Qian Song

Chapter 380 Li Cun's Way of Comforting Women (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)

...

Although Li Kai became the first prince to be crowned king, and Sheng Xia was named a virtuous concubine as he wished, but after learning that her only son died in battle, Sheng Xia cried to death, and even uttered words such as "Why did you die?" It has to be my son, not someone else's son." Such seemingly vicious words.

Regarding Sheng Xia's "viciousness", Li Cun, who likes kind women, did not blame Sheng Xia at all this time.

On the contrary, Li Cun, who felt somewhat empathetic, still understood Midsummer.

If my son can really come back to life, I will be vicious, so what? !

The key point is that Li Cun has many sons and daughters. To be honest, Li Kai is really not bad, but Sheng Xia only has such a son as Li Kai.

Just looking at how excellent and outstanding Li Kai was trained by Sheng Xia, it's not hard to imagine how much effort Sheng Xia put into Li Kai's education.

And the reason why Li Kai tried his best to express himself was not to fight for Midsummer's breath and to help Shengxia win favor.

From this, it is not difficult to see how deep the relationship between Sheng Xia and Li Kai's mother and son is.

Let's put it this way, for Shengxia, Li Cun's husband belongs to more than 1 women, while Li Kai's son belongs to Shengxia himself, and Li Cun's husband, because he has too many women Well, Sheng Xia really can't count on it, and Li Kai's son is likely to be Sheng Xia's all hope for the rest of his life.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Kaiying's early death almost cost Midsummer half his life.

It can even be said that losing Li Kai's Midsummer, even lost the hope of living.

Under such circumstances, Sheng Xia could rationally say "Why is my son and not someone else's son" instead of fighting desperately with Li Cun, the "culprit", which is already very valuable.

To put it bluntly, if Sheng Xia hanged herself with a white silk and accused Li Cun of "killing" her son, Li Cun would have to bear it.

To be honest, Li Cun has even made such mental preparations.

Fortunately-

Sheng Xia just kept crying and saying something to vent. Although she was also very broken, she still maintained the last sliver of reason.

Seeing this, Li Cun was both distressed and relieved, and he couldn't help thinking: "A woman with a scheming heart sometimes has the advantage of being scheming."

In fact, Li Cun's heart is like a bright mirror. Sheng Xia is really heartbroken, but Sheng Xia knows very well in her heart that the deal is done. No matter how much trouble she makes, it will be useless. In this case, she should try her best to control herself and try not to Let her show the side that Li Cun hates, try to be rational, and try to take into account the overall situation, in order to get more benefits.

Such a midsummer seemed a little unacceptable. After the death of his only son, how could Shengxia still think like this?
But then again, if you think about it calmly, you have to admit that this is actually the most beneficial thing for Sheng Xia, otherwise, half of the offspring will not only die alone when they lose their only son, but may die at a young age. If you die because you are immersed in pain and cannot extricate yourself, then misfortunes never come singly.

Even though Li Cun had seen through Sheng Xia's mind, Li Cun did not point it out. On the contrary, Li Cun followed Sheng Xia's mind to accompany her and comfort her in the palace.

In order to comfort Sheng Xia, Li Cun rested in Sheng Xia's palace for a month.

To be honest, at first Li Cunzhen just wanted to comfort Midsummer, who was suffering from the pain of bereavement, and find some balance for Midsummer.

Li Cun even planned to abstain from sexual intercourse for a few days, as a memorial to Li Kai, his son who died young.

But Li Cun really overestimated himself.

Without a woman, Li Cun really couldn't sleep.

Moreover, in the middle of the night, Sheng Xia, who shared the bed with Li Cun, was still secretly wiping away tears.

Li Cun, who was upset because he couldn't sleep, became even more upset when he heard Sheng Xia's sobbing.

So, Li Cun stopped pretending, and directly took off Sheng Xia's clothes, and at the same time said to Sheng Xia: "Don't cry, I will give you another son!"

This is Li Cun's way of comforting women.

A month later, Sheng Xia became pregnant smoothly.

Not only Shengxia, but Shengqiu and Shenglan also got pregnant smoothly.

Even the two maids in the Midsummer Palace were lucky enough to get pregnant.

It's a pity that Sheng Xia's second child gave birth to a daughter.

After Shengxia finished her confinement, she often carried her daughter around Li Cun, reminding Li Cun, you said you gave me a son, this is a daughter, it doesn't count.

Li Cun had no choice but to go to Shengxia's palace again and again until Shengxia gave birth to his son.

