On the ninth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Duke of Qin married Zhao Fujin, the emperor of Maode, and on this day, the entire Kaifeng City was a sensation.

On this day, Liu Zhenglong officially broke with the Pan family, and officially broke with the meritorious family headed by the four major families.

On this day, Wanyan Yanmu led 3,000 cavalry to sack Thanh Hoa County, and the prelude to the war began, but it was only on a small scale, and to put it bluntly, it was a temptation.

After Yan Yan's mother ransacked Qinghua County, this guy personally went to Shangjing to report to Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai.

Since Tianqing rebelled against the Liao State in the fourth year, although he swept through the Jin State and laid down a large territory, the consumption of the Jin State was too great. This point, the marshal of the front line, Wan Yan Xian, is not clear, but Wan Yan Wu Qimai, who is the emperor of the Jin State, cannot but consider it.

If there is no large amount of money invested, it will be difficult to drive the defeat of the Bohai people, Khitans, Xi people, Goryeo people and the small tribes below to participate in the war. Now that the treasury of the Jin State is empty, Wanyan Wu beggars to set his sights on the rich Song State.

After listening to Yan Yan's mother's report, Wanyan Wu Qimai said to Wanyan Zongyin: "What do you think?" ”

Wanyan Zongyin said: "Your Majesty, the Golden Wolf Guard in the capital recently reported that now the Song Kingdom is a song and dance, and there are no clear measures for the affairs of Yanshan Mansion. However, the emperor of the Song State has married the emperor to Liu Zhenglong, the Duke of Qin, and the target is Yanshan Mansion, although Yanshan Mansion is in the hands of Guo Yaoshi, it is actually under the control of our Jin State, and the original Hebei Xuanfu made Tong Guan not have the courage to recover, and in the end this task is still pressed on Liu Zhenglong. ”

"Liu Zhenglong, why is this guy again." Wanyan Wu was a little unhappy, and he said coldly: "What if Liu Zhenglong fights with Sticky Han?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Yan Zongyin said: "Sticky Han is slightly insufficient, but the combat effectiveness of our Jin soldiers is far greater than that of the Song army, so in the fight, it must be the Jin army that wins." ”

Sticky Han is slightly insufficient, which makes Wanyan Wu beggar a little uncomfortable to hear, and the minister of state is very dissatisfied, after all, Sticky Han (Wanyan Zonghan) is his son, and this minister has always been proud of his son. Moreover, Mu Han is the first good general of the Jin Kingdom, and his ability is above the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongwang, of course, the two of them are called the double walls of the Jin Kingdom.

Hearing that his son was not as good as the Song general, the minister of the state said dissatisfiedly: "The Liao State has pressed the Song State for more than a hundred years, but the Liao army was defeated by our Jin army. Song Jiang has never been good at fighting tough battles, how can anyone be better than Sticky Hanli? ”

Wanyan Zongyin knew that if he said it again, he would raise the bar, so he had to choose silence in this case.

Wanyan Wu begged to think too much about this matter, he waved his hand and said: "Don't say so much, just say that after the sacking of Qinghua County, the army of the Song State did not fight back, can you try it on a large scale." ”

Wanyan Zongyin and Marshal Wanyan Xian are also in a state of mind, that is, the time is not ripe to attack the Song State, but he also knows that the finances of the imperial court are very tight, and he can also understand the emperor's distress.

Faced with the question, Wanyan Zongyin said: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to look at the reaction of the Song Kingdom, this kind of large-scale ransacking of a county town, this matter will definitely be reported to the political hall and the Privy Council." If the Song army reacts strongly and does not hesitate to go to war, we will slow down a little. If the Song army is Sun Tzu, then we can send troops to attack the Song. ”

"Okay, that's it, but, no matter what, we must be ready to go south and inform Marshal Du to return to Beijing to discuss matters."

Wanyan Wu's meaning of begging is very clear, that is, to be fully prepared for battle. It seems that he has made up his mind to invade the Song Dynasty in the south.

The Prime Minister understood the emperor's thoughts, and he actively prepared to mobilize among the major tribes to participate in the war, which was the duty of the prime minister, to ensure that sufficient troops were thrown into the battlefield.

