Is this really the case?

Not to mention that the Western Prefecture is far behind, but on the front line, how many generals in the army can fight and make plans? Are the generals like Cui Yanjin and Mi Xin really bad?

But who came up with it?

Or it was Song Jiu, and Song Jiu really thought it out. If he had no golden fingers, could he think it out?

Not to mention absurdity, there have been too many of these ridiculous things since ancient times.

Song Jiu, the four prime ministers of the Western Prefecture, made great contributions when he arrived at the front line, but this incident was also wrong. Let’s just compare the merits and demerits. Anyway, the emperor asked the two princes, and one of them, to be regarded as the quasi-crown prince, to greet him, which was a passing.

Wang Xian is the irresponsible person.

Wang Mian is a literati and co-chaired the imperial examination with Jia Huangzhong. So who should he target?

Little mouth open Qixian!

He said the most, and he was closer to Song Jiu.

Zhang Qixian asked everyone to force me, "We can't afford to offend you, but we can afford to hide." So I learned from Song Jiu and asked Zhao Kuangyi to let me guard Daizhou."

I'm on the front line, what else do you say?

In fact, Zhao Kuangyi still likes Zhang Qixian quite a bit, but the scholars and officials rushed up, so Zhao Kuangyi had to agree to Zhang Qixian's self-exile.

But the problem came soon.

Wang Xian was not capable enough, and Wang Mian was a little better, but he was an authentic civil servant and an amateur in military affairs. Song Jiu served as Privy Council envoy for several years, and the government affairs of the Privy Council were deeply deepened, which was completely different from the Privy Council in history. Zhang Qixian was still able to barely maintain it. However, after Zhang Qixian continued, the Privy Council continued to be a deepening and strengthening version of the Privy Council, and soon all kinds of government affairs piled up. Zhao Kuangyi had to transfer Zhang Hong into the Western Prefecture to be the Deputy Privy Council.

The front line fought bloody battles, but in the blink of an eye, it became a political transaction after arriving at the rear.

...

"Shaochun, go to the river to see if there is a boat."

"Duke Song, are you going to take a boat?"

"kindness."

"The two princes are in Huazhou..."

"Shaochun, you have been following me for a long time. You should understand that too much is not enough. Look. Why did Zhang Qixian go to Daizhou? The prince left the capital for hundreds of miles and welcomed a minister. This honor is honor. However, when it reaches its peak, what will happen? When the moon is full, it will lose, and when the water is full, it will be full. It is from ancient and modern times."

"Mr. Song wants to avoid them, so will the emperor be angry?"

"Are you humble? If anyone likes it, the emperor will be no exception. Go."

"Here."

After a while, Qi Shaochun found a passenger ship.

Song Jiu said, "Let's leave now."

"Go away at this time?" Guo Da asked in surprise.

It is the second update outside, it is time to sleep, not to walk.

"If we don't leave at this time, will the officials come to welcome and see you off before leaving? If that happens, can we still go to the capital quietly?"

"yes."

A group of more than a dozen people hurriedly left the inn and boarded the passenger ship.

"Guo Da, bangs, lift me to the bow of the boat."

"The autumn wind is cool, Duke Song, don't suffer from the cold wind."

"lift."

"good……"

Mr. Song was lying on his shoulder. Qigouguan was seriously injured, mainly due to spiritual trauma. When he arrived in Xiongzhou, he became seriously ill. After two or three months, although his condition improved, his spirit was still depressed and he became thin.

At this moment, I was huddled in my shoulder carriage, although I was big, but I was like an old tree in the autumn wind, trembling.

Guo Dashou asked the boatman for a blanket and covered Song Jiu's belly.

"I feel timid in my hometown, Guo Da, I don't know how to face your younger brothers and sisters, your wife and children when I go back."

"Mr. Song, don't blame you."

"I'm incompetent."

Guo Da obviously disagreed. But the fact is that Song Jiu is in this mood. Others don’t know, but he knows it himself, and he can’t stop the tragedy from happening, and even so many people died.

The tragic tragedy of the seriously injured soldiers when retreating to Jumahe, the pain of separation of relatives when talking to Yuping, and the bloody battle after nearly ten days, one soldier after another fell in a pool of blood, and could not collect the body, and turned into the "Jingguan" fertilizer on the border of Youzhou.

In fact, a natural disaster will cause many people to die in this era, but seeing it with your own eyes is another matter.

This is the reason for Song Jiu's serious illness, not just serious injuries.

"Mr. Song, you do better than anyone else."

"Where is the best place... Guo Da, you don't understand..." Song Jiu said as if he was chanting in a dream, as if he was awake and sleepy.

"Mr. Song, don't blame yourself. Even the young ones are willing to die on the battlefield." The boatman walked over and said. Song Jiu got on the boat. There were more than twenty people in a row, with a carriage and a dozen horses. The boatman hired a lot of knowledge. He knew that the people from this journey had a very extraordinary origin. After listening for a while, he came over and said loudly.

