Chapter 544 The heart of neglect

For Zhang Jun's righteous and dignified remarks, Zhao Gou was actually not caught off guard at all.

He's heard it too much, since decades ago.

But at that time he could not openly oppose and express his disgust openly.

Now that Zhao Huan is dead, the crown prince is set, and his position is finally firm and unshakable.

So he can.

"The people of the Central Plains miss the Song Dynasty, but Deyuan also has to take into account the actual situation of the Song Dynasty. The land of Henan has been broken for a long time. Why did the Restoration Army hand over the land of Henan to the Song Dynasty? Is it because there is not enough money to manage it? ?
They don't want to govern themselves, so they want to dump such a heavy burden on the Song Dynasty, and let the Song Dynasty spend a lot of money to manage Henan and rectify the Yellow River. How much human, material and financial resources will such a thing cost?Deyuan, you have to carefully weigh the pros and cons! "

Seeing Zhao Gou's indifferent expression, Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment before expressing his opinion anxiously.

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because the old ministers weighed the pros and cons that they felt that Kaifeng must be returned, and Henan must be taken. My dynasty cannot always be on the sidelines, but always return to the Central Plains, re-establish my dynasty's status in the Central Plains, and restore my homeland. It is worthy of the ancestors!"

Before Zhao Gou spoke, Tang Situi's eyes lit up, and he stood up to him with a yin and yang anger.

"Zhang Xianggong, there is something wrong with what you said? Could it be that Your Majesty is in all dangers to stabilize half of the Song Dynasty and continue the great Song Dynasty. Even if you come to you, you are ashamed of your ancestors? Then, is it true that you lost Fuping that day? Ashamed of your ancestors? That day, the Huaixi army turned you into mishandling, isn't it also ashamed of your ancestors?"

Tang Situi could be considered to have found an opportunity to counter Zhang Jun, and when he seized the opportunity, he output to Zhang Jun, the output was very fast, and Zhang Jun was caught off guard.

Zhang Jun was shocked when he heard the words, and realized that he had said the wrong thing. When he looked at Zhao Gou again, he found that Zhao Gou was looking at him with an extremely dissatisfied look, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

So he quickly apologized to Zhao Gou.

"Your Majesty! The old minister is confused! The old minister lost his words! The old minister is ashamed of His Majesty's trust! The old minister will die!"

After speaking, Zhang Jun knelt down and pleaded with Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou suppressed his unhappiness, snorted heavily, and said angrily: "After 30 years of hard work, my duty is to stabilize half of the Great Song Dynasty and continue the Great Song Guozuo. This is the end. As for the restoration of the homeland, Zhang Xianggong and other new Let's talk about it after the emperor ascends the throne!"

After speaking, Zhao Gou walked away.

Tang Si Tui and Shen Gai looked at Zhang Jun with schadenfreude, sneered for a while, and turned to leave.

The trio of Privy Council left without saying a word.

Only Chen Kangbo, who has not said a word, has not left for a long time.

After everyone left, he stepped forward to help Zhang Jun, who was paralyzed on the ground.

"Deyuan, get up."

Zhang Jun stood up in despair, looked at the place where Zhao Gou had disappeared, and said puzzled: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly say this? Didn't His Majesty still hope that the Restoration Army could be attached?"

Chen Kangbo has been watching from the sidelines.

When he heard Zhao Gou's statement, he was first surprised and puzzled, and then quickly understood the root of everything.

He invited Zhang Jun to his home and set up a banquet to drink with Zhang Jun. During the banquet, he talked about his guesses.

"Your Majesty may have the heart of neglecting government."

"Heart of neglect?"

Zhang Jun said incredulously: "Why? The homeland has not been restored, the situation in the north is unclear, and it is not clear whether the Liberation Army is an enemy or a friend. Why does Your Majesty neglect government?"

Chen Kangbo drank a glass of wine in one gulp and sighed, "Because the Jin Kingdom has perished, and the late emperor has died."

"This……"

Zhang Jun didn't react until he suddenly heard Chen Kangbo mention this, and he reacted suddenly.

"what do you mean……"

"The Jin Kingdom has perished, the late emperor has died, the crown prince has been established, and Deyuan, what do you think your majesty will think in this situation?"

Zhang Jun lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he said, "We should lift our spirits, Xu Tu restores the Central Plains, restores his homeland, and consoles his ancestors in Kaifeng."

"Ugh……"

Chen Kangbo sighed: "Your Majesty is in the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty. It is difficult and dangerous to stabilize half of the country and continue the country. What I did after that was just to survive under the coercion of the Jin Kingdom. , just to survive, to survive, anything can be done.

