Chapter 1805 Before sending troops, the two military states were self-destructed
The strange thing is that when Zhao Fujin first heard Xiao Tang say that he planned to send people to send the two sisters back to Bianliang, Tokyo, she felt sad for no reason. However, when Xiao Tang said again, it all depends on her own mind, If he was willing to stay, he could live here by himself, but Zhao Fujin couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.
He said that everything was the same as before and he was still willing to take care of us sisters... Is there any hidden meaning in this? Or... although he couldn't say it, he had always hoped that I would stay?
Although Zhao Fujin is now about twenty-four or five years old, according to the current season, she is already an old girl who should have been married long ago. But because of this, he grew up in a deep palace, if he had not chosen a consort The emperor's son-in-law, Princess Di Ji, who was originally determined to be out of reach of others, has not yet had a romantic relationship with any man to get married. Whenever the man he has always pretended to be in his heart has something to say, Zhao Fujin is as easy as a woman who has just begun to fall in love. have a bee in one's bonnet.
Although some words were not revealed clearly, they made Zhao Fujin's mood become a little strange and subtle. However, in this situation, she made up her mind, and after a moment of silence, she finally decided to raise her head and said: "No, I won’t go back, but I can’t help but enjoy the splendor in the imperial palace. However, after experiencing that disaster, I realized firsthand what later generations did to commemorate Li Yu, the empress of the Tang Dynasty, and his concubines and concubines, who were as pitiful as beautiful girls. The meaning of the poem about being born into an emperor's family in the last days...and it was only after I came out that I felt that my life was so fulfilling."
After receiving Zhao Fujin's affirmative answer, Xiao Tang nodded slowly. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Princess Di Ji, who was now hiding in the capital under his rule, calling him out again, but he was still worried. asked: "It is indeed my father, the emperor, who has caused the people of the world to be in dire straits all year round. So if you establish a country on your own, if one day... you can really achieve what you want and replace the Song Dynasty, Will you let go of my father, my brother, and the children of my Zhao family? Or, in the end, will you eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles?"
Xiao Tang stopped when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he turned his back to the worried Zhao Fujin and said, "The emperor's words are serious. Although your father-in-law and brother-in-law all regard me as a rebellious and serious problem, I have no personal enmity with them in the first place. Now, The Song Dynasty was ignorant and could not comply with the destiny of the people and conform to the people's will. And I, the Xiaotang Dynasty, were not so arrogant and arrogant that I did not know that those who obey the heavens will prosper and those who go against the heavens will perish. If you do not go against the ways of heaven, you will not lose the principles you abide by. According to what you said , although it is too early, if one day I can really achieve great things, I must also follow the etiquette of the two kings and the three kings, the rise and fall of succession, how can I harm the descendants of the Song Dynasty clan? My wish is to eventually teach the world. Returning to a peaceful and peaceful world, I will definitely not think about myself, but instead disturb the world and make it more turbulent."
The "two kings and three kings" mentioned by Xiao Tang can be traced back to the fact that Yu and Shun regarded Yao's son Danzhu as his guest; The country, inherits the peerless world, raises the people, and the people of the world return to their hearts. The dynasties of the past dynasties all have the ritual system of granting titles to the descendants of the previous royal family. When the new dynasty inherits the lineage of the old dynasty, it must give the descendants of the royal family of the previous three dynasties the title of prince and the title of the city. , do not harm yourself rashly. When the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the descendants of Yu and Shun still had to be divided into the Chen Kingdom, the descendants of the Xia Dynasty were the Qi Kingdom, and the descendants of the destroyed Shang Dynasty were the Song vassal states. Later, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi named Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as the Shanyang Kingdom. In the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan usurped the throne and made Wei Emperor Cao Huan King of Chenliu. After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Sui Dynasty, he made the deposed emperor Yang You the Duke of Wu. The Song Taizu named Chai Zongxun the King of Zheng... From ancient times to the Song Dynasty, basically They all abide by the tradition of political etiquette in Chinese history.
Of course, there was also Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who violated the etiquette system of two kings and three dynasties by killing the son of the last emperor of the third Qin Dynasty who had surrendered to the city. But because of this, the overlord of Western Chu was widely criticized for relying on bravery, lack of strategy, and being conceited.
One of the important reasons for his cruelty and lack of political vision. In addition, Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty died at the hands of Wang Mang for no apparent reason. Even his prince was taught by Wang Mang to be ignorant and unclear in speech.
