Archery of Gongshou Rivers and Mountains

Before, Wanyan Kang thought that the contact with the future emperor had been severed, but who would have thought that a few days after he came back with the fleet, he received a letter from Chen Xun.However, even if they got along pretty well with Chen Xun, the letters written by literati these days are not something that a future highly educated like Wan Yankang can understand today's semi-literate...

However, with Ouyang Ke's help, there would be no trouble in this matter.It turned out that Chen Xun beat around the bush and said that an old friend and noble person wanted to meet him.At first, Wanyan Kang thought that this person might be Shi Miyuan. After all, although Chen Xun's current official position is not high, there are really few people who can be called nobles by him.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Lin'an, the people who wanted to see him were actually Zhao Yuju.

The reason turned out to be Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Wan Yankang and Zhao Yuju talked about before.The posthumous title of Wu has many meanings: strong and straightforward, powerful against morality, overcoming disasters, overcoming punishment and people, boasting about how poor one is, and so on.And no matter what the person who gave Emperor Wu this posthumous title thought, people nowadays have two understandings of the word Wu.

Warriors and a small number of literati believe that this is because Emperor Wu made great martial arts, expanding the territory and recovering the lost land, which shocked the barbarians.But there are still a large number of literati who think that this means that he was militaristic. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did most of the things that Qin Shihuang did, and he did a lot of things that Qin Shihuang did not do, but he was lucky and did not perish.

After talking with Wan Yankang, Zhao Yuju suddenly became interested in Emperor Wu of the Han for some reason. He had naturally read history before and knew about Emperor Wu, but he only knew about it.He never thought that he had anything to do with the emperor, and even, in his understanding, Emperor Wu was also a tyrant.

But suddenly, he found that being a "Song Wu Emperor" had a strong attraction for him, definitely much more attractive than being Huizong—although this is somewhat disrespectful to his ancestors.

But at the same time, unfortunately, the literati around him, including Zheng Qingzhi, the teacher Shi Miyuan had found for him and a great contemporary Confucian, obviously didn't have a good impression of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.In fact, it is no wonder that since the beginning of the founding of the country, the Song Kingdom has been surrounded and beaten by the three powerful foreign tribes of Liao, Xixia, and Jin. It cannot be said that there is no victory on the battlefield, but every time it relies on money to maintain peace.Especially with Liao and Jin, Suibi has brought them hundreds and decades of peace.

For civil servants, it doesn't matter if an emperor has more interests and hobbies, but he must not be martial, and he must not be so impulsive, warlike will die.

Zhao and Ju just showed a little intention, but they were overwhelmed by the truth.He knew these truths when he was still in the country, and even at that time he agreed with them, but now he listens to these great Confucianists who are much more famous than his private school teachers, he doesn't know why, but he is more and more helpless. agreed.

However, if you don't agree, you don't agree. Zhao and Ju still know that they can't fight openly, so when they are taught face to face, they naturally say yes, but after being taught, he naturally does not give up.But including those waiters and even his own brother, Zhao Yuju didn't find anyone who could have a deep talk with him.

As a result, he naturally thought of Wanyan Kang, but he had no choice but to hear that Wanyan Kang had gone south to run a boat. It is conceivable that Zhao and Ju were full of worries and no one said it, and it was uncomfortable enough to be suffocated.

After going to sea for a year, Wan Yankang finally came back, and Zhao Yuju almost couldn't wait to find him.However, the second meeting between the two shocked Wanyan Kang - in fact, the previous conversation had already scared him once.After all, his ostensible identity is the eldest son of the Prince of the Kingdom of Jin. Even though he is now a hairless phoenix, the blood feud between the two countries is still there.The Jin Ridun that Zhao Yuju exemplified could change from the prince of the Huns to an official slave, and then became one of the nine ministers of the Han Dynasty, and finally even one of the imperial ministers left after the death of Emperor Wu.

But the situation is different. The Xiongnu were robbers to the Han, and at most they were more lethal. The Xiongnu did not occupy much of the land of the Han, nor did they kill the emperor of the Han.

To give a somewhat inappropriate example, later generations Wanyan Kang absolutely did not believe that the princes of the neighboring country to the east were good-neighborly and friendly people, no matter how nice they sang.

Wanyan Kang could only sigh helplessly from the bottom of his heart, the future emperor was too good-hearted, broad-minded and tolerant of foreigners, but he was not so tolerant.If you want to emulate the Han and Tang Dynasties, you must also understand that the Han and Tang Dynasties tolerated foreigners based on their own strength, and the Southern Song Dynasty now has nothing but money, so how can they easily trust foreigners—even if this foreigner is Wanyan Kang himself.

Not only that, after getting along for a long time, Wan Yankang also discovered a problem with Zhao Yuju, a problem that was completely opposite to his younger brother Zhao Yurui.

Zhao Yurui was too active and lively when he was in the country, but considering his status and status at that time, he should be called restless in his duties. When he grows up, he will either become a big deal or become a ruined family.But now, although he can't be Jackie Chan, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he has acquired quite a lot of wealth. If Zhao Yuju succeeds in becoming a prince, Zhao Yurui is also indispensable for the status of a prince.

As a result, his past personality unexpectedly adapts to the current status change abnormally, making Zhao Yurui an upstart in Lin'an, and he is like a fish in water. With his lively personality, it is easy to find a group of young friends.

