Song Beiyun

After hearing this, Zuo Rou slapped her chest loudly, but Zuo Fang always felt that something was wrong, but his temperament was already suppressed, so he didn't make it public, just drank tea quietly, listening to the Two women talk.

Zuo Rou and Die Er exchanged names, and within a short while they were as close as sisters, but Zuo Fang was more careful from the beginning to the end, and Die Er obviously noticed Zuo Fang's cautiousness, and she was very careful when she spoke. Began to be tactful.

But Zuo Rou couldn't notice that as long as this girl was not on the battlefield or on the sand table, she basically didn't know how to use her brain, so she couldn't see the change in the other party's expression at all.

Butterfly left Zuo Rou to eat at home, but Zuo Fang said that there was something else at home and insisted on dragging her sister away.

The new sister said goodbye reluctantly and made an appointment for the next time, Zuo Rou was dragged out by Zuo Fang.

"What are you doing, you don't stop me from having a meal?"

"Sister... something is wrong with this woman."

"What's wrong? I think she's too right. If all the girls in the world are like this, why should I look for a man?"

Zuo Fang looked at her stupid sister in the snow in a hurry, and finally had no choice but to explain to Zuo Rou: "I found three suspicious points."

"Which three places, you say."

"In this first place, you and I were more than ten feet away from her at the beginning. She didn't even glance at us but knew where we were. It shows that she is obviously a martial arts master, but after seeing you and me, she is a So fragile."

"Well... makes sense, then what?"

"The second thing is that after she knew who you were, she was extraordinarily attentive. She kept chatting with you about Persia, and even said that she could trace the origin for mother. Mother has passed away for nearly 20 years, how can she trace the origin? You can’t trace the source, why is she boasting again? This shows that she knows your identity and wants to go further with you.”

"This... I think it's okay. Maybe she likes to brag?"

Zuo Fang can't laugh or cry, such a woman is not a braggart, just now when she was drinking tea, she saw a Luo Zhijing and an unfinished Warring States Policy on the low couch next to her for lunch , is that a book that good people can read?

"Then the third point, sister, haven't you noticed? She has been inquiring about things at home, and even mentioned her brother-in-law three or five times inadvertently. Although you didn't say that her brother-in-law is Song Beiyun, she is really deliberate. Not good at it, but the women in the place of Fireworks and Willow Lane are all so good at speaking."

Zuo Rou narrowed her eyes: "Could it be that her sweetheart is my dog?"

Zuo Fang pondered for a moment: "She may not have a sweetheart."

Chapter 776 Snow on November 11, Seven Years

The heavy snow in Chang'an turned into light snow at night, and it was silent, and the cold was not too heavy, but the snowy Chang'an was so beautiful that it made people feel refreshed.

The snow under his feet was already creaking, and Zuo Rou picked up his younger brother from his sleep before dawn.

"Walk."

"Ancestor...you are my ancestor now, sister. Please don't torment me, let me sleep for a while, it's cold outside."

"Let's investigate that woman."

"Don't investigate anymore..." Zuo Fang sat up from the bed in a daze: "If the man who refused to tell her his name is her brother-in-law, then the woman is probably surrounded by spies, and they won't be able to find out." , what can you and I find out?"

"That's right."

"There is a specialization in art, sister." Zuo Fang sighed: "If you really want to investigate, you might as well date that woman. If you get in touch with a lot, she will show her feet. Brother-in-law said, the world No one can hide their flaws."

"Well, then I'll go."

"Don't!" Zuo Fang grabbed her sister's arm: "It's still dark, sister! Are you going to steal someone's chicken at this time?"

Zuo Rou sat there contemplating for a long time, until the sky brightened, Zuo Fang thought she was finally going to use her brain, but at this moment she sat up straight suddenly: "It's dawn, I'm going!"

"Sister, didn't you just close your eyes and meditate? Why are you still so impulsive?"

"Contemplating? Who is contemplating? I just squinted for a while, isn't it dawn?"

After a lot of effort, Zuo Fang finally stopped Zuo Rou. She said a lot of good things and bad things, and even used her ability to pretend to be sick. I was persuaded to calm down.

"If you want to go, don't go there in the next few days. Didn't she participate in the Chang'an Star draft? Isn't it the final in a few days? Just contact her before the final."

"Well, yes." Zuo Rou nodded vigorously: "This method is good. But she really looks like a mother."