Fools, as well as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and other periods, although there were many powerful ministers who killed the emperor without scruples, however, in those historical periods, either the orthodox dynasties that were restored by Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu and quickly perished and were not recognized were the orthodox dynasties in Chinese history.
The darkest time of trouble.
Xiao Tang knew very well that there were still many scholars and officials who were die-hardly loyal to the Song Dynasty who were extremely hostile and ostracized towards him. This was also because he had no intention of serving the emperor loyally to his death.
I thought, the loyal king is always worried about the country, but you risked the disapproval of the world and rebelled against the chaos. You are the rebellious ministers and traitors that everyone can punish. But Xiao Tang knew better that the kings who established the dynasty and subjugated the country in every generation did not have some around them.
Ministers loyal to the Death Festival? But the overall situation of dynasty change has been determined, except for the Song Dynasty, the descendant of the Shang Dynasty kings among the feudal vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, and Chu Yi, who was used as a puppet by Xiang Yu to re-establish the Chu Kingdom, but was later killed.
Emperor Xiongxin, in Xiao Tang's impression, there was almost no possibility that the descendants of the subjugated emperor who were sent to a fiefdom to live a low-key life could stir up any trouble...
When he really has the ability to unify the world and replace the Song Dynasty, the so-called loyalty to the Song Dynasty will eventually disappear except for a few old people and young people. No matter how hard the scholars and the people try to disrupt the world,
It has been too long. If the Song Dynasty's collapse is irreversible and peace and stability can be achieved, most people will accept the changes of the times. The two kings and three Ke ritual system, at least for the current season, is still one of the necessary conditions for the new dynasty to show its legitimacy.
Regardless of whether Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan should be killed, Xiao Tang knew very well that if he wanted to eradicate the root cause, one day he would not be able to just execute them two, but would have to kill all the descendants of the Zhao family, the last clan of the previous dynasty. This is not
It will have the effect of calming the public's anger, but it will arouse even more fierce and indignant opposition from the literati and officials than it is now. Killing a clan to exterminate it just to so-called avoid future troubles has never been Xiao Tang's style.
What's more, with Xiao Tang's knowledge, he knew that if he really did that, he would be self-defeating and extremely stupid.
It's just that Xiao Tang was comforting Zhao Fujin now, but suddenly realized that he had spoken out his feelings, and he didn't know how much was mixed in. Because he saw this princess of the clan who was now in a dilemma, but had always been kind and gentle, and
I couldn't help but express my comforting words of sympathy...
After Xiao Tang and Yan Qing left, and when his sister Zhao Huanhuan came back and started chattering, Zhao Fujin stopped to think about it, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart. Although because of his background, Zhao Fujin knew that he was now with
There is still a layer of estrangement between Xiao and Tang, but after today's conversation, it is enough to teach myself to settle down and still live here. Although youth is fleeting, there are still some regrets that have to be buried in my heart, but
The years are quiet, and I can only look forward to the future. Maybe there will be a day when the regrets and entanglements lingering in my heart will eventually disappear...
Although it won't be now.

After Xiao Tang returned to Daming Mansion and stayed in the Sifu Yamen, he began to make arrangements to dispatch the leaders of his subordinates to organize a joint battle to jointly fight against the anti-army forces of the Song Dynasty. He sent troops to assist the rebel forces led by Li Xiaozhong on Hedong Road, and deployed them to the north. Capture the state capitals, counties and towns that are still under the control of the Jin Kingdom.
After all, north of Daming Prefecture under the rule of Hebei Lianglu, there are also Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Cangzhou, Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Zhaozhou, Xingzhou, etc. The prefectures under the rule of Song Dynasty have not yet been recovered, so they must be recovered first. Only by capturing all the lost territory on the Hebei Road can a road be opened to send troops to the boundaries of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. By then, Xiao Tang had already made plans, and only then could the big plan related to the stability of the people's livelihood and political affairs under his rule be launched... .
However, when Xiao Tang was discussing with his confidants who were under the command of the commander, another scout came galloping from the north, saying that there was an urgent military report. After Xiao Tang heard the report, he immediately summoned the scout to the military academy and waited. After reporting a few words to each other, he couldn't help but look surprised: "What? Before our army was mobilized, the Jin army stationed in Zhao and Xing states were killed and routed and fled? Now that our army controls the territory, the army in the north has been The state is isolated from the imperial army of the Song Dynasty, so what other troops can defeat the Jinlu and capture the two states' cities?"
