Chapter 684: Song and Xia Marriage
Zhao Xu had clear eyebrows, succeeded to the throne at the age of nine, and was a puppet for another nine years, but he never gave up in his heart, with a trace of unwilling anger in his eyebrows.
Zhao Xu said: "Qing has been teaching the imperial brother in the past few years, and the imperial brother has great respect for Qing, and he is always thanking me for finding him a good teacher. ”
is old, and he hasn't learned to be cunning yet, and it's just a waste of time to be so roundabout in front of Huang Shang.
Huang Shang said: "Your Majesty summoned the ministers for the military action in the north." ”
Huang Shang told the emperor with practical actions that people like us need efficiency in communication, and those nonsense without nutrition can be saved.
Zhao Xu was also stunned by Huang Shang's single knife, but then nodded and said, "Exactly, it seems that Qing also knows the news." ”
Xiao Feng accepted Yelu Hongji's task and told Huang Sheng that he was not going to collaborate with the enemy, and the master had already expected this result, so he asked Wang Yuyan to communicate with him. Xiao Feng just wanted to tell the master that he had complied with the master's wishes, did not disobey Emperor Liao, and also told the master his position in it.
In the face of the emperor's questioning, Huang Sheng did not hide it, and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Feng, the disciple of the minister, is the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao State, of course the minister knows such a major matter." ”
Now everyone is secretly transferring troops, the emperor has a detailed work, and he can know the news of Liao, but Huang Shang should not have it, Huang Shang directly stated that his news came from Xiao Feng.
Zhao Xu asked: "It seems that this disciple of Qing still respects Qing very much, and for such an important matter, he will ask Qing first." ”
Huang Shang said: "It's not a request, it's a notice." ”
Zhao Xu asked: "Qing's disciples are going south to attack the Song Dynasty, isn't Qing afraid that he will be implicated?" ”
Huang Sheng shook his head and said: "The relationship between the minister and Xiao Feng has never been a secret, and neither the minister nor Xiao Feng wants to hide it. What happened back then was a mistake, and the minister had never heard of a minister in this dynasty for this reason. ”
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Yes, Qing is not guilty of everything he did, but Qing has been idle because of the influence of this disciple, so Qing doesn't have anything to think about?" ”
Huang Shang said: "In the eyes of the minister, there is nothing idle, there is a responsibility if you have power, and if you have no power, you will also have no responsibility." ”
Zhao Xu asked, "Is Qing unwilling to take responsibility?" ”
Huang Shang said: "It's not that the minister is unwilling to take responsibility, but someone is willing to take responsibility." ”
Zhao Xu said: "Now even if Qing has no power, the responsibility will come." Qing's disciples are about to lead troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and Qing is responsible. ”
It is really effortless to talk to Huang Shang, what you have, the young emperor, a few words were brought to the rhythm of Huang Shang.
Huang Shang said: "Your Majesty, please make it clear." ”
Zhao Xu said: "I have sources, but they may not be comprehensive, Qing has this relationship, and I have received a lot of news, I want to hear Qing's opinion on the current situation." ”
Huang Sheng said: "Yes, the minister does know a lot about Liao, and these are all thanks to Xiao Feng, the disciple of the minister. The commander of the army this time was Xiao Feng, who didn't want to take over this position, but the minister advised him not to disobey Emperor Liao. ”
Zhao Xu was puzzled, what he didn't understand was why Huang Sheng wanted to bring these out, didn't this clearly support Emperor Liao's southern invasion?
Zhao Xu asked, "Why?" ”
Huang Sheng said: "This disciple of the minister understands that his heart is towards the Great Song Dynasty, he grew up here, and he even fought with Liao and Xia with the power of the people, he doesn't want Song Liao to go to war." The minister told him that he could be persuaded, but he really couldn't, and Emperor Liao insisted on going south, and he could take over this task. The minister thought that it was better to have a lack of commander who was friendly to the Great Song Dynasty than a lack of commander who was full of malice towards the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Xu was refreshed to hear it, this time it was really a good reason.
Zhao Xu asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Huang Shang said: "There is also the minister's understanding of this disciple, he is this commander, even if he really attacks the Song Dynasty wholeheartedly, but he does not have this ability." ”
Zhao Xu asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Huang Shang said: "The minister means that he has no talent as a commander. He is a brave person, and when this king of the Southern Courtyard also relied on his personal force to help Emperor Liao quell the chaos, he himself did not have military talent. When he marched to fight and arranged his troops, he had never learned. ”
Zhao Xu didn't know what to do, was this an ambush on all sides?
Zhao Xu couldn't help asking, "Did Qing deliberately not teach?" ”
Huang Sheng smiled: "That's not it, it's not a minister, and he hasn't thought about being a military general, so we haven't thought about learning this." ”
I see, after listening to Huang Shang's words, Zhao Xu's mood was relieved.
Zhao Xu immediately looked full again, and said, "But Liao is not without generals who can fight. ”
Huang Shang said: "Your Majesty's right, you can't pin your hopes on one Xiao Feng, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and any factor may affect the entire battle situation." If you want to be foolproof, you need to prepare a lot of hands. ”
"Foolproof?"
Zhao Xu was shocked, how can war be foolproof, how could a scholar who doesn't know how to march and fight and arrange troops want to make war "foolproof"?
Zhao Xu asked, "What else do you have to prepare?" ”
Huang Shang said: "Since Your Majesty asked, the minister will leave it at that, and it depends on Your Majesty's own judgment whether it works or not." ”
Zhao Xu also wanted to hear what Huang Sheng could say, at this time, he wanted to hear any opinions, and said, "Please speak." ”
Huang Shang said: "If there is a war between the two most powerful countries in the world, Song and Liao, it will not only affect the two countries of Song and Liao, there is also Xia in the west, and Your Majesty can invite Xia to send troops together to fight against Liao's south." ”
Zhao Xu was really reasonable when he heard this, and asked, "Will Xia Hui agree to send troops with the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
Huang Shang said: "Song Liao went to war, it was difficult for Xia to stay out of the matter, if he didn't unite with Song, then he could only unite with Liao." ”
"Ahh
Zhao Xu was shocked, the Great Song Dynasty had no ability to deal with the Liao and Xia alliances at the same time, and asked urgently: "Then what should I do?" ”
Huang Shang said: "First of all, we must make a profit." Every time the Song and Xia wars, Xia knows that he can't destroy the Song, but he still has to fight, just to win the reparations, we can pay a lot of money to ask Xia to fight against Liao together. ”
Zhao Xu asked: "The Great Song can give money, Liao can also give, and even promise territory, what should I do?" ”
Huang Shang said: "Your Majesty's." It's just that Xia should understand that once Liao destroys the Song Dynasty, no matter how much land, gold and silver Liao allows him, it will be his death. The Great Song Dynasty is different, the Great Song Dynasty only wants the sixteen states of Yanyun and the land beyond the Great Wall, and the Great Song Dynasty is not interested. ”
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Qing's reasonableness." Is it just that Xia will definitely unite with the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Huang Sheng shook his head and said, "It's not insurance yet." ”
Zhao Xu asked, "What else?" ”
Huang Shang said: "Marriage." ”
"Marriage?"
Zhao Xu said coldly: "Qing wants me to marry the princess?" ”
