One Piece of Song Dynasty

Zongze said: "At first, someone came to worship Confucius as his teacher, but Confucius didn't see him, so he said he was sick. Before the man could leave the hospital, Confucius was playing the piano and singing in the room, deliberately letting him hear it, so that he would understand that Confucius was not sick, but I just can't see him. I know why because of the etiquette regulations at that time, if you want to become a disciple, you must first be introduced by the teacher's disciples. It is disrespectful to become a disciple without being introduced by the disciples."

Yue Fei smiled: "Confucius was partial, and the rules were set for his disciples."

Zongze continued: "Etiquette is rules and order. Etiquette makes people learn to be temperate and control their arrogance, arrogance, arrogance, and domineering. This is the so-called self-denial. Confucius said that people who are respectful but do not understand etiquette will only work hard. There is no merit; a cautious person who does not know etiquette will only be timid; a warrior who is not restrained by etiquette will make trouble; a forthright person who does not understand etiquette will hurt others."

Yue Fei looked at Zongze anxiously. Zongze ignored him and continued: "Respect, prudence, courage, and straightforwardness are character traits, and they are not faults. But once you leave the guidance of etiquette, you will not be able to achieve good results. So Confucius said again, if you don't know etiquette, you can't stand up. What does that mean? Everything can be ambiguous, but there must be no ambiguity in etiquette." Yue Fei was speechless.

Zongze said earnestly: "Yue Fei, I have high expectations for you. Now the country is in crisis. I can save you once, but I can't save you a second time. If you don't change this problem in the future, you will get into big trouble." of."

Yue Fei cupped his fists and said, "Yue Fei would like to follow your teachings."

Zhao Gou led a large group of people with their families, passed through Taikang and Linying, and walked southwest for many days. On this day, they arrived at the foot of Fangcheng Mountain. In an inn, Zhao Gou received the order from Zhang Jun that Zongze promoted Yuefei to be the commander of the left-behind department in Tokyo. Zhang Jun also reported to Zhao Gou that Huang Qianshan repeatedly seized Zongze's memorials and failed to report them. Huang Qianshan gritted his teeth in anger: "I no longer dare to claim to be Zhang Jun's mentor. Zongze is really an old fool. Isn't it crazy and ridiculous to ask His Majesty to come back at this time?"

Zhang Jun ignored him and recited Zongze's memorial loudly: "The capital is the heart of the world and has a two-hundred-year foundation. How can your majesty neglect it and abandon the enemy's country? In Hexi, Yang Jin's hundreds of thousands of people are willing to guard the capital. In Hedong, Li Cheng is willing to lead one hundred thousand All the retinues of His Majesty have returned to the palace, and millions of village rebels including Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng from Hebei and Wang Shan from Shandong are leading and raising their heels in anticipation of the arrival of the official army."

"Don't forget that Zongze relies on capricious bandits and bandits who are kings of the mountains. Your Majesty will never be able to return." Huang Qianshan interrupted Zhang Jun. Zhao Ding also said: "The so-called rebel army is not only against the Jin soldiers, but also against the imperial court. Once it becomes powerful and forms a prairie fire, it will only cause trouble."

Zhang Jun disagreed: "But in the face of a powerful enemy, perhaps the rebels can share weal and woe with the imperial court and deal with the outside world in unison."

"Zhang Jun, you have to give up your illusions as soon as possible. Thieves are thieves, and it is impossible to share the same difficulties." Zhao Gou sternly rejected Zhang Jun's suggestion.

Zhang Jun was still dubious about Zhao Gou's statement. Zhao Gou ignored him, opened the map, and discussed the plan to build Nanyang. There was no talk that night. After leaving the inn early the next morning, Zhao Gou led the soldiers and civilians to start crossing Fangcheng Mountain. There was an endless stream of people helping the old and bringing along the young.

The team climbed over mountains and ridges, and in the evening they climbed over Fangcheng Mountain, and suddenly it became clear that at the foot of the mountain was the flat Nanyang Basin.

