676: Is it Gou An or Fight Back?
The Great Song Dynasty is more wary of foreign relatives than the Ming Dynasty, once you marry the princess, you will eat and wait for death for the rest of your life.
Empress Guo thought of Qin Wei and couldn't help but say faintly: "At the beginning, countless families in Bianliang City wanted to marry the Qin family, but it was cheap...... It's just that I don't know if ten years later, the Qin family will still be able to do the same, if so...... I wish it ......."
At this moment, Qin Wei is a potential stock that is rising rapidly in the eyes of everyone.
Even if she is the queen, she hopes that one day she can choose a good husband for her daughter, even if Qin Wei doesn't even have a queen now...... But that doesn't stop you from planning ahead.
"Your Majesty is here."
Someone outside the door told her, Queen Guo was still leaning on the couch and said, "I've been very tired recently, but I'm being disrespectful." β
Zhao Zhen came in and saw her lying down, so he said, "Go find the medical officer." β
"I'm fine."
Empress Guo sat up slowly, and then asked someone to make tea.
Zhao Zhen sat down, looked at the interior layout, and felt a little shabby: "The biggest recent expense in the court is the mausoleum of the Queen Mother, bear with it first." β
The royal mausoleum was built with money and countless artificial piles.
Although Liu E is not an emperor, her mausoleum specifications naturally cannot be compared with ordinary queen mothers.
According to historical records, when Liu E's deadline was approaching, he even wore a gown to worship the Great Song Dynasty Temple.
According to the calculation of that cost, if one emperor died every year, and there was no need for foreign enemies to attack, the Great Song Dynasty would be destroyed due to financial collapse and army rebellion.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor's mausoleum was not built by migrant workers, but by the army.
The duty of the army at this moment is not to defend the country, but to work as coolies, so the court often reprimands the officials below for serving the army, which is a crow falling on a pig, and you can't see your own black.
Empress Guo smiled and said, "It's already very good." By the way, Your Majesty has been on the throne for a long time, but the palace seems a little deserted, but it is a little boring, and the concubines are thinking about whether to recruit some more women to relieve Your Majesty's boredom. β
She stared at Zhao Zhen as she spoke, and after his brows furrowed, she lowered her head, not knowing whether she was panicked or proud.
"I'm not bored."
Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "There are many women in the palace, so there is no need to mention this matter in the future." β
Since ancient times, emperors have not been people who have always been the same, but Zhao Zhen is not an abusive person, at least in terms of harem concubines, he has not indulged in lust.
As for decades later, in order to give birth to a son, he almost blew up his waist, it was just a helpless move......
When Empress Guo heard this, she hurriedly lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth were filled with joy.
Since ancient times, emperors have been high in the Nine Heavens, and their majesty is unfathomable.
Majesty is the first enjoyment, and the feeling of looking down on all beings is so comfortable that some chiefs will shout out that I want to do evil for another five hundred years.
The second enjoyment is that the beauties of the world are allowed to enjoy themselves, and the things in the world are allowed to be enjoyed by themselves.
If it is a man, he will look forward to beautiful women and be a bride every night, but Zhao Zhen doesn't want to.
In the past few days, it has been rare for the two to sit together, so Zhao Zhen whispered something outside.
ββ¦β¦ The Liao people probably want to take a look at it more, to see what kind of temperament I have, if I am easy to bully, I will definitely raise a large army to threaten. They are short of money, Yelu Longxu is already old, whether they can survive this year is still a matter of two questions......"
When Empress Guo listened to these things, her eyes gradually became brighter.
"The people of the Western Xia seem to be very sad, but their people went back to report the news too fast, and now it is estimated that they have gone out of the northwest, which shows that they are anxious."
The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth were more sarcastic, and Empress Guo asked, "Your Majesty, what are they anxious about?" β
"Thought it was an opportunity."
Zhao Zhen's face had a solemn look: "Since Li Yuanhao ascended the throne, there is still chaos in the Western Xia Kingdom, and those opponents are still staring at him in groups. β
"Then he should fight those people!"
Empress Guo changed Li Yuanhao's situation to Zhao Zhen's body, and felt that she should fight.
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "Infighting is just the worst plan, fighting back and forth, and in the end it is your own things that are broken, Li Yuanhao is not stupid, so ......"
Empress Guo heard some evil anger, and exclaimed: "Does he dare to come to the Great Song Dynasty?" β
Zhao Zhen smiled: "Why don't you dare? Don't forget, the first thing he did after he came to power was to attack Qinzhou, if he succeeded, the entire Fengxiang Mansion would be in danger. β
"Thanks to Su Xun."
Empress Guo also heard about this matter, and knew that it was because Su Xun had uncovered the conspiracy of the Western Xia people in time to avoid the loss of Qinzhou......
Zhao Zhen nodded, got up slowly, and there was a look of longing in his eyes: "This is the first threat I have faced since I ascended the throne, what should I do?" β
β¦β¦
"What should I do?"
