Compared with Brother Chun, who has gone crazy, the happiness of Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, is to listen to the prime minister and the queen tell him about the major events in the world every day, especially the news about Yun Zheng, he likes to listen to it the most.

With the efforts of the imperial doctor, his neck has been able to move, and he can use his head and shake his head to express his wishes, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all ecstatic about this change in the emperor, Concubine Shu has lived in the royal Taoist temple, to pray for the emperor for a hundred days, as long as the emperor gets better, she will be the biggest beneficiary.

The emperor was recuperating in meditation, and it was not appropriate to make noise in the hall, but Han Qi couldn't help but scold after seeing Yun Zheng's recital.

"Not the Son of Man, not the Son of Man! If it is peaceful today, the wind and rain should be resting, and the people will be rich, and the people will stop fighting, and when the people in the world are sufficient, when the Great Song Dynasty has a new surplus, it is a good time to expand the territory, and he is now persecuting the king of Dali What is he doing three times a day? Didn't he know why His Majesty wanted to sign an alliance with Liao? ”

Zhao Zhen didn't care what Han Qi yelled at, and looked at Zou Tong with a puzzled look.

Zou Tong said softly: "Our Great Song Dynasty's rangers have appeared on the grassland of western Yunnan, and the monarch of Dali believes that this is a precursor to the Great Song Dynasty's preparation to raise troops in Dali." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and closed his eyes again, Chen Lin recited Zhao Yang's secret recital to him earlier, the sentence "As a general, if you have no ambition for other people's territory, take off your military uniform as soon as possible and go to the circle of literati, and eat less in the army and wait for death." He was impressed by the words.

He thinks that there is nothing wrong with Yun Zheng doing this now, the general is the knife in the emperor's hand, and the knife is born to be used to cut and kill, and it is used to expand the territory. Yun Zheng is right, reasoning is the business of Song Shou of Honglu Temple, and appeasing Siyi is the matter of the prime minister, he is a general, and his mission is to obtain a greater living space for his own people. So now it is logical for him to enter western Yunnan.

Listening to Xiaolin said that Yun Zheng began to plan the western Yunnan grassland when he was a child, and now that the melons are ripe, how can there be any reason not to take it, is it possible to let the fertile grassland be taken away by the Tubo people on the plateau? Or was it taken away by the emperor of Dali? There is no reason for that, although the Great Song Dynasty said that there would be no war, but the alliance was signed with the Liao State. What is the matter with Dali?

Zhao Zhen was in a very happy mood, Han Qi might not be unable to see this clearly, he was just jealous, he was venting his feelings, he would slowly calm down.

Really. Han Qi's voice lowered, and with anger, he signed a few words on the fold and threw it to Zou Tong, and then strode out of the emperor's bedroom.

Zhao Zhen heard Han Qi's footsteps in the distance, a smile appeared on his face, and the queen said softly: "Your Majesty, the privy envoy signed his name on Yun Zheng's, and added one more sentence, saying, "Dare to provoke a side provoke at will." changed Yun Zheng to Lingnan to fight savages. ”

Pang Ji smiled when he heard this: "Zhigui is dizzy, and there is a Jiaozhi country in Lingnan that is now also a good situation of ripe melons, if Yunhou is sent to Lingnan." He may make another trip to Kyoto in the country of Cochin. ”

Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and laughed silently, so panicked that the queen hurriedly gently stroked his shoulder, worried that the emperor would be choked with saliva.

Seeing that the emperor was quiet, the queen beckoned to the crown prince Zhao Xu, who was sitting behind a low table, and Zhao Xu, who was wearing a nine-beam purple and gold crown, came to the emperor's side, held his father's hand and waited for instructions. This has been going on for a long time.

Zhao Zhen looked at his son with a smile, and the queen said, "Emperor." You have to remember today's recital, this recital was written by my great Song Wenxin Hou Yunzheng. This letter is not to tell you how to raise horses, but to tell you four words, "borrow a knife to kill people". ”

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" The young Zhao Xu knew that these were not four good words, but looking at his emperor father and queen mother, he didn't seem to be angry, and couldn't help but open his mouth to ask Pang Ji.

Pang Ji, who is also the crown prince's concubine, naturally has the responsibility of teaching the prince, and then said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, what the queen mother said is not wrong, that is, the words "borrowing a knife to kill".

If you want to say these four words, you have to start from eight years ago, when Wen Xinhou, who was still clothy, was dissatisfied with the harassment of Dousha Pass by the Yuanshan bandits in western Yunnan, he borrowed the power of the Tubo people to eliminate the Yuanshan bandits, and then Xiaolin went out to take advantage of the defeat of the Tubo people and the Yuanshan robbers, and shot the leader of the most powerful Tianying Department in the western Yunnan grassland at that time with a hidden arrow, thus leading the strength of the grassland to change greatly.

