Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Chapter 160 Betrothal to Han Shizhong

When Yue Fei said this, he paused for a moment. Seeing that Han Shizhong was listening intently, he took a sip of tea and continued: "When Emperor Shenzong came to the throne, he was powerful and exploited, and taxes became increasingly heavy, which led to domestic changes and Jiaozhi rebellion outside. It was actually internal and external difficulties. , the country's national power is declining. However, it can still boldly appoint Wang Anshi as the prime minister, follow the story of Shang Yang's reform in the Qin Dynasty, change the ancestral law, and implement Xining's new law, which is really a great talent. However, the disadvantages of the new law have not been eliminated, and there are concerns The opposition of the old ministers, both at the beginning and at the same time, ultimately made it difficult to implement the method of enriching the country with strong troops and seizing soil. The reason is that they lacked confidence in the new method and did not have the means of thunder, so their talents were insufficient. If it were Taizu in his place When the emperor comes to the court, the new law will be implemented, and the country will become stronger. However, although the new law has not been completed, it has laid the foundation for future generations. Yuanfeng has also restructured the system and eliminated redundant officials, which is a great good. However, his ambition and talent are sparse, and although he has swept the eight Huang's ambitions are hard to match the talents of his ancestors. Fu Bi once advised him not to use his troops for 20 years, but within ten years he used his troops sparingly, leading to the disastrous defeat of Yongle City. Therefore, although Emperor Shenzong was filial by nature, he When he enters the two palaces, he must serve him all day long, even if it is cold or hot. He also has a chance to study with the two kings Qi and Jia in the east palace, and serves as a lecturer for Wang Tao, giving lectures on classics and history. , Be careful to be humble, revere the Prime Minister, seek outspokenness, monitor the privacy of the people, sympathize with loneliness, support the elderly, and encourage the poor. If you don't manage the palace, don't travel and travel, work hard to manage. And use Wang Anshi as the Prime Minister, so that the young crops, Baojia, etc. will all be lost to the market. The laws of Yi and water conservancy have been established. However, the chaos of the Song Dynasty has also started from its beginning, and it has caused ridicule to future generations. It is not the behavior of extravagance, lewdness and cruelty. It is just that those above are eager to seek governance, and those below are tired of asking for governance."

"Emperor Zhezong was in his childhood, and Empress Dowager Gao came to power, so that the new laws were eliminated and the old ministers were in power. Then there were Yuanyou Genghua and Shu Luoshuo's party disputes, which made all the achievements of Shenzong's dynasty. When he was in charge, he rebelled against the old laws. , appointed new ministers and reopened Wang Anshi's new law path, so there were endless debates in the court, but the new law was shelved and fell into party disputes, so there was Shao Sheng Shao Shu. So economically, although the restoration of the new law was called, in fact it was just the restoration of Yuanfeng In the old rules of the year, the new anti-castration law was a policy of enriching the country, but in terms of restraining mergers and other matters, it was a step backward compared to the Yuanfeng period, which completely lost the original intention of the reform. Moreover, when he was in power, he was determined to use troops, although he had successively He defeated Xixia and Tubo and returned them to the Song Dynasty. He also issued edicts to the world and all the barbarians obeyed them. However, the country's power was weakened and it was difficult to continue. Therefore, Emperor Zhezong used his youth to practice evil and Xuanren and Tongzheng. In the early years, Yong Ma and Lu Zhuxian were summoned to stop the young seedlings and return to normalcy. They were promoted to Junliang and opened up a new path. The people of the world were eager to rule. However, under the rule of Yuanyou, many people were benevolent. However, the old traitors of Xi and Feng were not wiped out. But it is a pity that the matchmakers are reused, and the soldiers make false statements, rebel against the previous government, retaliate against the good, and bring disaster to the party. All gentlemen denounce it, and the Song government is in ruins. It is a pity!"

