Song Beiyun

Han Qi is not in a hurry, he just needs to go to recuperate for a few days, count the days, this morning's mutiny, the news can reach Chang'an within two days, at most 20 days, the prince will be completely defeated.

From Han Qi's point of view, if this prince can be more calm, he will definitely be a first-class power in the world in the future, and he can even be said to be able to take over Song Beiyun's class.

But he is only in his teens, his temperament is not restrained enough, he is flamboyant everywhere, and he takes many problems for granted.

This is not a good thing. After thinking about it this time, he probably won't get any benefits. With Song Beiyun's temperament, he will not easily let him off just because this is his son.

Han Qi looked at the second master with pity, and the second master was frightened by him: "Do you think that father will sanction the Liao country?"

"Sanctioning or not sanctioning the Liao Kingdom is no longer a matter for the prince to consider." Han Qi said softly: "The prince remembers to prepare his luggage these days."

"Oh, Mr. Han really hurts people." The second master shook his head and said, "Since Mr. Han doesn't like me so much, then I want to see what will happen to me."

"It's good to imitate the reform of the Song Dynasty. But the original intention of the reform is against the general trend, and there will be no good results. The Liao Kingdom still has 20 years to live. If the prince is still obsessed with no regrets..." Han Qi Suddenly laughed: "I'm afraid..."

Han Qi is not afraid, he will kill himself if he has the ability, let him have the courage to see if he dares, he is indeed impulsive and impatient, but a smart person is still a smart person after all, he dare not kill himself, this time, to put it bluntly, is just one time To test, to test his father's attitude.

But still the same sentence, he still knew too little about his father, to this point, he probably thought that his father's status was bought by spending money to buy officials.

Not to blame him, Han Qi saw him and thought of the days when he was in his teens and 20s. In fact, in his core, he was also fearless. Even after being activated by the late emperor, the first thing he did was to compete with Song Beiyun.

It was only later that I realized that even if Emperor Liao used him, it was actually Song Beiyun's opinion.

In short, time never speaks, but it can answer everything for people.

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the second day after Han Qi was placed under house arrest, the news of Er Ye's coup spread to Chang'an and was placed on Song Beiyun's table.

He pushed the secret letter in front of the third master who was having a meal while making a proof. The third master just glanced at it, but raised his head: "I dare not tell my mother."

"You are gone, still thinking about this?"

"Father, the child is not a material for sitting in the mountains and rivers. It doesn't mean that. It is still interesting to solve the formula. But if the mother finds out, she will be furious. Whether it is the Liao Kingdom or the Song Kingdom, it has nothing to do with me. If you can't become an emperor, you can starve to death."

"How do you deal with the second child." Song Beiyun raised his head and glanced at his stupid son: "You are really the stupid son of the landlord's family."

"Second brother, in fact, there is no malice. He told me a long time ago that he just wanted to prove that the tiger father has no dogs, but he has left all the big things to you, and he can only go this way. You can't Deal with him."

"How can I do that? If you don't deal with it, you will break the rules." Song Beiyun frowned slightly: "Just like your elder brother said, the more my son, Song Beiyun, the less he can do outrageous things, if he does, he has to bear it. Heavier punishment than ever before, otherwise your father and I have revolutionized for 20 years, wouldn’t it be a fucking waste?”

"Father... the second elder brother belongs to the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, you can't kill him..."

"You still protect him." Song Beiyun frowned: "They are about to drive you off the throne."

"But that's my second brother, you can't kill him anyway."

"Actually, he didn't deserve to die. This kid is smart and saved himself a little bit. If he really kills Han Qi, I really have nothing else to do." Song Beiyun sighed: "Tomorrow I will go to Liao Kingdom."

"Ok."

Hearing that the second brother was not in danger of life, the third master was relieved, anyway, he didn't care if the throne was not the throne, but if the second brother lost his life because of this incident, it really wasn't worth it.

Although he is also an incompetent emperor, he is an emperor after all. He knows that there are some things that even if his father doesn't want to, there is nothing he can do. , but by that time, the Liao Kingdom will probably be really over, and there will be no chance of even going to the negotiating table with Da Song.

