"Woo!"

The wind roared, rolling up snowflakes in the sky, blowing on the body, like a knife cutting flesh, faintly painful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, no matter how cold the wind is, it can't extinguish the enthusiasm of the people, and the people of Bianjing are full of enthusiasm and celebrate the New Year on the street.

In the New Year of the Song Dynasty, the official holiday was the same as now, it was three days, and the New Year, New Year's Day, and the second day of the new year were all holidays, and you could rest. At the most lively time of the first month, although it is late at night on the second day of the new year, there are still many people on the street, people come and go, bustling, and there is no shortage at all.

"The new year is coming, will the Great Song Dynasty fight with Liaogou this year?"

"Will definitely fight! Last year, the Great Song Dynasty fought so well and killed more than 80,000 Liao dogs, if you don't fight this year, it will be unreasonable. ”

"This year, Da Song Shao said that he would also kill 100,000 Liao dogs, otherwise, Da Song is incompetent!"

In the New Year, we should have celebrated the New Year with joy and joy, and did not talk about these militaristic things. However, the Song Dynasty was too revealing in the past year, killing more than 80,000 Liao troops, which has never happened since the Song Dynasty was founded.

"If Da Song recruits a long line this year, I will go to the army!"

"I'm going too! I don't care if I stab the word, as long as I can kill the Liao dog! ”

"I can kill a few Liao dogs with my own hands, don't say that I have tattoos on my face, I don't care if I tattoo my whole body. Well, that's fine! ”

Young people gathered together and talked while shopping.

In the Song Dynasty, being a soldier was the most unproductive, and the social status was low, and it was a special phenomenon in the Song Dynasty that a good man was not a soldier. Only those who are desperate will go to the army, because the quality of the soldiers in the Song Dynasty is quite low.

Especially the tattoo is even more unbearable. There are many people who want to serve the country as soldiers, but they don't want to tattoo. You must know that in the eyes of the ancients, the hair and skin of the body were subjected to parents and could not be damaged, and it was difficult for them to tattoo words. In order to incorporate these people into the army, the Song Dynasty also made a name called "utility", which is equivalent to the current mercenaries, let them be soldiers and not tattoo. Yue Fei is from a utility background.

However, the Song Dynasty last year was too revealing, and killed so many Liao dogs, which inspired the patriotic enthusiasm and national pride of the Song people, and they were willing to join the army, even if it was a tattoo, they didn't care anymore.

The reason why the Song people were so depressed was not that they lacked passion or patriotism, but that the Song Dynasty had too many defeats and did not arouse their enthusiasm. Last year's great victory completely aroused the patriotic feelings of the people.

"Zhuozhou victory!"

"Zhuozhou is recovered!"

"Kill more than 56,900 Liao dogs!"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar rang out. This roar is hoarse and piercing, no different from a broken gong, and it is very ugly. However, listening to the ears of the people, it was like the sound of heavenly music, and they all turned their heads and stared at the direction from which the sound came.

"Rumble!" I heard a sound like thunder, and I saw a group of Song soldiers in front, and countless people were riding horses, donkeys or running, chasing after them.

Whether he was riding a horse or a donkey, or on foot, they were all overjoyed, blushing with excitement, waving their arms and shouting, as if they had won the great battle of the day.

There are some similarities between this time and the last time. The Song army was ordered to report the victory, and wherever they arrived, the good news would be spread, and the people would follow from behind. Therefore, the team of the victors is like a snowball, growing rapidly, and soon it will be a team, I don't know how many people are following behind.

The only difference is that the last time the people reported the victory, they hesitated, and they didn't know whether to believe it or not. After a period of hesitation, I had to believe it.

And this time, the people did not hesitate in the slightest and believed it. Last year's captivity was able to kill more than 73,000 Liao troops at a time, but this time it only killed more than 56,900, which is more than 10,000 worse than last time, can it be fake?

"Get out of the way! Give the long line, no, make way for the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty! The people in the street roared in unison.

They were used to being called Changxing, and blurted out, and immediately felt that it was out of place, so they changed their words to "warriors of the Great Song Dynasty". Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has not been a few times for the people to spontaneously be called like this, which is too rare.

"Quickly make way for the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty!"

The people came to their senses and urged in unison, looking anxious, looking at them like that, for fear that they would be slow.

In fact, there was no need to be reminded, and the people knew what to do, so they flashed to the side of the road and saluted the Song soldiers who galloped by, and sent them through.

"Da Song has won the battle again!"

I don't know which people were so excited that they took the lead in roaring.

"Da Song has won the battle again!"

The word "again" is used very well, and the people agree with it, and they cheer with it, and the roar goes straight to the sky, shaking the ground and shaking.

"Quick, bang the gong! Beat the drums! ”

"Quick, set off firecrackers!"

The joy of the people is too difficult to suppress, and they are all thinking of ways to vent. It is the occasion of the New Year, a lot of festive things have been prepared, only a short period of time, the whole Bianjing City is boiling, gongs and drums are noisy, and the sound of firecrackers shakes the world!

"Long live the Great Song!" The people cheered and poured towards the palace like a tidal wave.

xxxxxx Jiying Palace, Song Shenzong sat upright, like a stone statue, without the slightest movement.

Shao Jiu saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, wanted to inquire but didn't dare, hesitated and couldn't decide. After thinking about it, Shao Jiuyi gritted his teeth, bowed his body into ninety degrees, and asked cautiously: "Official, official......"

Song Shenzong was still sitting upright like that, without any movement, if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he really regarded him as a statue.

