The old master gave a salute first, and then said, "The old man is not a bystander, but Meng You of Mengjia Village, who is also a person in the officialdom, and then sees through the rights and wrongs of officialdom, and lives in seclusion here to teach and educate people."

The old man just saw that the two of you seemed to want to defect to this Tianxiang Academy, and he was worried that you would go down the wrong path and Mingzhu secretly surrendered, so he came to dissuade you. ”

Zhao Fujin looked at Meng You, and felt that he saw those gentlemen who were disciplining him in the palace, and couldn't help but want to tease him, and asked, "Meng Xuexue, you said that our going to Tianxiang Academy is an evil path, so I don't know where the bright road is?" ”

Meng You snorted and said, "Kong said Chengren, Meng said righteousness, in the past Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, Qin was strong by law, swept the six countries, unified the eight wildernesses, but died in the second, why is this?" Benevolence and righteousness do not give!

In the past, the Yan Han Dynasty overthrew the hundred schools of thought, respected Confucianism alone, and there were twenty-four generations, twice Zhongxing!

It can be seen from this that only the prosperity of Confucianism can make the world peaceful, and all dynasties have also promoted Confucianism to govern the country.

And this Tianxiang Academy, hehe, although it is not that it does not teach Confucianism, but it juxtaposes Confucianism with those nine streams, and also teaches people how to do business and work, and also instigates the people to go to sea. Wouldn't such behavior be reckless!

Isn't such a place a place for crooked ways? ”

Zhao Jinluo asked puzzledly, "If there is such a big danger in going to sea, then why should anyone go to sea?" ”

"Hehe, why else, to lure it!" Meng You shouted: "Aren't you two awake yet? Do you want to be like those mediocre people? ”

As he spoke, Meng You waved his sleeves and said with a high-ranking look, "That's it, the old man has a school outside Mengjia Village, if you wake up, come to find the old man." ”

After speaking, Zhao Jinluo and the others saw Meng You turn around and run away, where does that speed look like an old master, he is simply a strong man.

"Hey, this old man is pretty fast."

Zhao Fujin turned around when he heard the sound and saw two men in black uniforms walking out of Tianxiang Academy with sticks in their hands.

"Hey, who are you?" Zhao Fujin asked.

The man in black looked at the two of them and replied, "We are the security guards of Tianxiang Academy, just now the old man Meng was talking to you, don't believe his nonsense, he comes every day to trick our students to learn his salient water, what nonsense about life and death, wealth in the sky, what kind of pedant is he, haven't you heard of the prince and general Xiangning have a kind of?" ”

Confucianism is not immutable, starting from Dong Zhongshu, Confucianism has constantly transformed itself in order to better win the favor of the rulers.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, Confucianism began to absorb the metaphysical ideas of Buddhism and Taoism, and Qing Tan flourished, but soon people found that metaphysics could not solve practical problems, and Confucianism began to change further.

To the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism were prosperous, Confucianism began to absorb Buddhism and Taoism to form Neo-Confucianism, to the Northern Song Dynasty Renzong period, the world became more and more prosperous, and once-in-a-century geniuses sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, among which Zhou Dunyi created the Taoist school, Shao Yong created the mathematical school, Shen Yan, Hou Ke, Zhang Zai founded the Qi school, and because the backbone of them are Guanzhong people, they are called Guanxue, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi created the school of science, also known as Luoxue, in addition, Wang Anshi created Xinxue, Sima Guang created the Shushui school, Sun Fu created the Taishan School, and Hu Ying created the Anding School, which can be said to be a forest of schools, each with its own merits.

At this time, above the court, because of the problem of the old and new party disputes, Wang Anshi's new school has the most lofty status and is positioned as an official school.

On the other hand, the Lianshui School, which was identified as the old party school, was naturally suppressed.

Speaking of which, another important reason for the failure of Wang Anshi's reform in the past was that Wang Anshi vigorously suppressed other schools, so that other schools had to unite and fight against the new school.

As the emperor who came out of the palace, Zhao Jinluo and Zhao Fujin were both people who studied Xinxue since childhood, and the view of Xinxue was just the opposite of that of the Lianshui School, which believed that 'governing the world is like a living room, and if it is not a big evil, it will not be changed', that is, it is opposed to the use of great social changes to rectify the society, and Xinxue believes that 'the mandate of heaven is not enough to fear, and the ancestors are not enough to law, From the point of view of later generations, the two are not incompatible, but in this era, fire and water cannot coexist.

Therefore, when they knew that the old scholar just now was from the Shushui School, Zhao Jinluo and the others suddenly lost their good feelings.

"By the way, what do you guys do? Are you here to apply for a school? The man in black asked again.

