Chapter 283: It's Not Me Who Is Wrong, It's the World!
After all, the donkey cart rally is not the inheritance of the Zhao family, otherwise, Wanyan Zongwang probably won't be able to catch up with Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan.
I have to admit that the Wanyan family's clan is indeed capable of producing many people, and in terms of it, it is indeed higher than the Zhao family.
The next clan can come out in large numbers, or I am super, Yuan.
The clan in the early Ming Dynasty was actually not bad, although Zhu Fan and Zhu Li were more short-tempered than the other, their temper and ability were indeed proportional. As for Zhu Di, not to mention, the farthest among the emperors during his reign - Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan are not counted, they are passive.
For Zhao Kuangyin, Xixia is just a warm-up game.
It turned out that the worries of Qu Zhen and the others were completely superfluous, and the Kaibao Song army dealt with Western Xia as simple as stepping on ants with their feet - it was effortless, but there may be fish that slipped through the net.
After all, there are no satellites now, as long as the Western Xia people are determined to go up the mountain with their legs, it will be difficult for the Song army to catch up.
In line with the fact that lucid waters and lush mountains are indicators of gold and silver, the Song army did not set fire to the mountains or shelled the forests, but just let them into the mountains, as if nothing had happened.
It's not that they are forgiving and forgiving, but the Song army accepted the surrender of the Western Xia and subcontracted the task to the puppet regime of the Western Xia.
The Song army began to broadcast on a loudspeaker at the foot of the mountain, announcing that one would be caught and a reward of one hundred taels of silver; If you are able to surrender within seven days, you will have a good attitude of admitting your mistakes and will not be responsible for your escape. Zhao Kuangyin said that it is rich and capricious, I would rather lose money than stand up to this authority.
Facts have proved that money can make ghosts grind, and under the high bounty, the Tangut people burst out with great enthusiasm - what Tangut people, you are a hundred taels of silver walking in my eyes!
Some people, out of fear, turned themselves in and found that Song Jun really spoke and did not hold him accountable. But those who were caught were not so lucky, and sent them to the West Ice Depot one by one, and after some training, they were sent to various dynasties for sale.
Gao Yongneng, Qu Zhen and others also saw the new tactics for the first time, and they were so shocked that they threw themselves to the ground, and they couldn't even speak.
All it takes is one salvo from that artillery, and the morale of the opponent will collapse to the bottom, and even the array will not be able to line up.
Put yourself in their shoes, and they will understand. If it were replaced by them, they would be fired in a volley by such artillery, and I am afraid they would not be as good as those western thieves.
Li Shunju wrote a letter overnight, playing Song Shenzong Zhao Ji.
In Bianjing City, Zhao Ji sat in the palace and watched the music, always feeling that there was something wrong with this world.
Xu Xi was incompetent, involving the three armies, and when Yongle City was about to be broken, Emperor Taizu took the heavenly soldiers and generals to support the northwest?
If this piece hadn't been written by Li Shunju, Zhao Ji would definitely have to throw it into the incense burner and burn it. But as we all know, eunuchs are close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and there is no need to deceive the emperor at all. Besides, when Li Shunju was usually in the palace, he was quite famous, and Zhao Ji decided to take a look at it.
Don't worry, wait and see for a while.
The next day, Zhao Ji received another letter, which was still signed by Li Shunju, saying that there was no more trouble in the northwest, and Emperor Taizu led the heavenly soldiers and generals to attack the territory of the Western Thieves, as if destroying the withering and decaying momentum, and the Western Thieves had no ability to resist. Everywhere he went, the people welcomed him wholeheartedly, reminding him of the time when he was fortunate enough to accompany Emperor Zhenzong to the city of Lanzhou a few decades ago.
Originally, Zhao Ji was still suspicious, and even a little hesitant, but after reading this letter, his nameless fire rose three feet high.
"Emasculation! I thought I couldn't be deceived! Zhao Ji turned into a master of table cleaning and swept all the folds on the table.
It's no wonder that he doesn't believe it, one day to destroy Western Xia, what kind of ghost story is this?
I'm afraid that the resurrected one is not Taizu, I'm afraid it is too one god.
"The official family is angry, Li Zhiban is not such a Meng Lang person, maybe there is a hidden situation in the northwest, but I don't know." The chamberlain beside him persuaded him with trepidation.
"Secrets, secrets, what can there be secrets!" Zhao Ji said angrily: "Destroy the Western Thief in one day? Even if the thieves are pigs all over the country! He Li Shunju can't catch it in a day! ”
"The slave maid thinks that it is better to find out the truth first, if Emperor Taizu really manifests, the official family will not be prepared at that time, and he will definitely be eaten." The chamberlain did not refute, but reminded Zhao Ji in a soft and slow voice: "The official family, Taizu is Taizu after all, and the official family is still well prepared, don't neglect that one." ”
Zhao Ji took a deep breath, he was not stupid, he knew that what this person said was very reasonable.
