Chapter 166 Huaibei intends to come to the Golden Envoy

"Ridiculous! How can you play all day long! ”

In the midst of Taixue, a scholar angrily threw the newspaper on the ground and shouted: "Gentlemen, how to ......"

"Horn!"

Before the scholar could finish speaking, a feather bow that flew from nowhere hit his mouth, and he hurriedly spit it out, and when he saw the yellow mud on his head, he spat out a few times and roared, "Who is it? ”

"Yongkang Chen Anping." The person who threw the feather bow stood proudly: "You are disrespectful and insult the monarch's father, there is a way that the king insults the courtiers, and it is light to beat you with the feather bow, if it is not for the national law, I will not beat you with peach blossoms on your face, you don't know why the flowers are so red!" ”

The scholar before was speechless.

This Yongkang Chen Anping, who is also a famous family, has recently been in the limelight among the Lin'an students, and is close to Xie Yue, one of the three leaders of the previous Tai students. He is not only as generous as Xie Yue, but also more direct than Xie Yue, Xie Yue is just nosy and sarcastic, but he has repeatedly provoked trouble, and has already saturated several students with old fists.

This guy is not very old, although he is a scholar, but he has a lot of strength, and he is very experienced in fighting, far better than those romantic talents who are mixed in the fat powder pile, and he only wins and loses with one against three, not to mention that he also has a helper, and he is also the kind of person who is used to fighting.

"Chen Yisheng, I don't care about you." The gentleman's face was red and white for a while, seeing Chen Anping's provocative look, he knew that if he was really more serious with him, he would have to eat a fight, the so-called person who knew the times was a handsome man, and the so-called hero did not eat the immediate loss, the scholar endured this breath: "Sven scum, Sven scum!" ”

"Hmph, when the country is trying to recover, the eldest husband should bring a three-foot sword and run rampant in the world. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people like you, why would the official family have to endure the national enmity? A person behind Chen Anping sneered: "Scum? It's better than yours! ”

"What Shizifang said is good!" Li Shi, who had been following Chen Anping all day, also came up and said: "What can you say about useless people who are not as good as such women and women, let's go first, and go sign up and try!" ”

The reason why they argued was because some time ago, the Son of Heaven issued an edict in the "Weekly", saying that now that Xuzhou had been restored and the Central Plains was wide open, it was necessary to prepare for the Northern Expedition. It's just that the country has accumulated for many years, and the people's customs and culture are weak, so I am afraid that the sudden dispatch of troops will not be conducive to the country. Therefore, the people practiced martial arts and physical fitness, thinking that it was a long-term recovery.

Among the physical fitness techniques prescribed by the Son of Heaven, there is one of the feather bows.

"Your Majesty, Chang Yuju, is it only about keeping fit?" In the Forbidden Palace, in the Boya Building, Yue Ke asked with a smile.

Zhao Heju also smiled when he heard this: "Not only since I see the people, the wind of gambling is extremely strong, and cockfighting and insect racing are not beneficial to people's livelihood, but also damage to the body." It's not as good as Keju and the like, it can still strengthen the body, but Keju is very complicated, not everyone can get it, so it is replaced by Yuju. ”

"Your Majesty's plan is far-reaching." Yue Ke sighed: "At the time of the Taizu of this dynasty, there were still sample soldiers in the selection of the forbidden army, all of whom were strong and strong. Taizu was strong when he was strong, so he attacked everything, and now his troops are weak, so he has been defeated repeatedly. ”

His words were a bit roundabout, Zhao Heju knew that he was just a literati, far from the strategy of the ancestors, so he just smiled.

"Since Your Majesty wants to negotiate peace with the Jin people, why hasn't you sent an envoy for a long time?" After a pause, Yue Ke asked again.

"I have already released my goodwill in the "Weekly", is there no wise man among the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom?" Zhao Youju smiled slightly: "I expect that there must be a time in the Jin Kingdom in Lin'an, and the "Weekly" contains the current affairs of my Great Song Dynasty, and they should send this to the Jin Kingdom." If I send an envoy to Jin, it will be I asking him for peace, and if he sends an envoy to the south, it will be me asking for peace. Now that I am strong and weak, it is Jin Guo who begs me, and I no longer beg him. ”

Yue Ke shook his head when he heard this, the Son of Heaven's concern was extremely subtle, but would Jin Guo really send a messenger?

On November 16, the first year of Baoqing of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jingyun ended his trip to Xuzhou and was about to return to Lin'an on the passenger ship of China Merchants Bureau, when a news surprised him.

A team of Jin people came from outside Xuzhou City, and the leader of the team called himself an envoy of the Jin State, and his name was Wugu Sun Hongyi. This news did not come as a surprise to Li Ye and Liu Quan, in fact, at the same time as Zhao and Ju issued the edict, a secret letter was sent to them, reminding them that there might be an envoy from the Jin State passing by.

