Lin'an City Palace, Ouchi Forbidden Garden, Ling Han Pavilion.

The kings of the Southern Song Dynasty liked strange flowers and plants, and there were many plum forests in the imperial city of Lin'an City, such as Chunxin Pavilion, Dark Fragrance Pavilion, Linghan Pavilion, Snow Path Pavilion, Meigang Pavilion, Meigang Garden, etc., all of which were named after plum blossoms.

In front of the Ling Han Pavilion, hundreds of plum trees are in full bloom, and the fragrance is bursting, refreshing people's hearts. In the attic, Zhao Kuo, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, sat on a chair, with a thick blanket on his legs, staring at a piece of plum forest in front of him.

The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon.

In fact, enjoying the plum blossoms during the day has another scene.

"Zhao Hong, you're here.

The eunuch stepped forward to report, but Zhao Kuo didn't reply, and said softly.

To Zhao Hong, he called him by his name, without any politeness, and he didn't know if it was like this before.

"Your Majesty is enjoying the plum blossoms on a good day, and you are in good spirits!"

Zhao Hong took a few steps forward, stood on Zhao Kuozhi's side, and bowed.

The Gaozong Dynasty had restored ministers but no restored monarchs, the Xiaozong Dynasty had restored monarchs but no restored ministers, and the Ningzong Dynasty had neither restored ministers nor restored monarchs.

The first Han Yanxuan, the successor Shi Miyuan, the two terms of power and power, the Song dynasty benefited and declined, and Zhao Kuo was like a puppet, which can be described as a nest.

But I don't know what happened to this big Song official family who let him come over?

"Jiguo Gong, what do you think of Merlin in front of you?"

Zhao Kuo whispered, his eyes kept staring at Merlin in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the cold plum blossoms are in full bloom and fragrant, but they do not compete with the flowers. Quiet and inactive, this is also in line with His Majesty's current state of mind and way of governing the country. ”

Zhao Hong said boldly.

Song Ningzong, a "Ning" word, can be seen in Zhao Kuo's life.

"Quiet and inaction, sometimes, it's just a last resort."

Zhao Kuo remained silent, pondered for a moment, and continued to ask softly:

"Jiguo Gong, you are well-informed, have you ever been to Chaoshan?"

"Super Mountain?"

Zhao Hong was stunned for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed, the minister has never been there."

I don't know, did Zhao Kuo teach his prince, the nominal son, whether he was so close?

"The plum blossoms of the super mountain, bloom before and after the beginning of spring, five steps and a bush, ten steps and a pull, each plum forest, there are more than 1,000 plum blossoms, a flower, more than 10,000. Plum blossoms bloom with buds, the sky is white in a radius of ten miles, such as flying snow in the sky, it is magnificent, and the fragrance can be transmitted to ten miles away. The fragrance is fragrant, refreshing, forgetting the troubles of the world, than the plum blossoms of the Lin'an Palace, but the atmosphere is much more spectacular! ”

Zhao Kuo's voice revealed a hint of yearning.

The aroma is tangy, and you forget your worries. Could this be the reason why Zhao Hong is willing to be a puppet emperor?

Then you should abdicate, retire to the emperor, be refreshed without distractions, and let your emperor ascend the throne!

Your old man occupies the pit and doesn't, but you want to kill your sons and daughters in a hurry!

"Your Majesty can go to Chaoshan to enjoy the plum blossoms before the Spring Festival, or build a palace in Chaoshan to watch the plum blossoms. If Your Majesty wants to go, the minister can accompany His Majesty there. ”

Zhao Hong unconsciously wanted to get closer and gain the trust of the "father" earlier.

"Traveling to enjoy plum blossoms will inevitably disturb the people. To build a palace, I don't know how much it will cost. Forget it. ”

Zhao Kuo shook his head, but he couldn't hear how much regret there was.

Zhao Hong secretly admired. His father, who is a "wreck" father, is indeed a good man who is thrifty and loves the people.

Unfortunately, a good man is not a good emperor. A good emperor must not only love the people, but also protect the people and ensure that his subjects are not destroyed by the flames of war, otherwise he will be a dereliction of duty and a sinner for the ages.

"Zhao Hong, your wife, have you found it back?"

Zhao Kuo's title to Zhao Hong is converted between the two titles of Jiguo Gong and Zhao Hong, but they are all bland and tasteless.