"I actually don't believe that there is such a similar person in the world. She may really have a relationship with my mother. Why don't you... take this opportunity to check it out." Zuo Fang's eyes flickered with coldness: "There is no one in the world." No one can fool me yet."

And just when the Zuo family siblings started scheming, Zhao Xing on the other side of Jinling made a fuss again.

He first ordered that all court ladies over the age of 24 could choose to stay or stay, and then completely abolished the castration system. Although eunuchs were no longer used for a long time, this system has always existed.

Zhao Xing completely abolished this law this time, and government officials at all levels, restaurants, and brothels are not allowed to keep eunuchs anymore, and the existing eunuchs in the palace can also choose to stay.

After the completion of the new palace, Zhao Xing opened up the right to use the old palace. Nearly half of the yamen in Jinling City will be concentrated in the old palace, forming a department-intensive area, in order to reduce the error time consumed out of thin air during office work. .

Since then, several decrees have been promulgated in the early court. In addition to the abolition of eunuchs, there is also a need for women to enter the delivery room when they give birth, and all the expenses incurred will be allocated by the court. It is a special fund, and no one is allowed to misappropriate it.

Afterwards, policies on diseases and some pensions were also put on the agenda. It is clear that in the next ten years, some diseases will no longer need to be treated with money or can be treated with very little money, and The country's pension policy is also handed over to the three provinces to coordinate with the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of War for deliberation.

In addition to these, the flexible tax system will also be officially trialed in the next year. The first batch of places will be Yangzhou, Suzhou and Luzhou. Between the ages of seven and 12, all per capita taxes can be exempted, but they must go to the corresponding school to study. If it is found that someone does not allow their children to study, unless there are special circumstances, they will pay three Double the tax.

Linking the tax system with education can correct the main problems and contradictions that exist at this stage in the shortest possible time. Anyway, we don’t want more excellent quality. The most urgent task now is to increase the literacy population base and think about other things.

How to describe Zhao Xing, anyway, it is unclear how those who were hit by the policy commented on him, but in the mouths of the common people, he is the white moonlight in the trend of the times, and in the eyes of the reading population, he is a prosperous emperor comparable to Emperor Wen of Han.

Some people praised him as the only emperor who realized that "the people have no internal and external corvees, and they can rest on their shoulders in the fields. The world is rich, with millet worth more than ten yuan, cocks barking dogs, and fireworks thousands of miles away. It can be called a happy one."

Of course, if someone said he was good, there would naturally be someone who said he was not good.Zhao Xing would be very angry when he heard it, so he simply held a forum to discuss "private self" and "public law". ".

Jinling City this winter is better than previous years.This winter's Song Dynasty is also better than previous years.

When Zhao Xing stood on the city tower overlooking the common people, he couldn't help sighing, and sometimes even felt unconfident, because it was really hard for him to believe that such a powerful place was born under his hands.

You know, ten years ago, he was always worried about whether he would be killed by a glass of poisoned wine, but now the Song Dynasty has flourished for eight thousand miles from the East China Sea to Kunlun, although it has not yet conquered the world. However, it is now the most prosperous era since the Tang Dynasty. The annual population growth rate is unimaginable in the past, and all of this is only ten years old.

"Nanfeng, sometimes I think, if one day I don't have to worry about anything and the country can run smoothly, I want to go to sea and be a sailor." Zhao Xing held the city wall with his hands, and his cloak was blown away by the north wind. There was a sound of hunting: "But I can't bear to part with this beautiful country, alas..."

"Officials, the world cannot live without you."

"Nanfeng, you actually know it in your heart, right? I and my like-minded people are so that the country can live without me or the emperor." Zhao Xing turned around and waved his fingers: "Looking at the history books, the country's If the rise and fall rests on a certain person or a certain group of people, it will not escape the rise and fall after all. The rise and fall of a country should be to share its millet and go to the country together. I want the Song Dynasty to make China prosperous from generation to generation, a hundred years, a thousand years, Thousands of years later, this article is still endless and endless. The only thing I can do is to turn myself into a ball of fire. Whether it blooms or goes out, it will eventually ignite a barrenness. Only It is the soil that has been truly burned by wildfire that will sow good fruit."

Nanfeng still didn't dare to talk. After all, what the emperor said was even more deviant than deviant. Even he himself had a heart to relax, but in this position he couldn't go along with it. The only thing he could do was to bow his head and keep silent. .

