It is said that when Yue Fei got married, it was also a blind date for hundreds of officials, and the emperor could not favor one over the other, so he also visited Yue Fei and his wife in person, and named Li Wa "Mrs. Zhengde".

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Emperor Zhao Gou asked to go to the court, and the emperor congratulated everyone on a happy New Year, summed up the major things of last year, and looked forward to this year and beyond, hoping that the civil and military officials would perform their duties and strengthen the development of military, government, agriculture, industry and commerce.

Li Gang displayed the letter of state sent back by the Western Xia, and the Western Xia agreed to reopen the Silk Road and strengthen economic exchanges between the two countries. Emperor Zhao sent a decree to the whole country to inspire the people, the first batch of merchants on the Silk Road will be protected by the army, until the Western Regions is opened, and the next road will depend on the traders themselves. Wu Jue's Shaanxi Route Army was the closest to the Western Xia and Western Regions, and the responsibility for the first batch of protection was handed over to Wu Jue, who ordered him to ensure the safety of the merchants and not to have fierce conflicts with the Western Xia and Tubo along the road.

In addition, 369 went out, and Zhao Gou ordered Yang Zaixing to lead 6,000 elite soldiers to Japan on the 16th day of the first month to raise the prestige of our country.

After dispersing, the generals of the various armies in other places received orders to go back to various places, and Yue Feite rested for a few days, and then left after the Lantern Festival.

Qu Ping had already received a secret report that Li Changyou was sent by the king of Western Xia to eat melons in Guazhou and Shazhou to eat sand, so he specially found Wu Jue and asked his soldiers to escort the caravan, so he went to Guazhou or Shazhou by the way, found Li Changyou, and sent condolences and gifts to Li Changyou on his behalf.

Wu Jue was scheming, and thought of Qu Ping's plan in his heart, but he didn't say anything about it, only said that he would act according to his orders.

Qu Ping returned home and met Sakagami Ryujiro who had been waiting for a long time at the door, and he impatiently asked the emperor if he had opened Chrysostom and said when he would send troops. He has been in the Great Song Dynasty for almost three months, and he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, for fear that the emperor will have changed people after returning to China.

Qu Ping said: "What my Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty said is true, and I asked the emperor for help this morning, and the emperor said that you can send troops at 16." ”

Ryujiro Sakagami crossed his fingers and counted the eight or nine days left, looking loveless: "There is still so much time!" ”

"The army must look at the right time, place and people, and it must choose a good day, and it is not a good house."

"The general is right, too philosophical."

Qu Ping sent Ryūjiro Sakagami, and went back to the house to hug his wife and tease the child, he thought when he would have a child himself, that would be fun.

After the Lantern Festival, this Spring Festival is over, so the Lantern Festival, that is, the Shangyuan Festival, will also be very grand and lively, such as today's peace, although the people of the capital are not as rich as the heyday before the Great Song Dynasty, but the general food and clothing is still no problem, tighten the belt, you can leave the silver to have fun. Now it is the Great Song Dynasty, the northern region has experienced wars, and the economy and people's livelihood are depressed, but the southern region is still very rich.

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, light lanterns, guess lantern riddles, all kinds of snacks and fun, etc., how can Qu Ping and Xiao Lu let it go. Thinking about the Spring Festival last year, I still spent it with the Five Tigers in Helan Mountain, except for drinking, I drank the northwest wind.

Xiao Lu smiled happily, and Qu Ping thought to himself, what if he was going back to the modern era one day.

"What do you think, come and help me guess the lantern riddle." Xiao Lu shouted.

Qu Ping came back to his senses from his thoughts, no matter what he was doing so much, there was a saying that "there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sorrowful." If tomorrow is suffering, and today is suffering for tomorrow's suffering, then there will be no sweetness today.

"Thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day, and one idiom will be played." Xiao Lu said.

"It's as simple as a day." Qu Ping said.

The boss is not happy, you can get my things by answering five questions correctly, you are too simple as a guest officer, then it will be difficult for you, he said: "This son, I also have difficulties here, I'm afraid you won't dare to take it." Five times money and five questions, all of them will be compensated to me for five times, and you will lose if you answer one wrong question, and the content is all poems published by famous authors on the market. ”

Qu Ping wanted to come out to play anyway, and he was afraid that you wouldn't make it, so he said okay. The two answered four questions correctly in a row, which attracted a lot of applause, and the boss was so anxious that his face was sweating.

Fortunately, the last question stumped the two.

"When you are sick, Xiao Xiao's temples are ,......, cardamom and the tips are fried in water, and you can't divide the tea." Xiao Lu said, "What is this, I don't seem to have seen it." ”

The boss said proudly: "I see that you don't care about the current writers on weekdays, this is the latest work of Yi'an Jushi." ”

Xiao Lu said: "No way, I like Yi'an Jushi the most, how could I not know her words." ”

"That's because of the war last year, so there were fewer books published." The boss said with a laugh.

Qu Ping said: "In this case, can I ask for foreign aid?" ”

The boss said: "Yes, but if I count a hundred times and no one answers you correctly, the money will belong to me. One, two, three......"

