Zhao Yan can be regarded as a capable person, when Gaozong Zhao used 20 beautiful virgins and female candidates. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoZhao Yan can hold back and not fire at the age of blood and strength, which shows his will. I didn't expect to be scared like this by Li Zhan at this time, and I couldn't even resist at all.

Zhao Yan stood up with his chair on his hand, and began to feel unprecedented frustration in his heart, he was too depressed as an emperor. was pressed by Zhao Gou above, and Zhao Chun, the prince below, was disobedient, and he didn't even have any prestige at home. Therefore, Zhao Yan always wants to make some political achievements to improve his prestige.

But even if this is a hindrance from the left and right, Zhao Gou is opposed, and the hundred officials below also feel that peace is not easy to come by, and war should not be started. If the Great Song Dynasty is rich, it should help the poor people in other countries. "Aren't those money earned by the people of the Great Song Dynasty through blood and sweat?

Zhao Yan sometimes goes online, and every time Da Song comes to the aid of other countries, netizens are excited, and anyone can see this, but what can he say? This is not something he can decide at all, he can only act as if he didn't see it, and continue to send money to foreign countries with a smile on his face.

"Hey, if it goes on like this, sooner or later, my Great Song Kingdom will collapse from within. Zhao Yan looked at the dragon chair that Li Zhan had sat on just now, and suddenly gritted his teeth, and he had a decision to cut the flesh in his heart. "Break and stand, maybe this Li Zhan can let my Great Song Kingdom dominate the Central Plains again!"

Zhao Yan already has the intention of abdicating, but he is ready to do a final madness before he abdicates, Bo loses only late in the future, and if Bo wins, then the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to stand for a thousand years. Zhao Yan, who had been in a daze for many years, finally had his heart beating faster and regained the fighting spirit of his youth, which was blood burning!

Zhao Yan soon asked people to summon hundreds of civil and military officials to the court, and he was afraid that if this matter dragged on for a long time, he would lose his fighting spirit.

==============

"Your Majesty! You can't agree to this! China, there has never been a precedent for this!"

Zhao Yan snorted coldly and said: "There is a precedent for ceding land to the Manchu Tartars, and ceding land to the Xiongnu?"

"But that's different, that's because we lost the war and had to compromise! This time there is only one person in this Li Zhan, and he is also our Great Song Zimin, he doesn't want to repay the country, and he also wants to split our country, I don't think this matter can be agreed to in any case, once we agree, then our country will be ruined, as long as we have money, we can buy a piece of land and build a country by ourselves, so what prestige does our court have at all?"

The whole court was noisy, but there were some objections. Zhao Yan knew that this was the result again, but this time he had made up his mind to promote this matter, even if it was to abdicate. Therefore, he ignored everyone's objections, and instead ordered Zhang Jun, who was standing quietly aside, to come out of the ranks.

Zhang Jun has always respected his own decisions, Zhao Yan has already regarded him as his own, and at this time, the entire court is opposed, Zhao Yan urgently needs to find a breakthrough, and Zhang Jun has become his first choice. Originally, he was going to let his mentor Shi Hao speak for himself, but seeing that Shi Hao was the first to object, Zhao Yan had to find a breakthrough again.

Zhang Jun knew what Zhao Yan meant, and he also knew Li Zhan's ability, but this Zhao Yan had always been the main battle, and he was going to cut the land at this time, which made Zhang Jun a little embarrassed. If this suggestion is not said well, not only will Zhao Yan be unsafe, but he Zhang Jun may also become a sinner through the ages. Therefore, Zhang Jun thought for a long time before he stood up and said: "The old minister has a suggestion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "Zhang Aiqing, just say it and let everyone discuss it!"

Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we have one country, two governance?"

Zhao Yan asked, "What is one country, two governance?"

"One country, two governance, as the name suggests, is one country, two courts. As soon as Zhang Jun finished speaking, his objection suddenly rose.

"How can a country have two imperial courts?

"That's right? If there can be two imperial courts, is there still two emperors? Prime Minister Zhang, are you questioning the emperor's authority?"

Zhao Yan's face was suddenly a little ugly, this country and two rules can be more humiliating than his land and country. However, he still signaled everyone to be quiet and said, "Let Zhang Aiqing continue to finish." ”

Zhang Jun saw that Zhao Yan was already angry, and nine out of ten civil and military officials were also opposed, but as soon as Zhang Jun's words came out, he couldn't take it back, and he faintly felt in his heart that this might be able to make the Great Song Dynasty rise again. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and continued: "Let me tell you a story about the wolf and the sheep. ”

"Zhang Aiqing, please speak!"

With Zhao Yan's permission, Zhang Jun began to tell the story that his granddaughter Zhang Zi told him:

The story goes like this:

A long, long time ago, there was an immortal who put two flocks of sheep on the grassland, one in the south and one in the north. The immortals also found two kinds of natural predators for the sheep, one was a tiger and the other was a wolf.

The fairy said to the sheep, "If you want a wolf, give it to you and let it bite you as it pleases." If you want a tiger, give it two, you can choose one of the two tigers, and you can change it at any time. "The sheep in the south thought that the tiger was much more ferocious than the wolf, and that the wolf should be the same. So, they asked for a wolf. The sheep in the north thought that although the tiger is much more ferocious than the wolf, we have a choice, so we still want the tiger. So, they asked for two tigers.

