As an emperor, it is rare to know what kind of character he is.

The dashing Emperor Daojun of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, is a man who is artistic to the bone among the ancient and modern emperors, but he also had a dream of super-Han martial arts and Tang Zong, thinking that he can be a son of heaven who is both civil and military, and expands the territory. Therefore, he appointed the eunuch Tong Guan to conquer the Western Xia, and he didn't care about making the world noisy, even if he only got one state and half a government, it was enough to make him complacent.

Two years ago, the Yan man Li Liangsi (formerly known as Ma Zhi) came back and told that the Jurchens raised troops to attack Liao, and the Khitans were defeated and retreated, and offered a strategy to attack Daliao and recover Yanyun!

It's worth it! Recovering Yanyun is a long-cherished wish of emperors from Taizu Taizong onwards! If you can overcome it in your own hands, the Danqing of the book will be a great event for eternity! Although he seeks immortality and hopes to become an immortal, these are ethereal after all. If there is a text in the future nickname, or a martial character of mighty and powerful virtue, or a word of Huan that is far away, then he Zhao Ji can also go to see the ancestors and ancestors with his head held high.

Therefore, regardless of the opposition of Dazai Zheng Juzhong, he praised Li Lianghe, gave him the surname Zhao, and granted the court to invite a doctor and a secret pavilion to wait for the edict. Due to the difficulty of land routes, some ministers proposed to communicate with the Jurchens by sea. At first, the imperial court indirectly appointed the Huang family to find out the news, and later the Ouyang family was also ready to get involved after getting the news. Ouyang Shi was originally very interested in this matter, but Yang Yingqi thought that the time was not yet ripe, so he simply suppressed this matter.

After the opening of the port of Tianjin, most of the sea ships from Quanzhou, Mingzhou and other places were smuggling, but since the imperial court paid close attention to Liaodong, it knew more or less about the affairs of Jinmen. At that time, it was already winter, but the emperor was in a hurry, and he didn't care about the wrong direction of the wind and the difficulty of the sea route, so he urged the Jurchens to ask him. Fortunately, at this time, Huang Lu, a merchant in Quanzhou, informed the officials in charge of the matter: choose a day with little wind and waves to enter the sea from Dengzhou (the eastern half of the Shandong Peninsula), and go north along the islands of Shamen, Huoji, and Wuhu, and may be able to reach Jinmen. The imperial court immediately ordered the governor of Dengzhou to handle the matter. Wang Shizhong recommended Ma Zheng, a Qingzhou official, and held the imperial court's edict of the city horse, and sent the Jurchen.

The straight-line distance between the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula is extremely short, and if it is a tailwind, it will take half a day to arrive. However, in winter, the north wind is strong, and it is difficult for ships to reach the North Pole. Fortunately, there are Huang family out of the boat out of the front to lead the way, island by island north, no wind and no waves then swaying, crosswind oblique with small sails, north wind in front of the island to avoid the shore of the island, the balance folding sail technology to use the magic of the hand, not long into the Tianjin Gate.

At this time, the peak trading season of Jinmen had not yet arrived, but the merchants from the north had begun to grab the territory, and the men left by the merchants from the south last year were also busy preparing to receive the ships from the south.

In fact, Yang Yingqi's promotion was indispensable in the visit of the Great Song Dynasty's secret envoy, so Yang Yingqi knew that Ma Zheng had just entered Hong Kong on this day. The Huang family's family reported Ma Zheng's official position and origin to Yang Yingqi's document, and this document came to report to Yang Yingqi overnight. I can't come forward. ”

Yang Pu said: "Then I'll talk to him." ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Yang Pu asked again: "How to grasp the square inch in the meantime?" ”

Yang Yingqi muttered: "The military affairs are put on hold for the time being, but there are two important things: the first is to open the border and allow Quanzhou and Mingzhou merchant ships to go north. Last year, the merchant ships of the Lin family, the Huang family, and the Ouyang family went north, and they all used ships to Goryeo and Japan to hide people's eyes, which was not a long-term strategy. We have to find a way to make the businessmen who come to make money feel more at ease. If the Great Song Dynasty could agree to resume the trade route from Dengzhou to Jinmen, the goods from Jinmen would be able to reach Bianjing within a month in the tailwind season! We're going to have to at least double our business! Since Da Song wants to get along with us, it shouldn't be difficult to do this. The second is the question of the status of the two countries. I heard Huang Jing say that the imperial court had a dispute over the etiquette specifications of the envoy Jurchen, which is a major event symbolizing the status of the two countries, and it should not be ignored. If the lord of the Jin State is only a border chief in the exchanges between the two countries, then what status do these 'great generals' and 'seven generals' of our Han Department have? And it is impossible for Huining to agree. ”

