Qu Ping pulled Li Tong and said as he walked: "The next surname is Qu, the single name is Ping, and the word is suppressed." ”

Li Tong was taken aback, it turned out to be Lord Yongguo, Lord Yongguo was made a marquis because of the war, but he didn't expect him to be so pale about culture.

Li Tong broke free, knelt down and said: "It turned out to be Lord Guogong, the small people have no eyes, many offenses, and hope to forgive their sins." ”

Li Tong's kneeling fell in Qu Ping's heart.

Qu Ping pulled him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cultural people, respect teachers, and be courteous, this is very good, but pay attention to the gold under the man's knees." ”

Li Tong said: "The adult misunderstood, what Li is kneeling down is not the noble official position of the adult, but the character of the adult." Adults are high but not arrogant, just like Qinglian can be in a pool with the sludge, and the other is impressive! ”

This heir to science can really speak!

Qu Ping looked at Li Tonggao again, and said with a smile: "Cultural people speak well." Let's go, come, get into the car of the princess, and take you to the wine of the priest of the country. ”

Li Tong was flattered and followed Qu Ping into the car, there should not be many people who are lucky enough to ride with Guogong, it seems that this time the job search is a certainty.

Qu Ping found the sacrificial wine of Guozijian and introduced Li Tong to Guozijian straight to the point.

Of course, the priest agreed with his mouth, and said: "I have heard the name of Mr. Li Tong for a long time, and I can see it today." ”

"Lord Sacrificial Wine Praise Falsely." Li Tong and Guozijian exchanged polite words, and then listened to the sacrificial wine continue to introduce the situation of Guozijian.

Guozijian provided food and accommodation for the professors and gentlemen, Qu Ping didn't have to worry about Li Tong's life, but just said casually: "There are two little dolls in the juvenile class, one is called Lu You and the other is called Zhu Shuzhen, I hope Mr. Li can give some pointers when he is free." ”

Entrusted by the national government, Li Tong naturally agreed. Although this work was requested and introduced by my master, I am afraid that it would not have been so smooth without the Lord Guogong.

Li Tong thought to himself: "With the road of Lord Guogong, it seems that the future of our science will be a bright and smooth road." ”

Li Tong entered the Guozijian, and with the recommendation of Qu Ping and Mr. Li Tong Yang Shi, he naturally would not encounter difficulties again. Qu Ping doesn't have to worry about him anymore.

Qu Ping asked Li Tong before leaving: "Mr. is very knowledgeable, knowledgeable from the past and the present, and has learned from all kinds, but I have a personal question, I don't know if Mr. is convenient to answer?" ”

Li Tong said: "My lord, please speak!" ”

"Your school doesn't advocate any three obedience and four virtues, women have to chop their hands or even kill themselves when they meet men, they can't go out, or even wrap their feet or something, right?" Qu Ping asked about an ignorant concern that had plagued his heart for a long time.

Li Tong stared at the boss in surprise and said, "How can an adult have such a strange idea?" Ethics is the principle of heaven, and what you said is something that goes against the way of heaven! ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Qu Ping said. With Li Tong's words, Qu Ping can breathe a sigh of relief for the women in the future.

Qu Ping picked up Zhu Shuzhen, got into the carriage, and asked Zhu Shuzhen: "Do you know Yang Shi and Luo Congyan?" ”

"Of course I do!" Zhu Shuzhen said eloquently, "The two of them are a group of people who represent the highest achievements of the Great Song Dynasty science, Mr. Yang learned from Ercheng and returned to Fujian, and the two Cheng elders also sighed 'I am in the south'!" Yang Lao advocated the southeast, setting off the wind of science in Fujian! ”

Zhu Shuzhen spoke eloquently, and also learned the tone of Cheng Lao's speech decently.

"You know a lot! But you used the wrong word, two people, you can't call a group of people, three people can become a crowd. Qu Ping seized Zhu Shuzhen's mistake and pulled back a city.

