Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 368 Wuyue Kingdom

Going down the river, Sun Yue hugged his lovely wife and concubine, sitting and looking at the beautiful scenery on the shore of the West Lake and the green mountains and buildings outside the mountains.

To say that Sun Yue has definitely been called the four words of Southern Expedition and Northern War in the past ten years, but the Northern Han Dynasty was a place of bitter cold, the Later Han Dynasty was a place of hot summer and plague, and the later Shu Dynasty, the road to Shu was difficult. to the sky.

Finally, the battlefield has been moved to the south of the Yangtze River. No matter how the battle is fought, at least the weather and beautiful scenery are very enjoyable. In addition, Sun Yue is here to be a salted fish this time. It is really a warm breeze that makes tourists Drunk, I no longer have any thoughts about fighting. I am thinking in my mind, should I go to the West Lake first tomorrow, or should I take my wife and I to the Thousand Island Lake?

It wasn't until the boat docked that Qian Chu, the king of Wuyue, greeted him personally with all the civil and military officials. Only then did he realize that he was still on official business, which seemed to be a national event.

After getting off the boat, Qian Chu politely led all the civil and military officials to salute Sun Yue, and Sun Yue quickly returned the salute to Qian Chu, anyway, it was a long time to work.

"I don't think that Sun Xianggong personally came to supervise the army. I, Wuyue Kingdom, are really flattered. Sun Xianggong has orders, and he obeys them all."

"Qian Guozhu, you are insulting me. How dare you call yourself a gentleman in front of you? I just came here for fun this time, so I dare not point fingers at you. However, if there is any beautiful food in this Hangzhou city , please introduce the king, hahahaha."

"Sun Xianggong was joking, come, come, let's stop standing on the pier and go to the palace to have a banquet, please."

"My lord please."

"Sun Xianggong please first."

"No, my lord please first."

As he said that, Qian Chu and Sun Yue pushed each other.

At this time, a rather ear-piercing voice said: "The lord of the country is the lord of a country, how can there be any reason to let others go first? If Sun Xianggong doesn't mind, why not go with the old man."

Sun Yue turned her head curiously, and saw a burly old man with black beard and hair behind Qian Chu, staring back at Sun Yue without fear, staring at a pair of big copper bell eyes.

Looking behind this person, it seems that most of the officials standing behind this person are looking directly at him without fear.

It seems that the officials in Wuyue Kingdom do not welcome him.

Qian Chu scolded: "Shut up, Mr. Sun. Since Mr. Sun came to Wuyue, he represents the Great Song Dynasty. As a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, this king should naturally let the envoy go first. Mr. Sun, please."

Sun Yue looked at the man for a long time with a half-smile but not a smile. Prime Minister Shen, that must be Shen Huzi, the famous leader of the anti-Song faction, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he laughed and said to Qian Chu: "The king said this." That's right, you are not only the leader of the Wuyue Kingdom, you are also the Generalissimo of the Army of the Song Dynasty. How can I, a deputy privy envoy, dare to walk in front of the Generalissimo of the Army? It is you, the leader of the country, who invites you first."

"No, no, Mr. Sun please first."

"My lord first please."

……

Just like this, another full quarter of an hour passed before the two of them laughed and walked arm in arm, with Wu Yue's civil and military officials following behind. However, Shen Huzi looked at Sun Yue with a rather unkind look, like a knife. Sun Yue didn't realize it.

Is it Wu Yue's characteristic? It's no big deal.

Speaking of it, in terms of Guozuo alone, Wuyue Kingdom is definitely the longest in the entire Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Even Wuyue Taizu Qian Liu did not fight the world, but Zhu Wenfeng, the Taizu of the Later Liang Dynasty. .

Then the Liang, Tang, Jin, and Han Dynasties in the Central Plains passed away, and the family name is still Qian.