Zhao Jinluo took out a letter from the package and said, "We are here to apply for Xixi, this is a letter of introduction issued to us by the shopkeeper of Qionglouyue in Kaifeng Mansion, he said that he knows the mountain chief of your academy. ”

"Our mountain chief?" The man in black looked at it and said, "Please wait a while, two sons." ”

After saying that, the man in black ran in with the letter.

"What a rude fellow, he didn't even invite us in to sit down." Zhao Fujin stomped his feet angrily.

"Hey, don't be rude, fourth brother, let's take a look around first, you see, there are a lot of stalls around here." Zhao Jinluo looked around and said curiously.

Due to the large number of students in Tianxiang College, although the food in the college is good, there are still people who like to eat and drink outside, and there are some other needs such as pen and ink, so there are many stalls outside Tianxiang College that have been set up, and Shi Wenbin, who has become the prefect of Yunzhou, is also very supportive of such things to invigorate the economy.

Zhao Jinluo and the others walked to a stall, and when they saw that it was selling books, they couldn't help but flip it up, and found that many of the books in it had never been seen.

"Preliminary Theory of Physics", "Navigation of a Hundred Kingdoms", "Theory of Nature", "Geometric Originals".... Who wrote this? Why haven't I seen it? I've read this "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". Zhao Jinluo asked curiously.

The bookseller owner is a young scholar, he looked at the book, and said with a smile, "These are all books from Tianxiang Academy, it is said that many of them are translations of books from the Western Regions and other places, and some students carelessly drop the books, so they will come to me to buy a book for class, and some students from other places come here to buy books, as a strange talk and miscellaneous theory."

I see that my brother is not very old, and he has actually read "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", which is already rare. ”

"No wonder Mr. said that this Tianxiang Academy teaches all strange theories, sure enough, third brother, you see, this book says that the world is like a chicken egg, the sun is hundreds of times larger than the earth, and it feels small only because of the distance, isn't this the same as a joke?" Zhao Fujin looked at the book and giggled.

The bookseller was not happy, and said, "Why is Little Brother Tai preconceived? If you have not verified it, how do you know that what is said in the book is all a joke? ”

Zhao Fujin was not convinced, and snorted, "If this world is really the same as chicken eggs, then what should the people under the chicken eggs do?" Can't fly yet? ”

The bookseller took out a book and threw it to Zhao Fujin and said, "The answer you want to know is in this book, there is a force in this earth, called gravity, and because of this gravity, no matter where you are on the earth, you will be sucked to the ground, and your feet will not fly."

What's more, the earth circle has been said since ancient times, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng's "Armillary Sphere Annotation" said, "The armillary sky is like a chicken." The celestial bodies are round like projectiles, and the earth is like a chicken in the middle of the yellow, living alone, the sky is big and the earth is small. There is water in the heavens. The sky and the earth, the shell is wrapped in yellow', you don't read much, and you laugh at everyone's words, which is really spitting. ”

Zhao Fujin was a little red-faced when he was said, and just as he wanted to refute, he heard someone behind him laugh and said, "Lu He, do you know that the person in front of you is a new gentleman in the future academy, do you want to study in the academy in the future." ”

Lu He hurriedly got up and saluted behind Zhao Fujin, "I've seen the mountain chief." ”

Zhao Fujin and the others turned around and saw a middle-aged man who was less than fifty, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "The two gentlemen are Zhao Luo mentioned in the letter of the shopkeeper Yue, Zhao Fu, right?" Sure enough, it is a young man, I am Zhou Tao, the mountain chief of Yunzhou Tianxiang College, and the shopkeeper Yue said that you are proficient in new learning, and you can join the company after being tested by several gentlemen in the academy. ”

Zhao Jinluo and Zhao Fujin hurriedly thanked happily, Zhao Fujin looked at Lu He and snorted, "Your name is Lu He?" Do you want to enroll in the academy too? ”

Zhou Tao said with a smile, "Lu Dalang is not a mortal, he was born in the Lu family of Wu County, and he is a famous family, he doesn't want to study, but he is already a student of the Third Academy of my Tianxiang Academy, and he is extremely smart." ”

"Three Courtyards?" Zhao Jinluo asked suspiciously.

Zhou Tao nodded and said, "My Tianxiang College is divided into six colleges, three small colleges, Lu Dalang is a student of the three colleges of the College of Literature, the School of Law, and the College of Science, and he has been the first in the three colleges in seven consecutive monthly examinations. ”

"So powerful?" Zhao Fujin couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

Zhao Jinluo had to read more than Zhao Fujin, thought about it and asked, "But the descendants of Huai Tangerine?" ”

Lu He blushed a little and said, "The family has been defeated so far, I don't dare to say anything about my ancestors." ”

The so-called Huai Tangerine is talking about Lu Ji, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Ji, who was only six years old, went to visit Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu met him and gave him oranges to eat, but Lu Ji was reluctant to eat it, and hid three to take it back, but it fell out when he said goodbye, Yuan Shu asked him why, Lu Ji replied because he thought that his mother at home had not tasted it, and was regarded as one of the twenty-four filial pieties by later generations.