When the wolf had entered the flock to the south, he began to eat the sheep. The wolf has a small body and eats a small amount, and a sheep is enough for it to eat for a few days. In this way, the sheep are hunted down only once in a few days. The sheep to the north chose a tiger, and the other remained with the immortals. When the tiger entered the flock, it also began to eat the sheep. Tigers are not only more ferocious than wolves, but they also eat an astonishing amount of food, eating a sheep every day. So the flock will be hunted down every day, and they will be terrified. The sheep hurriedly asked the immortal to change for a tiger. Unexpectedly, the tiger kept by the immortals had not eaten, and was so hungry that it threw itself into the flock and bit more frantically than the tiger in front of it. The sheep are just fleeing for their lives all day long, and they can't even eat grass.

The sheep in the south were glad that they had chosen the right predator, and laughed at the sheep in the north for not having a vision. The sheep in the north regretted it very much, and poured bitter water on the immortals, demanding that the natural predators be replaced by a wolf. The immortal said: "Once the natural enemy is determined, it cannot be changed, it must be followed from generation to generation, and your only right is to choose between the two tigers." ”

The sheep in the north had to change the two tigers constantly. But the two tigers were equally ferocious, and either one was much more miserable than the sheep in the south, so they simply did not change it, so that one tiger was fat and strong, and the other tiger was hungry and thin. Seeing that the thin tiger was about to starve to death, the sheep asked the immortal to change it.

After a long period of starvation, this thin tiger slowly realized a truth: although he is fierce and abnormal, a hundred sheep are not opponents, but his fate is in the hands of the sheep. The sheep can return themselves to the immortals at any time, leaving themselves to suffer from hunger, and possibly even starvation. After figuring out this truth, the thin tiger was very polite to the sheep, eating only dead and sick sheep, and not eating any healthy sheep. The sheep were overjoyed, and a few of the lambs suggested that they should simply fix the skinny tiger instead of the fat tiger. An old sheep reminded: "The skinny tiger is so kind to us because he is afraid that we will send it back to the immortals and starve." In the unlikely event that the fat tiger starves to death, we have no choice, and the skinny tiger will soon regain its ferocious nature. The sheep felt that the old sheep was right, and in order to prevent the other tiger from starving to death, they quickly replaced it.

The tiger, which was fat and strong, was so hungry that he was only left with skin and bones, and he also understood that his fate was in the hands of the sheep. In order to stay on the grassland for a long time, it did everything possible to please the sheep. And the tiger, which was handed over to the immortals, was so sad that he shed tears.

The sheep in the north have finally lived a free life after many hardships. The situation of the sheep in the south is becoming more and more miserable, because the wolf has no competitors, and the sheep cannot replace it, so it does nonsense, and kills dozens of sheep every day, and this wolf has long stopped eating mutton, and it only drinks the blood of the sheep's heart. It also forbids the sheep to crow, and immediately kills whichever one crows. The sheep in the south could only lament in their hearts: "If I had known this, I might as well have two tigers." ”

After the story was told, the court was suddenly a little quiet, none of the officials who could go to the court were stupid, they all knew the metaphors in Zhang Jun's story, but they didn't know what Zhao Yan would think of this, whether he would be angry and directly dismiss Zhang Jun's officials. After all, who would want to be a tiger whose fate is pinched in the hands of the flock.

Zhang Jun was also in a cold sweat, for fear that Zhao Yan would not be able to figure it out for a while and would directly click on himself.

However, after listening to the story, Zhao Yan didn't mean to blame at all, but quietly thought about something.

Zhao Yan is a kind-hearted person, he governs the country with filial piety, respects the elders, and loves the people, otherwise he would not be tired because he has been helping other countries. It is precisely because he puts the people first that he cannot see that the money earned by the people has become funds for the development of armaments in other countries. At this time, when he heard a suggestion that could benefit the people, Zhao Yan was a little moved. But he didn't dare to make such a decision, because if this decision was made easily, he would inevitably become a sinner of the royal family.

Zhao Yan thought about it again and again, and only after a long time did he sigh and said: "Zhang Aiqing really loves the people like a son, but this matter is very important, and it cannot be rashly executed." As you tell in your story, two tigers eat several times as much as a wolf. If the two tigers saw through the flock and would not allow either of them to die, then the so-called choice would be meaningless. On the other hand, if the wolf is not brutal, then with his appetite, the wolf in the south will definitely live happier than the north. Zhang Aiqing thinks what I said makes sense?"

"The emperor is reasonable, but the old minister is not thoughtful, and the old minister is guilty. Zhang Jun was full of passion when he said it, expecting to make some political achievements, but after saying it, he also regretted it, after all, he was talking to wolves and tigers about how to save sheep, which was too funny.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan waved his hand and said: "Our court is a place to put forward opinions, Zhang Aiqing is guilty, please join the list first." After Zhang Jun returned to his position tremblingly, Zhao Yan continued: "Zhang Aiqing's suggestion is too radical, the emperor will not agree, but I have a compromise method." ”

The civil and military officials hurriedly responded in unison: "The ministers are listening." ”
