…

Although Li Kai became the first prince to be crowned king, although Midsummer was also named a virtuous concubine as he wished, after learning that his only son died on the battlefield, Midsummer still cried to death, and even said something that seemed a little vicious such as "Why did you die as my son, not someone else's son".

For Midsummer's "viciousness", Li Cun, who likes kind-hearted women, did not blame Midsummer at all this time.

On the contrary, Li Cun, who is somewhat empathetic, still understands Midsummer very well.

If my son really survives, I'm vicious, so what?!

The key is that Li Cun has many children, to be honest, he is really not bad for Li Kai, but there is only one son like Li Kai in midsummer.

Just looking at how well and so outstanding Li Kai was cultivated by Midsummer, it is not difficult to imagine how much effort Midsummer has put into Li Kai's education.

And the reason why Li Kai is desperately performing himself is not to fight for Midsummer and help Midsummer to compete for favor.

It is not difficult to see how deep the relationship between Sheng Xia and Li Kai's mother and son is.

Let's put it this way, for Midsummer, Li Cun's husband is more than 10,000 women's, and Li Kai's son is Midsummer's own, and Li Cun's husband, because he has too many women, Midsummer really can't count on it, and Li Kai's son is likely to be all the hope of Midsummer's second half of his life.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Kai died young and almost took half his life in midsummer.

It can even be said that the midsummer of Li Kai has been lost, and even the hope of living has been lost.

In this case, it is already commendable that Midsummer can only rationally say "Why did you die as my son, not someone else's son", instead of fighting with Li Cun, the "culprit".

To put it mildly, Midsummer just hanged herself with a white silk stick, accusing Li Cun of "killing" her son, and Li Cun had to bear it.

Seriously, Li Cun has even made such psychological preparations.

The good thing is that -

Midsummer just cried non-stop and said something to vent, although she was also broken, she still maintained the last shred of sanity.

Seeing this, Li Cun was both distressed and relieved, and he couldn't help but think: "Scheming women sometimes have scheming benefits. ”

Li Cun is actually like a mirror in her heart, Midsummer is really heartbroken, but Midsummer knows very well in her heart that the wood is already in the boat, no matter how much she makes trouble, it will be useless, in this case, she still tries to control herself, try not to let herself show the disgusting side of Li Cun, try to be more rational, try to take care of the overall situation, in order to get more benefits.

Such a midsummer seems a little unacceptable, the only son is dead, and Midsummer can still move such a mind?

But then again, calm down and think about it, you have to admit that this is actually the most beneficial for Midsummer, otherwise, if you lose your only son, Midsummer will not only die lonely in the afterlife, but also may die at a young age because of being immersed in pain and unable to extricate yourself, that is a disaster.

Even if Li Cun saw through Midsummer's thoughts, Li Cun didn't break it, on the contrary, Li Cun followed Midsummer's thoughts and stayed with her in her palace and comforted her.

In order to comfort Midsummer, Li Cun rested in the palace of Midsummer for a month.

To be honest, at first, Li Cun really just wanted to comfort the painful Midsummer and find some balance for Midsummer.

Li Cun was even ready to abstain from sex for a few days, which could be regarded as a tribute to Li Kai, his son who died young.

But Li Cun really overestimated himself.

Without a woman, Li Cun really can't sleep.

Moreover, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the summer who shared the bed with Li Cun, he was still secretly wiping his tears there.

Li Cun, who was upset because he couldn't sleep, immediately became even more upset after hearing the sobbing sound of midsummer.

So, Li Cun didn't pretend anymore, and directly stripped off Midsummer's clothes, and said to Midsummer: "Don't cry, I will give you another son!" ”

This is Li Cun's way of comforting women.

A month later, Midsummer was successfully pregnant.

Not only Midsummer, but also Midsummer and Sheng Lan were also successfully pregnant.

Even the two palace maids in the Midsummer Palace were lucky enough to get pregnant.

It's a pity that Midsummer's second child gave birth to a daughter.

After the confinement in midsummer, she often took her daughter to Li Cun's side and reminded Li Cun, you said that it was a son who gave me, and this is a daughter, which doesn't count.

Li Cun had no choice but to go to Midsummer's palace again and again until Midsummer gave birth to his son.

Of course, that's all for later.

Three days later, Zhang Jun sent his subordinate general, his "son" Tian Shizhong, to escort Li Kai's body by water to Jinling City in Nanjing.

At the same time, Tian Shizhong also brought Yue Fei and Zhang Jun to write a letter of plea for Li Cun.

