Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

"Xin Qiji became famous because of his poetry. It can be said that he was forced to do so."

Everyone in the Manna Hall felt a little bit sad about this.

Since the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, people from all walks of life have been vying for each other, and who to serve has become an issue that has to be considered.

Complacency is like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. One of them took the initiative to defect and the other was recruited as a former Sui official. Overall, they can be considered happy to cooperate.

But for Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Shubao and others, seeing that Xin Qi was pregnant with illness at this moment, it was difficult for him to feel comfortable, and only he knew how happy he was in his heart.

After all, several of them were serving as officials in Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, or Li Mi. It can be said that if there was a slight surprise, they might not be able to stand here.

The one who felt particularly emotional was Qin Qiong. Looking back now, he first came to protect his son, then followed Zhang Xutuo, and then followed Li Mi and Wang Shichong, and finally entered the palace of Prince Qin.

Thank you, Your Majesty, for not abandoning the appointment of the commander-in-chief of the Ma Army as the third unified army on the right.

In four years, he destroyed King Kong of the Song Dynasty, defeated Dou Jiande, frightened Wang Shichong, defeated Liu Heita, accomplished extraordinary feats, gained fame and became the Duke of the Kingdom of China. Compared with Xin Qiji, he was already lucky.

The mountains and rivers are shattered, and there are internal and external troubles.

He clearly has the heart to mend the cracks in the sky and the courage to break the formation and capture the enemy.

But I can only waste my time and write about my sorrow, which is the most helpless thing.

Under this comparison, Qin Qiong even felt introspective:

He had promised to wait until he recovered before leading the army to solve His Majesty's problems. Now that the old illness is no longer serious, Qinghai will be restored, and Gaochang still has roadblocks blocking trade routes, why not leave?

Chu Suiliang, who was copying on the side, looked up at some poems of the Tang Dynasty hanging in the Ganlu Hall, then tasted Xin Qiji's poems and praised:

"This poem written by Xin Qiji shows that the age is twilight but the heart is not twilight, and it actually has a bit of the heroic sentiments of frontier fortress poetry."

Speaking of this, Du Ruhui was somewhat curious:

"Although this younger generation is not happy with the civil servants of the Northern Song Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrat still dared to go to the front line. I think there will be some excellent military works passed down to the world."

"In the Southern Song Dynasty... I wonder if there are other scholars who can be talented in the battlefield."

He suddenly remembered the name Lu You in his mind, wondering what his fate was?

Wen and Wu lamented, and Li Shimin also lamented:

"How could Zhao Gou live to be eighty-one?"

The subtext is also very obvious. To everyone in Ganlu Hall, it is not a secret that this Tiance general died at fifty.

Regarding the pattern of the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin himself felt a lot of regrets.

Although Liaodong was victorious, Goryeo was not at peace; although the Western Turks were weak, they were still unworthy of submission; the prince was easy to retain, but the pheasant slaves had only been trained for a few years, and they lacked grandeur in handling affairs for the king.

In short, if you can live three to five years longer, you may be able to avoid some disasters and tragedies.

Empress Changsun pursed her lips and smiled, gently pulled the particularly unfair monarch of the Tang Dynasty over, squeezed her palms and said:

"Your Majesty has restored the old business of the Han Dynasty and cultivated civil and political affairs. He has made up for the damage caused by the cholera in the Sui Dynasty. How many things do you need to worry about?"

"He works hard and sleeps day and night, and he spends a lot of time in the morning. Most of them work hard like that Wuhou, but they get the root of the disease."

These words made Li Shimin smile, but he still remained reserved and said:

"I...I cannot compare with Marquis Wu."

As he spoke, he also sighed:

"There are few people in Shu. Marquis Wu is doing his best, but he still needs to work hard."

"In my Tiance Mansion... who is not the most talented person in the world?"

Then everyone in the Ganlu Hall laughed and held their hands in congratulations from a distance.

Sun Simiao curled his lips slightly at the side, wanting to say that if it is an illness, it must be treated. How does it have anything to do with hard work?

But seeing the emperor and empress making peace, he could only shake his head in silence in the end, looking at the light curtain with a little hope in his heart. Did he remember that Song Ci was from the Southern Song Dynasty, right?

