[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

Liang Zi of Xixia and Song Dynasty has been married for a long time.

Deep and shallow ink marks were blurred on the large map, as thick as blood soaked on the loess.I can't remember how many days and nights I woke up to the sound of gold and iron horses, drinking horses and long rivers, singing night songs with Qiang flutes, and a pot of the strongest wine accompanied by the general's order, spread in this ancient land. Hundreds of spring and autumn.

After Zhong Yi listened to her words, his brows gradually eased, his face, which had been hazy for a long time, finally cleared up, and his deep facial features became more and more hardened by the candlelight. "I believe what you say." He said, repeating the same words for three years.

Zhao Yuan slowly took half a step back, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Since that's the case, I will go to Yanjing tomorrow."

From Shuozhou to Yanjing City, it spans half of the Great Song Dynasty.The time of going back and forth is enough for the war to continue wantonly.Zhao Yuan left a letter to Zhao Kai, saying that he wanted to bring back his long history.Zhao Kai was silent for a long time while smoothing the letter paper, and finally told the boy to pick a good horse, he wanted to go to Yanjing with his sister.

It is a very eye-catching thing for a prince and a princess to suddenly go from the western border to the most prosperous Yanjing.

Most of Yan Yun's eyes were attracted to Zhao Kai and Zhao Yuan, and the officials along the way flattered and took care of the two of them submissively.With a swipe of Zhao Yuan's pen, several senior officials were promoted secretly, and the main affairs of each state capital were switched from east to west, north to south.Those who were originally in charge in Zhuozhou were transferred to Ruzhou; those who were high officials in Xinzhou were transferred to Yanzhou... Anyway, they are all flat transfers, or they are promoted. Even if the transferred people have complaints, they will not What a mess.

Zhao Kai keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere, found a suitable opportunity, and asked Zhao Yuan: "This is it, are you going to do it?"

"Ah."

"Then why..."

"For the sake of restraint." Zhao Yuan replied, "Many times, the villains are the ones who do bad things. Because they don't want to change the status quo."

Zhao Kai was silent.My sister's political sense is much more sensitive than his.

When His Royal Highness King Yun and Princess Yan entered Yanjing, they immediately received the warmest welcome.Zhao Yuan was extremely high-profile this time, wearing crimson purple robes to patrol the streets every day, attracting countless killers.At first Zhao Kai followed her around for a while, but later he couldn't take it anymore, so he just nested in the princess mansion to study calligraphy and painting, and brought the princess and the young prince over by the way, planning to live there forever.

Zhao Yuan expressed 12 protests against this behavior of doves occupying magpies' nests.

Zhao Kai looked confident and confident: "I took your sister-in-law and nephew to be with you, what's wrong?"

"It's easier to be a target!"

"You were meant to be a target, but the third brother just made the target bigger for you."

"But your princess and son..."

"The personal guards of the palace will also follow." Zhao Kai sighed, "To tell you the truth, the officials are determined to do it this time. Now that Bianliang is full of blood and blood, my fief is not safe, but your Yan Yunshiliuzhou, it should be quieter."

Zhao Yuan was startled: "Do it?"

"Well. The official family has opened Enke for two years in a row. The spring and autumn are not falling, and they even have to hold martial arts again—although it was refuted by the Privy Council—but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the official family wants to Clean up the remnants of the ninth younger brother. The princes make a lot of trouble every day, just to keep their disciples. Do you know that the smarter officials now want to be sent to Yanyun's side."

Zhao Yuan was beyond shocked.

These days, she is busy mediating matters between Xixia and Liao, and she hasn't paid attention to Bianliang for a long time.The bloody storm in Bianliang has become so serious?

"That's why the government made that decree a few years ago, asking you to keep the border undisturbed no matter what."

Zhao Yuan was silent for a long time after listening.

She knew that the dispute between the two emperors would not end so easily, but she never expected that Zhao Huan would have such great determination.The purge of Kang Wang's remnant party is false, but the bloody cleansing of officialdom is true.It is estimated that the Jingkang Change has taught Zhao Huan a great lesson. The current atmosphere in the officialdom may guarantee wealth and glory, but it will definitely not be able to withstand the invasion of powerful enemies.

