Part 4 Crazy Against the Sky Chapter 4378 Foreign Objects
Bloody Zhao Shan inherited his mother's language talent, since he was a child, he can speak multiple languages T Sili was attracted all the energy by this baby, she personally hired a teacher to teach At present, the Arab slaves imprisoned in the library know that this child in front of them will be the lord of Kaizhi City, and they will pin all their hopes of returning to China on Zhao Shan, and spare no effort to teach him.
After a variety of cultural edification, Zhao Shan inevitably has many more cultural concepts than others, and he has shown a unique cunning in a small person, and among Zhao Xing's sons, Zhao Feng is wooden on the surface, Zhao Hai likes to pretend to be an adult, likes to learn from his father and brother, is more withdrawn, Zhao Yun is a stupid and bold, since he was a child attracted by the legendary stories of the Tang Dynasty, his only wish is to grow up to be a similar empty ranger, fighting the sword in the world.
Compared with those brothers, it seems that Zhao Xing's intelligence has been inherited by this young son, he will not only pretend to be honest like the eldest brother, but also be like Zhao Hai, he will have unique ideas for doing things, and he can also make an impulsive and irritable expression like Zhao Yun. Zhao Shan, who has a variety of emotions mixed together, has a very high emotional intelligence, whether it is an Arab, an Israeli or a Song person, they all like this mixed race who is particularly popular, quiet and does not like to make trouble.
This time, Changguo intended to see Zhao Xing's world-famous library building, which was achieved through Zhao Shan. Zheng Juzhong's conversation just now, Zhao Yun didn't understand the meaning, Zhao Shan understood, he looked at Zheng Juzhong's back thoughtfully.
The county lord of Changguo has shown Zhao Shan's abnormality, no matter how smart the villain is, after all, the experience is there, and Changguo has grown up in the palace since he was a child, what kind of tricks have not been seen, so she will not be like Zheng Juzhong, because she underestimated the two children and relaxed her vigilance, and said everything that should not be said. She hurriedly interrupted: "Xiaoshan'er, haven't you eaten enough, how can you push weakly, harder, harder." ”
The swing frame was swinged, swinging higher and higher, Zhao Yunxing shouted excitedly, Zhao Shan also looked happy on the surface, but the eyes of the county lord of Changguo were rolling around, and the focus of his gaze was not on her.
There was a creaking laughter in front of the library building, it was Li Qingzhao's laughter, she led Su Dun's daughter-in-law Fan Hui, followed by her follower Zhao Jie, three or five black girls followed, and two adult widows followed with skirts. The image of this group of people is purely the appearance of a gentleman in the Song Dynasty, Li Qingzhao is holding a cat that looks like a big dog in his arms, and Zhao Jie is holding a giant dog with white hair that looks like a calf, smiling all the way. In addition, a group of cats and dogs of different shapes and sizes also ran around the two, attracting everyone's attention wherever this group of people went.
Li Qingzhao saw that Changguo's swing was swinging higher and higher, and there was already a sign of danger, her eyes were glaring, Zhao Yun's heart was weak, and she quickly grabbed the swing frame, Zhao Shan was clever, and took this opportunity to turn around and run towards the library, and disappeared in a moment.
Waiting for Princess Changguo to jump off the swing frame, her face was already solid, during this period, as the swing swing higher and higher, she was already a little afraid, but in order to let Zhao Shan and Zhao Yun have no time not to think, he could only shout frequently, so that the two of them would not stop, and at this moment Li Qingzhao's stop was the right time for her.