"Official, what happened to you?" Shao Jiu's voice raised slightly, and he still asked cautiously: "Official, you have been sitting for several hours, and you haven't even entered dinner." ”

The careful Shao Jiu found that since the beginning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Song Shenzong had not belonged to him, and even the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting was absent-minded. Empress Dowager Cao asked Song Taizong to give a lecture, and Song Shenzong stammered, as if he couldn't speak at all.

There is nothing special about this kind of precept, that is, to say a festive word, so that everyone likes to rejoice. Song Shenzong doesn't know how many times he has said it, but he has never been like this time, he stammered on the phone, and the whole dynasty was shocked.

What's even more unexpected is that Song Shenzong not only stammered, but he also kept looking at the north, as if something big was going to happen in the north, which made the ministers speculate.

In addition to Song Shenzong, there is another person who is also absent-minded, and this person is Wang Anshi.

At this time, Wang Anshi was sitting at the bottom of Song Shenzong, no different from the wood carving, there was no movement.

These two monarchs and ministers have been too abnormal these days, they don't deal with state affairs, they don't want to participate in various meetings, they just look stupid in a daze, and they look at the north whenever they have time, which makes people scratch their heads.

"Wang Xianggong! Wang Xianggong! Shao Jiu saw that Song Shenzong did not react, so he had to yell at Wang Anshi.

"Ugh! Did you call me? What do you call me? Wang Anshi asked very mechanically, and returned to the appearance of the living dead, without movement.

Shao Jiu saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to give Wang Anshi a slap to wake him up. Shao Jiu looked at these two stone statues, shook his head, went out of the house, called a eunuch, and muttered a few words in the eunuch's ear.

"Will this work?" The eunuch was shocked.

"How can it not be? The official family has been restless these days, and they don't eat or drink, if they continue like this, will it still be done? We can't persuade the officials, so we can only ask the Empress Dowager to come forward. Shao Jiu was very helpless. He knew that the relationship between Empress Dowager Cao and Song Shenzong was extremely complicated, and if it wasn't a last resort, he couldn't do it.

"Alright! The official family is the same, don't eat or drink! The eunuch muttered, "Even if there is a big event, you have to eat." When you are full and drunk, you have the strength to stand up to the sky! ”

Listening to the eunuch's muttering, Shao Jiu shook his head helplessly. This eunuch was reasonable, but he couldn't persuade him, so he had to wait for Mrs. Cao to deal with it later.

Not long after, footsteps sounded, and I saw the Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Dowager Gao, and Empress Xiang all coming. Empress Dowager Cao walked in the head, Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang supported her left and right, and the three of them looked anxious.

Shao Jiu was about to salute, but Empress Dowager Cao waved her hand to stop him from saluting. Empress Dowager Cao stood still, looked at Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi for a while, and couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Which of these two monarchs and ministers are stupid?" Sitting here, it's like a wood carving. How does the old body give birth to the Buddha statue in Xiangguo Temple! ”

This analogy is too vivid, Shao Jiuda is in favor of it, and is busy explaining the situation in detail.

"Official!" Empress Dowager Gao is the most anxious, as a mother, she feels sorry for Song Shenzong the most.

Empress Xiang was also anxious, but Empress Dowager Cao waved her hand to stop the two from talking, looked at them carefully for a while, and said, "The complexion is not bad, it's not a big deal." In this way, it should be a distraction, an absent-mindedness. Absent-minded, there is still a way to cure the old body. ”

"Official!" Empress Dowager Cao snorted, very powerful.

If it was said in normal times, how Empress Dowager Cao drank heavily, Song Shenzong would definitely be shocked. Today was abnormal, Song Shenzong just rolled his eyes, and there was no movement.

"Baby!" Empress Dowager Cao shouted again, this time much louder.

Song Shenzong still didn't move. Empress Dowager Cao's brows tightened even tighter, and she secretly wondered, which song Shenzong is singing? If she had shouted like this in the past, Song Shenzong would have run to her and her grandmother would have been screaming non-stop.

"Xu'er, what happened to you? If you have something, tell your mother. Empress Dowager Gao was so anxious that tears rolled around, and she almost rolled out.

"Hugh is talking nonsense! You'll be fine! Empress Dowager Cao sighed, and Empress Dowager Gao didn't dare to guess anymore.

"Shao Jiu, you said that the official family has been looking at the north these days?" Empress Dowager Cao looked at Shao Jiu.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager!" Shao Jiu was busy with a sentence.

"North? Northern? What can be great in the North? Isn't it that Yelu Hongji is coming? Well, it seems that the old body has to make a fraud! Empress Dowager Cao groaned: "Official, great victory in the north!" ”

"Great victory in the north!" Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi jumped up like robots with springs.

"What about the military newspaper? What about the military newspaper? Give me a look! Has Zhuozhou ever been captured? "Song Shenzong's eyes shot out like a sharp sword.

"Official, the old man is telling you." Empress Dowager Cao hasn't reacted yet, Song Shenzong's words are too rich and jumpy.

"Zhuozhou victory! Zhuozhou is recovered! Kill more than 56,900 Liao dogs! At this moment, an earth-shattering roar came into the palace.

"Haha! Zhuozhou victory! Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi laughed, and the two monarchs and ministers didn't care about etiquette, hugged each other, and beat each other.

"Zhuozhou's victory?" Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Dowager Gao, and Empress Xiang were directly petrified, if it weren't for the slight undulation of their chests, they would be no different from stone carvings.
