Zhao Xing was silent for a moment, took out the wallet from his arms, and pulled out a stack of flying tickets from the wallet.

This kind of flying ticket Wan Qian Yong and Shuai Fan know, he is a kind of large-denomination flying ticket, it is said that the printing of it uses advanced technology, the paper is smooth and can not write the brush words, and the paper is also mixed with metal wire, so that this paper can be induced by magnets. The paper is printed with a special pigment that reveals a faint pink color throughout, and the pattern is a deep purple. It is not printed much, each ticket is 10,000 yuan, and the transfer procedures are still very complicated, and the parties need to finally sign and approve it.

Zhao Xing's stack of flying tickets is about more than 20, he counted out two stacks, ten in each stack, and pushed them to Wan Qianyong and Shuai Fan respectively, and explained softly: "The two of you are running around with me on the front line, and the hard work is high, I will first order a small net worth for each position." This amount of money is nothing, but it allows the two of them to freely decide what to do in the future. ”

Wan Qianyong and Shuai Fan both hesitated for a moment, and without hesitation, they put the stack of 10,000 face value negotiable tickets into their arms, and then patiently listened to Zhao Xing to continue to explain.

Zhao Xing was silent for a moment, and said faintly: "In the past, I always advised the teacher to go back, but now I also experience this reluctance. Shuang'er, remember when we went to the West, I told you about the reckless warrior who charged at the big windmill? ”

Cheng Shuang smiled: "Remember, that story is so ridiculous, I remember that the person's surname is Tang, and his name is Quixote." You also tell us that the surname Tang means nobility, and in France it is called Jean, and in Germany it is called Feng ......"

Zhao Xing said slowly: "I walked all the way, with the windmill and waterwheel on Huanqing Road. All eyes were on the reckless man charging towards the windmill. Did you know that the emblem of a doctor in the West is Don Quixote charging the big windmill? ”

Wan Qiyong and Shuai Fan did not say anything. Cheng Shuang couldn't help asking: "Uncle Seven, why did the Western doctor choose such a ridiculous pattern as his logo?" ”

"Courage - they chose courage!" Zhao Xing said calmly: "Compared to the huge windmill. Don Quixote is small, the battle is asymmetrical, but Don Quixote still confidently launched the attack - is he a laughing stock?

Western doctors believe that illness is powerful. In the face of illness, the power of individuals is small, and sometimes a lot of their efforts and a lot of research seem ridiculous. Because they are going in the wrong direction. However. As a doctor, their only duty is to launch an indomitable charge in the face of illness, even if their personal strength is small, this is the most basic courage to be a human being. ”

Cheng Shuang stood for a moment again, reminiscing about what Zhao Xing had just said, and he replied, "I know!" The teacher wants to be a Don Quixote and let the disciples follow him. ”

Shuai Fan agreed the fastest, and he slammed the table: "Such a wonderful thing." How can there be no self?! Shuai Fan then patted his chest. The stack of tickets rustled in his arms, and he continued: "Now I have no worries. When following Lord Zhao, go forward. ”

Wan Qiyong was careful, he first stated that he was willing to follow, and then asked carefully: "What do you plan to do in the future?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled and said the most thrilling words in the most bland tone: "Since I can't be a virtuous minister, let me be a warlord." ”

Shuai Fan's eyes flashed, and Wan Qiyong muttered in a low voice: "Warlord, I've only heard of the gate valve, where does this warlord come from?" My lord, it's not a good choice to abandon literature and follow martial arts......"

Shuai Fan cut off Wan Qianyong's words and said, "This adult will arrange it himself, and I just have to follow." ”

After the three of them finished discussing, Lin Xi walked from outside the inn with his hands behind his back, his face was full of smug smiles, and as soon as he saw Zhao Xing, he habitually continued to persuade: "Lord Zhao, you are going to Yan'an Mansion, I think it is still official to submit an official post, and an official seal is required to submit an official post......

Zhao Xingyi stretched out his hand and replied indifferently: "Lord Lin doesn't need to say any more, the official seal and official body document are here!" ”

Lin Xi was ecstatic, and he was greatly relieved, he thought that it was Wan Qianyong and the two who persuaded Zhao Xing, and hurriedly threw his hand at the two: "Thank you two, thank you two for your help, thank you can't thank you enough." Master Zhao, wait for a while, and I'll take the letter. ”

Lin Xi didn't know that when he handed over Zhao Xing's seal, a big warlord was born in the Song Dynasty.

