Chapter 501: The Stone Lion From the Sky
Shen Long was angry not for anything else, but because Sima Guang was still the same as in history. Su Song just conveyed Sima Guang's remarks in the court hall, "Westerners have been peeping at Hehuang for a long time... in case Westerners accumulate resentment and anger The heart of rebellion, all the dogs and sheep, cast idle time and wait for the gap, drive deep, overthrow the army and kill the general, the army is in trouble, and the world is in turmoil. When it is time, even if there are thousands of strongholds, can it be beneficial? … Today is beautiful with it!"
The meaning of the words is that the land that Da Song is recovering now has been spied on by Xixia for a long time. You, Wang Shao, care about building up your military exploits, but you have forgotten the party members. What should Song Ke do? Recovering these lands seems to be a good thing right now, but in the long run it may not be so.
"Sima Junshi suggested that His Majesty return Hehuang and other places to the Qiang people, so that the Song Dynasty would be safe from worries. He was sent back by Mr. Jiefu, but Sima Junshi was not reconciled, and he is now tangling with his party and preparing to write another letter." Su Song frowned and said.
"Haha!", Shen Long laughed angrily, "Sima Junshi's actions reminded me of a big bird unique to the Far West, called an ostrich. Timid, but when encountering a beast, he buries his head in the sand, thinking that the beast will not be able to see it, Sima Junshi's behavior is like this ostrich."
"There is a cloud in "Tang Shu? Tuhuoluo Biography": Tuhuoluo, a big bird presented in the first year of Yongzheng, seven feet high, black, camel-like feet, walking with wings, three hundred miles a day, can eat iron, vulgar It’s called an ostrich, isn’t it the kind of bird you’re talking about?” Su Song is a gentleman and doesn’t like talking about people behind his back, so he interrupted.
"That's right, but it's a lie to be able to eat iron." The title of the iron-eating beast is so popular, what business is the ostrich grabbing? Shen Long is not a gentleman, he felt that using the ostrich metaphor is not cruel enough, so he said, "It's also like that tortoise, but whenever something happens, it retracts its head into its shell, thinking that it can escape the catastrophe, isn't it ridiculous?"
"Even if Wang Shao didn't attack Hehuang, wouldn't the party members attack the Song Dynasty? As long as the Song Dynasty can't defeat the party members, they will come back sooner or later." Sima Guang's approach is not unique, and the famous Han Qi also did it. Had a similar thing.
When Han Qi was in the Northwest, he was beaten badly by Xixia, and he lost countless troops. However, he was not punished, and he still held a high position. Shenzong thought that Han Qi had led soldiers to fight, so he asked him to consult on Liao policy. , and Han Qi actually answered like this.
He gave seven policies: first, do not communicate with Koryo, which will make the people of Liao unhappy, because Koryo is behind the ass of Liao; second, it is wrong for us to seize the Hehuang area by force; 3. Do not plant trees on the border. Because the woods have potential military value to block the Liao cavalry, and it will also make the Liao people unhappy; fourth, do not train the people; fifth, do not build walls on the border; sixth, do not manufacture weapons and equipment; finally, withdraw the border The newly appointed generals.
If these seven policies are implemented, the Song Dynasty will be completely defenseless in front of the Liao Kingdom; as for how to solve the threat of the Liao Kingdom, it is written in the sage books: The emperor widely implemented benevolent governance and selected talents If you can do anything, the world will naturally attach itself, not to mention a small Liao Kingdom!
Han Qi is lucky. He was born in the Song Dynasty. If you were sent to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, you would be thrown to the border villages like Di Shan, and let him persuade the Khitan people with the teachings of sages.
The perfect combination of the Song Dynasty's peaceful state-building spirit and Confucianism's conservative spirit made it impossible for the Song Dynasty to change the passive situation.
The sense of shame of Confucian scholars is very peculiar. The general order is what they want to maintain vigorously. As long as the general order remains unchanged, no matter how much the country suffers from external failures, they have neither a sense of crisis nor any shame; even more strange Yes, not only do they not feel ashamed, they can even be proud of it.
With this group of fuckers in the court, even if the generals can fight again, they will throw away all the things they win. Shen Long used to get angry when he saw this in the history books, but now he personally Hearing what Sima Guang did,
Can you live there patiently? If I didn't give you something powerful this time, I wouldn't be named Shen!
After talking with Su Song for a while, learning about the latest teaching and research progress of the lower school, and giving Su Song some ideas, Shen Long went back to his room to rest on the pretext of being tired from the journey.
As soon as it was dark, Shen Long came out of the room and flew westward on somersaulting clouds. After flying for about two or three hundred miles, he saw a few hill-like places in front of him and landed. seat, and then quietly flew back to Kaifeng.
The lights are still on in Sima Guang's study, and he and many old party officials are criticizing Wang Shao's move to expand the territory; whether Wang Shao's credit is placed in the Han and Tang Dynasties or the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely a great achievement, even if it is placed in the Dalai Lama. In the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong would be overjoyed when he heard it, and quickly changed his top ten military achievements to the eleventh.
But in the eyes of people like Sima Guang, it has become a scourge, and I don't know how these people's brains grow? You are afraid that Xixia will attack, so train your troops to kill Xixia! If you are afraid of Khitan cavalry, set up a defense line in Hebei! Is there any reason to reprimand the meritorious officials after making meritorious service?
"Wang Shao and other people who have harmed the country must not stay in the northwest. They should be recalled to the court and severely reprimanded. We will go to the court tomorrow to persuade the officials!" The discussion was almost over, and Sima Guang began to assign tasks. Come out to mention this matter, whoever starts to beat the side drum again, and whoever starts arguing with members of the new party.
He is not good at fighting, and when he encounters Xixia and Dangxiang attacks, he becomes a shy bastard, but he is as good as an old fox in political struggle.
The people discussed it well, and it was getting late, so they left one after another. Sima Guang personally sent them outside the door. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard a gust of wind, and a black mass fell from the sky and hit the street in front of Sima Guang. There was a loud bang, and countless smoke and dust were splashed.
When this happened, these civil servants almost peed in fright, some of them collapsed on the ground, their legs trembling, and the guards of Sima Guang's mansion rushed to protect them.
When the smoke cleared a bit, someone bravely held up a lantern to take a picture, and saw that what landed on the door of Sima Guang was a huge stone lion.
The man held the lantern and took a few steps forward. Under the light, the words on the lion's chest also appeared, and the words "traitor" were written on it bloody!
Now, everyone turned their attention to Sima Guang, this fell at your doorstep!
