[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

"Here, Your Majesty."

The Great Song Emperor Ji has always been graceful and elegant, and will not care about a Xixia king with a distorted expression.Zhao Yuan naturally wouldn't either.

"Brother Huang felt that the credentials you submitted were not honest at all, so he let me come here."

She heard the sound of King Xixia grinding his teeth.

"Since you are determined to be a vassal to the emperor, why not be a vassal forever? I will never be a king in Song Dynasty, is this Xixia..."

She saw the king of Xixia being held firmly on the case by two soldiers, staring at her fiercely, wanting to tear his eyes apart.

"Firstly, I don't like to kill people, and secondly, I don't like to see blood. Since your Majesty is still unwilling to make a decision, I have to let Bendiji do it for me. Well, Bendiji thinks that the east of Xixia Kingdom can be assigned to Shaanxi Road, the main body of Xixia Kingdom can be assigned to Ningxia and Qinghai Second Road, what does your Majesty think?"

"Road" roughly refers to the military area or jurisdiction area.

Judging from this, Zhao Yuan is determined to include the whole map of China.

"Since Your Majesty doesn't speak, I will take it as your acquiescence." Zhao Yuan made his decision on his own, ignoring all the nobles in the palace, tilting his head to Chong Yi with a slight smile, sitting in front of the desk and writing, giving her imperial concubine Brother writes.

The princess ranks higher than the kings, among the people present, Zhao Yuan has the highest status, so naturally she is the most suitable candidate.

This is how to write this memorial, but Zhao Yuan has some difficulties.

Since ancient times, the most taboo of the emperor is the "master of high merit".

Her surname is Zhao, and she is also a princess. Zhao Huan will definitely not make things difficult for her.But Zhongyi is a foreign surname, and he is also the leader of the Western Army. He even swallowed up the entire Xixia, plus the previous fight against the Jin soldiers... At best, it is a meritorious feat; at worst, it is a great achievement host.

The entire Xixia palace was so quiet that even a needle could not fall off, only the panting and breathing of the princes of Xixia remained.Although the rise in the price of salt has strangled the throats of the common people at the bottom, life is not easy for the princes and princes, and there are many people who are weak.Not long after, someone couldn't stand it anymore and passed out.

Zhao Yuan still didn't put pen to paper.

The soldiers began to clean up the scene, and even the entire capital was taken over by the Western Army.Unlike the atmosphere in the palace, excited roars and cheers can be heard everywhere outside the city.The generals escorted the Xixia royal family away in twos and threes,

Zhao Yuan still didn't start writing.

The sky gradually darkened, and the people who had been excited all day gradually dispersed.The merchants who had already prepared brought out big bags of salt and started to sell them.The Xixia Kingdom is not big, but it still has a foundation, and the army has not been gathered.Before taking full control of Xixia, Zhao Yuan did not dare to release all the salt from the market.The Qinghai Lake Salt Road had already been sealed off by the Western Army.

Ok……

She still didn't write.

Seeing the sunset, thick and big candles were also lit on the shore, and a few drops of smudged ink were added to the snow-white cloth, but it was not written.A few days before the case, Zhao Yuan was still thinking hard, but couldn't figure it out.

How should the pen be written in order to strike a delicate balance between "Gong Zhi Feng Hou" and "Gong Gao Zhen Zhu"?

"Di Ji."

Zhao Yuan raised his head and found that Zhong Yi was standing on the side of the desk with a plate of food, his armor still intact, and deep worry in his eyes.She shook her head with a smirk, put down her pen, and moved halfway to the side: "Sit here."

Zhong Yi hesitated for a moment, put the plate on the table, and sat beside Zhao Yuan.

"you……"

"you……"

The two spoke almost at the same time, and were stunned at the same time, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.Zhong Yi raised his hand and gently brushed her sideburn hair, his gaze gradually softened: "But it's a bit embarrassing?"

"Yes." Zhao Yuan replied vaguely.

He thought it was because she didn't know the level of military merit, or she was worried about the distribution of merit, so he persuaded her, "You might as well say something like 'my sister's clever strategy, the soldiers of the Western Army will fight the enemy bravely'." He actually pushed his own merits away Be clean.

Zhao Yuan shook his head, held his hand, and slowly pillowed it on his knee: "It's not this."

Zhong Yi was shocked, and his back was a little stiff.

He has always been mature and prudent, and she also knows that he rarely makes these intimate moves.Now the outside is bustling with people, but the Xixia Palace is quite deserted, she... she is a bit out of line.

Zhao Yuan didn't seem to notice the strange behavior of his fiancé, but told him the reasons one by one.The Zhong family has seen this kind of thing a lot, and she only mentioned a few words before Zhong Yi realized it.Gong Gao Zhenzhu, these four characters will always be the big sword hanging on the head of the general.As for how to deal with it, the breeders also have their own tricks in their pockets.

