Chapter 64: The Emperor's Worries
"Yes, Yesu is building "Shui Zhenla"! ”
The monk had no grace and slapped a dirty woman on the buttocks, and said to Yun Zheng with a smile: "Look at it, these women are the strongest women, and when we wait until next year, the Khmer people will usher in a large number of children, and the food we took away is enough for us to eat for several years, just to raise children." ”
Yun Zheng blinked his eyes and said, "You plan to give birth to an empire, don't you?" And not to fight an empire? ”
Yesu smiled and patted Yun Zheng's hand and said, "Why don't you understand?" Fighting is to kill people, and if the Khmer dies one, there will be one less, and having children is different, as long as one child is born, we have one more.
The war and resistance you are talking about only apply to you Song people, not to us Khmer people, the rainforest is very large, enough for us to inhabit, I have found a problem since I got along with you Song people during this time, this is a fatal problem, I found that the gap between the Khmer and the Song people is too big, you can send out huge thunder and lightning, you can destroy the city wall lightly, you can easily break through the impregnable city for us.
Yun Zheng, believe me, my choice is the best for my people, we need sharp weapons, we need precious food and women, we only don't want those golden things, those things are more terrible than poison for us, if we don't accumulate population, don't accumulate food, only know the accumulation of gold and silver treasures, the end of the Khmer will come, even if you Song people think that we are friends and don't come to rob us, there will always be other people who will rob us. ”
Yun Zheng arched his hand in admiration and said: "We Song people have a very apt sentence to describe what you said, which is called the sin of Huaibi. The elephant died because of the ivory, the fox died because of the skin, great ah Yesuo, you are a real wise man, a sage, a large population, only know self-improvement. I don't know that sooner or later the nation that has accumulated wealth will establish its own kingdom, I solemnly invite you to come to the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo City at a convenient time, and I will welcome you wholeheartedly. My friend. ”
Yesu also put his hand on his chest and said, "I will definitely go to the city of Tokyo, you said that it is the largest and most prosperous city in the world, I have always wanted to see it, I want to see how splendid and prosperous the city you are talking about." ”
"You won't be disappointed, you won't." It was only at this moment that Yun Zheng completely understood why Ye Su was a wise man, and he won respect for himself for his actions and these words today.
The ant-like movement continues, and the 200 miles of road between the dense forests of Thang Long City Road are full of cars and horses day and night. The captured Jiaozhi soldiers carried goods day and night into the dense forest,
When the Song people conquered Houshu, the army of goods and goods lasted for two years, and those fortunes supported the southern and northern expeditions in the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, because of the support of so many goods. The Great Song Dynasty was able to quickly come out of the shadow of the failure of Taizong's Northern Expedition, and now, the breakthrough of Shenglong Mansion will be a different appearance, and I believe that Tokyo City will not be quiet at this time.
Zhao Zhen stood on the highest tall building with the child in his arms and looked at the south attentively, and his mind was still recalling what Pang Ji said to him today: "Your Majesty, if Dali Kingdom and Shenglong City can be attacked as they wish." The number of years for my Great Song to recuperate will be greatly shortened.
War is a consumption of money and food, but it is also the fastest means of accumulating money, Di Qing there three victories a day, Gao Zhisheng has been defeated and retreated, within half a month, Gao Zhisheng's land in the east of Dali will be all in the bag of the Great Song Dynasty. Once Jianchang Mansion, Huichang Mansion, and Dongchuan County fall into the hands of our country, the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty copper politics will be immediately resolved, especially Huichang Mansion, which is rich in copper. My Great Song Dynasty copper coins have an incomparable charm, as long as you can make exquisite copper coins, you can buy horses from Liao and Qingtang, and buy silver ingots from the Wa Kingdom, so this battle can not be lost, when sending troops out of the Dousha Pass, it is the best policy to quickly attack Jianchang Mansion. ”
"Aiqing, I know the importance of Di Qing's attack on Dali, since Dali is important, isn't it important for Yun Zheng to break through Shenglong City? Why only say Dali country, not Jiaozhi! ”
"Your Majesty, Yun Zheng's battle of Jiaozhi has many twists and turns, it is not a matter of time and a half to succeed, Wu Shengjun wants to break through Shenglong City, as far as the old minister knows, Shenglong City is high and deep, and Li Dezheng can be called a generation of heroes, by no means Duan Silian and Gao Zhisheng's generation can be compared, plus, Guangyuan Prefecture is opposite Li Rizun's army of 80,000, Yun Zheng has not yet come to the news of fighting with Li Rizun, I'm afraid he has seen the difficulties, felt that the attack was hopeless, and then chose to stick to Wuchao City and drag Li Rizun's army, so that he did not dare to reinforce Gao Zhisheng, in the eyes of the old minister, this is the real best policy, and it is also a wise move. ”
Zhao Xu's little hand grabbed the emperor's beard again, and a sharp pain woke the emperor up, smiled and kissed his son, and handed him over to the queen and concubine, and he looked at the south again and sighed.