The government affairs hall received a report from Thanh Hoa County, and according to the regulations, a copy of similar matters needs to be sent to the Privy Council. But Bai Shizhong didn't hold it, he discussed this issue with Wang Shiyong, once the Privy Council reported the matter to the official. It was a foregone conclusion that Liu Zhenglong would lead the team to go on the expedition, and they didn't want such a person to go on the expedition, so they withheld this report.

The news of the ransacking of Qinghua County still reached Liu Zhenglong's ears and eyes, but this guy is not in the capital now, and the newlywed Yan'er accompanied Emperor Mao De Zhao Fujin to the south of the Yangtze River, of course, not for fun, the most important thing is to collect rare treasures for the official family, this is the promise that this guy gave to the official family before marrying the emperor, how can he regret it?

In fact, there is another meaning for the official family to let Liu Zhenglong leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan, after all, he relieved this guy of his military power, and if he restores it rashly, it will damage the dignity of the royal family, and the old things in the political hall will not agree. Of course, this is not the core, the problem is that the civilian clique has been holding Liu Zhenglong, maybe it is better to refrigerate for a period of time.

It is not the meaning of the official family to go to Jiangnan, the meaning of the official family is that Liu Zhenglong just goes out for a few months, and goes to Taiyuan Mansion with a secret decree to see the situation of Tong Guan, the meaning is very clear, find a reason to take Tong Guan, and by the way, he served as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong Road and sat in Taiyuan.

During this time, the official family was very dissatisfied with Tong Guan, after all, the affairs of Yanshan Mansion were humiliating and humiliating, of course, there was nothing in the first place, the key was that if Liu Zhenglong made a comparison, the official family felt that Tong Guan was not pleasing to the eye.

Although they did not immediately find a way to recover Yanshan Mansion, the official family still hated the fact that the Great Song Dynasty betrayed by Guo Yaoshi, killed Wang Anzhong, the Xuanfu envoy, and handed over Yanshan Mansion to Jin Guo without authorization. You must know that Guo Yaoshi returned to the Great Song Dynasty through Tong Guan, and what is even worse is that Tong Guan asked for a benefit fee of 100,000 Guan in the middle.

Whether Tong Guan received the gift of Guo Yaoshi, no one knows, the key is that after Guo Yaoshi's accident, the Imperial City Division submitted such a report, so the official family gave Liu Zhenglong such a secret decree, plus Shang Fang's sword, if Tong Guan intends to resist, correct the law on the spot.

The newlywed Yan'er, the eighteen-year-old beauty of Emperor Mao De Zhao Fujin was obsessed with that wonderful feeling, so she obeyed her husband's words along the way, and the two traveled in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were not too anxious to go to Taiyuan immediately, after all, the official family did not clearly stipulate the time to go to the distant future.

After Liu Zhenglong got the holy decree, he asked Zhang Zhongfu, the leader of the dragon claw team, to secretly enter Taiyuan, although there was a holy decree this time, but it was not so easy to kill the king of Guangyang County, the privy envoy, Hedong Road, and Hebei Road Xuanfu Tong Guan. There is evidence, there is a mountain of ironclad evidence, and only then can Tong Guan be killed. For Liu Zhenglong, the six thieves must be killed, and Tong Guan must be killed first.

Heaven and earth, now Hebei Road is tense, and Liu Zhenglong accompanies Emperor Maode Zhao Fujin to play in the mountains and rivers, this is really heaven and earth.

Zhao Fujin, who was sitting at the bow of the boat, faced the breeze and looked at his husband, his face full of happiness.

"Wife, what are you looking at?"

The horses in the world, I am afraid that Liu Zhenglong is the only one who calls the emperor his wife, this guy looks at Zhao Fujin's stunning face, and has a wonderful feeling in his heart, and he can't wait for the sky to get dark soon, so as to start a new round of wonderful journey.

