Chapter Seventy-Two: The Time Has Come
"Then Miss Qiao is not too young, she took this opportunity to get out of the big quagmire of the White Lotus Society, even if you don't go, she will definitely have to find a family to marry, right?"
“……”
"Anyway, she is married, so she might as well marry you, don't you say? You are also interesting to her, and she is not disgusted with you, there were a lot of eyebrows between the two of you in the army. ”
“……”
"Of course, it's up to you. I just highly recommend that you get along with Miss Qiao, you have to try it to find out. ”
“……”
"Well, I'll give you a heads-up. Sometimes if you miss it, you miss it, and even if there is a next village, there will definitely be no last store.
I also hope that when we get old, we will be able to watch our grandchildren crawl on the ground together. ”
“……”
No matter how skillfully Tang Ning persuaded him, Lin Wei just didn't say a word, didn't squeak, and was silent like a stone.
Tang Ning's mouth was dry, and in the end, Lin Wei didn't give any reaction, Tang Ning had to close his mouth and stop talking. However, he sincerely hopes that Lin Wei can find a woman to marry home, no matter what the identity of the other party is, it is a different feeling to have a companion and no companion when he is older.
Later, Tang Ning mentioned it several times, but Lin Wei finally responded with silence.
In July, dog days, in the hot weather, Li Dezheng's mood seemed to be in an ice cellar, pulling out the cold.
Just the day before yesterday, the Kingdom of Srivijaya and the Kingdom of Bagan sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to worship Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
Cochin has been wiped out under the bite of these two tigers. Li Changjie defeated Zhenla, and after half a year of fighting with the army of Bagan, he was finally defeated by the number of people.
In the midst of the chaos, Li Changjie screamed sadly, and then drew his sword and killed himself. After that, Pham Il Sung was killed in battle, Chen Gu was captured, and the whereabouts of Li Jingkun, the king of Annam, are unknown.
Thang Long City was breached again, and after the Bagan Kingdom and the Sriwijaya Kingdom joined forces to destroy Chenla, they divided the land of Cochin and Chenla.
The corner of the city where the city is located trembled, but fortunately, he is a broken place, and Sriwijaya and Bagan have not taken a fancy to it.
When Li Deqian learned the news, he couldn't believe it, how could he be so big, saying that he would be destroyed if he was destroyed?
It's only been a long time, only half a year and a month.
The palace envoy comforted him and said that you don't have to be unbalanced, the country of Bagan sent 200,000 troops, and the three Buddhas brought 160,000 people, and the soldiers of the entire country of Annan may not add up to many people, isn't it normal to be defeated?
Li Deqian immediately grabbed the neck of the envoy from the palace, and said with scarlet eyes: "If it weren't for you to provoke and greatly hurt the vitality of my Annan country, why would my Annan country be like this?!"
It's all your Song people's fault! ”
The palace came to make the pinched roll his eyes,
But there was still a mocking smile on his lips.
When Li Deqian saw his smile, he instantly woke up that he was just incompetent and angry.
After getting up, the palace envoy looked at Li Deqian with pity and said, "It is precisely because of us Song people that you have the fate to lose your temper here." Look at those people in your Annan Kingdom, who died and were caught, how many of them had a good end?
What's more, it was you who started a border provocation at the beginning, invaded our Great Song Kingdom, and killed 100,000 soldiers and civilians of our Great Song Kingdom in Yongzhou. We haven't asked you to pay this account yet! ”
Li Deqian hugged his head and cried, he can now understand Li Yu's mood. Living here, although there is no need for food and clothing, isn't it like a livestock raised in a pen? Living like this is worse than dying.
Later, Zhao Xu didn't know what the purpose was, and when he summoned the envoys of the Three Buddhas and Bagan, he also called Li Deqian.
The purpose of the two envoys coming here was simple, that is, to show that they had no ill will towards the Great Song. It is also hoped that the Great Song Dynasty will recognize the legitimacy of their possession of the former Annan and Chenla lands.
It sounds like Da Song is in charge, but in fact, it's just a nice thing to say. Whether Zhao Xucheng admits it or not, they will continue to occupy that land, which is just a better way to say the word 'notice'.
