Chapter 8 Attitudes
The matter of the Northern Expedition was too far away from Liu Chan, or he didn't care at all. At that time, the Han Dynasty treated Hu people just by having hands, so in Liu Chan's view, it was not a big problem at all.
And as soon as Liu Chan remembered what Zhao Ding told him about the deployment problems in various places, he had a little headache. He understood that the current Song Dynasty was also a mess. However, the situation is much better than in the late Han Dynasty, after all, the princes of the Eighteenth Road are not joking. But everyone in the capital also has their own ideas, and the local generals also have their own careful thoughts.
For example, he heard that Zhao Jun, who was demoted, is also a hard-line main battle faction. But he once united with Qin Hui of the Lord and Harmony faction, and it can be said that he has a very heavy heart of interests. Although it can be regarded as serving the country and being loyal enough, how can I say it? This person has always put interests first, and if the Northern Expedition is contrary to the will of the imperial court, he will definitely give up the Northern Expedition. This can be seen from his friendship with Qin Hui.
Of course, our Majesty Liu Chan didn't care about this matter at all, after all, everyone has careful thoughts, as long as there are no problems in the general direction.
Liu Chan can now be said to live in the deep palace almost all day long, not asking about any court politics. The Northern Expedition has already begun, the internal affairs are handed over to Zhao Ding, and the grain and grass issues are handed over to Qin Hui, and he only needs to make a major decision, Liu Chan, who has been in power in Shu for more than 40 years, can tell you very clearly that there are any major decisions to make. You only need to show an attitude, and the people below will obediently do it for you.
As for Zhao Ding, Liu Chan met in person. Tell him clearly that he will take care of the affairs himself. If there is nothing major and bothering him again, it will not be his Liu Chan's fault if he supports peace. Zhao Ding hurriedly shook his head in fright, claiming that he would definitely deal with any problem, and he would never dare to bother Liu Chan.
As a result, Liu Chan was pure, and of course Qin Hui's matter came to an end. Poor Qin Hui was still nervously busy with food and grass, but he didn't know that Liu Chan had already given up his original idea.
Liu Chan looked at the girl who had just been included in the palace, and he was happy in his heart. He didn't dare to communicate too much with the concubines who had already been titled in the palace, for fear of being seen as a problem, so he could only find a newcomer to comfort the pain of lovesickness. I have to say that in this country called the Song Dynasty, the attitude of women is more docile than that of the Han Dynasty, and they are more able to serve people. Unlike the Han Dynasty, the man made the woman angry and was beaten countless times. What, you say it's impossible? Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has been a Han Gaozu Liu Bang who is afraid of Empress Lu, and later the Empress Lu is even more in the dynasty, and no one dares to oppose it. When it came to the Later Han Dynasty, it was even more outrageous, and the Queen Mother was in power, and the system of the Linzhao Dynasty was rotten.
Isn't there anyone against it? Who is against it? And people are really doing a good job!
Why?
can't stand the fact that others are self-aware of themselves, and they don't know if they have the ability to do so. If you have the ability, then do it well; If you can't do it, then find competent ministers. So, it looks like they're doing a pretty good job.
Even Liu Chan felt that the Han Dynasty was the emperor and the harem sharing the power of the world.
At this time, a eunuch walked in and bowed to Liu Chan and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Xiang asks to see you." ”
The wine glass in Liu Chan's hand stopped, and he thought in his heart: What is Qin Xiang doing here, there is no big thing recently! Liu Chan waved his hand: "Stop singing and dancing, come and tidy up here." Take Qin Xiang to my study, I guess I won't be able to play today. ”
The little eunuch who followed Liu Chan saw that Liu Chan looked depressed, and ran to Liu Chan's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to be in the study..." ”
Liu Chan looked at the eunuch beside him in surprise, this is a talent, he dared to arrange this kind of thing in the emperor's study, he didn't expect it. But it seems that he also let the concubine wear the emperor's clothes, which is really fifty steps and a hundred steps, and the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.
