It can be said that the outcome of the peace negotiation has always been Zhao Bing's worry.
?b?i?q?u?g?e ．
cnHis previous judgments on the failure of the peace negotiation were all based on what he knew in his previous life and his judgment of the current situation. However, there is a saying in the world that it is better to be afraid of anything less than ten thousand. And all his preparations and deployments were based on the failure of the peace negotiation.
It was certain that if something happened to him, not only would he be 'escorted' to Mongolia, but he would also become the most miserable example among all the travelers. Unless he lived to be a hundred years old to see Zhu Chongjiu overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, he would be imprisoned by the Mongols for the rest of his life.
Therefore, after the self-discussion and the mission, Zhao Bing has been living in anxiety, wanting to know the results as soon as possible so as to gain time and opportunities to respond. However, the strength of the palace is too weak, and the intelligence department is a primitive one, lacking both professional staff and
Despite Zheng Huchen's best efforts, he was unable to place informants in the mission, making it difficult to obtain the required information immediately. He could only act in silence - there was nothing he could do in a hurry...
"They're back, what's the result?" Zhao Bing asked anxiously when he heard Ying Jieyan talking about the return of the delegation.
"What do you think the result will be, Your Highness?" Ying Jieyan did not answer, he just looked at Zhao Bing and asked.
"The peace negotiation must have failed!" Zhao Bing thought for a moment and said. He also saw that the old man was trying to divert his attention, and at the same time he was testing himself. However, he also realized that the old man had always been worried about his 'ability'.
I was confused and suspected that there was an expert guiding me behind my back, so I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of being 'alone' to give it a try.
"How come you can see that?" Ying Jieyan asked, still smiling.
"This..." Zhao Bing raised his head and looked at the old man's face, which was calm. He couldn't tell his inner thoughts at all, so that he felt that the old man came to the house out of curiosity and was sincerely teasing him, not because of any national interests.
, "It's very simple. It's a long way to Lin'an, and there are many checkpoints of the Yuan army on the way. Even if you go back and forth by boat with smooth sailing, it will take ten days."
Returning in a day, it can only mean that the peace terms were flatly rejected by the Tatars, and they were blocked back before they even reached Lin'an; for both of them, the apprenticeship ceremony was a great ceremony, but the ministers' thoughts were not here today, and they hurried into the palace just after it was completed.
Mostly this is a response after negotiations fail. Sir, is the student right?"
"Yes, just as His Highness said, the negotiation failed, and the circumstances and reasons are almost exactly the same as what His Highness said before. I just don't know if the result of today's discussion is the same as His Highness expected." Ying Jieyan listened and was stunned for a moment.
He said that he did not expect that a child could analyze the results from these two places that no one paid attention to. Just now he complained about the harsh world and the courtiers did not take his apprenticeship ceremony seriously, but from his own
In just one question, he got a completely different answer. Not to mention his ability to predict future events, at least his ability to analyze and judge was better than many courtiers who claimed to be smart.
"Haha, it's just a fluke." Zhao Bing said with great relief in his heart, but he felt strange when he saw Ying Jieyan's dejected look, "Why aren't you happy, sir? The peace talks have been fruitless. At least we don't have to go to Mongolia as hostages anymore, isn't it good?
?”
"Alas, the failure of the peace negotiation will not be an easy escape for His Highness, but it may not be a good thing for the Song Dynasty." Ying Jieyan sighed as he looked at Zhao Bing, who was beaming with joy.
"Sir, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Bing was a little strange. He knew clearly that it was a good thing to escape death, but he felt extremely sad, as if he regretted not pledging money to Mongolia.
"Your Highness, if the peace negotiation is successful, although we have to risk our lives to surrender Mongolia, we can gain a foothold for the imperial court. As long as we manage it well, we will have a chance to make a comeback. But now the Tatars ignore the **** in the country and
They still categorically refuse to negotiate peace with our country, indicating that just as His Highness said, the Tatars will come back when the situation eases a little, and they will kill our Song Dynasty before it is too late, so that our country may lose the last chance to revive, so the peace negotiation will fail in the long run.
The harm far outweighs the benefit. Bi qu ge???
Completely different, as if he had aged a lot instantly.
"Sir, I cannot agree with what you said!" Zhao Bing frowned and said, secretly thinking that the old man originally wanted to sacrifice himself for the country before agreeing to be his master and go to Mongolia. He was not a 'talent'
Attracted him, but you are willing to die for your country, but you can't drag yourself to be buried. And then you think about it, it's not right. It is obviously the old man who wants to accompany you to death. But at this critical moment, you must not let the old man have this thought.
, otherwise it will not only be useless to your own plan, but also disrupt the situation.
"I have discussed the reason why peace talks are difficult to achieve with my husband, so I won't say more." Zhao Bing saw the doubt on the old man's face and continued, "Under the current situation, it is known to everyone that the Tatars want to destroy the Song Dynasty.
