This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 19 Peerless Famous General
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, war was king.

Qin unified the Liuhe and his military bravery was amazing.

The Han Dynasty avenged its previous humiliation and expelled the Xiongnu, making the Han Dynasty the name of this nation.

The Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, and all nations came to the dynasty. The majesty of Tian Khan made the annals of history more glorious.

Throughout the dynasties, warriors have been the backbone of the dynasty.

But in the Song Dynasty, warriors became thieves and auxiliary troops.

Warriors are unruly!Warriors cannot be trusted, warriors are bloodthirsty...

During the chaos in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, as well as the melee fighting after the Tang Dynasty, the image of the warriors in it was not glorious. Therefore, the scholar-bureaucrats who had been suppressed by the warriors for many years rose up and joined forces with the worried emperor, turning the warriors from the backbone of the dynasty into The Chamber Pot of the Dynasty.

What is a chamber pot?

I feel like you are a savior when I have an urgent need to urinate.

After peeing and peeing, I feel that you stink again, and I wish I could kick you away.

Therefore, the status of warriors in temples is really difficult to describe.

Look at the few martial artists who came today. They were hiding on the side without saying a word, not daring to speak at all.

In the streets where warriors were notorious, and when everyone was shouting for beatings, Li Xian suddenly spoke some words of justice for them, which was shocking.

What is even more shocking is that Li Xian snatched the credit of the Chanyuan Alliance from Cao Lili's hands alive and threw it on the warrior's head.

This fellow!

Wang Zeng glanced at Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen looked calm, but his hand holding the wat board was tight.

Brother Guoan, did you do this on purpose?
He felt that Li Xian did not want to get involved in officialdom, so he performed a disgusting trick on everyone on the first day he came to the court.

If you don’t want to see me again, then impeach me!
When an official is impeached, he should stay behind closed doors. In this way, Li Xian stayed away from the court in disguise.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the Queen Mother in the curtains worriedly, worried that the old lady would go crazy.

But the Queen Mother remained as calm as before, and the corners of her mouth even raised slightly, as if to say: Little monkey, everything is under my control.

Zhao Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

He looked carefully and found that Li Xian's expression was more serious than ever before.

But Cao Liang lost his composure.

Before the Chanyuan Alliance, he was just an ordinary official.After the Chanyuan Alliance, relying on his achievements in "saving the Song Dynasty", he was promoted at a shocking speed.

It can be said that the negotiating power of the Chanyuan Alliance was the root of Cao's use.

But now Li Xian is preparing to cut off his roots.

Cao Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Xian, "Who are you speaking for?"

Everyone present is a scholar-official, including you, Li Xian.Do you still want to betray your own class and speak for those thieves?

"Da Song!" Li Xian's eyes were like lightning, so sharp that Cao Li couldn't help but avoid his eyes, "Who is bleeding for Da Song? Is it you?"

Li Xian slowly looked at everyone. The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth became more and more curved, and she even tapped her thigh with her fingers, feeling very comfortable, as if she was beating drums to cheer for Dingyuan Marquis.

"Who repelled the Bei Liao cavalry? Was it me?" Li Xian roared, "Did it rely on a mouth? Come on, tell me, the world-famous Bei Liao cavalry was forced to retreat by a mouth.

What kind of mouth is this?When the Northern Liao Dynasty was founded, he once said that plundering the Central Plains was the destiny of the grassland tribes and the power given by God.Thousands of years ago, alien races from the grasslands continued to invade the Central Plains. What did the past dynasties rely on to expel them? "

Li Xian raised his right hand, "It's blood! It's the blood of countless warriors."

He lowered his head slightly, "The bravery of the Han and Tang dynasties frightened the foreigners. In the Song Dynasty, the warriors frightened the Northern Liao Dynasty, but there were always people who were afraid and worried. What were they worried about? They were worried that their family's dominance would be broken. So , their shameless greed for heaven’s merits dyed their official uniforms red with the blood of warriors, and then they were so complacent that they thought they were the ones who saved the Song Dynasty.”

Cao Li's face turned pale, "The Queen Mother..."

This guy is slandering the scholar-bureaucrats as a group!Queen Mother!
It is the national policy of the Song Dynasty that emperors and scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together. Do you want to sit back and watch, Queen Mother?
Behind the curtain, the Queen Mother squinted her eyes as if she was taking a nap, but the corners of her raised lips turned into sarcasm.

In the eyes of the emperor, nothing is immutable.As long as it is conducive to their own rule and the prosperity of the dynasty, they will accept anything.

Cao Li turned around, but Wang Zeng and others were watching their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.

Cao Li suddenly found himself alone and helpless. He raised his head and laughed, "How can you, Li Guoan, criticize my achievements? Hahahahaha!"

Li Xian did not look at him, but looked at the Queen Mother and Zhao Zhen, lowering his head slightly, "Those warriors are looking at Bianjing in the sky, looking at me, looking at the Song Dynasty that they saved. I invite the officials and the Queen Mother to issue an edict , let me sacrifice the warriors of the Song Dynasty in that battle, the bravery of my Central Plains, and the backbone of my Central Plains!"

Li Xian bowed and resigned.

The hall was quiet.

"Arrogant! Who does he think he is? Is he Zaifu? The moment he opens his mouth, he is offering sacrifices. He wants to show off to the warriors!"

No one paid attention, so Cao Lili's words echoed in the hall.

Zhao Zhen's heart boiled with passion and he looked at the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother sighed softly, "In that battle, Bianjing was in panic. How many people wanted to flee to the south. It was the warriors of the Song Dynasty who fought to the death and saved the country. It was them who saved the Song Dynasty. I am tired. Sirs, please step back. Bar!"