…

"Finally we can see the whole word!"

Liu Bei was slightly excited.

From what can be seen from the light curtain, future generations still regret the overthrow of Ji Han after 1,700 years, and looking back now - after knowing clearly the dilemma of the Southern Song Dynasty, and after knowing the difficulties of Xin Qiji, It has a completely different feeling.

He seemed to be able to see a young man playing a sword and singing loudly, and a young man riding a horse in the dust south in his fifties.

Show your heart to the emperor with a pure heart, and whiten your head for the rest of your life.

I have been depressed and frustrated for more than 20 years, and in my dreams I still remember the Northern Expedition to revive the country.

I wonder if Xin Qiji, who is more than sixty years old, climbed up the building and looked forward to the scene, remembered that Liu Bei had also lamented the resurrection of the flesh?

Now Liu Bei has settled in Luoyang, the old capital, and can think about the question "Who is the rival of the world's heroes?" with ease.

But I wonder if Xin Qiji can fulfill his life ambition?

"There are so many things that have happened throughout the ages that cannot stop the Yangtze River from flowing."

Kong Ming also waved his fan and sighed, admiring him almost immediately.

Even Lu Su had a smile on his face:

"When the Han Dynasty is completed, it will definitely imitate this poem and write down it in writing."

Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "Naru, military advisor, you have to hurry up. The changes you make will definitely be much better than those made by later generations."

"Changes in later generations?"

"Yeah, I still remember a few sentences, um..."

Zhang Fei recalled it and said smoothly:

"Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, who gave away one hundred thousand people in Hefei."

"Who is the rival of the heroes in the world? Chibi Yi... Big brother, please don't fight."

Seeing the lord in front of him jumping up and chasing after General Yi De's head, Lu Su was stunned.

[Unexpectedly, or perhaps reasonably, Xin Qiji was quickly dismissed from his position as Zhenjiang prefect.

The reason was quite simple. He had a conflict with Han Zhouzhou.

This story sounds quite far-fetched, because Han Tuozhou at that time was eager to conquer the north and make achievements and go down in history. Xin Qiji was also 26 years old when he wrote "Ten Essays on Beautiful Plans" and advocated the Northern Expedition in front of Zhao Gou.

The contradiction between the two war factions was also very simple. Xin Qiji did not agree with the Kaixi Northern Expedition, and even shouted the slogan "It will take another 20 years to conquer Jin."

If you are not absolutely in favor of war, you are absolutely not in favor of war. Xin Qiji was impeached by the censors and dismissed again.

The reason for requesting a postponement of the Northern Expedition was certainly not because Xin Qiji "made up", but because Xin Qiji discovered the major flaws in the "Ten Essays on Beautiful Plans" he had presented.

First of all, it needs to be affirmed that "Ten Essays on Beautiful Plans" is undoubtedly the top military masterpiece of the Song Dynasty.

Among them, the idea of ​​the Northern Expedition was very advanced. He hoped to attract the attention of the Jin Kingdom by raising troops in Sichuan, Xiangyang, and Huaixi, and then launch warships to the north along the coastal route to Shandong. He could not only go north to attack Huanglong, but also coordinate with the southern army to deal with the encirclement of the Jin Army. This kind of land and sea coordinated tactics was extremely rare in ancient times.

He also suggested selecting smart people from the civil officials to join the army as advisers, but required such advisers to only attend and explain strategic goals to the soldiers, and not to interfere in command, so as not to repeat the disaster of the military supervisors in the Tang Dynasty. This system has a bit of the flavor of political commissars.

He even made a rather bold suggestion to reform the court and the military system, and put forward the concise and meaningful suggestion of "consulting with the masses and making decisions with the sole decision", which also has a bit of the flavor of democratic centralism.

He also accurately judged the weakness of the Jin Dynasty, and his argument was quite philosophical, "If you don't succeed, you will risk death to seek wealth and honor, and if you succeed, you will keep wealth and honor and value your life."

From the perspective of historical development, we also know that Xin Qiji's judgment was correct:

The speed of the decline of the Jurchen nobles in the Jin Dynasty is also ranked first in history. 】