The reason for this is of course not because of Wuyue's internal stability and strong strength. It is derived from Wuyue's national policy: children and grandchildren serve China well, and don't use different surnames to abolish the rituals of serving the great.

What does that mean?That is to say, future generations, you must do your best to serve the Shang Kingdom in the Central Plains, no matter whether they change the emperor or not, or how many emperors they change, you can have whatever surname you like. Niubi will firmly support anyone.

The Qian family has always put themselves in the position of the younger brother, and they have always been respectful, let alone proclaiming themselves emperors, if there is no canonization from the Northern Central Plains Shang Kingdom, they will never even proclaim themselves kings.It may be precisely because of this that the Qian family ended up really well, and it is said that it has been very prosperous until the 21st century.

In the eyes of Shangguo in the Central Plains, Wu Yue also played an irreplaceable role, that is, to restrain the Southern Tang Dynasty.The Wuyue Qian family also always remembered their mission, no matter how the world changed, they only focused on one thing: to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty.If you can fight well, you have to fight, but you have to fight more. If you are hungry, you have to fight Nantang to grab food. If you are full, you have nothing to do, but you have to fight Nantang.

At that time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was not the current Southern Tang Dynasty. At least before Chai Rong, the national power of the Southern Tang Dynasty was not inferior to that of the Central Plains. Even now, in terms of economic strength, it is actually no weaker than the Great Song Dynasty. , such a Wuyue, can the Central Plains Shangguo not like it?

But now, the situation of Wuyue Kingdom is actually very delicate.

Because anyone with long eyes can see that the unification of the Song Dynasty has become a reality. The former big country in the Central Plains needed Wu Yue because of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but what about after the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed?Could it be said that after Zhao Kuangyin destroyed Hou Shu, Southern Han, and Southern Tang successively, he might have kept Wu Yue alone and let him separate himself?

Just kidding, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't even stand his Jiedushi.

So I don't know when, suddenly there was a voice in Wuyue's court to unite Tang and resist Song Dynasty, and this political force is getting bigger and bigger. Up to now, most of the courtiers are actually anti-Song faction , on the contrary, the Song Dynasty faction gradually fell silent.

This is of course easy to understand. For example, Shen Huzi, who is now the prime minister in Wuyue, can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand, but if he is demoted to the Song Dynasty, what kind of official can he be?It is estimated that he must be at least two or three levels younger than Sun Yue.Who can stand it?

Besides, those who are willing to vote for Song Dynasty, do you dare to make a sound?Except Qian Chu himself, anyone who says this kind of thing is treason.The ghost knows what Qian Chu is thinking in his heart. There are so many officials, why don't you start shouting first? You talk loudly and don't spend money. If you really fight, it won't be their turn for officials like them to go to the battlefield. At worst, the great soldiers of the Song Dynasty will come to Hangzhou. Wouldn't he continue to be an official once he changed his uniform?

For various reasons, Wu Yue's current court is very strange. Qian Chu himself belongs to the Song Dynasty, and the others are all anti-Song.

Sun Yue was sent to Hangzhou at such a turbulent time, so this position is actually quite important. It’s not just anyone who can come. , what should I do if I kill Sun Yue directly?
More importantly, the extermination of the Southern Tang Dynasty has never been a military issue, but a political issue. First of all, it is more difficult to be famous as a teacher. Let others sleep soundly on the side of the couch. Isn't there really no decent reason for Zhao Kuangyin to say such a rascally thing?

It would be perfect if Wu Yue and Nantang could get angry first, and the Song Dynasty sent troops to 'mediate'.

It would be even more perfect if Wu Yue could also surrender after destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After all, you can't find any decent reason for fighting in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue?It is estimated that Zhao Kuangyin himself will not be able to do it.

And this is Sun Yue's real task. He can fight wars, understand politics, and have a sense of propriety. In fact, there are not many people with both civil and military skills in the Song Dynasty, so from this point of view, it cannot be said It's overkill.