Jumping off the swing frame, Changguo wiped his sweat, raised his red little face, and said happily: "Qingzhao, is your day like this every day?" ”
Fan Hui's face tightened, and Li Qingzhao replied quickly: "What day is this, what day is this... It's the New Year, and the licensee of Ah Weng indulged a little for a few days, and he usually had free days to play. ”
Zhao Yun didn't hear the main words of Changguo County. He blurted out: "County Lord." What is the life like in the palace? ”
Fan Hui's eyes changed. I can't wait to go up and step on Zhao Yun twice. Zhao Jie interjected quickly. She immediately pretended to be excited. I asked curiously: "I heard that the official family built Yanfu Palace." Yanfu Palace has seven palaces and thirty-two pavilions. Stacked rocks are mountains. Chisel the pond for the sea. It's not like a dusty realm. My sister plays in the palace complex like that. Must be happy, right? ”
Chang Kook blinked. Climb along the pole: "If my sister has a heart." Why don't I take you to the palace to play? ”
Li Qingzhao replied quickly. She put down the big cat and dog in her hand. As soon as the cat landed. Immediately rushed to the field and rode to Su Dun. Chang Kook was attracted by the cute appearance of the cat. She reached out to touch it. But the cat disappeared in the blink of an eye. Changguo was helpless. He reached out and touched the other cats. Ask: "This is the sesame leopard?" In the past, there were many tribute palaces of the Taishi. It's a pity that the breeding is illegal. They all died. In recent years, there have been many rare playthings sent to the palace by the Taishi. But I've never seen such a cute cat or dog again... It's a snow lion that pulls the ground. There is a golden lion in the palace. It's a pity to be old.
There is a lot of room in the master's house. How about giving me a few to play with? ”
Children are like that. The mind has no longevity. Just now, Changguo used this to attract Zhao Shandi's attention. Now she has also been led away by Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao took advantage of Changguo's bowing body to go to the ground. glanced at Zhao Jie. Fan Hui had already walked to Zhao Yun's side at this time. Stomp on his toes. He said, "What are big men doing around a group of women?" Play elsewhere. ”
Chang Guo teased the cat and dog in her hands, and after a while, she was attracted to a pocket dog and immediately asked, "What breed is this?" It's so cute. ”
Li Qingzhao squatted down and teased the puppy with her, and replied: "This is a Japanese Chihuahua, which was bought by Ah Weng from the Wa Kingdom, if the princess likes it, I will give you a pair." ”
Zhao Jie was already vigilant at this time, but she still couldn't help but hear that the officials put water bladders made of brocade bags in the rockery caves, so that the water bladders could be steamed, and in the clouds and clouds, they could enjoy the heaven and earth that were not ordinary. How can my Amarani Garden be compared with the Yanfu Palace of the official family, Uncle Qin Shaoyou often said that his father made this garden like a big military camp, and it was not interesting at all. ”
Chang Guo straightened up and said with a contemplative expression: "The scenery of the Amazu Garden is by no means similar to the Imperial Palace, and before I came to this garden, I never thought that there would be such a garden in the world. ”
Seeing Li Qingzhao's smile on his face, Fan Hui's face was nervous, Zhao Jie's eyes rolled, and Changguo immediately added: "When it comes to luxury, when it comes to the exquisiteness of garden architecture, and the ingenuity, the Lili Garden is far inferior to Yanfu Palace, and even less than the West Garden, which is half built by Taishi Cai. Speaking of which, there is really nothing remarkable about this Amame Garden, except for the terrifying tall Blue House Tower in front of the hill, which is just a large garden with a few pavilions......
I thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that only the water pavilion and poetry avenue in front of the Blue House were worthy of praise
There are very few. But this garden is better than its atmosphere, it always gives people a kind of T+\ no need more, two or three embellishments under the shade of the trees, when you are tired, you can rest on the roadside deck chair, take a book, stroll the path, and have a happy life. I couldn't have imagined this kind of atmosphere in the palace. ”
Zhao Xing's castle is almost a semi-open castle, although it is difficult for outsiders to enter, but once they are allowed to step into it, they can wander around in the garden as they like, listen to the perennial opera performances, poetry avenues, copy the famous calligraphy bridge, cross the river to this library to read the collection.
It's a good choice to stay in this garden... This is the most attractive part of this garden, its wide lawn, the long cherry blossom path, the sea of frangipani, it seems to be a good place to stay, there are many literati students rolling down in the grass, pillowing their arms, so that they spend the whole day doing nothing.
It is also a good place to read, from the flowers and trees, there are a lot of singing sounds, many readers hold a book in their hands, are shaking their heads under the tree, reading aloud, all of a sudden, forgetting the existence of heaven and earth.