This was the first time since the late Emperor that the credit for the battle was determined, but the Queen Mother only affirmed the loyalty and bravery of the warriors.

"Sir, please retire!"

The Queen Mother pointed to the curtain, and Luo Chongxun opened the curtain. The Queen Mother quietly watched the ministers leave the hall and said softly: "Back then, the Northern Liao cavalry went south with overwhelming force. The ministers in Bianjing were panicked and most of them wanted to escape. I am not afraid of embarrassment. At that time, the late emperor was so panicked that he wished he could fly to the south. Fortunately, Kou Zhun was stubborn and dragged him and his ministers northward. That battle..."

Zhao Zhen lowered his head, Li Xian's words echoing in his mind.Who saved the Song Dynasty?
Who is coveting God’s merit?
What are they afraid of?
worry about what?
"The warriors of the Song Dynasty fought to the death and never retreated, which made the late emperor famous for his personal expedition, Kou Zhun's courage to fight to the death and never retreated, and made Cao Yong famous for his clever mouth. After the war, the Song Dynasty was boiling, and Bianjing was boiling. Countless people are cheering. The names of the late emperor, Kou Zhun, and Cao Lili have been mentioned and praised countless times by countless people. But..."

The Queen Mother said quietly: "But they were lying quietly under the ground with rivers of blood, and no one looked back. They just lay there quietly, and until today, no one has said a word of justice for them."

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Zhen, "The officials are wondering why I don't ask people to sacrifice those warriors?"

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"If I were to sacrifice those warriors with great fanfare, what would the scholar-bureaucrats in the world think? They would feel that the royal family had betrayed its original promise. Later, they would join forces to stumble the Song Dynasty envoy, as Li Guoan said To poach the Song Dynasty..."

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists, "Didn't the eldest lady notice? Now my royal family is being hijacked by scholar-bureaucrats."

"You can see this, I am very happy. It is a coercion, but it is too big to lose. At the beginning, Emperor Taizu saw the disadvantages of the warriors being unruly and domineering, and the country needed to be stabilized, so he joined forces with the scholar-bureaucrats to suppress the warriors. The country was stabilized. , but what about foreign enemies?”

The Queen Mother's eyes were dark, "Emperor Taizong was defeated miserably in Gaolianghe and almost escaped with his own life. After this battle, the Song Dynasty seemed to have its backbone broken, and from then on it could only take a defensive stance against the Northern Liao Dynasty.

I don't understand battle formations, but I also know that after the offensive and defensive changes, unless there are talented and strategic emperors such as the former Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the former Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, as well as peerless generals such as Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Jingna, it will be difficult to counterattack.

Therefore, I have only been tinkering with things over the years to maintain the stability of the Song Dynasty. Do you understand? "

Zhao Zhen lowered his head and said, "Yes."

"Hey! It seems that the officials are still not convinced?" The Queen Mother smiled.

"Yes."

"Why are you not convinced?" the Queen Mother smiled.

Zhao Zhen raised his head and said seriously: "The former Han Dynasty had Wei Qing and Huo Qubing; the former Tang Dynasty had Li Jing, who were both Han'er. Why couldn't the Song Dynasty produce a peerless general?"

The Queen Mother was startled, "Yes! Why couldn't the Song Dynasty produce a peerless general?"

……

Li Xian was overtaken by the female official that day.

"The Marquis escaped that day, and the slave was punished by the Queen Mother. Can the Marquis listen to the slave's arrangements?" The female officer had to take long steps to keep up with Li Xian, so she simply grabbed his sleeve and begged: " Just say a few words.”

Li Xian turned around helplessly, "Say it!"

The female officer looked up at him, "What kind of woman do you like?"

The old lady really wants to be a matchmaker for me!
Li Xian's scalp was numb, "I haven't been thinking about it recently."

"The male senior is getting married!" The female officer felt that he was perfunctory.

"I'm poor." Li Xian used his killing move and ran away.

"Master Hou! Hey! Master Hou!" The female official stamped her feet. Zhang Ze came over from behind and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Dingyuan is not a man who can be manipulated by others. You have wasted your efforts."

The female officer looked at him and raised her head slightly, "When other people heard that the Queen Mother was fighting for them, they were either overjoyed or grateful, but Marquis Dingyuan was calm and calm. This alone is better than countless men in the world."

Li Xian didn't dare to let the old lady act as a matchmaker, but the only way to win over the old lady's wishes was to get married.

But marriage is the second reincarnation, so don’t be rude!

Li Xian was thinking about this matter while walking, and was gradually caught up by hundreds of officials.

Some people around him ridiculed him, saying that since he sympathized with warriors, it would be better to join the army.

Li Xian smiled.

Wang Zeng came up and said, "I am very pleased that you are not angry."

"A group of sparrows are chirping, just ignore them." Li Xian said with a smile.

Those people were getting more and more annoyed.

After leaving the palace city, a group of prisoners who had been assigned happened to pass by.

These criminals will be thrown into the army and become "thieves with the army"

Cao Li sneered, "Marquis Dingyuan is very talented and likes warriors. In that case, why not accept a warrior as your disciple?"

Li Xian was startled.

"Why, all talk without practice?" Cao Li said with a smile.

Li Xian looked at the group of prisoners, but the prisoners looked at him ecstatically, wishing that he would wave to him.

If a prince accepts me as his disciple, it will be like smoke rising from the ancestral grave!
Li Xian slowly looked at the group of prisoners. When he saw a handsome young man looking at him calmly, he waved to him.

"come here."

Cao Li was stunned, wondering if this man really wanted to accept a warrior as his disciple?

The young man came over and saluted.

"From today on, you are my disciple, are you willing?"

The young criminal couldn't help but smile, "Yes."

Li Xian smiled, "What's your name?"

The young man raised his head and said, "Di Qing."