When he wakes up from a dream, the Kingdom of Jin has fallen, the late emperor has passed away, and the crown prince has been established. Who else will threaten the safety of His Majesty?No, Deyuan, all gone, as long as the Restoration Army is determined to be a friend rather than an enemy, and as long as a peace treaty is made with the Restoration Army, Your Majesty will inevitably neglect government! "

Chen Kangbo's words are actually a bit arrogant, and it feels a bit slandering the emperor.

However, in his room, the words came out of his mouth and entered Zhang Jun's ears, and no third person heard them again.

Zhang Jun was sitting on the edge of the table, holding a wine glass in his hand, with a confused and struggling look on his face.

After a while, Zhang Jun put down his glass and looked at Chen Kangbo.

"Then why did His Majesty call me back to Lin'an?"

"At that time, the Kingdom of Jin was still there. His Majesty called you back to fight against the Kingdom of Jin. Now that the Kingdom of Jin has fallen, as long as the Restoration Army does not go south and there is no foreign trouble in the Song Dynasty, then..."

Chen Kangbo didn't finish his words, but Zhang Jun already understood what Chen Kangbo meant.

"There is no foreign invasion in the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Jun has no place to stand in Lin'an, Changqing, is that what you mean?"

Chen Kangbo sighed and nodded.

"Deyuan, you are the minister of saving the time. I admire your ambition and your character, so I hope you can decide whether to stay or stay, and start well and end well."

"Is this what someone wants you to tell me, Changqing?"

"This is what Chen Kangbo himself wanted to say to Zhang Deyuan."

Chen Kangbo sighed: "When I was in Shandong, I had a premonition that this day would come, the Jin Kingdom would fall, and the Restoration Army would not be an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty. Without foreign troubles, the Great Song Dynasty would inevitably indulge in stability and no one would try to go north. Swords and guns are put into storage, Ma Fang Nanshan, Yan Wu Xiuwen...

This is of course good. I didn't say that stability is bad, but people have no foresight, and there must be immediate worries. People are like this, and so is the country. In the past, the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom signed a peace treaty. As a result, as soon as the Jin Kingdom rises, the collapse of the two countries is only in the blink of an eye! "

Zhang Jun looked at Chen Kangbo's worried face and slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes again.

"If that's the case, what can I do?"

"Nothing can be done."

Chen Kangbo shook his head and said, "Once the peace treaty is signed, His Majesty will inevitably neglect the government. The rulers are nothing but Tang Situi.

"If that's the case, what's the point of me staying in Lin'an?"

Zhang Jun drank the glass of wine in one gulp, felt unhappy, and could not extinguish the sadness in his heart, so he simply picked up the jug and poured it into his mouth.

Chen Kangbo silently watched Zhang Jun's binge drinking.

But the wine in the pot was also drained, and Zhang Jun was still unhappy, so he got angry.

He slapped the table and growled.

"My life's ambition is only to restore the Central Plains! Just to restore the Central Plains! I know that I don't have a lot of talent, so I have the defeat of Fuping and the defeat of Huaixi, I know! I know everything! But I am not reconciled!
I'm not reconciled to being humiliated by the Jin people!I am not reconciled to the Chinese orthodoxy being trampled on by the frontier barbarians!I am not reconciled to Hua Tianzi's submission to the barbarian lord!I can not be reconciled!I am not reconciled!Changqing, are you willing?Are you willing? ! "

Chen Kangbo looked at Zhang Jun with pity.

"I'm not reconciled, but all of this is over. Deyuan, the Jin Kingdom are over, the barbarians are over, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty does not need to be a minister to the barbarians."

"If it wasn't done by the Song Dynasty army itself, it doesn't count! That's what the Restoration Army did, it was done by the Restoration Army! What does it have to do with Great Song! The Restoration Army defeated the Jin Kingdom and restored the Central Plains, does anyone think that Is this due to Da Song?"

Zhang Jun thumped the table fiercely: "Even if the Liberation Army is now a friend rather than an enemy, who can guarantee the future? Who can guarantee it? Changqing, can you guarantee it? Can you guarantee it?"

"No one can guarantee that."

Chen Kangbo shook his head.

"Yes! No one can guarantee that! No one can guarantee that the Restoration Army will always be friends with Da Song! You can't practice martial arts! You can't waste armaments! We must actively prepare for war, we must train troops, we must enrich weapons, and we must always be prepared for war. Ah! To prevent the founding of the Restoration Army from becoming the second Jin Kingdom!"

Zhang Jun shed tears while talking, and the more he talked, the louder he cried, and finally he buried his head on the table and cried bitterly.

Chen Kangbo silently accompanied Zhang Jun, waiting for him to finish crying without disturbing him.