The junction between the Song State and Jin is thousands of miles, and the reason why it is judged to be from Xuzhou is because only the local officials of Xuzhou are the confidants that Zhao and Ju can really trust; The second is that because he suffered such a big loss, he must also pass through Xuzhou to see if there is an opportunity.

"Brother Zheng is the leader of the Tai students, would you like to meet this Wugu Sun Hongyi with me?" Li Ye, who brought the news, sat in front of Zhao Jingyun: "I am only a shallow learner, and I have long abandoned literature and martial arts. ”

Only then did Zhao Jingyun understand why Li Ye would pull himself in this kind of thing. However, it was rare to have a chance to fight with the northern world enemy, which made him extremely excited, and after taking a breath, he nodded cautiously: "Dare not to fight?" ”

Wugu Sun Hongyi is a man over forty years old, he served as a servant of the Jin State official, although he is not a high power, but he also has an identity. When he saw that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty who greeted him were only in their twenties, his heart moved, he was easy to be frizzy when he was young, and the frizz would be flawed, so he deliberately said arrogantly: "No one cares about the Great Song Dynasty, and he actually takes the kid as the state pastor!" ”

"It's not that I have no one in the Song Dynasty, but I am really dealing with inferior enemies, so it is naturally up to us hairy boys. The Confucian ministers in the country, the old and virtuous, how can they be seen by the barbarians? Zhao Jingyun smiled slightly and said unhurriedly.

"Hmph, Jiading negotiated peace, my Dajin is the uncle of Song, Song is my nephew of Dajin, a little erection, what can I do, dare to say to the ambassador of Boguo?"

"I despise those who smell meat, I have doubts, but today I can see your envoy, and I believe it." Zhao Jingyun did not show weakness, and there was a stream of people behind him who begged the escort team to back, and there was no need to show weakness: "Your envoy to your country, can you offer a plan to break the Hu people?" Can troops be raised to recover lost territory? Can it be passed through the world? Can it help the people? ”

This series of questions about whether it was okay to ask Wugu Sun Hongyi with a gun and a stick, made Wugu Sun Hongyi red-faced, and then "hummed" and said no more.

Xuzhou greeted him without any etiquette, in short, he was connected to the city, when he was in the city, he also stopped and looked up at the fort on the head of the city with his subordinates, the thick cannon, made him look very uncomfortable. Li Ye glanced at his side, and there was one of the people around him who looked the most focused, Li Ye guessed that this person was either a skilled craftsman or an excellent painter, and he was obviously going to steal this cannon.

It's just that the cannon skills can't be learned just by looking at the appearance, and the casting technology can't keep up, and the cannons made will only become rags to send their own soldiers to the sky.

Therefore, Li Ye did not expose it, in fact, it was useless to expose it, I believe that now Jin Guo already has a picture of the shape of this cannon.

The envoy stayed in Xuzhou for two days, and it happened that a ship from the steamship China Merchants Bureau arrived in Xuzhou, because the weather became colder, this ship will also be the last passenger ship of the year, and after that, the river will be frozen and unsuitable for boats. The envoy was very curious about this ship, and when he learned that he was an envoy, he had to pay the price for this ship, and he lost his temper, which meant that if he wanted to pay, it would be humiliating to the state and immediately turn back. It's a pity that this is Xuzhou, Huaibei, Li Ye is the first person in the military, and Liu Quan is the first person in government affairs, these two don't care about the Jin State, Liu Quan simply didn't show up, the reason is that "I am the Red Jacket Army and want to kill the officials of the Jin State when they see it, or I can't see it", and I concentrated on repairing his embankment.

The background of China Merchants is actually Hu Fulang. After Liuqiu opened the port, his business in Dinghai was a little difficult to do, and when he earned a large amount of copper money for Zhao and Ju over the years, he also accumulated a huge fortune for his family. After Zhao and Ju became pro-government, they secretly gave him the opportunity to recruit a few wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou who were familiar with him and built this steamship China Merchants Bureau. In the bureau, the royal family secretly accounted for half of the shares, while Hu Fulang accounted for a quarter, and the rest of the wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou accounted for a quarter. So far, the passenger transportation of the steamship China Merchants Bureau is still losing money, but the freight has made a lot of money, and the materials sought by the self-flow have been transferred from the canal to Chuzhou and Xuzhou.

Naturally, Liuqiu does not suffer a loss in this, not only the loss of shipping is greatly reduced, but also the manpower and material resources saved are enough for them to earn more wealth. Moreover, generally those who come to China Merchants are people who want to retire from the Coast Guard, or people who have just graduated from Yixue and are interested in joining the Coast Guard but need to accumulate experience.

