Chapter 590: Fighting Against the Golden Hero

In the inner hall of the palace city of Bianliang.

Zhao Kuangyin shook his hands and turned to discuss with Zhao Pu as if nothing had happened. They chatted about setting up a capital in Youzhou to lock Liaodong if they could pacify the Khitan in the future.

Zhao Pu had no objection to this. After all, whether it was the importance of Hebei or the black soil plain of Liaodong praised by later generations, they could all be called the pillars of the country.

Under such circumstances, it was only natural to set up an important town in the north to lock Youyan outside and guard Hebei inside.

But although he kept discussing with the emperor, Zhao Pu still couldn't help but glance to the side.

Seeing a bald head with dark circles under his eyes staring at the emperor indignantly, Zhao Pu's mouth corners unconsciously wanted to jump up.

This Master Kong Jiong was also confused. He thought that the emperor could not do anything to him just because he entered the Buddhist sect.

But he didn't think about why the emperor was favored and stood out to become the chief inspector of the palace before he founded the Song Dynasty?

Isn't it because of the numerous military exploits he won by managing the army well and marching with strategies?

The emperor is now reasonable, but it doesn't mean that he always speaks reasonably.

"Then it will be pacified?"

The emperor's gentle call made Zhao Pu come back to his senses, and he hurriedly bowed and said:

"Now that the Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan has been pacified, the proposal to march north can be planned as soon as possible."

"If Taiyuan is settled, Hebei will be pacified, and if Youzhou is settled, You and Yan will be safe. The establishment of Yanjing is inevitable for the management of the north."

So Zhao Kuangyin nodded with satisfaction.

...

Liu Bei temporarily put aside his worries about Li Erfeng, and sighed:

"Qi Ji... Qu Bing, the people of Song Dynasty rarely remember the champion marquis."

"I still remember that the literati in the Northern Song Dynasty still said that he led 10,000 soldiers to recover You and Yan, and drove Mobei to offer sacrifices to the Taimiao, but his glory was not as good as the top scholar."

"At this time, the mountains and rivers are in ruins..."

Liu Bei shook his head and stopped talking.

But the meaning of it was understood by several people present. How many people still remember clearly that the Northern Song Dynasty madman Su Shi falsely accused the general of Changping, General Wei, of licking hemorrhoids.

Therefore, it would be a lie to say that they had a good impression of the Song Dynasty.

But now, looking at the current situation of the Southern Song Dynasty:

The emperor sold out the country, the loyal ministers cold-blooded, and the people were abandoned for peace. Everything can be called a national shame.

This Yue Fei had the opportunity to become the champion marquis that the northern Han people were looking forward to.

This magical scene made several people feel complicated, and they didn’t know how to evaluate it.

With a sigh, Lu Su changed the topic from another angle:

"This Jin Emperor can actually write poetry?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, and recalled the few words about the Jin Kingdom in later generations, and he also guessed logically:

"Then this Jin Emperor should be the one who wants to get rid of the Hu and preserve the Han?"

"The defeat caused the Jin Kingdom to be in turmoil again and again?"

Knowing too little, it is impossible to guess anything, but Kong Ming also gave his own evaluation from the perspective of military strength:

"If this 600,000-man army is true... then this southern expedition will either succeed or die."

[In the "Posthumous Titles", the explanation of Yang is that he is fond of the inner world and far from courtesy, far from courtesy and far from the masses, against heaven and cruel to the people, and loves big and dangerous politics.

In modern terms, as a Yang Emperor, you can be incompetent, but you can't be useless.

Being lustful, sacrificing public power for personal gain, and having high expectations but low skills are basically the common problems of several Yang Emperors.

But on this basis, we have to admit that the literary talent of several Yang Emperors is basically okay.

For example, the famous song of the fall of the country during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, "Yu Shu Hou Ting Hua", was written by Emperor Yang of Chen, and later the great Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu wrote "The merchant woman does not know the hatred of the fall of the country, and still sings Hou Ting Hua across the river", which refers to this allusion.

