[Comprehensive] Emperor

Chapter 61 Tyrant

tyrant

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, except for the era when Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen were in power, almost all of them have been suppressed by foreigners.The reason is that the Song Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs, and there were few military generals, let alone a generation of famous generals like Pang Tong who could bring down the surrounding countries.

But now this situation has changed, because the Song Dynasty now has the Taiping Palace Nine.

At first, because of Princess Changping's assassination and decided to attack Daliao, most of the ministers in the court were a little... afraid.How should I put it, if it weren't for the fierce internal fighting in Daliao these years, he would have come to trouble Daliao long ago, and how could there be peace so far.No, Daliao's wolfish ambition, just after stabilizing the internal political power, came to find trouble, but fortunately Li Tan cleverly cracked it down, otherwise I don't know what would have happened.

Li Tan stated righteously in the court the crisis of letting Daliao go, and made it clear that even if he tried his best this time, he would fight Daliao to death.The ministers of the imperial court also knew what kind of temper tricks the emperor was using, and they felt humiliated by Daliao's blatant slap in the face this time. After much deliberation, they decided to give up their comfortable life and fight Daliao to the end.

When it is decided to go to war, who will lead the troops becomes a problem.Therefore, Li Tan recommended Gong Jiu.

All the ministers said that Gong Jiu had no experience in leading troops. Li Tan was not angry when he was so refuted, but asked slowly: "Since the ministers said that King Taiping is not suitable, then, who is willing to ask for an order?"

Naturally, these civil servants didn't dare, so the position of the general who defeated Liao fell on Gong Jiu.

Gong Jiu took the decree, his face was calm, and he threatened to never destroy Daliao and never return to Song Dynasty.

Li Tan suddenly remembered that Cang Yunjun once said such a sentence - the day when Yanmen Pass snow melts, it is the time to return home.

In this way, does Gong Jiu also have the ambition of not destroying the enemy's country and not returning home like the soldiers guarding the frontier?

Seriously, it is extremely dazzling.

Sure enough, only Gong Jiu is a man worthy of him, and in this world, only Li Tan is qualified to have Gong Jiu.

Taiping Wang Gongjiu led Song soldiers to attack Daliao not only aroused heated discussions among the people, but also triggered an upsurge in the rivers and lakes.

Although this group of Jianghu people have no IQ, they are patriotic from the bottom of their hearts. They disliked the court before because of the court's fear and laissez-faire of the Daliao. The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty killed the Liao army.

The death of Yelu Hongji and the ascension of Yelu Honglin caused chaos within Daliao.

At this time, the Song Dynasty was equivalent to mastering the right time, place and people. In addition, Gong Jiu led the soldiers like a god, and defeated the Daliao army within a year.Daliao sought peace, and Emperor Li Tan threatened to cease the war only if he was willing to be his vassal.Daliao refused to allow it, and continued to fight. Taiping Wang Gongjiu, the general who defeated Liao, led Xuanjia Cangyun to attack the capital of Daliao. Emperor Yelu Honglin was also beheaded by Gongjiu himself.

Taiping Palace Nine threatened that those who surrendered would not be killed, and those who refused to obey would be executed.

Daliao, who had bullied Da Song many times and fought many small battles with Da Song, was destroyed.

What the Song Renzong failed to do back then, has been done by the current sage.

After Daliao was incorporated into the territory of the Song Dynasty, Li Tan ordered the people close to Daliao to migrate into Daliao, and let the people of Daliao migrate to the interior of Daliao, in order to dilute the lineage of Daliao and absolutely swallow Daliao.

The destruction of the Daliao made the surrounding countries very vigilant, especially Xixia and Tubo, two countries that always had friction with the Song Dynasty.

The following year, Princess Xixia married the prince of Tubo, and the two countries joined forces to fight against the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty, which had annexed the Daliao Dynasty, was rich in national power and had a huge territory. It took the attitude of taking the lead in destroying the country in response to the apparent cooperation between Xixia and Tubo against the Great Song Dynasty.

But only Li Tan and Gong Jiu knew that Tubo sent people to say that they hoped to use Daliao to attack Dali, because the royal family of Dali killed the Tubo national teacher.In fact, it is about the fact that the Tubo national teacher Jiumozhi went to Dali to snatch the Six Meridians Sword, and was later killed by the awakened Gong Jiu.

In fact, because of Jiumozhi, Li Tan himself has a bad attitude towards Tubo, and Tubo people think highly of themselves.Naturally, he didn't want to do such a thing, what's more, Dali himself had a very good relationship with Song Dynasty, and Yu Gongjiu was kind to him.Therefore, Li Tan naturally would not agree to Tubo's request. Tubo was embarrassed and said ugly things at that time.

Li Tan sneered at this, and threatened: "If you don't accept it, come to fight."

Tubo came to make him furious, and soon married Xixia, and Song Dynasty also chose to fight Tubo Xixia.

In fact, Li Tan's behavior now is equivalent to an invader. He invaded the land of other countries and expanded the territory of Song Dynasty almost crazily.Some civil servants couldn't stand Li Tan's attitude, so Li Tan dismissed those who prevented him from expanding his territory, and asked him to go home and think about his mistakes.

