Neighbors with powerful ministers

The eldest princess and Xie Jie said to each other: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Then, the two were stunned by each other's words, and said in unison: "What are you apologizing for?"

"I shouldn't have quarreled with you." x2.

The mother and son looked at each other and looked at each other until they couldn't help laughing because they felt that they and each other were so stupid.Crying loudly, laughing loudly, a pair of neuropathy.

Fang Chaoci stood outside the door, listening to the movement inside the door, he could only look up at the moon speechlessly, pretending that he never existed.

In Jiangzuo in winter, it was so cold that Fang Chaoci questioned his life a bit.No matter how good the sable fur is, it can't warm the coldness when he realized that he was really forgotten by his partner outside the door.

There are rumors in the room next to Tianshi that the dog's legs are abnormal: 【Need me to remind you? 】

【Need not! 】Fang Chaoci couldn't tell whether it was due to his dignity or his final stubbornness.

……

A few more days have passed, and the New Year's Eve is approaching for many days, this time it is really approaching.No matter which dynasty or generation it is, Chinese New Year is the most lively, solemn, and elaborate festival of the year. There are activities and arrangements every day, and you can go all the way from Laba to Shangyuan, from the end of the year to the beginning of the year. Sing joyously, sing music, never stop.

But this year's grand opening is a bit special. The common people will live their new year as they should, but the atmosphere above the court is becoming more serious day by day, and there is no relaxation and joy of the upcoming new year at all.

It is understandable that no one is happy:

The counterattack of the peace faction failed to cause much waves, which was completely different from their expectations.

The war faction has the absolute upper hand, wishing they could cross the Yangtze River and fight to the north in the next moment, they always feel that every day in the court is like a year.

In short, this battle is settled, and every courtier knows it very well.This is a big battle related to the fate of the country.If you win, you can go back to Yongji for the New Year in the future; if you lose, you may even lose Jiangzuo.

Everyone has experienced a mentality similar to "gambling" more or less in their past lives, and someone once said that this time the whole boat is a big gamble.But when they really bet on the world, they were far less calm than they imagined.

But the battle still has to be fought, and this is not just the queen's intention.It is the meaning of all the generation of Chinese who miss their homeland. Our country cannot be divided, our country cannot be invaded, and our country is our country.

The eldest princess still remembers that in her previous life, Daqi had gone to the Northern Expedition, never to forget the capital, and the people who were ravaged by barbarians in the north, sticking to their beliefs, waiting for them on the other side of the Yangtze River to fight back.

This was told to the Eldest Princess by a famous poet in later generations, and the poet should have just been born now.

He was born in the fallen north, in a not-so-good year and in a not-so-good homeland. He was already a generation under the rule of the barbarians.But since he was a child, his grandfather has repeatedly taken him to look in the direction of Jiangzuo, telling him that we are Qi people, our emperor is there, and our army is there.The place where we live used to belong to Daqi, but now the barbarians only occupy it temporarily, and sooner or later, this place will return to Daqi's embrace.If no one in the court can do it, you have to do it.

Later, the poet abandoned his pen and joined the army, resisting barbarism and returning to Qi, but in the end his ambition was unrewarding.He has been running around for the Northern Expedition all his life, even though he knows that he is powerless, he is unwilling to give up.Occasionally he would also compose poems, in which he only wished to wear armor and fight barbarians.

Finally, the poet passed away with full of regret.

In this life, the Eldest Princess only hopes to regain the lost ground before the poet is sensible, and let his talents of splendid articles be used on some more beautiful and comfortable things.Like her husband, don't be tormented by war and hardship.

But the world is so magical.Some people still have to fight hard even if they know that there is nothing they can do, while others have chosen to give up when they still have hope.

Master Li Shan of Baozhuo Academy was still unwilling to give up the Lord's peace, and personally handed over the invitation card, wanting to enter the palace to face the saint.

But the empress didn't want to face this old man with a foolish brain alone. She thought with Shenzong's head, and she could guess what Li Shanchang was about to say, and she didn't want to hear it at all.