Yang Pu said: "What if they ask to meet the lord of the country? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "You prevaricate first, and see what their national letter says." They're already in the urn, so we don't need to worry. ”

Yang Pu pondered in private, and understood what Yang Yingqi meant, so he was not in a hurry to see Ma Zheng. just let people spy on him, and implied that all parties in Tianjin should not contact him without authorization.

Ma Zheng was ordered to send an envoy this time, and before he went out, his family wept and sent him off, as if he would never return. Ma Zheng himself also felt that most of the people who died this time, thinking that the Khitan was already Hu Rong, not to mention the more remote Jurchen? Who knew that as soon as he entered the Tianjin Gate, he saw that the market was in order, and the pedestrians came and went, and the words and conversations were like the Great Song Dynasty, which almost made him think that he had come to the wrong place. But the Huang family's family insisted that this was the Jinmen in Dajin, which made him feel at ease.

At this time, there was no official connection between Song and Jin, so Ma Zheng didn't know how to connect with the officials of Jin for a while, so he had to live in the most decent inn in Jinmen under the arrangement of the Huang family.

He couldn't fall asleep this night, and suddenly heard someone next door reading the Book of Han, using Bianliang's elegant words. Ma Zheng was overjoyed, thinking that he had met thousands of miles and knew his old acquaintance, so he hurriedly came over to talk. After asking, I learned that the young man who read the "Book of Han" was a Confucian student from Liaoyang Mansion who came to study at the Guanning School in Jinmen.

Ma Zheng asked: "Does Jinmen also have a Confucian temple and a school?" ”

The Confucian said: "Naturally! Then he talked to him about the rules and regulations of Jinmen, but they were all slightly the same as those of the Great Song Dynasty.

Ma Zheng was relieved when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Since it is a state of etiquette, there is nothing to fear." "This time, the Great Song Dynasty sent him such a small and small official as an envoy, firstly, because the sea route was dangerous, and secondly, because he was afraid that the Jurchens would be unreasonable for the barbarians, so the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all afraid and regarded as a dangerous path.

Ma Zheng asked about the person with the highest official position in Jinmen, and the Confucian said: "The biggest in Jinmen is naturally the general of the Han Department of Dajin, and the capital of southern Liaoning, Yanchong!" General Zhe is my big golden horse, both close and expensive, and because of his great merits and the soil is sealed, this Fuzhou is actually the fief of General Zhe. However, General Zhe usually decides state affairs in the capital, and serves the holy driver, not in Jinmen. At present, the local government affairs of southern Liaoning are led by Yang Yingqi, the deputy governor of the capital. This Yang Deputy Dutong is the brother of General Zheda, and our people in Liaoyang Mansion generally call him the Seventh General or General Xiao Yang. ”

Ma Zhengqi said: "Seventh General or General Xiao Yang? What is the origin of this name? ”

The Confucian said: "Mr. Ma has just come from the Great Song Dynasty, so he doesn't know." Our general has six brothers with different surnames, all of whom are ministers of Daikin! The six of them imitated the story of Liu Guan and Zhang's friendship, with General Zhe as the elder and worshiped as brothers, and General Yang did seven, so they were called seven generals. Because General Yang Kaiyuan, who is the third of the seven brothers, is also surnamed Yang, so we, the flat-headed people, are obedient, so we call the third general to be General Da Yang, and the seventh general to be General Xiao Yang. ”

Ma Zhengdao: "I see. In this way, the most honorable person in Jinmen now is this General Xiao Yang. ”

The Confucian shook his head and said, "Speaking of officials, now Liaonan is naturally headed by General Xiao Yang. But when it is the turn of honor, there is another person in Jinmen who is more respectful and noble. ”

Ma Zhengqi said: "Didn't you say that General Zhe dealt with state affairs in the capital? How can there be a more noble person? ”

The Confucian smiled and said, "Mr. Ma is not careful!" Didn't Fang just say that General Zhe is Dajin's colt? This is the fiefdom of General Zhe, and Her Royal Highness the princess Luan Jia is naturally here! ”

Ma Zheng laughed when he heard it: "It was my negligence!" ”