Although there is Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun that can barely be regarded as impenetrable, but what about after a hundred or a thousand years?A thousand-year-old character is no match for a butcher's knife. Under the logic of tyrannical gangsters, the glamor of a scholar is a complete joke.

"Check and balance." She murmured to herself.

A hand stretched out from the side and pressed her mouth firmly. "You're crazy." Zhao Kai lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "You dare to say such nonsense, are you dying?"

Zhao Yuan struggled a few times, finally broke away Zhao Kai's hand, and gave him a look: "I was just thinking, if I were the eldest brother, how would I deal with myself. Move the whole body, then I can't..."

"Oh? Then tell me, if you were me, how would you deal with yourself?"

A joking and exhausted inquiry made both of them turn their heads in surprise.At the gate of Princess Yan's Mansion on the Qingshi steps, a luxurious dragon chariot was quietly placed for an unknown how long.Zhao Huan, who was wearing a uniform, stood on the blue stone steps, looked around from left to right, and then said lightly: "I heard that the third brother and Huanhuan have come to Yanjing, so I might as well join in the fun .”

"Officials."

"Officials."

Zhao Yuan and Zhao Kai all saluted, and the surrounding people had already knelt on the ground.

Zhao Huan stepped into the princess mansion, looked at Zhao Kai with a smile that was not a smile, and said leisurely: "Third brother is really a good plan. I have always heard that Yanjing is called 'Little Bianliang', and it is prosperous and prosperous. So I decided to come over for a bit of fun. I wonder what Princess Yan would like?"

"It's my sister's luck for the official family to come to Yanjing."

"Okay." Zhao Huan laughed out loud, and the clear laughter echoed in the princess' mansion, sweeping away the previous depression, "I also brought a few young people here this time, all of whom were young talents who were elected years ago. I also need to ask the imperial sister to tune in and teach me a lot..."

It's getting messy.

It's getting more and more chaotic...

In order to make a move for the Western Army, she did not hesitate to come to Yanjing herself as a target; Zhao Kai also followed to Yanjing, and wanted to bring the concubine and son together; Waiting for "teaching" the new Jinshi...

Are all of them crazy! ! !

Zhao Yuan lowered his head and talked with Zhao Huan for a while, feeling more and more confused.

"I haven't seen Huanhuan for a long time, and I miss you very much. Huanhuan might as well ask someone to prepare some food and wine, and you and I can have a good talk. The third brother also come together, and I will send someone to pick up your princess and son tomorrow." , by the way, even the crown prince also came to pick it up, wouldn't it be wonderful."

Zhao Kai was stunned when he heard the words, but he didn't say much, he just bowed and said, "Thank you, the official."

Zhao Yuan called her long history rather wordlessly, picked a neat place, and prepared some neat dishes.Most of the banquets held by the royal family were divided into tables, so it didn't matter whether they had a banquet or not.Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Huan dismissed everyone, leaving only the three brothers and sisters, and slowly talked about his future plans.

It turned out that it was about mobilizing troops against Xixia.

Xixia has always been the confidant of the Song Dynasty. Zhong Yi wrote many times to ask for the mobilization of troops. Zhao Huan was naturally happy to see the success and approved all of them.But at that time, the court had been divided into two factions, the old and the new, and they were strangled to death by the fact that "King Kang proclaimed himself emperor without permission".On the surface, it was for Kang Wang Zhao Gou, but in private, it was for his own faction and disciples.This time it was said that troops would be mobilized, and the two factions fought again.

One faction, headed by Li Gang, felt that Da Song needed to wash away his weakness and fight a good game.

One faction doesn't know who is the leader, in short, they feel that the life of a scholar is higher than the sky, and they are determined not to let the generals take this opportunity to stand up and so on...

The two factions pinched each other to the death and almost knocked Yue Fei off the stage.Fortunately, Zhao Huan himself was willing to protect him, and sent Yue Fei to Shanhaiguan to guard Yan Yun's throat, so he escaped a storm.

So before Zhong Yi told her that if he failed this time, he would never have a second chance.

