Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 519 Dragon Tao Leopard Strategy

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows slightly and took a step back calmly.

Zhao Kuangyin was startled for a moment, looked around and then picked up the stool where his younger brother was sitting.

Then he muttered something:

If you are crazy, hit your head, if you are stupid, slap your head. If you are crazy, you will hit your face head-on.

Good brother, please be patient, I'll beat you up right now!

Zhao Er glanced at the stool made of solid wood, then rolled his eyes to look at his serious brother. His facial expression immediately became straight, and he wiped his saliva:

Thanks to the official's favor, I am fine!

Really?

It's alright. Don't dare to deceive the officials.

Seeing his brother placing the wooden stool on the ground with regret on his face, Zhao Kuangyi said cautiously:

When I was in chaos and ignorance just now, I seemed to have heard some noble words from officials, but I don't know...

That's just what I said casually, don't take it seriously.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at it, and then his face sank again:

I don't even know how to pretend to be crazy or stupid. If I call you incompetent, it's true!

Under this situation, Zhao Kuangyi didn't dare to say anything, and tried his best to appear submissive to his eldest brother, but it only made Zhao Da even more annoyed.

So he simply talked to Zhao Pu behind him and said:

This Genghis Khan... I think he is the Emperor Meng Yuanzhi... Khan?

It should be as the officials think.

Zhao Pugong handed over his hand. This person who had plotted the world with Zhao Kuangyin ten years ago on a snowy night, now probably understood that the Jin, Liao and Song Dynasties were intertwined, and in the end he became a fan of the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry. For a while, he lost the interest in talking and sighed. Take a breath.

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head slightly, then paced back and forth in the hall, trying to recite the words loudly in broken sentences, his mood became more and more high along with the words:

The country is so beautiful? The country is so beautiful!

Even if it is a little less charming, I will still make up for it and make it a legend in history!

To fulfill our old wish, the two kings will march to the north and climb to Youzhou in winter to have a panoramic view of the scenery of the northern country!

After reading it twice more, the frustration caused by his brother's unsatisfactory look completely dissipated. He only had a longing for the heroic words in his poems. At that moment, he stepped over and wrote a pen on the stone table. .

〖Zhao Kuangyin: The achievements are difficult to achieve for eternity, but the remaining achievements will be remembered for thousands of years. We should follow Taizong's law and open up borders to restore mountains and rivers.

Li Shimin: Can you tell me first, which dynasty was Emperor Taizong? 〗

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin threw his pen aside and laughed, then turned around and said:

Tomorrow I will take Chengqian Qingque and Pheasant slave on a tour to the northern suburbs to watch my general Tiance shoot the eagle with ease!

This idea was due to the name of Genghis Khan. I still remember that the Huns who were attacked by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped the vultures. Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty seemed to be the same.

Could it be that there is also a connection? But no matter what, he didn't think his archery skills could surpass his own.

Empress Changsun nodded with a smile, thinking in her heart that she should bring her daughter Changle with her.

Changsun Wuji was beside Li Shimin at this time. Seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood, he also smiled and said:

Now our Tang Dynasty has looked far away to the Western Regions. The princes of Wu and Song are all working hard for the unification of the world. I don't know who can take the lead.

This topic successfully aroused the interest of Zhenguan civil and military officials. Before Li Shimin could speak, the ministers all said that there was nothing to guess:

Emperor Zhaolie now has the help of Wuhou Lu Su and others, and he has the skills to grow gunpowder, so he must be the first.

Du Ruhui also looked at it very carefully:

It took ten years for the founder of Song Dynasty to set the strategy for the world before settling in the south. This shows that he tried to be safe. I am afraid it will also take ten years to send his troops north to recover Yanyun.

Everyone agreed.

[The topic returns to the succession of the throne itself.

It was precisely because Zhao Er made a start that the later emperors of the Song Dynasty basically lacked a sense of security. As a result, civil servants exploited every opportunity to fight endlessly in order to gain the emperor's favor.

