Qiming 1158

Chapter 194 So Zhao Gou happily continued to enjoy himself
The Northern Expedition is definitely risky, and whoever initiates it, of course, needs to be held responsible.

The military power of the Song Dynasty was in the hands of the emperor. If it was to be launched, it must be the emperor Zhao Gou who could launch it. Therefore, he had to bear the main responsibility.

But Zhao Gou was unwilling to take responsibility.

Then the meaning is clear.

Keep the status quo and forget about the rest.

Such a good opportunity, such a great possibility, just gave up?

When the heroes of the Central Plains started to turn their backs, it was time to look forward to the help of the King of the South, but the King of the South turned a blind eye and let the Jin army kill the heroes...

Chen Kangbo could not persuade himself to look at this matter with a normal heart.

"Your Majesty, if the heroes of the north rise up, if I turn a blind eye and do nothing, I will lose people's hearts.
If Da Song sits and watches the success or failure and does nothing, the people of the Central Plains will be completely lost, and the heroes in the north will think that Da Song does not want to restore the Central Plains at all, then my dynasty will never have the chance to restore the Central Plains! "

Chen Kangbo burst into tears, his voice choked.

people's hearts?

Can no longer restore the Central Plains?

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and his heart was slightly fluctuating.

He was born in the north, and of course he is also a northerner.

But Tang Si Tui didn't feel that way.

He only thought that Chen Kangbo's remarks were very ridiculous.

"Heroes? If they are really heroes, they should use their own strength to expel the Jin people, instead of expecting Master Wang! Since they have decided to rise up, they must be determined and prepared to die.

If you don't even have this determination and preparation, and just wait for Master Wang to help them, then this kind of hero is definitely not a hero!There is no need for support, and what is more worrying is whether they will drag down Da Song! "

In one sentence, Tang Situi wiped out the little fluctuations in Zhao Gou's heart.

Zhao Gou immediately felt that what Tang Situi said also made sense.

If they are really heroes, there is no need to expect them to help.

If it weren't for the heroes, it would be useless if they went to help, it was just wasting soldiers and horses.

So to sum it up...

No need to help.

Right, that is it.

So far, Zhao Gou's idea has been basically determined.

Chen Kangbo, however, tried his best to argue and was unwilling to give up, berating Tang Si Tui for being shameless.

"The restoration of the Central Plains requires the joint efforts of all parties. The Jin Kingdom's military is strong, so it is even more necessary for the army and the people of the Song Dynasty to work together to restore the Central Plains. In your words, you treat the heroes of rebellion as cowardly, and save others by yourself!
Tang Situi, you are timid yourself, if you are afraid of Jin Guo, don't think that everyone in the world is afraid of Jin Guo!There are so many heroes in the world, how can you be so slandered?brazen! "

Tang Situi was furious and scolded Chen Kangbo vigorously. The two almost quarreled, but Zhao Gou finally stopped the quarrel.

But Zhao Gou's decision was beyond doubt.

Although Chen Kangbo was tearfully arguing with Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou was unmoved.

Knowing that Chen Chengzhi, a member of the Privy Council, looked at Chen Kangbo with tears streaming down his face and choking, he couldn't bear it.

So he took a step forward and spoke to Zhao Gou.

"Your Majesty, this minister believes that although sending troops to the north is very dangerous, there may be a different method, such as sending people north to confer an official position on the leader of the rebellion, secretly recruiting security, and not letting the Jinren know about it. Peace, I can also sit back and watch the success or failure, without any flaws."

Tang Si Tui was dissatisfied again.

"This can't be said to be foolproof, right? Official uniforms and seals are always given to officials. If these things are discovered after they are pacified by the Jin people, the Jin people use these things to scold me, how should I deal with it?"

Chen Chengzhi was very dissatisfied with Tang Situi's blindly fearful behavior, and had always despised Tang Situi's servile maid during Qin Hui's rule, so he put forward a rebuttal.

"How do you know that you will be found out? Besides, you are afraid of this and that when you do things. It's like drinking the water in your own house and worrying about whether the water will be poisonous. Isn't Tang Xianggong afraid of dying of thirst?"

Seeing Chen Chengzhi disobeying him, Tang Situi was furious.

"How dare you speak to me like that?"