"Yuan Yuan."

"Ok?"

"Do you believe me?"

Zhao Yuan raised his head and looked at him with some doubts.Zhong Yi looked a little dignified, with light blue tattoos on his face, which looked a little hideous under the candlelight.

"I... of course I believe it."

Zhong Yin hummed, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote small square characters on the silk.His hands are slender and powerful, with well-defined joints. He is used to holding knives and guns, and he is also unambiguous in holding a pen.Zhao Yuan looked at it quietly for a while, but was a little lost in thought.

About half an hour later, he put down his pen, looked down at his fiancée who had a full meal, and said softly, "You can copy it again."

--------

The captives of the Xixia royal family have been sent to Bianliang.

Zhao Yuan's memorial has also been sent to the Privy Council.

The Song army poured in from the east continuously, and began to gather the defeated Xixia Kingdom.And the Hetao Plain with fertile water and grass has already become a second-to-none Happy Valley.According to gossip, this is a kind of cavalry raised by the general.

As for who these cavalry are used against...

Emperor Ji said, don't say it, don't say it.

It has to be said that Zhong Yi's political wisdom is far superior to Zhao Yuan's. In other words, under the style of the Song Dynasty to rule the military with literature, the generals have cultivated top political wisdom.Two words were added to Zhao Yuan's princess title, and her salary was increased by a third. The Privy Council began to mobilize troops from the south to station in the Yanyun and Qinling areas. Suppress bandits in the Xixia Kingdom.

Zhao Yuan felt very depressed.

Although the price of salt in that area will drop by half every time the Western Army suppresses it; although her generals continue to farm and raise horses; The official proposed and decided to send troops to the Northeast...

what does this mean?

The generals have gradually come to the fore and started to wake up, although only a little bit.

It is said that Bianjing is about to change again.

On No.30 seven days after the destruction of the Xixia Kingdom, the Western Army that penetrated deep into the Gobi hinterland welcomed a guest: the head of the Privy Council, Li Gang.Mr. Li is old and strong, and his steps are like the wind, and he will summon Roufu Diji back to the palace as soon as he arrives, there must be no mistakes.Immediately afterwards, the second decree was passed on, saying that he would serve as the supervising army and cooperate with several Dongfu ministers who were in charge of literature and ink to build four roads in Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu, and Shaanxi to show his closeness to the people.

The Zhongshu Gate, the Privy Council, and the top rulers of the entire Song Dynasty have all arrived.

Zhao Yuan had nothing to say, so he naturally packed his bags and went back to Bianliang to see her imperial brother.

Of course, General Zhong had nothing to say, and politely regarded several ministers as guests of honor, and rebuilt several new important towns in the northwest.

However, before leaving, Zhong Yi said a rare word to her:

"Be careful."

Be careful in Bianjing, a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.

The literati, knives, pens and officials are more terrifying places than the battlefield.

Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded at him, stepped on the horse, and rode Juechen.

--------

Bianliang.Prosperity and prosperity.

Different from the decadence a few years ago, today's Bianjing City has restored its former prosperity.Whether it's the noise of play among Gou. Lan tiles, or the high-spirited talks of the princes worrying about state affairs, this city is full of vitality.Zhao Yuan galloped into the city on a scarlet horse, although it scared many lazy pigeons, it also caused a lot of discussion.

"Is that the Empress Roufu?"

"It is said that Princess Yan was ill in Yanjing for a long time, but she recovered today."

"Heavenly General and Goddess Yusi, God bless me Song..."

Zhao Yuan was used to staying in the Northwest, so he felt a little uncomfortable coming to such a place of leaning against the red and nestling in the green.She dismounted from the war horse, changed into brocade clothes under the guidance of the palace staff, visited her father, brother and sister one by one, and had a chat with Wang Guifei before hastily holding the lamp and resting.

Not used to it.

Everything is not used to.

She misses the years when she acted recklessly, and misses the boundless Gobi Desert.

Especially after Concubine Wang Guifei - her biological mother - cried and said, "You have let go, how should you marry in the future, what should you do well", and was ridiculed by the sisters together.

She is an eagle destined to soar in the sky, destined to be unaccustomed to being a woman with tiny feet wrapped around a pair of slender feet in the palace.

Well, didn't you say that she had already proposed to let it go before?

——Don't be silly, with the words "ritual and reason", she can shake so many imperial examination scholars in Zhongshumen, so many "fashionable talents"?

Feeling full and warm, she shouldn't have underestimated the desire of scholars to love little feet.

It seems that the next dose of strong medicine will do.

She thought about it over and over for a long time, and thought of the group of high officials she saw in the northwest before returning to Beijing, and always felt a little distressed.
