Chapter 20: Murderous Spirit
Royal Palace, Study
Liu Chan looked coldly at the recital handed over by the shadow guard, and said to Li Hui with a smile: "Oh, this group of people is really taking my words as a deaf ear." ”
Although he was smiling, his tone was clearly full of extraordinarily frustrating coldness, and Li Hui on the side didn't dare to speak, although he didn't think that the problem with the fold of the letter was not serious.
This is the news of the transfer of grain and grass found by Li Hui, the money and grain officials in charge of the grain and grass of the Northern Expedition and the military salary dragged along the way, and they could have arrived at Yue Fei's military camp in seven days at the earliest, but they didn't walk half the distance for half a month.
"Hahaha." Liu Chan smiled very lightly, this time he was really angry. Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, he has repeatedly emphasized that everything in the Northern Expeditionary Army must not be missing, and all the food, grass, and military salaries must be distributed one by one. But they are like this, and those ministers still dare to fool themselves.
"Kill!" Liu Chan was furious, "Arrest the money and grain official who is responsible for escorting the grain and grass this time, and cut it down in front of Qin Hui!" ”
Li Hui was shocked, thinking to himself, how could His Majesty be so angry, isn't this a routine operation? Killing a few officials is nothing, but killing in front of Qin Xiang is a bit of a bit. So Li Hui hurriedly persuaded: "Qin Xiang is there..."
Before Li Hui finished speaking, he was glanced at by Liu Chan, panicked in his heart, and didn't dare to say anything. But I really feel wronged, Your Majesty, you weren't like this before.
Then I heard Liu Chan say: "A little money and grain official dares to fool Yu Zhen like this, and even puts the Northern Expedition in a child's play, not killing is not enough to calm my anger, and not killing is not enough to calm the resentment of the generals of the Northern Expedition." Your shadow guard is doing things for me, if you let me hear these words next time, you can do it yourself. ”
Li Hui hurriedly knelt down: "The minister will never dare to be disappointed, and the minister will receive the order." Li Hui suddenly felt that His Majesty in front of him exuded the aura of a king, if he put it outside, he would definitely come from all directions.
Under Zhuge Liang's teaching, Liu Chan was real, and he valued the Northern Expedition more than anything else. The most important thing is that the Song Dynasty is currently not short of soldiers, generals, or food and grass, and Liu Chan really feels that there is nothing wrong with the Northern Expedition.
Liu Chan wanted to tell Li Hui about Ning Cairen again, but he was so angry that he didn't want to talk at all, so he asked Li Hui to go down to do something. As for Ning Cairen's affairs, he handled it himself.
Liu Chan sighed, it is so difficult to be an emperor, and many things have to be handled by himself. When he was in Shu, he made it clear to his father that he didn't want to be the emperor, and if his father was willing, he could Zen him. It's like the Wei State, you have to go in and out of the court, praise and worship, and go to the palace with a sword. It's a pity that my father is loyal and has no selfishness at all. However, Liu Chan always felt that his father seemed to have seen through his lazy thoughts, so he resolutely refused to accept his Zen position.
Surprisingly, after Liu Chan came out of the study, he did not return to the harem, but went to the newly built Taixue to inspect the students' learning. Since the Song Dynasty moved south, everything needs to start over, and Taixue was only built the year before last.
It's not that Liu Chan doesn't want to mess up, but he really can't stand the non-stop persuasion of the ministers. So, Liu Chan could only choose the easiest job, in order to tell those ministers that he had indeed worked.
However, Liu Chan can also clearly feel the abnormality of this dynasty and the lack of blood. However, the same was true in the early Han Dynasty, and when the Xiongnu were overthrown, the bloodiness came up. Kou can go, and the arrogance that I have been able to go to is not a joke. Liu Chan, who was familiar with the history of the Han Dynasty, understood that he had to overturn the Jin Kingdom, and even if he couldn't do it himself, he had to find someone who could do it.
"Wechen knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Dr. Chen Zheng led the teachers and students to kneel at the door.