"Boatman, Mr. Song will get on your ship, it must be kept confidential."

"Here."

The ship owner replied, but he was extremely excited and ordered several sailors to say, "Be gentle, be gentle, don't disturb Mr. Song."

Several sailors heard that it was Song Jiu, and they looked at him with great admiration, but whispered:

"So it's Duke Song."

"No wonder I think he looks extraordinary."

"Yes, he was talking to me peacefully just now. He is really the best minister of the Song Dynasty."

"At that time, I heard that His Majesty sent two princes to Huazhou to greet him in person."

"Why do you need to hire a ship to the capital?"

"I don't know either."

"I heard that Mr. Song was very brave in Qigou Pass, and the situation was critical at that time..."

Song Jiuwei closed his eyes, but when he heard the conversation outside, he raised a bitter smile on his lips. Zhao Kuangyi thanked him for the time being, and he couldn't hide it, so the Qigou Pass battle was widely circulated among the people. But if he didn't know the right way, he might be like Xiao Kou in the future. No matter how much he compares, will Xiao Kou have made great contributions that time?

...

"Is Song Qing back?" Zhao Kuangyi asked Liu Zhixin.

Many of these generals were injured, including Yang Ye, and many were forcibly left in the capital to recuperate.

Liu Zhixin and Song Jiu had a good relationship, so he asked Liu Zhixin.

"I'm back. I visited me last night. He said that he had committed more than merit and should not be welcomed by the two princes, so he hired a boat to go home quietly."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, but when the eldest grandson of Song returned to Xiongzhou, he blamed himself very much and was seriously ill. After returning to the capital, he sent his family to find the family of Hu Anguo, a martyr in Qigou Pass. He was also the young lady of the Zhu family and his brother who were preparing to propose marriage to invite him to the Yushun restaurant. However, the two families were so sad that they could not eat. Song returned home unhappily, and his condition worsened. Therefore, I took his leave without saying a few words."

"Shundian banquet?"

"That's right," Liu Zhixin explained the story again.

At that time, nearly a thousand seriously injured soldiers knew that they would die. Song Jiu asked them to make a request. Some people made a request very normal. But some people made a request very strange. For example, if the Zhu family did not agree to their daughter marry him, they just agreed. The whole country was sad and ran to Shundian for a big meal. There was also a wounded soldier named Ding who made a request, which was proved by Song Jiu. The court issued pensions in the future and handed them over to his beautiful little lady, but

She ordered her to remarry. It would be impossible not to remarry her. His little wife was beautiful, but she was thin and had two children. After eating the pension, she would live. However, there was another requirement, that is, when his son grew up, one of them had to be the original surname and pass on the Ding family's family (the rule of the Song Dynasty, once the mother remarries, the children often have their husband's surname, such as Fan Zhongyan's mother remarries the Zhu family as a concubine, and Fan Zhongyan once changed his surname to Zhu).

If the court handles these requirements, they may lose their etiquette.

Therefore, Song Jiu went to Xiongzhou and handed over the list of soldiers who had lost their merits and sacrifices to the court. These requests were not handed over to the court, and planned to deal with these headaches himself after he returned to the capital.

After saying that, Liu Zhixin seemed to have returned to that bloody dusk, with tears in his eyes.

People's hearts are full of flesh, and almost 80% of the people in the palace are masters of intrigue. However, at this time, most people's eyes have a layer of wetness.

"Go up and go to Song Qing's house, I'll visit him."

Zhao Kuangyi brought civil and military officials to the Song family.

Song Jiu struggled to get up from the bed and said, "I am sick and cannot meet Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

"You can rest assured to recuperate." Zhao Kuangyi personally helped Song Jiu to the bed.

"I heard that the Qigou Pass was defeated, and I couldn't sleep or eat at night. Now the three armies are robbed, and I don't know what to do."

Zhao Pu, Zhao Changyan, Li Fang, Jia Huangzhong and others wrote a letter, some said that they should not send troops, and some said that your Majesty, your strategy is right, but the generals on the front line did something wrong. This is to cover up the ugliness for Zhao Kuangyi. But Zhao Kuangyi would not take it seriously.

If the Song Dynasty was defeated, the Liao Kingdom would inevitably counterattack.

In fact, Song Jiu started to hear all kinds of things on the road and was very disappointed. Both Taizong, Zhao Kuangyi was much worse than Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Of course, Li Shimin may not be that perfect. He may have all kinds of disappointments when he was in the Tang Dynasty.

But at least Li Shimin killed his elder brother and brother, and dared to let the historian record it fairly. After Goryeo failed, he dared to issue an edict to punish himself and take all the blame on himself.

No matter how good Zhao Kuangyi does in internal governance, he will not be able to catch up with his openness or grandeur.

Song Jiu hated Zhao Pu even more, and in order to get back to power, he would block Zhao Kuangyi's ugliness, but in this way, he would gradually train Zhao Kuangyi into a real Yue Buqun, and might even gradually create a cowardly country that is strong internally and weak externally.