Zhao Zhen convened the meeting of Zaifu and important ministers, and Qin Wei was also there.
Lu Yijian said: "Your Majesty, it is uncertain whether Li Yuanhao will invade, but if the Great Song Dynasty is heavily guarded, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed." β
Wang Zhen said: "It's better to be ridiculed than to be caught off guard, the last time Li Yuanhao attacked Qinzhou, if it wasn't discovered, the northwest would be in danger." β
Lu Yijian said unhappily: "State affairs are not neighborhood fights, if you can, the old man wishes that the entire northwest would be heavily guarded, but the old man is the prime minister, you have to consider the morale of the people, and you have to keep an eye on the Liao people on the other side, you can't give them a chance, these bits and pieces of the old man have to consider, what have you considered?" β
Lu Yijian was quite proud for a while, and the old mistake of domineering was committed again.
Wang Zhen was stumped by his words, but he couldn't fight back, and he was dumbfounded for a while.
"There's no need to think about dealing with the Tanguts."
Pang Ji looked at Qin Wei with the kind of eyes that 'did not happen to the old man'.
He knew that Lao Lu was going to be in trouble.
If you dare not give Wang Zhen face, Qin Wei will come out to sweep your face.
Qin Wei came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Li Yuanhao is now a trapped beast, and he can't calm down the internal disputes in Western Xia, and he doesn't dare to calm them, otherwise he will be worried that the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao people will take advantage of the fire to rob, so he will definitely take advantage of the situation." β
"Excuse me?"
Lu Yijian felt that Qin Wei's idea was too naΓ―ve, "What kind of momentum is he borrowing?" β
"Yes!"
Qin Wei said firmly: "There is a big trouble in the country, and there is an opponent, so the best way is to go outside to solve it." β
"How to solve it? You're not talking nonsense...... This is the Imperial Front, Your Majesty has no time to listen to your nonsense. β
Lu Yijian has been paying attention to a lot of things recently, and her temper has deteriorated a lot.
Qin Wei didn't look at him, and continued: "There are political enemies in the country, and political enemies have an army in their hands, how can we weaken him?" β
"The army is suppressed!"
Lu Yijian's reaction was very Central Plains and very Confucian.
Qin Wei smiled and said, "Why don't you solve it externally?" β
"How to fix it?"
Lu Yijian asked with a sneer, he felt that Qin Wei was standing up for Wang Zhen.
Qin Wei said: "Go to war!" β
Grunt!
The hall was silent for an instant, and I don't know whose stomach screamed, and the sound came out clearly, but everyone didn't have time to see who was hungry.
They looked at each other and thought the idea was really crazy.
Although the Great Song Dynasty has been fighting small wars in recent years, there have really never been major wars between countries.
Moreover, the war requires not only attrition, but also the loss of benefits for all sides...... Those who look and the economy, those officials who take advantage of their backs......
Lu Yijian also knew this, but he couldn't say it clearly, he just said coldly: "Desperate soldiers will not end well!" β
The imperial historians were also dissatisfied: "Why do you want to go to war? Once the war starts, it will be bloody, and the people will be in chaos, and a certain person can't bear to think of that scene. Governing the country is the first thing to be stable! β
Yan Shu coughed dryly: "That...... The Great Song Dynasty has been peaceful for many years, and the Western Xia is only a minor trouble, and there is no need to make a big move. β
This is the first time that Yan Shu has stood on top of the court as a 'Xianggong'.
Obviously, he was still a little unnatural, so he spoke a little stiffly.
On the third day of Liu E's burial, Wang Yaochen wrote to resign.
And Wang Yaochen was replaced by Yin Yanshu, who had been in Kaifeng Mansion for two years, and now the third envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and the vacant post of Zaifu was replaced by Fan Zhongyan.
Zhao Zhen knew that Wang Yaochen was loyal, but he couldn't keep Wang Yaochen anymore.
Liu E is dead, all rights must be excessive, the emperor wants to cultivate his own power, use his most trusted people, and Wang Yaochen ......
He was faithful, but he was not a 'confidant.'
A group of Zai Fu were all opposing Qin Wei's thinking, even Pang Ji and Yan Shu, who were good to Qin Wei.
This is not a personal vendetta, but a vigilance that this radical idea is accepted by Zhao Zhen, and when the time comes......
"The Han Dynasty was exhausted, and the former Han Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, which began with him."
Lu Yijian's waist straightened, and he said with a sneering gaze: "If the Great Song Dynasty wants the country to be stable, it must be cautious in its actions, how rash is it to start a war at every turn?" β
Qin Wei was in a trance, and he remembered those later words.
Later, in the face of Zhao Zhen's positive attitude, Fu Bi said: "I hope that Your Majesty will not say anything for twenty years." β
The Zaifu of the Great Song Dynasty were taboo to talk about the use of troops, as if it was a precursor to the end of the world, and there were two reasons for all this, one was that after several wars, they despaired of the Great Song army.