In this petition for sin, it is written in detail that it was Li Kai who took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the death squad to capture the city and directly command Niu Gao, who directly commanded the battle, before Li Kai was allowed to take the death squad, and because there was no second person in the army at that time except Yue Fei who knew that Li Kai was the prince, and no one stopped Li Kai, and no one sent someone to protect Li Kai, which caused Li Kai to sacrifice his life for the country.

Li Cun could see that Zhang Jun could be regarded as trying his best to help Yue Fei and Niu Gao exonerate himself, but he still inevitably took himself out first, and put the blame on Yue Fei, who knew that he didn't say anything, and Niu Gao, who directly agreed with Li Kai's risk.

Li Cun casually glanced at this piece that was obviously written by Zhang Jun but was named by Yue Fei and Zhang Jun, threw it aside, and then asked about the details of the battle of Xinglinbao in Tianshizhong.

Tian Shizhong, who finally got a chance to face the saint, hurriedly told Li Cun in detail about the story of the battle.

In fact, Li Cun had long known what had happened in the battle of Xinglinbao.

Not only that, Li Cun even knew the success of Xingcheng and Huludao.

asked Tian Shizhong, it was just that Li Cun wanted to elicit what he wanted to say.

After Tian Shizhong explained in detail how Yue Fei won the battle of Xinglinbao, Li Cun commented: "The layout is far-reaching, the attack is decisive, and the tactical arrangement is reasonable and effective, and Yue Pengju lives up to my expectations." ”

As soon as Li Cun said this, everyone knew that Yue Fei, including Niu Gao under Yue Fei, must have escaped this catastrophe, at least temporarily.

Lu Jiang suggested: "The Jin people have repeatedly violated my frontier, it is tolerable or unbearable, for the long-term stability of my cadres, the official family has to cut it down, the king of Jin is worthy of the prince of the official family, bravely killed the enemy, unfortunately sacrificed his life for the country, loyalty and filial piety, it is advisable to report to the world, order the Propaganda Department to handle it, and it is also appropriate to order the Ministry of Rites to hold a funeral for the king of Jin to show the world." ”

General Lü's meaning is obviously to turn bad things into good things, so that the world knows that Li Cun not only sent the sons of the people to the battlefield, but also sent one of his sons to the battlefield and died in battle. At the same time, once again preached the necessity and correctness of the gold war, so that the people of the world sincerely supported Li Cun's gold war, and did not feel dissatisfied with Li Cun's reopening of the war.

In other words, in fact, even if the people complain about Li Cun starting the war again, it will not affect Li Cun's rule.

What do you say?

Today, the productivity of the Daqian Dynasty has increased more than tenfold compared with the already wealthy Zhao and Song dynasties.

The key point is that the Daqian Dynasty has basically put an end to the situation in which land is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people and the cultivators have no land; in other words, the Daqian Dynasty has basically eliminated the landlord class, but has truly put the land into the hands of the peasants.

In addition, the Daqian Dynasty vigorously developed agriculture.

This makes it possible that in the Daqian Dynasty, almost everyone can eat enough, everyone can dress warmly, and as long as they are not lazy, there will be surplus.

The population of the Daqian Dynasty skyrocketed as the best proof of this.

In addition, the Great Qian Dynasty vigorously encouraged trade and convenient transportation, so that when the people had spare money in their hands, they could buy daily necessities, seasonal vegetables and fruits, fresh seafood, and even luxury goods from all parts of the world.

Abundant food and clothing, good health and well-being, live and work in peace and contentment.

Compared with the period of the Zhao and Song dynasties, not to mention the people of the Daqian Dynasty lived in paradise, it was almost the same.

In this case, of course, the people of the world are willing to let Li Cun rule.

What's more, Li Cun has let the people of the world recuperate for many years, and he is considerate enough for the people.

Therefore, although the people of the Daqian Dynasty did not want the Daqian Dynasty to have another war, they would never resent Li Cun for starting a war, especially if the propaganda was good.

Speaking of which, it may be that under the influence of later generations, Li Cun has always paid great attention to publicity, especially after the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty.

In order to better publicize, Li Cun even deliberately set up a propaganda department, which was called the Twelve Ministries together with the traditional six ministries, as well as the emerging Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Customs, and the Ministry of Railways.

- The Ministry of Propaganda, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Customs, and the Ministry of Railways are also known as the New Sixth Ministry.

Not to mention other ministries, the Propaganda Department has really played a great role in the process of Li Cun's fight against the country and the management of the country.