As for Zhao Yuju, his character is calm and generous, kind and open-minded, and can even be said to be a little soft.This was a good thing for him in the past, allowing him to live his life as an ordinary person in peace.Shi Miyuan also took a fancy to him and supported him to ascend the throne.But if he becomes an emperor, or an emperor in troubled times, his character is not suitable for his identity—at least Wanyan Kang thinks it is not suitable. Wasn't it the same character before enthronement?

However, Zhao and Ju are still very young, full of drive and desire for the future.Although Wanyankang has never studied education, but he has led soldiers, he still knows how to guide young people.

And if Zhao Yuju hadn't met Wanyankang, it's likely that his ambition would have been worn away by the voices of civil servants shouting "Your Majesty be careful", but he happened to meet Wanyankang, and he had someone who could Let him express the oppression in his chest and talk freely about the companion he thinks about.As a result, although the flames could not be said to have turned into a prairie fire, they did burn more and more vigorously.

"Fleet matters." Wanyan Kang sighed, "There are always things that are not as expected."

After watching Yan Kang frown, Zhao Yuju admired him, not counting the several in-depth talks in the past two years, since the first meeting, he had admired him very much.Although the practice of the Song Dynasty is to love literature and hate martial arts, but that day Wan Yankang led a few fierce soldiers to chase and kill aliens—even though it was later discovered that both sides were aliens. Prestige.

At least they are much more majestic than those literati who shake their fans all day long, put on paint and paint, and have strange yin and yang vibes.

He came to the Southern Song Dynasty alone, and was seriously injured when he came. Now he can be said to be self-made, although he is only a low-ranking maritime merchant.But in any case, it is also a family business.

Therefore, if it was said that he invited Wanyan Kang to be an official in the imperial court that day in order to repay his kindness, now after these few years, this idea has not only not been extinguished, but has become more and more intense.But he won't make any more wishes, now that he doesn't have that ability, and he doesn't want to deceive Wan Yankang, naturally he can't say more.Just wait for the day when he is really capable, let's talk.

Wan Yankang stood up from behind the desk, and was about to invite Zhao Yuju to sit down and talk, when suddenly the door of the study opened.A guard following Zhao and Ju stood outside.

"Unreasonable!" Zhao Yuju glared at him angrily. He came to see Wanyan Kang with no followers. He never expected that someone would barge in like this.

"Your Highness, Xianggong... go home quickly!" The guard didn't have time to say anything, and even stepped over to Zhao Yuju's side in a few or two steps that became more impolite. If he didn't still remember his identity, he might reach out and grab him and run away .

Wan Yankang and Zhao Yuju's expressions changed at the same time, not because they remembered what happened to Shi Miyuan, but because they both knew that something happened to the emperor—the emperor has been in poor health for the past few days, but how is it? It is true that no one knows about it, but Shi Miyuan has been accompanying him in the palace all the time.

Zhao and Ju stopped talking, bowed their hands to Wanyan Kang, and went out immediately.The guard was about to follow, but suddenly remembered something, turned to Wanyan Kang and said: "Young Master Wanyan, please stay in the mansion these few days."

"Naturally I wake up." Wan Yankang nodded. The original prince, Zhao Mian, was abolished as the prince last year, but he was still the prince, and the emperor was still very close to him. Now that I think about it, it's probably because Shi Miyuan wanted to borrow The emperor died to make a fuss.Wanyan Kang would not run around and cause trouble for himself at this time.

Those who should leave have all left. Wanyankang is thinking about what to do with the affairs of the Kingdom of Jin and what will happen to the affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty.Suddenly a gust of wind blew behind him, and someone hugged his waist.

"What's wrong?" Wanyan Kang asked helplessly as he patted the hand on his waist.

"..." There was no answer, and the hand tightened even more.

"Jealous?"

"So you know."

"Ouyang, I will leave the affairs here to you in a few days."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm going to Xiangyang first, to find my father, and then...maybe I'll go back to the Kingdom of Jin."

"No!" Ouyang Ke rested his head on Wanyan Kang's shoulder, and Wanyan Kang's shoulder ached with his pointed chin.

"Don't worry, it will take at least half a year to go."

"Didn't you hear me say no?" Ouyang Ke bit Wanyan Kang's earlobe, the pain was probably blood.Wanyan Kang was really a little afraid that he would bite his "ear piercing" out, but he didn't struggle.After all, Ouyang Ke and him have been inseparable for the past few years, but they have suffered a lot.

"Ouyang, I only trust you with the affairs of this place. And at the critical moment, I need the boat here to save my life. Naturally, I only trust my life in your hands."

The mouth biting Wanyan Kang's earlobe loosened, and his soft tongue gently licked the wound bitten out by him. Ouyang Ke admitted helplessly that he had fallen into his hands in this life. Who made him fall in love with him for the first half of his life? Too much debt?

"I'll stay, but tonight~"

"You... don't hurt anymore?"

"Who said I would lose today?!"

"You are brave enough to go into battle with injuries. If you lose, don't blame me for taking advantage of others."

"You are showing off your tongue, I will not be provoked by your aggressive method."

"Heh~heh~heh~" Wanyan Kang smiled strangely, noncommittal.As for the outcome of the night, Ouyang Ke's walking became weirder the next day.

And this day is also the day when Zhao Kuo, the fourth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, passed away, and the fifth emperor Zhao Yun (Zhao Yuju) was ordered to succeed him.
