Yang Zaixing said: "But the Japanese are very eager to learn from the strong, which also urges us to keep ourselves strong, lest elephants one day be afraid of ants!" ”

Zhao Gou said: "Aiqing reminds us that we must be cautious, so as not to be better than the blue. Don't be arrogant. It is necessary to know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people. One day, our people are gone, and we have changed to a group of wrecks to control the government, and we are led by others, and it is difficult for me to rest in peace under Jiuquan! ”

"Mountains are impermanent, water is impermanent, and the way of heaven has its own reincarnation, and we can't resist it. Only by doing your own humanity can you fight with the sky. Yang Zaixing said.

"That's right! In the future, I will ask General Yang to do his best for the country and the people! ”

Yang Zaixing replied: "The minister dies without regrets!" ”

Back to the court, the monarchs and ministers are in place. Yang Zaixing also took off his armor, and for the first time he had the opportunity to stand on the main hall, he was inevitably a little excited.

Li Gang opened his remarks and said: "Your Majesty, General Yang did not dishonor the emperor's order and came triumphantly, which should be gratifying!" ”

Zhao Gou laughed and said, "The people have already congratulated General Yang one step ahead of me, and now it is finally my turn." Yang Zaixing and others went to Fusang and made great contributions. The rest of the people have their own promotion rewards. Yang Zaixing listened! ”

"The minister takes the order!" Yang Zaixing knelt down and said.

Zhao Gou said: "Yang Zaixing succeeded Qu Ping, the Duke of Yongguo, commanded the Gyeonggi Road Army, and was awarded the official envoy of the Gyeonggi Road Army. ”

Everyone was a little surprised by the emperor's decision. Yang Zaixing was given the title of everything in the past, but taking over the position of Yongguo is a bit reverie.

Yang Zaixing has been abroad for a long time, he doesn't understand the domestic situation, and he is still a little unsure about his sudden replacement of Qu Ping's position, did Yongguo Gong make any mistakes? I don't see Yongguo Gong today, isn't it......

Li Gang urged: "General Yang, don't thank you yet!" ”

Yang Zaixing hesitated and said: "The minister's virtue is shallow, I'm afraid I can't take on this heavy responsibility." ”

Everyone was shocked, and dared to refuse the emperor's holy will, is this arrogant or carried away?

Zhao Gou said unhappily: "Why? This is the biggest benefit I can think of at the moment! ”

Yang Zaixing explained: "The minister came from a humble background, and he relied on Yongguo Gong's love and support all the way, and he couldn't take over Yongguogong's position. Otherwise, it is disrespectful and unjust, and the minister cannot accept it in his heart. ”

"The political affairs of the court, how can you talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, if so, how can you be more responsible, am I wrong to look at you!?" Zhao Gou airway.

Li Gang suddenly thought that Yang Zaixing wouldn't think that Qu Ping was abandoned by the emperor, right? He didn't know anything about domestic affairs.

Li Gangqi said: "Your Majesty, General Yang has been working hard outside for many years, and he still knows nothing about the affairs of the DPRK and China. ”

Zhao Gou thought about it after listening to it, yes, I didn't say it clearly, no wonder Yang Zaixing misunderstood what I meant.

Zhao Gou turned to Yan Yue and said, "Haha, Yang Aiqing must have misunderstood my decision. That's the case, Yongguo Gong is now in Western Xia to reverse the situation. Moreover, he is also the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the position of the military envoy of the Gyeonggi Road has always been vacant. It just so happened that you came back, and you were also a member of the Gyeonggi Road Army, so if you hand it over to you, I can rest assured, and Yongguo Gong will also rest assured. Is there anything Aiqing doesn't understand at this time? ”

Yang Zaixing said in his heart that this was the case, it was really reckless. Yang Zaixing knelt down and thanked: "It's the minister who is reckless!" Ministers thank the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Zhao Gou said: "This time, Aiqing brought back a lot of Japanese treasures and specialties, and I will reward them to other ministers, so it should be given by Aiqing, and it can be regarded as a gift to everyone after you have risen suddenly." ”

"It's all up to the emperor's orders." Yang Zaixing said.

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, Japan and the Great Song Dynasty have a sincere friendship, and they are willing to pay tribute to two treasures of silver every year, and they hope to increase the number of students studying in the Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao said: "Why not? Like the Tang Dynasty, there are 100,000 foreign students, and I have no opinion! As long as you meet the requirements, you can apply to study in Song. This just shows that the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty has once again become the place where the hearts of the people in the world yearn for! Foreigners, as long as they are knowledgeable and literate, even have no problem serving in our court! ”

"The emperor is shengming, the luck of the world!"

"Your Majesty, the minister applied to increase the construction of the study abroad mansion and increase the publicity of the study abroad permit!" Honglu Temple Qing said.

"Quasi-play. However, the study expenses and daily expenses of international students should be the same as those of the people of their own country, and they should not be bullied or pampered. Zhao Gou said.

Treating everyone equally is a form of respect.

"Your Majesty, the gentleman who went to Japan to spread Chinese culture received a good response, and the minister suggested that scholars be sent in rotation every five years. First, to strengthen exchanges and friendship between China and Japan; Second, it can also allow scholars to get rid of the fate of lifelong hard study for fame. To read 10,000 books, it is better to travel 10,000 miles, go outside to take a look, and return to China to have better ideas to put into practice. The Ministry of Rites asked.