It seems to be a place to play, and there are all kinds of entertainment facilities, almost like a large playground, with merry-go-rounds, slides, and pommel horse racks, all of which are full of tiny children.
It also seems to be a good place for a date, with flower paths, lovers holding hands and talking with puppets from time to time, and a pair of men and women rolling down in the grass...... Of course, most of those women are widows, and they shoulder the mission of giving their families seeds, so they naturally have to seize the time and complete the task as soon as possible.
Zhao Xing's garden covers a large area, the west garden is already like a small town, the east bank of the castle is located, due to the addition of many ancillary equipment in recent years, not far from the castle built a military camp, which is stationed Zhao Xing's guards. The wharf in Zhaoxing is also semi-open to the people, and not far from the wharf, a small village inhabited by dock workers has naturally formed......
In terms of speaking, the architecture in the castle is really lackluster, but as Changguo said, the relaxed and casual atmosphere that permeates this castle has made the Amamine Garden a holy place in the minds of scholars, who often live near the Amali Garden in the name of apprenticeship, and come to the library to read the school attached to the west wall of the castle during the day to listen to lectures, but most of the time they stroll through the flower paths, read and think.
There is a trap hidden in the first words of the county lord of Changguo, as a courtier, he cannot ask the emperor's residence, which is just like the weight of the king of Qin asking Jiuding, which is a proof of the heart of the subordinate. Zhao Jie used two gardens and ancillary buildings to question, and the answer given by Changguo was equivalent to indirectly confirming that Zhao Xing's castle was not as luxurious as the imperial palace.
In fact, in the Song Dynasty, it was not a big crime to build one's house more gorgeous than the palace, Cai Jing did this, the emperor did not blame, and no minister impeached him for not being a minister, and the reaction of these people present was completely too intense.
The county lord of Changguo just asked Zhao Jie if she wanted to enter the palace to play, and this sentence was actually another euphemistic inquiry. In the Song Dynasty, there was no custom of letting the children of the wife or the official eunuch enter the palace, this custom belonged to the Qing Dynasty, and her inquiry was actually asking Zhao Jie if she had the idea of marrying into the palace.
Li Qingzhao also pretended to be curious and asked: "I heard Ah Weng say that Cai Jing Cai's life is luxurious, it is said that he likes to eat quail soup and crab roe buns, and every time he eats quail soup, he needs to kill 300 quails; The cost of inviting someone to eat once was 1,300 yuan (about equivalent to the annual income of 50 ordinary families at that time).
I also heard that Lord Cai's family has countless female envoys according to the standards of professionals, and even girls who are responsible for cutting shredded green onions. When my grandfather said this, he also sighed and said: My family receives thousands of students every year, and in order to provide meals for scholars, the fire in the kitchen is not extinguished all year round, but it has not yet reached the point of Master Cai...... County Lord, have you ever eaten at Lord Cai's house, how is the food in Master Cai's house better than ours? ”
Li Qingzhao's words are to make up for Zhao Yun's mistake just now, she is now pretending to be a curious little woman, ready to lead the topic to exploration and novelty, stunned, although Changguo is the leader among his peers, but Li Qingzhao is the leader of our national women, she asked, Changguo was interested, she couldn't help but answer: "Taishi Cai pays attention to perfection, everything he can't look at, even the emperors of all dynasties who pay attention to frugality, he will sneer at it as translated into modern language, which means that the soil has to get rid of the scum)'. People often say that the food in Mrs. Cai's house is fine, and I have also heard that the food in your house is comparable to Mrs. Cai, but I only know when I am immersed in the scene, it is estimated that Mrs. Cai came to your house, and he wants to say to his cook: ugly! ”
After a pause, Changguo raised his finger and said: "Don't say anything else, just say your fruit, I never thought that there are so many fruits in the world, in winter, I have also eaten fruits, but those fruits in the palace are fixed every year, I used to be able to eat the fruits of Nanyang tribute every summer, and in winter, I look forward to the tribute ship sailing into the dock of Xiangguo Temple, now I think about it, it was really ugly at that time, there are so many fruits in the world, even in winter, there are a hundred and ten kinds to eat, it is really breathtaking.