In the original history, Xie Lin of Jingyuan Road also changed his mind after returning to Jingxiang, and was determined to be a big warlord, he controlled Jingxiang for more than 20 years, and was known as "King Xie Nan" and "King Jingxiang", even one of the "six thieves", known as the King of the Southeast, Zhu did not dare to enter Xie Lin's territory when he was most arrogant. Later, the people set up a temple to pay tribute and praised: "Two thousand stone Jing Chu support, the public is the former dynasty sage and too guard; Surrounded by 800 miles of caves, the old town is a famous mountain. ”

Now, history has added a new warlord: Zhao Liren.

A party feud, two warlords - the cruel reality taught the Song officials the reality.

Lin Xi ran back to his room to seal the letter, and a group of soldiers rushed in outside the door, shouting as soon as they entered the door: "Where is Zhao Anfu, where is Zhao Anfu?" ”

Zhao Xing stood up, shook his head gently, and replied: "There is no Zhao Anfu here, there is only one Zhao Liren who has stepped down." ”

"You're the one who is waiting", a loud shout sounded outside the door, and then a big man in armor broke in - it was to delay the road and prepare, and the palace marshal could be adapted.

In January 1094, the privy envoy of the Northern Court of Liaozhi, Yeluyut, led a large army to crusade against the Tatars, and in the event of heavy snow, defeated the four Tatar tribes and killed more than 1,000 people. Later, he captured Mogusi and captured him back to the Liao Dynasty to be executed. Since then, the Liao State has pacified the Tatar bandits.

At the same time, Lin Xi's emergency recital on the road, the Huanqing Road Chapter, and the impeachment recital issued by Zhiyongxing Junfan Chun were successively praised into the capital, and those officials in the capital realized that they had made a big mistake, and they gave the Tangut people a big handle in plain way, and also made fun of the surrounding Fan countries. This is not good, ancient Chinese diplomacy was all about benevolence and righteousness, if it was admitted that Huanqing Lu privately detained the envoy of the Western Xia, the Song people would suffer a moral dumb loss in the follow-up diplomacy. No one is willing to take this responsibility.

Therefore, the imperial court urgently sent another consolation envoy. At the same time, the new Jingyuan Lu Dazhong and Zhao Xing were summoned to Beijing at the same time, in the name that the imperial court intended to consult the border states and counties. And so it goes. The appointment of Zhao Xing was shelved, and the imperial court also had a step down.

Not long after the consolation envoy was dispatched, Zhang went home, and his son Zhang Yuan asked his father: "Father." I heard that the order to degrade Zhao Liren has been canceled, and my father plans to settle Zhao Liren. Do you have to put it in the Privy Council? ”

Chapter high-five. Annoyed and said: "When I see Zhao Liren, I hate Su Laopo's blessings, who is Zhao Liren?" His decision to kill was crisper than his father's; The means of governing the place are varied, and they are better than Nasu Laopo; In terms of military politics, he is even more ferocious than a fierce general. If such a person is willing to help me, the group of mediocre people in the court will be in the eyes of my father.

Even if this person refuses to be in the court, that's fine. If he is willing to devote himself to me, let him go to the northern border. For the Father to sleep peacefully. Since then, he has not been afraid of Huma's harassment. In the rich counties of the south, he is also a master of accumulation. It's a pity that the court doesn't have to worry about wealth. This time, when he was summoned to Kyori, he had to make a statement.

Son, he has a life-saving grace with you, and when he arrives in the capital, you will entertain him, so that those people will also know: Zhao Liren is my person. ”

At the end of January, Zhao Xingsu stayed in Ganquan to meet with the preparation of the extension of the road and the handsomeness of the palace.

In February, Emperor Zhezong recalled Li Qingchen, a scholar of the Imperial Palace, from Zhending Mansion (present-day Zhengding, Hebei) to the capital, appointed him as the Zhongshilang, and appointed Shang Deng Wenbo of the military department as Shang Zuocheng. Li Qingchen first put forward the suggestion of "Shaoshu", and Deng Wenbo immediately agreed, so the era of Zhezong's Shaoshu Song Shenzong began.

On the same month, the founder of China's first township, the former prime minister, the good man, the current deputy envoy of Shuzhou regimental training, and Lu Dafang died in Qianzhou. On the same day, Lu Dazhong, the other founder of the "First Township Covenant in China", Jingyuan Patho, and Lü Dafangdi's younger brother, arrived in Beijing and was summoned to ask about side affairs. ”

Lu Dazhong was very moved and replied: "It's close." ”

He asked, "Ann?" He also said: "The ministers want to depreciate the Great Defense to cross the sea (that is, to degrade Lu Dafang to Hainan), I specially arranged for the Great Defense to be alone in Anzhou, do you know?" ”

Lu Dazhong replied: "Your Majesty is gracious. ”

Shang said: "You go back and send a letter to Dafang, say again and again, and will be patient, Dafang is honest and simple, sold by others, and you can see you again in two or three years." ”

Dazhong thanked him again and was very happy when he retreated.

