Chapter 132 Entering North Korea (I)

In the Bianliang Imperial Palace in the capital of the Song Dynasty, the conflict between the Empress Dowager Gao and Emperor Zhao Xu (known as Song Zhezong in history) intensified, and the contradictions began to become clear due to different political views.

At this time, the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect gradually infiltrated the army and the inner palace according to the pre-arrangement.

Because of his high martial arts skills and detailed plans, he has obtained control of the Imperial Guard.

According to the plan, the disciples gradually gained Zhao Xu's trust, helped Zhao Xu to launch a coup, and put Empress Dowager Gao, who had been in power for five years, under house arrest.

While Xiaoyao's disciples began to infiltrate the Song army, Hangu's strategy of recruiting disciples changed and he began to recruit educated personnel.

While practicing martial arts, these people practiced the way of governing the country under the training of Su Xinghe, Gou Du and others.

These measures provide political talent guarantees for Yu Xuyu to undermine the Song Dynasty regime in the future.

Since the Empress Dowager Gao, the Empress Dowager Gao, has summoned famous officials and abolished the new laws and harsh policies. In the past few years of the reign of the government, the court has been clear and the country has been peaceful and the people have been safe.

Use unique perspectives to select talents without avoiding relatives.

Holding power in hand can treat people in moderation, and holding the harem can treat people equally.

All things that respect oneself are handed over to the inner palace warehouse.

He handled state affairs and made clear decisions, and was called Yao and Shun, a woman in history.

Song Zhezong Zhao Xu was fifteen or sixteen years old.

His face was a little pale, his eyes were deep, his whole body looked a little thin, his spirit was pretty good, and he was quite heroic.

Although he was young, he had high ambitions. He always used his own responsibility to rejuvenate and govern himself, and wanted to strive for his efforts to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

At this time, he had led his troops to control the palace and led his confidants to surround the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

All Gao's confidants were captured and taken to the side hall to take care of them.

The Empress Dowager Gao said: My son, it is difficult for our ancestors to start a business, but fortunately, our ancestors have a deep love, and we must have peace today.Your father was in power and the whole country was in full swing, and almost caused a huge change. The people still think about it. What do you think is the reason?

Zhao Xu said: The child often listened to the emperor's grandmother's words, and his father believed Wang Anshi and changed the old laws, which caused the people to live in poverty.

The Empress Dowager's dry face moved slightly and sighed: Wang Anshi is knowledgeable and talented. He is not a bad person at first, and his intention is naturally for the country and the people. However, your father, once he is impatient, he only hopes to succeed quickly, but he does not know that things in the world are often too hasty and are in a hurry, and he makes trouble.

Speaking of this, she looked at Zhao Xu, saw Zhao Xu listening carefully, and then said: Secondly, he couldn't hear a word that was unpleasant. Only when others sing praises and say that he was the Son of Ming Dynasty would he like it.If he said that his actions were inappropriate and he would give him a few words of advice, he would lose his temper, dismissed from office, and exiled to him. In this way, who would dare to give him a frank advice?

Zhao Xu said: Emperor and grandmother, it’s a pity that the father’s will has not been fulfilled, and his good laws and beautiful intentions have been corrupted by the villain.

The Empress Dowager was shocked and asked in a trembling voice: What good laws and good intentions?What villain?

Zhao Xu said: Are the Qingmiao Laws, Horse Protection Laws, Baojia Laws, etc. created by the father, all are good methods to enrich the country and strengthen the army?I only regret that corrupt scholars such as Sima Guang and Su Shi have ruined major events.

The Empress Dowager's face changed color and said: Child, you have been the emperor for five years, but in these five years, the real emperor is the emperor's grandmother. You have to obey the emperor's grandmother's orders. You must be very angry and hate your emperor's grandmother very much, right?

Zhao Xu said: The emperor and grandmother are the emperor for me, which is because she loves me, for fear that I will be exhausted.You use people and you give the imperial edict. If the child is very idle, what's wrong with it?How dare you blame me?

The Empress Dowager sighed and said softly: You are very like your father. You think you are smart and capable, and you always want to do something big. You have always hated me in your heart. Don’t I know?

Zhao Xu smiled slightly and said: The emperor’s grandmother naturally knew.The commander of the Imperial Guard in the palace is your confidant, the eunuch leader is your confidant, and the civil and military ministers of the court are all appointed by you.In addition to obediently obediently obediently, the child dares to do something casually.Say something casually?

The Empress Dowager looked straight at the top of the tent and said: You are counting on taking over the power every day, and you can show your skills.

Zhao Xu said: Everything is given by the emperor's grandmother. If you had not been in charge of the leadership of your father, when the emperor died, the ministers in the court would not have appointed King Yong, but also appointed King Cao.How can the child dare to forget the deep kindness of the emperor and grandmother?

