Chapter 251: The tail is too big to fall off, the power of Chen country
The whole family was lively and bustling, but Jia Baoyu was sitting alone in the back, surrounded by a cold and low pressure.
Seeing everyone congratulating Jia Lan, Phoenix Egg's face turned red and white, and his heart suddenly became unbalanced.
[Damn, if I had known this, I might as well have...]
Annoyance and dissatisfaction filled Jia Baoyu's heart. With a red face, he gritted his teeth and imagined what it would be like after taking the regret medicine.
A dashing victory, compliments from sisters...
[It would be great if it were me, why not me...]
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the opportunity was in front of him at the beginning, but he failed to grasp it.
It was this that made him feel even more upset.
At this time, there was a commotion on the field, and there were bursts of exclamations from the surrounding spectator stands.
What's going on?
Sister Feng and all the sisters looked towards the arena.
"Are we going to lose? Why all of a sudden..."
Jia Huan's slender eyes widened when he saw the scoreboard on the field.
Jia Lan looked into the arena and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Jia Huan was right. The team that was originally far ahead was suddenly reversed by a huge score. Calculating the remaining time, the defeat was determined.
It is normal for each other to win or lose on the court. The problem is that the team that reversed the score was the polo team sent by Chen Guo to compete!
On top of the tower.
Empress Wu looked up at Emperor Chunzhi, who had a calm expression, and said softly: "It is normal for each other to win and lose on the court."
"I usually have the nerve to brag about how brave I am. What a bunch of losers." Emperor Chunzhi snorted coldly.
"Sometimes the coming of setbacks actually symbolizes an opportunity. I believe that after this defeat, they will be able to guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
"Queen, you have thought of these guys so well. I bet that they will get drunk at Zuiqiong Tower tonight, and after tomorrow morning, they will act as if nothing happened.
, you can play whatever you want."
Empress Wu smiled lightly: "That's why they are eagerly looking forward to His Majesty's teachings. Educating all people is your duty as a king and father, isn't it?"
Emperor Chunzhi laughed dumbly: "The Queen praises me too much. I have been in the palace for a long time, how can I educate them?"
The emperor's tone was full of sarcasm, making the officials behind him break into cold sweat.
King Dongping, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes slightly, looked at the Chen people galloping on the field, and murmured: "The momentum is not good now..."
Emperor Chunzhi hurriedly asked: "Why did Uncle Wang Ping say this?"
King Dongping spoke slowly: "I originally thought that no matter how bad the juniors were, they wouldn't be like this... Alas, Chen Kingdom seems to have become a bit weak in recent years."
Emperor Chunzhi's eyes changed slightly after hearing this, and his face gradually became gloomy.
Wu Shen, the uncle on the side, said: "Has King Dongping been overly concerned? This country of Chen originates from Japan, which is full of martial arts politics. The country is in turmoil. There are many people who are dissatisfied with its rule and resist. The Southern Dynasty, which borders it across the sea,
The relationship is very bad, and you still have too much time to take care of yourself, how can you think of others?"
King Dongping looked Wu Shenyan up and down several times and nodded slowly: "Uncle Guo said, maybe I am worrying too much..."
Realizing that King Dongping was hesitant to speak, Emperor Chunzhi showed an expression of humbly asking for advice: "If Uncle King Dongping has seen something, I hope you can give me some advice... May I ask what Uncle Wang is worried about?"
"Perhaps I am really overly worried, but..." King Dongping said after careful consideration: "As my uncle said, there is an enemy country in the east of Chen State, and it borders our Liaodong and Beidi countries in the north. We can only rely on our country to avoid being attacked from both sides.
situation.
However... please do not underestimate it. The rule of the country by warriors seems to be a repeat of the tyranny of the Five Dynasties. However, in the hometown of Goryeo, it may be a strategy adapted to local conditions."
"King Dongping, it is said that the people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully..." Wu Shenyan wanted to retort, but was interrupted by King Dongping raising his hand.
