Qiming 1158

Chapter 999 Lu You's Note
After a feast was over, the members of the Southern Song Dynasty envoys returned to the inn, rested, and began to prepare for the return journey.

That night, Chen Kangbo had a discussion with Lu You and Yu Yunwen again.

"If the Ming Kingdom intends to go south to invade the Great Song Dynasty in two or three years, it will definitely insist on paying the full amount of the old coins, and before the attack, it may even force the Great Song to refuse on the grounds of increasing the number of old coins, so as to obtain an excuse for war.

So this time, I have to learn from Emperor Ming's real plan no matter what. As long as he doesn't let go, Da Song must prepare for the worst and prepare to fight against the elites of the Ming Kingdom. It means that Da Song still has time. "

Chen Kangbo revealed his intentions after discussing with Zhao Tan. Only then did Yu Yunwen and Lu You understand what the root cause of the northward trip was.

In this regard, they have nothing to say. Although they were scolded miserably in the court of the Ming Dynasty and lost all face, the basic purpose was still achieved.

"So, although Emperor Ming is demanding, he must be prepared for what we promised. That is to say, Emperor Ming is not ready to attack the Great Song Dynasty in the short term?"

Yu Yunwen quickly realized the biggest demand of the Southern Song Dynasty in this matter, and said, "That means, the Song Dynasty still has enough time to strengthen itself?"

Chen Kangbo nodded.

"Although the Ming Kingdom is indeed strong, as long as you give Your Majesty time to work hard, I believe that the national power of the Great Song Dynasty will flourish. As long as the Great Song Dynasty is safe, as long as the Great Song Dynasty is good, no matter how much hardships my generation suffers, it will be worth it."

"Master..."

Yu Yunwen was a little moved, but at the same time he thought of the great advantages of the Ming Kingdom, and he was quite worried.

"My subordinates can understand the heart of the minister for the people and the country, but the strength of the Ming Kingdom is not just a strong army, logistics, finance, management of officials, and the Ming Kingdom are all very strong, and these are also important content that determines the outcome of the war.

If the Song Dynasty wants to catch up and fight against the Ming Kingdom, it is bound to be unable to continue to fight against the group of worms and cowards who are embezzling money and perverting the law. Ming Kingdom! "

Why can't Chen Kangbo think of everything Yu Yunwen said?

It's not that he can't think of it, he just thinks that it is too difficult to do all this.

If nothing else, a large number of people can be offended just by rectifying the government, and there will be huge resistance.

Only Wang Anshi has done this kind of thing. Wang Anshi fought against the privileged class with all his courage, and wanted to restore the decline of the Northern Song Dynasty. .

Now, if you want to fight the official rule, it is equivalent to becoming the second Wang Anshi. The probability of victory is far lower than the probability of failure, and even if he wins in the end, he is likely to become a martyr and be killed by the emperor as Chao Cuo.

So how many people are willing to charge the emperor as a thug?

Anyway, Chen Kangbo is not very happy.

"This kind of matter is of great importance. After returning, you can make suggestions to His Majesty and see how His Majesty decides."

Chen Kangbo decided on the matter, and the meeting was almost over. The next thing was to make their own conclusions. After returning home, they would write a report and hand it over to Zhao Tan, asking him to make the most appropriate judgment.

Lu You didn't say much at the meeting, that is to say, he echoed Chen Kangbo's opinion, and expressed that he should take it easy for Yu Yunwen's too radical action plan.

But to be honest, he didn't believe that the Southern Song Dynasty could accomplish this kind of change. If it could be accomplished, Wang Anshi had already succeeded in those days.

The reason is that it cannot be solved.

To be successful, several prerequisites are required.

Referring to the successful case of the Ming Kingdom, we need a strong emperor with powerful force and great prestige, a group of capable helpers who wholeheartedly cooperate with the emperor, a persistent action target, and a rather powerful executive agency.

If nothing else, let's talk about the emperor, can Zhao Tan compare with Su Yonglin?
Even a politician of Chen Kangbo's level was speechless by Su Yonglin, and Lu You felt that the two were incomparable after seeing that aura.

If the Southern Song Dynasty can't solve this problem, it is doomed to be impossible to complete other tasks. If these things can't be completed, what else can we talk about against the Ming Kingdom?
Go and eat some rice!

Lu You was thinking this, and suddenly, Yu Yunwen spoke again.

"The Ming Kingdom is really strong, and there are indications that even if they won't go south in the short term, once the Yellow River project is completed, and they really divert the Yellow River and the Yellow River is no longer infested, they will definitely want to go south."

"So, what do you think?"

Chen Kangbo narrowed his eyes and stared at Yu Yunwen.

Yu Yunwen hesitated for a while, then pursed his lips and took a deep breath, as if he had made great determination, and said, "We can't incite the riots of farmers and workers on the construction site. Why don't we do it ourselves and destroy the dam to delay the construction period."

When Chen Kangbo heard the words, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Lu You was taken aback.

"Yu Gong! This is absolutely impossible!"

When Yu Yunwen turned around, he looked at Lu You angrily.