Also, your fish is also a must, and there are many spices that I have never heard of, but your family can give you a casual order, and the cook can bring the required dishes, and it is said that there are hundreds of ways to make a single fish, and I guess your father's mind must be amazing......"
Speaking of this, several girls glanced at each other worriedly, Changguo didn't know, and continued to say excitedly: "I often hear that Master Taishi is a capable official, and everywhere he goes, the people are rich and happy, so all states and counties in the world hear that Taishi has arrived, and they all run to tell each other. This kind of ability is not necessarily available to ordinary people, and countless ministers are entangled in local trivial matters, so that there are no more poems and texts to pass on after taking power.
But Lord Taiwei is different, the local government affairs are handled in an orderly manner, and he can also take care of military affairs, and he can also publish books and speak, I also heard that Taishi is also good at composing music, and many tunes in "The Legend of the West Chamber" are composed by Taiwei himself, yes, many people do one thing in their lives, this mind is coincidental enough. But Lord Taiwei has put so much thought into eating, and I guess that Lord Taiwei's brain keeps spinning when he sleeps, otherwise, how can he have so much energy to figure out so many tricks. ”
The county lord of Changguo has a very good evaluation
She doesn't know the origin of Zhao Xing, and she has been bombarded with a lot of information (the ancients practiced everything personally, as long as he knew the direction of the exhibition, it was enough to give correct guidance to professional personnel.
Although Princess Changguo's evaluation is pertinent, in her mouth, Zhao Xing has now been reduced to outright hedonism and has begun to spend his energy on enjoying life, Li Qingzhao took a look, and Zhao Jie immediately recommended her puppy to Changguo. At this time, Su Dun urged the horse, jumped over the horse farm and ran to the low railing, urging the horse, so that the ** horse walked into Fan Hui with a light little dance, followed by a team of big cats and a team of Tibetan mastiffs, he excitedly shouted at Fan Hui: Father still keeps my puppy and kitten, come and meet, this is Ah Huang Ah Hong, who played with me when I was a child. ”
Fan Hui's temper came up, and he responded enthusiastically: "This horse is so beautiful when it runs, I also ride it, is it okay?" ”
Changguo hurriedly interjected: "I want it too!" ”
Su Dun hurriedly replied: "There are a few docile mares in the stable, which are suitable for women to ride, and I will bring you ......."
At this time, Zhao Shan in the library was reporting to Yuan Yeping: "Uncle Yuan, Zheng Dazai is going to Changguo, I heard that there is still a shadow army in Changguo training, it will be fine, right?" ”
Yuan Yeping replied: "It's okay, we have already moved them to the surrounding islands, once Zheng Juzhong goes out to sea, the sea is vast, and we have the final say on the sea, he wants to go to the island to find it, unless we are willing to lead the way." ”
Zhao Shan was stunned for a moment, pointing to the swing frame outside, why did Zheng Juzhong come back again? ”
When Zheng Juzhong arrived, everyone was about to leave the swing frame and go to the riding field, and Chang Guo asked in surprise, "What, Dazai, didn't you mention the money?" ”
Zheng Juzhong arched his hand in annoyance: "County lord, the ticket bank didn't have a holiday today, and the accounts were also let me check it, but it was not possible to withdraw the money, they said that the county lord needed to sign the document, which is called 'credit', and only after the credit was granted, the ticket bank would give the allocation." He also said that it was the rule. ”
Changguo glanced at the riding field regretfully, and replied sheepishly: "So, come with me, everyone, I'm afraid I won't be able to play today, so I have to go back to the room to write documents." ”
In the library building, Yuan Yeping and Zhao Shan were holding a telescope to observe the situation of the princess here, Yuan Yeping replied: "It's okay, I knew that he was coming back when Zheng Juzhong left, although he was a Dazai who handled royal affairs and could consult the private property of the official family, but he couldn't raise the money, and the county lord didn't give him the corresponding documents." ”
Zhao Shan sighed, will he take the opportunity to lure the county lord away from them, right? ”
Yuan Yeping smiled, and before he answered, Zhao Shan asked innocently: "Actually, why is my father so nervous, it is not a big deal for the county lord to marry into the Zhao family, but my sister can't marry into the palace, I know that the palace is not fun, my mother often says that there are many rules in big families, and there are enough rules in our family, and it must be even more headache in the palace." ”
Yuan Yeping put down the binoculars and did not answer the child's words.