"Uncle Guo, I know you just want to say that Chen State's use of military men to disrupt government is against the laws of nature, but..." King Dongping changed the subject, and his old eyes gradually became sharper.
Wu Shenyan was caught by this gaze and couldn't help but take a step back.
"When it comes to the way of heaven, it is only the heaven and the way of the Chen Kingdom, not the way of heaven in our country!"
These words left Wu Shenyan speechless and unable to refute, and also shocked Emperor Chunzhi.
King Dongping talked eloquently: "The leader of the Chen Kingdom did not respect Confucianism and Buddhism, but he upgraded his family temple and worshiped his ancestor Hideyoshi Taira as a god.
Then the eight ancient Goryeo states were enfeoffed to dozens of princes, and the ancient system of enfeoffment was supplemented by the Shinto of Japan to govern the country. They enjoyed the country even longer than our dynasty.
The terrain of the hometown of Goryeo is narrow from east to west and long and narrow from north to south. It is surrounded by mountains and is isolated from each other.
If there is no strong force, it will easily lead to a situation of separatism.
Nowadays, it is really hard to convince people to despise a country simply as a military force."
Emperor Chunzhi nodded lightly. Unlike Shi Linjian's perception of Chen Kingdom, as the head of a country, Emperor Chunzhi knew very well that Chen Kingdom was not really that unbearable.
"More than a hundred years ago, in the battle of Bi Ti Guan, two thousand cavalry of the Ming Dynasty faced ten times the enemy force, and they were still able to kill through the enemy formation, as if there were no one around. At the beginning of the Chinese dynasty, our cavalry of Daxia faced two barbarians from the Mongolian, Yuan, and Beidi.
You can especially pursue death in the north and revive the Middle Kingdom.
But now, the talents of our divine capital, the future pillars of our country, and their equestrian skills have been overtaken by Chen Kingdom.
There is no land with abundant water and grass in the Chen Kingdom, and the people of Japan are not a horse race like the Meng Yuan. However, in just a few decades, they were allowed to raise such a group of people with superb equestrian skills. Looking back at our dynasty, alas..."
King Dongping sighed.
His ancestors were from Liaodong. As Li Rumei's pro-army, he participated in the Wanli Battle of the former Ming Dynasty. Later, he joined the Li family in joining Beidi. Later, the ancestors of King Dongping entered the Ming Dynasty and fought against Beidi. They were defeated and killed.
The first generation of King Dongping followed Emperor Gao to establish the foundation.
It was precisely because his ancestors had an old relationship with the people of Beidi that the first King Dongping resolutely rejected the Gao Emperor's idea of enfeoffing the country in Liao. This led to the later King Beijing guarding Liaodong, and the current King Dongping himself.
Resigning from the feudal state and other matters.
Wu Shenyan, who had been silent for a long time, had a faint sweat on his head.
Although he is the uncle of the state, he is still a traditional scholar at heart and has a natural defense against warriors. He is also one of those who lobbies to reduce border military expenditures.
Of course, the root cause still stems from the deteriorating finances of the Great Xia Dynasty, but it is an indisputable fact that the overall combat effectiveness of the imperial court's army has declined a lot compared to the early days of the country.
"Of course, I also know that the Holy One has put all his efforts into maintaining the country's affairs, and some things have priorities after all..."
King Dongping's last words made the originally livid Emperor Chunzhi's expression soften a lot.
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang of Dongping. After I have sorted out my internal affairs, I will definitely take action to deal with the north. Uncle Wang, you will have a good life and take good care of yourself. That day will definitely come."
"Haha, it's rare for the Holy One to be so ambitious!" King Dongping smiled happily, "I think you were trained by that little monkey Jia Daishan back then. Not to mention the monkey, you are really good at teaching people!" p>
Jia Daishan, did you honor the country first...
Emperor Chunzhi just had a thought of reminiscing in his mind, but was suddenly interrupted by the voice behind him.
"Father, we have made a lot of money this time!" The voice was very soft and very excited.
"Shut up! You don't care what the occasion is here?!"