"Your Majesty, there may not be enough people sent to find it yet. After the Yuan Xi Festival, the minister will send someone to look for it again, and you will definitely find it back. ”

Zhao Hong replied decently.

"After getting it back, the two of them get along well, and it's best to have another emperor and grandson. The royal heir is tough, you have to work harder. ”

Zhao Hong's tone was soft, just like ordinary people talking about their parents' shortcomings.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows."

Zhao Hong looked at the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids, and replied softly.

However, he was also a little worried. Maybe Shi Miyuan and the others already knew the news that his concubine was pregnant, but they didn't kill the killer before they saw the dagger.

It seems that his heir, Princess Yu, has done a good job of secrecy, and she deserves to be an excellent underground intelligence officer.

"Your Majesty, the minister's concubine Zhou is already pregnant, and the minister has just found out. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me, and I ask Your Majesty to keep it secret. ”

Zhao Hong leaned down, pretended to cover Zhao Kuo with a blanket, and whispered in his ear.

"Really?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Hong, and the other party nodded slightly. Zhao Kuo's eyes unconsciously floated with a layer of joy. He turned his head, looked at Merlin in front of him, and was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Zhao Hong, there was "Qinyuan Spring" in the past, and then there was "Linjiang Immortal", and it was "Eclectic Talents", you really impressed me! ”

Zhao Kuo didn't even look at Zhao Hong, and quietly diverted the topic.

For the first time, he found that his emperor still had some talent, which was very different from the rumors.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The lyrics and music are only trivial matters, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. The ability of military force to expand the territory and the ability of culture to strengthen the country and enrich the people is the foundation of our dynasty. A dynasty that has both civil rule and martial arts is a prosperous age. ”

Zhao Hong bowed solemnly and solemnly.

At this time, he had the courage to take a closer look, and Zhao Kuo was wearing a Taoist robe.

The "thin golden" Song Huizong believed in the Tao and was called the "Daojun Emperor". This historical Song Ningzong was obsessed with Taoism, even more than him. It's just that the king is weak and strong, and Zhao Kuo has to be much more frugal.

During the reign of Zhao Kuo, the situation in the north changed dramatically, the Mongols rose, and the Jin Dynasty was invaded by the Mongols for many years, and was forced to move the capital to Bianjing, south of the Yellow River. The Jin State weakened, and the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty had a lot of discussions, so the Jin State coins were stopped for more than ten years.

In the tenth year of Jiading, the Jin Dynasty parted ways to attack the Song Dynasty on the grounds that the Southern Song Dynasty did not accept the year's coins, and the Song and Jin wars resumed, starting from Shandong in the east and Qinlong in the west, winning and losing each other, lasting for seven years. Until the new monarch of the Jin Kingdom, who had just ascended the throne, Wanyan Shouxu sent people to communicate with the Southern Song Dynasty. The two sides of Song and Jin entered a brief peace.

During the reign of Zhao Kuo, he was obsessed with Taoism, built and rebuilt Taoist palaces, and was not inferior to his predecessor Zhao Ji of Song Huizong. It's just that he is cowardly and kind by nature, and he doesn't dare to build a lot of construction and do whatever he wants. Otherwise, the Southern Song Dynasty weakened faster.

"Bunji...... Martial Arts ......"

Zhao Kuo raised his head in surprise, he stared at Zhao Hong, looked around, and said nothing.

"Go down, talk to Your Majesty about some family matters!"

Zhao Hong knew this, turned his head, and said to the eunuchs and guards next to him.

"Let's go down, father and son, and talk about housework."

The eunuch looked over, Zhao Kuo waved his hand, and said softly.

"Official, your body ......"

The eunuch was still hesitating, Zhao Hong's eyes widened, and his voice was slightly higher.

"What, do you want to resist the decree?"

This guy's name is Li Gu, he is Zhao Kuo's inner servant, he is a cold fan, and he loves to be cool. I don't know, is it the spies of Queen Yang Guizhi and Shi Miyuan?

"Li Gu, go down. Our father and son talk about homely things. ”

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Hong and waved his hand lightly at Li Gu.

"The minions are gone."

Li Gu glanced at Zhao Hong, and the corners of his lips rose slightly. He withdrew his gaze, waved his hand, and left with the guards and palace maids on the side.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is courageous, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!"

Zhao Hong suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and bowed again.

It seems that Zhao Kuo's surroundings are also full of eyeliner, but I don't know if it's Shi Miyuan or someone else's.

