Chapter 44 The emperor is also difficult to do

An error occurred while processing s private file

The king was angry, fearful, and despair... Looking back now, the old emperor's judgment of Li Hu was correct. Li Hu was indeed the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty, but even if the judgment was correct, the Song Dynasty could not stop Li Hu from going south. Now that Li Hu had captured Taiyuan, he would immediately sweep across the entire Hedong. The territory north of the Yellow River of the Song Dynasty would fall, becoming the territory of the Jurchens and the Han people in Liaodong, and Bian Jing and the Central Plains would become battlefields with wars.

The king had to admire the old emperor. The strategy of traveling to the southeast to rebuild the court was indeed the only way to continue the reign of the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty lost half of its territory. How long can it last if it only relies on the Jianghuai natural danger?

The king hated the people of the northwest. He had just listened to the words of the Zhe family and Zhe Yanzhi and arrived in the northwest. The king hated Tong Guan even more. This eunuch had been in the officialdom for a lifetime and had never seen anyone. He became a spirit but became blind when he believed in a Han captain. As a result, he not only pushed himself into a desperate situation, but also caused the Song Dynasty to suffer an endless catastrophe.

The king kept scolding, complaining, and venting, and there was no countermeasure from beginning to end, which disappointed Li Zongzhen and the subordinates of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. After a superior failed, he did not pursue the deep reasons, but shifted the responsibility to his subordinates, which obviously lacked his mind and mind. Wang was talented and showed his courage and courage in front of everyone after he arrived in the northwest. However, once he was frustrated, he became completely a person, like a beast trapped in a cage, helpless except roaring and chaotic.

After dawn, Mao Jun and Zhang Xiaochun came. As the commander of the Hedong Road Commander, Zhang Xiaochun was involuntarily involved in the struggle for imperial rule since the king arrived in Taiyuan. Zhang Xiaochun was humble and had no big backer in the court. If he wanted to go further in his career, he had to make a choice, either follow the king or end his career. It was absolutely impossible for him to be a middle-aged clan on the fence. Zhang Xiaochun was very wise and chose the king and won the trust of the king. When the king arrived in Taiyuan, he also needed to rely on the officials of Hedong Road to establish his own team. Zhang Xiaochun was the commander of the Hedong Road Commander. Over the years, he had established close relationships with the Hulie Mansion. Moreover, he was not from the northwest, which met the king's needs, so he hit it off.

The Jin army went south to invade, the situation in Bianjing changed drastically, and the prince ascended the throne. This series of dazzling changes made Zhang Xiaochun realize that his life was about to undergo earth-shaking changes, either following Prince Yun to go further, or ending his career or even ending his life.

After Wang Bei went to Datong, he presided over the Northwest Marshal's Mansion in Taiyuan. He strongly opposed the incident of the Huli Lie Army entering Taiyuan. Why did the Huli Lie Army have to go to Taiyuan when entering the battlefield in Hebei? The main forces of Hedong Road are all in Datong, and Taiyuan is empty. Once Li Hu betrays, Taiyuan will definitely be lost. The main forces of the Hedong Army in Datong will also become prisoners of the Huli Lie Army. The Song Dynasty will suffer an unprecedented catastrophe under the joint attack of the Jurchens and the Han people in Liaodong. Wang couldn't listen, and he believed in Tong Guan more. Who knew that the development of the matter was exactly the same as Zhang Xiaochun's worries.

Seeing Zhang Xiaochun, Wang Di's mood calmed a little. He was very ashamed and asked Zhang Xiaochun for advice.

The expression on Zhang Xiaochun's face was very heavy and even a little painful. In the past hour, he had experienced the most difficult obstacles in his life. He had to make a choice, not his personal choice of living and dying, but the choice of survival and defeat of the Song Dynasty. Mao Jun and Zhang Xiaochun had a lot of dealings and were very familiar with him. When Mao Jun saw him, he directly explained the strategy of the Hulie Mansion. You make a choice, either we should push the king to the throne together, or let the Song Dynasty fall apart under the attack of foreign enemies.

Zhang Xiaochun chose the former. He promoted the king to the throne, and the Hulie Mansion replaced the Bianjing court lord to take power. In fact, he was selling dog meat with the title of sheep. Although he was the flag of the Song Dynasty of the Zhao family, the world was already Li Hu. In comparison, letting the Jurchens and the Liao and Eastern Han people harm the Song Dynasty, or even destroy the Song Dynasty, it would be better to let Li Hu be a powerful minister and control the Song Dynasty. After all, the strength of Li Hu and the Hulie Mansion is limited. It is obvious that it is not enough to rely solely on the original people of the Hulie Mansion. Li Hu must have a large number of officials of the Song Dynasty. This is a variable. As long as the time is right, Li Hu can overthrow Li Hu and let the emperor regain control of power. This not only preserves the Song Dynasty of the Zhao family, preserves the Song Dynasty, but also eliminates Li Hu.

Zhang Xiaochun explained Li Hu's future conception and his own countermeasures in detail. Wang was furious. It would be fine if he was a puppet. But he could not tolerate Li Hu's capture of his Zhao family. This was obviously Li Hu's delaying strategy. Just wait for Li Hu to stabilize the situation. His life in his puppet land would probably end.

"Your Highness. We must recognize the current situation." Zhang Xiaochun knew that it was difficult to convince Prince Yun. But he had to convince him. Otherwise, the Song Dynasty would suffer an unprecedented catastrophe. The Song Dynasty might be defeated. China might become the Beilu land ranch.

