"After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of West Lake is not the same as the four seasons. The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red"

Many people can still remember this poem, but who made it and what is the name of the poem, I'm afraid it is only X degree, and Liu Yu is of course no exception. Therefore, when Yang Xingqian, who was traveling with horses, chanted this poem, he could not even say words of appreciation except for the jaw head to show that he was not so ignorant.

"After the mother is Yang Gong, this poem has been memorized by heart since he was four years old, but this June lotus is still the first time to see it, so the owner is smiling." Yang Xingqian raised his hand and pointed to the West Lake in the distance and said with a smile, Liu Yu secretly screamed ashamed, he had been here many times in this life and the next, but he had never seen the beautiful scenery in front of him. From these words, Liu Yu also heard another meaning, Yang Xingqian's surname is with his mother, and most of them have unknown reasons.

Pink lotus flowers dot the green lotus leaves, covering most of the lake, although the sky is a bit exaggerated, but the effect is still far beyond the later generations. Liu Yu still remembers that I don't know what year it was, and it was reported on the news that the planting area of lotus flowers in West Lake had been greatly reduced, which could only be seen in the Quyuan area, so he strongly appealed to the relevant departments to pay attention to the article.

On the other side of the lake, the pleasure boats are moving slowly in twos and threes, the sound of silk and bamboo is faintly heard with the wind, and the surrounding Su Causeway is full of weeping willows, which contrast with the green mountains in the distance, which reminds Liu Yu of another very famous poem.

"It's a pity that 'the warm wind makes tourists drunk', and this has been the case for a hundred years." Three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus' attracted the wolf's side eyes, this Jiangnan may not be so good. While speaking, Liu Yu also glanced back at the prisoners who followed behind, and did not find a suitable prisoner car in the county town, so he had to put a flail on his head, and then use ropes to connect them one after another.

They were walking along the official road on the edge of the West Lake towards the direction of Lin'an City, since entering the Jingshi, the surrounding area can be said to be the most prosperous area of the Great Song Dynasty, this way, the people were attracted by their costumes and those captives, gathered on the side of the road as if welcoming the road, so that the speed naturally slowed down.

Liu Yu only arrived in the county seat the night before, but fortunately he knew that there was no curfew in Lin'an Mansion, and although there was no way to enter the city, it was still easy to find a place to live outside the city. Of course, the matter over there in Jinling has ended, and Su Wei also followed him to Yuhang, remembering that he knocked on her door in the middle of the night, Su Wei looked sleepy, and Liu Yu showed a slight smile.

"Look at the owner, the people's hearts are available." Yang Xingqian looked at the people who burst into cheers from time to time and said, Liu Yu was silent and did not answer, the people are actually blind, if you resolutely resist they will follow regardless of sacrifice, if you open the city and surrender, they will also follow as a submissive people, the so-called people's will, it all depends on how the people in power manipulate.

Not long after the line, Wu Shan was already in sight, their destination was the Qiantang Post at the foot of Wu Mountain, as for how to enter the city, but also to listen to the arrangement of the imperial court, to the gate of the post house, several green robes officials were already waiting there, just stepped into the threshold of the economic system officials and a few post guards stepped forward to take their horses, and took those prisoners and escorted their own soldiers to the other courtyard.

"But Liu Zhige, the members of the lower official rite department, these are the main books of Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple, and we have been ordered to wait here for a long time, but fortunately I didn't miss it." An official led by Liu Yu greeted several people and said with a smile.

"I'm tired, I don't know how the imperial court arranged, when will we be able to enter the city?" Liu Yu said hello to a few of them, introduced Yang Xingqian to them, and the group walked inside while making noise.

"Don't hide it from the Zhige, this subordinate doesn't know, I was just ordered to come to welcome you into the post, and the rest will not know until you go back to the city and ask." The outsider said embarrassedly, Liu Yu didn't care very much, most likely because their position was too low, and these things should not be heard.