And Lu Ji came from the Lu family of Wu County, this family has been famous for generations, there are Lu Ji, Lu Xun and others in the late Han Dynasty, Lu Ji and Lu Yun in the Western Jin Dynasty, Lu Deming, Lu Zhen, Lu Xisheng and others in the Tang Dynasty, but under the Huangchao uprising in the late Tang Dynasty, the family was completely defeated, and the Lu family fled to Fuzhou to avoid chaos.

"Since you are a famous family, you should have a family tradition, why did you come here?" Zhao Jinluo asked puzzled.

Lu Ji said with a smile, "Since ancient times, it is better to read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, such as only learning the knowledge of the sages thousands of years ago, and not learning the new knowledge at this time, what is the meaning of this thousand years of time?" ”

Zhao Jinluo couldn't help but be a little stupid when he heard this.

"Okay, two Zhao Langjun, we are in the advanced academy, while walking, I will introduce our academy to you." Zhou Tao took Zhao Jinluo and others into the college, and as soon as he entered the college, he first saw a big stone with the words "Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, the terrain is good, and the gentleman is carrying things with virtue"

Further inside, you will see several small three-story buildings half-surrounded by a large playground, followed by regular two-story buildings.

"These three-story buildings are our colleges, the two floors behind are the dormitories, and there are also a few courtyards, where the Xixi people live, the two red buildings over there are places to eat, and the black buildings over there are libraries." Zhou Tao briefly introduced.

"Mountain Chief, you just said that Lu He will go to the main courtyard of Tianxiang Academy in a few more days, I don't know where it is?" Zhao Jinluo asked as he walked.

Zhou Tao touched his beard and said, "I don't know the origin of our Tianxiang Academy, do the two gentlemen know?" ”

Zhao Jinluo said: "It seems to have originated from Neihuang. ”

Zhou Tao nodded and said, "That's right, our Tianxiang Academy first originated from Neihuang, and at first it was just that Jiang Xiaolangjun wanted to cultivate some bookkeepers."

Later, sages continued to join the college, and gradually became the current six major colleges and three elementary colleges.

But in the final analysis, the foundation of our Tianxiang College is too shallow, and now Tianxiang College has it in Neihuang, Daimyofu, Yunzhou, Qingzhou and other places, but the teachers are insufficient, and these places are called branches in our interior.

If there are outstanding talents in the branches of various places, they will be selected to be sent to the Tianxiang Academy in Heungin Province, which is one of the first Tianxiang Academy, and there are also forbidden guards next to it, which we call the General Academy.

Only where can you learn some advanced courses. ”

Zhao Jinluo and the others nodded, indicating that they understood.

"By the way, Jiang Xiaolang is going to have a class today, do you want to listen to it?" Zhou Tao said suddenly.

"Jiang Xiaolang? Jiang Zijun? "Zhao Jinluo's mind appeared a person who had woken him up in countless nights, would that person also appear?

"Yes, it's Jiang Zijun, I'll go over the lecture hall later." Zhou Tao nodded.

"Interesting, let's go listen to it." Zhao Fujin said with interest.

Zhao Jinluo snorted, which made Zhao Fujin feel that something was wrong, and he couldn't say what was wrong.

Coming to the trapezoidal classroom, there were already a lot of people sitting inside, Zhao Jinluo glanced at it, there were about three or four hundred people, and secretly calculated in his heart, all the Tianxiang Academies added up to probably two or three thousand people, and unconsciously, Tianxiang Academy has become a big force.

You must know that at this time, there are only 3,000 Taixue students in Taixue, that is to say, in terms of scale, Tianxiang Academy has become the second largest institution after Taixue.

Of course, as long as the students of Tai Academy graduate from the upper house, they will have a Jinshi background and be appointed to an official position, which Tianxiang Academy cannot compare with in this regard.

"Jiang Shan has grown!" A shout rang out, everyone stopped talking, looked at the door, and the group walked in with a smile.

"Without him..."Zhao Jinluo looked around and thought with some disappointment.

"Ahh That's not what anyone can tell a story, he's like this now! Zhao Fujin whispered to Zhao Jinluo.

"Haven't you grown up too?" Zhao Jinluo said with a smile.

Jiang De walked to the podium, glanced at the audience, and soon found Zhao Jinluo and the others, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, Zhao Jinluo and his wife were charming, and it was difficult to hide it in men's clothes in time, but fortunately, they were beautiful men in the Song Dynasty, and when they saw the two of them like this, many people would think that they were just boys and girls.

Jiang De saw everyone looking at him, first said an opening sentence, then turned around, picked up the chalk and squeaked a few big words on the blackboard.

