Chapter 159 Yue Fei discusses the Nine Emperors

Han Shizhong put down the tea bowl, thought for a long time, and then asked cautiously: "In Pengju's opinion, if the Holy One still avoids fighting, what will happen next?"

Yue Fei smiled and said: "The general asked this question. He must have had doubts in his heart at this time. However, I am not the Marquis of Zhuge Wu back then. How can I have everything settled? However, with the power of the treacherous ministers in the court, the Holy One was too cowardly to avoid the battle. If the Central Plains falls, the Central Plains will not be able to defend for a long time. According to my younger brother's thinking, the general will be called south soon, and he will need to pay more attention to the Jin Army's east road. I am afraid that when the Central Plains falls, the Jin Army's soldiers will go all the way south to capture the Holy One. When the time comes, the general will need to defend instead of attack and preserve his strength for future events. As for more detailed plans, they should be determined according to the situation and cannot be generalized."

After hearing this, Han Shizhong wondered: "Why do brothers insist that the Central Plains is difficult to defend?"

Yue Fei smiled mysteriously and said: "General, you will know the general trend if you wait and see."

Han Shizhong asked again with doubts: "It is difficult to say what will happen in the future, but it has become a foregone conclusion. I think my brothers must have some high opinions. In your opinion, since Emperor Taizu, we have experienced the Nine Emperors. Why? We have been oppressed by the Tartars for more than a hundred years in the Song Dynasty. How can we regain the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties?"

When Yue Fei heard this, he immediately screamed in his heart, how could Han Shizhong still ask about addiction? Although he knew the history of Song Dynasty quite well, he asked him such a big question, but how should he answer it?If you don't say it deeply, I'm afraid it will make them dissatisfied. If you say it deeply, I'm afraid it's really just nonsense.So I couldn't make a choice for a while, so I lowered my head and fell into deep thought.

Han Shizhong didn't say a word, waiting for Yue Fei to speak. For a moment, the room fell into dead silence.

After a long time, Yue Fei raised his head, his eyes flashing, as if he had made up his mind and said: "What I said today is my personal opinion. I ask the general to forget it after hearing it." Seeing Han Shizhong nod, Yue Fei continued: "Since the general asked about the Nine Emperors, I will tell you one by one. Emperor Taizu wore a yellow robe and replaced him with Zhou Dynasty. He conquered the Song Dynasty with one punch and one kick. He was truly a talent that only appeared once in a thousand years. If it were not for the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, Counting the foolish kings, all the people in the world have suffered great disasters, leaving us with no one in the Central Plains. How can the Liao Kingdom, Xixia and other tribes disturb our borders? And Emperor Taizu used his own efforts to save the world from decline, which is really The most powerful among the Nine Emperors. He released his military power with a glass of wine, collected all the vassals and towns in the central government, and took over the power. He administered administrative orders to the world and deployed troops to the borders. Since the founding of the Zhongshu family in the Tang Dynasty, all government orders issued by the emperor Discussing with important ministers, how could the great achievements and broad vision of Emperor Taizu be achieved by ordinary literati? Later, even Zhao Pu, the famous founding prime minister, was dismissed as prime minister. All government orders and military affairs were done by one person. Civil servants and military generals , are all his chess pieces. If Emperor Taizu lives to this day, I am afraid that both Liao and Xia will be destroyed. How can we talk about the Jin people?"

"It's a pity that Emperor Taizu declared Shanling collapsed shortly after the founding of the Song Dynasty. Emperor Taizong was a good general who had fought with him for many years, and he could naturally be called a wise king. However, his talent and vision were far from that of Emperor Taizu. Although he was arbitrary and arbitrary like his brother , but there were also some foolish moves. He used the power of destroying the Han Dynasty to revive Yanyun, but unexpectedly his army was exhausted and he was completely defeated. However, when he was in power, he concentrated power and changed the system to make the decree feasible for the world; When the imperial examinations and civilized governance are promoted, capable ministers will be born to govern the world. Warrings will not stop, natural disasters will occur, prisoners and deprivations will come, but the people do not know the soldiers; floods, droughts, locusts are all over the world, but the people do not think about chaos. Things that are far away will suppress them. Fu Rui, Min Farmer, was tested for merit. He gave lectures in order to learn more, and he did not commit arrogant disobedience to persuade admonishers. Therefore, Emperor Taizong had inherent faults, but it was difficult to cover up his merits, so he could be called a virtuous emperor. He only conquered Liao twice and moved the country. Fundamentally, they were repeatedly defeated by the Liao, which made the country frightened when they heard about the Liao, and eventually became a serious problem for a century."