"Your Highness Li Hu is Wanyan Agudadi's son-in-law. He is Yelu Chundi

Li Qianshun from the Western Xia land was his brother-in-law. The Jurchens in the north and the Khitan Han people had a very deep relationship. As long as Li Hu was willing, he could come forward. The northern barbarians could form a major alliance. This major alliance started from Helan Mountain in the west and ended at Huanglong Mansion in the east. It was very powerful and was enough to destroy the Song Dynasty." Zhang Xiaochun looked at Prince Yun and asked, "Your Highness would like to see the Song Dynasty destroyed?"

When the king heard this, his face changed immediately. The anger in his heart was instantly eliminated. He remembered Tong Guan. Why did Tong Guan insist on holding Li Hu? This is the reason. Once the Northern Barbarians formed a major alliance, confrontation between the north and the south, the Song Dynasty in the south was obviously no match. Whether the Song Dynasty could save half of the country was unknown.

"Do you still remember the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China? Do you still remember the Southern and Northern Dynasties? Now the northern foreign countries are very powerful. Do you want to see China suffer another catastrophe in the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China?"

Wang closed his eyes, shook his head repeatedly, and said in a hoarse voice: "From the current terrain, this trend has already occurred."

"Bianjing will definitely consider this, so it will try every means to win over Li Hu and prevent the northern tyrants from forming a major alliance." Zhang Xiaochun said, "No matter what, Li Hu is a Han Chinese, and the Hulie Mansion is also based on the Han Chinese. More than two hundred years ago, like the Chinese, the Han people in the north were all people of the Tang Dynasty. Looking back, everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, brothers of flesh and blood, and a family. As long as the Song Dynasty recognizes and accepts the northern Han Chinese, many things can be solved easily.



After a long time, Prince Yun sighed and stared blankly at the dusty sky outside the window without saying a word.

Zhang Xiaochun continued to persuade. Putting aside the biggest threat of forming a major alliance between the northern professions, let’s talk about the real threats that can be seen. First of all, the king will definitely not be able to save it. Since Li Hu turned against him and was determined not to provoke a civil war, then Bian Jing will certainly welcome him and shake hands with Li Hu to make peace and fight against the Jurchens together. The little emperor can therefore consolidate the throne and quickly stabilize the domestic situation, and Li Hu can also occupy Taiyuan as he wishes. Secondly, when Li Hu and Bian Jing maintain close relationship

The time must be short. Li Hu's ambition has been exposed, and Bian Jing will never let Li Hu threaten the security of the Song Dynasty. The war will definitely break out. Once this battlefield breaks out, the Jurchens will take advantage of the fire and the Dangxiang people may go with the flow. The entire territory north of the Yellow River may not be able to be preserved. Once all north of the Yellow River falls, the Central Plains will become a battlefield. At that time, the situation will be completely out of control, and the dark era of the second Five Barbarians invading China will come.

Li Hu obviously did not want the Song Dynasty to be destroyed, so he wanted to control Prince Yun and use Prince Yun to gain the support of the Song Dynasty's military and civilians, and then seize the power of the Song Dynasty. This method is actually beneficial to the king. At least Prince Yun can be an emperor. Although he is a puppet emperor, who said that the puppet emperor cannot turn the world? There are too many examples of puppet emperors turning the world around in history. As long as this puppet emperor has the ability, whether it is a foreign relative, a powerful minister or an eunuch, he died miserably in the end. There is an example in front of him, that is, Li Ganshun, the Western Xia Dynasty. In order to regain power, he even killed the empress dowager, swept away the Liang relatives and the Dangxiang royal family, and the powerful, and finally used Han people to help him govern the kingdom. Therefore, being a puppet emperor is just the beginning. As long as you seize the opportunity, it is not difficult to soar to the sky.

Wang was cold all over, and the huge grief and anger in his heart made him feel in great pain. Zhang Xiaochun said it very reasonably, and the prospects for the description were also gorgeous, but it was too difficult to turn such a gorgeous future into reality.

"In the past, Goujian slept on firewood and tasted gall, and he achieved success in ten years." Zhang Xiaochun talked endlessly, giving examples to arouse the king's fighting spirit.

"You ask me to consider it." The situation changed too quickly, and Prince Yun could not accept it for a while, and he did not recover from the shock. He needed time to make sense and choose the right path for himself.

"Your Highness, you don't have time." Zhang Xiaochun smiled bitterly, "The Jin army is attacking Bianjing. The main force of the Northwest Army and all the king-supporting troops are in the capital area. Shaanxi has empty troops, and Li Hu's army will soon advance towards Longde Prefecture, Jinzhou and Jiangzhou. Once the Huli Army crosses the Yellow River, conquers Chang'an, and takes over the Western Beijing Luoyang, then, east of the Taihang Mountains is Li Hu's territory, and Hebei and Shandong are the territory of the Jin Kingdom. The Song Dynasty can only retreat to Jiangnan and defend half of the country."

The king changed color in shock, his hair stood upside down, and he fought several cold wars.

There is really no time left. Who would have thought that a kingdom that looks very powerful would be so vulnerable.

"Your Highness..." Zhang Xiaochun knelt down with his clothes and his heart was so heartbroken that he couldn't help himself. Tears couldn't help but roll out, and he choked up and lost his voice, "Your Highness, who else can save the Song Dynasty now besides you?"