"The Kingdom and the World"

Everyone looked at these four words and couldn't help but start talking.

"Can anyone tell me what the country is and what the world is?" Jiang De asked.

Many people raised their hands, Jiang De pointed to a person, and the person got up and replied, "Student Yunjun has seen Mr., "Zhou Li" has clouds, the big is called the state, the small is the country, and the place where the state lives is also called the country. "Shangshu" has clouds, and there are four seas, which is the king of the world. Therefore, the country is small, the world is big, the four seas are the world, and the country with a king is the country. ”

Jiang De nodded, asked him to sit down, and said, "It is worthy of being a frequent visitor to the top three of the Academy of Letters, and I am familiar with the four books and five classics, which is very good, but what you just said is all about picking up the wisdom of the predecessors, can anyone have a new understanding?" ”

Immediately fewer people raised their hands, innovation is always the hardest thing in the world, but there are still a few people.

Jiang De pointed to another person.

"Student Lu He has seen Mr., the world said, since ancient times, in the past, Zhou destroyed the Shang, divided the state to build the country, Zhou Tianzi is the co-lord of the world, it can be seen that the country is the foundation of the world. What is the country, the meat eater seeks it, the country is not a sacrifice of the dead family, but the world is not the world of a family, the Wei Dynasty Han, the Jin Dynasty Wei, and even the Zhou Dynasty of this dynasty can be said to have died in the country, but it has no impact on the people.

The world is not the same, the world is not the world of one family, it should be the world of the people of the world, and the turmoil in the world will make the people uneasy, so the things related to the people are the affairs of the world, and the things that have nothing to do with the people are the affairs of the state. ”

Jiang De nodded again and asked, "What is the difference between the country and the imperial court?" Can the country perish, but the world perish? ”

As soon as this question was raised, there was a burst of discussion.

Zhao Fujin thought for a while and said to Zhao Jinluo, "Third brother, will our Song Kingdom also die?" ”

Zhao Jinluo's face was a little unsightly, but he still nodded and said, "Thousands of generations are just those literati who deceive people, where is there a thousand-year-old dynasty?" Han, who was twice in time for Zhongxing, eventually died. ”

Jiang De saw that someone raised his hand, so he nodded, and the man got up and said, "Student Li He thinks that since ancient times, there has only been the death of the country, how can the world be destroyed?" The change of dynasty, the cycle of heaven, aren't the people still scattered in the four fields?

As for the imperial court, it is the backbone of the country, the people are the flesh and blood of the country, the mediocrity of the court is sick in the heart, and the rebellion of the mob is sick in the flesh and blood, the disease of flesh and blood can be treated, and the disease of the heart and intestines is difficult to treat. ”

Jiang De nodded, and then asked, "Then if you are an official, are you loyal to the imperial court?" Or loyalty to the country? Or is it loyal to the world? ”

The crowd began to think again.

Although China is one of the earliest countries to be established and is also the earliest nation to be formed, in fact, China's concept of nationality and country was established very late in the world, even during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were still a large number of people who thought that the Japanese came just to change an emperor, and that in the past, the Manchurians could sit on China's country, and the Japanese could naturally do it, and even at the beginning of the 21 st century, there were still people who complained about why China was not colonized by the West and why the War of Resistance against Japan had to be won, otherwise they could be Japanese, Americans, and British, anyway, you don't have to be a Chinese who can't even go to Facebook.

"If the mountain chief has such a saying, there will be the sound of bells and drums, and please teach me." Du He thought about it, got up and bowed.

Everyone also stood up and bowed, "Please teach me, sir." ”

Zhao Jinluo and the others saw that everyone was up, and they didn't know whether to get up or not, but Jiang De didn't give them time, but returned the salute, and then said, "The country, the people's place of peace, the court, and the person who holds the authority of the country." If you love the people, you will win the country. The remnants of the people will fall into their court. It is based on the ancients: the people of the domain do not use the boundaries of the frontier, the country does not take the risk of mountains and streams, and the world does not take the benefits of the military revolution. Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. The widow is helpless, and the relatives are beside them; If you help more, the world will follow it. With the world's obedience, attack the relatives of the side, so the gentleman does not fight, the battle will be won.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, scholars have only the imperial court, not the state. This is a great fallacy of sacrificing the original and the end, and the sage said that this society refers to the state rather than the court. Therefore, there are people who are precious, social society is secondary, and the king is light. The court and the country are like hair and skin, which are shed in spring and born in autumn, and the hair is damaged but the skin is not hurt. It is the replacement of the imperial court, such as the withering of grass and trees, the Qin to the Han Xing, the Sui to the Tang Dynasty, this is the way of heaven!

What is the world, for our Huaxia people, Huaxia is the world, this world is a small world, and the big world should be the world of all countries, but all countries are far away from us, so we can not care for the time being, just say this small world.