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Xing turned around with a chuckle: "I was born rebellious, and I have been a willful person since I was a child. My only regret is that I can't see how the world will evaluate me after thousands of years. "

But after a while, he smiled relievedly, and said to himself: "It's only spring and autumn when you know I've sinned."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, and the fiery red emperor's cloak fluttered in the wind, reflecting the fiery red of the country and mountains, like a red lotus blooming on the ice in this vast snow scene.

"Official, official."

Suddenly a city defense soldier who was changing shifts behind him stopped him, Zhao Xing turned his head and saw that eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy with a black and red smile on his face and pulling out a lotus leaf bag from his arms.

The guards around Zhao Xing immediately became vigilant, but Zhao Xing waved his hand: "What? Send me something to eat?"

"The glutinous rice chicken made by my mother. My mother made it for me when I was on duty today. I think the official's house is still here so late. It should be that I didn't eat it... so I..."

"Okay, let's get down soon, you treat me to glutinous rice chicken, and I treat you to roast chicken."

Zhao Xing turned around with a smile and left. The silly soldier behind him didn't know how to respond, but saw the officer step up and kicked: "Hurry up and follow!"

"Oh, okay. The officials are waiting for me..."

But Zhao Xing turned his head and said to him: "Don't take this as an example. If everyone comes to deliver food, it will be a waste if I can't finish it."

As usual, the emperor was not allowed to eat indiscriminately, but Zhao Xing was a wayward emperor, he didn't care about that, he just thought this silly boy was simple and cute, and there was not much else.

"Song Beiyun and Yan Shu won't be able to come back to the capital this year." Zhao Xing sighed after getting on the carriage, "It's somewhat lonely."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a piece of glutinous rice chicken and put it into his mouth: "Yeah! This is delicious, come to Nanfeng, let's eat some together."

Nan Feng saluted and said after accepting his grace: "Master Song and Lord Yan are now one in the southern border and the other in the northern border. They are the strong walls of the two levels of the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back later."

"I have decided that when spring comes, I will ennoble Song Beiyun and Yan Shu."

"It's okay for Mr. Yan...Mr. Song will be the public if he enters again. This...isn't it a bit fast?"

"No, no, he must accept this title. Let me see how the Liao Dynasty will deal with him if he is named Duke of Yan."

"This..." Nanfeng was shocked by Zhao Xing's thoughts: "No matter what, the Liao Kingdom will not be able to grant Master Song the title of Duke."

"You really don't understand Liao Emperor." Zhao Xing sighed, "If you guessed correctly, as long as Yan Guogong on my side goes down, Brother Yelu's Wu Guogong will come over."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xing was thinking while chewing the glutinous rice chicken, and then suddenly said with a smile: "Then how about I make him King Rui?"

"The official family... that clan's family must be blown up. Besides, Mr. Song is the son-in-law of King Fu. If you make him king, what should Prince Fu do?"

"Hahahahaha..." Zhao Xing laughed loudly: "It's just a joke. Let's go, let's eat roast chicken, and go to pay back the glutinous rice chicken."

Chapter 777: Sunny November 11, Seven Years

It was the first day after the snow, and the sky was clear.

The snow scene in Luoyang is intertwined with the blooming peonies, making people feel both novel and bizarre.

Today in Luoyang, thirteen peony gardens are open at the same time. In order to welcome the visit of Emperor Liao, Song Beiyun looked at the huge glass greenhouse, and stood there with his hands behind his back, with a disdainful expression. Congratulations, there is flattery between the lines, such as the flowers in Luoshui stepping on the snow, and the peony fairy welcoming the spring.

Using millions of strings to build a whole set of greenhouses and cultivate a bunch of flowers that look good but are not useful is really a waste of blood to please an emperor.

It would be a ghost if the gang of unruly scholars in the Song Dynasty didn't point and scold the person who did it, but here obviously there is no such thing as strength of character, and they all said that they were right, because the emperor happy.

But Song Beiyun couldn't say anything. After all, not a single copper plate of the money spent here came from the treasury. It was all built by the local tyrants in order to make themselves more important in the eyes of the emperor. The design was invited from the Song Dynasty. Teachers and craftsmen use the best and most transparent glass and the most precious seeds.

"Songhou, since you are invited here, why are you so unhappy?"

Fo Baonu led his group of ministers to Song Beiyun. He didn't know where the nerves in his brain were wired wrongly, so he insisted on going up and scratching Song Beiyun.

"Your Majesty, let me calculate for you..."

"Okay." Fo Baonu flicked his sleeves: "Don't say any more."