"Get up." Liu Chan waved his hand, turned around and entered the place where the students were teaching.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Chan changed his previous casualness and sat on the main seat very seriously, after all, he was the pillar of the next generation, so he should be more serious. After everyone was seated, Liu Chan spoke, "When I heard that the best students of my Song Dynasty had gathered here, I was curious and wanted to come and meet you. ”
"Your Majesty is gracious." Chen Zheng said modestly, but the pride on his face was undiminished.
Liu Chan didn't want to say more: "In this case, I will take the school exam." Let's take the Northern Expedition of Yue Fei on the border as the topic, and you can put forward any opinions you have. ”
There are also many discussions about this matter in the court, and the students in Taixue are also very familiar with it. Li Yu, the student sitting below, wanted to make a splash and arouse the emperor's idea, so he stood up and said, "The student thinks that this Northern Expedition is actually unnecessary. Since the Jin State had promised to return the cities in Shunchang and other places, he took the initiative to talk about peace. In this way, it must be that the Jin State is afraid of the strength of our Song Dynasty. If His Majesty agrees, one can stop the northern war, and the other can rest and recuperate. Your Majesty does not know that although the kingdom is great, the belligerent will perish? ”
Liu Chan shook his head and threw Li Yu's words out of his mind, what was this saying. "The negotiation of peace was proposed by Jin Guo. The war was also started by the Jin State. Could it be that if the Jin Kingdom wants to go to war, it will go to war, and if it wants to negotiate peace, what will it regard my Song Dynasty? As soon as Liu Chan's words came out, he felt that it was very reasonable. Yes, that's how I felt in the first place.
"After the Jin State went south, the people's hearts in our dynasty were unstable and the society was in turmoil, so we should first negotiate peace with the Jin State to stabilize the people's hearts, and when the food is sufficient, it is not too late to start a war to recapture the north." Li Yu also used the same set of remarks of the Lord and the faction, after all, this kind of voice has been spread among the people for a long time.
Liu Chan also thought that this method had some truth at first, but he sneaked out of the palace a few days ago and saw the rich boy who had fled to Lin'an wandering around the Qinglou all day long, looking obsessed with beauty, which made him feel that this set of remarks was simply bullshit.
If you don't take advantage of the current time to recover the north, in a few decades, I'm afraid the situation will be similar to when I was in Shu. There is no fighting spirit, and he only cares about pleasure. But it seems that this is not the case at the beginning, but I still have some ideas. And those boys, I'm afraid even their brains are soaked in wine.
What's more, once the Jin State becomes the trend of Western Qin, then wouldn't all my Han people become slaves, which Liu Chan couldn't bear. The North must be recovered immediately, and there is no hope for the future until everyone is awakened now.
Indeed, as Liu Chan thought, after the Song Dynasty moved south, except for Zhao Go's adopted son Zhao Yan, who had the intention of going on a northern expedition, no emperor ever thought of retaking the northern region. However, it is a pity that although Zhao Yan has a heart, there is no general in the DPRK, and the Longxing Northern Expedition launched failed miserably, and he was forced to conclude a peace agreement with Jin. In such a performance, he was actually considered the most accomplished and virtuous emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. From this point of view, the entire royal family of the Song Dynasty is rotten!
At present, although the Jin State is willing to return the city, in the official history, within a few years, the Jin Wushu of the Jin State tore up the agreement and sent troops to besiege Shunchang. The Southern Song Dynasty's restoration of the north has always remained in the plan, and it will be delayed forever until the next generation. Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much.
I don't know how the emperor of the Song Dynasty under the ground saw Lu Xiufu jumping into the sea with his young lord and more than 800 members of the Zhao and Song royal families to commit suicide a hundred years later, and many loyal ministers followed him, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians jumped into the sea and died as a result, I don't know how he felt.
"When you come to the South China Sea, people are dead and chaotic. The bloody waves beat the heartbreak, and the wind blows the sideburns.