Summer, Daya. China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua, and the Chinese are also the place where the wise and wise live. All things are used for the gathering, the sages are taught, the benevolence and righteousness are given, and the poems, books, rituals and music are also used. All the people of China are the people of the world.

Therefore, there is a dead country, and there is also a dead world, and the dead country and the dead world ridicule? changed the surname and changed the name, and said that it was a dead country; Benevolence and righteousness are filled, and then lead beasts to eat people, and it is said that they will die in the world. Therefore, know to protect the world, and then know to protect the country. Those who defend the country seek it by their kings and ministers, and those who eat meat. Those who protect the world are cheap and responsible.

In a word, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! ”

Jiang De's words stunned everyone, some people felt scared when they heard it, and kept looking around, some people only felt suddenly enlightened when they heard it, remembering something from time to time, and some people only felt that their blood was surging, and they just wanted to shoot the case.

"This is the debate between the death of the country and the death of the world, you can think about it for yourself, and leave the class." Jiang De nodded and announced the end of the class.

"Sir, I still have questions!"

"Sir, please stay and solve the students' confusion."

Many people hurriedly stepped forward and continued to discuss with Jiang De, but Zhao Jinluo and the others sat in their positions, but did not get up.

"Third brother... He.. Is that right? Zhao Fujin asked with some hesitation.

Zhao Jinluo nodded after a long time, shook his head again, and said, "I don't know...."

Zhao Fujin looked at the figure who was overwhelmed by the crowd and couldn't help but feel a little stupid.

After a long time, Zhou Tao let the students disperse, and Jiang De and others got together to talk.

"These students are good, very young and very energetic." Jiang De praised Zhou Tao on the side, "Tianxiang College here in Yunzhou has been open for less than two years, can there be today's achievements, Zhou Shanchang has worked hard and made great achievements, has Brother Zhou ever written?" ”

Zhou Tao was also one of the first literati to teach at Tianxiang College in the past, and Zhou Xiaoge was Zhou Tao's second son, who was arranged by Jiang De to deal with cotton matters in the northwest, named Zhou Wang.

Zhou Tao touched his beard and said angrily, "The letter came, when the Western Army entered the Central Plains, his letter came with it."

He fell in love with a girl in the northwest, saying that the distance was far away, and he had married first, and then came to ask the old man for guilt in the future. This marriage event, being the master of the parents, really me off. ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but smile again, "But although that girl is from an average background, she is also innocent, and she is pregnant. ”

"That's going to have to be congratulated." Jiang De and the others laughed.

After chatting a few more words, Jiang De looked back at Zhao Fujin and the others who were listening to the discussion, and said, "You have to take good care of these two people, don't let them go, don't let them be hurt, and if there is a special situation, send a letter to the mountain immediately." ”

"Xiao Langjun rest assured, there will be no mistakes." Although Zhou Tao didn't know who these two were, he could understand the importance of letting Jiang De come here.

"Okay, I'll leave later, organize more discussions among students in the past few days to discuss whether the court of the family is important or the world is important, pay attention to the students' remarks, and guide the students to Mencius." Jiang De commanded again.

"Does Xiao Langjun want to establish a school?" Zhou Tao asked.

Jiang De nodded and shook his head, and said, "Our Tianxiang Academy used to be like a rabbit, it was easy to hide, but now, like a cow, although it can hide in the grass, it is already difficult to hide.

The current Confucian school can be divided into more than 10 coarse, and the subdivisions can be as many as nearly 100.

Take your time, an idea, a school of thought is not so easy to create, not to mention that we still have so many things that do not belong to Confucianism. ”

Zhou Tao asked again, "If we really build a new school, what should we call it?" ”

Jiang De thought for a while and said, "Our Tianxiang College is not only Confucianism, other colleges are equally important, our college is set up by discipline, the core of our school should be a kind of thought, this kind of thinking should be applicable in all disciplines... Let's call it science. ”

——

Time flies, Jiang De wanders among various colleges, hoping to establish a new idea that can replace the current Confucianism in the future, so as to find a theoretical basis for the future change of dynasty, and the pattern of the world has also undergone new changes.

- Huanglong Mansion

"In this way, the Song Kingdom can't send troops, right?" Ah Guda looked at Zhao Liangsi who was standing below with dissatisfaction and said.

Zhao Liangsi took a breath and said, "Isn't it a matter of one day to destroy Liao, my Song country has millions of soldiers and horses, whether it is mobilization or preparation of grain and grass, it will take time...."

"Enough!" Ah Guda waved his hand and shouted, "You Song people want benefits, but you don't want to send troops, what's the use of just talking this nonsense?" ”

One person came out and shouted, "What soldiers and horses are millions? Is there a shortage of soldiers and horses in Liao? It's not like we've been beaten by our Jin Country! I think the soldiers and horses of your Song State may be inferior to the Liao State. We only need 10,000 people, and we can beat your 1 million! ”

"That's right, if you form an alliance, you have to look like an alliance, what is it if you don't send troops?" Someone else said.