On Huhuan Mountain, Zhao Xingzheng took the officials to try out the new gun, a cavalry special horse gun that could be ridden on a horse and put the gun with one hand, and the officials played with this gun and squandered a lot of ammunition. Although they shot a lot, they didn't have much prey, and only Zhao Xing's harvest was barely worth seeing.
"Not bad", Zhao Xing finished putting the gun, stroked the body of the gun and exclaimed: "This kind of gun is enough, with this kind of gun, I think Huang Song should be pushed to a position equal to its creation." ”
What Zhao Xing means is that once creativity is stimulated, it is like a downhill stone, which will roll faster and faster. The creativity of the Song people was originally very strong, and now this creativity was stimulated by him, and then the Song people relied on this creativity to achieve the current status, which is a position commensurate with the national strength of the Song people. With this firearm, Zhao Xing had the potential to push the glory of the Song Dynasty one step further.
Unfortunately, although his troops have mastered firearms, they still lack experience in large-scale joint operations. So far, he had encountered skirmishes, with the Luzhi being a little larger, but the Persians, who had never seen firearms, were frightened by his weapons, so the battle did not serve the purpose of his training.
However, the enemies of northern China are different, they can be said to be the most powerful and fierce army of this era, this group of northern nomads has swept half of Europe, half of the Arab world, and half of India's second large6, and Zhao Xing still seems to lack confidence in fighting this locust army.
You must know that the enraged Liao people and the Jin people can dispatch hundreds of thousands of cavalry in a battle, even if they have a fast gun, Zhao Xing still seems to be lacking in confidence.
Zong Ze shot at the air, trying in vain to shoot a bird, he sighed, and replied soberly: "Not yet, the official family has just finished tossing, and now my emperor and Song Dynasty are strong and middle-class, and even the salaries of hundreds of officials in the imperial court have to be borrowed from the local affairs bureau, in this case, I think it is best to keep the current side ...... We're going to need some time to raise money. Once this war starts, it will not be a matter of one or two years. ”
At this time, Liu Zhongwu of Shaanxi Province began to attack Tubo by virtue of the power of the Sui musket, and Zhao Huaide and others in Tubo were very obedient and immediately surrendered, and the news of the great victory reached the imperial court, and the imperial court decided to transfer Liu Zhongwu to Huainan West Road to quell the rebellion that broke out there.
This rebellion started because of Huashigang, but the imperial court really wanted to suppress the rebellion, and they forgot that there was Zhao Xing's army close at hand, so the purpose of transferring Liu Zhongwu to serve as the envoy of Huainan West Road was not to prevent thieves, but to prevent Zhao Xing from "entering Beijing to offer prisoners" again. In order to prevent Liu Zhongwu from betraying himself, they also specially selected Gao Yongnian, a new party cadre (that is, a sycophant) who looked down on Zhao Xing, to serve as a transfer envoy on Huainan West Road to contain Liu Zhongwu.
Unfortunately, as soon as Liu Zhongwu left, Zhao Huaide and others rebelled again, so the military expenditure on the Tubo War in the early Song Dynasty was equivalent to a waste. This only proves one simple truth: an incomplete victory is worse than defeat.
Also at this time, the Bohai State suddenly counterattacked the Liao State, the Liaodong Plain was overwhelmed by the subversive activities of the Bohai people, the Bohai State actually fought very tenaciously this time, in the face of the Liao cavalry, a mysterious firearms unit in their army showed great power, and the first battle completely annihilated the Linhai Navy in Liaodong, and in this way, the power of the Bohai State expanded to the territory adjacent to the Shanhaiguan Pass, peeking at the Liao State in Beijing.
