The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 387 Attack
Zhao Kuangyin's condition is getting worse.

And in such a cold and windy winter, the Liao people once again began to plunder the border of the Song Dynasty, and even the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to get a share of it.

When the news reached the capital, all the ministers were a little panicked. Why did the Liao people attack their Great Song Dynasty at this time?

The ministers of the DPRK and China were a little panicked. Now that the situation in the DPRK is unstable, and there are enemies raging at the border, they are at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.

But now that the sage is seriously ill, they dare not tell Zhao Kuangyin about it.

This morning, King Jin and King Wu were sitting in town. When they heard that the Liao people were attacking them, they were shocked. Then King Jin looked at the officials and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" ?”

When King Jin asked this sentence, King Wu frowned slightly, and then asked not to be outdone: "Now is the time when the country is in crisis, and I hope that you ministers will be good talents to save the country."

Many ministers looked at each other, and then began to discuss.

"You two lords, I feel that the reason why Liao people dared to attack my Great Song Dynasty must be that my Great Song Emperor was critically ill and they wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob them, so what we have to do is to block the news that the Holy One is seriously ill, and even say that my grandson is seriously ill. Song Tianzi's illness suddenly recovered, so he is afraid of us, how can he attack me Da Song again?"

A thin-looking official stood up and expressed his opinion. After he said this, other officials immediately stood up to refute: "Bah, do you think the Liao people are fools? They already know the news of the serious illness of the Holy One." , You said that the Holy Majesty suddenly recovered and they believed it? Besides, the people of Liao are now in a time of food shortage. Even if my son of the Song Dynasty is not seriously ill, they will still plunder the border areas of our Song Dynasty according to the usual practice. Your suggestion doesn't work at all."

The official who was refuted frowned slightly, feeling that it was embarrassing, so he retorted unceremoniously: "My suggestion won't work, what about your suggestion, don't you just stand up and refute other people's suggestions?"

"Hmph, who said I didn't? I think the most urgent thing is to organize people to resist the attack of the Liao people, fight them, fight against them, and see if they dare to attack our Song Dynasty. Between the two countries, only strength is the most important thing." the most important."

The two ministers talked a lot, Jin Wang and Wu Wang and others were undecided.

Now the sage is critically ill and may die at any time. They will fight for the throne at that time, and they can't do without soldiers and horses. If they send soldiers and horses to resist the Liao people, whose soldiers and horses are appropriate to send?
I'm afraid that no one wants to fight the Liao people with the soldiers and horses under their control. In this way, they will fall into a stalemate again.

There are soldiers and horses at the border, and the soldiers and horses at the border do not belong to any of the princes. They are only responsible for defending against foreign enemies, but there are not many soldiers and horses at the border. Can they withstand the enemy's attack? There are no soldiers and horses in the capital Support, no one has a spectrum in their hearts.

At this time, it is the time when the righteousness of the family and the country is compared with personal self-interest. If their selfish desires overcome the righteousness of the family and the country, then they will have to bear the consequences, which may be the consequences of destroying the country.

Liu Wei deeply understands this situation, but he doesn't think that the princes in the court are willing to give up their capital of fighting for power and profit for the sake of the people of the Great Song family.

The ministers in the court are still arguing, but no one can come up with a solution that everyone can accept.

King Jin's heart sank slightly. At this time, he was still somewhat worried. He was worried that the soldiers at the border would not be able to resist the Liao people. When the Liao people approached the Central Plains, wouldn't the land of his Central Plains be in flames of war again, and people would be devastated?

Wouldn't the stable life established in the Song Dynasty for more than ten years be destroyed?
After a long time, King Jin turned his attention to Liu Wei: "Master Liu, what do you think about this matter, and how do you think our Great Song court should respond?"

Liu Wei pondered for a moment, and said: "My lord, the Liao people are not very strong now. As long as our Song Dynasty wants to fight, we will definitely be able to defeat them. The Liao people should be very clear about this, but why do they dare to fight when they know this?" What about using soldiers against me, Song Dynasty?"

Liu Wei didn't answer King Jin's question directly, but wanted to ask a question instead, and all the ministers in the court felt that what Liu Wei said was very reasonable. Some time ago, the Liao people were seriously damaged, and their strength was greatly weakened. Quite a few, but they still dared to use troops against them, they were really extremely daring.

"What does Master Liu mean?"

"The Liao people must have seen that my Great Song has no energy to resist them, and all my talents are so unscrupulous, but why does my Great Song have no energy to deal with them?"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he glanced at King Jin and King Wu, and finally stopped his gaze on King Wei. King Wei knew best about the Liao people's attack on the Song Dynasty. Now that Liu Wei saw it like this, he felt trembling all over. After a while, it seemed that Liu Wei's eyes had directly seen through his heart.

There is no lack of understanding people in the court. Those who stand in the camp know better what Liu Wei is talking about. Now that the court is infighting, they have no experience to resist the attack of the Liao people. It's just that everyone knows these things Clear, but can't say it.

Can't say.

Everyone looked at Liu Wei, feeling a little worried, worried that Liu Wei would say this all of a sudden, because from Liu Wei's words, he was a little bit blaming everyone for their infighting.

The whole hall suddenly fell silent, but Liu Wei's voice seemed to be still reverberating, and the cold wind came in through the wide door of the hall, making one feel an unprecedented coldness.

Liu Wei suddenly sighed softly: "If the Liao people break through our Great Song defense line, and then go straight to me in the Central Plains, the people along the way of our Great Song Dynasty will be slaughtered, but please don't forget that the people just want to survive, but they can't survive." If someone doesn't want them to survive, what do you think they'll do?"

Everyone is thinking about this question, but no one can answer Liu Wei, or dare to answer Liu Wei.

It is normal for officials to force the people to rebel, and the inaction of the court may also force the people to rebel.

"Why do we become officials? Is it for ourselves to live a good life?" Liu Wei looked at everyone and asked again.

Everyone couldn't help lowering their heads. They really wanted to live a good life for themselves, but they couldn't say this, because the fixed concept since the year before last was that when you become an official, you have to be the master for the people. Otherwise, what's the use of being an official? ?
Being an official does not require you to glorify your ancestors, but to actually do things for the people.

Although this seems a bit lofty, it has been deeply rooted in this way since ancient times.

Liu Wei's words were still echoing in the hall, King Jin frowned slightly, and King Wu Zhao Dezhao was a little excited suddenly, wanting to be excited.
