I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 19

"Fan'er, you have changed!"

Xiaozong didn't know what Gu Cheng found. He looked at the grandson he hadn't seen for three years, and his face was also very surprised.

He didn't like Zhao Kuan's cowardice and incompetence. He thought that the throne could not be entrusted to such people. Therefore, when the Chamberlain informed King Jia that he was going to invite peace, he almost thought he was deaf and heard wrong.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Guangzhen came, and as soon as he entered the hall, he was walking like a dragon and tiger. His heroic spirit was pressing. When he came to the front of his eyes, he had an extraordinary bearing of profound Yuezhi.

"Isn't it gold and jade?"

However, once the bad feeling is formed, it is not so easy to change, so Xiaozong soon began to take the school examination.

Gu Cheng answered the questions like a stream, and talked freely about the current situation of the temple and the handling of political affairs.

When he was in the Three Kingdoms of Xianwu, he was trained as a prince and taught by the great Confucianism. When he came to the great Song Dynasty, Huang Chang taught without reservation for half a year. Coupled with the foresight from later generations, it would be strange if he could not express some insights.

The more Xiaozong listened, the more surprised he was. Finally, he simply got up, came to Gu Cheng, stared at him and said, "what do you think of the northern expedition, attacking gold and restoring our rivers and mountains?"

Perhaps the only blemish in Xiaozong's life was that he did not listen to the advice of the minister and insisted on the northern expedition. In the end, although he was not defeated, he was forced to make peace and signed a humiliating treaty.

Therefore, Xiaozong of the main war faction asked this question, which is the final test.

Gu Cheng was silent. After a moment, he asked, "how does the emperor's grandfather think the combat power of our army in the Song Dynasty is better than that in the Tang Dynasty?"

Xiaozong raised his eyebrows and replied without hesitation: "nature is strong!"

Don't think that's funny.

It's true that Tang was strong and song was weak, but looking at the strength of the army alone, song is really stronger than Tang. After all, it has developed for hundreds of years and improved many systems, but why is it so miserable throughout the great Song Dynasty and the northern and Southern Dynasties?

On the one hand, they lack powerful generals and make repeated mistakes in strategic decision-making. When it comes to the key war of historical turning point, they will be defeated miserably.

Tang had a temporary defeat, but he could win in the end, preemptive and solve the potential dangers around one by one; Song won at the moment and lost at the end. He fought passively. If he won, he would not get much benefit. If he lost, he would sign all kinds of humiliation treaties.

Two against one, the higher the judge.

In fact, these principles are not profound, but they are difficult to see.

The foundation of the great song dynasty today, if you want the world to be unified, it is only possible to win a great war.

If Mao rashly launched the Northern Expedition and suffered another tragic failure, he would really have no strength to return to the sky and no ability to forge ahead.

Xiaozong nodded: "what should you do?"

Gu Cheng said, "when you are engaged in political affairs internally, you should consolidate the border outside (y) ǔ）， To recruit talents and enrich the people's strength is to select good generals, train elite soldiers, prepare equipment and accumulate funds and grain. When the strength is ready and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, we will be invincible in a war! "

A piece of nonsense.

But Xiaozong's eyes flashed and sighed, "I'm wrong. You should be the prince!"

Originally, as the only son of the Emperor today, the crown prince gave up who he was, but when Xiaozong said this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but be happy.

Originally, Xiaozong would not be established until he was seriously ill next year, but now he will be established nearly a year earlier.

Don't underestimate this year, there is a big gap.

Because the prince and King Jia are two concepts, the former can officially participate in the government and hold great power.

Moreover, Xiaozong has been in power for nearly 30 years and has many confidants. It can be seen that he retired to the throne of the supreme emperor and can still interfere with the throne of the prince.

Now with the support of Xiaozong, those ministers should be used by Gu Cheng. With this team, powerful officials like Han Yuzhou want to be overhead, which is daydreaming.

