Chapter 71: Succession Contradictions (2)

"After all, the Nanren are the Nanren, and they can never be compared with the Han people of the Central Plains, he Li Yu has been in the South for a long time, once the army of my Song State moves south, Li Yu will never be able to hold on!" Zhao Guangyi saw that Emperor Song was becoming more and more disappointed in himself, but he still refused to be discouraged, and replied again with vigor.

But Zhao Guangyi's sentence does have a certain degree of correctness, since ancient times, those who occupy the northern land have won the world, even if Li Yu successively annexed Wuping, Southern Han, and Western Shu within a month, and then eliminated the invisible hidden danger of Wu Yueguo, it still can't really compete with the Northern Song Dynasty, which has become a general trend.

Therefore, once the Northern Song Dynasty can stabilize the northern border, block the offensive of the Northern Han and Liao coalition forces, and move the whole country south, it is unknown whether Li Yu can drag the crumbling Tang State to hold on for 20 days, after all, Zhao Kuangyin has also fought for half a lifetime, besides, if you really talk about historical achievements, Zhao Kuangyin's military command talent is far superior to Chai Rong, who is highly regarded by the world.

Before Li Yu, Chai Rong's three expeditions to the Southern Tang Dynasty, in fact, it can be seen that Zhao Kuangyin's military combat power can be described as top-notch, with 2,000 to 10,000, 5,000 to 20,000, personally on the horse to kill the then Southern Tang Dynasty fierce general Huang Fuhui, Zhao Kuangyin created one war miracle after another, Chai Rong has been trapped in Shouzhou for a long time and cannot be attacked, and Liu Ren can not get close to the city, and even a Purple Mountain camp took a long time to break through.

Moreover, Chai Rong was addicted to wine in the later period, and it was Zhao Kuangyin who led the civil and military officials to persuade him personally, so he reluctantly pulled Chai Rong back. Besides, the current Zhao Kuangyin knows that the terrain of the Northern Han Dynasty is difficult to form a climate, but there is only one reason why he wants to destroy it as soon as possible, the weak Northern Han has actually been transfusing blood to the Northern Liao State, and the Northern Liao State has also grown its proud cavalry army by continuously drawing nutrients from the small country of the Northern Han Dynasty.

And the Northern Liao in the continuous drinking of the Han people to provide the blood at the same time, but also strengthened the control of the Han people, is the so-called Han rule Han, the Liao State of the Han value policy has been effective, previously because there are no Han people in the court, resulting in the Liao State is not recognized by the Han people, now the Liao State simply moved the capital directly to Youzhou, absorb a large number of northern scholars, with the Huairou policy of the northern scholars to attract Han talents, in terms of one point, now in the Northern Liao army, there are also Han people sitting in a high position.

Therefore, once the Northern Han is left alone, the Northern Liao will become stronger and stronger, and rooted in the Central Plains, which is why the Southern Kingdom cannot be destroyed in the short term, and it is necessary to spare no effort to destroy the Northern Han.

"King Jin, I not only want to move the capital to Luoyang, I also want to move the capital to Chang'an! There is no danger to defend in the land of Bianliang, and the cavalry of the Liao State is thousands of miles a day, and it is no longer a barbarian that the Central Plains looked down on in the past! If the capital is not moved, Bianliang may fall at any time! At this point, Zhao Kuangyin gently raised Zhao Guangyi's hand, as if he wanted to find some understanding and support from his younger brother.

"Official, the barbarians of the Liao State were defeated by Cao Bin in less than ten days, besides, the three yas of the Dingding Mansion have been stationed so far, and they have never let the Liao barbarians open the door to invade my Central Plains. Moreover, Bianliang's financial resources are flourishing, and it is also the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty's invasion of Liao, and then taking Taiyuan Mansion, Liao wants to occupy the Central Plains, which is a fool's dream! Zhao Guangyi replied blankly, sighing and echoing.

"That's... Ziping taught you! ”

These are the heartfelt words of the younger brothers, and there is no instigation from anyone! If the official family doesn't believe it, they can cut off the tongue of their brother! Zhao Guangyi was almost crying, his words were sincere, so insincere.

"That's it, I can turn a blind eye to the matter between you and the courtiers, but when it comes to moving the capital, are you willing to admit that you have selfish intentions?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were full of surprise, and he asked solemnly at Zhao Guangyi.

"The minister does have selfishness, and the minister's selfishness is the queen mother!"

"The Queen Mother? What does the Queen Mother have to do with me moving the capital? When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he was immediately suspicious.

"Second brother... Last time I celebrated my birthday with the Queen Mother, didn't I find out that the Queen Mother was already old... The Queen Mother is carrying a cup, and it is difficult to get up, if the capital is moved now, the Queen Mother will certainly not be able to withstand the bumps along the way..."

I have to say that Zhao Guangyi's emotional card is still very effective, Zhao Kuangyin is a native of Zhuo County, but he was born in Luoyang, and naturally has a deep affection for Luoyang.