Nanyang is surrounded by mountains and rivers and was called the center of China in ancient times. There are Funiu Mountain in the northwest, Chengshan Mountain in the north, Tongbai Mountain in the east, and Dahong Mountain in the south. The mountains are guarding it for control; the water includes Baishui, Tanghe, and Danjiang; the Yangtze River and Huaihe River are in the east for transporting grain and millet; and the flat land of Kuancheng is available for transportation. To station troops, it is adjacent to Guan Shaanxi to the west to recruit soldiers, to the south to Jinghu and Xishu to collect treasures, and to the north to reject the three capitals to send rescuers. It is indeed a place where Guangwu can rejuvenate.

Zhao Gou looked down at the mountain and was in high spirits. Everyone was also very excited and buried pots to make rice in the mountain temple. It was just past October, and the wind and cold were biting in the mountains. Zhao Gou tightened his fur and looked at the dead leaves blown by the wind, shivering twice in succession. Wu Shaofen, still in military uniform, came over with a pair of chopsticks: "It's time to eat. What are you looking at, Your Majesty?"

"Where's the wind coming from?" Zhao Gou followed her into the temple, then looked back worriedly at the dead leaves swirling in the strong wind.

"This is the wind from Nanyang, coming to greet His Majesty." Wu Shaofen joked in a rare way. Zhao Gou gave a rare smile: "If I can borrow the Nanyang wind, then I will become Nanyang Zhuge Liang."

Everyone smiled bitterly. Zhao Gou picked up the chopsticks, asked Gillian to quickly serve the rice, and invited Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding to sit down and eat too. Before he even picked up his job, Huang Qianshan came in with a flurry of panic: "Your Majesty's Jin Army on the West Route has successively attacked Tongzhou, Huazhou, and Jingzhao Prefecture in Shaanxi Province. It has now passed Shangluo and is invading Shiyan in a large scale to besiege Nanyang." The intention is clear."

"Why is the Jin army so fast?" Zhang Jun hurriedly jumped up with Zhao Ding and Wu Shaofen to check the map. Huang Qianshan said in a strange tone: "That's a good question. Fu Liang, the deputy envoy of Hedong Economic System, defected to the enemy and treason, and the door to Shaanxi was opened. Fu Liang was highly recommended by Li Gang. Once upon a time, Li Gang said that slandering Fu Liang was slandering him. Li Gang, the words are still ringing in my ears, but in the end, Fu Liang rebelled against him. "

"Our Northwest Sixth Route Army is the most powerful. Even if Fu Liang surrenders to the enemy, it will be completely defeated." Zhao Gou still sat there with his head down and wondered. Zhang Jun thought for a while and said: "I have heard that the commanders of the six armies on the Western Front are at odds with each other and are unwilling to help each other. I would like to ask you to send a capable minister to control the Sixth Army in the Northwest."

"Who is suitable to send?" Zhao Gou asked. Everyone discussed for a while, and finally Zhao Ding proposed that Shaanxi's Zhizhi envoy Wang Shu should be strong and control the Sixth Army in the Northwest should be what everyone expected. Zhang Jun also suggested that the commander of the Jingyuan Road Route Command, Qu Duan, was both civil and military and had the highest prestige among the generals of the Sixth Route Army in the Northwest, so he could be the commander of the capital of the royal family. Zhao Gou immediately agreed to issue the decree and appoint him.

"Let's discuss the matter at hand. If our army reaches Nanyang, it will be attacked head-on by the Jin army. Nanyang will not be able to go." Huang Qianshan interrupted everyone rudely. Everyone was startled and were silent. Zhu Shengfei was panting and knocked over the bench at the door and came in: "Spy reports indicate that the Shandong Jin Army is gathering and wants to go south to invade Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

Wu Shaofen and everyone turned around and were surprised again, only to see Zhao Gou still sitting where he was. Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhao Gou put down his chopsticks and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Zhuge Liang of Nanyang is not going to be successful. Sit down and discuss the next step."

Zhang Jun first said: "Our army should enter Sichuan and Sichuan via Nanyang as soon as possible, rely on thousands of mountains and ravines to block the Jin army, and wait for a breather before launching a large-scale northern expedition."

"The Jin army on the west route has passed Shangluo to surround our army. Can Sichuan and Shu still get in? Even if they can get in, do they want the court to give up the wealth of Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Your Majesty, Nanyang is geographically remote and has inconvenient transportation. Once the east and west sides are blocked, the economy will be His lifeblood was completely cut off." Huang Qianshan immediately shook his head like a rattle.
