Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 216 Time is the Cruelest Weapon in the World

Zhao Huan left.Left Chengde Palace.

He is in a bad mood today.It wasn't because of the general's affairs, nor was it because of the Zhu family's army being mixed with sand.

This is so normal.

Since he had made the choice to go to the imperial conquest, he naturally knew that he had to face such a dangerous situation, and he had already prepared himself mentally, even realizing that death is the country.

He is the emperor of the Song Dynasty. If there is no such awareness, how can the people of the Song Dynasty have such awareness?
He doesn't care about being assassinated.

The reason why he was in a bad mood was because his teacher was sick.

Zhong Shidao is 75 years old, and King Qianliqin rushed to the battlefield on Hedong Road without stopping. The vitality of Zhong Shidao has been exhausted by this long journey.

Therefore, this illness has not recovered for several days. In fact, Zhao Huan was already prepared for Zhong Shidao's death, because the first time he saw Zhong Shidao, he saw an old man.

It has been rare since ancient times, if the disease of cultivating the teacher's way goes away, it will be a joy and a funeral!
Zhao Huan comforted himself in this way, and continued to wander in the Datong Palace as if he had no soul, and Zhao Ying, the Minister of Internal Affairs, knew by his side.

Zhao Ying is afraid, when did the official family look like this?
When the Jin soldiers besieged the city, the officials were all in high spirits!A decisive battle to the end!Regardless of life or death, the appearance of not giving up until the end!
Now he is so depressed that even a small stone on the road almost makes Zhao Huan fall down.

In this way, Zhao Ying remembered the official family when she was a child, running around, and occasionally falling over.He stood by to protect him, lest the official family at that time would fall down.

"Where's the official house? Where's the official house!?" Hu Yuan hurried over from a distance, his face flustered.

Hu Yuan saw Zhao Huan who was pressing the road under the palace wall, and he didn't care to pay his respects, and shouted loudly: "Guanjia, Shaobao Zhong is awake and wants to see the official family!"

"Really?" Zhao Huan rushed to Hu Yuan like a gust of wind, and asked loudly.

He didn't wait for Hu Yuan's answer, turned around and ran towards the Royal Hospital.

The emperor's mianfu of the Song Dynasty is very tired when running, and he has to lift the hem, or he will really fall down, so people in the Song Dynasty are very elegant, and few people run like Zhao Huan, like a man. Like an old hen.

Zhao Huan also didn't care about his image, and ran into the imperial hospital.

"I'm here. Shaobao. I'm here." Zhao Huan grabbed Shidao's hand and said eagerly.

Seeing Zhao Huan, Zhong Shidao smiled, his pale lips were bloodless, and his face was like gold paper.

"I'm afraid the old minister won't see the Paris that the officials told me about. The old minister will also not see the day when the official canonize Yue Fei as emperor. But how can one emperor canonize another emperor?"

"The officials also see that the old minister is confused, and fool the old minister."

"Don't talk. Don't talk. Take a rest, get a good sleep, and tomorrow will be fine. Tomorrow morning, I will push you to Juyongguan. We still have seven prefectures in the mountains that have not been recovered. We only take the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun I’m going down to Kyushu beyond the mountains.” Zhao Huan said comfortingly in a slightly anxious voice.

Zhong Shidao lay on the bed, shook his head with difficulty, and said, "Of course, the old minister knows about the old minister's body. We won't be able to survive tonight."

"Hu Yuan! Do you have Liaodong old mountain ginseng? Hurry up and make a bowl of ginseng soup!" Zhao Huan shouted loudly.

Hu Yuan ran in, and he didn't know how to explain to the present supreme being that the old mountain ginseng soup was not suitable for the symptoms of cultivating the way of being a teacher, and indiscriminate use of medicine would only make the way of growing a teacher go faster.

He didn't dare to speak, so he shut up and stood there wondering what to do.

"Hu Yuan, go out." Zhong Shidao asked Hu Yuan to leave. He was in the five declines of heaven and man, his whole body was exhausted, and there was no cure.

"Officials, you are too lenient. You should be more ruthless when dealing with some enemies, but I say it's useless. It's hard to change the nature of the country. The officials remember that the enemy is the enemy. They are dead. It won't cause trouble for the officials." Zhong Shidao said tremblingly.

Zhao Huan couldn't help nodding, of course he knew what Zhong Shidao was talking about.

"Also, since the officials say that the pile of maps and books are the secret system of the Song Dynasty and should not be publicized. They have been handed down from the Taizu, so they must be passed down according to the inheritance. The military system was written by a veteran. An Neng doesn't know that Isn’t it the military meritorious title of the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties? It’s not easy for the official family to walk, but they must go to the end.”