Now that the war is raging, Li Cun naturally hopes that the Propaganda Department will continue to give correct guidance.

General Lu has been the prime minister of Li Cun for fifteen or six years, and of course he can guess what Li Cun thinks in his heart, so he just put forward the suggestions that Li Cun wants to hear at the right time.

And Li Cun took advantage of the situation to play.

Next, the good news of the great victory of Xingcheng and Huludao came one after another.

In order to boost the morale of the front, Li Cun sealed Yue Fei Shaobao, and other meritorious soldiers were rewarded, including Niu Gao, who sent Li Kai to the battlefield.

It is worth mentioning that in order to dispel the doubts of Yue Fei and other front-line soldiers, so that Yue Fei and other front-line soldiers can fight wholeheartedly, and let Yue Fei wholeheartedly help Li Cun train Li Biao and Li Cun's sons, Li Cun also gave Yue Fei the only Danshu iron coupon in the Daqian Dynasty.

The so-called Danshu iron coupon refers to a kind of privilege certificate awarded by the emperor to meritorious and important ministers, also known as "Danshu Iron Deed", that is, the "death-free card" and "death-free gold medal" in the folk narrative.

Knowing that Li Cun gave Yue Fei the Danshu Iron Coupon, which can greatly demonstrate the status of the courtier, many ministers hurriedly came to persuade Li Cun to withdraw his fate, and hinted to Li Cun that Li Cun had already appointed Yue Fei as the generalissimo of the Jinjin Soldiers and Horses, and handed over almost half of the soldiers and horses of the Daqian Dynasty to Yue Fei's hands, and now he gave Yue Fei the Danshu Iron Coupons, which was really unsafe.

It can be said that these ministers who persuaded Li Cun to take back their orders almost said that Li Cun would prevent Yue Fei from supporting his troops and respecting himself, and even prevent Yue Fei from rebelling against his army.

In this regard, Li Cun smiled slightly, and said very confidently: "Yue Pengju is more than enough for a general, and as a king, he will not have this heart, nor will he have this strength." ”

Yue Fei is a child of a peasant family in Henan, a proper eight-generation poor peasant, who had little ability to go to school when he was a child, and under the guidance of his father Yue He, it is estimated that he can only reach the level of a literacy class.

When he grew up, Yue Fei got married at the age of thirteen and gave birth to Yue Yun at the age of fourteen.

The family has no money and does not study much, so Yue Fei has no other way out except to be a soldier and farming.

Fortunately, Yue Fei's luck was good enough, and he was just about to become a soldier when he met Li Cun, a Bole.

Under Li Cun's vigorous promotion, Yue Fei can be said to have made great progress in his career, and at the age of thirty-three, he had already commanded nearly half of the soldiers and horses of the Daqian Dynasty.

With Li Cun's unsparing kindness, Yue Fei should actually be loyal to the country, and he should spare no effort to be loyal to Li Cun and the Daqian Dynasty.

Of course, when Li Cun is in his current position, he will definitely not believe anyone's loyalty, including Yue Fei, who is impossible to rebel at all.

The reason why Li Cun was so confident that Yue Fei would never rebel was mainly because Li Cun was extremely confident in the military supervision system he had established.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there is a military supervision system that has penetrated into the marrow of the cadres, the cadres will never break away from Li Cun's control, no matter who is in charge of the cadres.

What's more, Yue Fei is a person who is upright and upright, has strict governance, has clear rewards and punishments, and does not pay attention to human feelings.

Let's put it this way, Yue Fei's son Yue Yun, when he was twelve years old, was almost killed by Yue Fei just because he fell off his war horse during training, especially shows how strict Yue Fei is with his subordinates.

Such Yue Fei, no, to be precise, such a person must be a good general, but there will definitely be no one willing to rebel against such a person.

You must know that those who become emperors must not be rigid and inflexible, they must know how to win people's hearts, and they must be pragmatic and not idealistic.

In addition, when the emperor is an emperor, he also needs to make others unable to understand his character, his own city, and his own thinking.

To be honest, Yue Fei does not have any of these qualities.

Such a Yue Fei, even if it is difficult to be a warlord, how can he rebel?

And let Yue Fei be a general?

Then Li Cunke was too relieved.

Although the historical Zhao and Song dynasties were defeated again and again on the battlefield of the war with Liaojin, the local battlefield led by Yue Fei basically never lost.

Otherwise, why did Yue Fei, a peasant son with no foundation, ascend to a high position in history?