But what does it matter? I am afraid that my mother's wish for the eternal life of the Liao Kingdom will be difficult to achieve.

"What is father going to... deal with second brother?"

"Little bastard is disobedient, of course he needs to be beaten up." Song Beiyun put away the secret letter and said with a smile, "Send it to your cousin to help him, and use bricks to sharpen his mind."

"Brother Huan, that's good, that's good. The two of them also have a caretaker."

"Okay, stop talking, I'll report to your aunt."

"I'll go with you." The third master closed the notebook: "Otherwise, my aunt will be sad."

After Jin Ling'er heard the news, she almost fainted when she heard the news. She never expected that her son would rebel, and he also executed a large number of important court officials.

Growing up in the court, Jin Ling'er knew how serious this matter was, but before she could speak, the third master hurriedly explained.

When she heard that her son was not rebellious, she was relieved and looked at Song Beiyun: "Are you going to kill your son too?"

"You asked a terrible question." Song Beiyun leaned against the door frame, lighting a cigarette in his hand: "This is mainly decided by your son. If he really kills, I can't keep him. Do you think I'm not worried? I'm more worried than anyone else. The little bastard just needs to be cleaned up."

"Then you go clean it up." Jin Ling'er let out a long breath: "The son is not the father's fault, it's your responsibility."

"I know, I know." Song Beiyun also sighed, "I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Be gentle..."

Song Beiyun nodded lightly, then walked away with his sleeves wrapped around his sleeves.

Early the next morning, Song Beiyun went to Liao Kingdom in person, and as soon as he left, Fo Baonu knew the news, and came to Song Beiyun aggressively to ask Song Beiyun for an explanation.

But he ran away before dawn, and Fo Baonu only caught the third master who was having breakfast, lost his temper at the third master, and even vented his anger on Jin Ling'er.

However, the chief culprit, Song Beiyun, ran away early in the morning. This operation really overwhelmed everyone. In Jin Ling'er's words, "This person is old and old, but he is cunning and cunning, even more cunning than when he was young."

In the end, Fo Baonu couldn't get angry anymore. If he wanted to be angry, he could get angry at his son for being such a softie. After talking a lot with Jin Ling'er, the third master, who was listening to the whole process, said silently: "Boy The achievements of the Yelu family stand out from the past, and after a thousand years, no one will remember who is the emperor of the Yelu family, but everyone will know the laws of the Yelu family."

"How dare you talk back!" Fo Baonu was furious instantly: "Your throne is almost gone!"

"But baby..."

Seeing that his mother and son were about to fight, Jin Ling'er sighed silently, and pulled Fo Baonu aside: "No one from the Song family is reassuring."

While they were making a fuss on their side, the second master began to take drastic measures to admit newcomers. Most of the original reformers and unification factions were dismissed in place, and most of the new officials were resolutely opposed to the unified royalist party.

That is to say, with the help of Song Beiyun, the revolutionary achievements of the Liao Kingdom were completely overthrown by the second master. Now the whole court is full of disbelief and joy.

But the second master was not so happy, because the army lost contact...

In other words, on the third day after the armed coup, all the Liao troops cut off contact with him.

This made the second master panic, but the problem is that the barracks at all levels are operating normally, but they don't listen to the command of the center at all.

What does this mean?This shows that the military power has been taken by someone else, and the person who took the military power has not even shown up.

But even if he didn't show up, with the intelligence of the second master, he probably knew who it was, but the problem was that he couldn't get in touch with any generals at the first level. Will not work.

That is to say, despite the fact that the second master is having a lot of trouble now, he is actually a polished commander, an empty shell.You can ask someone to overthrow you anytime, anywhere.

And the more terrifying thing was yet to come, he was restricted from moving.

That's right... the leader of the military coup was restricted from moving. How did he find out? That day he planned to go out of the city to go to the barracks of the city defense army in person, but he was stopped at the gate of the city. The city defense soldiers had a firm attitude Some people refuse to let him go out of the city, everyone else can, but he can't.

At this point, he suddenly realized one thing, that he might be controlled.