, but many people in the DPRK turned a blind eye and still had illusions, placing their hope in the mercy and charity of the enemy. And even if the Tatars were forced to agree to negotiate peace with our DPRK due to the situation in the country, it would only be a delaying tactic, but our DPRK did not
Therefore, we have lost our vigilance and enterprising spirit. Once the enemy attacks again, I am afraid that everything will fall apart in an instant. This is tantamount to picking grains from the fire and bringing about self-destruction. Instead, we have given up the idea of ​​​​negotiating peace and are willing to fight with the enemy.
After a battle, there may be a chance for rebirth!"
"Alas, I'm old!" After Zhao Bing finished speaking, he looked at His Highness steadily for a while, and then sighed. He thought of how he was very ambitious when he was young, practicing literature and martial arts, and thinking of the northern expedition to the north of the Yangtze River and the restoration of his homeland.
He entered the official career with aspiration; he also personally led the army and fought bloody battles with the enemy on the city walls; he also spoke uprightly and wrote letters to impeach traitors in an attempt to revitalize the court. However, he had experienced three dynasties and had been in office for thirty years, and he was used to intrigues and deceitful officials.
, lofty ambitions are hard to achieve, and my blood is getting colder. I retired from official service and lived in seclusion in the countryside. Today, I suddenly realized that the comfortable life has exhausted my fighting spirit, and my heart can't help but be filled with sadness, and I feel like a hero has grown old.
"Old Ji Fufeng still has a thousand-mile ambition, how can you be decadent!" When Zhao Bing saw the old man's appearance, his heart skipped a beat. What he said was not serious. Why did he make the old man look like this?
I expected him to give me advice and serve as a consultant. Now that he dropped the rake out of frustration, wouldn’t it be bad luck? He quickly encouraged me.
"Haha, I understand what your Highness means. How can I retreat to the countryside and be a minister of the subjugated country at this time of national crisis?" How could Ying Jieyan, an old man, not understand the meaning of Zhao Bing's words, and said with a smile?
, "As long as His Highness does not give up, I am willing to do my best to assist Humerus and help His Highness realize his great ambitions!"
"This...student has a big thing to ask for sir's help right now!" Ying Jieyan's face changed in an instant, which made Zhao Bing a little uncomfortable. However, considering that he has experienced many hardships and many things have already been put aside, it is difficult to
It affected his original intention, and he just lost his composure just because of his feelings. But since he offered to help, he couldn't let it go, so he scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Haha, Your Highness is worried about how to break away from the court?" Ying Jieyan lowered his body and chuckled.
"Oh, how did you know, sir?" Zhao Bing asked in surprise.
"Now there are children singing in the streets and alleys, 'On the sea, when the wind and rain are strong, it is difficult for the king and the little king to be king; when the waves are high and the boat is dangerous, it is difficult for the king and the little king to become a couple..."
"Where did you hear this, sir?"
"Don't you know, Your Highness? I'm afraid that the nursery rhyme was written by Your Highness, right?" Ying Jieyan touched His Highness's head and said in a joking manner.
"Hehe..." When Zhao Bing was told, he lowered his head and smiled sheepishly, obviously acquiescing. He knew that he was a soft-spoken person, and it would be difficult to persuade the Queen Mother. Liu Fu and Jiang Wanzai would not accept their suggestions.
He never made it clear, so he had no choice but to make up a nursery rhyme and ask Chen Dun to teach it to a few children, and then sing it in crowded places, hoping to attract attention and reach heaven.
"Although His Highness's move may confuse people's hearts, I can still understand His Highness's painstaking efforts. However, if you want me to help, you have to ask Your Highness to explain it in detail!" Ying Jieyan looked at His Highness's expression and knew that he had not guessed.
Wrong, but I also secretly admire that at such a young age, he actually thought of using this to influence the government and achieve his own goals. He is very bold and careful. You must know that if he is exposed at this time, even if he is a prince, he will not be able to escape heavy punishment.
"Well, whether the student's plan can be successful or not depends on the teacher. We will discuss it in detail when we return home." Zhao Bing thought that since he has become his master, he is his family regardless of ancient or modern times, and depending on his
Even if he disagrees with his character, he will probably protect his own interests and will not leak the matter. Of course, he is also the most suitable candidate at the moment...
In the eyes of modern people, it is very ridiculous for Zhao Bing to use the form of nursery rhymes to convey his opinions in order to achieve his own goals. However, nursery rhymes once dominated people's spiritual world in ancient times and even affected the trajectory of historical development to varying degrees. However, to say that
It seems that it is due to the lack of science. Many complex natural and social phenomena, especially accidental, coincidental and frequent events, are often difficult to explain. This has led to the fact that traditional Chinese culture has always been full of mysterious factors. And the ancients have always
Some people believe that gods sometimes use nursery rhymes or folk songs to hint to the world about future good or bad fortunes.
Throughout Chinese history, since the beginning of clear written records, there have been many prophecies throughout the dynasties, often spread in the form of verses or nursery rhymes, allowing people to understand but not speak directly. Before the Ming Dynasty, all prophecies
Nursery rhymes are almost all political nursery rhymes, which predict or reveal the rise and fall of dynasties, the success or failure of historical figures, as well as the precursors or verifications of social wars and natural disasters. Therefore, nursery rhymes often attract the attention of those in power. But they can be done before they happen.
