Chapter 569: Heaven and Earth Must Fight

After the imperial edict was written, Zhao Kuangyin did not consult his brother at all.

He asked the eunuch to send it to the officials for preservation, and the matter was settled.

Then, Zhao Kuangyin looked up with his hands behind his back.

The long list of praises for Zhuge Wuhou by the younger generation did not surprise Zhao Kuangyin. After all, these histories of the previous dynasties were must-reads for the monarch, and what he wanted to do was to end the chaos and unify the country.

He was not like the rebellious Hou Jing, who was unpredictable and arrogant, and was a traitor who wanted to let his life wander around, looking for the joy of the throne, and forging the name of the ancestral temple.

It’s just that now, combined with what I know from reading, and then hearing the stories of later generations, this feeling is still very strange.

Only Zhao Pu sighed softly:

"The "General History of China" must be a history compiled by later generations. I wonder what the conclusion is for us to be included in it?"

This sentence immediately made the whole hall silent.

Liu Han thought that as long as he could leave his name on the list, he would be satisfied. Zhao Kuangyin wondered if his brother's destruction of history would implicate him.

As a result, he turned his head and saw the monk Kong Jiong, who had not shaved his head yet, lying on the ground with a smile on his face. Obviously, he also thought of what Zhao Pu said, and knew that Zhao Jiong's name would probably be praised.

This immediately made Zhao Kuangyin feel a little depressed, and even his soles began to itch.

What interrupted Zhao Da's itch on the soles of his feet was Zhao Pu's exclamation:

"Today I know the full picture of Xizhou!"

Previously, with the guidance of Zhuge Wuhou and Emperor Taizong of Tang, I replayed the article "From the Powerful to the Aristocratic Family to the Aristocratic Family". The ending part of the first sight of Mother Earth can be said to have given Zhao Pu an unprecedented critical hit.

Knowing the four directions of the sky, seeing the sun, moon and stars, sighing that life is short and mourning the boundlessness of the universe.

But the earth he saw at that time was still too general. Until now, he saw that the younger generation had a disagreement and talked about the exchanges between the Former Han Dynasty and Rome based on the ancient road of Shentu. With the perspective constantly raised, the full picture of the west of the Western Regions finally appeared in front of him.

Crossing Persia, passing through Daqin and even exploring to the west of Fulin, Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Han and others finally had a clear and intuitive understanding of the land under their feet.

"No wonder... No wonder the future generations are so dissatisfied with the Northern Song Dynasty's seclusion in a corner."

Zhao Pu was emotional and said something wrong for a while, but no one would go into it at this time.

The voices urging to copy the map, the voices clamoring to analyze the relationship between Rome and Fulin Daqin, the sighs of the ocean, the admiration for the vastness of this land, and so on filled the hall.

Although this map is simple, the big rivers are marked, and relying on these alone, it is possible to preliminarily estimate the vastness of this land.

Zhao Kuangyin lamented about another thing:

"No wonder the prosperity of shipbuilding in the Song Dynasty has been praised by later generations..."

The exploration of the Western Regions by the two most prosperous dynasties of Han and Tang can be verified in ancient books. The mountains and rivers are steep and the climate is unpredictable, so it is impossible to go west to the Western Regions.

Looking at the sea route again, and thinking about the importance of Bianliang's water transport listed by later generations, Zhao Kuangyin also had a vague guess about the importance of shipbuilding.

Looking at the map in front of him carefully and cherishingly, listening to the light screen slowly telling the difficult exchanges between the east and west of this vast land more than a thousand years ago, Zhao Pu suddenly felt a little sad:

"The world has an end. If you don't fight, what's the difference between you and those who sit in a well and watch the sky!"

Before he finished speaking, his tone rose and became sonorous:

"More than a thousand years of rise and fall, if you don't fight, even the life and death of the neighbors on the earth will be difficult to know!"

"Strive for strength here, and strive for the first place on the earth. This is our priority for future generations!"

