Chapter 1036: Strategic Retreat
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
I have to say, this is definitely a big truth.
He really doesn't miss the throne, what he likes is art, wine and beauty. After the death of Song Zhezong, he didn't expect that he could become the emperor at all, and he didn't make any efforts for it.
In fact, he doesn't think that being an emperor is much better than being a prince, at least go to the Qinglou, he won't be impeached, at least Keju won't be impeached, at least he will drink and have fun with his sisters, and he won't be impeached.
It is precisely because of this that of course he will not risk his life because of a position that he does not cherish.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if he is the emperor or not, this sentence also comes from the bottom of his heart.
The ministers were silent.
Song Huizong said again: "I have already decided, tomorrow morning, I will pass the throne to the crown prince." ”
This sentence is breezy and light, with a hint of relief.
Everyone was about to symbolically say "Please think twice", hypocritically expressing their nostalgia for the emperor who was about to abdicate.
One person suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this move must not be." ”
Everyone looked startled, and turned their eyes to see that it was Li Qi who spoke.
At this time, you still have to hold on to me. Song Huizong frowned and said, "I have made up my mind, Li Qi, you quickly retreat." ”
Li Qiwu refused to retreat, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Weichen has always felt that the emperor is very aware of his previous decisions, but why did he make such a confused decision at this critical moment." ”
"Bold Li Qi, dare to offend the emperor." Cai Qian immediately stood up and shouted, now that the general trend has been decided, he naturally doesn't want to make extraneous branches.
Li Qi looked directly at Song Huizong and said toughly: "If the emperor wants to cure the crime of Weichen." Weichen also had nothing to say, Weichen thought that if the emperor passed the throne to the prince, it would be better to move the capital. ”
Song Huizong listened to what he said, and was very curious in his heart, and said, "You said that my previous decisions were very wise, what do you mean by this?" ”
Li Qi said: "Jiang Yushi once said that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the capital has been Kaifeng, and if the capital is moved, I am afraid that it will lose the hearts of the people." This is very reasonable, but have you ever thought that this relocation will lose the support of the people, so what about another day? The two armies are at war and change commanders on the spot, which is a taboo for soldiers, not to mention the abdication of the emperor? Weichen's words are not to veto the ability of His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness has just ascended the throne, and he has to start all over again. However, facing the pressure of the enemy's army, this internal and external troubles, Kaifeng is in danger! ”
Song Huizong listened to what he meant. It seems that he is preparing to forcibly keep himself, and he is angry in his heart, my emperor is not right, and you still don't let me run. You are trying to force me to death, and you are about to ask someone to blast Li Qi out of the palace, but Li Qi changed his words. He added: "However, Weichen thinks that no matter what the reason, the emperor should never stay in the capital, and should leave the city immediately." ”
This is simply the essence!
This is all in the mouth, Song Huizong swallowed it hard, turned his anger into joy, nodded again and again, and complained a little bit in his heart Li Qi, when will you be able to finish your words in one breath! Hurriedly asked, "What did Aiqing say this?" ”
Li Qi said in a calm tone: "Many people say that anyone can go, but the emperor can't go, and Weichen can't do anything like this." ”
Jiang Daoyan stood up and said extremely unhappily: "Economic envoy, what you say seems to be referring to!" ”
"I think I've made it clear." Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "Dare to ask Jiang Yushi, if the emperor stays, how sure are you that you will be able to hold Tokyo?" ”
Jiang Daoyan said: "The battle situation is ever-changing, how do I know, but if the emperor leaves, then the people's hearts will be lost, and the people will think that the emperor has abandoned them, who will still work for my Great Song Dynasty, whether they win or lose, this is extremely unfavorable to my Great Song Dynasty." ”
Wu Min also stood up and said: "Yes, Jiang Yushi is reasonable, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the king should be in the capital, and if the king is not there, the morale will definitely plummet, and it will be unfavorable to the war." ”
Cai You wanted Song Huizong to abdicate immediately at this time, but this was only based on the premise that the Jin army called, if the world was peaceful, of course he didn't want Song Huizong to abdicate, he listened to Li Qi's words, as if he could find a third way, so he chose to be silent.
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "This problem, I will have a way to solve it later, I just want to ask you now, if, I mean if, if the emperor stays, and Kaifeng City is broken by the Jin army, then, my Great Song Dynasty will not die like this." You don't want to think about why the Jin army will fight to the edge of the Yellow River so quickly, now the north is not completely in the hands of the Jin people at all, they almost bypassed a qiē defense, all the way over, this is already Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know it! They are playing with us the truth that the thief captures the king first, and they know that once the Kaifeng Mansion is breached, then my Great Song Dynasty will die, so they will not hesitate to risk going deep into the hinterland, and they will also forcibly take Kaifeng. This is not only a strategic game, but also a global game, and we cannot afford to lose. ”
The ministers felt that what Li Qi said was very reasonable, and they nodded their heads one after another.
