Chapter 740 Wu Yong: I am really a master of tricks, making everyone laugh...
"Auntie, I'm going to the academy!"
In Fan Tower, Shishi finished today's work neatly. After reporting to Aunt Yan, he happily put his book bag on his back and went out to ride on the pony.
Seemingly stimulated by Shishi Cong's appearance, the number of horse dealers has increased recently, and Shishi also bought a small pony to replace the small donkey he rode in the capital.
At this time, she skillfully shuttled through the busy traffic, cleverly avoiding the shops that were damaged by the rioters, and did not take the remote roads where thieves were infested.
"During this period, Daming Mansion has become increasingly chaotic..."
"Actually, with my current martial arts skills and my beginner's strength training skills, I am not afraid of these at all. But if the senior officials don't let me show off, my aunt will be worried!"
In fact, Shishi was a little bit ready to become a heroic little heroine, but thinking of the care of adults, she arrived at the academy with her little pony, not forgetting to lead it into the back door, otherwise it would be tied to the back door.
Outside, it could be stolen.
This time there is no need to climb over the wall, teachers and teachers go all the way to the lecture room area.
Compared with the first Sui'an Academy in Bianjing, this second academy has a larger area and more lecture rooms, but the current number of students is very small.
The teacher was very unhappy with the high officials. It was really inappropriate for such a good teacher to have no students willing to attend his lectures.
“Today we talk about the ‘Sleeping King’ Emperor Muzong of Liao Dynasty, Yelv Jing.”
However, when he heard the official's voice coming clearly from the lecture room, the teacher immediately put aside his distracting thoughts and listened with concentration along with everyone in the room.
Li Yan looked outside the lecture room, smiled slightly, and then looked back in front of him.
The figures below listening to the lecture are mainly Sui'an Yiqi, Lu Junyi, Suo Chao, Hua Rong, Shi Qian, Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng.
Everyone, including Zhu Wu, must continue to learn. Even if he can stand alone, he still has to make continuous progress and surpass his past selves and cannot slack off.
In addition to these familiar faces in the first issue, there are several more.
For example, Ling Zhen studied firearms, Xiao Yanqing followed Lu Junyi, and Xu Ning and Zhang Qing.
Xu Ning followed Lin Yuanjing to Daming Mansion to suppress the bandits, while Zhang Qing followed Zhang Bofen to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing to wipe out the bandits. Now that Zhang Bofen has returned to Bianjing, Zhang Qing, relying on his youth and strength, immediately came to Daming Mansion to help.
I didn't meet any Mingzun disciples, and I happened to catch up with the start of classes at the academy.
At this time, he felt that he had come at the right time, because in just a few days, he had learned a lot from what his brother said, and he felt that he had suddenly become enlightened, and he also enjoyed the literary things that he didn't like before.
"Yelüjing, Muzong of the Liao Dynasty, was the fourth emperor of the Liao Kingdom. His predecessor, Yelujing, Shizong of the Liao Dynasty, was killed in the Huoshendian Rebellion. Yelvjing, who had no right to inherit, succeeded to the throne."
"This person likes to drink and has no regard for state affairs. He drinks heavily from night to day and often sleeps during the day. The Chinese call him the 'Sleeping King'. He drinks and has fun at night, stays up all night, and then falls asleep during the day, with political affairs on his mind.
Afterwards, isn’t he the ‘Sleeping King’~”
"This Emperor of Liao was also fond of hunting. He hunted regardless of the season, whether it was cold winter or midsummer. As long as he was happy, he would go hunting. The government was left to the officials of the Han Dynasty to take care of it. However, due to his improper position and suspicion, he harmed people's lives and abused them.
Torture.”
"He was the most cruel to the people around him, and he often tortured and killed him. In the end, he was killed by the servants and the cook while he was drunk."
At this point, the following people whispered: "It looks like Zhang Fei!" "It's better to say that alcoholics are like this, have a bad temper, abuse their servants, and eventually get the backlash!"
Shishi shrank her head when she heard this. She didn't drink herself, but she thought of sister Qingzhao, who also liked drinking very much, and she didn't feel sick after drinking.
Do you want to give me some advice? But as a matter of personal preference, I’m afraid I won’t listen to what others say...
However, she quickly thought that when she met sister Qingzhao the day before yesterday, she was different and had a charismatic temperament.
"Maybe without my persuasion, sister can stop drinking too much!"
Just when the teacher's worries turned to joy, Lu Junyi had some regrets: "This was the Taizu who was in power during the Liao Muzong period. It would have been better if we had taken advantage of this person's stupidity and captured the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun!"
This was a good topic. Li Yan took advantage of the situation and asked: "Do you think that if we sent troops to the Song Dynasty back then, we would be able to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun?"
