Chapter 0381: Northern Expedition and Northern Expedition
Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the general of the expedition to the west, and the Duke Huan Wen of Linhe County wrote a letter requesting the Northern Expedition! ”
In the Taihe Hall of Jiankang Palace in Taicheng, the ministers of the court, as the auxiliary minister, Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, presented Huan Wen's recital.
At this moment, sitting on the platform was a child who was no more than five years old, wearing a dragon robe and a crown of heaven, but his face was not very serious, and he was not restrained after staying for a long time, but his curious eyes were wide, and he occasionally looked down, but he did not dare to speak.
This is the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, Sima Dan, the son of heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty.
However, such a small emperor sat on the dragon chair, sitting was not comfortable, the clothes were fitting, but it looked very awkward, and there was a feeling of being a monkey and a crown.
Next to the dragon chair, there is a delicate bed, and a curtain is lowered, covering the appearance of the people inside, but you can still see the slender figure.
Of course, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one dares to look their eyes here.
Because the person sitting inside is the widow of Emperor Kangdi of Jin, the Empress Dowager Chu Garlic!
At this time, the little emperor didn't speak, sitting in the middle room, Chu Garlic, who was listening to the government, spoke, and only heard her say lightly: "The matter of the Northern Expedition is a big matter." Let's all talk about it! ”
Cai Mo, the supervisor of the Central Committee, immediately said: "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that the Northern Expedition should not be done at this time. ”
"Lord Cai, please tell me what you think."
Cai Mo replied: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Qi, the minister thinks that the Wei State has now undergone the Wang's fierce change of law, and its national strength has increased greatly, which is really not something that my Jin State can compete with by itself. At present, it is already the most optimistic situation to be able to hold on to the Wei State and non-aggression with each other. Please think twice! ”
"Queen Mother, the minister doesn't dare to agree with Lord Cai Mo's opinion!"
At this time, Danyang Yin Liu Yi stood up and retorted: "It is precisely because Wei is strong and Jin is weak, and one is the other, my Jin State should take the initiative to attack, and the Northern Expedition will weaken the strength of Wei State!" At that time, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were dominant, and Wu Shu repeatedly went on northern expeditions, and the three-legged situation was maintained for more than 50 years! ”
"At present, my Great Jin Dynasty sits on the homeland of Wu Shu, and the national strength is even greater, and the Wei State is located in the Central Plains, the land of the four wars, and its land is mostly Hulu, Hu and Han live together, and the Han people in the north are eager for the northern expedition of the king to determine the Central Plains. If my Jin Kingdom goes on a Northern Expedition at this time, I will definitely be able to win the battle! ”
"Lord Liu's words are wrong!"
Cai Mo snorted and said: "The Northern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, since I established myself in Jiangdong, I have repeatedly made the Northern Expedition, can I make contributions?" It seems that when the three Yu brothers were in power, my Great Jin Dynasty carried out three large-scale Northern Expeditions, but what was the result? failed to succeed, but was beaten to the door by Zhao Ren! Today's Wei State is much stronger than the former Qian Zhao! ”
"And I heard that the reform of the Wei State, focusing on people's livelihood and advocating sinicization, won the hearts of the people of the Central Plains. At present, the army is on a northern expedition, but I am afraid that there may not be Li Shu going out of the city to respond, eating pot pulp, and the scene of welcoming the king's division will appear, right? ”
"Huh!" Liu Yan sneered and said, "What Lord Cai said will inevitably increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige!" Even without the cooperation of the people of the North, with the powerful advance of our Jin army, wouldn't it be enough to recover the Central Plains and recover the lost territory? Lord Cai, as well as the princes of the court, don't forget, before the general Huan Wen of the expedition to the west defeated the Cheng Han last year, you were not optimistic about the battle of Pingshu! ”
"But the result? In less than five months, the seemingly powerful Cheng Han was wiped out by General Zhengxi with 10,000 cavalry! Although Cheng Han and Wei are not the same, as long as the imperial court gives the Northern Expedition enough strength, even if it can't destroy Wei immediately and recover the Central Plains, at least it can recover the lost land in Huaibei, and even return to the old capital Luoyang to repair our former palace gardens! ”
Hearing this, Cai Mo said sharply again: "Liu Yi! You're right! Soldiers, fierce also! In case of defeat, how can Wei give up?! ”
"Men and thieves are not separate! Wang Ye is not partial! Cai Mo, what is your intention to repeatedly obstruct the Northern Expedition? Have you forgotten the shame of Yongjia back then? Recovering the rivers and mountains, that is the will of my Han family for generations! At this time, if you don't go on a northern expedition, when the Wei State changes the law, if there is a catastrophe in my Great Jin Dynasty, you Cai Mo will be the culprit! ”
"You! ......" Cai Mo trembled angrily.
Cai Mo just wanted to argue, but the angry voice of Chu Garlic, who was sitting in the room, came out: "Enough! ”
"The Queen Mother!" Cai Mo and Liu Yi both bowed to the inside of the curtain.
Chu Garlic sighed faintly and said, "The court is not a vegetable market. The court is a place to discuss state affairs, and if the two adults want to quarrel, please go outside. ”
"The minister is guilty!" The two said in unison.
Chu Lianzi said again: "The mourning family knows that the two adults are loyal to the country, but they each have their own opinions, the same thing, but they are different from person to person. This Northern Expedition, King Huiji, what do you think? "New Bayi m.x81zw
Cai Mo and Liu Yi were both important ministers of the court, and Chu Garlic was not good at punishing them, so he passed them lightly.
However, at this moment, the courtiers did not agree on their opinions, and Chu Lianzi was not easy to decide, so he threw this decision to Sima Yu, the ruling king of Huiji.
Sima Yu pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that what Lord Cai and Lord Liu said is not unreasonable. It's just that the minister is more inclined to the Northern Expedition. ”
"The Northern Expedition is a last wish passed down from our ancestors. Hu Ma has stepped on the Central Plains for decades, in the past, there were Liu Kun and Zu Ti to contend with Hu Lu, and once drank the Yellow River, what the predecessors could do, I believe we can also do. And the stronger the Wei State, the more unfavorable it will be for my Jin State! ”
Sima Yu couldn't help but said bitterly: "Jiangnan was originally a barren land, although after the past hundred years of reclamation, a lot of rich land has appeared, and the population is increasing day by day. However, Jiangnan is not richer than the Central Plains, and Jiangnan has unlimited potential, but in just a hundred years, the development of Jiangnan is not comparable to that of the Central Plains in any way. And the Wei State is undergoing a change, a change in a rich country and a strong army! ”
"In less than ten years, a Wei state that is enough to sweep the world will come out. What will we use to resist when the time comes? Even if it is summarized in terms of territory, my Great Jin is not much smaller than Wei, and even the territory that can really be controlled is more than that of Wei, but it is all barren land, what is the use of it? Therefore, the foundation of our Jin Kingdom lies in the Central Plains, if you want to be strong, you must go on the Northern Expedition, if you want to recover the Central Plains, you must go on the Northern Expedition, if you want to dominate the world, you must also go on the Northern Expedition! ”
"Ugh."
Chu Lianzi sighed deeply in the room: "King Huiji, the matter of the Northern Expedition, I don't understand these things as a woman, so I'll leave it to you to deal with it with all the powers." ”
"Minister...... We must live up to our mission! ”