Jiang Daoyan also felt that Li Qi's words were reasonable, and he had to guard against it, at this time, he was by no means intentional to make things difficult, so he asked: "What should I do according to the economic minister's words?" ”
Li Qi didn't answer and asked: "Jiang Yushi, what do you think is the duty of a courtier?" ”
Jiang Daoyan said: "Naturally, I am loyal to the emperor and serve the court." ”
"What a loyal emperor." Li Qi raised his hand and said: "The emperor is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, even if he thinks, we are courtiers, and we should never let the emperor be in the middle of the war, if this happens, it is not our courtiers, even if we are all beheaded, it is not an exaggeration." ”
Bosom friend! This is the real confidant!
Song Huizong was moved, and he couldn't wait to hug Li Qi and kiss him fiercely.
Li Qi said again: "It is reasonable, we should all do our best to escort the emperor to a safe place, there is a way, leave the green mountains here, and I am not afraid of no firewood." If you don't do this, if there is a mistake, then the entire palace will fall into the hands of the Jin army, and the dragon will not go away without a head, and then there will be no day when my Great Song Dynasty will turn over, do you hope that this situation will occur? ”
Song Huizong nodded and said: "Yes, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood, Li Qi and I really coincide with each other." ”
Jiang Daoyan said: "The meaning of the economic envoy is not to give up Tokyo. ”
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Of course not, Tokyo is my Great Song Kyoto, how can I give up, unless the last drop of blood in my body is drained, otherwise, I will never let the capital fall." ”
The more Wu Min listened, the more confused he became, and said, "But the emperor's departure from Beijing will have a great negative impact on my Kaifeng morale." ”
Li Qi smiled: "I didn't say that the emperor would leave with great fanfare. ”
Everyone was stunned. Song Huizong also looked at Li Qi in surprise.
Wu Min seemed to have guessed what Li Qi was going to say, and said, "Didn't the economic envoy mean to let the emperor leave Beijing quietly?" ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "Exactly." The emperor can announce to the outside world that the dragon is sick, order a person to supervise the government on his behalf, and then secretly leave Beijing at night, as long as I don't wait for the news to leak, it is impossible for the Kaifeng military and civilians to know, and once the emperor goes to Jiangnan, he can also transfer troops outside according to the changes in the war, so that Kaifeng will not fall into an isolated and helpless situation. ”
"Good!"
Song Huizong was very happy when he heard this, slapped the table, got up and said, "What Aiqing said is really good. ”
In this way, he does not have to abdicate, but also can flee to Jiangnan, and the most important thing is that after Li Qi said this, he is not called fleeing, but a strategic need, a strategic retreat, this is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Song Huizong glanced at the rest of the people again and said, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”
These predators gathered in twos and threes, whispering, exchanging their opinions with each other in response to Li Qi's statement, in fact, Li Qi's reason is very simple, that is, you can't put all your eggs in a broken basket, in case the basket is broken, then this basket of eggs will be all over.
After discussing for a while, these ministers all felt that what Li Qi said was very reasonable, and said in unison: "Back to the emperor, the ministers agree to the economic policy." ”
Song Huizong's whole heart fell, he could finally go, it was funny to say, he originally planned to escape openly, but now it was a quiet strategic retreat, compared with the two, naturally the latter is more worried.
But the question comes again, who do you let defend Kaifeng Mansion instead of you.
Everyone pretended to look at Zhao Huan again.
At this time, Zhao Huan really hated these gazes, because these gazes made him feel that his only role was to replace the dead ghost.
However, Li Qi stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, now that the world is in chaos, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow, however, this matter is related to the fate of my Great Song Dynasty, and it has to be handled carefully, so Wei Chen thinks that when there is double insurance, it can be just in case." ”
"Double insurance?"
Song Huizong was stunned.
Li Qi nodded and said: "The meaning of double insurance is very simple, that is, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the emperor go to Jiangnan together, but they will go in two ways." To put it mildly, even if there is an accident along the way, there is still a way to ensure that my Great Song will not fall. ”
Although he said it very tactfully, the meaning is already obvious, that is, if you encounter any accidents, then the crown prince can also ascend the throne and continue to pass on the Zhao bloodline.
Song Huizong also felt justified when he heard it, but he was very embarrassed, and said: "But the prince is also gone, so who is still qualified to take on the responsibility of defending Kaifeng Mansion?" ”
Li Qi said: "Back to the emperor, in fact, this person is not difficult to find, only need to have a name, the emperor can choose a prince from several princes under his knees to replace the emperor to deal with state affairs, but this is only on the table, the emperor can also arrange a person to assist this prince to defend Kaifeng Mansion together." ”
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, and after a while, he said: "Weichen is not talented, if the emperor looks up to Weichen, Weichen is willing to take this position." (To be continued)
