The Spring and Autumn War broke out 20 years ago and ended 16 years ago.In the past four years, the war in the south has been far more tragic than in the north, and the once rich and prosperous towns have been reduced to ruins, devastated and devastated, and the agricultural and fishery economies have suffered devastating blows.In contrast, the situation in the north is more optimistic.The north is strong and the south is weak, which is the situation in the early stage of the formation of the two dynasties.Therefore, in the first year of Yuanwu, after the Tang Dynasty pacified the north, many generals at that time advocated taking advantage of the victory to go south, leveling the Southern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop, and unifying the world.At this juncture, the general Ren Tianxing was framed for rebellion and had no choice but to lead a lone army to break through the blockade and surrender to the Southern Jin Dynasty, which was the first major case of Yuanwu that shocked the world.Ren Tianxing's defection provided an excuse for Taizu of the Northern Tang Dynasty to send troops, and he took the opportunity to send a three-way army to invade the Southern Jin Dynasty, relying on the economic advantage of having the upper hand, and wanted to complete the great cause of reunification.However, without Ren Tianxing, the first founding father, the southern advance of the Northern Tang Dynasty was not smooth, and there was no sign of gaining the upper hand, more like falling into a quagmire, in a dilemma.At this time, the Southern Jin court took the initiative to sue for peace and sent an embassy to negotiate, hoping to buy time for the recovery of the post-war economy.After some fierce negotiations, the Northern Tang Dynasty finally agreed to withdraw the troops and still row the river to rule.This is the famous North-South peace.This peace negotiation, judging from the time at that time, was the Northern Tang Dynasty profiting and grabbing a lot of benefits.But looking back now, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is the Southern Jin Dynasty that really reaps long-term benefits.Buddhism and Taoism advocate compassion and inaction, to put it bluntly, it is not to toss blindly, quiet and natural, which is of extremely positive significance to the Southern Jin Dynasty at that time.After the two dynasties negotiated peace, the Southern Jin Dynasty began to recuperate, giving full play to the advantages of fertile water and soil, and gradually catching up with the others, gradually narrowing the disadvantage of national strength.On the other hand, the Northern Tang Dynasty fell into an increasingly fierce conflict, killing each other, swords and swords, and turmoil in the government and the opposition.Ren Tianxing's rebellion case has made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people panic, and later broke out the world's sensational Xiangwang rebellion case, Emperor Taizu was assassinated, and the empress Wu Qingyi ascended the throne in danger, and finally stabilized the court situation.The three major cases of the Yuan Wu Dynasty greatly damaged the vitality of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and they were unable to take care of the recovery of the strong enemies in the south.Only now did the empress think of the New Deal and the power, and it was too late to chase the pace of the enemy.It can be said that the North-South peace talks changed the general trend at that time and laid the foundation for today's general trend.For this peace negotiation that deeply affected history, the history books of the Southern Jin Dynasty could have spared no pen and ink to describe in detail the negotiation game between the two sides at that time.However, Ren Zhen rummaged through all the classics of the embroidery workshop, and could not find out exactly what the specific bargaining chips were proposed by the Northern Tang Dynasty at that time, and how the Southern Jin Dynasty finally responded.I have to say, this is too strange.Contacting the cause and effect, he couldn't help but start to suspect that his father's death might be related to Yihe.The reason why Nan Jin hid these things from him was because he didn't want him to find out about the dirty deal related to Ren Tianxing.At this moment, when Ren Zhen mentioned the peace between the north and the south, Gu Haitang understood that he had already guessed the truth.She sighed: "So, this is your biggest pain."
Knowing that the real enemy is behind you, knowing that he wants to use you, and you can't get rid of it, you have to grow under his nose, and then follow his will to kill. ”Ren Zhen's expression was gloomy, "The person he wants me to kill is exactly what I want to kill, and if I follow my own will, it is equivalent to following his will."
Those people really deserve to die, but should I still kill them" Gu Haitang nodded, "One trick to kill people with a knife, the emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties have played countless times."
I have known these truths for a long time, but I am powerless to change anything.After all, you have hands and eyes to the sky, and I can't.All I can do is find you and protect you from doing those things. ”Ren Zhen was silent for a while and said, "The experience of the past two days has shaken my position a little. ”Gu Haitang was slightly stunned, "What do you mean" Ren Zhen frowned and said, "I'm wondering, was I too narrow-minded before."
Of course, revenge must be avenged, and maybe I should do something meaningful again, instead of being too utilitarian and obsessed with revenge itself. ”Gu Haitang seems to understand.Ren Zhen explained: "Cui Mingjiu said that he wants to make money in business, but he doesn't want to make money and make money from the poor.I admired him for that, so I suddenly felt that maybe I shouldn't involve more innocent Tang people for revenge. ”Gu Haitang still didn't understand much."
A gentleman has something to do and something not to do.You can understand that while we are taking revenge and killing, we should also take into account those innocent people and those young generations.At least, I can't let Beitang become a mess because of my personal grievances. ”Gu Haitang understood a little, "You can be regarded as repentance" Ren Zhen hiccuped, waved his hand and smiled: "Recently, I just think that we are all living in history and destined to be famous for future generations, instead of being a sinner for the ages, it is better to do more good things now."
Otherwise, what is the difference between us and those enemies" Gu Haitang snorted slightly, "After all, it will be difficult to escape fame and fortune.It turns out that Mr.
Xiao cares about the name behind him. ”Ren Zhen didn't seem to hear her sarcasm, and said with a red face: "Now in Chang'an City, I have become a tree.The tree attracts the wind, but the tree can also block the wind and protect many poor people who are exposed to the wind and rain.I, a little gentleman, also have a lot of hopes" Gu Haitang looked at him and said lightly: "You are drunk." ”Ren Zhen grinned and smiled innocently, "I talked so much with you because I wanted you to understand, and I also wanted me to remember for myself that we came to the capital to find a chair that could enter the game."
If you can really sit on it one day, you have to be worthy of that chair" On the day he first entered Beijing, he told her that the two sides of the game are still two emperors, and he is not qualified to sit in the game.And the experience of the past few days has made him feel that power also corresponds to responsibility, and once it will be done, under that chair, there will inevitably be the corpses of countless loyalists.Just like a conscientious author, he must be worthy of loyal readers, and he must also be worthy of followers such as Cui Mingjiu's generation, and even thousands of Li people in the Northern Tang Dynasty.For revenge, but not only for revenge.He wants to be worthy of his conscience and worthy of the Northern Tang Dynasty.Gu Haitang looked at him quietly for a long time before he said, "I understand, in fact, you are not complaining, but trying to persuade yourself to relax your position and help Beitang cross this hurdle." ”Ren Zhen stood up, stretched his waist, and replied, "As long as you pick out the sand inside, this bag of rice is still good, and there is no need to throw it away."
Right?"
Gu Haitang shook the wine jar and found that it was empty, and said worriedly: "If you want to break free from the shackles of the Southern Jin Dynasty, how to deal with those people in the front yard" She knew that his current position had gradually tilted to the side of the Northern Tang.Ren Zhen walked outside the pavilion and said without looking back: "There are some words that are difficult to say in person."
I'm not afraid of their betrayal, but I'm not reluctant. ”Seeing this, Gu Haitang left after him.Not long after the two left, on the big tree next to the pavilion, an old man in black quietly jumped down.He walked to the stone table, looked at the empty wine jar, and sighed: "Little one, you are forcing me":