Surprisingly, Li Deqian didn't react violently, and Zhao Xu looked at Li Deqian thoughtfully. After the two envoys left, Zhao Xu said to Li Deqian: "Don't you have anything to say?" ”
Li Deqian shook his head and said, "No." ”
Zhao Xu wondered: "Why is this?" ”
Li Deqian tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I just said it, what's the use?" Isn't it the same as pressing me on a cutting board to cut my flesh when you discuss how to divide the territory of Annan in front of me?
I can't resist, I can't stop it, what do I say, what's the use? It will only make you feel more accomplished when you cut my flesh. ”
When Zhao Xu heard this, his face turned red. Li Deqian is right, he is thinking this way. He called Li Deqian over just to appreciate Li Deqian's angry and depraved appearance.
Since he fell seriously ill, his whole person has changed a lot. No matter what he does, he is only one of them, and he actually has one more problem, that is, he likes to look back at his great achievements.
The battle of Jiaozhi is undoubtedly the most dazzling, so every time he sees Li Deqian, Zhao Xu is very proud, very proud, and feels that he is too powerful.
Not only Zhao Xu, but most emperors have this problem. When he senses that his limit is approaching, even the wisest monarch can make some mistakes. Throughout the ages, this has been the case, and Zhao Xu has not been able to escape this strange circle.
But Li Deqian's words woke him up, and when he saw Zhao Xu standing up and respectfully saluting himself and saying that he had been taught, Li Deqian regretted it in his heart.
He wished that Zhao Xu would be so arrogant, but who knew that he had just said something angry
He woke up to what he said.
There's nothing more depressing than that, no.
After returning to the Tongwen Pavilion, Li Deqian nested in the quilt and cried, Annan was dead, and the country passed down by his ancestors was gone. After he died, what kind of face did he have to face the ancestors and fathers below......
In the days that followed, Li Deqian became increasingly depressed, and there seemed to be something wrong with his mental state. In the middle of the year, he ran to the street to dance despite the obstruction of the people around him, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty in the inner city watched a lot of excitement.
Since then, Li Deqian will be the lord when he sees Zhao Xu again, where is there still a little bit of pride that he once had as an emperor?
After Tang Ning learned about this, he was very emotional, how similar all this that happened in front of him was to the difficulties of Jingkang in later generations.
It's just a different person, a different place. Moreover, the Song people are obviously not as vulgar and barbaric as the Jurchens, and after Li Deqian's family was arrested together, no one did anything to them.
Li Deqian's daughters are growing up healthily, and his two sons have also entered the Guozijian under Zhao Xu's permission, which is already very preferential.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning thought that in another twenty years it would be time for the Jurchens to dominate the world, so he sighed deeply.
Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu, you must hold on. That younger brother of yours can do anything, but he can't be the emperor.
Seeing that the belly of the plum is getting bigger day by day, the time has come to October again.
The people who have just passed the autumn harvest have finally recovered a little, and this year God is still taking good care of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no major disaster, the biggest disaster is the flooding of the Yellow River, which has caused thousands of victims.
It was more than enough for the government to deal with the thousands of disaster victims, and the development of Guangyuan Prefecture still needed manpower, so they simply sent food and took them to Guangyuan Prefecture to carry out construction.
Zhao Xu summoned Tang Ning again, this time he was not asking Tang Ning's opinion, but asking Tang Ning to act.
"Food, there is. General, there is. Soldiers, there is.
Now should be the time. Zhao Xu said bluntly.
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Since the official family thinks so, it is better to ask the opinions of other ministers." Anyway, Weichen agrees with the official family, and it is not impossible to fight now.
However, the opinions of other ministers also need to be respected, otherwise Weichen will fight in the front, and he is afraid that the rear will be unstable. ”
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, I will talk to those who have the ability to drag their feet one by one." ”
"Since that's the case, then Weichen will go and prepare."
"Tang Qing, thank you for your hard work."
"Eat the king's luck, share the king's worries, not to mention that the official family and Weichen still have an agreement in advance, this is what Weichen should do, not hard."
"It would be great if all the officials in the world could think like you! Alas! ”