Liu Chan was a little moved, but he didn't dare to do it after all. The duties of civil and military affairs in this dynasty seem to have been separated, but the power of the scholars seems to have increased a lot, and it would be terrible if someone found out. But the scholar made a fuss, so Liu Chan just couldn't say it.
"Another day." Liu Chan refused, but the refusal was not complete.
By the time Liu Chan entered the study, Qin Hui had been waiting for a long time. Liu Chan was very satisfied when he saw Qin Hui, because this courtier was very understanding and understood his own thoughts, and he could perfectly execute anything he explained. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know whether this courtier was loyal or not, he would have wanted to hand over all the power of the Song Dynasty to him.
"Aiqing, what's the matter?" Liu Chan waved his hand and did not let Qin Hui kneel. When is the etiquette, how to kneel at every turn. No kneeling!
In fact, Qin Hui didn't want to come, but although Wang Lun was led by Wang Lun on the surface, he actually arranged it. Now that there is a sudden disagreement, all the forces are noisy and want an explanation, after all, it took so much effort. Although Qin Hui felt that it was nothing more than a change of opinion, there was nothing. But there is a key to this, that is, what to do with Huizong's coffin. You can't really ignore it!
"Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask what to do with Huizong's body? If the Jin side wants to use this as a threat to force us to agree to peace, how will we deal with it? Qin Hui asked in a low voice, everyone knows that Huizong and the first emperor who is still alive are His Majesty's rebels. I didn't dare to mention this at all, but who made Qin Hui the head of the peace forces, if he didn't ask, how could the team be led.
Liu Chan was very suspicious, Huizong? Who is Huizong? Why is everyone cautious when mentioning it, as if it is a little memory, who is it? Lying down, it seems to be the captured emperor.
Liu Chan's mouth opened wide, and his heart was extremely shocked. The Song Dynasty even had the emperor captured, and those ministers were still discussing peace, how shameless it must be. In other words, what did the Song Dynasty do that hurt heaven and reason, how could the emperor be captured.
If Liu Chan didn't know about this, he could pretend that nothing had happened. But now that he knew, he was entangled. After all, he is an emperor, and it is impossible to ignore it. Liu Chan walked around tangled, but he couldn't think of a good countermeasure. Huizong is still the father of his body, and he can't be scolded yet. The Han Dynasty established the world with filial piety, and Liu Chan was deeply affected, so no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, he did not scold out loud. Since you can't think of a good solution, find someone who can come up with a solution.
Liu Chan stared at Qin Hui and said, "The holy decree of the Northern Expedition, I have already issued it, and I will never repent." Huizong's coffin can't be ignored, Aiqing might as well think of a countermeasure to get the best of both worlds. ”
Qin Hui didn't expect Liu Chan to be so tough, and continued: "The Jin State wants to ask for peace at the cost of canceling the puppet Qi regime and returning the Song land south of the Yellow River, and they also plan to send Huizong's coffin back. In this way, our army did not need the Northern Expedition to recover most of the cities in the Central Plains. ”
Liu Chan thought to himself that there would be such a good thing? Immediately, he asked people to bring the map and inspect the garrisons of the Song army in various places. Well, I don't understand it! Fighting wars is not Liu Chan's strong point, and engaging in internal affairs is almost the same.
"You don't have to return the Jin Kingdom, my Song Dynasty can also knock it down. Aiqing may have forgotten that the Hu people are dangerous and not virtuous, if you don't subdue them today, then they will attack again in the future. At that time, the city was repeated over and over again, and it was the national strength of our Great Song Dynasty that was consumed. After speaking, Liu Chan felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. Isn't it, they will knock down the city, scrape all the property, and then return the city to you. After a few years, you finally restored the local people's livelihood, and the Jin soldiers fought again, and at that time, you still couldn't hold the city. It's better to knock down the city yourself!
Qin Hui didn't expect Liu Chan to be so enthusiastic, is this still my insecure emperor, who repeats it all day long, promises to repent, and promises to repent? The conditions given by this Jin Guo are already very good, although it is a bit of a boiled frog in warm water, but Your Majesty should agree? Why did the war start?