"Why can't the two of them become a crowd? A flower is a world, a tree is a Bodhi! Zhu Shuzhen countered Qu Ping and said, "Big brother, why don't you even know this?" I heard that you have also done poetry, and the famous "Man Jianghong" is the joint work of you and General Yue. You can't steal it from somewhere, do you? ”

Qu Ping sat upright and said solemnly: "What nonsense, no big or small." I don't know about these masters of science, because I don't care about this business, eldest brother, I am responsible for defending the country and expanding the territory for the emperor! ”

Zhu Shuzhen sneered: "Look at your chicken-claw-like words, you know that you are not a serious reader." ”

"I'm reading, not writing. Reading is to enrich one's own heart, and writing books is to enrich others' knowledge and emotions. Qu Ping retorted.

Zhu Shuzhen nodded in approval of Qu Ping's later sentence "Reading is to enrich one's heart, and writing books is to enrich others' knowledge and emotions", but she still corrected her own views and said: "Font is the attitude of life." ”

"Well, then my life is really chaotic." Qu Ping couldn't say that Zhu Shuzhen had to sigh like this.

The commanders of the various armies were ordered to return to Beijing and reported to the emperor their current situation, as well as their views and plans for the future, as well as the difficulties they were encountering at present.

Zhao Gou said: "The past few years have been a few years of rapid progress! I am deeply moved by all of your dedication to protecting the country and opening up the frontier for the community. At present, the Western Xia is attached, the Tubo Dynasty is returned, Jiaozhi is pacified, and the Ryukyus are attached, leaving only the old rival Jin State, and the Mobei grassland is not flat. If you still have any difficulties or concerns, you might as well talk about them together. Today, the top military generals are here, and everyone speaks freely! ”

Liu Guangshi's personality was more anxious, and he took the lead in asking: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to know, after the military grain fire case, if there is a big war or a long war, how long can the grain and grass support last?" ”

"Don't worry about this Aiqing, there is plenty of food in the south and Tianfu, plus the large-scale promotion of sweet potato planting, as well as the Nanyang grain from the sea, you don't have to worry about hunger at all!" Zhao Gou said with confidence.

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, sweet potatoes are currently only planted in the Great Song Dynasty, and they must not flow into other countries to increase enemy capital. ”

Qu Ping also said: "The minister seconded the proposal, if anyone brings it into another country, it should be punished as a crime of collaborating with the enemy!" At least until the world is calm, it must not flow into foreign countries. ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "I think so too. The matter was settled. ”

Han Shizhong said: "Your Majesty, the ambition of the wolf son of the Mongolian Ministry for generations, although he is attached to it for benefit now, it is difficult to ensure that he has the heart of disobedience!" "Jing Ai Books

Zhao Gou glanced at Qu Ping and replied, "The Mongolian Ministry didn't cause us trouble, it just helped us a lot. Of course, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and it is also necessary to make a plan to guard against the failure of the Mongolian ministry. ”

Wu Jue said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are brave. The cannon is the important weapon of the country, and it is unique to the Gyeonggi Road Army, so I am afraid that there is a feeling that it is useless to put it on the shelf. The frontier armies are facing a great enemy at any time, and the ministers are brave and willing to ask the emperor to distribute cannons to the armies, so as to boost the morale of the army with solid military strength! ”

Qu Ping was really prescient, otherwise it would have been a bit tricky for things to happen suddenly.

Zhao Gou said: "What Wu Aiqing said is not unreasonable, but because the number of cannons is limited, it is difficult to distribute them everywhere. I have established a new Divine Machine Battalion, an army dedicated to the use of firearms, under the command of me myself, and the Duke of Yongguo is waiting for the time being. ”

When the generals heard the emperor say this, they sighed in their hearts, or the fortune is not enough!

"Aiqing, rest assured, when our R&D technology comes up in the future, I will definitely make it rain and dew evenly, and equip every army and even every city! The cannon must gather firepower, and the power will be great if it is used in one place, and we monarchs and ministers must also think in one place! "Zhao Gou Jinkou Yuyan, first draw a big cake.

Since the cannon has been owned by the emperor, everyone naturally has nothing to say, and only hopes that the day when it will be wet with rain and dew will come soon.

Wu Jue was ashamed and said: "The emperor is sage, and the ministers are ashamed." ”

"Aiqing doesn't need to be ashamed, Aiqing's wish is also the driving force for my struggle!" Zhao said.

Wu Jue's heart is a little wider, and the emperor should not care.

