Chapter 10 Li Shimin: I want to confer a title of nobility on Yue Fei!
The plane of the late Han Dynasty.

Liu, Guan and Zhang were very angry.

Zhang Fei was furious. He slammed the table, stood up and shouted, "I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

"Shi Jingtang is so cowardly that he ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Khitan and even called himself a puppet emperor! He is a disgrace to the Han people!"

"If this guy hadn't been born yet, I would have stabbed him through hundreds of transparent skulls!"

Guan Yu tightly grasped the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Third brother, what you said is absolutely right."

"If such a shameless person were alive today, I would definitely chop off his head!"

Liu Bei looked angry and said, "The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are the gateway to the Central Plains. Once lost, the Khitan cavalry will be able to march straight in, and the people of the Central Plains will never have peace."

……

The Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Shimin was so angry that he put his hands on his hips.

"Sinner! Sinner!"

Shi Jingtang used all means to become emperor, which really made him angry.

Wei Zheng's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Shi Jingtang's action is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall himself. He is truly a sinner for all eternity!"

……

[In 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, put on the yellow robe, and established the Northern Song Dynasty. ]

[In 961 AD, Zhao Kuangyin gave up military power over a cup of wine. ]

[After that, the Northern Song Dynasty successively destroyed the six kingdoms of Jingnan, Hou Shu, Southern Han, Southern Tang, Wuyue, and Northern Han, and coexisted with the Dangxiang of the Liao Dynasty. ]

[In 1038 AD, Li Yuanhao, the leader of the Tanguts, proclaimed himself emperor and established the Western Xia.]

[In 1115 AD, Wanyan Aguda, the leader of the Jurchen tribe, proclaimed himself emperor and established the Jin Dynasty.]

[In 1125 AD, the Song and Jin jointly attacked and destroyed the Liao Kingdom. During this period, the Song and Liao fought many battles and the Liao Kingdom was basically destroyed by the Jin Kingdom.]

[In 1126 AD, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng saw the weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty and sent troops to attack it. ]

[In 1127, the Jin army conquered the Northern Song capital Bianjing, abducted Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong and took them northward, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, which is known in history as the Jingkang Shame.]

【The Northern Song Dynasty, which had existed for 167 years, was destroyed.】

See these.

Zhao Kuangyin's face changed drastically.

The Northern Song Dynasty suffered repeated defeats in foreign wars, and the city of Bianjing was even broken?

The army’s combat effectiveness is so weak?
Shouldn't it?

He led the troops to conquer six kingdoms one after another, and his army was invincible. Why were the military preparedness so lax in later generations, allowing the Hu people to break into the capital?

Zhao Kuangyin paced anxiously in the palace.

Suddenly, his body trembled.

"Could it be... that it was because of the cup of wine that released the military power?"

……

[In the same year, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Emperor Huizong of Song, traveled south from Jeju and ascended the throne in Yingtianfu, establishing the Southern Song Dynasty and becoming Emperor Gaozong of Song.]

[From 1134 to 1140, Yue Fei led a northern expedition and won many battles.]

[In 1134 AD, Yue Fei conquered six counties in succession, including Yingzhou, Suizhou, Xiangyang, Dengzhou, Tangzhou, and Xinyangjun, during his first northern expedition, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Jin Dynasty.]

[This series of victories not only recovered a large amount of lost territory, but also gave the Southern Song army and people hope to resist foreign aggression and recover the lost territory.]

[In 1136 AD, Yue Fei launched another northern expedition, successively captured Shangzhou and Guozhou, approached Luoyang, forced the Jin Dynasty to abolish Liu Yu's pseudo-Qi regime, and further weakened the Jin Dynasty's power in the Central Plains. ]

[In 1140 AD, the Jin Dynasty marched south to attack the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei led his army to the north for the third time, and his troops were unstoppable wherever they went.]

[Successively won the battles of Yingchang, Chenzhou, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, etc., and annihilated tens of thousands of enemies.]