Of course, this is a story.

Three days later, Zhang Jun sent his "son" Tian Shizhong to escort Li Kai's body to Jinling City in Nanjing by water.

At the same time, Tian Shizhong also brought an apology memorial to Li Cun jointly written by Yue Fei and Zhang Jun.

In this pleading memorial, it is written in detail that it was Li Kai who took the initiative to invite Ying to lead the death squad to capture the city and directly commanded Niu Gao in that battle, so he approved Li Kai to lead the death squad. No one else knew that Li Kai was the prince, and no one stopped Li Kai, and no one sent someone to protect Li Kai, which led to Li Kai dying for the country.

Li Cun could see that Zhang Jun tried his best to help Yue Fei and Niu Gao offend, but he still unavoidably picked himself out first, and shifted the responsibility to Yue Fei, who knew and kept silent, and directly agreed with Li Kai to commit the crime. On the dangerous Niu Gao.

Li Cun casually glanced at the memorial written by Zhang Jun but named Yue Fei and Zhang Jun, threw the memorial aside, and then asked Tian Shizhong about the details of the battle in Xinglin Fort.

Tian Shizhong, who finally got a chance to face the saint, hurriedly told Li Cun the whole process of the battle in detail.

In fact, Li Cun already knew what happened in Xinglin Castle.

Not only that, Li Cun even knew about the victories of Xingcheng and Huludao.

Asking Tian Shizhong, Li Cun just wanted to draw out what he wanted to say.

After Tian Shizhong explained in detail how Yue Fei won the Xinglin Fort battle, Li Cun commented: "The layout is far-reaching, the action is decisive, and the tactics are reasonable and effective. Yue Pengju lived up to my high expectations. .”

As soon as Li Cun said this, everyone knew that Yue Fei, including Niu Gao under Yue Fei, must have escaped this catastrophe, at least temporarily.

General Lu suggested: "The Jin people have repeatedly violated our frontiers. It is tolerable and unbearable. They have worked hard for me to achieve long-term stability. The officials have no choice but to cut them down. The King of Jin is worthy of the official prince. He fought the enemy bravely. Unfortunately, he sacrificed his life for the country. Loyalty and filial piety. , it should be reported to the world, and the Propaganda Department should be ordered to handle it, and the Ministry of Rites should also be ordered to hold a funeral for King Jin to make it known to the world."

General Lu obviously wanted to turn a bad thing into a good thing, and let the world know that Li Cun not only sent the sons of the people to the battlefield, but also sent one of his own sons to the battlefield, and died in the battle.At the same time, once again, the necessity and correctness of the gold cutting was publicized, so that the world would sincerely support Li Cun's gold cutting, and not be dissatisfied with Li Cun's start of the war again.

In other words, in fact, even if the people complain about Li Cun starting the war again, it will not affect Li Cun's rule.

Do you know why?

Today, the productivity of the Dagan Dynasty has increased by more than ten times that of the already wealthy Zhao and Song Dynasty.

The key point is that the Dagan Dynasty has basically put an end to the situation where the land is concentrated in the hands of a few people and the cultivators have no land. In other words, the Dagan Dynasty has basically eliminated the landlord class, but actually handed over the land to the farmers hand.

In addition, the Dagan Dynasty vigorously developed agriculture.

This made it possible that in the Daqian Dynasty, almost everyone could have enough to eat, and everyone could wear warm clothes, and as long as they were not lazy, there would be surplus.

The population explosion of the Dagan Dynasty is the best proof.

In addition, the Dagan Dynasty strongly encouraged trade and the transportation was convenient, so that after the people had spare money, they could buy daily necessities, seasonal fruits and vegetables, fresh seafood, and even food from all over the world. Luxury items in various regions.

Food and clothing are abundant, people are well-off, and they live and work in peace and contentment.

Compared with the Zhao and Song Dynasties, not to mention that the people of the Daqian Dynasty lived in heaven, it was almost the same.

Under such circumstances, the people of the world are of course willing to let Li Cun rule.

What's more, Li Cun has let the people of the world recuperate for many years, so he is considerate of the people.

Therefore, even though the people of the Dagan Dynasty were unwilling to see another war in the Dagan Dynasty, they would never resent Li Cun for launching a war, especially when the propaganda was good.

Speaking of it, it may be due to the influence of later generations that Li Cun has always paid attention to publicity, especially after the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty.

For better publicity, Li Cun even specially established a Propaganda Department, which was called the Twelve Departments together with the traditional Six Departments and the emerging Ministry of Agriculture, Commerce, Communications, Customs, and Railways.

