Chapter 228 The Emperor's Dream

When Meng Xiuyuan heard Mr. Huang's words, he couldn't help being stunned.

He was so absorbed in practicing kung fu that he forgot that there was such a thing as the battle between Song and Liao among the dragons.

Compared with the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty in the previous life, although the Northern Song Dynasty in this life can not be said to be very prosperous and peaceful, at least the overall social environment is relatively stable.

So Meng Xiuyuan spent most of his time in the small circle of Jianghu in the past ten years.

Although I also came into contact with the Dali royal family and the Xixia royal family, but most of them were just doing things with them as a person in the martial arts world.

At this moment, Huang Jinyu suddenly mentioned the incident in the Great Song Dynasty Hall, which reminded Meng Xiuyuan of some bits and pieces of memories.

However, after all, it has been a long time since time travel, and many things can't be remembered clearly, so Meng Xiuyuan simply asked Huang Jinyu:

"Young Master Huang, I have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and many things are not clear.

From what you said, it seems that I have some opinions on the current emperor of Song Dynasty.

Can you tell me what is going on? "

When Huang Jinyu heard the words, she was emotionally poked, and immediately answered like a cannonball.

"Ben Gong, you are really asking the right person with this question.

You are not in court, so you don't know many things.

This little emperor Zhao Xu is simply perverse, extremely fatuous and incompetent..."

Because his father was dismissed from office and exiled, this Young Master Huang resented the Emperor of Song very much, and now that he was in Dali, his words became even more presumptuous.

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan, a knight-errant with no knowledge of government affairs, ask about the Great Song Dynasty Hall, he only felt that the other party would believe what he said, so he couldn't help but criticize it bluntly:

"Actually speaking, when the little emperor's father, Emperor Shenzong, was on the throne, it was very troublesome. He insisted on making Wang Anshi and his group carry out reforms and fight Xixia.

Not only did they make a mess of the Song Dynasty, but they suffered a big defeat in the end.

My father was upright and always disapproved of them violating the laws of their ancestors, so they were classified as the "old party" and were not reused.

Fortunately, after Shenzong's death, the little emperor was only nine years old and unable to take charge of the government, so Empress Dowager Gao took charge of the court affairs.

Although this Empress Dowager Gao is a daughter, she is much wiser than the pair of father and son. She can be called Yao and Shun among women.

As soon as Empress Dowager Gao came to power, she worshiped Sima Guang as her prime minister, restored the patriarchal laws of her ancestors, practiced Renzong's government, and banned all the chaotic policies proposed by Wang Anshi's "New Party".

It was also at that time that my father started to return to the mainstream of the court and display his talents.

In this way, the world has been peaceful for eight years, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment..."

Speaking of this, this Mr. Huang is already beaming, obviously completely immersed in it.

However, his wife who was sitting next to him shook her head secretly, then secretly pulled Huang Jinyu's clothes, and said in a low voice:
"Engong asked you about the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, why are you talking so far.

Let's talk about something important...don't get too excited. "

This woman was obviously from a good background and quite knowledgeable. She was afraid that her husband's subjective evaluation would offend Meng Xiuyuan, so she reminded her cryptically.

I don't think so, this Mr. Huang may have been depressed for a long time, and at this moment he suddenly opened the conversation, and because he felt quite safe in front of Meng Xiuyuan, a "great hero", he didn't care at all, and immediately waved his wife away:
"What do you woman know? If I don't explain the background clearly, how can benefactor know the stupidity of the little emperor?
Alright, I'm talking to benefactor, don't interrupt..."

While speaking, he turned to Meng Xiuyuan again, and said with a sad face:

"Unfortunately, since a few months ago, all these good days are gone.

Empress Dowager Gao died of a serious illness, and the little emperor took charge of the government.

He was exactly the same as his father, Emperor Shenzong, thinking about unrealistic things like 'reform' and 'reform'.

And compared to Shenzong, this little emperor is more ambitious and impatient.

The Green Crop Law, the Exemption Law, the Baojia Law, and the New Deals of Wang Anshi's period, all of which he picked up again.

It is nonsense to talk about reducing taxes for the people and cleaning up redundant bureaucrats.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. This is the foundation of the country established at the beginning of the founding of the country. If the officials are not able to live well, can the common people live well?

But this little emperor is stubborn, and has some vigorous methods.

In just a few months, he changed his year name, demoted officials and released hundreds of people from the 'old party', causing chaos in the court.

My father devoted himself to the country and devoted himself to the country, but he was dismissed from office just because he did not support his new policy.

Please tell me, benefactor, can such a fatuous emperor who insists on going his own way and is hard to distinguish between loyal and traitorous, be able to govern the country well? ! "

This Mr. Huang spoke excitedly, with a look of heartbroken and worried for the country.