"Don't worry about Li Gu, he has followed me since he was a child, and he is a loyal minion. When people get old, they will inevitably be a little suspicious. ”

Zhao Hong's voice was soft, and it seemed that what he said was trivial and insignificant.

"Your Majesty, the minister is reckless."

Zhao Hong's face turned red and was slightly embarrassed.

Compared with Zhao Kuo, he is still too tender and too composed.

"You've done enough better than you've been with the donkey temper before. I'm a little curious, are you a good cultivator, so you're much calmer? ”

Zhao Kuo's eyes turned to the plum blossoms in full bloom in the forest, and his face was forever calm.

"You are good to be your prince, why bother to offend Shi Miyuan, and make trouble. What's in it for you? ”

Zhao Kuo's face was calm, his tone was gentle, and his kung fu to nourish his qi was perfect.

First of all, he said that in the future, he would send Shi Miyuan to Yazhou, and called Shi Miyuan "Xin'en", which meant that after ascending the throne, he would exile Shi Miyuan to the distant barren land of Xinzhou and Enzhou. The rare treasures that Shi Mi had entered and enshrined were shattered again.

You must know that Shi Miyuan is powerful, even if he is a great Song official, he must be in awe.

This Zhao Hong is also too young and too composed.

"Your Majesty has endured Shi Miyuan for fifteen or sixteen years, and in the end he is still like a puppet? If it's a private matter, the minister can bear it. However, controlling the government and the government will bring disaster to the country and the people, and the ministers can't bear it. If the minister endures it any longer, the country of the Great Song Dynasty will be over! The minister is rebellious, Your Majesty forgives the sin! ”

Zhao Hong said it boldly, and slammed it to the ground.

The continuous westward and southern invasion of the Mongolian iron cavalry was like a bamboo, destroying the withering and decaying. Western Liao and Khorezm were destroyed one after another, and Western Xia, Jin Dynasty, and Goryeo begged for peace, but they could not escape the fate of destroying the country. And the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were settled in the south of the Yangtze River, not thinking of progress, drunk and dreaming of death.

In the face of the booming Mongolian iron cavalry, Gou An of the Southern Song Dynasty could only bring about his own destruction. The main reason why the Southern Song Dynasty can survive for so long is not how powerful the Southern Song Dynasty was, but because of the geographical buffer of Xia and Jin, because the Mongolian cavalry was more suitable for galloping in the fields of Central Asia and Eastern Europe, but also because of the internal strife of the Mongolian aristocracy, in a word, when the Mongols decided to destroy the Song Dynasty.

If the situation is left to stand still, the Southern Song Dynasty can only be after Yashan.

This is the last chance of the Southern Song Dynasty, otherwise there would be no then.

"Shi Mi is far away, what can I do? Not to mention ......"

Zhao Kuo was not angry, he looked at the blooming plum blossoms and suddenly asked.

"Is it true that you said at the court meeting that day that you would make firearms?"

"In front of Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to speak falsely. Shen is sure that within a year or two, he will be able to build firearms to change the shortcomings of our Great Song Dynasty's weak army. ”

Zhao Hong is full of confidence, and his speech is also sonorous and powerful.

At this time, you must not pretend.

"It's good that you have faith. I am also looking forward to seeing your firearms as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Kuo said softly, the clouds were light and the wind was light.

"The northern Tatar iron cavalry was crisscrossed, and the troops were in full swing, and the Jin people were driven south of the Yellow River. Do you have a good plan to curb its southward movement? ”

South?

Zhao Hong was slightly startled. It seems that this puppet emperor is also clear about state affairs.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the foreign and Jin people, we must also cultivate good governance internally, organize and train the new army, and reorganize the armament, so as to have a glimmer of life."

According to the memory and foresight in his mind, Zhao Hong said it slowly.

"How to cultivate good governance internally, you can talk about it."

Zhao Kuo leaned back in his chair and spoke softly.

After so many years of puppet career, his patience has been perfected.

"Your Majesty, do you know the root of my dynasty's poverty and weakness?"

As a people's teacher majoring in history, Zhao Hong is naturally clear about the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. In terms of these malpractices, he boasted that he was the second in the world, and no one dared to call him the first.

"Weak and poor?"

Zhao Kuo was unconsciously stunned, and his face was unconsciously solemn.

"Your Majesty, yes, the root of our dynasty's poverty and weakness lies in the "three redundancies". ”

The basic knowledge in these textbooks can be used to show off.