Next, his grandparents and grandchildren Rongrong and Gu Cheng stayed in Chonghua palace for three hours and had lunch until empress Li was not at ease and sent someone to ask.

However, before leaving, Gu Cheng looked at the father-in-law and said with a smile, "the grandson dared to ask for someone from the emperor's grandfather!"

Xiaozong is a hundred eyes to Gu Cheng now. Hearing the speech, he immediately said, "you say!"

Gu Cheng said, "the people I serve around me are old and don't handle affairs neatly. Looking at the concise and capable man around the emperor's grandfather, can you give it to my grandchildren?"

Xiaozong nodded: "Jinzhong, you go down with King Jia's palace and must serve wholeheartedly. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" the father-in-law took orders and stood respectfully behind Gu Cheng.

Until he left Chonghua palace, the father-in-law who followed him sighed: "Your Highness, do you really want to kill all?"

Last night, he wore a mask and displayed the sunflower Scripture. He was arrogant. He thought his identity was secret. Unexpectedly, Gu Cheng found it in less than 12 hours.

The stormy waves in my heart can hardly be described by words!

"Your father-in-law is serious. With your unparalleled martial arts, where can you go and get it?"

Gu Cheng kept walking and said faintly, "it's a pity that no one knows your earth shaking martial arts. What's your name?"

The father-in-law pulled his face: "if you return to your highness, the old slave's surname is Wei and his name is Jinzhong!"

"Wei Jinzhong? OK!" Gu Cheng suddenly turned around and looked at him with bright eyes: "are you willing to be loyal to me? Let me calm the world and be immortal?"

The light in Wei Jinzhong's eyes moved, but he quickly collected it: "I should try my best to serve your highness. I don't dare to think of anything superfluous!"

Gu Cheng smiled: "don't be afraid! The eunuch's disaster has existed since ancient times. Whose fault is it? The emperor is weak! I should be the leader of a generation. If I don't dare to use it even by the people around me, why should I talk about a king in the world?"

Wei Jinzhong would only scoff at this remark, but just now he listened to Gu Cheng's analysis of the Tang and Song Dynasties and the policy of Pingjin. As an old man who has followed Xiaozong for decades, he saw Xiaozong for the first time.

So, when the heroic words echoed in his ears, Wei Jinzhong's heart was filled with a long lost blood.

have a niche in the temple of fame!

As a eunuch, is it possible?

Wei Jinzhong's mouth moved, but Gu Cheng said in advance: "don't hurry to answer first. I don't like to listen to impulsive words. Think about what you can do for me and what you will get after you're done, and then talk!"

Wei Jinzhong's pupils contracted, his hands folded in his sleeves, revealing his thoughts.

The status of eunuchs in the Southern Song Dynasty was very low, mainly because of the strict law of the ancestors and the weight of the prime minister, so Wei Jinzhong had time to practice martial arts and finally created the world-shaking unique skill of sunflower treasure.

In a way, it also shows that he is ambitious. If he can't get power, he will have the best martial arts in the world.

Of course, for eunuchs who are used to seeing the authority of the royal family, no matter how strong their martial arts are, it is also a path, or their power is more attractive. At the same time, it is also an irresistible temptation to keep a name in history.

Therefore, Wei Jinzhong quickly thought about what to want, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Gu Cheng's trap and virtually recognized his refuge.

Gu Cheng raised his lips.

Although he couldn't find the door to the promotion of six knowledge for the time being, he had some experience in observing the appearance. Seeing Wei Jinzhong's face, he knew that this person was different from Huang Chang.

Huang Chang is willing to use it for himself. He is loyal to the imperial court of the Song Dynasty. Wei Jinzhong wants to use it for profit!

"What the old slave can do is to kill for his Highness for a sharp sword!"

Sure enough, when he arrived at King Jia's house, Wei Jinzhong made a decision and knelt down straightly: "the old slave dare not ask for anything else. I only wish I could witness the sweeping of the great Song Dynasty and unify the world in this life!"