The Empress Dowager said: What do you want to say? Why should you hesitate if you say it?

Zhao Xu said: The child once heard that the emperor’s grandmother wanted to establish a child, but she was greedy for the child’s youth, so you can come to the government in person.

He said these words boldly, his heart was pounding. He looked at the hall gate for a few times. Seeing that the people guarding the door were still his confidants and were closely guarded, he felt relieved.

The Empress Dowager nodded slowly and said: Your words are right, I really want to govern the country by myself.How have I managed over the past few years?

Zhao Xu said: I have said so many words from the emperor’s grandmother, the literati of the court and the country, in recent years, I’m afraid you’ll get bored with it.If the new law does not apply, we will protect the country and the people, and we will have more than one's own strength, but we will not be strong enough.

The Empress Dowager said: Do you want to launch a war?You must know the matter of swords and weapons, and each other is damaged. If you fight with the Khitan, if Xixia and Tufan take the opportunity to attack, what will you do?

He said: I have sufficient soldiers and sufficient food and a large population, so why should I be afraid of the Three Kingdoms?He didn't come to attack, and I wanted to compete with them.

The Empress Dowager's ears were not effective and asked: What did you say?What kind of battle?

Zhao Xu took a few steps forward and said: Emperor Grandmother, our Song Dynasty has ten times more population than the Liao Kingdom, and the food and grass are thirty times more, right?If you fight against one in ten, can you still beat them?The power of Xixia and Tufan is even weaker, so I am not afraid of them.

The Empress Dowager said in a trembling voice: Do you think you want to go to war with them?When Emperor Zhenzong was so brave and brave, he personally led the army to form the Chanzhou alliance. How dare you move troops without bribery?

Zhao Xu said angrily: The emperor and grandmother always look down on the child, just thinking that the child is still a baby who has not done anything and does not know anything.Even if the child cannot reach Taizu and Taizong, he may not be able to reach Emperor Zhenzong.

The Empress Dowager said: Even Emperor Taizong was defeated by the northern country and returned seriously injured. The wounds were difficult to heal, so he finally died.

Zhao Xu said: How can we generalize the affairs of the world?We couldn't beat the Khitans back then, but we might not be able to beat them forever.

The Empress Dowager said strongly and clearly: The war and war are in danger and the lives are in trouble. You must not act rashly.

After a while, she took a deep breath and said slowly: My son, I have been in power in the past five years, and I haven't told you to analyze it properly. That's my fault.I always thought that when you are older, you will be more likely to understand and understand.Who knows...

She coughed a few times and said: We have more people and enough food, which is good, but the Song Dynasty is weak in culture and not as brave as the Khitans.What's more, once a war is fought, the military and civilians are confused, and they don't know how many people will die or how many houses will be burned. There are countless families in the world who want their families to be destroyed and their wives and children will be separated.For the king, there must always be a word "benevolence" in his heart. Not to mention the unpredictable number of victory or defeat, even if he is sure to win, it is better not to fight this battle.

Zhao Xu said: We have occupied the Sixteen Prefectures for the Liao people, and we have to pay tribute to him every year, both like a vassal and a minister. As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, how can the child swallow his tone?Can't we always be bullied by the Liao people?

His voice became louder and louder: Wang Anshi's reforms and the implementation of Baojia and Horse Protection Methods was not to make the country prosperous and strong, and to wash away the shame of his ancestors over the years.Those who are descendants can only be filial to their ancestors.Isn’t the father working hard all his life to govern, but isn’t it for this?The child must inherit his father's ambitions.

The Empress Dowager knew that the inner palace had completely controlled Zhao Xu, and he would not listen to his kind words.

She said: I have been in power for five years, and I am determined by the great Song Dynasty and have no selfishness.I will only tell you one thing: appoint wise ministers, use light weapons, and maintain the vitality of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu said: I am going to use Mr. Hu Qiye, a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. This is the "Contemporary Military Strategy" he wrote.

After saying that, Zhao Xu took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Gao.

Gao read a few pages and looked up at Zhao Xu and said: This person is very famous in the martial arts world, and his martial arts must be unfathomable.Looking at the book he wrote, his writing style is also a talented person.If this person is loyal, he will be a pillar of the court, but if his heart is unpredictable, he will be a hero in troubled times.I am old and I wanted to take charge of the government for a few more years, so that the Song Dynasty could accumulate some financial resources, and then let you take charge of the government.Today you can't wait to take charge of the government, but I don't have much opinion.Today I will only tell you one thing, if you use Hu Qiye, you must have a complete plan to be prepared.Otherwise, if the disaster strikes Xiao Yun, I'm afraid I will regret it.
