Above the river, the breeze blows and the sun becomes warmer.
But Zhao Gou couldn't feel any warmth, and there was betrayal everywhere.
Many Han people betrayed and became minions of Jin Wushu. Without the Han navy, how could it be possible to cross the river easily; without the advice of Han literati, how could Han Shizhong's navy suffer heavy losses; without the rebellion of Han generals, how could there be the fall of Jinling.
The destiny is not in the Song Dynasty, but in the Jin Dynasty; the people's heart is not in the Song Dynasty, but fortunately in the Jin Dynasty.
In a daze, Zhao imagined Xiang Yu.
After Xiang Yu's death, five people, Yang Xi, Lu Matong, Lu Sheng, Yang Wu, and Wang Yi, divided his body, and the five of them were granted the title of Marquis. Wang Yi cut off Xiang Yu's head and was granted the title of Marquis of Du Yan; Yang Wu
, got Xiang Yu's right foot and was named Wu Fanghou; Lu Sheng, cut off Xiang Yu's left arm and was named Niyang Hou; Yang Xi, got Xiang Yu's left leg, was named Chiquanhou. Lu Matong, because of his hands and feet
Slowly, he finally obtained some fragmentary bones of Xiang Yu and was named Zhongshuihou.
If he dies, who will divide his body and who will be granted the title of marquis?
"The world is full of traitors, who can be trusted?" Zhao Gou sighed.
"Everyone in the world betrays you, which is not sad; what is sad is that you betray yourself!" Liu Xiu said leisurely.
"What does it mean to betray yourself?" Zhao Gou asked curiously.
Liu Xiudao: "There was once a scholar who, when he was young, determined to be an upright official and become a famous minister. But when he grew up, he erased his ideals, forgot his aspirations, lost his integrity, betrayed himself, became a corrupt official, and became a generation of treacherous ministers. This person's name
For Cai Jing!”
"The most terrifying thing is to continue to grow up and become the most hated character in childhood! Many people say that their brothers betrayed them, their wives betrayed them, and their relatives betrayed them... But they never thought that these are not important, and the important thing is themselves.
Don’t betray yourself!”
"It doesn't matter if you set up great ambitions in your childhood. The important thing is to maintain your ambitions for decades without changing them! This is a saint, and only Confucius can do it!"
Zhao Gou seemed to have some realization.
Zhao Gou asked again: "The Jurchen shaman's Taoist skills are astonishing, and they can be called gods. If they attack me, how should I defend myself?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Liu Xiu said calmly: "Heaven and earth have their own laws. The emperor is not allowed to practice Taoism, but Taoism is not allowed to harm the human emperor. The more advanced your cultivation is, the more you taboo the cause and effect of heaven's way, and the less you dare to harm the emperor. That's it.
Just like when I was fighting with the Jurchen shaman, I would stay far away from His Majesty to avoid His Majesty being affected!"
"However, the Jurchen shaman will not personally attack the emperor, but he can pretend to do it to others!"
"Then can I practice Taoism?" Zhao Gou asked curiously.
"No!" Liu Xiudao said: "The emperor is not allowed to practice Taoism. The emperor has dragon energy in his body. Dragon energy restrains Taoism and will weaken the power of Taoism. The same dragon energy will also dissolve Taoism. A master of Taoism will become a human being.
The queen will be suppressed by the dragon energy and her magic power will be melted away!"
"If I give up my position as emperor, will it be possible for me to practice Taoism?"
Zhao Gou asked.
"No!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "Your Majesty's qualifications are too poor to cultivate Taoism at all. You can only work hard in this life, create great achievements, and establish immeasurable merits. When you go to the underworld, sort out your Majesty's merits and become a ghost. Ghosts and immortals cannot do anything.
Enjoy the fireworks in the world, but you can also watch them for a long time!"
"Master, why are you helping me?" Zhao Gou asked.
"The Jurchen shaman is right, the destiny lies in the Jin Dynasty, not in the Song Dynasty." Liu Xiu said calmly: "Although your Majesty is talented, he is unable to regain the north. Your Majesty even committed suicide without authorization and became famous throughout the ages. As the saying goes, Qingshan is lucky.