Therefore, the ship of this passenger ship did not put Wugu Sun Hongyi in his eyes at all, and when he saw that he was still shouting, he ordered to anchor with a "hum", and Li Ye also gave an ultimatum to Wugu Sun Hongyi, either follow the ship to Lin'an, or return to Jinguo. Wugu Sun Hongyi was extremely depressed in his heart, he originally went to Western Xia with his colleagues, and the Jin State and Western Xia once again allied to fight against Menghu, if he went to Western Xia, he would have to be entertained. As a result, because he lost two battles in a row under the city of Xuzhou, and learned from the Song State's "Great Song Times Weekly" that the Great Song Xinjun also had peace intentions, so he, the ghost of the inverted frieze, was sent to visit the Great Song Dynasty.

Jin Guo is now in the second year of Zhengda, and the Son of Heaven is twenty-eight years old this year, and he is also a very heroic and promising Son of Heaven. As soon as he ascended the throne, he changed the policy of the first emperor, made peace with Xia and Song, and fought against Meng Yuan with all his might. Before Wugu Sun Hongyi came, he repeatedly confessed to him and asked him to negotiate with Song Guo, so although he was angry, Wugu Sun Hongyi finally paid the money.

When the ship passed through Chuzhou, it was anchored overnight, Zhao Jingyun took the opportunity to go ashore to visit Zhen Dexiu, more than a month has passed, Chuzhou has finally settled down, and the city has also recovered some vitality, originally only more than 6,000 people, but now it has more than 10,000 people. Moreover, Zhide Xiuzheng sent out letters one after another, inviting famous scholars from all over the world to come to Chuzhou, and his words were extremely sincere, in this short period of time, there were more than 20 people in his originally empty government office, all of whom were great Confucians and their disciples.

Because he was busy, Zhen Dexiu only met with Zhao Jingyun, and was accompanied by Li Shimin, Li Shimin was a little sullen, Zhao Jingyun said: "Now that Su Confucianism is gathered here, Huainan is in ruins, it is the time to show his strengths, why is the government unhappy?" ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "The dancing goose sings back to Fang Wuzhi, the Confucianism gathers, the words must be called famous teachings, and the deeds must be reasonable to learn, although it is ...... Alas, for some reason, I always feel less comfortable than when we are begging. ”

He only said this, and then clenched his fists and cheered up: "Don't talk this nonsense, it is rare for the true father to be trusted by the Son of Heaven, and he has the opportunity to show his strengths and feet, but it's a pity that I am only a shallow learner and can't help much." Man Qing, you are far better than me, staying here to try what you have learned in your life, wouldn't it be much more meaningful than going back to Taixue? ”

"This is not Zhu Zi's learning, but Chen Longchuan's utilitarian theory." Zhao Jingyun made him laugh naughtily, with the introduction of Chen Liang and Ye Shi in the "Great Song Times Weekly", the doctrine of the two of them has now spread very widely, and it has faintly become close to Zhu Xian'an and Lu Xiangshan.

"Brother Manqing!" Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Stay!" ”

"It's not going to work, I'm ...... I only acted with blood and blood at the beginning, but now that I think about it, I only sigh that I hate less when I use books, and my own knowledge is too insufficient. Zhao Jingyun said a little apologetically: "Xie Yue stayed in Liuqiu, you come to Chuzhou, I am ready to return to Lin'an, one is to study hard, so that I can solve the confusion in my heart as soon as possible, and secondly, I am also close to the Son of Heaven, but I can watch the changes in the wind and clouds nearby." Brother Zheng, I always feel that we ...... It seems that as the "Weekly" said, it is in the midst of a great change unseen in 1,500 years. The center of this great change is not in Liuqiu, not in Xuzhou, not in Chuzhou, or in Lin'an! ”

Hearing his resolute intentions, Li Shimin didn't want to keep much, so he had to sigh and say: "Everyone has their own ambitions, so they have to be like this." But Brother Manqing, is the golden envoy who came with you still honest, do you want the younger brother to scold? ”

"I've scolded me more than ten times on the road, and now I'm tired of scolding." Zhao Jingyun laughed: "Such a good opportunity, how could I, Zhao Jingyun, miss it!" ”

The two of them parted with each other, but they didn't know that since they broke up, it was already a few years later when they met again, and the three leaders of the Taixue students, who were high-spirited and like-minded in Lin'an Taixue, took different paths.

After saying goodbye to Li Shimin, Zhao Jingyun returned to the boat, and because of parting, he had to go to Wugu Sun Hongyi to quarrel again. Wugu Sun Hongyi won the favor of the gold lord and was selected as an envoy, and he was originally a person who was well-read and good at arguing, but the two of them were very different in age and status, and Zhao Jingyun could play tricks if he lost, as long as he had a slight loophole, he was chased and beaten by Zhao Jingyun, so he was so angry that he yelled every time.

But while shouting, he couldn't help but secretly admire: "There are so many people in the Southern Dynasty, a student of Jietai, who also has such knowledge and knowledge, but I don't know what kind of characters are waiting for me in Lin'an City." ”

In Lin'an City, Zhao and Ju sat on the royal chair, and a contemptuous sneer floated on his lips.