"Your Majesty, why worry, now the border passes in the north are calm, and the border passes in the south are frequently reported, this is already a rare auspicious blessing for many years, what else are you not satisfied with." The queen put on a big coat for the emperor and comforted him warmly.
Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile and said: "It's me who is greedy, in the past, when Di Qing and Yun Qing led the army to attack the south, I only thought that they could exterminate Nong Zhigao is the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, and now Nong Zhigao's skeleton and the head of the Huang traitor have been displayed in my martial arts hall, it can be said that my wish has been achieved, and now Di Qing is even more tireless, and the army of Di Qing has worked tirelessly to conquer the barbarians to open up the territory for my Great Song Dynasty, which is about to give me the biggest surprise, Yun Qing has to guard against the plague on the side of Wuchao City, On the one hand, he still has to drag Li Rizun's 80,000 army to the death, and it is rare for him to be able to maintain such a situation until now, and I really shouldn't ask for more. ”
The queen helped the emperor to sit on the soft couch and said softly: "My Great Song Dynasty finally produced two famous generals, an old man and a young man, this is the blessing of His Majesty, at least the border pass has not been available for thirty years." ”
Zhao Zhen heard the queen say this, and immediately said with a gloomy face: "Yun Zheng plans to abandon martial arts and follow the literature, or he doesn't plan to stay in the army all the time, the reason why he entered the army to become the commander is because Zhang Fangping forced him in, and he is going to participate in this autumn's talent ceremony." ”
The queen's eyes widened and said: "He is already a direct bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, what kind of scientific examination has he participated in, how can I have a university scholar lock hall exam since the founding of the country?" ”
Concubine Shu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister doesn't know, this Yun Zheng, in the early years when he was still a small bookkeeper in Shuzhong, he let out wild words, saying that sooner or later he would be called by Donghuamen, and now he relies on military merits to become a straight bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, which may be a kind of praise and glory for others, and it may be a burden for him. ”
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "Does Concubine Ai think that Yun Qing must be able to roll call in Donghua Gate?" If not, wouldn't it be ridiculous to the world? He is busy with military affairs now, and Li Rizun's army of 80,000 is probably enough to make him anxious, so how can he leave time to read his book? ”
Concubine Shu continued: "That person is a madman, but what people do is outstanding, doing business can make the Yun family from penniless to rich in Shu, doing knowledge can make Mr. Peng Li accept the door without hesitation, begging for his wife is the best woman in Shu, not only does not cost money, but also let the Lu family accompany ten miles of red makeup, not to mention the ability to fight the army, it is said that even the general chef of the way of cooking is beyond the reach of the dust, the concubine dares to bet with you, this big than he participated." ”
The queen frowned and said, "Why did our Great Song come up with such a treasure!" The concubine really wanted to meet, if he really took the exam, if he didn't succeed, His Majesty still had to give him a top three, otherwise Da Song's face would be lost by him. ”
Zhao Zhen also frowned silently, and suddenly remembered something and said: "Mr. Peng Li has entered Beijing, and it is said that he also brought his three disciples, one of them is Yun Zheng's younger brother Yun Yue, and two are Su brothers, it is said that these three people have won the name of "prodigy" in Tokyo City, I have no time to meet now, if the queen has time, she will help me take the school examination for these three little teenagers and touch the roots of the Yun family." But let's say it first, don't take the school entrance examination for arithmetic, Si Tianjian Huang Weicheng lost to Yun Yue in arithmetic, you still take the school for them some other things, I don't believe that his Yun family is full of demons. ”
"I'm afraid that people are already demons, Si Tianjian and Huang Weicheng are not opponents, and they have already put the name of demons on their heads, after all, arithmetic is also learning, isn't it? How can you call a concubine to take the school examination for such a person, unless you can get Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang, the two prodigies in the early years, to take the school, the concubine body will not succeed. ”
The Empress laughed and gave the Emperor a suggestion, which she thought was very interesting.
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and laughed, isn't it, Huang Weicheng has become a stepping stone for others, and now those three boys have become famous in the capital, and the queen's question may be really difficult for others, but the three children who went to the school with Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang are still a bit of a fuss.
"You and Concubine Shu are discussing the question, but you really can't take the exam, it's not too late to go to Guozijian to find Sima Guang and Ouyang Xiu."
The three of them were discussing how to take the school entrance examination for the three little teenagers in Shu, Zou Tong hurriedly walked up to the stargazing tower with a letter in his hand, Zhao Zhen glanced at it, and found that it was one red and three blue eight hundred miles expedited.
Immediately took it, checked the fire paint, and then picked up the seal with a knife, and after a hurried glance, his face changed greatly, and he sat on the chair and said in despair: "Yun Zheng actually bypassed Li Rizun's army and really went to attack Shenglong City." ”
