Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]

Wanyan Chuo just said it so casually, but the speaker didn't mean it, and the listener meant it, Zheng Miyang frowned, a little unhappy, feeling that the other party was mocking him for knowing how to read sage books and not knowing the sufferings of the world.

Just by looking at his expression, he knew that the other party had misunderstood. What he said just now was from the bottom of his heart, without any sarcasm. In order to avoid a stalemate in the conversation, Wan Yanchuo had no choice but to open his mouth again, and patiently explained: "I heard Mr. Zheng His lofty theories and patriotism are touching. If there are fewer high-ranking officials in the government and the opposition, and more loyal people like Zheng Gongzi who worry about the country and the people, why not regain their homeland and reorganize the country? ?”

Hearing Wanyan Chuo's sincere appreciation, the expression on Zheng Miyang's face finally looked better, but he still said disapprovingly: "Young master's words are wrong. The sage said, cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, govern one's country, and bring peace to the world. If the temple is high, it will worry about its people; if it is far away from the rivers and lakes, it will worry about its lord. If everyone is like the young master who sees the great rivers and mountains falling to the enemy without doing anything, and stays out of the matter, let alone recovering the homeland, return to the old capital, I'm afraid that after a hundred years from you and me, the place where the bones are buried may not be the territory of the Great Song Kingdom."

Want to make trouble, right?Wan Yanchuo didn't take it seriously, as a commoner, even if it's nothing to do with him, so what? Could it be that he doesn't have the salary to eat the king, but he has to be loyal to the king, worrying about the common people in the world, and the common people?To put it bluntly, it's called eating salty radishes and worrying less. Wanyan Chuo considers himself an ordinary person, and he hasn't had such a high level of consciousness yet.

It is not as good as one's own to hold on to profit, but not to keep sharp.

Wanyan Chuo finally figured it out, whether he is selfish or ruthless, he is just a layman, he likes romance, and those things that worry about the country and the people, let those who care about the country and the world worry about it , as long as he takes care of his own little happiness.

Although it's not like Mr. Yang Zhu who is so light on things and value himself, it's okay to pluck out a hair to benefit the world, but the situation is changing too fast, and now he is no longer the noble son of King Jin Guorong, even if he wants to If you want to make some achievements and make great achievements, you don't have the capital to act recklessly and frivolously.

This kind of helplessness of wanting to kill a thief but being unable to bring back the sky is really not humane, it's fine if Zheng Miyang doesn't come to find trouble, but if he really comes to his door, Wan Yanchuo won't be polite, and if his words change, he'll be rude immediately He said: "Young Master Zheng just mentioned that the two countries, Song and Jin, are in the same situation and will never be in harmony... It is true that the Song and Jin countries are separated by blood and blood, and the contradictions are irreconcilable. There were less than [-] children in the middle school. After they raised their troops to fight against the Liao Dynasty, they established a maritime alliance with the Song Dynasty and agreed to be a state of brothers. To this day, although there are occasional battles on the border between the two countries, they have never really hurt the peace. It is easy to start a war. Stopping the war is difficult, in order to save the people of the Jin and Song Dynasties from suffering from the war, they should also be vigilant and fearful, not to take advantage of the merits, and start the war lightly."

Zheng Miyang obviously didn't understand, and concluded with only four words: "The benevolence of a woman!"

After hearing this comment, Wanyan Chuo didn't know whether he should be thankful or smile wryly. In order to be worthy of the notorious young master of Wanmo Cave in the Central Plains martial arts, Wanyan Chuo was ready to throw away his gentle and harmless little white rabbit. The image turned to the image of the murderous god Wu Anjun, but now a white-faced scholar suddenly appeared and scolded him for the benevolence of a woman. Wanyan Chuo really wanted to pick up the other party's collar and question loudly: "Know what?" Is it called a woman's benevolence? Make it clear, idiot!"

"What Mr. Zheng said, I do not agree with you." Wanyan Chuo supported his chin with one hand, looked up at Zheng Miyang, and said with a sneer: "Buddhists say that if you let go of one thought, you will be at ease. The grievances between the Jin and Song Dynasties have a long history. Since no consensus can be reached, why not shelve the dispute, and why dwell on the past, which will only cause discomfort."

"Youyun Sixteen States, that is the homeland left to us by our ancestors, how can we just let it go?"

Wanyan Chuo's ears were almost numb when he heard similar words. It is true that Youyun Sixteen Prefectures belonged to Song State, but Jin State did not cut Youyun Sixteen Prefectures from Song State. It seems that it is unreasonable to pester Jin Guo.Everyone in the world knows that when the Song and Liao countries went to war, the Song State was defeated and lost, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun fell and belonged to the people of the Liao Kingdom. Zhouzhou, to put it bluntly, these cities are all Jurchens who are not afraid of death, throwing their heads and blood in exchange for it. There is such an easy thing.

Wan Yanchuo firmly believes that one should never imagine that a city that cannot be conquered by military means can be obtained through diplomatic negotiations.

Since he knew that there would be no result in discussing the ownership of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures with Jin Guo, and still clinging to this point, sooner or later, the two countries will die together.

"Mr. Zheng keeps saying that Youyun Sixteen Prefectures are the land left by his ancestors and cannot be recovered. After death, he will have no face to see the sages and sages. Have you ever thought about the Li people who have lived on this land for generations? You know, the land is Dead people are alive."

Zheng Miyang was obviously confused by Wanyan Chuo, he just stayed where he was, speechless.