Meng Xiuyuan listened, but just smiled slightly, noncommittal, and asked him again:

"Young Master Huang, the war between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty was also the reason for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?"

Huang Jinyu nodded immediately, and said seriously to Meng Xiuyuan:
"What Engong said is true, the reason for the war disaster was indeed caused by the little emperor.

Originally, a few years ago, my Great Song Dynasty gave enough old coins and cut some land to Xixia and Liao, so they were satisfied and would not come again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the little emperor came to power, he would reorganize his armaments, replace the generals who had been in charge of peace, and instead appoint generals from the main battle faction to lead the army.

Under such circumstances, how could the Liao Kingdom turn a blind eye? !

If you want me to say, in this war disaster, countless soldiers and civilians lost their lives innocently, and all the crimes they committed are all to be blamed on the little emperor Zhao Xu..."

At this point, when Huang Jinyu was speaking vigorously, his youngest son, who was less than three years old, suddenly burst into tears beside him, interrupting his voice.

Seeing this, his wife rushed to coax him, but the little boy didn't feel better at all, but cried more and more.

After all, he is a father, although Mr. Huang was talking about his excitement, he had no choice but to apologize to Meng Xiuyuan, and went to take care of the child together.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel happy, and quietly took a second look at Huang Jinyu's wife.

Of course, this is not to say that Meng Xiuyuan has the ambition of Cao Cao and has a wrong heart, but he just finds it interesting and secretly thinks that this woman is not simple.

Because he saw just now that the reason why the child burst into tears was actually because the beautiful woman secretly pinched the child's buttocks.Her movements are stealthy and decisive, if it weren't for Meng Xiuyuan's skill, it would be hard to detect.

Obviously, it was the woman who had guessed Meng Xiuyuan's thoughts and knew that this benefactor would not agree with her husband's views on political affairs. She was afraid that Meng Xiuyuan would feel disgusted by it, so she deliberately interrupted Huang Jinyu's endless chatter in this way. complaints.

However, Meng Xiuyuan himself didn't pay too much attention to Huang Jinyu's words. After all, his father had just been dismissed from office, and it was normal for a good son of Bianliang to come to Dali with his family to make a living.

On the contrary, these descriptions of his did remind Meng Xiuyuan of many things, which can be regarded as a help.

So far, Meng Xiuyuan and the family of four really have nothing to talk about.After taking a few sips of food and wine, he got up and said goodbye.

Although Mr. Huang was worried, he didn't know whether Meng Xiuyuan would be able to find those belongings for him as promised, but it was not easy to stop him, so he could only lead his wife and children to thank Meng Xiuyuan again.

When Meng Xiuyuan walked out of the inn, he could hear the quarrel between Mr. Huang and his wife in the room on the second floor, as well as the sound of children crying.

Hearing the sound, he smiled slightly, shook his head, and turned to leave immediately.

……

Mr. Huang's lost property, Meng Xiuyuan helped him find it back.It would take less than half a day to do it easily, and Meng Xiuyuan was unwilling to keep his word.

The matter of his family being grateful, kneeling, thanking and prostrating was not mentioned, after Meng Xiuyuan bid farewell to Mr. Huang again, he immediately changed his mind, temporarily put aside his plan to go to the Everlasting Spring Valley, and turned east, heading straight for the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, due to the appearance of Meng Xiuyuan in this life, the world line has undergone many changes, and the fate of the three brothers Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Xu Zhu has undergone many changes from the originally established path.

Under such circumstances, the battle between Song and Liao is not so easy to end.

Although what Huang Jinyu said before was quite emotional, one thing is true, that is, if Song and Liao go to war at this time, the people and soldiers of the Song Dynasty will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

If Meng Xiuyuan was practicing in secluded cultivation in the Green Valley of Kunlun, it would be fine if he didn't know about it.Now that he has heard about it, he has no reason not to take care of it.

If not, I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle down afterwards.

However, before leaving the customs, Meng Xiuyuan wanted to drop by Bianliang, Tokyo, to meet the young but ambitious little emperor.

Meng Xiuyuan was a science student in his previous life, not a history buff, so he didn't know much about the Northern Song Dynasty.

But after being inspired by the words of Mr. Huang just now, he still remembered many key things.

For example, based on the death time of Empress Dowager Gao, in less than 40 years, the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty will end after experiencing the "shame of Jingkang".

The country fell, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the people were humiliated and slaughtered under the enemy's iron hoof.

Although by that time, Meng Xiuyuan would naturally no longer be in this world, and even many people he knew well had passed away.But as a Han son, he still wants to do something about it.