Zhao Liangsi glanced around, and saw that all the ministers of the Jin State were dissatisfied, so he hurriedly said, "Send troops, naturally send troops, but we still need a year to send troops, and Liao State has gathered heavy troops in Yanyun, and you need to send troops first, so that our country can take Yanyun." ”

"A year? A year from now, I'm afraid we'll all have to hit Nanjing, Liao! Ah Guda shook his head and said, "This soldier is very fast, how can he wait another year?" Aren't you Song Kingdom extremely rich? Why does it take a year to prepare a little grain and grass? ”

Zhao Liangsi bowed and said, "Our sergeants are not as good as your country, your country's sergeants are all on the horse for the army, dismounted for the people, most of the grain, grass and ordnance are brought by themselves, our sergeants are all recruited, grain, grass and ordnance are all supplied by the state, so it will naturally take a longer time." ”

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, it makes no difference whether the Song State sends troops or not, but the fighter plane is lost and will not come." Jerod also came out of the way.

Ah Guda nodded and said, "That makes sense, Song Envoy, you go back and tell your emperor that if you still want Yan Yun, you will send an army to fetch it yourself, and I will wait for us to take it, but I won't return it to you!" ”

Zhao Liangsi had no choice but to return to the Song Dynasty first.

In December of the second year of Xuanhe, Aguda decided to attack Liao, and worshiped Yan Xian as the commander-in-chief, and Yan Yu, Zong Han and other deputies, with Yelu Yudu as the vanguard, and attacked Zhongjing in Liao.

-- Huangshan Dock Ship Tip Bright Top

Fang La looked at the people below and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Just a few days ago, the jade claw dragon Chenggui, who commanded the wind department, was also killed by the Song army, and Chen Shixi, one of the eight scattered people, was plotted by traitors and was captured alive in Bianjing, where he was said to be Ling Chi.

From the incident to the present, it has not been a year, and the Basan people have gone to three, and Fang La has a feeling that the general trend has gone.

"Sect Leader Zhong... Any news? Fang La looked at Zu Shiyuan and asked.

"Back to the Holy Father, Sect Master Zhong replied that he was against this incident in the first place, so he would not send troops to rescue us, and advised us to hide in the mountains and forests and wait for the opportunity..."

"Traitor!" Fang La roared loudly, "The Holy Sect has reached such a time, does he still want to be a watcher?" ”

After speaking, Fang La covered his chest, took a breath and sat down, and asked, "What else do you have in mind?" ”

Several people looked at each other, all with a helpless face, the reason why the Mingjiao uprising was able to sweep Jiangnan, there are two most important reasons, one is that the people of Jiangnan have been suffering for a long time, and the other is that Jiangnan has been peaceful for a long time, and there are no elite generals, most of them are the box army that has not been in the battle array, but now they are fighting with the Western Army in the northwest for many years, and the people of Jiangnan cannot give Mingjiao any support in front of these Western armies.

"Holy Father, for the sake of today's plan, you should look for foreign aid again." Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Foreign aid? Where? Fang La squinted and asked.

Fang Yuan said, "One near and one far, far away is Liaoguo, near Liangshan." ”

"I've got the news before, the Liao State is too busy to take care of itself, how can you save me? As for Liangshan, Jiang Xinzhi only wants to be the dog of Zhao Guan's family, if it weren't for him, how could Hangzhou's tens of millions of grain and grass be lost? Fang La said angrily.

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "It is precisely because of the incident in Hangzhou that the old minister thinks that Liangshan is not of the same mind as the Song Kingdom. If it is one heart, then in the last battle of Hangzhou, what the Liangshan army should do is not to move our money and food, but to defend the city of Hangzhou and block the way back of our army.

After all, the Liangshan army was born as a thief, and Liangshan was very close to Kaifeng, how could the Song court tolerate such an army that did not obey the orders of the court in such a close place? ”

When Fang La heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay, who is the right person to go?" ”

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said, "At this time, Lou Zuo's envoy is still needed, and the holy woman also needs to go." ”

"What do you want the Holy Maiden to do?" Lou Min asked puzzled.

"If you want to invite Liangshan to start an incident, I am afraid it will be difficult to use only words, and ask the Holy Father to marry the Holy Maiden to the lord of Liangshan, Jiang Xinzhi, Marquis of Pingyin, only in this way can Liangshan send troops." Fang Yuan said.

"What? How can the Holy Maiden be betrothed to Liangshan? Suddenly, someone was reluctant to move.