Bury the bones of loyalty, and cast the innocent into sycophants!"
"As for the poor Taoist, helping His Majesty is going against nature. Failure is inevitable!"
Liu Xiu pointed his finger, and a stream of information immediately came to him. It was about the major historical events that happened after Jingkang.
It's less about romance and more about historical reality.
Zhao Gou closed his eyes, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind. The Song army was invincible and suffered continuous defeats. In the Battle of Fuping, all the elite Western troops were wiped out. Then the Jin army went south and swept across the south of the Yangtze River, like no one was there.
He even ran away in panic.
Then, Han Shizhong commanded the Song Dynasty navy, first a great victory and then a great defeat.
Then, the four famous generals of the Song Dynasty rose up. Yue Fei had Han Xin's plan, and Han Shizhong had Zhou Bo's courage. They struggled to maintain the situation.
After more than ten years of continuous fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy losses. People's livelihood in the north was in ruins, and uprisings continued in the south. Then, the Jin Dynasty also split, with the war faction and the peace negotiation faction constantly fighting among themselves. The Song Dynasty was also divided internally, between the war faction and the peace negotiation faction.
Later, Jin Wushu, the main combatant, gained the upper hand and began to invade the south. However, he encountered a sniper attack by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, which led to failure.
After the failure, Jin Wushu changed from the main war faction to the peace negotiation faction.
At the same time, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the peace negotiation faction headed by Qin Hui gained the upper hand. Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, etc. were gradually relieved of military power, and the peace negotiation faction in the Southern Song Dynasty gained the upper hand.
As a result, the Song and Jin Dynasties negotiated a peace, which was known as the "Shaoxing Peace Negotiation" in history.
Soon after, Yue Fei was killed on trumped-up charges.
Yue Fei died, and a new generation of warriors was born!
Yue Fei's status continued to rise and he became a martial sage.
The literary sage is Confucius; the martial sage is Yue Fei and Guan Yu.
When the Yuan Dynasty overthrew the Song Dynasty, they praised Yue Fei and built his temple and tomb. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also praised Yue Fei and called him "Yue Shaobao King Wu Mu of the E Kingdom". In the Ming Dynasty, four people including Qin Hui even knelt down.
By the Qing Dynasty, Nurhachi was also an admirer of Yue Fei and changed the names of his two grandsons to Yue Tu and Yue Dong.
When the Qing Dynasty established the world, Yue Fei and his ancestors were enemies, and Shunzhi rebuilt the Yuewang Temple. It was expanded several times, and Yongzheng personally mentioned the "Blue Blood Pill Heart". Qianlong also respected it.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, it was difficult to publicly disparage Yue Fei. The only option was to promote Guan Yu's status and suppress Yue Fei's.
After the memory ended, Zhao Gou was still in a daze and couldn't believe it.
"Yue Fei, how virtuous and capable is a mere warrior, he is called a Martial Saint, the same name as the Saint Kong!" Zhao Gou said, looking a little unbelievable.
Emperors of Qin and Han Dynasty became famous in history by relying on their martial arts; Emperors of Tang and Song Dynasty dominated the world by relying on their talents.
But he, Zhao Gou, surpassed his ancestor Zhao Kuangyin in terms of reputation, just because he killed one person, Yue Fei.
"Gold cups and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the people!"
Liu Xiu said lightly: "There is no immortal dynasty, only immortal China. China in later generations will be plagued by disasters. People expect heroes, and Yue Fei is a hero. As for emperors, they are just dust. There are many emperors in the past, and there are many
Several people are immortal! Three immortals, Yue Fei can do it!"
"But Wei Qing and Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu; Li Weigong also defeated the Turks. Their achievements are all greater than Yue Fei's!"
Zhao Gou still said unwillingly.
"A general who wins hundreds of battles is nothing; only one who wins with great difficulty in difficult situations is considered a famous general!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "Losers deserve more sympathy than winners. And Your Majesty, because of killing Yue Fei, became a famous general.
The foolish king of the ages. On the list of foolish kings, Your Majesty is at the forefront!"