Zhao Yuan was a little surprised.

She didn't expect that this storm would come so quickly.

Originally, her plan was to use a few victories to consolidate Zhong Yi's position, and then help him to move up slowly until he reached the position of chief and deputy envoy of the Privy Council. , Promote the rank of generals.Why this time...so fast?

"Lord Li really admires Huanhuan very much." Zhao Huan was a little emotional, "And Master Zhang. Well, I thought, you probably don't remember him. Back then you left Master Zhang in Shangjing and asked him to replace me. Covering up has helped me block many open and hidden arrows. Mr. Zhang is a very smart person, but it is a pity that he is too self-absorbed and cannot be reused."

Zhao Yuan was shocked again.Master Zhang, Zhang Bangchang?he! ?

"And one time, Master Zhang actually told me that Diji Roufu scolded the dreamer, and everyone in the world should be scolded by Diji severely, haha..." Zhao Huan shook his head Smiling wryly, then looked at Zhao Yuan expectantly, "I really can't do anything this time, Huanhuan, tell me, how should I calm down this chaos?"

Zhao Yuan stopped chopsticks and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Huan didn't bother her either, he just held up his cup and sipped it slowly.

Zhao Kai felt a headache after listening for a while.If this kind of mess happened to him, he would have to deal with it on the spot.I vaguely remember that Zhao Huan did the same thing in the past, but after experiencing the Jingkang Change, he seemed to be a different person, able to endure and be ruthless, and most importantly, he saw some things clearly.He felt that he could only be a rich prince for the rest of his life. If he wanted to be an emperor, he would definitely be a fool.

However, Zhao Kai really wanted to see how this always intelligent imperial sister would untie this knot.

The atmosphere at the banquet was somewhat dull, but there was a commotion outside.Zhao Huan was a little displeased, so he summoned the personal eunuch to inquire carefully, but there was a Hu merchant who wanted to see Roufu Diji.According to the Hu businessman, he has something Di Ji is interested in.

Zhao Huan became very interested when he heard the words, and wanted to know what "diji is interested in", so with a big wave of his hand, he called the Hu merchant in.Hu Shang first greeted Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai, and Zhao Yuan respectfully, then smiled slightly at Zhao Yuan, who was wandering too far away, put his right hand on his chest, and bent slightly: "I can get the bloody BMW you are 'interested in', but , you have to use 'that kind of colored glaze' in exchange."

Zhao Yuan was shocked, picked up the white jade wine glass, took a sip, and didn't say a word.

"I'm a Hu merchant. I only do business and don't talk about other things." Hu Shang talked eloquently, "I heard that Yanyun Sixteen States are very good to merchants, so I plan to do business with Diji. I have traveled all over the Western Regions, I finally found the hard-earned BMW that you are 'interested in', and I heard that you have a 'special' colored glaze, which is incomparably wonderful. I don't know if this business is for Diji or not?"

Zhao Yuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, playing with the white jade wine glass with his slender five fingers, but still didn't say a word.

"To show my sincerity, I will confess my past to you. I was originally a horse thief, but later became a businessman. I have been to Mongolia, Liao, and Xixia. I am proficient in many countries Language, the people under me also control a whole business road. If Di Ji doesn't believe it, I can take you for a walk. I think the hard-earned BMW you are 'interested in' should be worthy of 'that' Kind of glass' price."

Zhao Yuan's expression relaxed slightly: "Just now you used the Mongolian ceremony."

Hu Shang opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Does Di Ji doubt my sincerity? No, no, no, I am just a small horse thief and businessman. Di Ji has a wide range of knowledge, and even knows Mongolian etiquette. Don't let me sigh. Emperor Ji, please rest assured, I absolutely didn't mean to test you just now..."

Zhao Yuan smiled lightly.

The bloody horses she is "interested in" are naturally more than a thousand mares.

"That kind of glass" is undoubtedly a telescope.

This is the top secret of the Western Army, even some high-ranking generals don’t know it, and even Zhao Huan only knows a little bit, but he actually found out so clearly, and even mentioned the word “Mongolia” five times. ...

I really don't know who is testing whom.
