After Emperor Ningzong saw that the table between Xin Ran and Zhao Yun, King of Yi, had been arranged, he said: "Today is the birthday of the prince, and all Aiqing and I will have a drink to add longevity to the prince." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

When everyone saw the emperor raise their glasses, they didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly got up, and said in unison: "I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a blessed life and a long life." ”

Seeing that the emperor personally congratulated himself with all the ministers on his birthday, the crown prince Zhao Hong hurriedly got up, bowed deeply to Emperor Ningzong, and said: "Erchen's birthday, tired of his father's coming, I really dare not be, Erchen once again congratulates his father long live, and the Great Song Dynasty is forever." ”

Emperor Ningzong said: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, you are the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and the etiquette should be like this." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and asked the prince Zhao Hong to sit down.

He also said: "I am here today, mainly to celebrate the birthday of the prince, and another thing is to read Xin Qiji's Aiqing's "Ten Treatises on Meiqin" in the imperial study last night, and it just so happened that Xin Qiji's son Aiqing's son also came to the palace, Xin Aiqing explained the "Ten Treatises" for me, and I really benefited a lot after listening to it, and I felt that this "Ten Treatises on Meiqin" was really a treasure book for governing the country. ”

When Emperor Ningzong said this, he turned around and asked the prince: "Prince, you are the prince of the country, what do you think of this "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin"?"

Seeing that Ning Zong asked him, the crown prince Zhao Hong hurriedly got up and said: "Father, the sons think that the rule of the country still depends on the teachings of the father, as for the "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin", the sons think that among the "Ten Treatises", the tenth treatise on "detailed warfare" has merit, and the other nine treatises are all empty talk of scholars, which is not advisable. ”

When Emperor Ningzong heard the prince say this, he asked, "Why does the prince think so?"

The crown prince Zhao Hong said: "Today, the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State face off from the north and south, the soldier is the first major thing in the country, and there is no meaning in saying anything else, and only the tenth theory of the "Ten Treatises on Meiqin" "Detailed War" talks about the strategy of sending troops to Jin, and it may have some reference significance for my Northern Expedition after the Great Song Dynasty, so Erchen thinks that only this theory is acceptable. ”

After listening to this, Emperor Ningzong didn't know whether it was okay or not, and said to Zhao Yun, the king of Yi: "King Yi, what do you think of this "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin". ”

Seeing that Emperor Ningzong asked him, Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, also hurriedly got up, saluted the emperor, and said: "Father, the son thinks that what the prince said just now is indeed reasonable, but the son is also a little different from His Royal Highness the prince. ”

When Emperor Ningzong heard King Yi say this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked, "What do you have to say, let me and the ministers listen to it?"

Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, replied: "Yes." ”

Then he said: Since my Great Song Dynasty moved south, only half of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River remained, but many good men of the Great Song Dynasty did not forget to serve the imperial court to recover the territory and return my old capital, so Lord Xin Qiji wrote this "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin", which stated that the "Ten Treatises" were the general policy of resisting Jin to save the country, recovering the lost land, and unifying China;

And these "Ten Theses" Reading carefully, in fact, it is closely related and indispensable, and relying on a certain theory alone is not enough to achieve things, so in Erchen's view, the first of these ten treatises, the second treatise on the situation, and the third on the provocation are the macro theories among the ten treatises, which are the foundation of these ten theories, and can be the long-term strategy of the Great Song Dynasty against the Jin State; the fourth treatise on autonomy, the fifth on Shouhuai, the sixth on Tuntian, the seventh on courage, the eighth on guarding against microaggressions, and the ninth on the law that long-term tenure can be for our Great Song Dynasty to strengthen the country and enrich the people; this tenth treatise on detailed warfare is the ultimate goal based on the first nine theories, that is, we must do a good job in the things mentioned in the first nine treatises, you can follow the strategy in the tenth treatise to launch a northern expedition against the Jin State and win the victory;

Therefore, Erchen believes that these "Ten Theses" are interlocking and indispensable, and they need to be used by politicians to carefully understand the essence of them, rather than using their forms. “

Listening to Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, said this, Emperor Ningzong smiled slightly, and seemed to agree with the opinion of Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, but did not make a conclusion about Zhao Yun's statement, but asked Xin Ran, who was sitting next to Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, and said: "Xin Aiqing, you and I also spoke freely about these ten theories last night, according to your opinion, who is better between the prince and Zhao Yun, the king of Yi?"

