Chapter 339 Extraordinary mortals!
Entering Beijing, there was no more leisure than the past, but went straight to the palace gate.
At noon, the sun was strong and it was appropriate to kill people, but Song Yi entered the palace gate from the noon gate.
Goodbye to the emperor, I couldn't help but be a little surprised. In a short time, Zhao Kuangyin was so haggard. The original burly figure actually became a little tired.
Although Zhao Kuangyin is tired, he looks good, because he is smiling at this moment.
"How can I force you? You have to escape, but now you take the initiative to enter the palace, which really makes me laugh and cry."
"Your Majesty, the people want to know about the war in the north, and who are the fallen soldiers..."
"If you want to know, will I let you know? You have an idle job. You can ask about the grain affairs in the south of the Yangtze River, but you can't participate in the military. The military situation is important. Except for the people related to the Ministry of War, I have never told too many people!" Zhao Kuangyin said lightly.
Song Yi knew that he would not know so easily, so he could only say, "How can the emperor grant Xiao Min to know?"
Zhao Kuangyin stared at Song Yi for a long time, and then suddenly sighed, "You hide the nobles and bully you. Can you know the sin?"
The words poured into Song Yi's ear like thunder and directly hit his heart. Song Yi's whole body suddenly trembled and looked up at Zhao Kuangyin in horror.
But what I saw was not the anger of the emperor, nor the color of indifference, but a moving old and tired look.
Before Song Yi could say something, Zhao Kuangyin said faintly, "There are some things that you think I don't know, but I actually know... Fortunately, you have always benefited the country and the people in major affairs, otherwise I should have punished you!"
At this time, Song Yi should not excuse anything, so he just forced himself to keep calm and listen to Zhao Kuangyin's words.
And Zhao Kuangyin really didn't mean to stop, but sat in a wide chair and continued, "There are some things that I can't imagine how to do it with your strength, but that doesn't matter, because there are some people in the world who can imagine it. Just like Feiqing... I will never imagine how far he can see. In terms of war, he beats me too much..."
Song Yi was slightly moved. Naturally, it was an extremely rare thing to hear the emperor admit that he was not as good as a person, so his heart became a little uneasy.
"Feiqing is gone... Although I don't know what's going on, he must be disappointed in me, otherwise he won't have seen his family for so long, and he won't have asked about the victory or defeat of the mighty army for so long... He really let go this time!"
"My Feiqing... Let it go! I am a little lost. This loss is a loss that no one can imagine. Because of the loss of Feiqing, I don't know who can guard this country for me, and who can bear the suffering of the rise and fall of the people? Ha ha, but in the final analysis, I'm also wrong... I'm also wrong!"
Zhao Kuangyin seemed to talk to himself in a large chair. Every word was not loud, but every word was shocking in Song Yi's ears. Looking at Zhao Kuangyin's look, it was more like a drooping old man telling a story, but the words were shocking.
"Soong Yi! My words are in your ears and can't be heard again. You should know... I am the son of heaven. If there is a decadent side, naturally I can only let one person know!" Zhao Kuangyin's tone suddenly said in awe.
Song Yi said with a bitter face, "Why me?"
As the saying goes, heroes come in troubled times! I was old, Feiqing left, and General Feng died in the battle. At this time, although Han Cheng and King Kang had an advantage in Yanyun, I became more and more uneasy! The sixteen states of Yanyun have been in the hands of foreigners for many years. Since I was a teenager, I was determined to recover the land, but until my peak and prime, the power of the country was still unsuccessful... At that time, there were me, Feiqing, Shi Shouxin, Feng Qingting, and many heroes... It still can't be recovered! Now, the state of Liaoning has gone, the state of Jin has risen, and our Zhao still has not been able to go further. Although the country is rich and the people are safe, in fact, the country's combat strength is weakening! It's been peaceful for too long, and even my body is old... And more than half of the Manchu Dynasty were from scholars. How can they understand the rapid changes in the battle? Those who know how to fight are dead, but there is no one behind. How can I not worry? And you, I can see that you are different from ordinary people. You are a scholar, but you know the change! Know the change and keep the right... This is the best nature of the art of war that Feiqing once said to me. Although you keep saying that you don't know the art of war, I watch you act strangely... Whether it's the matter of Bianzhou or Luoyang, or the food incident in the south, you have opened my eyes... It's not you, but who is it?"
Facing Zhao Kuangyin's words, Song Yi looked blank and bitter. He really didn't want to take on the favor of the emperor. If he said it, it would probably surprise the whole world. Zhao Kuangyin could see his mood from Song Yi's expression and couldn't help sighing again.
"In my life, there are right and wrong, good and evil. My hands are stained with a lot of blood, and I have even done things that make me hate deeply! But you should know that without me, I don't know how many years of continuous fighting in the world, and I don't know how many times the people will suffer more than now... I dare not say to myself that I am a wise king, but I think I am worthy of this country and the people of the world!" Zhao Kuangyin said solemnly, with undisguised arrogance in his tone.