For example, Cai, Xing, and Zhang, the three people mentioned earlier who tried to support King Yong and King Cao, saw that they could not sing praises for the rapid change of families and the opposition to Zhe Zong.

At the same time, Gao Taotao had a grudge against Zhezong's biological mother, Zhu, so the three of them used the banner of respecting Zhu to win Zhezong's favor.

When Shenzong was in power, Zhao Hao and Zhao 𫖳, who were both the parents of Gao Taotao and Shenzong, repeatedly asked for release to avoid suspicion, but Gao Taotao's elderly and beloved son refused.

After Gao Taotao listened to the government behind the curtain, he gave his two sons a mansion in Xianyifang, and allowed his sons to visit the palace every day.

Cai, Xing, and Zhang took this as an excuse and used the example of Empress Dowager Lou in the Northern Qi Dynasty to depose Sun Zong and establish a son, to frame Gao Taotao's intention to depose Zhe Zong and install Zhao Hao in his place.

Moreover, after Zhezong came to power, he abolished Yuan Youzheng and implemented reforms. Cai, Xing, and Zhang belonged to the New Party. Once Zhezong became powerful, the New Party launched a massive liquidation of the old party, and even planned to depose Gao Taotao, who had died of illness at that time.

For example, Xing Shu took out the letters between Yuan Yougenghua and his friend Liu Zhi when he was demoted to Yongzhou. This Liu Zhi also had the identity of a close minister of the empress.

At that time, Liu Zhi comforted Xing Shu in his letter and said, The beauty of Yongzhou will be restored soon. At first glance, it seems that Liu Zhi comforted Xing Shu to relax for the time being and can always use it again in the future.

But Xing Shu didn't think so. He explained that the person who rests and recovers, the language comes out of the Book of Changes, and the person who rests and recovers, waits for the restoration of the Empress Dowager and the Ming Dynasty in the future. It can be said that he understands the literary inquisition very well.

In the first few years of Zhezong's pro-government, there were countless similar things like this, which can be described as a mess. They can basically be regarded as Zhezong's stress reaction in order to stabilize the throne. It was not until his biological mother, Zhu, finally came forward to dissuade this evil trend that it finally stopped.

But it was no surprise that similar things happened again after Zhe Zong's death. After all, Zhe Zong had no children, so as long as he bet on the right treasure, he would be rich again.

However, because Cai Que died young and old, Zhezong failed in the political struggle between Xing Shu and Zhang Dun and was expelled from the capital. After Zhezong's death, the only one who caused trouble was Zhang Dun, who had already become prime minister.

The sentence that many people are familiar with, Prince Duan (Huizong) is frivolous and cannot rule the world was what Zhang Dun said when discussing the throne.

It can be said that Zhang Dun's level as prime minister is quite good. He has a tough external attitude and is committed to restoring the new law internally. He is Zhezong's right-hand man.

However, Zeng Bu, who was serving as the privy envoy at the time, had a great personal grudge against Zhang Dun, so when they established the crown prince, Zeng Bu and Empress Dowager Xiang joined forces to suppress Zhang Dun and established King Duan as emperor.

For this reason, after Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty came to power, he unceremoniously grabbed Zhang Dun to liquidate him, and told his surroundings that this was a personal grudge. He was demoted six times in five years, and finally died in Shuzhou.

Zhao Si, the Jian king recommended by Zhang Dun when he was established as the crown prince, was also affected. If Zuo Si Jian and Jiang Gongwang hadn't risked their lives to persuade him, Zhao Si would have almost become Zhao Tingmei's second best.

Politically, Huizong and Zhezong also chose to implement the Shaoshu proposal of reforming the law. Shaoshu means inheriting the predecessors, so the main discussion was Shenzong's new policy, and because Shenzong was dead, Shaoshu proposal This gave rise to the filial piety that was quite noble in the feudal era.

The difference is that Huizong's methods were more intense. Cai Jing, who was appointed as prime minister, tried his best to liquidate Yuanyou's party members. In addition to erecting a Yuanyou party membership monument and labeling 309 people as traitors to the world, he also launched the aforementioned List of banned books.