In fact, Li Tan really didn't understand what these people were thinking.It's a good thing for one's own country to be strong, but it just talks about benevolence, justice and morality.Da Song talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality for too many years, so he was bullied by those countries.Now that Li Tan has strength and everything is going well, he just let those who bullied Da Song learn a lesson!

In another three years, Li Tan made many personal expeditions, and together with the great general Wang Taiping and Wang Gongjiu, he attacked Xixia and Tubo. He used his troops like a god. Although he also failed in small battles, he never lost in major battles.

Repeatedly like reincarnation, Tubo and Xixia demanded reconciliation, Li Tan still asked them to surrender to Song Dynasty, otherwise there would be no talk.

So the result is naturally nothing to talk about. This battle lasted for five years, and both Xixia and Tubo were destroyed in the Song Dynasty.

And the small border countries, such as Dali and other countries, worshiped one after another, voluntarily surrendered to the Song Dynasty as their vassal state, and paid tribute every year to seek the protection of the Song Dynasty.

It took Li Tan ten years to regain the Great Song Dynasty, Xixia and Tubo, as well as many small border countries, and achieved a true unification.

However, because of these battles, countless soldiers died on the battlefield, and countless people in other countries also died.

The bones left on the battlefield are their family's expectations for them that will never be fulfilled.

All the ministers of the Song Dynasty praised Li Tan as the emperor through the ages. Li Tan didn't say anything about it, but made a surprising decree-never establish a concubine.

In fact, in the past ten years, there has been no one in the harem. This kind of thing has made the ministers very anxious. They have expressed the hope that Li Tan can marry a wife and concubine, but Li Tan said that Xixia Tubo is not destroyed, so he has no mood to fill the harem.These words are so high-sounding that no one dares to refute His Majesty's opinion.But this time, a real unification was finally achieved, but the emperor issued such a decree.

Looking at the group of ministers who knelt down and begged him to marry the concubine, or they would die for him, Li Tan's face was still sinking.

He stood up from the dragon chair, looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "I was enthroned at the age of ten, and I was in charge at the age of 14. When I was in court, I could only face the backs of the ministers, like puppets Afterwards, I look forward to pro-government among all people. I was worried that I would not be a good emperor, but I always remember that sentence-those who bully our country must be killed. Daliao, Xixia, and Tubo have often harassed the Song Dynasty since the founding of the Song Dynasty Boundary, bullying me, the Great Song Dynasty emphasizes culture over martial arts. I secretly accumulated strength, only to promote my country's prestige and destroy other peoples. It took me ten years to achieve my wish, but when I looked back, there were bones and crying everywhere. My ideals and ambitions have caused too many family members to be divided between yin and yang, and I... am a tyrant."

All the ministers were quiet and didn't know what to say, they knelt down on the ground and looked at each other.

There have been too many emperors in the history of China, and they all hoped to leave behind the title of a benevolent emperor and a wise emperor.Especially those stupid ones will try their best to make the embassy tamper with history.

And their group of ministers witnessed with their own eyes that an emperor who had achieved countless achievements and achieved unity declared himself a tyrant in front of his ministers.

Facing the silent but shocked ministers, Li Tan continued: "I am a tyrant, and I bear the tears of the people in Jiangshan, Sheji, and the bones of soldiers on my body. I don't want to leave any children. After a hundred years, I will definitely choose one of the most outstanding beings among the other descendants of the Zhao family to inherit my throne and continue the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, please think twice." All the ministers shouted in unison. Now they have deeply realized that their own emperor is different. The more meritorious the emperor, the more he hopes that his country can be continued by his heirs, but this emperor, but Voluntarily... gave up the inheritance.

"No need to say much, I have already made a decision, let's retreat." After saying that, he left without hesitation, regardless of the ministers who were kneeling on the ground.

Gong Jiu, who hadn't said a word all this time, quickly chased after him, and chased him into the room. Li Tan grabbed Gong Jiu's wrist and kissed his lips recklessly.Gong Jiu also passionately kissed back, the two of them kissed passionately in this room where countless love affairs happened, the kiss made them breathless and dizzy.

The two fell on the bed together, side by side but did not continue to do further things.

Gong Jiu panted heavily, and said softly: "Sure enough, I thought I knew you well, but only now did I realize that I don't know you well enough."

Li Tan held Gong Jiu's hand and smiled: "Why, did you think that I was very handsome when I came to court this morning?"

Gong Jiu turned sideways and stared into Li Tan's beautiful eyes: "...I used to think that you expanded your territory because of your dreams and ideals of an emperor through the ages. Now can you ask self-righteously, is it for me?"

"Sure enough, I was discovered by you. There is no need to feel self-righteous. I am here for you." Li Tan kissed Gong Jiu's forehead lightly, and said to Gong Jiu very seriously: "As the emperor, if I want to have only one woman in the harem, I will do it for you." It's a fantasy, let alone...announcing the things with you. I don't want you to be hurt by everyone, and let you, a great hero, be cursed by others, so I will bring down this country and become a tyrant. A tyrant who no one dares to question what he does.”