Now that he knows the past and the present and sees the universe, he is determined not to be the Zhao Pu who laid down his arms and cultivated literary language and compromised in the history books of later generations.

Accumulating the Song Dynasty's determination to strike the bells and drums of the earth, in order to make a sound that moves the world and show the spirit of the seven-foot shape, is what Zhao Pu wants.

Zhao Kuangyin was also very pleased. After all, as a partner who has supported each other for decades, it is a blessing for both him and the Song Dynasty to have the heart to rise again.

"What's the use of knowing its breadth?"

The sudden voice was extremely harsh in the hall. Zhao Kuangyin knew it was his good brother without looking. He just heard him continue:

"Brother, do you want to be the tyrannical Qin Emperor or the arrogant Han Wu?"

"Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang both managed the Western Regions. How many Han people are there in the Western Regions now? Even the Guiyi Army is about to be destroyed."

"You have labored the people and wasted billions of money to make a name for yourself. How is your selfishness different from mine?!"

Zhao Kuangyin's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly:

"I thought you were going to call yourself me again."

Zhao Guangyi choked, but still argued:

"I am also thinking about my brother."

Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and didn't look at his brother at all , but said lightly:

"If so, why do later generations always remember the names of Qin Shi Huang and Han Wudi, but despise Sun Quan who lived in a corner?"

"Even in the last few hundred years of the Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji Nu was favored."

"My selfish heart may be similar to yours, but you are selfish and I am selfish for the sake of eternal success."

But when he said this, Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and looked at his brother, not hiding the contempt in his eyes, and emphasized:

"This is my Great Song, not your weak Song."

The previous words did not move Zhao Guangyi, but the last simple sentence made him furious, and he clenched his fists and was about to fight to show his determination. At least he needed to let his brother know that he was not easy to bully!

But when he raised his eyes, he met a pair of eyes without any emotion. Zhao Guangyi recognized that every time his brother led the army, he had this expression. Every time, regardless of the advantages and disadvantages, even if he was personally involved in the battle, he had this expression. Think about it again. With all the achievements on the battlefield, the anger in Zhao Guangyi's heart was immediately released, and he lowered his head and no longer dared to look at each other.

"Oh!"

Zhao Guangyi, who lowered his head, accurately captured this chuckle, which was full of disdain.

Zhao Kuangyin raised his head again and looked intently at the words on the light screen that said the Wa people were still fighting against the British invaders after thousands of years and regarded themselves as descendants of Kongming. This moved several people in the palace.

"Marquis Wu is truly a strange man."

Zhao Puxing sighed, feeling that if he could fight until death, as long as he could be as good as Zhuge Wuhou, he would have no regrets in this life.

Zhao Kuangyin also envied Zhuge Liang's achievements in governing Shu in the light curtain:

"The merits of two years are praised for a thousand years. Although the country is in a poor state and still thinks about the Northern Expedition, it is no wonder that Yue Fei borrowed his clear ambition. It is no wonder that Sichuan still continues to offer sacrifices to the Ge family."

To be fair, if either he or Zhao Pu had the talent of Zhuge Wuhou, why would they decide on the strategy of "easy first and then difficult"?

Conquering the north, controlling the strong soldiers, and marching south into the river to conquer all directions was just like countless southern expeditions in Qing history. Didn't he and Zhao Pu not want to do that?

It really can't be done.

"Marquis Wu has noble aspirations and noble aspirations, which are beyond our reach."

Zhao Pu looked at the conclusions of later generations on Wu Hou and finally sighed.

Zhao Kuangyin boosted his confidence and said: "We should cultivate our moral integrity with Marquis Wu as a good minister. Our immediate priority is to follow Marquis Wu's Northern Expedition!"

When talking about this matter, Liu Han was the first to jump out:

"If you want to achieve great success, please ask the officials to stop drinking alcohol and avoid sweet and thick tastes from now on."

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly looked bitter.