In fact, at this point, the legal dilemma faced by the Song Dynasty emperor was already quite clear.

Tieweishan Congtan written by Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Sui clearly records the views of the Song Dynasty people on Huizong's succession at that time:

The emperor (Huizong) who came to the throne changed the Yuan Dynasty and established the Jingguo... He was actually succeeded by brothers, so it follows the story of peace and rejuvenation of the country.

This can be regarded as another explanation for the reason why Xiangshan Wild Records was included in the banned book even though it did not oppose the reform.

The incident of the candle shadow and the sound of the ax recorded by Monk Wen Ying was regarded as a criticism of the brotherhood and legitimacy of Song Huizong. Moreover, at that time, most people compared Huizong and Taizong. Questioning Zhao Er was equivalent to questioning Huizong, which involved Such a piece of shit from the royal family, no wonder it was banned.

As for Huizong himself, there is not much to say. In the 16th year, the Jin soldiers marched in and captured countless people.

Huizong and his son Qinzong were forced to hunt in the north, and the Beizong collapsed suddenly for 167 years. 】

〖Zhang Fei: This Song Dynasty minister has an impeccable talent in the court, but how can he not even understand when he is in battle?

Pei Xingjian: If you win, the Song Emperor will take credit, if you lose, the general will take responsibility. Who dares to fight?

Ma Chao: Even so...there should be a righteous man who fights thieves for the country, or Yue Fei who admires the military advisor.

Li Jing: If you can commemorate the memory of Marquis Wu in the Northern Expedition, you must be a good and honest minister. 〗

Yue Fei... tried his best to ignore Zhang Fei's obviously yin and yang words, and Zhao Kuangyin silently wrote down the name in his heart.

When the country is in crisis, will there be a righteous person to save the country?

This time, the heart that had been sinking since the sightseeing curtain finally rose slightly at this moment, giving Zhao Kuangyin a sense of expectation in his heart.

But looking at what the hussar general Ma Chao and the military god Li Jing said, Zhao Kuangyin felt a touch of unrealistic extravagance in his heart:

If Zhuge Wuhou could be here...

But as soon as he said the words, looking at Zhao Pu with a slightly resentful expression, Zhao Kuangyin could only laugh, then turned around and said angrily:

Do you remember what I just said?

Zhao Guangyi raised his head blankly. There were too many things that his brother had just said, such as calling him a turtle, calling him a spineless person, and I wonder which one he was talking about?

Looking at his younger brother's expression, Zhao Kuangyin looked complicated and shook his head:

The initiator.

After saying that, he ignored Zhao Guangyi, who had a bleak look on his face, but sighed again and said:

I wonder if Mrs. Xiang regrets not listening to Zhang Dun's words.

What's there to regret?

Zhao Pu also looked complicated and shook his head:

Song Zuo's arrival to this point is by no means the result of one person's efforts in one day. There must be countless disadvantages and redundant documents that are difficult to present.

The word 'restoration' can be used to judge a crime, and if it goes against the reform, it will be punished by a monument. This is not something that has been done for a long time.

Zhao Kuangyin's rationality told him that what Zhao Pu said was not wrong at all.

But from a perceptual point of view, this country, which was ranked first in the Northern Song Dynasty by later generations, was ultimately founded by him. He cultivated civilized affairs internally and gained military power, and externally trained the imperial army to bring peace to the world. He devoted more than ten years of hard work to die here. It is inevitable that there is a lot of sadness. .

In this case, Zhao Kuangyin simply chose to ask for help from the ancestors he had already contacted:

〖Zhao Kuangyin: Emperor Zhaolie and Emperor Daguangxiao, the great civil and military sage, can we know the relationship between the Han and Tang Dynasties?

Li Shimin:...

Li Shimin: Just call me Your Majesty, and it doesn’t matter if you know Zuo or not, the difference is thousands of miles, just use it to help avoid old troubles and bring future generations closer.

Liu Bei: The three rejuvenations of Yanhan are just around the corner. 〗

Kong Ming was very pleased to see the lord above him stretching, his whole body filled with aspiration to reach the sky.

