One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin said: "So, we have already made a mistake once, and we cannot make it again. No matter what nationality you are, you must treat the people well, so that you can stand firm in Yanyun. You must make this clear to the soldiers below. , if anyone jeopardizes the Northern Expedition because of ethnic issues, I will not spare it lightly."

Yue Fei and Li Ruoxu clasped their fists and said, "I obey the order."

Li Xin called Yue Yun to his side and said: "Yue Fei, I am very interested in your son. I, Yue Yun, stayed by my side to train him personally."

Yue Fei stammered: "This"

Li Xin said: "Don't worry, I will not treat Yue Yun badly. In my opinion, Yue Yun's future will definitely be much better than that of you as a father. When Yue Yun succeeds in the future, I will also treat you as a father." My eldest daughter is betrothed to him, and the matter is settled, Yue Fei, don’t say anything."

Li Ruoxu winked at Yue Fei frequently, and Yue Fei finally clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your kindness on Quanzi's behalf."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, by the way, only you three and Liu Qi know about my king's plan for the Northern Expedition. I ask you to keep it strictly secret, whether it is from your relatives or subordinates."

The two replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After Yue Fei and Li Ruoxu left, Li Xin took Yue Yun to continue visiting Yuewang Mountain. Li Xin asked: "Yue Yun, do you know Huo Qubing?"

Yue Yun replied: "I know that my father often told me the story of Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing was a famous general and strategist of the Han Dynasty, and he was also a national hero of the Han Dynasty."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, then do you want to become a national hero like Huo Qubing?"

Yue Yun said without thinking: "I think so."

Li Xin said: "Just think about it, but you need to learn a lot to become a hero like Huo Qubing. You go back and pack up and take this letter to Quanzhou. When you get there, give this letter to Quanzhou Defense Envoy Zhang Hu, and he will I will arrange for you to go to a place, and you must study hard when you get there. After you complete your studies, I will allow you to form a force of ten thousand cavalry, who will gallop on the battlefield and make contributions to our great Han Dynasty." After speaking, Li Xin handed a letter to Yue Yun.

Yue Yun took the letter and said: "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Li Xin said with satisfaction: "Okay, when you come back with ten thousand cavalry, I will marry my eldest daughter to you. By then you will be my son-in-law, and we will work hard together." Let us Han people rise again."

Yue Yun knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."

Yue Yun took the letter and left. Li Xin looked at Yue Yun's back and became more and more satisfied. When he returned to the house, Li Xin went directly to Yu Liyan. When Yu Liyan saw Li Xin coming, he teased: "What a rare visitor. Why is the prince free to come to my place today?"

Li Xin asked: "Is Xin Ning at home?"

Yu Liyan replied: "Xin Ning went to school to study, but she hasn't come back yet."

Li Xin said: "Well, um, let me tell you something. Today I have decided on Xin Ning's future marriage."

Yu Liyan was shocked and said: "What, you have decided your daughter's marriage and you haven't told me yet."

Li Xin explained: "Madam, don't worry, I will not treat my daughter badly. Her future husband is the eldest son of my general."

Yu Liyan asked: "Which general?"

Li Xin replied: "Yue Fei, his eldest son is called Yue Yun. He is four years older than Xining. The boy is very handsome. I was very satisfied with seeing him today and betrothed Xin Ning to him. I have asked him to go to Xinghan." He has gone to study at Dao Chongwu Academy. When he returns from his studies, he will be asked to form a cavalry team of people. When he comes back with the cavalry team, it will be the time when he and Xin Ning get married. Yue Yun's future achievements will not be small. , I raised him as Huo Qubing."

Yu Liyan sighed: "Okay, you are my daughter's father, as long as you don't cheat your daughter."

In the evening, Li Xinning came back from school carrying a small bag. When she entered the room, she shouted: "Mom, I'm back."

Yu Liyan said: "Keep your voice down, your brother just fell asleep. How was school today?"

Xin Ning replied: "It's the same as usual."

Yu Liyan gestured: "Xin Ning, sit down, mother wants to tell you something."

After hearing this, Xin Ning sat down obediently, blinked and looked at Yu Liyan and said, "Mother, tell me what's going on."

Yu Liyan sat down and said, "Xin Ning, you are already ten years old this year. Your father has decided your future marriage today."

Xin Ning said angrily: "Dad decided on my marriage without even saying a word to me. I'll go find dad to reason."

Yu Liyan pulled Xin Ning and said: "You'd better not go to your father. Although your father dotes on you, when have you ever seen your father regret something he decided? Besides, your father will not harm you." I have married you, and I heard from your father that your future husband is a very handsome young man, and your father was very satisfied with the young man after meeting him today, so he betrothed you to him."

Xin Ning asked angrily: "Mother, what is his name?"

Yu Liyan replied: "I heard from your father that his name is Yue Yun and he is the eldest son of your father's general Yue Fei. Your father has sent him to study at Chongwu Academy on Xinghan Island. Your father raised him as Huo Qubing. .”

Xin Ning pouted and said: "Okay, I know." Li Xin Ning thought that she would go to Fujian to study in two years anyway. Since her father spoke so well of him, she would go to Xinghan Island to see what he looked like. Let’s talk about the appearance.

Moreover, not long after Qu Duang settled in Xiangyang, Li Xin received a letter from him reporting that the puppet Qi troops of Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou were heading south in large numbers, intending to invade Dengzhou and Tangzhou.

When Li Xin received Qu Duan's urgent report, he learned that Wang Lun and the Jin envoys had arrived in Lin'an. Therefore, Li Xin called Zhao Ding and said: "This is an urgent report from Qu Duan. Zhao Xianggong should take a look. "

Zhao Ding read it and said: "The Puppet Qi clearly knew that the envoys from the Jin Kingdom were coming for peace talks, but they dared to invade Dengzhou and Tangzhou rashly. I think there must be something fishy in this."

Li Xin nodded and said: "There are two possibilities. The first one is that the Puppet Qi invaded so boldly because they deliberately dragged the Jin Kingdom into the quagmire of war and expanded their territory and interests with the help of the Jin people; the second one is that the Puppet Qi invaded so boldly. Qi is cooperating with the peace negotiation mission of Jin State envoys in order to put pressure on me to achieve the best interests of Jin State."

Zhao Ding said: "The prince will know his purpose as soon as he sees the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin."

In the twelfth lunar month of the seventh year of Jianyan, Li Xin met with the peace envoys of the Kingdom of Jin for the first time. On this day, Li Xin sat high in the palace, Zhang Jun, Zhao Ding and other civil servants were in the east of the palace, and Yang Yizhong stood in military uniform and sword in the west of the palace. Yang Yizhong led the right guard army to station in Lin'an, which was equivalent to the commander of the garrison and was responsible for protecting Li Xin and Lin'an. Following Xiao Dezi's call for the Jin envoy to come to see him, Wang Lun accompanied the arrogant Jin envoy Li Yongshou and his deputy envoys through the door and appeared in front of everyone. Li Xin couldn't help frowning when he saw that the golden envoy refused to bow.

Yang Yizhong shouted: "I am the regent of the Song Dynasty and you still don't bow down"