——The Ministry of Propaganda, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Customs, and the Ministry of Railways are also known as the New Six Ministries.

Leaving aside the other departments, the Propaganda Department actually played a very important role in Li Cun's campaign and governance.

Now that money is at war, Li Cun certainly hopes that the Propaganda Department will continue to give correct guidance.

General Lv had been Li Cun's prime minister for fifteen or six years, so of course he could guess what Li Cun was thinking, so he just made suggestions that Li Cun wanted to hear at the right time.

But Li Cun followed the trend.

Next, news of the great victories of Xingcheng and Huludao came one after another.

In order to boost the morale of the front line, Li Cun granted Yue Fei Shaobao, and other soldiers who made meritorious deeds were rewarded, including Niu Gao who sent Li Kai to the battlefield.

It is worth mentioning that in order to dispel the doubts of Yue Fei and other front-line fighters, so that Yue Fei and other front-line fighters can fight wholeheartedly, and let Yue Fei wholeheartedly help Li Cun train Li Biao and Li Cun's sons, Li Cun returned Yue Fei bestowed the Daqian Dynasty's only Iron Coupon of the Danshu.

The so-called iron certificate of Danshu refers to a privilege certificate awarded by the emperor to the heroes and important ministers, also known as "Tieqi of Danshu", which is also the "death-free card" and "death-free gold medal" in folk narratives. .

Knowing that Li Cun had given Yue Fei Danshu iron certificates, which can greatly demonstrate the status of his officials, many ministers rushed to persuade Li Cun to take back his orders, and hinted to Li Cun that Li Cun had already appointed Yue Fei as the Generalissimo of the King's Army. Almost half of the soldiers and horses of the Dagan Dynasty were handed over to Yue Fei, and now Yue Fei is given iron coupons of the Danshu, which is really unsafe.

It can be said that these ministers who persuaded Li Cun to take back his orders were short of telling Li Cun to prevent Yue Fei from supporting himself, and even prevent Yue Fei from raising his army to rebel.

In this regard, Li Cun smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Yue Pengju is more than enough to be a general. As a king, he must not have the heart and strength to do so."

Yue Fei is a son of a peasant family in Henan. He is a proper eight-generation poor peasant. He was not able to go to school when he was a child. Under the teaching of his father Yue He, he probably could only reach the level of a literacy class.

After growing up, Yue Fei got married at the age of 13 and gave birth to Yue Yun at the age of 14. Early on, he was full of the crisis of "there are old people and young children".

The family had no money and didn't study much. Apart from serving as a soldier and farming, Yue Fei had no other way out.

Fortunately, Yue Fei was lucky enough to meet Li Cun, a bole, just when he was preparing to serve in the army.

Under Li Cun's vigorous promotion, Yue Fei has made great progress in his official career, and at the age of only 33, he has already controlled nearly half of the soldiers and horses of the Daqian Dynasty.

Based on Li Cun's relentless kindness to know and meet, Yue Fei should actually serve the country with all his loyalty, and he should spare no effort to be loyal to Li Cun and the Daqian Dynasty.

Of course, in Li Cun's current position, he would definitely not believe anyone's professed loyalty, including Yue Fei who was impossible to rebel.

The reason why Li Cun is so confident that Yue Fei will never rebel is mainly because Li Cun has great confidence in the military supervision system he established by himself.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there is an army supervision system that has penetrated into the bones of the Qianjun, the Qianjun will never be out of Li Cun's control, no matter who controls the Qianjun.

What's more, Yue Fei is upright and upright, his rule is strict, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and he doesn't care about human feelings.

Let's put it this way, when Yue Fei's son Yue Yun was 12 years old, he was almost killed by Yue Fei just because he fell off his horse during training.

Such Yue Fei, no, to be precise, such a person must be a good general, but absolutely no one would be willing to rebel against such a person.

You must know that when you are an emperor, you must not be rigid and ignorant of flexibility, you must know how to win people's hearts, and you must be pragmatic and not idealized.

In addition, being an emperor also needs to make others unable to understand their own character, their own city, and their own thinking.

To be honest, Yue Fei didn't have any of these qualities.

Such a Yue Fei, even being a warlord struggled, how could he rebel?

And make Yue Fei a general?
Then Li Cunke was too relieved.

Although the Zhao and Song Dynasties in history were defeated again and again on the big battlefields where they fought against the Liao and Jin Dynasties, they basically never lost in the local battlefields dominated by Yue Fei.

