Chapter Ninety-Eight: Retreat as Advance
Jiang Yu smiled.
Although he has an extraordinary destiny and British wealth, he is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man after all, his heart is far from mature, and he naturally likes to listen to praise and praise.
Xin Qijian observed his words and looks, knowing that as soon as he wore this high hat, Jiang Yu was already a little forgetful, and struck while the iron was hot, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you are a rare young hero in the world, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even more wise, extremely wise, ambitious, and magnificent, why don't you want to stay and help His Royal Highness the Prince, conspire with great things, work together for righteousness, seek peace for the world, and seek well-being for the people?"
Jiang Yu listened to his words and turned around, and said that he wanted to stay, he said everything he needed to say just now, and he thought that Xin Qiji had heard it outside the hall just now, and he said it now, and let himself say something?
Jiang Yu took a step back, looked around at everyone, his face was pale, and said in a deep voice: "The kid is young and ignorant, he doesn't read much, he has little experience, I don't know a lot of things, many people, I don't understand, I have a lot of confusion and mystery in my heart, like a fish in my throat, I don't know if I can vomit it quickly?"
The prince nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The young man has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
Jiang Yu glanced at the three of them, and finally looked at the prince with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are bent on restoring the rivers and mountains, reviving the Great Song Dynasty, dominating the world, raising peace in the four seas, and ensuring peace in the country and the people, then why did you delay sending troops to the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains, but still negotiate peace with the Jin people? You are bent on restoring the rivers and mountains, and the Great Song Dynasty, why did I come to Jiangnan, and what I saw and heard was not to lie down and taste courage and make great efforts, but to be prosperous, drunk and gold-obsessed, drunk and dreaming of death? All these things made me very disappointed and puzzled. ”
The prince's eyes flashed, and he was silent.
The county lord of Qingning's eyes flashed, and he looked at the river fish fixedly.
Xin Qi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, it turns out that you are discouraged and unmotivated because of this, yes or no?"
Jiang Yu said in a deep voice: "I have heard and witnessed, it is all such a luxurious and decadent phenomenon, in this case, I can't do anything, I just want to leave, wander the world, I do my own thing, I go my way, do whatever I want, be at peace with what I encounter, fall a clean ear, and be happy." ”
The prince laughed and said loudly: "Okay, this palace understands, it turns out that the young man is because of this, then the palace is relieved, it means that the palace is not wrong, the young man is really chivalrous and brave, and he is a hot-blooded boy!"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment and looked at the prince fixedly.
The prince took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "The young man is smart, he should understand what it means to lie down and taste courage, endure humiliation, and what it means to retreat and advance, and be ready to go." ”
Jiang Yu's heart sank, looked at the prince, and waited for him to continue.
The prince said in a deep voice: "This palace has always been the main battle, advocating being tough on Jin, but my father is old, and he is bent on seeking stability and fearing chaos, not only afraid of chaos, but also afraid of change. And the national thief Qin Hui, in a phase, does not think about the country and the people, but is bent on currying favor with my father and the emperor, in order to keep his personal power, he has formed a wide range of party members, dictatorship and disorderly government, and harmed the country and the people. As the prince of the East Palace, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, the palace gathered a group of loyal and generous people around him, and Qin Hui fought against each other, so that the court was divided into two factions, and my father was in the middle and the mud, in order to balance the government and government. This is the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty, and the palace cannot be influenced. ”
Jiang Yu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince's teachings, I understand it in the Prince, but who proposed this and the Jin Discussion of Peace, why did it happen, and why did Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince also agree with this matter, do not object, do not obstruct it?"
The crown prince nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Good question! I can't hide it, this proposal for peace was advocated by Qin Hui, and the palace did not object, but the palace proposed to send Yu Yunwen as the minister of peace to negotiate with the Jin people." The palace has a sixteen-character explanation for him: do not lose the national body, do not lose the national character, do not give an inch, do not let an inch profit!"
Jiang Yu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Then His Royal Highness the Prince's intention is to negotiate with the Jin people, maintain the status quo, confront each other across the river, row the river and rule, and take a corner of Gou'an, yes or no? What is this, how is it different from surrender?"
Xin Qiji saw that Jiang Yu was so aggressive towards the prince, and there was a question and condemnation in his words, and his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be rude to His Royal Highness the Prince!" and hurriedly said to the prince: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this brother Weichen is young and ignorant, and his words are unscrupulous, and he collided with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins." ”
The prince's face did not change, and he smiled: "It's okay, the young man is straightforward and fast-talking, he thinks and talks a lot, it's very good, this palace likes such a good man who goes straight to the point." ”
The prince looked at Jiang Yu and said in a deep voice: "Shaoxia, in your opinion, at present, the Great Song Dynasty and Dajin, who is stronger in the country and more profitable in the military revolution, if the two countries go to war at this time, what will be the number of victories and defeats?"
Jiang Yu's heart was shocked, he was silent for a long time, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "At this time, the two countries are at war, and the Great Song Dynasty has no chance of winning. ”
The prince's face was solemn, he nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, starting a war at this time is tantamount to suicide, this is the reason why this palace agreed to negotiate peace, in order to gain time, Taoguang and obscurity, cultivate people's livelihood, accumulate national strength, and wait until the time is ripe, send troops to the Northern Expedition, recover the Central Plains in one fell swoop, destroy the barbarians of the Jin Kingdom, restore my Great Song Dynasty, dominate the world, and the four seas will be peaceful!"
Jiang Yu's heart was hot, and he couldn't take his eyes off the prince and looked at the prince intently.
Xin Qiji said in a deep voice: "Brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has endured humiliation and hardship, and now you should understand?"
Jiang Yu nodded, and said hatefully: "I hate Qin Hui, that dog traitor, today I should really fight for this life and kill this dog and animal that has brought disaster to the country and the people!"
He was angry for a while, and he said unintentionally, but he didn't expect this sentence to be lost.
When the prince and the other three heard this, their faces changed, they glanced at each other, and looked at the river fish together.
The county lord of Qingning stared at Jiang Yu tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, on Lin'an Street today, Qin Hui was assassinated, did you do it?"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had lost his words for a while, but there was no need to hide it at this time, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I am at the scene, but I am not an assassin." ”
The prince's eyes flashed, Xin Qiji was stunned, and said hurriedly: "Brother, what are you talking about, you are at the scene, but you are not an assassin?"
Jiang Yu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I just happened to bump into it, I'm really not an assassin......"
The county lord of Qingning smiled, glared at Jiang Yu, and snorted: "Okay, don't pretend, you happen to meet every time, just in time, you have said it several times tonight, can you please say something fresh?"