Everyone whispered among themselves, and Hua Rong said: "I think there is great hope. Although the Forbidden Army now claims to have one million, its real combat strength is probably not as good as the 150,000 strong army during Taizu's period. With the military strength of the Song Dynasty at that time,
Taking advantage of the civil strife of the Liao people and the stupid king, why couldn't he send his army north to recapture Yanyun?"
Others also agreed and felt that there was a great opportunity.
Only Shi Qian and Yan Qing were good at observing words and expressions. From the tone of Li Yan's question just now, they felt that this person might have the opposite attitude.
Sure enough, after everyone finished the discussion, Li Yan said: "My opinion is that the war can be won, but Yan Yun is difficult to win."
"You must know that during the 'Sleeping King' period, the Liao Dynasty was inevitably turbulent, but the Song Dynasty had just been established, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was not destroyed, so it was also internally unstable."
"On the other hand, the Liao Kingdom is no longer a purely foreign nation. It itself inherited the system of the Tang Dynasty and has many legacy from the former Tang Dynasty. The Khitan Kingdom was also established earlier. After it was Sinicized, it became a dual empire. Under such a system, it achieved military victory over the Liao Dynasty.
There is still a huge distance between us and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun."
"This is also the reason why when Empress Xiao came to power, orphans and widowers were still able to win, and in turn invaded the Song Dynasty."
Everyone sighed after hearing this, but Xu Ning and Zhang Qing became interested and said in unison: "Brother, why don't you talk about the Chanyuan Alliance?"
Li Yan smiled: "The Chanyuan Alliance...there are more topics to talk about. I can't finish it in a few lectures, and there are many weird things in it!"
For example, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty arrived at the front line, but he could not move the frontier generals. A certain general with a force of 100,000 troops could not move his troops.
This general is called Wang Chao, Wang Deyong's father, Wang Jiying's great-grandfather, and a former official of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty.
The Song army that originally had the upper hand, because Wang Chao's 100,000 troops in Dingzhou disobeyed military orders and were not dispatched, Song Zhenzong suddenly became afraid. He did not dare to push too hard, and was worried that Wang Chao would simply surrender to the Liao Kingdom at the critical moment. In addition,
Later, the supply of food and grass was also somewhat unsustainable. As he was originally focused on defense, it was logical that he finally chose peace talks because "Zhenzong unified the army in Dingzhou, with Fu Qian in front and Wang Chao behind, both of whom were stupid and mediocre.
Misleading national affairs."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The key is that this kind of military commanders who truly support their troops and respect themselves can actually have a good ending. Logically speaking, Wang Chao made such a big mistake.
In other dynasties, the entire family was executed, but he remained an official. After his death, he was granted the title of Duke of Lu and the posthumous title of Wukang. The same was true for Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi's father and son.
On the other hand, military generals who were loyal to the imperial court were falsely accused and unjustly killed, which fits the saying of later generations: "When the enemy accuses you of being disloyal, you'd better really have it!"
Of course, it is difficult to explain this kind of thing clearly. After the Song Dynasty is destroyed, it will not be too late to discuss the gains and losses of the previous dynasty. Li Yan thought for a while and said: "I will analyze the Chanyuan Alliance in detail later, but today I will talk about it.
wrong."
Everyone was refreshed, and there were many discussions about this alliance within the Song Dynasty. The scholar-bureaucrats were rude when discussing politics, while the military officials regretted that they did not have the opportunity to make achievements on the battlefield.
In the brother's mind, is this covenant right or wrong?
Li Yandao: "My personal opinion is that it is meaningless to simply discuss the rights and wrongs of the Chanyuan Alliance, because there are too many unknowns. When Song and Liao fought hard, the victory, defeat, and life and death were indeed difficult to estimate. Each one insisted on his own opinion.
The situation is quite normal.”
"And any alliance can be accepted as a means of accumulating strength and preserving strength. The Han Dynasty had the siege of Baideng, and the Tang Dynasty had the Weishui River Alliance."
"The key is to see what they are doing next. The Han Dynasty rested for decades and accumulated strength to fight the Xiongnu to avenge their previous humiliation. The Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks in just four years and brought their former troops to Chang'an City.
Jieli Khan captured him and danced..."
"With the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song Dynasty's ambition to regain strategically lost territory was dissipated in the beauty of peace. The Sui coins were earned back through mutual market transactions, but without the Yanshan and Great Wall defense lines, the fault tolerance was too low, and even a slight mistake
, it will cause an irreparable disaster!"
"This is the real fault!"
The Song Dynasty was the only dynasty in Chinese history that was destroyed by foreign regimes. Although Song Huizong was directly responsible, the root problem was still that the Song Dynasty had no danger to defend and opened the door to thieves.
Hearing the vigilance in Li Yan's tone, everyone's expressions became solemn.
One of the men with an eye-catching beard also murmured: "The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is equivalent to the gate of the Song Dynasty. Without the gate, thieves will naturally be able to come straight in. Daming Mansion has a fence around it, so it can be done."