The second reason is to be wary of the warriors, who would rather be the status quo than let the warriors become the masters.
Think about it, if the Great Song Dynasty often sang triumphant songs in foreign wars, would the warriors be stunned?
Will they covet power?
In the late Tang Dynasty and the later chaotic period, the warriors rose up like this, and then treated civil officials as pigs and dogs.
That can't come again!
After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, he had a plan in his heart.
But he had to look first and see what the important ministers thought.
The courtiers are a little arrogant, he feels this, but how can he fight back?
His foundation is not stable, so he must endure it.
But his patience was getting worse and worse.
The debate just now quickly changed from whether or not to go to war with a foreign country to resolve domestic contradictions, to where the Great Song Dynasty should go.
This is a big topic, although Zhao Zhen does not approve of frequent wars with foreign countries, but the so-called stability is also unacceptable.
In those days, the role of the emperor would be weakened and he would become a dispensable statue of a wood-carved god.
He was looking at the Zaifukes.
Lu Yijian raised his head slightly, looking a little arrogant.
Fan Zhongyan, who had just been promoted to deputy prime minister, had a sad look between his eyebrows.
And......
What's he doing?
Zhao Zhen looked carefully and found that Fan Zhongyan and Wang Zhen in front of him were making small moves, the former pulling the latter's sleeve, as if he was whispering to dissuade something.
Zhao Zhen's forehead was full of black lines, thinking that this is the court, what are you two doing?
Qin Wei knew that this was Fan Zhongyan preventing Wang Zhen from coming out to speak for himself.
Although Fan Zhongyan was not malicious, and he was a staunch reformer, he was ...... in the Great Song Dynasty War and reform are not of the same nature.
He just felt that Qin Wei's thinking was inappropriate.
"Without Han Wu, the former Han would have died early."
Qin Wei's voice suddenly sounded, and Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but let go of his hand and looked blankly ahead.
Han Wu's reckless military force is a foregone conclusion, do you still want to overturn the case for him?
Qin Wei said calmly: "At the beginning of the former Han Dynasty, there was a siege of Baishan Mountain, what is this?" This is the Huns coveting the Central Plains, their power is expanding, looking at the Central Plains, the world of flowers and flowers are spent, so they continue to look for opportunities to attack. Such a Huns, can they fight or not? If you don't fight him, you will get stronger and stronger, until a huge force like the Liao people appears, and at that time, how can you fight? β
Zaifu's faces were a little ruddy, and Lu Yijian said: "The Liao people can only choose peace. β
Although the Great Song Dynasty is not strong, it has money and people, and the two sides have fought several times, and the Great Song Dynasty is looking for teeth all over the ground every time, but the toughness is enough, which makes the Liao people a little jealous.
Qin Wei used the Liao people as an analogy, and somewhat ridiculed the meaning of Gou An.
"Empress Lu was humiliated, how about being my dynasty?"
"That's just a matter of doing it."
At that time, the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan wrote to Empress Lu, saying that I live in swamps and grasslands, and I yearn for the prosperity of the Central Plains very much, and you just died of your husband, or let's live together.
I couldn't bear this kind of shame and humiliation when I changed it to the Great Song Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty endured it at that time.
"At that time, patience was only to accumulate strength, and a few generations later, when it came to the Han Dynasty, the Han soldiers were strong and strong, so the army went out to avenge it."
Qin Wei's tone was sonorous, "Before the founding of our dynasty, Shi Jingjiao recognized the thief as his father, so that the Central Plains would no longer be in danger. Later, the defeat of the Gaoliang River made the Great Song Dynasty collapse...... But has Da Song accumulated strength? β
He looked at the Zaifu and said with blazing eyes: "The sage also once said that the royal road is retro, and the king is respected. The revenge of the tenth generation, especially revenge! The Great Song Dynasty had the defeat of the Gaoliang River back then, and recently it has been humiliated by the Yuanyuan Alliance, how long will it take to take revenge? Han Xiang, how many lifetimes is Da Song ready to take revenge?! β
Ma's!
Who dares to say that the Han people are timid and cowardly?!
Qin Wei said angrily: "Our ancestors have never been afraid of opponents, no matter who provokes us and kills our people, ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, we will have revenge one day!" β
The hall fell silent all of a sudden, and only Qin Wei's somewhat rapid breathing could be heard.
Lu Yijian blushed and wanted to refute it, but he agreed to live a stable life.
One word.
It's okay for us to do anything internally, we should reform when we need to reform, and we should reform it...... You can do it if you have the chance, but it's ...... to go to war It's a must-have.
Ahh
It's not Lao Lu Yi, but the Great Song Dynasty has been beaten by foreign countries on the battlefield for many years, and even Zai Fu has no courage to fight.
Pang Ji said: "Think long-term, you are still young, don't be anxious." β