"When Emperor Zhenzong came to the throne, his ability to govern the country was not as good as that of Taizu Taizong, nor was he as eager to open up frontiers. However, he was diligent in political affairs and made good use of good ministers and generals, so there was the rule of Xianping. It revived the economy of the Central Plains, and the people also You can live and work in peace and contentment. The increasing authority of Zhongshu's subordinates and the Privy Council will be conducive to the governance of the country, and it will naturally be open and fair. However, the Prime Minister and Privy Council have great power and oppose the imperial power, so Emperor Zhenzong disturbed the balance of the court with different opinions. However, this can definitely make When the courtiers are in opposition, it is difficult to invade the imperial power, but it also creates a basis for later generations to have loyal ministers and traitors under one roof, arguing about nothing, making it difficult to implement loyal words. Later, the alliance of Chanyuan was established, and the east was sealed and the west was worshiped. The country's power became increasingly difficult, and the people Taxation is also painful. In his later years, he even used the "five ghosts" to whitewash peace, which was a big mistake. Therefore, Emperor Zhenzong reluctantly became the master of Yingwu. When he first came to the throne, Prime Minister Li Hang thought that he was smart and would do more. , reported several disasters and disasters to put an end to his extravagant thoughts, and what he saw. When the alliance was established in Chanzhou, the Zen ceremony was completed, and the auspiciousness was so great that the heavenly books were repeatedly sent down to guide the people to pay tribute, and the kings and ministers of the country were as sick as crazy. "

"After Emperor Renzong came to the throne, the Xixia Kingdom was established. Natural disasters occurred simultaneously, which was really not the great fortune of the country. However, Emperor Renzong did not take it seriously. He appointed virtuous ministers and inspired reforms. Only then did Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi manage to depose the emperor clearly, suppress luck, and pay tribute. The reform measures of "electing and selecting officials, equalizing public land, supporting farmers and mulberry trees, repairing military equipment, reducing corvee labor, expressing favor and trust, and emphasizing orders" began to lead to the grand occasion of the Qingli New Deal.He also resisted Xixia on the border several times. Although he was finally defeated and the "Qingli Peace Treaty" was signed, the Xixia country was deprived of its finances. The people had no tea to drink and expensive clothes. They complained so much that they did not dare to peek into the Song Dynasty for decades. border.In terms of political affairs, Emperor Renzong gave great power to the civil and military ministers, and established Yanguan to limit their power. Although it was a delegation of power, the emperor actually controlled the power of hundreds of officials better than previous generations.Throughout the reign of Emperor Renzong, he was thrifty, benevolent and forgiving, out of his nature. Whenever there was a flood or drought, he would either pray secretly in the court or stand in front of His Highness.As for the Xia people who invaded the border, they were prevented from leaving the country; the Khitan and Chongqing alliance were given additional coins.During the 42 years of his reign, the officials were lazy in their administration, and they were disdainful of those who were incompetent; the criminal law seemed to be relaxed, but there were many fair people in prison.The country is not without evils and fortunes, but it is not enough to accumulate the body to govern the world; the government is not without villains, but it is not enough to overcome the good spirits.The compassionate heart of the monarch and his ministers, and their loyal and loyal administration were the foundation for the Song Dynasty to last for more than a hundred years.Therefore, when he died, "all the people in the Yan Kingdom cried, far and near." Even Daozong of the Liao Dynasty also mourned: "I have not seen the war for 42 years," and even erected his tomb to commemorate him.This is the time when Emperor Renzong was at his peak.Gong has done nothing, he is tolerant and wise, the world is Yongxi, the eight wastelands are peaceful, scholars and farmers are happy in their work, and the civil and military are loyal and good.The truth is: The sage had his way in the Tang and Yu Dynasties, and the sun and the moon were selfless and the heaven and earth spring.He should be the most virtuous king of Shoucheng in the Song Dynasty. "

"Emperor Yingzong succeeded Renzong in his great power, but the two palaces were not equal, and there were disputes over Puyi. Although he was a wise man in governing the world, he was disturbed by his illness and never achieved great success. Therefore, as the ancients said, it is the destiny of heaven. No one can disobey it. Emperor Yingzong, with his wisdom and wisdom, followed the order of succession and was determined to give in. If he spent his whole life and died to fulfill the throne, wouldn't it be destiny? When he comes to power, his ministers will report it. He must ask about the stories and ancient stories of the imperial court. Whatever is appropriate for governance, every decision is made based on the opinions of the ministers. Even though the disease cannot accomplish much, it has caused hundreds of generations to admire the high winds and chant the virtues, how prosperous it is!"
