"At the beginning of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion under Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the slogan of the princes was 'Kill Chao Cuo, Qing Jun sideways'. Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty killed the emperor's army, and the momentum of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance declined. Nine hundred years later, during the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan's slogan was 'Destroy Yang Guozhong'
, after the Maweiyi Incident and the execution of Yang Guozhong, Anlu Mountain's momentum declined."
Feng Zhou said calmly.
Zhao Gou frowned and immediately understood what Feng Zhou meant.
This is to persuade him to kill his lord and send ministers to improve morale.
So who are the peace ministers?
Of course it’s Qin Hui!
On the surface, Qin Hui killed Yue Fei, became independent prime minister for more than ten years, attacked the main war faction, and was the leader of the main peace faction.
But in fact, he is just a front-end figure.
The real leader of the Peace Faction is Zhao Gou.
If Qin Hui is killed, Zhao Gou will have to face the main war faction directly, and there will be no room for maneuver.
So after listening to Feng Zhou's words, Zhao Gou thought for a moment and said calmly: "Master, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion and the Anshi Rebellion were both civil wars, and this time the gold master's southern expedition was a war to destroy the country."
Feng Zhou smiled slightly: "What the officials and Pindao mean is that in these two wars, the main force was in Hebei. The land of Yanzhao is not easy to control. The land of Yanjing is dominated by tigers and dragons."
.”
"Hiss!" Zhao Gou immediately felt a chill in his heart.
Quite simply, Feng Zhou was a hint that the Jin army was strong enough. If Zhao Gou did not improve the resistance morale of the imperial court, he would either escape by boat, or follow in the footsteps of his father and brother and perform a sheep-raising ceremony.
"Then... Zhenren, does our army have the basis for victory?" Zhao Gou asked.
Feng Zhou was silent for a moment, then turned around and took out a piece of turtle back, and then took out the bronze dagger. With a slight tap, obscure runes immediately appeared on the turtle's back.
Feng Zhou gave it a pretentious look and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, of course our army is bound to win, but the Jin people have a chance to win in this inevitable defeat."
"Oh? Please tell me carefully," Zhao Gou said hurriedly.
"In the battle of Feishui, Fu Jian claimed to have thrown a whip to cut off the flow. Everyone knows the result. The poor man calculated the secrets and found that the Jin people suffered three defeats, while the officials had three victories."
"The financier Wan Yanliang has a rift with the nobles of the clan, and he must not be able to control the army well, but His Majesty has full control over the army, and all the generals under his command are promoted by His Majesty. They are only based on their talents, regardless of distance. This is a victory. Wan Yanliang
He is ferocious and cruel, and exploits the people of the Central Plains crazily, but the officials live in peace in the south of the Yangtze River and govern the world in Shaoxing. This is a victory. The enemy is not united and divides his troops to fight, but the officials are at ease waiting for work. This is a victory."
"So the Song Dynasty has three victories, and the Jin Dynasty has three defeats. As long as everyone is united and has enough food and grass, our army will win, and your Majesty will certainly be safe and sound."
Listening to Feng Zhou's talk, Zhao Gou's eyes brightened, and then dimmed.
This three-win-three-defeat strategy of giving a shot in the arm and boasting about it is the same as Guo Jia's ten wins and ten defeats. Apart from boosting the morale of the lord, it actually has no use.
Although Zhao Gou is not good at military affairs, he is a qualified politician. How could he not understand these things?
It seems that Feng Zhou doesn't understand military matters.
Zhao Gou sighed, and then asked: "Then according to Zhenren's opinion, what is the reason why the Jin man must win?"
Feng Zhou's trip to ask for advice was not really to ask about Feng Zhou's chances of winning.
As for Feng Zhou's political and military level, he, Zhao Gou, only came to test the depth.
Now that we know that Feng Zhou is just rhetoric in this regard, he feels disappointed but also feels happy.
But what's more, it's another thought.
Feng Zhou said in a solemn voice: "I have learned that if the Lord of Yanjing is helped by a monk, entrusted with the post of prime minister in black, and leads his army southward, he will definitely be able to cross the Yangtze River and occupy the position of Lord of the World.
