Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

"It's a pity that I couldn't keep the pharmacist for a little longer."

Li Shimin was somewhat regretful.

After Hou Junji's memorial was urgently sent to Chang'an, Li Jing could no longer sit still.

For several days, he said that he was in good health, that time was running out in Nanyang, that cement was of great use to the country, and that the achievements of the naval army would last for thousands of years.

As a last resort, Li Shimin finally had to approve Li Jing's request, and reluctantly watched the old general go east along the river, wanting to go to Yizhou first and then to Zhuya.

But Li Jing was not wrong in his anxiety.

The item called cement in later generations was successfully prepared and trial-produced by Yan Liben.

It is used to build walls and roads, and its price is cheaper than blue bricks and slightly more expensive than loess.

But the roads built are not afraid of heavy rain, and are far better than rammed earth roads.

Whether it is Li Shimin or Li Jing, or Yan Liben who personally prepared and restored this item, they all believe that this item is of great use whether it is building cities to defend against enemies or paving roads to benefit the people.

It is very useful and not expensive, so Li Shimin had many ideas.

In this case, it is obviously not enough to rely on iron ore slag to replace volcanic ash to make cement.

Later generations said that Zhuya is the only place in China that produces volcanic ash. Although the transportation is not the same, Li Jing still insisted on going to see, what if?

In addition, it is also very important to support the Yizhou naval forces, suppress Zhuya, and manage the South China Sea.

The map shows clearly that the Strait Road, which was later called Malacca, is the gateway to the East China Sea in China, just like Gaochang in the Western Regions, and both must be taken.

Duke of Lu, Hou Junji, Duke of Dai, Li Jing, managed Nanyang.

Duke of Cao, Li Shi𪟝, General of the Left Guard, Liu Rengui, managed the East China Sea.

General of the Right Tunwei, Su Dingfang, General of the Cavalry, Xue Rengui, managed Qinghai Hexi.

Every time after thinking about it in his mind, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh:

Now he is the only one who is idle.

The Tang emperor was lost in thought, but Du Ruhui had a preliminary understanding of the meaning:

"It seems that the words used in recording history must be accurate, so that it can be used as a dialectic for later generations."

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly. After all, the "magic Jinshu catalogue" that was often ridiculed by later generations was supervised by him, and it was extremely inaccurate.

Compared with the various filial sons and strange stories recorded in the "Book of Jin", the "innumerable" mentioned by the historian of the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively accurate.

This bitter smile fell into Du Ruhui's eyes, and he almost instantly understood the dilemma of his old friend, so an idea also came to his mind:

"If you are in trouble, why not compile two volumes of the "Book of Jin"? "

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and cast a questioning look.

Du Ruhui smiled confidently:

"Check the evidence, examine the basis, and record the history of Jin Dynasty in detail."

"The rest of the strange stories, magical words, rural anecdotes, etc. that are not included in the official history, will be compiled into another volume and asked Your Majesty and the others to comment on it. It can also be compiled into a book and named..."

Fang Xuanling almost did not hesitate to answer:

"Let's call it "Magic Book of Jin"!"

As for why it is called magic? Let future generations guess.

...

"Can you lose this?"

Zhang Fei felt a little toothache and couldn't help muttering:

"If the Southern Song Dynasty does not fulfill my wish, I should not have any hope."

Liu Bei did not speak, vaguely remembering that the younger generation had mentioned Wei Yan's death, and it seemed that they also said that Wei Yan and Yang Yi were brainless and unhappy.

Now Wei Yan is leading the army in Jingbei to fight against Cao, and Yang Yi has also inquired about it before. Yuan Zhi wrote a letter saying that after breaking Wancheng, there was a person named Yang Yi who took the initiative to ask to see Yunchang.

Talking about the great plans of the country and the political gains and losses, Yang Yi's words are all meaningful, so Yunchang promoted him to be a military official, in charge of military equipment and affairs, and he is also quite talented.

Now the war in northern Jing is tense, and Liu Bei himself is far away in Sizhou and can't say anything, so he can only tell him not to let Yang Yi work with Wei Yan.

