After listening to Chen Wenduan's introduction, Xin Ran said, "it's really that the officials are so mediocre. No wonder the northern expedition launched by the Song Dynasty against the state of Jin was mostly unsuccessful. If it goes on like this, there is no hope for the Song Dynasty to recover the Central Plains."
"However, today's emperors are not very fatuous," Chen Ming said after drinking a glass of wine.
Xin Ran asked, "why do you think so?"
You see, the emperor of ningzong, after all, obeyed Han's advice to canonize Yue Fei as the king of Hubei and cut off Qin Hui's title. You know, marshal Yue was a hero in the eyes of the officials of the main battle faction, which at least played a role in inspiring the morale of the army and the people. So I say that the emperor did a good job, he was not bad, but he did not have the talent of governing the country“ Chen Ming then said to Xin Ran.
Xin Ran said, "there's a certain truth in my words. "
at this time, Chen Wenduan went on to say," as far as I know, the emperor highly praises the talent of brother Xin Shixiong's father. Why don't I introduce you to the present saint? If you meet him, maybe you can persuade him. "
Xin Ran said: "it's a good move. I'm afraid Shi Miyuan knows that it will have an impact on Shixiong's official position in the imperial court. I think I'd better learn from last night and go to the Imperial Palace at night to meet the emperor alone."
If Gong senxin says, "there are a lot of masters in the middle, but how can you guard against them?".
Xin Ran insisted: "you are welcome, elder brother. I think I'd better go alone. There should be no problem."
Seeing Xinran's insistence, Chen Wenduan said to Xinran, "my elder brother has to be like this. In my opinion, I heard that the emperor likes to study in the imperial study at night. There are few people in that place at night, so you can go there to meet the emperor."
"It's best." Xin Ran said to Chen Wenduan happily after listening.
But Chen Ming, standing aside, quit, pouted and said, "brother Xin, I went with you last time. I'm afraid it's more dangerous this time. I can't do without you."
Xin Ran said to Chen Ming, "this time is different from the last time. This time, we mainly meet the emperor to let him know that there is no risk. Just rest at home and wait for your brother's return."
Seeing that Chen Ming still had to insist, Xin Ran said to her with a smile: 'next time something happens, I'll take you there. How about this time, don't argue. "
seeing that Xin Ran was so firm, Chen Ming didn't insist any more, so the matter was settled.
They were all young people. After discussing the matter, they drank happily and went back to their rooms to have a rest until late at night.
On the second day, Xinran had nothing to do, so he took a rest in the palace. At night, Xinran started the technique of lifting the vertical lightness skill according to Chen Wenduan's instructions, and went straight to the palace. Half an hour later, Xinran came to the palace. The night was very dark, and Xinran's lightness skill was very high, so the palace guards didn't find any trace of Xinran.
But the Song Dynasty palace in Lin'an, though not as prosperous as Tokyo in the past, is also very broad and has many buildings.
Although I got Chen Wenduan's advice before I came here, I still got lost in it and didn't know how to get to the imperial study.
Xin Ran is anxious, only to hear the sound of feet, quickly dodge aside.
After a while, two little eunuchs came, carrying a plate. It seemed that there was something in it. One of the eunuchs said, "our emperor studies in the imperial study every night. We are really diligent. It's just that we, the servants, have to give food to the emperor this evening."
After hearing this, Xinran thought to himself: Zhengchou couldn't find a guide, but two of them came. God bless you.
So he quietly followed the two eunuchs.
When he came to the vicinity of the imperial study, Xin Ran did not dare to enter rashly. After careful observation, he saw that except for the people who had just entered, there were only two guards standing at the door. The defense was not very tight. Maybe no one thought that anyone would dare to enter the deep palace in the middle of the night.
After the two eunuchs came out, Xin Ran went to the two guards at the door, took advantage of them, and began to point the acupoints across the air. He put the two guards to sleep in the acupoints, and then hid them in the corner. Xin Ran quietly walked into the door, only to hear someone reciting:
"when a minister hears that something has not come, he often has a plan; when it comes, he often has a plan. In the mid summer of the mausoleum, the officials thought of paying for the national humiliation, and the whole world was straightforward. This heart has never been forgotten for a day. My family was born in Jinan, where I was sent to the Netherlands. The eldest father, Chen Zan, took the family members' clumsiness to get away, was captured by the officials, stayed in the capital, lived in the capital, and was involved in Yihai, which was not his ambition. Every time I return food, I often lead my ministers to look far away, point to the mountains and rivers, and think about fighting, so as to relieve the indignation of my father. Chang Lingchen arrived in Yanshan with the help of his plan. He was concerned about the situation and failed in his plan. When Yue Xinsi was old, he rebelled against the South invaders of Liang Dynasty. The people of the Central Plains gathered in a swarm. His officials, Chang jiuzhong, were two thousand. He arrested Geng Jing and became the chief secretary. Together with Tu Huixia, he had a total of 250000 soldiers and received money in the Dynasty. Unfortunately, it's a big fallacy. "
after hearing this, Xin Ran thought," isn't this the ten treatises on Mei Qin written by my father in the past? I can't help but feel excited. Then he read the second half of the passage:”The heart is full of depression and the heart is full of loyalty. The official is calm, but he steals his thoughts: today, the imperial court thinks that it is a good plan if it is prudent, and the prisoner thinks that it is a good plan if it is beneficial to try. Therefore, the power of peace and war often comes from the enemy, and we should deal with it accordingly. Because the sum of Yanshan is not much, the capital is surrounded, the alliance under the city is formed, and the two palaces are far away. Qin Huizhi's harmony is the opposite of ziziliang's madness. Billy is war, tired is peace, treacherous, I really have nothing. However, Zhang Jun Fu Li's teacher was rough and lively. Although he won, he didn't worry about losing, and things were not perfect. However, considering his loss, Fang Zhu, after he had made peace, threw himself into leisure and trampled on him. Those who don't know how to fight can only see the harm that can't be guaranteed. They can't understand the harmony of their husband and can't rely on it as a serious disease, so they are eager to give up. It is a pity that the imperial court officials were too worried and did not speak of war. The ancients said that we should not frustrate ourselves with minor setbacks, which is exactly what we should listen to. "
I heard that someone outside was also reciting this poem, and the people inside drank: who dares to disturb my reading.
Xinran did not answer, but went directly to the house, saw an old man, dressed in yellow robes, sitting in the study, it is estimated that today's ningzong emperor, so Xinran knelt down, said: "grass people Xinran, see your majesty, disturb Shengjia, please forgive me."
Ningzong saw a man suddenly burst in, thought it was an assassin, can't help but be surprised, stood up from the Dragon chair, but see Xinran no change, but prostrate to the ground, also not so nervous.
