On this day, the entire Yongan County ushered in a long-awaited heavy snowfall.
Today, he is as handsome and powerful as Zhou Rong,
Who gave the chapter on the Southern and Northern Expeditions!
The universal celestial calendar number,
Two Rivers and Hundreds of Counties, Song Mountains and Rivers!
All the princes uphold the principle of peace and harmony,
Young people with lofty ideals need to donate!
The snow in Jingluo disappears and spring comes again,
The grass on Yongchang Mausoleum is lush.
The grass is strong…….
In front of the huge mound of mounds of Yongchang Mausoleum, a middle-aged man was reciting poetry.
"I didn't expect that the scenery of Emperor Taizu's Yongchang Mausoleum, combined with the heavy snowfall, and Brother Lu's magnificent poem, would really make people forget to leave!"
Xu Xian now came to the side of the middle-aged man and began to look up at the tall mound in front of him.
"Shuai Xu, why are you so elegant today and come to visit Taizu's Mausoleum?"
This middle-aged man is naturally Lu You.
"Brother Lu can come here, why can't I, Xu Xian?"
Xu Xian responded with a smile.
"yes!"
"Think about how prosperous the Song Dynasty was during the Xuanhe period. The Taizu Mausoleum is rumored to be as majestic as the imperial palace!"
"Unexpectedly, it has become a barren tomb now. Even the bones of Taizu have disappeared. Only this empty tomb is left!"
"I just hate that... Song Dynasty is incompetent... incompetent!"
Lu You began to sigh again.
"There's nothing we can do about it!"
"Who told Emperor Taizu to formulate a national policy of emphasizing culture and restraining military force?"
"It is because of this national policy that the martial arts in our Song Dynasty has dropped sharply. Everyone only knows how to enjoy themselves and indulge in fireworks and willow alleys without knowing how to extricate themselves!"
"In the future, the Song Dynasty suffered many attacks from the Tartars, until the Tatars of the Jin Kingdom invaded, occupied the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, and dug up all the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty!"
"This can be considered a cause and effect cycle!"
"The cycle of cause and effect!"
Xu Xian sighed with emotion.
"Commander Xu, you...you are the general of our Song Dynasty. How can you be so disrespectful and accuse him in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu?"
Lu You was naturally a little surprised when he heard Xu Xian's remarks.
"I, Xu Xian, have always only recognized right and wrong, not these so-called first emperors and queens!"
"Am I wrong to say that Taizu's worship of civility and restraint of martial arts led to the fall of Bianjing?"
By this time, Xu Xian no longer had the Song Dynasty in his eyes, so naturally he no longer had those scruples.
"Commander Xu, what you said is indeed true!"
"But this... this is the mausoleum of Taizu after all!"
Lu You was still a little apprehensive.
"I think that Chai Rong, Shizong of Zhou Dynasty, vigorously developed the military in order to conquer the Khitan in the north, and even recovered three of the sixteen states of Yanyun!"
"It's a pity that Chai Rong died young and had no chance to continue the Northern Expedition to recover all the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!"
"However, after Taizu stole the throne of the Chai family, he not only struck hard at home, but was submissive to the outside world, and even actively weakened his own military strength, which made the Song Dynasty enter a weak Song Dynasty!"
"Until Taizong succeeded to the throne, although he wanted to restore the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, he had neither the ability to command an army nor the talent to use soldiers. Taizu's policy of emphasizing culture and suppressing military force also began to work. After all, the dilemma of insufficient force appeared!"
"Taizong was powerless in the end and suffered a disastrous defeat in the Northern Expedition. From then on, the Song Dynasty never had the chance to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and it suffered from the scourge of the Tartars for a hundred years!"
"So the fall of Bianjing City to the Tatars began when Emperor Taizu abolished his martial arts!"
Of course Xu Xian also knew something about the history of the Song Dynasty.
"well……!"
"But there was nothing that Emperor Taizu could do about his emphasis on civility and restraint on military affairs!"