After saying this, she turned around and led the person away quickly, as if she just realized that the person in front of her was a spoiler king, and she absolutely couldn't talk to him at this time.

Watching Fo Baonu run away, Song Beiyun continued to stand at the entrance of the peony garden, staring at the snow scene outside the glass greenhouse in a daze.

Here these days, I have arranged everything that needs to be arranged. I will wait for a round of student petitions to erupt in a few days. At that time, maybe the local gentry in Luoyang may suppress the students. As long as they arrest people, Song Beiyun's here will immediately make Mr. Wang provoke a confrontational student protest.

At that time, the forces of the two sides will officially enter the stage of full-scale confrontation among the people and the court, and what Fo Baonu has to do is to wait for the opportunity and seize the opportunity to deal with all these people.

Based on the results of Song Beiyun's calculations, this incident is likely to evolve into the most influential case since the founding of the Liao Kingdom, and thousands of people may be dealt with before and after.

And Song Beiyun's requirements for Buddha Baonu are also very simple, reasonable and legal, three in one.When dealing with it, you must not be merciful. No matter what kind of political exchange the other party proposes, you must go to the road of extermination and you're done.

As for the consequences, it's hard to say now, at least Song Beiyun doesn't have the ability to predict.How about saying that those revolutionary ancestors are great, they are always fighting against a decadent and corrupt society in an unknown state, not knowing whether their sacrifices are worthwhile, not knowing whether the future road will be tortuous, not knowing Will it be possible to win in the end.

But some things still have to be done. If a country wants to complete its rise, it must need to be irrigated with blood. Song Dynasty has proved this point. If you want to use the model of non-violence and non-cooperation in exchange for rise, it is no different Yu wishful thinking, in vain to increase the joke.

"Marquis Song, His Majesty let you go."

The female officer came to Song Beiyun, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Please, Marquis Song, please move."

Song Beiyun got up and patted the dust on his buttocks, and walked forward behind the female officer: "I haven't seen you before, you're new here?"

"Back to Marquis Song, I came to assist His Majesty the day before yesterday."

"Oh... not bad, how old is this year?"

"21..."

"Yo, you're 21, are you married yet?"

The female officer looked back at Song Beiyun with a strange expression on her face, then shook her head and said, "Not yet married..."

"Next time, I'll introduce you to a few good guys. You can pick and choose. They are all from my Dasong Academy of Sciences. They are all good." Song Beiyun said seriously: "When the time comes, I really like you, and I will follow you." Say hello, Your Majesty, pack up and get married to Song Dynasty."

"Thank you Song Hou for your concern..."

The female officer didn't know how to answer, but she felt that this person said in a strange way, it's simply disrespectful to be a matchmaker for the female official Suidi whenever someone comes up.

The two of them came to Fo Baonu, she looked up at Song Beiyun: "I have heard that Marquis Song's talent is unparalleled in the world, why don't you compose an impromptu poem today?"

"A cart of charcoal weighs more than a thousand catties, and the palace envoy will not regret it..."

"Cough!" Fo Baonu coughed hard, and gave Song Beiyun a hard look: "Songhou, don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Song squinted at the officials who subconsciously took half a step back, cleared his throat and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I don't like peony."

"Oh? Why?" Fobaonu asked curiously: "Everyone in the world loves peonies, why doesn't Song Hou like them?"

"Me, I don't care what the world loves, I only love chrysanthemums. How about inviting me to enjoy chrysanthemums next time?"

Hearing this, Fo Baonu wished to go up and hit someone, but he was too embarrassed at the scene, so he coughed a few more times and said, "Since Marquis Song doesn't like peony, I won't force it."

Song Beiyun laughed and turned around to leave. Fo Baonu heaved a sigh of relief, resentful in his heart, not only resenting Song Gou for not showing face, but also resenting himself for why he had to come to perform.

Skipping this embarrassing little episode, Fo Baonu's flower viewing trip went smoothly, but when she saw Song Beiyun at the door again, her mood suddenly became bad.

This person is really annoying sometimes, but there is nothing you can do about him. The Emperor Ye of Song Dynasty is not something that the emperor of Liao Kingdom can order now.

On the contrary, when the officials behind Fo Baonu saw Song Beiyun, they were somewhat admirable. This person was really not open-eyed, and he openly spoiled His Majesty's happiness. Thanks to him being a Song official, he would be a Liao official now. Eighty percent of them are going to go to the north of Shanxi to clear snow.