Zhao Gou said: "It's exactly what I want, quasi-play!" ”

Yang Zaixing said: "The minister also plays. ”

"Oh? Please play! ”

"The minister found that the Japanese rice seems to be different from the rice of our Great Song Dynasty, and the minister has an idea...... For example, a wolf and a dog gave birth to a wolf dog. What Chen means is that it is possible to use the method of hybridization, and select the dominant varieties to cross in pairs to see if it can produce fuller and larger rice grains. ”80

Zhao Gou smiled: "Haha, Aiqing is still an agronomist!" This idea is good, and this one will be given to Si Nong to experiment. Next year, and the year after that, at the latest, I will see the results! Not only rice, but all grains and fruits, you can try it! ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said: "The minister's decree! ”

Everyone talked about their creative ideas, and Zhao Gou asked again: "Okay, what else do you Aiqing have to do?" ”

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, the minister has received news that the Jin State has sent troops west to rescue Li Qianshun at the request of Li Qianshun. It is estimated that it has entered the territory of Western Xia at this time. ”

Zhao Gou cleaned up his mood and said, "Jin Guo still sent troops after all. It's expected, but it's a bit tricky! ”

Li Gang took out a secret letter and presented it to Zhao Gou, saying, "This is a secret letter from my spy." Although the Jin Kingdom has sent troops, it is not willing to fight with our Great Song Dynasty, and it should be written soon to inform them that their intention is only to recover the old land. ”

Zhao Gou took the secret letter and said while reading it: "This person's handwriting is good, very neat, very structured, not bad!" This man can make a difference! ”

"The minister doesn't know who this person is, Yongguo Gong should know that this letter was handed over to the minister by someone arranged by Yongguo Gong, so that the minister can present it to the emperor." Li Gang said.

Zhao Gou sighed: "Although the Duke of Yongguo is not in the court, he can be seen everywhere!" ”

Everyone didn't know what the emperor meant to praise Yongguogong, or whether he was afraid of Yongguogong, so they didn't dare to answer at will.

Zhao Gou said: "Since Jin Guo has no intention of fighting me for the time being, we are not busy making trouble with him, and we will clean up Xixia." Okay, let's retire today! ”

After dispersing, Yang Zaixing walked out of the main hall, waited for Li Gang to go out, bowed down and asked: "Prime Minister, dare to ask Yongguo Gong what important things he has in Western Xia, I don't know if Yang can help?" ”

Li Gangxin said that if I knew that I would be more powerful than the emperor, he said: "The specific appearance is not clear, presumably the emperor knows a little more." ”

Yang Zaixing thought that I would dare to ask the emperor, so he said helplessly: "There is Prime Minister Lao." ”

Li Gang didn't want to let him be disappointed, and told Yang Zaixing: "The old man only knows that Yongguo Gong is alone, plus General Wu Jue's 50,000 horses, attacked from two directions, and turned Western Xia upside down. ”

Yang Zaixing secretly praised, Yongguo Gong was a lonely hero, and he broke into the tiger's den in Longtan alone, presumably doing the earth-shattering thing of crying ghosts and gods! I must redouble my efforts to strengthen the wings of Yongguo Gong in the future.

Li Gangben took two steps, and then returned to give a piece of advice to the junior Yang Zaixing: "Dingwei Hou, the old man relies on the old and sells the old, don't care." You must always be vigilant to yourself where you come from, why you came, and who you are coming for. ”

Yang Zaixing said respectfully: "The lower officials know, thank you for your advice!" ”

Li Gang nodded, without a trace of expression on his face, turned around and continued to walk.

Yang Zaixing thought to himself, he climbed too much all of a sudden, and there was really a lack of oxygen. I don't know how Yongguo Gong responded back then.

Yang Zaixing is also a noble person now, so naturally there is a household department that has assigned him a mansion.

The treatment of civil servants in the Jianyan Dynasty is really good, the big officials live in big houses, and the small officials live in small houses, and they also have their own place, if you want to live in a big house, you have to work hard and work hard.

Yang Zaixing went to his mansion to confirm the address, and then brought the gift he brought back from the East to visit Mrs. Qu Ping's mansion.

Steward Huang welcomed Yang Zaixing into the mansion and took him to meet the two ladies in the living room.

Yang Zaixing saw Zhao Ping'er and was surprised. Who knew that he hadn't returned for a few years, and found that there was another lady in the Yongguo Mansion! Yongguo Gong is really blessed and charming.

Yang Zaixing naturally didn't dare to ask about the identity of this other lady, and after giving the gift, he planned to go home after chatting a few words.

Zhao Ping'er stopped Yang Zaixing and asked, "General Yang has just been promoted to the throne, and in such a big mansion, I'm afraid it's still a little empty and deserted, right?" ”

Yang Zaixing didn't know what this second lady Qu meant, and replied honestly: "Yes, there are not even maids and servants yet." ”

Zhao Ping'er said: "That's not good. General Yang is often away on business, so naturally someone in the house has to be housekeeping. That's the case, General Yang might as well go to Lord Lu Ji's mansion if he is free, my lord came back from Dali back then, and brought back a person for General Yang. ”

Xiao Lu snickered: "You still remember, she is really patient." ”

Yang Zaixing didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the two ladies, so he had to accept it first: "I'll go to Lord Lu's mansion to visit when I'm free." ”

Zhao Ping'er advised: "Remember to take care of yourself a little!" ”

Yang Zaixing looked at himself, he didn't seem to be sloppy, he said, "Definitely." ”

After sending Yang Zaixing away, Xiao Lu and Zhao Ping'er smiled and said: "Miss Ah Yue is really idle, it's been almost a year, and she is still staying in Yingtian." ”

"It's fun here, and I don't think about it. Moreover, the moon looks forward to the stars, and they always have to meet each other to decide whether to go together or separately. Otherwise, when people go back to Dali, how can they explain to her father, she boasted about Haikou at the beginning! Zhao Ping'er said.