Yanlu Palace's marshal Zhi Keshi came to Zhao Xing to discuss this year's attack plan. After the Empress Dowager Liang suffered a major setback last year, she was busy maintaining her rule and purging dissidents for a whole year. Now it's time for the Tangut people to get used to invading, and at this time, the old batch of commanders who had been baptized by war last year have been replaced, and the new officials, Huanqing Lu Huiqing is a corrupt official, and Yanlu Liu Fa is a mallet, and he can't do anything except write poetry.

Originally, Zhao Xing planned to stay on the Huanqing Road for three years, so after the attack last year, he had a meeting with Jingyuan Road Yanlu to jointly determine this year's action plan...... But all three people who had been discussed at the beginning were dismissed.

Yanlu did suffer heavy losses last year, because the Xixia people were very invaded by spring ploughing, so they had no harvest for a whole year, and the compensation of the imperial court could only make them survive, and if they wanted to resume production, they also needed the support of neighboring states and counties, and during this period, Zhao Xing's role could not be ignored, so although Zhao Xing resigned, Zhi Keshi decided to put aside Liu Fa and come to ask for advice.

This consultation took ten days, and the two of them closed the door and stayed in the house every morning at dawn to discuss secretly. Lin Xi wanted to rush into the house several times to listen to what they said, but there were soldiers on the outside and Zhao Xing's family inside, and the subordinates of the two surrounded this inn impenetrable. Lin Xi vaguely found that from time to time, some people dressed as officials dodged into this inn under the guidance of Wan Qi Yongshuaifan, and then left without knowing when. Five days later, when he said goodbye, his expression was very excited.

In February, on the day of Lü Dazhong's entry into Beijing, Zhao Xing led Lin Xi into Hedong Road. Lin Xi vaguely guessed the content of the discussion between Zhi Keshi and Zhao Xing. When Zhao Xing got back on the road, Lin Xi pretended to sigh. The temptation said: "Liu Fa and Liu Jingluo have not shown up for the past few days, but I will send him a letter." But this guy didn't even reply to a letter, and I think his strategy is probably boring. ”

"It's boring" - this word is the key, Zhao Xingyi grinned and replied disdainfully: "Now I am a degraded official." Who would want to be in close contact with a degraded official, but myself. ”

The key point of Zhao Xing's answer is also in the last few words. It's a pun. Lin Xi couldn't answer. smiled awkwardly and continued to probe: "Lord Liu has been busy taking over the government affairs of Yanlu these days, and he didn't come to greet him, isn't it to blame Lord Zhao?" ”

Zhao Xing looked up to the sky and laughed, and said bluntly that Lin Xidi was worried: "Lord Lin, you have seen officials coming and going to my inn in the past few days, and you are worried that Lord Liu will be set up by the soldiers - but why don't you worry about Dingzhou?" Dingzhou was the front line, when Liang Yikui invaded early last year. We were caught in the middle of it in a few ways. had to ask the Liao people to send troops. The Liao lord ordered the general Xiao Haili to garrison Dingzhou for this reason. By the way, I learned about the situation in Dingzhou.

It is said that the successive governors of Dingzhou were all set up by the soldiers, and the ordnance in the treasury was stolen and sold by them, when the Liao army pressed into the ground, the Dingzhou arsenal could not find a bow and arrow that could be used, a pair of armor that could be worn on the ground, and the entire arsenal was rotten wood except for scrap iron. In this case, there were no people in Dingzhou who wanted to fight, the people fled in large numbers, and the generals trembled and only wanted to surrender.

I checked the military and political situation in Dingzhou, and described it in two words: bad chi. The guards are arrogant and do not teach, the military academy eats away at their gifts, and the successive governors dare not say a word about this phenomenon. There are a total of thirty-seven commanders in Mandingzhou, but when the battle is about to be made, there are no three full commanders - seeing that the invasion of Western Xia is imminent, you sent my teacher to Dingzhou, what is this for? It's murder! This is borrowing a knife to kill!

It's funny my Lin Dahanlin, you are still in the mood to care about Liu Jingluo. Don't hide it, what does it matter to me whether Liu Jinglue lives or dies? If the Xixia people want to invade this year, they will not dare to come to our Huanqing, so what the soldiers are pointing to is either Jingyuan or Yan, and the Liao people will respond, and it must be Dingzhou. Lord Liu is still looking at the present, he can survive this war, and then talk about other things. As for the pre-war - the more power you have, the greater the responsibility! I want to see what ability Master Liu has to live to the end of the year. ”

Lin Xi thought for a long time, and acquiesced in what Zhao Xing said was reasonable, he wrote a letter that night and sent someone to Liu Fa, Liu Fa suddenly realized after getting the letter, and when he hurriedly sent someone to meet Zhao Xing, he was ready to ask Zhao Xing for advice in person, but at this time, Zhao Xing's team had already left Yanlu and entered Hedong Road. Liu Fa was stunned, and from then on, Liu Fa turned a blind eye to the military and politics of Yanlu and became a general

At the beginning of February, Zhao Xing crossed the Hedong Road and walked to the Daimyo's Mansion, and the imperial court officially issued an edict to change the Yuan Shaosheng.