But it's not enough to completely reject the other party. After all, Li Shanzhang is also a great Confucian with the same reputation as Chen Lao, and the news that he is going to face the saint has already spread among the scholars.The empress refused to see Li Shanzhang, and the one who lost face was definitely not the old man Li who came uninvited, but the empress who would be quickly labeled as disrespecting scholars.

In the end, it was Mr. Chen who offered a plan and expressed his willingness to sit in front of the imperial court with Mr. Li and have a discussion, which solved the empress' urgent need.

Thus, the chattering in front of the saint turned into [-] outstanding students from each faction of Moxun Academy and Baozhuo Academy, chatting with each other in front of the queen.

Not only relieved the Queen's siege, but also respected Li Shanzhang enough, and most importantly, gave some poor students who had not yet taken the imperial examination another shortcut to face the holy road.Even a student from an aristocratic family would not want to miss this opportunity to express himself in front of the imperial court ahead of time.Because not only the queen will be there, but the crown prince Wen Yin will also be there.

Because of this, as soon as Mr. Chen's proposal was made, it was widely welcomed. Even the people on Li Shanzhang's side agreed very much. I don't know how to "reciprocate".

In the end, even Tai students stepped on their feet. As a government-run organization, they must not be left behind.

So it was finally decided that three colleges, each with [-] students, plus their own teachers, could enter the palace and debate in front of the queen.Such a grand event should have been prepared for a long time, planned hard, and invited celebrities from all walks of life to watch the ceremony.However, due to time constraints and the Queen's character of advocating honesty and integrity, everything was really kept simple with the word of mouth.

No one dares to complain yet, the queen even canceled her coronation ceremony, do you dare to compare with the queen?

No minister even dared to say in front of the queen that "rituals cannot be broken", because once someone said it, the queen would dare to scare the other party to death with a lot of astronomical financial problems.

Diligence and thrift in housekeeping is a characteristic of the queen that was not well-known before, but must be remembered in the future.

Sometimes the queen is so harsh on herself that the eldest princess can't stand it anymore. Although the eldest princess is not the kind of enjoyment, she is somewhat indulgent. Otherwise, her younger brother Panzi and son Xie Jie would not develop that kind of behavior. The dandy character who spends money like water.

"People only live this life, and the money you save can't be enjoyed by yourself, so why bother?"

"I save money not for my own enjoyment, but for military expenses." Daqi has high income and high consumption, which is not only reflected in ordinary people, but also in the imperial court. No worries. Every penny saved is for the sake of being more comfortable on the battlefield in the future. If my side runs out of food, what will happen to the girl on the battlefield? May I give you an ultimatum?"

The ultimatum is the "business license" of the monk.

In Daqi, only if the state allows you to become a monk, you are a monk recognized by the state and can hold a certificate to work.If there is no ultimatum, it is only a person who is still practicing and cannot enjoy the treatment that a monk should have.

Therefore, when there is a demand, there is also a market, and the duo was successfully commercialized and flowed into the market.

This is something that has existed since the Tang Dynasty.

Daqi was also unable to change this situation, but the imperial court still had to suppress the control of the privileged class of monks. It is similar to a place with a hundred monks before one person can be ordained, which is even more difficult than the imperial examination.

The imperial court was not reconciled to the outflow of such a large amount of income, so it simply gave full play to its strengths and once again nationalized the profitable business.Led by the imperial court, the sale of real money and silver.Among the "small deals" that Empress Dowager Su led Xie Jie to do, there was a transaction certificate.

It's a pity that this still can't curb the crazy speculation of empty-name Duyi. In the empress's time, the official price of a Duyi was 100 guan (about [-] million yuan).

The statement of using the degree of capital comes from a time when Emperor Wen and Xie Jie lived alone.

Xie Jie was still young at that time, it was not that he had never been exposed to gambling, but he was subdued by Emperor Wen with one move.Emperor Wen coaxed Xie Jie to gamble with him, but it was not enough for Xie Jie to gamble with all his belongings.In the end, Xie Jie also realized the truth of ten bets and nine losers, and swore to the sky that he would never gamble again, but Emperor Wen still asked him for money. No, I still have two hundred ultimatums at home, and I'll give them to you!