With Meng Xiuyuan's skill at this time, it would not be a problem to go to the Jurchen tribe and assassinate Wanyan Aguda.

It can be said that the situation of the Song State, if the national conditions do not change, even if the Jin State is missing, it will inevitably fall to the hands of other northern foreign enemies.

Only by making the country strong and able to protect itself can it be stable for a long time.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't have the talent to govern the country, and he couldn't stay in this world for long, so he couldn't personally do this thing of strengthening the country and protecting the people.

Fortunately, this Mr. Huang reminded Meng Xiuyuan.

This little emperor Zhao Xu is a very crucial breakthrough.Meng Xiuyuan remembered that this should be the last emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty who had the ability to change the destiny of the country.

Zhao Xu, who ascended the throne at the age of ten in history and died of illness at the age of 25, with the temple name Zhezong, was an out-and-out young emperor.

In his life, he was in charge of the government for only seven years, but he made a lot of achievements.

Restart the battle of Hehuang, take over the Qingtang area, launch two battles in Pingxia City, and make Xixia surrender.

This Song Zhezong's abundant martial arts virtues can be regarded as rare in the entire history of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Moreover, he obviously saw the shortcomings in the Song Dynasty, so he insisted on reforms like his father.

Although he was dragged down by the party disputes among the civil officials of the Song Dynasty, after he restored the Baojia Law, the Exemption Law, and the Young Crop Law in Wang Anshi's reform, it can be regarded as reducing the burden on farmers and improving the country's situation.

Generally speaking, this is an emperor with both ambition and ability, and a very strong personality, which is completely different from the two Huiqin emperors behind him.

There is one shortcoming, that is, he has always been weak and sick. He suffered from chronic diseases such as hemoptysis when he was young.

At this time, Meng Xiuyuan wanted to help the people of Song Dynasty, so he wanted to help him.

……

Half a month later, Bianliang Palace, the back pavilion of Chongqing Palace.

When the little emperor Zhao Xu was revising the memorial, he suddenly felt a gust of breeze blowing from outside the hall, and then felt a little sleepy, unconsciously fell on the dragon table, and fell asleep.

In his dream, the little emperor saw an outdoor peach garden with green grass, singing birds and fragrant flowers, which was indescribably pleasant.

The strange thing is that in his dream, he could still feel gusts of cool wind blowing over his body, slowly pouring in through the pores of his mouth and nose.

Feeling such a vision, he was a little panicked at first, but after a little longer, he realized the benefits.

Every time the breeze blows, he only feels that his body has been washed from top to bottom, and he feels unspeakably comfortable.

The originally sickly body now glowed with vitality that he had never had before. He was 18 years old and spent most of his life in weakness and pain. He had never felt like this before, and he couldn't help being addicted to it.

I don't know how long it took, the last gust of breeze blew by, and the scenery of singing birds and fragrant flowers gradually dissipated. Zhao Xu suddenly felt a pain in his back, and immediately woke up with a start, and suddenly got up from the dragon table.

And the first time he opened his eyes, he saw that there were three handwritten books on his desk, each with the title on the cover.

One is "Wu Mu's Suicide Note", one is "Liaoyuan Spear Technique", and the other is "Health Preservation Formula", all of which he has never seen before.

"What's going on? Who is it?!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu was shocked, subconsciously stood up and bounced up, but he didn't want to kick his legs, and he jumped three feet high.

Although this kind of movement is not considered vigorous among knights in the rivers and lakes, it is an incomprehensible miracle for Zhao Xu, who was sick and weak since childhood.

Dazedly squeezed his legs, and felt a surge of air in his body, which brought unprecedented relief, Zhao Xu couldn't help but think of the gusts of breeze that blew in his dream just now.

How could such a quick-witted person like him not guess what happened, so he hurriedly put away the three handwritten booklets and placed them under the thick memorial.

At this time, the eunuch in the corner of the hall woke up from his dream, thinking that he had made a big mistake in neglecting his duty, so he hurriedly confessed to Zhao Xu:
"His Majesty……"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Xu:

"Go outside and ask the guards if they have seen anyone enter this Chongqing Hall?

Don't say anything, just ask privately..."

Hearing the sound, the eunuch panicked, not knowing what the emperor's intentions were, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders and left in a hurry.

After a while, the eunuch came back to report again, he only said that the guards around the main hall had asked about it, but no one saw anyone coming to this Chongqing hall, not even a bird flew by.

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard the words, and didn't say anything more, but squeezed the three books hidden in the sleeve robe a little tighter.

　I have considered this part of the content for a long time, and I feel that I should explain it.

　　It has been as brief as possible.

　　If there are brothers who don't like it, please be merciful.
