Chapter 499: Absurd (Part 2)(2/2)
But in the end, he gradually thought about it. Looking at the entire Chinese history, there were a few Li Shimins. Compared with other emperors, Zhao Kuangyi was at least considered a middle-class person. As for being a slave in the Qing Dynasty, better than being a dark Ming Dynasty, better than being a family member in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, better than being a war in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, better than being the lowest-class person in the Yuan Dynasty.
Song Jiu replied slowly: "Your Majesty, although the defeat at Qigou Pass greatly damaged our dynasty, the vitality of the Liao Kingdom was also severely damaged. The soldiers on the front line had strong fighting spirit, and the Liao Kingdom would invade in the future. But I believe that there will be a victory or defeat between each other, so you don't have to worry too much. But Your Majesty, I want to ask Your Majesty to punish me severely."
"Song Qing..."
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Han and Tang dynasties are of course of great power. However, the main thing is that the rewards and punishments are clear. Even if they are famous generals Li Guang, they will be executed due to mistakes. Therefore, the generals who come to the front line dare not take it lightly, and there will be no discussions between the generals of Xiongzhou, like shrews in the market, are quarreling in the big tent. In Gu'an, I noticed that there was something wrong with the food and grass, because I have always regarded Cao Gong as an elder and could not use the chief supervisor steadily
The power was forced to inquire. The soldiers retreated to Xiongzhou and did not argue with reason. When they arrived at Qigouguan, the ministers felt even more wrong. However, they were foolish and did not think about it, and even the three armies were defeated. Although I personally commanded it, this merit was not my minister, but the retreat path paved by the frontline soldiers and tens of thousands of village soldiers. Therefore, I not only failed, but had a mistake, so I begged Your Majesty to remove me from my official position, otherwise the tragedy of Qigouguan would still happen in the future."
Everyone first had no idea, and then they were dazed together. Is this really the case?
But it seemed that Song Jiu's expression was very sad. Could it be that the front-line battle report was wrong and there was indeed a hidden truth in the middle? Song Jiu did make some serious mistakes?
Some people have bad intentions and even plan to use the resources in their hands to check the details of the time again.
Song Jiu continued, "But on the way back, I walked slowly and heard some news, which made me even more disturbed. Especially Mr. Li, you said that Emperor Gaozu of Han was trapped in Pingcheng with 300,000 people, so he used the words of spring to establish a marriage plan. Wen Jing showed that he was in custody, so the border city banquet was closed, and the common people were resting, and the benefits were not much. Han Wu was defeated and his military was demoted, and I didn't want to over-evaluate him. But I really did this? Looking through history, Wen Jing was disrespectful to the Xiongnu. But the Xiongnu invaded many times, it was really a border city banquet.
Shut up? He almost joined forces with the Han Dynasty's foreign kings to overthrow the entire Han Dynasty. It was in this humiliating diplomatic environment that Emperor Wu of Han promoted his troops to the desert. Even if he did not recover Yan Yun, he wanted peace, but he did not ask for peace. Li Yu asked the late emperor. The late emperor could not unify the Central Plains because of his request? The Han and Jin Dynasty were not too weak to restrain the Hu people. However, during the civil strife in the Jin Dynasty, did the Hu people take advantage of the situation? Our dynasty values internal governance and prosperity. Our dynasty just planned to seek peace on its own initiative, but can you guarantee that the Liao Kingdom will not greedily invade the Central Plains in the future?"
However, too many people died in this battle, and Song Jiu was also a little tired of war deep in his heart, so he didn't want to say more, so he only said a metaphor: "I suddenly thought of a fable, and there was a bread walking on the road."
When the bread came out, it was called fruit, but in the end it was ordered to distinguish it from the cake, but this industry had nothing to do with the Song family.
When Song Jiu was young, he told many stories, some fairy tales, which gradually spread. Even the wives of these ministers used them to tell their descendants. Therefore, Song Jiu said that bread could walk, and everyone could still accept it.
Song Jiu continued: "It suddenly felt very hungry, so it ate itself."