Zhao Gou asked Yue Fei, "Does General Yue have any ideas?" ”

Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Obey the emperor's orders." ”

Zhao Gou asked Wu Lan again: "Does General Wu Lan have any matters?" General Wu has the heaviest burden on his body, and he has three newly harvested realms to guard against, such as Tubo, Yunnan, and Jiaozhi. ”

Wu Lan said: "Thank you for the emperor's mercy. Tubo is newly decided, and the personnel sent to Tubo to participate in politics and teaching are also in the past, and the minister has no requirements for the time being. ”

Zhao Gou nodded, General Wu Xuan was still more knowledgeable than his brother Wu Jue.

"Qu Aiqing doesn't have anything to say?" Zhao asked Qu Ping.

Qu Ping said: "The minister is a brick of the emperor, where you need to move it." ”

Qu Ping's metaphor is fresh, so that the generals are refreshed and embarrassed, in terms of sycophants, Qu Ping is still a good shot!

Zhao Gou was very relieved, this is a model of an excellent courtier. Zhao Gou said: "I encourage Aiqing together, after pacifying the north, our monarchs and ministers will seal Mount Tai again and worship the princes!" ”

In November of the sixth year of Jianyan, the sky was clear, there were 400 monarchs and ministers, and the soldiers were not counted, and they were sacrificed to Mount Tai together, in order to seek the peace of the country and the people, and the merits of the future. Zhao ordered to build the roadbed and build a sealing platform on the top of the mountain for the future.

Zhao Gou stood on Mount Tai, facing the sun, against the cold wind, and said proudly: "I have thought about it, on the top of this mountain, I will be sealed in the sky, and then I will be given to all Aiqing, heaven and earth know together, and the gods will learn together!" ”

Qu Ping thought to himself, it was like a god list, I didn't know if I could protect the Song Dynasty for 500 years.

This Taishan sacrifice is just a rehearsal before the future sealing of Zen, and the action point stops, and there is not much to say.

There is still a month to go before the Chinese New Year, and Zhao Gou invited everyone to bring their families to Beijing and have a lively New Year together.

The emperor gave officials above the fourth rank to have official residences in Kyoto, so that foreign affairs officials would have a sense of belonging in the capital.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the sixth year of Jianyan, all officials and their wives above the fifth rank in Beijing, as well as foreign envoys in Beijing, received an invitation from the emperor to attend a state banquet.

Duan Zhengxing, the king of Yunnan, the prince of the Ryukyus, Chen Tai, the envoy of the Western Xia, the special envoy of the Mongolian Ministry Heda'an, the special envoy of Tibet, the prince of Japan, and the special envoy Ryujiro Sakagami were all present.

This New Year, the monarch and the minister are happy, and the country is shared.

At the state banquet, Zhao Gou and Wu Guifei sat on the top of the high platform, with two rows of ministers, envoys and wives sitting on the left and right below, stretching for nearly two miles. The maids are at the side of the table and are ready to serve. The lights are bright and green, the brocade clothes and hats, and the scene is very grand.

Zhao Gou said a congratulatory speech gorgeously:

"Since I ascended the throne at the request of the order, I have been blessed with all of you Aiqing as the Sheji, painstakingly working hard, smearing the liver and brain, and sticking knives in both ribs, and I will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire. I am here, on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, on behalf of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and I would like to thank you Aiqing. I wish that peace will be passed on forever, and harmony will be preserved for thousands of years. ”

The envoys of the ministers said in unison: "Long live the emperor!" ”

Zhao Gou raised his glass and said: "This first cup of wine, I respect heaven and earth, may the world be the same, and all the people will be happy!" ”

Zhao Gou poured the wine into the heavens and the earth, and when the waiter poured the second cup of wine, he said, "The second cup, I respect all Aiqing, and I hope that the monarchs and ministers will work together to protect the peace of the country and the people!" ”

After saying that, Yang Tian did it.

Seeing this, the ministers followed and toasted a glass of Chinese wine.

Zhao Gou then raised the third cup: "The third cup, I respect the tens of thousands of soldiers and people, and thank you for your trust and support!" ”

After speaking, he drank a glass of Chinese wine in the air.

All civil and military officials, representatives of soldiers and people, toasted one after another.