After all, it was the first time for Xin Ran to attend such an important occasion, and when he saw Emperor Ningzong suddenly ask himself, everyone was staring at him, slightly nervous.

At this time, Xin Ran suddenly heard Chen Ming, who was standing behind Chen Wenduan, say to himself with the kung fu of "transmitting sound like a secret": "Big brother, you don't have to be nervous, I see that the emperor admires you and your father very much, so you can just say it according to your own wishes." ”

After Xin Ran heard Chen Ming's comfort, he glanced at Chen Ming, only to see Chen Ming looking at him with a smile, as if he was encouraging himself, so his nervous heart calmed down slightly, and he also gave a deep salute to Emperor Ningzong, and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are shallow and ugly, if there is anything wrong with what you said, please forgive your Majesty." “

"Today's matter is a matter of facts, not people, Xin Aiqing, you don't have to be polite, just say it", Emperor Ningzong said with a smile.

Xin Ran saw the emperor say this, so he said: "These ten treatises are written by my late father who traveled the world in the past and combined with his own experience in managing the government. “

Only then did Emperor Ningzong say: "Xin Aiqing's words are deeply in line with my intentions. 、“

Seeing the emperor say this, everyone naturally echoed it, saying that Xin Ran and Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, were very knowledgeable.

The crown prince couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that his knowledge was not recognized by the emperor and everyone. got up and said: "The world of my Great Song Dynasty is the former Emperor Taizu with a dragon stick to fight out, if you want to go on a northern expedition in the future, let alone martial arts people who fight for the country on the battlefield, today is the birthday of the palace, and the palace will let the East Palace guard commander perform martial arts for everyone." ”

Seeing that the prince was going to let people perform martial arts, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan stood up and said with a smile: "Today is the prince's birthday, and the lower officials will also join in the fun, so how about letting the masters behind the official and the masters of the East Palace perform together?"

After speaking, he pointed to the sect master of the Tianxia Sect behind him.

The prince was already dissatisfied with Shi Miyuan, and was trying to make Shi Miyuan make a fool of himself, thinking: Wang Yongzhong, the commander of my East Palace Guard, is the eldest disciple of the head of Wudang, I'm afraid that the person you sent can't even block the three moves. Therefore, he immediately agreed to Shi Miyuan's request.

The two of them came to the middle of the living room, and the sect master of the Tianxia Sect said: "Commander Wang, today is the birthday of the crown prince, and it is not good to use weapons, you and I are better than the internal strength." “

Wang Yongzhong said: "This is very good. “

I saw Wang Yongzhong concentrating on his luck, and his palms went straight to the sect master of the Tianxia Sect, the sect master of the Tianxia Sect smiled slightly, and pasted Wang Yongzhong's palms with his palms.

The sect master of the Tianxia Sect smiled slightly and said, "The king has conceded. “

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Emperor Ningzong, and stood behind Shi Miyuan again.

At this time, only Xin Ran saw that the sect master of the Tianxia Sect had used the Shura Yin Feng Gong again, and this king commander could not resist this cold and poisonous internal force, so he suffered a big loss.

When the prince saw the situation, he also knew that Wang Yongzhong did not take advantage of it.

At this time, Emperor Ningzong saw that the prince did not have the upper hand in the two games of literature and martial arts today, and thought that today was the prince's birthday, and he couldn't embarrass the prince too much, so he asked everyone to raise a glass to celebrate the prince's birthday again, and then got up and went back to the palace.

After the emperor drove back to the palace, everyone said goodbye one after another after sending off the emperor.

Xin Ran was at the same table with Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, so he went out of the gate of the East Palace together, and then he was polite to each other, and after Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, got on the sedan chair, Xin Ran returned to the Chen Mansion with Chen Wenduan and Chen Ming.