Lin Xi had already seen that Zhao Xing's goal was to go to Dingzhou, but because of the years of war in Hedong and the harsh salaries of the officers, many soldiers fled and fell into the grass, so there were bandits along the way, and three or five people easily did not dare to go on the road. In this case, Lin Xi also felt that it was safest to go to the Daimyo's Mansion with Zhao Xing's team on the official road first, and then return to Beijing from the Daimyo's Mansion.

This year, due to Zhao Xing's departure, Shaanxi Road was panicked, so it entered the pre-war mobilization in advance. The atmosphere of war also quickly spread to Hedong Road, where there were few pedestrians and bandits wandering on both sides of the road. Zhao Xing repelled hundreds of bandits all the way, and arrived at Hengqu with difficulty, only to catch the Yellow River clipper, and arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion in a few days.

At this time, the Daimyo's Mansion was left behind by the former Prime Minister Liu Zhi, Zhao Xing prepared a gift to visit on the way, but Liu Zhi was a member of the old party, Lin Xi and he did not like each other, and the imperial examination was imminent, so he did not enter the Daimyo's Mansion, broke up with Zhao Xing on the edge of the Yellow River, and continued to take Zhao Xing's fast boat to the capital.

In February, Zhao Xing said goodbye to Liu Zhi and began to march to Zhending Mansion, at this time, the imperial court summoned Zhao Xing to Beijing to play the right piece of music finally caught up with Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing received the order, indifferently noncommittal. He sent away the consolation envoy and continued to advance towards Zhendingfu.

Zeng Bu, who was left behind in the original Zhending Mansion, had returned to the imperial court with an edict, and the new Zhending Mansion official happened to be an old party boss and former privy envoy Wang Yansuo, Zhao Xing saw this stubborn old man, opened his mouth and was speechless in shock, and after a while, Fang stammered and said: "Wang Weng has also been demoted, so who will preside over this year's Privy Council, seeing that the Xia people are about to invade, I don't know if after Wang Weng leaves, I don't know if the new privy envoy can be familiar with the work at hand when the Xixia people enter our territory?" ”

Wang Yansuo smiled bitterly, Zhao Xing could come to visit him without scruples at this time, which moved him in his heart, he laughed and introduced to his colleagues: "Everyone take a look, this is the big man on the "West Garden Yaji Map", that is, the big man who gave Zhang Xianggong barbecue to eat, Yangzhou people called it Golden Finger, and Xia people called it the unprovoked Huanqing Yuanbian to appease Zhao Laohu.

Haha, when I think of the West Garden party, it seems like yesterday. I think that you Zhao Liren waved your fist in the West Garden and intimidated us, but I didn't expect you to come to visit the old man...... Come on, come on, haha, I heard that you are in Huanqing, a song "Langya Song" sang and defeated the Xixia people, come and tell me. ”

Literati like to exaggerate - the full name of the "Langya Song" mentioned by Wang Yansuo is "Qin Emperor Dengtai Langya Stone Carving", that is, the Qin song "under the whole world". The Tangut people were not defeated by songs, but by Zhao Xing's hard fighting, and the role of "Langya Song" here is to boost morale and declare the Great Song culture to the Tangut people.

But literati just like this, they like to beautify a bloody desperate fight into an elegant thing, Zhao Xing is also a literati, how can he break the rules of the literati, he bowed his hand to Wang Yansuo, first apologized for Xiyuan's recklessness, and then said: "Lin Weng (Wang Yansuo word Yanlin, so Lin Weng is called it) If you want to listen to "Langya Song", it is not difficult, I will ask Huanqing Road to send you a few people to teach." ”

Wang Yansuo just said that Zhao Xing's original official position was a mistake in his mouth. Zhao Xing now faintly reminded the other party that although he had resigned, he could still partially control the military of Huanqing Road, Wang Yansuo understood as soon as he heard it, he squinted his eyes, and invited Zhao Xing into the mansion with one hand: "Leave people, talk in the house." ”

Zhao Xing gave in, and the two entered the official office of the Daimyo's Mansion hand in hand, the gate was immediately closed, and the officials came out to disperse the onlookers.

"The End of Part 2"