"Students are angry and talk about war on paper. It is impossible to return to the old capital and restore the homeland. Back then, the Song and Liao countries had the Tanyuan alliance. There was no sword for more than a hundred years. The Jurchens were angry and raised troops. Jin formed an alliance and sprinkled the last pinch of loess for the destruction of the Liao Kingdom. Now I realize that I was seeking skin from the tiger and raising the tiger as a threat..." At the end, while sighing, Wanyan Chuo still did not forget to make some points. Said: "The lessons learned from the past should be taken as a warning by future generations, and we must not commit the same crime again, otherwise, it will only increase the laughter."

Zheng Xianyang was confused by Wan Yanchuo's words: "Young master, why did you say that?"

Now that this has been said, Wanyan Chuo no longer hides it, and cuts to the chase: "Could it be that Mr. Zheng has forgotten the prudent words that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the house is dangerous?"

Zheng Miyang had an epiphany, and he was enlightened in an instant: "Master, do you mean Mongolia, which is entrenched in the northern grasslands and is eyeing like a tiger?"

Wan Yanchuo nodded in satisfaction, a child can be taught, and he wasted so much saliva: "Nowadays the world is divided into regimes, countries are vying for hegemony, in terms of force, Mongolia is the strongest, in terms of wealth, Song is the most, let me ask, a prosperous country Will the wealthy Song State attract the coveted Mongols who occupy the north? If the Mongols send their troops to the south, can the Song State make another Jianyan southward journey?"

Zheng Miyang was puzzled: "There is a kingdom of Jin between Mongolia and Song. The borders of the two countries are not bordering each other. How did the Mongols move south?"

"Emperor Huizong had the same thought when he decided to destroy the Liao Dynasty with the Jin Dynasty. What happened?" Wan Yanchuo couldn't help chuckling: "How many years has it been since the Jingkang disaster? Forgot the lessons of that year." Yet?"

After being reminded by Wan Yanchuo, Zheng Miyang realized that the Mongols are definitely not easy to get along with. At this time, instigating the hatred between the Jin and Song Dynasties is tantamount to asking for a dead end, and letting the Mongols take advantage of it. profit.Taking a step back, if Mongolia is really capable of destroying the Kingdom of Jin, and next to an ambitious neighbor with a strong military force, how will the Kingdom of Song deal with itself?

"It's true that there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. It's in vain for me to think that I have few talents. Now I know what it means to listen to your words, which is better than ten years of reading." Zheng Miyang was completely convinced: "I don't know what else you have to say. Please do not hesitate to teach me.”

Wanyan Chuo was a bit embarrassed by the praise. It wasn't that he had a sharp eye and could understand the general trend of the world that many people couldn't see through, but that there was evidence in history. Pushing backwards and summing up the experience and lessons, it is really not worth mentioning.In fact, the reason why Mongolia was invincible and wiped out Xia Kingdom, Jin Kingdom and Song Kingdom one after another was that it was able to move freely among various countries and take the opportunity to sow dissension. The conspiracy of watching tigers fight and reaping the benefits of the fisherman is hard to guard against, because whether it is Xia Guo and Jin Guo, Jin Guo and Song Guo, or Xia Guo and Song Guo, there are irreconcilable contradictions between each other, and Most of these contradictions are caused by territorial disputes, and they are intertwined and deadlocked.

Presumably, the Mongols have also seen through this point, so they will be unscrupulous, and they will fan the wind and light the will-o'-the-wisp with all their strength. Among the three lords, there must be a man with great talent and broad-mindedness. He will take the lead and sincerely invite the three countries to form an alliance to resist Mongolia. Only when they are defeated can they be established.

Wan Yanchuo chose his nominal cousin at the beginning, the former His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Jin, Wanyan Xu, but he didn't know whether Wanyan Xu, who is now His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, would be able to take such a great position. .

Thinking of Wanyan Xu who was far away in the capital city, he felt in a daze. Sure enough, he hadn't contacted him for a long time, was his relationship strange?Wanyan Chuo couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Young master...Young master!"

"Sorry, I was distracted just now." Hearing Zheng Miyang's voice, Wan Yanchuo suddenly came back to his senses, pointed at the crowds of people on the street through the wide open window, and continued: "Look at the busy merchants and hawkers on the street. , what does Mr. Zheng think?"

Zheng Mianyang gave a slightly conservative answer without hesitation: "The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit."

Wan Yanchuo smiled meaningfully, neither right nor wrong: "It is said that businessmen value profits and despise parting, this is true, Mr. Zheng might as well take a closer look at the traders coming and going, but Are they all Han Chinese?"

Is there even a question?You don't even need to look to know.

"The state of Song is rich and prosperous, and the land of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River has been prosperous since ancient times. Of course, the merchants and pawns who came to hear the news will not miss it. This is driven by interests. It is not surprising!"

Zheng Mianyang was thoughtful.

"The same is true for business, and the same is true for governing the country. The Central Plains has a profound cultural background and profound knowledge, which will naturally attract neighboring countries to follow suit. Over time, it will be the same as the Central Plains dynasty. It is ridiculous that those courtiers who live in high temples, eat vegetarian meals, and mediocre people all think about it. Pretending to be ignorant, one bites one barbarian land, one bites one uneducable, as everyone knows, if the Xia Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, whether it is the laws and regulations, or the ritual and music civilization, the manners are not different from the Chinese, like this kind of paradox Aren't my neighbors easier to get along with than the blood-drinking, cruel and easy-to-kill Mongols?"

Zheng Mianyang deeply agrees.