Guangshen is also needless to say, "Autumn is dark outside the frontier, and the fog is dark on the mountain moon" and "The flowing waves take the moon away, and the tide brings the stars" are both poems written by Emperor Yang of Sui. Modern researchers of Sui Dynasty poetry generally believe that Yang Guang was a representative poet at that time. His style of poetry is beautiful but not gaudy, fresh and natural, and has the legacy of Wei Wu.

Wanyan Liang is similar. Before the Jin emperor ascended the throne, he wrote "If Da Bing is in hand, the breeze will fill the world", and his style can be seen.

When he made up his mind to march south to Zhao Gou, he wrote "Ten thousand miles of carriages and books are mixed together, how can there be a separate border in the south of the Yangtze River?"

In terms of vision alone, Wanyan Gou was simply rubbed on the ground, and was not at the same level at all.

In addition, when Wanyan Liang was alive, he wrote "Hundred Characters. Snow" and handed it down. Just talking about the proposition of chanting snow, it is not too much to praise him for his "one chant, one chant, the best at that time", which shows his talent.

But as mentioned before, it is a common problem of Emperor Yang that he is ambitious but incompetent. After the death of Emperor Yang of Sui, Erfeng once commented on it, and the final conclusion was "laughed by the world", which shows the evaluation of Guangshen's level.

Wanyan Liang is not much different. Now when we talk about this Jin emperor, there will always be people who jokingly call him "Anti-Jin Qixia" and give him the name Zhao Liang.

The reason for this nickname is simple, because Wanyan Liang himself ascended the throne by killing the king, and what kind of good man and woman do you think can be posthumously named Yang?

After Wanyan Liang came to power, he purged dissidents and showed his butcher knife to those who could threaten the throne without hesitation.

Jin Shizong, who led the destruction of the Song Dynasty, was killed by Zhao Liang, and the descendants of Jin Wushu, who led the army to destroy the Song Dynasty, were also killed by Wanyan Liang.

In addition, the descendants of Wanyan Bingde, Wanyan Zonghan, Te Li, Fengli and other important officials who founded the Jin Dynasty and participated in the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty were all killed by Zhao Liang. It can be said that in terms of the number of Jin Dynasty dignitaries killed, Marshal Yue would be ashamed of himself.

In addition, the national policy of the Jin Dynasty led by Wanyan Liang was also quite radical. At the end of the last issue, we said that the Jin Dynasty had developed the black soil in the early days with the help of the warm climate at that time, but it was eventually abandoned.

The key figure in changing the national policy of the Jin Dynasty was Wanyan Liang. This ambitious Jin Dynasty emperor was determined to do something big with the same culture and the same track.

Therefore, facing the uncooperative Jurchen nobles in the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Liang simply ordered people to destroy the Shangjing Huining Prefecture (now south of Harbin), where the Jin Dynasty was established, and forcibly moved the Jin Dynasty regime to the south, set up the Zhongdu Yanjing and Nanjing Bianliang, which caused considerable turmoil in the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, it can be seen that the success rate of Wanyan Liang's forced southern expedition was slim.

It was under such circumstances that Xin Qiji finally ushered in his first test of his precious sword. 】

"Zhao Liang? Wanyan Gou?"

Li Shimin pondered the two people's completely reversed surnames, and then thought about their actions, and couldn't help but admire:

"It can be called amazing."

Then Li Shimin also silently read the poems written by Wanyan Liang, and had to admit:

"This Zhao Liang is talented."

But then he shook his head:

"But useless."

Now sitting on the throne, Li Shimin can tell what qualities are needed to be a ruler. Whether it is calligraphy or prose, it is just a minor skill to cultivate sentiment.

Du Ruhui felt that at this time, he could basically guess the result of Wanyan Gou's southern expedition:

"The Jin army went south, and the Hebei righteous army rose up."

"The bandits were defeated due to internal and external difficulties, making Qi Ji famous?"