It has some resistance effect, but now it still looks like this Wentian Wuxi, alas!"
"At this point, I want to talk to you in detail about the economy, culture and military of the Liao Kingdom..."
Li Yan taught for another half of the class before making a conclusion: "It is better to believe in books than to have no books at all. What I said can only be used as a reference and cannot be followed blindly. You can go back and think more... Okay, that's the end of today's essay.
Go practice martial arts."
Everyone stood up and saluted, and walked in groups of twos and threes toward the martial arts training ground for physical education classes.
Zhu Tong walked at the end. After thinking again and again, he turned back, clasped his fists at Li Yan on the podium and said, "Dean!"
Li Yan looked at this man: "What? You don't fit in here?"
Zhu Tong shook his head: "I get along very well with everyone. It's just that I came here to deliver a message on the orders of the military advisor. After staying for so many days, I still have to say goodbye!"
There was reluctance in his tone. During the past few days in the academy, he felt much more at ease than in Baishawu.
"No matter what the reason for coming here is, we are looking for like-minded people so that everyone can feel comfortable together."
Li Yan also admired Zhu Tong, but did not insist on staying: "Then go and say hello to King Chao Tianwang and Military Advisor Wu for me. They are much stronger than the original bandits. After the purge of Hebei Green Forest, I hope they can really do something good."
He robbed the rich and gave to the poor, acting chivalrously and righteously."
"Thank you, Dean! I'm taking my leave!"
Zhu Tong clasped his fists, left the lecture room, packed his luggage, and left without looking back.
When he was far away from the academy, he didn't waste any more time and worked hard all the way, arriving at Baishawu in the afternoon of the next day.
Lei Heng was the first to notice that his friend had returned, and he greeted him happily: "I was worried that something would happen to you. If the military advisor hadn't pressured you, I would have rushed into Daming Mansion to rescue you!"
Zhu Tong smiled apologetically: "I'm fine, I made Brother Lei worried!"
While the two were talking, they saw a figure of a scribe walking quickly: "Commander Zhu!"
This was the first time Zhu Tong saw Wu Yong looking so impatient. He thought he was also worried about his own safety, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "Military advisor, I..."
"Come in and talk!"
Wu Yong grabbed him and said to Lei Heng: "Commander Lei just goes on patrol!"
Lei Heng left inexplicably, and Zhu Tong was led by Wu Yong to his house. He found that the military advisor was not only concerned, but also slightly panicked. He didn't even take the feather fan that he usually kept with him?
Wu Yong actually realized that he shouldn't lose his cool. This was a taboo for counselors, but he took a deep breath and asked: "When and when did you meet Lin Erlang?"
Zhu Tong thought for a while and said: "It was the evening five days ago. The exact time is difficult to determine."
Wu Yong closed his eyes, and the last chance of luck was gone.
According to this time, when Lin Erlang wrote the letter, Zhu Ding must not have arrived at Daming Mansion!
In other words, everything he did, and even the reactions of the three mountains and six villages, were all expected by the other party...
It’s so insightful!
Even though he had been prepared, an unprecedented feeling of suffocation still pressed in his heart. Wu Yong calmed down and continued to ask: "Have you given me the five hundred taels?"
Zhu Tong said: "The dean didn't accept it, he just smiled at that time... By the way, he also said he thanked the military advisor, but he was unwilling to take this path, and I don't know what he meant..."
"Sure enough, he saw that I was really trying to do whatever I wanted to do, making everyone laugh!"
Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a resourceful person in the world. This Lin Erlang is not from a noble family. How can I be worse than him?"
Wu Yong came from a poor family, and he believed that his wisdom was unparalleled in this class. Even those from wealthy families who had received a good education since childhood were far inferior to him.
But the blow he received this time was really like a blow to the head, because Lin Chong was a martial artist, and in terms of educational resources, he was not much better than him.
While feeling disappointed, Wu Yong still paid attention to every detail and looked at Zhu Ding: "Did you just call him dean?"
Zhu Tong said in a panic: "I should have come back long ago. I have been forgetting the lectures these days. I really feel sorry for the military advisor!"
Wu Yongdao: "You are lucky to have such people as your teachers. How many students did An Academy enroll that year? Were they just like those in Fan Tower?"
Zhu Tong shook his head, showing an angry look: "On the contrary, there are very few students in the academy. I heard from other students that the Han family is going to make things difficult for the academy, and many students have been forced to leave!"
"oh?"
Wu Yong swept away his dejected look and immediately became excited. He walked around on the ground twice. When Zhu Tong noticed it, the feather fan returned to his hand again and began to shake gently: "Xiangzhou Han family...
Ha! The unfairness of the imperial examination is caused by these noble families! In dealing with these wealthy families, it depends on my plan!"