He also killed the powerful ministers, but the Lord of Jiangnan has disappeared and is difficult to trace."
"Thump!" Zhao Gou's body swayed, and his heart almost stopped beating.
If Feng Zhou didn't talk about military affairs and only talked about heaven's secrets and calculations, Zhao Gou would be eighty-nine percent convinced.
If what he said is true, then if Zhao Gou does not kill the powerful ministers, and Yanjing's Wan Yanliang is helped by the monks, wouldn't it be possible to sweep across the south of the Yangtze River, scold him in the West Lake, and immediately rise to the top of Mount Wu?
no!
I will never allow such a thing to happen.
He hurriedly looked at Feng Zhou: "Master, do you have a way to solve this problem?"
"Your Majesty, the enemy has always been able to go all out to destroy the country and kill the king, mostly because someone within the party has tipped off the enemy." Feng Zhou said calmly.
Zhao Gou's eyes narrowed and he suddenly realized.
"If the powerful prime minister is executed, will the real person be willing to help me and fight against the Jin army?" Zhao Gou asked slowly.
Feng Zhou laughed loudly: "If your majesty goes with the will of heaven, I will naturally go with the will of heaven. However, if I can capture and kill the Khan, I have something to do, and I hope that your majesty will fully implement it."
Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard this: "If you can achieve such a great victory, I will grant you all your requests."
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for that. I have studied Taoism carefully and gained some insights. I want to publish it through the government and spread it to all people."
Zhao Gou was certain in his heart and said with a smile: "When a gentleman establishes his virtues and meritorious deeds, I will definitely carry out this great good deed."
…
After seeing Zhao Gou off, Feng Zhou smiled slightly.
On the surface, Zhao Gou and Feng Zhou had a quarrelsome conversation, but in fact, it was Zhao Gou who asked Feng Zhou to go to the front line and use his magical powers to resist the Jin army's southward march.
Zhao Gou's condition was to kill Qin Hui and publish Feng Zhou's theoretical books all over the world.
For Zhao Gou, this would not affect his throne at all, and of course he would not refuse to agree.
So at the beginning of the morning session the next day, some court officials first reported the news of the Jin army going south. Taking advantage of the uproar, someone immediately impeached Qin Hui for colluding with the enemy and treason, demanding that Qin Hui be stripped of his position, imprisoned, and interrogated severely.
First, an ordinary official from the Ministry of War came forward, and then more senior officials came forward. In just one moment, dozens of officials came forward to impeach Qin Hui.
Immediately after the Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, and all the way to the Political Affairs Hall, officials in the United States continued to come forward to impeach.
Seeing the level getting higher and higher, Qin Hui's expression changed from indifferent at first to shock, and finally turned pale and trembled all over.
Finally, when Tang Sihui, who was the first Privy Council member with power and political advisor, stood up and accused Qin Hui of manipulating power, deceiving the world, and rejecting virtuous ministers in the court, Qin Hui finally realized that his situation was over and fell to his knees with a thud.
You must know that Tang Situi was a tactful person, good at observing people's words, and politically he relied on Prime Minister Qin Hui and rose to great heights.
When even such people began to criticize Qin Hui, it must have been the emperor's decision.
"Qin Hui's crimes are extremely heinous, and my heart aches. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai have selected capable candidates to interrogate Qin Hui strictly. Don't miss a single crime. I want to inform the whole country that if anyone is so cruel again, he will not be spared!"
Zhao Gou stood up high above the court and roared loudly.
The officials below looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their minds: "The Great Song Dynasty is about to change."
…
When the court was staged with a show of fighting between kings and ministers, Feng Zhou had already prepared breakfast for Xiaoqing to reward her for her hard work last night. Then he left the room with satisfaction and walked into the clean room relaxed to continue studying Fahai's soul and spirit.
Buddhism.
As his research and use of the purple gourd deepened, Feng Zhou was able to use his magical power to penetrate deep into the gourd and study it in detail.
While Fengzhou was practicing in the clean room, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism began to spread, and the outside world began to undergo earth-shaking changes.