Song Yi said slightly movedly, "The emperor is naturally a generation of wise kings... Although Song Yi doesn't know much, he knows that since the State of Great Zhao, the people in the world have finally stopped being displaced, and many people who originally left their hometowns because of the war have business to do and can gain a foothold anywhere. In the nine states of the world, the land of Greater Zhao is the richest. Although the people are poor, they are full of life. I hope that in addition to being rich, some of the rich have begun to go to sea and want to see the world farther... Some cities have set up relief places for old and weak orphans. Even when the five families in the south of the Yangtze River are coaxed to raise grain prices, Yangzhou Zhizhou can still open warehouses and granaries to make things right... It is necessary to have political clarity... These are the achievements of the Holy God, which make the world stable and the hearts of the people! But... I'm afraid that the emperor himself did not expect that the Yanyun war would drag the power of the court weaker and weaker, drag the treasury more and more nervously, and drag fewer and fewer soldiers who are good at fighting and brave in our dynasty... At this time, in the early summer, the emperor has seen scholars and scholars chanting poems everywhere. How many young people are still martial arts?
Zhao Kuangyin listened, and sometimes bright flashed in his eyes, sometimes lost, and finally turned into a wry smile. Then he looked at Song Yi and said, "Even if he discusses things in the court, not many people dare to speak so bluntly to me, even if it is an a magistrate... I dare not! It can be seen that you are finally different from all officials, and where I passed, my subjects knelt down, and no one dared to look directly at me. I really don't even understand your difference! What's strange is that I don't feel abrupt. I just feel that you have a momentum that ordinary people don't have. The occasional foresight between the words makes me suddenly understand. Looking at the world is like you standing in front of the sand table and witnessing it, which is clearer than all my ministers. Why is this?
"Song Yi is not as powerful as the emperor said, but the emperor is right that I have stood in front of the sand table and seen something that no one has ever seen..." Song Yi said with a meaningful expression.
"What is it?" Zhao Kuangyin's expression moved and asked doubtfully.
Song Yi smiled and said, "Like a game... Or shipbuilding."
Zhao Kuangyin was stunned and suddenly laughed until he coughed. Then he gasped and stopped laughing. After a long time, he asked extremely seriously, "You come to see me, I'm also waiting for you!" You choose..."
Then, it was Song Yi who fell into deep thinking.
"How to choose?"
"The Ministry of War, or the mighty army?" Zhao Kuangyin said with an awe-inspiring look.
Song Yi pondered for a moment, and then raised his head and said resolutely, "I have to choose, I choose the mighty army!"
Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly, and then said solemnly, "The mighty army is different from what you think. Each of them is trained in the way of Feiqing, and the mighty army has always listened to Feiqing's orders in their hearts. They don't talk about the rules of the battle array or the orders of the court. They only think it is beneficial or mighty to the people. Military benefits, you really choose to go there. You have to think about a good situation, that is, no one will obey your orders. Your orders will not work there. At that time... You will be more difficult than Hancheng. I think it would be more appropriate for you to choose the identity of the Ministry of War..."
"If the identity of the Ministry of War is really valid, didn't the Minister of the Ministry of War go? If the identity is useful, didn't His Royal Highness King Kang go? I'm going to... Not to be a commander, but a soldier! The battlefield is too big, and there are too many armies. No matter how the emperor raised his love before, I know in my heart that I can only take care of one mu and three cents of land around me, no matter how much... That's the general's business!" Song Yi said seriously.
Zhao Kuangyin frowned tightly and thought, which was obviously different from his idea, and he was also thinking deeply about the meaning of Song Yi's words.
"Before going to the mighty army, you go to see Mrs. Yue first. Let's see what she says. You can come to see me and choose again!" Zhao Kuangyin said solemnly.
Song Yi then left the palace and lived in the Huibin Building.
When the night market was bustling, Song Yi took Wu Jian to walk in this majestic city, introducing the snacks of the capital. Unconsciously, he walked to the Yellow Sparrow Tower, and was destined to meet Ning Shishi.
Yangrong, gorgeous, a cold to high momentum, a woman with a cold expression.
Wu Jian didn't understand why he felt a little cool when he saw the woman, and why Song Yi stopped and stood on the stairs and didn't take a step forward.
A few steps across the stairs, it seems to be the farthest distance in the world.
Ning Shishi snorted coldly. Behind him, a warrior stepped forward and drew a knife to deter Song Yi from giving way. Song Yi's eyes did not care about everything, but just looked at Ning Shishi's round and graceful abdomen.
Gang!
Seeing that Song Yi was indifferent, the samurai instantly drew a knife and split towards Song Yi fiercely.
Standing behind Song Yi, Wu Jian originally thought that Song Yi would fight back, until the blade approached Song Yi and saw that he was out of his mind. In surprise, he also came out with a knife in an instant.
Another 'sound' sound. After the two knives collided, a sigh came from Song Yi's mouth...