Fang Yuan looked back and said, "Marry the holy woman to Jiang Xinzhi, not only to talk about it, but we also have to write a marriage book, prepare a gift, and put it in the most conspicuous place on this bright top, please ask Lou Zuo to tell Jiang Xinzhi that if our Mingjiao is destroyed, the next target of the Western Army must be him!" ”

Only then did everyone understand, and they couldn't help nodding secretly.

- Daimyo's Mansion

"You mean to say that a lot of people have been spying on our property lately?" Jiang De touched his chin and asked, "Did you find out who it was?" ”

In the Qiong Building of the Daimyo's Mansion, several shopkeepers who had been summoned were reporting to Jiang De about the situation in various places.

"The little ones don't know, but there are all over the place."

Jiang De waved his hand, and after letting them go down, he asked Shi Qian next to him, "Have you found any news?" ”

Shi Qian replied, "There are indeed some anomalies recently, but I haven't found a heel, or there are many passers-by. ”

"Strange, how did this find us?" Jiang De thought about it puzzled.

"Xiao Langjun, the left-behind mansion has sent a message, let Xiao Langjun go to the banquet." Li Zhong came in and said to Jiang De.

Jiang De nodded and said, "Okay, since it's a family banquet, you can go with me, Shi Qian, go and find out more, you must know who the other party is." ”

"Obey!"

——

"You conscienceless, how long has it been since you came to see your aunt?" Mrs. Cai, who was dressed in wealth, snorted dissatisfiedly, "If you don't come again, I will think that you are looking at the princess and the prime minister, and I don't look down on your aunt." ”

In a private seat, Jiang De poured a glass of wine with a smiling face, and said, "What did my aunt say, Zijun can have today, one-third of it is due to the care of his aunt and uncle-in-law, one-third is due to the care of the Taishi, and one-third is favored by the official, the kid understands it very well." ”

As he spoke, Jiang De looked at Liang Shijie, who was a little sick on the side, and asked, "Uncle, your face looks a little uncomfortable, if you are uncomfortable, don't eat this wine." ”

Mrs. Cai also looked at Liang Shijie worriedly, Liang Shicheng smiled, poured a glass and said, "The good wine you specially brought, don't say that I'm not sick, but I'm really sick, just drink a cup, and it's fine!" ”

"You'd better drink less." Mrs. Cai couldn't help but persuade.

"It's okay, happy, happy!" Liang Shijie took another sip, put down the wine glass and said, "Zijun, when you go back to the Daimyo Mansion this time, you will stay for a while longer and accompany your aunt, she misses you strangely."

Recently, there has been a riot in the world, so don't run around if you have nothing to do. ”

Jiang De sighed, "Yes, although the rebellions in Hebei, Huaixi and other places have been quelled, the Jiangnan Rebellion has not been extinguished, and I heard that Liaodi is not peaceful, but the northwest has quieted down." ”

Liang Shijie sighed: "Speaking of this Liaodi, if it weren't for the question of whether to attack Liao, Taishi would not have been dismissed."

Since the resignation of the Taishi, the old man's performance has not been less, but fortunately, the official family has remembered the old feelings, and some old friends in the court and China have helped him, plus the property you gave to open the way, so that this stay can be saved. ”

Jiang De took a bite of the dish and asked, "The matter that the imperial court is going to attack Yanyun is now spreading in the officialdom, can it be spread?" So is the Liao State already on guard? ”

Liang Shijie shook his head and said, "The ancients, the king does not lose his ministers, and the ministers do not lose their bodies, how can such an important matter be known to the world?"

As for the Liao State, hehe, the key to this battle lies in the battle between Jin and Liao, as for whether Yan Yun is on guard, I have to take it, isn't it? ”

Jiang De nodded secretly, later generations felt that Song Guo did not stand in the right position at the critical moment of the two general changes, in fact, he looked at these problems from the perspective of later generations, if in the eyes of the world, what Song Guo did was really correct.

Song State after the Shenzong change to become stronger, the country is actually constantly getting stronger, to the Huizong period, in the battle against the Western Xia, although there are victories and defeats, but in the national strength competition, the Western Xia has completely lost the land of Hengshan, the Song State not only occupies an absolute advantage, but also restored the Longyou Protectorate lost since the Tang Dynasty, in the foreign war, the Song State is not without confidence.

And for the Liao State, the land of Yanyun is like Jiangnan for the Song State, it is a source of wealth that must not be lost, if the Song State helps the Liao State, it will be difficult to get the land of Yanyun back, not to mention, the next target of the Jin State is definitely the Song State.

For the Song State, it is the most reasonable strategy to jointly attack the Liao State, seize strategic places, and try to live in peace with the Jin State while reorganizing the army for war.

And later, the Southern Song Dynasty could confront the Jin State, and it was found that the Song State was not without combat power, but Zhao Gou and others were really mediocre and ridiculous, and the chaotic command implemented a good strategy to the point of destroying the country.

The Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty summarized the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty and believed that Wang Anshi was guilty, but he spoke with his eyes closed, which was equivalent to thinking that it was only Qin Hui who killed Yue Fei, ignoring the sins of the supreme ruler.

Liang Shijie glanced at Mrs. Cai again, hinted at it, and Mrs. Cai got up and said, "You two drink less, I'll go rest first, and when Zijun is free, I'll come to talk to my aunt." ”

Jiang De got up and sent him off, and when only he and Liang Shijie were left, Liang Shijie said, "How much have you been involved in the matter of Liangshan?" ”

As he spoke, Liang Shijie took Jiang De's hand and said, "Huaixi's matter, do you think you can hide it from the world?" As soon as the soldiers and horses of Liangshan passed, Tianxiang students were all over Huaixi, do you really want to have a head? ”

Jiang De didn't expect Liang Shijie to suddenly say this, he turned his head, and he realized that he was too Meng Lang before.

Although the corporal doctors in the world are divided into different factions, they are one family in the end, and where do the scholars come from? Not from among the squires.

Why do so many people in Huaixi support Wang Qing's uprising? Wang Qing killed a large number of squires after the incident, but there were still many squires who fled, and when these squires came back, they were originally going to take the opportunity to annex the land of other dead squires, but it turned out that these lands had been divided by the local agricultural associations, so they would naturally explore the foundation of these so-called agricultural associations.

The relationship between Tianxiang Academy and Jiang De is well known, in this way, the relationship between Jiang De and Liang Shan is clear at a glance, Jiang De In the eyes of outsiders, the backer is Cai Jing, so naturally someone will come to Liang Shijie to inquire about the news.

Jiang De squinted and thought for a while, broke free of Liang Shijie's hand and asked, "Is it Liang Zhongshu or my brother-in-law at this time?" ”

"Is it my good nephew or a rebellious traitor at this time?" Liang Shijie asked rhetorically.

Jiang De regretted it a little, he would bring guards on weekdays, but this time he came to see Liang Shijie, because it was a family banquet, he came alone, Jiang De didn't know if there were sword and axe hands ambushed around, he secretly prepared to exchange armor and other things, just in case of emergency, while holding Liang Shijie's hand with a smile and said, "I am naturally a good nephew of my uncle, and my nephew will never be a rebellious traitor, besides, where does my nephew have this qualification." ”

Liang Shijie looked at Jiang De for a while before he said, "Then tell me, how deeply involved are you in the matter of Liangshan?" What exactly does Jiang Xinzhi want to do? ”

Jiang De replied, "Uncle, Liangshan's affairs are my affairs, as for the Marquis of Pingyin.... He was just trying to do it, just in case. ”

"What? You! Liang Shijie didn't expect Jiang De and Liang Shan to be involved so deeply, as soon as he thought of being found out in the future, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of it, so he couldn't help but be anxious and afraid, and he couldn't speak all of a sudden.

"Uncle, don't worry, if the Marquis of Pingyin wants to rebel, now that the Western Army is going south, the court is empty, and the Marquis of Pingyin can raise troops to take Bianliang directly, where will he send money to Wang Xiang for justice?" Jiang De said again: "As for the imperial court... As long as the Marquis of Pingyin does not really cause trouble, at such a moment, the imperial court will never attack the Marquis of Pingyin, after all, the Marquis of Pingyin still has soldiers and horses all the way in Goryeo, and it is a sin to fight snakes and not die. ”

Liang Shijie closed his eyes and thought for a while, he could only comfort himself, and then said, "Can you still withdraw?" ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "The Marquis of Pingyin and I are already one, uncle, you should also think about yourself." ”

"For myself?" Liang Shijie smiled puzzledly, "I think about myself, should I arrest you and dedicate you to the official family?" ”

Jiang De smiled and said, "Even if you really dedicate me to the official family, will the official family punish me?" Is this to force the Yin Marquis to rebel? ”

Liang Shijie sighed, Jiang De also let go of his hand, and both of them understood that the imperial court would never deal with Liang Shan at this time.

"What do you want to do when you come to the Daimyo's Mansion this time?" Liang Shijie asked.

Jiang De replied, "It's just a look at the industry." ”

Liang Shijie shook his head and said, "If something really happens to your industry, how can you keep it." ”

Jiang De suddenly came to his senses, I am afraid that many people feel that they will be suppressed soon, Cai Jing has now resigned, there are so many industries in various places, this is not to treat himself as firewood.

Jiang De also felt some urgency, in the current industry, Qionglou, oil mills, and wine mills have the most inputs, but these are all meat in front of the official squire, and if there is really an incident in the future, I am afraid that the industries in various places will not be able to be saved.

"We have to find a way." Jiang De thought secretly.
