jun had not died, Song Xiaozong still had no heart for death during this time.

Xin Zhi said: "Dad, this matter is the best time, if you miss this opportunity, you will have no place to be brave in this Imperial Rong Ten Theory." ”

Xin Qiji was stunned and said, "What do you say?" ”

Xin Zhi said: "The defeat of Fu Li is really too tragic, someone must come out to take responsibility for this matter, although Zhang Xiang has not been dealt with yet, but His Majesty needs him to arrange the next things first, so as not to make a big mess."

Next, he will definitely be held accountable, whether it is Li Xianzhong or Shao Hongyuan, they will all be demoted, as for Zhang Xiangmo, he can't escape well, at least the privy envoy position will definitely not be able to keep it, and the main battle faction will be hit hard.

And the current left and right ministers Chen Kangbo and Shi Hao are all the main ones, and after this battle, they will strengthen their confidence, so this period of time is the best time for the Ten Treatises of Yurong, and if you miss this time, you will miss it forever. ”

Xin Qiji stared at Xin Zhi in surprise, Xin Zhi's analysis is very reasonable, although this kind of analysis is not difficult for some readers, it is nothing more than an analysis of the government, who can know if it is wrong.

What surprised him was actually Xin Zhen's performance.

Xin Zhen looked like a little adult, but after all, he was only a seven-year-old child!

Thinking back to Xin Zhen's stupid appearance before, and looking at the current appearance, Xin Qiji's heart is like turning over the river and the sea.

Is this son possessed by some old ghost?

"How do you know that?"

Xin Qiji asked.

Xin Zhi said with a smile: "During this time, I often go to the pavilion by the river, listen to them discuss national politics, and listen to it and have some opinions of my own. ”

Xin Qiji secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "The Ten Treatises of the Imperial Rong for my father is still just a prototype, and it is just a smile and generosity to offer it at this time, and I will talk about it when I cultivate it well for my father." ”

Xin Zhi said: "Can I read all the articles?" ”

Xin Qiji smiled: "Can you understand? ”

Xin Zhi smiled: "It's just curiosity." ”

Xin Zhen nodded, pointed to the drafts stacked on the side, and said, "It's all there, you can see it yourself, just don't lose it for me." ”

Xin Zhi nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, you can't lose it!" ”

As he spoke, he took the draft back to his room, spread out a pen and paper, and took notes while reading it.

The draft was 20,000 words, much more than Mei Qin's 10,000 words, so it took Xin Zhi some time to read it.

After reading it, Xin Zhi couldn't help but say: "No wonder no one cares about this proposal, it's too confusing." ”

There is no problem with the content of the Ten Treatises of the Imperial Army, there are ten treatises in it, if you look at it purely from a military treatise, it has a high research value, but if it is used as a suggestion article, it is a little unbearable to read.

As a strategy, Xin Qiji wrote too much.

This has led to the problem of too many accusations, too detailed discussions, and trivial and unavoidable. There are too many irrelevant words, which leads to diluting the main idea and giving truth, which hinders the effect of the article.

Xin Qiji said a lot of things, and many questions that should not be pointed out at this time were also pointed.

For example, reform left and right elections.

This kind of accumulation of difficult problems is suitable for subtle and gradual change, and is not suitable for hasty proposals.

There are many more such problems in other sections, similar to moving the capital and the like.

These suggestions are important to say, but they are not very operational, so it is better not to mention them.

It is important to allow the situation to evolve gradually and push these events to change.

Xin Qiji also put forward a proposal on the relationship between the prime minister, the civil minister, and the military general.

These suggestions were made too early.

Xin Zhen thought about it for a long time and started to revise it.

Mostly around two things.

The first is to advance northward from time to time to maintain influence in enemy territory;

The second is to concentrate the main force of field warfare and persist in fighting against the enemy.

This is the best choice in the current situation, and it is also what Emperor Xiaozong, who is hesitating, wants to see the most at present.

Xin Zhen deleted and deleted the article of more than 20,000 words into more than 1,000 words, and deleted many outdated suggestions, and suddenly it looked like every word was fine.

Xin Zhi nodded with satisfaction: "At least writing like this can still attract some attention." ”

Xin Zhi looked at it carefully and felt that there was no problem, so he took it to Xin Qiji.

After Xin Qiji finished reading it, he frowned and said, "What do you say?" ”

Xin Zhi said his reasons, but Xin Qiji was a little inspired: "You're right, it's true that the fold should be written like this, but the rest of the things you delete are also very important, if you can't implement them together, I'm afraid there will be problems." ”

Xin Zhi smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry, if Your Majesty is interested in your advice, then he will definitely want to meet you, and then it will be better for you to give him advice in person, if he is not interested, he will definitely ignore it." ”

Xin Qiji thought that it made sense, but he was still a little hesitant.

Xin Zhi said anxiously: "Dad, if you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid that your suggestion will never come out again, and the Northern Expedition you want will probably not have another chance." ”

Xin Qiji pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Zhen'er, what do you want to do?" ”

Xin Zhen's heart suddenly sudden, and then smiled: "Of course I want to help my father." ”

Xin Qiji still didn't believe it: "What is your purpose, if you don't say it, my father will not hand over this advice." ”

Xin Zhi smiled bitterly: "Dad, why don't you believe my words......"

Xin Qiji smiled: "I found that after you opened your mind, your idea has become a lot bigger, you work so hard to push me to play, there is no purpose, I don't believe it, let's talk about it, if you don't say it, then this matter will be forgotten." ”

"Oh, don't, Dad, I'm doing this for your good!"

"Oh?" Xin Qiji squinted at Xin Zhen, he found out, since he opened his mind, this kid has a lot of eyes, and now he wants to cheat his father.

Xin Zhi couldn't cry or laugh: "You don't even believe in your own son, what about the trust between people?" ”

Xin Qiji said slowly: "As a father, I just want to know the truth. ”

Xin Zhen searched his intestines and scraped his stomach for a while before he said, "Alas, this is not for our family. Our family, who returned from the north, but was despised by the southerners, the identity of this reformed person will be with you for a lifetime after all, so ah, we must integrate into it, otherwise it will not be easy for you to be promoted in the officialdom. ”

"Well, what should I do?"

Xin Qiji paid some attention to it, if he wanted to do something, he had to make a difference in the officialdom, and his status as a reformed person did have an impact on his promotion in the officialdom.

"So, the child talked about a family affair for his father......"

"What!"

Xin Qiji was stunned.