He hurriedly went to the place where Han Qi was under house arrest, but Han Qi didn't see him because he was unwell. The second master almost went crazy, he walked back and forth outside Han Qi's house arrest anxiously, until Han Qi's book boy came out, Holding a letter in his hand.

"My lord, this is what my master asked me to give you, saying it is your family letter."

"My family book?"

The second master opened the letter, and there was only one line on it: "Stay where you are, and wait for disposal."

Seeing that font, Second Master's heart suddenly cooled down, but he didn't want to bow his head to fate, he got up and said to the followers around him: "Call your cronies! Guard the palace to the death."

Chapter 925: Rain on February 20, 9

When the autumn rains first fell, it was when the Mid-Autumn Festival was slightly cool, and the sky was dark and gloomy.

Inside the Liao Kingdom's palace, everything seemed to be heavily guarded. It had been three days, but there was no movement from the outside world.But the second master's hanging heart has been hanging there all the time, not daring to relax.

He knew that there were a lot of eyes and ears here, so he supported a group of his own dog legs in the past two years, and these dog legs really came in handy at this time, which also made him feel at ease.

He is still very flustered now, because he was completely blinded by the situation outside. Although he didn't understand why he suddenly chose to retreat to the palace as a stupid move, the problem is that he just did it. Now that he thinks about it, it is indeed Some are not calm and rational.

But the problem is that the deal is done now, and he doesn't even think about what will happen when the time comes.

But one thing is certain, no one in his current situation will be calmer or better than him.

It's just that the biggest problem now is his isolation and helplessness, but now he seems to be under house arrest.

He didn't know when someone would come from Chang'an, and he didn't know who it would be, maybe it would be his uncle.

If the third brother came, it would be easier, because what he did was to consolidate the third brother's throne, at least his father couldn't drive him off the throne so quickly.

But what if...

He didn't dare to think too much about some things, for fear that if he thought about it casually, it would become true.

When he woke up in the morning, seeing that it was still early outside, he didn't seem to be surprised, but he let out a sigh of relief, after all, this was another day for him.

After sitting in the room for a while, feeling hungry, he ordered people to prepare some food, and then washed up under the service of the maid.

After eating something casually, he changed into his clothes and went to the study room. After all, he still had to do his daily homework. After so many years, he had become a habit. A piece of experience.

But as soon as he entered the study, he suddenly felt an inexplicable depression. The guards around him looked a little weird, and his cronies disappeared without a trace.

He walked to the study with surprise, but as soon as he entered, he found a person sitting on the dragon chair. That person was eating, and he was looking at the experience and strategies he had written these days.

The second master didn't see clearly at a glance, and was instinctively angry, after all, not everyone can sit in that chair.

But when he continued to walk two steps inside and saw clearly who was sitting on top, his knees softened at that moment, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Father..."

Song Beiyun raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but he didn't speak. He just continued to review his homework and swallowed the last piece of rice cake along the way.

After the maid took away the bowls and chopsticks, Song Beiyun put down his homework and looked at his son who knelt down and dared not look up.

Neither father nor son spoke, and the second master's face was covered with white hairs. He didn't know how his father got into the palace, let alone why there was no one who informed him of the whole process.

After a while, he saw that his father didn't speak, so he looked up cautiously, only to see that his father was reviewing the memorials hoarded in the past few days with a vermilion pen.

And the second master didn't dare to move, just knelt like this, and knelt for several hours until the sky brightened outside, it seemed that it was almost noon.

He didn't move all morning, and the second master couldn't feel his legs anymore, but he still didn't dare to disturb his father. Although he thought his father's abilities were average, the education he got from his mother was actually very good. One of the best among peers.

At this time, Song Beiyun finally dealt with the memorials that had been accumulated for several days. He put down his pen and raised his head. He took a sip of the hot tea handed by the maid, and then waved his hand to let the maid back down.

The lights in the study were turned on and the door was closed, leaving only their father and son in the huge space.

"What is politics?"

Song Beiyun asked suddenly, Second Master raised his head and opened his mouth, but lowered his head again.

"Huh?" Song Beiyun frowned, "Why didn't you answer?"

"Father wants to teach me a lesson, so I will teach him a lesson, because since my father asked, he thought I was wrong, and since I was wrong, nothing I said would help."