Therefore, even if the halo of "national hero" is thrown away, Yue Fei's ability is beyond doubt.

What's even more rare is that Yue Fei's ability is not only reflected in the fact that he is a general, but also in the fact that he is also a strategist who really knows how to lay out.

Historically, Yue Fei's Northern Expedition was not just a slogan, he listed detailed action steps in "Begging for the Master".

If you look closely, you will know that it is a very feasible set of battle plans.

(Interested friends go to find it themselves, considering here, some people may say the author's water words, so they don't occupy much pen and ink.) ）

What's even more rare is that Yue Fei not only planned every step of the operation, but also took into account various emergencies and response plans, in addition to the united front, contacting the rebels behind enemy lines, and so on.

From that battle plan, it is not difficult to see that Yue Fei's strategist's vision is undoubtedly revealed.

By the year 1140 in history, all the preparations in Yue Fei's schedule had been completed, and Yue's army had also been rectified for many years, and its strength was very strong.

For the Northern Expedition, Yue Fei was determined to win.

At the same time, most of the soldiers of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty were northerners, and they had a deep hatred for the blood of the Jin State, and they always wanted to fight back to their hometown and restore the mountains and rivers of the former Zhao and Song dynasties.

But Yue Fei was ready and thought about everything, but he didn't expect that he obviously had the opportunity to recover the rivers and mountains, but Zhao Gou, who had a deep blood feud with the Jin people, wanted to make peace, didn't want to fight anymore, just wanted to live in a corner of peace and live a happy life.

Liu Qi had already defeated the Jin army in Shunchang.

The Shaanxi battlefield also confronted the Jin army in Guanzhong, and the two sides refused to give in to each other.

The Golden Vulture had to be returned to Kaifeng.

At that time, the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty had already gained the initiative, and as long as it concentrated its forces to the north for a decisive battle, it was not without a chance to recover the Central Plains.

Just as Yue Fei was preparing to officially start the Northern Expedition, Zhao Go's edict arrived.

Zhao Gou sent Sinong Shaoqing Li Ruoxu to Yue Fei's military camp and read out the edict: "Soldiers should not be moved lightly, and it is advisable to be a teacher." ”

In a good situation, Yue Fei was really reluctant to give up.

Fortunately, the person who came to deliver the edict was Li Ruoxu, who was also the main battle faction, and he did not want the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to miss the golden opportunity to regain the lost territory.

So Yue Fei raised troops to the north, and Li Ruoxu returned to the dynasty to bear the charge of overkill.

In a short period of time, Yue Fei successfully conquered Caizhou, Yingchang, and Chenzhou, and then recovered Luoyang.

At the same time, after many years of united front with the northern rebels, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun and other rebel leaders also organized militias to harass behind enemy lines north of the Yellow River.

Together, they form a form that surrounds Kaifeng on six sides.

And Han Shizhong has already hit Lianyungang, and Zhang Jun has marched into Bozhou...... The generals of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty all advanced northward.

On the other hand, the main war faction and the main peace faction within the Jin State fought to the point of a bloody purge, and the two factions carried out internal power struggles through leading policies, and coups d'état and murder people at every turn, making a mess and seriously declining their combat effectiveness.

The situation at that time was that as long as Yue Fei defeated Kaifeng's Jin Wushu, the Jin State would no longer have any combat corps, that is, the great cause of Zhongxing could be achieved.

But Zhao Gou's edict came again, ordering Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Liu Qi to withdraw their troops, so Yue Fei became a lone army.

In the Battle of Yingchang, Yue Yun, who was just twenty years old, led the Beiwei army and defeated the Jin army.

Han Chang, the general of the Jin Army, sent someone to ask for surrender.

Yue Fei hit Zhuxian Town, as long as he held on a little longer, just like that, Yue Fei could fight a decisive battle with the Golden Vulture.

If he defeated the Golden Vulture Technique, it might be braggadocio to smash Huanglong, but it was feasible for Yue Fei to recover the hometown of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

But what Yue Fei was waiting for was not reinforcements, but twelve gold medals.

Li Cun is not Zhao Gou, he will not drag Yue Fei back when Yue Fei is desperate on the front line, let alone do stupid things that have made people scold for thousands of years by abandoning his martial arts.

Therefore, Li Cun dismissed all the criticisms of Yue Fei, and removed all the shackles and burdens on Yue Fei with a Danshu iron scroll, so that Yue Fei could travel lightly and go all out to turn over the Jin Kingdom for Li Cun......