And Zhao Guangyi obviously grasped the rhythm of this expression, and hurriedly continued to move with emotion and reason. "Second brother... Of course, the minister also knows that Bianliang is the capital of the Song Dynasty, although there are drawbacks, Luoyang is the capital of the Song Dynasty, and the inherent time and place are advantageous, but now the capital is moved, which is really an unfilial and unrighteous act! ”

"I... Treat the queen mother, I can't wait to dig out my heart and lungs, how can I not be filial and unjust..."Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were slightly sideways, and he said.

"If we wait directly in Luoyang as the capital, and do not return it on the spot, the Queen Mother is already old and can no longer move through this, and she will definitely not be able to come to Luoyang. If something happens to the Queen Mother one day..."

"King Jin! You...! Zhao Kuangyin was furious when he heard the word "accidental", but he was interrupted by Zhao Guangyi's crying halfway through the words.

"Brother Chen, I want to speak! The queen mother's body is not as good as day by day, even if the courtiers go north, they can't sleep day by day, and they worry about the queen mother's body day and night. How can you be blinded! Zhao Guangyi saw that the brand of feelings had been effective, and said hurriedly again.

"It's... I really didn't think about that..."

"Second brother! It stands to reason that everything the younger brother gave was given by the second brother, and the minister and the second brother have also had blood thicker than water since childhood, and the matter of moving the capital, the minister is absolutely selfless, and the position of imperial power cannot change the friendship of our Zhao family..."Zhao Guangyi became more and more emotional, and began to cry silently to Zhao Kuangyin and persuaded him, "If it is... If the second brother has to suspect that Guangyi has two hearts, he can kill me now, otherwise... I'm waiting to take my mother back to my hometown and county to spend my little days... Second brother... Just in front of the cattle hunting, I will lead the second brother in the back... Let's go home together..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't hold back his emotions, looking at Zhao Guangyi, who couldn't cry silently, and Zhao Guangyi, who was crying sincerely, felt soft, and then said with some shame, "Tingyi... I... I've been all these years..."

"The second brother doesn't need to say it anymore, the younger brother naturally knows that when he becomes an emperor, he wants to become a lonely person, but whether the younger brother is the emperor or not, he will not let go of his friendship with the Zhao family! The second brother wants to move the capital, so I naturally should stand by the side of the second brother, but... The Queen Mother can't go through any more bumps..."Zhao Guangyi said as he slowly took out the troop transfer token from his arms and forced it into Zhao Kuangyin's hand.

"Tingyi... You are! Zhao Kuangyin saw the order to transfer troops, and instantly felt a little ashamed and rushed to Jun Yan, in the end, it was his narrow-mindedness as a second brother who doubted the brotherhood of the Zhao family.

"The minister is no longer an official, the minister is no longer in charge of the army, the emperor's position, whether it is passed to Dezhao or Deguang, the minister does not ask... Please allow me to go back to Bianliang to take care of my mother..."Zhao Guangyi wiped away his tears, took a step back with a somewhat unfamiliar move, and knelt at Zhao Kuangyin's feet in silence.

"Tingyi! I... If you don't move the capital, I will lead hundreds of officials back to the capital on the same day, and don't say such angry words again! The Queen Mother has been teaching Chunchun, I hope you have some merits, there are achievements, this time you have a meritorious expedition to the north, I will not forget the reward, as for this throne, Dezhao and Deguang are still young, if I fall, you should follow! Zhao Kuangyin forcefully stuffed the troop transfer order into Zhao Guangyi's arms, and helped Zhao Guangyi up when he arrived.

"Tingyi, I also hope you know that the Great Song Dynasty has a redundant official and military redundancy, although Bianliang is rich, it is difficult to inherit the wealth, and if it goes on like this for less than a hundred years, it will definitely drag the Great Song Dynasty down! It was precisely because I saw this clearly that I strongly advocated moving the capital! The relocation of the capital has been fruitless, but Zhao Kuangyin still did not give up the idea of moving the capital, and once again persuaded Zhao Guangyi bitterly.

"Rest assured! After taking care of the Queen Mother, even if the ministers oppose it! The first brother to stand with the official family was forcibly confined! Also drag these courtiers into Luoyang! ”

Zhao Kuangyin's words are to fulfill the responsibilities of an emperor, and he also said everything he can say, as for whether Zhao Guangyi listened to it, it is unknown, of course, regardless of whether Zhao Guangyi had the idea of moving the capital to Luoyang after that, Zhao Kuangyin's redundant soldiers, redundant wealth, and redundant officials' prophecies have indeed been fulfilled one by one.

The flowers bloomed at both ends, and Zhao Kuangyin's move to the capital came to an end temporarily, and no matter how long it dragged on, or repeatedly advised the ministers to Bianliang as the capital, the result was inevitably to lead the ministers back to Bianliang in disappointment, and Li Yu's side quickly sent people into Wuping.

As for the strategy of annexing Wuping this time, Li Yu also named it "the good leg of the crippled man!" ”