"Has Huang Xuanwei and his entourage arrived?" This post station is estimated to be the largest in the entire Great Song Dynasty, covering an extremely wide area, there are many buildings inside, and it is divided into several areas, he was originally a little worried that he could not live, but now it seems that it is completely redundant, according to the introduction of this foreign man, there are often missions of subject countries to stay here, and those people come to be thousands, of course, this place is not small.

"There is already an outpost coming, it will arrive today, and if you go ashore at the dock outside the city, you will come here, and the Zhige will rest for a while, and someone will report as soon as there is news." Listening to his words, Liu Yu nodded, he had completely relieved his mind, and he had been delayed in the county seat for four days, and now he was still in front, which showed how slow the boat was.

"Has there been a messenger from the Yuan people recently?" Walking to the post house arranged for him, Liu Yu suddenly remembered that Lian Xixian and his party who were rescued by him, and it stands to reason that they should arrive a few days early.

"Well, I arrived the day before yesterday and lived there." The outsider pointed to a building in the distance and said, Liu Yu looked at it, it was quite far away, it is estimated that this is also a system, and there are different meanings inside and outside. When he stepped into his residence, he found that it was a small courtyard with four or five rooms, which was enough for him and these soldiers to live, and he was very satisfied.

The political hall located in the palace is not as harmonious as them at the moment, in a large room on the right, more than ten people are standing or sitting, looking at their clothes, all of them are purple robes and beads. The top few members of the Great Song bureaucracy were all concentrated in this room, but despite the three or four ice basins in the corner, the people in the room were still wiping the sweat from their heads and faces, as if they were in a furnace.

"It's been a few days, and this matter has not been conclusive, my lords, the Empress Dowager is still waiting for the result of what I am waiting for, is it possible to do this?" Chen Yizhong's voice echoed in the slightly supportive room, no longer as rigid as before, a little hoarse, and a little helpless in his tone.

"As long as Chen Xiang no longer insists on those fallacies, he will naturally be able to make a decision, why is it so deadlocked now, do you still have to blame others?" Wang Entropy said unhurriedly, his words aroused the echo of several people, and Chen Yizhong saw this, so he had to turn his gaze to the other ruler Liumengyan.

"What Wang Xiang said is right, this matter is related to the system, it is not easy to change, Chen Xiangzhi's discussion is not unreasonable, now the state affairs are difficult, and it is to use this to boost the hearts of the army and the people, and the queen mother also has this intention, according to the old man, it is better for the two to take a step back, and it is not a matter for the old to be so deadlocked."

Liu Mengyan's words made him helpless, this old thing made it clear that the two did not help each other, and only knew that it was with the mud, Chen Yizhong looked at everyone in the house one by one, but he couldn't find a few people who could support him, he only blamed himself for being too young, and he didn't have so many protégés and old officials to make friends, and he could quarrel until now for such a trivial matter.

In fact, this is really not a big matter, what they are arguing about is the procedure of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony and the question of the formation of people, according to Chen Yizhong's method, it is to make it grand and grand, so that the whole city can witness it, and directly let the officers and soldiers who returned to Beijing with the mission escort the prisoners from the imperial road to the Hening Gate, to be reviewed by the officials and hundreds of officials.

Wang Entropy led the etiquette to follow the past practice, the Lin'an Mansion sent people to guard the prisoners, and then the priest in front of the palace performed the gift for the main person, and then the official family saluted and offered the prisoners to the Taimiao. Originally, there were only some small differences, but Chen Yizhong didn't think it was a big deal, but after arguing for a long time, they all got a little angry, and it turned into a battle of will.

There is nothing wrong or missing in what Wang Xiang said, but at this time and that time, when the son is just rushing today, how to do those things is one of them. Second, I have received a report from outside the city that the soldiers he and others led are only more than 1,000 people, and they are put into the city to take a turn, and they are still stationed outside the city after the ceremony, how can this become unsuitable? These soldiers are all people who have survived the bloody battle, and they finally arrived in Beijing, let them see the face of the sky, and let those soldiers who are about to collapse see what is wrong with being loyal to the king. ”

Seeing that Wang Entropy was still shaking his head with a non-negotiable expression, Chen Yizhong's patience was finally exhausted, he didn't want to go on like this anymore, "He" stood up at once, shook his robe, and made a look of turning around and leaving the house.

