Chinese The walls made of huge stones separated the city from the outside of the city, and the inner part of the city was full of houses made of stone and wooden planks, which were particularly clumsy, simple and desolate.

The wind and sand in the northwest are larger, and the Zhenwu army is still built on the mountain, and the day is better, but some sand and dust are blown in through the gaps, and on the night when the sun sets, the cold wind is wrapped in the wind and sand blowing in, making people feel cold and biting.

drank a few glasses of wine at Liu Fa's dinner, met with the Zhenwu State Zhijun and several generals under Liu Fa, and talked politely for a while. After all, it was in the forward barracks, and drinking should still be tempered, so everyone dispersed after a drink.

It was too cold, and Lotte didn't want to sleep for a while, so he sat in front of the brazier and looked at the map that he didn't know who left in the post house before, thinking about the Northern Song Dynasty.

From a territorial point of view, the territory of the Song Dynasty was inferior to that of the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, and the later was inferior to the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. And the most important thing is that the Song people, from the emperor to the people, have a sense that the country is not unified, the Northern Song Dynasty has taken the initiative to attack the Liao State many times, hoping to subdue the sixteen states of Youyun, but the result is that it ended in failure, and never really took the land of Youyun back into his hands.

As for why later textbooks mainly introduced that period of history in the Northern Song Dynasty, this should be easy to explain. Because most of China was still under the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty was politically, culturally and economically ahead of other political powers of the same period, and it seemed that the upper echelons of those small political powers were also very admiring the culture of the Great Song Dynasty.

Diverging his thoughts, Lotte remembered that he had read books and articles about the evaluation of the Song Dynasty in his previous life, and many people thought that due to the Song Dynasty's strengthening of the internal dynasty, the external performance was weak and powerless, and even thought that the history of the Song Dynasty was too nesty, and the entire history of the Song Dynasty was a nest history, so that people often praised the Han and Tang dynasties: the prosperous era ruled the world; As soon as it comes to the Song Dynasty, it is degraded: poor and weak.

There are even historians who believe that in the 11th and 12th centuries, the standard of living in the great cities of the Great Song Dynasty was comparable to that of any other city in the world.

Lotte also knew that from the entry of the Jin people into the Central Plains to the occupation of Huaxia by Meng Yuan, the humiliating lower rites were passed on to the Chinese people. After the Song Dynasty, the Chinese people were constrained, and they not only lost their creativity, but also lost their sensibility. The whole nation is left with a shell and no soul. Some people have been in the ground for a long time, and their knees are deeply rooted in the ground, not only because they are slaves, but also because they have to pull others to be slaves with him.

"Who's ......"

Hearing the man's footsteps leaving, Wu Song hurriedly instructed the guards outside: "Protect the adults thoroughly!" When the words fell, Wu Song led several other people to chase after him.

A soldier guarding outside the room replied: "There was a figure shaking outside the official's room, and it was discovered by Wudutou!" ”

"Official!" Wu Song, who entered the house, arched his hand to Lotte, and said: "The subordinates put the room to check outside, and I just saw a figure peeping at the official's residence for a long time, as for the rest of the matter, the adults came to ask him!" ”

Xu will probe himself in the future, which is really a little unexpected for Lotte, Lotte thinks that he has a good relationship with Xu Jiang, but he didn't expect it to be like this. As for Xu Jiang, he was ashamed in his heart, and Lotte really treated him well.

As he spoke, Lotte guessed in his heart that Xu Jiang had been ordered by someone to spy on him. Is it King Yun? Lotte thought about it and quickly denied this idea, he was more or less supported by King Yun, and he also made great contributions to King Yun, so King Yun should not do such a thing. But who is that? Lotte had no clue for a while.

Tu Si, who was with Lotte's side, saw that Xu Jiang was silent, and said a little helplessly: "My family official is asking you something!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Jiang still didn't say a word.

There are two reasons why Lotte did not interrogate Xu Jiang: first, Lotte did not have the right to interrogate the people of the Imperial City Division; The second is that all the people who guard Lotte are all Imperial City soldiers, if General Xu is interrogated, God knows what will happen to these Imperial City soldiers. So Lotte chose to attack the heart.

No matter what, Lotte will feel that King Yun doesn't trust him and deliberately sends someone to spy on him; And His Royal Highness King Yun will kill himself when he is angry, and only by killing himself can he eliminate some of Lotte's dissatisfaction with King Yun. But Xu Jiang knew in his heart that even if King Yun killed him, it would not make up for the rift between Lotte and King Yun because of himself.

But that's it, General Xu still didn't say a word, and Lotte had to order: "Wu Song, take Lord Xu down, don't be wronged!" ”

After Xu was escorted out, Shakuchi next to him asked softly, "Official, will this Lord Xu be sent by His Royal Highness King Yun to monitor your lord?" ”

Lotte knows that Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng and others are all supporters of King Yun, and this may be working in the Imperial City Division, and it is not a strange thing to be able to catch one of these two people, after all, people have the habit of climbing high branches.

"He wants to see me?" Lotte narrowed his eyes.

"He is very smart, and he knows that as long as he returns to Biandu, his little life will be lost!" Lotte smiled and ordered, "Bring Lord Xu here!" ”