Chen Chengzhi sneered.

"I'm His Majesty's courtier and I only recognize justice. Could it be that Tang Xianggong wants to learn from Qin Hui and doesn't even give me a chance to tell the truth?"

Chen Chengzhi holds the master and position in the war, and does not support the war, but he is very dissatisfied with Qin Hui's behavior of covering the sky.

Therefore, he is quite sensitive to this kind of thing, and he is not afraid at all.

And he knew that Zhao Gou would never allow another Qin Hui to appear.

Sure enough, mentioning Qin Hui touched the most sensitive part of Zhao Gou's heart, and he immediately frowned.

"Tang Xianggong, don't say more. Some people have different opinions. This is a good thing. If the court becomes a one-word court, it is not a good thing."

Hearing Zhao Gou's icy warning, Tang Situi was startled, and hurriedly pleaded with Zhao Gou, took three steps back, and did not dare to speak any more.

Zhao Gou breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Chengzhi.

"Zi Ming, what do you mean, my court can send someone to contact the person who started the uprising in Shandong, give him an official, and determine a name?"

"Exactly, Your Majesty, the title of monarch and ministers is very important. With this title, if he wins, the Central Plains can naturally recover. If he loses, as long as I don't actually send troops to the dynasty, the Jin people will not be able to grasp the handle of my dynasty. , it would not be considered a breach of the peace talks.”

Chen Chengzhi gave his own suggestion.

This suggestion made Zhao Gou nodded slightly, thinking that it was feasible.

Shen Kai, who hadn't said much just now, put forward his own views again.

"Your Majesty, in order to completely cut off future troubles, I think that it is okay to grant officials, but things like the official uniform and seals that represent my dynasty can be slightly manipulated, and slightly changed in places they don't know, so that even if these things fall into the hands of Jinren In the future confrontation, there is also room for manoeuvre.”

Shen Gai's thoughts hit the most worrying part of Zhao Gou's heart.

In this way, all the problems have been solved, and Zhao Gou can finally sit back and watch the tiger fight with peace of mind.

"Very good, let's do it this way, self-evident, since the matter is big, you send reliable personnel to handle it directly. Be careful not to leak the news. The fewer people who know the better, you will be directly responsible."

"The minister obeys the order."

Chen Chengzhi accepted Zhao Gou's order.

So Zhao Gou happily continued to enjoy the happiness.

Chen Kangbo obviously wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, but left the palace helplessly.

On the way out of the palace, Chen Chengzhi caught up with Chen Kangbo.

"What Xianggong said just now was too radical and made the officials feel unhappy. I thought that after the husband, he would still be cautious in his words and deeds, and don't say anything about sending troops to the northern expedition in front of the officials."

Chen Kangbo's kind words were not incomprehensible.

So he shook his head helplessly.

"How can I not understand the reason? The official family is getting older, and they want more and more stable times, and don't want the chaos of war. I understand, but Da Song can't just be like this. Trapped in a corner of Jiangnan, not going to restore the Central Plains?"

Chen Chengzhi sighed.

"The slogan of restoring the Central Plains has been shouted every year, but is it really possible? Maybe there were some opportunities at the beginning, right? But now, is there really a chance? Judging from the facts I have seen in the past few days as a member of the Privy Council, the difficulty is big."

Chen Kangbo looked at Chen Chengzhi.

"The army is unusable?"

"Hmph, it's more than unusable, neglecting training, taking empty pay, running an industry, doing some swindling in private, and even selling smuggled salt. There are many such people in the army, and their hearts are full of Business, where is the courage to fight?"

Chen Chengzhi said with disdain: "These generals are all greedy for life and fear of death. Even if they are a little daring, they died before Qin Hui came to power. What kind of good generals are left?"

When Chen Kangbo heard this, he was speechless.

It's not that he doesn't know some things, and he wants to change, but there's nothing he can do.

The Privy Council has the power to mobilize troops, but not to command them, nor to manage the daily training of soldiers. This part of the power does not belong to the Privy Council. Although Chen Chengzhi knew that the army was rotten and useless, he did not know what to do to change this situation.

In the same way, Chen Kangbogui was not involved in political affairs, but he was not in charge of this.

And from his point of view, the official Zhao Gou may not have the intention to restrain the reform of the army.