"In this case, you and I will each play, let the Empress Dowager be judged." Chen Yizhong arched his hands in the direction of the forbidden middle, and raised his feet to leave, he might as well be dragged by someone, he stopped and looked, still staying in Mengyan.

"Discuss and discuss, there is a business to have a quantity, why should we be so anxious with the power, we are the prime minister, we should have the amount of the prime minister, we can't put it to the Son of Heaven without saying a word, don't say that the Son of Heaven is still young, even if it is in the prime of life, it can't be like this, the big thing, we have to come up with a charter first, before we can enter the palace to face the saint."

Liu Mengyan's words implied that he didn't care about the overall situation, Chen Yizhong turned around with a wry smile, and still sat down in his place. It's not that he has to be like this, how many things the country has to deal with in a day, everything has to be done like this, he can't do it, after sitting down, he doesn't speak, waiting to see what Liu Mengyan wants to do.

"Ask for heart, tell me, what are the discussions on the etiquette system, and are there any old precedents to follow?" Watching the two rulers fight in the ring, Xu Zongren was coldly called by his name, he was stunned for a while, and thought about it in his mind for a while before he spoke.

"Since the establishment of the dynasty, there have been many things like this to offer prisoners, such as: Taizu Pingshu, Pinglingnan, Pingnan Tang, Taizong Pingtaiyuan, Xifan and other departments, all have the gift of prisoners. At that time, the etiquette system had not yet been decided, and all departments of the forbidden army participated, or they could be cited from one or two. ”

"Ridiculous, not to mention that the ritual system was not decided at that time, and in the battle to destroy the country, the people who were sacrificed, Meng Chang, Liu Gang, Li Yu, and the kings of the various tribes, could they be compared to those captives this time? After the southern crossing, how can I not talk about my own precedent, the rebellion of Xichuan Wu Xi and the battle to destroy Jin are just around the corner, this is what can be referred to, what else is there to discuss? ”

As soon as Xu Zongren's words fell, Wang Entropy blocked him back, he was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he was already familiar with the etiquette system, and he was even more enlightened when he said it, and none of the people present, including Liu Mengyan, were his opponents, so the people in the room stopped talking, and suddenly became cold again.

"Having said that, this victory is different from others after all, and there are some flexibility in the regulations." Hearing Liu Mengyan's words, Wang Entropy's eyebrows trembled and he wanted to refute, but the former waved his hand to signal him not to worry, and after listening to him, he temporarily restrained his movements.

"According to those two examples, the front division of the palace must send thousands of armor soldiers to go with you, but don't forget, most of the current Jiankang department is under the jurisdiction of the metropolitan governor's mansion led by Jia Yidao, and the vast majority of them are from the three ya, according to this calculation, it is not indispensable for them to belong to the front of the palace."

Sanya refers to the front of the palace division, the guard horse military division and the guard infantry division, among which the chief officer of the front of the palace is the commander of the palace and the commander of the latter two, so according to Liu Mengyan's explanation, it also makes sense, Wang Entropy was just about to get up and say something, and after glancing at his expression, he stopped again.

"Naturally, they are also foreigners in the end, and they can't all be put into the city, so let them be halved according to the number of thousands, so that they can have both. Wang Xiang and Chen Xiang, what do you think? Liu Mengyan asked with his hands spread, Wang Entropy and Chen Yizhong glanced at each other, and both nodded helplessly.

"In this case, let's hurry up and draw it up, you and I will enter the palace together, don't let the saint wait for a long time." Liu Mengyan smiled, drove out those purple-robed high-ranking officials who didn't say a word, summoned a few direct houses who were doing errands outside, and began to write a recital in the room.