"No? Why not?"

"This...is this too much?"

Lu You looked ugly and said, "The destruction of the Yellow River dam is a man-made breach. Once the Yellow River breaches, how many people will be drowned and tragically killed by the flood? Don't you know this kind of thing?"

"I know."

Yu Yunwen nodded: "That's why I suggested that, destroy the dam, cause a breach, delay the construction period of the Yellow River, consume the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and buy time for the Song Dynasty. The more time, the greater the possibility that the Song Dynasty will eventually win and restore the Central Plains!"

"But...but...this is too vicious, isn't it?"

Lu You said in a trembling voice: "Once the Yellow River bursts, life will be devastated, this... this is impossible!"

"Wuguan, you are wrong."

Yu Yunwen stared at Lu You and said, "The Ming Kingdom is an enemy country, and the Ming Kingdom sent troops south to attack the Song Dynasty, killing the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, occupying the city, destroying production, and forcing the Song Dynasty to pay the annual coins, all of which they did. Do you think these are right?"

Lu You was stunned for a moment, then shocked.

"I...I didn't say that!"

"In that case! Ming is an enemy country! Isn't that right?!"

"This this……"

"Since it is an enemy country, we must fight against it by any means. Moreover, with the strength of the Ming country, if we can't buy more time, one day the Ming country will go south again, will the Song Dynasty be able to fight? At that time, you and I will both be ministers of the subjugated country. Eat the king's wealth, share your worries for the king, and for the great Song Dynasty, there is nothing that can't be done!"

Yu Yunwen gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice: "Destructing the Yellow River dam is the most effective way, it is enough to make the Ming Kingdom in a hurry, and nothing can be done!"

"But...but so many people...are they going to drown in vain?"

Lu You whispered: "Yu Gong! What's wrong with the people of Li people on both sides of the Yellow River?"

Yu Yunwen was silent for a while.

"The mistake is that they live on both sides of the Yellow River, and the mistake is that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, who are concerned with the concept and achieve great things.

Lu You couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped the table and shouted angrily: "In just one thought, hundreds of thousands of people! This is a small festival? Yu Gong, counting 10 people! Can you bear it?!"

Yu Yunwen remained silent and did not look at Lu You.

Chen Kangbo stood up and looked at Lu You.

"This matter, Your Majesty Liberty decided after returning to the dynasty, Wu Guan, don't say more, and, Wu Guan, between the two countries, all kindness is the kindness of women, and those who achieve great things must not be shared by women. Benevolence."

Lu You looked at Chen Kangbo in disbelief.

"Do you think so too? Can you bear it?"

Chen Kangbo looked away, was silent for a while, sighed, and spoke slowly.

"As Chen Kangbo, I can't bear it. As a political affairs officer of the Song Dynasty, I have no choice."

Lu You looked at Chen Kangbo, and then at Yu Yunwen, as if something in his heart that he had been insisting on suddenly disappeared.

He seemed to have never known the two people in front of him.

Even though these two were once the main battle faction fighters he greatly admired.

At this moment, Lu You suddenly had a bold idea.

That night, he returned to his room and wrote a note to carry with him, and secretly stuffed it with Wang Qi when he met with Wang Qi the next morning to discuss the itinerary.

Wang Qi was calm at the time, and after leaving the Sihaiting Station, he opened the note.

I saw the words "I want to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Shangguo, I have important matters to discuss, and I ask the king to arrange for me".

Lu You wants to see Su Yonglin?
Wang Qi was quite surprised. After thinking about it, he felt that this matter was not something he could handle, but it also did not belong to the scope of diplomacy, so he did not hand this note to his immediate superior Chen Guangyuan, but directly through the channel of Skynet Army. Enter the palace and ask to see Su Yonglin.

The Skynet Army spies always asked Su Yonglin first, so he quickly squeezed out the time to summon Wang Qi, and got the note that Lu You stuffed to him from him.

"He wants to see me?"

Su Yonglin put down the note in his hand, thought for a while, and asked, "Did he give you the note in private?"

Wang Qi shook his head.

"In the morning, I went to Sihai Pavilion to arrange a return trip for them, and made a final confirmation with them. After confirming, Lu You slipped this note into my hand."

"That's it."

Su Yonglin nodded, remembering some of Lu You's behavior and the questions he had asked previously reported by Wang Qi.

"He should know what it means to hand this note to you and send it to me."

"I think so too."

Wang Qi opened his mouth and said: "Once this matter is exposed, even if he just came to the chairman for a cup of tea, his family's three clans are not guaranteed, he took such a big risk to ask the chairman, of course, not just for a cup of tea, he may I have something very important to tell the chairman."

"What are you talking about?"

Su Yonglin smiled and said, "Could it be that he was attracted by Daming and wanted to join Daming?"

"Not impossible."

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Judging from Lu You's performance during this period, he is the only one among the three main envoys who is willing to talk to me about domestic affairs in Daming.

Among the other two, Chen Kangbo did not talk to me at all, while Yu Yunwen had limited conversations and showed great distrust of Daming. Only Lu You was different. "