Otherwise, why would Yue Fei, a peasant boy with no roots, ascend to a high position in history?
Therefore, even if the aura of "national hero" is thrown away, Yue Fei's ability is beyond doubt.

What's even more rare is that Yue Fei's ability is not only reflected in his being a general, but also in his being a strategist who really understands the layout.

Historically, the Northern Expedition planned by Yue Fei was more than just shouting slogans. He listed detailed action steps in "Begging the Master Zhazi".

If you watch it carefully, you will know that it is a very feasible battle plan.

(Interested friends will find it by themselves. Considering that some people may say the author's water characters, I won't take up more pen and ink.)
What's even more rare is that Yue Fei not only planned every step of the operation, but also took into account various emergencies and countermeasures. In addition, he had a united front, contacted the rebels behind the enemy, and so on.

From the battle plan, it is not difficult to see that Yue Fei's vision as a strategist is undoubtedly revealed.

By the year [-] in history, all the preparations in Yue Fei's plan had been completed, and the Yue Family Army had also been rectified for many years, and its strength was very strong.

For the Northern Expedition, Yue Fei was determined to win.

At the same time, most of the soldiers in the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty were from the north. They had a deep hatred for the Jin State, and they always wanted to fight back to their hometown and restore the former Zhao Song Dynasty.

But Yue Fei was ready and thought about everything, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gou, who had a chance to recover the country, had a blood feud with the Jin people, but he wanted to make peace, he didn't want to fight anymore, he just wanted to live in peace and happiness .

Liu Kai has defeated the Jin army in Shunchang.

The Shaanxi battlefield also confronted the Jin army in Guanzhong, and the two sides refused to give in to each other.

Jin Wushu had to return to Kaifeng.

At that time, the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty had already taken the initiative. As long as it concentrated its forces and went northward for a decisive battle, it was not that there was no chance of regaining the Central Plains.

Just as Yue Fei was about to officially launch the plan for the Northern Expedition, Zhao Gou's edict arrived.

Zhao Gou sent Si Nong Shaoqing Li Ruoxu to Yue Fei's barracks, and read out the imperial edict: "Soldiers should not move lightly, and it is appropriate to be a class teacher."

Such a good situation, Yue Fei was really reluctant to give up.

Fortunately, the person who came to pass the edict was Li Ruoxu, who was also a main fighter, and he didn't want the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to recover the lost land.

So Yue Fei raised his troops to go north, and Li Ruoxu returned to the court to bear the charge of coercion.

In a short period of time, after Yue Fei successfully conquered Caizhou, Yingchang, and Chenzhou, he regained Luoyang.

At the same time, after many years of united front with the northern rebels, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun and other rebel leaders also organized militias to harass behind enemy lines north of the Yellow River.

Together they form a shape that surrounds Kaifeng on six sides.

And Han Shizhong has already hit Lianyungang, Zhang Jun marched into Bozhou... All the generals of the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty advanced northward.

On the other hand, the war faction and the peace faction within the Kingdom of Jin fought to the point of bloody cleansing. The two factions adopted dominant policies to carry out internal power struggles, coups and murders at every turn. The chaos was in a mess and the combat effectiveness seriously declined.

The situation at that time was that as long as Yue Fei defeated Kaifeng's Jin Wushu, the Kingdom of Jin would no longer have any troops to fight, and ZTE's great cause could be achieved.

But Zhao Gou's edict came again, ordering Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Liu Qi to withdraw their troops, so Yue Fei became a lone army.

During the Battle of Yingchang, Yue Yun, who was just 20 years old, led the Beiwei army and defeated the Jin army.

General Han Chang of the Jin Army sent someone to ask for surrender.

Yue Fei had reached Zhuxian Town, as long as he persisted for a while, Yue Fei would be able to fight Jin Wushu decisively.

If he defeats Jin Wushu, it may be bragging to go straight to Huanglong, but it is feasible for Yue Fei to regain the hometown of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

But what Yue Fei waited for was not reinforcements, but twelve gold medals.

Li Cun is not Zhao Gou, he will not drag Yue Fei back when Yue Fei is desperately on the front line, and he will not do stupid things like abolishing his martial arts and making people scold him for thousands of years.

Therefore, Li Cun dismissed all the criticisms against Yue Fei, and removed all the shackles and burdens on Yue Fei with an iron book of pills, so that Yue Fei can go into battle lightly, and go all out for Li Cunqian to overthrow the Kingdom of Jin...