"Oh, what you mean is that you are right, but I pressed your head to force you to admit your mistake?" Song Beiyun laughed: "It's your father and I who are wrong?"

"My child dare not..."

"Politics." Song Beiyun shook his head: "You are really young, you can see but you can only see. I ask you, what is politics, and you will tell me that it is a game of chess, but what is it? , how to play, what rules, you don’t know when you ask.”

"Yes……"

"You launched a coup, imprisoned the reformists, and activated the old-fashioned ones. In your opinion, you just want them to fight me, right?"

"My child...is..."

"Personnel is politics." Song Beiyun picked up his teacup and took a sip: "On the surface, personnel arrangement is nothing more than an arrangement. Each position is assigned a relatively suitable person, just like the building blocks you played with when you were young, simple and clear Directly. But, have you thought about what happens after the personnel incident?"

"Have……"

"Yes? Then why don't you know what politics is?" Song Beiyun asked aggressively: "Personnel and affairs seem to be all kinds of people, but you have to know one thing, that is why all of them started their positions and supported a certain What is the motivation for a job and not supporting a job. This involves the inextricable and intertwined interests behind the personnel."

The second master lowered his head and nodded.

"The most intuitive expression of the interest relationship is the political form and political means. What is politics? Politics is the struggle of disputed rights, right and right. What is right? Power is the ability to obtain and distribute benefits. What is interest? and develop the survival resources of a person or a group. In the present and for a long time to come, the interests will tend to move closer to the people with the highest status, the strongest background, and the strongest strength in society, and the combination of these three contents is personnel affairs. question."

"Yes... the child has been taught."

"Personnel issues are sensitive. It is because it starts with identity, involves power, and its core is linked to interests. The competition for interests is politics." Song Beiyun knocked on the table: "Now you understand where you are wrong Yet?"

The second master lowered his head and dared not speak.

"You may not understand yet, because of the environment in which you grew up, you have not been in touch with these things deeply, and it is also my fault that I have not been able to teach you well in these years." Song Beiyun patted himself on the shoulder: "The fault on your body is due to me. Eighty percent."

"My child dare not..."

"Do you know why I have been refusing to unify Song and Liao? It is because personnel cannot be reconciled. There are huge interest groups in Liao and Liao. In other words, one imperial court cannot accept two sets of teams. Who will go up and who will go down?" Song Beiyun chuckled lightly: "Maybe they wouldn't say anything when I was still alive, but once I am stepping down, can you suppress these interest groups that are about to move?"

"Looking at it now, you can't." Song Beiyun said with a sigh: "What really affects the unification is not the culture and economy between Song and Liao, but just a huge interest pull."

"You have pushed half of the court officials down now, and the group behind them will not let you go, and the rest of the people you pulled up will resist desperately in order to protect their own interests. The final result is Endless internal friction. Therefore, in political struggle, it is not enough to shovel one person. It is necessary to shovel out its entire chain, dig out the radish and bring out the mud, and not let anyone go. So why is the political struggle said to be cruel and dark? Well, because the butt determines the head, no matter where your butt sits, even if you don’t do anything, your head may move.”

"My child didn't expect this layer..."

"And do you think it's over with a group of old-fashioned people? The interests of them are not unified, and they must be contended for. Within two years, they will divide again. Some will stick to their positions, and some will seek cooperation. Politics is either black or white, and if the old-fashioned position is there, then other people will naturally join the reformist camp and continue to charge forward, and the groups on both sides will not let you easily handle it anymore, and will take you out of the way , let you become a ruler with only status but no status. Is it easy to be an emperor? What do you think?"

To be honest, the second master was really shocked. His father grew up in his image as the idiot who tied paper kites for everyone at home, cooked, played tricks, played ugly, made children laugh, and was scolded by his wife. man.

But now when he uses a different face, the politics that could only be described in the sentence "the water here is very deep" are dismantled into pieces by him in a few words, broken into pieces and fed over.

That is to say, the father in front of him is not the same person as the father in his cognition and the father in the rumors, but the Great Song Dynasty of the United Association, who is above tens of millions of people, who promises everything, is not The emperor is better than the emperor's Song Beiyun.