Although he doesn't know whether this Yang Yi is the same Yang Yi, Liu Bei thinks it's always better to be careful.

Lu Su just sighed:

"Calling you uncle, paying 50,000 less money and silk, is this a good deal?"

"Why not?"

Zhang Fei took the initiative to jump out and said:

"I still remember that Wanyan Gou refused to give up, and it's hard to say whose intention is this peace agreement."

"Besides, the Song Emperor wants to call the Jin Emperor uncle, and Wanyan Gou daddy."

"Wouldn't Wanyan Gou become the eldest brother of the Jin Emperor?"

"Why not?"

Lu Su felt his head was confused for a while, but then he had to admit:

What Yide said seemed to make sense.

And think about it again, which one is better, a Jin Song or a Song that is inferior but does not need to be enthroned by Jin? Lu Su felt that he could not tell.

But he knew that he did not want to choose either of them.

Zhang Fei's opinion made Liu Bei speechless, and Kong Ming just shook his head and sighed:

"Nominally no longer a vassal..."

But he did not want to say more, and turned to say:

"This Lu You, it seems that he is also a man with a bad fate."

"Bad fate..." Liu Bei's eyes were a little more cold:

"The people of the Southern Song Dynasty, who are concerned about the country, how can they not have a bad fate?"

[After the Longxing Peace Talks, the political form of the Southern Song Dynasty was very deformed.

The biggest problem actually involved a legal issue.

Although Song Xiaozong was a direct relative of Zhao Kuangyin, this bloodline was actually useless.

Among the nine emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, except for Zhao Da and Zhao Er, the other seven emperors were descendants of Zhao Er, including Wanyan Gou himself.

Moreover, 186 years have passed since Zhao Daga died, and he has basically been in a state of traveling alone.

So Song Xiaozong's power actually all came from his adoptive father Wanyan Gou.

That is to say, on this basis, even if Song Xiaozong advocated war, he could not break with the peace faction, after all, he still had an adoptive father to pressure him.

After the failure of the Longxing Northern Expedition, Zhao Gou quickly showed his intention to flee:

"Hire 500 men a day, stand under the palace, and each man is paid 1,000 a day, and each is prepared to carry the burden."

After all, he was already the emperor at that time, and no one could control him.

And when the news came that the Jin Kingdom wanted to negotiate peace, Zhao Gou was also greatly relieved, urging Song Xiaozong to what he was doing, and to negotiate peace quickly.

After confirming the discussion, Wanyan Gou gave his adopted son a personal instruction:

When you meet the envoy, you must stand up and accept the letter of state, and don't forget the relationship between me and the Jin Kingdom in the "Shaoxing Peace Agreement".

That is why, in the edict of the Longxing Peace Agreement, Song Xiaozong had no choice but to admit: I dare not violate the will of the Supreme Saint.

It can be said that he was one of the most incompetent emperors in the two Song dynasties.

In addition to hindering Song Xiaozong in diplomacy, the Wanyan clan also adhered to the principle of harming others and benefiting themselves in domestic affairs.

Let’s not talk about the corrupt officials who cried to Zhao Gou and forced Song Xiaozong to withdraw his order, just talk about making money.

In order to make money, the royal family of the two Song dynasties implemented a wine monopoly system. In order to make money, Wanyan Gou ordered palace servants to make wine privately in the palace, and cooperated with the merchants in Lin'an quite happily.

Later, all the merchants in Lin'an found that Song Xiaozong was a decoration. As long as you put the flag of Wanyan Gou's De Shou Palace on your merchant ship, no one dared to collect taxes from you, and they all followed suit.

In the end, even the manure boats in Lin'an were printed with the logo of De Shou Palace to legally avoid taxes, which became a laughing stock in Lin'an City for a while.

Even Xin Qiji's good friend recorded it in his collection of essays:

Xin Youan said that the manure boats also put the flag of De Shou Palace. I didn't believe it at first, but later I was promoted to Zhejiang East and saw it with my own eyes. 】