"The old minister is dull, and he can't see clearly what the future of the Song Dynasty will look like, but the old minister feels that this is the way for my Song Dynasty to go." Zhong Shidao continued.

But Zhao Huan understood.

What kind of talent!That is, the kind of teacher saw through him, how many things did he take out of his sleeve?
Such a shrewd person, how could he fail to guess?

There are also those military books and strategies, which were not written by Song Taizu at all, and the teacher's way is a civil servant, can he not see it?
Talents who are born in the world, talents who follow the destiny and come into the world.

He is just unwilling to tell the truth about his way of teaching, it's not that he didn't see through it.

Even when he was dying, Zhong Shidao still insisted on his duty as a minister, and he did what the emperor said.

No matter how much Zhao Huan trusted him and how much official position he gave him, he was still a minister.

"Old minister, I hope that our Great Song Dynasty will produce a wise emperor and a good emperor, and lead our Great Song Dynasty to create the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties again! Reappear the demeanor of swallowing the world. I saw the shadow in the officials. This is enough."

"This is the legacy of the Zhong family written by the minister. It is considered finished. It is a lesson summed up by the bloody lessons of the Zhong family over the years. Since no one from the Zhong family has joined the army, this book is dedicated to the officials by the old minister." If it’s useful, then use it, if it’s useless, then just set it on fire.”

"The Record of Excellence, I can't finish it. The heroes of the world are bustling with each other, how can it be written in a booklet? It's because the old officials are too greedy, but it can be used as a reference for the officials." Zhong Shidao fumbled for a long time, and took out Two books were published and put in Zhao Huan's hands.

Zhao Huan nodded repeatedly.I took the letter.

"Don't cry, I'm like a child, I'm 75, and it's a joy or a funeral to leave." Zhong Shidao said sadly.

I am an official with a kind heart, what an emperor needs is cruelty, not benevolence.

That's useless.

Zhao Huan was already sobbing, he could only nod his head non-stop.

When he didn't see Zhong Shidao so dying, he never felt that he would be so heartbroken.

In fact, he had already made preparations for Zhong Shidao's death, including being canonized as the king of Guang'an County in advance, and also taking out the world map to talk to Zhong Shidao about those children.

Farming in Paris was indeed in his expectation, but it was really too far away.

From the time when Yu Jia went on his own expedition, he knew that Zhong Shidao might die in the Battle of Hedong Road.

Unexpectedly, when this day came, he was still so sad that he couldn't even speak clearly, only choked up.

Zhong Shidao coughed twice, and continued: "The Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty is the army of Anbian, and the gangster spirit is a bit serious."

"This time, the Western Army and the Western Army just want to stand by, and it's not easy for them. It's nothing more than eating sand in the northwest every day. The Supreme Emperor has used troops for years, and he has been defeated repeatedly. Who is not disappointed? They are also doing it for them. Protect yourself."

"If you can give them a chance, give them a chance." After Zhong Shidao finished speaking, he looked at the official.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "No."

A smile appeared on Zhong Shidao's face, this official should choose some obedient and pleasant words.

Know that the answer you want to hear is this.

He has always wanted the officials to be cruel, but the officials have learned a lot.

"The veterans are all gone, so I can't take care of so many things. Let Shen Cong be more cautious, let Zhang Jun be less greedy, beat his younger brother more, and the officials, have more children. Cough..." Zhong Shidao coughed twice and looked at Zhao Huan with a smile on his face.

"Report! Good news! Captain Yue fought against Wanyan Zongwang in front of the Dabeiguan formation! Wanyan Zongwang was defeated! He has escaped from the mountains!" An orderly rushed into the imperial hospital with a military report in his hands. Outside shouted loudly!

"Shaobao, did you hear that? Shaobao, Da Song has taken back the Sixteen States of Yanyun! It's back!" Zhao Huan said excitedly.

"Da Song, you can have it, the official family. It's Da Song's great fortune." After Zhong Shidao finished speaking, he closed his eyes peacefully.

no regrets.

"what!"

　Note: After arriving, the disease cannot be seen.In October, died at the age of 76.When the emperor came to lay a memorial service, he wept bitterly and gave it to Kaifu Yitong as a gift.Song Qinzong cried because he didn't listen to Shidao Zhong and defended Hebei and other places, and he also cried that he didn't listen to Shidao Zhong and actively defended himself.The time to cry here is that the knife is too sharp.To be a teacher has fulfilled his historical mission and solved his own knots.The war in the north was pacified, and he passed away peacefully.Let's give away some kind of insurance.
