Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 452 Moving to the South 4
The corner of Tang Ge's mouth twitched violently, Nima, is there a difference between moving the capital and making a tour?It's just changing the soup but not the medicine, Wang Xiu is so cunning, it's like stealing the beam, and he couldn't help but shouted: "Kaifeng must never be abandoned."

"Master Yun: There are things that can be done, and things that cannot be done. But I know that the captives are victorious, and they are bound to come south. What can I do, why can't I do it. Those who can do it must use their strength to resist the enemy. For that, don’t be arrogant.” Wang Xiu smiled lightly, and said playfully: “Besides, the empress and the officials are just patrolling, and there is a water army in the southeast under the jurisdiction of the Division of Guards and Infantry. With the Central Plains as a buffer, the water army is guarding it. Wouldn't it be better to be restrained by the captives and let them look at the river and sigh?"

"My lord Wang's intentions are good, but we know how the son of heaven is going to visit the southeast and how the subjects in the north will deal with themselves. Could it be that they can't be captured by captives? People's hearts will be scattered." Tang Ge said disapprovingly.

What he said also made some sense. Once the imperial court moved south, the soldiers and civilians in the north would inevitably panic and panic.The Jurchens may also use the excuse to go south again, and the situation they just paid a huge price for will fall into the flames of war again. This is the last scene everyone wants to see. He has doubts about Wang Xiu's purpose of moving south.

"If you gain something, you will lose something. Now the situation is difficult. The captives are entrenched in Hebei and peeking at Tokyo. There are no soldiers to fight in the court. Only by using the advantage of the navy to block the golden horse from going south in exchange for time, and retreating to advance, will there be a future." It can be done.” Speaking of this matter, Wang Xiu has been paying attention to Qin Hui, and very much hopes that Qin Hui can come out to help.

Qin Hui was also very contradictory in his heart. He always had a skeptical attitude towards Wang Xiuli's purpose of moving the capital, and the idea of ​​coercing the emperor to make the princes still linger in his heart.Of course, he could feel the Jurchen's great pressure on Kaifeng. After Wang Xiu left that day, he took out the map of counties and counties in the world and looked at it for almost a night. If someone else proposed, he would of course agree, but at this time he still hesitated decision.

But Wang Xiu's eyes flickered, he had to express something, sighed helplessly, and said out of the shift: "My lord Wang played Nan Xing, but it is also the best policy at this time."

As soon as the words were finished, Sun Fu, Tang Ge, and Zhang Shuye's complexions darkened. Wang Xiu was overjoyed. He was quite satisfied with Qin Hui's timely words. Although the old man was very slippery, he spoke after all, which is very valuable.

However, when Qin Hui changed the subject, he said in a deep voice: "The two palaces are patrolling outside at the same time. This is a big matter, and it cannot be done completely. I think the king will come to Beijing soon, so you might as well listen to the king's advice before discussing it."

It will be Wang Xiu's turn to look gloomy, while Sun Fu and the others look happy. The Grand Marshal's Mansion represented by Zhao Gou is different from Sun Fu and the others. Participating in the redistribution of power after returning to the court will certainly not allow Wang Xiu to act on his own will.

Wang Xiu was even more aware of Li Gang's defense against him, Fan Zongyin and his inseparable relationship immediately felt a little headache, Qin Hui is really a slippery guy!

Zhu Lian also had an exquisite heart, and understood that Qin Hui would not be offended by either side, and that Zhao Gou's return to court would be extremely detrimental to Wang Xiu, so she thought, "What Qin Qing's family said is reasonable, so we can discuss it after the king returns to Beijing. Come here today! If there is nothing wrong, Wang Qing's family will stay here for now, and the princes will leave the court."

Wang Xiu was left alone, Sun Fu, Tang Ge and others were full of doubts, but they had no choice but to retreat. Qin Hui felt relieved and was the first to leave. He really didn't want to get involved.

After the four left, Zhu Lian said to the left and right: "Send the official's family back to the inner court to rest."

Wang Xiu looked at Zhu Lian coldly, full of thoughts, Zhu Lian kept him in front of Sun Fu and others, only Qing Jun was by his side, it was definitely his big taboo, some things were vaguely understood and made public, why? It must be made public.

After a long silence, Zhu Lian said, "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me beforehand?"

Wang Xiu was taken aback by the question, and said cautiously: "It's too hasty." The matter has come to this point, and regretting is of no use. A sense of loss.

"Don't speak these official words to me. Qingjun is not an outsider, so don't worry too much." Zhu Lian really complained to Wang Xiu. For such a big matter, she felt that she had put her heart and soul to Wang Xiu, and even entrusted her fate to him.Wang Xiu, on the other hand, tended to be independent, so she didn't let her know in advance, so she was caught off guard.

"It's a last resort. I wanted to negotiate a peace and settle the matter, but moving south is inevitable. Alas, miscalculation, miscalculation, it seems that I was really wrong!" Wang Xiu shook his head and sighed. He admitted that some things were not done properly. The depth of the question is not enough.

Seeing Wang Xiu's dejected look, Zhu Lian was both angry and funny. Fang's grievances just now were thrown out of the sky in an instant, and he said softly: "It's them who are wrong, what's wrong with you, moving south is good for stabilizing the country. , but you are too impatient, and they are suspicious of you."

Wang Xiu looked at Zhu Lian behind the jade curtain in puzzlement, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.

"The officials are so stupid!" Zhu Lian scolded Wang Xiu softly with a smile, got up and lifted the curtain and went out.Lightly moving lotus steps down the jade steps, he said as he walked, "Could it be that you really can't see why these people are trying so hard to oppose you?"

Just as Wang Xiu wanted to say something, he shook his head and remained silent. It was a cliché. Can you come up with something new? Lao Tzu is so untrustworthy. The one on the throne is my son, and no one can usurp the blood of the enemy. .

"Since Yizu and Taizong conquered these more than [-] military prefectures, ceased their military operations, cultivated scholars well, and established a system, the Daxing Zhenzong, Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong, Zhezong and the two emperors of the nine generations of emperors were the most steadfast What is the national policy implemented? I don’t think I need to say more.”

Wang Xiu looked at Zhu Lian, and said calmly: "It's just people's hearts. Some people are still worried that if I don't enter the two mansions, they will rectify the king's army and horses tomorrow, and hand over the military power to the shufu."

Having said that, he is not afraid at all, those generals have been with him through life and death, he has long been famous, not to mention Li Bao, Shangguanqian and other trusted generals, that will definitely respond to everyone, that is called low-key luxury.

"The members of the king's army can serve as the front office of the palace." Zhu Lian appreciated Wang Xiu's promise, but Wang Xiu's complete abandonment of military power made her feel uneasy, walked to Wang Xiu's side, and said softly: " This is also based on retreat, there is no other way, there can be no more political disputes, the court really can't stand the internal friction. Officials, as long as you and I join hands, why do you have to risk the world's scholars?"

Wang Xiu stared at Zhu Lian, enjoying the fragrance, and ripples appeared in his heart.What Zhu Lian said is not unreasonable. In an era when literati are in power, the means of solving things is above the court, and they care about reputation and political qualifications, rather than mastering military power.