Before Xu Xi played, he said that 300,000 western thieves had invaded Yongle City. If Yongle City is besieged, it is not difficult to pass on letters, but it is ...... to pass letters in succession That's going to be quite difficult.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. In case it was really Emperor Taizu's manifestation, because he didn't fulfill the etiquette, it would not be appropriate to eat something.
"Ready...... How do you ask me to prepare? Although Zhao Ji is bored, he can also listen to other people's opinions.
"Isn't that easy? Only the official family only needs to repair a letter to Li Zhiban, saying that the official family respects Emperor Taizu with his fists, and his attitude is sincere, and the slave believes that Emperor Taizu will definitely love the official family. The chamberlain said softly.
"Huh? Hmm......" Zhao Ji thought it was a good idea, but he still had some concerns.
This concern...... It's not very appropriate to talk to the chamberlain.
It's mainly his vein, not the bloodline of Emperor Taizu! That's where his heart is empty.
If it is the direct descendant of Emperor Taizu, then what are you worried about, no longer a person has a bloodline, for the sake of the descendants, he can also leave a dog's life.
But Emperor Taizu's heart ...... Zhao Ji is really not very easy to speculate.
In case Emperor Taizu felt that he was not his bloodline, and asked someone to abolish his throne and let Zhao Defang take over the lineage, how could it be good?
Let's hope not...... Zhao Ji secretly prayed in his heart, and hoped that this was true.
Exchange the throne for a pacification of Western Xia and Liao...... It doesn't seem to be a loss?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji can be said to be wide in an instant. If you can dominate the world, personal honor and disgrace are actually not so important at this moment.
Thinking of this, he happily sent a letter to Li Shunju, describing his thoughts about Emperor Taizu and his admiration for Emperor Taizu.
He also did not forget to send a letter to Li Shunju alone, in which he emphasized his importance to Li Shunju, in short, how to fool him, in order to let Li Shunju give him a few more kind words in front of Emperor Taizu.
Zhao Ji knows very well that like those little people, they may not be able to succeed, but they will definitely be bad.
But he was wrong, Li Shunju was still very loyal to him, an official, and he talked about him in front of Zhao Kuangyin when he had nothing to do.
After receiving Zhao Ji's letter, Li Shunju was grateful to Zhao Ji for his "trust". When handing over the letter to Zhao Kuangyin, he also tried his best to praise Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin was noncommittal, after all, Zhao Kuangyin was a ...... The jury is cast on how it is historically.
Zhao Ji reigned for a total of 18 years, and during his reign, he always insisted on reforming the government. He vigorously supported Wang Anshi's reform, also known as Xifeng's reform. Its enterprising spirit of courage to innovate is prominently manifested in the reform of the official system, which is historically called the "Yuanfeng reform", which has a certain positive effect, but at the same time has historical limitations.
Zhao had the ambition to unify the Liao State and the Western Xia, although he also made certain reforms to the army, but he finally failed to achieve his wish due to poor combat effectiveness and an imperfect military system. In fact, it is not his turn to carry this pot, every emperor has its historical responsibility, and Zhao Kuangyin can't run away.
How did that come about? It's not me who is wrong, it's the world!
Don't say it, don't say it. Although it was said that it could not defeat the Western Xia and Liao, it was still in hand to fight the Song Dynasty in Vietnam. In the ninth year of Xining, the Song army invaded the territory of Jiaozhi, defeated the elephant array of Jiaozhi, the Jiaozhi army broke and fled, and the Song army captured Menzhou. The Song army went straight to the Fuliang River from the mountain path, only thirty miles away from Jiaozhou (that is, Hanoi), Jiaozhi gathered all the ships on the south bank, the Song army could not cross the river, set up an ambush to lure the enemy, and Jiaozhi planned to cross the river to attack. The Song army ambushed the troops, Jiaozhi was defeated, and Prince Hongzhen was killed in battle. On December 21, Li Qiande, the king of Jiaozhi, ceded his land and sued for peace, and Guo Kui, the commander of the Song army, accepted the surrender and returned to the north.
But although Zhao Ji is the backer of the Fa-changing faction, it is a pity that his spirit is not grand enough, his thinking is not profound enough, and his character is not resolute enough. In particular, he wanted to increase fiscal revenue, but he did not want to harm the vested interests of the upper strata, and in the end, the burden could only be passed on to the lower strata of the people, making the burden of the lower strata of the people heavier and heavier.
Overall, Zhao Ji is a decent emperor, and if he scores according to the 100-point system, Zhao Ji's score should be around 50 points.
Don't underestimate these fifty points, although it is a failure, it is more than enough to rank in the top fifty among the emperors of the past dynasties.
After all, there are so many types of people of ape, not even 0 points, all negative points - it's you, Liu Song and Beiqi!
