Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 655 Control Your Own Destiny

Su Chen made a promise to Ling'er, and it was also a choice he made after repeated consideration and conflicts in his heart.

With this choice, he feels that he can let go of himself, because he can truly show his talent in this troubled world, because no matter whether he is controlled by others in the Southern Tang Dynasty, working for Li Yu, who is indecisive and incapable of governing the country, has no future at all.

Facts have proved that when Li Yu is threatened, he will easily send Su Chen out for the sake of Nantang, kill the chicken and take the eggs, and choose to be destroyed slowly, without any backbone and blood.

As written in the Theory of the Six Kingdoms, using land to serve Qin is like putting out a fire with a salary. If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished. This is a truth.

Su Chen is also full of resistance to going to the Northern Song Dynasty, because it will be an unfamiliar environment, and the treacherous situation in Bianjing City may not be known to others, but Su Chen has read the history of the Song Dynasty, and he knows very well that the current Zhao Guangyi has become a Kaifeng mansion. Yin, who has been in business for five years, has been cultivating his own power, and because of the oral agreement of the Golden Chamber Alliance, Zhao Guangyi already believes in his heart that he has the hope of inheriting the throne.

Then there will inevitably be conflicts between Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Kuangyin, and this is where Su Chen is in trouble.

Although he could remind Zhao Kuangyin to be vigilant and cautious, but according to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin still trusted his younger brother very much, and it was not his turn to gossip and destroy the brotherly relationship between them.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't waver in his heart until 15 years after the founding of the country, when his prince had grown up. After all, his child had grown up, and there was no doubt that he would be the master of the country. He should pass the throne to his son or to himself The younger brother, hesitant, this is an inner conflict that ordinary people will have.

Because if I have two sons who have grown up, but don't pass the throne to my son, but to my younger brother, it is likely to kill my son.

This was also proved afterwards. Zhao Kuangyin's two sons died one after another after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne; the eldest prince Zhao Dezhao chose to commit suicide because he was annoyed and frightened by Zhao Guangyi's reprimand.

The little prince, Zhao Defang, had symptoms similar to his father's, and died suddenly overnight. The incident was suspicious and suspicious.

Some scholars in later history speculated that whether it was Zhao Kuangyin or Zhao Defang, they were actually poisoned and died of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but it was not easy for the imperial physician to detect.And the person who prepared the poison was probably Cheng Dexuan.

Because Cheng Dexuan is proficient in medical skills and is Zhao Guangyi's loyal staff, he is promoted every time after the incident.

Unless Zhao Kuangyin can tear his face apart in advance, demote Zhao Guangyi out of the capital, relieve him of the position of the important center, and firmly control him, otherwise, whether it is a normal succession or deprived of power, Zhao Kuangyin's descendants will There will be no good end, even if it is his own nephew and brother, Zhao Guangyi will not let it go.

Su Chen didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so he didn't want to go north, the more Zhao Kuangyin expressed his expectation and appreciation for him.The more Su Chen felt that he was in danger, he might become the target of Zhao Guangyi's wooing or attacking, the danger was too great.

Be on the safe side, unless Su Chen secretly seeks refuge with Zhao Guangyi and obeys Zhao Kuangyin on the surface, but Su Chen doesn't bother to do this kind of duplicitous approach. Therefore, since Yang Ling'er gave him a new option, and he can let him play, then Su Chen I was really moved.

If he can create his own base in the land of Zhangquan and Wuyue, intelligence organizations, chambers of commerce, guards, etc., create an elite cavalry under his command, and cooperate with the black powder weapon, Su Chen feels that even if the separatist regime becomes It is also possible to become a king, or to establish a country and become a vassal.

In this way, you can hold your destiny in your own hands, rely on your current knowledge, and innovate in gunpowder, industry, and commerce, and you can do a lot.

Su Chen said: "This matter is no small matter. Although I promised to help you, I still need to plan it carefully. Take this golden cicada's shell as an example, when and where to do it, so as not to make people suspicious is also the key. And , this matter, not many people know about it. The escape path must be properly arranged."

Yang Ling'er nodded and said: "Brother Su Chen, you are right. You can also plan the specific implementation by yourself. You can ask what kind of manpower you need. I will let the elite of Heiyundu cooperate with you and send people to arrange it in advance. on site."

Su Chen pondered for a while and said: "After my golden cicada escapes its shell, I want to leave Jiangnan for a while, go to the island to stay for a few months, avoid the limelight, then change my identity, and then go to the land of Zhangquan to find you, and plan for Heiyundu how?
"How to lay out to capture Wuyue, develop military industry and commerce, appease the people, and consolidate them. These must have policies and strategies. Only the cities we build can be used by ourselves and the local people can accept us. Otherwise, it is just a cold empty city, which is of no use. Big."

Yang Linger said: "Yes, we are going to attack Wuyue. At present, Wuyue's army is in Runzhou, and the troops are empty. There are not many defenders in the local cities. It is not difficult for us to conquer some cities, but how can we make Wuyue people accept us? To manage one side, this requires Brother Su Chen to formulate a plan. Because General Lu and the others only know how to lead troops to fight, kill people and rob property, and they are not good at governing the country."

Su Chen warned: "Well, don't let them spread this matter to the outside world. It must be kept secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better. At that time, I will change my identity and come to you to formulate some strategies together. When the time is right, I will resume Su Chen's identity, perhaps by then, the Tang State will no longer exist, and there is no need to face the struggle with the Tang State."

Yang Ling'er nodded and said, "That's right, once you don't arrive at Bianjing as promised, then the Song army will definitely turn its anger on Southern Tang and continue to attack. At that time, both the eastern front and the western defense will face the danger of defeat. After half a year, maybe Tang will be defeated The city will be destroyed. At that time, it will be the best time for us to restore the country."

Su Chen said: "Yes!"

Yang Ling'er smiled slightly and said: "Brother Su Chen, thank you for standing by my side. In fact, my ambition is not that great. I didn't imagine becoming a generation of empress like Wu Meiniang in the previous dynasty. I only hope to restore Yang Wu's national title, and at the same time He can avenge more than 370 members of our Yang clan. In the future, if Brother Su Chen has enough ability and ability, he can eventually become a vassal king, or even separate himself from one side."

Yang Linger's meaning is actually very obvious. She is telling his righteous brother that she does not have to be a queen, she has a strong ambition to dominate, and her more purpose is to seek justice for the people of the clan and let the kingdom of Wu The number is restored again, the ancestral temple is rebuilt, and you can enjoy the incense of a country.

She is a daughter, but she also hopes to continue the glory of her ancestors.

Su Chen nodded slightly, with some surprises and thoughts in his heart, after all, this choice changed his original path.

If it is said that he didn't have too high aspirations before, nor did he have any grand plans to dominate, but just wanted to compromise, he would at most be a favored minister in the feudal dynasty.

However, his experience in the Southern Tang Dynasty made him discover that being a courtier is nothing more than a pawn in the end, to be manipulated by others, and he will not have independent power.

Therefore, Su Chen wanted to change his way of life, to be able to control his own destiny.

Although it is difficult to conquer the world, he is full of initiative. This requires him to change his thinking as soon as possible, make a plan, build his own team, and then lead his own team to do a great job.