[In 1141 AD, Yue Fei was killed on trumped-up charges, along with his eldest son Yue Yun and his general Zhang Xian. This was the end of a generation of famous anti-Jin generals.]

[Looking back on Yue Fei's life, he joined the army four times since he was 20 years old, and participated in and commanded hundreds of battles of varying sizes. He was a famous general who fought against the Jin army during the Southern Song Dynasty, and was also a famous military strategist, national hero, calligrapher, and poet in history. He was ranked first among the "Four Generals of the Southern Song Dynasty's Restoration."]

[At the same time, his literary talent is rare among generals. His immortal poem "Man Jiang Hong" is a famous patriotic poem that has been passed down through the ages.]

【…】

As the sky curtain revealed the original text of Man Jiang Hong.

Every dynasty was moved.

"The shame of Jingkang has not yet been avenged. When will the hatred of ministers be eliminated?" Read to this point.

Thinking about the dark world and the incompetence of the court, Liu Bei felt a sense of empathy and tears fell unconsciously.

"The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty."

Guan Yu exclaimed: "This man is truly a hero. Thinking of this, I wish I could follow him to the battlefield and fight for our country!"

Zhang Fei clasped his hands together: "Me too!"

……

"Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que."

Reciting Yue Fei's poem "Man Jiang Hong", Cao Cao suddenly felt a love for his talent.

"It is a great pity in life that such a hero could not be born in the same era as him."

……

at the same time.

The Tang Dynasty plane.

"My hair is standing on end with anger, and the rain has stopped as I lean on the railing."

After reading the first three sentences, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown, as if he could feel the anger and helplessness in Yue Fei's heart at that time.

He seemed to be able to imagine Yue Fei standing on a tall building, facing the precarious country, his heart filled with grief for the misfortune of his country.

"Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon."

"Don't wait for a moment, white your young head, empty and sorrowful."

When Wei Zheng read this sentence, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He was deeply shocked by the determination and perseverance to move forward despite difficulties, the cherishment of life and the sense of urgency of time in the poems.

"The shame of Jingkang has not yet been avenged. When will the hatred of the ministers be eliminated..."

"When hungry, I would eat the meat of the barbarians; when thirsty, I would drink the blood of the Xiongnu..."

Thinking of this, Li Shimin slammed the table and stood up.

He seemed to see Yue Fei's fearless heroism and his determination to sacrifice everything for national dignity and national interests.

At the same time, a strong resonance surged in his heart, as if he was also on the battlefield with swords and spears.

"He is truly a loyal minister."

Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also showed admiration on their faces.

Li Shimin listened to the discussions of his ministers and felt deeply moved.

He looked up at the sky.

He said slowly: "Although this Yue Fei is not from my Tang Dynasty."

"But his loyalty and bravery are unparalleled and he deserves the admiration of the world!"

"The people of Song are stupid and don't know heroes. I am different from them!"

"Preach my will."

"I want to confer the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery on Yue Fei, enshrine him in the temple, and let the people of the world remember him together."

When the ministers heard Li Shimin's words, they were shocked.

Your Majesty actually wants to confer titles of nobility upon people of later generations and even build temples for them!
What an honor!

however.

No one thought there was anything wrong.

Yue Fei lived up to the values ​​of loyalty and righteousness throughout his life.

The fact that such a hero suffered an unjust punishment shows how foolish the emperors of later generations were.

It chilled the hearts of so many soldiers across the world.

Your Majesty, by doing this, can not only make Yue Fei famous and promote his loyalty and righteousness, but also show that you have a broad mind. Why not do it?

Anyway it's just an empty title, and Yue Fei is not a person of the time.

Later emperors could confer titles of nobility and gods on ancient people.

Why can't the emperor of the time confer the title of marquis on people of later generations?
Just claim to the outside world that it was a dream sent by an immortal.

Who questions?
Who opposes?