So the various forces on the grassland of western Yunnan began to fight each other, and everyone wanted the territory of the Eagle tribe, so, under the clever adjustment of my Great Song Dynasty, this war lasted for eight years, and now, the population of that grassland has been reduced from 800,000 in its heyday to less than 50,000 today. If you subtract the eight years of newborns, the 800,000 people on the grassland can almost be said to have died, and even the remaining 50,000 people, most of them are women and children who have no combat power.

If in the past, no matter how strong my Great Song Dynasty was, there was no way to deal with the 200,000 people who controlled the strings there, but under Wen Xinhou's strategy of "borrowing a knife to kill", the powerful strength of the western Yunnan grassland has been wiped out.

The four words "borrowing a knife to kill" are to tell you that when your strength is not good, you must know how to be flexible and use the strength of others to achieve your own goals.

Okay, this is your homework today, Zou Tong will find out all the documents about the western Yunnan grassland for His Royal Highness, and you will slowly find out how Wen Xinhou used the smallest force to pry the boulder of the western Yunnan grassland. ”

Zhao Xu nodded ignorantly, and was led to the seat by Gong E to sit down again, and obediently looked at the busy things in the room.

Pang Ji sighed and said to the emperor: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too young to understand these profound truths, and it is harmful and useless to instill these old ministers in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should study some simple arithmetic at this time, and should not listen to these intriguing state events. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at his son who was sitting down obediently and shook his head.

The queen touched the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "Your Majesty's time is running out, even if it is a seedling to grow, I can't take care of it, but I hope that the ancestors will bless Xu'er to grow up in one day." ”

Pang Ji said respectfully: "Your Majesty don't be impatient, step by step is the right reason, now my Great Song Dynasty song and dance is peaceful, it is a rare peaceful time since the founding of the country, as long as Your Majesty will carefully nourish the body, it will naturally cultivate a qualified heir."

If His Majesty is a dragon and a dragon, how prosperous my Great Song should be today, there are fierce generals who raze the four seas outside, and there are capable ministers who can shepherd the people inside......"

Speaking of this, Pang Ji was sad and speechless, the queen had already burst into tears, Zhao Zhen was also full of gloomy color, every word of Pang Ji's words was like a knife on his heart, if it weren't for this damn body, he would now be the most authoritative emperor in the Great Song Dynasty.

Zou Tong saw that the emperor had something to say, and hurriedly moved it here, and recorded what the emperor was going to say word by word.

When Pang Ji got the piece of paper, he saw that the words "universal celebration" were written on it.

Rubbing the astringent old eyes, he squeezed out a smile and said: "Since Your Majesty has a heart, the old minister will go to draw up the decree, and celebrate the Spring Festival all over the world this year!" Make a lively spring day. ”

Zhao Zhen squeezed out a smile and nodded repeatedly, seeing Pang Ji leave the palace and leaving the palace, he stared at the queen's face again.

Empress Cao wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "The palace will naturally be decorated with lights, the concubine will go to invite the concubine, and the concubine's sister should also come out of the Taoist temple, and we will also have a lively spring day."

This year's silver coin concubine body will be prepared more, the auspicious concubine body in the spring will also be distributed to the minister of civil and military affairs, the concubine body will also order the money bureau to mint some new money used in the spring, and the weaving bureau will also rush to double the production of colored satin, brocade, palace flowers, and the concubine body will also order the official kiln to re-fire a batch of new auspicious porcelain, but I don't know which kiln porcelain the official family likes?

You may not know that the official kiln has now grown, and it has never been burned before, also known as the rain over the azure, is a faint and eternal blue glaze, the official kiln master said that the newly fired porcelain is as blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, extremely beautiful, the official family may wish to choose the official kiln's rain over the azure porcelain as the porcelain of the banquet? The concubine doesn't understand porcelain, but she feels that the name of the rain is extremely happy. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, Zhao Xu saw that his father and eldest mother were talking about how to celebrate the New Year, and he immediately became interested, and jumped to his feet and said: "Father, father, the child wants to see the medicine puppet." ”

The queen pointed her finger at Zhao Xu's nose and said: "If you want to do learning, you will be sad, and if you want to play, you will be happy, be careful to press your father." ”

Zou Tong smiled and hugged His Royal Highness the Prince, knelt on the ground and bowed again and again: "The slaves and maids in the palace thank the official family for their rewards." ”

The queen smiled: "There is a scoundrel here, no matter what, every year you are this scoundrel, for the sake of your diligence this year, all the rewards are doubled compared to last year, and everyone is adding a new dress, as long as His Majesty is a dragon body Kangtai, this palace never hesitates to reward!" ”

Zou Tongxiao's mouth grinned behind his ears, so he thanked him even more diligently. Seeing the emperor with a smile on his face, even his spirit seemed to be much better, and he became more and more happy, how could Zou Tong care about that reward, as long as the emperor was good, it was not a problem for him to want anything.

In this palace, the emperor is the heaven that blesses everyone to live, as long as the sky is still there, it doesn't matter if there is a little wind and grass. (To be continued)
