The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 423
Song Huizong's complexion became more and more bad, not because he had a physical problem, but because he was annoyed.In fact, he knew that everyone would oppose the alliance with the Jin Kingdom to resist the Liao Kingdom, and what everyone said was not what he was worried about, but his wish was to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

Recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun is not only his wish, but also the wish of the emperors of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the last wish of the emperor Taizu.Even though Emperor Taizong failed to attack the Liao Kingdom and almost lost his life, he still had a lot of helplessness in his heart.

Now there is a golden opportunity in front of him, how could Song Huizong miss it.Even at the risk, so what.Everything is a combination of risks and opportunities, it just depends on how to control it.If it was the Song Dynasty in the past, perhaps just like the voices of opposition, it was really a problem of breeding tigers.

The current Great Song is no longer the former Great Song, and he is not the incompetent Song Huizong.Since there is an opportunity, you have to seize the opportunity.If you miss it, you will never come again. Even if Song Dynasty does not form an alliance with Jin, then Jin will definitely form an alliance with other countries.

At that time, the situation was even more unfavorable, so why not take advantage of this opportunity and beat the dog in the water.Liao and Jin were fighting each other, and even if the Song Dynasty formed an alliance, it was only a contribution. At that time, it was still possible to take back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

How could Song Huizong not know what everyone was worried about? Taking into account many factors, he knew that the chance was only half, and even if it was only half, he had to do his best to make the chance of recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun even bigger, and he would never miss it .

Go ahead to dangers!

Zhao Ji gambled again, and he gambled with Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty.If he wins, his wish will be fulfilled, and he will be able to face his ancestors even if he dies; if he loses, then he will bear all the sins and become the emperor spurned by future generations.

In order to fulfill her last wish, even if it is to be smashed to pieces!

At the beginning, Zhao Gou, like Zheng Juzhong and others, also opposed this.Even after knowing more about the inside story, I still feel uneasy.In his view, it is better for the two not to help each other and reap the benefits of the fisherman.Because the Liao Kingdom is weak, it is still enough for the Jin Kingdom to drink a pot.

Afterwards, Zhao Gou thought about it carefully, and finally realized that Song Huizong was betting again.Since it is an extraordinary time, then do extraordinary things. Zhao Gou understands and understands, then he will do according to Zhao Ji's meaning, and then fulfill his wish. This is also his expectation, and the two coincide.

"My lords, what you said is wrong!" In the quiet hall, Zhao Gou's voice was like a loud bell, deafening.Everyone couldn't help looking at Zhao Gou, only to see him continue to say: "I have something to ask Mr. Zheng and all your lords!"

"His Royal Highness, please tell me!" Zheng Juzhong was taken aback, and quickly replied.

Zhao Gou said: "May I ask if Mr. Zheng has been there?"

"Never!" Zheng Juzhong shook his head and replied, thinking: "Why does the king ask this?"

"Then have you ever heard the phrase 'know yourself and know your enemy'?" Zhao Gou asked again.

"Of course I have heard of it!" Zheng Juzhong has read extensively, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, astronomy and geography, he also has military books.Even if he has never been to the battlefield, he still reads some, this is because of the hobby of scholars.Otherwise, how can there be the saying "talking about war on paper".

Zhao Gou nodded, and said, "What Master Zheng said before, Emperor Taizong was defeated in the battle against the Liao Kingdom, and there was a Chanyuan alliance. Then, Master Zheng, you know this sentence, and you should understand the meaning of this sentence. Don't Master Zheng think that The national power of the Song Dynasty is weaker than that of Liao?"

"Maybe Mr. Zheng has forgotten that Emperor Taizong has been separated from the present for a hundred years. In the past hundred years, the Great Song Dynasty has developed rapidly. However, the Liao Kingdom has been weakened, and it has been defeated. In Qingming, there will be no more people who take bribes and use power for personal gain. Even if there are some, so what, the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty can no longer be shaken."

"Da Song competes with Liao, and there is no need to worry about the future! Moreover, how do Liao and Jin know what happened in Da Song in recent years? If they know what happened in Da Song, they can only say that Da Song has betrayed the country. Seeking glory!"

"If the current peace and tranquility is true, then what Mr. Zheng said before is really ridiculous. If Mr. Zheng is rude, you might as well go to the border to see how the people there are." Nearly worry, live in sorrow and die in peace!'”

"If the lords in the court and Mr. Zheng think that they are content with the present peace and don't be prepared for danger in times of peace, I am afraid that Song Dynasty is really in danger. What should we do? Could it be that we waited until then to resist and cause losses? Who is responsible? Master Zheng, are you willing to take on this responsibility!"

"I..." Zheng Juzhong was speechless, his blushing blushed falteringly, and he couldn't say anything.Because what Zhao Gou said was exactly what he learned in the books, and the words of being prepared for danger in times of peace also shocked him, and he immediately shut him up.

Zhao Gou ignored Zheng Juzhong, looked at Deng Xunwu again, and said in a deep voice, "This sentence is also suitable for what Mr. Deng said before!"

"Lord Deng knows that Jin is stronger than Liao, so it is a fact that Liao must perish. If Jin destroys Liao, you also think that Jin, like Liao, will have the same heart to invade Song. It's just whether Mr. Deng Thinking about it, the alliance with Da Song this time has really seen the power of Jin Bing."

"Similarly, the strength of the Song Dynasty is also well known by the Kingdom of Jin. In that case, in the battle against the Liao army, our army must let the Jurchen know how powerful it is. In this way, do they dare to invade the Song Dynasty? Fear, it is bound to make them come and go!"

"The Song Dynasty pays taxes and tributes to the Liao Kingdom every year. Do you think this is really reasonable? You think it is reasonable, but I, Zhao Gou, don't agree. My Song Dynasty is a big country, rich and prosperous, and has experienced many battles. The generals, as well as the wise and powerful ministers, are far superior to the Kingdom of Jin and even the Kingdom of Liao!"

"Why have you been bullied by the Liao Kingdom? If the Jin Kingdom is strong, it will be the same as the Liao Kingdom. In that case, can the Great Song Dynasty continue like this? Don't think that the Liao Lord did not invade the Great Song Dynasty because of the Chanyuan Alliance. Song Zhixin was just too busy to take care of himself and didn't think about it."

"My lords are the ministers of the humerus of the Song Dynasty, and they are also talents of pillars. The reason why it has been difficult to resist foreign enemies is because the hearts of the people in the court are not in harmony. Don't you lords feel that this time Should we be more united in our hatred?"

Zhao Gou's words were like the evening drum and the morning bell. He didn't save the slightest bit of face. His words were sharp, and he satirized the factional disputes in the court before. For a certain person, everyone is still silent.

Although Zhao Gou is young, his words are very reasonable, but they inherit Confucian culture in their bones, and peace is the most important thing, but they don't know that peace is just an illusion. Zhao Gou is to let these people recognize Reality, true unity, don't wait until the crisis emerges to realize regret, at that time it is useless to say anything.