"When it comes to Emperor Huizong, Zhang Dun once said: Prince Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world. However, on the grounds that she had no children and all the sons of Shenzong were commoners, she advocated the establishment of King Duan, Zhezong's second brother, so that he could take the throne as Emperor Huizong. He ascended the throne. After that, the Empress Dowager Xiang presided over the government, and she used the old laws again to eliminate all the new laws during Zhezong's reign. After returning to power, Emperor Huizong became more pro-villain and a distant virtuous minister, and successively demoted Zhang Dun and other virtuous ministers. Cai Jing and other treacherous ministers were re-employed. Although it was called the Xining Reform, it was actually a means of amassing money. Therefore, Cai Jing and others did all kinds of evil, bribed public officials, sold their officials and promoted titles, cleverly created names, increased taxes and gifts, and plundered people's wealth. And Emperor Huizong Regardless of political affairs, he blindly respected Taoism, ignored the emptiness of the national treasury and built palaces and temples, while he indulged in calligraphy and painting, built flower and stone outlines, and squandered all the property plundered from the people. In order to block the way, all the old systems of the previous dynasty were changed, and all edicts were written by the emperor. Hand-written edicts without consultation between Zhongshu and the subordinates are actually unreasonable. During the Xuanhe period, people all over the world were suffering, so Song Jiang, Fang La and others rose up. General Han experienced it personally and knew that it was not the people who wanted to do it. Instead, traitors were rampant and the officials forced the people. Later, Emperor Huizong believed in the plan of Li Liangsi, Tong Guan and others, joined forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and used Tong Guan to attack the Liao Dynasty. He was defeated with dozens of times the strength of the Liao Dynasty. In the end, we had to pay a lot of money in exchange for a ruined empty city of Yanjing in the city of Qiu Ruins and Fox's Den. The general and I both followed Liu Yanqing in his expedition to the Liao Dynasty, but we still remember that when he burned the camp and ran away, more than a hundred soldiers were trampled to death. Is the situation here miserable? After the destruction of the Liao Dynasty, there was no longer a barrier between the Song and Jin Dynasties, so the Jin people went south twice, which was the beginning of the disaster of Jingkang. Emperor Huizong's northern hunt was actually his own fault. Therefore, the reason why Emperor Huizong lost his country was not like this The stupidity of Jin Hui and the violence of Sun Hao were not caused by the usurpation of Cao and Ma. They relied on their own private wisdom and small wisdom to ignore the honest men and approach the treacherous and flattering people. So Cai Jing used the talents of the tyrants and the clever sycophants to help His arrogant, extravagant and obscene ambitions. He indulges in nothingness, worships ornamental sightseeing, and exhausts the people's strength. The king and his ministers are carefree, arrogant, neglectful of state affairs, and are doing nothing for a long time. As for children, they are good at doing things, and they are good soldiers who are diligent and far-reaching. Misfortunes are coming quickly. The country will be ruined and humiliated, and it will be the same as Shi Jin's important nobles. How can it be blamed? In the new state of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Gong still told King Wu that he should not use things that are useless and harmful, and he should not value foreign things but use them cheaply. , Kuangxuan and Zhengzhi were in the Song Dynasty. After the funeral of Chengxi, Feng and Shao, Huizong also committed the disadvantages of these two things? Since ancient times, monarchs have lost their ambitions by playing with things, and have been defeated by indulgence in lust. Few people have survived. Emperor Huizong is even more "Yan, he can do everything, but he can't be the king's ear!"

"When Emperor Qinzong came to the throne, the country was already in ruins and the world was in chaos. Although he was able to use Li Gang first to avoid temporary disasters, his character was cowardly and he had no political experience, so he was inevitably defeated in the end. The late emperor was in the East Palace, but he was missing. Loss of morality. His practice is not good at all in vocal skills and music. In the early days of Jingkang's reign, he was able to correct Wang Fu, Zhu Meng and other sins and get rid of them. Therefore, when Jin people heard about the emperor's inner Zen, they would have the meaning of curling armor and beibei. That's it. It's a pity that the chaos has become irreversible. The emperor and his ministers are looking at each other, and they can't work together to solve the problem. They are worried and have no time to talk about peace. The death of the father and son has reduced the country to ruins. It's really not worth mentioning. also."

After Yue Fei detailed the merits and demerits of the Nine Emperors one by one, he could finally take a breath, drank the tea in the bowl on the table, and looked at Han Shizhong without saying a word.

Han Shizhong fell into deep thought, thinking about the past, his eyes turned red with tears in his eyes, and he sighed after a long time.He stood up and bowed to Yue Fei again, but this time, Yue Fei did not help him and accepted his bow calmly.

After Han Shizhong finished the salute, he said respectfully: "Brothers' great talents are the Duke of Zhou and Yi Yin, but they are nothing more than that. Hearing this, Han was inexplicably ashamed. Han claimed to be loyal, but he was actually stupid. He only knew what was happening before his eyes. How can we understand the changes in the general trend of the world? Brother's words made Han suddenly enlightened. Now I have an unkind request, and I hope my brother will agree."

Yue Fei said: "General, please speak frankly. Pengju will obey."

Han Shizhong said: "It is actually Han's blessing to meet his brother here today. Looking at the world with the eyes of a brother, you can understand the narrowness of today's fight with Ding Jin. In order to make Han some progress in the future, I would like to borrow The power of brothers. Therefore, I want to marry my brother Jinlan. Although this matter is abrupt, it is Han's heart. I hope that my brother will do it and allow Han to be willful." After saying this, he bowed again.

Yue Fei was overjoyed in his heart, but remained calm on the outside, saying: "Pengju has long admired the general's loyalty, but he has never had the opportunity to get to know him. Now that the general has this intention, how can Pengju not agree to it?" After that, Yue Fei said. Zhang Xian was ordered to set up the incense table, and the two of them worshiped heaven and earth, knelt on the ground, and became brothers with different surnames.

After the prostrations were completed, Han Shizhong was 13 years older than Yue Fei, so he was naturally his brother. Yue Fei pushed him to the top and offered tea as a salute. From then on, the two regarded themselves as brothers, and they could have a lifelong relationship.
