The feudal era had its own characteristics and the limitations of productivity, which made it very different from later generations.

For example, the news spreads at a speed, even if it takes a hundred miles a day, from south to north, from Changsha to Tokyo, it takes three or four days.

Li Jia asked a group of Hanlin Academy of Hanlin Academy to use his literary talent to draft a manifesto of the Northern Expedition, focusing on highlighting Zhao Kuangyin's usurpation, and then lived in China and lost Yan Yun. Then, according to convention, he scolded his ancestors, then started from a moral high ground, criticized them, declared their legitimacy, and called on the vassal states in the Northern Song Dynasty to work together to overthrow this improper regime.

According to the convention at this time, his manifesto used four-six parallel prose, and referred to the format of "Teng Wenge Preface", with neat parallelism, reasonable and well-founded, and was a beautiful article.

The name of the manifesto is - "The Declaration on the Northern Expedition of the Great Tang Dynasty to Counterfeit Song Dynasty".

Then why do we need to issue a manifesto instead of directly attacking and fighting? Isn’t this exposed?

There is a saying that is famous for your master.

In China's history, no matter which side of the battle, they must put their own on the moral commanding heights and criticize others.

For example, "Gan Vow" (Dynasty: Xia Author: Qi Source: "Shu Xia Shu"), and "Zhu Yuanzhang's Proclamation on the Northern Expedition of the Yuan Dynasty" in the early Ming Dynasty (Dynasty: Ming Author: Song Lian Source: "Shi Zu of Ming Dynasty").

In other words, things like prosecutors that are of high quality must not be understood without a certain culture. Those who can understand them are all bureaucrats and landlords.

In other words, issuing a manifesto is actually to win over the other party openly and destroy the other party's morale? Tell him? I am just, you surrender to me? Well.

The "Edict on the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty to Counterfeit Song Dynasty" arrived in Tokyo? Zhao Kuangyin was constantly adjusting his army and gathering supplies? He couldn't help but be furious when he heard about this. After careful study, he was completely blushed: "I'm so angry!!"

"When will the South Country be shameless?" Zhao Guangyi glanced at it, his face turned red and he said in disdain.

This is a criticism of the legitimacy of the Song Dynasty and the legal rationality of the world? For a regime? Incomplete legal principles will give local reasons for turmoil, and even if they are in the world, they will not be at ease.

What is embarrassing is that if Chai Zongxun was there, the Song Dynasty would be justified? Abdication is actually a transfer of the law, but now the drama for thousands of years, the fig leaf of the Song Dynasty? It was actually captured by the Tang Kingdom.

Such a handle is lost? There is no excuse for refuting? It almost made Zhao Kuangyin so angry that he felt so angry.

"This Yan Yun was lost by Shi Jin. What does it have to do with our Song Dynasty?"

"My Song Dynasty is not glorious, isn't it the same with the Tang Kingdom? Even though he was a minister of the Southern Han Dynasty for several generations, he usurped the rebellion without regard for shame..."

Zhao Guangyi cursed and even refuted the terms of the manifesto one by one. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but smile. It turns out that there is still benefits to studying more.

The other court officials were all in anger and reacted in an instant, refuting one by one. Gradually, the Song Dynasty seemed to have gained the upper hand in law.

Zhao Pu was not very knowledgeable, so he sat and watched the ministers' words, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The South is so shameless. The evil people complained first and slandered our dynasty. It was extremely vicious. Our dynasty could not sit idly by and not go back. It was impolite. The Central Plains had always gathered all the wise men, and there were countless outstanding literary talent. Your Majesty could send someone to write the previous "The Great Song Dynasty's Demons to the Southern Kingdom" to declare our orthodox--"

"Okay--" Zhao Kuangyin applauded when he heard this, and his voice was thunderous: "The South is shameless and turns black and white. We naturally want to clear the origin and scatter the filth. So we will write a manifesto and refute it severely-"

The other officials also nodded in agreement, scrambling to assure the emperor that they would write a manifesto that was listed in the history of the Qing Dynasty and was highly literary, and to sweep the face of the southern country.

Until this time, the court of the Song Dynasty did not call it Tang, but despised it as the Southern Kingdom, which also derogated from its destiny and would sooner or later be unified.

After a while of lively, all officials also calmed down a lot. Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand to the court and came to the emperor's study together with Zhao Pu, Zhao Guangyi, the deputy governor Xue Juzheng, Lu Yuqing and others.

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the bed with a gloomy face, Zhao Pu sat on his right, Zhao Guangyi sat on his left, and the other two deputy ministers Xue Juzheng and Lu Yuqing sat on both sides and were below him.

This is the ranking of the power of the Song Dynasty court. Zhao Guangyi was deliberately trained by Zhao Kuangyin, especially now that the situation is tense, his status has risen sharply, only under Prime Minister Zhao Pu.

"Obviously, the South has been prepared. Maybe it has sent a large army to advance, and news will be heard in a few days."

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the couch, his eyes were too far-fetched and his face was extremely bad. Looking at the past few days, he couldn't help but sigh.

"If I had been with me for a few more years, how could I let the South take the lead? We would have long since sprung across the horse and whipped the south and seized the rich Jiangnan land."

"God's will!" Zhao Pu sighed and said, "Although the court has had a lot of war in the past six or seven years, at least it has accumulated some money and food to support the time. If it were two or three years in advance, the court would not even be able to take out the reward before the deportation."

"The situation is difficult!" Zhao Guangyi whispered: "I have investigated the news about the emperor of the Southern Kingdom and found that although he is young, he has a strong ambition. Logically speaking, the man has always been a luxury place. He is so young that he has unified the south. He should be proud and satisfied."

"And, I found that although he was addicted to women, he was just a young man, and he did not give up on the government for a moment. I even heard that he would become a monk and recruit people to travel to the fields, which made such a big joke."

"It can be seen that his ambition is lofty and unconcealed. This invasion of the north, the swords and weapons are directed to Tokyo."

"What the King of Jin said is right!" Zhao Pu rarely agreed: "Although the integration time in the south is short, the people are rich and there is no need to worry about the soldiers and horses. Therefore, we must teach him a lesson this time, which will definitely hit him hard and break his delusions."

"The troops have been sent out. Now in Huainan, Li Chuyun and Wang Shenqi lead troops to guard the troops, one in Yangzhou and the other in Hefei, guarding each other, and there are tens of thousands of imperial guards. In addition, the regiment training is here, there should be no mistakes."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly and then said, "I am not at ease with Pan Mei on the East Road of Shannan. He has already let Shi Shouxin, the governor of Tianping Army, go there. In addition, 20,000 infantry and cavalry, a total of more than 60,000 people. Although the field battle is difficult, there is definitely no problem to guard Xiangzhou City."

"Then, the Qinfeng area in Guanzhong?" Zhao Guangyi whispered.