"Hey, hey, slow down!" Xiao Lu shouted, "Friends, if there is anything I can do to help, I can give you two pieces of money!" ”

Many people have the heart to help Xiao Damei, but unfortunately the ink in their stomachs is limited, and they can't help, so they can only help in a hurry.

"Lie down and watch the waning moon on the curtain." A lady in her forties said.

The boss pursed his lips and said, "Congratulations, girl, this lady has answered you correctly." This is your two times the money, good to go, not to send. "The boss has already started to send off customers, and if he continues like this, he will lose money and die.

Xiao Lu took the money, handed it to the lady, and said, "Thank you, madam, this is the two pieces of money you won." ”

The lady smiled and looked at the two pieces of money, said that there would be a time later, and then disappeared into the crowd.

"I didn't expect this lady to be in her forties, and she still loves Yi'an Jushi's words, and even bought the latest works." Xiao Lu exclaimed.

Qu Ping said casually: "Maybe she is Yi'an Jushi!" ”

Xiao Lu thought about it, yes, it must be her, didn't Zhu Shuzhen say that Yi'an Jushi was going to come to teach. Xiao Lu kicked Qu Ping and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" When I looked for it again, the lady was long gone.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Jingdong Barracks.

Six thousand elite soldiers rode on warhorses, armed with swords and guns, and their saddles hung crossbows, and their armor stood neatly in the center of the school field, with other soldiers standing on three sides. Zhao Gou stood on the high platform, behind him were Qu Ping, Yang Zaixing and other generals, as well as Sakagami Ryujiro.

Zhao Gou said: "Soldiers, you are standing here neatly today, I believe you already know your mission!" That's right, raise the prestige of our country! Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Japan has always admired China's Chinese civilization and has always been under our protection. Now that the lord of Japan, as the lord of a country, has a request to be with my Great Song Dynasty, we should be the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, help him to put down the thieves, and show my Chinese might! Soldiers, do you have faith? ”

"Yes!"

"Good job, you are all good sons, you are all the most heroic soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, are you afraid!"

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! ”

"Yang Zaixing listens to orders!" Yang Zaixing knelt on one knee with a spear in his hand, and Zhao said, "I have named you a general and given you ten treasure knives, I hope you will wipe out the thieves, raise the prestige of our country, and bring the soldiers back completely!" ”

"The last general will obey the order!" Yang Zaixing said.

Yang Zaixing stepped on the horse, said goodbye to the emperor and Qu Ping, and waved: "Let's go!" ”

Qu Ping looked at his most elite troops and prayed in his heart that you must go home safely!

Sakagami Ryujiro bid farewell to the emperor and Qu Ping, took his men on horseback, and went out of the gate with the troops. The army was to go to Hangzhou by water, and then sail to Japan on ten huge ships that had been prepared. The ship was equipped with grain, vegetables, and fruits, and Qu Ping also taught them how to use water to make bean seedlings, which could solve the problem of not being able to eat vegetables at sea. There are no typhoons at sea at this time, so don't worry too much, there are guides from Japan and the Great Song Dynasty, so it shouldn't be a problem to get to Japan safely.

Affected by the North Pacific Circulation, it is estimated that it will take ten or twenty days to reach Japan.

The emperor sent to Japan not only by force, but also by the power of culture. All the scholars who failed in last year's scientific examination, excluding the top three, totaled more than 600 people, all of whom were sent to Japan to spread Sinology culture and teach them to learn Chinese and speak Chinese. The emperor promised that they could all be reused in their corresponding positions after returning to China.

Scholars study for a lifetime, not for fame and official positions, and now there is a ready-made road there, how can you not grasp it. This group of scholars had been waiting at the port of Hangzhou for many days, and as soon as the army arrived, they would march together. They were eager to try, vowing to do something on the other side.

During the Spring Festival this year, Emperor Zhao Gou announced that many of his relatives returned to the capital and lived in the imperial city together. Because Zhao Gou's relatives belonging to Zhao Kuangyi were basically taken captive to the Jin Kingdom, only the descendants of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin were scattered across the country. In order to strengthen the ranks of the royal family, Zhao Gou brought some relatives who thought he was satisfied with to live in the capital, and he also seemed to be less lonely. Of course, the older ones and the scheming ones don't need to talk about it, and the ones who come are all young boys, girls, boys, and girls over the age of five and under thirty.

Zhao Gou said that in order to strengthen the communication between the royal family and enhance the relationship, he decided to hold a keju competition. The athletes on both sides are composed of the royal family and Beijing officials. Because Li Gang is a little older, Qu Ping will be the leader of the Jingguan side. The most important thing is that there can also be female team members, because Zhao Gou said that there are several naughty princesses who also like to juju, and it is impossible to say that they don't play with them.

Qu Ping is familiar with modern football, and claims to be the king of Asia, but he doesn't know much about the ancient Keju, I heard that Keju is to kick all kinds of tricks with his head and feet, and the last kick is kicked into the high ball frame, similar to freestyle football.

You have to play soccer to have a chance of winning!