Of course, Zhao Fujin can see Liu Zhenglong's flowery intestines, but his husband likes that kind of thing, and as a wife, he can only enjoy the beauty with this man. She slowly stood up, walked to Liu Zhenglong's side and said: "Husband, I heard that your father's will for you is to go to Taiyuan Mansion to replace Tong Guan as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong Road, but this time I want you to accompany others to Jiangnan to play, you are not afraid of your father's blame, and you are not afraid of the ministers of the political hall participating in you." ”

"Hey, wife, you won't understand things in officialdom." Liu Zhenglong took Zhao Fujin in his arms, and he said with a smile: "This time, it is the emperor's intention, but the emperor has no clear idea of how to deal with Tong Guan, he just wants me to take over the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong Road first, but Tong Guan must die, if he does not die, once he leads the army again in the future, he will still be defeated by the remnants of the army in Yanshan Mansion last time." Defeat is a small matter, but a mistake for the country is a big matter. So he had to die. ”

"However, Tong Guan is a privy envoy, if you kill him without permission, the civil official group will definitely not let you go, I heard that you are fighting with the civil official group before, will they let you go?" Zhao Fujin doesn't care about Tong Guan's life or death, what she cares about most is her husband's future career, after all, she will enter the political hall in the future, how can she fight to the death with the civil and official group?

"Girl, who said that I was going to kill Tong Guan, it was the civilian official group that killed him." Liu Zhenglong had a smile on his face, and he said with a wicked smile: "Honey, it's windy and too cold on the water outside, so let's go into the cabin." ”

"No, in broad daylight, don't just think about that, okay? Legend has it that you sing well, so you can sing a song to others today. ”

"Okay, whatever song you want to hear, I'll sing it to you."

"Whatever you sing, everyone likes it." As soon as she heard that Liu Zhenglong was not going to kill Tong Guan, Zhao Fujin felt much more comfortable, she was now thinking about her husband and children, and she didn't want to care about the outside world.

"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white brushstrokes, and the peony depicted on the bottle body is just like your first makeup, and the sandalwood through the window knows what is going on."

Zhao Fujin was so fascinated by what she heard that even her husband picked her up and put her in the cabin, but only symbolically refused.

Liu Zhenglong went to Jiangnan not to accompany Emperor Maode Zhao Fujin on his honeymoon, nor to find treasures for the official family, but to go to Hangzhou to meet Tang Zhenjun to understand the situation of the Wanshi ship, as well as Ling Zhen's production of firearms, of course, to cheer up the Qian family. After all, after experiencing such an incident some time ago, if you don't give the Qian family an explanation, it will cause unnecessary chaos later.

Yes, the Qian family is indeed struggling during this time, not only Liu Zhenglong's side has changed, but also the young master of the Qian family, Qian Yun, has also died, at this time, Qian Qi, the head of the Qian family, still sticks to the last step, because he is not optimistic about the imperial court, in this case, there is no need to fight back, and once the water is not good, the Qian family will be uprooted.

Zhu Mian, Wang Hao's kind of high-ranking big people were killed by Liu Zhenglong, the Qian family has a big business, and they can't hide if they want to, and it is normal for Qian Qi to be unwilling to take risks in this case.

Qian Qi fortunately didn't take that step, otherwise Pan Yu would have something to do, this young master of the Pan family did not go to Guangzhou or return to the capital after killing Qian Yun, this guy and his woman Yun Jieyu were happy in Hangzhou. He didn't want to go to Guangzhou, he didn't want to be restrained by his brother-in-law, and as for the capital, he would never dare, after all, his mother would not accept a woman as a daughter-in-law.

In the Qian family, Liu Zhenglong's court said after Qian Qi's report: "The academy is running well, and it is necessary to increase the martial arts academy and military academy." ”

"What do you mean, my lord?"

"The martial arts academy is mainly for training special arms and performing special tasks, and I have already formulated specific tutorials, and the instructors have also found a batch." Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong paused and said: "The military academy mainly trains young generals, as long as they are young generals who are prepared for the future against the cavalry. ”

"Okay, I'll get started." Qian Qi is resolute in doing things, since he has made up his mind to follow Liu Zhenglong, he wants to make a name for himself.

Liu Zhenglong said with a smile: "We won't get drunk tonight, and tomorrow we will meet Tang Zhenjun, Ling Zhen." ”

Qian Qi said with a smile: "There is someone who wants to see you, I don't know if the lord is still in the mood to drink after seeing you." ”

"Oh, who's more important than drinking."

"If you don't think the slave family is important, then the slave family can go back." As soon as the door opened, a tall beauty walked in, and as soon as she came in, she said delicately: "It's a shame that people think about you, but I didn't expect that in your eyes, the slave family is not as important as wine." ”

"Zhao Yu, why are you, why are you here."