It is also certain that after the Three Qin Dynasty, the people in Guanzhong praised their lord more highly than him. After the family members came, Xuande Gong's complacency became more and more obvious.

I was originally thinking that I or Shi Yuan would give advice, or that Yide would come forward and tell me directly.

But fortunately, after watching Qinyuanchun, the Lord's sword, which had been sheathed and loved his hometown, regained its brilliance.

Kong Ming couldn't help but move his eyes to the map behind him.

Leaving Tongguan in the west, the old capital of the Han Dynasty will be right in front of you.

Cao Cao's thieves were stationed here with heavy troops, and the Han Dynasty's powerful and noble surnames also gathered here.

After their unremitting efforts from Yizhou Zhiguan, the fire of Yanhan is burning more and more fiercely.

Whether this fire can spread across the Central Plains and spread like a prairie fire across the world will all be decided this year.

Perhaps because he was thinking longer and longer, Kong Ming was actually a little dazed. It wasn't until Pang Tong called his name a few times that he came back to his senses.

Kong Ming, do you think that Yue Fei was the one who saved Song Dynasty?

In response to Pang Tong's casual question, Kong Ming shook his head silently and said, half-answering:

The world is as turbid as mud, and the person is as brilliant as jade.

Then he added a question in his mind:

If a jade enters the mud without changing its color, how can it retain evil?

In the Manlu Palace, Queen Changsun looked at Li Shimin's face and said in a rare joke:

Then Emperor Song's appearance matches his appearance, why wouldn't His Majesty Erfeng be happy?

Most of the others hid their faces and smiled, enjoying the quarrels between the emperor and the empress.

Li Shimin said with a straight face:

When the emperor dies, he is given a posthumous title. Why call a living person with a posthumous title?

After finishing his scolding, Li Shimin suddenly had a toothache when he thought about the reason why this posthumous title was so long:

Teach the pheasant slaves not to be vain.

Just like the posthumous title given to him, it seemed to be a sign of filial piety, but when Emperor Song actually said it, it was more like making fun of him.

After revealing this matter, Li Shimin also sighed because of Zhao Dasuo's question:

Guo Zuo is one hundred and sixty-seven years old. Song Wenzhi does have merit.

This is of course, but from Li Shimin's point of view, the Song Dynasty's martial arts was a mess, but it was still able to persist for so long, until it died hand in hand with Liao.

Think about what we have seen before, that the Song Dynasty not only practiced military strategy and military strategy, but also developed ordnance and gunpowder, and also had to face the cavalry in the north, as well as the people who had their land taken away from them and shouted equalize the rich and the poor and rebelled.

Li Shimin immediately sighed sincerely:

Joining the army in the Song Dynasty was extremely difficult.

Pei Xingjian, who had just achieved military success with his master, nodded fiercely: Who says it's not the case?

If he was really born in the Song Dynasty, he would definitely have no desire to join the army or become an official.

[From the beginning of Wild Records of Xiangshan Mountains to the end of Wild Records of Xiangshan Mountains.

The Chenqiao Mutiny, the Sound of the Shadow and the Axe, and the Alliance of the Golden Chamber were listed as the three major mysteries of the Northern Song Dynasty.

There is no need to say much about the role of the Chenqiao Mutiny, but the other two mysterious cases actually affected the political changes in the Northern Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years.

As for the truth, perhaps it would be simpler from the perspective of the Liao Kingdom. After all, the enemy country at that time did not need to be taboo for the nobles of the Song Dynasty.

Just like the handsome back of Zhao Er's drifting donkey cart is only seen in the history of Liao Dynasty and not mentioned at all in the history of Song Dynasty.

History of the Liao records: In November of Bingzi, the leader of the Song Dynasty Kuang Yin died, and his younger brother Jiong stood up on his own and sent an envoy to report. 】

Zhao Kuangyin didn't say a word, but Zhao Guangyi quickly clarified:

It must be the Khitan thieves who are falsely accusing me... and my younger brother!

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and reminded him quite sincerely:

You are now guilty of the crime of assassination.

What are you afraid of?