"If Emperor Taizu had not released his military power over a cup of wine, maybe the Song Dynasty would not have lasted for so long, and it would even have been like the Liang, Jin, Tang, Han, and Zhou dynasties, changing dynasties in almost a few years!"
"Wouldn't the world be even more chaotic?"
Lu You seemed to understand Zhao Kuangyin very well.
"yes!"
“Everything has pros and cons!”
"Who can judge the merits and demerits from ancient times?"
"It's a pity that Emperor Taizu could only end up with no bones left in the end!"
"Perhaps this also confirms the saying that good and evil will be rewarded in the end!"
"Back then, Emperor Taizu also relied on bullying the weak to win the throne. Now he has received retribution and ended up like this, right?"
When Xu Xian saw the deserted tomb of Song Taizu in front of him, he was filled with emotion.
"yes!"
"Since ancient times, which emperor in the world did not obtain the throne by seizing other people's throne?"
"Just like Yao, Qishun, and Shun, who were once rumored to have become sages in later generations by passing on their thrones, which one really relied on passing on their thrones?"
"Shuai Xu, do you think so?"
Lu You suddenly asked Xu Xian.
"Yes!"
"Didn't even the wise and virtuous Emperor Liu Xiu finally succeed to the throne by usurping the throne of Emperor Gengshi?"
"So the Song Dynasty, which is now in a state of decay, should really find a truly wise person to replace them!"
Xu Xian naturally no longer had any expectations for the Song Dynasty.
"I heard rumors in the world that Crown Prince Zhao Shen is a wise master!"
"And Marshal Xu, you are also familiar with the Crown Prince Zhao Shen. I wonder what you think of this Crown Prince?"
Lu You asked suddenly.
"Zhao Shen can indeed be called a benevolent, righteous, loyal and filial master, and he even has a desire to regain the Central Plains!"
"But in fact, he has a weak will, is difficult to make decisions about people, and is hesitant in his actions. In the end, he will embarrass the person who is in great use!"
"Otherwise, how could I, Xu Xian, end up in the situation I am now alone in?"
Xu Xian responded.
"This...is like this!"
"It seems that the Crown Prince Zhao Shen is just a member of the True Sect!"
"This Da Song Dynasty is really hopeless!"
"Hopeless!"
Lu You also looked desperate towards Da Song at this moment.
"is not that right?"
"I wonder what Brother Lu has planned in the future?"
Xu Xian changed the topic.
"What else can I plan to do? Of course I am going back to Lin'an to bow my head and confess my crime!"
Lu You looked dejected.
"Brother Lu, why is this necessary?"
"Since we are all here in Bianjing, why not join Xu Xian in fighting against the Tatars?"
"Even if we die in the hands of the Tatars in the future, it is better than if you go back, bow your head and confess your sins, and die in the hands of your own family!"
"What's more, your crime was all because of me, Xu Xian!"
"Compared to this small crime you committed, how can you be more serious than the crime of treason that I, Xu Xian, forced the emperor Zhao Gou to do!"
Xu Xian immediately began to persuade Lu You to stay.
"Forced into a uterus?"
"Conspiracy?"
"Commander Xu, is it true that you forced the emperor Zhao Gou into the palace as rumored?"
Lu You was also surprised when he heard that Xu Xian said that he was forced to concubine.
"Yes!"
"I became Prime Minister Xu and Minister of War because I relied on Xuzhou to force Zhao Gou to delegate power to Zhao Shen!"
"Later, I even led people to personally imprison Zhao Gou in Shaoxing Palace, so I have already committed such a serious crime as treason!"
"But Brother Lu, you don't have to worry, now that Hunjun has no way to do anything to me, Xu Xian!"
"But he has tried to trick me into going back with gold orders many times, and he wants to punish me!"
"But of course I, Xu Xian, am not a fool. There is no way I could have fallen into that foolish king's trick!"
Xu Xian told Lu Youyou what happened before. This chapter has been completed!