Liu Zhenglong didn't expect to see Zhao Yu after a few years, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Pan Yu and Yun Jieyu walked in together, and as soon as they entered the house, Yun Jieyu said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, this is my twin sister Yun Qingyu, this is what Pan Yu took a lot of effort to get back, this time he has made meritorious contributions, I don't know how you are preparing to be a brother-in-law last time?" ”

This brother-in-law is a pun, and Yun Qingyu (Zhao Yu) was so ashamed that his face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just stood in place stupidly.

Liu Zhenglong glanced at Pan Yu and said: "You kid work hard, as long as it is scattered, I will protect you from the media, fourth uncle, aunt will give me face." ”

At this moment, the embarrassed person turned into Yun Jieyu, and she stared at Yun Qingyu with a red face and said, "Sister, you don't care about your brother-in-law, you can say anything." ”

"What nonsense, he is your brother-in-law, what can he do with me, I don't even have alcohol important in the eyes of others, what else can I care." Yun Qingyu glared at Liu Zhenglong fiercely, as if he could eliminate the grievances he had suffered over the years.

Liu Zhenglong was slightly embarrassed, after all, Emperor Maode's Ji Zhao Fujin was also in the Qian Mansion, at this time, if something came out, the impact would not be good, after all, it was only a short time after marriage, so it was better not to mess with this bride.

Qian Qi knew that there was nothing to do with himself at this time, so he said with a smile: "Lord, then I'll go out first." ”

"Alright! You've worked hard during this time, and the academy is the top priority, so you have to pay more attention. In the future, these talents will be wealth, they will all be your students, and you will be the master. ”

"Thank you." This is actually a big rebellion, but Qian Qi still said it, this guy knows that if this sentence is said, this Taishi position will not be able to run away in the future, and wealth is in danger, if you don't take risks, how can you exchange for family prosperity in the future?

Liu Zhenglong did not reprimand Qian Qi for what he said, perhaps at this time, the whole person's mind was on Yun Qingyu, and he had no time to think about other issues.

Pan Yu pulled Yun Jieyu out with a very good look, and when he arrived at the door, this guy said casually: "Xiaoyun is already happy, brother-in-law, don't forget to be a matchmaker."

At this time, there was only this pair of bitter mandarin ducks left in the room.

"Where have you been in the past few years, it makes me think about how hard you think."

"There are so many beautiful women around you, can you still have time to think about me?"

"Roses don't know the fragrance of orchids, and beauties are very different."

"Don't be poor, over the years, I haven't run around blindly, and I have set up an intelligence network for you, maybe you can use it in the future." Yun Qingyu's eyes moistened, she has really been wronged over the years, not because she deliberately built an intelligence network for Liu Zhenglong, but in order to connect the previous rudders, hoping to be able to use them in the future.

This night, the spring night is bitter.

This night, Tang Zhenjun didn't sleep, and said to him that tomorrow is the big exam, if he succeeds, he will be glorious in the future, if he messes up, if he doesn't do it, the whole family will be in crisis.

The most important thing is that the design of the 20,000 stone ship has been made, of course, it will take at least a year to make the ship, but this is already very remarkable, this is an epoch-making product, the most important thing is that this 20,000 stone ship is not as a merchant ship, nor as a troop carrier, it is a warship, an unprecedented warship.

The warship, this is the first gunboat, which was jointly built by Tang Zhenjun and Ling Zhen, although the first warship was not used as a 20,000-stone ship, but the transformation of the 10,000-stone ship into a gunboat is also a pioneering achievement.

It was not only Tang Zhenjun who didn't rest that night, but also Ling Zhen, this guy was even more stressed. For a long time, firearms have been the last stream, and they have never been valued by the imperial court, but they are just a six-grade institution, and the funds have always been tight to death.

However, in recent years, the investment has been dozens of times larger than before, and Ling Zhen has also received an order, as long as it can break through in firearms, then the position of the fourth grade will be kept. As for money, it seems to be a matter of how much you have to use. Even the income of ordinary craftsmen exceeds that of the ninth rank official, and as for Ling Zhen, he has already received the treatment of the fourth grade, so he is almost officially appointed.

Ling Zhen's next step is ten key tasks, and now he has won four, of course, this still has to be accepted, so the second day is crucial for this guy, success or failure depends on performance.