The Wolong and Phoenix Chicks of the Northern and Southern Dynasties belong to yes.
"See, my great-nephew is a little panicked." Zhao Kuangyin, who was sitting in the palace of the Liao Kingdom, smiled and flicked Zhao Ji's letter with his fingers.
As a result, no one answered him at all, Lao Zhao was bored, and looked back at Li Shimin: "I said Lao Li, can there be such pus among your children and grandchildren?" ”
"Nope." Li Shimin's words were concise and to the point.
"Oh, I see." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized: "Your descendants dare to take soldiers to fight with you with real swords and guns, am I right?" ”
Li Shimin: ......
Not to mention, it did happen. I think that when Lao Li went to Li Xiaosan and Li Heng, he was almost taken down by their father and son respectively.
If it weren't for Li Qingzai, I'm afraid it would have caused the first joke.
"Let Zhao Ji send someone to receive the entire territory of Liao," Zhao Kuangyin patted his ass and said to Li Shunju: "You tell that Zhao Ji not to panic, what he did as an emperor is barely a person, I won't do anything to him, this emperor still let him continue to do it." ”
"Next month, I will send someone to intervene in the government, he doesn't have the determination and courage, I will do it for him." Zhao Kuangyin cocked Erlang's legs: "I want to see which courtier has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to go against the will of the court?" ”
"No!" Li Shunju replied excitedly.
Li Shunju is not an ordinary eunuch, he has been in charge of Cao Yun, a general, and a assassin, and he can be regarded as a literate group. For the erosion of the Great Song Dynasty, redundant officials and redundant soldiers, there is also the problem of redundancy, which can be described as a caveat.
The Great Song Dynasty has accumulated disadvantages for a hundred years, and now someone has finally made up his mind to reform, this person is still Taizu, so won't the Great Song Dynasty be saved?
After instructing the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin turned his gaze back to the Liao Imperial Palace.
In the Liao Palace, the current Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji was kneeling on the ground, and he didn't dare to come out.
Standing in front of him was his grandfather, Jerod...... Li Longxu.
According to the generation, this is indeed the case, Li Longxu gave birth to Yelu Zongzhen, and Yelu Zong really gave birth to Yelu Hongji.
I am used to seeing the Han emperor whipping his descendants, and it is the first time I have seen the Khitan people whipping. This rare Western scenery attracted the attention of those present.
If it were someone else, there would be absolutely no such opportunity. But what about the Jerod family...... The main Yelu Longxu is very well-behaved and upright, and the Liao State and the Song Dynasty do not have much deep hatred, so they take the people of the Yelu family to play, and everyone has no opinion.
The most important thing is that you can watch and have fun, which is the reason why everyone accepts Yelu Longxu.
Li Longxu stood aside, Yelu Hongji knelt in front of him, how did he look like when Li Zhi faced Li Shimin.
But Yelu Hongji is even weaker than Li Zhi, after all, he killed his son because of slander.
"I heard that you listened to slander and unjustly killed the prince?" Li Longxu hugged his arms and asked in a cold voice.
"Grandpa Huang, Sun Chen thinks it may be a misunderstanding...... Yelu Hongji drooped his head and tried to defend himself: "After all, I still listened to slander and unjustly killed Jun'er's mother...... They have a deep relationship between mother and son, and Yelu Yixin's dog thief said that Jun'er wants to avenge her mother, so I ...... I'll just ......"
"You're your mother?" Li Longxu carried seven wolves and slapped them in Yelu Hongji's face.
"Good!" Zhao Zhen shouted hello from the side.
In the area of schadenfreude, the people of the old Zhao family are all professional.
It's fun to watch, but you can't see yourself. The main thing is...... Zhao Zhen didn't have a son, so when he saw someone else killing his son, his heart was extremely distorted.
Speaking of Yelu Hongji's queen Xiao Guanyin, she is actually really wronged. In order to usurp power, Yelu Yixin falsely accused Empress Yide Xiao Guanyin of fornicating with the servant Zhao Weiyi, but Yelu Hongji forced the queen to commit suicide without verification, and killed the servant Zhao Weiyi, Gao Changming and others.
Generally speaking, the Song Dynasty that traveled to this era had to have a Jian'an style experience with Xiao Guanyin.
"Uncle Huang, you and I have no grievances or hatreds, why applaud!" Yelu Hongji looked at Zhao Zhen unconvinced.
In terms of seniority, Yelu Hongji's father Yelu Zongzhen and Zhao Zhen are the same generation, so Yelu Hongji wants to call him his uncle.
"I'd love to." Zhao Zhen swallowed melon seeds with a look of watching the play: "That...... Uncle Huang, don't care about me, you beat yours. ”
Li Longxu glanced at Zhao Zhen and wanted to scold him, but he still held back.