The empress remembers today, thinks of it once, laughs once, and always thinks that cousin Xie Jie is interesting.

The eldest princess also thought of this past, and all of them sighed with emotion: "It's better to be taught by my son."

The topic ended abruptly like this.When it comes to Emperor Wen, people are always speechless.

***

At the same time, in Li Shan's family, he saw the gold and silver that someone had secretly sent to his villa through his concubine.

"What do you mean?" Li Shanchang called his concubine and his younger brother.

"A little support." The concubine's younger brother couldn't be more flattering, but also with inexplicable bewitchment, "Who doesn't know the name of brother-in-law? Fang Chaoci and his like are just messing around, how can they understand brother-in-law? You are dedicated to the public? It’s just a show of courage. The people with lofty ideals and I were deeply saddened when we heard it, and we were afraid that my brother-in-law would be inconvenient, so I sent a small gift, which is not a respect. I just hope that my brother-in-law can turn around.”

Li Shanchang looked at the boxes of yellow and white things in front of him, and then looked at his wife and brother who didn't know whether they were like this or they became like this later. He didn't say anything, but let the gold and silver be taken away silently, and then He took his concubine back to the real place where he stayed.

Just when Yansheng came to see him.

Through participating in the court speech, Yan Sheng caught up with Li Shanchang's line, and now he can be regarded as both a teacher and a friend, and the relationship is excellent.

Li Shanchang asked the concubine to go back to the backyard first, and then he recruited Yan Sheng, and asked him one thing straight to the point: "Tell me the truth, do you think this time is a war, a peace?"

Logically speaking, Yan Sheng should follow Li Shanchang's words, so as to win the trust of the old man and further find out who is behind the scenes of the Lord Harmony faction.Although the Zhuhe faction seems to look forward to Li Shanzhang's leadership, they don't need Yan Sheng's observation to know that Li Shanzhang simply cannot support the ability to harm the country and the people.

Therefore, both Yan Sheng and Fang Chaoci, who are used to thinking too much, suspected that behind such a loose force, there should be someone who has not come out, subtly maintaining them.

But when Yan Sheng raised his head and looked at Li Shanzhang, his eyes were not looking for support and encouragement, but confusion.

The biggest difference between this life and the previous life is that at this time, even the Lord Peace faction is secretly thinking that maybe they still have a chance to turn things around.It's just that the Zhuhe faction feels that they should not be eager for success, and should not think about fighting back to Yongji now. If they want to win steadily, they should take a long-term plan.Because they really can't afford to lose.

Let's put it this way, the Zhuhe faction at this time has not been completely frightened by the beating. They also want to return to Yongji, and they are not willing to live in a corner.

After judging the situation, Yan Sheng finally decided to take a gamble. He said to Li Shan, "Who will be the happiest if there is no fight at this time?"

"Then let everyone have a good year."

Chinese people always have a kind of honey belief in the Chinese New Year, and they don't want to go to war during the Chinese New Year.

Yan Sheng replied to Li Shanchang with only one sentence: "The barbarians think so too."

Li Shanchang couldn't help thinking of the box after box of gold.So generous, so reckless.Li Shanzhang and his wife and uncle knew exactly who the gold came from.On the other hand, why did the barbarian give him a gift?Do good every day?No, absolutely impossible.All the savage wants is delay.Even their enemies want them to continue their dispute.

In other words, there is no next time for them, and this is the most suitable opportunity.

Li Shanchang saw off the guests in advance, locked himself in the study all night, tossed and turned, thinking about it, what is the right thing to do.Dawn broke, his eyes were bloodshot, and he finally made a decision.

The author has something to say: *The experience of the poet in the article is that Xin Qiji was born in an occupied area, but under the influence of his grandfather, he turned against the Kingdom of Jin and wanted to return to the Southern Song Dynasty.

*The ultimatum is worth military expenses, this is...historical truth _(:3∠)_It happened when Yue Fei was still alive, Song Gaozong couldn’t afford the military expenses, so he gave Yue Fei [-] ultimatums.It is estimated that Yue Fei's heart is also screwed up.
